Mavericks won't sleep at all with file sharing on

If I have file sharing turned on on my macbook pro retina (late 2013 model) I cannot put it to sleep at all. The manual sleep option from the apple menu does nothing apart from dimming the display. The computer stays on. This is plainly a bug.
Steps to reproduce:
turn on network file sharing.
have a client connect to your mac (he does not need to stay actively connected and using filesystem at the moment of sleep attempt).
Then choose sleep from the apple menu
result: no sleep.

I have unchecked the "wake for network access" and still no sleep

  • Problem with File Sharing-Permissions throughout Folders

    I'm having an odd problem when setting up a Mac Pro with File Sharing. I have a second Hard Drive in it which is a Server Drive to be shared as a networked Hard Drive for both my MBP and my Fiancee's MBP. Here is the problem I have.
    I set up File Sharing and set up both her ID and my ID. Since this is done she is able to get to drive from my MBP and she is able to get to the drive from her MBP. I am able to read or write to those folders. She is able to view them but is unable to write to them.
    I went to the Server Drive icon on the Mac Pro's Desktop. When I right click and do "Get Info" and select Sharing I can tell her ID is not listed on any of the Folders. She is listed as Read and Write for the entire Hard Drive (which is an internal drive). I am also listed as Read and WRite and then it lists Everyone and says No Access. The same is listed in System Preferences in File Sharing. I have heard this Everyone 'No Access' can cause problems but I prefer not to give access to everyone. The only other option is Read Only and Read and Write. Also, when I have Everyone selected the - sign is greyed out so I'm unable to remove Everyone.
    To continue, what is strange is I thought with it saying on the Server Drive itself for my Fiancee, read & write, that it would say this on every Folder inside. Yet when I select any Folder inside on the Server Drive and select Get Info it says for me "Read & Write" and for Staff "Read Only" and for Everyone "Read only" I'm not even sure where Staff comes fro and of course Everyone is Read Only and my Fiancee not even listed. It just seems that these file sharing permissions are not replicated througout all the Folders when I select it for the Hard Drive itself. What could be causing this and how can I get the same to go throughout the Folders? I know manually I could change them all but this would take a long time and likely still be a problem when any additional Folders are added.

    1. I have turned logged into it from my MBP while at Home and if I'm logged in as Guest I only see the Server Drive which is good. My concern is that if I log in with my login I then sell all Folders including the Main 'Macintosh HD' At least as a guest I can only see the Server Drive but is it any way I can stop it from showing all the other folders on the computer since I have no reason to do that?
    When you login to a mac as an administrator it is normal to see all the contents of the volumes connected to that mac.
    2. Also, I would like to disable all access for Guest. Yet I have it list Everyone or Guest in the file sharing and I have no way of deleting this. I don't want a Guest to be able to connect to this computer or share any files at all on it. Is there any way to disable this?
    Goto system preferernces-->accounts
    click on the lock to and enter your password to unlock the preference pane.
    Then select the guest account. Then uncheck the 2 check boxes. The account should now have 'disabled' underneath it.
    3. Security: How secure is this? I am using it on a Home Wi-Fi network with an Airport Base Station 1GB. I have the Leopard filewall set to "Set Access for Specific Services" since it won't work with "Allow only essential services" I hope my home network is more security but with Back to my Mac how hard would it be for someone to be able to find this computer on the network? I don't do any filesharing on my MBP but do have it set up for File Sharing but only with my login ID.
    If you have your base station set to distribute ip addresses then it is acting as a NAT router and will firewall you.
    I have not setup back to my mac yet so can't comment on its security. Although I would suggest a strong password.
    have a read of Mac OS X 10.5: About Back to My Mac security
    My method of remote access is to use SSH and run screen sharing over an SSH tunnel.

  • Problems with File Sharing.... prev query unanswered

    Hello everyone,
    I posted this query last month and have yet to solve the problem. I was hoping for some fresh ideas.
    I am running a network on an OS X Server between three labs (around 50 computers connected). One lab has 3 IBMs running with Windows XP that are connected directly to a switch (via cable) and 1 IMac that runs from an airport device (Base).
    The second lab has 3 computers running from the switch, and 3 Macs running from an additional airport baystation (located in that lab).
    The problem I am having deals with file sharing. We have several folders which all users have access to ("public" folders) as well as "user" folders which allow access to the individual users, faculty members, and the admin account.
    All permissions under "server preferences" seem to be defined appropriately.
    Eg) selected "only those registered users" with specified user access indicated.
    Initially after setup, all folder access within the two primary labs appears correct on all computers. However, within a few days, all Macs that run from the Baystation in the second lab no longer show correct folder access.
    No problems occur with the IMac in the first lab.
    Typically only one student folder will appear, and it will not be the correct one. No public folders show up (or rarely do). I had thought it may be a problem with users logging out, so I changed settings to induce an automatic logout after 30min of inactivity. This worked at first, but the problem again started after a few days.
    I have tried many things and this problem still seems to occur within a few days of having fixed it. I am wondering if it may be an issue with the Baystation, though I am not sure how to address this. Any ideas would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks.

    Hi There,
    We have just upgraded all design computers to imac and  upgraded our software to CS5 and we are still having the same problem.
    I  called Adobe at the beginning of the week and they told me to speak to  our IT department as it could be an issue with the preferances on out  network.
    Last time I spoke with IT they told me it was an Adobe issue. I  am still very concerned about it but I have a tiny bit of relief that  someone else is having the same trouble (although very annoying).
    Any ideas on how to fix it? Are you running a windows server?
    Please let me know if you find out any relevant info on this and I will do the same.
    Thanks

  • Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

    We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
    I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
    again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
    I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

  • Issues with file sharing after changing password

    Last night I changed my system password on my MacBook Pro and for some reason it caused some issues with my file sharing with my windows PC.
    I was able to finally get the notebook to connect again to the XP PC shared documents by going through finder to go to network and then connected. But the PC would not see the notebook. Everything was communicating fine when I first got the system two weeks ago.
    Tech support did what they could tonight and I finally just decided to set up a connection to my notebook by entering the notebooks ip address on the pc.
    It's alte and sorry for the rambling, but does anyone know why the pc (as well as others in the house) no longer see the notebook?

  • Windows 8.1 ICS with file sharing between computers

    Can someone help me get ICS working with file sharing between two computers (directly connected), without enabling file sharing on the internet network (on a public untrusted network)?  Is this possible?  I have set up ICS between two Windows 8.1
    machines, but i can only get file sharing to work in one direction (from machine B to machine A)... UNLESS I turn on file sharing/discovery with the entire network from machine A (which i do not want to do).  I am not sure this exact question has been
    asked, so my apologies if it has.
    Here is my configuration.
    Machine A: win 8.1 (up to date), two NICs:  a wireless card (connected to internet) and a gigabit NIC (connected to machine B)
    Machine B: win 8.1 (up to date), one NIC, a gigabit card connected to machine A
    What i did:
    On Machine A:  I enabled ICS on machine A's wireless card, which automatically assigned the IP address 192.168.137.1 to the second NIC
    On Machine B:DHCP was enabled so it automatically got an ip address (192.168.137.62), internet sharing works fine (i can open a browser, get email, etc.)
    On Machine B: I enabled "Find devices and content" on the network device
    On Machine A: Going into "view network settings" it lists my wireless network and the gigabit NIC.  The wireless under 'Wi-Fi' says 'Connected', and i can click on this and I have the option to turn on "Find devices and content".
     On the wifi connection, i leave 'Find devices and content' turned OFF (so i don't discover computers on the wireless network, which is a public network).  My gigabit NIC shows up as "unidentified network"/"Limited".
     When i click on the gigabit NIC, it does NOT give me an option to turn on "Find devices and content", it just shows some properties of the NIC (manufacturer, description, driver, mac address) and button that says "Copy".  On
    the gigabit connection's properties (which is listed as "unidentified network/limited"), the option for 'Find devices and content' is missing.
    On Machine A: I open a file browser and type '\\192.168.137.62' and it works correctly, i can see the computer and move files around.
    On Machine B: It doesn't work.  I open a file browser and type in "\\192.168.137.1", and nothing happens.
    If i enable 'Find devices and content' on machine A's wifi connection, everything works, but now everyone on the public network can see my computer.
    Question:  How can i enable file sharing between machine A and machine B ONLY?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The whole point of public networks is that they are unsafe, so file sharing is not permitted for your protection.
      If you have a network which you know is safe, the way to get file sharing working is to change your security policy so that it is set to private, not public. You do this from the local security policy (on the ICS computer).

  • My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.

    My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.
    I've tried activating and deactivating home sharing multiple times, any other reason why this is happening?
    Thanks

    A couple of other things you might like to try :-
    - Determine whether you are able to access the internet from anywhere else on your new PC (e.g. do Windows updates download ?  Can you access the Windows 8 store ? )   If the answer is no, then your problem doesn't lie with IE but with the actual wireless connection.  If the answer is yes, then continue as below.
    - Run IE from the desktop instead of the Start screen - probably won't make any difference, but worth a try.
    - Download a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome and try that - this will show whether the problem lies just with IE or not
    - As a general rule, don't do anything that PC World tell you to do, lol !
    As gg30340 says, this does sound very much like it MAY be a problem with firewall settings - if you're running Norton Antivirus then I believe that will be providing the firewall service, rather than the inbuilt Windows firewall. 
    One thing you don't need to worry about - Windows 8 is a perfectly good OS and works just as well as Windows 7 did.  I'm using it now !

  • Mavericks won't accept 'change all' command to open ALL pages files with v 4.3 app

    Hello again,
    I upgraded my MacBook Air mid June 2013 build to Mavericks at my Apple store. The download was fast, under 30 min., and the installation went well, also fast at about 40 minutes. All apps are working fine. I spent much time before taking the plunge to learn the pros and cons of this upgrade, and the biggest issue for me was the ability to keep using the older versions of Pages and Numbers.  The new, watered down versions cannot do what I need. I followed the instructions to select a Pages file in Finder, open the Info pane, and under 'Open with' selected the old version. Then, to apply this to ALL the files, I selected 'Change all...' and 'Continue'. But, it still lists the new version as default. So far, the only fix is to go through ALL my files and manually choose the old version for each. Very laborious. Am I missing something? It seems Mavericks will not accept to change them all for some reason.
    Thank you, Cinilla

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • File sharing between Mac Mini and iMac "breaks" after reboot of either device, and won't restore.  Why?  Running Maverick 10.9.1 on both.  File sharing is setup on both.  Help.

    I'm a new user - recent convert from longtime Windows to Apple.  Thought having desktops and computing aligned with phones and tablets would help.  Not so far.
    I have a MacMini running Mavericks 10.9.1, and an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1.  File Sharing is set up on both.  If either device is rebooted for any reason, file sharing from the Mac Mini to the iMac "breaks" and will not easily restart.  Various things eventually brings the connection back - usually having to do with checking and unchecking File Sharing, the AFP button, and/or the SMB button on the iMac - but never the same procedure twice in a row.  File Sharing from the iMac to the Mac Mini is never disrupted - always comes back up without a problem.  Screen Sharing also works between both without fail, and comes up after reboot of either.  No problem there.  Only difficulty is from Mac Mini to the iMac. 
    Why?  Any ideas? 

    Should also clarify - usually takes multiple hours of checking/unchecking file sharing settings in order to restore the share between Mac Mini and iMac.  NEVER happens automatically.
    This is disruptive because I've got the Mac Mini pointing to several file locations on the iMac for various things - photos, music, etc. - and they all hang up unless the share is restored.  Real bummer.

  • Help!  Trying to access a share disk with file sharing- problems

    I have limited knowledge of file sharing, keychain access, and Macs in general.
    My school uses the Mac OS 9's for our schoolwide "Accerated Reader" program (a common program for schools accross the US).
    I am unable to get the 4th grade class room's Mac computer to access the share disk "AR Folder," which means that the Accerated Reader program won't work in this particular classroom.
    I go to "Keychain Access." The infor I get for "kind" is "Apple Share password." I go to "Unlock Keychain: AR Computer," and I type in the correct password. I click "unlock". The next window shows "Keychain: "AR COMPUTER" on disk "MACINTOSH HD" 2 items. My choices are "AR Main Lab" and "AR Main Server." When I click on both (one at a time), and on the next window, when I click "go there" the following error message appears:
    :An error has occurred. Unable to go to this item's location. An operating system (-5016) occurred."
    What can I do from here on? WHat could be wrong? Help me troubleshoot!
    Thanks!

    Hello sylves,
    First..many people may be hesitant to help answer your posts as it deals with a school and security issues and passwords. It is not too good to mispell "accelerated". This could indicate someone trying to get into an area they don't have permission to access.
    I offer sevreal ideas.
    1. Perhaps you could explain your position in school.
    2. - Ask the tech people at school for assistance. I know this can be had at times. I work in a school with all PC's and only a few Macs so they are not quite up to fixing our mac problems.
    3. - post more info as to if these computers are able to use internet or are they just going to the school server etc.
    I post this as ideas how to get more help and not disrespectfully.....Jim

  • Problem with File Sharing  -- Intel IMac Powerbook G4

    When I try to connect to my Intel IMac from my G4 laptop, I am able to make an initial connection for file sharing, but when I try to browse the mounted volume, the files don't show up and after about 30 seconds the connection breaks, I get a 'Server Connection Interrupted' message, and the file sharing on the IMac turns off automatically.
    Both OSs are up to date. Connection to G4 from IMac works correctly.
    Is this happening for anyone else? Any ideas on how I might fix this?
    Thanks

    I too have the same problem, a Powerbook that won't let anything connect to it via Personal File Sharing. And I haven't found any explanation in these forums or otherwise. I'm pulling my hair out here...
    Simple ethernet network with a Mini & PB G4, OS 10.4.7.
    I can sometimes connect to the PB from the Mini via Personal File Sharing. But I always get the "server connection interrupted" dialog, as soon as I try to access the mounted drives. Then the Mini's finder hangs up, and I have to force quit, sometimes taking the entire system down with it.
    I've tried connecting to the PB with other machines, and I get the same "server connection interrupted" problem. On the PB, I've rebuilt permissions, deleted /library/preferences/SystemConfiguration..., turned on & off all combinations of services and Directory Access, run fsck, created a fresh account, pretty much everything besides re-installing my system. Nothing fixes the problem.

  • Time Capsule - problems with file sharing

    Time Capsule is working great with Time Machine, but I can't copy files to it even after enabling file sharing in AirPort Utility. I'd really like to move my iTunes library to it since the external drive it currently lives on is full and the TC has about 1.96TB still free. Any thoughts on what the problem is? I see it under "shared" in Finder, but all I can see is the "data" folder and I get warnings that the drive is read only. Thanks for any help you all might be able to provide!

    Not Bob .. but it is fairly simple.
    When we say external drive we mean a drive plugged physically directly into the Mac.
    It can then be backed up by TM.
    Just open the TM preference and click on the options.. it should automagically include all disks connected to local machine. You can exclude a drive though. Make sure nothing is excluded .. if it is uncheck it.
    TM cannot backup a Network drive but can use a drive as long as it is correctly formatted and accessible to Mac OS as a target for the backup.
    I would also recommend you do a straight backup of your disk. 500GB drive is cheap. Get a USB holder and do that direct file copy or use a software like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. The later can make a direct copy of the disk in the freeware version. IMHO it is a lot easier to recover.. the increments if you already have the bulk.

  • Trouble with File Sharing

    Hi,
    In April I upgraded my old Core Duo MBP to a shiny new Core i7 MBP. From the get go I have had problems on and off with Apple File Sharing and Screen Sharing over my network. I have a Mac Mini hooked into my entertainment center used as a HTPC and I generally had controlled it via the laptop screen sharing over the network.
    When I received the i7 I began to notice issues, the machines would randomly not connect. The Mini would still show up in the sidebar of finder windows, but would hang on "Connecting..." for a minute or so and then report "Connection Failed." Attempting to share the screen would give the same result, telling me to check both my network connection as well as the sharing settings on the Mini. I know the Mini is configured correctly, as I can have my old Core Duo laptop right next to the i7 and it will connect perfectly.
    system.log reports this if that helps"
    er.session
    Jul 13 16:41:49 Sven /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[109]: SharePointBrowser::handleOpenCallBack returned 64
    ("Sven" being the name of the i7 laptop)
    I have also noticed that nether the Mini nor the Core Duo laptop can connect back to the i7, even though I have verified the settings in the i7 as having both File Sharing and Screen sharing on. Rebooting the i7 does not seem to help, however seemingly at random it will start working again at a later time. Sometimes it works flawlessly and others it does not. Earlier today I was having no problem watching a DVD on the Mini, I left and closed the i7's lid putting it to sleep, to come back later to it being unable to connect.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    (Afterthought: I am still using 10.6.3 on the laptops because I also use them with Steam for gaming and according to Steam they at this time do not recommend upgrading due to some problem with the graphics cards and 10.6.4?)

    Update: It also appears that the computer no longer wants to recognize the printer that connects to my WiFi network either (I printed several pages just earlier today, now it keeps telling me there is a communication error with the printer). Internet still works fine, but it seems any form of communication with other devices via my home network is off limits.

  • Problems with file sharing

    I'm having a lot of problems setting up OS X 10.5 server. Help with any/all of these issues would be much appreciated.
    1. Sometimes, the server "forgets" that my administrator account exists. That is, I log off/restart/shut down normally, and then I can't log back in with my administrator account. I use the installation DVD to reset the password for the localadmin account (whose password no longer works), and when I log in as localadmin, my administrator account is gone & must be re-created. The home folder is still there and intact, so once I re-create the account, I can log in from it and my desktop & dock etc are just like they should be. But it's inconvenient to have to keep doing this; it's happened twice in less than a week. Any suggestions?
    2. I'm trying to set up a "Group File Sharing Folder" as described in the manual. It says "make sure file sharing service is on and access to the Groups shared folder is turned on". I have turned file sharing service on, but I can't figure out how to turn on access to the Groups shared folder. (I tried going to the "File Sharing" section of "Server Preferences" and clicking the plus and selecting the Groups folder, but when I do so the "Open" option greys out, so it cannot be shared. I don't know what else to try.)
    3. Also, when I try to connect to the server from a client computer, the only share that I see available is one called "Empty". But I haven't set up a share called "Empty", and as far as Spotlight will tell me I don't even have a folder called "Empty" on my computer. So how do I get rid of this "Empty"? (If I add a share, it shows up in addition to "Empty".)
    4. Finally, is there any documentation about file permissions? I'm coming from Server 10.3, and I'm very confused by files/folders apparently belonging to more than one group/user, and it doesn't seem possible to change which user/group a file/folder belongs to anymore (without going to the terminal). What's going on?

    I would create another user in the local domain with a different username that you are certain isn't already used. Give the user administrative privileges. Then the next time that this happens, you can login with this alternate admin user, and determine what the problem is.
    Without logging in and looking at the logs and LDAP records, you can only speculate what it might be. Are there two users with the same username, one in the local domain, and another in the shared (network) domain?

Maybe you are looking for
