Ibook can't see others anymore

Hi
Used to be able to see my G5 and all my external disks on my Ibook by simply connecting firewire cable between the two. Now nothing shows up anymore! FIreWire network connection is active on both with different IP addresses
I do see an alias of my G5 in the GO menu (network) of my Ibook but it tells me it doesn't find the G5 (can't find the original element)
And the G5 doesn't see the Ibook at all. In fact when i choose Network in the Go menu...nothing shows at all!
I've created a new Ethernet configuration and checked the Apple Talk box but I can only configure it manually...
Hum....must be doing something wrong
Any help ?
Both are running 10.4.7

Can you describe your local network with some more detail? Is it possible that you are using DHCP to get IP addresses and you recently shut down two computers - so that they now received different IP addresses?
As long as we're learning about your local network, can you just tell us the IP addresses?

I have recently deleted several old backups from a portable usb drive (formated NTFS-3g(MacFUSE). The macmini can´t see it anymore but my imac does?

I have recently deleted several old backups from a portable usb drive (formated NTFS-3g(MacFUSE). The macmini can´t see it anymore but my imac does? The usb ports of the mac mini can still see my other drives formated with FAT32.

Thanks, it is working now, after I have installed NTFS3G.
I did not format the drive. I was using it as purchased to do backups for a while. After the corporate backup system was working correctly again I was using the disk at home for my homevideos. Since the corporate backup was running correctly for ten days in a row, I have decided to delete those backupfiles on the usb drive. Each backup was a folder consisting of almost 30GB data, mirroring the servers harddrive which is running on windows xp. After I have deleted those folders, only the video files remaind and I could not open the drive on the macmini anymore.

How do you use Time Machine to restore a specific users account? I can't do it from the user screen because I am not allowed. I can't do it from the admin because I can't see other users in Time machine.

I can't restore my user account from the users screen because I get an alert that Mac OS needs something. I can't restore in TimaeMachine from the Admin screen because I can't see other users home folders. What can I do?

See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.

Can't see other party when face time's connect!

Can't see other party when face time connect. Other party can't see me either !

Do a Reset and try again - [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

BBM on OS7 can't see others Personal Message

First time poster as I've been able to fiddle my through issues in the past, this on has me baffled.
I can post a Personal Message and others can see it, I can't see others in their profile. I was on a BES in the UK and due to issues this week had to activate on a other one in the USA. Had to move back and forth a few times (painful) and the lasy activation they went missing.
Deleted BBM
Battery pull
Re installed BBM
Same issue
Thoughts?

Sorry, but what "network list" are you referring to? Are you referring to the iTunes Home Sharing feature? If so, perhaps this will help:

Firefox covers the whole screen so I can not see other programs opened at the bottom of screen

firefox covers the whole screen so I can not see other programs opened at the bottom of screen

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the status bar and scroll bar fall off at the bottom.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Can't see other Macs/PCs on the network...

Since installing the Safari 6/Apple Remote Desktop Update I can't see other Macs/PCs on the network. If I restart I can see 2 Macs, but after a while they disappear, and I can see/connect to nothing...

If you are using DHCP check that it is getting the correct addressing. In the event that it is but still not working then test by giving it a fixed IP and see if it then works.

Since i made the upgrade to mountain lion i¡m unable to make facebook video calls , i can,t see other's people webcam

since i made the upgrade to mountain lion i¡m unable to make facebook video calls , i can,t see other's people webcam

I am having this same issue on my Macbook Pro Early 2011 running Mountain Lion. I try and use Facebook video chatting as I usually would, and although the other person can see me, what I see on my end is a still picture from their webcam that is often flickering between what my own webcam is picking up, and it continuously flickers with static lines (picture an old TV getting bad signal).
Skype is also behaving strangely since I upgraded, although it's flip-flopped (Skype is not letting others see me but I can see them)
With both Skype and Facebook, audio is having no issues.

How come I can't see other computers anymore?

I used to be able to see other computers in my area, in the finder window, now I can't anymore. On any of my Apple computers.

That just makes the window smaller, removes the right and top panels
Have you enabled/played with the System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall?
I didn't touch it, it's the same settings as it was before.
Are the other computers in your home? Are they neighbors? Office co-workers?
I have two other computers in my home, and they used to be listed, now they're not. Also when I take my Macbook Pro to school, I use to get a list of about 15 other computers in one of my classes, now I get none listed.
How are these other computers connected? Wifi (make/model of base station), Ethernet (switch, hub, router), over the Internet (cable, DSL, ...)?
All Wi-Fi

New Mac OS Server on network, Windows box can't see other Macs anymore

I just put a Mac mini server on my network and the only services I have enabled are SMB, AFP and Open Directory. Before I put the server on the network (and if I turn the server off) the Windows 7 Pro machine I have on the network used to be able to see the rest of the Macs on the network in the Network section... I could see them, log on to one, grab files, etc. This also went for the Macs seeing the PC on the network in the Finder. Now that I have the server on the network though, I can't see the PC on my Macs and can't see my Macs on the PC. I can, however, do a "Map network drive" on the PC and enter an address to one of the Macs and connect that way. Anyone know why this could be happening?
Like I said, if I turn the server off or disconnect it from the network, the Macs will see the PC and the PC will see the Macs, but once its back on the network, they stop seeing each other, so its definitely something the server is doing that's causing it.
TIA

Confirm you have unique addresses and unique host names for the IP host names on your network. In absolute specifics, make absolutely certain your Mac OS X Server box is not configured at a conflicting address, or with a host name that conflicts with the Windows 7 box or with some other central and critical network resource such as your firewall or an IP router.
It's also possible you've got (for instance) a bad cable or a bad NIC and that's jamming up your network, though that's less likely.
Your Mac OS X Server box requires DNS be configured locally, or within your network.
Confirm unique host names. Confirm unique IP addresses. You can launch Terminal.app and use the dig command at the bash shell (+dig -x 192.168.1.1+ with whatever the local address, and +ping 192.168.1.1+ again with the local address and not with the 192.168.1.1 value shown, and +dig hostname.example.com+ or such for your domain name) or (if you're not comfortable in bash -- do go learn bash, regardless) then you can use the Network Utility in the Applications > Utilities folder.
It's also possible there's a problem with the managed switch configuration or such, but that probably isn't in use here.

Can't see video anymore...

Hi,
I don't know what happenned but I can't see my video anymore... They all became a white square with a X inside... It does the same thing if I import a new video. I tried uninstalling everything but it didn't work, I have Adobe presenter 9, I tried it on another computer with Adobe Presenter 8 and it worked, can someone help me, please ?
Thanks,
Caroline

Hello,
I can send you the file but actually it does that with any file. If I make a new one, i have the same problem, but I save it and try it on another computer that has adobe presenter 8 and it worked. It used to work but now it doesn't, it's really weird. I never had problem but I installed Presenter 9 today and it worked fine this morning but stoped to work fine in afternoon. I really don't understand.
If I import the file, I can see the preview but once in ppt, it give me a white square. It's weird because I only opened the program again and the problem suddenly appears...

Why can I see other peoples' WiFi networks but not my own?

This is a problem that started when an engineer came to replace our TV's set top box as well as our router a few weeks ago. I'll run through everything in quick bullet-point form...
-My flatmates are able to see and connect to our network with no issues at all on their XP laptops.
I, on the other hand, can not see or connect to our network at all. However, I am able to see other WiFi networks.
-Days of rebooting and replugging the router, my iMac and AirPort card prove fruitless.
-Throughout all this, the router is sat on top of the set top box, which is sat on top of the TV. I move the router down so its sat next to the TV and a plant. I'm able to see and connect to our network with no issues.
-Three weeks later, the problem has returned. I can't see our network but my flatmates aren't affected.
-Thinking it may just be poor reception in my room, I set up my Mac in the front room a couple of feet away from the router. I detect other networks, but still not my own.
-More unplugging and rebooting later, hallelujah, I can see and connect to our network. I take the Mac back to my room and try from there. No luck. The familiar XBoxLive8973498374, BT-HomeHub8934897, TalkTalk439847 (etc) and Sofia networks come up in my networks list as usual but not our own SpeedTouch459873439847 (etc).
We have a Thomson ST 585 router and I have an iMac G4 with the original AirPort card. Short of buying a new router, does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is situated a couple of feet from the router in the front room:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/2308676274_00f5eba51c.jpg?v=0
Our network is the one labelled SpeedTouch. As you can see, my AirPort antenna seems to be working perfectly. However, the SpeedTouch connection (and only the Speedtouch connection) would be lost intermittently for several minutes at a time.
This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is in my room:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2308733380_dcdc2faccd.jpg?v=0
The SpeedTouch signal strength is obviously not as strong but still reasonable. I don't seem to have any issues anymore; I can see, connect and stay connected to our network with no real problem - but I haven't changed any settings on the router.

One iBook can't see my Express network

I'm utterly stumped.
I have an Airport Express network that worked pretty much OK until today. It's the Internet link for an AlBook running 10.4.6 (with a built-in Airport Extreme card), a dual-USB iBook running 10.3.9 (with a purchased original Airport card), and sometimes an elderly ThinkPad running Windows 98SE.
The ThinkPad's a little wonky sometimes, but it probably shouldn't work at all, so no complaints there.
Until today, neither the AlBook nor the iBook has had any problems with the network that turning Airport off and on again (or, in extremes, restarting the base station) couldn't solve.
But now, although the AlBook is connected fine, the iBook has stopped being able to see the wireless network. I've restarted, repaired permissions, restarted the base station. Nothing.
The iBook can see four of my neighbours' wireless networks, so I know the card is plugged in and working.
I've turned off every network security option I can find on the base station. It's unsecured and broadcasting its SSID to the world. But the iBook is just blind to it.
Anybody have any ideas?
iBook dual-USB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

That's a good thought, but yes, it was serving both b and g wireless connections.
The unit was quite hot when I unplugged it, including a spot on one side where it was too hot to touch. That may be normal — I don't handle it much — but I found it surprising.
The bigger news, though, is that I plugged it in this morning (I'd left it to cool and, I don't know, get itself together) and it was entirely kaput. No green LED, not even a flicker. I tried it in multiple outlets and tried plugging in a different cord. I tried plugging it in while holding the reset button in. Nothing.
So I guess the base station is dead and the problems I had yesterday were just its death throes. Does it make sense that it would fail to provide a wireless b connection just before conking out entirely? Does the heat indicate anything?
It worked fine for something like two years, so maybe it's just one of those things, but based on these vague symptoms, is it possible I was doing something that would make a new base station die in the same way?

My iBook can't see my Linksys WRT54G router/network

What I said in the subject line.
This setup worked fine, absolutely reliably, for about a year. About a month ago I began to notice that my iBook G4 was not hooking to my wireless network, but instead to a locally-available "Linksys" somewhere in the neighborhood.
My wife's Dell, with XP, sees it just fine.
I've re-started the router and DSL modem countless times, turned off and back on Airport, rebooted the iBook, etc. Nothing. Right now as I'm typing, I can't see the network with my iBook, but my wife's Dell sees it okay.
Any ideas?
(PS. I was using 10.3.9 up until yesterday. Just upgraded to 10.4.6. Same problem still exists with Airport.)

Well, whichever way it was set up, it worked absolutely correctly for about a year. I didn't change anything in my router's settings (nor those of my computer, at least deliberately), but a few weeks ago the computer began having trouble picking up my wireless network.
Yesterday my iBook could not see my network at all. I had to either use that random "linksys" network from a router somewhere around my neighborhood, or else use an Ethernet cable.
