Network not appearing

I am running OS X server, and after moving the machine to a different place in the studio it no longer sees my local network. If I go to the network pane in the finder, I see Library, My Network, Servers, and Workgroups. Not one of my other macs appears, and I do not have Windows machines on my network.
The server does get an internet connection through my LAN, and is actually serving mail and webpages. I can also check mail and use the web. The machine can also be seen in the other Macs, but they can not connect. I can however command K to other macs from the server by IP.
I have tried ditching different prefs suggested here, but have gotten nowhere. Any help getting my file sharing back would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not exactly sure what's happened, but in 10.4.9 configd was apparently put under the control of launchd. Launchd unloads libraries and won't load them again until there's a demand, and apparently those Bonjour events don't kick up a demand.
Okay, that probably sounds like a lot of geekspeak. What it means in practical terms is that you need to go to all your machines, turn of Personal File Sharing, wait a second, and turn it back on. That should do the trick.
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what went wrong, but this should do as a workaround.

FW Drives Mounted on Network not Appearing

Hello all:
I have a MacPro with 4 FW drives connected to it via FW 800. My macmini, downstairs (used as a home theater PC) usually connects to those drives in order to stream movies, audio etc (connects via Gigabit Ethernet). Now, since the most recent 10.5.2 update, only 2 of the drives appears. They are daisy chained FW800, all have their own power supply and are all mounted and visible in the MacPro.
It is only when I am on the macmini, when I click on the MPro under Shared in Finder, that some of the FW drives appear and some don't. One of the drives that is visible on the mini is a LaCie Bigger Disk 2TB. The other that does NOT appear is also a LaCie 2TB drive. I also have a smaller LaCie drive that is not visible (mounted via FW400 on a separate bus).
Another point to mention, if I click on an alias to the drive, it tells me: The volume "DRIVE A" could not be mounted. Obviously it works fine on the MP, so this is unusual.
Weird thing is, before the update, I was able to access all the drives on MP via sharing on the macmini via FrontRow and all my movies were available. Now half the library is inaccessible. Any thoughts anyone?

I am trying to set up Sharing amongst several computers on my home network. I have followed all the setup instructions but after completion Sharing does not appear in my iTunes window (on any of the computers I've set up). There is no explanation why.

I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked. However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer). There is no explanation as to why not. Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what? Can it be fixed? I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail. What am I missing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

My Time Capsule's 5GHz network does not appear as a network any longer. Airport utility is 5.5.3 and iMAC is 10.7.1 The TC appears to be configured correctly in the utility screen.

My Time Capsule's, only the 5GHz network, does not appear as a network any longer. Airport utility is 5.5.3 and iMAC is 10.7.1 The TC appears to be configured correctly in the utility screen. This began sometime after upgrade to 10.7.1 however this does not explain why either of my iPAD's does not see the 5GHz network.

Wish some Apple folks would chime in...
Apple is not here. Even if they might rarely monitor these boards, they will not respond. We're all users, just like you.
Suggest that you open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Click the Wireless Options button
Check one more time to see if you still have the 5 GHz Name option enabled. If not, enter a check mark and click Update to save the new settings.
If 5 GHz is enabled, temporarily disable the setting and Update. Then go back in and enable the setting again.
If you still cannot "see" the network from any device, about all that you can do at this point is reset the Time Capsule back to factory defaults and try the configuration again to see if it will "take". Lion is causing some strange issues, and this may be another.
If this is not successful, then it's time to contact Apple support or arrange a visit to an Apple store to let them take a look

Ios6 - wifi log in does not appear for secured network

Hi,
I installed ios6 on my ipad2 last night.
Today - when I connect to a secure wifi network via settings, the log in screen does not appear, like it used to do automatically.
Is this an issues with the OS? Can anyone suggest a fix or a solution?
Thanks in advance

I still haven't resolved this. At present, the wifi is visible - but the log on screen does not pop-up, so I am unable to log on.
Anyone have any fixes/solutions?
Thanks

TS1398 My iphone 5 is does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and fails to reconnect automatically to it. My other iphone (4s) has no such problems. Any suggestions?

My iphone 5 does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and connect to it automatically. I have to reconnect manually each time. My other iphone (4s w/iOS6) has no such problems. Any suggestions?

It's not a bug in iOS 6, and it won't be fixed. It's usually caused by your phone having been paired to 2 different networks with the same SSID. So it needs to ask which one you meant. Occasionally be corrupt data in the network settings, which is why Allan suggested Forget This Network.

Network location appear this error:"file not found".

Hi guys, we change the location of files for ours user to network location, so when we try to open any illustrator file in network location appear this error:"file not found". this error only with network file! how can we solve this problem

cbessa,
External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/illustrator-support-networks-removable-media.html
If you transfer by external means it is always safest to zip/compress the file to avoid corruption.

In the networking window the Computer item does not appear

I have network sharing turned on but the Computer category does not appear in the networking window. Any ideas how to add this category to the network window in windows 8.1?????

Mfrakes,
It’s possible that you’re not seeing the computer category simply because there aren’t any computers to list.
Make sure that the computers you’re expecting to see are powered on and connected to your network.
Another thing to ensure is that network discovery is enabled.
In order to enable network discovery in Windows 8.1, start by right-clicking on the Network system icon in the taskbar notification area, then click on Open Network and Sharing Center.
Next, in the left pane of the Network and Sharing Center window, click on the Change advanced sharing settings link.
The next window that comes up will give you the option of turning network discovery on.
I hope this helps!

Network volumes not appearing in Time Machine

I have a netwok volume attached via Mac Mini server used for Time Machine. Recently I had a disk problem and have copied the TM backups to another drive. I have three Macs two running 10.6.8 and one running 10.5.8. Using TM on two machines (10.6.8 and 10.5.8) works fine, it connects properly and backs up, however on the third (also 10.6.8) the TM Preferences does not "see" any of the attached network volumes only the directly attached. The network volumes appear on the desktop and it is possible to read/write to the network volumes from Finder.
I have replaced the prefs file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist to no avail.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Mike

Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:

I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

HT3867 I am connected to the hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear.

Hi,
I am connected to my hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear. I am able to access the login page on my PC, but on the iPhone it does not appear and just tries to connect to the webpage (e.g. google.co.uk), and eventually gives up. I've tried opening pages in Safari and Chrome, but none cause the login screen to appear. I have also tried trying to log into the login page that the PC opens when connected to the wifi, but the same thing happens. I am using a iPhone 3G with the latest iOS version 6.0.1.
Is there a way to make the iPhone try to open the login page?
Ben.

I have the exact same problem as the original poster and I tried many times already the solution proposed by trstark66 and it's still not working. It's not working for both my iPad and iPhone 5. I'm using the latest iOS version available all the time. I have my iPad since 3 years and my iPhone since 1 years and I always had that problem. I'm an airline pilot so I'm always in hotels. I asked my colleagues who also have iPhones and iPads and they all have the same problems from time to time. And when I go in an apple store they all say that it's the first time they hear about that problem. I never have that problem with my PCs, my previous phone and my BB playbook. Only with my iPhone and iPad....since now 3 years...Always the same problem. I'm connected to the Hotel Network, I have an IP address but nothing popup to register with a user name, password or just to access the "I have read and accept the condition.../connect". And when I go in Safari or other Browsers, I am not redirected to a login page. All I have is a message saying cannot access the webpage because I'm not connected to Internet. I tried already hard resets, on/off Wi-Fi, automatic connexion off, forget this network, reset network setting...
My solution for now is to use my Boingo account. I connect to the hotel Network and then I use the Boingo app to connect to Internet.
But, sometimes it works the first time or suddenly for no reason.
Very funny, I was using Boingo on my ipad to write this message in my Hotel room because I was unable to use my free connection as usual. When I tried to press "Add Reply" it failed and I had the message "An error occured while trying to submit your post, please try again". The reason was that boingo was disconnected since I was taking too long to write this message. So I wasn't connected to Internet anymore. I opened a second tab in Safari and what did I see!... the login page to access the free connection from the hotel. This is crazy. Apple, you really suck with hotel/coffee hotspots... I tried for hours and nothing, now hours later I just open a new tab and it works. But tomorrow I know I will try the same and it will not work again. It shouldn't be that complicated.

TS1398 Forget this network does not appear. It only allows me to join a network.

The forget this network does not appear... Only gives me option to join network. I need to forget network. I hit the i button and it doesn't appear.

Odd...the only other thing I can suggest is to reboot the Wi-Fi network at work (if you can) and try again.
EDIT: Do you use something called Quickconnect client to setup a wireless connection? If so, this may help:
(via Google)
To remove the wireless profile from an iOS device:
Go to Settings > General > Profiles
Select the profile you wish to remove (eduroam or UI-Wireless-Setup, for example)
Select Remove
If asked, enter your device’s security PIN number
Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

Airport time capsule does not appear within wi-fi networks on my OSX neither on my IOS devices, even though the backup for my OSX is on progress. why it does not appear?

Airport time capsule does not appear within wi-fi networks on my OSX neither on my IOS devices, even though the backup for my OSX is on progress. why it does not appear?
Is it because the backup on progress?

Hmmm.. ok.. well you are kind of on your own.. purchasing from another country leads to problems.. especially as the TC itself is regional .. all the setup applies to the region it is sold in.
Make sure you are using ipv6 in the computers..
See
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
The 6.3 utility will not work without it.
Make sure all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Do a full reset and start over.
But there are no more controls.. you cannot set mode..
You can set wireless channels.. so do .. try different wireless names for the different bands.. and set fixed channels.. whatever your country allows, usually 2.4ghz you can use 1, 6, 11 but 13 maybe an option as well. 5ghz is much less clear and there are more variation. Just set to one channel and then another.
Set WPA2 Personal security with a 10-20 character password .. pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.

Is anyone else having trouble viewing the SEC network via Watch ESPN on a 2nd gen Apple TV? Software is up to date, but SEC network not showing up as a channel. Using Xfinity - and it appears on iPhone5 but not on iPad2 - both of which are current on IOS. Help!

the wifi router could also be blocking
and to really test if the windows firewall is the problem then try turning it off!
if that scare you too much then disable the internet modem / cable modem or the likes while you test
always remove more and more factors when troubleshooting sooner or later it will work and you can narrow down which factor did the job and work on that

Domain client not appear in network neighbourhood

Hi,
I have server 2012 DC.
Some Domain clients not appear in network neighbourhood.
Any suggestion.

Hi,
Are all of the existing machines Windows XP?
The computer is running Windows XP and the LLTD protocol is not installed. Before a computer running Windows XP can be detected and appear on the network, you need to install the LLTD protocol on that computer. For more information, please refer to Microsoft
website below.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120
The computer is running Windows XP and firewall settings are preventing Windows from detecting it. Check the firewall settings and make sure that file and printer sharing are enabled. If you are using Windows Firewall, see Understanding Windows Firewall
settings. If you are using another firewall, check the information that came with your firewall.
