XServe disappeared from Windows Workgroup.

Folks,
We did some seemingly minor maintenance yesterday, and now Windows boxes no longer see the XServe in their workgroup (either in My Network Places, where other WG members appear, nor when using the short computer name in paths). They can still access the XServe just fine using complete path to server.
Amongst the "clearly unrelated activities" that we performed on the XServer...
1. Ran Permissions Repair.
2. Temporarily changed XServe's IP address in order to complete the XRAID reset-admin-info procedure that resets XRAIDs IP addresses. After which we changed IP back to what it was before.
3. Deleted one previous admin user, and added a new admin user.
We did not change any Windows-related settings.
FWIW, the Windows settings include:
Role: Standalone Server
Computer Name: [correct]
Workgroup name: [correct]
Advanced > Workgroup Master Browser [checked]
... and as far as we know, these are as before when things worked.
Any clues? Thanks,
Graham

  • Creative Cloud downloads disappearing from Windows 7 desktop

    When ever I download an application from Adobe Creative Cloud it will open the first time just fine, but once I close that application out it disappears from my desktop and side panel and becomes an empty script.
    The applications download to my hard drive and i see them there I just can not access them for some reason. I have tried to disable firewalls and other security programs but that did not work, im at a loss of what
    it could be and have not been able to find anyone else with this problem so far. This is a new PC build so I may need to download a few thing that im not aware of for these applications to stay on my desktop/side panel.
    I have downloaded flash player and other adobe recommended products and they too seem to vanish, or not work for me.
    Thank you for any help that you can offer.

  • Downloads show in downloads window, but disappear from window as soon as finished downloading.

    I start a download (say, CCleaner from filehippo.com). The firefox "downloads window" opens and the file appears, downloads, virus scans, but then it just disappears. I'm left with an empty "downloads window". The downloaded file is in my downloads folder and I have to run it from there.
    It never did this before and changing settings in OPTIONS or disabling ADD-ONS has no effect.

    See:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > "Remember download history"
    Also check the Clear Recent History (and CCleaner) settings if you use it.

  • IDE Drives Disappear from Windows XP Pro

    I put together a comp a few days ago and I'm having issues with my secondary HDD and DVD-RW drive. They are on a single IDE cable connecting to the only IDE port on my P965 Platinum (the cable that came with the mobo). I've looked everywhere for solutions and I can't find any. I'm not sure this is motherboard-related but I'd like to get any input I can.
    BIOS recognizes the drives... I've updated it to 1.3 anyway just to be safe. When I get into XP, I can see them fine. I work for a while, and then they just disappear. They aren't in Windows Explorer or Device Manager. If I reboot, they re-appear again for a period of time until they disappear again.
    Not sure if I matters but I have a SATA WD Raptor that I am using as my primary HDD for Windows/Games.
    Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    EDIT: Just noticed my Event Log captured the following: The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort1, did not respond within the timeout period.
    Specs:
    E6600
    MSI P965 Platinum
    2GB Corsair DDR2 @ 1066

    So have your IDE HDD and Optical drive been working properly?
    I would prefer active HSF for CPU. NB should be alright with passive heatsink.
    Uh... overheating the chipset was cuz I removed intel's stock cooler power cord to see if the thermal throttle can handle it. It handled it ok, but as chipset is passively cooled and cpu cooler was off, Jmicron overheated and my drives disconnected.
    But that was only case when drives disconnected with those drivers. Tho they are old beta, would think that new drivers would work too.
    My system disks are SCSI, I had 2 40gb IDE's connected to jmicron and used windows dynamic volume for raid1 (backup array). I did not trust jmicron enought to let it make the raid.
    If I needed my optical device, I had to remove my IDE hhd's, as u should not boot in windows if one of the raid disks are not connected. (and Jmicron supports only 2 pata)
    About power management, that MrTimbo mentioned, i cant say much, I noted with the beta drivers that the controller wont respond to power management instructions at all. While I was able to shutdown with software my SCSI drives, those Jmicron connected ide hdd's would not shutdown. Also receiving S.M.A.R.T and temperature data from those drives did not work with Jmicron's beta drivers.

  • Boot Camp utilities disappear from Windows 8.1

    Hey,
    I've done a search, maybe not for the right terms, and have only found responses that are quite old and deal with Windows 7; this may be the same issue but I can't tell.
    I have a(n) nMP, and have successfully installed Windows 8.1 on a Boot Camp partition.  Thing is, all of the Boot Camp stuff is now gone.  I was just going to restart back into OS X, and I looked for the little taskbar icon for Boot Camp and it's not there.  I looked through the system and have searched and I apparently no longer have anything called anything like Boot Camp in the Windows partition, but it's working great. Zero issues.
    I can restart and hold down Option and choose which system to use to start up, no problem.
    Do I need to re-install the Boot Camp stuff somehow?  How on earth did this happen; could it be a result of downloading the AMD Fire Pro utilities and latest drivers (which seem to work a heck of a lot better than whatever was installed from Boot Camp)?
    Following up to that, if I do reinstall the Boot Camp utilities somehow, will I lose my updated graphics drivers?
    Hmm.
    Thanks in advance, if I missed a thread about this, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
    Stuart

    Dear,
    After a long moments fighting again Bootcamp and Windows 8.1, i have already install all drivers for 8.1... If you guy wanna try, follow this step:
    1. Boot Camp 5.0
    2. Open Boot Camp folder and manually install 1 by 1.
    Especially for VGA Driver, you can try this driver (download on NVDIA site): 332.21-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql
    Hope that will be useful to you guy.

  • C309g disappeared from Windows 7 machine after HP update ran

    We have had a c309g attached via the LAN to a Cisco-LinkSys E3000 since December. Several computers have the printer installed, including a Dell desktop running XP SP3 (connects via LAN), a Dell laptop running Vista Business SP2 (connects wirelessly) and a Dell laptop running Windows 7 (connects wirelessly).
    Last week we got a popup advising HP updates were available and applied them (this occurred on the Windows 7 and Vista machines; not sure aboit the XP machine). After doing so, the printer was no longer accessible from the Win7 machine, and the HP Solution Center on that machine indicated the installation was not complete. The other computers were OK.
    I corrected the problem on the Windows 7 machine by going to
             All Programs -> HP -> PhotoSmart Premium c309g-m -> Add a Device
    then completing the wizard.
    The first question is, why did applying the HP updates corrupt the installation, and only on the Windows 7 machine? Have others had this problem?
    A second question is, how can I view the update history? I have no idea what got updated - was it the Solution Center or the driver (on each individual machine), or the software on the C309G itself? The web interface shows version numbers but no history information, and Solution Center doesn't even have a Help -> About option - you have to re-launch it and write the version down "real quick like a bunny" as my first COBOL instructor used to say way back when Hector was a pup (yes, he used to say that, too).

    +You can always rewrite the internal BIOS regardless which version you have now. Just make sure you checked all the settings in this program.
    Go back into the BIOS settings, then find the optical drive. Make sure it is not disabled there, select IDE-ATA or maybe SATA. Don't forget to save the settings on exit.
    After you will start the Windows, go to the Device Manager, right-click on your PC name, and select Scan for hardware changes.+
    I have tried to rewrite it with the .exe BIOS file, which I got from the official link. But when I start that file it stops, saying that the version I try to install is not newer than the actual one. If there is any other way I could use this .exe BIOS file to rewrite my BIOS, please let me know. I couldn't figure it out so far. In the old times I just made a bootable floppy disc with the BIOS files on it and it worked, never told me not to install an older version or anything like that. But now this InsydeFlash doesn't let me do that.
    I can't find the optical drive in the BIOS. Anyway, there is a setting there, so I tried to change that setting from AHCI to IDE(Compatibility), but no result.
    The Device Manager in Windows still not able to find it.
    By the way, what could that yellow light on the DVD drive mean? It turns on as soon as I switch my laptop on.
    Edit: I managed to extract the individual files from the 7-Zip .exe, I changed the flag, so it didn't check the BIOS versions anymore, then I did rewrite the BIOS to the original version (which was active when I bought the laptop), the DVD drive is not visible anywhere, everything else is fine. So I guess it is a hardware problem afterall, it wasn't a BIOS, so it has to go and get repaired.

  • Boot camp assistant has disappeared from Windows Tool Tray

    While in windows my Apple keyboard quit working. I tried to update my drivers and now the Boot Camp icon is gone from the Windows Tool Tray (and my Apple keyboard is still not recognized)? The only way I can boot into Mac is restart Windows and hold down ALT key. What have I done? DOH!

    If you have trouble in Windows, then it would seem logical to boot from that system's install CD.
    It won't help to boot into OS X, will it? maybe if you want to make an image backup (clone, with WinClone) of your XP partition.
    The "Apple OSSwitcher" boot camp tray icon, part of Boot Camp services you installed.
    You could also run system file checker (in XP)
    CMD and then sfc /scannow
    also chkdsk
    msconfig - check and see what startup and services are installed and loaded
    Programs - to uninstall first, then reboot and install a fresh copy

  • Focus disappears from window

    Hi
    I have tried to find the solution for this problem, with no
    luck.
    I have to navigate my menu with arrows alone, so i need to
    have focus on my application when my html-window is launched.
    at the moment im doing this:
    username.focusManager.showFocus();
    username.setfocus();
    it results in that i can see the focus, but i cant navigate
    unless i click on the window with the mouse.
    PLEASE help me

    Thank you for the suggestions so far, Tom and Tracy; however, I don't think I have explained myself clearly enough.
    The selected track isn't playing. This 'problem' occurs when I'm browsing through the library. If I find a track browsing through the library sorted by song titles ['Name'], select that track [not play it], but then decide that I want to see which other songs are on that album, I click 'Album' to resort the library and my selected track 'loses focus' from the window [i.e. it isn't there in front of me, on the Library screen]. I have to scroll all the way through my library to find the track [which is still selected, just not in view].
    So, is there a way for iTunes to show the selected track in the Library window after you have sorted by a different criteria.
    I could show you this simply in 2 seconds. Writing about it, however, is a different matter entirely!
    Thank you again...

  • Time Capsule Hard Disk Disappears from Windows 7 PC without changing anything on the PC, then reappears for no reason. Any Ideas what would cause this?

    Now spent hours trying to fix this problem. I am using a disk password, When I go into the explorer, around 1/4 of the time the timecapsule appears in the browse, and the other 3/4's it can not be found. I can leave the pc, then come back after a while and the disk is back.

    i'd also like to add that the time capsule is still recognised on the mac partition of my macbook pro, and also both mac and windows xp (as a network drive) on my iMac!

  • After Upgrade Xserve not visible in Windows Workgroup

    Hello:
    I up-graded an Xserve/w/Xraid from 10.2.8 to 10.4.7 by installing 10.4 on a new blank drive.
    I copied all the settings down from the existing server and re-entered them including IP and Windows server settings. Everything went well except that the Xserve no longer appears in the Windows Workgroup. Workstations can connect via SMB and AFP with out any problems but the the server does not appear in the workgroup.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,

  • In Firefox v4.0.1, custom toolbars disappear from the toolbar menu when I open a "New Window".

    1.
    I created a new toolbar in Customize... / Add New Toolbar. It's on the list of toolbars and opens up '''most times''' I start Firefox, but not ''always''. I have tested it and it is completely random.
    2.
    Same type of problem as 1., but '''''everytime''''' I use the 'New Window' feature the custom toolbar disappears from the toolbar menu and if I need to use it, I have to '''save all tabs as bookmark''' then close and reopen FireFox so I get my original window [where the toolbar shows up]. AARRRGHH.
    I've been using FF for 7 years now, so I know enough to rule out corrupted localstore.rdf, new or updated add-ons (I could be wrong though, as I often am...).
    Has this come up with other users? Am I being cursed? [lol] any help would be appreciated.

    cor-el,
    Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
    You know, you're right. I should try everything, no matter how smart I think I am!
    It's been 3 days since I deleted the localstore.rdf file and so far so good.
    Thanxs for the help

  • My entire iTunes library has disappeared from my Itunes (except for 5 songs i purchased yesterday from iStore.  Had about 300 songs!!  Anyone know how this cd happen?  Have Windows Vista.  Computer did recent Windows update. Also recently renewed Trend.

    My entire Library of songs (over 300) has suddenly disappeared from my iTunes. Only songs there are 5 I just purchased from iStore yesterday. Has never happened before.  Windows recently installed some updates.  I also recently renewed my Trend anti-virus.  I have no idea where the Library went. Have done a Search of computer and checked Recycle bin....the songs are gone.   WHAT happened?????   Can I get them back from Apple somehow?  Can I restore them from my Ipod?  (I am afraid to plug in the iPod because if it Syncs, am afraid it will also dump all my songs.  What can I do????  

    a) See: How to rename your iPod.
    b & c) If you can still the view hidden files, see this Music from iPod to computer.
    "I see LOTS of files - but they all have funky names like XYZAV.mp3"
    That's normal. When those files are back in iTunes they'll have the correct names.
    Once the files are back to your computer (and only then), you should restore your iPod. It would appear that the hard drive has become corrupt and unreadable.

  • My user folder has disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it says it is still there. Anyone know how to restore it. I can drag a duplicate from the find window onto the hard drive but don't want two copies with one hidden.

    My user folder has suddenly disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it comes up as still being there with all its data. Can drag a duplicate copy from the find window back onto the hard drive but don't want two copies there with one of them hidden. Any suggestions anyone?

    Did you update to 10.9.3?
    If you did then update to iTunes 11.2.1.
    That is the fix for that problem.

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.
