Mac can't see company's internal website

I have a MBPro with WinXP in VMware. My can cannot 'see' our company's internal webiste. I am supposed to be able to type "pronet" and it takes me to my company's internal website. When I type in in my mac browser it takes me to an external website, but when I type it in a windows web browser in VMware it takes me to the right place. Any ideas?

It sounds like pronet is the intranet name, so in the address bar you simply type "pronet".
If this is the case, the reason the Mac may not see it is due to DNS. The Mac must be communicating with your local DNS servers (and the same servers as your Windows system).
Open up System Preferences and open up Network, make a note of the DNS servers that are listed in DNS Server (for your active network interface - probably Ethernet or Airport).
Then compare those values with your Windows system, open up the Run dialog and type cmd then type in ipconfig /all in the command prompt. You will see the DNS servers listed for your Windows computer.
If they are different, that's most likely your problem, as that is what it sounds like to me, you may have to go in and manually add something to your Mac DNS. It's also possible the Windows system has the IP address of pronet plugged into it's HOSTS file. Which you would have to configure on the Mac as well then.
DNS, or WINS?
The mac isn't resolving intranet names because it does not recognize netBIOS names, and does not use WINS (to resolve netbios names.)
If the XP side is not configured for the correct WINS server, it will not be able to resolve the intranet name, either.
The WINS issue can be fixed by adding the IP and name to the HOSTS file on the mac. At one point, adding the windows WINS server to the DNS list in the network configuration on the mac alos worked.

Mac can not see any printers.

Mac can not see any printers.
I have 2 other computers (1 windows / 1 Mac Book) using the printers just fine but once device can not even find a printer. Any ideas?
Printer is Ricoh Aficio MP C3501
The computer could not find the printers so I cleared them from system preferences. Updated everything, including downloading the most up to date driver, restarted and still can not see any printers.
Thank you for your help,
Darren D

Hello ddelin,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I realize that two out of your three computers can see your printer, but one MacBook Pro will not. You have also done some great troubleshooting by deleting the printer, installing drivers, and trying to re-add the printer. If the issue continues, I would suggest resetting the printing system. Please use the attached article for more information.
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Best regards,
Joe

I keep getting an "Oops! You can't see pages on this website" because it is not on the approved list in parental controls

When trying to access a website I have accessed a thousand times, I get a message that says "Oops! You can't see pages on this website." It goes on to say that it is because it is not on the approved list in parental controls. I have never made a list for parental controls because I am the only one to use this computer and I am an adult!

Have you checked to see if Parental Controls has somehow been enabled? What do you see when you open the Parental Controls panel in System Preferences?
It wants me to enable the website by putting in my apple ID
Can you provide a screenshot of the exact message? Make a screenshot by following the directions here:

Off the top of my head, my guess would be that you have iCloud Keychain turned on, and have saved a password for the Zulilly site. This would result in a prompt for your iCloud/Apple ID password, so the password could be auto-filled in the login form. See:

Mac can not see time capsule

i bought Time capsule over Amazon .Air port works fine , but my mac can not see time capsule,,,sometime does , but most of the time not...
It is a problem with time capsule i have 2 T new generation

You don't mention what type of Mac you have, but is there any way you can move it around to see if that affects the problem? If you hold down an "option" key while you pull down the AirPort/WiFi menu bar item, you should see a value labeled "RSSI" that is the strength of the wireless signal. A value closer to zero is stronger. For example, -30 is decent but -80 is poor.
By the way, you don't seem to have declared any of your system details in your profile or didn't select your details to be included in your post. Those can help people give you correct advice. To update that, click on "Your Stuff" near the top of a window on these discussion groups, then on "Profile". Scroll down to "My Products" and either edit an existing one or add a new one.

My Mac Can't See Files on External Hard Drive

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with my iMac today. It can't see any files on my NTFS External Hard Drive after a sharing change, I'm using Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX v8.0.0.
Yesterday evening I tried to share the drive over my network by clicking System Preferences / Sharing / File Sharing and then adding the drive as a shared folder. It is since doing this that I cannot see my files on this external HD. I have a second NTFS HD here which I connected and I can see the files on that drive so I don't think it's a software issue.
I have tried a few things to try and fix it but to no avail.
1. I have tried removing it from the shared folder list but that hasn't solved the problem. I tried adding it a second time just in case but that didn't do anything either.
2. I have repaired the disk permissions via disk utility
3. I have tried "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder" to show hidden files but they still don't appear. I have reversed this so hidden files are no longer visible.
If I connect the drive to my Windows 7 laptop I can see and access all of the files.
I hope someone can help out with this issue. If you need any other information just let me know.
Kind regards,
Kim
System Details
iMac 24" Early 2008 Model
Core 2 Duo - 3.06Ghz
4GB RAM
OSX 10.7.2
iomega 1TB External Hard Drive
Formatted NTFS
Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX v8.0.0

I had the same problem but only after I upgraded to Lion. I could see the files on my external drive on other Macs using older software. It seems that Lion wasn't seeing old files on the external drive. So we accessed the files on a Mac using Snow Leopard, copied all the files into one new folder on the same external hard drive and now they're there on Lion. Problem solved! I hope this helps

My Mac can't see my shared library in iTunes

Io have a little issue here I set up my home sharing between my Mac and my pc and my pc iTunes can't see my mac 's library in the shared icon but my MacBook pro's iTunes can't see my pc's library help please

Blog entry: macs can't see, pc's can?

I am unable to view the text or main photo of my blog entry. It looks fine in iWeb, and all PC users can view - just not those on a mac? I can't see the text or main photo on my mac at work either. I have tried re-publishing several times, but for some reason, this blog entry is giving me problems. Thanks in advance for any advice!

you need to rename the page with standard ASCII characters and no special characters

Mac can't see some shared Windows subfolders

I'm trying to copy all my pics and music from my old PC (running XP) to a new iMac. I shared both the My Music and My Pictures folders on the PC, and the iMac can see and access both folders. However, the Mac cannot see all the subfolders within those shared folders:
1. The iMac missed (seemingly randomly) 31 of 871 subfolders in My Music while I was using the Add to Library function in iTunes. It tried accessing the missing shared subfolders directly via Finder, and could not see them on the Mac.
2. The iMac cannot see any of the 20 subfolders or 10 files in My Pictures.
All of the share settings on the two shared folders are identical. And there's nothing unique about any of the invisible subfolders within the PC's My Music folder - they just can't been seen on the Mac. I have 3 other PCs on the network that can all see all the shared folders.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

On a whim, I tried enabling Simple File Sharing on the Windows PC (I had been setting up everything manually, so I could customize access, etc.), and this did the trick. I must have set something up that my Mac didn't like, but I'm not sure what it was...
You can do this by opening My Computer, then Tools >> Folder Options >> View >> Advanced Settings >> Use Simple File Sharing.

Pc and Mac can't see eachother

Hello,
For some reason, when I open Finder on my MacBook Pro, I don't see any of the computer anymore that are in my network. I have a network with a few other windows PC's in it and this MBP and I remember I always saw other PC's showing up automatically in the left sidebar of my Finder. For some reason, they're all gone. They are supposed to show up automatically there right? Or at least I can't remember having to add them manually.
Also, on my Windows PC, I can't see my MBP anymore. Neither am I able to print anymore from my MBP to a printer connected to a Windows PC and shared on the network. Any suggestions why this is and how to solve it?
The reason I came up with this is that I'm trying to set up streaming. I have a Mede8er connected to my network on which I can see my Windows PC, but not my Mac.
Weird huh?
Hope you can help! Any more info needed please let me know.
Cheers,

Not weird at all. Mac OS X isn't that friendly of a Networking OS. Have you rebooted the Mac lately? If not give that a try first. Then Reboot the Win PCs. Then give the Mac a few minutes to see the Windows PCs and the Win PCs to see the Mac.
On my MBP I get my Win PCs usually a few minutes after I wake the Mac up or start it up. It is not instantaneous.
It could also have something to do with the AV or Firewall or Internet security program you have installed on the Win PCs. They are known to Block all network connections at any time for NO good reason.

Two Macs can't see each other on same network

We have an iMac and a Mac Book Pro on the same apple network at home. The iMac can see and connect to the Pro and exchange files but the Pro can't see the iMac in Go > Network. All sharing settings are the same. Any thoughts welcomed.

How many machines are on your network? If you have over 7, then here should be an entry called "All..." in Shared in the Sidebar. Click on that. It will show you all the servers that are available on your network. You can also get to this list via Computer (Command-Shift-C) and click on Network.
Shared in the sidebar shows a max of 7 servers, with Back To My Mac's at the top (if any), then servers you have mounted share points on (if any), then the top 7 (in alphabetical order) servers in Network (a.k.a. "All...").
Hope that helps.

Mac can't see HD when booting from CD

I just bought a used Powermac G4(MDD) single core 1.25Ghz w/256Mb of ram and an 80Gb HD from a school sale and decided to reinstall OS 10.0.3. When I finally got the installer to come up(after numerous kernal panics) it couldn't see my HD. Booting w/9.2 disc didn't do it either so I moved my system folder to my flash drive and attempted to boot off of it. It then saw the HD and I initialized it and did the write zeros thing and still nothing. I replaced the HD but quickly found no conventional means to format it seeing as it couldn't see that one either period and I could find no third-party programs to do so. I'm not inexperienced as far as technology goes as I am a computer technician but I know fairly little about Macs and bought this to see what all the hype is about. So far it's been fairly disappointing:(
I'm sure a working one is much more enthralling:) Anyway...any input would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the help.
I've tried the disk utilites..none of them can see the drive while I'm booting off the CD and the system profiler can't see it either. The software I'm using didn't come w/my Mac, I got it randomly when I bought it out of a box of software. I assumed that any OS disk would work with any Mac(excluding system requirements). Do I need to buy a new copy or is it my Mac? Where is this list of minimum OS's or each Mac? That could be the problem as I'm using OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.1.3. I'm not going to upgrade my system as I just wanna play with it and learn what's apparently so great about Macs.
