PC does not see Mac on network

I can see my PC shared folders on the Mac but the PC does not see my shared folders on the Mac, in fact it does not see the Mac at all.
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

System Prefs --> Sharing --> File Sharing --> Options --> Share Files and Folders with SMB
Then choose which user you want to allow access.

  • HP DJ4645 scanner does not see Mac OS 10 Maverick and computer does not see scanner

    HP DJ4645 scanner does not see Mac OS 10 Maverick and computer does not see scanner.
    I installed drivers and software from the HP website. Printer works fine but scaner does not work over WiFi. I did not try over USB because printer and computer are not in same room.

    Hi @mamedina ,
    I see that you are not able to scan over the wireless network. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Deskjet 4645)
    If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    I have provided a document to make sure the Scan to Computer is enabled. You will have to select 10.8, then Network Connection. A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays When Scanning for HP Officejet 4610 ...
    If you are still not able to scan, then I would connect the printer to the computer by a USB cable to see if it is a network issue or  the scan port might be blocked on the router. Unfortunately the printer isn't accessible in the same room, but this will rule out a software issue or a network issue. You can contact the router company to check and open these ports 9220/9500/427 on the router for scanning.
    Please let me know the outcome.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else.

  • Satelite A30 does not see any other network devices in WLan

    I recently bought a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card, i've installed it and managed to get it to recognise my broadband but it does not see any other network devices. I was not supplied with any drivers or software to operate the card (I bought it from a proper dealer). Can you recommend downloads that would run this card?
    I have a Satelite A30 laptop 1gb ram 60GB HDD.
    Also large files sometimes stop transfering (hangs)when using my USB connection. The usb controller is using microsoft driver 5.1.2600.0 dated 1 june 2002.
    Is this a driver problem?

    Hi
    If the WLan card is properly installed so you have only not configured you settings.
    I dont know which devices in the broadband you mean but usually if you want to communicate or transfer files between notebooks through the WLan so all computers must be in the same domain or workgroup.
    I cannot give you a proper answer but only a suggestion. I have red that sometimes a lower power could be responsible for such issue. Try to disable the option Power safe in the USB root hub properties in the device manager.

  • New computer does not see others on network

    I have a home office network with 3 computers on a WRT110.  One laptop is connected wirelessly.  When installing a new laptop (which will replace one w/ a bad video) it connects immediately (when using hard wire connection) thru the router to the internet but does not see the other computers nor do they see it.  I don't see any option to make a connection disk in the WRT110 manual or software.

    Make sure File and Printer Sharing is Enabled...Also make sure both the computer's are in the same workgroup...
    The default workgroup name in Windows Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP. In WindowsXP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...
    Also go into the computer software firewall on each computer, and set it to "trust" the other computers on your network.
    If your firewall or PC security program keeps a list of trusted applications (also known as a "trusted zone"), then make sure that your router is in the trusted zone on your firewall...

  • HT4628 My MacBook Air does not see my wireless network

    My iPhone and iPad Mini see the network and connect with no problem. However the MacBook Air doesn't see the network. I tried adding it manually and it still does not recognize the network. Any ideas what I can do to resolve this issue?

    I am having the same problem and it is still not coming up supposed to be plug and play and Mac friendly?

  • Momento Device Does Not See AirPort Extreme Network

    Hello all. I have a 7" iMate Momento (for streaming pictures from the Web, RSS feeds, etc.) I just bought. It is not meant to work with Macintosh computers however it is supposed to work with 802.11b/g compatible radio mode. (I have the AirPort Utility v.5.3.1 set for 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) mode.
    Here's the problem: the AirPort Utility v. 5.3.1 has no plain vanilla "WPA". I currently have "Wireless Security" set to "WPA/WPA2 Personal" because there is no "WPA" setting. I discovered on line that this Momento device will not work with "hybrid" settings which is what "WPA/WPA2 Personal" is, it seems.
    The Momento device claims to support WEP and WPA-PSK (what happened to this Apple setting?) but neither has worked when I used "WPA/WPA2 Personal" or "WEP (Transitional Security Network)" from the AirPort Utility v. 5.3.1.
    The next thing I tried was allowing "Access" to the MAC address of the Momento device from the AirPort Utility. No good.
    I checked to make sure I was sending the SSID "in the clear" and, indeed, I am as other devices see the network perfectly so I do not have a closed network selected.
    Now to make sure the Momento device was working properly I set "Wireless Security" to NONE and bam! the network shows up and I can stream photos I uploaded to the MomentoLive site to the device just fine (after having set up a free account with them and activating things).
    Now I obviously do not want to not have security for my network. Do any of your see a way this device can coexist with my Apple Extreme 802.11n network? Why their WEP and Apple's and their WPA-PSK and my Apple WPA/WPA2 Personal settings cannot play nice is beyond me.
    Might Mac OS X 10.5.3 address these types of issues? I know the 802.11n "standard" is in flux and maybe that affects 802.11b/g compatibility as well however that may all be working fine as it seems to be the Wireless Security settings on AirPort Utility 5.3.1 don't like their Momento counterparts.
    It seems that these devices should be able to talk with each other without having to display all security!
    If anyone has any workarounds or other solutions - or explanations of what I'm encountering, I'd love to hear from you.
    Thanks!

    You are correct in that there is not a "WPA Personal" option, only "WPA/WPA2 Personal" or "WPA2 Personal". As for WEP, in addition to "WEP (Transitional Security Network)," there still exists the options for either "WEP 40 bit" or "WEP 128 bit" ... but is is somewhat hidden.
    These are available when operating in any of the following radio modes:
    o 802.11b only
    o 802.11b/g compatible
    o 802.11g only, or
    o 802.11a
    To access these modes, you just need to hold down the <Option> key when making your selection.

  • Airport on computer does not see any wifi networks

    Airport worked fine until recently and worked fine when I installed new OS a while back. I can see no wifi networks including my Airport Express. My other Mini sees it and others as well as my MacBook so it seems to be an issue with that computer.
    Sometimes I can log into my network by choosing Join Other Network but sometimes it doesn't work like now. Earlier today I logged in in this method and then it dropped out and I haven't been able to connect again. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?

    Yes, I had thought of that too. Just wanted to avoid buying another card without being sure of the problem.
    I've now tried setting up two routers to the 5GHz band, and sure enough, they both work and their wifis are picked by the macmini. All the other wifi networks I see around my house seem to be 54g.
    So it seems that only the b/g part of the macmini's wifi card is broken, while the n part is working properly. Do you know if this is possible or if there is a configuration in the macmini that is forcing it to only use the 802.11N?
    Thanks for your help anyway!

  • IBook G4 Airport Extreme does not see any SSID

    Hi,
    My iBook 1,2 Ghz has been working great for several years now.
    I am working with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) for quite some time
    and it never let me down. I connect to the internet using an Airport Express
    connected to a speedtouch router.
    The Airport Express Card in my iBook always found 6 or 7 SSID's of other
    Wireless Networks in my neighbourhood and it used to login automatically on
    my Airport Express wireless wetwork station.
    Last week it suddenly stopped working correctly.
    After starting OS X on my laptop the little Airport icon in the upper bar faded out grey.
    When I click it it says it can't find any networks.
    I checked all my settings, downgraded my Airport Extensions
    and even installed a spare (refurbished) Airport Extreme Card.
    Even with another Airport Extreme Card it does not see any wireless networks.
    My other macs, a unibody MacBook Pro and white MacBook work fine with the Airport Express.
    What could be wrong? Am I overlooking something here? Can somebody help me out?
    How can i get my Airport Express/iBook G4 connected to my wireless network again?

    Hi Elko,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I re-installed the original Airport Extreme card into the slot again.
    But now i pushed it harder than the first time. (just like you said)
    I noticed the second click, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
    Both Airport Cards (the original and the new) were installed correctly.
    I also checked the antenna connection but that is seated o.k. too.
    After re-installing the card, i booted into Mac OS X Tiger and checked the ASP.
    It says a Airport Extreme Card is installed with firmware version 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p.18)
    and the langauge version is international/worldwide. So far, so good.
    Nevertheless the airport card does still not find any wireless networks or SSID's after
    scanning multiple times. (Location on automatic)
    I am planning an upgrade to Leopard today. Maybe that's gonna help, since there were some Airport Extreme updates in Leopard. If that's not the solution, I will stay with your other suggestion and buy me a nice USB dongle.
    Do you have any idea what type of dongles work best with Leopard? I have seen some different models, but a lot of dongles require third-party software to make it work and are not automatically recognized by OS X.

  • My Time Capsule's 5GHz network does not appear as a network any longer. Airport utility is 5.5.3 and iMAC is 10.7.1 The TC appears to be configured correctly in the utility screen.

    My Time Capsule's, only the 5GHz network, does not appear as a network any longer. Airport utility is 5.5.3 and iMAC is 10.7.1 The TC appears to be configured correctly in the utility screen. This began sometime after upgrade to 10.7.1 however this does not explain why either of my iPAD's does not see the 5GHz network.

    Wish some Apple folks would chime in...
    Apple is not here. Even if they might rarely monitor these boards, they will not respond. We're all users, just like you.
    Suggest that you open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Click the Wireless Options button
    Check one more time to see if you still have the 5 GHz Name option enabled. If not, enter a check mark and click Update to save the new settings.
    If 5 GHz is enabled, temporarily disable the setting and Update. Then go back in and enable the setting again.
    If you still cannot "see" the network from any device, about all that you can do at this point is reset the Time Capsule back to factory defaults and try the configuration again to see if it will "take". Lion is causing some strange issues, and this may be another.
    If this is not successful, then it's time to contact Apple support or arrange a visit to an Apple store to let them take a look

  • I am trying to install a second airport express to extend my network. When I use the aiport utility it does not see the second airport express.

    I am trying to install a second airport express to extend my network. When I use the aiport utility it does not see the second airport express.

    Suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset as follows:
    Pull the Express from power
    Wait a few moments
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it an additonal 8-10 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart
    Apple's instructions to do what you want are here:
    It will often help to temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to the AirPort Express for the setup. Once the Express is configured, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable and move the Express to the desired location.

    Although an AirPort Extreme is shown as the extending device in the example, the setup for an AirPort Express is exactly the same

  • Airport network form time capsule does not see airport express

    Hello,
    I'm rather new, bought my first apple few days ago, it's great. Have been throwing away years by using the blue screen machines
    I now have mac mini, today i bought time capsule and an airport express.
    time capsule to make my network and the airport express to connect my stereo.
    Important: I have no internet connection yet, it will be installed in 10 days.
    for now i use a mobile phone connection on the mac mini.
    I installed time capsule. time machine works and airport is in the air.
    With airport utility i can see the time capsule, but nothing else.
    it has been there for a short time, but then time capsule was gone.
    i can not find the utility to start installing airport express all over. Maybe i gave the wrong WPA2 password with the first install, but can not find the software to try again.
    I placed the a.expr within 1 meter of time capsule for this test.
    led of time capsule is green, led of a.expr is amber blinking.
    I did a reset of the a.express, no response.
    I downloaded the latest a.express client, no difference.
    airport is still on. it does not see the a.express.
    how to proceed?
    Is it only possible ONCE to setup a.express the right way? I remember answering questions which i can not find anymore.
    Sorry for the long story,
    hope you can help,
    Rik

    oh oh oh oh........ :O
    Found it.... before i connected the a.express with time capsule by a wire....does not help!
    Solution is to make this wire connection between a.express and mac, then it's possible to reconfigure.
    After this wire everything worked in 5 minutes.
    Anyway.... thanks for reading...

  • Verizon FIOS Network does not see Airport Express

    I recently upgraded to Verizon FIOs and they replaced my Airport Extreme Base Station an Actiontek wireless router. The new Router does not see my 2 Airport express wireless stations that I use for ITunes broadcasting. I tried a hard reset of the basestations with no luck.
    I also tried to connect the old Airport Express into the ActionTek. It sees the Express stations but will not connect to the internet (Although I set up for a DHCP connection, it dtill serches for a PPPoE host)
    The Verizon FIOs tech support is of no help.
    Please help!!!!!!!

    You will need to reconfigure your 2 AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network provided by the ActionTek.
    OR... If you want to replace the ActionTek with your AX, it appears that you will need to ask Verizon to change to the Ethernet MAC address from the MAC address of the ActionTek. Several people have reported that this is necessary.
