Cannot see my G5 server after upgrading to Mountain Lion.  Help!

Hi everyone!
I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my MBP and now my G5 Power PC that I have as a Media Server with all my iTunes movies and music is no longer visible!!  Really frustrating because there is a LOT on there.  It worked fine with Lion!  Am I going to have to downgrade to keep it working?
Please advise.
I have an iMac which is running Lion and it sees it fine.  Apple TV sees it too.  Not a connectivity issue.

can it be something related to wi-fi?  I have read other posts talking about loss of connection using wifi.  I'm connecting my G5 through an airport express which is expanding my wifi generated from my Apple Time Capsule. It is quite difficult for me to relocate the server close to the Time Capsule and vice versa but if it works, at least that would be something.  It was working with Lion about 3 months ago - showing up in Finder, etc.

  • I cant access the root share of a windows server after upgrading to mountain lion

    Hi Guys,
    Since upgrading to mountain lion i cant access the shared drives on our windows server. For example in a windows machine if i go to run the type \\server\ i get all the visible shares available. in my previous version i was able to do the same (obviously i would authenticate with my AD account). now when i try to access those same shares i get the message below:
    "The operation cant be completed becuase the original item for "/" cant be found"
    I can however connect to the shares directly for example if i connect to server path \\server\data it works ok.
    I have verified my account details and they are ok - i have also disconnected and reconnected the connection.
    This was working fine before the upgrade. can anyone help??

    well iv just managed to get to 35 gig free (just deleting iphone backups) and im now able to get past the next screen on bootcamp.
    unfortunatly its only allowing me to create a new partition not delete the current.
    this is leading me to think the old ones master partition has become damaged and the hard drive dosent know it exists any more.
    if this is the case (please tell me im wrong though) what options do i have as i dont want to / have the money to buy another hard drive to back everything up to it with.
    thanks again

  • Unable to see certain folders on server after upgrading to mountain lion

    Hello, I recently upgraded from lion to mountain lion on my MacBook Pro.
    With lion I would connect to the server at work through finder under shared. Now with mountina lion, the server still shows up but when I connect to it only shows 3 folders there now when there are a lot more than that in there. I finally was able to connect to the folder I needed by hitting command + K and tryping out the path with smb.
    The folder appears as an external disk icon when I connect to it like this so I guess maybe mountain lion recategorizes it as such and no longer displays it in finder when I connect to the server. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello nikkjazz. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) supports USB storage devices that use a block size of 512 bytes ... and is true whether the device is formatted for HFS+, FAT16 or FAT32. If yours is not, then it may explain why you can see the folders when the drive is directly attached to the Mac, but not so when connected to the AEBSn.

  • Unable to access connected server after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    I upgraded from snow leopard to mountain lion and now am unable to connect to my server.
    The error given is "there was a problem connecting to the server"
    And in console I get a sharepointbrowser error
    There are a few other posts on this but none seem to actually have a fix (for example one recc. was to reboot a bunch of times) I would think deleting/removing the server from the list would work but I don't know how to do that.
    I can access the share if I cmd-k and access it manually though so it isn't a SMB issue it seems to be a mountain lion/OS issue.

    Hi DWAM_2
    Same question to matthew:
    1. Are you accessing the KVM through CIMC?
    If so, try using a monitor, the CIMC may have been restored to default and has no IP address
    Verify(ping) as well that you can reach CIMC and if you do use https://
    Also, verify if you connected to the connect ethernet port :)
    2. Did you upgrade using HUU(Host Upgrade Utility)
    If you didnt, you may have a problem there, both BIOS and ucs firmware needs to be compatible with each other. That is why cisco developed HUU to assist in updating
    3. Still does work?
    You might need to reset the CMOS, check the manual of your C-series
    Typically, you need to short out some pins inside the server or worse case, you might need Cisco's tech support  on site
    to reload the firmware through hardware

  • Cannot install Canon printer drivers after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    Have got a MG3150 printer from Canon. which is in the supported list. I tried to add the new printer and get the message "can't install the software for the Canon MG3100 series becuase it is not currently available from the Software Update Server.
    It says this,  in spite of giving me a message that they are available  when I attach the printer via USB. This does kick off an attempt to  to seek printer updates.
    So both methods of updating the printer drivers fails.
    I tried trashing the Cannon software and the PPD file for the MG3150 followed by a downloaded reinstall, but no luck.
    Any ideas, please?

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I cannot print to my Samsung laser printer ML 2525w?  How can I get this set up to print?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my iMac, I cannot print to my Samsung B&W Laser printer ML 2525W either by USB or wireless.    Any help on how to setup or reconfigure would be apprecaited.
    I either print blank pages or prints one time then goes off line, or spits out a bunch of blank paper, etc.  Have gone through all the standard fixes, reboot, reset , reload driver, etc.

    From the link to the Thread you provided, I worked through the one message procedures that were listed.
    For ease of reference, I have copied them and printed them below.  This was an old thread but the guidance still works with no firmware upgrade required.
    I would stress that you MUST delete any and all files relating to USB connection of the printer to the MAC, including all print drivers (from both Apple and Samsung either from CD or web downloads) and all print queues, etc.  I was only able to get the printer to properly hand shake with my Mac by setting it up wirelessly after all old files were deleted with hard power off reboots on both the Mac and Printer. 
    I hope that someone from Apple will pass this note along to their programing department because there is some type of incompatibility in the new ML OS and the Samsung ML2525w print dirvers used for a cable (USB) type connection.  Apple needs to be talking to Samsung to get the USB issue resolved.  I am going to post this same message on the Samsung site to see if someone from there will contact Apple to work together on a final solution for USB connectivity.
    Here is the steps I followed to get my ML2525w to work in the wireless mode.  Again, I cannot stress the need to clean out all the old files (drivers, print queues, etc. - everything) before setting up wirelessly. 
    As a note, I ran this printer with Lion for almost 2 years and it always worked fine (both wireless and USB).  From other comments on the thread, users were good with this printer using Lep. and Snow Lep also. - - no issues from either a USB connection or wireless until Mountain Lion.
    Before the fix, I was experiencing many of the same issues as described on user chat threads, printer going offline after a print job.  1st page sometimes printing but all the rest of the pages were garbage.  No printing at all. Printer just running a bunch of blank pages out. etc.
    I run an iMAC 27" desktop with the ML OS upgrade just installed from Lion.
    "I've just installed one of these printers for my parents.
    First of all, don't waste your time connecting the ML-2525W as a USB printer. The printer will go offline after each print job. It's hopeless, at least (I assume) until Samsung gets around to publicly releasing a firmware update.
    Instead, you have to use the ML-2525W as a wireless printer. In that mode, it works fine.
    This is what I did:
    (1) First, if you have already attempted to install the Samsung driver software from the included CD-ROM, uninstall it. Get the uninstaller from the Samsung support site:
    http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ML-2525W
    Download the "Printer Driver (ver. 4.0)" ZIP file. It unzips to a folder that contains the uninstaller. Likewise, download the "Smart Panel Driver" ZIP file and uninstall the Smart Panel software.
    (2) Disconnect the USB cable from the printer, if it is connected. Pull the power plug on the printer and power cycle it.
    (3) Restart your Mac.
    (4) Go to the "Printer Driver (ver. 4.0)" folder that you previously unzipped. Inside it is a folder named "WirelessSetting". Open the folder and run the "Wireless Setting.app".
    (5) The application will ask you to connect the USB cable to the printer. Do so, and the Mac should be able to communicate with the printer to perform the wireless setup.
    (6) The application will show you a list of wireless networks. One of them is the wireless interface in the printer (ad-hoc). You can ignore that unless you intend to use the printer without connecting to another wireless network. In my case, I selected the wireless network in my parents' home (infrastructure) and entered the security passphrase. The application then configured the wireless interface in the ML-2525W to connect to the home network.
    (7) The Wireless Setting application will then tell you to disconnect the USB cable.
    (8) After finishing the Wireless Setting application, go to Word, Textedit, Pages, or Safari, and select a file or page to print. In the print dialog window, you should see the ML-2525W as a "Nearby Printer" (i.e. via Bonjour). Select the ML-2525W, and your Mac will automatically connect to Apple's Software Update and download the latest Samsung driver. If for any reason the Software Update download does not succeed, you can manually download and install the Apple driver using the previously published link in this discussion.
    (9) After that, you should be able to print to the ML-2525W whenever you want, without the printer going offline.
    (10) If you have a USB printer queue still in your Print & Fax Preferences (from your previous unsuccessful attempt to connect via USB), you can delete it. You only need to keep the Bonjour queue.
    Obviously YMMV, but in my case this procedure got the printer working reliably without the need for a firmware update."

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

    Numbers is a spreadsheet program and FileMaker is a database program, so you probably can't use Numbers to open them unless you had first exported them from FileMaker in a spreadsheet-compatible format.
    If you upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier and your old copy of FileMaker won't open anymore, it might be a PowerPC application that is not compatible with 10.7 and later. If that is the case, to work with your FileMaker files you should upgrade your copy of FileMaker to the latest version, which seems to be FileMaker 12.

  • After upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer or even off my iTunes library

    after upgrading to mountain lion, i cannot play any video at all, be it directly off a DVD, or through streaming like youtube, BBC iplayer, love film or even directly off my iTunes library. in each case, all i get is a black screen and no error message.

    Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
    Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
    Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
    or this,
    Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
    Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
    Please let me know if it works.

  • Cannot change account picture after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard I cannot change account picture anymore.
    The box which is supposed to contain picture previews just says "No items".
    Screenshot attached:
    This is not limited to a particular account, trying to change the picture within any account leads to this problem.
    Is there any solution for the issue?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for the answer.
    Sure I can drag a photo to the users profile and it works but those Default ones were quite useful for having no mess with setting custom picture.
    MacBook Pro with same Snow Leopard -> Mountain Lion upgrade did not have such issue.

  • Server admin is unable to login to server.app after upgrade to Mountain Lion Server?

    After upgrade to Mountain Lion Server I am unable to login to the server tools. When I input the admin user name and password the dialog box just shakes indicating the wrong password. But it is the correct password. How do I reset the password or if necessary how do I rest the server and start over on Mountain Lion. I found info on how to reset the server on previous versions of the server which involved executing a plist in the LaunchDaemon folder. However that file does not exist on the server following upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Thanks, Howard

    I upgraded today and had the same issue. I took following steps to fix my computer.
    Boot into Recovery Partition (Hold Option Button while booting)
    Open Terminal.
    Type resetpassword
    Select your hard drive
    Select the user account (Administrator)
    Enter a new password for the user
    Reenter password
    Save
    Restart
    Boot normally, Login as Adminstrator with the new password and add "Admin" permission to your account.
    Restart
    Everything should be working as expected

  • TrackPad physical click not working after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    Does anybody know how to get my trackpad working again after upgrading to Mountain Lion?
    I recently upgraded my MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009, Intel Core 2 Duo) from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Everything seems to have gone well, except for trackpad behavior.
    The primary problem is that the physical click of the trackpad is now erratic. Sometimes a physical click will work, and other times it will not work.
    Note: The "tapping" of the trackpad DOES work consistently. I have confirmed that System Prefs > Trackpad > "Tap to Click" is enabled, and so tapping is not the problem. (The "tap to click" selector does exhibit a unique behavior however--if I DESELECT "tap to click," then the physical click no longer works at all. It looks like the "tap to click" selector can completely disable the physical click of the trackpad, but cannot enable the physical click completely.)
    I have also checked the settings on System Prefs > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad, but none of those settings affect the physical click of the trackpad.
    I tried zapping the PRAM, but that did not change the problem with physical clicking on the trackpad.
    Grateful for any ideas...

    I ended up taking my MacBook to the Apple Genius Bar. The staff were very helpful.
    The apple staff said that there is no known link between the upgrade to Mountain Lion and trackpad misbehavior. In my case, they made some hardware adjustments to the trackpad, and all is working properly again.
    Bottom line: if you think that your trackpad misbehavior is related to Mountain Lion, you might want to take it to an Apple Genius Bar. If there really is no connection between Mountain Lion and trackpad behavior, then perhaps they can fix it for you (as happened to be true in my case). But if there IS a connection in some way, it would be helpful for Apple employees to see your evidence firsthand.
    Best wishes to all...
