I tried this in OS 10.4.5 and it did not find any of these files......

The icon previews were turned off on 2 of the OS X macs, 1 of which is the Mac that does not see the icons. Turned them both on and it made no difference, did a restart also on the machine that shows the problem but that did not help either....

I know you can't rebuild the desktop in OS X but how do I fix a problem where some files that reside on Win2000 server show without icons? They only show without icons on 1 of 3 OS X's on my network. Small text files are listed as "Unix Executable Files" in the kind column. I would have rebuilt...

UPDATE in case anyone's reading this: I've added a 2nd G5 to this LAN and set up aliases to some OS 9.2.2 Macs. That machine is behaving the same, the aliases worked for 1/2 hour and now they point to different machines than they were created on. The first Mac is back to the same thing, I did...

Nope...all Macs have different names. I never had this problem in 9.2.2. It just surfaced with OS X. Have another G5 with OS X that works OK with aliases. Maybe time to reload OS.....

I'm running a new G5 with Tiger on a network with 30ish other Macs running OS 9.2.2 and a few Windows machines. I've gone thru the finder to log onto other Macs and then created aliases that I dragged back to a folder on my dock so I can log on to these Macs easily. However, most of the aliases...

In order for the OS X Tiger G5's to see the G4's/G3's, I had to flip the File Sharing control panel switch to "Enable file sharing clients to connect over TCP/IP". This changed the...

I use an OS 10.4.5 Smart folder to search the hard drives of the Macs and Win Server 2000 that I have on my ethernet LAN for files/folders that contain a specfic job number. This is how I collect the files needed for archives when a job is done. This has been working OK until recently when I...

I have a couple of OS X Macs online with a Win2000 server. The OS X Macs generate an error "You cannot copy the item "xxx" because the name is too long or includes characters that the disk cannot display" whenever I try to copy files with long names to the Win2000 server. This did not happen...

I've got Tiger running on a G5 and use FileMaker Pro to copy names of files from and then use the Finder to paste those names onto a graphic file (rename the file). This works as one would expect, for a while, then the finder will only paste the name onto a file icon if you use the mouse and the...
