Installed windows, can no longer see MB on network

I installed boot camp on my new macbook and everything went very smoothly with that. I have internet access in both OSX and WIndows XP.
The problem is that I use my iMac and ChronoSync to sync up the two computers and to do so I have to connect them with one another via my wireless network. Before I installed XP on the MacBook both computers showed up as visible to each other automatically when they were both active, now they can't see each other for some reason. I still have the MB set to share files and nothing has changed on the iMac.
What could be causing this and how can I fix it? The only thing I can think of is if somehow there is a setting in XP that needs to be changed to allow sharing, but that doesn't make sense because I'm booted in OSX. I tried turning off sharing and turning it back on, but no luck. Any ideas?

Hi,
this issue could be what your seeing. Please check to see if you have 2 Creative Cloud folders.

With the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content.

We have taken steps to ensure we increase our focus on quality in this area to prevent a recurrence.
Once sync has completed, you will have a “Creative Cloud Files (unknown)” folder. This is because the sync application moves your Creative Cloud Files folder to this location prior to the fresh sync.

Can no longer see any wireless networks

Hello,
I've had my macbook for just under a year now and have never had a problem seeing/connecting to any wireless networks in the past. However, over the past few days I have had issues connecting to my router. It keeps kicking me off every 15 or 20 minutes and when I try to reconnect it often gives me a timeout error. I have reset the router countless times and have even reset it to factory settings and triple checked that the firmware is up-to-date. I felt it was a router issue until this morning; it kicked me off so I reset my router and turned my airport off&on but now I cannot even see the network nor the other 10 (or so) networks that are typically viable. Since I cannot even see the wireless networks across the block anymore I seems like this has to be a computer issue (or at least the computer has to be involved to some degree).
I've tried to make an appointment at the genius bar but they are booked solid, as in they don't have any available appointments available at any time, even days in the future. Has anyone seen this problem before? Is my wireless card is on the fritz? Does anyone know of any potential software issues that could cause this?
Thanks in advance.

You can skip the Genius Bar and just call AppleCare directly.
However, a couple of suggestions:
• create a new location in your Network preferences; does the problem persist?
• create a new user and log in to that account; does the problem persist?
This one's more extreme: Do an Archive and Install, which will completely reinstall the system but preserve user accounts and data:

If these don't help, then it may well be hardware.
Good luck!

My Mac-Pro can no longer see my local network after install

My older Mac-Pro hard drive died & I had to install Snow Leopard again from scratch. For some reason, now I can't see any of the Windows PC on my network. I CAN see the Internet (I'm on the Mac-Pro writing this) & I can see my old Mac with Tiger, but I can't seen any of the Windows XP or 7 systems. I know, they XXXX but, I still need to see them so I can taunt them & make fun of them etc...
Here's the troubleshooting part of the show:
I CAN ping them by name from Terminal & from the Network Utility.
I can NOT see them when I go to Finder > Go > Connect to Server & enter their names.
I've rebooted 4 or 5 times & installed the latest updates.
I could really use some help on this, I have about 20 computers on my network & I used to be able to see them all.

For anyone who may have this problem in the future, I thought I would post a reply myself on how I solved this problem.
The problem turned out to be my router. In the middle of the night I had an idea, so I rebooted my router & switches & now ALL the computers (even the Windoze ones) show up!

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.2 Update - can no longer see PCs on network (e.g. ping/offer remote assistance)

Hello - I just did the Adobe Acrobat 9.3.2 update in two different offices and the strangest thing happened while finishing 4 computers today.
I did the restart after installing the last update - 9.3.2 - and I can not connect to the computers again.
The workstations are Windows XP Pro SP3..on a SBS2003 network. The computers restart and the users can log back into the network and have no problems accessing network resources, Internet, etc. The only problem is that I can not ping the workstations from the server...I can not connect to the workstations from the server either. It's very strange how this has happened to the last 4 workstations today - when I had no problems with the other workstations yesterday.
I had the users restart the workstations several times - no luck - even shutdown/restart - no luck.
I am not in the offices to troubleshoot further in person....but I can have somebody be my "hands" onsite if need be.
Has anyone come across this before and know how to fix it - fingers crossed!!
Thanks!
Tammy

Make sure that registry values below are not set to 1:
"DisablePatch" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
"DisableLUAPatching" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Good luck

Can no longer see ANY wifi networks

I have a 4.5 year-old PowerBook (titanium) 550... it seems my airport card is simply no longer working. No matter where I am, even when I know there is a network there and I have the password to access that network, my airport card cannot seem to see any networks. This includes networks that I control and know the settings have not changed.
This started about a month ago; for a few days I couldn't see any networks. Then, suddenly, I was able to, and connect without a problem, for about a week. Now, however, it seems the problem has returned and is permanent.
Any ideas? Could the internal antennas be messed up? Or do the airport cards sometimes just go bust?
thanks.

I have the EXACTLY same problem.
My Apple TV (3rd generation) does not attemp to find any wifi networks since two day ago. Sometimes it does find and connnects to my home wifi network, but it loses connection in a couple of minutes at the longest. When I plug in an ethernet cable, the apple TV works just fine. But when I disconnect it, same thing happens all over again. I have tested several modifications and now I am sure this is not an issue of the router or the network settings.
If anybody has a solution, please be kind to let me know. I can't even get my apple TV replaced since I'm overseas.

Can no Longer See Windows Shares

My network has always connected no problem. Suddenly today I can no longer see the computers on my LAN. These are all windows shares. All I see are two alias' Llbrary and Servers. Mail and internet operates normally both by ethernet and wireless. I've tried everything I can think of. I managed one time to bring up a folder Workgroups but I have lost that too. I think that folder is usually empty though. I was told there was a short power outage which required a reboot of the servers but that is not unusual. Windows client on the network continue to see each other. Any ideas?

I can no longer see my pointer and pull down windows pop up on everything!!! HELP

I can no longer see my pointer and when I go to say "applications" a pop up or pull down menu open up...a tiny noe with words. Before a window with icons would open up and I liked that. Its also happening with the internet. instead of having apointer I see nothing and a pull down menu appears. I can't shoose anything because there is no pointer. What setting is this and how do I change it back? I want a normal pointer where I click on link and they open new links then I can type where I click too.

dunno....could be a gamble...you might have Simple Finder turned on, or accessibilty (for those with vision problems, etc). I think pressing Command+Shift+F8 (that's fn+f8 key) ought to turn it off. If you're really stuck
command+Shift+3 or command+Shift+4 will let you take a screenshot of your desktop which you might be able to post here. Also, check your views setting (Command+J key) which will let you display icons and stuff)
maybe you hit that by accident
good luck

Can no longer see Windows PC in Finder

Ok, we have 3 macs and (1) PC on a network. We connect to the printer via the PC. Everything has been smooth up to 2 days ago. We can no longer see the PC in finder, in turn we can no longer access the shared printer. We have made no configuration changes. However, Security Update 2007-09 was installed on 1/15. This is the day we could no longer print to the PC. Any ideas or can I uninstall the update. Thanks

ITunes + Vista = my computer can no longer see my DVDrw drive...

I just downloaded iTunes 7.6.2.9 onto my Dell Inspiron E1705 - and when I restart my computer, the computer can no longer see my Optical drive (DVDrw). I contacted Dell support, and they changed something in the regedit limits or something(I'm not a techy lol), and my optical drive was back.
But the next day when I opened iTunes I got a message that says:
"Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
So I reinstalled iTunes.
I restarted my computer, and it could no longer see my optical drive AGAIN. My DVDrw drive gets an error that says "This device cannot start (Code 10)." When I check for solutions it says "Could not load driver software."
I go back to Dell support and tell them my optical drive isn't working. They do the exact same thing to fix it (deleting some limit with regedit) and it works. I open iTunes, and I get the iTunes Warning (Setup Assistant Error).
I asked the Dell tech what the deal was, and he said iTunes isn't compatible at all with Vista.
But according to Mac's website it is...
Anyone know what's going on?!?!

I am having the exact same behavior as xhollysue!
It goes like this:
1. Install ITunes, lose optical disk drives hardware (they don't even show up in Windows Explorer).
2. Use RegEdit to disable Upper Filters at HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}, optical drive hardware re-appears.
3. iTunes requires a re-install to permit CD burning, and your back to square one.
I got the above fix NOT from a Dell technician, but, instead, from a Microsoft technician, which cost me $70.
I would strongly urge Apple to research this issue and come up with a more reasonable workaround since (1) the iPhone is being adopted by many traditional MS users and the use of iTunes is an integral part of the iPhone technology architecture; (2) iPhone 3G is just now shipping and will bring even more into the Apple camp; and (3) iTunes is clearly a better media player.
Come on Apple. Let's get some enthusiam and take advantage of this opportunity!

Can No Longer See User Folder in Intrnl Drive after transferring to Ext Drv

I'm trying very hard not to freak out right now, but I can no longer see my User Folder/Home in the Finder Bar after dragging and dropping it into the my newly formatted Seagate External Drive. I have OS 10.4.11 and am trying to install Snow Leopard, but before I do I wanted to back-up my hard drive. So I plugged in the Seagate, formated it for Macs, and then dragged and dropped he User Folder into the Seagate and now it is gone!
Would greatly appreciate advice on how to find the User Folder so I can return it to the Internal Drive AND help on how to properly copy it to the Seagate External Drive as I have been unsuccessful.
Many thanks!

Not really. I previously tried that already. I added Chinese (Taiwan) and moved up pre-existing English as the phone language. Also set navigation voice in Here Drive+ to Chinese. Result:
1. Street names still shows in English (it goes with phone language obviously), like "Da Xing Rd." However, some landmarks will show in both languages.
2. Navigation voice is in Chinese but all the street names are announced in English, so e.g. "Da Xing Rd." is announced as "Da-Sing-R-D". ("St." will be announced as "S-T"...) (This is the same as in WP8)
Thank you.

Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

Upgraded to mountain lion, can no longer see D110 on WLAN

I recently upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion. It is connected to my FiOS home router via Ethernet (wired). I have a Photosmart D110 on my WLAN. Prior to the upgrade, everything worked fine. Since the upgrade, the iMac can no longer see the D110.
If I put the iMac on the WLAN it sees the D110, but it can't see it when the D110 is on WiFi and the iMac is on wired Ethernet. I'd like to keep the iMac on wired Ethernet, is there a fix?
I did try deleting the printer, connecting it via USB, and re-adding it to see if it would install any software updates, but I'm still having the same issue.
Thanks!

fixed - found out I had to turn off IGMP Proxy in my FiOS home router. Why, I don't know.

After update to iPad I can no longer see how I can easily transfer from Auria to PC

After iPad was updated I can no longer see how I can see and work with my Apps in Itunes and I need to do that.
I need to be able to upload files to Goodreader and right now I need to download a file recorded in Auria.
Previously I could easily find my file but now I cannot get access to my iPad/apps
Any suggestions?

Regarding device visibility in iTunes try Andrei Cerbu's post here, JF Fourie's post here, or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
Once the device shows in iTunes you should be able to access the file sharing area from the apps tab of the device when connected.
You may find the apps in question are able to transfer files into Dropbox which might provide an alternate transfer mechanism.

My brand new iPad 2 does not appear in iTunes. I am OS 10.6, iTunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and iPad and switched usb sockets. Don't know if its related, but I can no longer see my Sony Handycam in iMovies too.

What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
