Network shares not showing in the sidebar

Since ugrading our clients Macs to Lion, any network shares that are managed using workgroup manager are no longer showing up in the users sidebar, and if I try to drag the share to the sidebar it stays for a second then disappears ( the sidebar preferences are set to show the shares)
But if I eject the share and re-connect then it does appear in the sidebar as expected, and ideas how to make it show up on first connection without having to disconnect and reconnect?

Thanks, I did delete the file several times, restating after each attempt. I also tried from guest and other user account - exact same.
Curiously,... the 'shared" and connected devices have started to randomly reappear. I know there are devices connected all the time. So I dont know whats going on.
Bring back SL.

  • I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar

    I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar and syncing not happening. I have tried resetting ipad and restarting etc but still no joy. Anyone had a similar experience?

    Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
    Try this.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

  • Network shares not showing up in finder osx Lion

    The shares on my network are not showing after I tried this SMBup. I tried to follow this guide but things didn't turn up as I was expecting them to work.http://knowledgebase.hsti.com/re-installing-smb-on-mac-os-x-lion-10-7-x
    This is the official website where in the middle of the page there is a note stating that "SMBUp installs Samba, which in turn replaces Apple’s OS X’s native netbios and SMB services. This means that while connecting to servers from the Finder remains functional, the Finder won’t be able to “browse” network services and servers from the network won’t show up in the Finder’s sidebar. Be advised."http://eduo.info/apps/smbup
    So i uninstall the samba restart the machine and now my shares don't show in the left side pane of finder. How can I get them back. Is the netbios service disabled

    Open Terminal and issue the following command
    ps aux | grep netbios[d]
    if you get a line similar to this
    _netbios          45   0,0  0,0  2477156   2456   ??  SNs   9:14am   0:02.44 /usr/sbin/netbiosd
    then the daemon is running, otherwise issue the following command to start netbiosd permanently
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.netbiosd.plist

  • Why is a network share not showing up in time machine settings when on the wifi?

    Hi all,
    I am currently trying to set up time machine for my Macbook air. I have connected an external harddrive to the network router and made it available as a network share. I have both read and write access to the drive, when mounted as a an SMB volume and while connect to the network via Wifi. However, when opening time machine settings and trying to select the backup volume, the network drive doesn't show up.
    What's wrong?
    Kind regards,
    Martin

    Time Machine cannot backup to a SMB network volume.
    Time Machine may also have problems backing up to AFP volumes on some network attached storage devices (NAS).

  • In Nautilus, mounted network shares not showing up right away

    I've noticed a strange problem recently (last couple of weeks) where my mounted network shares don't always show up right away in Nautilus (side bar or desktop- like they used to). For example, if I manually mount an NFS share in CL to /media/files it won't pop up in Nautilus right away like it used to. It will only show up after several minutes or if I plug in a thumb drive to trigger it to refresh. Also, when my computer is in suspend and I resume it, all predefined network share mounts in fstab that are indeed mounted won't be present in Nautilus upon resuming from suspend (they did before).
    I'm not sure where the problem lies as Nautilus or dbus haven't been upgraded in the repositories recently. I tried looking at recently updated packages but I can't pin it on one that would be causing the problem. I'd like to get an idea of what packages are affected before submitting a bug report. If anyone has any idea on the package I can downgrade no problem and test this further.

    Figured out the last filesystem upgrade from Decemeber is causing this. Bug posted- FS#27851.

  • Network shares not showing up in finder

    This one has me stumped. I have a 3 computer set up, macbook 10.5.8, imac 10.6.6 and a macbook pro 10.5.8. From both the macbook and iMac I am able to see all other machines on the network and connect with no problem. On the pro I cannot see any of the other machines on the network. I can connect to them using command K and typing in that information, but under shared in the finder it doesn't list anything. I've poured through everything I can think of and every machine is identical in setup. Same workgroup, same firewall setup, same share set up, same everything. Can't figure this one out. I've also had issues with the pro disappearing from the other machine's shared section after time has gone by with no activity. The pro is not in a sleep state at these times and even if I go back to the machine and get it fully running again the connection is lost until I do a restart. FYI all of the machines are in the same vicinity and connecting to the same router so I don't think connectivity is an issue. I don't know if it's related because I haven't had this problem in about 2 weeks and I think I figured it out but the pro was having connection problems a few weeks ago every so often. When I would turn it on it would self assign an ip address. I tracked that problem down to a router security issue and believe I have fixed it but thought I would include that information. Before I figured out how to fix the problem a short term fix was to take the file from Library/Preferences/System Configuration and trash it and then do a restart. The system would rebuild the file and the issue would be taken care of temporarily. Don't think this has anything to do with my current problem either but thought I would include it just in case. What did I miss?

    Open Terminal and issue the following command
    ps aux | grep netbios[d]
    if you get a line similar to this
    _netbios          45   0,0  0,0  2477156   2456   ??  SNs   9:14am   0:02.44 /usr/sbin/netbiosd

  • I used a "cleaning" program to fix registery now bookmarks won't show in the sidebar. the organized bookmarks show in the bookmarks dropdown menu.

    How can I get the bookmarks to show in the sidebar again. It is checked as always but after using a program to clean up unwanted or corrupt files, the bookmarks will not show in the sidebar.

    What cleaning program did you use?
    If you got a pop-up on a website that you were infected then you now probably have caught some malware.
    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

  • AFP shares not showing in Sidebar

    I am having problems getting afp shares to show in the Shared section of the Sidebar. The Sidebar is showing two of the SMB shares but nothing else. All of the AFP shares show on the other two Leopard computers. I have tried the following:
    1. Turned Bonjour computers on and off in Finder Preferences.
    2. Use DiscWarrior to clean the disc and have repaired permissions several times.
    3. Tried deleting the com.apple.network.identification.pist file.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks for any help.
    Peter

    I have this problem from time to time. To get them to show, in the Finder I go to Go > Connect to Server > then click on Browse. The will not show them in the left sidebar, but will show under the Network. I know it does not solve the problem. I'd like to know a fix as well.

  • I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

    I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
    Can this be done
    Thanks for any and all help

    The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
    The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
    While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
    Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
    If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

  • I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC.  I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it.  These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

    I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

    You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

  • Adding shared printers? Network printer not showing up in list

    I have a network printer not showing up in the Bonjour Printer Wizard. There is not a place to add a printer to this list. Does my network printer need to be installed under the Windows side as well, or can I share it using Bonjour? I'm confused as to how the shared printer program works. Also, my Adobe "print to pdf" option shows up as a printer, but how do I change the file destination location? It doesn't give me an option to change the "saved to" location. I am using these printers through Parallels in AutoCad, and that should be the only reason I will need to share printers. But I am in AutoCad a good deal of time, so I need to know how to quickly print my drawings.

    Welcome to the forums!
    You don't say if you installed after downloading the Printer you deleted, but I suspect it's one not showing, and that you need to reinstall.

  • SMB share not showing all available files

    Hi,
    At work I have to connect to several SMB shares. Most are fine, however 1 of them does not show all the files that are on that share. I know I'm using the right domain, username and password. I've checked the console and can see this message repeated when I connect.
    mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
    mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy

    I'm using OS X 10.4.8 and have no idea of how to proceed. My IT department do not support our Mac's so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Kieran

    excellent reply. Thanks for the details.
    Oh, one more thing-
    this 30-item limit is just in this same troublesome share.
    Before the day gets away from you, ask the network admin to check permissions on this share. Perhaps the 30 files you see are the only ones that you have explicit rights to view.
    they may need to ease up on restrictive permissions on this folder/drive.
    (Images over a network can be funky, since Mac wants to display a little thumbnail of all those picture files...if you're viewing 'as icons', what happens if you change to 'by list'?...thinking out loud there.)
