Mac OS 9 AFP file sharing volume not visible under Mac OS 10.5

An old blue-white PowerMac G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2 with file sharing on is not visible on the network for a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.5. – However, a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 perfectly shows the G3.
Connecting to the G3 works on the new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5 if I use the server's IP-address (afp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) but does not work if I use the server's name (afp://<servername>).
All other shares on the network are visible for both the MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5 and the PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.
Why does the MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.5 not show the G3?
Why can't I connect to the G3 using its AFP name?

I think this is because there is no AppleTalk on Leopard.
Ah, I stand corrected........
Go to SystemPreferences > Network
Select your connection in the left column. Advanced > AppleTalk
Enable AppleTalk for your connection.

  • Lion will not allow AFP file sharing

    After upgrading my iMac to Lion, I tried to turn on File Sharing, but it would not allow it - I'd check the box, it would refuse the check.  I had to go in to Options and check SMB Sharing to get File Sharing to work.  However, I'd like to use AFP file sharing, not SMB.  I still cannot turn on AFP sharing - I check the box, it unchecks itself in 1/2 a second.
    My Macbook Pro was upgraded a couple months ago, and it does not have this issue.  What am I missing? 

    I had this same problem so I opened the console application and viewed all messages.  Then I tried to check the File Sharing checkbox and noticed that two new entries showed up.
    3/31/12 9:21:05.415 PM com.apple.coreservicesd: launch_msg(): Socket is not connected
    3/31/12 9:21:05.645 PM com.apple.coreservicesd: bind(): Address already in use
    Each time I tried to check the checkbox, I received the same messages.  I could of done more detective work but Address already in use may be some kind of memory leak issue or something so I simply rebooted my Mac Pro and then I was able to check the box and it stuck this time.  Also, I was able to share my file like I intended.

  • Unable to connect macs with afp file sharing

    I am suddenly unable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Mini using afp file sharing. I've done this successfully many times in the past, most recently about three weeks ago.
    After using Go -> Connect to Server and picking the previously used Favourite Server entry, I get the Connecting to Server window, then after about a minute I get a pop up that says:
    Connection failed
    The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.
    Then the Finder icon jumps about and in the Connecting to Server window the message is:
    The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://aragorn" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
    Both machines are connected by Cat-6 cable to the same router, File Sharing is enabled on both machines, and Airport is switched off. I can ping each machine from the other, and both otherwise work fine. I've also tried connecting using the IP address instead of the machine name, with the same result. I've even tried another router, with the same result.
    Anyone seen this before?
    thanks in advance,
    I.B.

    Thanks, j.v., for your reply. It's very strange, this.
    I tried your suggestion, but to no avail. The destination machine is visible using ⇧⌘K and under 'Shared' in the sidebar of the Finder window, but selecting it from either place didn't work.
    However, after the connection attempts failed, I tried clicking on the 'Connect as' button in the Finder window, and after a bit I got the login credentials window. It allowed me to log in, then connected with the access I was after.
    I guess it must be some sort of access permissions issue, but it's quite odd that it only just started happening as I move files between these two machines frequently, and never had any problems before. The 'error code 36' message is completely useless for troubleshooting...

  • 10.6.8 randomly drops file shared volumes?

    Just wondering if anyone else has run across this. Since updating to 10.6.8 (using the combo updater, of course), my Mac that acts as my "server" is randomly dropping the connection between its shared volumes (using normal AFP File Sharing) and other Macs connecting to it. They are all wired together using gigabit ethernet and a gigabit switch. Been working just fine for months. But this problem seemed to arise soon after I installed the 10.6.8 update this weekend.
    Without a Time Machine backup of my System folder, what's the best procedure to reinstall 10.6.7?

    I forgot to add that I don't want the DB files anyway, so my workaround was to not care that cp command wouldn't copy them (although it's very odd that osx could tell me that a file, which has the name 'whatever', does not exist).
    After the copy was finished I had a problem with a filename that had copied incorrectly (like, volume 33 - 4.png had become VOL43~(&.png, or something like that). The data was fine. When I tried to rename it back to the proper name, OS X told me that a file with that name already existed.
    I opened the questionable png in Preview, which then displayed the proper filename in the titlebar. I re-saved it under the proper name (had to type it in) and it worked. However, now a different file name had been corrupted in that directory. whatdaF?
    I opened Disk Utility and did a Repair Disk on the MyBook. It didn't seem to show any errors, but afterwards the problem filename was fixed and everything seemed fine. I don't know what was going on there....
    I'm fiddling with the diff --recursive command to try to find differences in the content of the files, but not much of  linux user....

  • Enable AFP File Sharing via ARD through command line?

    Anyone know how to enable AFP file sharing on a remote Leopard client using ARD? I had been sending Unix Commands to do most of my changes, but cannot figure out how to enable AFP file sharing through a unix command. I've tried running /usr/sbin/AppleFileServer but that doesn't seem to do the trick. Any ideas?

    Howdy, Space Ranger!
    I'd recommend checking out the following documentation to get filesharing going without interrupting a current user.

  • File sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

    file sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

    Hello there Karen,
    It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
    Soft reset
    Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
    From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
    Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
    Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
    Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
    Quit AirPort Utility.
    Hard reset
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
    Release the button and the device will reset.
    Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
    Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
    Select the Other Options button.
    Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
    AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
    Quit AirPort Utility.

  • I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again?

    I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again? I have reinstalled MacMail as everything had disappeared. The new install has given me everything except the Yahoo folders. When I looked one of the folders had reappeared, but now it has gone again. I am using Yosemite.
    Desperate to find those folders with so much data involved.

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • How to read contents of files that do not fall under public security group?

    Hi,
    I need to read the contents of a WCM based xml file that does not fall under public security.
    The process is like this:
    First the user makes chnages to the content.
    The workflow will be triggred based on the security group metadata that is associated with the content.
    Once the content is finally approved our workflow calls a custom idoc script.
    First we tried directly reading the xml contents from the idoc script which was still in the context of workflow. But since content item is still in workflow I was not able to read the changes. So I created a separate content publisher thread and read the DOC_INFO and checked for the dStatus value. If the value is RELEASED then I reading contents by calling ssIncludeXml idoc script.
    This was working fine for public content. But now the requirement is that all content cannot be public. Content authors should not be able to edit the content that does not belong to their group, So we created security groups (and roles) and are associating that groups to the relavent content.
    Beacuse of this change I am not not able to read the non public content. The call to DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service, which gives all the content files' metadata, is expecting the user to be logged in to give the details.
    I tried calling the CHECKIN service with sysadmin and captured the cookies returned by that service and use cookies for the DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service call. But the service call was faling. It is throing the 401 forbidden error with the message that user needs to be logged in to get the details.
    How to address this problem. Someone please help.
    Note: I also tried using ridc for this. I was able to get it working but since it is executing in the context of server ridc api is changing server's environment properties like HTTP_HOST, HTTP_CGIPATHROOT etc. It also seemed like system was becoming non functional after using ridc. When I called check-in the system metadata values like security group are no more loading. Not sure if ridc is the culprit here but worried that it might be causing this issue.
    Regards,
    Pratap

    Sorry, I posted too much details while posting this question. I was saying "not able to read *non* public content".
    Anyway, I was able to resolve the issue. I was able to authenticate with sysadmin credentials in the request to service using basic authentication and was able to read doc info with that credential.
    But I realized there is more than option for reading secure content.
    - I could set user name as sysadmin in the m_environment (if I am in the context of a service) and the call the DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service.
    - I can post an HTTP request to DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service with sysadmin credentials and do basic authorization via the connection. (This is what i have done successfully as of now )
    - I could add guest role to all security groups with R (read) privileges.
    I will look into all options and implement the one which is more apt.
    Regards,
    Pratap

  • HFS+ formated USB Disk not visible under Windows 7

    Hello.
    I recently purchased an APE and hooked a 4TB HFS+ drive via USB on it. Unfortunately it's not visible under Windows7. Though if I use a Fat32 formatted drive i'm able to access it. I even have macdrive installed. The drive is working properly if connected to the PC or MAC manually.
    Please help

    Hello exalderan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    FWIW. I currently have an external USB drive (NewerTech miniStack) connected to my 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). I can access it from Windows 7 (Ultimate) from either a dedicated Windows PC or from a Parallels VM running Windows 7 without any issues. The 2 TB drive is formatted in HFS+.
    What type of errors are you getting?

  • I heard that if you file share with someone on accident, they can gain access to your mac if they know the password to your mac. Could someone who I accidentally file shared with login to my mac if I did not have an admin password at the time?

    I know it was stupid to not have a computer password at the time, but I now do. Could this be possible?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    This would only happen if you choose the whole hard drive as a shared folder, and it's not. By default, OS X only sets up File Sharing in order to share files through the Public folder. You can see which folders are being shared in System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing.
    If the whole hard drive is selected as a shared folder, remove it because they can access to all your files without any password. Apart from that, there's no risk, as they can't see any other folder than the ones you chose in System Preferences > Sharing

  • File Sharing - Drives not shown

    I have six Macs on a network with DSL Modem and a separate router. (this is irrelevant)
    One of the Macs (G3) is a server. (still irrelevant)
    I have always used "personal File sharing" on the G3 to allow my other Macs to access it. I turn on AFP on the G3 and GO>Connect to Server from my G4 MDD.
    Up pops the user name and password (everything ok to here)
    In that list usually shows something like this:
    Macintosh HD G3
    Macintosh HD2 G3
    johnsmith
    davesmith
    janesmith
    Notice it will share the Hard drives on the G3 AND the User Folders.
    Now I just recently get only this:
    johnsmith
    davesmith
    janesmith
    No hard drives!
    Does anyone know what could be wrong? I can share from other Macs on the network as outlined above and their drives show in the list. Also remember, this G3 server has always allowed me to connect to the drives. Now they are just not there. I have trashed the preference file com.apple.systempreferences.plist etc. No luck. I have rebuilt permissions. No Luck. I have got info on the disks to see if they have their permissions correct. No luck.
    Anyone have any ideas.
    Thanks.

  • Mac OS X Server, File Sharing, Permission

    Hi All,
              I’m trying to use Mac os X server Maverick in a small team within my
              organization. I was able to successfully install and setup the server, which
              resides in a local network. I did the following setup:
         1 )  Open Directory Setup
          2 )  File Sharing ,  /Users , available for home directory over AFP
          3 )  Created Network users with home folder pointing to /Users
          4 )  Bound Clients to the server
          5 )  XCode Server Setup with git repository
          Users now can login using their own account and their home folder 
          is loaded from the server. Unfortunately there  are issues. Clients are having permission issues,
          which we have never encountered on local machines before we switched to using XCode Server. 
          Here is a list of some of the issues so far 
          Xcode issues on client computer:
               a)   When creating a XCode project, it reports the error “Couldn’t not find build module Drawin” when clicking create
                 button.I found online a workaround fix that supposedly works, which is to set "Enable Modules (C and Objective C)"
                  to No. But we didn’t have to do this before using XCode server.
               b )  When committing to git repo , the following error happens “fatal: Repository has been updated ,
                    but unable to write to new_index. Check the disk is not full or quota is not exceeded ,
                    and then "git reset HEAD"   to recover”  Another work around we found online is to do on the client, 
                   cp index backup ; mv backup index
           We don’t want to have to do this every time we create a project, what could be wrong with the setup?

    You need to run Server Admin and click on the File Sharing icon at the top. Then click on Share Points, and Browse. You then browse to the folder you want to set the permissions on.
    You will see in the bottom half of the window the current permissions. While in theory you can use just POSIX permissions, Snow Leopard prefers using ACL permissions. So as an example to set a folder to be only accessible by members of a specific group and to deny access to everyone else you would do the following.
    Click on the + symbol at the bottom
    A window will open listing all your users and groups, click on groups at the top
    Find the special 'Everyone' group and drag it to the ACL section
    Find the group you want to give access to and also drag that to the ACL section but make sure it is above the Everyone group as higher setting override lower settings
    Set the Everyone group to Deny Read permission, this will prevent them being able to access this folder
    Set the group you do want to have access to Allow Read or Allow Read/Write, the first would let them only be able to read, the second also allows them to create files or modify files.
    Now click on the Save button in the bottom right.
    You might also want to click on the gear wheel symbol and choose 'Propagate permissions' if you want to apply these permissions to all the files and folders within this folder.

  • Unable to enable AFP file sharing, SMB won't allow connections. Is there a workaround?

    After upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, I cannot enable file sharing.  Checking the checkbox immediately unchecks it.  When looking into this more closely, I can enable SMB, but not AFP, and my husband cannot connect to the SMB share when enabled- it just gives him a "Connection Failed" error.
    When I try to enable AFP, I get this message in the console:
    1/1/12 11:04:06.084 AM com.apple.coreservicesd: launch_msg(): Socket is not connected
    1/1/12 11:04:06.000 AM kernel: nstat_lookup_entry failed: 2
    When I enable or disable SMB, I get a combination of several of these messages in the console:
    1/1/12 11:12:29.970 AM com.apple.smb.preferences: ERROR [launchd_client.cpp:138] failed to send GetJob message to launchd for job com.apple.smbd: Socket is not connected
    1/1/12 11:12:30.000 AM kernel: nstat_lookup_entry failed: 2
    Is there a way to repair or work around this?  I bought Lion less than a month ago but can't find a way to contact Apple support directly.

    I have tried numerous workarounds with no success. Everything worked fine on Snow Leopard as regards to connecting to my MBP from my Mac Mini. But with Lion, none of that works. Can we get a refund for Lion? This is atrocious!
