Shared device discovery

After switching from a Linksys AP to a Time Capsule (in AP mode) it seems Lion is having a slower time finding my local computers and listing them in the Shared section on the sidebar. My MacBook is the only Apple computer, the rest are Windows (XP, 2003 and 7).
Sometimes they will be found and listed and others they will be missing. All computers can be accessed via Finder>Connect to Server.
I have no idea what to do next.

This is due to lack of MIB support at the time of development.  Both BGP and OSPF have had MIB support for a long time that provides peer information via SNMP.  The CISCO-EIGRP-MIB is fairly new, and is not yet supported everywhere.  Certainly, though, an enhancement could be rasied to add EIGRP support.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite I cannot see my other iMac at home (note I am at work) in the Finder window shared devices.  Note my iMac at home is connected to an airport extreme (as is my work iMac) and I can see both airport extreme.

    Aftger I upgraded to Yosemite I cannot see my iMac at home from my work (i.e in Finder window under shared devices).  Note both my work and home iMac are connected to time capsules and I can see both of those time capsules but I cannot see either iMac from the other location.  My guess is that the time capsule is blocking the connection to the iMac.  One last comment occasionally (5% of the time) my iMac does magically appear in the shared Finder window but this is extremely rare.  Any help????

    Just discovered this one myself.  OK, this may sound silly but place your cursor next to the word "Shared" on the finder sidebar.  The "hidden" command "Show" will magically appear.  Clicking that will display your other network attached devices.
    This appears to be a new "feature" that some freaking genius thought was some how "Cool".   My only assumption is that Apple programers expect users to randomly move their cursor around the screen in hopes of finding some critical function like looking for an easter egg in their favorite game.

  • How can I see my iPhone on the Shared devices list on sidebar of Finder ?

    I have a Home Network Wireless-N based on a Linksys Broadband Router WRT300N. I have my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, my wife her MacBook, my son a Windows portable and still a Desktop Windows PC. The desktop Windows PC is connected via Ethernet cable direct to the Router, the other four devices connect wireless.
    The problem is that I can only see the desktop Windows PC in my Finder's Sidebar on my MacBook Pro. Since all the other devices are connected in the wireless network with full access to internet, I suppose I should see them in the sharing devices list on the sidebar. Tried already to connect to server under Menu Go To without any luck. Someone knows why ? Thanks for some help.

    The iPhone doesn't have a disk mode or wireless N capabilities.

  • Lately my finder closes when I select a shared devices and I can no longer connect to other macs.  Wifi working, TC okay except in finder. Mac Pro running 10.8.5

    Lately my finder has been closing when I select a shared device such as another mac, a printer, or the time capsule.   My WiFi connection is working - I can can still backup to the TC and use my wireless printer, but I just can't access them by clicking on them in the finder window.   Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Thanks for your help
    I made no changes to the mini or the server.
    The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
    Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
    I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
    It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks

  • How to Fix Disappeari​ng HP Printer Drivers -- Disable HP CUE Device Discovery Service

    I have a new HP G60-530US laptop with Windows 7 installed (less than 2 months old). It is connected to an HP 7410 All-in-One Printer and a Brother laser printer.
    Three times now, the HP 7410 printer has mysteriously disappeared from the installed printers. The Brother printer does not disappear.
    To re-install the HP 7410 printer requires disabling the AVS using the Services,msc utility (not just shutting down the AVS (Panda in my case)).  It takes 20 minutes or so to re-install the HP printer driver software.
    HP tech support is clueless about the cause or cure for this.
    The laptop people referred me to the printer support people and the printer support people referred me to the laptop support people. The last tech support guy suggested that I restore the system on the theory that if the problem persisted it would be a hardware problem and not a software problem. He seemed to miss the fact that the disappearing printer driver software only occured with HP printers.
    HP technical support was worthless.
    Some internet forums suggest that this occurs when HP machines are connected to different networks. I noticed my problem occur after I took the laptop on a business trip and connected to a different wireless network.
    On Vista forums, I've discovered that the disappearing HP printer drivers has been a problem for some time over a wide range of HP printers. 
    The solution identified on those forums is to stop and disable the HP CUE Device Discovery Service. Apparently, this service is used to detect HP printers and add them to the HP Solutions Center software.
    In my experience, the HP printer drivers disappeared when my laptop comes into range of a "foreign" HP printer with wireless capabilities. For example, my laptop dropped my configured HP wireless printer when I went to an office that had a different wireless HP printer installed. The HP CUE service trashes the existing printer driver even though you do not intend to install and use the "foreign" printer. That would also explain why the printer drivers disappear when visiting a hotel or other location where any HP wireless devices exist. It would also explain why non-HP drivers do not disappear.
    I've disabled the CUE Device Detection Service (using the Services utility). I'll see if that works.  From what I've read, the CUE Device Detection Service is not needed after you have installed your printer, but it remains in your computer's active memory just "in case" you want to connect to a new HP printer and install software for that printer.  Said differently, after your printer is installed, it remains as useless HP software that clogs your machine's resources.
    A patch from Microsoft or HP (e.g., a patch that disables the CUE service) would be a big help to users if the number of posts on this issue are any indication of how pervasive this problem is.

    This seems to be a common problem that exists for many HP devices, varying computer moakes and models and different operating systems. So, the conclusion must be that it is a HP issue. WHY ARE THEY NOT FIXING IT?
    Based on this I am quite happy to buy a different make of printer so how does HP justify the continuing lack of support?
    I posted a message about my C7180 All-in-one which had been causing problems but I put it down to me making (unrelated) changes to my system then noticed it got worse when I connected a new Trust digital pad. However, even when the pad is not connected I get the problem of disappearing drivers with the printer still visible.
    What seems to happen to my set-up is it works when it is first reloaded and used, but the next time I open the HP software it fails and no other software is able to print/scan on the device.
    Can somebody explain what the CUE is? I'll give it a try but I don't know what it refers to.
    Who'd have thought that in the 21st century, software/hardware engineeers still can't make a simpy process for a computer. Whatever happened to the promise of plug'n'play?

  • The Strange Case of the Missing Shared Devices...

    Dear Forum,
    I am currently having intermittent trouble with the connection of shared devices.
    The network consists of a MBP, Qnap TS109 and a Canon printer hooked up via LAN to a WAG200G. The Qnap serves music to a PS3 (WLAN) and the Mac and also serves as a TimeMachine back up device.
    The problem is that every so often I lose my Shared Devices in the Finder side-bar. They just disappear.
    I have managed to reconnect by playing with the Network connections preferences, but as I suspected (due to exhausting the permutations), this solution has come to an end and now I cannot urge them to reappear (unless I restart (which is a solution, but not an entirely satisfactory one)…
    All devices have been set to use static IP address (none conflict).
    The Mac’s settings are as follows:
    TCP/IP-
    Configure IPv4 Manually: then my IP address.
    Subnet and router are both correct as I can connect to the Qnap & WAG admin pages and internet (I’m not sure if that is a correct test of these settings, but the numbers are correct).
    Configure IPv6: Off.
    Under DNS : I have entered both DNS servers as per the instructions of the ISP (I have been with them for years and these are correct).
    WINS- (I don’t know what this is but…)
    NETBIOS Name: the name of my Mac (All uppercase (don’t know why, but looks definitely windows (ish))
    Workgroup: (blank)
    WINS Servers (blank),
    802.1X & Proxies: everything is per the default setting as I have never touched anything in these options.
    Ethernet-
    ID: My Mac MAC
    Configure: Auto
    Speed, Duplex and MTU have never been touched, but I am assuming that Auto covers these.
    Under Network (System Preferences), then Location: Auto, then next to Status: Connected (currently active and correct IP)
    The WAG is the only thing on this mini network that sets DHCP, I could change this to disable as everything has it’s own Static IP, but is there any need?
    (I hope I am getting the terminology correct and not inadvertently creating confusion.)
    The PS3 sees the Twonky server in the Qnap, so I am not sure if that is an issue, it doesn’t appear to be.
    So why the missing devices?
    None of this would actually be a problem if it was not for the fact that once the Qnap disappears from the Finder side-bar, TimeMachine does not back up (yet I can connect via a browser to the Qnap, even if it is not present in the side-bar).
    The problem is I feel as though my thinking is a bit blinkered as I am only concentrating on the Network connection aspect, yet I am afraid I am not entirely sure what else I should be considering. That is to say what is causing the Mac hooked up to a perfectly adequate connection/ functioning network to suddenly cause it to drop the devices, yet retain connection by other means?
    Unfortunately a forum member had exactly the same problem but sadly removed the query from open questions.
    It goes without saying (but there is no harm in me saying it anyway), but any help would be appreciated.

    Bump
    This recently happened to me as well, actually it's happened for awhile, and only recently have begun to try to find the answers. Did you ever find out what happened?
    Also seems like this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11367180
    But that has no answers posted either. Perhaps a reformat and stick with 10.6.2, which is what I think the last version the "Shared Devices" automatically showed without deliberately mounting a network drive.
    My situation is pretty much the same, "Shared Devices" do not automatically show up on the left sidebar. If I know the IP address or netbios name, I can mount network hard drives: Command + K and smb://ipaddress
    My Computers, I have an iBook G4, which used to automatically pop up; a Windows7 computer that used to automatically show; and an Ubuntu 10.04 computer that would show up as well for screen sharing and smb.
    Possible culprits include: netbios/smb problems, mDNSresponder/Bonjour problems, other networking config. No settings permutations have fixed the problem.

  • I am using workgroup manager to restrict access in the finder to students, i have selected basic finder this seems to work when you try and launch finder, but when you are in another application eg safari and select open you can see shared devices

    as well as shared devices you can see locations etc in the side bar. i know you can edit this in finder preferences or simply drag them off and they will be removed but i want to remove them as a student logs on. i know you can edit the finder plist file in workgroup manager but i do not know what keys i need to add to remove these options and the keys are not there as default can anyone please help any ideas on how to achieve this would be great

  • Shared devices not showing up in finder

    Shared devices on my network are not showing up in Finder on my MacBook Air. Problem just began in the last 24 hours, and is limited to just this computer. Have done usual things -- checking, unchecking shared devices in Finder; relaunching Finder; restarting computer. Any ideas?

    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.

  • Shared Devices Don't Drop After Disconnect

    I fixed a double NAT issue by sacrificing my WNDR3700 router and turning it into nothing but an Access Point behind my Westell 9100em FiOS MOCA modem (LAN to LAN).
    The problem is that now, *shared devices are hanging on the the network after they disconnect.* For instance after a reboot, my iMac renamed itself to 'iMac (2).' If I bootcamp into Windows7 and then boot back to OS X, the Windows 7 drive continues to appear as a shared device.... My gripe is about it changing my iMac name - not nice. My network includes ipods, iphones, Macs, PS3, PC, Sony BR player and DNS-323 NAS.
    It is important to have a gigabit LAN/dual radio WIFI and 'back to my mac' functionality. The 9100em modem/router doesn't support gigabit ethernet or N wireless and 'back to my mac' will not work behind a double NAT. Figuring out how to bridge the 9100em has been exhausting and fruitless....
    Does anyone have any insight? Terminal command to force confirmation of shared devices perhaps?
    Thanks

    Interestingly, last night I watched a podcast through to the end. Then I went to watch it again and the Apple TV asked if I wanted to resume, after I selected resume, the final fraction of a second played and it was done. I tried that a couple times and each time the same thing happened. So, it seems that the Apple TV is just not registering that it has played the final blip of a podcast, at least with shared podcasts.

  • LMS 3.1 Device Discovery

    Hi, Having had a fully operational version of Ciscoworks on a very old server we were advised to move it to a virtual server, with a new IP address. Unfortunately since then the device discovery is not collecting data on all devices on our network, and showing them as unreachable. Even though I have replaced the IP address in the configs on the network switches.
    The odd thing is that it is finding 6 devices but not all of them. Just wondered if this is something anyone out there has seen before that may be able to shed some light for me.
    Thanks
    Jo

    Hi,
    Kindly make sure all the device are snmp reachable with the new IP from the CiscoWorks Server. However more information will be found by enabling the debugging for Device Discovery and then try to run the Device Discovery again.
    To enable the debug for Device Discovery , kindly to Common Services > Device & Credentials > Device Discovery > Discovery Logging Configuration > select the modules you are using for device discovery along with Data Collector, Discovery DeviceInfo , Discovery Framework, Discovery util and run the device discovery again and then send the ngdiscovery.log from CSCOpx\log location.
    Also kindly make sure you have make the required changes on the Schedule discovery settings as well since Schedule discovery have its own settings for Device Discovery as compared with Ad hoc Discovery settings.
    Here is the good doc link created by Sir Joseph Clarke to understand the Device Discovery and for troubleshooting purposes.

    Note :- ngdiscovery.log contain information about the IP address of your device in the network.

  • LMS 4.2 Device Discovery

    I have used every version of LMS since 1.0 and I'm very familiar with the software.  My problem is with the last few versions and the device discovery feature.  It seems that in earlier versions, once the seed device was configured and devices had the appropriate community strings and cdp was enabled, the device was discovered.  With these earlier versions, all of my devices were discovered.  Any new device added to the network was also discovered.  I never had to deal with devices that were "Unreachable" as all my devices were "Reachable". My network has not changed.  I still have the same core switch ip address since version 1.0.  My edge switches are still configured for the network as they always have.  Same community strings.  What has changed is the LMS discovery process.  What's going on with these "modules"?  I have 120 devices on my network and 117 will be "Unreachable".  Even the core switch is unreachable.  I have tried CDP, Global, seed device, DCR as seed.  Still the devices are unreachable.  There are no firewalls or access lists.  The LMS server has complete access to all devices.  Does anybody have any thoughts, comments??? Or am I just being too picky expecting the software to just work?  TIA                  

    Nothing has chnaged as considerable in discovery module since inception. Addition of new modules and algorithm has just made it stronger and smarter.
    If all the devices are unknown there is certainly some issue with communication using snmp. I would request to modify and if you think multiple communities may be there try to configure all and keep the target *.*.*.*.
    Following guide on LMS discovery stands from LMS old versions to till date similar on how it works :

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 / Device Discovery

    Simple question, not so simple answer?
    I have tried multipule times to do device discoveries, the same 26 devices come up unreachable.  I have checked, double checked, and tripple checked the snmp community ro and rw strings on the switches and that snmp is enabled.. All seems configured correctly on the switches.  I have tried arp, ip ping, cdp, just about all of the proper discovery protocols.  I have tired using different seed devices, even already known reachable devices....  I'm stuck, no clue why I can't get this going! Please help.  As a side note.. If imanually added unreachable devices as an snmp target in snmp setting windows during device discovery configuration it will "reach" and add the devices.

    John...did you get this resolve? I am having the same issues. Several of my devices with subnet of 10.83.*.6 (seed switches) are unreachable in CW. I can telnet to many of the devices from the CW server and see that the community string (RO/RW) is the correct string in the configure however, still unreachable. Was you able to get this working? I do have a TAC case open for this. Still working through the issue. Write back...thanks in advance.

  • Why do we get a number next to a shared device in finder sidebar?

    Does anyone know how to stop the appearance of a number next to a shared device number in the Finder sidebar window?
    OSX Yosemite, version 10.10.2
    Thanks.

    There are several possible causes for this behavior.
    1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local". Resolve the name conflict by renaming one or more of them in the Sharing preference pane.
    2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is a bug in OS X that may only affect some models. You can avoid it as follows:
    Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter  tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
              Wake for Wi-Fi network access
    if it's checked.
    4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    6. If the router is an Apple device, it may need to be restarted.
    7. A third-party Bonjour device on the network is malfunctioning. Finding out which is a process of elimination.
    8. There is more than one DHCP server on the network. Typically, there would be two or more wireless access points configured to act as routers.
    9. See this support article.
    10. Back up all data. Make notes of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. You will need to recreate the network settings.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
