Servers not appearing in sidebar or Network icon

My home LAN has another mac (running 10.4.10) as well as two NAS hard drives on it. Even though I've set Finder preferences to show Connected Computers and Bonjour Servers, none of them show up in the Sidebar.
Worse still, when I click on the Network icon (which no longer appears in the sidebar either, but is available under the computer name), it shows nothing! In other words, I can't browse for my servers and they don't show up in the sidebar.
The only way I can connect to them is to hit Connect to Server... in the finder and specify them by IP number, which is a pain. Seems to me I ought to be able to browse for them, the way I did in Tiger. I thought Leopard was supposed to make all this easier!
For what it's worth, I did an Archive and Install when I installed Leopard.

Have you turned file sharing on? When I did that on the server I wanted to view, it appeared in the sidebar automatically and then it is easier than Tiger. Screen sharing is very cool!

Is it because the backup on progress?

Hmmm.. ok.. well you are kind of on your own.. purchasing from another country leads to problems.. especially as the TC itself is regional .. all the setup applies to the region it is sold in.
Make sure you are using ipv6 in the computers..
See

The 6.3 utility will not work without it.
Make sure all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Do a full reset and start over.
But there are no more controls.. you cannot set mode..
You can set wireless channels.. so do .. try different wireless names for the different bands.. and set fixed channels.. whatever your country allows, usually 2.4ghz you can use 1, 6, 11 but 13 maybe an option as well. 5ghz is much less clear and there are more variation. Just set to one channel and then another.
Set WPA2 Personal security with a 10-20 character password .. pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.

HT2311 After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go). What do I do?

After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go). I also looked for the new iTunes by clicking on my Hard Drive icon but didn't see it there either. I only see the icon for the old iTunes. What do I do?

The exclamation mark means that the app has lost the link to the actual file.
First step: try and make sure the iPhoto Library is working correctly:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Servers not appearing while searching in SCOM Report

I am trying to generate performance detail report (CPU and Memory) for several Windows Server 2008 R2 servers but noticed that 4 servers are not appearing & 4 of them are appearing while doing the search. What might be the reason?
I checked under Monitoring -- Microsoft Windows Server -- Operating System Performance. Here I can see all these 8 servers and their respective performance reports. Why it is not showing up while trying to search in report?
Thanks,
Thanks

Heres some generic documentation that I wrote for myself that might help. For processors on server 2008R2 I belive the counter that is grabbing the info is under "Processor Information" and not "Processors" like previous OSs. Also make sure in step
7 to Add group and not object it will be easier if you add the group rather than the object.
1) Launch SCOM and go to the “Reporting” section in the lower left hand side of the console.
2) Expand the “Reporting” folder.
3) Click on the “Microsoft Generic Report Library” folder
4) Open “Performance Detail”
5) This will open the report for configuration, choose the “Change…” button in the upper right hand corner.
6) Select the “New Series” button, this will create a line in the list and represents an object/group you will be reporting on
7) Choose “Add Group…”
8) Search for a server by typing it in the “Group Name” section.
9) Make sure to chose the object with the server and windows icon, the “Class” will also be “Windows Computer”
10) Next, choose the “Browse” button under the rule section (lower right area)
11) The “select rule” window will come up. It will probably be easier to use the “Search by Counter” tab.
12) Under “Performance Object” select the corresponding option that would appear in perfmon. The same goes for “Counter” and then choose “search”. Note – not all performance counters are tracked in SCOM. It will only list what is gathered.
13) Notice the “Management Pack” column in your search, make sure you’re choosing a management pack that applies to your server(s). Select a rule under the counter that applies to the server and choose OK.
14) Select OK in the settings window.
15) Choose your From and To dates and run the report

Connected Servers Not Showing in sidebar

Just taken delivery of a new 27" iMac - very very nice indeed.
However a couple of irritations and one for this community.
At our office we connect to an Xserve running 10.75 server (the iMac is Mountain Lion).
We used to be able to drag our connected server partitions to the sidebar under devices. On a restart they automatically reappeared once connected.
This does not happen on my new iMac.
Any suggestions welcome.

Try going to Finder Preference/Sidebar and under Shared select Connected Servers.
If the box is already selected, try deselecting it and then reselecting it.

My newly purhcased Domain Name does not appear in sidebar...how do I link

I have purchased southbaygunnersredondo.com and followed all the steps to link the name with the website I created using iweb. When I look at my me.com account, I see my new domain name listed and ready to use, but it doesn't show up in my sidebar in iweb so I have no idea how to link the domain name with the site I created. help-

Is this the URL?
http://www.southbaygunnersredondo.com/southbaygunnersredondo.com/Welcome.html
Try a shorter Sitename. It's a bit overdone to display it twice.
You do not have to link anything in iWeb.
iWeb gets the domainname from the MMe server and will only use it to create the RSS and subscription links.
You can keep using the web.me.com/username address and the domainname address.

Airport will not connect to my home network after trying to connect to my school's network. Need help!

Airport on my Macbook will no longer connect to my internet network at home. I was on campus using my university's network today and now Airport only wants to connect to it and will not change back to my home network. It has something to do with the 802.1X, and I don't know enough about networks to know what that does. Is there someway I can just reset my entire airport settings to where it would be like the first time I used my Macbook and configured it to my home network?

Is there someway I can just reset my entire airport settings to where it would be like the first time I used my Macbook and configured it to my home network?
Did you Shut Down the Mac and then power it back up? Can you connect to your home network now if you click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen?
If your home network name does not appear, click Join Other Network, then click Show Networks.
Click the name of the network that you want to join and enter the password if required
Are you saying that you want to delete the connection to the school network from your Mac? If you do this, you will have to setup the connection again if you head back to the school.

Weird: why would a network drive named "time-capsule-de" with an icon of an old-fashioned PC monitor appear on my home network?

Weird: why would a network drive with the name "time-capsule-de" and an icon of an old-fashioned PC monitor suddenly appear on my home network?
It happened shortly after I'd set up a new Time Capsule with our iMac and had transferred the configuration for it over from my old Time Capsule.
I'd just taken the old Time Capsule into another room and powered it up with my MacBook to confirm that Airport Utility's wiping of its settings hadn't affected the old Time Machine backups still stored in it.
I was in the process of tinkering to see how I could use the old Time Capsule, when Airport Utility offered to "extend" my home network, so I tried that setting, and then got a warning that the old Time Capsule and its wifi networks were not yet secure or private. While I was working to fix that, I noticed that in the Finder sidebar and in my Network settings, this mysterious "time-capsule-de" (with an odd old-fashioned PC monitor for an icon) had appeared. I tried to click on it, but could not access it. I also could not eject it. I shut down my old Time Capsule and my MacBook. When I turned the laptop back on, "time-capsule-de" was gone.
What do you all make of that? Should I worry about the security of my home network? I live in an apartment development, so there are more than a dozen stray wifi signals pouring in from other units.
I'd welcome any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!

What is the name of your old Time Capsule? Did you change the name to the new one?
It appears in Finder .. that is to be expected.. it is after all a network drive.. and it has PC symbol more than likely because you are using Mavericks which defaults to SMB network.. ie the computer thinks it is a windows computer.
There is nothing bad or sinister going on.. but you certainly need to ensure your own wireless network is secure..
That is otherwise all fine.
If the TC shows up again, check that it is also in the airport utility and check its MAC address with the label on the bottom.. It will show in the Utility .. then you can compare and check you are reading the right thing.

Network Icon in Sidebar

It would appear that Network has been removed from the Finder sidebar icon options in Leopard. At least, I can't find it in Finder>Preferences>Sidebar (it's there in Tiger). Any possible way of placing a Network icon in the Leopard Finder sidebar? I tried dragging the Network icon from the Devices>Computer pane and it won't drag.

It was replaced with the 3 items under SHARED:
Back to My Mac
Connected Servers
Bonjour Computers

Network Icon Not Responding

I click on Finder and then Computer. Within Finder, I see an icon for my hard drive and network. However, when I click on the icon, I get no response. I don't seem to have a problem if I click the network icon in the sidebar or from the Go menu and then Network.
One other note, the network icon looks like a folder. It no longer looks like a globe or ball.

Hi,
Please reinstall your network adapter driver to check the result.

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

In the networking window the Computer item does not appear

I have network sharing turned on but the Computer category does not appear in the networking window. Any ideas how to add this category to the network window in windows 8.1?????

Mfrakes,
It’s possible that you’re not seeing the computer category simply because there aren’t any computers to list.
Make sure that the computers you’re expecting to see are powered on and connected to your network.
Another thing to ensure is that network discovery is enabled.
In order to enable network discovery in Windows 8.1, start by right-clicking on the Network system icon in the taskbar notification area, then click on Open Network and Sharing Center.
Next, in the left pane of the Network and Sharing Center window, click on the Change advanced sharing settings link.
The next window that comes up will give you the option of turning network discovery on.
I hope this helps!
