Network shared folders appear as 'sharepoint'

Hello
I have 1 iMac and 2 windows 7 computers on my local small office network.
From the Mac I can see and access all shares on one PC, on the other, when I access via finder, the shared folders appear as 'sharepoint' and I cannot see any sub folders. I have checked settings on both PCs in the network centre and they seem identical.
Thanks if you can help. Regards

Hi, just an update...some of the problem is related to extensions. Some files have explicit extensions and others not. When I change the file extensions to an explicit extension (eg .pdf) then the file is fine.
However, there are no extensions on folders or folder aliases.
I've tried using chmod -x + file location/file name but that makes no difference to the alias, meaning that the Snow Leopard does not recognize the item as a short cut to another folder. Snow Leopard will only recognize the item as an alias if it's been created on a workstation running Snow Leopard OS. Very odd.

  • How do I watch Network Shared Folders in Organizer?

    I must be able to watch shared folders on a network share in organizer.
    Is there any way to be able to do this????
    I'm using Photoshop/Premiere Elements 12.
    Is this functionality present, or any easier, etc. if I upgrade to 13?
    For Example: One problem that comes up is, if you're able to bring up the network places, and choose the share you want, getting the error "The watch folder service returned an error: The user name or password is incorrect."
    I've investigated this before, spent some time, couldn't get this to work after some internet searching. I'm now re-visiting this trying to get it to work.
    Thanks!

    Here is the resource I find on the subject:
    Photoshop Elements 6/7/8 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    [Note, how this is a problem back with PE 6.. I had PE 6... quit using it because of this same EXACT problem. I'd think that Adobe would fix this problem by 6 (or 7) versions later?!]
    I tried changing the logon for the service the last time I worked on this and for some reason it didn't work. For whatever reason, I didn't get any errors this time.
    I think my problem is, "watching" a folder isn't doing what I would have expected it to do. I'm expecting to choose a watched folder and then it will automatically populate my entire library (and then automatically update that as I add/delete/change files/folders). But I choose the watched folder, click the 'auto-something' (can't remember what it says) option, and then... nothing...

  • So slow listing network shared folders and drives.

    Hi!!
    I'm reporting a very slow connection between my MacBook Pro 13" (snow leopard) and my MacPro 8 core (leopard). When I try to reach the macpro in finder (shared) passed 1 or 2 minutes until the system ask me user/pass, then show me the list of my shared folders and drives. Navigating through them is ok, ut when I return to the main list, SnowLeopard again waits 1 minutes or 2 to show. Before, the main list always remain there.
    Any help??

    Same sort of problem here. Screen Sharing also doesn't work.
    Pretty sure it's DNS, as if I temporarily remove my router from the equation (by, say, using a manual IP address instead of DHCP on the machines and leaving DNS blank) everything works and is instant - except of course for the internet. Put it back to DHCP (which uses the router for DNS) and it's slow again (and screen sharing doesn't work at all).
    However, OpenDNS hasn't helped (probably because it's a private address range?)
    The network is 192.168.0.0/24 with gateway and DNS server 192.168.0.1, which is a Draytek Vigor 2600G ADSL router.
    This has only happened recently, I guess Snow Leopard or one of its updates has forced reverse DNS lookups for everything.
    As I understand it, AFP is supposed to use Bonjour for hostnames ending in .local and bypass DNS altogether, but despite checking that they end in .local (an automatic thing) in System Preferences it doesn't seem to do this any more.
    Any way to turn off these reverse DNS lookups?

  • Accessing Network Shared Folders using Wifi from E...

    I have a few computers with shared folders in the network the E72 is connected to. How can I access these folders from my mobile phone ? 

    hi,
    i already tried using Process, Runtime........ using "net view command" and parsing its OutputStream for results. Its fine and working in windows. Using that makes my program dependent to Windows...
    The program detects what OS the JVM is running on. I could make an if-else statement and add another set of command for linux(samba scripts). But doing this make things complicated.
    Is there any other way to this, like a Standard way. Like using sockets and ports and using only java native API?
    thanks,

    On my computer shared drives and folders. But in the Nokia N8 no function to view them. I also can not see the shared  files and folders on phone from PC. For s^1 phones was a program SymNC It allows listen music and video directly on phone from computer. Copy, delete and move files and folders shared  on computer from the phone, and vice versa.
    Unfortunately SymNC not compatible with Nokia n8

    This function is primarily to Android, iOS and wp, but it is not available in symbian 

    Pages ’08 and Pages v5+ documents are special Package bundle file objects. When they reside on the Mac, they appear in Finder as ordinary files. When they reside on external storage, they will appear as directories. Pages ’09 documents also appear as regular files, but are in fact a compressed zip of a folder.
    Your Mac server is likely running an older version of OS X than Maverick, and does not understand the exclusive new Pages v5 document format, or its proper presentation to end users, as would Mavericks.
    Choices:
    Export all Pages v5 documents to Pages ’09 v4.3 document format.Resume use /Applications/iWork ’09/Pages
    Before saving Pages v5 documents to server, compress them first.
    Right-click on the .pages document on your machine, then select Compress menu item.
    Creates foo.pages.zip which appears on remote server as this name
    Upgrade OS X Server to Mavericks Server
    Despite its progressive version number, Pages v5+ lacks substantial functionality from its Pages ’09 v4.3 antecedent, including an entire incompatible document format with other versions of Pages. You should consider it early beta software, and not a viable production release (as Apple marketing would have you believe).

  • Can't see my network shared folders(on PCs)

    I have a home network with D-Link router with 3 other computers (2 WinXP and a Vista). The computers are all on the same subnet 192.168.0.10X and all use DHCP from the Router.
    The Macbook is getting an IP from the router but it doesn't see the other computers in the Finder. and when I go to the Network utility an ping to the other computers or even to the router it doesn't receive any packets back.
    I have no Idea what to do. I would really appriciate help in the matter

    Activate your iCloud email address, then copy the folders and content from the Hotmail account to the iCloud account, do them one at a time and ensure that each one is completely copied before starting the next. This will take time as you are moving the mail across the internet.

  • Maintain access to network(shared folders) resources if the site loses access to a Domain Controller?

    Scenario
    Windows 7 users log on to workstations at a site. Domain Controller is up and does the domain authentication for those users across the WAN. Users are then accessing a local(same building) Shared directory on a Windows 2008r2 server, in order to open, modify,
    save new files, etc.
    Then, the site loses access to the Domain Controller due to a WAN outage.
    Question
    Will those users that have already logged onto their Windows 7 workstations continue to have access to the shared resources on the local Windows 2008r2 server with their cached credentials(assuming they don't logoff or restart their machines)?? This has
    been the case in the past, but wondering if anything has changed with Windows 2008??
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The duration that you can access the server depends on when the server requires re-authentication.
    In Windows implementation, SMB session expiration is enforced based upon the client’s support of dynamic re-authentication capability [MS-SMB].
    If the client enables the CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH capability bit, the server will enforce session expiration. If a client does not set CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH, the Windows server does not return STATUS_NETWORK_SESSION_EXPIRED. 
    The SMB dynamic re-authentication feature was introduced in Windows XP. From there, Windows-based clients set the CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH capability bit to indicate to the server that the client supports re-authentication when the Kerberos service ticket for
    the session expires.
    Windows servers do check CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH:
    If clientCapabilities sets CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH, the server will set Server. Session.AuthenticationExpirationTime to the expiry time returned by AcceptSecuirtyContext.
    If clientCapabilities does not set CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH, the server will not set Server. Session.AuthenticationExpirationTime, basically a CAP_DYNAMIC_REAUTH capability bit not set by the client means the session will not expire on the server side.
    To configure Maximum lifetime for service ticket, you can use grouppolicy. The default value of
    Maximum lifetime for service ticket
    in Default Domain Policy is 600 minutes.
    Note:This setting is applied to DC, not clients.

  • Shared Folders in mail

    I'm running a OS X Leopard Server mail server. Since a few days a folder called "Shared Folders" appeared in all mailboxes. Within this shared folders folder there are several folders with strange names:
    ._-Dong-seeiuqi
    ._-Jolie-seignora
    .-seer1990
    ._-seetrus2005
    .-seeun1990
    ._-seiklab
    There are now users with these names on my server. I would like to know how this could happen and what it is, and eventually how to remove them.

  • Can I set new shared folders to inherit permissions from the parent folder?

    Am running file sharing on an OS 10.9.5 machine.  This is not an OS-X Server.
    9 users connect to this machine.  They create folders and store files on it.  All the users who connect are in a group which has read and write permissions on the volume in which they store files.  But when they create new folders, the permissions on the new folder is 755.  I have changed the umask to 002 and this works for users who might create a folder locally but does not work for network connected users.  All users are AFP and, if it matters, are on 10.8.5.  The OS versions are held back for good reason.
    Is there a way to enable Inherited Permissions for new network created folders on the standard client OS?
    If not, can I do so on the server OS?  I have several older OS-X Server machines where this is a possibility.
    (Sorry if this is a duplicate but most posts like this seem to concern locally created files and folders and not network shared folders.)

    It can be done more easily with OS X Server, but you can do it anyway if you're familiar with the shell. See the section headed "ACL MANIPULATION OPTIONS" in the chmod(1) man page.

  • My Macbook Air does not show up on my network to any of my other computers, Other computers on my network appear and disappear, some shared folders are not accessible

    My Macbook Air with Lion does not show up on my network to any of my other computers (PC's) , even though it is connected to my wifi and does access the Internet. In addition, my other computers sometimes show up in Finder and sometimes they're not there. Sometimes they do show in Finder and when I click on them, I get "Connection Failed", other times, they connect. Also some shared folders on those other computers, which are PC's are not accessible, even though fully shared. My network is Apple Airport Extreme and works perfectly otherwise, including all PC's being able to see each other. Help would be much appreciated

    I got the same problem. I want to access my shared folder on my home windows7 from my MBA. Tried many suggestions on the web but all to no avail. I thought that should be very trivial. Maybe a Lion bug?

  • I have 2 Macs, connected to the same Wifi network. But sometimes, the shared computers does not appear on the left hand menu of the toolbar for me to access shared folders between the computers. Am I doing something wrong?

    I recently bought a MacBook Air for work. Whilst at home, both my Macbooks are connected to the same Wifi network. Sometimes, the 2 Macbooks are connected and I can access the shared folders, which is great. However, every now and again, the connection seems to be lost. Is there something I need to set up so that every time both Macbooks are switched on and connected to my Wifi, it will automatically be linked?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • Network home folders, collaboration sharepoint and Microsoft Word 2008

    I'm hoping someone who knows how Microsoft Word 2008 works on network volumes can shed some light on our situation.
    We run a small managed network with about 15 leopard clients and a leopard server. We've got two sharepoints, a "homes" share for network home folders, and an "Office" share with our shared office document folders.
    Several times a week, users will encounter a situation where Microsoft Word 2008 will claim that a file is open by another user, or that the file can be opened in "read only" mode, even though the file is not in use. Naturally, the problem cannot be replicated when I am present.
    ### My Hypothesis ###
    My users are in the habit of quickly borrowing machines from other users to pull up documents in the "office" share by using the "connect as" button. So, for example, userA is logged in to her machine (and is thus connected to the network home folder on the server). userB comes along and borrows her machine -- without logging out, will connect to the shared office folder, pull up and edit/print a document, etc. We're not currently auto mounting the office share.
    I know that Microsoft Word creates lock folders located in the .TemporaryItems folder at the root level of the "office" share. The folders are named "folder.xxxx", where xxxx is the userid of the account that created the lock folder. Everyone uses a network account, so everyone has a unique userID. If I list the .TemporaryItems folder using the CLI, i can see lock folders that are several days or a week old. So Word doesn't seem to be cleaning up after itself immediately, at least not always.
    So my question: when userB connects to the office share on a borrowed machine (logged in to the client machine using the network home folder of userA), is it possible that word will now create lock folders for userB, and will be unable to clean up lock folders created by userA?
    Anyone have other ideas for investigating the "file in use" problem?

    Switched user back to the network home folder and adjusted the MS Word preferences so that the autorecovery files would be stored on the local client machine. There doesn't seem to be a comparable setting in the Excel preferences.
    My initial testing suggests that this has reduced how often this problem occurs, but has not eliminated it. I tested by repeatedly opening and closing a couple of different word files in rapid succession -- i was able to replicate the "file opens as read only" problem occasionally.
    I've talked to Apple server support about this issue. While they were helpful, they didn't have an explanation or solution for this problem. There are a number of postings in the microsoft mactopia discussion boards site where people report similar problems.

  • Question about Sharing folders over network

    Alright, i have a mac and a PC, on the same network. I have a folder on my PC thats shared, and i can access it via the network tab in finder. The network icon thingy appears on the desktop, and it acts like a folder on my mac. Is there anyway i can move this "folder" to another location? Also, when i restart my mac, i have to conncet to the same folder again via the network tab. Is there anyway to have the folder stay there, even when restart my mac?

    Create an alias or a symbolic link would be the normal manner so you can access a folder/directory from another location.
    Can't help on the log-in automatically but perhaps SharePoints or something will let you. Do you use Samba to connect?
