Shared network connection failed mac

I am having the same problem. I am able to connect to the internet through my airport using WIFI but I cannot access my Time Capsule at all, hence no access to any files on the Time Capsule and no back-up has been made with Time Machine since this problem started. I am still getting the error message. Goto… System Preferences…Accounts…. I had quite a few items in the list including an old network drive that I no longer use, when I restarted my iMac the error message no longer appeared.

What can I do to fix? I am not upgrading my laptop to Lion until this fix is satisfied.

What have I not done or done wrong. I had the same problem! I have a TM 1 tb and a WD usb drive connected to it. Now it works great. Try it! This worked for me. I viewed the contents of that file before I renamed it and there was for sure nothing related to the server I was connected to — dropbox, vmware, choosy, and one other item — but renaming it did the trick for my other computer!

I figured it out with the detail here: My error was being unable to connect to my Time Capsule. Marking it with Hide did not fix the problem.

Why does it say "Connection Failed" when I click the server in the Sidebar?

I deleted the entry and now my system boots without the error. Always a good thing that. I OK the message and everything boots and connects as it should, including the Time Machine. Maybe then can help me. I had this problem too. I found out after many weeks of agonizing search and after talking to a Apple helper that my ip address had changed on my HP pc computer. On Vista,click start and open up the smart search in bottom left hand corner of the screen, type in….

Write it down and when you try to connect to your server in the Mac, make sure that your ip address is the same! Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email. Leave this field empty. Why do MACs exist? You really felt the need to post this?

The first command you gave would not have worked since the argument of the rm was a directory. Curious as to why you thought of this in the first place. Hashiri A little knowledge is a dangerous thing: The fix involves deleting it and recreating one. Did you try? Did it solve your problem? If not, try to impress elsewhere with your partial understanding of bash. I somehow forgot the sudo. I tried your exact commands and the link was indeed recreated, but I still can't connect.

Which File Sharing Protocol are you using? Can you see the target computer in the finder sidebar?

*File sharing connection failed | MacRumors Forums

Can both computers access Internet? What are the netBIOS names of each? What workgroup are they attached to? What versions of Leopard are you using on each? These are not fixed to each machine - when we have power failures, it depends on the order in which the machines are rebooted The imac shows the macbook in the sidebar but can't connect at all and shows no volumes associated with the macbook icon there i've never seen that until this whole issue cropped up The macbook now shows the imac in the sidebar and it actually has several volumes including my user on the imac.

Music, Pictures, Documents, etc. The folders that I have added myself are browsable and readable. Neither machine has a netBios or workgroup assignment - I am not running Samba. As I mentioned above: Okay, one last thing: Not sure if that is significant. There I go again I meant annoying red minus sign, of course. Sounds like everything is up and running. To change this: I find this so annoying, I just have a network drop box that I push and pull from.

Hope this helps, Cheers, Potenuse. Right - I had done some such manipulation on the boot volume - Macintosh HD, but didn't realize it was required all the way down the hierarchy. Actually, I was going to try that, but didn't get around to it. Of course, I still have the non-connection problem going the other way, but hopefully I'll be able to poke around and fix that. Just checked and there is a way to do it quicker: At the bottom below sharing and permissions is a cog like symbol. If you click on it and then "Apply to enclosed items" after having set up the permissions the way you want, it cascades the permissions all the way down.



I did this on my user folder and hey presto - full access. Cheers, Potenuse.
