New Server Installation, now client computers can't connect to services. Where to go from here?
Hello.
I recently had to setup a new Mac Mini Server (Mavericks). We had one previously but one of the raided hard drives failed. No backup.
Our office of 6 Apple MacBook Pros used to connect to all file sharing and calendar services, easily.
On the new Server installation, I added the same users with the same passwords etc. The client computers cannot access calendars, file sharing etc. On the clients, I have opened up System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options > Network Account Server and added the FQDN of the server, but I get an error ' Unable to add server. Connection failed to the directory server. (2100) '
2 of the clients are on Mountain Lion. The rest are on the latest Mavericks.
I'm a bit lost on where to go from here and would appreciate your help before I wipe everything and start from scratch.
Thanks.
Hi Strontium90
Ha! There was a time machine backup, but we had a storm here which rendered it and the server useless. We are such a small team without an 'IT' guy, apart form me as I have a vague interest in all things Apple.
What is your DNS name space?
Do you need the name here?
Do the servers and the client agree on this name?
Not sure what you mean. The domain name works as when I type it into a web browser, I can see the 'Welcome to Server' page.
Did you enable an Open Directory Master?
Yes. Open Directory is running.
Did you grant the users/group access to the service you are offering?
Yes. All services are checked for each user.
Make sure the user/group is permitted to access your enabled services.
All allowed, too.
Oh, and implement a backup strategy
Will do, once I sort out this problem. Time Machine and off-site, I think.

WRT120N works only on Vista computers - all XP computers can't connect
Could someone help me solve this problem please? I'm this close to smashing my Linksys router against the wall and swearing off Linksys for the rest of my life.
I bought the WRT120N wireless router for use with a Motorola cable modem. On WPA, NONE of my computers can even connect to the router. So I tried using WEP and my primary computer which runs on Vista works, but only when network mode is either G-only / B-only / BG-Mixed But three other work and personal laptops that are on XP are unable to connect to the network no matter what settings I change. I have tried disabling security, but the XP laptops can't connect to these networks as well. There isn't an error message or anything, it shows that it's connecting, and then disappears after 5 to 10 minutes, but the wireless icon shows its not connected. It may not be a Vista/ XP issue, but three laptops convinced me that it has to be more than a coincidence.
Network Mode: BG-Mixed
Network Name (SSID):
Channel Width: 20Mhz only
Wide Channel:: Auto
Standard Channel: Auto
SSID Broadcast:
Enabled
Under Wireless Security, the settings are
AP Isolation Disabled
Frame Burst Enabled
Authentication Type, Basic Rate, Transmission Rate, N Transmission Rate, CTS Protection Mode are all set to Auto
Appreciate any help that anyone can give. But appreciate if you could be specific as I'm not well-versed in all things IT.
Thanks in advance!Befor you make any further changes on your Router, the First thing which you need to do is to Upgrade the firmware on your Router. Download the latest firmware for your Router from the Linksys Router and upgrade that firmware on your Router...
Once the firmware is upgraded successfully on your Router, then you need to Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router... -

Nokia Suite: Can't connect to Service (Nokia C5-05...
I updated Nokia Suite with the new version 3.4.49 recently and after that I am not able to install any app from Nokia Ovi store. Whenever I click "Download via PC", the Nokia Suite gives the error "Can't connect to service".
Please refer to the attached image.
How to resolve the issue?
Attachments:
NokiaSuiteError.png 11 KBCopied from a member of the Nokia Developer Team. It worked for me.
"This problem can be also because of expired certificates that you have on your computer.
To remove the problematic certificates, do the following:
On your computer, open Control Panel and click Internet Options.
In the Internet Properties window, select the Content tab, and click Certificates.
In the Certificates window, select the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab.
To sort the certificates, click the Expiration Date column header.
Select any GTE CyberTrust certificates that have their expiration date in the past. You should be left with one GTE CyberTrust certificate that is valid.
Click Remove and, when asked for confirmation, click Yes.
After the expired certificates have been removed, please restart Nokia Suite and try signing into your Nokia account again"
Good luck! -
After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system.
I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows -
I have set up 3 ipod today and now the 4th one wont connect to itunes, but will charge from a power point
- 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
- Try another cable. I dubt it will help but do it since you have more cables
- Try another USB port
- Try on another cable. Again I doubt it will do anything
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hello,
I have Oracle10g running on Windows2003 server and now I need to install Oracle on the new Windows2003 server. Then my plan is to export data into new database and point my users to the new server. I need to keep the same database name/sid, say mydb. I understand it is possible when I have 2 servers.
My question is how should I deal with the net service name, if I have mydb.server1.com as current and will have mydb.server2.com as a new ? How would I distinguish between two databases (for example scott/tiger@mydb) during client access ? I probably can rename current service to mydb_old, but I am not sure it's correct.
Please advise.
MarinaYou would need different "alias" names in the tnsnames.ora file.
Example:
## tnsnames.ora file
MYDB_OLD =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=server1)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=mydb.world)(SERVER=DEDICATED))
MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=server2)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=mydb.world)(SERVER=DEDICATED))
)
