10.11.5 OSX Windows 7 folders update connection failed

I recently updated my Mac OSX 10.11.5.  Before the update I was on before the most recent version, not sure what the previous issue, but I was already in El Capito.  I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inch, mid-2014)

I got a Setup FROM my windows desktop PC 7 very basic file sharing.  I had shared folders on my Windows 7 PC WITH no password protection.  I'm not using residential groups or anything like that, just the standard function where you right click on the folder in windows 7, click Properties, and then use the tab share to allow everyone on the network to access some files.

Normally I opened finder on my macbook, click on my windows PC in the left column under the shared section.  The windows PC is called "yale-pc."  I would be invited on the macbook to connect or log in as a guest.  I've always had to sign in as a guest, the connection method requires a password, but once again the windows network has no password.  Once logged in as a guest I could open my windows folder and select the media for playback on the macbook.

Nothing has changed on my windows PC.  All my other devices on the network still work correctly and can access the files on my windows 7 PC with no problems at all, so I know he's still working.

But on my macbook when I choose now the connection as a guest mac says "failed to connect".  Even the shortcut I had on the Mac Office to link directly to a folder called 'TV' on my windows computer I have the same problem.  In my view, this recent update I read was in large part on securing network connections caused a buggy script where I can access is no longer my computer shared folders on windows correctly.

If I use the finder and select the go menu, then click on to connect to the server and attempt to connect to "yale-pc", I get an actual error with this method.  I will include a screenshot of the error.

The last absolutely more confusing part is when I introduce a 3rd computer to test.  I have another windows 7 PC called "pc game" I pulled this high unit strictly for testing purposes.  All my other computers at home can see "pc game" shared files without problem.

When I try to connect to "pc game" my Mac, I have the same problems.  HOWEVER for some reason, in the shared finder column, if I click on "yale-pc" then "pc game" and then click BACK to the "yale-pc" IT WORKS!  I can access and read my files of the 'yale-pc' on my mac.  But it only works if I turn on both my computers windows 7, then alternatively by selecting one and then the other in the lookup column.  This proves that it IS possible for my Mac to connect, but only with the extremely annoying method which requires me to run on two computers separate windows just to access the files, I need one.

Like a fool, I don't have a time machine backup that is not an option.

No idea what's going on, I use my mac daily to access the multimedia video files from Windows PC that has made the hard drive space to hold my collection.

Any ideas?

I'm having exactly the same problem after the update!

Thus the same error message

but it is impossible to connect to my pc network

any idea please?

  • Can I save on all windows vista premium updates that failed?

    I am using windows Vista Premium, as mentioned above, and I have updates that have failed up to two years.  I started with 'SP1' and I migrated to "SP2" despite the large number of updates failed.

    I also have a large number of chess updates for Office 2007 and a few others.  I should probably mention that my original Vista Acer drive has been moved (probably lost).  I'm operating a valid OS despite self made. and manuals windows license verification work.  In the end, it seems that these updates failed eventually cause problems.
    Translate... Can I just start their withdrawal in reverse order?
    Please advise, I'm at whits end!
    Greetings to all,
    mddocoh

    Means failed, that updates have not been installed; so there is nothing to remove.

    You could try to reset the update components and see if that helps

  • Windows Error Reporting service connection failed

    For some unknown reason to me, the Windows Error Reporting service has decided that it cannot send crash reports to Microsoft.

    I get the above error when I try to "Find a solution" review problem reports dialog. 'Try again later' does not work. I've tried several "recommended fixes' including digitization of system files corrupted, by ensuring that the WER service is running, and check firewall issues. Reports of incidents used to work, so I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. Can someone shed light on the possible cause?

    Hi BaradaNikto,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Before you repair your operating system, you can purge all existing reports by using the disk cleanup utility, and then see if you get the error.

  • Windows 7 - no Ethernet connection

    My Windows 7 desktop internet connection fails to connect with the wired ethernet connection. Wireless Internet is fine. The problem seemed to start after a series of updates to Windows in December. I have them down one by one, and KB2898785 seems to be the culprit. It automatically reinstalled, the connection did not work once again, I supported it off once again, the connection worked again. This has happened several times. I know now that I could have / should have hidden this update, but did not at that time here. One of the moments where I backed the update, the connection still did not work and has not since. I've been spinning my wheels restoration at each point of restoration available without success. Manage the network device map 'cannot start (error 10). I downloaded the latest driver using my laptop and installed it on the desktop, but it made no difference. As the network adapter worked when I backed up updates I think this isn't a hardware problem. I'm running out of ideas, someone has a suggestion?

  • Unable to boot from USB or ODD after that windows 8.1 update on P850 - 31L

    Hello

    I just updated a P850 - 31L for windows windows 8.1 8 by the windows store.

    Before the update, I was able to boot from a USB key by pressing F12 during the boot upward.

    After the update I was more able to boot from the USB drive. Select the USB key by changing the boot order in the setup of the BIOS via F2 or pressing F12 is no longer works.

    Booting from ODD also is no longer possible.

    The version of the BIOS is 6.70 and does not secure boot must be disabled. However the DVD and the USB I tried are signed Ubuntu 12.10, who worked before the upgrade. Fastboot in windows 8.1 is disabled.

    Then, this seems to be a bug in the BIOS Toshiba? Or a windows 8.1 update the BIOS or the boot EFI in a way partition replace the BIOS setting? Really stuck here, does not seem to be much information.

    Any ideas or help would be very appreciated!

    Thank you

    Michael

    Update: I just tried to boot from the DVD of windows recovery 8 Toshiba and this does more or the other.

    Post edited by: michael_toshiba_forum

    OK I fixed that.

    First of all, it is to note that it is possible to turn off secure in the 6.70 BIOS startup.
    However this option is only available when the password is not defined in the Security menu.

    After activation or deactivation of the password a reboot is necessary to make the secure boot toggle option is available or not.

    It's good that I guess I assume that it can prevent secure boot are disabled when the machine is running. However this does not seem to have been associated with this problem.

    I selected the option "reset to factory defaults" in the output menu.
    The machine is then able to boot from USB and DVD. The boot order was also respected.

    Perhaps upgrading windows 8.1 corrupt invisible somehow the BIOS settings. Or maybe it was just a stranage coincidence that the BIOS itself corrupted during the installation. Anyway this factory reset fixed.

  • Audio not working do not after Windows 8.1 update

    Hello

    A few days ago that I have updated Windows 8.1 evaluation to the full version 8.1 and since then my audio doesn't work. In Control Panel, "Digital Audio display (AMD high definition Audio Device)" is listed as disconnected. The audio icon on the taskbar is XE out and clicking on it works the finder error in vain. Speakers no longer appear in the list of devices well now that nothing works I don't know if they have ever or if the audio comes through display Digital Audio. Headphones do not present as playback device and the volume on the keyboard controls and the taskbar are not accessible. I've never used external speakers.

    Windows 8.1 update seemed to wipe all my software HP and AMD came with the laptop so I reinstalled the HP support center and looked for a driver updated and all that jive, but all also shows to date. I don't know what else to look for because most of the forums I've seen seem to speak of their output HDMI sound does not work when it is connected to a TV and I just try to have sound, period.

    Hi Chris,

    Try the following.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp59501-60000/sp59861.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  If you see a very similar entry for (or entry of IDT) IDT HD Audio , right click on the device and select uninstall - you should also get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.  If there is no input IDT, go just below.

    When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

    Kind regards
