Personal File Sharing Quites when trying to connect

Everytime I try to connect from another mac to my G5 the personal file sharing unchecks and blocks the connection. Firewall is off.

Okay I did it and then repaired permissions and this is what it changed:
group is 501
Owner and group corrected on ./Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
Permissions corrected on ./Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
User differs on ./Library/Preferences/com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist, should be 0, owner is 501
Permissions differ on ./Library/Preferences/com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist, should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are -rwxrwxrwx
Owner and group corrected on ./Library/Preferences/com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist
Permissions corrected on ./Library/Preferences/com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist
The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
It only did stuff on that file and the -rw-rw stuff is that read write? because i don't want it changing that?

  • Personal File Sharing Quits - Help!  I have a deadline!!

    I'm having problems with personal file sharing. I have two macs, both dual 2GHz G5s. Computer 1 has all of the work files on it, and when computer 2 tries to connect, it shuts down personal file sharing! Computer 1 can connect to computer 2, but not the other way around.
    Can someone please help. As usual I have a deadline and I need this solved asap.
    Thanks
    PS. I'm using os x v10.4.6 Which I installed yesterday. After I installed that update, file sharing worked fine. Now, after I restarted again today, suddenly file sharing keeps shutting down.

    I seem to have got it working again. I used a program called Xupport to repair the permissions and do some other system maintenance, and now everything is working again.
    carry on...

  • Screen Sharing crashes when trying to connect.

    I'm on my MacBookPro (10.6.6).
    When I try to connect to my desktop (10.6.8) (from clicking the Share Screen button in finder) I get the "enter name and password" box. When I enter the info, I get a crash "Screen Sharing closed unexpectedly" and then I'm left with the "enter name and password" dialog with a spinning "connecting" status floating above my screen forever (killing the finder does nothing to it).
    The macbook connects to my G5 running 10.5.8 with no problem. The G5 connects to both macbook and other desktop fine. The other desktop connects to the macbook and G5 fine.
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Try and create a new standard user account on the MBP, and check if you can connect from this one. If so, something's wrong on your current account. You might consider migrating from the old to the new one, and delete the former after that.
    If you can't connect at all, go to System Preferences, disable file sharing, then go to /Library/Preferences, locate the com.apple.preferences.sharing plist file, and relocate it on your Desktop (admin password required). Reboot your Mac, relaunch/enable file sharing, and let your system create a new com.apple.preferences.sharing plist file.

  • Old FCP file unexpectedly quitting when trying to reconnect offline media

    An old project that I transfered from one computer to my new mac pro is not working.
    When I open the FCP file it asks me to choose a scaling quality. Either: Normal, Fastest, or best. I have tried all three (with the same result.)
    Next it says 152 media files are offline and 28 render files are offline. I kept all these files in the same folder when I transfered the project to my new computer, so I thought I would simply reconnect them. I click "reconnect," search for the first file, find it, and click it. As soon as I click the name of the file, not "choose," just the name of the media file, FCP unexpectedly quits. I click report and send the automatic message to Apple. It is really long, but if you want I can post that message. If any one has any ideas or could offer some help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot for your time!
    Peace,
    Andrew

    Let me know if this isn't right or if you want the first part, or what follows this. Thanks a lot!

  • File system error when trying to connect to a network share

    I am trying to set up a BB Curve (9350) to access a network share (Applications/Files/GoTo) and am getting a message "File system error".  It does not ask for user/domain/password.  I have this working on another BB Curve.  When it works, it prompts for User Name, Domain, and Password.  Is there a setting on the BES that allows some phones to access the network, but not others?
    Thank you.
    JerryK

    Sometimes the devices can get pushed additional policies on accident basically, I would call the carrier first so you guys don't get charged for support and have them transfer you over to blackberry tech support.  If you have access to the server and the device they might be able to figure out whats goin on.

  • Personal File Sharing between Remote Networks

    Trying to connect my Mac (OS 10.4.9) in one state to a Mac in another state (OS 10.3.9). I am connected to the internet via Airport. Second Mac is connected to the internet via DSL modem. With file sharing turned on, on both computers, and firewalls turned off (System Preferences: Sharing: Firewall Off), neither computer can connect to either computer via Personal File Sharing (I went to Go: Connect to server... Then entered the correct IP address).
    Also, have not been able to use my computer as an FTP server (System Preferences: Sharing: FTP Access On) such that the second computer can connect via Cyberduck (FTP client software).
    I know little about all this, but in my research over the last two days I am unsure why my efforts have not worked (for either Personal File Sharing or FTP connections). the following two Support pages on Personal File Shariing have not worked for me:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107369

    What is a NAT router? Your suggestion to use a file
    storage service as an alternative sounds like it
    might be a good idea for me. It's just that the Apple
    Support articles made file sharing sound so simple
    (i.e. "This allows Macintosh computers in remote
    locations to share files with any type of Internet
    connection").
    This is like saying the Interstate highway system makes it easy to drive from one city to another. It's true, but you need to know something about driving first. Similarly, you need to know something about Internet traffic.
    To continue with the highway analogy, let's say your data is like a car. Actually, it's a packet with addressing information inside. The key addresses are source and destination IP addresses. When inside your town, or LAN, it's got local addresses. Maybe your computer is 10.1.1.2 and your printer is 10.1.1.3 and a car destined from your computer to your printer has a source of 10.1.1.2 and a destination of 10.1.1.3. This is like saying take a left at Main Street.
    But there are maybe millions of Main Streets. Where this all changes is where we go out to the Interstate, or global Internet. Your router is your gateway to this traffic. It has two interfaces, one side talks to your locality and it has a number like 10.1.1.1, and another side which talks to the global Internet and might have a number like 71.126.45.113. As your car goes through this router, it's source number changes to become that of the router (71.126.45.113). This is so it can find its way back, and others can follow. The local address has no meaning out here. When it (or rather another car) returns, the router swaps the addresses back and sends it to the local network. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
    Now, the problem you find is that you can reach the destination router, and what you want is to get to another machine in that locality, but there is no local destination. You get to the toll booth at the end of the Interstate, but the toll taker doesn't know where you want to go. This is where ports come in. Your car has a number which corresponds to a service. In this case, the port is 548 and the services is Apple Filing Protocol over TCP. The toll taker know this. "Oh yes, Mrs. Johnson on First Street handles afpovertcp. Take a left on Main Street." This is called port-forwarding. You set the router to send requests for port 548 to the machine you want shared.
    Another possibility would be to disable NAT. This has some drawbacks. If you have more than one machine, you may violate your contract with your ISP. You also open yourself up to certain attacks and need to be much more careful. There's another possibility called DMZ, but that's like disabling NAT for one machine.
    I hope this clarifies things. You need to use the addresses of the routers, and forward the ports you wish to use. There's one more consideration: unless you have static IP addresses, those are likely to change. You can use a service like www.dyndns.com to use a host/domain name to connect your machines. It's free and easy.

  • Airport extreme personal file sharing

    Hello,
    I just installed an airport extreme and it won't let me enable port forwarding to port 548 (personal file sharing). When I try I get an exclamation mark and I can't save the configuration. I'm certain this port is not being forwarded to any other device. I've successfully set up forwarding for other ports.
    On another note, can anyone tell me how to use the remote configure option. What address or port would I query to access the router (airport extreme) remotely?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Test from a real WAN connection.. not a loop around via vpn. as it is hard to know where the problem is.. is it the vpn or the port forwarding.
    Also it is hard to test from ipad as the only effective protocol to use is AFP on 548 and ipad is not able to do it.
    Read Tesserax info on remote access.

  • Personal File Sharing: Lost Connection

    I'm trying to use my new miniStack external HD attached via Firewire to my Mac mini as a pseudo network drive. In other words, I want that drive available to my mini and my two iBooks. If I can get that working, I'd like it available to my XP box as well.
    I have wireless internet via an Airport Express and cable modem throughout the house. All four computers are attached via wireless cards.
    I've turned on personal file sharing on the mini using my administrator log in. I've also activated AppleTalk via the Airport settings in the Network preference settings.
    I've also activated AppleTalk on my iBook and turned on personal file sharing.
    All my Macs are running the latest version of OS X (10.4.7).
    I restarted both machines after making the above setting selections. I then used the Finder on my iBook to search for the mini. I clicked on the Network icon, found 'servers', 'library', and the following folders: "home" which has my XP box readily accessible, "My Network" and "Workgroup". Each of these last has an icon for my mini.
    When I double click on my Mini, it shows me all volumes on it, including my miniStack. I select one to connect to and get a beach ball followed by an error message saying "Server Connection Interupted: miniStack" and a single button marked 'disconnect'.
    After I press the disconnect button (my only choice) I notice that personal file sharing on my mini is now turned off.
    This exact same thing happens when I try to access the native internal HD on my mini so it isn't just the external stack that's the problem.
    I've searched high and low through the fora here and can't find anything addressing this.
    Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks and take care,
    Jeff

    After much trial and error, I finally resorted to doing a Archive and Install on my mini. After doing so, everything works great. I still have no clue what the problem was but I now have no interest in finding out since it's working great.
    Of note, the lost connection problem was unidirectional. I had no difficulties logging onto and accessing anything on either of my iBooks from my mini. Just the other way around.
    Take care,
    Jeff

  • I keep getting error code 3212 when trying to connect to home sharing.. i am connected to the internet

    i keep getting error code 3212 when trying to connect to home sharing.. i am connected to the internet

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Personal File Sharing Connection Timing Out

    I'm having trouble personal file sharing connecting to one computer in my office. All the others work just fine and I can retrieve files and all. Oddly the computer that I can't read can connect to me.
    When I try and connect, I go to the Network, I can see her computer, I double click it and get the following message:
    Contacting xx.xx.xx.xx
    Timeout in 120 seconds
    And then it counts down the seconds and eventually nothing happens. I went into her System settings and checked and everything (that I know to check) is on and the IP address is the same one that is showing in my dialog box.
    Any ideas?

    Several restarts later and it is still doing it. I can connect to others, but this one machine doesn't want to go. Anybody?

  • Personal File Sharing Turns off after an attempt to connect from other comp

    I have personal file sharing turned on on my MacBook and when I attempt to connect to it from my iMac I get a typical logon windows and extended delay and then the message that the Server Connection was Interrupted. When I check Personal File Sharing on the MacBook it has been turned off even though I have locked the settings.
    The problem exist whether I use my local Wireless LAN (Apple-N) or an ethernet connection. In both cases the MacBook the ethernet connection is with the a port on the Apple N wireless LAN

    It may be solved for you, but I just discovered that since upgrading to 10.4.11 I can no longer connect to any of my other Macs. When I click on network NOTHING shows up in the Finder.
    While I'm happy to grab random code posted by an unknown person and stick it in my system, I shouldn't have to. Clearly Whatever the update did to your Mac it did to my MacBook as well and most likely others. If this is the official fix for the problem, Apple needs to acknowledge it and offer a link to the file rather than relying on fix-it forums to solve their problems.
    Apple seriously needs to test these updates a little more thoroughly before they make them available. I KNOW you are supposed to back everything up before you do it, yada, yada, yada ... but Apple has basically made the Software update feature an automatic function as if it is the best thing for your computer ... clearly that is not always the case.

    When was the last time you did any of the following?
    Restart your computer?
    Repaired Permission & restarted your computer?
    Run "Repair Disk" from your install DVD?

    Now getting FaceTime failed message when trying to connect with a person that were connecting successfully with up unto two weeks ago, has something changed?

  • Personal file sharing: file copying broken from/to imported account?

    I have an iMac G5 with two user accounts A and B ; and a MacBook Pro with two user accounts A' (imported from A with the migration assistant) and C.
    Personal file sharing, FTP and SMB are enabled on both machines. The firewall is disabled. Permissions, as well as the Keychain have been repaired.
    When I am logged as A' on the MBP, and when I connect to the iMac with the username/password of A, I can't copy files from A' to A : I get the following error message [The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items]. However, a 0-byte file is created on A'. The same problem occurs from A to A'.
    This problem drives me crazy because :
    - I can read and delete any file in A' from A (and vice-versa). Only copy and modification doesn't work.
    - I can copy files from A to C, A' to B, C to A, B to A'.
    - FTP sharing between A and A' does work.
    Someone got the problem solved by re-creating his account and re-importing all his data, but I absolutely want to avoid that. I'm sure there can be a simpler solution...
    It appeared to me that the only reason why AFP copy doesn't work between A and A' is that A' was imported from A. It seems also that a common broken preference/setting is not the source of the problem, since sharing works from/to any other account (and well, re-creating the account couldn't solve the problem as it would re-set the broken settings).
    I would like to know which information is used to determine user privileges when copying from one machine to another...
    A strange thing I noticed is that both A and A' have the same generateduid (which is thus not "unique") - could it be the source of the problem?
    If you have two machines with one account imported from one machine to another, can you check whether Personal file sharing with this account works? I love understanding why stuff doesn't work.
    Thanks!

    Here are the results of a few more experiments... Something is definitely broken with those two user accounts, but I'd like to know why, and how it got broken
    I have replaced the names of the accounts/machines by more meaningful identifiers.
    From the MBP, trying to access Account_B on the iMac:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mkdir test
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mount -t afp afp://accountB:*****@iMac/accountB test
    mount_afp: the mount flags are 0000 the altflags are 0020
    MBP:~ account_A'$ ls -l test
    total 0
    drwx------ 29 account_A' account_A' 942 Nov 8 22:28 Desktop
    drwx------ 14 account_A' account_A' 432 Sep 24 23:47 Documents
    (And I can copy whatever I want in test)
    Now trying to access Account_A:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mkdir test
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mount -t afp afp://accountA:*****@iMac/accountA test
    mount_afp: the mount flags are 0000 the altflags are 0020
    MBP:~ account_A'$ ls -l test
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x 23 501 501 738 Aug 26 00:03 Code
    drwx------ 13 501 501 398 Nov 8 13:10 Desktop
    (I can't copy to test here)
    501 is the uid of account_A (on the iMac). (The uid of account_A' is 503).
    Same stuff through SMB:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mkdir test
    MBP:~ account_A'$ mount -t smbfs //accountA@iMac/accountA test
    Password:
    MBP:~ account_A'$ ls -l test
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x 1 account_A' account_A' 16384 Aug 26 01:03 Code
    drwxr-xr-x 1 account_A' account_A' 16384 Nov 8 13:10 Desktop
    (In this case, it works)
