MY PC WONT SHOW UP IN FINDER AFTER OS UPGRADE.

I have a PC running Windows Vista Home Edition sharing several folders. I used to be able to see this computer in my Finder window on my Mac. I can see and access my Mac from my PC, but I can no longer see and access my PC from my Mac. I am running OSX version 10.5.8. I recently upgraded to that version, and it seems like ever since I upgraded, I can't see my PC in Finder anymore.
Does anyone have a simple fix for this problem to get my PC to show up in Finder once again?

Hi again Henry,
Have you added a User to the PC yet & set Sharing for the Folders you want to share?

  • External Hard drive wont show up in Finder

    Hi,
    After Mountain Update, the external hard drive icon wont show up in Finder sidebar, Desktop and in Disk Utility.
    Is there anything which needs to be set in System Preference ??
    I have the External Hard Disk checkbox checked in Finder Preference, inspite of this I cannot see the Hard drive icon
    Please help.

    You can try looking in Finder Prefereneces. 
      Go to the Finder Menu > Prefeences
      Look at the sidebar pane.  Make sure the Devices box is checked.
    Go back to your finder window and make sure that Devices are not hidden.  To the right of the Devices work there is a dimly visible show/hide command that is visible only when you have your cursor next to the Devices word.  
    You can also try unpluggin the drive and unplugging its USB cord then plugging it all back in to try again.

    When i click on 'Show all in Finder' after searching for anything on spotlight, NOTHING happens! NO Finder window opens up and the spotlight dropdown menu just shuts! Please help!

    I'm having the same problem in other places as well, for example when i downloaded Easyfind right now, clicking the small magnifying glass button on the right of the file name (shown below) would usually open up finder highlighting the file, but now nothing happens when i click on that button!
    Is there a solution for this, as this was a very useful feature which i used ALL the time?

  • Ipod wont show up in itunes after i restore to factory settings

    My ipod does not show up in my itunes list but it shows up in my computer as a drive
    it all started when i got my ipod back after getting it fixed ( it was a problem with the battery) well it said that i needed to restore the factory settings so i did then a message came up and said your ipod is now restarting it will come back to your iptunes list after it has restarted.... but it didnt
    and now when i plug my ipod in i get a bubble come up that says:
    "windows was unable to save all the data for the file F:\iPod_control the data has been lost the error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or netowrk connection please try and save this file elsewhere"
    i have done everything i can to try and fix this (5 R's and such) but i have gotten no results
    please help quickly as i use my ipod all the time and cant function without it =]

    I have a similar issue.
    Mine shows in iTunes and in PC. It will also allow me to sync.
    But when I do sync, it runs fine for about 10 minutes, then I get an error similar to yours with a directory location. It keeps syncing and will periodically show the errors. Then it will lock up.
    I have run chkdsk, awindows utility (chkdsk [driver letter]: /R /F) over the iPod when it has been restored and it found nearly 400mb of bad sectors.
    I though this would fix the problem but is has not. When I run chkdsk over it again, it does not find anymore bad sectors (it does however tell me that it has 400mb of bad sectors logged.)
    I am banging my head against a wall trying to fix this, or even find out what the issue really is. I assume it is a dodgey hard drive, but I do not want to replace it and still have the problem.

  • IPhone wont show up in itunes after upgrading to leopard and iLife 08

    Hello:
    For some reason, my iphone does not show up on my itunes after upgrading my mac to leopard and ilife 08. The phone was syncing properly before the upgrade. I also installed all the patches that were available for downloading but I did not try syncing between the main update and patches. I am running itunes 7.6 and had been running 7.5.1 before that. My iphone is on firmware 1.1.2 and I have it set to manually sync. My ipod video is syncing fine but I had that set to automatic syncing.
    I checked the system profile and the usb is showing the iphone just fine.
    Can anybody help?

    Yup. It does work, had the exact same problem, iPhone showed in system profiler under USB, and iTunes would not recognize, reinstall fixed it all. It almost looks like a permission problem after the reinstall to where some .plist files got wrong settings set, repairing permissions might work too.

    It was late at night so i just switched off my laptop and went to bed, and the next morning i tried to turn on my ipod and it was stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I plug it in it comes up with a box saying "Windows needs to install device driver software for your Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" I clicked the locate and install device driver software, but it can't find anything.
    It wont come up in itunes and i've tried the restoring thing, but it's not working...maybe i'm doing it wrong? idk help anyone?

  • Smart playlist not showing up on iPhone after iTunes upgrade to 9.1

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 and notice that one of my smart playlists is not longer showing up in my list of playlists. The music is all in there, and the playlist is also listed when I plug my iPhone into my macbook (under Devices). It's just not listed on the iphone itself, so I can't play those songs. What's going on? Has anyone ever seen this before?

    It's not as simple as that. I hope Apple fixes this ASAP. I have only 7 playlists I use. I use so few because they are all smart and update automatically. Equally, this problem appeared to pop up just recently, so I don't know what triggered it. I even went so far as to assume that my library was corrupted. Since nothing I tried worked, I tried deleting my library. Headaches!!! I recovered my music, but all my ringtones were gone. So were all the apps that synced to my iPhone (my music goes on my iPod, my apps and data to my iPhone). The apps on the iPhone recovered back to my iTunes library, but ONLY the apps on my iPhone. I had some apps I had paid for that I did not currently use. I guess they are gone. Even after all that, the smart playlist problem persists.
    Aaaaanyway, my experience was a little different. Even though I haven't reproduced the behaviour exactly, it is my impression that the last smart playlist modified is the one that doesn't show up on the iPod. As a thought experiment, created a new playlist called Test and duplicated one of my seven playlists. I synced, and the 7th playlist now shows up on my iPod! The 8th one, called Test, only shows on iTunes, but not on my iPod. Since all 7 playlists are now displaying on my iPod, I will leave things alone until Apple fixes this latest unanticpated design characteristic.

  • Can't change names of files in Finder after Leopard upgrade

    OK, I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I haven't found this precise situation looking around. Hopefully someone can point me to exactly the right utility.
    I had Tiger, then upgraded to Leopard, then had some of the problems reported elsewhere on this board (iCal that wouldn't index; etc.). I decided to do an Archive and Install of Leopard, and that basically went fine. Now I have an iCal that will index (although it still fails to automatically delete items older than a certain age, but I can work around that)... and the daunting task of reinstalling everything.
    I can handle that, but... this has me stumped. From my Previous System folder I rescued a bunch of Keynote documents which I need to work on, and of course many other files. I frequently get Permissions problems, and I thought I knew what to do: add my new Admin account as a user, select it as the new Owner in the popup, then apply to all enclosed items in the folder. This does indeed work OK in many cases...
    But now I have a simple Keynote document which I COPIED (didn't even move!) out of its location deep inside the Previous Systems folder, and now it won't let me rename it in the Finder. It says I own it! Why not?
    I have run Disk Utility and Repaired Permissions. It found about 30 things to repair, none of which seem to involve my Keynote; and indeed the Keynote is still un-rename-able.
    Help!
    One final point, probably unimportant, but I should mention it. I did NOT intend to do this, but my fingers slipped and my new admin account has the same name as the previous owner of everything. Is this likely to cause massive confusion? If so, what do I do... make a new, carefully named admin account and change everything over to it?
    Thanks, everyone!

    Well, it wasn't an easy fix. I guess that's why no one responded.
    I had to backup, zap my hard drive, and install a fresh copy of Leopard. No archive and install for me this time!!
    Even then I had permissions issues after restoring files from a backup. (I didn't want to use Migration Assistant, because I presumed it would transfer some corrupt index files.) I searched around these forums and finally found an Apple page that gave 2 Terminal commands to fix a Finder bombing problem. That wasn't my problem, but it was permissions-related, and it fixed almost all the problems.
    Now I know that the solution for those pesky remaining ones is to create a new folder in my home directory, copy the offending files into it, Get Info on the enclosing folder, unlock it using my Admin password, tell it to copy the folder's permissions to the contents, then check to see if the offending permissions have vanished. If so, trash the originals (that password will be needed again!) and transfer the clean ones back to their original locations.
    Sigh. Apple, why did you change all those Permissions things in Leopard without providing a fix for this kind of stuff??
