Why can't I access my mac pro from other computers

I can't seem to access files from my Mac Pro from other computers on our network.  It asks for a username and password, which it says is always incorrect.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  We have two main workstations that need to access a single Fire Wire 800 DRobo array that's connected to the Mac Pro tower.
Thanks!

File Sharing must be enabled on the Mac Pro. in System Preferences > Sharing
System Preferences > Accounts > Guest account must be present and must allow File Sharing, but need not allow guest login.
Although the login pane appears on the screen of the second computer, the login it is asking for is an account and password that is valid on the Mac Pro (the computer whose files you want to share). The number of bullets in the password field is fixed -- it has no idea how long the password is. Passwords are case sensitive.

  • Why can't I access any files on the other computers

    I am currently having trouble retrieving files from other local computers within my area that have Airport cards installed on them (as well as this computer I am currently using, which has the base). While it shows that I have a good connection between the computers on the network, I am unable to access any files from said computers externally, only the local servers show up. Is there any way to remedy this?

    Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Why can't I download Adobe Premiere Pro from the cloud- have tried repeatedly, followed all the post

    Why can't I download Adobe Premiere Pro from the cloud- have tried repeatedly, followed all the posted advice- all other programs have downloaded without a hitch.... what's the deal?

    Hi Clearly Stated,
    Maybe try downloading the Premiere Pro trial and then licensing it?
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_pro
    After you install just covert it to be licensed as part of Creative Cloud using the "License This Software" option shown here.

    I want to upgrade my Mac Pro but I can no longer access the Mac App Store and don't know why.

    Remember that Rosetta is not supported beyond 10.6.8. This means that if you use any PowerPC Apps, they will refuse to work.

  • Why can't   i access my itunes library from anywhere?

    Why can't I access all of my iTunes library when I am of at home connected to wifi.. The whole reason I bought iTunes Match was do I could access my entire library from anywhere?

    On iTunes using your computer have you completed the iTunes Match 3-step process?
    If so, within Song view you can enable a field called iCloud status - sorting Songs on this field will show what is available from the cloud.
    It sounds like all you need to do is to enable mobile internet on your iPhone to allow access over 3G as well as WiFi.

  • Why can't i access my iPhoto library from my epson application

    why can't I access my iphoto library fron my epson aplication

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    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.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    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.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  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.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Why can't I access German TV shows from US iTunes account??

    I am a German Expat living in the US & I want to buy German TV shows in the iTunes store. Mainly for my daughter whom I want to raise bilingual. Why can't I access German TV shows?? And if there is a way, how? I have a US billing address.
    Arem't we in an international age now? This is very limiting.

    There are a lot of great original German TV shows as well. Also, I would not mind my daughter watching her favorite US shows, such as Dora or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dubbed in German. Any way she deepens her German language skills is fine by me.
    I also feel it's somewhat unfair (discriminatory even?) if hispanic immigrants have access to their language in the iTunes TV show section, but not other nationalities, only because there are less Germans here (for example). Come to think of it, it's a great way to learn any forreign language for US students, if they were able to easily download foreign TV content...
    The one big advantage of digital downloads of TV and movies, in my eyes, would be the "accross the border" ease of access. I sure hope the powers that be will become more aware of this and fix this issue. At least a "selection" of the most popular, original TV shows could be available.

  • Why can´t I upgrade my Mac Pro to OS Mountain Lion?

    Being a person with great interest in photography, video and moviemaking I made a big personal investment a couple of years ago in buying what I thought was the best available computer on the market for multimedia projects for the time being, that is a well equiped Mac Pro (Processor 2x3 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with Memory 8 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 FB-DIMM). After that I also upgraded my Mac Pro with a better graphic card (ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB) and extra HDD´s Up till now there has been no problem to upgrade my computer to every new realesed OS software  (latest OS X Lion 10.7.04) from Apple, but when recently trying to download the latest version of OSX, that is Mountain Lion, this posibility seems to have come to an endpoint! When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion, I get the message that this is not possible with my Mac Pro (in which I for sure totally up til now have invested at least 70-80 000 swedish kronor (10 - 12 000 dollars).
    Is this really so, and if so, why has Apple in this way seemingly abandoned all those earlier loyal customers over the world who by investing their money in Apple´s Pro line of products like Mac Pro´s, have contributed so much in building the good reputation and economic ground for the development of Apple in becoming such a sucessful company? Even if Mac Pro still is a strong and competive computer for the time being, this discontinuation of softwaresupport for the big stock of sold Mac Pro computers world wide, remarks a crossroad from where in the long run, Mac pro´s will become useless and therefore also worthless in such an extent that heir owners once more have to make investments in new hardware from Apple, taking for granted that they find it still being a value in being trustful to the Apple line of computer products.
    While a company as a rule always willl find ways to make investments in new hardware of great quality if this is calculated to increase the income of the company, the sitaution is totally different for all independent and creative people over the world who have a much lower budget for their projects and as a rule get no profit from their work but their personal joy and emotional satisfaction.
    Do I really have to through my Mac Pro away (it will probably be impossible to sell it to a worthy price after Apple now has discontinued supporting the development of  it´s OS ) or do I have to buy a new Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and Thunderbolt Interface of latest version in order to feel safe in continuing using Apple´s Pro applications for multimedia projects foor the future with reliable continued support from Apple (and in that case for how long I ask myself), or is there any possibility to upgrade the hardware of my Mac Pro in order to upgrade to latest OS software and still feel being a member of the sanctioned Apple club?
    Alternatively, maybe Apple can help all Mac Pro owners to make it possible to upgrade to needed Apple hardware and software line of their Pro applications, and thus continue to support Apple in using and inspire developing their products and Pro market shares as well as continue to spread their good reputation in this area, in supporting these reliable customers in some way, as an example by giving a discount to all Mac Pro owners upgrading to a new computer from Apple.
    Maybe this in fact is the first step from Apple in a plan to soon stop selling the model Mac Pro because the latest compact Mac Book Pro´s already has exceeded the old clumpsy Mac Pro´s in function, versatility and potential for future development. If so this Apple´s decision is logic and understandable, but please don´t abondon all customers of Mac Pro´s all over the world  who have been utterly fidele to Apple in helping the Company to spread the good reputation of Apples computers to ordinary people through the years and thus to a great extent have contributed in buildning the necessary market expectations that have made it possible for Apple to develop and sell new products to a continuing growing market by fulfilling and helping ordinary peoples daily needs. I believe that without these earlier pioneers and supporters of Apple´s ever innovative productline, its not taken for sure the Apple Company should have reached this all time incredible height of success we all can witness today...
    Sincerely
    Stefanis
    PS/ Me and my family are true Apple customers and supporters in having all together 4 iPhones, 4 iPods, 1 iPad, 1 MacBook, 2 MacBook Pro´s, 1 Mac Pro, 1 Apple TV 2nd gen, 1 Apple TV 3rd gen and a lot of general and Pro Application (among them all iWork programs, Aperture, Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro).

    what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke.  Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that.  Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what  I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
    which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't

  • Why can I not purchase the Mac pro in the United Kingdom?

    Mac pro.

    In most parts of the world, you can remove the side door with the Mac Pro 65 lb tower still running, and check whether fans are all running.
    CAUTION: In the EU, the European commission has determined that you are too stupid not to put your finger in the fans, and the Mac Pro's plastic fans with pitiful 12 Volt motors are so dangerous it cannot be sold in the EU until a new model is released (possibly later this year). So this advice is not to be used in Europe.
    Also, be certain that any bananas you buy are not too strongly curved -- those are illegal in Europe. Unfortunately, you will be forced to fend for yourself when using refillable Olive Oil bottles in restaurants -- they were unable to develop a consensus to ban them outright for the good of the public. So please, be extremely careful!

  • Why Can't I Access My Leopard Shares from Vista

    I can access my Vista shares from Leopard via Go->Connect To Server (although they don't automatically just appear in Finder as they did in Tiger). In Vista, I can see my MBPro, but when I click on it there's a long wait followed by a Network Error, saying Vista can't access my Mac and telling me the network path was not found. I don't get even get a Login dialog box into which to enter my username and password. My MBPro is connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme network, while the PC is connected via cable into the back of the AE.
    Yes, I've turned on File Sharing.
    Yes, I've made sure that the Workgroup is the same both in Leopard and Vista.
    Yes, I've created a new NETBios name for my MBPro and can confirm that Vista sees my Mac by the new name.
    Yes, I've made sure that SMB file sharing (and only SMB) is enabled.
    Yes, I've made sure that my username and passwords are identical in both Leopard and Vista.
    Yes, I've created an entirely new Network location.
    Yes, I've made sure "Read & Write" are enabled.
    Yes, I've set my Mac firewall to allow all incoming connections and made sure my Windows firewall is turned off.
    Yes, I spent 45 minutes on a call with a very helpful and patient Apple tech support rep who wasn't able to solve the problem.
    Can anyone offer any other advice?
    Thanks.

    There is a bit of work you need to do on Vista because of Vista's authentication model:
    To enable Windows Vista to connect to Mac OS X with Windows File Sharing enabled, you will need to change the following policy in Windows Vista:
    Start>Run>secpol.msc [enter]
    Click on "Local Policies" --> "Security Options"
    Navigate to the policy "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and double-click it to get its Properties. By default Windows Vista sets the policy to "NTVLM2 responses only". Use the drop-down arrow to change this to "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".
    In Vista Home Premium, you won't have this tool so:
    1. Run the registry editor elevated and open this key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    1. If it doesn't already exist, create a DWORD value named
    LmCompatibilityLevel
    3. Set the value to 1
    4. Reboot
    If you are using a third-party firewall on Vista, uninstall it; don't just turn it off. If you are using Vista's built-in firewall (which is adequate for most people), you don't need to turn it off - just configure it for file/printer sharing. Make sure Vista thinks your LAN is Private and not Public.

  • Why can't I access my pre order from iTunes when the album has been released?

    Pre ordered the new Jay Z album from my iPhone 4S and have been FULLY charged for the album. Each song is showing "purchased" in grey. What's the deal with this? iTunes WILL allow me to purchase the album again, and I'm positive they'll take my money again.

    I'm having the same issue. Support claims it's my computer to which I have downloaded 439 songs to already. Oddly enough I still can't download a previous preorder even though I am able to download FREE songs and podcast without issues. I asked them to cancel the order and they stopped contacting me with either a yay or a nay. It's not like they have to refund me or anything as they haven't drafted any monies yet. I guess I will have to chock this up as a loss and no longer purchase through iTunes anymore. Amazon is cheaper most of the time anyway. No back ups needed there. Peace.

  • Why can't I access my adsense account from Firefox?

    My website is on Firefox. It's getting ads on it from adsense, but I can't access the adsense account from Firefox. I can only get there from Explorer or Chrome. I'm also making almost no money, 87 cents, in several months. I feel that the adsense and the website are not coordinating. Could anyone give me some insight into this. I've spent hours and tried everything I know to work out the situation. Please help. Thanks. Mary Ann

    hello mary ann, can you describe in a bit more detail what happens when you try to access the account in firefox (do you receive any error messages or does anything in particular not work?)
    regarding the amount of money the adsense account is generating, we cannot help with that since this is a third-party service - you'd have to contact google's support about this issue.
