SMB/Windows Sharing Issues after 10.4.4 Update?

After upgrading to 10.4.4, I'm finding that I'm now unable to connect via my Windows XP Workstation. I've been using the combination of Windows Sharing and SharePoints to share out some directories to my XP box, which has been working great until this update.
I've double checked that Windows Sharing is still enabled (and have turned it off and back on), rebooted, checked my SharePoints configuration, fixed permissions, etc.
Is anyone else out there having problems with Windows Sharing after this update?

Please ignore this post. I realized that I had installed new firewall software on my Windows XP Workstation that was causing the issue.
Thanks,

SMB (Windows Sharing)

I have 10.4.9 (regular version, not server) and I also have 4 hard drives on my mac. I want to access all the hard drives, and all their contents from my pc. Using SMB (Windows Sharing) on the sharing control panel just lets me share my home folder, and nothing else. How do I share everything? Additionally, on my PC I have XP Pro SP2. How can I access my PC's hard drive from my mac?

Have a look at Hornware:Sharepoints found here <http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/>. It allows you to easily specify certain folders or drives for sharing to Windows machines.
What specific problem are you having when trying to connect from your Mac to your Windows machine?
Hope this helps! bill

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: my husband's phone and my phone get the same phone calls ONLY when we are home. Any suggestions on where to look to fix this?

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: all the iphones in the house receive the same phone calls ONLY while we are at home. Any ideas on how to fix this?

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

IPad2 Issues after iOS 8.1 update

iPad2 64g wifi + cellular -   very slow and non-responsive since iOS 8.1 update. nonstandard Apps seem to be working fine.. it’s the standard item like photos and safari that don't respond.
photos - (which I use daily to show clients examples) will freeze and kick me out back to the home page when trying to do anything from open a photo for viewing to trying to delete a photo. Edit.. forget it.   better off using an alternate app to edit a photo as it locks up and crashes every time.   I really need to be able to view the photos on my iPad2
safari -   good luck using any hyper link…. It doesn’t respond.   Even at Apple’s website.   Sometimes it crashes but most of the time it just ignores me like I haven’t touched the screen
Overall - the touch screen is glitchy since the iOS 8.1 update. It was slow after the iOS 8.0 update but has become almost unusable after the 8.1 update.
I cannot afford to purchase a new iPad. And I really need to find a way to make this one work.
I did read about how to restore to an older iOS version.   The only problems are all of my laptop is Windows based and the instructions assumed you had a Mac.   I did a backup to iTunes prior to the 8.0 update but I have also done backups since.   So I am not sure I have a “clean” iOS 7 backup.
Any ideas would be appreciated   Thank you in advance for your help

For the touch issues in Safari, does scrolling or zooming the page before you try to tap a link make it work again? I've read a few posts that this may be a workaround for that issue.

Display Issue after 10.9.2 update

After updating my Macbook Pro with Retina to 10.9.2 -- My display flickers for a second after sleep and or blank screen and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having display issues after updating?

Yes similar problem here: I have a MacBook Pro, 15 inch Retina, Mid 2012, and when I connect a secondary display via HDMI (and also HDMI-to-Thunderbolt) then the external monitor becomes the main display.
I have not figured out on how to switch back to former settings. My guess: it's a bug. A quick search confirms that many others have secondary display issues since 10.9.2
(Steve would have fired those lazy punks, who failed to do sincere testing before release …)

How i get by with the sleep, pause issue after 1.0.2 update

ok. i'm sure you guys are aware of the ipod sleeping/pausing issue after updating your ipod to 1.0.2. my ipod will pause whenever it is in the jensen dock station and the green battery indicator shows up. whenever i use the dock or remote to unpause the song, a few seconds later, it pauses again. so instead of using the dock or remote to play, unpause, whatever, i connect the ipod to the dock and use the wheel to navigate and 'only' use the play/pause button on the ipod itself to kick off the playing of music. if i go back to the remote, the ipod pauses. if i only use the menu and play/pause button on the wheel, my songs do not pause. it sure was nice using the remote before 1.0.2. i mean, it did come with the dock for my remoting pleasure but alas, i shall wait on the next update. hope this helps someone.

I will have to try that... I took my iPod to work today and plugged it into my JBL docking station and it was skipping. I did notice it seemed to go to sleep more often when I used the remote... There's a whole other forum on this maybe you could check out too. But it's really annoying and I hope Apple comes out with a fix soon! I will definitely try to use the iPod wheel tomorrow and not the remote.

Massive battery drain issues after the latest software update - phone hot

After the latest software update (to the NI2 version) I have massive battery drain issues. The phone also stays hot. Even when I don't actively use the phone it seems to stay "awake" according to the stats. When I disable all data (Wifi and/or 3G/4G) it's perfectly fine. Does anyone else experience the same issues or has recommendations?

Is the device trying to sync all your photos with the cloud?
This is what I would do.
Back up your photos and music onto a personal computer. Copy down important settings like for your email, and contacts you can't risk losing.. even icon placement of important apps. Diagram it out.
Then perform a Factory reset on the device. Alternatively you might find the procedure for wiping the low level cache of the device posted in other posts on the site. That might fix the problem and avoid you losing settings and content on your device.
Extremely bizarre behavior post updates are usually associated with low level cache issues that cause the OS to behave poorly. Some people have reported their phones running hot and that could mean the radio is on constantly attempting to back stuff up to the cloud our restore stuff.
Good luck.

Satellite 100-192: Issues after the latest MS update...

Satellite 100-192.
After the latest MS update I first had the problem with the Realtek sound card driver. I solved it by applying the patch MS provided.
Now the problem is that the disc cleanup utility does not launch. Anybody any idea?

I just found out that my disc cleanup utility would not work because of a free program called Photo Toolkit. Although it is a nice little program to quickly edit photos, apparently it causes such problems when it is loaded.

Odd sharing issue after updating to 10.7.4

Ok, first of all I made the jump from 10.6.8 straight to 10.7.4 on both my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 Quad 3 Ghz and my 2010 MacBookPro
Till this upgrade I was able to file share and mount either computers hard drive(s) on the other coputers desktop as a shared drive. However, what I experience now in Lion is that while using the Mac Pro, I am able to see the MacBookPro, share the screen, and mount the drive on the Mac Pro desktop. However, on the MacBookPro I can see the Mac Pro in my side bar, but when I click on it it says connection failed. I get the following message when I try to connect as:
There was a problem connecting to the server "macpro"
Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator.
I can however share the screen just fine. I just can't mount the drive as a shared drive like I was able to under SL. This is getting really frustrating as I have check, rechecked the network and sharing settings and everything looks like it should on both computers. I can't find where I can go to try to "check the server name or IP address" as the message tells me to do, so even if it's wrong somewhere I have no way to find what its pointing to and "fix" it.
The only oddity that I can see is that on the Mac Pro when it's set to connect to the Macbook Pro using an AFP location. However on the Macbook pro trying to connect to the Mac Pro it lists a VPN location? yet I cannot find where this is to change it to an AFP location to see if that solves the issue. I'm pretty stumped here .
The LAN setup I have is a DSL modem/router that is hard connected to my Mac Pro, and my Macbook pro connects to it via wi-fi. This setup hasn't changed since updating to Iion. I'm able to connect to the internet fine. I just don't get why I can't mount my Mac Pro hard drives on my desktop as I used to be able to.

I was having the exact same symptom. In my case 2 other Macs (Air and Macbook Pro) were backing up to a shared drive on my Mac Mini server. After the upgrade to 10.7.4 on the Mac Mini I noticed that backups were completely stopped (unable to mount drive).
I went to the Mac Mini server and ensured AFP was checked and just in case also explicitly added SMB access for the users that would be doing the backups. Here is a screen shot of my settings:
In my case that STILL was not enough. For the machine I had upgraded to 10.7.4 (Air) it failed with some sort of mount error. Ugh! Via another post I learned that 10.7.4 was not going to be happy until it started fresh with a new Time Machine image. So I backed up the Air to a different drive on the Mini, erased the original image and then backed up to the original drive.
At this point I can't say which combo was sufficient to fix my problems... much less yours. Hope this helps.

Nokia 520- Internet Sharing Issue After WinPhone 8...

I recently updated my Lumia 520 (AT&T) to WinPhone 8.1 OS. Since the update was installed, I am unable to turn on my internet sharing (mobile hotspot). I receive the following message on the screen, "Connect not shared. To enable tethering on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611." I have spoken with AT&T technical support on several occasions and they do not see an issue with my plan. I also have a second device (another Lumia 520) on my plan that was currently running WinPhone 8.0 and successfully sharing internet as a mobile hotspot. Today, I manually updated the OS on that device to WinPhone 8.1 and as expected, the internet sharing functionality stopped working after the update.
I have looked through various message boards and posts related to similar issues, however I cannot find one that is directly attributed to the WinPhone 8.1 update.
Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Abi99
After I pulled the battery to get the product code, the error message when I try to start ICS changed to: Connection not Shared. Internet sharing isn't currently available
I am still on AT&T. However, I ported the number (not the device) out to T-mob and then back to AT&T 3 weeks later. I used the 520 on WiFi in the interim 3 weeks, and during this time, it received the 8.1 update notification, and I installed 8.1.
Which connection profile is choosen in Lumia » menu » settings » celluar+SIM » SIM settings?
Active network: AT&T
Data Connection: On
Don't Roam
SIM Settings: SIM
No data under APN settings (all fields empty)
add internet APN » APN wap.cingular » save » power off » power on: Does it work?
Tried, doesn't work
add internet APN » APN phone » save » power off » power on: Does it work?
Tried, doesn't work. But after this change, the error messgae goes back to the original one:
Connection not shared. To enabled tethering on this device go to ; http ~ or dila 611

Is anyone having Web Sharing issues after switching from 10.6 to Mountain Lion?

I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) but I wanted to see if anyone is experiencing any issues with their Web Sharing after making the switch. I use Web Sharing daily to build and test web sites for my clients and when I made the switch to 10.6 none of my database driven sites worked. Ultimately I had to install a new version of PHP 5 because 10.6 came with and older version. And I had to reinstall SQL for my databases along with some other related items. It wasn't a major problem but it took a couple of days to track down the issue. Anyone seen any weirdness like that with Mountain Lion?

Web sharing is absent in Mountain Lion. Apple removed the feature. There're some unofficial hacks to bring it back, search the forums.

HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO GET A GOOD COPY OF THIS FILE. I TRIED TO DO AS MUCH TROUBLE SHOOTING AS POSSIBLE.       ***UNDER CONTRACT****

This issue still exists! My issue has not been resolved and is only getting worse. I'm now receiving a windows update standalone installer- installed encountered error 08x00704c7 server execution error. In addition, I am unable to attach
to Microsoft's server????? I received nothing that would have helped me to answer my question in my inbox and I did make additional comments on this page for this issue.
It was stated that I was unable to run the dism command!!!!!!!!! Rights issue? Windows update is not functioning either (see above)
Thanks for you help thus far I am still trying to copy some data into this problem to include with the issue.

Web Sharing issue after restore

After restoring my imac from a time machine backup recently, everything is working great apart from my Web Sharing.
I used to go to http://localhost/~username, that just gives localhost, server not found.
I can still connect to the mysql server at localhost, but any attempt to browse any of my created sites comes up blank and looks to be a possible apache problem as http://localhost is also blank.
In sharing prefs, web sharing is on, I've turned it off and on again. The weird thing is that where it previously would say http://localhost/~username it not says http://codename.lan.
Connecting to this doesn't work surprisingly so I don't know what to say!
Any starting places would be most welcome!

Window size issues after migrating for 15 to 13

I have moved from a 15 inch MBP to a 13 and some of applications have kept the same settings from the previous computer. For the most part this is great but some windows are too big for the display eg itunes. I cannot get at the resize bit on the window and the green + is not helping. Is there a shortcut or menu that will help me get the window the right size.

Head to the "Windows" menu in iTunes and click on "Zoom", Will. The same applies in most other properly written applications for the Mac.
Cheers
