Unable to access share unless I use the AFP url

Dear friends,
my Imac 27" runs Lion and I have Sys Pref->Sharing with File (and Printer and Scanner) sharing ticked. Under the former I have a Downloads folder with bob (my userid) on Lion in R+W and Everyone with RO.
On my rMBP which runs Mountain Lion I see Imac27RJA listed in the Finder's left pane but if I click on it I get a "Not Connected" message.
On the other hand if I use Finder->Go->Connect to server and use the afp://192.168.1.70 URL and click connect I get connected to the desired folder and now if I click on the Shared Imac27RJA name I get a list of all shared folders and can connect to them. On the top I see a Connected as : bob message (bob is also my local username on the rMBP.
What am I doing wrong ? Why is it not connecting without using the AFP URL first ?
Thank you very much.

After the Not Connected, there should be a Connect As button. Click that, enter user name and password. Maybe it is trying to connect as someone else for some reason.

  • Neither Firefox or other web browser will access the net UNLESS I use the restore feature. The next day the problem occurs again and again I have to use the restore feature? It works on my laptop so not ISP problem do I have a trojan or something?

    It seems that no browser will work. Firefox is my preferred browser but IE wont work either unless I use the restore function and then they work fine. However if I close my computer down for any reason they wont work and again I have to use the restore function. My email program works just fine (I use Agent) my ISP says there is no problem with my connection. My Firefox on my laptop works just fine and it uses the same connection as my desktop where the problem is.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

  • Unable to access time machine backup. The folder "Documents" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.

    My MacBook Pro with 750GB storage refuses to startup due to a problem with logic board (unfortunately I'm in Singapore and there is no Apple store here and zero customer support).  I'm trying to access some of the files from the time machine back-up using my MacBook Air with 120GB storage, but I'm unable to open the backup.  I receive an error message "you don't have permission to see its contents". Unable to access time machine backup. The folder “Documents” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
    I don't really want to migrate the data from the time machine to the MacBook Air as I simply don't have sufficient storage space on the MacBook Air.  The iPhoto library which I'm trying to access is 200GB, which is more than the size of the MacBookAir.
    Is there any way I can view the photos and documents stored on the time machine backup.
    Thank you very much.

    When you setup the Mac, you created a Admin user account with say name X
    You ran Migration Assistant and it migrated user Y from the Windows machine.
    User Y has different permissions than User X.
    User X can't normally access User Y's account.
    So what you do is log out of User X via the Apple menu and into User Y, this way you have permission to access the files.
    If you want to transfer files from User Y to User X account
    Transfer files between user accounts on the same machine instructions
    Finder > Go menu > Computer
    A window appears with your boot drive, double click on it to open
    Inside is Users folder, double click to open it
    Inside is your User accounts, double click on the one you want to send files too
    Double click on the Public folder drop the files into the DropBox folder,
    The permissions will change and can be used in the other user account when you log into it and moved to the appropriate folders.
    Applications are typically installed and kept in the Applications folder which is a global access folder all users can access to run them from, but not all users can modify unless they are a Admin user.
    Windows programs won't run on a Mac, but they can be instaled into a virtual machine program that is running Windows.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • C and H keys won't work unless I use the shift button. How can I fix this?

    Now the 'V' button no longer works unless I use the shift key. I do not enjoy having to switch back and forth between cap-locks on and cap-locks off.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    I have done as you asked and it is still the same.
    I have also previously "flattened" my playbook several times in the hopes my sound settings would be reset.
    Is there nothing like a diagnostics app or an app/interface to be able to manually change options such as sound outputs.
    If there is not please make one as it would be very much appreciated.
    I have tried downgrading the os aswell. I have never had the audio switch to the speakers.
    Something has been "switched" and will not reset by os change or updates.
    ::Edit::
     I have tried the new 201 update and it did no correction to audio or the availability of a manual output option.
    ::End Edit::
    I am asking that a manual option be made available to force output changes. if this was possible I would know if it is software or hardware related.
    I also want to make it very clear that I am highly disappointed with this glitch. your tablet would be #1 in my eyes otherwise..  I want my sound back RiM, make it work.
    Based on the above i think you might have a hardware issue and only a call to support will get it addressed.
    it does have a 1 year warranty on it by RIM. Place of purchase might be 30 days or longer depending on where you bought it from.

  • I have a wired keyboard which won't work with my MacBook Air unless I use the extension cable supplied with the apple keyboard. Is this normal or have I got a connection problem?

    I Have an apple wired keyboard which suddenly won't work unless I use the apple ext cable supplied with the keyboard...used with the wire fixed into the keyboard it just won't respond.  Do u think the keyboard is faulty. ? I want to use it with my MacBook Air and a big screen.

    My best guess is that either there's a small deformation of the USB plug of your keyboard or some foreign matter (like lint) inside the keyboard plug. When I was setting up my new lab last year I had to use the extension cables and I found that the female end of the extension cable was considerably tighter than the computer's USB port. If an Apple store is nearby it would be worth taking the computer, keyboard, and extension just for piece of mind.
