The Shared tab in Photos is empty

The Shared tab in the Photos app is empty for me. (Well, it has a "Start Sharing" button. When I click it, I am invited to create an album, although that doesn't actually do anything.) The shared iCloud streams I have that are visible on my iPhone and iPad, and that are visible on my family's devices, are not visible in the new Photos app. Anyone else having this problem?

Your screenshot is for setting up the library to share.
The next step is to select the photos for sharing and click on the Share button and select iCloud Photo Sharing:
Click on a new shared album or an existing one.
Now give the shared stream a name and either make it public or add email addresses for a private shared stream:
After clicking on the Create button go to the Shared section in the left hand pane of Photo and select the shared stream you just created:

Have turned Home sharing on in "File", but if I try choose the sharing tab in "Edit", "Preferences", It says Bonjour needs to be activated. Where do I do this?

I'm trying to share my libraries on different PCs. I have turned Home sharing on in "File", but if I try choose the sharing tab in "Edit", "Preferences", It says Bonjour needs to be activated. Where do I do this?

Try updating iTunes on your PC. Hopefully it'll re-install or fix the Bonjour issue.

Hi chrismarks1,
I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
Best,

The 'Shared' tab disappeared from my sidebar

That's basically it - the 'shared' tab [which should be impossible to remove] disappeared from the sidebar. According to Finder preferences it should still be there.
Also the Network icon [globe] will not let me connect to any other computers/servers on my network [doesn't even show them anymore]. At first the old G4 could still connect to the iMac running Leopard, but even that stopped now.
Internet works OK, though.
How to get 'Shared' back ?

Assuming you don't have the button on the top left that says Inbox, a force quit out of Mail may work but I think you should reset your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I think someone might be hacking my computer. I downloaded a free game last night and since then under the shared tab in my finder it says "hp002655a82ea0" and the only info I can get about it is that it is a pc.

I downloaded a free game last night and since then under the shared tab in my finder it says "hp002655a82ea0" and the only info I can get about it is that it is a pc. Then under console I see several "stealth mode connection" attempts ti TCP 192.168.1.107:##### from 74.125.225.82.443. The second number has jumped around and sometimes starts with 192. I dont really know what those numbers are but how do I stop them from attempting to get through my firewall and kick them out of my shared tab??? I encrypted all my files and made sure all sharing is turned off so I don't know what they are doing. Thank you very much.

Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known Mac malware takes the form of trojans that can only operate if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install software, such as a “codec” or “plug-in,” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they're all counter-productive. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav -- nothing else.

Why are Albums missing from the Albums "tab" in Photos app?

I just upgraded to the new version of OS X with the new Photos app. All of my photos transferred over to the new app correctly, but not all of my Albums are showing up in the new Albums "tab" in the Photos app.
For instance, my "Honeymoon" album does not show up on the Albums "tab," but when I search for in the Photos app it will appear.
How do I get all of my Albums to show up on this tab?
Additionally, does anyone know how to change the "timestamp" on photos?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Terence,
I appreciate the reply, but that did not solve my issue. Several of my albums are still "missing" from the list, even though I can find them when I search:

"Shared" tab on Finder when connected to the same wifi

I have this concern about the "Shared" tab on Finder wherein every time I connect to the same wifi as someone else, this "Shared" tab with our computer's name appears. Its just a privacy concern because this means that whenever I connect to the wifi they would know that I'm connected.

Go to the Sharing system preferences and disable any shared services you have enabled, and this should prevent your Mac from being auto-discovered on the network. Specifically do this for Screen Sharing and File Sharing to prevent your system from showing up in the Finder sidebar of another Mac; however, others like printer sharing will also have your Mac be discoverable in ways, though not directly through the Finder.

No sharing tab:

can you help. On my PC running windows 7 I have the 'SHARING' tab in itunes but it does not show up on my mac. I have the latest update to itunes and I have sharing in itunes and under system preferences turned on. can anyone help?

i understand this is an old post, but i recently had the same problem, so thought i would share how i fixed it for future reference. Once i made sure i had it set up right (turned on in preferences etc) and the sharing tab was still hidden, i went in itunes to advanced>turn off home sharing(my email address). then turned it back on again, input my user details and BOOM it reappearered. Hope this helps someone!

Where is the "Security" tab?

On an older cruzer micro 8 GB device, if I rt click and show properties, there is a security tab, which I can use to limit the number of people who have access to the data on the device. On a recently purchased Cruzer Glide USB flash drive, there is no security tab. I am using Windows 7. Can I get it back? I have sensitive data on the drives , and I do not want any person who logs in while I am away from the computer to gain access. The "sharing" tab just does not seem to do the job.

Ed said:I agree but I insert & extract my USB drives all the time without doing that, what am I missing?Don't you "Eject" them 1st? Error msg comes us saying close all programs & windows. The security tab you are referring to, if I understand this correctly, is a part of drives formatted with NTFS, rather than the standard exFAT or FAT32 formats and in Windows 7 you only have access to the tab from Safe Mode.Thanks for the info regarding "Safe Mode" I will look into that. I will have to also look into the formats on the drives in question. If they are different, that would explain why one has the tab and the others don't.

Shared tab has vanished

The shared tab in my iTunes has completely disappeared and I have no idea how to get it back.
To clarify the shared tab being referred to is the section in the left menu under which shared libraries appear as seen highlighted here: http://www.mactalk.com.au/articles/lacieethernet_disk/itunesshared.jpg
Also of note, the shared tab in my finder windows has also disappeared.
http://www.metzener.com/switcherblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/desktop-finder-w indow.png
Devices, Places, and Search For are the only tabs that show up there right now.
I'm on my college's network and used to be able to see around 15 shared iTunes libraries and 40 shared computers at any given time. The shared tabs disappeared from my computer a couple of days ago. I don't recall changing any settings on the computer at that time and have also tried restarting iTunes as well as the computer to no avail.

Just to be on the safe side, grab your restore disk and check the boot disk for errors ...
Restart the Mac while holding down the C key, pressing the power button and inserting your restore disk all at the same time. An Installer window will open, but do not proceed with any installations. Instead, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window click First Aid, and then click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.

The 'Shared' button has disappeared from the Libraries of all of my iOS devices

I've been using Home Sharing for all of my iOS devices for a whole now. In the last few days it suddenly stopped working. I don't see the 'Shared' tab on any of my devices anymore. I've re-started my devices, signed out of home sharing then signed in again, and still nothing. What can I o to fix this?

If you don't see the AirPlay icon:
1. Turn off router, Apple TV and iPad
2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
3. Turn on Apple TV and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
4. Turn on iPad and test AirPlay

Why don't i have the awesome tab bar?

I upgraded to firefox 4 and i didn't get the awesome bar. The way my tabs and everything that i had with firefox 3.6 stayed that same. help

Doublechecking, abigail. Do you mean the sharing tab in your preferences, or the sharing house-icon thingy in the Source list to the left of your iTunes screen?

Shared Tab Gone

As of yesterday, the "Shared" tab has disappeared in Finder - the items are there in preferences and are ticked, file and web sharing is enabled and I spent 4 hours with support failing to restore it - even did a reinstall from the DVD. I was able to see my 3 other Win 7 computers before under this tab - but the tab has gone! I see some similar threads in 2008 with Leopard. The network is pingable and I can use network printers and scanners and "sync" with my Windows PC calendars - but no "Shared" item on the sidebar in Finder - strange - any thoughts? Bonjour was installed on the Windows PCs yesterday - after speaking to support - no help. Also got MS Office 2008 installed. Has Apple sent out an upgrade that disappears this?

See my post here, which has links to several other similar posts:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2316825&tstart=0
I wonder how long Apple will ignore this? Isn't connecting harmoniously with Windows supposed to be one of Macs selling points!?

PFCG issue - removing transaction codes from menu and not clearing up the authorization tab

I’m using SAP ERP version ECC6 and EHP5 and also we have updated our system with the PSCD FI module.
I’m having the following issue in PFCG transaction code - I have created a new single role by copied other or from scratch and added few transaction codes into the menu. After that, I went in the authorization tab using the "Change Authorization Data" and I felled all the missing information until the role was green out. I generated the role then I totally went out. I come back to the same role that I created earlier and I did removed all the transaction codes from the menu and I did find the following:
- the Authorization tab light didn't change from green to red
- I went into the Authorization tab by "Change Authorization Data" and a part of the objects were still in.
Normally behave should be:
- when we remove one transaction code from the menu the light from Authorization tab should change from green to red. When you empty the menu then the light color should change also, but the authorization tab should be also empty.
Could please give me some idea how to do it next?

Hi Gabriela,
Most of the times standard roles contains manually added authorization objects. When ever you are creating a new role by copying the existing standard role so by default, these objects will come in to new role.
Now, coming to your role. After removing t code from role if nothing has changed in Authorization tab means.
Here are the possible reasons.
1. The t code which you have removed might not have any checked and maintained authorization objects, that's why your Authorization tab still in unchanged.
2. Rememeber, when ever you are adding or removing t code from menu always use expert mode for profile generation option along with "Read old status and merge with new data" Option.
This will bring the all checked and maintained data for each t code.
3. After removing the t codes from menu and if you generate the Authorization tab by using expert mode option still if you find authorization objects means, those are manually added authorization objects that's why those were not removed.
I hope this will give some clue to your issue.
Thanks,
Siva
