Windows 7 does not see other computers in My Network Places

Hi all,
I have a weird issue with a behavior of Windows 7 machines. The setup is as following: domain with WinSrv 2008R2 DC-s, functional level of the domain is WinSrv2008R2, there are Windows XP and WIndows 7 machines on the network. Users use My Network places
to access shares on other people-s PC's. Everything was fine while we had WinSrv2003 domain controller. After it was upgraded to WinSrv2008R2, Windows 7 machined cannot see all of the computers in My network places. To make things even worse, there are no
rules - some Win 7 machines see others just fine, some see 30 PC's (out of 100), some see all after doing a refresh...all sorts of different situations. I have no idea where else to look. Can it be some DNS setting that I missing? Any help is much appreciated

Hi Dino,
As I known, by default computer browser service is not started in windows 2008 server and higher OS.
You should enable NetBios over TCP/IP on the NCI settings and start the browser service in the services.msc and it should show you all the list of computers connected on
network.
we should enable Network Discovery in the Network and Sharing Center first.
Please also temporarily turn off firewall on each machine.
In addition, please modify relevant settings on Windows 7 machine.
a. Click Start and open Control Panel.
b. Open "Network and Sharing Center" and click "Advanced sharing settings".
c. Expand the current network profile (such as "Home or Work"), and then select the following options:
"Turn on Network Discovery",
"Turn on file and printer sharing",
"Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the Public folders",
"Turn off password protected sharing"
If the issue persists, try to access another computer by entering
\\computername in the Start Search box. Let us know if it works properly.
For a test, you may also disable IPv6 in adapter properties.
a. Click the Start Button, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box and press Enter.
b. Double click to expand "Network Adaptors".
c. Right click your network card and click Properties.
d. Click Advance tab. High light Speed & Duplex
e. If you would like to use the full functionality, please set the Value to the highest Full.
f. Click OK.
Hope it helps.
Regards,

I remember that with Snow Leopard you could download them from the Apple website.

Read the Boot Camp Documentation while you run Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software which was the first step in the Boot Camp Setup procedure.

Windows Vista does not see my Ipad but it always did prior to this attempt

Windows Vista does not see my Ipad, this is a new problem and I have not made any major changes to either my computer or to my Ipad. I am running Vista 64 as an operating system. I get the message that windows has an unrecognized USB device. I checked to see if the Apple Mobility software is running and it was, I reset it, turned off the computer, soft reset the Ipad but still no luck.

Hi,
Can you try a different USB port?
Check out this link just in case.

Windows 8 does not see hard drive on Satellite A200

Windows 8 does not see hard drive on A200.
How to install?

> with Vista works fine,
Does this mean that Vista is still installed or is HDD visible while Vista installation setup?
Some notebooks HDD controller needs SATA driver in order to be able to install system.
Sat A200 is a little bit older but I dont think the SATA driver is needed here to install Win 8.
I guess you didnt any SATA drivers to install the Vista right?
Set the BIOS to default and try to boot again using Win 8.

HT201302 I have a large video on my ipad that I would like to transfer to a computer. But my computer (using various software that came with Windows 7) does not see this video, although it sees all the other videos on my ipad. This video is too big to t

I have a large video on my ipad that I need to transfer to my PC (a window 7). I could also use a windows 8 if that would help. But all of the applications I have tried do not see this large video (52 mins) even though they transfer smaller videos fine. The ipad will not let me trim the video, saying it is too large. This is true even though I only want to trim the original, and not create a new video. (Actually it refuses before it gets to the choice of creating something new or just eliminating something from the original). I have been to an Apple store, but the people there only could recommend that I try some alternate applications to do the transfer (Kodak EasyShare). I don't have much faith this will work. I think I have this application on an old PC, and it is not something I want on my new computers.
Is it possibled the size of this video just violates the transfer formats for files over USB? If so, I will just delete the video and move on. But the video is really something I wanted to save. I would be happy to eliminate most of the video, but the ipad will not let me trim it.
I also tried to import the video with Windows Moviemaker (free with W7). It also does not see this file, but works fine on the other videos on the ipad.

New computer does not see others on network

I have a home office network with 3 computers on a WRT110. One laptop is connected wirelessly. When installing a new laptop (which will replace one w/ a bad video) it connects immediately (when using hard wire connection) thru the router to the internet but does not see the other computers nor do they see it. I don't see any option to make a connection disk in the WRT110 manual or software.

Make sure File and Printer Sharing is Enabled...Also make sure both the computer's are in the same workgroup...
The default workgroup name in Windows Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP. In WindowsXP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...
Also go into the computer software firewall on each computer, and set it to "trust" the other computers on your network.
If your firewall or PC security program keeps a list of trusted applications (also known as a "trusted zone"), then make sure that your router is in the trusted zone on your firewall...

Windows 7 does not see Time capsule as backup

I've followed a few threads regarding this issue but none of the solutions posted worked for me. I've installed Windows 7 through bootcamp and installed the drivers correctly (I think) using the usb stick for my MacBook Air.
The problem I'm having is that when I try to setup my Time Capsule as a backup for Windows 7, it does not see it under drives or under network. But strangely enough, Windows 7 does it see it under my computer as a network drive: Z:. I can even access the drive with no problems.
Does anybody have any suggestion as to how I can fix this issue? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on the MacBook Air recently refreshed running an i7. The Time Capsule is on firmware 7.5.2 and AirPort Utility is version 5.5.3

I thought I was going to be able to see TC from my PC after reading this thread, but it seems I still need a pad on he shoulder. Here's what I've tried so far:
From MAC, Airport Utility, I
1) Clicked the “Enable File Sharing” checkbox
2) Set the “AirPort Disk Guest Access” to: Read and Write
3) Set my PC workgroup as MSHOME, just like on my PC.
My TC's name is "Frank's Time Capsule". In the PC world, I think this translate to "Franks-Time-Capsule"
From PC, I attempted to map the TC as a network drive. Start>Computer Right-Click>Map Network Drive...
I tried the following combination:
://10.0.1.1\Franks-Time-Capsule
://10.0.1.1\Franks Time Capsule
No success: "The network path could not be found"
I then changed the name of my TC's drive to "TC" only.
://10.0.1.1\TC
Still no success: "The network path could not be found"
My question, is
What is the exact path for mapping the TC as a network drive?
What are we mapping? The drive name or the TC name?
Thank you so much....

Windows xp does not see airport express

I run an airport express as a base station in my apartment which works fine both for my iMac and my Palm pda. But a friend is visiting me presently, and her windows laptop, running XP, does not see my wifi station, although it sees others in the area. I tried removing security but that made no difference.
Is there perhaps was something that had to be ticked in the airport base station setup to enable Windows laptops to see Apple wifi? As for example when I send attachments in Apple Mail I have to tick a box to make them Windows-friendly.

I use Airport Express... two Macs and another laptop running Win XP and couldn't get the Win to see the network until I changed to a different card, a D-Link Airplus. I think it was all of $19.95 and works like a charm...
Also, in Airport Admin Utility/Network, make sure you have:
Distribute IP addresses checked and where it says; Share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT, click the pop up menu and select: Use 10.0.1.1 addressing.
Also, her Win might be picking up interference your iMac or Palm doesn't... try a different channel:
By default, the AirPort software automatically selects the best available channel when the base station is plugged in. If your base station is experiencing interference, try changing the channel it uses.
To select a different channel:
Open AirPort Admin Utility, located in Applications/Utilities.
Select your base station and click Configure.
Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort, and then choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.

Apple TV does not see other iTunes

My Apple TV and my iTunes get along great. A friend showed up with his iTunes (on an XP PC). My iTunes and his work fine together, we are both on 7.3.1. So I know network, sharing and connections all are fine. itunes is working as it should for both of us.
But the Apple TV does not see his iTunes to stream. It is supposed to be able to steam from 5 other iTunes, but my Apple TV only sees mine (the one it syncs with). Note that it can also stream from mine just fine.
Any ideas?

This may reflect my lack of understanding.
His iTunes does not see the Apple TV at all. It does not show up in his iTunes. There is no "devices" list and no Apple TV.
However, even if it did, if you register the Apple TV with another iTunes, doesn't that mean the Apple TV is now going to sync with that new iTunes? Don't you only want to register the Apple TV with one iTunes? I assumed it would stream with any iTunes on the network (up to five).
But we are not there yet. His iTunes does not see the TV and the TV does not see him.
I double checked, he is looking for Apple TV in his settings.

I'm seeing other computers "in the network"

Hi, all.
I am seeing other computers, I assume picked up by the wireless internet connection, or something.
I wonder if they can "see" mine in theirs?? I'm quite concerned by this
If so, how do I "block" that, so that my computer doesn't show up in other people's networks. I don't want to "share" folders, or anything.
Thanx !

Look in the Airport (or wireless router) preferences: you should be able to create a 'closed' network, i.e. one which doesn't broadcast its name and thus doesn't show up in the lists of networks on other computers. You should also set a WPA encryption and a safe password: and you can restrict access to your network to computers with specific MAC addresses (this is the address of the wireless card, nothing to do with Macintosh). Asa already said, you have to have File Sharing turned on before anyone can get into your computer (and they would need the account password).
This essay may perhaps help a bit:

Unknown USB Device in Windows - VISA does not see it

Hello,
I'm trying to connect my STM microcontroller to my computer using USB protocol and VISA software. When I plug STM USB device into USB port Windows sees it as unknown device and can not find any driver for it. I assume that this is situation VISA was created for. So I want to use a driver wizard to create driver for this device, but VISA does not display it in a device list. I tried to create and install driver for my device as if it was not connected, and installed created driver manually but it did not work.
Is it possible that Windows detects a USB device and VISA can't see it?

It actually depends what sort of USB device it should be. If it is a COMM USB class device, Windows should be able to pick it up directly as serial port, if it is some proprietary USB class, then you either have to get a driver installed and access that driver somehow, or create an INF file with the VISA driver wizard for it and write the driver yourself in LabVIEW using the VISA USB Raw interface. Without a very good description of the low level USB protocol however this last option is a complete no go.
If the VISA driver wizard doesn't display the device in the list then Windows has already claimed it somehow.

Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see DVD-ram UJ-850s

Hi
I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista doesn't recognize the DVD-ram any more. The BIOS recognize the DVD-ram. I did try to download the DVD-ram drivers but they are not on the side of Toshiba.
Who can help me to get the right driver or know more? From the problems with the Mat****a DVD-ram uj-850s ATA device and windows Vista.

Hi
The CD/DVD drive does not need special drivers!!!
The Vista includes a Microsoft driver which works with all ODDs (CD/DVD drives)
Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.
Some questions; did you get any error messages? What is the device manager status? Do you see any yellow exclamation marks?
There is an old way to fix a similar drive issue. It worked under XP so try it on Vista OS.
Its necessary to update the registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
1. Click on the start menu.
2. If this is a Vista machine in the search box type in regedit without the quotation marks.
3. search the registry key mentioned above.
4. In the right panel youll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and LowerFilter you want to click on each filter key and hit delete. Click yes when it asks to confirm if you wish to delete the key.
5. Restart Windows.
6. Let me know if this works.

ITunes for Windows 8 does not see iPhone and iPad

In my HP Envy notebook, iTunes (last version) does not connect to iPhone and iPad. Note that the PC connects to both. Only iTunes does not. I think this version of iTunes for windows does not use the correct USB driver.

MBA 13" (Mid 2012) 10.8.2 does not see other Macs

Hello all,
for some time now I have a strange problem with my 13" MBA (Mid 2012 - latest version) on 10.8.2. THe MBA generally works very well, fast, and stable. My only issue is that I cannot see or connect to other Macs in my home WLAN network (this worked seamlessly under 10.8.1) or elsewhere. The other Macs do not show up in the finder, and neither can I connect with them manually (via "Go to server...").
The only way to establish a connection is via creating a computer to computer network - which works perfectly but, of course, disconnects me from the internet which comes over wifi, so this is not a permanent solution.
Even stranger, there seems to be a problem with ethernet connections (via thunderbolt ethernet adapter), too. This connection work seamlessly with one of my other Macs (running on Lion - 10.7), but does not work with my iMac running on Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
I guess that something's wrong with the sharing routines on my MBA. Therefore I tried to install the 10.8.2 combo update but had to learn that this was not made for the 2012 MBA... :-(
So, what to do? Should I try a reinstall of Mountain Lion?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jan
