'Shared Places' are not working

I have a network at home.
We have one MacBookPro, one HP with WindowsXP and my iMac.
Everything was working properly, we would share folders so we can take files from one computer to the other through the network.
From one day to the other my Shared Places in Finder is gone and i can't see any shared places in my iMac.
everything is working perfectly on the other computers, so there's got to be something with my iMac settings.
*Any ideas?*
+FYI: I already checked,. Finder > Preferences > Side Bar > Shared (everything is checked) so it should show them.+
Thanks in advance.

The problem is with the way that OS X deals with IPv6. Some networks don't properly support IPv6 and this seems to confuse the Finder especially if you have a laptop that sleeps between different networks or works without a network at all. The solution is to tell OS X not to use IPv6, flush the directory services cache and then restart the Finder. If you not really sure how to do this then hopefully this will help (but the experts should know how to do it all from the command line).
*Turn off IPv6:*
Go to System Preferences, Network and select your current network type. Authenticate if there is a padlock showing. Click on Advanced. In the TCP/IP tab, set "Configure IPv6" to off.
*Flush cache:*
In the terminal type "dscacheutil -flushcache". If it won't allow you then you need to do this with root privileges so type "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache" and supply your password when requested.
*Restart Finder:*
From the Apple Menu, choose "Force Quit…", select "Finder" and click on "Relaunch"
+Hopefully Apple will fix this one day...+

Hello SavannahSweetie,
I was looking into the issue you are desribing, and found a great article for troubleshooting wifi connections with iOS devices. It's called iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
Start with this section, and work your way down if needed.
Basic troubleshooting
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For AirPort Base Stations, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
Restart your iOS deviceHold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
All the best,
Sterling

The contacts in the ear phone hole are not working anymore!

I have a Movie IPOD...I guess 5th gen. Its about 3 years old, I take good care of it. I have my ear phones for when Im out of the car, and a cord for my car radio that plugs into the ear phone hole. Well all of a sudden the ear phone hole and its contacts inside of it, are not working properly. I only get sound out of the left side of my car speakers and me ear phones. It has no warrenty and I am just wondering please tell me there is a place where such things can be fixed. Please tell me that I can take it to an apple store and get it repaired, like same day type thing.
Thank you...

I have the exact same problem, sound only comes from left side unless you juggle wire, twist it etc. i now spend more time trying to get it to work right then actually listening to it. So I believe it is time for a new Ipod. Apple wont replace any internal parts but will send you a new/ refurbished ipod identical to yours for around $125. You will, however, need to reload all songs, pictures, etc. 3rd party sites will sell you a new headphone jack for around $100 but most require you to install it yourself. Opening the Case will void the warranty. Which brings up another good point: if you still have a warranty (1 year from Apple, possible store/ credit card extension) use it. Your final option is to give your ipod to an apple store where they will recycle it for you and give you a 10% discount on a new Ipod of your choice. This has made me lose faith in Apple. I have had 2 ipods which both stopped working in less than 2 years. i love apple design and interface but quality is low. hope this helps!!

Hello, how much did you pay when some parts of the keyboard keys are not working properly due to accidental spilt of tea?

I accidentally spilt a tea on the keyboard of my Macbook Air 11'. I managed to wipe the keyboard and saved my laptop. However, I noticed that the Spacebar, Shift and Command keys are not working as it should be. It's like something's stuck inside that makes these keys hard to press as usual. I refered this problem to Amsys, Berwick St London, as the reservations in Apple Stores are full. Do you have any idea how much is the cost for diagnosis and repair if ever?
Please help.

if you spilled a good bit of tea, its a serious problem, yes.
it got inside, and will corode, and bad things will begin to happen.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

I did this and now my videos are not working. They show the pictures aren't there on some and on others it shows they are there, but doesn't show them in the player. When I try to Share anything it just says Waiting for Processing for hours. What do I do?
I also got Motion and can't figure out how to use it with Final Cut Pro X. Any help woud be great. Thanks

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

Login into XI Developement and give SE37 Transaction. Then you give SXMS_ALERT_ERROR_RECEIVE and click 'display'.
Then you check for the methods CL_XI_ALERT HAS_ACTIVE_RULE, CL_XI_ALERT_UTIL GET_MDT_URL, CL_XI_ALERT CREATE_ALERT and make the changes according to service notes. If you dont find this methods in this function then you can try in SXMS_ALERT_ERROR_SEND.

Some keys are not working

I have HP pavilion notebook PC with product number F6C53PA#ACJ serial number [Personal Information Removed] BIOS F.34-10/31/2013 keyboard revision 29.34.
Some keys in my keyboard are not working properly. I couldn't type < and > in microsoft office, on the websites etc.

Hi there
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that some keys are not working on your keyboard. I am happy to help with this. Are those keys working consistently in some applications? For now I would suggest you look at it as a cleaning issue. Perhaps some dust or debris is affecting the key presses.

Cascading prompts are not working after UNX conversion.

Hi,
We have converted universe to UNX format, but after conversion the cascading prompts are not working. Following is the one of the example of the cascading prompt which is having issue:
We have cascading object named u201CGroup - Deviceu201D as below:
CONCAT(CONCAT(@select(Performance Management\Group\Group Name),' - '),@select(Performance Management\Device\Device Name))
In the SQL Assistance windows, validate button properly validates this object.
Based on the above object, we have filter named u201CEnter/Select Group u2013 Deviceu201D with following definition:
@select(Performance Management\Performance Reporting Objects\Performance Custom Dimensions\Group - Device) In @prompt('Enter/Select Device Names','A','Performance Management\Performance Reporting Objects\Performance Custom Dimensions\Group - Device',Multi,Free,Not_Persistent)
When I click on the validate button for this filter, it doesnu2019t says whether the expression invalid or valid. It does not return anything. I checked the error log windows of IDT and it shows below error once we validate the above filter:

This problem is for all the cascading prompts, and only single level prompts are working after conversion to UNX.
Can anyone please help on this? Am I missing any manual changes which are mandatory after UNX conversion for this to work.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Hi Henry,
Thanks for your reply. Yes I have raised SAP ticket for this.
We are at BI 4.0 SP2 Patch 12.
This problem is for all the cascading prompts which created using objects which are having u201CLOV based on Query Panelu201D, it doesnu2019t return the results, when I edit the LOV > edit the query and then click refresh to see the data, the refresh button does not appear.
So I tried creating u201CLOV based on a custom hierarchyu201D as indicated in SAP note u2013 1666504 but it also doesnu2019t work. I used the object (that uses the LOV based on a custom hierarchy) to create the new cascading prompt, when I used this prompt in WEBI report, it only displays prompts for first value and not the second based on first input.
I searched SAP KB and found this note u2013 u201C1620378 - Cascading (nested) prompts are not working for Web Intelligence reports in BI 4u201D which describes bug related to cascading prompts in unv as well as unx. But I am not sure if itu2019s the same which I am getting.
Thanks,
Nilesh

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Can anyone help? of course this happened after my warranty expired.

**update**
I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose. In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!). Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind. I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store. But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working.
So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off. Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
Hopefully this might help someone.

It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
*Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

USB Ports are not working in Windows 7

I am on a MacBook and I installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp. It is working amazingly. I love all the new features and the look.
But all my usb devices are not working. I have a external HD and a Zune and a printer plugged in and nothing shows up.
I have tried with my usb hub and without. Doesn't make a difference.
BUT, they do show up in the Hardware and Devices place. Like I can remove them but not explore them.
I have installed all the drivers for bootcamp and everything.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards,
Luc

"I'm a new mac user and I've just purchased a Late 2009 Macbook White. I updated bootcamp and installed windows 7 on it, and upgraded the boot camp assistant on the Windows 7 to 3.1. but when ever i plug in a Flash drive into the upper slot it does not seems to recognize it and there is no safely remove icon on the task bar, but i am able to see it in my computer. but when i plug the same flash drive to the lower usb slot everything works fine, autorun, safely remove. can any one help me with this problem, is it a Hardware problem or Software problem."
do you have the same problem as me?

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

I found this on another forum and it worked for me.
This problem usually has to do with TCP/IP or Winsock requiring a reset.
Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can
be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
You need Admin access to enter the codes below. Windows button + x, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
You may have to reinstall Chrome and Firefox or reboot to have the chnage take place.
Hi,
This seems to be the only solution to my problem, however this is temporary. Any advice on a more permanent resolution?
I have also tried to disable "Automatically detect settings" under: "Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings/Automatically
detect settings".
This has no affect.
Thanks,
