Hey everyone,
I am new to macrumors and this is my first post. I actually decided to make this account because some weird problem popped on my computer. I am not sure if this is common and not sure if i ever had this problem before. I also am not sure how to resolve it.. so here it goes. The explanation may be vague because i don't have screenshots but i will upload them tomorrow(for some reason i don't know how to import screenshots cause it wouldn't work.
I was playing a game and then when i went off it i went back to finder and under "SHARED" in finder there suddenly came up an icon which looks like a computer with blue screen and its called "maps"(all under the "SHARED" in the finder" I tried opening the "MAPS" thingy and it says connection failed and then i pressed get info and it says
maps
General:
Kind: PC server
I then figured out that it probably has to do something with the internet cause when i re-logged to another user on the mac it was still there. I also tried switching my internet off and on and the icon under "SHARED" disappeared but then about 5 mins later came back up again. I then tried switching the internet off and on again but this time it didn't move. I also tried to relaunch FInder and nothing happened. I also tried to delete it and that didn't work either it said that its impossible to delete it.
When u press on the maps icon under "SHARED" it says connection failed and then also from the right of it shows an option connect as.
Whenever i press "Connect As..."
It instantly comes up with a message saying:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Connection failed
The server "maps" is available on your computer.
Access the volumes and files locally.
-----------------------------------------------------------
It's hard to explain but i don't know how to drag a screenshot that i made into here so pls reply and i will try import the screenshots tomorrow.
Thanks very much for your cooperation and help- LedZepLover333
