[Solved]Nautilus won't display any shares

When I click on Browse Network in Nautilus, I see the Windows Network icon. When I click on it, however, I see nothing at all... not my Arch desktop computer or my wife's Windows 8 computer. I have been troubleshooting this for a while. I have checked to make sure that samba is running, and using smbtree I get the following information
Enter mike's password:
MINE
\\TAWNYALAPTOP
\\ARCHDESKTOP Samba 4.0.9
\\ARCHDESKTOP\mike Mike's Desktop Documents
\\ARCHDESKTOP\IPC$ IPC Service (Samba 4.0.9)
Obviously Samba is working, and it sees both my wife's computer and my desktop. I DO have gvfs-smb installed... please help!!!

gvfs-smb rarely works in my experience. It hangs when you are actually transferring files with it. What I use, and what is rock-solid is cifs shares.
Install the smbclient package if you haven't already.
Add to your /etc/fstab:
//SHODAN/DATA /mnt/Shodan cifs username=<Windows-User-Name>,password=<password>,workgroup=WORKGROUP,noauto,uid=<Linux-User-Name>,gid=users,file_mode=0644,rw 0 0
Where SHODAN is the computer's name with the share and DATA is the share name. And where /mnt/Shodan is a directory in your file-system to take the mount.
In /etc/nsswitch.conf add "wins" to the hosts line so it looks like this:
hosts: files dns wins myhostname
Adding wins enables NETBIOS look-ups so you don't have to use IP addresses.
Then just mount/umount the share as normal. It works, and it works solid.

Private Photos App - pictures not displaying This app was working fine, then suddenly it won`t display any of the photos.

This app was working fine, then suddenly it won't display any of the photos. One day the photos were there, gone the next. It still shows how many photos are there but just shows a white screen. I can't export anything to the photo album. Adding photos to existing folders yields the same result, only white screen displayed. However, I can create new albums and add photos to those without issue. Does anybody know how to recover the "missing" photo" I was going to try reinstalling the app but it's no longer available in the iTunes App Store. Thanks, Tracy

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
Can anybody help at all?

Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?

I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out

I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out. I've tried 2 different splitter cables out of the earphone jack. I've tried plugging the RCA cables into different colors on the tv. Thought it was just a problem with the cables until tonight when I got a Sonic Impact V55. Video won't display on it either. I have the TV setting to ask. After it asks and I say yes, I get a picture of an Ipod cable connector and a message saying: TV OUT
ENABLED Please Connect Video Accessory.
This message happens on both splitter cables and using the dock connection on the V55. I've restored, reset, nothing has helped.
I did see a couple of posts regarding the V55 and whether the 5th gen would work on it. Does anyone have a v55 that the ipods working with? Heck the box says it works with Ipod 5th gen.

It goes trough the place where you put youre dock conector in (on the bottom)
Yes it does, on the 5th generation (pre-Classic) models, the video does indeed feed out the headphone jack (as well as out the dock connector on the bottom).

Firefox won't display ANY videos, but Chrome/IE will.

It's all in the title really. FF won't display any videos. In Youtube, the screen is black, apart from the red "play" button in the middle. When I click play it says "an error has occurred". In any other video sites the video section is blank, white. I have uninstalled/reinstalled both Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. Firefox is also fully updated.

hello, yes, you'd have to uninstall flash from the windows control panel in windows7 (just diabling it in firefox won't work in this case). alternatively you could run the uninstaller-tool that adobe provides on its website: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Safari, won't display any windows??

Hi all,
Just went to use Safari only to discover it won't display any windows, of any kind. I've tried 'new window', 'new tab', 'open location/file' and it even won't open the 'Preferences' window!? It seems to be creating them as I can see them in the window drop down but displaying them nowhere...
It's the latest version, it's not assigned to a specific desktop and I've reduced the desktops down to one to make sure they're not getting 'lost' in another desktop...
Any ideas?

ITunes library won't display any songs?

Recently I got my Hard Drive replaced at the Apple store and I was left with zero data on the drive. When I got home I started up my Mac and did the whole registration and asked it to restore from my Time Machine back-up. It all went smoothly until I opened iTunes and all that showed up was just a blank space where my music should be. The alternating blue and white lines weren't even there, it was just blank. I tried dragging and dropping my iTunes folder to the iTunes icon and the songs started playing, but still nothing is being displayed. How can I fix this?

I am having the same problem. iTunes won't display any of the songs in my library - it's just a blank screen. The songs are there because they play. I can listen to them, I just cannot see them.

Messages app won't display any windows

My Messages app (v 7.0.1) intermittently won't display any windows, not even the Preferences. I've tried reloading the app from Time Machine, but it won't let me replace an the current version.
I'm running a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz under 10.8.5.
Any ideas?

HI,
The Time Machine version needs to be the same version as is used in OS X 10.8.5
This will be version 7.0.1 which came with the OS X 10.8.2 update.
the Process should be to go to Applications and find the Messages app.
Then use the Time Machine icon in the Dock.
This will reduce the window and display the galaxy in the background.
On the right are the arrows and dates for moving "back in time".
The window should also have become "stacked" with those older versions behind.
Changing the date should file through the stacked windows until the process finds a change to the Applications Folder.
If you went back until a change in Messages you probably got the wrong version (or a version that will not work with a later version of the OS).
Try this:-
In any Finder window use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that now appears in the Menu list
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.ichat.plist
Drag it to the Trash and restart the app.
This .plist holds the windowing Info for the app.
I am presuming you have tried the keystrokes seen in the Window Menu of Messages ?
however it also holds all the info about the Preferences except for the accounts.
This means any change you have made from the Defaults will be reset.
The Messages section on Fonts and Colours is the most commonly changed.
All the Alerts will be reset if you changed them.

Safari 4.0.3 Starts but won't display any windows properly

Since accepting the update to Safari 4.0.3 this morning, Safari starts but will not display any windows, just the main application menu bar.
Trying new window has no effect and launching a history item either has no effect or safari crashes complaining that the crash could have had something to do with
libcooliris.dylib
I therefore removed /Library/InputManagers/Cooliris but this made no difference.
History flow displays but won't launch any windows and strangely Menu>History>Home opens a window but there are no tabs nor URL nor search bar, but there is only the history bar. The window is all grey including where the page should be.
Trying to open other history items in this window changes the title, but no page contents are displayed.
I also tried reinstalling 4.0.3. from the Apple website, but this made no difference.
Have you any idea what I could try next?
Thanks

Deleted all from /Library/InputManagers and problem solved.
I did have the following:
Cooliris
QuicKeysIM
Saft
DeliciousSafari
SIMBL
TabExpose
Not sure where the problem was, but did find the following in the log after running permissions fix in Disk Utility:

[SOLVED] ePDFView won't display all pictures

I'm having some issues with my ePDFView PDF reader. There are alot of pictures it simply won't display. About 25% of the pictures (in average) in my PDF documents shows up as grey blocks with the same shape and size as the original picture. This is the case for external documents (made by others), and my own home cooked ones.

[SOLVED] Xmobar won't display over app windows on Xmonad

Xmobar will not start automatically or display over top of application windows in Xmonad. It does launch if I explicitly launch it from an xterm. However, it only shows up on empty workspaces. It doesn't matter if an application window was opened before or after the launching of xmobar. It will always cover it up.
My relevent installed packages are xmobar, xmonad, xmonad-contrib, hsetroot, some gtk user applications, X, and the free ATI video drivers. I've pastebin'd my bash_profile, .xinitrc, .xmonad.hs, and .xmobarrc. I also included the output of pacman -S xmonad-contrib as it complained about some doc files missing.
.bash_profile: http://pastebin.com/zAVt2jCa
.xinitrc: http://pastebin.com/HzCmvTgD
.xmonad.hs: http://pastebin.com/6vt7qK3m
.xmobarrc: http://pastebin.com/GqpXeuSc
pacman -S xmonad-contrib: http://pastebin.com/wtN2S533
I don't know any Haskell, and I'm an Arch n00b, so I've mostly gone off templates and some irc help. So if there's anything utterly silly about my setup, let me have it. =P Thanks for the help guys.
edit: Just a thought: When I was running Debian, I actually had the same exact problem. However, I was using a completely different users xmonad.hs and xmobarrc. At the time I chalked it up to gdm or nautilus or something from GNOME running in the background. But since I'm having the same problem on an entirely different machine with an entirely differnet users config files and probably different versions of everything.. could it be video card related?
Last edited by drvladimirtzu (2012-09-29 07:57:16)

So it turns out, I had xmonad.hs as ~/.xmonad.hs not ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs... Pretty embarassing. But I'll resist the temptation to delete the thread in hopes someone gets a chuckle out of it. In my defence, I did figure it out all on my own.

IPad app store won't display certain apps, and itunes store won't display any searches at all

Hi. My problem started when instagram won't open bc it says I have an old version, but everytime I checked the "updates" in the app store, instagram doesn't appear. So I deleted it. Now no matter how I search on my iPad for instagram and other certain apps (like 8tracks), they won't appear in the search results! Even when I try to download the apps via the iTunes store, nothing I search on iTunes ever displays. It just loads and stops halfway. I've tried downloading a new iTunes and restoring my iPad but nothing works. Can anyone help me please?

We are all users here, just like you. You can tell Apple about your suggestions by using this link:

New versions of apps might need other hardware requirements and will not work on older devices.
