Mac's and PCs can no longer connect after 10.4.10 Upgrade SMB Crash - Help

This is my second post on this topic. I have read other similar threads, but none of the advice I have tried has worked so far. We have 4 PCs and 5 Macs at home that were networking nicely until we upgraded the G5 10.4.10. The G5 can browse and connect to any machine on the network. However, no other machine can connect to a shared folder on the G5.
I installed a clean 10.4.10 on a second hard drive and it works fine. So that eliminates hardware and infrastructure. I really did not want to have to reinstall everything from scratch.
I performed an Archive and Install and that did not work.
1) On my G5 I turn on Personal or Windows File Sharing
2) From another computer PC or Mac I attempt to connect to the shared files
3) The connection is made most of the time and I can see the folders. However within a few minutes or the second time I attempt to browse the folders, I get an error.
4) When I return to the G5, the Service is unchecked
The console log is reporting...

  • My Mac Book Pro suddenly will no longer connect to the Internet at my house. Help?

    My Mac Book Pro suddenly will no longer connect to the Internet at my house. My son's MacBook connects just fine. My MacPro connects at work, at Starbucks, etc. just fine, but not at my house. My son's however has no problem whatsoever. I assume that since his computer connects that the router and modem is not the problem. And since my computer connects everywhere but here . . . . it is not a hardware issue. When directly connecting my MacBook Pro to the modem or router the problem was the same. . . no connection. Help?

    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

  • Can no longer connect to Airport Express with upgrade to iTunes 10.1

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.1 I can no longer connect to my Airport Express (unknown error-15000). Another computer on my betwork running an older version of iTunes still works on the Airport Express.
    Any ideas? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall airport express with no success.

    Rather than disabling the firewall, try making sure you've got exceptions in it for BonJour. Although the following document is about a different error message, the instructions in there are worth trying. (At step 7, make sure there's an exception for BonJour as well.)

  • Ethernet MAC address has changed and I can no longer connect to the network

    I have a new iMac, 21.5" running 10.6.4. It was purchased in the past month.
    I am using it on an ethernet network and using DHCP to obtain the address. It has been working for the past few weeks. I turned it on today and it is failing to connect. After some digging around, it seems that the MAC address (Ethernet ID) has been reset to 00:10:18:00:00:00. This is different to the one it has been using last week.
    I have not changed any network settings. Airport is working fine.
    If I pull out the ethernet cable and reinsert, the machine tries to obtain an IP address. After a while, it returns with a self-assigned IP Address.
    Last week, I did notice that it was taking a relatively long time (a minute or so) to obtain the IP address over ethernet. Plugging the same ethernet cable in a macbook, I am able to obtain the IP address for the macbook much more quickly.
    I see that I could use ipconfig to change the interface address to what I believe is the correct address. Would this be sensible?
    Why would the machine have reset the MAC address anyway?
    Regards,
    Neil

    Dear all,
    I am having the same problem with a new MacBook Pro, bought end of October - for me it became apparent for software (Matlab, Comsol) that are registered with a licence file which was created based on the MAC address, and also when trying to register the computer to the company network. That software will only work those times that the computer "knows" its real MAC. Also, I found that audible audio books, managed through itunes, will not synchronize with the ipod at those times when the MAC address is at the producer's default (00:10:15:00:00). I never had network issues other than this computer registration, - no probs at home or elsewhere - , so it will depend on the individual setup which issue users observe.
    I have had long phone discussions with different Apple support people, they have done checks based on Capture Data that I sent to them via email, etc.. They can't find the problem in the software/setup and they advised me to go the Genius Bar and have those guys look at the computer's guts.
    Restarting sometimes did set the MAC to the real one, also running the code that someone suggested in Terminal sometimes helped.
    Other than that, looking through the web, it does not seem to be an Apple-unique problem, but certainly one would like to see support to take care of that issue for Macs soon.
    Also, thanks a lot for this thread! Otherwise the support guys on the phone would not have believed my : "the Mac address changes on a daily basis" and would just have brushed me off.
    All the best,
    Susanne

  • HT4528 After upgrading to iOS 7, my iPhone and iPad can no longer connect to App Store. I did reset all settings, still the same. Please help

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4 and iPad Mini to iOS 7, suddenly they both can no longer access to iTunes nor App Store. The message says "Cannot connect to App Store". After some research, I did reset all, and still the same. Can anyone have a clue? Thanks,

    As I mentioned earlier, when I clicked on the App Store or iTunes Store, the message reads "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" or "Cannot connect to App Store" depending on which I clicked.
    I did check iTunes & App Store, it used to show my Apple ID there, but somehow it shows empty there. I then manually typed in my Apple ID, it just won't work. I know for sure that my Apple ID works as I tried logging online using that ID fine, but my iPhone and iPA
    Thanks,

  • Can no longer tether after update to iOS8.1.1 - PLEASE help!

    I rely on this feature for my business. I now have no connection
    Everything was fine in iOS6 - I do not know why I updated something that WAS working fine!
    But I have and now I cannot connect my MacPro nor my MBP, to my iPhone 5
    I have tried every suggestion I can find, both here and on other venues.
    All equipment is signed in to the same iCloud account,
    The iPhone internet via Verizon LTE is working fine (by itself) ie I can browse on the phone etc
    Hot spot shows on both Mac's - and both Mac's will tether to iPhone - but nothing will load in Safari, nor Mail
    Both computers are running OS 10.7.5, I had no problems before the update.
    The update did crash the phone which then went into recovery mode and restored from back-up.
    I really need a solution and fast - I am loosing $$$
    Thank You

    I now have two threads on this - anyone reading - it seems after a 2nd full restore it's working again - fingers crossed!

  • Lately my finder closes when I select a shared devices and I can no longer connect to other macs.  Wifi working, TC okay except in finder. Mac Pro running 10.8.5

    Lately my finder has been closing when I select a shared device such as another mac, a printer, or the time capsule.   My WiFi connection is working - I can can still backup to the TC and use my wireless printer, but I just can't access them by clicking on them in the finder window.   Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Thanks for your help
    I made no changes to the mini or the server.
    The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
    Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
    I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
    It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks

  • Ok so we bought an ipodtouch for my daughter and when she connected to the computer all of a sudden she lost all her pics and she can no longer connect to the app store on  her ipod.. any suggestions why and what can be done?

    ok so we bought an ipod touch for my daughter and when she connected it to the computer after she downloaded itunes, she was asked if it was her ipod or a new one, so she clicked on her ipod and lost all her recent pics plus is unable to locate the app store on her safari on her ipod touch. any suggestions as to what went wrong or what should be done ? should we restore or what?
    much appreciated if there is anyone else who had this happen to them.

    - The iPod got erased since it sounds iTunes identified that the iPod has been synced with another computer and she said yes to making this computer her syncing computer. It could also she restored the iPod from the backup of another iPod, iPhone or iPad that was in iTunes. If in iTunes you go to Preferences>Devices is there a backup listed for her iPod with a date/time when she first connected the iPod to the computer. If so then restore the iPod from that backup.

    Note synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup,
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Regarding the App store. The App store is not in Safari. It is a separate app. Also, could the Apple store be hidden by Restrictions? Settings>General>Restrictions. Further, can you find the App store via the Spotlight search on the iPod?

  • IPhone and iPad can no longer connect to iTunes Libary via Remote

    Up until a couple of hours ago, I had no problems controlling iTunes on my MacBook Pro via my iPhone or iPad. Now, on both devices, I get an error saying it can't connect to my Library.
    All devices are connected to the same network. I get the error whether my firewall is on or off. I have tried re-adding the Library. When I do so the relevant device shows up in iTunes and the pairing process SEEMS to work. It tells me that my iPhone can now control my library, but it still can't connect.
    I've tried rebooting the router.
    All devices show the same ip address for the router and all are on the same subnet.
    I've just upgraded iTunes to 10.2.1 and everything on the iPhone and iPad has the latest upgrades.
    Also when I go to the iPod app on my iPhone and go to More -> Shared -> and then my library, I get an error saying "Cannot Connect to Media Libary"
    I've seen this advice, "You must also have the iTunes preference "Look for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad Remotes" enabled. " I cannot find this preference anywhere. It's not something I've ever looked for before so possibly the name of it has changed in a recent iTunes release. Can anyone tell me if I'm looking for the right thing and where I might find it?
    Any other ideas?
    Anyone else with a similar problem that has cropped up recently?

    Hi Everyone, I found a solution to this problem with no "Look for iPod..." option.
    Check "Allow iTunes Audio Control from Speakers"
    Then, RESTART iTunes.
    Heres a picture of what to check off:

    Should Work.

  • I originally installed Itunes with dial up but now have a high speed connection and I can no longer connect to the store

    I have not been able to connect to the store to update, restore, download apps, or anything . I just get a connection error. I have turned off my firewall, added all the apple locations to my trusted sites, deleted the original dial up connection, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone know if iTunes is looking for that orginal path to the store?

    Hi msmith9744!

  • I have a new motorola router and modem in one, and I can no longer connect to my airport

    Under network preferences it says "AirPort is connected to MOTOROLA-D192D and has the IP address 192.168.0.3., but when I open airport utility, it says there are no airport devices within range for my computer (and the orange light it flashing on the airport).

    Yes.

    Because trying to do it wirelessly is not working...
    That's normal.  If you want to "extend" a network, an Airport can extend only a WiFi created by another Airport, not a non-Apple device.  The only wireless connection that you can make to the Motorola WiFi is a "join" for the purpose of providing an AirPlay connection.

  • Ipod touch can no longer connect to XP following Apple upgrade, HELP !

    This is a nightmare. My son has an ipod touch (8gb)purchased a couple of months, and it's been fine until a couple of days ago. I downloaded some music for him, and just about to synch when Apple informed me on itunes of a software upgrade, so naturally I did this. However, it could not complete it saying there was a problem installing the hardware. The ipod then had a permanent picture of a usb cable pointing towards the itunes logo. Itunes no longer recognises this ipod or my own ipod as a device.
    I'm not a techhie expert, but I generally know my way around computers, however I could not resolve this.
    I called the Apple technical support desk, where I spent 1 hour 45 minutes with 2 different advisors who could not resolve this. We installed and re-installed various components from drivers to itunes to anti virus software, however nothing could change. There was simply no recognition of the ipod at all when connected.It does give a pop up message to restore the ipod, however you can't actually click on the restore button because to have to get rid of the pop up message first, then the screen with the restore facility disappears.
    Windows xp is continually popping up a message saying " FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD There was a problem installing this hardware. Apple Mobile USB driver. An error occured during the installation of the device. The system cannot find the file specified."
    You then have to click on finish, however the message keeps coming back. We kept going round and round in circles with the technical support people, where it was left that I should start removing programmes on my computer to see if any of those are causing a problem. I have had the same spyware for the last 12 months now and never had a problem before, nor any other programmes.
    I booked a genius appointment at my local Apple store today where the assistant reset the ipod to factory settings so it could at least work. I explained the situation, however 15 minutes was never going to be long enough to look into it, and a restore was all they did. Obviously all of my programmes were lost, however when I got home and plugged it back into the computer again, it could not be recognised by itunes and i got the same pop up message. Luckily we have not spent alot on downloads, however my son has lost his music now and it cannot be connected or upgraded. It's under guarantee however a software upgrade by Apple has totally messed my computer up. I really don't know who to turn to now as both the service support and store has not rectified this, something I feel has been caused by Apple.
    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
