"Your folder can't be shared" message

ThinkPad T520 - my networking system was working fine connecting with three other computers. I must have done something in uninstalling programs or installing a new program. The T520 will not recognize the network and the files will not share. I get the message shown above. I have searched the Internet support areas and found some complex solutions that are beyond me. At this point I have two choices, take it to an authorized local repair shop or bring the system back to factory setting.
Any advice on what I should do to resolve this?
Thanks

Hello
Please make sure if File and Printer sharing is checked on the network connections.
Network and Sharing Center -> Click the current connection -> Status -> Properties
Make sure that "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is checked.
If that doesn't work try this

Your folder can't be shared.

I am a local administrator on this domain member Windows 7 Professional computer. When I try to share a folder, I get the message "Your folder can't be shared". The folder is on a local USB-attached drive. That is all the message says; it does not provide
any further details whatsoever. Also, I cannot seem to find a KB article pertaining to this issue. Very frustrating. Any help would be very much appreciated!
TIA,
Sam "flux"

I had the same issue. here is what i did to share a folder on windows 7.
from top menu select:
tools > Folder options...
in the pop-up window click on the "view" Tab
go to the bottom of the list and un-check "Use Sharing Wizard (recommended)" and hit OK
Then Right-click on the folder you want to share and from menu select:
Share with > Advanced sharing...
from "Share properties" window, select "share" tab and then "Advanced sharing..."
check "share this folder" and you can further set the permissions on the same pop-up window by clicking "permissions"
My other PC was on another network from where I wanted to access the folder on windows 7 so i added windows 7 pc to work group. you can play around with the workgroup but the above will share the folder without any error.

Can't PGP decrypt message

Hello,
I'm having problems with decrypting messages from a friend. I have his public key imported and signed as trustworthy, but I could't decrypt messages he encrypts with my key.
Enigmail says: "Error: signature verification failed", and by trying manually through gpg i get the following:

The way you've worded this suggests you're not clear on how public/private keypair systems work. Having your friend's public key is irrelevant to whether or not your friend can send you encrypted messages. To send you encrypted messages, there is only one requirement: that you have your private key kept secret on your destination machine, and your friend has access to your public key from their machine.

This doesn't say a lot without knowledge of what commands you used to generate the key and decrypt the message.
When I was learning to use GPG/PGP, I set up some dummy accounts on my machine for fake users called Alice, Bob and Eve. Then I did exercises like setting up key pairs for Alice and Bob, and have Bob create a signed message encrypted for Alice, and then see what information Eve can discover when "she" intercepts the message. You might wish to consider doing similar exercises.

HT5622 Why can I send a message with an attached photo to one contact on phone or email and can't to another contact. I can sent message on iPhone still I was using messages on iPad

Why can I send message on iPad messages to one contact and not send same message with same photo to another contact. I can sent message on iPhone to same contact

I would guess that the problem contact does not have iMessage turned on. The iPad can only send iMessages not SMS messages (phone text). You can send a message to this contact with your iPhone because your iPhone can send SMS text messages.

How do I install icc profiles? I keep getting message that folder can't be modified.

How do I install ICC profiles on Lion? I keep getting an error message that the folder can't be modified. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If the profiles need to be accessed by all user accounts on that Mac, follow Martin's instructions for getting the main Library folder to appear. In order to place items into the folder, you need the admin name and password before the OS will allow you to add (or remove) any items. It's either that, or you have to copy the same profiles into every individual user account.
If the only user of the Mac is you, then the Profiles folder in your user account will work just as well.

What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
Use Go, Connect to server.
Type in the IP address if static.. eg
AFP://10.0.1.1
Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
Type in
AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

When I try to copy the Aperture file, it copies about 70% of the file (it's about 33GB in size), and halfway through I get this error.
I'm able to copy 99.99% of all of the images if I open the Aperture Folder using the "show package contents" under the backups using finder (Time Machine Backups>Backups.backupdb>CQ Macbook Air>2012-04-30-070933>HD.....>Pictures>Aperture Library). The only file I can't copy is that picture, which I'm totally ok with deleting, but Finder won't delete it for me. If nothing else works, I could copy the individual masters and re-create the folders, however I'd hate to do this as I would have to go through 10,000+ pics

I can't download mountain lion, I get the following message "could not complete your purchase, can't verify the file, it may be damaged or unsigned" ? what do i have to do ?

I can't download mountain lion, I get the following message "could not complete your purchase, can't verify the file, it may be damaged or unsigned" ? what do i have to do ?

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps.

If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

We relied upon the "days available for download" to get people to take
action more quickly. The "virus scanning" progress bar was simply another
way of knowing this activity was actually taking place - unless this is
written somewhere in the Adobe Send User Guide.....wherever that is.

my nokia3230 name fold can't be opened and copied from phone to computer through data line,but other application programs run well.Do you have any good idea or solution?thank you for your help in advance!

Read the section E about restore issues.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
But you should be able to mount the sparsebundle and backup the major items if they are not damaged. You might also do a disk verify to see if the corruption can be repaired.
Have a look here also for restore of selected items.

Gmail "All Mail" folder. Why can I not delete messages?

i am new to the Mac community. When I open Mail, I have a Gmail folder labelled "All Mail". This folder loaded over 10600 messages from my earlier email activity on a PC. Every time I try to delete any of them, the messages just load back into the folder. Is this normal?. i can move messages to the "Bin" folder, but they still cannot be deleted. Are these messages taking up hard disc space on my new iMac? If so what can I do about it?

I have a different but related question re Gmail's "All Mail" folder: will Gmail get confused if there are emails in folders (tags) that don't have a corresponding copy in the All Mail folder?
CONTEXT:
In my Mac's mail app, I have several accounts (a couple Gmail accts, my icloud acct, etc.). Thus far I've been moving mail from my main Gmail acct into my folders (tags) in that Gmail acct, to store them after I've read / acted on them. E.g., I have a folder for 2013Q1, 2012Q4, 2012Q3, etc. -- these comprise basically a chron-based, self-managed set of archive folders. I even started moving mail from the Sent folder into these folders.
However, I'd like to also start moving mail from my NON-Gmail accts to that main Gmail acct and store them in the same folders. I see that when I move a mail from, say, my iCloud acct, it does show up in the target Gmail folder, but there is NO copy of that mail showing up in the Gmail "All Mail" folder.
Is that a problem? It seems to me that Gmail's All Mail folder is there as a master-index to mail in various folders (tags) ... so is it a problem to have a mail is in a Gmail folder without being in All Mail? (I think the same question would apply if someone wanted to delete mail from Gmail's All Mail folder -- can it be done without harming the copy in other folders? (An example that's not directly on-point: I've considered deleting those myriad drafts that get uploaded to Gmail automatically when you are drafting a message -- but in that case, only the final draft is in another Gmail folder.)
Thanks!

Can't find Sent Messages in Sent folder

Can't find sent messages in Sent Folder

Yes, this same problem occurs to me - but only after migrating to Mountain Lion (or at least I did not notice it before)
Yes, I am operating several different eMail addresses - does this have anything to do with this problem ?!
Please help, if you can, this is enormously irritating.
Thanks & regards
