Windows Vista Machine Can No Longer Connect to Mac Following Upgrade

Before: Windows Vista machine with 6 drive letters mapped to the 6 hard drives in my Mac Pro running 10.5.8.
After: Mac Pro upgraded to 10.6. Now the Vista machine cannot connect to any of the drive letters, nor can it open the Mac Pro by browsing -- the Mac Pro shows up, but cannot be opened. A second Windows machine also cannot open any shares on the Mac Pro.
I have checked all of the settings in Network on the Mac Pro and they look fine. Does anyone have any ideas for things to check?

I was able to see the other Windows XP computer and begin to connect. I was then presented with a login screen. I tried using the usual user name and password - no luck. I then formatted the user name as as follows:
user name: computer name\user name
password: as normal
And it worked. Specifically in my case:
user: cwy-pln2152\administrator
password: planning
This is what worked for me your mileage may vary.

  • Webex can no longer connect to meetings after upgrading to Yosemite.

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and found thereafter that Webex, which is a screen share application used for online meetings, can no longer connect to Webex services using the most current versions of Safari, FireFox and Chrome. Java scripts are enabled, pop ups allowed on all browser and yet the problem persists. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

    There was nothing that I did to make it work--it just started working again in Safari. However, it takes a few minutes after I click on Login and then the meeting comes up in another window behind the one I logged in on. I just tried it in Firefox and it now works there; still does not work in Chrome. All three browsers still have the following message in a black banner at the top: "Your browser version is not supported for use with WebEx and may not provide an optimal experience.To view browsers that support the best WebEx experience, go here." One thing I did do that may have enabled it to work in Firefox was to remove Silverlight, which is a Windows app and I'm not even sure how it got on my computer. I was told that it has a similar plug-in as the WebEx plug-in. I'm still searching for answers.

  • Apple TV can no longer connect to network after upgrade.

    I had heard that lots of people were affected with this problem with the software upgrade before this one so I deliberately waiting until this one came out before taking a chance. I was wrong.
    After updating to 4.4. (3140) I can no longer connect to my network. It says there was a problem and gave the error messaged number: (5) in brackets.
    I've had nothing but problems with both Apple TV's that I have owned, version 1 and this new version 2. I've a good signal from my router and I've used three different ones over the time I've had the two apple tvs.
    Anyone got any ideas.
    I can't connect the apple tv directly because they are too far apart in the house. I can only connect by wifi.
    There is nothing wrong with my wifi because I'm connected to it fine though my imac, iphone and ipad and laptop, (not all at the same time)

    Ok, here's a solution, courtesy of our friends at AppleCare.  
    Unplug the router for 90 seconds.
    I was running ATV2 with a Time Capsule.   The TC thought the ATV was still connected using its former IP address so wouldn't let it reconnect with a new one.
    Hope this works for anyone else with same problem.

  • After upgrade can no longer connect to Mac from Windows

    I have a wireless network (Linksys) with 2 iMacs, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP workstations. I have file sharing between the Windows and Mac computers. After upgrading I can no longer see the shared folders on the upgraded iMac from the Windows box. I cannot even ping the iMac by node name, but I can ping it by IP address so it is recognizable on the network. I cannot connect by IP address, however.
    I have file and printer sharing enabled on the Leopard iMac. What can I do to restore the former connection?

    Thank you! That partially solved the problem. I can now see the Leopard Mac and can open my user folder on it. However, the subfolders give an error saying they are not accessible - permission denied. I have gone through the folders and set all of them to Shared, but this did not make them accessible.

  • Windows 7 Users Can No Longer Connect to Shared Xserve Drive

    We've had multiple computers (both PCs and Macs) setup to use a shared Xserve. All the sudden today the mapped network drives stopped working. I've tried using the "Map network drive" option on Windows 7 to add them manually again, but every time I enter the username/password it says it is not correct. I'm mapping the drive to Z and the folder to '\\10.10.10.77\shared' which is the Ethernet 1 of the Server followed by folder name on the Xserve that worked before. I'm confused what username and password it wants here because I've even reset the Xserve passwords and they still don't work and it says underneath that the Domain underneath is the name of the current PC user...
    What's going on here? Am I using the correct Folder format and with the correct username and password? This is driving me crazy!

    After hours and hours of constant searching and testing I still can't get it to work?
    Any ideas?
    I think sharing has changed in Mavericks.

  • Ipod touch can no longer connect to XP following Apple upgrade, HELP !

    This is a nightmare. My son has an ipod touch (8gb)purchased a couple of months, and it's been fine until a couple of days ago. I downloaded some music for him, and just about to synch when Apple informed me on itunes of a software upgrade, so naturally I did this. However, it could not complete it saying there was a problem installing the hardware. The ipod then had a permanent picture of a usb cable pointing towards the itunes logo. Itunes no longer recognises this ipod or my own ipod as a device.
    I'm not a techhie expert, but I generally know my way around computers, however I could not resolve this.
    I called the Apple technical support desk, where I spent 1 hour 45 minutes with 2 different advisors who could not resolve this. We installed and re-installed various components from drivers to itunes to anti virus software, however nothing could change. There was simply no recognition of the ipod at all when connected.It does give a pop up message to restore the ipod, however you can't actually click on the restore button because to have to get rid of the pop up message first, then the screen with the restore facility disappears.
    Windows xp is continually popping up a message saying " FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD There was a problem installing this hardware. Apple Mobile USB driver. An error occured during the installation of the device. The system cannot find the file specified."
    You then have to click on finish, however the message keeps coming back. We kept going round and round in circles with the technical support people, where it was left that I should start removing programmes on my computer to see if any of those are causing a problem. I have had the same spyware for the last 12 months now and never had a problem before, nor any other programmes.
    I booked a genius appointment at my local Apple store today where the assistant reset the ipod to factory settings so it could at least work. I explained the situation, however 15 minutes was never going to be long enough to look into it, and a restore was all they did. Obviously all of my programmes were lost, however when I got home and plugged it back into the computer again, it could not be recognised by itunes and i got the same pop up message. Luckily we have not spent alot on downloads, however my son has lost his music now and it cannot be connected or upgraded. It's under guarantee however a software upgrade by Apple has totally messed my computer up. I really don't know who to turn to now as both the service support and store has not rectified this, something I feel has been caused by Apple.
    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can no longer connect to Mac index via FTP

    The other computer on my LAN is running Ubuntu Karmic and I can FTP to it no problem. Used to be able to FTP to my Mac no problem until I tried this free firewall software which claimed to have a decent GUI. I made sure to remove the software completely using the TrashMe app when I decided it was useless, but have not been able to reconnect from my Linux machine to Mac via FTP. I can ping the Mac no problem and have also gone through all the basic troubleshooting steps: turned off the firewall and tried - nothing, turned the firewall back on - some story, restart, rebooted router, release/renew IP (not that that would help but what the hey).
    Anyone else experienced similar issues? Any suggestions as to next steps?

    Hi. Try this:
    - Open System Preferences
    - Open Sharing (not sure if is this name)
    - Activate Share Files (or file sharing...)
    - In Options button, you got to check FTP and the users (below) that will be able to access
    Voilá... hope this works for you!

  • Connecting a hard-wired Windows Vista machine locks up my Airport Extreme N

    I just installed a new Airport Extreme 802.11n.
    I have 3 computers...
    1. Hard-wired Mac Pro
    2. Wifi connected Powerbook
    3. Windows Vista machine--works with Wifi, but I can't plug it in without locking up the modem
    I'm using DHCP with a comcast connection.
    Everything works great until I plug in the Windows Vista machine. This immediately locks up the router and prevents internet access on all hardwired machines (wifi still works). It disappears from the Airport Utility and needs to be unplugged and reset to reappear.
    Obviously this has something to do with the IP address assignment and DHCP.
    What settings need to be changed so that I can have both my Mac Pro and Windows Vista machine hard-wired?

    Hello LeeMI. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Just to make sure, your network configuration, with the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), should look something like the following:
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > /[WAN port] AEBS /[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > /[Ethernet port] Main computer ... is this correct?

  • Help! My Sony Ericsson T715A can no longer connect to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode...

    Sony Ericsson T715A: I can no longer connect in to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode; so I can no longer sync contax, calendar, tasks etc. with MS Office Outlook. Also cannot back up phone, or
    update software. Can only drag files out into Explorer folders. When I connect the phone, it has to be on. Instead of going right to phone/PC mode, I get a message on it saying "Phone functions are
    not available in File Manager mode. Continue?" I say yes, whereupon the phone seems to restart, & then the Microsoft Autoplay folder comes up, or else I can find it in "devices and printers." R-
    click the icon, "properties" Identifies it only as a generic Microsoft device. I tried running the computer troubleshooter on it, which came up w/nothing.
        After some period of time I will notice that the phone either rings and I can answer it, or it has stopped recharging, and the icon has disappeared from the PC.
        I had the 2007 version of PC Suite and PC Companion, and when I tried to install it on my 2010 PC w/ Windows 7 it said not compatible. I downloaded an update for that software from the SE site, but it didn't help. Then I ran the compatibility wizard in Windows 7 for PC Suite. Still no luck. I got a tip from an SE forum to uninstall all that software and download a certain package and start fresh. I am about to try that.
        Here is my question:
    ALL T HIS TIME I have still been using the OLD SIM card from my SE ZZ710i in the newer phone. I figured it works; why not preserve the newer one from wear & tear as long as poss.
    Now, it has been a while since I synched or backed up my phone. I hate to lose everything on it/the SIM card. If I install a whole new version of SE PC Suite, is it going to somehow overwrite or not work at all with my
    old SIM card? Must I insert the NEW SIM 1st, & sacrifice whatever data is on the old one, before trying the new desktop software and updateing the phone?
    As for updating the phone, which I realize wipes out data, it might be necessary.. I noticed in some Event log or other that some SE-related working file called EMMA was deleted recently, I don't know why. Anyone know anything about that?
      Phew. The End. Here's hoping.

    To answer your answer:
    a. I WAS using a NEW USB cord when I posed the question.
    b. I've now downloaded the update service. I can try updating the phone from its File manager state. I'm just afraid whatever data is on it will get wiped, no?

  • Can no longer connect to Windows XP Home Network

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks and just noticed I can not longer connect to my Windows XP Home Network. Besides sharing files I also print through that network, but it's not just the printer that's afftected. In "Finder" I see the Home>Office Folder but I can't connect to it. I deleted the printer and tried to re-add it but I get a message saying that the server my not exist or is unavailable.
    It's been a long time since I set this all up so I don't even know where to look and/or begin.
    TIA

    There is a problem with connecting to a shared printer on Windows XP from Mavericks. But you should still be able to connect to a shared folder, although my testing was with Windows XP Pro, not Home. One thing you do have to ensure is that the Windows user account has a password. You cannot connect to a shared folder on WinXP if the Windows account has no password.

  • Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

    Hello,
    Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
    I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
    I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
    Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

    Can the Mac connect to the PC?
    Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
    in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
    Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
    Has the IP changed?
    Hello!
    Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
    Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
    Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

  • 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

  • HT1923 I can't uninstall iTunes from the control panel on a Windows Vista machine.  .

    I need to uninstall iTunes so I can upgrade my Windows Vista machine to Windows 7 Home Premium.  When I try to uninstall it tells me I can't because I don't have administrator privleges.  I am the only user account on the machine and I have full administrator priveleges.  Any idea how I can get iTunes to uninstall?

  • Experiencing trouble syncing with the 10.3 version of iTunes on my Windows Vista machine. Have uninstalled all Apple software twice, reinstalled and continue to get an error 7 message in connection with the Photo Processor. Any other ideas to try?

    Experiencing trouble syncing with the 10.3 version of iTunes on my Windows Vista machine. Have uninstalled all Apple software twice, reinstalled and continue to get an error 7 message in connection with the Photo Processor. Any other ideas to try?

    Hi,
    got it fixed! My Son had both files on his Win7 iTunes installation. Never mind he had no issues whith ths iTunes and iPhone Sync. So I checked my other Win XP PC, where I don't have this problem syncing my ipad, and surprise. Both files do NOT show up on this PC. So I renamed the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe I found under c:\program file\iTunes and synced again my iPhone and it went through without any error. So the problem might be and unremoved iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe or the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll under the iTunes install root folder and this even if I had checked that the folder was completely removed during iTunes unistall.
    Please try yourselve and just rename the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe_ under c:\program file\iTunes or get a copy of the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll and cp to c:\program file\iTunes.
