TM cant see Disk on on other Mac on Network

Hello,
TM cannot see the Internal HD on my Mac Pro from MacBook Pro (MBPro). Both Macs are running OS X 10.8 ML with all Apple Updates installed.
Internal HD's on Mac Pro mount in the Finder fine on MBPro and I can copy files to and from the Mac Pro Hard Internal & External Drives.
TM was working after upgrading from Lion to ML.
Had to delete the TM Backup, now cannot setup TM again, as Mac Pro HD does not appear in TM Disk Window.
Have tried setting Hard Disk not to sleep on each Mac, resetting SMC on each Mac, using Ethernet across Network instead of WiFi, (this worked previously by the way).
Any suggestions on what to do?
Will try AppleCare on Monday.

Have you tried removing temporary internet files of ie8 yet? And not by means of a 3rd party software but just in ie8 options menu.
What could have happened is that the player didn't load properly the first time and now the improperlly loaded files are cached.

Can't see USB disk attached to other mac

I have an Airport Express, on the network is a Mac Mini which has an USB disk attached to it (to the Mac Mini).
However, I can't see the disk from any other mac that uses the Airport (this used to work)
I've looked for "disk sharing" in Preferences and in the Airport Setup Utility, but couldn't find anything.
I've also made the Sharing & Permissions of the USB disk for "Me" and "Everyone" as " Read & Write"
Any idea how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Awfers

Ok, thanks for clarifying. You don't need to change any settings within the AirPort Utility, but let's double-check your Mac Mini's settings to make sure that it is both sharing the disk properly and that it's OS X firewall is not blocking the requests.
For File Sharing: System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing
o Make sure that the folders on your external hard drive, that you want shared, are selected in the Shared Folders window.
o Make sure that you have, at least, Everyone = Read Only set in the Users window.
o Select Options..., and then, verify that you have "Share files and folders using AFP" is enabled for Mac clients, and "Share files and folders using SMB" is enabled for Windows clients.
For the OS X Firewall: System Preferences > Security > Firewall
o If "Allow all incoming connections" is enabled, verify that: "File Sharing (AFP, SMB)" is now displayed in the list.

HT1331 cant see disks in the airport extreme setup

cant see disks in the airport extreme "partions" to set up, tried different disks, cables, restart, etc, bottom line the extreme does not see any attached external hard drives, any ideas?
Cheers
Michael

Checklist:
1) The drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Unless the documentation with your drive specifically states this fact, the drive is very likely pre-formatted for Windows, which will not work on the AirPort Extreme. Use Disk Utility on your Mac to reformat the drive.
2) Even if the drive is formatted correctly, the USB port on the Extreme is underpowered....so it is often necessary to use a powered USB hub with the Extreme.....even if your hard drive has its own power supply.
3) The hard drive will not "show up" on the desktop the way that drive that is connected directly to the Mac will do. You must click on the AirPort Extreme icon under the SHARED heading in the Finder, then double click the folder representing the drive to mount it on the desktop.

Mac mini won't connect to printer unless other mac on network turned on

mac mini won't connect to printer unless other mac on network turned on

Copy the IP address of the printer from the Mac that can connect to it by itself. The IP shows when you start any print job.
Disable Printer sharing on this Mac.
Go to the Mac that cannot connect by itself and set up the printer from scratch using the printer's IP. To do this:
System Preferences / Print & Scan, then click the + sign, nxt select Add Printer or Scanner and click on IP. Fill in the info.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're using iCloud to sync your calendar across your Mac computers, the steps in the "Troubleshooting Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion" section of the below article can help. They should also apply to Mavericks.

Macbook Pro not seeing other Macs on network

I have a network of 7 Macs. Some are connected with ethernet, some connect via Wifi. I have a Verizon router with a wifi transmitter and an Apple Airport Express. Both the router and the Express use the same network name. I have configured the Express to extend the first network. I use WPA security.
I have file sharing and screen sharing enabled on all of the computers.
Today a MacBook Pro (10.6.3) has had trouble seeing any of the other machines on the network. It can access the internet and send email, but it cannot access the server that has its TimeMachine backup drive, nor can I get it to see any of the other computers on the network.
I have run Repair Permissions and re-started. I recently did do the latest OS 10.6 update which updated Java. (Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2)
What can I do to help this machine see the network?

Yes, every Mac is on the same subnet. This machine is behaving strangely. The inability to connect to other computers went away and now is back. It has always been able to connect to the internet, but it still cannot connect to other Macs on the network.
Would interference between the Verizon router wifi transmitter and an Apple Airport Express be a possible culprit?

I can see other Macs on network, but I can't connect via afp, smb or Bonjour

Hello.
I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.8, a Macbook Pro running Lion, an Ipad 2nd generation and an Iphone 4. All the devices "see" each other, but I am unable to establish a connection.
For instance: I can see the other mac in the finder, but a connection can't be made neither via clicking or using command + K
I can see my iTunes libraries in the remote app, but it wont connect to the iTunes library. Same with iChat: in the Bonjour network both macs see each other, but no message is delivered.
However, I can connect to the harddrive, that is connected to my airport extreme. Previously I thought my router was the problem, but now I exchanged it with this airport Extreme.
In another thread I read something about adding 10.0.1.* to "Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts and Domains" in the network proxy settings, but this did not help. Although I am not sure if I entered it right.
Any ideas how to resolve this problem?

Hi,
Please turn off the Windows Firewall in the Control Panel for test:
Control Panel->type firewall in the search box->Windows Firewall->Turn Windows Firewall on or off->Turn off
Windows Firewall (not recommended)->OK
Then Make sure all computer
turn on the network discovery.
Also, apps that are managed from non-domain servers cannot see or control this Windows 7 machine
In addition, make sure the Server, Windows 7 and other comouter in the same network. Otherwise it can't be accessed each other.

Printer sharing problem: printer not found by other Macs over network

We have 2 iMacs and 1 PowerBook, all connected to network through a Belkin router. One of the iMacs has an Epson Stylus hardwired (USB) to it. Printer sharing is ON. In the past, the other two Macs found the printer over the network and printed fine. Recently, they can no longer find the Epson over the network, indeed, when we try to "add printer" in their Printer Utilities, they no longer find any printer at all. Why did it use to work and then stop for no apparent reason, no changes were made (except for occasional need to restart the router if we lost our connection)? What are we missing?

As you suggested, I repaired permissions in all my Macs. That helped; the other Macs could find the shared printer. Then later on I needed to shut off both the host iMac and the printer. When I turned them back on, once again the other 2 Macs couldn't find the printer?! Since I had just repaired permissions earlier in the day I didn't think it could be that again. Then, I printed one page from the hardwired host iMac, and voila!, right after that page printed the other two Macs could spot the shared printer over the network again. I'm glad they came back online, but wish I knew what the heck was going on?! Why would printing one page from the host bring the others back, and did the earlier repair of permissions really have anything to do with it??

Why can't I "see" shared printer on other Mac

Hi There,
This is my first time in here... after WEEKS of trying to figure this out, I thought I'd give you guys a shot.
I have two older Macs (Putty G3 and an iBook) both running OS 9.2.2, I have an Epson Photo Stylus 1280 hooked up via USB to the G3. We've been sharing this printer for a few years now (over Cable modem with an Asanté FriendlyNet router).
Now my question is... Why can't my new iMac "find" the printer? Is there a solution, or am I doomed to buy a new printer (and find a place to put it)?

Dave,
Welcome to this forum, it is really helpful and the people on here are so knowledgeable. I had a similar problem and I'll tell you how I solved my problem and maybe it will help you. I too bought a new iMac 17" not long ago and had used my two printers (an Epson 740) and a LexmarkX3350 with my older iMac G3 and my Powerbook PC but I couldn't get it to work with the new iMac. I tried loading the disk that came with my printer to reload it on my computer and the disk wouldn't work as I guess it isn't intel compatible. So I had to go to the Lexmark site and download the driver for my model. Then I was able to locate the printer in my application folder and click on it and then activate it from there.
Then whenever I use either printer I just go to File, then print and make sure I have the right printer model selected when the print dialogue box appears. The printer part will be right at the top and you can arrow to whichever one you are using and it all works fine.

Not seeing other Macs on network (but the G4 did)?

My new Mac Mini is connected via ethernet to my FIOS router (same connection as my now-dead G4 tower which had OSX10.4.11).
Internet connection on the new Mini is fine.
Dear Daughter number one can print to the printer connected to my Mini with her MacBook on the wireless side of the network.
But I can no longer see either her computer or her sister's Mac, which used to show up on my network on the old G4. Both of them are on the wireless side of the network.
Any ideas on what I'm missing here? I'm going to do some more troubleshooting this evening and wanted to know where to start.

Check on their Mac's System Preferences > Sharing > Services > File Sharing is On.

Time Machine doesn't see other macs on network

I'm just setting up Time Machine and the "Choose Backup Disk" doesn't show any options. I can see a clean hard drive through Finder, which I've set up on a Leopard G4 just for this purpose, but it doesn't appear. Do I need to set up anything on the G4 hard drive? Any suggestions, please?

Homeplugs as in Powerline? Yes, it can ABSOLUTELY affect the backup. I believe that many powerline protocols are better at one way transfer than bidirectional. Since I had a powerline set lying around, I attempted to see if I could improve on the wireless access. With the powerline adapters, I could not. I ended up reverting back to a direct ethernet connection to the Time Capsule. Can't beat 1000 Base-T.

Ml350e windows server 2012 r2 - p420 - Cant see disks

Hi All,
Having an issue with my ML350e, installed a p420 controller which has picked up all the disks and was able to configure a RAID 5 array within the ACU and 2 disks within a RAID1. I then tried to install server 2012R2 which when prompted with the choose a disk screen find that i cannot see the disks. I think that the driver for the P420 is not being seen within the installer. Have tried flashing BIOS to latest version have also tried the windows 2012 r2 supplementary pack from a memory stick with the "p420 driver". When searching the memory stick and finding the driver we clicked yes and it informs us that "no new device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and click OK". Has anyone seen this need help!!.
Alex

IBook G4 and Airport - does not see other Macs on network

Hi. My iBook G4 (1 gHz, 768 meg, OS 10.4.10) has a networking issue. I can easily connnect online via the Airport card to our Belkin 54g router, to which my G4/733 and G5/2gHz are also connected (hard-wired). As I said, I can connect to the internet with no problem...but cannot see the other computers, nor print to a shared printer! And they cannot see the iBook! when I turn off Airport, and hook up the iBook with a wire, everything works fine, and everyone can see everyone else. This points to some sort of Airport setup thing...any suggestions?

I don't have tiger, so I don't know how different it is from panther;
so have you turned on the correct sharing in your sys preferences,
have you created a computer to computer network (using airport),
have you tried to connect using the network or _connect to server menu_ choice to one of the other computer that you have a user name and password for?
It seems to take a minute or two for the other computer(s) to show up in the network window, so maybe you just aren't waiting long enough? or maybe it's a tiger difference.
I just checked to see if I could connect myself to another computer here, using airport and a belkin 54g router. both computers are wireless G4 ibooks and I created a network, named it, and selected it from the drop down menu choice on both computers and I can access either one from the other, but I have to have a login name and password to do so. those have to be the same as one that is on the computer you are wanting to access.

Extreme internet lag and inability to connect to other macs in network..

Hi,
My network is as follows:
Linksys AM300 half-bridge mode to Apple Airport Extreme (latest edition) routing to:
-1 Mac Pro (2008) via ethernet
-1 iMac (2008) via wireless-n
-1 Mac Mini (2003) via wireless
-1 windows xp laptop via wireless
-1 MacBook Air via wireless-n
The distance from Mac Pro to the Airport is relatively far but the signal is good and internet exhibits no lag whatsoever.
The MacBook Air is in the same room as the Mac Pro. Since the distance to the Airport only gives a mediocre internet connection I use my Mac Pro's internet sharing to enable its airport as an access point with WEP encryption then connect my MBA to the Mac Pro.
Until a couple of months ago everything was fine but now I suddenly cannot connect to the screensharing or filesharing services of the Mac Pro and the internet connection has become ridiculously slow. I experience a roughly 20 second lag upon EVERY request to any site (google.com for example) and using the terminal i pinged google which yielded an average ~300ms response.
My browser is a Firefox 3.0.6 btw, this is also the browser on the iMac and Mac Pro.
While the lag is annoying even more so is the fact that I cannot use the MBA to 'remote control' the screen of my Mac Pro. The Mac Pro has not had its settings or software changed between working and not responding.
Connecting to the Mac Pro from the MBA via the regular Finder -> Network dialog shows the Mac Pro but then responds with a basic "Connection Failed" message. The same happens when trying to connect to the Mac Pro from the iMac or Mac Mini. I haven't tried the windows laptop so far.
All other computers in the network (other than the MBA) have 'normal' fast internet speeds and no lag.
The lag is also present when sitting next to the Airport Extreme circumventing the internet sharing of the Mac Pro.
I have no clue what is going on and suggestion and help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much for reading.
M.

The first thing to do in this sort of situation is to use Network Utility to ping to/from the server and clients to see if they can reach each other. Network Utility will also tell you what IP address the Mac you are running it on has. If you are using a 192.168.x.x style address range as per your message then they should all be in the same block e.g. 192.168.1.x where x is unique per computer.
The next thing may be to look at your DNS settings. You don't say what services you plan to use on the Mac OS X Server, but if your going to use Network Login Accounts and Network Home Directories then having your Mac OS X Server as the (working) DNS server will be very important. This would involve normally telling the DHCP server to advertise the Mac OS X Server as being your internal DNS Server.
