Shared computer only shows up under "All..." where no Login is possible

In our home network my wife's MacBook Air (2012, MacOS Lion) cannot see my Mac Pro. Actually it does, sort of, under "Shared" in the Finder, it sees it under "All..." where my MacPro (2008, Mtn Lion) then shows up, but she there is no way to log in like it would be possible if it showed up directly under "Shared".
How can my MacPro be forced to show up directly in the Shared column?
Our network is wired, restarting router and restarting machines does not help. Ping via terminal works.
Any ideas?

Hi MarciaFunebre,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to use the steps in these articles to verify the sharing settings on the MacBook Air:

Hi JimHess,
Yes, the files are still located in the same drive, the exact same place Lightroom put them (in Pictures in Library).
When I double-click on the catalog file, it opens up multiple folders with little white "document-looking" blank pages, and when I click on those, it open a dialog box that says "How do you want to open this type of a file (.Ircat)?" with a little box below that says "Look for an app in the store".
So I don't think my computer knows how to open them...I think I need to re-download Lightroom. I just want to make sure I'm not going to mess up the files.

All of a sudden my home sharing computer is showing up multiple times on my apple TV.

All of a sudden my home sharing computer is showing up multiple times on my apple TV. When I go into the home sharing selection my computer shows up 2-3 times. It is now happening on both my 2nd and 3rd gen Apple TV. Does anyone else have this? How do I fix this? Thanks!

Weird. Restart everything including your router.

DVD player only shows video under Intel graphics

I have a Macbook Pro 15", i7 2.66, and just noticed that Apple's DVD Player app will only show video under Intel graphics. When it's switched to the Nvidia 330M, all I get is a black screen (+ audio).
Oddly, the VLC app works fine, so I'm (sort of) hoping this is a software issue. Anyone else experience this?

Agreed it is a shame. This is the second time to hear of this glitch. I do not know if it constitutes a bug however.
If you want to report it to Apple's engineers, send a bug report via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number thus starting a dialog with engineering.

When I select a title or lower thirds and try to enter text by double clicking on it I cannot enter any text at all. Also the text area box does not show up at all where you can enter text also.

It's a bit hit and miss, Walter. Sometimes the box to enter text shows up straight away in the inspector under "text". Other times, although you click "text" in the inspector, there's nowhere to actually write anything.... then what you have to do is move the trackbar over the Title Box until you see the text boxes in the main Viewer. In the Viewer, double click a text box.... you can enter text there, but it's a bit flaky, but when you've clicked in it, you'll find that under "Text" in the inspector, the box for inputting text has magically appeared!
I'm not sure if anyone else has this trouble, but it is a bit of a pain!

Hi,
First plaese unplug any external device (except the mouse and keyboard), then hold on the power button, perform a cold reboot, what is the result?
If doesn't work, please press F8 (or other button, depend on your PC model) boot your compute into recovery console.
You can restore your system to a previous point or perform a startup repair, please refer to the following link:

Movies only show up under Songs LIst

On my iPod Classic 80GB, movies (purchased and manually added) only show up under the songs list. I cannot change the info (movie, tv show) in iTunes because that is not an option for files in the songs list. I have been able to re-add a couple of the manually added movies and they show up in the right place, but the purchased movies I cannot do this with. This only became a problem today and has not been a problem in the past. They show up under the songs list only and not in the movies even though the info shows them as mp4. Any help is appreciated.

I would say that is a good indication that the movies are not actually synced. Check your sync settings in iTunes and also make sure that there is actually enough disk space available on the ATV for the movies that have yet to sync.

TS2972 Apple TV (2) works great with everything BUT iTunes on my computer, AND I can turn Home Sharing Off and On multiple times and NOTHING show up under "shared" and NOTHING shows up under Computers on Apple TV???

My Apple TV (2) works fine with my iPad and iPhone.
My iTunes syncs with my iPad and iPhone.
I have turned "Home Sharing" off and on multiple times - of course using the same AppleID - and NOTHING shows up under Shared (and then Shared goes away) and NOTHING shows up under "Computers" on Apple TV?
Why aren't Apple TV and iTunes smart enought to work with each other on the same network? This should not be this difficult...

I think I am having the same problem.
My issue: since updating the software on ATV, I get an issue where shortly after starting a movie or video of some sort streaming from iTunes on my iMac the vid stops and Apple TV tells me that I need to connect to my Home Sharing account. Sometimes I can fix it by turning Home Sharing off and back on in my settings. Sometimes I need to completely reboot the AppleTV!
Any suggestions???

When I click iTunes Home Sharing, it only shows up on my computer. How do I get it to show up on the TV?

I Just got an Apple TV and when I click on 'Computers' it tells me I need to connect to Home Sharing. Once I do on my computer and TV, then it only shows up on my Computer, not the TV. How do i get it to show up on my TV?

Have you enabled home sharing on the ATV?

HT1386 When I sync my iPhone 4S with my iTunes, the playlists that used to show on my iTunes on the computer only show on the iPhone. How do I get them to sync to iTunes.

My computer was reformatted and after I installed iTunes and synced with my iPhone 4S, the playlist only shows on my iPhone and not on my computer in iTunes.
Any suggestions as to how I can get it back on my computer?

I've been experiencing the same problems, until my friend told me to manage my songs and albums manually instead of syncing it. to do that, connect your phone to the macbook via usb and go to 'songs', and scroll down. check the box that says 'manually manage songs and albums', and from there all you do is drag-and-drop your playlists into your iphone under the 'device' tabs. as for the random songs, uncheck the box that says 'automatically fill free space with songs'. hope this helps!

My contacts are only showing phone number, all my contact info is missing

Help! I received a text and it only showed the number, I recognized it being my sisters number, but then I looked at my favorites and all the names started disappearing one by one, now I only have number and no contacts except my google contacts. Help!!

Do you maybe have your contacts separated into groups? If so, perhaps you have unchecked the group that the missing contact are in.
In the Contacts app, click the Groups button in the upper left corner. Make sure all groups have a check mark next to them.

I only want Home Sharing to ONLY show selected playlists

How do I get my 2010 AppleTV to only see selected content from my iTunes Library? I went into iTunes, Preferences, Sharing, and selected Share selected playlists. Then I picked a few of them. Trouble is, I am still seeing my full library when I view it under Computers on the AppleTV. What am I doing wrong?

This is frustrating. I have all the latest models and OS's running, and there is no way to hide my iTunes **** stash from AppleTV. On Thanksgiving, everyone wanted to see pictures of the new house, and I was soooo excited to show everyone house snazzy AppleTV was and how you could look through photos from the computer. And then I realized navigating through the menus that it was probable there would be video thumbnails popping up on the screen that I would have to blaze by to get to the photos tab. Not good. I aborted the mission midstream, and had to blame 'technology' and resort of pulling out the computer. Clearly, Apple is not designing software for those of us who mingle our **** with the rest of our lives. The checkbox thing does not work. The parental controls do not work (either on AppleTV or in iTunes). I suppose the best way to hide certain stuff is to create a different library for iTunes and then select that library when you open iTunes. Then it seems there would be no way things could slip through the cracks...so to speak.

HT201272 Why does my new computer only show very few of my previous purchases?

Inherited an iMac that had had many many users. The thing was pretty junked up and slow, so I decided to have a brand new OS installed. So basically it is a new computer. However, when I try to download previous purchases in iTunes I can only find the last two albums I bought. It does not even recognoze that I have purchased other music. When I was sharing the computer with others I had no trouble downloading all of my purchases. So, where are the rest of my purchased albums?

CS5 no longer shows up under all documents in vista??

As of today my photoshop desktop icon diappeared and when I open "all programs" under start Photoshop shows up like this instead of just photoshop:
However, in Programs & Features it shows as Adobe Photoshop.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appriciated!!

Did you look in the Program Files
32 bit version cs5
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5
64 bit version of cs5
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5
to see if the Photoshop.exe is in there?
If it is, you can Right click on the Photoshop.exe and choose Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)

Syncing - loss of photos and movies / ipad only shows movies under 'events'

Two issues
1 - I have recently upgraded ipad to 5.1. Syncing with pc on windows 7. Sync has omitted 65 photos and 60 movies, with no apparent logic e.g. 50 photos have been omitted from the middle of a folder on pc with 1010 photos. The other 15 are random omissions over several folders, where the other photos in the folders have been taken with the same camera on the same day as others that have successfully synced to the ipad. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know the solution? I can sync again and see what happens, but I would rather understand why the photos have been omitted.
2 - Also, none of the movies show in 'photos' or 'albums' on the ipad, although they do show under 'events' (nnnIMPRT), and play in a 'slideshow' of 'events'. I am unclear on what defines an 'event' in Apple's ipad world, but it is not a good basis for a slideshow. Does anyone else have this problem with movies not showing in 'photos' or 'albums'? Or does anyone understand what the purpose of the 'event' option is?

since both last 12 months and events or photos are simply different views of the same photos in your library they are there - the most common issue is incorrect dates so you are looking in the wrong event - you can find the event by selecting the photo in the last 12 months view and and right clicking and using the show event command - you can correct the dates by selecting the photo and using the photos menu ==> adjust time/date command
