I have file sharing turned on on my iMac and I want to now share access to my newly formatted MBP. The MBP previously had networking access to the iMac, though I just wiped it and when I reinstalled the OS I also renamed the MBP.

On my MBP, when I try to connect over the Network, it does not recognize my MBP as a Registered User, though on my iMac when I try to add a new user it opens my Address Book and only gives me access to users in the Address Book and my new MBP is not in my Address Book.

When I try to log in using my Apple ID I click connect and it does not let me in, it just shakes and does not tell me why it did not work. I am currently logged into iCloud with my Apple ID on this MBP.

Thanks for any suggestions/help
