Can't open folders on a network
This seems to be a new problem, only appearing since I have moved from my G5 (10.4.11) to a new iMac (10.6.8).
When I access another Mac via Airport (using Safari and typing in an address such as afp://192.168.1.3), I can access the other Mac by typing in the password, its disk will appear on my Desktop, but a small red dash ➖ appears in User folders such as Desktop, and if I try to open the folder it says I don't have permission.
How do I get around this? I should ahve permission for everything because all the Macs involved are mine.
Another thing: I know Macs are smart, but how on earth did it know to put a red dash ➖ in this post, when all I did was type in a dash surrounded by brackets?
