Macbook no longer sees my PC?

i have a PC running vista that is hooked up by a ethernet cable to a wireless router.
up untill last night my macbook would conect to the web though the airport card to the router and would show the PC under "Macintosh HD" and i had set up file sharing on all my PC drives (hard disk and DVD drives that worked a dream), but today it has stoped showing up?
i have tryed GO>Connect to Server> and putting in my static IP for the PC but it just comes up with "conection failed"
i also have Remote desktop and using the same IP have no troble taking over the PC from the Mac, but really want my file sharing back
Please help

Hello Drew, you a star for trying to help.
spent most of last night looking on google but as you say lot of ppl with the same issue and not many ppl saying how to fix it.
yes very strange that the Remote Desktop works fine as it asks for the same info that the non working "join network" asks for (ip number of the PC).
took RD off the mac but still no luck.....really dont want to go though the stress of setting up a windows OS on bootcamp then seeing if that will network and then transmac files accross.....but im stumped

  • My Macbook no longer sees other computers in my network

    Hello,
    I hope this question isn't too strange or difficult. This morning I booted up my Macbook to work on some grad school assignments in a different part of the house since my son was watching TV where my desktop computer is. All of my files are on my desktop, and up until today I have never had an issue connecting to my other computer to access them. Today was different. The "Network" icon does not show up when I open a new Finder window, and my other computer does not show up under "Places" in the Finder window. I have not done anything different, which is what baffles me. I have a wifi network at home which I am currently connected to.
    Can anyone help me see other computers in my network again?

    The "Network" icon does not show up when I open a new Finder window
    Open up System Preferences/Internet & Wireless/Network - select Airport & put a check mark next to *"Show Airport status in menu bar."*
    Right below the status box click on the "Assist Me" button and then the Diagnostic button. Follow the instructions.

  • My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library.

    My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library.  Apple TV tells me to turn on Home Sharing on my computer, which I have.
    Also:
    1. All other ATV connections are working (Netflix, movie previews, etc.)
    2. I have all the latest updates for ATV and Itunes
    3. Home sharing is turned on for both ATV and MacBook Pro Itunes
    4. I am correctly logged in to my Itunes account on both ATV, and Itunes on the MacBook Pro
    5. Everything had been working perfectly for approximately one year until yesterday.
    I'm not sure what to try next.
    Thanks.

    Thanks.  I just closed Itunes, came back today to check it out and the pull down menu with "Computer" or "Apple TV" was inexplicably back again and everything now works.  I had tried restarting Itunes, the modem, and router before with no luck.  Anyway, it's magically working.
    Thanks.

  • MacBook Air No Longer Sees Remote External Drive

    I have an iMac with a FW800 connected external hard drive. I use it for Time Machine backups. Also use an Airport Extreme for wireless connection. My MacBook Air at one time was able to "see" that external drive via the Airport and I used it to backup the laptop with Time Machine. Now, all of a sudden, the MBA no longer sees the external drive. What has happened? I use the MBA only occasionally, and told Time Machine to backup only when I tell it to. So, LOTS probably has changed since the last backup. But, what change has broken this connection? My iMac sees it just fine and does Time Machine backups just fine. When I want to share the DVD drive of the iMac, that works as it should. I just can't see that dang external drive any longer. Both machines are at 10.5.6
    Can you folks give me some places to start looking to get things working again?

    Does the time machine volume meet the requirements?
    -internal drive, not start up disk
    -XSAN volume
    -USB drive
    -fire wire drive
    -eSATA drive
    -network server via AFP (from machines running Leopard), including machines running file sharing
    the volume must be formated as Mac OS Extended or Mac OS Extended (case-sensitive)
    You can't use:
    -Boot Camp partition
    -iPod
    -disk image
    -AirPort Disk
    -iDisk

    I was finally able to resolve this issue. I went to LaCie's site and went to the support area to find troubleshooting steps for my particular drive. It turns out that the problem was corrected when I swapped the power supply cord of the "troubled" drive with another LaCie drive that I have and that seemed to resolve the problem. Thank you Tony for your help. I appreciate you guys!
    Thanks,

  • My iphone no longer sees my airplay device

    i have x-mirage1.06.6 running on my 10.6.8 minimac wired to my lan, and my 10.9.5 macbook pro sees it wirelessly & can display on it just fine.

  • Macbook no longer recognizes my midi keyboard

    Hello folks. I'm having this problem where my macbook no longer recognizes my midi keyboard (M-Audio Radium 61.) I've had it working fine in the past through this midi to usb converter, and now the usb converter still lights up and shows data flowing when I have it plugged in, but for some reason the computer just doesn't seem to see it. The macbook also doesn't see this aggregate device I had working the other day too. But it sees other aggregate devices that are made up of the same outboard audio interfaces I have. Sunday was the first time I had my whole setup working with the keyboard running into Reason, out to Ardour via Jackpilot and out through my audio interface via the aggregate device (which is actually just made up of the inputs and outputs of my M-Audio FastTrack Pro because for some reason the computer sees them as separate devices... different point of contention...) Anyway, so now today was the first time I tried to set it all up the same way again since Sunday and I can't get them working. Any thoughts?

    Use a data recovery product such as the ones listed here, and then get a replacement drive.

  • ID no longer sees my iPad via Folio Builder

    I've run into an issue where InDesign CS6 no longer sees my iPad via Folio Builder.  It was working perfectly for weeks during my app build.  Was able to conduct unit tests throughout build but for some reason InDesign no longer sees the iPad.  When I connect the iPad to my macbook pro via usb, iTunes detects and recognizes it.  I have all the recent software updates installed.  I even reinstalled Adobe Viewer app.  I make sure Adobe Viewer is running on my iPad and cable is connected.  Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

  • ITunes no longer sees my iPad device

    Every now and again iTunes ceases to recognose my iPad. I use an iMac, iPad, old MacBook and have Apple TV and Time Capsule.
    I set a reminder in Calendar to sync/backup my iPad every week with my iMac but every so often, it just doesn't work. I haven't changed the settings but there's no Device listed in the sidebar and it's greyed out as an option in the dropdown menu. There's no summary button either.
    I'm very nervous about rebooting stuff because I don't want to lose what I've got.

    I have the same issue, I set my iPad2 to sync over wifi - but the PC now no longer sees it, and the only answer I've seen on the boards is to plug the iPad in via a USB cable and uncheck the box for wireless syncing... but... it's not recognizing the iPad via USB either, simply as a camera device.
    ... you can see the problem here, I'm sure :-)
    If it isn't recognized, I don't ever see the iPad in my iTunes in order to turn off wifi sync - and on the iPad itself there is no visible way to switch it back either
    Any ideas?

  • Iphoto on ipad no longer sees my photostream since IOS 7 upgrade

    iPhoto on my ipad no longer sees my photostream in the albums page of the iPhoto app since IOS 7 upgrade??
    I can see my photostream and shared photostreams in the ordinary Apple photo app on the iPad. Prior to IOS 7, all these photostreams were visible in the iPhoto app's albums page. What has changed? Its' most annoying as I was relying on my photostream in the iPhoto app as my source of photos for my journals.
    Any suggestions please???

    I've just had a long chat with Applecare in Colorado. Very helpful they were.
    I can confirm that the "new" IOS 7 version of iPhoto app on all IOS devises does not support your my photostream nor any of your pre IOS 7 upgrade shared photostreams.
    Any new post IOS 7 upgrade shared photostreams will be visible in the iphoto app. I have tested it and it works fine. But all your pre IOS 7 shared photostreams and existing my photostream remain invisible to post IOS 7 iPhoto app.
    This "improvement" to iPhoto on IOS devises is now a lame duck. Why ! I'm now on the lookout for a better photo journalling app for my iPad.

  • Macbook no longer connects automatically with my home network

    When i travel and return home, my macbook no longer will automatically join my home network. Is there a way to make the current network your on a 'trusted' network or a default network to join via airport?
    thanks!

    Have you tried adding your home wireless network as a "Preferred Network" in your MacBook's AirPort settings?
    o System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort

  • After the Airport update today, Airport Utility no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?

    After the Airport update today, Airport Utility 6.0 no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?  I'm running Lion on my iMac and updated when Airport Utility prompted me to do so a few hours ago.  After applying the updates is when Airport Utility stopped seeing my routers.  But they are working?  Thoughts?

    Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
    You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
    If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
    Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
    Check the network

  • ITunes + iPhone 3G = no longer sees

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my iTunes, it no longer sees my iPhone 3G.
    Here's what I did:
    - I uninstalled the Asus AI Load (manages the power of the USB ports when products Apple is connected).
    - I deleted all the iTunes preferences (folder "iTunes" in Music).
    - Depending on the Apple forums and the docs, so I put the DFU mode and I restored.
    - I completely uninstalled components Apple and I have reinstalled (the last DL
    iTunes).
    Nothing worked!
    I am in Windows Pro 7 x64, x64 with iTunes + iPhone 3G 4.1.2.
    My mac, it is well recognized. By cons when I plug in Win, my iTunes stopped responding, but such moves well and I recovered photos.
    If you have any tracks would be cool because I like (finally) to synchronize my phone!
    Thank you in advance and excuse my broken english
    Bye

    Well I'll give this a try, but I see no reason why this should necessarily help. My phone has been plugged into a USB port on an Iomega MiniMax external hard drive and has been instantly recognised for weeks before a couple of nights ago.
    Its extremely frustrating that on a £1200 computer you only get three USB ports - absolutely pathetic considering the mini has 4. I've seen apologists for Apple saying that the keyboard gives you more, but what if you use bluetooth? And as anyone knows - try using a keyboard hub for anything more than a mouse, and misery soon results!
