Sharing Turn Off Everyone

With File Sharing turned On and Unlocked,
How to Give "No Access" to Everyone it is a not highlighted choice?
I like to leave File Sharing turned on wherever I go and only let the Administrators have
Read & Write access.

That will cause all kinds of havoc with the OS. Everyone isn't everyone in the world.
Everyone is actually others in the unix world. It is those users that either don't own the file/folder or who are not members of the same group as the file/folder. There are many "others" that need access to those folders. If you disabled access to everyone, then most of the processes that perform everyday tasks would be prevented from doing so. On a unix system, you are not the only "user," and "users" are not necessarily human.
When you establish an account for people to log into your computer with, you establish what they can and cannot see. If they are a normal account on the computer, then they have access to whatever they have access to if actually sitting at the computer logged in.
If you created a Sharing Only account for them, then they should only be able to see what you gave them access to see in the Sharing preferences.
If they don't have a log in to your computer, then they cannot see anything, unless you enable Guest access. Without enabling it and looking to see what is there, I don't know offhand what Guests have access to.

Airport and internet sharing turns off by itself

Hi everyone, I have an imac that I purchased earlier this year, and I use internet sharing to get internet for my ipod touch. Until a few months ago, this worked fine but now airport and internet sharing turn off every time I restart the computer and I have to turn both back on every time. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or know hot to fix it?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Download and install the v10.5.8 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
One of the "fixes" includes: - compatibility and reliability issues when joining AirPort networks.
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

File Sharing Turns off

Hi, I've just set up an intel imac and wanted to connect it to my home network. I can connect from this computer (imac) to an ibook running 10.4.6, but when I try to connect from the ibook to the imac, the connection drops and file sharing turns off by itself.
I can switch it on again, but once i try to connect it turns off by itself again. Any ideas?
Thank you very much

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=352820
after trying all the usual stuff (permissions repair, change sharing name, reinstall & archive, etc) followed by a 1.5 hour call with apple (which had me doing the exactly same stuff all over again) i could only solve this problem by starting from scratch: backing up the relevant files, wiping the drive and reinstalling everything.
i keep a drive with all the most current installers of everything we use in each studio so we can get it all back even from a totally empty drive to up and running in about 2 hours.
good luck.

Personal file sharing turns off by itself

Hey everyone. My Personal File Sharing keeps turning off on my Mac Pro when I try to access it from my PowerBook. I have tried repairing permissions on both computers and still no luck. Also tried locking the little padlock in the Preferences Control Panel and no luck. The computer name is one word with no spaces.
I did a search on this topic but found an archived post with no new suggestions. Any advice out there?
PowerBook G4 15 Titanium 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.3.7)

I'd try trashing on the one that changes...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
Then reboot and setup Sharing again.

Personal File Sharing Turns off after an attempt to connect from other comp

I have personal file sharing turned on on my MacBook and when I attempt to connect to it from my iMac I get a typical logon windows and extended delay and then the message that the Server Connection was Interrupted. When I check Personal File Sharing on the MacBook it has been turned off even though I have locked the settings.
The problem exist whether I use my local Wireless LAN (Apple-N) or an ethernet connection. In both cases the MacBook the ethernet connection is with the a port on the Apple N wireless LAN

It may be solved for you, but I just discovered that since upgrading to 10.4.11 I can no longer connect to any of my other Macs. When I click on network NOTHING shows up in the Finder.
While I'm happy to grab random code posted by an unknown person and stick it in my system, I shouldn't have to. Clearly Whatever the update did to your Mac it did to my MacBook as well and most likely others. If this is the official fix for the problem, Apple needs to acknowledge it and offer a link to the file rather than relying on fix-it forums to solve their problems.
Apple seriously needs to test these updates a little more thoroughly before they make them available. I KNOW you are supposed to back everything up before you do it, yada, yada, yada ... but Apple has basically made the Software update feature an automatic function as if it is the best thing for your computer ... clearly that is not always the case.

10.6: Internet Sharing turns off after restart

I use Internet Sharing on my iMac to share the Ethernet connection from my computer wirelessly to my iPod touch. In Leopard, Internet Sharing would turn off after a restart. Snow Leopard fixed the problem for a while, but now it's acting up again. Any help?

Using MacOS X 10.6.2 I have the same problem.
My network configuration is just the other way around (wireless Internet and Ethernet LAN).
Looking this up in Google first, I came across this older support link of Mac OS X 10.2:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21168?viewlocale=en_US
The solution provided there is not really helping though.
However, it appears that this is a recurring issue Apple is struggling already longer with. Hope they straighten that out at one point.

ATV3 Home Sharing Turns off - GRRRR! FIX IT ALREADY APPLE!

ATV3 - Dell Computer
After about 10 minutes the Home Sharing disconnects
I have turned off firewall
I have updated router
I have reset ATV
I have not hit the done button!
Seems like there are a ton of these threads!
Please update Apple!
Dont mark it solved, becuase its not!
I have not seen one issue solved as of yet!
Im want to use the home shring with all of my pictures for a screen saver! Not just the ones ATV3 can cache... Not enough!
I have used Flickr... 500 tops there
Please Help!

This is a user forum, you are not addresisng Apple here. When home sharing disconnects is your computer still running or asleep?
I would check www.istumbler.net (netstumbler for windows) to check interference.
I'm sure you've checked this, but just in case

Why does my Internet sharing turn off daily?

Why does internet sharing keep turning off?

Are the Airport bars still black & showing good signal when it gets lost?
Could there be another Network nearby on the same channel?
Any Microwave sources like TVs, Cell Phones, Ovens around?
Does the one providing Internet remain connect to the Internet when this happens?
Is the Ethernet Interface on the Mac that connects to the Internet dragged to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, with Airport below it?

IMac Late 2013 Yosemite 10.10.1 File Sharing Turns Off by Itself

I have file sharing turned on because my iMac is a file server for another Mac in the office. It is a new machine and I found that right out of the box when I left it on over night or when I shut it down and rebooted the file sharing kept turning off. I thought I was going crazy until I really paid attention and it kept doing it. Mac support really didn't have an answer. I told him all my settings and he said they were right and that file sharing should arbitrarily turn itself off, but it continues to do it mainly on reboot, but it has happened when I have left it on for more than a day. Any answers?

Shared Photo Streams in Usage, despite sharing turned off.

I checked the usage on my iPad today (running iOS 8.1) and Shared Photo Streams are using 4.1GB of memory. The problem is that I don't have any shared photo streams -- I don't even have sharing services turned on.
I've tried Googling, but I can't come up with any solution to this.

Shared PhotoStreams are always in the order the photos are added and cannot be rearranged - they are streams.

Why does Internet Sharing Turn off when shut down/restart ?

I've have had my Mac for a few months now and it has gone beyond my expentation it was defenatly a good buy . I was wondering if there is a way to keep Internet sharing on when I shutdown or restart my Macit would stop working. Ive went to bestbuy and tried this out in other macs and the same thing happened when I restart or shut it. Internet sharing would say it is enabled in preferences, but it no longer has the arrow point up. Apple could you please fix this on your next update I use this as a wireless router and it performes well except when I have to uncheck the box enable it again . Thank you

Your computer has to be ON to be able to use the Internet Sharing settings....

The home sharing always turn off when i try to see movie on my apple tv

Home sharing turns off when i try to watch movies on my apple tv

If your Apple TV is connected to your network via wi-fi, it could boil down to a range / signal quality issue. Are you able to stream any other services to the Apple TV without issues? If possible, connect the Apple TV with ethernet cable and see if that resolves your issue.

Screen Sharing turns itself off!

This is an issue that has turned up since moving to lion.
I have scren sharing enables in System Preferences > Sharing on my office mac and home mac. Sometimes I will try to screen share with one or the other mac and the Screen Sharing app will launch and just sit at the "Connecting to Home/Office Mac.." window for a while and then a Connection Failed window pops up telling me to enable screen sharing on the other mac.
When I get to the other mac, Screen sharing has been disabled and it wont allow me to re-enable it without restarting the computer. This same thing happens on both of my macs, so it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident. It happens fairly frequently.
Has anyone ever experienced this or have a solution?
Thanks

Try this on both machines and test to see if it works. If not, you may need to run an update if not done so already.
Open System Preferences > Sharing
Turn OFF Screen Sharing, Remote Login, Remote Management, and Remote Apple Events (just turn everything off)
Now turn ON Screen Sharing, Remote Login, Remote Management, and Remote Apple Events
Now turn everything OFF again. We have just "kickstarted" those services.
Now enable the services you want. If you just want to access your computer through VNC or screen sharing, just turn on Screen Sharing.
