• Local Mac malfunction file sharing

  I am using local file sharing in my house for a good 8 years. I have 2 older iMacs (white 2006, 2007 aluminum) and a new late 2015 5 k iMac that I bought a few days ago.

  For some reason any local file sharing has started to malfunction: I no 1 wifi access point and all computers are to connect to that, but in the sidebar of Finder, tab, sharing only the 2007 aluminum appears. Other computers cannot see other computers except 2007 one. 2007 iMac can see and connect them too. I checked the settings for sharing on all computers, but nothing has changed.

  I tried to manually enter the ip address into Finder go tab, 'Connect to server', but I always find myself with 'server not found '. There is nothing different between computers sharing preferences, but somehow only the 2007 one appears.

  Please help me, I use this feature a lot!

  Thank you.

  Hi pianistemre2,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple support and congratulations on your new iMac! I understand you wanting to continue using the sharing of files between your 3 iMac, but only one is considered by the computers on your network. I know it's a great way to share files between devices, so I'm happy to provide advice to solve this.

  Since you are able to see and connect to the 2007 iMac, it seems as if it were the only one who has fully implemented which files he will share, and with whom he will share the. Make sure that you have followed the steps below to configure which directories you want to share with other users on your network. Also, remember that users can access those files.

  How to share files with other users of Mac:

  1. Open sharing preferences if it is not already open (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing).
  2. Check the file sharing.
  3. To select a specific share folder, click Add at the bottom of the folders list, find the folder, select it, and then click Add.
     1. The Public folder of each user who has an account on your Mac is automatically shared. To prevent a shared folder, select it in the list of shared folders and click Remove.
  4. By default, any user put in place on your Mac in the preferences users and groups can connect to your Mac via network. A user with an administrator account can access your Mac together.
     1. To give only some users access to a folder, select the folder in the folders list, and then click Add at the bottom of the list of users. Then do one of the following:
        1. Select a user in users and groups, that includes all your Mac users.
        2. Select a user from the network or users groups network, which includes everyone on your network.
        3. Select a person in your contacts. Create a password for the person, then click on create an account.

  OS X El Capitan: share your files with other users of Mac

  These steps are specifically for OS X El Capitan, but should be similar for earlier versions of Mac OS X.

  Once you have added users to the network or the correct groups on all your computers, you will be able to access everything again.

  See you soon!

• Windows Server 2012 Standard File Sharing - access denied?

  So I have a simple Pentium Dual core server here, and I'm putting in place local file sharing. For some reason any however I can't write files on the disk, even when you sign in as administrator of any computer in the network.

  I've been Googling the problem for hours and I found something on the deactivation of the audit, I did in secpol.msc, but I tried to disable it, and it will not always grant access.

  Is something directly above my head, or is it a problem in the file sharing himself?

  Sorry if I'm not providing a lot of details here, but I'm really frustrated about that. If you need any further information I'll post fortunately.

  Thank you for your time for reading.

• How can I connect Windows XP to several networks, Wi - Fi for internet and the other for file sharing?

  On windows XP, I need to connect to two different networks. Free wifi for the internet and the other for file sharing.

  Different gateways, different static address, same subnet mask. But there is problem when operating simultaneously and must

  a network must be disabled. Is it possible to run simultaneously?

  original title: served various networks simultaneously on windows xp

  Go to where you have configured the static IP addresses for your network adapters.  Leave the "default gateway" blank for your local file sharing adapter and insert a valid default gateway for your wifi Internet adapter.  Of course, this will limit your adapter in a single subnet - which should be OK for use at home or small office to share local files.

  This should work as long as the two physical subnets have two different subnet numbers. In general, this means that the first three digits of the IP address of the adapter can not be the same on both adapters - if they are, then you need to make one of the subnets. (i.e. one is 192.168.1.xxx and the other would be 192.168.2.xxx).  This is usually accomplished in the router configuration page.

• Is there a way to make firefox to open hypertext links to local files?

  My company has a system of custom Office and of course its developed for IE, but none of the engineers like IE. We all use and wish to continue using Firefox. The sections in the ticket system a a place for links to local files on a shared drive. I created the link and point to a word document. This hyperlink works fine in IE but it does nothing when you click in Firefox.

  Of course the dev team gives me the line of old age '.NET play well with Firefox... developed for IE... blah blah use IE.»

  Probably link to a local file as excel or word or even a directory is a simple idea and needs to be done somehow with FireFox right? Can someone help with that and give a suggestion how to make this work?

  For example:

  I'm trying to share with a hyperlink as:

  Looking for suggestions on how to make this work. Thank you very much!!

  I think there are two aspects to this:

  (1) URL format

  If you access this file using the dialog box of the browser open the file (Ctrl + O), you can get the format of practical link for it. For example, the separators will be oblique instead of backslashes.

  (2) local file security

  Firefox limits access to pages on web servers, to pages on the local drive or UNC paths. This article has more information: links to local pages don't work - MozillaZine Knowledge Base. This extension provide a workaround: LocalLink (I have not tried myself).

• file sharing strange behavior

  Hello

  Im having a macmini with 10.11.4 / Server 5.1 running.

  In principle, all right. The exception file sharing is strange.

  In the Finder on my MacBook (also 10.11.4) I can see the macmini in the sharing section.

  Once I click on the macmini, told me of connectivity failure. If I click on "connect as" he says as the connection has failed.

  If I use the menu 'connect to server': afp://macmini or smb://macmini I get a selection box for shared folders and I can get the files.

  Any idea?

  On the MacMini, the console displays the following to the failure of the attempt:

  Check your DNS configuration.   'macmini' is not a field specification that I expect to receive the OS x DNS server.  I expect to get something closer to macmini.example.com than, with "example.com" substituted here for whatever the field, have registered and use on your network.   If DNS is misconfigured, the rest of the battery tends to be unstable.

• Slow connection to SMB/AFP file sharing

  Configuration:

  OSX 10.11.3 (15 D 21)

  Server V5.0.4

  Running services: calendar, file sharing, Manager profiles, Time Machine, VPN, Web, Wiki, DNS, FTP sites, open the directory

  We have a problem which has lasted for several months where clients that attempt to connect to file sharing (AFP or SMB makes no difference) takes too long to authenticate. He constantly takes ~ 40-45 seconds to open a session or even reject a bad password. The really strange part is that it affects all computers on our network with the exception of a Mac Mini. Seems not be customer specific, i.e. all users connect without delay on a Mac Mini and slowly on other computers. I was not able to determine differences in settings of network connection or on different computers, but I don't know there are parameters, I'm not aware of that.

  Did someone met with something like that?

  Thanks in advance.

  The faster connection Mac Mini there the active local folders?  Or using a faster SMB protocol?

• username does not file sharing

  Trying to file on network share local wifi between MBA and iMac. Both on Yosemite.

  MBA sees the iMac on network:

  

  I click on "Connect under...". "and enter the name of the main account and the password (note: this combination works great on iMac when connecting at startup and for other operations).

  

  However, this same combination usr/pwd is rejected for sharing.

  Password sharing is somewhat different to the local password on iMac?

  Any ideas?

  OSX 10.11.1 (B 15, 42)

  Hey SaltSeaShark,

  It seems that if you try to connect to your iMac for file sharing on your local network and trying to connect using the user account name and password for this iMac, but it does not allow you to connect. Is this fair?

  One thing to check here would be to see if the iMac is configured for file sharing, because it is not enabled by default. Follow the steps in this article - OS X El Capitan: share your files with other users of Mac

  Note that you can set up file sharing for all users of the iMac or select specific users. Do not forget that you have configured the correct or users to share.

  Also, in System Preferences > Panel sharing > file sharing select the Options button. In the next window, you should at least have selected share files and folders using AFP . (Windows users would normally connect via SMB).

  How to connect with the file sharing on your Mac.

  Advanced options

  If you want to restrict the protocols can be used to connect to your computer using file sharing, click the Advanced Options in the sharing pane. You can then select the protocols are used by your Mac. By default, OS X Mavericks and later automatically enable SMB and AFP for compatibility with Windows, Mac using the Mavericks and Yosemite and Macs computers with older versions of Mac OS X.

  

  After ensuring it is properly configured, use the steps in this article to connect to shared iMac - volume OS X El Capitan: connect to shared computers and servers for files on a network

• Where did go to file sharing

  With the last 10.11.2, update I can't connect to my other computers in the same net. Next to the connection with fire wire and affecting one of them hard disc mode, is there not another solution?

  Hi guidobur,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple! I'm sorry to hear that you experience these symptoms after a recent update. I'm a bit ambiguous about exactly what you are seeing or describe, but if you experience problems with file sharing between your local computers in El Capitan, you can find information and troubleshooting procedures described in the following articles useful:

• Remote Desktop connection and file sharing

  Hello, I have a technical question about file sharing.

  I use a remote desktop connection to connect to the server of the company.  We are currently between the two groups of IT services (last guy retired, he will be missed!) In any case, I need to backup my desktop files locally and have 4 or 5 of these local desktop file files saved as a backup on the server.   I want to just my files desktop back mount easily on the server. And I don't know how / what to ask to do this. I just need to know what to ask.

  I'm having problems:

  1. I don't know how to configure a file to save its content on and through a secure server.

  2. There are two types of files that I am trying to backup my office.  The details are below.

  2. the first type of files are simple files of customer data, PDF files, word files, files is excellent. Thus, some records are filled with the updated forms and these files constantly increasing in number and size of the file.  A simple example of this type would be a Bill.  File grows in size and file number every week because the new files are always being added.

  2B. I can't accurately describe the second type of file.  We use a program called TFP - when you open the program you load the specific customer file in a drop-down box.  Whenever you open the customer specific AMTS program saves any changes you made to this file and updates the customer file with a new date and then transfers the file from the client to a file from archive in C: drive. Basically, I want to save this file on the server of the company.

  3. can we make us safe so that data gets only shared a way?  I don't want people on the server to change my desktop files.

  Feel free to ask any questions.   Thank you in advance.

• File sharing problem

  I have four computers in small office. Three see each other, the fourth XP invisable on a Windows network. They all have the same name of "workgroup". and file sharing enabled. I can ping other but cannot get windows network to see?   Number four computer is configured to share files, I ran the wizard several times to double check that the names are the same.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  James

  You left out the part where you tell us what version of Windows is located on each computer. This is important.

  What follows is quite old, but still excellent, former MS MVP Malke boards:

  Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista: set up Windows for the connection automatically (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• How to password protect my files shared on my network?

  I am trying to share a folder on the network and the have password protected. I use Windows XP Service Pack 3 Professional. I have disabled in simple file sharing files Options. All my computers are in the same workgroup. For the record I would like to share, I have the following settings:

  On the sharing tab, I 'Share this folder', filled in the maximum limit and the share user name. The "Permissions" button, I deleted "Everyone" and put in a username I've created specifically for the sharing folder connection and he gave total control. Everything is left to him by default.

  For the Security tab, I just like default except added the user account, I created and that you have authorized for total control.

  When I look at from any computer on the network, I can see the computer and shared folders in the working group. There is a default folder "SharedDocs" I open it. But if I try to enter the folder that I created, I get the following error:

  "You are not allowed to access \\MYCOMP\SharedFolder. Contact your network administrator to request access.

  If I do all what I said above, but instead of adding the user account, I put "Guest" or "everyone, then the file can be found on my other computers without the error but no password is invited. What should I do so that when I try to enter the folder, it ask for a login and a password.

  As a side note, my other computers do not have this problem with their shared folders. When I click on the computer under 'View workgroup computers '. Rather than open a list of shared folders, it opens a prompt for a login and a password, and if they are correct, it will show that all shared folders and files shared to that user. If the password of the specific folders is not possible, should what settings I change so that it works like this instead?

  My apologies if this should have been in the files, records and research topic.

  When you connect to a network share, authentication proceeds roughly in this order:

  1. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name that exists on the machine sharing the passwords match, while the user is authenticated as himself without another guest.
  2. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name that exists on the machine of sharing and the passwords do not match, then this as seen user denied access to the computer sharing without prompting.
  3. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name does not exist on the machine of sharing, an attempt is made to authenticate the user "guest".  If successful, that the user connection looks like it is 'guest' on the machine of sharing user.
  4. If the remote user is unable to authenticate as a 'guest' on the sharing machine, then a name of user and password screen appears to provide authentication.

  It seems to me to make it work as you want, you want to make sure that step 3 above does not occur.  This can be accomplished by disabling the "Guest" on the machine sharing account. (This forces everyone to authenticate on the machine)  Two ways to do as an administrator on the machine of sharing:
  (A) bring up a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
  NET user guest / active: No.
  (B) right click on 'My Computer'-> manage-> system tools-> local users and groups-> users
  Double-click "Invited" in the right window-> Put a check in the box "account is disabled".  "OK" your way out.

• Windows XP file sharing failures

  I work for a financial company and we use our non-stop server.  Our server is just a XP computer a sharing folder.  Since yesterday, the server does not leave ANY computer access.  All sharing and security settings are defined very well, as they always were.  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I doubt that anyone can have a clear idea without being particularly familiar with your system/network.

  It can be one or more of the many configurations/parameters that went 'haywire '.

  Redo the sharing.

  --------------------

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .
