Debugging
How do I turn on debug logging?
A: Just hold down the command key (⌘) on launch. It will be automatically turned off again on quit. Log entries can be found in Console or in ~/Library/Containers/net.wurst-wasser.Schick/Library/Logs/Schick.log.
Schick can't find the other Macs in the network! (Help! Mac A can "see" Mac B, but Mac B can't "see" Mac A)
Answer 1
Please check with Tildesofts Bonjour Browser! If it also doesn't show any peers, it's most likely your WiFi doesn't support multicasts the way it should. This happened to Heiko too...WiFi & Bonjour seems to be a bit of a problem. If you want to use Bonjour over WiFi, I'd recommend buying a good Access Point (Apple Airport, Cisco, Ubiquiti).
Answer 2
Please try again over Ethernet, and if that works out, make sure your WiFi supports Bonjour...
Answer 3
Switch to Ethernet. No, really. Your Bonjour-related problems (with Schick, Airprint, iTunes Sharing etc.) will be gone!
Answer 4
Try: ⌘R
* If you don't see all peers, try: ⌘⇧R
* If other peers don't see you, try: ⌘R
Answer 5
If you can't or don't want to switch to Ethernet, try adding your peers manually instead of using Bonjour. See Schick 4.0 Add By Address.
Answer 6
It might be caused by a haywired firewall setting. Just remove all incoming connection connections, stop your firewall, reboot, start your firewall.
- "Advanced..."
- Add (if missing) an entry for Schick:
- stop your firewall
- reboot
- start firewall
Somehow irrelevant questions
