Access router setup page ... go to wireless tab .... Click on Advanced Wireless settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" Try to connect with the PS3 ...see if it works ...

File sharing problems with my Media Player, an A C Ryan

I have a media player, an A C Ryan, hooked up to my wifi at home and it normally accesses all my hard disks that is plugged and shared on my iMac. I had no problems when the iMac was on Snow Leopard. Under Network/Workgroup in the AC Ryan's menu, I can see and access all the files on the hard disks.
The moment I upgraded to Lion, all such access was lost. The AC Ryan cannot connect to the hard disks any more via the wifi network. it's as though file sharing has stopped completely. I checked the file sharing settings on the iMac and nothing has changed i.e. the disks were shared as usual. After struggling with many possible solutions and failing (I checked out a lot of forums), I reintalled Snow Leopard and the problems were immediately solved.
Is there something seriously wrong with Lion's file-sharing? Has this been fixed in 10.7.2? My friend who has a similar setup (his media player is the WD Live) has exactly the same file sharing problem with Lion.
I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

I believe that NTFS-3G has issues with Lion.
I use Paragon NTFS and have had no issues at all. I am pretty sure that NTFS-3G will get updated, but you need to check their site to find out when.

Media Sharing ft. Vista, Kapersky 8, 2 Xboxes, a WRT610N and It's External Hard Drive.

I am running a PC using windows vista and Kapersky 8 and 2 xboxes on my network.
I've been trying for a while now to get media on my PC to play on the xbox (it used to work until an update ruined everything on my old router). After getting this router I attached my WD ebook which my xbox saw as PVConnect. Problem is I can't see how to put any media on to my external hard drive as my computer says I need permission to put this on.
I've tried setting partitions and folders on the advance settings to no effect.
Also why can't I connect my computer using Media Centre to my xboxes. Both show up on EasyLink Advisor, only one shows up on both the network map and in the Media Sharing folder. Neither works though. Could this be my Kapersky Firewall?
I'm totally stuck been at this all day, if anybody has any suggestions they would be much appreciated including pointing me to the correct post, also if there is any other info you need to help me please ask. You can probably tell but I'm pretty new to this.
Thanks Mickey

Well i think the Storage Drive on your Router is not configured properly. In this case you need to login to the Router setup page, and then you need to click on the "Storage" tab, and under the Sotrage tab you need to click on "Create Share" a new window will popup on your screen and in that window you need to click on the Button "Return to Upper Folder" and and under "Current Folder" it should display you "FAT2" and select "FAT2" and below add the "admin" in the Group section and under Displayo Name Give anyname and it should be a Unique name and below click on Save Settings.
Once done, now on your Computer click on Start - RUN - \\192.168.1.1 (As 192.168.1.1 is the Default IP address of your Router) and click Ok, it will prompt you for the Username and Password, in the Username and Password type "admin", Now you should see the Display Name(Unique Name which you have set on your Router's storage Tab") for your Hardriv, Right click on it and Select "Map Network Drive" and below check the Bow "Re-Connect at Logon" and click on Finish.
Now i think you should be able to Send the Files to Drive and it will work perfectly fine.

How did Media Sharing Cable download unknowingly to my MacBook Pro?

Just recently I discovered a "Media Sharing Cable" software program along with my usual folders (music, pictures, downloads, etc) in my Finder. It says it is an app that was installed before I even purchased my MacBook Pro but I have never noticed it before today. When I open the program, it has all my folders such as contacts, pictures, and music in it. I did not download this. I threw it in the trash and it deleted without a problem. I Googled it and came up with almost nothing but saw it on the Mac Informer website with no additional information. Where did this come from? Anyone have the same problem? Thanks.

Curious if you have had any issues in the subsequent two years? I just came across this same issue and am afrait that if I delete (as you did), I'll screw up synching w my exernal HDD or other peripherals.

Issues with Media Sharing to XBOX360/PS3

I'm having a weird issue with media streaming to my XBOX 360 and PS3 in regards to what I can access. I currently have my media sharing setup to share music and videos, including podcasts, regardless of the rating. I usually prefer to stream these items through the XBOX 360 dashboard (not Windows Media Center) or PS3. The problem I am having is that when new things are added to the library (mainly video podcasts in MP4 format in one of my shared folders downloaded via iTunes) I can see them without issue in WMP12 on my computer or Windows Media Center on both my desktop and XBOX 360. However, when I try to access these new items through the XBOX 360 dashboard or PS3 these videos may or may not show up and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why this would be. Has anyone encountered this issue or know of a fix (or is there possibly a recent thread that has addressed this issue)?

I noticed this thread has not been updated in a bot and as I just dropped Win7 on my media PC at home after using it for a few months on another laptop like what i saw from release to release. After upgrading my PC (2.3ghz, 4gb RAM, couple terrabytes in drive space...) I had a problem first just streaming media to both my PS3 and my xboxes (x2). After Binging theweb a bit I found relief fro that by deleting and reseting my Homegroup.
Now that I can finally see content on consoles, I was pretty excited until Inoticed I had only half of my folders available for accessing. It seems out of the 10-12 folders I only have 5-6 of them that will actually show up. Again I tried to find some info out there on the intertubes, but no one seems to have any info specifically to this issue.
What I have tried so far:
1) Took a look security settings and verified what was mentioned above regarding the folder security and I was good there.
2) wiped and recreated the WMP12 media library. after this I noticed that not all the media in the My Videos folder are showing in WMP 12, but I defintely have more stuff showing on the Xbox then in WMP12. figurd that was a file compat issue.
3) tried to copy one of the folders that was not visible into one that was. Aside from somehow cause two seasons of episodes to somehow disappear int eh cut-n-paste then cut-n-return to original folder, nothing happened there either.
so far nothing seems to work. thoughts anyone?
Oh yeah... upgraded from Vista64 ultimate to Win 7 ultimate 64 and this worked flawlessly in Vista.

Xbox WMP11 Media Sharing with WRT54GS & WGA54G

Hi there, I have one PC hooked up to a wireless adapter. My Xbox is hooked directly into the router. As soon as I enable my WPA key on the router and adapter, the Xbox (even though wired) loses connection settings to the wireless network, and I can no longer connect the Xbox and wireless PC. However, as soon as I disable the key, the Xbox has no problem getting in touch with the other computer and using its media sharing. When I do enable the key, the Xbox's wireless settings go grey and I can't enter any manual wireless info there. What am I doing wrong here? It really bugs me that I have to drop my secure network settings to get this to work!

Yeah, that's what left me scratching my head. Why should the Xbox care about any wireless settings at all if it's wired? Is is using those settings for connecting to the wireless adapter? The Xbox sometimes picks up the wireless settings no problem, but every time I try to manually edit those settings with the WPA key it loses the settings and goes gray (uneditable) on the Xbox screen.
But besides that, how do I make the Xbox have a static IP? It's the only wired connection to the router.

Media Extender Problem with WRT300N

I have the Linksys WRT300N wireless router. I am having problems using the wireless connection with my Xbox 360 and my PS3. The internet portions of the consoles works fine. Im running into problems when I try and use either one as a media extender. Both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are using the wireless adapters. Ive made sure that my computer is set up for media sharing and that my Windows Firewall is configured correctly. Ive looked at the setting of the router but it seems pretty complex and I dont know what to change if anything to resolve the problem. Could anyone tell me what the setting should be on the router to enable media sharing?

Media Sharing, Selected NO but still indexes

Hello, I'm having a problem with the DLNA Media Sharing Server still indexing files even though the share has marked that it wasn't meant to host media sharing facilities (changeable from the Shares tab). I've tried all kinds of things, switching the media sharing flag on and off as well as the share tab's media radio switch, but it doesn't seem to respond (still indexes). Help!

Hi there and welcome to the WD community,
When you go to the shares section on the dashboard, is media serving for the share turned off? Thats strange, try to turn off media streaming and turn it back on to see if the folders still show up. Hope this helps you out

Home sharing problem: I have never set up home sharing but I feel I the concept and how it works. I recently (last 2 months or so) deauthorized, first time ever, all computers with my iTunes account. I have 3 computers authorized. I am trying to set up home sharing but get iTunes says:
"Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the Apple Id "#########@###.com". Would you like to authorize now?" I click "authorize" and get the next error " You cannont authorize more than 5 computers. You have already authorized 5 computers with this Apple ID. To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers."
Can someone help or shed more light on my problem?
Thanks,
Richard

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

Airport Internet Sharing Problem Mini - PC Laptop

Airport Internet Sharing Problem
My setup is:
Cable Modem -> Mac Mini --> PC Laptop
... with the connection between the mac mini and the PC laptop being the built-in mac mini airport using internet sharing.
Hi, I've been trying to set up Airport internet sharing with the mini, to no avail. It works off & on, but invariably the internet connections drop after about 10 minutes. The only way to get it started again, is to go into internet sharing, turn off internet sharing, then turn it on again. It will work for another 10 minutes or so (slow) after gong back to the PC laptop and reconnecting, then it chokes again.
I've tried the connection both with & without WEP, same behavior. I read somewhere that OS X only plays well with using Channel 1, so I tried that. No luck. Tried with and without Interference Robustness, no luck.
Tried with WEP on and using 40 bit hex keys using a "$" prepend in the mac as suggested on this web page:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030803030354585
Same behavior, works for 10 minutes, then it chokes again.
Tried with & without the firewall.
Yes, personal web sharing is on.
The PC laptop works fine with any number of other wireless routers out & about town, at my girlfriend's house, so forth.
Any chance I have a bum mac mini wireless card or antennae or something? The reception strength on the PC laptop is good.
Just don't know what to make of it. So stupid, it seems like something pretty basic that ought to work.
Yeah yeah tell me to get a wireless router, but I'm not going to do that, that's one major reason I bought the mini in the first place and it would be nice if it worked as advertised.
Any other suggestions?

Works better now...
this is me again. A week ago or so, I noticed there was an automatic update to the wireless on the mac mini.
Since then the performance is much improved. My PC laptop connection to the mac mini no longer drops spontaneously.
Much improved! Thank you very much!
Yes, on occasion, when I leave and then come back to use the wireless, the laptop will not reconnect after multiple attempts; I have to turn of internet sharing and flick it back on again, but then it works all evening fore hours and hours straight with no problems.
Thanks Apple! It's usable now!

File sharing problems and horror story (nearly)

I use Leopard on a MacBook Pro, a MacBook and a iMac G4 800 MHz (unsupported model).
I have on the iMac and the MacBook Pro many users (the same ont he two machines) and I always use Fast User Switching.
I have had very few problems with Leopard until now; I like it even if there are some glitches or some new features which are not my cup of tea (hierarchical menus missing from the dock, stacks useless when there are many items, FireWall impossibilities (?) to open specific ports, Back to my Mac working on a Lan but not from outside until now, problems with a few apps (Parallels networking erratic), ...
Now about File Sharing.
Let say my main account is user1 (Administrator), and I have another user2 also administrator, plus user3, user4 standard users.
On the iMac I activate File Sharing.
On the MacBookPro, as user1, if I connect to the iMac Server (using afp://IPaddress_of_theiMac/) I do NOT get the dialog
"Enter your user name and password to access file server YYY
Connect to server as Guest or as Registered User"
but I directly get the dialog
"Select the volumes you want to mount on YYY"
From this, if I select user1 it mounts with full read/write permissions which is normal. It appears that I am connected with my Apple account user1&mac.com (same as mentionned in the Account panel of System Preferences).
On the other hand, if I try to connect to the user2 account, I only get limited access although in the File Sharing Preferences, user1/iMac is mentionned with full Read/Write preferences for the Home Folder of user2.
What is very surprising is that if I log on the MacBook Pro as user2, or user 3 or user4, then connect to the iMac, I first get the dialog to enter a user name and a password. This gives me access with the correct full permissions on user1/iMac or user2/iMac using the corresponding user name/password pair; this is the usual behaviour which is missing when trying to connect from user1/MacBook Pro.
Now for the Horror Story!
Trying to understand what was going on with the permissions of the user2/iMac account, I logged in to the iMac as user1, went to the Users folder and from there had a look on the informations about user2 home folder. In the lower part of the pannel, Sharing & Permissions says "You have no access" (which is normal) and this is followed by a table where users and permissions are listed. It seems user1 has Read and Write access in contradiction with the preceding phrase...
Anyway, I tried to modify these authorizations for user2 by clicking on the lock of the Information pannel and entering name and password of the administrator. Didn't go farther than that. By mistake, I hit Command-Delete and user2 was GONE from the list AND NOT ONLY from the list in the Information window! Using Fast User Switching and going to user2, nothing left on the Desktop and NO Home anymore.
In the System Preferences/Accounts panel, user2 was still mentionned.
In the Users folder, no user2 folder anymore.
Using once again Fast User Switching, I logged as user2 and got by magic an all new Home. Nothing left in Documents, Library or other user1 folders. Standard settings for icons, dock, etc.
My first move has been to use a very recent backup to restore everything (Thank you Mike Bombich from Copy Cloner!).
Once everything was back to normal, I had a look at the Trash from user1 and guess what, the Home folder of user2 was there, complete.
So now I am left with two questions
why is it I do not have the same dialogs when connecting from all the accounts although as far as I can see, configurations are the same?
why is it possible, from an Information pannel to delete the account of another user?
Thank you all for comments!

10.8 Server file sharing problem

We have a new Mac mini with 10.8 and OS X Server app. The mini has direct attached storage and will be used mainly for File Sharing. There is a repeatable problem/bug with case sensitive folder names and file sharing. For example a folder named "Editorial" is inacessible via "Connect to Server" from a client on the LAN. The same folder with the same permissions, same everthing, except it is named "editorial" works perfectly. Change the uppercase E to a lowercase e and it works. The drive is formatted with normal HFS+. It is Not HFS+ case-sensitive. I have Xserves running 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 for file sharing and none have this problem.
Has anyone else experieced this? Is there a fix? Other than making everything lowercase.

Simon Slavin United Kingdom
If you have a problem please start a thread of your own. Don't get us confused between solving two different problems.
Simon,
The subject of this thread is dealing with:
"Server 10.8 file sharing problem"
Specifically for direct attached storage file sharing permissions issue.
Client computers having issues with folder permissions
These are exactly my issues as well. I was hoping to try a solution here or maybe proffer a solution if found elsewhere. I did not realize each problem should be opened as a separate discussion....

Device screen not turning off + Media Player Problems

My screen does not turn off, I checked the settings in screen/keyboard and they are set but don't seem to work. This is causing my battery to drain.
Also, I am having intermittent media player problems.
Suggestions?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
Good luck and let us know!

Strange isolated playlist sharing problem

Okay, here's a strange library sharing problem to solve.
First, some basic info on my home network:
Computer #1: PC running Windows XP. Wired network connection.
Computer #2: PC running Windows XP. Wireless network connection.
Computer #3: iMac running OS X. Wireless network connection.
All computers are running the most recent version of iTunes and have previously been able to share iTunes libraries without any issues. Library sharing is turned on on all computers, as is the "look for shared libraries" setting.
Here's the problem:
When I first open iTunes on computer #2 I see the shared libraries from both of the other computers. However, about ten seconds later (or if I click on the library listing) the library from computer #1 disappears.
What's strange is that I can still access the library on computer #3 just fine from computer #2. Conversely, when I'm on either computer #1 or #3 I can view and listen to the libraries from either of the other two computers with no problems.
Bottom line, I can't access computer #1's library from computer #2 - though I can see its listing briefly when I first run iTunes on computer #2. It would seem to make more sense if I couldn't see the library listing at all, or if I couldn't access the library from the third computer. However, this isolated and somewhat intermittent inability to access computer #1's library from computer #3 seems strange - particularly given that I can access computer #3's library from computer #1.
Isn't technology grand???
Thanks in advance for your help!

Syncing the normal playlist was just to make sure your iPod had all the correct songs on it. My thought was that if the smart playlist rules were being synced rather than the music itself, then the smart playlist would populate correctly when it had access to the correct songs.
Since that doesn't seem to be the case, I guess Chris CA is right and you will just have to wait for Apple to release an iTunes update that fixes this bug.
Until then, I've given you a relatively easy work-around, so hopefully that can tide you over.
Cheers.
