Windows machine cannot open shares

Hi,
I have 10.4.8 server with shares enables. My mac clients can access shares without any problem.
I have however one XP customer and he simply cannot see the server (while browsing through Workgroup).
My windows setup is now in standalone.
What am I missing there??
Cheers
Ben

Hello,
In Workgroup Manager, sharing pane, click on the share you want to configure, protocols, configure Windows file settings: Share items usin SMB, Allow smb access, etc..

Windows Journal cannot open " ". An unexpected error occurred in Windows 7 Professional

I copied my Windows Journal Notes from a tablet with Windows XP Tablet PC edition onto my Windows 7 Computer. When I try to open a note from the pull down "look-in" menu within the Windows Journal program, I gives me the error
"Windows Journal Cannot open. An unexpected error occurred." I thought this was a problem with my computer, BUT have replicated this same error on every computer in Best Buy and other computer stores. This is not a problem with
my personal notes. This is a problem with the coding of the Windows Journal Software on Windows 7 and 8. It was also tested on a Vista computer with the same error.
Please, if someone knows how to fix this problem please let me know. I use Windows Journal exclusively on a tablet PC for my business and am afraid of upgrading from XP to Windows 7 or 8 unless I can see that the Win7 version of JOURNAL works properly
as the WinXP Tablet edition of Win Journal.
Note: I have tried recreating user profiles, sfc.exe, cleanboot, safe mode, chkdisk.... all failed. THE PROBLEM I BELIEVE IS THE ACTUAL CODE that is written for Windows Journal. ALL notes can be opend by hitting FILE-OPEN. However, if you
go to the "view recent notes" button and click on the "look-in" pull down menu within the Windows Journal program, you can not open the file through this. Because of the way I do my business, I need to look up various files quickly
and write notes after opening each note from the "look-in" pull down menu.
Please Help.

The problem seems to be that the "look-in" menu doesn't open the files which are located in the "Notes" folder. If I open the files through windows explorer in windows 7, the file opens into windows journal and appears in the look-in menu.
Another interesting thing occurs if you create an additional folder under my documents. I tested this on various computers in an electronic store: Windows Journal was working fine with the "look-in" menu; I was able to open various journal note
documents. Then, once I created another folder under My Documents and tried to open a journal note in that folder and then go back to the "notes" folder, I was able to replicate the same error message.
In short, it seems that once a new folder is created, the original folder "Notes" as well as the new folder, both do not allow for the files within them to be opened through the "look-in" menu. However, they may be opened from hitting FILE, then OPEN.
But, the "look-in" and Browse menu doesn't work.
Also, I looked in the Event Viewer and couldn't find anything in particular related to Win Journal. Please tell me what and where specifically to look in the Event Viewer --- I can't seem to find anything related to Windows Journal errors in the Event
Viewer.
Thank you.

After updating photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 x32 (windows) I cannot open my documents/files or create new

I had the problem before. Reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and updated again.
Clicking a file starts Photoshop but does not open the file.
If I click "new" to make a new file, nothing happens.
Help....!!!!!!

Hi PE
Yes, but nothing happened.
I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.
However, it did not work.

Windows users cannot open window friendly attachments

Hello All,
I have sent "windows friendly" attachments from Mail but Windows recipients cannot open the attachments. This is with .tiff , .pages, etc. I have also tried to change the file name to .doc, .tif, etc. The only attachments that seem to work are .pdf . The check box "send windows friendly" is always checked.
Any way around this?

I tried it and it works. From Pages I did this:
1.
2. Clicked Word Doc.
3. Then saved to desktop so it is easy to find
At first what I did was attach a "Windows Friendly" from Mail. Which you would think would make it "ok" for a pc user. Guess not... (see below)
Thanks for everybody's help!

Windows Defender cannot open

Hello,
I've got a question about Windows defender: I have a brand new Thinkpad T440S (Windows 8.1 Pro) and
Windows Defender cannot open. There is a message saying: “This app has been turned off and isn’t monitoring your computer”. Impossible to turn it on”. When I try to launch it (R+service.mcs + windows defender), I still have this message: “Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.”
What should I do about this issue?
Thanks a lot for your answers/advice.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
For Windows 8 (and later), Microsoft renamed its Microsoft Security Essentials anti-malware software to Windows Defender. Which can be a bit confusing since Windows Defender was the name of the anti-spyware program Microsoft shipped for Windows 2000 through Windows 7, and worked alongside other anti-malware programs.
Windows Defender (the version for Windows 8 and newer) is a full anti-malware program and cannot be run in combination with other anti-malware programs such as those from Kaspersky, McAfee, Symantec and so forth.

Windows users cannot open my Pages documents

Even though I check Windows Friendly Attachment, Windows users cannot open my Pages documents. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

If the only questions we're going to answer are the ones that aren't already answered in the manual, then these discussions will consist of little more than directing people to page numbers. Yes, it would be nice if people read the manual before posting here. But everyone's brain works a little differently, and I don't mind if nice people ask questions that can be solved by reading the manual or doing a search in this discussion group. Even figuring out how to find things in the manual isn't intuitive to a lot of people.
In terms of helping people, it's actually a lot less work to provide a solution for them than to look it up in the manual, then come back and report the page number.

Windows users cannot open my Mail attachments

I run into periodic Windows users who cannot open my attachments. Initially they claim they did not receive them, however on further inspection they have received them, just cannot open them.
These files are in various formats: jpg. tif. pdf. I include all file extensions and I send as Windows Friendly Attachment.
What can be done to remedy this problem?

Have you tried Zipping them before attaching? Sometimes this helps.

Acrobat 9 on Windows 7 - cannot open

At work we have a number of users running Windows 7 Pro x86 and Acrobat 9 Standard. Within the past two weeks I've had 3 users running this setup complain to me that they've been periodically seeing an issue where they cannot open a PDF file. After examining the situation I find that there are multiple instances of Acrobat hung up in the background. Once I kill all of these instances via Task Manager, I can open Acrobat just fine.
I'm wondering if the most recent Acrobat update (9.3.2) could possibly be causing this issue?

Hey jeroenb16613921,
Please specify exactly when you get this white popup screen. While opening a PDF or launching Acrobat by double-clicking on the Acrobat icon.
If it comes when opening a PDF, then where is this PDF actually stored?
Let me know more on the same so that I can analyze the issue.

Anubha

Airport Utility/Time Machine, cannot open Airport Utility

Cannot open Time Machine. I go to set up, Change Disc, click on Time Capsule and notice pops up to enter name and password. There is only space for password, no space for name. When I go to Utilities and click on Airport Utility message pops up "The application Airport Utility quit unexpectedly". Clicked relaunch and same message pops up. How can I open Airport Utility which should then allow me to open Time Machine?

Sorted, it was an issue with the channel on the TC not matching the channel on the router. I manually matched them and now all is good.

Error while loading shared libraries: libtasn1.so.3: cannot open share

Hello,
I have done an update to the system today and now I see the following error:
emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libtasn1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
same happens if I try to open epiphany.
I have:
extra/libtasn1 3.0-1 [installed]
I tried to reinstall it, but there is no effect. Any idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks!

looking at the file list, libtasn1 3.0-1 comes with libtasn1.so.6. The packages that depend on it will need to be rebuilt for the soname bump. If you're sure that you're completely up to date, file a bug report. If you got the versions of the programs you're using from the AUR, rebuild them yourself.

Windows machine cannot see TC/AP network

I've set up TC to run a network and everything works fine with my Macbook Air. The problem is that my windows machine can't even see the network created? The SSID is being broadcasted since I can see it with my mac. If I plug in the old router, I can see it with both machines.
Airport utility is installed on the PC but it can't even find the device and it is within 20 feet. I've reset the TC and tried a number of settings but no luck. I've ensured it broadcasts as b/n.
Any ideas?

Did you the same wpa password as your previous router? The SSID isnt hidden on Time Capsule is it?

My firefox on my lap top (with windows 7) cannot open a website with a username and password, without first clearing the history ? my other computer has windows xp and it works fine.

My firefox on my lap top (with windows 7) cannot login to my e mail website with a username and password, without first clearing the history ? my other computer has windows xp and it works fine.

I simply reinstalled fire fox 3.6.19 and I can login no problem. Seems like it could be a compatability problem between 5.0 and windows 7. One other thing that happened often was lag while playing mmorpg games. Not sure if this fixed it or not, but I can update this thread when i find out.
Thank you to who ever provided the link to the older fire fox downloads page in another question thread.

Windows machine cannot view hard drive connected to mac.

All,
I've tried to search with no luck.
I'm working in a serverless mac/pc environment. I have a mybook attached via firewire to a mac used for backup purposes. All of the pc's in the office can connect to the mac and it's primary hard drive. They cannot see, let alone connect to, the additional hard drive. All of the macs in the office have the option of choosing a volume when mounting the mac in question. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Jared

By default, only directories on the boot drive are
available to network clients.
If you're using SMB (which is the standard in Windows
networks), you need to specifically configure the SMB
server to tell it to share additional directories on
the external drive.
The easiest way to do this is to get a copy of SharePoint
s, a GUI front end to the AFP and SMB server
daemons.
Camelot - Thanks for the tip, but I am having trouble completing your suggestion - Is it possible to see other Mac hard drives on an XP machine and if so - what is the step by step and what do you expect to see once it is set up and from the XP side of things what sort of set up is required - is there instructions on this somewhere that you know of or is it something that you yourself have the time to answer? Thhanks.

Windows XP cannot open Reader

I have a problem that started about a month ago. Everytime I try to open a PDF in Adobe Reader (9 or 10) or if I just try to open up the reader alone, Windows XP SP3 gives me one of 2 error messages...
1. Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
2. The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.
So today I decided to repair the install. That did not fix the problem.
The next thing I decided to do was to uninstall Adobe reader 9 and do a fresh install o fthe latest version, 10.
As soon as installation completed I was able to open up one PDF file. After I closed it and tried opening up Adobe Reader 10 alone or anopther PDF (or even that same PDF), I got the same errors above.
So unistalling and reinstalling Reader did not fix the problem either. I still have the same exact problem as when I had reader 9 installed.
I tried searching Adobe support and forums for these errors and I cannot find anything at all, which I find rather odd. Even a google search turns up nothing for me.
Can someone please help me to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

130+ views on this thread and not one reply?
Surely I am not the only one with this problem. Yet, I cannot find any other similar threads that have working solutions. I already tried repairing the install and then reinstalling. I also do not have Acrobat installed, just the reader.
I have also come across many other threads that are somewhat similar to mine and those threads never received any replies, which is very disappointing because I figured this is the best place to start for help on an adobe product. Please don't prove me wrong Adobe!
Can I please get some help?
