Lost "Shared" in Finder after upgrade of 10.5.2

I have 2 Window computers that are networked as well as my MacBook Pro.
Prior to my 10.5.2 upgrade I could see and access those other machines and their files.
Since the upgrade the "shared" folder does not display in the Finder sidebar.
I have checked Finder preferences and all the appropriate boxes are checked.
Any suggestions out there?
Also, after doing a Archive and Install, is it OK to delete the "Previous System" folders that are created?
Thanks in Advance

Hi, I found Terminal commands within this section of the forum, on page 3 or 4. I don't give them out because I am not familiar, nor comfortable working this deep in the system. You can reset Finder, New Finder window, and try commands.

Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite

Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite. Has anyone had this problem? How did you re-import all your lost music? My iTunes currently only contains all of the music I have purchased from the iTunes Store but nothing that was burned to my iTunes. All of my music files still seem to be located on my hard drive within the iTunes folder but they did not re-import into the library during the upgrade to Yosemite. Thanx for your help.

Hi OrangeOAK,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you still have the music on the computer but need to re add it to iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Adding music and other content to iTunes - Apple Support
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

Lost Ability to Scroll After Upgrading to Firefox 6.0.2

I've lost the ability to scroll using my mouse (touchpad on a Lenovo T400) after upgrading to Firefox 6.0.2. I still have the ability to scroll in every other application (IE, Word, etc.) and previously had the ability to scroll in the prior version of Firefox. I'm operating Windows XP and have already checked to make sure my mouse settings are correct. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Flash does not appear in the plugins list. It works fine in other browsers. /Library/Internet plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt exist. I can't find the flash plugin elsewhere (profile/plugins, in the App package)
I created a new profile to test if the profile was at fault. The plugin still did not load. Firefox finds the plugin but in [profile]/pluginreg.dat it adds it under [INVALID]:
[INVALID]

IMac 10.8 Internet sharing stopped working after upgrade from 10.7

My iMac 27 (10.7) with Internet Sharing enabled has been working perfectly since last year. After upgrading to 10.8, I noticed the up arrow flashes and goes to regular WiFi mode. Stopping/starting the service causes the up arrow to flash again and immediately default to WiFi. I removed Ethernet and WiFi options from Network settings and re-installed which solved the Internet sharing from flashing and defaulting to WiFi mode. However, connecting to the Internet sharing from other devices (iphone/ipad) does not work and will not connect to the internet. On the iMac, I'm able to browse the Internet without issues.
If I disconnect the Ethernet cable and plug into either my MacBook or MacBook Pro and enable Internet sharing, everything works perfectly and all my other devices can use the Internet.
Now sure how to further troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I should add that the iMac is running Mac OS X Server which was also upgraded to 10.8. I was looking inside the Server for security options that restricted internet access via Internet sharing. Nothing.
Thank you!
David

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately this isn't a solution for my problem. As I understood, you showed me that your IP addresses had changed after enabling/disabling internet sharing. I checked my IP addresses after enabling/disabling internet sharing by using "ifconfig" but they are the same as set manually before.
My other strange observation regarding the ping command has gone now. After switching on internet sharing I had to disconnect the ethernet cable and plug it in again. Then the ping between both computers is working (but still not internet sharing).
Anyway ... thanks for your help!

Lost saved mail messages after upgrading to OSX Mavericks

I rencently noticed that after upgrading to OSX Mavericks I have lost all of my saved messages from before that date, messages mainly from my gmail account that is syncing with Mail. I have also noticed that the same messages are now missing when I log into Gmail and look for them there.

HI,
I also use IMAP and the "folders" I create in the Mail App are actually created on the IMAP server.
My Mail side bar looks like this:-
Between the INboxes and the Google folders are the Smart Mailboxes (Today) and the On My Mac line which is current closed/hidden.
I have a bunch more folder that are On My Mac in here.
I went the Google Mail Web page the other day and was informed that there was a New Inbox.
I also received an email about it.
It appeared to happen just as I logged in to Google.
I not sure it this was coincidence or the trigger.

Lost my E: drive after upgrade to mountain lion

Hi,
I upgraded to Mountain Lion today and everything looked ok. However when I booted into windows 7 (boot camp), I found my E: drive missing.
Earlier with snow leopard, windows 7 would show me the following drives
(BootCamp) C:
(DVD RW Drive) D:
(My Data) E:
(Macintosh HD) F:
Now with mountain lion, windows 7 cannot find E:
A screen shot of my computer management window is below and it shows my earlier E: as unallocated.
Can I get my E: drive back?
Thanks in advance.

After trying to rebuild my data for a month, I have got it all back today. Luckily I didnt need the data during this time. Ok below is the solution for others who find themselves in a similar situation.
Recap...
When I had Snow Leopard, I installed windows 7 with bootcamp. Within windows I resized my windows partition and created a new drive E:\ for my data files, Every thing was great and E:\ has all my data from over last year and a half. Also had set up my backup schedule to run once a week.
December 20th 2012 - D-Day
I upgraded to Mountain Lion and the OS worked great. However when I booted into Windows 7, my E:\ has disappeared and my computer management widget shows an unallocated block where my E:\ once resided.
You can see screenshots of my partitions in both Windows 7 computer management and Mountain Lion Disk Layout in my posts above.
The Solution...
Looked for data recovery solutions online and homed in on EaseUs Partition Master at http://www.easeus.com/partition-recovery. Installed the free version in windows 7 and ran the Data Recovery ->Partition Recovery Wizard -> Search all lost files automatically.
It took a while, about 3-4 hours, but after that I could not believe my eyes when I saw my entire folder structure with all my files from my missing partition.
However the free edition only recovers 1 GB of data, so I went ahead and purchased it for $69.95.
This software does not recreate the partition, but allows you to restore the lost files and folders to an existing drive. It also warns you not to select the same disk as destination as it may overwrite the space used by the lost files thus preventing 100% recovery. So I went ahead and recovered the files to my pen drive.
Now I had to recreate the partition from the unallocated space in Windows7 computer management screen. But then I would again face this problem when upgrading to Mac OS X 11 in the future I will have to redo these steps again. So I decided to configure the partition in OS X rather than windows 7 and format it as FAT.
I went ahead and created the partition in OS X and Quick formatted it as FAT. When I created the partition, I was warned that this action could possible affect my boot record (or something to that effect). I ignored it and went ahead.
A new problem surfaces
Now when I restart the MAC, windows 7 is missing from the list of bootables. But the solution to this turned out to be very simple.
See Christopher Murphy's detailed explanation in the discussion here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144252?start=0&tstart=0. I just read through the 1st few posts on this discussion to restore the windows 7 bootable option when restarting.
To conclude
Thanks Christopher Murphy from the other discussion for help on the 2nd half of the problem.

Printer sharing doesn'w after upgrading to OS 10.5.8

I updated my Intel dual core 2.16 iMac to OS 10.5.8. This computer runs a local wireless network and shares it's internet (coming from the ethernet connection to LAN) and its printers (one USB and one over the LAN) to other macs using the airport. It worked perfectly before the upgrade...now the other macs on the wireless network can't use the shared printers. They can still use the internet. The iMac can still print directly ....any suggestions?

Also check the firewall settings on the iMac (System Preferences > Security > Firewall). If this is set to 'Allow only essential services' it will block your printer share.
One thing I noticed with the 10.5.8 update is that it removed my local connected (USB) printer queues, which also occurred after the 10.5.7 update. The LAN printer queues were untouched. Once the USB printer was reconnected, the printer queue appeared again in the printer list, with the sharing checked, however the share did not work. After disabling the share and re-enabling, the printing was working again.
If you open the printer queue on the iMac, do you see the incoming print job in the queue? Wondering if the job is getting to the iMac or not leaving the client.

Can't open Finder after Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10

After the Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10 on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display i can't open the Finder and it says it's not reacting. The bar on top when i'm at the Desktop is also gone.
Can somebody help me ?

I had this exact same issue, and I was just able to fix it (at least for now). I'm not an expert by any means, so I can't tell you why my solution worked, but if you follow it and it helps, then great.
First, you'll have to restart your computer and open in Safe Mode. Restart the computer and as soon as you hear the startup noise, press and hold the Shift key. Release it when you see the Apple icon. It will take a little longer to start up.
Then download and install the free software called OnyX.
Once installed, open OnyX and click on the Verifying tab, then click on the Preferences tab. Run the Check button at the bottom. If it tells you that you have any damaged files, double click them on the list, one at a time, and then delete those files.
Then I clicked the Scripts tab, and Executed all three scripts.
Finally, under the Cleaning tab, I clicked on System and executed everything except "CUPS jobs".
I then restarted my computer like it suggested (without opening Safe Mode) and everything was back to normal!
Hope this helps.

Why can't I see my applications in finder after upgrading to Yosemite?

I upgraded to Yosemite and now my applications do not appear in finder. How do I fix this?

Well, first of all, Safari is located on the dock. That's how I got Safari open. Although I am a new user of Yosemite I've been using mac computers for over 7 years. So, I'm not a complete moron. Yosemite seems to be a bit inconsistent on my computers. In Finder on my mac desktop computer there is, on the left side, the heading "Devices", in which my mac and my macbook pro are listed. Here the macbook is called "Remote Disc". On the macbook the heading "Devices" is not present. Instead there is the heading "Shared". Here I can see the mac listed but, not the macbook. So, the hard drive for the macbook is not listed in Finder, on the macbook. On the macbook I did attempt to locate the applications folder under my user name, which is listed under Favorites. There I find a folder named Applications but, it appears to be empty. When I click on it nothing appears. I have discovered a work-around though. I can locate my Applications folder by clicking on the hard drive icon on the right side of the desk top of the macbook. So, since I have been able to locate the Applications folder there I have decided not to worry about trying to locate it in Finder. If I were still worried about it, would that be enough information for you? Is that precise enough? I was trying to keep it brief. I didn't want to write a novel.

Mkv,avi vlc icon issue in Finder after upgrade Yosemite

After Yosemite upgrade I have a problem with vlc icon in Finder.
mkv file don't have vlc icon and show white icon:
some avi file show this icon:
and other avi file show this icon:
I uninstalled and reinstalled vlc but I have not solved the problem......

I used to be able to use Quick Look to view MKV files, and then it stopped. I've been playing around with this the last few days, and now it works again.
I have Perian 1.2.3 already installed like yourself. On a hunch, I re-installed MPlayerX 1.0.17, and Quick Look worked again for MKV files. This seemed to work on my Mac Pro (10.6.8).
However, on my MacBook Pro (10.6.8), I don't have MPlayerX installed, but Quick Look works on MKV files anyway. I don't know what components Quick Look needs for MKVs, but you can try this method to see if it works for you.

Has anyone else lost their iTunes app after upgrading to ios7

When upgrading to iOS 7 I lost everything and had to start from factory settings on my ipad2. I've recovered everything except the iTunes app. I have an app named "Music" and I have the iTunes Store app. I tried going to Ap Store to download it and it states that iPads already come with iTunes... Well mine's gone after the upgrade. Does anyone have suggestions?
