IDisk Public folder access

I'm attempting to give others browser access to my public folder. Everything works per the directions below except that the public folder password doesn't work. It's necessary to use my dot-Mac password to reach my public folder! Has anyone else seen this?
"Mac or Windows users who are not MobileMe members can access your iDisk by opening a web browser and entering: public.me.com/[YourMemberName], and if necessary, entering your Public folder password."

I have the exact problem mentioned above.
I have changed my System Preferences — MobileMe — iDisk — Your iDisk Public Folder — Password-protect your public folder PASSWORD to a NEW PASSWORD that is not my ACCOUNT PASSWORD and it won't take.
I have tried to access my public folder with the NEW PASSWORD but it only responds to my ACCOUNT PASSWORD.
I've reset it the password many times, restarted many times and have tried accessing the public folder through Safari and Firefox.
I'd prefer to have a separate password for my public folder.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Link to iDisk Public Folder?

I'm still navigating the Homepage closing. All is well except my Public Folder.
I put materials in that folder for my students and colleagues to access, but with the closure of homepage I think that no longer works.
Can I link to my iDisk Public Folder from a page in my MobileMe site?

Try this:

Looking for the Mac OS 9 iDisk Public Folder icon

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm creating an icon set of Mac OS 9 icons for OS X. I've been able to locate the regular iDisk icon, as it's stored in the Mac OS 9 "System" file. But, what I can't seem to locate is the iDisk Public folder icon. I found a pic of what it looks via Google Images:

If anyone could help me out, that'd be awesome

Hi, Alex -
If you are accessing iDisk while booted to OS 9, you are probably using the utility Goliath to do so.
The icon you reference looks much like those in the set used by Goliath, which can be found in the icl8 resource in the Goltiath program.
Tip - in OS 9, when you copy-paste an icon to a folder to give the folder a custom icon, an invisible file named "icon" is created and placed in the folder. This invisible file contains the "icl" family of resources for the custom icon. This resource is easily opened using ResEdit, and perhaps by other icon manipulation utilities, and eliminates a lot of the clutter associated with opening a program in ResEdit to get to the icl resources.
Because of changes to the icon formats ResEdit itself no longer works well in OS 9.1 and later for alteration or modification of an icon. However, there is a utility that will allow you to create custom icons or modify existing ones -

Idisk public folder with password inaccessible via Safari

My idisk public folder is password protected.
No one (at least using a Mac) can access it using Safari.
They can, however, access it from a Mac using FireFox. (I haven't tried IE).
Is this a known bug. I recall it happening pre-Leopard, as well, so I don't think it's Leopard specific.

Have you checked and double-checked passwords (keychain) for this iDisk thing?
Sometimes KeyChain FirstAid helps. or Repair permissions(n DiskUtility).
Do you get error messages when you attempt a file transfer to iDisk?
What do you mean "wireless server and .mac settings are not compatible"?
Your statement that you no longer receive email on dot-mac?
It appears that your dot-mac account is getting mail, since you're able to forward it somewhere else.
Do you really mean that whatever mail program you use isn't able to login to the dot-mac mail account?

Share iMovie 08 files via iDisk Public Folder

Does anybody know the best way to share iMovie files via the public folder of my iDisk? I'm trying to share videos of HS football games using this method. The files are 250-400 MB in size. Anyone have any ideas?

You would send the "link" to your QuickTime file stored in your iDisk Public folder.
The URL syntax would be:
http://homepage.mac.com/accountname/.Public/filename/fileextension.
Ask your visitors to copy (don't click) on the link. Then open QuickTime Player and "Open URL" (File menu) and paste the URL.
One of mine as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.mov
You can also use simple XML syntax to create a QuickTime Media Link file that allows more features (full screen, autoplay and quit when done and even embed URL "links" into the file.
Another example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.qtl
Clicking the link above will download a very tiny file and then link to the source video (and the additional features).

How to mp3files, from iTunes, to iDisk public folder etc.

Greetings:
I need to upload unedited sound files to my .mac iDisk public folder for download from the sound editors.
How do I do this from iTunes. When I drag & drop, it goes through the motions of copying the files from iTunes, to the iDisk folder, yet nothing is actually transferred.
It is necessary to use iTunes because FCP will not compress in MP3, and the zipped aiff, although appearing as 4.9mb, is not allowed by iDisk (2G) as being 'too large of a file."
Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Nordicdogs
1. First export the music file to the desktop, then try move it to the iDisk.
2. The 'to large a file' message can occur if the File Permissions are screwed up. However, fixing permissions with Disk Utility only works with System Files, so Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iTunes Music Folder.

Idisk public folder won't sync on .mac site

Help my local idisk used to sync perfectly to the main idisk mac site via my public folder, until I recently changed over from a dial up to wireless internet connection. Now isyn works ok, but I cannot upload anything from my local idisk public folder to the main idisk website on .mac.
Anyone with any suggestions would be welcome?
If it helps in any way, I could no longer receive e-mail on my mac.com e-mail address either as the wireless server and .mac settings are not compatible. So now I have to forward all my .mac.com e-mails to my g-mail address which downloads normally into entourage! I think this issue is probably linked to why my idisk won't work, but don't know how to fix it.
Thanks for any help

Can i connect to my idisk public folder and download?

is this possible? i want to download some mp3s in my public folder or documents

Jullian,
So you have to mount your iDisk on your desktop and go directly to it with something like Air Share? I've always just worked with a transfer folder on my hard drive/desktop. Will this let you access ALL levels of files on your iDisk - not just your public folder?
I wonder what new capabilities Apple is talking about getting for accessing your iDisk from a iPhone/touch.

Question about iDisk Public Folder Security

Is it possible to determine which folders in my iDisk's Public Folder are accessible to certain people.
I am directing different people to my Public Folder, so I want some folders to be off limits to some, but accessible to others.
Is that possible?
Thanks

In addition to what QTK says, note that the whole issue becomes moot in a few months. In June, I believe, Apple has said that MobileMe will disappear, taking with it things like your iDisk. You'd be better off starting to use something else now, rather than learning new things about the iDisk that will be irrelevant soon. Dropbox is an excellent alternative.

Idisk public folder

Not sure this is the correct place but I cannot get the password to work on letting someone use my public folder. It asks for a password but it is my main password not the one I enter when using the mac tab on System Preferences.

Outlook Public Folder access and permissions

How do I add an account to a public Folder and grant management permissions to that account?

Hi,
To add permissions for client users to access Public Folder content, we can use Exchange Management Shell to add it as what ManU PhiliP posted.
Alternatively, we can use the Public Folder Management Console to add public folder permissions for a client user. For detailed steps about this, please refer to the following official article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998834(v=exchg.141).aspx

Public folder access error 0x8004011D when using mfcmapi

I seem to be getting this error when selecting the public folder in mfcmapi. I'm using the Feb 2014 release of mfcmapi.
Code: MAPI_E_FAILONEPROVIDER == 0x8004011D
Function CallOpenMsgStore( lpMAPISession, (ULONG_PTR)m_hWnd, lpEntryID, ulFlags, (LPMDB*)lppMAPIProp)
File MainDlg.cpp
Line 437
I can access the private mailbox without issue using mfcmapi, but the public folders I'm not able to. This problem is causing my backup software not to do document level backups. So I need to resolve this issue.
Also, if I create another user and give them the same access as administrator, the new user cannot access both the private mailbox nor the public mailbox when using mfcmapi so it must be a rights issue, but I can't find where it is!
Any idea's would be appreciated.
Thanks

Exchange 2013 Public Folder Accessability Issues

After migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 we are experiencing random issues accessing Public Folders. Issues range from a hung server requests to on-screen errors like this one:
“Cannot expand the folder. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance”
We are using groups to manage permissions, verified that they are mail enabled, and have used the following PS command to re-propagate permissions:
./AddUsersToPFRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder "%folder%" -User "%groupname" -Permissions %permissionlevel"
The odd thing is that if the user bounces between on of their Inbox folders then back to one of the Public folders or restarts Outlook it seems to resolve itself.
Ideas?

Hi Niko,
Firstly, apologies for the delayed update...
We are still experiencing random loss of access to Public Folders, I would think it would be so much easier if I could replicate the problem quickly and easily however that is not the case as I ran into this issue again this morning.
I am really at a loss for explanation, what I can offer is when we had migrated from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2010 I had to export the PF out to a pst file prior to importing them on the new server installation. While migrating from Exchange 2010
to Exchange 2013 we did follow the migration process.

"Exchange Server 2003" Public folder access within OWA

Hello,
I can connect to my exchange server 2003 (I know I have to upgrade) with OWA through an alias (webmail). After connecting in OWA, when I click a button in the navigation bar (contact, rules, ...), it's working OK except for public folders. When I click on
public folders button, IE open a new window with this URL https://<netbios server name>/public instead of https://webmail/public. I googled around and found a thread explaining how this problem can be address by modifying navbar.js. But in my situation
navbar.js and every other files located in ..\exchweb\control doesn't seem to be access anymore, they have been replaced by those here ..\exchweb\6.5.7651.60. There is no navbar.js in this folder but a vw_navbar.js. I can't find the code I have to modify like
in navbar.js to to address the problem.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Hi Chris,
This symptom can be caused if we enabled any redirection on /Public virtual directory. You can check the /Public settings and configuration files to remove the redirection. We can also reset the reset the default virtual directories as the KB introduced:

Public Folder access on Exch 2007 from exch 2013 user

I have an issue with my test user that I migrated from 2007 to exch 2013 being able to access public folders that reside on the 2007 server. 2007 users accessing public folders on 2007 have no issues. I have it narrowed down to autodiscover. Please see the
below exerpt from autodiscover. The "<PublicFolderServer>ex2013.accessDOMAIN.net</PublicFolderServer>" section shows that autodiscover is giving the name of the exchange 2013 server as the publicfolderserver
instead of the exchange 2007 server. My question is how do I reflect the correct server "Exch2007" on this autodiscover output?
