Unauthorized 'shared' PC or Mac

On my new Mac mini and 2014 Macbook air (latest OS) under the list of devices in the Finder window, is an unauthorized icon of the shared computer.  All sharing preferences are set to not share outside the network.  What is going on? What else can I do to prevent unauthorized access?

It is not shared, it is available to share

  • Home of the iTunes sharing works on Mac, not on iOS

    Hello

    I'm trying to use home sharing to play music from the iTunes library on my Mac on my iOS devices, but it does not work. The devices that I use are a Mac Mini Sierra, who has my iTunes library, a 5 c with iOS 10.0.2, iPhone an iPad 2 running iOS 9.3.5 and a MacBook Pro 2011 Sierra running. I have iTunes running on the Mac Mini, with home sharing enabled. The MacBook Pro, I can see and play the shared library. I am connected to the same on all devices iCloud account, and I am connected to home sharing within the parameters of the music on the two devices with the same account. All devices are connected to the same WIFI network to a router TP-Link Archer C7. On the iPhone with iOS 10, home sharing must be one of my options when you click the library, but it is not. On the iPad with iOS 9.3.5, home sharing should appear in the dropdown at the top of the screen my music, but it does not appear. I tried to turn home sharing and turn it back on to the host computer, turning home sharing and turn it back on client devices, restart the host computer and restart client iOS devices. In addition, I tried this on a 4th generation iPod Touch (does not work) and MacBook Air my wife (works). Why is it not this work for my iOS devices?

    I thought about it. In addition to activating iTunes home sharing preferences on the host computer, you must also go to file > home sharing > turn on home sharing and enter your iTunes account information. I doesn't make sense to me that you would have to enable home sharing on two different places to do work with different types of devices, and there is no explanation for this data in the documentation I've seen.

  • iTunes library on NAS shared with every Mac.

    Okey, so I saw a lot of info on iTunes on a NAS share and I have read tons and tons of messages without a complete solution.

    So that's what I have today;

    1 Macbook Pro 15 "

    2 Macbook Pro 13 "

    1 mini Mac (connected to my Samsung TV and the stereo downstairs)

    1 NAS Synology 216 readers to play with 2x3GB

    Remote-app on my iOS devices so that I can change the music on the stereo without a computer

    Everything is connected to the same WiFi of course

    I want to spend my whole library iTunes into ONE on the NAS and then I want to

    (1) in order to access all the music on all computers

    2 (a) be able to add more music

    (b) sometimes I need to change the title of a song/album details may change the genre or add words etc.

    iTunes on the NAS server is to create.

    I compiled all the music in a library on the Macbook pro 15 "and used the following settings in iTunes under Advanced

    -Keep iTunes Media folder organized

    -Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library

    -Sharing iTUnes library XML with other applications

    Also changed genres and all about the songs/albums to make everything as I want

    Moved the folder iTunes with everything on the NAS in music/iTunes

    And hold the ALT key when starting iTunes and then I choose the music/iTunes and then it took a few minutes and asked if he should copy all files

    so I said yes here.

    Now, it seems that I can share all the music on the NAS, but I can't

    1) click a song and change its genres, etc album name when I add the new music

    QUESTIONS

    So is it possible that I missed something, so why can't I just edit?

    Should I hold the ALT key and the library directly in NAS server folder and let them copy all files on the Mac Mini and the 2 13 "Macbook Pro is as well?

    Anyone who has this problem?

  • Why can not upload pictures to a photo album shared for me mac?

    I have created a shared album and invited the family members to it.  My cousin has added a few photos to him as well.

    I just went to record his photos on my iMac, but cannot me these menu options.

    I raised my support, but it has all the options except the new PHOTOS app for mac?  What can I do?

    Videos and pictures of the iCan be recorded or downloaded from a shared album?

    Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can see the shared album can download and keep them permanently. Videos can be downloaded to a Mac or a PC. On a device iOS, videos sent from iCloud and cannot be downloaded.

    • On a compatible iOS device, you can save pictures in your film or Photos tab.
    • In iPhoto or Aperture for Mac, you can add or copy shared photos or videos in your library.

    • On the web, you can upload photos and videos directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo or video.

    Do you see an option to import if you ctrl-click on a photo.

  • the hearing session sharing - PC to mac?

    Hello

    I just bought a new MacBook pro and I would like to share a session of filtration for the new mac

    is this possible?

    Best regards

    Martin

    The session file is compatible between the systems.  When some people have a problem is when their audio files on a shared network location, stored paths are represented differently on each platform.  The best way to solve this problem would be to choose file > export > Session on the PC and choose to make copies of all audio files.  This will create a directory with local copies of files that can be copied on the Mac.  If you want to use these network sources, you get an error when you open the file SESX on Mac and have the possibility of linking the clips of new files.  Browse to the network share and select the first file and the rest, if in the same directory, should be found automatically.

    Another potential conflict would be not specific to the platform of plugins you may have.  Hearing on PC supports VST as long as the support of Mac VST and Audio Units.

  • Strategy for sharing media between Mac and Windows Premiere Pro

    I hope that I write in the right forum, it's here or in the hardware forum.

    I'll take the plunge and get a pretty high-end PC to increase my aging Mac Pro for Premiere Pro CS 5.5 (and probably 6 CS as soon as the kinks are developed). Right now my online media resides on several trendy readers fast eSATA RAID 5, on my Mac Pro through some eSATA PCI cards. It works well and I have pretty good bandwidth of 200MBS to 250MBS using this method, I think enough speed for the type of media that I use in my changes, a combination of XDCAM EX, AVCHD, H.264 Canon with maybe 4-5 rivers both in Multicam edits.

    Adding from my PC to the combination will complicate things. I want to be able to access the media on my eSATA drives, which are currently formatted for Mac, using filesystem HFS +. I heard that the Mac drive can make Windows well read this file system.

    The issue is sharing this media on drives fast enough for both systems be able to modify / access simultaneously. I do not have Gigabit ethernet, but I don't think it would be pretty quickly, I think that practically it tops on about 70 MB/second. I probably need more speed.

    Also the Mac can share than the SMB protocol, but does not seem to the current Mac OS 10.7 sharing SMB very well but I test it with Windows. I know for my various boxes of media player, it does not work very well, or at any time to access my Mac 10.7 system via SMB. In addition, SMB seems to be a very slow network protocol. I can share via AFP or NFS, and I think that NFS is the speed you need, do not know if Windows out of the box can cope with this Protocol.

    I know there is such a thing as "fiber channel" and other mainly tech to create a fast network, the Mac can also network via Firewire, but I don't think it will be enough or fast. I guess I could see if it was faster than Gigabit ethernet protocol using Cat 6 or what is the last type of ethernet cable. I am doing a shortcut here and see if the large number of people did and what they think works best.

    Thanks for all the tips here.

    Kind regards

    -Keith

    I guess there are a lot of variables, but change us on a network using the SMB and Gigabit Ethernet and working with fairly similar media (XDCAM HD 422, XDCAM EX, AVCHD or H264) and it works fine. We have two servers sharing between 3 and 4 editing suites. I think that if you are just sharing between two machines, it should be sufficient.

  • Photos shared from my Mac.

    I have a MacBook on which I store all my photos (from my camera and iPhone) using 'Photos' from Apple. Me and my parents began using the family share, which has worked very well so far. I discovered that the photos of my Mac (that I never sent by email or whatsapp or whatever it is) appear on a different iPhone family members. We did not activate iCloud Stream or anything which would suggest that the photos of my Mac eventually someone else phone. Also, I checked all my settings and could not find what was going on.

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thank you.

    They have probably subscribed to your family shares on their phone or they use MyPhotoStream or iCloud photo library on their Mac and phone

  • sharing applications between mac and ipad pro

    When I double click on my iPad Pro, I saw a grey bar at the bottom which had Safari - of "of Howard Brazee computer.   When I opened it, Safari came with a web page, that I looked earlier today on Chrome.    I went to my Mac and saw that a Chrome icon left of the Doc, in the image of an iPad on it.  My cursor on it, I see that it says "Google Chrome - for iPad".

    I closed the app on my iPad Pro and started Safari on my Mac.  Then I repeated the double click and selected the iPad Pro.   It opened Safari with the previous tab and with this tab here (I'm in Chrome).    I tried to open some other applications forward on my Mac.   If it comes to mail, my iPad is going to open a mail but not find anything (I don't get mail on my iDevices).   I tried Photos and TextEdit and iBooks, but they did not speak with each other (and Safari appear on my iPad gray bar until I moved the focus to Chrome).   So I googled to find out how it works without success.   Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains what is happening here?

  • Sharing folders between only trust Mac over a network, not everyone

    I can't find an exact answer to it any where online so I hope that someone here will have an answer.

    I'm in an office shared with other Mac and PC on the same network, all I want to do is allow one or two Mac trust access to certain folders on the first machine and vice versa, but does not any unwanted access machines.

    These records will be available often sometimes sharing large files so airdrop or the public folder is not an option. Rather than spending a lot on a NAS drive dedicated for example I just want to be able to share some folders with a password only once in their Keychain, that they can just access as and when they require.

    I would have thought that it is relatively simple, but for the life of me can't work how? Anyone know if this is possible? have I lost it?

  • Files saved to merge "Shared folder ' between host Mac OS and virtual Mac OS not opening not.»

    Hello

    If I save a file in the folder "Shared" my host Mac OS machine merging, I can open it only on my host machine, but not inside my virtual machine to Mac OS.  In addition, it shows the incorrect file type in the virtual machine (just 'Document') not the actual file type.

    The reverse is also true, if I record a 'Shared' file of Fusion of in my virtual machine, I can open it only on my virtual machine, but not inside the host machine.  Again, it shows the incorrect file type in the real (just "Document") not the file type host machine.

    The files must be for the most part very well, because they will open in their own environment of the shared folder, but the Mac OS in the Middle against a reason any won't open them.  Suggestions?

    Thank you

  • When you run Fusion on a Mac, where a shared folder appears if the virtual operating system is another version of Mac OS?

    I have a Mac under VMWare Fusion with "Snow Leopard Server" running as a virtual OS, invited.  The instructions say I can specify a shared folder to shared between the Mac OS and Mac OS virtual.

    I've specified a folder, however, this folder is not matter where displayed on the virtual server. Maybe I have no idea where it should appear, then maybe that I'm in the right place.

    Anyone know where I can find the shared folder in a version of the Mac OS running virtually in VMWare Fusion?

    (There are instructions on where to find a shared folder for Windows and Linux, but none for where it should appear for a virtual machine running under Mac OS). Thanks for your suggestions, you can offer!

    Using VMware shared folders requires VMware Tools installed in the guest operating system, you have installed VMware Tools?

    If so make sure that you have enabled in the settings of the Virtual Machine to the shared folders and have added a shared folder.

    If this has been done should be a customer alias for shared folders of VMware desktop operating systems.

    If there no client VMware Shared Folders alias on desktop operating systems then in a Terminal doesn't issue the following command to make sure the system and user VMware Tools Daemon to run.

    PS to the | grep vmware

    The output should display information for two instances of vmware-tools-daemon.

    kextstat | grep vmware

    The output should list several extensions however is that associated with the VMware shared folders: com.vmware.kext.vmhgfs

    Also search /Volumes VMware Shared Folders as is the mounting point on OS X for VMware shared folders.

    Post edited by: WoodyZ - additional command to check the extension of the core related to VMware shared folders.
