Odd sharing issue after updating to 10.7.4

Ok, first of all I made the jump from 10.6.8 straight to 10.7.4 on both my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 Quad 3 Ghz and my 2010 MacBookPro
Till this upgrade I was able to file share and mount either computers hard drive(s) on the other coputers desktop as a shared drive.  However, what I experience now in Lion is that while using the Mac Pro, I am able to see the MacBookPro, share the screen, and mount the drive on the Mac Pro desktop.  However, on the MacBookPro I can see the Mac Pro in my side bar, but when I click on it it says connection failed.  I get the following message when I try to connect as:
There was a problem connecting to the server "macpro"
Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.  If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator.
I can however share the screen just fine.  I just can't mount the drive as a shared drive like I was able to under SL.  This is getting really frustrating as I have check, rechecked the network and sharing settings and everything looks like it should on both computers.  I can't find where I can go to try to "check the server name or IP address" as the message tells me to do, so even if it's wrong somewhere I have no way to find what its pointing to and "fix" it. 
The only oddity that I can see is that on the Mac Pro when it's set to connect to the Macbook Pro using an AFP location.  However on the Macbook pro trying to connect to the Mac Pro it lists a VPN location?  yet I cannot find where this is to change it to an AFP location to see if that solves the issue.  I'm pretty stumped here .
The LAN setup I have is a DSL modem/router that is hard connected to my Mac Pro, and my Macbook pro connects to it via wi-fi.  This setup hasn't changed since updating to Iion.  I'm able to connect to the internet fine.  I just don't get why I can't mount my Mac Pro hard drives on my desktop as I used to be able to.

I was having the exact same symptom.  In my case 2 other Macs (Air and Macbook Pro) were backing up to a shared drive on my Mac Mini server.  After the upgrade to 10.7.4 on the Mac Mini I noticed that backups were completely stopped (unable to mount drive).
I went to the Mac Mini server and ensured AFP was checked and just in case also explicitly added SMB access for the users that would be doing the backups.  Here is a screen shot of my settings:
In my case that STILL was not enough.  For the machine I had upgraded to 10.7.4 (Air) it failed with some sort of mount error.  Ugh!  Via another post I learned that 10.7.4 was not going to be happy until it started fresh with a new Time Machine image.  So I backed up the Air to a different drive on the Mini, erased the original image and then backed up to the original drive.
At this point I can't say which combo was sufficient to fix my problems... much less yours.  Hope this helps.

  • ITunes 7.3.1 (3) - odd burn issues after update

    I'm using the latest version of iTunes running OS X 10.4.9
    When I try to burn a disc, I get the following error...
    The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
    Before I upgraded, I could burn. And now, no burn.
    I tried the suggestion of moving the following file to the desktop after you completely close iTunes. Worked for a few people, not for me though.
    Open HD - User - Library - Preferences - com.apple.iTunes.plist
    So - I need some advice from you all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Syncing issues after updating to 10.3.1.55

    After upgrading to itunes 10.3.1.55, today, it no longer recognizes my iPhone 4. I plug it in, the iPhone makes its normal syncing noice. I get a prompt, like always about it recognizing the camera and how i want to handle it. I cancel it, as usual, and then it never shows up in iTunes. I close itunes, connect my phone and it does not start itunes as it normally should. No error messages, just no response. Can anyone help with ideas?

    I had the same issue, after updating to 10.3.1.55 it would error out saying something along the lines of not being able to read the catalog or something.  I think the error even states do a restore to fix it.  Last night that is what I did, clicked restore and then had it transfer all my items back.  I'm glad I had just synced my phone prior to the update so the restore was really current.

  • Safari, App Store Issues after updating to 10.7.2

    I have been running my imac that came preinstalled with Lion
    I am having this wierd issue after updating to 10.7.2 recently
    When i run Safari, App Store, Itunes, i can see its loading..
    but after 2 hours its still loading.
    It just seems to be stuck and its not the Beach ball.. So i dont think it hanged
    Its not a network issue as well, since i am typing this on Firefox, which is running perfectly
    What could be the reason?

    I'm having the same issue on my iMac. I've also noticed the rear of the left side is getting a lot hotter than normal.
    I downloaded (from: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459) the update again and reinstalled it. But nothing's changed. Is there anything else I can try?

  • Issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network (Italy)

    Hi everyone
    I have issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network.
    After installing iOS5 I had to switch from apn ibox.tim.it to wap.tim.it
    Since then the phone is unusable for any internet activity that is barely "data demanding" (e.g facebook app take literaly hours to update), everyting requires way to much time... the iPhone is not an iPhone anymore... it's worse than my blackberry with just GPRS on it.
    TIM technical support suggested me to switch back on apn ibox.tim.it, but then I would not be able to use internet tethering anymore (they say because of Apple iOS5) ... to bad I need internet tethering for work.
    I am seriously thinking to switch ISP or phone.
    Anyone did experience same problem / found a solution?

    Hi Raia.D,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to restart your iPhone.  Then tap the Settings app, and you should see Cellular listed on the main settings screen.  You should see Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and then Cellular.
    Here are some additional troubleshooting steps to try:

  • Color (onscreen/print) issues after update to 10.4.9

    I am on the hunt for any new information - I haven't found it yet. I am convinced that one printer profile has gone haywire after the OSX 10.4.9 update. I can no longer use it accurately to onscreen proof nor application manage print in Aperture. The other printer profiles seem to be working. Using PSE4 I get the same preview and print results - major yellow/orange colorcast. My other two printers are working ok.
    I understand proofing may/will present a shift in lightness, contrast, etc. and you can create an Aperture version to make adjustments for that profile. But I am experiencing a major shift that is difficult to adjust in the overall image.
    Has anyone experienced "all of a sudden" icc profile / onscreen proofing / printer issues after the update (FYI ColorSync was updated in that)? I have tried just about everything except un/reinstalling Aperture.

    Did you find out anything about this? I'm having exactly the same problems with Aperture and 10.4.9. Onscreen proofing is completely useless for all profiles supplied by HP (I have a B9180 printer). It might of course be an issue with these particular profiles, but odd thing is that it's only the screen rendering that looks wrong (yellow or reddish cast) while the prints looks just great.

  • Lumia 1520 Battery Discharge Issue After Updating ...

    After updating to Denim, my Nokia Lumia 1520 started to experience the following symptoms:
    Phone charges to 100%, I disconnect and use an app like Instagram BETA, Internet Explorer, Lumia Camera, or any game--after no more than 5 minutes of use, the phone gives a "Critical Low Battery" alert and shuts down. If I try to restart phone immediately, it makes it to the AT&T splash screen or lockscreen and then same battery message appears and shuts down. If I wait 10-15 minutes after the shutdown to restart phone (without recharging) the phone will stay on, but battery level will report to be in the low 20s or 10s (whereas no more than 20 minutes ago, it was 100%).
    When phone is at 100% battery: I take 2-5 photos or record mere seconds of video and I get the same "Critical Low Battery" alert. Upon restarting, some of the photos or video are nonexistent or corrupt files and battery level is reported at 2-5%.
    However, if my phone is plugged in to charger, none of these "Critical Low Battery" alerts come up and I am able to use phone as usual. Considering that I cannot take a vacation and capture nature's beauty with an AC adapter always connected, this is a serious drawback.
    Steps I've Taken:
    Soft-reset
    Full factory-reset
    Moved all apps off microSD card (this improved situation maybe 5%)
    Disabled almost all background app use in Battery Saver
    Replaced microSD card when I thought this was a memory write/read issue
    Installed "Battery" app to monitor battery use. After 750 data points were logged, my average battery life is reported at "16 minutes," which sounds about right.
    My warranty should be expired since I purchased the phone December 2013, so I'm checking in here if anybody has had any luck with battery replacements or with a solution to this issue? At the same time, this issue arose strictly after updating to Denim and I've seen other users report this EXACT scenario. Is there any hope for Lumia 1520 users on this?

  • Logic Remote connectivity issues after updating to iOS 8 (solved!)

    Has anyone else has been experiencing connectivity issues with Logic Remote after updating to iOS 8?
    After updating to iOS 8 I could no longer connect so I sent a feedback report to Apple and got a response that cleared up my problem immediately:
    Navigate to the following directory on your desktop system running GarageBand:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    You can quickly navigate there using the “Go” menu in Finder -> Go To Folder (shift-command-G), then copy this path:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    In the Preferences folder should be a file named "com.apple.garageband10.cs”.
    Make sure GarageBand is not running and delete the  "com.apple.garageband10.cs” file.
    Relaunch GarageBand and see if you should now be able to connect.
    The same can be done for Logic by navigating to:
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    And deleting "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" and restarting Logic.
    Note that doing this will fix Logic Remote connectivity issues (and possibly other problems with latency and mixer functionality)  but will also delete any other Controller settings that you've configured with Logic, if you happen to be using another controller of some sort.

    Thanks very much!  This solved my connection problem.

  • "No Service" issue after updating iOS 8.1

    My iPhone 5 is really giving trouble after updating all iOS 8.01, iOS 8.02 & iOS 8.1. Cellular network is come to halt, "No Service" issue is regular and i am not able to use my iPhone 5 as phone. 
    Please help me out else i have to switch to some other phone.

    I have similar problem but with a 6:   bought new iPhone 6 four days ago, phone and 3G signal were fine in UK from Sat to Mon.   Yesterday, I traveled to Belgium and have had 'no service' problem since.   I am carrying a Nokia feature phone which is locked on to local network and working fine.  
    If I power off the iPhone and power on, it comes back and joins the network.   Five or so minutes later, it has dropped the network and will not re-attach if I put in/out of flight mode; needs power reset, and then drops again.
    It is conceivable that this is a carrier issue but given that Nokia is fine and all the postings that I'm finding on various discussion sites, then I feel that it is an iOS issue.   I'm booked in to visit the Apple Store at the weekend.   My previous iPhone 4S was running iOS 7 and had no such problems.  
    So, carrying an expensive brick at the moment and hoping for an iOS update that will resolve this. 

  • MacBook Pro issues after updating to iOS8

    After updating to iOS8 I ran into some strange issues (listed below) for the first time ever. Some of them I noticed the next day, others a couple of days later...
    - all my contacts disappeared in "contacts"
    - all my contacts disappeared in "Skype"
    - my background picture disappeared
    - all my folders in the launchpad were unpacked and all the summarized apps were scattered all over the launchpad.
    All those things happened while the computer was in sleep mode, not turned off and didn't return to normal after restarts.
    I got everything restored/reorganized but keep wondering if somebody else experienced something similar.
    Thanks for your help.

    Well, if your Contacts have disappeared, then under System Preferences, click on iCloud and make sure you are signed into iCloud. If you are not, sign in. If you are, sign out and then back in to see if that restores your contacts.
    I take it you have already restarted your Mac? If not, do that as well.
    Best of luck,

  • SCCM 2012 R2 - OSD issues after update to CU4

    Over the weekend, I updated my SCCM environment from RTM to CU4.
    All seems to have gone well, except for OSD
    When attempting OSD, I receive the following error:
    "An error occurred while retrieving policy for this computer (0x80004005)..."
    So, a quick look over at smsts.log and I see the following:
    I did some bing'in and googling around for this and found plenty of pages about this error and all pointed to incorrect BIOS times.  I checked the BIOS time on the system I was trying to image, and it was correct (including date).  Just in case,
    I tried two more machines and I had the same issue.  Each machine has the correct BIOS date/time as well, so the issue I have doesn't seem related.
    ... and that brings me here.  Does anyone have any insight as to what might be causing the issue?
    Thanks!

    I noticed two thing in your log file that are worth a check:
    I noticed a 404 error in your log file that might indicate an issue with some files that can't be found. Check the IIS log file for more information;
    I noticed that you're using HTTPS. I've seen weird issues after a CU update in which the distribution point certificate got missing. In that case, check the distribution point properties and update the boot image.
    My Blog: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/
    Follow me on twitter: pvanderwoude
    I did miss the 404 message... silly me.
    This definitely pointed in the right direction.  What we found was that it wasn't an issue IIS or the https certificate, but our certificate chain had issues.  We cleared out the certificate chain issues and re-installed the MP role.   This
    cleared the issue immediately.
    Thanks Peter for the guidance!

    There is no IOS 8.0.2 out yet. There is no patch for iPhone5s.
    This update is specific for iPhone6/6+ as indicated
    Download the file below that corresponds to your device:

    8.0.2 is out.  But if it's true that 8.0.2 is only for iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, WHY would it appear on devices that aren't 6 or 6 plus?  I have two 6 phones and the update went fine.  But the update also appeared on our iPad's, which I downloaded and that went fine as well.
