NAS drives grayed out and can't connect to other Macs

Hello All,
After upgrading my 15-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro to Mavericks (10.9 13A603) my NAS storage drives are grayed out in Finder. I can't go directly to my NAS drive in Finder. I can't simply click on the NAS drives in Finder and see what is in the directory. The directories are grayed out!.
In order for me to connect to my NAS stotage drive I have to go to "DEVICES" on the leftside of the Finder window and then click on the MacBook Pro HD. From there I have to click on "Network." From "Network" I can get a slow connection to my NAS.
As for as connection to other Macs in my office, I have to take the same steps above. I can't connect directly to the other Macs in my office in Finder. Nether can the other Macs connect to other Macs! All Macs in the office are set up to allow both AFP and SMB. However, one lonely 2009 iMac in our office is still on Mountian Lion and it can connect to other Macs and the our NAS without problems.
One strange things this, I can do a Screen Share to the other Macs from my 2010 MacBook Pro! I can't connect directly in Finder, but I can do a Screen Share. Strange!
Is there a fix for this or was Marverick let out the jungle to earily?
Help! and Thanks!

I forgot to add that everything was previously connected via an Airport express wireless system. I just got an Airport Extreme system which hasn't changed things a bit.

All menus gone, restore is grayed out and can't activate - HELP!

I am unable to restore any menus whatsoever. No address bar, no bookmarks bar, nothing.
I tried right clicking in top bar to restore, but the Restore option is grayed out and does nothing when I click it.
I've deleted and reinstalled Safari three times, but each time it comes back without menus.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?
Thanks -
Cyndy

What do you suggest do rectify the Owner account version of Safari? I forgot to mention that it was my fault that the menu bars disappeared in the first place - basically I clicked on Hide Menu Bar, Hide Toolbar etc!
Not your fault, Julian ... if the wee coggy thing is gone, you can't get them back, and you couldn't be expected to have anticipated that.
Okay. I've installed Safari 4.0.4 on the wife's Vista laptop, and therefore may have less than three hours to live. So I'd better tell you this now ...
*Experimentation suggests the following technique is the one we should try on Vista with Julian*
Log back in to your usual account. Quit Safari if you have it open. Just to be on the safe side, make sure iTunes and/or QuickTime are closed too.
First go "Start > Computer". While you're in "Computer", go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View" tab. Make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected. Click OK.
Open your C drive. Open "Users". Open the folder that has the username of your account. Open "AppData". Open "Roaming". Open "Apple Computer". Open "Preferences".
Find the "com.apple.safari" file. Drag it out onto your Desktop.
Now launch Safari. (This will rebuild the com.apple.safari file.)
Do you have the wee coggy thing back?

Function is grayed-out and can't be controlled when I try to create a mouseover

I am working on a very simple animation where I have an image that is supposed to have a mouseover effect. When I click on Open Action everything is fine and the same is true for when I choose mouseover.
However, when I try to insert a "play" or "play form" action the code comes in grayed-out and I can't edit them (add a label for instance).
Please explain to me why this is happening. I was able to do this earlier today on another document, but I can't do it again and I am wracking my brains out.
Attached image so it might help you.

Hi Amit,
Have you selected the symbol you want to apply the snippet to? That's in the Pick a Target section on the right. From there, you could click the Stage, or on another symbol to select it.
Then press the Enter key and the snippet should be applied in the code field.

Agents grayed out and can't add or remove - UCCX 7.0

I upgraded an IPCC Standard implementation from 4.0(5) to 7.0(1) SR5 UCCX using the DMT tool. The upgraded UCCX works fine but I have one issue. In Tools > Users the agents are all grayed out and agents can't be added or removed. The customer originally had IPCC standard on the old version which resulted in the loss of CAD on the 7.x version. After the upgrade the customer obtained a temporary enhanced license so that they could use CAD rather than the IP phone agent and they will eventually add a permanent enhanced license. Even before the enhanced license was added, the agents were grayed out in the user menu and no one could be added or removed. Does anybody know what could be causing this and how to resolve it?

Yeah, after I posted the question I started thinking that maybe when you add the users IPCC extension in the CUCM user menu it would add it here so I was reading the admin guide for 7.x UCCX and I found that is the case. The customer that I just upgraded states that he could remove agents in the user management window on his old 4.x IPCC. I can't remember if that was the case or not. Thanks for the response!

Can't connect to other Macs from MBP

I have a 2.4 SR MBP that I cannot connect to other macs in our house including an 2.0 MBP and a Mac Pro. I can see them in the shared computers but they won't connect. I have all of the computers set up the exact same way on sharing. I'm even setting it up now that all users can connect. Any thoughts?

I forgot to add that everything was previously connected via an Airport express wireless system. I just got an Airport Extreme system which hasn't changed things a bit.

Can not connect to other macs on the network.

Hi,
I am having an issue with a G5 Tower running 10.5.8 failing to connect to other macs on the network. I try to connect to our xserver and any other mac I get an error message that reads ‘EMSG_CONNECTION_FAILED’.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance,
pvteyes99

Turns out the 'node' on the hub had failed completely, ethernet cable was OK.

Airport Extreme dropping out and can't connect PC anymore

Hello
Suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, my internet connection dropped in the middle of surfing. I couldn't reconnect, Airport was only seeing the base station spasmodically and when I did try to connect I was being asked for a password which wasn't recognised. Hours later I called the support line and was advised to do a hard reset which I did, new name, same password. Now I'm reconnected most of the time, but it has dropped out a few times and the signal seems generally weaker. Something's not right.
I had not at that point done the July 1st update so it's not to do with that. I haven't a clue why it suddenly started playing up so strangely. (Though I have noticed a new unsecured wireless network in range and wondered if someone was 'hacking')
My main problem is that my business partner, who connects through a pc here (who remained connected incidentally when I first lost the connection) and continued to be able to connect until I did the hard reset. Now I can't connect that pc to the airport extreme. It sees it but gives an error message saying it's out of range and refresh the list when I try to connect. I fiddled about for hours. I've forgotten how the pc was set up in the first place and I'm going nuts. Can anyone help.
Thanks
Helen

Disappointed not to see any help on this one.
If it helps anyone out there to help me, I just uploaded the Airport Utility Software to the pc, typed in base station ID and password. Error message, check network connections. No help.
Try to connect the pc again the usual way from the list of available networks, it asks for password, I use it, then it says it needs to be 5 or 10 ASCII characters or 20 hexadecimal.
What I don't understand is that everything was working fine on both machines until two weeks ago when my base station went into spasm, dropped me but happy with pc, when I did the hard reset, keeps me, won't allow pc to connect.
I just don't know what to do now. Of course I suppose I could always make a call and pay £35 to have an apple technician tell me why their hardware suddenly screwed up for no apparent reason.
Seriously frustrated
Anyone?

Extensions grayed out and can't access plug-ins

I've used the water mark plug-in before and it worked just fine but now when I go to window>extensions, the "extensions" are grayed out.
Macbook pro 17" with OS X 10.6.4.
Photoshop 12.01, mode RGB, 8-bit/channel.
Watermark 2.0.6. (2.0.5 didn't show up so I loaded the newer version before I noticed extension were grayed out)
The plug-ins are listed under "about plug-ins"
I use Font Agent Pro4.140 and installed the plug-in for Photoshop.
Extensions manager shows Watermar installed.
There is no Extensions Manager under "Help" in Photoshop.
I have no idea what to do to get to my plug-ins.

It took me all day to fix this problem but right now the extensions are visible again.
Deleting Photoshop preferences didn't fix it.
Uninstalling Photoshop and then re-installing didn't work.
So I uninstalled the complete CS5 suite and hope that I got rid of everything before reinstalling the whole suite. I applied updates, installed plug-ins and it now works. What a pain. I am not very happy. I've never had to do this before and I would really like to know what turned the extension off so I don't have to go through this again. Now I am ready to personalize my short cut keys, etc.

Purchased song grayed out and can not delete

I purchase a song and received a permission error. I clicked OK and assumed the download completed. I then purchase another song. There was no error message. Both songs appear in my Music and Purchase folders but the first song is grayed out with an exclamation mark in the first column. I tried to download it again and received a warning message saying I had already downloaded it and a second download would result in a duplicate. I tried to delete the grayed out download and could not.

No available downloads under Store>Check for Available Downloads, but I found a "Download" folder under the "Store" folder. Clicked on that and selected resume and the download completed. The Downloaded folder the disappeared. All is well.

Can't Connect to Other Mac

I have 2 macs in my house... a mac mini (pre intel) and a macbook... I've always had them networked so I could access files on either computer.. all of a sudden, I can't connect to the mini... all the settings are the same in the sharing folder... but I can't connect to the mini.. it can connect to me fine, but when i type the name and password I get this message "Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please type the name and password or contact the servers administrator."
But i'm doing everything right.. i type in the name of the mac which is Jennfier Burke, and i type the password.. but i keep getting that message?? whats up??

Well, what was it?

Extreme internet lag and inability to connect to other macs in network..

Hi,
My network is as follows:
Linksys AM300 half-bridge mode to Apple Airport Extreme (latest edition) routing to:
-1 Mac Pro (2008) via ethernet
-1 iMac (2008) via wireless-n
-1 Mac Mini (2003) via wireless
-1 windows xp laptop via wireless
-1 MacBook Air via wireless-n
The distance from Mac Pro to the Airport is relatively far but the signal is good and internet exhibits no lag whatsoever.
The MacBook Air is in the same room as the Mac Pro. Since the distance to the Airport only gives a mediocre internet connection I use my Mac Pro's internet sharing to enable its airport as an access point with WEP encryption then connect my MBA to the Mac Pro.
Until a couple of months ago everything was fine but now I suddenly cannot connect to the screensharing or filesharing services of the Mac Pro and the internet connection has become ridiculously slow. I experience a roughly 20 second lag upon EVERY request to any site (google.com for example) and using the terminal i pinged google which yielded an average ~300ms response.
My browser is a Firefox 3.0.6 btw, this is also the browser on the iMac and Mac Pro.
While the lag is annoying even more so is the fact that I cannot use the MBA to 'remote control' the screen of my Mac Pro. The Mac Pro has not had its settings or software changed between working and not responding.
Connecting to the Mac Pro from the MBA via the regular Finder -> Network dialog shows the Mac Pro but then responds with a basic "Connection Failed" message. The same happens when trying to connect to the Mac Pro from the iMac or Mac Mini. I haven't tried the windows laptop so far.
All other computers in the network (other than the MBA) have 'normal' fast internet speeds and no lag.
The lag is also present when sitting next to the Airport Extreme circumventing the internet sharing of the Mac Pro.
I have no clue what is going on and suggestion and help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much for reading.
M.

The first thing to do in this sort of situation is to use Network Utility to ping to/from the server and clients to see if they can reach each other. Network Utility will also tell you what IP address the Mac you are running it on has. If you are using a 192.168.x.x style address range as per your message then they should all be in the same block e.g. 192.168.1.x where x is unique per computer.
The next thing may be to look at your DNS settings. You don't say what services you plan to use on the Mac OS X Server, but if your going to use Network Login Accounts and Network Home Directories then having your Mac OS X Server as the (working) DNS server will be very important. This would involve normally telling the DHCP server to advertise the Mac OS X Server as being your internal DNS Server.

Keynote app grayed out and can't be opened

After updating the app, the installed app does not open up now.
The only way to open it, is to go to the App Store and open it. It was an installed app and I can't even delete it now. What surprised me is that it was a free app and now it charges an amount. This is disappointing from Apple.
Yours Disappointingly,
