Public folder is not visible over office network

Small office, mixed network of about 8 macs and a pile of PC's. I'm not sure about the pc's but none of the macs can see my shared folder. They can get to my files by logging in as me, but not as guest. Nothing appears in the list of volumes when logging in as guest. Sharing is turned on. The public folder is set to drwxrwxrwx. The drop box is set to drwx-wx-wx. I tried to reassign it using the utility sharepoints, to no avail. Tried to assign it a new sharepoint using NetInfo Manager using this tutorial at macosxhints. and it also failed to accomplish anything. I am at a loss. I think it started happening after I updated to 10.4, but I am not sure, it has been going on for a long while now...
other possibly related wierdness: I show up in the terminal and some other network related places as one of the pc's on the network.
as in:

Well, I'm tapped for now at least, with respect to things that I can remember seeing or reading about having caused this issue in the past. Just to recap to make it easier for anyone else that may see the thread:
The 'shareDir' property has a value of "Public"
The folder "~/Public/" exists
The permissions of "Public" are "777" (the default is 755 but the 'x' on "others" is what is important).
Filevault is not enabled.
Guest Access is enabled and is working because they can log on, just not choose volumes
Users can "see" the "Public" folder of a freshly created account.
The password has been updated to "Tiger" standards.
Since it works for the new accounts, the problem has to be something user specific, but it isn't any of the usual suspects, so I'm baffled. Just in terms of looking for anything unusual, these commands might turn something up (the 'ls' ones are repeated with 'sudo' explicitly to see if "root" sees things differently compared to other users because the AFP server runs as root):<pre>ls -lend ~
ls -lend /Users/username
sudo ls -lend /Users/username
ls -lend /Users/username/Public/
sudo ls -lend /Users/username/Public/
nicl . -read /users/username</pre>Another approach that might turn something up is to try to explicitly mount your "Public" folder from another Mac via the command line to see what errors are generated. For this, you will need an IP address for your computer to be entered in place of where it says "11.22.33.44":<pre>mkdir /Volumes/testguest
mount_afp afp://11.22.33.44/username /Volumes/testguest
or
mount_afp "afp://;AUTH=No%20User%[email protected]/username" /Volumes/testguest</pre>The other thing is that since the problem appears to be limited to your account, you could skip the troubleshooting and try setting up a "share point" somewhere outside your user's folder, such as in "/Users/Shared". If it works, then hopefully that can be used as a workaround for this most perplexing problem...

New folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer.

I created a new folder under another folder. The new folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer. Also, if I try to add another folder of that same name, it denies the action since the folder (although invisible) already exists. My co-worker can access the same file (on a share drive) and see the new folder just fine. This error occurs whether I was the one creating the new folder or she is the one creating the new folder. I am new to RoboHelp and she has used it for years. I suspect something is not yet set up right on my side. Ideas? (I thought I posted this yesterday but I can't find it anywhere)

Hi there
What version of RoboHelp are you using?
Did you create the folder from inside RoboHelp or did you create it using Windows Explorer?
Cheers... Rick

What does it mean if I get blank text messages from someone but they are not coming from number they appear and disappear they are not coming over the network also emails have been moved around, has my phone been hacked?

I Have been getting blank texts from a number, but the person who owns the niumber is not sending them, they appear then disappear, they are not coming over the network, they come even though number has been black listed, also emails have been moved, I believe by someone who is cyberstalking me but don't know how to prove it, what can I do ?

Hi,
When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
I would contact Apple Support and check with them. (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

HP 932C PRINTER DOES NOT WORK OVER A NETWORK WITH TWO DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS.

I have a 932c HP printer connected via USB to a Windows XP desktop computer (Dell E520), which is part of a home network.
I also have an HP Pavilion dv5 notebook, running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, connected to the same network. This notebook can find the printer over the network. However, when I try to capture the 932c printer, the following dialog box appears:
"The server for the `hp deskjet 930c series` printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipmente manufacturer for the correct printer driver."
When I click OK, another dialog box appears:
"The file `*.INF`on (Unknown) is needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK."
However, I can't find any workable *.inf file in the HP notebook Hard drive (both partitions).
I have already tried to download the driver from the HP website, but it says that Windows Vista already has the driver for such printer! Well, now I'm stucked!
I'd like to point out that the printer works fine if I plug it directly to the HP notebook's USB port. But I want to operate the printer via the home network, keeping it hooked to the Windows XP desktop computer.
How to solve this problem? Thanks.

This is the HP notebook forums. I would recommend posting this in the printer forums for better coverage.

Folder Structure Not Visible under Content Administration

Hi all,
We have EP 6.0 SP13.The Folder structure(Both Business objects and Portal Content) under Content Administration and Folder structure under System Administration is not visible.I have logged in as Administrator and the roles assigned were:
com.sap.pct.crm.crm_default_services
Administrator
ContentManager
eu_role
super_admin_role
When i'm trying to access the portal content,Loading...is dispalyed in Content Area for a while and a message 'error occured' is displayed in the status bar instead of 'Done'.
I'm also having a problem in Detailed Navigation.Nothing is visible under Detailed Navigation.
Any Inputs on the above issues would be of great Help.
Thanks and regards,
Vijaya Sai.V

Hi,
There could be only 2 problems when PCD objects are not being shown.
1) You don't have the permission to view it. But since you are an administrator, you don't have to worry about it.
2) The browser is unable to show the PCD objects.
Now lets look at the solution:
I had faced the same issues where when I tried to access the portal using IP address, PCD objects will not show. So the solution is to access the portal through its "name" rather than the IP address.
I guess you would have tried to access the portal by its name, then you had faced an error in browser and so you are trying to access the portal by IP address.
if this is true, make an entry in the hosts file in your local machine, mapping the IP address to the domain name.
If you dont know how to do it, please follow the following:
Goto the following folder in windows
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
You will find a file named hosts. Open it in notepad and give the IP address & domain name of the portal in the format specified there. Save the file. Now if you access the portal using its domain name, you should be able to see the PCD. If you are still not getting it, restart the machine and try once more. It should work.
If you are using a Linux system, the file can be found under the \etc under the root folder.
Regards,
Vijai.

Cannot open Public Folder item: "Not enough memory available in Exchange"

Hi
We are running Exchange 2003 Sp2.
I cannot open an item in a Public Folder in Outlook that holds a list of contact details - the error message is;
"Error: Cannot open this item. There is not enough memory available on Microsoft Exchange to perform this operation. Contact your system administrator"
However, I can open the Contacts using Webmail. Any ideas?

Quote: “open an item in a Public Folder in Outlook that holds a list of contact details”
The item you said, is it a distribution list? If yes, please see KB 894530
Troubleshooting:
1.       Is the issue only happened on one item in the problematic public folder?
2.       Is the issue only happened on one public folder?
3.       Please recreate one same type item in the problematic public folder, see if the issue still persists
4.       Is the issue only happened via one outlook client? Please test if the symptom also occurs when we reproduce the issue in another PC with another user’s outlook profile
Resources:
If the outlook’s version is 2007, please see KB 945014

Owner of the public folder is not able to move or remove or create items underneath

Scenario:
"ABCD" is the parent folder to which the user A given owner rights using EMC console.
system admin creates 2 new sub-folders underneath and given user A with "owner" rights. Now the problem is out of 2 sub-folders one works fine(it means "user A" got full rights) and other one does not allow the "user A" to move,
remove, created items.
Issue is specific to only one user, any more ideas if you can suggest me to resolve this please?
this is for Exchange 2010 SP3 environment.

Hi,
From your description, this issue affects only one user.
Please use the Get-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity "public folder" command to check the permissions.
If possible, please remove and re-add the public folder permission to check result.
If you have multiple DCs, please make sure there is no replication issue.
Besides, please run the get-mailbox | fl default* cmdlet to check the default public folder mailbox and compare with other normal users.

Exchange 2013 Public Folder Migration Not Listed

I started a public folder migration from my 2010 SP3 Exchange server to my new 2013 SP1 Exchange server. Somewhere during the process I failed. Not sure where but I am now at the point where if I try to create a new public folder on teh 2013 box i get a
warning like this.
An existing Public Folder deployment has been detected. To migrate existing Public Folder data, create new Public Folder mailbox using -HoldForMigration switch.
So I then run Get-PublicFoldermIgrationRequest to see what is still waiting... I get no migration listed in Exchange Management Shell.
I would like to find the place in AD or in the Server that thinks there is still an active request out there and remove it so I can start again with a clean slate. How do I do that?
Thanks!

Hi Zulea,
This is a known issue, I recommend you refer to the following article to resolve the issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3004062/en-us
Cause:
This problem occurs when the Exchange organization coexists with an earlier version of Exchange Server, and one or more public folder databases from the earlier version of Exchange still exist.
Resolution:
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Create the mailbox by using the -HoldForMigration switch:
This option lets an administrator create a public folder mailbox in order to begin a migration from the existing public folders:
Open the Exchange Management Shell.
Run the following cmdlet to create the public folder mailbox:
New-Mailbox "Public Folder Mailbox" -PublicFolder -HoldForMigration
Method 2: Remove all public folder databases from earlier versions of Exchange Server
To remove existing public folder databases, see the following TechNet websites, as appropriate for the version of Exchange that an existing public folder resides on.
Exchange 2010:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx)
Exchange 2007:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998329(v=EXCHG.80).aspx
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998329(v=EXCHG.80).aspx)
Create the public folder mailbox by using either the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or the Exchange Management Shell (EMS). To do this, see the following TechNet website:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj552410(v=exchg.150).aspx

Dell PC Not Visible to iMac Network

I have a home network using Airport consisting of an iMac G5 (10.4.5), an eMac G4 (10.3.9), and a Dell Laptop (Windows XP). I am sharing an internet connection from the iMac. File sharing is enabled on all computers and works fine except that the Dell is not visible in the Finder Network or Workgroup window. The Dell DOES automatically become visible in the eMac's Finder window and I can connect and share files on the Dell using the eMac so I know the PC is configured correctly. Sharing Services on the iMac have Personal File Sharing, Windows Sharing, Personal Web Sharing, and Printer Sharing enabled. I have tried to connect to the Dell through the iMac by using the Connect to Server route but I get an error each time.
Anyone have an idea why I can't connect to the Dell on one computer but not the other?
Thanks.

Try setting IPv6 to "off" in the System Preferences Network pane on your Tiger computer. I have copied and pasted the instructions from MacFixIt below:
"In order to change this setting, open System Preferences and click on your currently used interface (Ethernet, AirPort, etc.). Click on the TCP/IP settings for the interface -- at the bottom if you see a button which says 'Configure IPv6...' click that and set it to "Off." Press the Apply Now button."
This has been reported to solve many network problems in Tiger.

Hi,
I got the following problem since a few months and can't figure what the problem could be.
My Mac Mini in not visible on my other macs in Finder oder Path Finder.
With unsing Apple + K shortcut I can connect to alle Mac Mini drives.
- Both machines have 10.8.4. installed
- Router is a Time Capsule
-> MBP connected via WiFi
-> Mac Mini via LAN cable
- IP Adress will be set via DHCP (static IPs won't help, tried that of course)
- Remote Desktop und Sharing is activated on both machines within preferences
- MacMini sees my MBP und my GFs MB
- MBP is able to see my GFs MB, but not my MacMini
- No Firewall acticated on both machines
- rights have been checked and repaired with the harddrive tool
Anybody an idea what I can try next?
Thanks!

Time Capsule not visible on WiFi network

Tried to set up a new Time Capsule via the airport utility but it will not identify a Wifi Network to connect to (objective is to enlarge the network, rather than to establish a new network). There is already an older model of time capsule connected to the same router via WiFi to enlarge the network and it works well.
Is it really the only solution to connect the time capsule to the router via Cable and establish the connection like that? (That would be exactly what we do not want - another cable) Multiple resets to factory settings did not solve the issue. Anyone there to help? Thanks

There is already an older model of time capsule connected to the same router via WiFi to enlarge the network and it works well.
Connected by ethernet or by wireless?? What router is it connected to?
An apple router can only extend wireless of another apple router and only once.. ie you can have a main base and one repeater.. you cannot repeat twice.
You can use EOP (homeplug) adapters if ethernet is not suitable.

Exchange 2013 - Public folder search not working

Hi There,
We have Exchange 2013 install on server 2012 and clients using Outlook 2010 on Windows 7.
Since we have installed the system a search of the public folders always returns no results even if we know the email is there. Any suggestions?
Thank you
Dave

Hi Triumphtech,
Yes, if our Exchange 2003 environment is healthy, it will work.
Please forgive me for the silly clarification. If we used Exchange 2003 and wanted to migrate to Exchange 2013. We must migrate to Exchange 2007/2010 first, then to Exchange 2013.
So please make sure we have moved the public folder successfully first.
And great information from Tarique Noorain.
According to the article, I found some points for your reference:
1. Although a full text search of public folder content is available, public folder content isn't searchable across public folders and the content isn't indexed by Exchange Search.
2. You must use Outlook 2007 or later to access public folders on Exchange 2013 servers.
Feel free to contact me if there is any problem.
Thanks
