OS 10.9.2 and shared folder on Win8.1 machine

After I updated my OS to 10.9.2 i can no longer connect to a shared folder on my Win8.1 machine. It seems to conect but I cannot view anything in the folder. If I try to disconnect my Mac kinda hangs. I can still start other apps but the Apple menu is no longer usable. I cannot restart or shutdown, I have to hard power off the machine. Seems fine if I try to connect to a Win 8 machine but not Win 8.1. I have a late 2011 macbook pro.

...I actually just uninstalled, and then reinstalled the software, and it's working now!
Thanks for the response though

Hello All,
we have created shared folder on multiple client machine in domain environment on different 2 OS like-XP,Vista, etc.
from some day's When we facing problem when we are access from host name that shared folder is accessible but same time same computer when we are trying to access the share folder with IP it asking for credentials i have type again and again
correct credential but unable to access that. If i re-share the folder then we are access it but when we are restarted the system then same problem is occurring.
I have checked IP,DNS,Gateway and more each & everything is well.
Pls suggest us.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.
Best Regards,
Eve Wang

Need help sharing folder on home network

I just setup 10.4 server on a mac mini for my home. I would like to share a Public folder for the family's files and itunes on the server. I would like to have it be completely open for access by anyone in my home network. What is the best way to set this up??
Currently I made a user "itunes" and shared Music which my XP machine and my Macs can access. But folks need a password to get into it. I want it completely non-secure. I did this via Server Admin. It almost seems easier to just share a folder via "Sharing" in Sys Prefs.
I replaced this machine with a SuSE Linux machine just a couple days ago. It was a lot easier to share on SuSE, but I guess I'm just not used to the system yet.
Thanks for the help.
Tom
PS - I posted this on the 10.5 section by mistake.

In Tiger server you setup sharing of folders/files using he WorkGroup Manager, WGM, in Server Admin you configure the AFP and/or SMB Windows filesharing server(s) and turn them on/off.
I don't think you can leave the password empty for SMB server access for a non guest user.
So if you turn on guest access I think guest shared folders accessible without a password.
Otherwise you might from Windows need to "connect as an other user" and perhaps tel Windows which machine/server should authenticate the user by entering server machinename\username or server ip\username and password (which can be very trivial like "123" or something).

Essbase and Shared Services - Whether 1 box installtion is good or 2 box in

Hi,
I need to upgrade/migrate 50+ cubes from Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1.
Whis options mentioned below is better:
1. Install Essbase and Shared Services in one box/machine
2. Install Essbase in one box/machine and shared service in another box/machine.
What will be the best architecture for this?

Personally I would suggest keeping essbase separate especially with the number of applications, though it is probably best discussing your options and infrastructure with a good consultant as these decisions cannot really be made on a forum.
Cheers

Executable and shared library portability

Hi,
What are things that one should keep in mind when trying to deploy executables and shared library built on one machine to another.
Thanks

1. Use compiler options to generate code for the most generic of the machines you intend to support. For example, if you intend to run on UltraSparc II systems, don't generate code for US III. The option -xarch=v8plus is suitable for all 32-bit Sparc systems less than 10 years old. Avoid -xchip, -xcache, and other processor-specific options.
2. Build on the earliest version of Solaris that you intend to support. If you allow your clients to use Solaris 8 or later, you must build your libraries and applications on Solaris 8. Binaries created on later versions of Solaris cannot be expected to work on earlier versions of Solaris, but can be expected to work on later versions.
3. Do not link system libraries statically. Always link the shared library. Static versions of system libraries can't be expected to work a a different version of Solaris, or on a different patch level of the same Solaris version.
4. Make a note of the patch level of system libraries on your build system. For C++, check especially the patch level of SUNWlibC. Clients might need the same or later patch levels on their systems. For our products, we set up our build machines with the earliest patch levels that allow our products to work. We document those patch levels, and provide the minimum patches with the product installation. If a client system has a later patch level, the patch we supply won't be installed, and the later patch level should allow the product to work correctly.

2 questions: default to shared folder and switcher sort order

I've got two Finder questions to which I haven't found an answer:
1) Can the "Finder>Preferences>General>New Finder windows open" option ever be set to a folder on a file server? When I try to do this, I can select the shared folder, but the pop-up menu reverts to the previous selection (e.g. Home). I suspect that since a server cannot be guaranteed to be accessible, the Finder refuses to allow it to be assigned as a default location.
2) I've got a switcher friend who would like to replicate in Finder windows the Windows Explorer behavior of sorting all folders to the top of the list. Is there a utility that will do this? List View sorted by Kind works for this chap only if there are no items with a Kind of alias, application, etc. that will sort higher than "Folder".

1) the answer appears to be yes but if you ever try to open a new window when the server isn't available the preference reverts to your computer.
2) no, at this time there is no Finder pref nor utility that sorts folders to the top. Two solutions exist but both are kludges. First, name every folder with a leading space, this forces the sort to the top. Second, PathFinder is a Finder semi-replacement which does allow the option of sorting folders to the top. PF is an interesting product but because it doesn't have all of Finder's AppleScript behaviors it cannot perfectly replace the Finder and having, in effect, two Finders is annoying.

How to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p

how to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p containing the details in each order in the text file

Hi,
Use GUI_UPLOAD to upload a text file from a shared folder.
Use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download data in a file on the presentation server or use OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER and CLOSE DATASET statements to download data to the application server.
Now, I hope the code for data fetching, if required, is already present in the report.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

I am trying to transfer music files from one PC to another using homeshare and although I can view the music as a shared folder I cannot initiate the "import" process. I have iTunes 11.0.1.12 on both computers so the help screenshots do not help as such

Then stop trying to use HomeShare and use one of the other options listed in the document from which your question was posted.

Why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?

why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?

Try in order:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup
Based on the info you provided it appears you did the restore from backup and sitll have problems. Thus, I would just restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

I have run the gambit of Home Sharing Trouble Shooting and still have no shared folder on my Touch. WTH?

I'm at a loss. I have done everything on Apple's Troubleshooting list to try to access my laptops music files on my Touch, but there is still no Shared folder in the More section of my Touch's music. I've restarted and updated everything, unathorized and reauthorized both devices, toggled home sharing on/off, allowed the relevant ports to pass through my router's Firewall, and have turned off the Firewall on my laptop. Nothing. Nada. It is a 4th gen Touch. ***.
Does anybody have a hail mary of an idea to get this freaking home sharing to work on my Touch? Grrrr.

So. When i turn search for my library from my ipad the little grey boxes appear with the names of the tv shows on them before the artwork is loaded. but on the 5 shows im having an issue with they remain blank.
I then deleted thhe 5 shows from my library and then re added one ofthem only changing the info-name to aaaaaaa and changing it from a home movie to tv programe. This did work for a short while. the name appeared on my ipad with the correct tv show cover. then after about a minute the name went blank and the album cover changed to a cd in my music library.
I had a similar issue with some of my other tv shows. i.e. when i tapped american dad on my i pad, there was 2 little boxes that said no season. so i clicked on the top one and it was just the pilot. so i went in to itunes to investigate and in the metadata the artist had been filled in as (1). so i deleted the number from the artist pane and that sorted that issue out. i checked the rest of the tv programs and there were a few issues but using the same method that sorted them all out.
I then went back to sort out the other 5 shows out. i ticked every box in the metadata to clear everything and put the show name as show 1. and changed from home video to tv program. when i added the show again the same thing happened. Appears with no show name. then after a minute it changes the picture again. Ill keep posting updates until its fixed. cheers

Diff b/w creation of Report in Shared folder and in My folder

Dear All,
May i know what's the diff b/w creation of Report in Shared folder and in My folder.
Is there any features changes.
Regards..

Hi,
you can add shared folders to roles and so give users assigned to this role the permission to use the reports in that folder. Reports and folders in My Folders are not sharable.

Hi!
I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?

Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege

TS5174 We have iPhotos in a shared folder. When my partner tries to view some photos(not all) they flash open, then disappear. This doesn't happen when I log in and open them. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

We have iPhotos in a shared folder so both my pertner and I can access the pictures.
Recently, when my partner tries to open some of the more recent pictures, they open briefly, then disappear. This doesn't happen with all of them, and there doesn't seem to be any link between those that do, and those that don't.
When I try to open them, they open with no problem, and remain open until I close them.
Has anyone any solutions, please?
Thanks.

A shared folder is not sufficient to share an iPhoto library. When you open the library from your account, the ownership and permissions of library items changes.
The safest way to share a library is to put it onto a separate disk or disk partition with the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag set. See this document on how to achieve this:

How to set restriction on shared folder to copy or move images and videos

Hi,
I am using windows server 2008 for file sharing, it's simple folder sharing and there is no additional roles added and not promoted as file server.
Users have permissions to access folder and they can put data on shared folder but I want to restrict user that they can not copy any images and video on it.
Need urgent help to stop copying images and videos on shared folder.

If you need to restrict only certain types of files, then file screening is what you need. Windows Server 2012 R2 comes with a powershell module for FSRM, so you can script configuration of file screening.
The code will look like the following (this is only an example):
New-FsrmFileGroup -Name "Images and Videos" –IncludePattern @("*.jpg", "*.mpg", "*.avi", "*.tif", "*.mp4", "*.mov")
$Notification = New-FsrmAction -Type Email -MailTo "[Admin Email];[File Owner]" -Subject “Warning: attempted to create a video or image file” -Body “You attempted to create a video or image file on a share that does not allow storage of this type of files.” -RunLimitInterval 120
New-FsrmFileScreen -Path "C:\Shares\FileShare1" –IncludeGroup "Images and Videos" -Notification $Notification -Active
