Not seeing PCs automatically?

hi guys,
I recently got my new macbook and I'm really happy with it.
there's just one little thing that bothers me:
on my network there are 3 computers connected to my router. my macbook, an iMac and a vista pc.
the network itself works fine, so I can connect to every computer and use their shares.
BUT: finder won't show my vista pc automatically. the macs show each other in finder as soon as they boot up - no problems there. but my vista pc sometimes doesn't show up at all or after a really long time. on my vista pc I see both macs just fine.
after I spend about 4 days reading up on samba and trying to play with the smb.conf I got it working about 50% of the time. now I found out that the macs actually use bonjour to communicate (or at least that's how I understand it. there are LOTS of topics about bonjour and network printers, but bonjour is also used for data sharing between macs, isn't it?) which seems to work perfectly since they appear instantly when booting them up.
So I was wondering: Why doesn't my vista pc show up the moment it boots up although I have installed bonjour for windows on it?
Is there anything you have to do to make the windows pc communicate via bonjour (my firewall is set up properly)? Do you, maybe, have to disable samba to get it working? Shouldn't my vista pc behave like the macs as long as bonjour is installed on it?
would really appreciate any help on getting my vista pc to show up automatically.
thanks

Duhh...already a thread running here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1963930&tstart=0
I can now hook up my Vista with my Mac's! Changed in finder "connect to server" from "afp" to "smb" followed by the IP! Great help from iFelix! Thanks!

  • MBAM not seeing PCs with Bitlocker enabled, but AD does

    I am new to this, and I am just getting the servers up and functional in a test environment. Anyway, I first enabled in group policy, the option to save Bit-locker keys in AD. This works just fine. However, the next step is to have a MBAM server running
    also so either the Help Desk or an Administrator (or even the individual with the issue) can resolve an issue. The problem I am running into with MBAM (2.0 Update 1), is that it is not seeing the PC/laptop in question after Bit-locker is enabled. The help
    desk reports site, acts like it is running, but it never finds the laptop that has Bit-locker enabled. Is there another box or GP that needs to be applied?

    The URLs in question are provided at the bottom of the

  • Open Item not getting Cleared automatically

    Dear Sir,
    For a GL "Cenvat Clearing" , we have ticked the option "open Item Management" in FS00 .
    Our business scenario is as below :
    After MIGO , we do excise posting using J1IEX and here in the posted Fi document the GL "Cenvat Clearing" gets Credited . Subsequently during the MIRO this GL i.e "Cenvat Claering" gets Debited .
    My problem is that when I see in FBL3n for this GL the relevant transaction still appear under the open Items . Pl guide me , as what is the reason for this entry not getting cleared automatically .
    Regards
    B Mittal
    Regar

    PO number cannot be taken as sort feild  hence the value is in blank always.
    You need to identify some value for this feild and as a process you need to tell your users to incorporate the same at the time of doing MIRO.
    Or other wise you can take out the assignment of sort key to this GL account, and as a process you can instruct your user to use reference feild and input a value. If you fell that this is a tedious process,
    the Identify another feild that is common for both debit and credit line items and try to post with a common valuie using, one ABAP program which will update this feild. Mind that this feild need to be in the OB74.

  • How can I remove apps from my itunes library in version 11.0.0.163? The checkbox is no longer there in the new version and I do not see a drop down menu.

    In the new iTunes version 11.0.0.163 I tried to delete a free app but it still shows after I deleted it from all my Apple devices. The checkbox in the previous version of iTunes does not seem to be present in the new version and I do not see a drop down menu. And there are no Help menu choices either. I guess, I will otherwise wait for the new update to iTunes as of 12.10.2012.

    With iTunes 11 on PCs the drop-down menus are hidden by default - control-B should get the menus to show
    This screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC :

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • Why is elements better at photomerge than CC- CC does not appear to automatically fill image based on content but elements does when merging a panorama. Also the stitching is visable in CC but almost perfect in elements- why?

    I took 6 panorama shots of a scene and used CC to Photomerge them as one. Couldn't see where to automatic blend the edges and there was 'stitch' lines when the images were merged. So i did the same in Elements 11 and it was perfect. Am i doing something wrong in CC or perhaps not doing something at all?
    Any help, please?
    Dave

    Hi - Thanks for taking the time to reply and i appreciate the remarks- if a little harsh- we all have to start somewhere and i am fully aware of the limitations of Elements which is why i decided to add CC to my software. I can only say that if an inferior quality software from Adobe does the job well then CC must also be suited to doing the same which is why i can only think, from your comments, that i have not done something simple- however- following tutorials to get to the end result should have sufficed- it didn't so perhaps i will consider posting the difference between the two applications- and, perhaps suffer a few more 'harsh' comments. The learning curve is quite steep and i am a visual learner, but i'm also not totally incompetent:)
    Kind Regards

    First a clarification: you are not addressing Adobe here in these user forums.  You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
    I'll give it my best shot anyway.
    Few folks in this forum are really familiar with Elements, for which there's a dedicated, totally separate forum.
    Different engineering teams, also.
    From this perspective, it will be difficult to give you a direct answer to your "why?" question.
    Personally, I blend very large panorama shots in Photoshop proper since I can't even remember when without any issues whatsoever, up to and including in Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.
    Without being at your computer and without looking at your images, I couldn't even begin to speculate what you are doing wrong in Photoshop, which I suspect you are.  The least you could show is post examples from your panoramas that have gone wrong.
    I can tell you that panorama stitching requires significant overlap between the individual shots, besides common-sdense techniques like a very solid tripod and precision heads.
    The only version of Elements I have ever used for any significant time was Elements 6 for Windows, which I bought in 2008 to use on a PC (I've been an avid Mac user for 30 years).  I found Elements so limited and so bad that I successfully demanded a refund from Adobe.  IU mention this only to emphasize that I can truly only address your question from a Photoshop (proper) and Mac user point of view.  I couldn't care less about Elements, but if you have comparison examples of panoramas processed in both applications, by all means post those two.
    Generally speaking Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve, while Photoshop has many hand-holding features for amateurs and beginners.
    Perhaps the bottom line is that you should stick with Elements if you personally manage to get better results there.

  • Capture / FCP does not see camera

    I just upgraded to Final Cut Pro 4.0 from Final Cut Express 2.0. and Upgraded to Tiger. The program does not see my camera attached via firewire, though it is seen in system settings. The program crashes when I chose file/capture. I deleted preferences and capture still won't work. Any ideas?
    Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4)   2 GB DDR SDRAM

    You can't just upgrade to QT7 for some reason..you have to do some other trickery to get it to recognize your camera.
    Again, found by simple search:
    1. Navigate to Library -> Receipts on your main drive (not from your personal folder).
    2. Remove all files of the form QuickTime*.pkg, where "*" is a version number. E.g. QuickTime600.pkg, QuickTime650.pkg, Quicktime700.pkg and QuickTime701.pkg. This simply tells your system that those packages are not installed.
    3. Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/downloads and click on the "download Quicktime" link. DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE UTILITY. Download QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click this file (probably on your desktop) and then invoke the installer by double clicking QuickTime701.pkg.
    4. After your computer reboots, you should be able to restart FCE and see your camera.

  • IPhone 4 does not see my home WiFi network anymore.

    All of a sudden, a few days ago, my wife's iPhone 4 (initially with iOS 6.0.1, now with iOS 6.1) does not see anymore my home WiFi network (created by a Time Capsule), to which it connected automatically.
    This has worked flawlessly for years but now the home network (nothing has been changed to its configuration) does not appear in the list of networks seen by the iPhone 4 (mine, iPhone 5 - iOS 6.1 - has no problem at all) and when trying a manual connection I get an error message saying that the network was not found. When I tested, I was a feet away from the Time Capsule.
    I have turned the iPhone off and on again twice, to no avail. Just to try something, I created a new WiFi network from my iMac and it was immediately seen by the iPhone 4.
    I don't see what could explain these symptoms and what would be the cure.
    Help welcome
    Thanks
    Jacky

    No luck. It changed nothing to iPhone behaviour.
    Thanks anyway.

    when opening the iCloud settings I do not see an option for the iCloud T&Cs (OS 10.8 & iOS6)

    which Apple says should appear automatically once the update is completed...
    I am perplexed where you read that. It isn't true. The iPad is synced to the data available to all devices using the iCloud account if you have authorized it in the settings; PhotoStream, Contacts, Mail, Calendars, etc. That is how the iCloud works.

  • IDOCS Error - Not getting processed automatically

    Hi All,
    We are loading hierarchy for a Product from R/3 system using the standard datasource.
    When we execute the info package, IDOCs are not getting processed automatically.
    We are facing the below error message.
    Error when updating Idocs in Business Information Warehouse
    Diagnosis
    Errors have been reported in Business Information Warehouse during IDoc update:
    No status record was passed to ALE by the applicat
    System Response
    Some IDocs have error status.
    Procedure
    Check the IDocs in Business Information Warehouse . You do this using the extraction monitor.
    Error handling:
    How you resolve the errors depends on the error message you get.
    But when we goto BD87 and process the IDOCs manually, these are getting posted and the hierarchy is loading.
    Can someone please guide me on what is the issue with the IDOCs and how to make them to post automatically.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards,

    Hi,
    This will happen due to Non-updated IDOCu2019s in the Source system i.e., occurs whenever LUWu2019s are not transferred from the source system to the destination system. If you look at RSMO of the status tab, the error message would appear like u201CtRFC Error in Source Systemu201D or u201CtRFC Error in Data Warehouseu201D or simply u201CtRFC Erroru201D depending on the system from where data is being extracted. Sometimes IDOC are also stuck on R/3 side as there were no processors available to process them. The solution for this Execute LUWu2019s manually. Go to the menu Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In the Source System from RSMO which will asks to login into the source system. The u201CStatus Textu201D for stucked LUWu2019s may be Transaction Recorded or Transaction waiting. Once you encounter this type of status Execute LUWu2019s manually using u201CF6u201D or Editexecute LUWu2019s(F6).Just keep on refreshing until you get the status u201CTransaction is executingu201D in the Production system. We can even see the stuck IDOCu2019c in Transaction BD87 also.Now the data will be pulled into the BW.
    Hope it helps a lot.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Kamesham
