Not all Macs show under shared

I have an iMac and 2 Macbooks with Time Capsule as WAP. The one Macbook shows under shared on Finder of iMac and one Macbook. The other Macbook doesn't show on either iMac or other Macbook. How do I get all three to show on each others shared panel? TC shows on all three.

Interestingly enabling stealth mode with FW on and printer sharing checked did the trick. Do you know anything about scanner sharing? When I check Scanner Sharing my old scanner shows up. That scanner is gone, however. But I can't seem to get rid of the old scanner name. Any idea how to get rid of the old name?

Multiple macs showing under Shared in Finder

Hi,
Running Yosemite 10.10 on an iMac 27".
Noticed that I have 19 Pete's iMac (#) showing under Shared in the Finder as per screen shot below. I recall this happening a few OS X versions ago but what's the cause. Is it anything to do with my ISP assigning and changing IP addresses regularly?
Does this matter at all.
All thoughts appreciated.

I had the same problem on my home network with my MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012).
My home network has an Airport express attached to the cable modem creating the wireless network and an Airport extreme on the other end of the house extending the network. On the network are two Apple TVs, an iMac, my MacBook Pro, a TIVO, and 3 iPhones.
For me the solution involved two steps: first, turning off "Wake for Wi-Fi network access" and "enable Power Nap when plugged into a power adapter" under the Power Adapter Tab of Energy Saver in System Preferences. Next I turned off all the computers on the network, unplugged each Apple TV, and unplugged the airports. I turned back on the airports followed by the Apple TVs and then the computers.
The downside is that back to my mac and find my mac will not work when the macbook is asleep in this configuration.
I worked with Apple support and the case was escalated. They called me back to tell me there was not a fix.
Initially we had turned off "Wake for Wi-Fi network access" and restarted the Airport Express and that made the MacBook Pro stop renaming itself and eliminated all but one of the phantom computers under Shared in the Finder side bar (number 9). But, the remaining phantom computer was driving me nuts.
I found a thread on Reddit that noted:
The problem is because of a bug between Yosemite and sleep servers. These servers reside in Apple TVs and Airports and act as a proxy for a sleeping machine on Wi-Fi. For now the only fix seems to be:
System Preferences --> Energy Saver, and UNTICK "Wake for network access".
Shut down your computer and then cycle the power on your Apple TV/s and/or Airport/s.
Power-up your computer, System Preferences --> Sharing, and rename the "Computer Name" as you wish.
This step is what killed my last phantom computer on the network.
There is an Apple support community thread that details a fix in terminal that will allow wake for network access, but I've not tried that yet. Here is that thread - Yosemite is renaming my computer - why?
Here is the Reddit thread that helped me identify that devices on the network were creating one of the phantom computers - http://www.reddit.com/r/osx/comments/2hxhp9/yosemite_computer_name_changing_for_ some_reason/
And this support community thread was also helpful - Computer name changes incrementally (1, 2, 3...)

In material master not all fields show the description of their value

Gurus -
Certain fields in the material master show their description text along.
Example -
Base Unit of Measure - EA      each
The description Text 'Each' which represent 'EA' comes from text Table T006A-MSEHT
Not all fields in material master show the description of what they represent. (only appear on F4 popup)
I want this description to come up for MARA-MAGRV field.
I want the configured value description for this field to appear on the screen.
I have 3 values put in this MARA-MAGRV
Z001 - description text 1
Z002 - description text 2
Z003 - description text 3
in MM01/MM02/MM03 only Z001 is see, not it description.
Here is what i tried
Added TVEGRT-BEZEI (desc field) in Transaction OMSR and assigned selection group 103 which holds MARA-MAGRV field too
any config missing?? what say?
Advises appreciated!
Thanks

You have to find out the conversion routine for domain MAGRV and enter in the convers. routine field.
if did not find one than you have create custom (take ABAPer help)
go to SE11 adn enter the domain MAGRV and hit display
on the definition tab you will see the conversion routine
here you need to populate the appo. conversion routine to see the text on the materia screen.
Conversion takes place when converting the contents of a screen field
from display format to SAP-internal format and vice versa and when
outputting with the ABAP statement WRITE, depending on the data type of
the field.
If standard conversion is not suitable, it can be overridden by
specifying a conversion routine in the underlying domain.
A conversion routine is identified by its five-place name and is stored
as a group of two function modules. The function modules have a fixed
naming convention. The following function modules are assigned to
conversion routine xxxxx:
o CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT
o CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT
The INPUT module performs the conversion from display format to internal
format. The OUTPUT module performs the conversion from internal format to
display format.
If a screen field refers to a domain with a conversion routine, this
conversion routine is executed automatically each time an entry is made
in this screen field or when values are displayed with this screen field.

Not all characters showing up in "Import Settings" dialogue

On the "Import Settings" dialogue in preferences, not all characters are shown when you select an encoder and use a custom setting.
For example:
When you select AIFF encoder and click "Custom...", sample rate and channel is shown as "sample rat" and "channe".
Can someone tell Apple to fix this?

Sounds like you have "Compilations" switched on.
In Itunes look at "get info" for the missing artists and see if the part of a compilation box is checked.
On you iPod go to settings>compilations and toggle it to off
To get the artists to show up on the Ipod you only need to do step 2.
When you have the compiliations features switched on (in either iTunes or iPod) artists that only have albums that are compilations will not show up in the artist list.
As for your other problem you can sort the columns by clicking on the title bar at the top, to sort by artist or you can add something to the "Greatest Hits" album title to differentiate it - for example all my greatest hits albums are titled GH - Artist so I know which one is which

Not all selected pictures are shared in album sharing in Photostream

I am trying to share an album with my friends on photostream. After i selected the album, added the friends, and waited for ever to upload the pictures, I realized that not all the pictures are available on the shared album. So i had to go back again and check the photos one by one to see what has been uploaded and what is missing to reupload them manually. This can get very tiring in large albums.
I guess mmy question is this:
Why is it doing that ? and how can i avoid such behaviour?
Is there a way that i can monitor / check the photos uploaded to make sure that the full album is there online ?

Hello Karim Zaafan,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I was thinking that it might be a good idea to see if perhaps you are bumping up to the limits of Shared Photo Streams.
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858
Shared Photo Stream limits
The current Shared Photo Stream hourly and daily limits are as follows:
Maximum number of photos to share per hour: 1,000
Maximum number of photos to share per day: 10,000
These sharing limits are separate from the upload limits above. For example, in the same day you could upload 10,000 photos to My Photo Stream and then share those 10,000 photos, or 10,000 other photos.Some additional limits for Shared Photo Stream usage:
Maximum shared streams an owner can share: 100
Maximum shared streams a user can subscribe to: 100
Maximum subscribers per shared stream: 100 (the number of subscribers on each shared stream)
Maximum number of photos per shared stream: 1,000
Maximum number of comments per shared stream photo: 200 (a comment can be either a like or a text entry)
Maximum characters per comment: 200
Maximum number of invites a shared stream owner may send per day: 200
Also I would recommend this precautionary step from iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Cheers,
Sterling

Not all artists showing up in 60gb pod

not sure if this topic has been discussed, but i have a new 60gb pod, just loaded some music, updated my pod and not all the artists show up. If I go the album search, the albums are listed. The groups do show up on itunes, just not the pod. And all the artists with a greatest hits cd are jumbled into one list in the album search!?! I have tried deleting the albums from itunes, reupdating the pod, reloading the album to itunes, reupdating the pod - no change. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks

Not all features showing up

installed iLife 5 on a 14" iBook with 256M of memory. tried to edit a photo and not all of the adjustments showed up when selected. only brightness/contrast. sharpness, saturuation etc. were not there. is this because of the memory...or something else?

Hi forrest Jerome,
If your iBook is a G3, as is mine, you do not get the extra adjust features as they are only supported for G4's and up. It actually says it right on the page for iLife.

Not all Albums show in Cover Flow

When I use Coverflow not all my albums appear on my iPod. They do appear in the Albums selection area in music on my iPod though and also appear in Coverflow in iTunes.
Any ideas?

Does the problem persist if you reset the iPod? Cover flow order is affected by the fields Sort Artist, Artist, Sort Album, Album with any leading "The" gerneally ignored. Maybe a combination of these values makes the albums you are looking for appear somewhere else in the Cover Flow.

Mac Book Pro not showing under shared section on my iMac anymore.

I used to be able to access my files on my MacBook Pro remotly with my iMac through file sharing eventhough the lid was closed. Now, everytime I close the lid of my MacBook pro it also disappears from the shared section on the iMac.
At the end I would like to be able to access my MacBook with my iMac remotely at home, so I can keep the laptop closed and placed behind the iMac. Thats the idea. And I had it working somehow before. So why is my laptop playing dead all of the sudden when I close the lid?
Another thing that got effected by this sudden change is the charging of my Apple devices (iphone/shuffle) when closing the lid. it just stops. Sometimes it doesnt charge the phone and other times it charges the phone but its switched off? I mean ***? I turn it on and its 100%. So there must be something wrong with the MacBook pro.
(additional info...I had the screen recently fixed since it had a crack in it, but it everything was working when I got it back....now out of the blue it stops)
Dont get me wrong...when the lids up everything is working perfectly. Charging is good. Sharing is working and I can use back to my mac on my iMac. Close the lid and the problems pop up.

Actually Pages for Mac and Pages for iOS are two completely different versions of the app and have nothing to do with one another. They have to be purchased separately, for the Mac from the Mac App Store and for your iPad from the iTunes App Store.
You may have a corrupted index file. Try reindexing your iMac and then see if it will update Pages. Others have solved this issue by repairing the permissions on their Mac. Thirdly, if the other two ideas prove fruitless, create a Test user account on your iMac, log into the Test account, sign into the Mac App Store and then see if you can update Pages.

Airport Extreme (2nd gen) not seen in Finder under "shared"

Specs:
15-inch Early 2008 >Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo>Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM>Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Airport Extreme Second Gen with Airport Utility 7.6.1
I do not want to update to Mountain Lion again.. since the first time proved to bring with it crashing and lots of glitches. And, I only ever do totally clean installs, wiping my HD with a 3x pass in disk utility. Main problem: External HD's which used to connect to my network with the AE under the "shared" sidebar, no longer appear. Matter of fact, my Airport Extreme in general, no longer appears in the Network folder. Nor do I see the ext HD under the "Disks" tab in Airport Utilities.
The external IS formatted as HFS Journaled *extended*, and has been for a while, back to when it used to work. I'm not sure of when it stopped being recognized, but the factors that have changed since then are that I did update to ML, but soon after went back to Lion. I also recently moved, and had to set up a new network of course. I also think perhaps that the Airport Utility version changed during this time.
I've read so many support documents, forum threads *different forums* and nothing seems to point me to a working solution. The HD does indeed work, since I of course plugged it straight in to my MacBook Pro's, and it shows up on both of them. Oh, should note that the other MBP is a year newer than the one listed above. It is the first unibody model 13". Question is, why would something that was working, stop working? I'd maybe be brave enough to roll back to Snow Leopard, but I'm really positive it was also working under Lion, so I shouldn't have to.
I'd really love some help on this please. Oh, and this is NOT in order to use Time Machine. I never use it. This is simply to access redundant backup drives on the network for photos and music.
Thanks much,
Doug

I spoke too soon, sort of. While the information I got from the Sonos website is accurate, and did indeed help in getting things started, the external HD with the enclosure I bought still isn't working! I even went so far as to reformat the drive last night, even though it was already formatted correctly. Just tried a few minutes ago, and nothing... The permissions look exactly as they do on the other disks so I'm not sure of what's up. At first, I thought that maybe Apple changed something about how the Airport Extreme sees externals, such as they must meet specific network based criteria... but then I tried a several year old iOmega portable Go drive, that I hooked up via micro USB and it worked immediately.
Now I'm wondering if there really might be something to what you said, about the enclosure. Is there a precedent for such an issue? Has anybody else here experienced this? But the wacky thing is that this external with enclosure was working perfectly not too long ago. So what has changed? I moved, and set up a new network. That has changed. But aside from that? I tried earlier firmware versions, and that did nothing. So either an OS update or my enclosure is all of a sudden wonky... even though it works perfectly otherwise? VERY confusing. BTW, the enclosure is a Rosewill.

Can not access .mac mail thru shared internet connection

I own a powerbook G4.
I recently purchased a mac mini for home. It is connected to a cable modem via ethernet.
I am connecting the powerbook to the internet using internet sharing via airport thru the mini - no problems.
I am, however, unable to connect to my .mac mail from the powerbook.
The following message is displayed:
-There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account ".Mac Account" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "mail.mac.com" on port 993 timed out.
I am able to check mail from the mini.
What am I doing wrong?
It was working earlier, and it DOES work if I reverse the config and connect my powerbook to the cable modem ... weird.
Any help would be appreciated.

The server error encountered was: The connection to
the
server "mail.mac.com" on port 993 timed out.
Port 993 indicates Use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is
selected for the .Mac SMTP server which I didn't
believe is supported with a .Mac account and when
selected, I'm not sure why it is working when
connected direct to the Cable modem and not
otherwise.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the
Advanced tab for your .Mac account preferences,
deselect Use SSL and the incoming mail server port
will change from 993 to 143 which is the standard
incoming mail server port for a .Mac or IMAP type
account.
Still does not work.
Port 143 times out.
Both computers accessing the same .mac account - is this a problem?
All other aspects of the wireless network function. Just no email (in or out) on the powerbook connected via airport.
Reset both machines several times as well.
Thanks in advance ...

Iomega 250 external hard drive - not all files show up

Hello,
I purchased a MacBook Pro last weekend. I have an Iomega 250 Gig external USB/Firewire hard drive. I have been able to connect it through USB and Firewire to my Mac. I have video clips in windows media player, quicktime and real player formats on the hard drive. All of my word files and music are showing up on my Mac but the video files do not. Does anyone have any suggesstions on what I can try to make them show up?
Thank you!

Hello,

Iomega 250 Gig external USB/Firewire hard drive. I
have been able to connect it through USB and Firewire
to my Mac.
I hope you mean you have tried USB and FireWire separately. Don't use both at the same time on the drive. FireWire should be a bit better.
Did you generate this disk on a Widows machine? If so, it may be in NTFS format. The Mac can read, but not write or modify a NTFS disk.
I have video clips in windows media
player, quicktime and real player formats on the hard
drive. All of my word files and music are showing up
on my Mac but the video files do not. Does anyone
have any suggesstions on what I can try to make them
show up?
By not showing up, do you mean the video files won't play? Real files need the free player from <http://www.real.com>. Some Windows Media files can be played using software from <http://www.flip4mac.com>, but their Intel version is not out yet. Do any of the file or folder names begin with a period? That would make them invisible to the Mac.

Not all songs appear under each artist...?

I've noticed that on my iPod, if I have some songs without an album listed, they won't show up under that artist if there's songs there that are listed with an album under that same artist. And this only happens if there is only 1 album listed under that user. That sounds really confusing so I'll give an example.
I have a few songs from Savage Garden's "Affirmation" CD on my iPod. But I also have some from their self-titled album, but I didn't bother putting the album name in. When I look under Savage Garden on my iPod, it goes straight to Affirmation, and shows ONLY the songs from the Affirmation album, but nothing else.
Is there any way to change this?

This has been a known bug for quite some time now. Apple seems to not see it as a bug tho but anyways....
THe work around is to either put a album name to the tracks or mark all tracks in your library without an album name "Unknown Album" or whatever you want to put in that field.
Labeling all tracks in your library without an album name "Unknown" is the easy, quick thing to do as it can be done within one minute. You just goto the "Music" library, hit the "Album" header so everything in the library is organized from A to Z to "Blank album name". Roll down highlight the first track that has no album name. Roll down to the last track without a album name, hold shift then highlight it. This highlight everything between the first and last.
Now just rightclick hit "get info" type "Unknown" or whatever you wish in the "Album" field, then hit OK
