Printer not showing up in "shared folder"

Hello everyone:
Have B&W G3 when using under 10.2.8 printer( HP 4m) attached thru combo of ethernet/appletalk using asante bridge the printer shows up under "shared printer" and can be accessed thru my wireless network. When I upgraded to 10.3.9 the HP 4m printer does not show up in the "shared printer" folder but shows up only in B&W G3 printer folder and can only be used printer from B&W G3. To gain network access to the HP 4m I have to reboot my B&W G3 back into 10.2.8. ? Any solutions. Thanx
Margie

That's great that everything is working for you, and I do appreciate your following this thread and your help. I too work in a print design environment with 5 G5's and 1 20" iMac all running 10.4.6. Like your office, everything works well. These machines have been on the bleeding edge of both Adobe and Apples' updates, and rarely have problems... Unfortunately, this is not the case for my powerbook, which is why I continue to post this question. My very un-scientific theory is that all of the machines that can print were setup while they were running earlier versions of tiger or panther, however, my PB was not. coincidence?
Anyway, since this is clearly an issue with Tiger and/or it's installation, is my next step an archive and install? How about the work around with deleting the printing preferences, etc. and re-installing from the dvd? Any potential ill effects from going these routes?
Do you, or anyone else following along, know if this is something Apple will address in 10.5? No disrespect intended, but take a look around this printing forum... it seems that most of these problems are similar in nature involving windows printing. just my 2 cents.

Files not showing up in shared folder

I am in a network environment (8 G5 imacs and a G4 Power Mac Server) The G5's are running OSX 10.3.9 and the G4 Sever is running Max OSX Sever10.3. Two of the G5 imacs need to unmount the shared folder and remount to see new content placed in the folder from others. For example: Someone places a Quark file in the shared folder, everyone else can see it right away. The other two need to trash (eject) the shared folder, then reconnect to it to see that Quark document. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to why this is happening or possible fixes?

I'm not sure if this is a fix for you, but I've solved a lot of my networking issues by using a freeware program called SharePoints. Maybe it would help?

Adding shared printers? Network printer not showing up in list

I have a network printer not showing up in the Bonjour Printer Wizard. There is not a place to add a printer to this list. Does my network printer need to be installed under the Windows side as well, or can I share it using Bonjour? I'm confused as to how the shared printer program works. Also, my Adobe "print to pdf" option shows up as a printer, but how do I change the file destination location? It doesn't give me an option to change the "saved to" location. I am using these printers through Parallels in AutoCad, and that should be the only reason I will need to share printers. But I am in AutoCad a good deal of time, so I need to know how to quickly print my drawings.

Welcome to the forums!
You don't say if you installed after downloading the Printer you deleted, but I suspect it's one not showing, and that you need to reinstall.

Network devices not showing up under "shared" in finder bar

Ok so i have a network that consists of a maxtor nas device, 2 win xp pc's, 1 win7 pc, d-link 524 router, and my macbook pro. I would like to be able to transfer files between my mac and the devices and use the printer attached to my maxtor. My issue is that none of the computers show up under the "shared" section of finder or under network. I use to have this issue with leopard but it resolved itself. Now under snow leopard for a couple months and i have yet to get it work. I can access my mac and other pcs from a pc. Anyone know how to get my network to show up on my mac?

Your problem is very common under Snow. At first my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.

TS3276 After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder for one of my accounts.

After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder?

Are you storing Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server via your .Mac account with Mail?
If so, do you access your .Mac account with an email client on another computer or regularly access your account via webmail on another computer?
If not, any other reason you need to store Drafts and Sent messages on the server?
While composing a message with Mail, it is temporarily saved in the account's Drafts mailbox so sounds like something went wrong with the process between finishing and sending the message with Drafts and Sent being stored on the server.
If you don't have any need for this, better to store Drafts and Sent messages locally on the hard drive with Mail.

My purchased music not showing in the purchased folder

I have purchased muisc and movies and they are not showing in my purchased folder, have only 8 songs showing as purchased. However, the purchased items are in my music library.
Thanks

Did you recently hide your purchases?
If you did, try unhiding your purchases, as e4joker suggests here -> Re: Unable to see purchased music in purchased folder
To unhide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in.
    Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
    On your Account Information summary, scroll down to the "iTunes in the Cloud" section and click Manage.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
    Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.

USB shared printer not showing up in 10.5.8 default list

Ugh - so I've spent half a day Googling and reading stuff but so far - no joy. I'm trying to print to a Brother HL-5240 printer connected via USB to a G4 Power Mac running 10.5.8 (I could print from all my machines when everything was running 10.4.11 - this is why I put off upgrading ... ) - and here's the rub:
- printer sharing is turned 'on' on that host G4 server that the printer is directly connected to via USB
- a 2.1GHz G5 iMac running 10.5.8 on my network (LAN) sees the printer when I go to add a printer from sys prefs and it shows up in the default list - I can print to it
- a G4 1.5GHz PB (wi-fi), a G5 2.0GHz DP Power Mac (LAN) and an Intel Mac Mini (LAN) all running 10.5.8 cannot see the printer - it doesn't show up in the default list on any of those machines
- I have installed the drivers (both CUPS and PostScript) directly from Brother's site, along w/ an update also from Brother's site on all machines
- I tried to run the firmware update from Brother's site but it informed me my HL-5240 has the most up-to-date firmware so it was not needed
- when I plug the printer into USB on my G4 PB mentioned above to test, the G4 Power Mac host server can see it - but not the other way around (???)
I am frustrated out of my mind and totally stumped. If it didn't work at all, that'd be one thing - but that a G5 iMac can see and print to it perfectly, but none of my other machines (G4, G5 and Intel) can is *%$&#^$ messed up (that and how it worked plugged in to my PB but not the other way around) - so it's clearly being shared OK by the G4 Power Mac server. But why can only one of four machines see and print to it?
Any suggestions would be über-awesome - Terminal commands, whatever. I just want to be able to print - blasted 10.5 ...
cheers

What happens when you click onto "Finder" at the top left corner of the screen and choose "Preferences"? Do you see servers connected to? anything missing there? maybe fiddle around with those general settings?
You can also just ctrl-click on the shared folder in finder and make an alias. That's the way i'd do it.

Shared printer not showing in list

My husband and I both have mac g4's, connected over usb network. We both recently updated to 10.48. The printer is connected to usb hub on with his printer. Everything was fine til we updated operating systems. Now the printer stopped showing in my printer listing. It prints when connected directly to either computer. Did everything manual and books said about printer sharing. Both downloaded latest drivers. It's an HP Photosmart 3200.
Thanks!

g4 mirror Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Kathy,
Generally the updates affect the permissions on files, so that is why the Repair Disk Permissions can resolve printing problems.
Given that you are using TCP/IP to connect to each other, then you would be using the same protocol to view and connect to the shared printer. What you can do next is open the CUPS printer page of your computer to see if the shared printer is visible. Do the following;
1. Open your Internet browser, such as Safari.
2. For the address, type
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
and hit Enter.
This should show the printers installed on your computer and the printers shared on his Mac (Tamo). If it doesn't show his shared printer, type the following;
http://ipaddress:631/printers/sharename
Note that you need to replace ip_address with the IP address of your husbands Mac (Tamo) and 'shared_printer' with the shared name of the printer. So the address should look something like this;
http://192.168.44.47:631/printers/HP3200
If you are not sure of the shared name you can check this by clicking on Network Preferences > Print & Fax > Sharing.
Doing the above in the browser should make the CUPS page for the shared HP appear. If it does then we are a step closer in working this out.
Let me know how you go...
Regards,
Paul

Purchased film on iPad but its not showing on Home sharing after downloading to iTunes?

Hi all, I have recently purchasd Men In Black from itunes using my iPad 2 and downloaded it to my Mac. However when i went to watch it on Apple TV 2 its no where to be seen. I've checked the movie folder and its there above Men In Black 2, its still on my iPad and plays ok and it also plays ok on my Mac. What I don't understand is:
1. Why can't I see the film on Apple TV 2 despite it being in the same folder as my other movies?
2. Why doesn't the film show up when i plug my iPhone 4 in to put it on there?
3. The film doesn't show up on my iPad 2 when plugged into iTunes either even though its already on the device?
The only difference I can see is that the file is .ite and not .m4v , but then wheres the file i downloaded to my ipad or have I just wasted my money on a film with limtied sharing on my own account?
Cheers

Hi OP
Did this sort your problem? I have the same one too. Purchased tracks on my iPad not showing up on MBP or iPhone. Itunes wants to charge me for it againa dn again!
Anyone?

Bought new iMac & moved (or thought I had) all of my music from the old PC to the new iMac. Have discovered several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac itunes Shared folder. How do I move them all so I can then & retire the old PC?

From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

The File Explorer does not show links in the folder structure on a computer

Dear all,
My general issue is that, when I connect my Z10 (SW release 10.2.1.2102) via USB, the File Explorer shows some folders from the connected PC. It does not list folders that are links on the computer.
A lot of those links are duplicates in a different language (because of the multilingual version of Windows 7). My particular issue is that I had to move my Documents folder to another disc and created a hardlink to that folder on the primary SSD disc. Now, this link does not show up at all in the File Explorer on my Z10 device.
Anybody knows a workaround, please? Maybe it exists another file manager similar to that one by BB, which could do that...
Thanks for reading!
Cheers,

Sharing a website on your computer
You can use the Apache web server software included with Mac OS X to host a website on your computer. Before doing so, you should already know how to create HTML pages and build websites.
To host a website on your computer:
Use the HTML editor of your choice to create your website. For your site’s homepage, use the filename “index.html” so that web browsers can locate and open it automatically.
Put all of your website’s pages, graphics, and any media files in your home directory’s Sites folder.The existing index.html page will be replaced with your new index.html page.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select the Web Sharing checkbox.
To view webpages you put in your Sites folder:
Open a web browser and go to http://your.computer.address/~yourusername/.
To find your computer’s address, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then select Web Sharing. The address is displayed in the window.
For “yourusername,” use your account name, and make sure you include the ending slash (/). To find your account name, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accounts, and then select your account in the list.
You can also share a website on your computer by placing files in /Library/WebServer/Documents on your hard disk. To place files there, you must be logged in as an administrator. To view these pages, open a web browser and go to http://your.computer.address.

[SOLVED] Printer not showing up in print options but working (CUPS)

I am using Lexmark X1270 and have got it working via CUPS web interface (printed test page and all), but even after restarting CUPS daemon and rebooting, it does not show up in File > Print in any apps like Firefox, Openoffice, etc. All I see in the print is "Print to file," no printer shows up.

Apple TV Purchases Backed Up In Itunes But Will Not Show In Home Sharing On Ipad

This problem is bizzare.
Basically I have had Apple TV for a while but really only made some purchases from the interface on the TV the other day. (Besides Rentals)
Normally I buy the movie directly on my macbook and download it. Then go watch it on my Apple TV.
This time I bought on Apple TV then went to Itunes and downloaded it off the cloud. Any movie I have purchased from the Apple TV will not show up on Home Sharing (Sharing from my Macbook to my Ipad2) Even though it was purchased with the same apple id and the movies are physically downloaded to itunes on the macbook.
If I pull up Sidebar in Itunes 11 and click itunes store and then purchases my movies show up. (That's how I downloaded them to itunes) Although, if I click "purchased" from the Sidebar (Under Itunes Store) the movies purchased from the Apple TV do not show up. It's almost like Apple Tv let me back them up but did not associate them with the itunes account.

I agree with what you're saying. I just bought Skyfall through my Apple TV because it would allow me to download 1080p (my PC wouldn't) and I specifically recall it saying that this media would be sharable...yet when I'm on my iPad Mini it doesn't show up in Videos > Shared along with all my other non-Apple purchases. This doesn't seem right.
I tried copying the m4v file to my desktop, renaming it and tried to then import it back into my iTunes library but it didn't do any action. It must recognize the DRM protection.
I realize now that using my iPad going to iTunes > Purchased I only have the option to download from the cloud, and not to home share it from my PC. I agree that filling up my HD space on my device is not a reasonable solution.
I see it listed in iTunes on my PC and I right-clicked and selected "download 1080p". Now I have the movie file sitting on my hard drive but I still have the same condition.
When I checked "Get Info" it shows up as a "Protected MPEG-4 Video File. I wonder if this has something to do with it. Frankly I find the whole purchase/library system very confusing. I never am sure which device to purchase it with or how it will be sharable. Very frustrating. It should be much simpler across all iOS devices. I think DRM issue have a lot to do with the problem.
