Some macs don't appear in shared menu

I've got an iMac, mac mini, and a dual core all running on an airport network. When I am on my Tower the other machines sometimes disappear out of the shared menu in the finder window. They are on and awake, yet I can't share files. Files sharing is on, on all computers. What's up with that?

If you've never used them before (they are new) then they are not formatted for Macs.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When you want to remove an external device you must Eject it:
First, select the Desktop icon of the external disk. CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Eject from the context menu.

Since upgrade to v29, pinned tabs don't appear and sometimes all tabs don't appear and open menu button does not work

My pinned tabs don't appear at any start and at some starts, I don't see the bookmarks toolbar (I can restore that by removing it from view-toolbars and then reselecting it). when this happens, FF also does not show any tabs and the Menu button does not work.
I have tried various suggestions found on here like deleting the sessionstore.js and re-installing FF, also tried disabling hardware acceleration in safe mode and still have the same problems.
Am reluctant to reset FF in case I lose my favourites and Bookmarks, is there anything else I can try?

Firefox may not have closed properly.<br />
You can try to update to Firefox 29.0.1 to be released tomorrow (Friday) to see if that helps with this issue.

Some options don't appear in MAX

I have an Agilent 86142A OSA connected via GPIB-USB-HS cable to my PC. MAX recognizes it in the tree, but a lot of options (like self-test, calibrate) don't appear. I'm new in MAX, so I'm not sure whether this is acceptable or not. Have I made some error in installing the device, or do some options simply not show up for particular devices? I've attached an image of MAX in this situation.
If indeed the device is installed fine, how does one perform a test to see if the connection is good if the Self-Test icons don't appear?
Please let me know if it seems the device has been detected properly and all is well.
Thanks!

Everything looks find. You are not supposed to have options for self-test or calibrate. Those would only be for NI's DAQ cards.

Some images don't appear in iPhone, but do on desktop.

Can someone download this PDF and let me know why the jpg images appear fine when viewing with desktop browser, but some images in the same document don't appear when viewing in Safari on the iPhone? Vector artwork and text show fine. Shows white space where JPGs should be.
Specifically, pages 1 and 4:

I just heard about this day before yesterday at the InDesign Print and ePublishing Conference in Washington, DC. When using display on an iOS device JPEG 2000 is not supported. There are two flavors of JPEG: JPEG & JPEG 2000.
Here's a Wikipedia article about JPEG 2000:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000
If I go to page 1 and 4 in your PDF and use Output Preview in Acrobat Pro (in Acro 9 > Advanced Print Production > Output Preview). Click on the Object Inspector tab and click on the image. It uses a JPEG 2000 filter.
Since I don't know how the image was created and saved, I'll leave it to you to resave it as normal JPEG.

Some albums don't appear in finder (Pictures)

For some reason not all of my albums from iphoto appear in my "Pictures" folder in the finder. About 3/4 do, but not all. I have made sure that I haven't used any odd characters, etc. Is there a way to ensure they appear. That seems to be the best way to get the photos into other applications.
Also, my "photos" folder under "pictures" in the finder will not open to show all of my photos. When I double click on it, iphoto opens. Is that standard?
thank you,

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. What version of iPhoto are you using? (iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto). I ask as you're posting in the v7 (iPhoto 08 forum) and in this (or indeed v6 or v5) no albums appear in the Finder at all.
There is no way to make you albums "appear" in the Finder. Albums are virtual entities, there is no corresponding folder of images. An Album is an entry in the database.
That seems to be the best way to get the photos into other applications.
Not at all. Never access you photos via the Finder. Doing so risks damaging your Library.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
All of the above are faster and safer than rooting through the folders of the Library.
lso, my "photos" folder under "pictures" in the finder will not open to show all of my photos. When I double click on it, iphoto opens. Is that standard?
Yes. With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.

Some photos don't appear in the blog's main page

All the entries in my blog include a photo and almost always a small version of the picture appears in the blog's main page. Sometimes the small picture does not appear, although it shows up in the individual entry containing the photo. You can see what I mean in the Hacienda Magueyes entry in http://web.mac.com/jamarimutt/Blog/index/index.html
Any suggestions to have the small photos consistently appear in the main page? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Josemari ~ One possible explanation is that instead of dragging that Hacienda Magueyes image over the Placeholder image to replace it, you instead removed the Placeholder image and simply dragged the image onto the page — in which case it won't appear in your blog's main page.

Some notifications don't appear in Notification Center

I've been wondering about this for some time. I pressed the home button on my iPhone to wake it up and saw a quick glimpse of a number of notifications, including some from Twitter, Facebook, etc. This got my curiosity up. However, Touch ID kicked in and logged me into the phone.
I wanted to see what those notifications were, so I turned the phone off and then on again, but, because they had displayed already, the notifications did not display again.
So I dragged down to Notification Center to see what I had missed, and on the Today tab all it gives is weather, a calendar event, stocks and that there are three events scheduled for tomorrow. On the Notifications tab it just says what apps were updated yesterday.
Okay, maybe some apps are blocked from Notification Center, so I went to Settings > Notifications and there are only 3 apps under Do Not Include and this does not include Twitter, Facebook, etc.
I'm wondering why certain notifications appear on the lock screen but not in Notification Center, which seems to defeat the purpose of the whole thing.

Timothy Arends1, if you want notifications to be displayed in the notification center, just set the one you want to see in the "INCLUDE" section.
Settings > Notifications > Edit > Touch the bars on the right of the app you want to be notified and drag into the INCLUDE section.

Some users don't appear at the login screen when restarting, only upon logging in as a user who does appear, then logging out. How can I make all users appear on the initial list?

I've inherited a previously used early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro at work.
I now have my own account on the computer, however the account does not show up on the list of users to log in as in the start up log in screen. It will only appear if I first log in as one of the users who do appear, then logout. The background also changes between these two log in screens - the start up one is white whereas after logging out of one user it's the brushed steel background. My account has admin powers.
Anyone have any ideas how I can make this account also show up on the start up screen?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I do think it has something to do with FileVault.
Under System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> FileVault I try and click "Enable users" near the bottom (after unlocking with an admin password). If I do this from my own account a green check mark appears next to my name, but upon clicking "done" I received this message after a brief loading period:
The following users weren’t allowed to unlock this disk because an unknown error occurred: (myusername).
I tried going into the root account and performing this same process, the first time System Prefences unexpectedly quit, and the second I received the same error as above after clicking the "Enable User..." button next to my account and trying to hit "Done".

Some emails don't appear in the folder list, I can only find them by using Search Messages

As of yesterday, new emails from one regular correspondent do not appear in the list of messages when I click on Inbox. The only way I can access them is to use "Edit/Find/Search Messages". They are still in Inbox, they haven't been moved to another folder.
Thunderbird version is 31.6.0.

None of these apply, the messages have been received, I can find them using Search Messages but they do not appear in the folder contents.

IMessages on Mac don't appear on iPhone

Yesterday I sent a couple of photos via iMessage on my Macbook. But they didn't show up on the iPhone. Right after sending the photos, I sent a regular text message, which did show up on the iPhone. Does this mean the photos were not sent and I should try again?
The photos were sent to a group (both iPhone users). iMessage will not show a delivery status for groups (at least on the Mac).

Have you activated the delivery status in the iMessage app on the Mac?
I think the whole iMessage-Mac-thing is still a little bit buggy. On my MacBook the behaviour of the app was kind of weird several times.

Some Apps don´t appear in my apple tv

Have two apple tvs in my home, one displays VEVO, HBO GO and other apps, but the second one, which I recently installed and updated, doesn´t have those apps. Why is this? How can I solve it?

Check Settings>General>Restrictions to see if any are hidden.
Check country and location are set correctly.

Some apps don't appear in Notifications Settings

I upgraded to iOS 5 on Thursday with my iPhone 4 and notifications worked fine. I was able to go in and individually set notification settings for almost all of my apps. Last night I bought the iPhone 4s and installed all of my media, contacts, and apps and now I can only change notifications settings for a handful of apps. Does anyone know how to fix?

I am running Snow Leopard and on my seperate windows 7 machine I can see and connect to my mac. However I cannot get the Mac to connect to the Windows 7 machine. Even home sharing is not working on itunes.
Can anyone help?
Maybe
On the Win7 machine,
1. Ignore everything to do with Homegroup.
2. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on User and chose Share with > Specific people; and Set to share with a specific individual or Everyone—both with Read/Write permission.
3. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Options > Advanced sharing Settings, and Turn on network discovery, Turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing , and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on).
4. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
On the Sno machine,
1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
5. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
Try to connect to your Win7. Use Go menu > Connect to server. In trying to connect, type smb://ipaddress (of the Win7 machine). If, for some reason, you are asked to, input a user name and password, then use you user name and password for the Win7. Don't save anything to Keychain now and actually never for making network connections.

Images don't appear immediately?

I have an applet with run and stop methods. I load all my images in the init() method. When my applet is ran, some images don't appear right away. You have refresh the browser screen or reload the applet. AFter refreshing, all the images work fine. It's a one time error. I am also using the double buffering. Have you any ideas/guesses y that would be happenin?
Regards & Thanks,
Helix
P.S: Sry, I didn't post my code, I was hoping this might be sufficient info for help. If not, tell me.

Complete shot in the dark, but you might try and change the caching option of your browser to "Check for newer version of stored pages: Every visit to the web page". It is possible that you need to add code to the web page to force the browser to not use cached resources. As I mentioned kind of a shot in the dark, but the fact that your images all show up on refresh made me think of this possibility.
