Can not see my home group of Surface

I saw the other messages from users Surface difficult to join a homegroup, what they can see from their Surface, but I can't even see my homegroup.  My Surface just says: ' there is no homegroup this network. "  I have two Windows 7 PCs and a laptop Windows 7, who are all members of the homegroup, so there's no doubt!  I tried to run the troubleshooting of the homegroup on the two PCs running the homegroup and the Surface, but have made no difference.

I managed to solve this problem.  I have no idea if this is typical, or which may have helped him.  It is a new Surface, try to join an established Win8 homegroup on a common wireless LAN working group.

The problem was double.

(1) back to your homegroup machine and VERIFY that in Control Panel, for private networks (assuming that yours is) this sharing is turned on indeed.  For some reason, mine had been extinguished.

(2) I found on my Surface the Microsoft Windows "Services" utility, had been decommissioned. Why? Who knows! But it was and I don't.  I'm thinking that convenience store Msft could have...  To conclude that 'Service', I was in the management of the computer and watched what was enabled and disabled under Microsoft.  I turned it on and BANG, I couldn't access machines shared via the network and residential groups.

NOTE! Homegroup may take a long time, and even a reboot before it seems to suddenly see "everything".  Maybe it's a slow indexer. I do not know.  But if you can see the homegroup files, but cannot access it, give him a day and a reboot before you throw in the towel.

Good luck.

  • I downloaded yesterday 4 services including target word Cup side bar, but can not see.

    I activate 4 services, Goal.com , Saavan sidebar and Pocket which I down loaded yesterday, but only can not see.

    You can update to Firefox 30? There's a new toolbar button in Firefox 30 to make it easier to show the sidebars. If you want to try, you can use either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > on Firefox
    • (menu bar) Menu help > about Firefox

    Firefox should check updates when you open this dialog box.

    Or, stick to 29 of Firefox, you can see the view menu. If you do not ordinarily classic menu in the top bar display, you can press the Alt key or press the F10 key to temporarily show. Try:

    View > sidebar

    and check the desired box it.

  • Import photos no problem can not see the photos on iPhone

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to El Capitan.  Since moving from iPhoto to Photos (even before I updated the operating system) when I plug my iPhone 5 to import pictures in the selected library I do not see the photos appear in the import window so that I can select for imports.  I literally had to email it to myself, and then import it into the e-mail.  I work with different libraries within pictures, so I excluded it only love the library system.  Same result, can not see the photos.  Also, I have unplugged and replugged in and tried the other USB port to rule out hardware, while the Photos could force them to see the device as new, and that does not work either.  I tried something another user who had to open Image Capture to see if she could see all the pictures on my phone and it doesn't work, I found (theory was that opening would make Photos recognize as well).  However the Image Capture wouldn't add a USB scanner so I think it's not worthy of trust.  Photos only setting I have enabled is the automatic update to iCloud.  Otherwise, I don't know what another parameter to seek that could block it.

    When the phone is connected USB the phone reboot - many have found this will clear this problem
