Sharing with W7

Hello.
I just switched out my W7-laptop with a MacBook pro, and have come across a problem with file sharing on the network.
I have a PC with W7 as media center with XBMC. It downloads and manages all of my media files, etc. It has two WD drives connected, shared on the network, with all rights.
From my old laptop, I could easily read and write to both drives, no problems.
But the problem arise from MBP. The first disk, I can open, read from and write to, just like from the old laptop. But the second disc is notavailable. On the MBP I get a message that the disk can not be displayed on some occasions I get a question about username and password, without having ever set this up.
I have recently formatted the PC and shared drives again, but I get the same problem again.
I would love beeing able to use both discs on the network, and hope anyone can point me in the right direction.

What version of Win 7 are you using Home Premium or Pro?
Yes it makes a big difference. With a password assigned you get to logon from other PCs (computers) using the user name and password. Without one Windows does not allow anyone (user) from any other networked computer to connect because it can't authenticate that user.
There use to be a Shared Items folder in XP but I se they have removed that in Win 7. The new option is joining a Home Group but that is only available for Win 7 PCs.

Sharepoint foundation 2013 : After doing backup cannot access the site "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you"

I am using SharePoint Foundation 2013 , i have backed up the site using powershell with the following command:
-backup-spsite -identity http://dmsserver/sites/demo/ -path C:\SPSiteBackup.bak
After backup finished, i can't access the site, the message "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you" appears, even the site administrator collection is configured coorectly, with the Administrator account.
Whats the problem?
Please Advice.

Hi husseinsa,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not access the site after backing up the site collection in SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
Could you access other sites at the same site collection?
Let’s do a troubleshooting for this issue:
Please delete the IE cache: IE options->General->Delete, select all checkboxes, and click Delete.
Go to CA->Application Management->Manage web applications, select the web application which hosts the problematic site .
Click Permisson Policy, make sure there are not any deny policies for site collection administrator and site collection auditor.
Back to the web application list page, click User Policy, check whether there are any user policies for denying permissions.
Change the site collection administrator or add a secondary site collection administrator in CA, then use the new site collection administrator to log in the site, compare the result.
Open IIS, expand the server, and click application pools.
Find the problematic web application pool, make the identity of the pool is correct, then do an IISRESET, compare the result.
If this issue still exists, please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path of the log file is
: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Or you can use Event Viewer(Start->Run->event viewer) to find the log.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

For your issue, please check whether everyone has the permission of accessing “Shared with everyone” OneDrive folder.
You can go to your OneDrive -> My Documents. Click Sharing column of “Shared with everyone” folder, make sure it is shared with everyone:

OneDrive for Business/SharePoint API - GET folders 'shared with me' if shared from a group/s.

Does anybody have any ideas of how to get the list of folders shared with a user from a group?
I can already retrieve files shared with a user from another user with:
https://{tenant}-my.sharepoint.com/_api/search/query?querytext='(SharedWithUsersOWSUSER: {account_name} AND contentclass:STS_ListItem_MySiteDocumentLibrary)'
but this end point does not show any of the files if they were shared from a group, is this possible with the REST API?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi SpringComp,
You can change the root path for libraries you sync to your computer, though you can do this only if you’re not currently syncing any libraries. If you’re already syncing at least one library and you want to change the path, you must first
stop syncing all libraries. Then, the first time you run the OneDrive for Business wizard to sync a library to your computer, you’ll see an option to change the location.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

UDPATE:
Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated. Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi). Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in iCloud. Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync. Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
BOTTOM LINE workaround:
1. Backup contacts
2. Delete contacts in iCloud
3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented. This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

HT204387 can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce?

can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce? i would like to to stay with Apple iphone but if they dont improve the lack of features.. i will move on and I know im not the only person to think like this.

gavin_p

There is not "fix" to be provided, Apple made a decision to not include the file sharing profile.
You are welcome to provide feedback, but after six years, I would not hold your breath.

I set up family sharing with a secondary ID and now can't add my primary ID to the group.

I signed up for family sharing with a secondary Apple ID that I use for the iTunes store, and included my wife in the group. When I try to also include my primary Apple ID, I get an error message that says "You cannot send an invitation to your own account." The iOS Family Share page lists the secondary ID as the account to share purchases but also shows my primary ID at the top of the page, so apparently has my family group linked to that account as well. I do have some apps in my main account that I need to include in the family group, so I do I get Apple to allow me to include both IDs in that group?
<Email Edited by Host>

In my case the email I had for the family share account was my secondary ID, also listed on my primary account as a backup. I removed it as a backup, but family share still shows that primary ID listed under my name in the Family Share account, but the secondary as the account that will share purchases in Family Share. It still won't let me add the apps in the primary account into family share.

Another "This itunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different icloud account than Apple ID "

I saw another thread on the matter but thought I would post because the circumstances are different. Here is how it happened.
I have had an Apple Store account for years and until recently our family has only had our one Mac and my iPhone 4. Thus any purchases we have made on the Apple App Store were made only with this account.
We recently purchased two iPhone 5S's--one for my wife and one for my daughter. Neither had Apple IDs so first we set up my wife's iPhone and created an Apple ID for her. Next we used the Family Sharing feature to set up an account for our "under age 13" daughter.
Because I am still waiting for my iPhone 6 Plus to arrive, and because the iPhone 4 cannot upgrade to iOS 8, and because my Apple ID is the only account with any apps that have been purchased in prior years, I set up my wife as the Family Organizer but when I set up her account, I chose the option to "share purchases from a different account" and entered the information for my Apple ID.
My daughter is able to view my prior purchases on her iPhone, but when my wife tries to view my prior purchases, she receives the message "This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than <her Apple ID>."
I hope Apple is reading this. I would be more than willing to help them on this one as this feature is one of the main reasons I put our family on iPhones.

I had this problem. I finally figured it out yesterday. Try this:
On the device that is having trouble seeing purchases, go to Settings>iCloud>Family Sharing> Then tap on the user of the device you are on. Under "Family Purchases" make sure it has the AppleID of the person for that device. Mine originally had my husbands AppleID in there (he is the Organizer), but I changed it to mine. That doesn't make it so that the purchases are under me. The purchases remained under my husband, but my ID had to be in this spot for it to work.
After that, I closed settings, then I went to Settings>iTunes and App Store> click on the AppleID and Sign Out, even if it has the right AppleID in there. Then Sign In again using the AppleID of the person on that device. Again-- even if it has the right ID in there to start, still sign out and back in.
See if they show up. If they don't show up still, try doing a restart (hold down power button and home button until it restarts).
They should show up by then, but if they don't, at that point, try to go into iCloud and Sign Out and back in.
I think the key is having the right ID in "Family Purchases". I hope this works for you.

File sharing with multiple users on one Mac

I have two Macs, both of which ca seen each other across the network. My question regards file sharing with multiple users on the same computer. When file sharing, are the files from all users available across the network, or just those of the user presently logged in? The issue is that I am trying to access files from a user who isn't currently logged in, but another user on that computer is. I need to get into that person's documents, but I don't see a way to navigate to their documents folder.

Right, I got that. But the computer is in constant use by User A, while I need access to User B's files. I could need access at anytime, and it would be a pain to make User A log off and log in as User B everytime. I was just wondering if there is anyway to access User B's files in this situation, without logging User B in.

Family sharing with a non primary iCloud ID?!

I have been living in different countries for the past couple years.
I have:
Account A - primary iCloud account (also as developer account) set to HK (no iOS App purchases)
Account B - my App Store account in HK
Account C - my old Canadian iTunes account where I bought apps and most of my movies (even now) when iTunes wasn't available in HK.
My question is .... My iPhone, iPad, Macbook are all using my Account A as primary account. iPhone, iPad can let me set iTunes with a different account (Account B & C) other than my primary iCloud account.
When I tried to set up family sharing with Account C so my brother and sister can share the movies I bought from Canadian iTunes, it asked me to log out my iCloud Account A from iPhone and login with the one I want to share. But my all my Apple devices are using my Account A as primary where phone book, calendar and more are associated with. How may I set family sharing on Account C ONLY without setting up Account C as my iPhone iCloud account on my phone or any other Apple devices?
Thank you very much and looking forward to hear from anyone of you.
Regards,
Richard

Howdy Willoughbee,
It sounds like you want to know if you can use Family Sharing to share purchases with with other family members when you aren’t the Organizer. Yes, the article linked below provides a lot of great information about Family Sharing and will walk you through sharing purchases with family members.

How can I see all media others shared with me?

For the first time, somebody shared a photo with me on Ovi. Wow! - Of course, basically it didn't work. I got a text message on my phone saying that:
Ovi by Nokia: friendsnickname has shared a photo with you.
http://share.ovi.com/mobile/media/friendsnickname.%3emynickname/friendsnickname.10003
When I open this link, I am first asked to input username and password (can't this thing remember me?) - and then I get an error message:
You cannot perform this action.
Sorry. We are unable to display this page. Media is required.
So, they sent a link that doesn't work on their own system. Fine.Doesn't matter, I thought, because now that I'm identified, I can sure browse the mediaI've been given access to. Like open my friend's profile from my contacts and see what he shared. Or whatever.
I didn't find a way to do so. There's no link whatsoever that takes me to media he shared.
Meanwhile, he tried sending me an email from within ovi, and it seems this time it works. I can see the image when I click on the link in this email (the link looks totally different from the one in the text message.) - Still, there's no way for me to come back in a few days (when I deleted themail) and say: "Hey, I remember this guy had a funny photo he shared with me. I want to see it again" - Right?
Or how would I do it?
Message Edited by benny1967 on 11-Oct-2009 02:36 PM

Well, the person who shared the image is a contact of mine. He was before he sent me the link(s).
Still, when I click on his nickname from my contacts, I see nothing. (I mean, I see some Info, like when he joined Ovi etc., but then there's only:
Recent media
No items available.
Recent albums
No albums available.
Contacts
No contacts available.
Nothing that would lead me to this photo.
I wish I would be in a management position there, for the forst time in my life I feel I want to fire people. A lot of people.
(I agree aboutmultiselect. How braindead is that? Do they want me to delete/move files one at a time???)

How can I organize multiple iWorks documents shared with me via iCloud?

Hi,
I'm just exploring iWorks for iCloud beta (i4ib). A friend shared a Numbers spreadsheet with me via iCloud. I can open it and edit it as expected. So far, so good. The two of us plan to work on several spreadsheets like this over the next two months. Going back to an old email to retrieve the link to each file when we need it "just ain't Apple" if you'll allow me to paraphrase a quote from Happy Feet.
We would like to be able to use iCloud to organize the spreadsheets *someone has shared with us* so we could access them using the same Spreadsheet Manager tool in iCloud that we would use for any other spreadsheets *we have created and stored on iCloud*. So far I haven't been able to discern how to do so and cannot tell if this is a supported use or not. Does anyone know how to do this? Have I just managed to miss it in the hints and help available?
In the mean time I've copied the a link for each of the spreadsheets he shared with me to a folder on my Safari favorites bar. That work around is suitable for very small collaboration exercises but far from optimal for anyone who envisions using iCloud for collaboration on a larger scale. I thought I'd ask the question before I tried to submit this as feedback to Apple.
Regards,
Elise
PS - I used *bold* to emphasize the difference between a spreadsheet I "own" because I created it and one created by someone else and shared with me.

What you want is not yet possible, so you should use the feedback channel to ask Apple to add it. If Googledocs is better at this (I think it is from what I have read), you should make that point.

How can I use Internet Sharing with Firewall on ?

Hi,
My PowerMac G5 is connected to the internet via Ethernet. I share the connection to a Powerboog via Airport using internet sharing. Everything is working fine except when I turn the Firewall on. After reading http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107653 I tried opening port 443 but it still does'nt work. I'd like to be able to use internet sharing with the firewall on. Anyone can help me ? Thanks!

Hmmm, how curious... I never had to do that in 10.4.7 or 10.4.8... the only ones I ever tried Internet Sharing with.
I'm wondering if turning the Firewall on after the Internet sharing is what's doing it? Just for kicks you might try turning off Internet Sharing, then Firewall on, then turn on Internet Sharing.
If that doesn't work, then I'd personally try trashing...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
Then reboot and try the Firewall again.

How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

Morning Saintine,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

HT202213 Trying to activate home sharing with new iTunes update, says error #5506, any ideas? Worked great before this update!

I'm trying to use home sharing with the latest iTunes update. Keep getting error message 5506-any idea how to resolve this error and share at home?

Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.
