Unable to Enable "File Sharing"
Mac Geniuses,
I am in this strange situation where I can't enable "File Sharing" on my macbook pro,
either by selecting the SystemPreferences > Sharing > File Sharing
or using the terminal commands
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/AppleFileServer.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./AppleFileServer
When I click on File Sharing checkbox, it just doesn't click no matter what. Even with FireWall turned off
Any idea whats going on? All I want to do is to make some folders available to my iMac from this MBP...
Thanks for the help!
Reddy

Command -K >choose Browse>choose the computer you want to connect to>enter name and password.
Don't connect as a guest but rather as admin using the appropriate user and password for the machine.
U R In.
Try that.
The only reasons I can think of why you can't connect using share is that afp (apple file sharing protocol) hasn't for some reason started up.
You may also need to correct permissions using Disc Utility, found in Apps>Utilities. Choose your drive, typically some long alpha numeric at the top of the list and repair disc privileges and permissions.
