Networking with a PC, Not recognizing the network.

Have a network set up at home with a few PCs and a mac. Sometimes my network will show up in the network window, but then some other times it won't. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for the help!

Make sure your Mac is using the same workgroup as the PCs. Run the "Directory Access" program in /Applications/Utilities. The offical help document is: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107137
You might have to upgrade to Tiger. It has better support of Windows networks.

  • IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

    ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.  Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock.  Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

    Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
    You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you?  If so, that won't work.  The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection.  All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

  • Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document.  I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password that goes with the hint.  Is there anything I can do to access my doc?

    Pages for iPad is not recognizing the password I assigned to a document.  I included a hint, and I know I am entering the password associated with the hint.  Is there anything I can do to access my document?  i quite the Pages app and restarted it.  Now I guess I'll reset the iPad and see if that helps.   Thanks!

    Interesting that one does not need the password to delete using Finder.
    The Pages password protects the contents of the document.  If there were a Finder password, it would protect what you might think of as the "file wrapper" ... the stuff around the file content.
    Glad it's not vital.  I have to say I only pasword protect those Pages documents that are, in fact, vital.
    Best of luck.

  • HT6114 Does the 10.9.2 update fix the issue on 2011 macs where projectors with HDMI are not recognized via thunderbolt adapter?

    So to be clear, this issue occurs on any input with the Denon Receiver.  Occurs from both HDMI out and MiniDisplay Port out.  Goes away when we reinstall the OS and update it to 10.9.2.  Comes back as soon as we update to 10.9.3.

    Have you been able to use the Mac Mini directly attached to the plasma/LCD/projector with out going through the Denon AVR? Even with 10.9.3 installed?
    I have a Pioneer AVR and I have the Mac attached via a HDMI to HDMI and all is working for me. Can your Denon do some upscaling? Some AVR, like my VSX-53 can change the scaling of the input video. Meaning if I still had my Apple TV 2 which outputs 720P only, can be upscaled in my AVR to 1080i or 1080P or even 24fps. Heck, I could even plug in an old style Red, White, Yellow cable and upscale it to 1080P and output it HDMI.
    I am wondering if your Denon is able to do that and it might be set wrong. Check the owners manual for such settings. Even the plasma/LCD/project could be doing the upscaling too. So check that too.

  • No luck importing from SonyHandycam DCR-DVD650?  I am using USB import to my MacBook that is running OSX 10.6.8. The MacBook is not recognizing the camera.  Any ideas what the issue could be?

    I am not having any success in importing my videos from Sony Handycam DCR-DVD 650 to my mac book.  I am using the USB connection.  The macbook is not recognizing the camera.  The macbook is running OSX 10.6.8.  Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2361 There's a recommendation that when using this camera to record in the 'Standard' format instead of VR format. So if you know what the setting was you used to record the disk that's a starting point.
    According to this website the camera should be compatible with iMovie '11
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
    So here's some steps to take to get the Mac to recognize your camera.
    1. Try it more than a few times, sometimes it can take 2-4 attempts to get iMovie to recognize a camera for the first time.
    2. Always get the power adapter for your camera out of the bag. Hook it to the wall outlet, then plug your camera into that. Don't run it off the battery.
    3. With the camera plugged into the wall, in DV playback mode. Hit play and just let it play video out continuously, then reboot the Mac. As soon as you see the desktop, launch iMovie. Go to File Menu > Import from Camera and see if the Capture window opens with your video playing through.
    4. Make sure iPhoto doesn't try to launch itself automatically when it detects your camera has been connected to the Mac. Sometimes it tries to steal the videos off of a camera and 'blocks' iMovie from seeing the camera when it's attached. So make sure iPhoto hasn't interecepted your camera and is not running at all when you launch iMovie
    No guarantees, but some things to try

    DELL   Windows XP   3.2 Ghz Pentium D With 60GB Ipod Photo

    First of all try Resetting your iPod. Hold down the
    MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten
    seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the
    menu button to go to the normal display. Once you've
    done that, if everything is working again, have a
    look at this troubleshooting article: iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    You, my friend, are a life saver!!! I had the same problem today and I was freaking out. I was watching a video and went back to the menu and that's when it froze. None of the buttons would do anything. It sat like that with the backlight on for about three hours so the battery is just about drained now. I never knew about the Menu and Select button reset method until now.
    It worked beautifully, thanks!!!!

  • USB is not recognizing the device and giving error 10

    My PC USB is not recognizing the device (iphone) and giving error 10.. The USb is malfunctioning but ipod is getting connected easliy

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

  • My Toshiba Satellite p775-s7320 not recognizing the CD/DVD player (ODD)

    Hello all,
    I am having the problem as listed in the title in that my toshiba satellite p775-s7320 is not recognizing the built-in CD/DVD player anymore. I have the latest Bios upgrade from Toshiba. The last time this worked was earlier this year during the summer. Nothing abnormal or apparent has happened to the laptop to change anything internally, except the Bios upgrades.
    Interestingly enough, there is power to the CD/DVD mechanism and the open/close features work perfectly, but the Bios can't "see" the ODD. So because the Bios doesn't see it as being attached, and the System doesn't "see" because the Bios doesn't, it doesn't matter that the Open/Close function works, because putting a good CD in with data on it is of no value.
    I was considering trying to revert the Bios to an earlier one, but simply trying to load the older Bios through the Windows Bios software is a No-Go because the software won't allow me to go to an earlier Bios flash.
    I'm at the end of the line with common options, other than trying to switch out the Cd/DVD for a brand new one. Something I don't want to do if I can avoid it, but I would as a last resort. As well, loading a fresh image is out of the question as I have too much accumulated software on my harddrive and don't really think the problems stims from that.
    Otherwise, any other solutions may be worthwhile to try. I would really like to flash the Bios to an earlier time when the machine worked well, but I dont know how.
    Thanks for taking a look. BTW, I have removed and replaced the current CD/DVD several times with no change in recognition by the Bios.

    I have a canon 7d and my aperture version 3.4.5 is not recognizing the raw format? The Can not review any raw photo in the adjustments/raw fine tuning controls.

    When i click on the adjustments everything is grayed out and the messages states " Image Not Found'.
    Are you seeing broken arrows or yellow warning triangles, when you enable badge overlays?
    That looks, like your original image files were missing.  Are your images referenced or managed?
    Create a smart album with the rules "Files status is missing" or "Files status is offline". This will show you any images, where the original raw files cannot be found.
