When was the last time you did any of the following?
Restart your computer?
Repaired Permission & restarted your computer?
Run "Repair Disk" from your install DVD?

  • Personal File Sharing - Shared Folders not found

    I have a mbp and 2 iMacs. They connect to the internet through an airport extreme. I would like to share files between them all. I have tried using personal file sharing in System Preferences. I turned it on, on all the machines. I also turned on apple talk under Network in System Preferences. All of the machines can ping each other yet when I go to Network no folders come up.
    Do I need to do anything with the router or any other settings?
    Any help would be great. Thank you.

    See the following:

    Also select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu, enter the word "sharing" in the search field. You will find a listing of numerous articles on file sharing.

  • Password Protected Personal File Sharing

    Hi, I am trying to set up personal file sharing to require a password whenever anyone wants access to the PFS address (i.e 192.168.255.12/~users/). I remember being able to do this under os 9, but i can't find anything similar to that in Tiger.
    Can anyone help me out?

    Hi Pablo,
    Many, many ways to do it, but Sharepoints...

    Is the easiest way to get complete control.

  • Problem with "Personal File Sharing"

    Apple Support
    "Personal File Sharing" does not work in my Powerbook G4 17 inch with 1.67 ghz CPU and with 1 gb ram.
    There is long delay, if I turn on the "Sharing" dialogue box.
    When it works shortly, I click the "Personal File Sharing" option.
    Then there is long delay again, then "Windows Sharing" is automatically selected without any change.
    "Personal File Sharing" is always off.
    When I click the other options while this short moment, they can be turned on and off.
    Only "Personal File Sharing" does not work!
    And my Laptop can not be seen in other OS X.
    How can I find the reason and how can I solve this problem?
    What I can suppose is only the installation of Server Assistent.
    Can it be a problem?
    Sincerely yours

    This may or may not help you, but doing so has helped numerous other users in other forums here (iChat, Mail, Print&Fax, etc.) that have reported crappy performance problems of one sort or another.
    Download the OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for Intel (for ktom) or PPC (for prko).
    Close all services and ports in Sys Prefs Sharing. Run Disk Utility and verify your boot drive. Then repair permissions. Reapply the combo update. Repair permissions again. Reopen desired services and ports in Sys Prefs Sharing. Reboot. Post back and let us know if that helped or not.

  • Personal file sharing: not possible

    Hi all, when I tried to turn ON Personal File Sharing , it switchs back to Off. Any ideas.
    Thanks and Merry Xtmas

    Hi Borec,
    It could be that your System Preferences plist file is corrupted.
    Navigate to User/Library/Preferences folder, and find the file:
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Trash this file, and reattempt to reset your Personal File Sharing. (By the way, you'll need to reset all your system prefs, after you trash the above file...)
    Merry Christmas,
    Bob

  • Password Protecting Personal File Sharing

    Hi,
    I can't find an option to password-protect the Personal File Sharing in System Preferences - and if I click Network in Finder, I can see my Mac (local server) and am able to access any folder, app or whatever. Can people on other macs who joined my network do this? The firewall for PFS is turned on.
    Thanks guys.

    You're not really turning PFS off. Didn't mean to give you that impression, sorry.
    Sharepoints lets you specify which folders you ARE sharing, and password-protects them.
    Just download it and see. A picture/demo is worth 1,000 words.
    This is donationware software.
    Like it? pay the guy something.
    Don't like it? Don't use it.
    Don't want to donate a few shekels? Then don't. (cheapskate that's a wink, since I'm just joking with you there.
    I am not affiliated with Sharepoints in any way.

  • Personal File Sharing Quits - Help!  I have a deadline!!

    I'm having problems with personal file sharing. I have two macs, both dual 2GHz G5s. Computer 1 has all of the work files on it, and when computer 2 tries to connect, it shuts down personal file sharing! Computer 1 can connect to computer 2, but not the other way around.
    Can someone please help. As usual I have a deadline and I need this solved asap.
    Thanks
    PS. I'm using os x v10.4.6 Which I installed yesterday. After I installed that update, file sharing worked fine. Now, after I restarted again today, suddenly file sharing keeps shutting down.

    I seem to have got it working again. I used a program called Xupport to repair the permissions and do some other system maintenance, and now everything is working again.
    carry on...

  • I am trying to import quicktime audio files into FCPX and it's saying they're not suppored - Help?

    Here is the How to import in itunes 11. Including the Join tracks option.

    Also if you have imported them then  this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs

    the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free

  • Personal File Sharing Quites when trying to connect

    Everytime I try to connect from another mac to my G5 the personal file sharing unchecks and blocks the connection. Firewall is off.

    Okay I did it and then repaired permissions and this is what it changed:
    group is 501
    Owner and group corrected on ./Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    Permissions corrected on ./Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    User differs on ./Library/Preferences/com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist, should be 0, owner is 501
    Permissions differ on ./Library/Preferences/com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist, should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are -rwxrwxrwx
    Owner and group corrected on ./Library/Preferences/com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist
    Permissions corrected on ./Library/Preferences/com.apple.ByteRangeLocking.plist
    The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
    It only did stuff on that file and the -rw-rw stuff is that read write? because i don't want it changing that?

  • Personal File Sharing failure between Leopard MBP and Tiger iMac

    Hi,
    I am attempting to give the iMac access to files on the Leopard using Personal File Sharing. Personal File Sharing is turned on on the MBP. The firewall on the MBP has been variously set for Essential Services Only and turned off. The firewall on the iMac is off (it has no internet connection). I have tried both encrypted and unencrypted ad-hoc wireless networking on various channels. I have tried ethernet. The results are always the same:
    1) the MBP will appear in the Network folder of the iMac, but any attempt to connect fails. I am unable even to reach a Drop Box.
    2) the iMac appears in the Shared section of the Sidebar on the MBP, and connections of all kind work without problems
    I have no internet connection in the house and am unable to try connecting both Macs to the same WiFi network for testing purposes. I have tried pinging each machine from the other using Network Utility, with failure reported in every case ---however, I'm led to believe this is not unusual in small network circumstances.
    One other piece of info that may be relevant: I am also struggling to have my iPod touch found by my MBP when attempting to use the WebDAV protocol to share files with Files Lite. My iMac connects to Files Lite without issue. Stanza Desktop also refuses to find Stanza. Cyberduck will find Files Lite on the network from the MBP (the only app to recognise it in any way from my MBP), but will consistently fail to connect. Perhaps this is related?
    Any help would be welcome. I can provide more information as needed. I have only offered the information I thought would be useful, and that fits within my layman's understanding of networking.
    Thanks.
    S.

    Hi,
    Well, it's all working fine now. Seems I /hadn't/ tried turning off the firewall on the MBP. The PFS now works with the firewall off or with "Set access for specific services and applications", but not "Essential services only".
    *shrugs* I was so sure I'd tried it with the firewall off…
    So, thanks! All is now kushti. I may have to grumble to myself a little (and ultimately to Apple) about the lack of co-operation between the firewall and the Sharing prefs, and what I perceive as a poverty (or at least poor layout) of information in the firewall settings pane, though. I mean, why can't the firewall automatically choose the correct setting depending on the Sharing preferences? Or, at least, provide a pop-up that such a change is necessary? Hmm…
    Ta!
    S.
    PS: FYI, "guest" sharing was already enabled, presumably by default.

  • Personal file sharing won't complete 'starting up' phase

    i'm trying to network my Power Mac G5 to my iBook G4...
    everything seems fine on my G5: the Sharing preferences went smoothly, and i can access my iBook from it. (they're both connected via ethernet to my DSL router)
    but when i try to set the Sharing preferences on my iBook, for both the Personal File Sharing and Personal Web Sharing services, when i click 'on' box they just sit there, grey, in 'Starting Up' mode and never actually turn on.
    i ran a Disk Repair Permissions to no avail.
    i have no idea what to do next...

  • Personal file sharing issue

    Hi all,
    i have problem with turning on personal data sharing. After clicking Start button text says File sharing starting up, but not start. I lats it for night it not start.
    Thanks for any help
    P.S. sorry for my engllish...

    Ahoj Qstudio, a přivítat do fóra!
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
    (Then Trash the original of this one, as "moving" it only copies it.)
    Then reboot once more.
    Try to setup Personal File Sharing again.

  • Personal File Sharing not in Sharing list

    Hi. I am running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8 and I would like to turn on the Personal File Sharing service under Sharing from the System Preferences menu. Unfortunately, the only services available in the list are Remote Login, Apple Remote Desktop and Remote Apple Events.
    Any advice on adding Personal File Sharing to the Sharing list would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Personal File Sharing problem

    We networked an iMac, iBook and PowerBook G4 through airport. Worked swimmingly until recently. Now the PowerBook is making difficulties. It recognises both other computers but fails to actually connect to them (just continues 'thinking' eternally while trying to connect). The other two computers don't see the PowerBook but still network well together.
    Problem (I think): iMac and iBook in System Preferences> Sharing> Services Personal File Sharing is still selected, but on the PowerBook it was somehow automatically deselected. The PowerBook now refuses to start Personal File Sharing no matter how often I click on it. All other services (Windows Sharing, Personal Web Sharing etc) can still be selected, but that is not much use.
    A known problem?

    It's system wide then. A reinstall of the OS will probably cure it. You can try an Archive and Install (choosing the "Preserve Users and Network Settings" option) but if the problem presists after that, a full reinstall (after backing up user accounts to another drive) may be necessary.
    If you have an external drive, backup your user account Home folders. If you don't have one, backup important documents to CDs/DVDs prior to reinstalling the OS.
