Upgraded to Yosemite, can no longer mount Mac shared folder on Windows 7 pc.

At the weekend I upgraded to Yosemite, and really liked the new look.
There is a folder on my mac which is shared over SMB so that it can be mounted as a network drive on a Windows 7 system. This has worked just fine for years, but then after the upgrade I found that I was no longer able to connect to the share. When I tried to remap the share it just kept asking me for password over and over again and failing to connect.
Windows could see the Mac was there in its workgroup, but not let me access it.
I tried on a Linux system, which could also see the Mac, but not mount the share.
After spending hours trying to figure this out, I wound up restoring my system from a backup made the day before.
Once I'd rolled back to Mavericks, the share worked just fine again.
Any ideas? Because if I can't map to this shared area on my Mac, then I can't upgrade to Yosemite.

HP 8500 ALL IN ONE - CAN NO LONGER SCAN TO SHARED FOLDER

I have had an HP 8500 all in one scanner / printer for a while and have not had any problems with,
Yesterday the printer hung so I reset it.
I am using ethernet (wired) as opposed to wireless.
When I reset the printer it gave it a new ip address of which I reconfigured back to the address of my network ie 192.168.7.xxx
I am able to print and scan from the embedded printer web page but when I scan to my shared folder, the printer cannot conect.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I think it may be something either to do with the network path or possibly the sharing permissions fo the network folder.
Thank you in advance for any assistance that can be provided.

Hello there @DAVIDA64, welcome to the forums
I read through your post about the issues you are having with scanning to your network folder. My best suggestion would be to check out the guide below and set up your scan to network folder again.

Can no longer connect to shared folder via Samba (10.5.8)

I used to be able to connect to shared folders on my leopard (10.5.8) PPC machine via Samba.
Now, when I choose "Go to Folder..." from another machine and enter the correct URL (smb://192.168.0.XXX), I get a list of all the volumes and users, including public folders of some users, but the share point (shared folder) I defined does not appear.
I tried moving that folder around (it was in /Users/Shared/, then I put it at root / ), removing and re-adding, turning file sharing and samba off and on multiple times, and restarting the computer.
Nada.
Any ideas?

It seems I resolved this by changing the name of the folder I wanted to share, and adding that. No idea why it didn't like the previous name, but that seems to have worked around whatever the issue may have been.

After upgrading iTunes I can no longer play my songs. It says that "The song ________ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have NO clue where to look.

After I recently Upgraded iTunes I can no longer play any movies or songs. It says that "The song ______ can no longer be playe because the original file cannot be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have no clue where to look as I'm not tech savvy. I did look in previous itunes libraries file and it's empty. Any and all help is appreciated.

The links below illustrate how your iTunes should look if you use default settings in preferences. If you don't use those settings then you have to know what you're doing.
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
The above links also illustrate the Media folder and its subfolders. Look for a file in there in the logical structure by folder artist and album. If you're lucky, linking one file will get an offer to link others and it iwll all come together again.
I see you are running OSX 10.5.8 it would help to know which version of iTunes you use now and which one you used before.

Since upgrading to Maverics, can no longer sync Contacts via cable!

Since upgrading to Maverics, can no longer sync Contacts via cable!
As I am not willing to put my Contacts data on iCloud, I am no longer able to update Contacts between MacBook, iPhone and iPad. This greatly reduces the value of these products.
Any help here???
Thanks.

Wait for the next iTunes release.

I can no longer activate home sharing on my Apple TV

I have an Apple TV 2nd (or 3rd) generation. It was working fine until I updated the firmware one month ago. I can no longer activate home sharing. The WIFI connection works fine as I was able to restore the device. Home sharing is active on my computer (and my iPad and iPhone). When I try to activate home sharing on Apple TV it says that the Apple ID or password are incorrect. I know it is not the case as reentered it many times and very carefully. I also rest the device many times and restored the software twice.

Bump... I have the same issue (on Ipad 4 and Itunes on Windows 7).

I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave. Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer. I can not turn off Keychain...it is awaiting authorization from the SMS on the telephone I do not have access to.

I set up Keychain and do not have access to the telephone I gave. Now I can no longer connect my ipad to my windows computer, itunes does not automatically open when I plug in the USB. I can not turn off Keychain in my ipad since authorization is pending awaiting the code sent by SMS, which I can not get. Can someone advise how to get rid of Keychain. Should I cancel my icloud account?

I appreciate your help.
Have reset the ipad, but that changed nothing. I can not turn off Keychain, iit remains "pending approval". Probably, the only thing to do is to close my icloud account...which I hate to do since there is a lot of data saved there. But, I am unable to back the ipad up on my Windows 8 computer because itunes no longer opens when the ipad is attached.
Oh well...computers are computers and it is impossible to cover 100% of the situations.
Keychain iss not the best app for someone who lives in 3 different countries.
Thanks

Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

Hi,
I tried everythink, but same as before!
- droppings ot the main screen
- loosing Home Share
now even on iPads !
Frustrating!
I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention
Tweety
This is the mailbody I always use
Hello all,
Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
- Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
- streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
- iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
- second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
- third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
- fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
- all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
- 2 Apple TV second generation
- 1 Apple TV first generation
- 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
- 2 iPads (second generation)
all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
Thanks for every effort in advanced.

I can no longer create a new folder on my desktop

Both my boyfriend and I have searched ad nauseum and cannot find out why I can no longer create a new folder on my desktop. When we try, we get an error message that says "the operation can't be completed because you don't have the necessary permission" (a Finder pop-up error message). I am the administrator and logged in as such. Anyone have any idea where in Settings, etc., that we can change this? Thanks.

Click on the Desktop and press command-I (Get Info).
Expand the General section of the Info window and be sure the Locked checkbox is unchecked.
If this is OK, then look at the Sharing & Permissions section at the bottom. Tell us everything you see there, or post a screenshot.

I can not access any more shared folders on windows 7 other pc on my homegroup

Hello every one.
I had my home group network working fine over wi-fi connection, (laptop with win 8.1 and laptop with win7) till few days ago I had to format and re install the win 8.1 using recovery disk from toshiba. Since then, although I have setup again the home
group as it was before, I can access the shared folders on win8.1 from win 7 but not the other way around. So when I try to access the shared folders on win 7, on my win 8.1 I receive the message: WINDOWS CAN NOT ACCESS \\WIN 7\\SHARED FOLDER.
Notice that when I open the network folder on win 8.1, my win 7 pc is visible, I click on it, I can see all my shared folders and the above message appears when I click on them.
Apparently some settings have changed on laptop win 8.1
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Upgraded to Lion & can no longer finger swipe for/backwards between pages. Is there a fix for this?

Title says it all. I just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, and can no longer use a finger swipe, whether one or 2 fingered, to move backwards an forwards between pages. I can still do so in Safari, but not in Firefox 5.01, my preferred browser, any longer. Doesn't matter if I try using one, two or more fingers
Is there a fix for this? Thank you.

If you download this program http://blog.boastr.net/?page_id=1722 (better touch tool), you can make your own swipe gestures.
However, I have been able to three-finger swipe forward and back on webpages by going to ''system preferences'' > ''trackpad settings'' > ''more gestures''
and checking the box at ''"swipe between pages"'' and selecting ''swipe left/right with 3 fingers''

Can no longer print to shared printer on mac running 10.5

We have an old G5 that we use to share a printer between various macs all running 10.9. I recently upgraded the G5 to 10.5 to see if that helped with some issues we had, but now that we can no longer print to the printer.
What I have done so far:
#1 Updated the printer drivers on both 10.5 & 10.9 macs.
#2 Reset printing System on both 10.5 & 10.9 macs.
#3 Readded the printer to the 10.5 Sys Pref > Print & Fax using actual driver
#4 Readded the printer to the 10.9 Sys Pref > Print & Fax
If I do the last step by using "Add printer or scanner" option...
...but use the Generic Postscript Driver I get: Looking for Printer > Connected to Printer > then the error "Stopped on server [G5's name] - No pages Found!". The job does appear on the G5 in the printer queue.
...but use the actual driver I get: Looking for Printer > Connected to Printer > then the error "Stopped on server [G5's name] - Unable to write uncompressed document data: Operati...". The job does appear on the G5 in the printer queue.
If I do the last step by selecting the printer under "Nearby Printers" I get "Unable to download the software from the server at his time".

There are some differences in sharing but it will work. I have a G4 that I use as a server, too.
First, tell me what printer model. There are driver differences, too.
At the heart, CUPS (the print control subsystem) uses IPP as the print sharing protocol. That part hasn't changed. So I recommend, for troubleshooting, setting up the printer on the client using IP printer > IPP protocol.
Here's a guide:
1) On the 10.5 print server, use a browser and point it at the CUPS admin web page athttp://localhost:631
Go to Printers list and find the queue name from the left side of the page next to the printer you want. Also note the IP address of the server Mac.
2) On a client, Add the printer as an IP printer > IPP protocol, and enter the IP address and queue name you noted above.
3) Select the generic postscript driver (on client Mac)
(after reading your second post, I want to remind you to set the server to use the correct driver.)
Finish and try it.

Can no longer mount iDisk with WebDAV

Since last night I can no longer sync my iDisk, or mount any iDisk form other users. I've read the support answer that if you get "Last sync failed" with the iDisk sync, you should run "fix permissions" and reboot.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303032
However, this has not helped me. I've tried this several times. This problem is specific to my intel MacBook.
- iDisk mounting and syncing works just fine with my .Mac account on another computer.
- I tried mounting an iDisk on another user account on this MacBook, but this didn't work either. I suspect this is a system wide thing.
- I checked the permissions of "webdav_fs.kext" on my MacBook and my text top system, and they are identical. The desktop works still, my MacBook doesn't.
- I also checked that this kernel extension is loaded, and the system says yes.
- if I try to mount someone elses public iDisk folder, I get the following error message in the console:
Mar 28 20:27:40 Dr-Schaubs-MacBook webdavd[705]: (SCDynamicStoreNotifyFileDescriptor(gProxyStore, 0, storenotifyfd)) failed; going to SCDynamicStoreNotifyFileDescriptor; file: mount.tproj/webdav_network.c; line: 741
ANY help here would be greatly appreciated. I've tried all I could think of.
thanks,
Hanspeter Schaub

Ok, I tries using the command line mount_webdav command. It didn't seem to work. I got no error messages, but no volumes were mounted.
I tried connecting to another (non-iDisk) web folder at bingodisk.com. This worked fine on my desktop, it doesn't work on the MacBook. This seems to confirm that this is a basic Finder webdav issue, not iDisk specific.
I looked through the system preferences to try to find any appropriate *.plist files to remove/reset. I tried removing
/Library/Prefernences/Network/com.apple.DotMacNotifications.plist
/Library/Prefernences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
but this didn't do anything. Any ideas on what setting file might influence the Finder's webdav functionality?
If I try to do a iDisk sync in the Finder, the console give me the same message as when I tried to directly mount another person's public iDisk
Mar 29 13:41:48 Dr-Schaubs-MacBook webdavd[304]: (SCDynamicStoreNotifyFileDescriptor(gProxyStore, 0, storenotifyfd)) failed; going to SCDynamicStoreNotifyFileDescriptor; file: mount.tproj/webdav_network.c; line: 741

I wonder which file it is trying to access here and failing??

Can no longer access Mac HDD from Windows XP Installation

Hello, I'm pretty new to Macs, and am running into a problem.
I'm in the middle of configuring Windows XP to my liking, and got to the part where I typically move the locations of the My Documents, My Pictures, etc. to their respective locations on the Mac hard drive (that way I store all files in the same place, and I can boot between OSX and XP without having to move files). Anyway, I rebooted to finish installing unrelated software, and my Mac HDD will no longer "mount" if that term applies in XP. It shows up in disk management as an unknown partition. I KNOW 100% positively that I accessed it before the reboot. I don't see how a program for rotating the screen on my external monitor (iRotate) could do this, and the only other things isntalled right now are Bootcamp's drivers and Firefox. It's a clean, up to date XP installation.
Any help appreciated!
Specs:
Intel iMac
Core i3 550, 3.2 GHz
4 GB DDR3 (2.99 accessible in XP)
1 TB Western Digital HDD
Windows XP Professional SP3, fully updated

This is the error:
"Windows cannot access \\machine\sharedfolder,
error code 0x80004005, unspecified error"
I can not remove network cards because servers are hosted in Azure. So when I remove network card server becomes unreachable.

Upgraded to Yosemite can I upgrade cs2 to cs5 and get it to work

I just upgraded my computer not realizing cs2 would no longer run on Yosemite, can I upgrade my software and get it to work or do I need to buy the whole new software? I am not looking to go to the cloud.
Thanks.

You are long past any upgrade eligibility and even if you were to buy a CS6 license, there are compatibility issues with Yosemite. Getting Creative Cloud would make that much more sense...
