OS X :: No List Of Shared Computers In Finder

Jan 13, 2009

I am having problem with my Mac Air. For some reason when I go to Finder, there is no list of Shared computers. However, when I open Finder on my MacBook Pro it shows all shared computers in the area. From my MacBook Pro I can see the shared Mac Air, but nothing in shared of Mac Air. All shared setting on on MacBook Pro. Plus there more shared computers on the network. I think something wrong with Mac Air settings.

OS X :: How To Remove All Shared Computers

Apr 10, 2010

What are these "shared" computers? Are they other computers spying on my personal files? (is that even possible?) How can I remove these shared computes and make sure that they don't latch on to my computer again. I changed my airport password but they are still there.

OS X :: Shared Area - No Longer Shows Other Computers

Apr 5, 2009

In Path Finder and in Finder, when I look at the "SHARED" area on the left hand side of the screen, I don't see the other computers on my network as I used to. I've gone through all the usual configuration lists, but I cannot seem to find the one(s) that would impact what is shown under "SHARED".

OS X :: Finding Shared Computers In Sidebar - Not Shown

May 21, 2009

I saw all the other threads asking about how to get rid of misc. computers in the shared section in the sidebar. I'm wondering why a computer won't show up and am asking for other ideas since I've exhausted my own. I'm working with a Mac Pro, a Macbook and a Mac mini. The Mac Pro can see everything else, and the Mac Mini can see eveything else, but the Macbook does not see the Mac Pro (even though it does see the Mac mini). I need the Mac Pro to show up on the Macbook.

Here's what I've done:
updated all 3 to 10.5.7.
Repaired permissions.
Turned off firewalls.
Renamed the Macbook (as they were both called "xxxxxx's Computer").
File sharing is on, on all computers.
Tried "connect to server" to see if it would reinitialize a search for new shared computers.

Software :: Disappear Music External Memory Drives List

Sep 7, 2008

I have one of those external memory drives, nothing fancy just a 250gig deal that I have ALL of my music on. Well I usually keep it plugged into my laptop here at school, but today I accidently unplugged it without doing the proper eject procedure. So it disappeared from my Drives list and now when I plug it in, it still doesn't show up. How the hell can I get this thing to show up and let me listen to my music again.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Shared Computers Displaying In Folder Window?

Apr 30, 2012

I just noticed that on the left side of each folder, there is a section titled "Shared" and it is showing what looks like the computer names of two PC laptops from someone I know. I have never actually done file sharing with these computers, so I'm not sure why they are displaying here? Why do these display here? I come in contact with lots of people all day long and I do not see their computers in this list.

MacBook Pro :: Finder Closes When Try To Access Shared Computers

Jun 6, 2014

I'm running Mavericks on my late 2013 MacBook Pro. When I try to access a shared computer on my network, the Finder window closes as soon as I click on the computer I want to access. File sharing is turned on on the target computers, both iMacs, one is running Mavericks and the other is running Mountain Lion. The iMacs can access the MacBook Pro and each other without a problem. Firewall is not on on the iMac. Is there a setting I am missing

Info:
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

Laptops :: External G Drive Volume Disappear From Macbookpro Devices List?

May 13, 2009

I have a 500GB g-drive that I use with my macbook Pro(running Leopard O/S, current version). Because I just about maxed out the hard drive on the mac, most of my Aperture photo libraries reside on the g-drive, in a volume labeled "Aperture Photos." Something very weird happened a couple days ago that really spooked me. The G drive is configured in 4 volumes, and upon ejecting one of the volumes from the Finder window (by dragging it to the Trash which normally doubles as an Eject mechanism) my volume disappeared without the usual prompt that says something like: do you want to eject all So here I am, looking at my Finder screen, and 3 out of 4 of the G drive volumes remain listed in my Devices list, but the one with the photos on it is gone. With fear in my belly, I looked in the trash, and it looks like the contents of the entire volume ended up in there!!! So panic mode set it what do I do?!? How do I restore it? Whats weird is that the missing volume and its icon shows up on the desktop, but not in Finder, making it all but useless.

In the Finder sidebar under shared computers, we seem to be getting duplicates.  Admin Mac (1), Admin Mac (2) (when it's the same computer).  How do I clear out this list so that we don't have 13 Admin Mac's on our list?

OS X :: HD Only Showing Shared Users In List

Jul 1, 2009

When I double click on my HD and click Users the only user listed is "shared". My Home User is not there. All my data is accessible but I am concerned that it may get hidden. When I back up to my external HD it transfers all of my data but again I cant see me as a user. Could be coincidental but my logic board was replaced last week and i think it happened then.

OS X :: Macs Not Show Up In Finder Shared List

Aug 3, 2009

I just got an iMac. For the first few hours it was turned on, my MBP showed up in the iMac's Finder, and vice versa. However now, for the past two days, neither Mac has shown up in the others Finder. Connecting to afp://[their ip address] lets me see the public folders, but I still can't use the shared iTunes libraries, or share screens.

The same thing happened with the MBP and other Windows/Linux devices on the network, as well as my jailbroken iPod with Netatalk installed, but I just chalked that up to the klugey nature of mixed networking. Guess that wasn't the problem.

OS X :: Merge Two Computers / Update To Make Changes At Same Time?

Nov 29, 2010

I have 2 computers, an iMac and a Macbook Pro.I have done a clean install on both of them, but it would be much easier for me to be able to have it where whenever I make a change on my desktop, my laptop is changed too, and vice versa.

Is there any way that I can update the 2 computers whenever I want so that it updates my laptop when I make a change to my desktop? I can't think of a good way to explain what I mean, but here is basically what I want to happen:

1. I turn on my iMac and make a document with Pages, download some music with iTunes, and play and save a game of Half-life with Crossover.
2. I turn on my Laptop, and it automatically retrieves all the changes from my desktop, and downloads the document, music, and the game file.
3. Still on my laptop, I delete an application, download a PDF, and change my desktop.
4. I go back to my desktop, and it automatically deletes the application, downloads the PDF, and changes the desktop.

That is sort of what I want to be able to happen, not exactly like that, but you get the idea.

MacBook Pro :: How To Make A Shared Partition For Bootcamp

Oct 19, 2010

So if I have 10.6 installed and want to install Windows on a Mac, how can I create a 3rd (shared) FAT32 partition without reformatting the hard drive? I know how to without reformatting, but is there any way to just split my current partition into 2? I know how to do this on Windows, that is by shrinking the partition, but is there any similar function on a Mac so I don't lost existing files?

OS X :: Make Alias To Shared Drive On Desktop?

Feb 5, 2009

I have a second hard disk in my G5 that I can access by opening a finder window and clicking on my G5 in the "shared" area on the left in the sources list. However I'd simply like to make an alias to that drive on my desktop. I can't seem to do it though. I'm sure this is easy, and I did it before, but for some reason I can't seem to figure out how to do it again...

OS X :: Remove Old NetBIOS Name From Finder "Shared" List?

Dec 16, 2008

I'm trying to find ways to get rid of the Windows XP operating system as a means of sharing some data on the network and thought I'd try and experiment in Linux.

I installed OpenSuSE v11.0 and gave it the name, "mediasrv" as the NetBIOS name. Well, the experiment didn't succeed and I rebooted Windows off of the old drive and everything is just fine with the exception that the "mediasrv" NetBIOS name and the Windows XP NetBIOS name BOTH show up in the finder.

Yeah, I know it doesn't hurt anything it just drives me crazy. So, how do I remove the "mediasrv" name from showing up in the finder?

OS X :: To Make Folders Go To The Top In List View?

Dec 4, 2006

I've read many times people want to make folders appear at the top of a list in Finder like they are represented in Windows explorer. I found an article on Macworld that tells you how to do this.

I remember doing this over a year ago on my G4 Powerbook and it working. But on my Intel MacBook Pro, I can't locate the file they are referring to in the article. where this file was moved to or how to access this thing on the Intel machines?

A couple of months ago I was at the head office and connected to the in house Wifi. When I did, a bunch of shared drives or folders showed in my finder under "Shared". I figured no biggie, when I got away from the head office they'd go away. But they didn't. And I can't figure out how to get rid of them.See attached photo.

OS X :: Applications Disappear From 10.5.8?

Apr 14, 2010

Yesterday, around 6 pm, I lost two Applications: Adium (an IM client), and Adobe Acrobat. Adium was open at the time. I received an IM message, went to click on it, and nothing happened. Then I noticed the icon was grayed out. I opened Applications folder and it was gone. A spotlight search revealed nothing.

Just now I noticed Adobe Acrobat was missing. A look at Time Machine told me that it happened between two consecutive updates at 3:45 and 7:30 pm yesterday, so I assume it happened roughly the same time Adium blinked out of existence.

but it seemed related to an OS X update issue. I have a unibody macbook (not pro) that shipped with 10.5 and the only only updates I have done are minor (to 10.5.8).

A disk utility scan verified my drive as being OK and a virus scan with Clam AV (just to be safe) revealed nothing.

OS X :: Spaces Icon Will Not Disappear

Mar 10, 2010

Another random issue I have been having is that every now and then is with spaces. When navigating between spaces, the 4 window icon comes in the middle of the screen to indicate which space I am in, however occasionally this does not disappear, so I am stuck with the spaces icon in the middle of the screen. This is annoying especially when watching something, any idea why this maybe happening? How can I stop it?
