My PC is no longer visible by my mac

my PC is no longer visible by my mac on the home network i created sometime ago. I did change some power settings on my PC but I do not see how this would effect network connection.
It shows that my PC is online, also my Mac is as well. How ever my Mac prompts that it can not find it.

Nope. That's the solution for iPods that appear on the Finder, but not in iTunes. I hope I get some other suggestions, but in the mean time I'm looking into restoring my iPod and buying a firewire cable from Apple, since the website says to use the one that came with the iPod (which I lost).
(EDIT) Nevermind... seems I can't restore or update if the iPod isn't recognized.

Shared external hard no longer visible to other mac running 10.4

Running 10.4 on iMac G5 and connecting to mac mini running 10.6. The mac mini has a firewire connected drive that I used to mount from my iMac. Suddenly, as of a few days ago, I can no longer mount the volume. When I double click my short-cut, it prompts me for my ID & password, and then tell me "Mount failed - Could not mount volume “drive-name.”
From a Finder window I click on Network and see my mac mini listed but when I click to connect and enter my credentials (administrator on both machines) I see the mount points on the internal hard drive but external drive is no longer listed. I've tried repairing permissions on both Mac's but still not working. Any suggestions?
I found a similar post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/10136761?messageID=10136761) but it never listed a solution. Please help!
PS - I can still access the shared external drive from a Macbook Pro running 10.6.

Well BDAqua,
I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that your suggestions seemed on the right track buy neither worked. On the Mac Mini, /volumes only contained two items, one for my internal hard drive and one for the external hard drive. The iMac showed only its internal drive. there were no duplicate entries with numbers appended to the names. I looked under my home directory/Library/Favorites and deleted everything in there (for both Macs). Rebooted both machines and still could not see the external drive.
The good new is that it's working now! I don't quite understand why, but here is what I did. On the iMac OS X 10.4) I opened a Finder window, looked under Networks, and saw four items listed; Library, Mac mini, Mac-Mini, and Servers. I had two entries for my Mac Mini. The first entry (Mac mini) was correct. When I tried connecting to Mac-Mini, it came up as a SMB/CIFS connection showing WORKGROUP and my ID. When I entered my password, I got the message ... The alias "Mac-Mini" could not be opened because the original item could not be found. It then offered me the choices to fix or delete. When I tried to delete, I got ... The operation could not be completed because you do not have sufficient privilages for "Mac-Mini". Hmmm.
I then enable my root account on the iMac, logged into it, and tried the same operation. This time it allowed me to delete the bogus entry for Mac-Mini. Then I then connected to the Mac mini and, lo and behold, my external drive was back! I logged into my other accounts and they all still have the bogus Mac-Mini entry but the shortcuts to the external drive are working.
I gave this long winded explanation hoping that you or someone else might UNDERSTAND what happened. I would also like to figure out how to delete the bogus Mac-Mini entries in the other accounts. Thanks for all your help!

Airport Express network suddenly no longer visible -for one Mac..but wait

Hi everyone
Setup isDSL modem>ethernet>"downstairs" AX...."upstairs" AX connects fine to it as a WDS remote station with 128-bit hex password....
The two ibooks, one G3 one G4 connect fine, and so did the PowerMac g4 desktop that was formerly the software base station (range was too short, so got the AX's). The desktop suddenly stopped seeing the network. Then, it came back on, for about an hour and the internet connect infor showed it being connected for the 60 hours elapsed since that seeming disappearance. Then it went away... 60 hours later, up it popped again, again for an hour, and I downloaded pics from AOL, browsed etc. Come back to find it gone again and has not returned.
Problem is either software/configuration based or intermittent hardware -- how can I find out without replacing the part? (The solution to the very similar problem posted a few days ago had to do with a channel switch... my WDS system base stations are on channel 6 (their choice, I guess).. does not seem to apply.
Does anyone think the Security Update 2006-005 would help, and how would I get it to my non networked desktop?
Thanks for help!

Well, from reading some other posts, and trying my own experimenting, I have gotten it to work.
Deleting the keychain did nothing, manually connecting to the network by typing the name in etc.. nothing.
What DID work was using my G3 iBook (which could see the network) to use the Airport Administrator to change the channel from Automatic to manual - in this case channel 7 (a completely arbitrary choice).
The thing I cannot work out is why it had this issue in the first place. It worked fine for months then one day decided that it apparently didn't like automatic channel selection.
The problem is solved but the cause is still a mystery.
Hopefully though, this might help others with the same problem.

Web Site/Web Galleries no longer visible.

Hi - hoping some knowledgeable folks can help me out here.
I have been publishing my website via my personal domain/.mac sucessfully for over a week now.
As of yesterday morning I can no longer access the website.
In addition to this I cannot view any of my web galleries.
I am using the web gallery link from within iPhoto so its not a typing error with the url.
The last update to the website was adding the comments option to my blog and my connection dropped midway through the .mac update.
I re-published the entire site and now it is not visible even using the "visit published site now" button from within iWeb.
I am using the latest version of iWeb and various browsers on differing machines all latest versions.
Any ideas would be greatfully received.
Thanks!
Simon

IPod Classic no longer visible in iTunes after upgrade tp Yosemite.

I have just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest iTunes. But my iPod Classic is no longer visible in iTunes. It is on the desk top and I can drag files to it, but is there a way of restoring it to iTunes?

Hello Matto Grosso,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with devices not being recognized in iTunes. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:

Seven of my albums from iPhoto 9.5.1 are no longer visible. The photos are still in iPhoto - is there a way to get the metadata back?

Seven of my albums from iPhoto 9.5.1 are no longer visible. The photos are still visible in iPhoto, but the albums are completely gone (another 10 albums are still visible). The missing albums are visible in iPhoto Library Manager (I downloaded the free version and when it loaded the library the missing albums were visible)
About 6 months ago 4 different albums disappeared and I assumed my kids had accidentally deleted them; however, they haven't been allowed to touch the computer since then, so I can't blame them this time! Last time I lost albums I spent hours re-creating them but I am hoping that there is an easier way of getting the metadata to function again - I know I could create a new library with iphoto Library Manager but I would have to buy the full version and can't afford to do that.
Not sure if it has anything to do with updating the application? (I updated recently and I'm not sure exactly when the albums disappeared.

Use the rebuild function in iPhoto Library Manager. That does not require a purchase. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

My blue task/status bar at the bottom of the page is no longer visible. How do I turn that back on? The status bar feature under view does display it.

For some reason the blue status/task bar that would normally display at the bottom of the webpage (shows time, etc.) is no longer visible. I do not know how it got turned off and going to view-status bar simply enables a gray bar to display that says "done". I have searched using terms like "display task bar", etc and nothing comes up but view- status bar.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== May 5th

That is the Windows Taskbar and not part of Firefox.
The Firefox Status Bar shows messages like Looking up and Waiting for and loading and Done.
If you do not see that Taskbar with Firefox closed then you may have hidden it.
Try to move the mouse at the bottom and see if you can pull it up with the left mouse button pressed.
If the Taskbar disappear if you open Firefox the check the Properties of the Taskbar to make sure that it is always visible.

IPod mini no longer visible on Mac or in iTunes

My daughter's pink iPod mini is no longer visible on her iTunes, or on our Mac. My son has been to the web site, has followed all steps to reload software, restore iPod, he's been quite methodical. We have OSX 10.3.4, iPod software has been updated, and we haven't changed computer wiring configurations. Using this same computer and the same iPod cable, my son's iPod mini is visible on iTunes and on the Mac. Can anyone please offer advice on what we should try next?

Had the same problem try restarting your ipod mini.
be sure to update your ipod software

My iPhone 5 is no longer visible to my PC via Windows Explorer

My iPhone 5 (running iOS 8.02) is no longer visible to my PC (running Windows 7) via Windows Explorer. In the past, I have been able to see the phone listed as a Device in Windows Explorer when connected via USB cable, and could navigate to the DCIM folder to see and copy photos just like any other hard driver.
Since installing iOS 8.02, the phone no longer appears in Windows Explorer.
If this is no longer possible, how can I transfer photos from iPhone to PC? I have tried clicking around in iTunes, but can't find any relevant functionality there, either - am I missing something?

You're welcome. There are many blurred lines with respect to iOS 8 photo management -- i.e. is the photo actually on the device, or only in iCloud? If it is in iCloud only, and you put it into an album on the iPhone, does it get downloaded to the device and is it still full resolution?
Part of the problem may be that there are still some unfinished things with respect to photos. The "iCloud Photo Library" feature seen in pre-iOS 8 release is still in beta form, so whenever that gets full release there could be some sense in all this. There's also the pending replacement of iPhoto and Aperture on the Mac platform, slated to be replaced by a new "Photo" app, so that may play into the big picture on photo management.
But for the time being, I don't feel that the changes to photo management in iOS 8/ iCloud have been for the better. I can only hope that we get a more elegant photo management process with these pending changes.

Hi,
did you install the Apple's PodCast app? as soon as you install the PodCast app, it is remove from the iTunes apps. if you want your podcast back in iTunes, delete the PodCast app from your iPod.

Please could you advise? ... After installing Itunes 11.3.1.2 on my Laptop and when reconnecting my iPad2 via USB, it is no longer visible under 'My Computer'. Any advice on resolving this issue would be most welcome. Thanks

Any one or a combo may help
Give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
Try a different USB cord
Try a different USB port
Try rebooting your computer
Try closing/opening iTunes.
If you go through that and it doesn't work, try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again

After installing mavericks time machine no longer visible in finder. how can I get back to see it?

ITunes 10: Playlist titles remain but content no longer visible.

After upgrading,my playlist titles still appear as usual in the left column, but the playlist itself is no longer visible. What happened?? I hope I haven't lost them after all the work that went into creating them. Restoring a previous library configuration will lost the many changes I've made since the upgrade. Other solutions or explanations?

Playlist data is stored in the iTunes Library.itl file. That's what needs to be restored from backup.
The first trouble shooting step here is to turn off iTunes Match in iTunes. See what happens to the contents of the playlists. If it is not restored, you'll need to restore the iTunes Library.itl file from the backup from a time when the playlists had the correct content. Once this is done, make another backup then enable iTunes Match again and let it scan the library.

My search bar for my library no longer works. Also, the menu bar is no longer visible. Noticed this problem last Saturday. Can anyone help me with this?

My search bar for my iTunes library no longer works. Also, the menu bar is no longer visible. Noticed this problem last Saturday. This might be an issue with my desktop, and not iTunes itself Can anyone help me with this?

Press Ctrl-B to toggle the menu bar on and off.
When you say that the "search bar for my iTunes library no longer works" can you be more specific? The operation of the search function has changed in iTunes 12, essentially having two very distinct modes:
when Search Entire Library is checked, entering a search string will generate a dropdown of all matching items within your whole library, from which multiple operations are available via context menus
when Search Entire Library is unchecked, entering a search string creates a filtered view of whatever your current focus is (e.g., if you're looking at a playlist the filter applies only to items in that playlist) with none of the dropdown options as in the first case
