Drop Box can't secure connection

Please help i have drop box but it's not working i have parent controls on but fixed the ip issue, any help please?

Each computer has it's own user "ID", lets call them iMac and Mac Air
Example of problem... on Mac Air computer in Finder, Favorites, there is Drop Box.
I put a file into there.
From my iMac (different computer), I connect to Finder, Shared, Mac Air, Public Folder, Drop Box... click on Drop box and get message.
I also try to drop the file into my Finder, iMac, Shared, Public Folder, Drop Box on my Mac Air... and still get message when I try to retreive the file on my iMac, Public Folder, etc...
Im not sure what it takes to gain permission on my own computers... with the same passwords set... the file sharing checked (in System Prefrences)... and users iMac/Mac Air included under users.
Thanks for your help.

Can't copy files to network drop box

I'm running an Ubuntu server with netatalk (afp server) running and serving a couple afp shares. In one of the shares, I have a drop box directory that is owned by user "foo" and has group "bar". My Mac system username is "dude" and I also have a user named "dude" on the server. On the server, "dude" is a member of group "bar". The drop fox directory has permissions drwx-w----. The goal is to have a drop box that only "foo" on the server can read, but "dude" and other users in group "bar" can write to. I have other directories on the share with permissions drwxr-x--- foo:bar that "dude" and other users can read but not write to. In Mac OS X when I connect to the server as "dude" and try to copy a file to the drop box, I'm notified that I won't be able to see the copied file and then the copy fails with "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items." The files I am trying to copy are owned by my user and I tried changing their permissions to rw-rw-rw but no luck. I also tried adding +x for the group on the dropbox. I checked the netatalk configuration and there's no permission mask being applied to the share.

I had the same problem, but I managed to fix it.
In WGM check that the sharepoint of your users Home Folder is set to owner root with Read and Write permissions.
I also created an ard_admin group in WGM and enabled open directory management on the client Macs. (Page 62 of the ARD admin Guide.)

Connecting a Power Mac G5 to an iMac G3 at Home - Drop Box Only?

Hi folks,
I have a Powermac G5 and a iMac G3 running OSX 10.3.9 and 10.4.3 connected to each other via a network cable and a Modem/Router. I can see both computers from each other but all i can see is the "drop box", how can i set it up so i can see the whole computer (desktop and hard drive etc)? It seemed so much easier in OS9.
Thanks.

Drop box not connecting

I'm so lost. All of a sudden, my drop box says it has no internet connection, when I'm connected and I see the signal.
Any ideas?

Just because you can see the white WiFi signal doesn't mean that you have an Internet connection. That signal means that the iPad has detected a Wifi network. That's all it means. It doesn't mean that you are connected.
And are you sure that you are connected? Can you surf the web with Safari?
Reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and them plug it in again.
Quit DropBox and reboot the iPad as well.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Safari 8.0.3 Can't establish a secure connection to the server

I have a Macbook Air (early 2014) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Safari is version 8.0.3
When accessing the websites "https://www.national-lottery.co.uk" and "https://portal.wmpfonline.com" I am given the below message:
Safari can't open the page "https://www.national-lottery.co.uk" because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "www.national-lottery.co.uk".
Initially when I bought my Macbook Air these sites worked perfectly. Also, when I clear website data it will work for a short period of time (roughly 2 minutes) but other times that makes no difference. I have tried using FireFox but I still have an issue accessing these sites. When in recovery mode both sites work perfectly fine without an issue.
Is anyone able to help me with this issue? I have been searching and searching for a week to find a solution to this problem.
Thank you all in advance

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
Check the box marked
          Set date and time automatically
if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
Repeat with this line:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it by pressing command-V. Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 3
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
          File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
Open the View menu in the menu bar. If one of the items in the menu is
          Show Expired Certificates
select it. Otherwise it will show
          Hide Expired Certificates
which is what you want.
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu labeled
          Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
select
          no value specified
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings.
Now open the same inspection window again, and select
          When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Save the change in the same way as before.
Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
Step 4
Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
          Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Step 6
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
Restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test.
Step 7
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in the same way you launched Keychain Access.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost

fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
If that's not what you see, post the contents of the window.

Connecting multiple services together: Google Drive, Drop Box, and Cloud.

Is there a way to connect multiple services such as Google Drive, Drop Box, and Cloud into one program that allows to you manage all three at once? I am trying to look for a program that can connect all three together into one. Is there such a thing?

No such program exists that I've seen, and given the proprietary nature of each service, particularly iCloud, I very much doubt such a program would be possible.

Can't access HTTPS sites-message says can't establish a secure connection

Whenever I try to access any secure (HTTPS) site, I get a message saying that Safari can't establish a secure connection. I'm running on an I Book G4, 10.3.9. This started a couple of weeks ago. It had been fine.
I have an IMac runnning the same operating system and the same Safari version and that works fine.
Any ideas? Thanks
I Book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You need to update OS X to v10.8.5
Click your Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
OR, open the App Store then select Updates from the menu top of the App Store window.
Then follow the instructions.
When the updates are finished, try Safari.
Very very important to keep your Mac's software up to date.

How can another user on my system share their document if they cannot access a public drop box, do not have an email account setup on the system and we don't want to use iwork?

Please help. My DS created a document under his login on my PowerBook and now, I cannot seem to access it. He doesn't have an email account of his own, I can't seem to save it as a public document in a drop box like I can from my own login and we do not want to use iwork. Is there a way to save it so that I can access it from my login to email to his teacher. I don't want to have to retype it into Pages under my login.

Save the document from his account to an external drive or thumb drive.
Set the permissions (using Finder > Get Info) for "Everyone" to Read and Write.
Your DS will likely be the owner of the file, so you may need his login password to change the permissions.
Regards,
Barry

Can't delete file from my public drop box

Files were copied to my own drop box folder at ~/public/drop box/ and when I want to delete them it says it is locked. I can't unlock because I don't have permission. If I look at the permissions I see "fetching: custom, fetching: read and write, everyone: read only". The file is also locked and I can't unlock it. I tried using terminal to "sudo chmod" or "sudo chown" but it still says I don't don't have access. "ls -l" shows -rw-------+ 1 staff. "id" shows that I am a member of staff (uid=502(andrew) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff)). OS is 10.10.1. What do I do now?

I managed to fix it. On the drop box folder itself I changed the permission for staff from write only to read & write and then applied to enclosed items.

"Can't establish a secure connection to server" Ne...

Since moving to BT on 22nd Oct none of my Apple devices, laptop, phone or desktop are able to access Dropbox, iCal (cloud synced calander) or iCloud (Apple's cloud service). I get a message that "a secure connection to the server could not be established" whenever I try to connect/sync. If I use my neighbour's WiFi network, everything works fine, so there must be an issue with my new Homehub 5 or with BT servers, right? Maybe it's just a setting that needs changed or something.
It's affecting my work because I work from home and can't share files, calendar or pictures.
Please help if you have any idea where I should look. Spent an hour this afternoon talking to nice people in India who had no technical knowledge at all. BT's support is a complete joke. I'm one more bad day from telling BT to shove their service.
Solved!

I recently found a "drop box" (2 words; not Dropbox) folder in my images on my S3. I didn't put this there and there are 3 pictures inside that I can't delete. I also can't delete the folder itself.

Someone please help, thanks!!!

I can no longer access facebook from my macair and when i try the following error message appears "unable to establish a secure connection to the server.

I have had no issue accessing Facebook in the past using my MacAir. Last night each time I would try and access the page, an error message would appear, saying that unable to establish a secure connection to the server "www.facebook.com"". The problem continues this morning. I have not updated any software or made any changes. One minute it was working, the next it was not. I do not have any parental controls; I have deleted the cookies; and I have reset safari. I can access all other websites that I have tried. I am using Version 6.0.4.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Now open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, restart your internet modem and router. Then quit and relaunch Safari and try Facebook.
