    Hi!
    I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?

    Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege

    Hi, are you doing it through Settings or via iTunes? If doing it through Settings, try plugging it in via USB and updating with iTunes. Hope this helps.

    I would contact Apple under your warranty.  I doubt you received a new iPod since Apple's policy is to give you a refurbished iPod. 

  • HT4847 Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

    Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

    I found the solution .,,,
    1) click on your current plan and press done your payment details will appear .
    2) the first section is your plan and there is a botton "change" click on it
    3) it will take you back to the upgrade options
    4) press on the downgrade options
    5) choose the 5 GB and the done botton will be enabled
    6) click on it  you'll back to the step number 2 , here read carefully you'll see that your changes will take effect after the current plan expired with the date.

  • Drop Box folder in the Public folder not showing on the network

    Hi everyone,
    I am running a MacBook Pro 2010 running OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion. We have an office and multiple mac computers connected to our network. For us to transfer files we use the Drop Box folder inside the Public folder (We do not use the dropbox website/service). We would use the finder and click on the computer on the sidebar, open the Drop Box folder and drag files in with no hassel. However my Drop Box folder is not showing up when other users are trying to access my computer via the network.
    My file sharing is on and I have attached an image with the settings I am using. I have compared these settings to other macs in the office that have a working Drop Box folder and they match. Hope you guys can help me.

    Contact Drop Box tech support. 

  • Hi, I turned my macbook pro off before I went to sleep, and this morning when I awaken. I can't seem to use the volume at all! I went to system preferences sound output BUT everything is light grey and it some-how looks like I don't have permission.

    Hi, I turned my MacBook Pro off before I went to sleep, and this morning when I awaken. I can't seem to turn up or down my volume. It comes up with all the volume bars and a little circle sign with a diagonal line in the middle, like a stop sign. I have gone to system preferences > Volume > Output BUT all my volume preferences have gone all light grey and wont let me access them.
    Anyone help?

  • When I try to download itunes i get a message that the services can not start and I may not have enough privileges. What is wrong?

    When I try downloading itunes it stops with a message that says the mobile service can not start because I may not have enough privileges. What do I need to reset?

    Hello, bradhannan.
    This sounds like a possible permissions issue.  Try these steps.  Uninstall iTunes and all of it's components.  Next, download the newest version of iTunes and save it to your desktop rather than selecting run.  Right click on the installer package and run as administrator.  I have included a couple articles that covers how to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components.

    **** when i try to execute the button the error is that the is impossibile to find the "report ID"???
    there is a easist solution to execute a report from a form button ????
    thank's !
    DECLARE
    report_id Report_Object;
    BEGIN
    report_id:= find_report_object('imm_print_01');
    PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_LIST(report_id , 'repSRV' , 'pdf');
    END;
    the procedure run_report_object_list is the follow :
    PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_LIST(report_id REPORT_OBJECT, reportserver
    varchar2,
    runformat varchar2) IS
    report_job_id VARCHAR2(100);
    vc_rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
    paramlist_id ParamList;
    paramlist_name VARCHAR2(10):=’tmplist’;
    BEGIN
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,
    SYNCHRONOUS);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,
    reportserver);
    paramlist_id:= get_parameter_list(paramlist_name);
    IF NOT id_null(paramlist_id) THEN
    destroy_parameter_list(paramlist_id);
    END IF;
    paramlist_id:=create_parameter_list(paramlist_name);
    add_parameter(paramlist_id,’DESTYPE’,TEXT_PARAMETER,’CACHE’);
    add_parameter(paramlist_id,’PARAMFORM’,TEXT_PARAMETER,’NO’);
    add_parameter(paramlist_id,’desformat’,TEXT_PARAMETER,
    runformat );
    report_job_id:=RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id,paramlist_id);
    END;

    Please see that in your form you have created a "report object" with the same name ie "imm_print_01" . This is done using Forms builder in object navigator

  • I was installing facebook and went on aim while it was downloading and it froze and i turned it off and now when i try to turn it on all i get is the apple then it has the plug into itunes picture. 8gb, 4g, 9months old

    Hi. Today I was reinstalling the facebook app. While the app was loading I went on the AIM app. My Ipod, once on the AIM app, froze. I held the sleep/wake button for several seconds and it still did not lock or turn off. I then held the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for several seconds, and it finally did turn off. I waited about a minute and when I held in the power button for several seconds and all I got was the apple screen and then it had the picture that said plug into itunes. I plugged it in my computer and itunes opened. My Ipod still had the picture that said plug into itunes. Im very upset about this. I have an 8gb, 4g, 9 month old Ipod touch. No problems with it until now. My warranty expires in February of 2011. Is there anything I can do at home to fix this? I did go on the common problems page and tried it and my Ipod still did not work. I have an apple store about an hour away from me. Is it nessasary to go to the store? Anything I can do at home? I appreciate your time and answers.
    Thank you,
    Miranda

    That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

  • When I powered my phone back on all I see is the Itunes logo and THE USB plug. What can I do?

    I powered my phone down to reset it but when I turned it back on all I get is the Itunes logo with a USB cord. When I logo into ITunes on my laptop it is telling me that the phone is in restore mode and wants to restore it but at the same time delete all of my data. Since I cannot get into my phone to do a bacup, I will lose everything. Any suggestions??

    AT this point all your data is already gone.
    IF you been backing up regular you can restore from that last backup.
