Shortcut to shared folder used for years, suddenly will not work.

So far, I was able to send files to the shared folder on the desktop or laptop computer and access them from computers. (Both running Windows 7). The only "change" to the system recently is the August security updates. Now I can send to the shared folder on the desktop but cannot access it from the laptop. I hope some good Samaritan can help me fix this frustrating problem. Here is what I get when I try to open the link on your mobile:

Problem with shortcut
The drive or network connection that refers to the "Shared Folder - Shortcut.lnk" shortcut is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again.

\\Desktop is not available. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

Logon failure: the user has not granted the type of logon required on this computer.

This is the path in the shortcut of the laptop:

\\Desktop\Users\Jim File Dale\Desktop\Shared

You can try to temporarily disable the antivirus and check if the same phenomenon occurs with shared folders.

Disable the anti-virus software

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

If disabling antivirus works you will need to give exceptions.

See the link below.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/file-sharing-essentials

Create a new folder on the computer and check. You can use advanced sharing option to check if it helps to solve this problem:

1. go to the folder you want to share

2 right click on the folder, and then select Properties.

3. go to the tab shares and click on the button "Advanced sharing...". ».

4. check the option "Share this folder", and then select permissions.

5. by default, there will be the "everyone" group

6. If you would like everyone to change your files then click full control for everyone.

7. click on OK.

8. Finally, click OK, and then try opening and editing of files from another computer.

Hope this information is useful.

  • Instant Messaging for blackBerry Smartphones will not work on wifi

    I got my camera a few months ago. I always have my iphone, it wasn't until last week when I was reminded of I have a blackberry and started using it. Unfortunately, I always have a hard time linking my IM using wifi. This will never work! For example, whenever I try to log-in using my yahoo Messenger, I always get an error message indicating that "Service not allows for this pocket. I think maybe since it is a preinstalled application I should be able to use my IMs (esp. yahoo and google) using the wifi as when you use your iphone or android devices. So is there a problem on my phone because I can't use my IMs using wifi? Also I'm using curve BB 9220. Thank you!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    BlackBerry <> iPhone or Android

    BlackBerry devices have owners that require subscription to a package of data from your provider, even if you use these services via WiFi. I don't remember if the specific services you mention fall into this category or not, but you need to ring to the top of your service provider and tell them about the exact services that you want to use and then make sure that you subscribe to a package of adequate data from them to enable these services.

    Good luck!

  • ICloud Photos, Shared folder using for the screensavers on Apple TV

    On my new Apple TV, I want to use Photos in iCloud to provide pictures randomly a shared folder as screensavers. When I put in place (following the instructions of the manual) the program apparently caught a selection random, relatively small images of the record (20-30?) and just cycled through these photos as screensavers. The product does not seem to choose from all of the shared folder and does not seem to offer a way to even go back and get another small selection of the folder to provide variety. I can apparently use home sharing and get the new selections in the period and re - select the folder (I could do with my old generation of Apple TV), but it is not apparently possible with the iCloud Photos, shared folder option. It also takes me to have my computer and open iTunes. I had hoped to get around this with the new Apple TV.

    Apple support had no answers.

    Is there something that I am missing?

    Need not do anything. You can suggest improvements here https://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html.

  • An https site, I've used for years suddenly is therefore more accessible "because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified."

    It works on Furefox on Windows7 Pro and Internet Explorer but not on Windows 7 Home Edition and not on my Android phone. Any ideas how to get around this?

    In another thread, you indicated that the site is https://teradatanet.teradata.com/

    This site uses TLS 1.0, an older version of the standard SSL that Firefox 37 deals is also safer. It is a change of 36 of Firefox.

    You can make a specific exception to the site for the server for Firefox problem allows TLS 1.0 - it's for Windows, I have not tested on Android:

    Here's how:

    (1) copy the hostname of the server address. It is the part between the https:// Protocol and the next / character and not including one of the people. In this case: teradatanet.teradata. com

    (2) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (3) in the search above the list box, type or paste tls and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (4) double click on the preference security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts to display a box where you can paste the copied hostname. If you have something here already, add a comma at the end before sticking to separate the new host name the previous names. Then click OK to save the change.

    When you reload this site, Firefox 37 now redirects to a second server (note extra 0 in the host name):

    https://teradatanet0.teradata. com/Site0083/oam/UI/Login? GoTo https://teradatanet.teradata. = com/c/Portal/login

    Then repeat steps 1 and 4 with additional host name (in step 4, add the second host name after a comma, do not delete the first).

    Now when you reload, it should work as Firefox 36. Instead of a grey padlock, you should see the gray triangle exclamation warning icon, which indicates a problem with the connection. In this case, the problem is that the server uses an algorithm of RC4 encryption, including 36 of Firefox and most consider as non-secure/hackable.

  • Drop-down boxes as those used for the dates do not work and try to work for a while. What is going on?

    Drop-down boxes have not worked for the last few revisions of
    Firefox. I tried to eliminate all add ons etc. little nothing is done. For this
    not appear as it should be a big problem to solve, since these
    objects used to work properly in the past. I love otherwise Firefox
    and do not want to use a different browser. The drop-down list below does not either, but maybe it's the lack of content.

    Yes, I disabled everything. Even changed themes of Windows 7, but not luck.

    After sending this reply, it dawned on me that actual window guard can be
    the problem. When I excluded the window Firefox actual window guard
    control the drop-down boxes worked. Wish I thought of it earlier. Thanks to all those who have made suggestions and tried to help him. I really appreciate your time and efforts.

  • cool used 250 now 280 will not work

    I referb 280 v1 (01.02.24A) update of the firmware of this am.  The drivers are all to date.

    Used 250r & 260.  Tried to load their but nothing good happened.

    Now my 280 does not sync (even though it shows over... begins at 09:32 and finishes at 09:32).  I deleted the songs/playlists of 280 without problem.  New songs to be transferred are not transferred but deleted songs remain deleted.   I carry about 500 songs at any time and change some every day.

    I have the media player 11.  It is simple to use.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled several times media converter to nothing does not.

    Could you please help me?  I use my 280 daily.

    Wanted to let you know that I finally did.  I tried and I tried to use the MTP driver problem persists.  Since I don't use a subscription service, I went to MCS... backed up all my music... formatted the drive. Can I synchronize now, although it will not sync my music folders (just each individual song).  Will research to understand what to do differently. Still don't understand why I would have this problem after 8 months of navigation.  Sure it's generated microsoft but, Hey, I made the decision not to Mac - it.

    Thanks for all the tips, Bob.  I have, on the one hand, don't know what I'd do without you and people like you to help me, a disputed technology oldster.

    My thanks.

  • My s/n for PC for Mac upgrade will not work to install new for CS6 on Mac

    I bought CS5 in 2011 for PC, then passed to the CS6 for Mac (HUGE hassle) in 2012.  Try to install on my new computer, and I can't select CS6 in the list.  The serial number for CS5 do not work (probably because they were for a PC OS), and the s/n for CS6, says upgrade s/n is valid, but will not let me choose CS6 in the list.   This discussion thing is a chore!  I've been 'chat' this for 2 days with no luck.  Is there someone I can phone?  Help!Screen Shot 2013-11-28 at 12.30.22 PM.png

  • Keyboard does not. Able to use for the connection does not work after that.

    The keyboard works to connect. But does not work after that.

    Hello Sml15,

    The embedded screen keyboard should still work even if the physical keyboard isn't.

    Try this first...

    Press and hold the Windows key and the space bar.

    If no joy, go to the search bar and with the built-in keyboard, type the filter keys and choose key filter on or off.

    In the window of the ease of access to the keyboard, disable FilterKeys.

    If all goes well, which will fix the problem.

    Let me know how it turns out.

  • Changed the time on pc and suddenly will not work Skype?

    Hi I just got this phone today and have already run into large sum of problems. I misclicked by set up of windows 8 and taken the wrong time zone, forget I did what I leave the laptop itself implemented, I didn't know it until I had already installed and was on Skype. I thought nothing of it, changed the clock to the correct time and now all of a sudden every time I send a message on Skype it just sends me upward into the conversation. I'm not all messages and I don't see any of the envoys of the mine. I uninstalled Skype 3 times and still can not solve it? I got Skype running on my desktop and thought maybe that was it but atlast, no. I am only signed on this laptop and can't use Skype. I even downloaded an older version it and still no luck.

    I run a malware scan as I tpye this, but I don't think it'll be very successful. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

    In fact, I just thought to it. So I got to do some time apparently traveling thanks to me by clicking on the wrong time, I was 3 hrs behind, always in August 3. When I changed the time zone, he just changed the time and NOT the date. So, I was in the good times but the wrong date. Skype has been send all my messages and everything everyone elses to August 3 instead of 4 August 03:00 03:00. I feel like a complete fool for overlooking it, but I just thought that it would change the date with time.

    If you are a machine 64-bit by default IE 8 or 9 should be the 32-bit version.  This is the version that runs on 64-bit computers by default.  If you use this version, then the problems would disappear.

  • LR 6 - the search for virtual Copies will not work

    I exported a few photos to a customer including some virtual copies where I converted to black and white.

    But when the customer sends the pictures, I have a text string which has the names of files and the virtual copy file name, IE. Flower-0001-2

    However I insert this string into the search field, but the virtual copies do not appear.

    I could export the virtual copies and add them back in the catalog, but is there another way to get the search to pick up these filenames on the first shot?

    Yes it works for me now except if there is an easier way. Thought I'd share how I did it.

    (1) I export, add to the catalogue and in another file and download all the photos on my wordpress site.

    (2) customer selects the Favorites and I get an email that contains a text string (this text string includes all the masters and vc file names)

    (3), I then take this text string copy and paste into the search field on this new folder, I created on export.

    (4) all customer photos they have selected appear. Fact.
