SL not showing my windows servers under "shared" anymore

This worked perfectly before 10.6, but my Home Server and my PC are no longer appearing under "Shared" nor do they appear when I browse. I have to manually enter the IP address in the connection dialog to get to them, and even then, I don't see all of the files.
This is a bummer as this was working SOOOOO seamlessly before. Their names would appear perfectly under shared, and all was well in the Universe. Now I have to jump through hoops.
What changed, and is there anything I can do to make it go back to the way it was?

Have you seen this KB from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549
It talks about joining a windows "Workgroup" and has details on how to do that. Maybe it can help.
At the bottom of that KB are links to CIFS browser troubleshooting and overviews. I bet your issue is a CIFS browser problem.

  • PC server not showing up in Finder under shared

    Hi
    I installed Leopard on the 26th and my home windows PC is not showing up under shared and its not showing up in the network folder under mshome like it did in tiger. ive checked the PC and file sharing is enabled in the firewall and i even installed bonjour for windows but no luck.
    the only way i can do it is "connect to server" (command-k) in the finer and use SMB smb://IP/shared name but it shows up under shared with an apple display icon and the PCs IP address. i was under the impression that PC servers automagically appear in the finder under shared with its shared name and a PC icon with the "blue screen of death". how do i get it to do this?
    thanks

    Hi,
    One of the posters in this forum said that you had to do the change of workgroup in a Location profile that's not active. Then, change to that inactive Location profile for the thing to work.
    Here's what I did on mine. I created a copy of the current working Location profile. Using the copy, I went to the WINS section and changed the workgroup to whatever my workgroup name was (make sure you press ENTER too for the workgroup name to stick). Then, I switched to the copy.

    Hello Bhagyeshree
    Check out the articles below to troubleshoot issues with connecting to Wi-Fi. Start with creating a new Network Location and then search for a Wi-Fi network and if that does not work, then go through second article to troubleshoot the issue further.

  • My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes.  I've removed and reinstalled itunes, stopped and started apple mobile services and changed out cables.  Ipod is charging when connected.  I've also done a complete rollback to factory defaults.

    My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes, I've removed and reinstalled Itunes.  I've done a factory default, and I've changed out cables. The ipod shows connected but does not show.

    Did you remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Run this to see if it helps determine the cause

    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • MacBook shows up multiple times under 'Shared' in finder

    My MacBook keeps showing up multiple times under 'Shared' in the Finder sidebar. All sharing services are turned of in System Preferences. The number in the computer name is automatically added. When I change the computer name to another name, all existing 'ghost computers' stay there in the sidebar.  How do I get rid of these?

    Known bug. Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Some people have managed to stop this behavior by going to System Preferences/Sharing and stopping all sharing except screen sharing.

  • Hey Apples Users, my iPod 80 GB ins not showing in windows, itunes and my computer

    First of all does, the iPod power on okay? 
    Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB ports, preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC tower (these are directly soldered onto the motherboard and receive much high outputs of power than the ones on the front).
    What about a different USB sync cable?
    What shows up on the iPod's screen when you connect it?  Does it charge at all?  Maybe try resetting it with it still connected to your PC.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i deleted itunes and reloaded, it showed up for awhile, said it was restarting my ipad and now is not showing up again, any ideas??

    My itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i uninstalled itunes and reloaded, the ipad showed up for awhile, as updates were happening, it then said the ipad was restarting and now it is not showing up again, any ideas?? I was trying to sync my calendar and contacts which worked perfectly last time. Now when I plug in the ipad it brings up adobe photoshop album start - photo downloader and looks like it is trying download photos as if it is only seeing the ipad as a camera. very frustrating!

    Windows ONLY sees iPads and iPhones as a camera.  This is nothing new or different.
    When you open iTunes and connect the device, does iTunes detect the device?
    Have you tried a different USB port? Restarting the computer? Restarting the device?
    Frankly, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes is a bit of a drastic step as it was likely unnecessary.

  • Home Sharing is enable but not showing up on page under devices????

    I've sat here for hours now trying to figure out why my Home Sharing is not showing up on my page.  Someone please help!!!!!!!!!

    I have a similar problem.  I have iTunes/iPod running on my Windows 7 PC, I have chosen and selected "Home Share" in iTunes on the PC yet when I try to used the iTunes home share on my iPad it continues to show me that I need to activate Home Share in iTunes on my PC.
    I would also like to mention that Home Share has never displayed in the "library" menu on the left in iTunes.  What am I doing wrong?  Does my iPod need to be plugged into my PC?  My music is of course loaded on it and my PC.  None of my devices show unless they are plugged into the PC.
    Thanks for your help!

  • HT202213 Home Sharing not showing in Windows 7

    Hi, trying to set up home sharing. Have followed all the steps in setting it up but icon does not show up in the side bar or drop down menu. Have also gone to file - home sharing - turn on etc ....Any suggestions???

    Howdy Jst Eph Oph,
    It sounds like you have done the appropriate troubleshooting from the proper article for the Home Sharing function not appearing in the File menu of iTunes. I would next verify the version number of iTunes that is opening when you launch iTunes.
    iTunes: How to find which version you are using
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1208
    If it is other than 11.1.3 I would try running software update, or reinstalling iTunes from the download page here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    I was also thinking if the software is up to date, and you have re installed it but the version number is still not current, I would check the /Applications folder for mutliple copies of iTunes or launch it from there.
    I would also check for 3rd party plugins that may be interfering with iTunes functions if the verison number is correct.

  • Remote app on iPad2 not showing iTunes interface on ATV2 shared library

    I have an AppleTV 2 that's sharing an iTunes library via home sharing over Ethernet from a Mac Mini. Running Remote App on my iPhone 5S, I can control that library as expected. Running Remote App on my iPad2, however, I'm unable to see the main iTunes-like interface that lists songs, albums, artists, etc. on the shared library. While I can see the currently playing song at the top of the screen and have access to the Back, Pause, and Forward buttons, the main pane below that only shows the icons for Home Sharing and Using Gestures. Under Home Sharing, where it says "Tap the Apple TV button in the bottom left...," there's not Apple TV button, only "Devices." I can use the gestures interface in Remote App on the iPad2 to control playback, but I never see the main library interface. Any thoughts you have for remedying this would be really appreciated!

    Well the response I got to the above post was outstanding!
    Shall we put this in the bracket along with "If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
    If anyone is wondering, for my party I ended up using my Mac as the server for the iTunes DJ. And I discovered that if more than 5-7 people try to get onto it, it crashes the whole system and the music stops. Glorious.

  • Face Time for mac does not show contacts window or allow me to sign in

    My Facetime for Mac launches but does not show me my Contacts sidebar or allow me to 'Sign In'. Preferences is grayed out as well.
    It works under a new user account (System Preferences > Accounts). I added a contact into the blank address book to test it out. I'm troubleshooting it right now to get it to work under my account, I think it has something to do with not fully accessing the keychain.
    The tell-tell sign for me is when I launch FaceTime for Mac the preview window does not show immediately. I have to click on the app a second time for the window to appear. This does not happen under the new account
    I have already:
    - Restarted
    - Removed preferences and Caches
    - Re-installed Face Time
    - Repaired and reset keychains
    - Signed in under a different MobileMe account in System Preferences
    Any other suggestions

    SOLVED !!
    After many, many more steps and close to total ruin of my MobileMe sync structure, I have the found the hidden files to remove that solved my problem.
    ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist temp
    ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .6Va7JFn [+these letters may be than different yours+]
    Logged out, then back in again
    When I launched Facetime it worked exactly as it does on my test user account.
    here are the terminal commands to try for your solution
    cd ~/Library/Preferences/
    ls -A [+To get the letters for the third file+]
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ temp
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ .[+your letters+]
    Please Post any problems you run into or if it doesn't work.
