Solution To Network problems with Leopard systems and tiger and vista

After lots of research and looking into sharing data with leopard systems and other os, i finally found a Solution. Before i state what you have to do to fix it here is what the problem is.
Mac Os x( Leopard) systems trying to find computers or share data to other systems on the same lan can't find each other or simply if are found cant share data with each other.
Reason for the problem.
- By default tiger , windows and some linux distro's automatically join WORKGROUP under workgroup in WINS. with leopard this is changed to join local under workgroup. This effectively causes the systems to fail to communicate with each other.
- By default shared folders on leopard has smb not checked by default.
Solutions
-in order to see computers on the same network or workgroup. find out the workgroup with which all the local machines are connected to, then on your leopard system goto Apple->System Preferences->network ->advance and head over to WINS tab from here either select your workgroup or type in your workgroup. hit ok then apply in the network window. ( restart your mac at this point int time and try browsing the computers in your network)
- to make sure you can share folders with windwos machines goto apple->system preference ->Sharing. Make sure file sharing is selected then choose the folder you want to share or add a folder you want to share. next click on options and enable Share files and folders using SMB enter your password if it asks and then hit done.
hopefully this helps people with problems on their mac's. other wise you have three options if this is too much trouble install vmware fusion/parallels on your machine and install windows / install windows using bootcamp / and last get a windows machine ( although this choice is highly unlikely it's still a choice). Please note this is not a windows vs mac subject is just that apple has changed the network stack protocols and architecture so stuff is being done differently , you just got to think different to get stuff to work. but after it's all said and done all your system should work in harmony now.

Thank you all for replying. I upgraded to Tiger from Panther the first week and it worked AWESOME! I do have to say that I truly and beginning to feel like I'm having issues I would experience on a windows machine. I know that Apple will fix but it is frustrating that I'm having the issues that I'm having.
I just need to finish up the project I'm working on and then I'm going back. I'm currently without any admin rights on my computer but I'm working away. I actually don't know what to expect next so I'm just backing up my data from time to time and working hard to get this done and get back to Tiger (that will be a long process so don't want to get started).
Again thank you all! Also I want to call Apple about this but don't want to wait on hold for the tech. AND they are only open during business hours. Guess what, I work during business hours. What's up with that? Adobe is available all the time.

Graphics Problems with Leopard, ATI X800 XT, and Power Mac G5

I just upgraded to Leopard. I'm using a Dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 with an ATI X 800 XT graphics card installed, and a Dell 24" monitor running at 1900x1200 resolution. After about 5-15 minutes, the screen starts shimmering with these green lines everywhere. It keeps getting worse to the point where I can't see anything and have reboot. Then, it starts all over again after another 5-15 minutes. The only way to solve this problem is to turn down the resolution to 1360x768. My fan is also running at max speed constantly since I've upgraded. I was hoping that 10.5.1 update would fix it, but it hasn't.
I've spent the last hour reading posts on this forum related to my problem to see if there is a solution, and as far as I can tell there isn't one. Is there something I missed for fixing the display and fan problems? Is there any hope that 10.5.2 will fix this? I've never had problems like this with any of the other OSX upgrades. I'm basically forced to go back to Tiger for now until this problem is solved. I can't believe ATI hasn't updated their drivers for my card since 2005!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Masai,
It sounds like a problem I had when I first got a new ATI X800 XT last October. When I first installed the card, there were what looked like florescent green symbols all over the screen which would get worse if I moved a window around. I ended up returning the card to ATI and exchanging it for a new one.
If you could post a screen shot, I could confirm the similarities in our problems. My problem was caused, I think, by the card overheating . . . which was the result, I speculate, of a disconnect between the X800's memory chips and heat sink.
I got a second card, and it's been working perfectly with Leopard. In my case, the card itself was the problem and not Leopard and/or graphics drivers.
Hopefully that's not the case with your situation. Did the card work okay under Tiger or whatever your previous OS was?

Try a new SIM from your carrier. If that doesn't work, make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
There are two major problems with the music app.
1. Lyrics no longer displayed
2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.

Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Help me please : Serious problems with collection-mapping, list-mapping and map-mappi

Hi everybody;
I have serious problems with list-mapping, collection-mapping and map-mapping.
Acording to specifications and requirements in a system I am working on it is needed to
get a "list" of values or an indivudual value.I am working with ORACLE 9i Database,
ORACLE 9i AS and ORACLE 9i JDEVELOPER.
I tried to map a master-detail relationship in an entity-bean, using list-mapping.
And this was very useful in order to get a "list" of details, ...but, when I wanted
to get a single value I have some problems with persistence, something about "saving a state"
despite I just want to get the value of a single detail.
I decided to change it to map-mapping and the problem related with a single detail
worked successfully, but I can get access to the whole bunch of details.
May anyone of you help me with that?
I am very confused I do not know what to do.
Have any of you a solution for that problem?
Thank you very much.

Need help with Leopard: screen saver glitch and very slow internet

I performed an erase and install leopard 10.5.1 on my upgraded G4 AGP Sawtooth Computer several times. Has anyone had the following 2 problems with leopard and any suggestions to solve them? Apple telephone support has not helped thus far. The Issues include:
1-Internet surfing (Safari and Firefox) is extremely slow worse than dial-up. I have verizon fios. Upgrading leopard to 10.5.3 and upgrading Safari did not help and took about 10 hours to download when it should have been quick.
2- A screen saver glitch: When I click on screen saver such as beach I get this message. " Screen saver "beach" did not load properly. Error Can't load bundle" When I click on the screen savers folder, there is nothing in it. Desktop pictures work fine.
Computer upgrades include:
Processor-OWC Mercury Extreme [email protected] 2MB L3 Cache
2GB memory
Two 120GB hardrives.
Firmware is updated.
Thus far, all this was done:
Apple exchanged install disk. Same results with new disk.
I ran disk utility and everything is ok including permissions.
I performed a safe boot with apple support.
I Threw away cache folder and com.apple.safari.plist
Tried firefox with same very slow surfing results.
I even checked file system structure problem fsck -yf. Everything was ok
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Althought the behavior is the same in all three accounts, if all are working accounts I would suspect there is something all of them have installed that could be the source of the problem. Try creating a new admin account, and leave it just the way Apple creates it--don't add anything nor modify it in any way. Log into that account and see if it works correctly.
If that account is also misbehaving, try restarting, and when you hear the chime hold down the Shift key so that you boot into Safe Mode (you'll see a notice in the splash screen about being in Safe Mode). The boot will take longer (perhaps even considerably longer) as the system runs disk repair, empties some caches, disables all third party startup items, as well as all Apple startup items not strictly necessary for the machine to run. See the menus and Dock now behave correctly.
Since the problem is evidently somewhat intermittent in nature it may take some patience to discover what is wrong. You might also disconnect everything that didn't come with the Mac, reboot, and use only the Apple keyboard and Apple mouse and run for a bit to see how that works. If you are using a third party mouse that required installing something that would be my guess as a "prime suspect" for the cause of the problems.

Networking problem after a zone is created and installed

Hi all,
I've got a networking problem after a zone was created and installed on a Solaris 10 box. The box was configured with two NICs, one (e1000g0) with a public IP address, the other one (e1000g1) with a private IP address and connected to a local switch. All worked fine so far.
Then I created a local zone with shared networking (e1000g1). The zone has a private IP address which is in the same subnet as e1000g1 on the global zone. After some time, I noticed that I could not access (ssh, ping) the global zone. Then after some time, the global zone became available. The problem happened quite frequently.
Also I observed that: 1) When the global zone was unavailable from outside, it was available (ssh, ping) from another box within the same subnet (e1000g0); 2) If I shutdown e1000g1, the problem was gone.
Any idea what caused this problem?
Many thanks,
Xiaobo

It was a route problem.

Problem with QT 7.1.5 and Sorensen codec?

Has anyone noticed a compatibility problem with Sorensen video 3 codec and Quicktime 7.1.5? This problem did not seem to exist in prior versions (hence have been asking how to reinstall previous version but seems impossible). Some of the earlier postings discuss software that may be designed with Sorensen codec... these may be the ones not functioning properly now (video no longer works). Does this sounds plausible?
Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

That may be true, Jack, but Edmund said that the movie played in QuickTime Player. So his problem is most likely not a bug in QuickTime, though I can't say for certain.
And as I said above, I have no problem playing Sorenson-encoded content on my Intel-based Mac with QuickTime 7.1.5, so more details about your content and setup (including any third-party codecs you may have installed) so that people can determine what the difference might be between the content that plays and the content that does not, or what's different in the systems, would be helpful, I'm sure.

Workstation specs -- Any problems with this system quote?

Here are the specs I have been quoted. I'm not terribly knowledgeable about hardware, does anyone see any problems with this system? I have recently started shooting and editing weddings, engagements and corporate videos. I think it may be bit more than I need, but I would much prefer that to less than I need. Any input from the more tech savvy users would be much appreciated.

Weird Problems with K9A2 System

Can Someone Help Me?
I recently built a new system and have had nothing but problems. See system config in signature (Left off OCZ PRO Xtreme 1000W Power Supply With 4 12 Vrails at a max of 26 Amps each or 82 Amp all together and a 5 Volt rail at 30 Amps Max.) After putting it all (except the seagate 250 IDE drive), system would not even enter post. After strippin memory down to just 2 GB system finally entered post (although my memory were the same models from G.Skill one set was older and one set was new they had different voltages old required 1.9-2.0 while the newer worked at the default 1.8 voltage all timing and specs besides voltage were the same). I entered the bios setup and set my Memory voltage to 1.95 (What I had been runnin the older memory in my old system). Inserted all the memory back in and system booted right up to allow me to install my OS (Vista Home Premium 64-bit).
After the OS installed the system started having all kinds of wierd clitches/problems at one point it locked up and neither reset button nor the power button would work. After unplugging the power I noticed that the M connector for the front case switches was a little loose. I decided to just plug wires directly into board instead of using th M connector. Now my buttons worked again. I then proceded back into the bios and checked my voltages in the hardware monitor of the bios. All voltages looked to be fine with only an ocassional voltage fluctuation in the 5V line from 4.97 to 4.92 Volts and the 12V line was a little high 12.4 Volts. However, after booting back into vista and installing Everest Ultimate Edition it detected the that the 5 Volt line was only at 4.67 Volts. But was not fluctuating at all.
After installing the drivers for my system and proceding to install my anti-virus software the system started freaking out the mouse started lagging and sometimes not responding at all and the keyboard worked intermittently. I decided to remove the M connectors from these as well and that solved that problem. Upon rebooting the system and trying to install the Anti-Virus software again the system started telling me that I had just plugged in something to the audio connector. I had not so I just ignored it and continued to install my anti-virus. (the audio connector alert popped up 4X while I was finishing the installation of the software. I decided to test the audo so I but a DVD in and and watched the whole movie sound worked fine and no more pop ups about the audio connector until I started to install more software. During the next install of software the screen went black and the DVD and Hard Drive LED stopped flashing. It stayed this way for about 10 Min. I decided to hit the reset button and the system would not enter post again.
Once again I started to pull the Memeory It finnally worked after removing the new memory that I had just bought but none of my Maxtor hard drives were recognized and I started smelling smoke. ( Strange only the Maxtor drives went out, all had the interface boards and one chip on each drive fried. After disconnecting these drives and replacing the maxtor 120 GB IDE drive that had fried with a Seagate 250 GB IDE drive and reinstalling everyting onto it since the maxtor was my boot drive the system started up and was running fine except for the occasioal audio connector popup I finished Installing the rest of my software and everything was running good. So I assumed the problems were due to faulty ram. I contacted NewEgg and arranges for an RMA on the memory went shipped the memory back to NewEgg came back and started to move file some file to my NAS200 After about 4 hours the system locked up again (It had been almost 36 hours since I had had anyother problems with the system and it had not been turned off the whole time. All temps were good CPU was at 29C and GPU was at 46C system temp was 31C according to my Everest Ultimate so I didn't think it was a heat related issue)
Upon restarting my computer I got a message that a recent overclocking attempt had failed (I did not try to overclock!!) After going back into Bios and resetting all my settings the computer would not post agian. I tried to clear the CMOS with the jumper just to make sure that there wasn't any coruption inthe CMOS. Still no Luck. Pulled out one stick of the older ram and it booted but very slow. I went to a local parts dealer and bought some extremely over prived memory just so I could get my system back to 2 GB because I had video edditing software that didn't work very good on 1 GB. After installing no post again. So I started testing each stick of memory that I had in DIMM 1 they all worked but anytime I insert one into DIMM 2 it would not boot. Finnally I but 2 sticks into DIMM 3&4 and It started up and ran good. I decided to set my bios Unganged option to enabled and put memory back into DIMM 1 No luck would not post. I removed the memory from DIMM 1 and computer has worked ever fine except for an error coming out from sleep mode. (Never had a computer that didn't have a problem with that) I even updated the BIOS to 1.5 which was suppose to fix the wakeup problem.
So here is what I have I can use Dimm 1 by itself or I can use DIMM 3&4 but not both together. I'm about to buy a Power Supply (single 12V rail at 40 Amps and a 5V rail at 50 Amps) because I think that the 12 V reading as 12.4 and the 5 Volts reading as 4.67 in Everest Ultimate and 4.97 volts in Bios might have something to do with some of my problems. I did not check the Memory that I RMA'd by them selves on DIMM 3&4. I think that they may have been good now.
Can the 5V line registering the way it is 4.97 Bios/4.67 in Windows cause DIMM 2 to not function and create the lockups or can the socket or board be bad and that be what is causing this problem? And Should I RMA the motherboard back or just purchase a different motherboard?
System is pretty Stable as it is now with the voltages as they are. I really wantt to be able to put my new memory that I get back from NewEgg in and have my 4 GB of memory.

OK I have removed the mother board and and checked for grounding issue or any damage from the fried hard drives board looks good did not find any grounding issues in the case. One thing I did not check was that I was using a Startech SATA to IDE converter to connect the the IDE drives that I didn't have the connectors on the board or.
I did some research before buying them and made sure to get one with a plastic box around the pcb due to so many people compaining that their's would short to the hard drive case. Since the loss of the HDD I didn't need the adapter so I quit Using it.
when I did my research on the adapter I found that many people had said that their HDD got hoter when using the adapter I guess my HDD just couldn't handle it. The Drive that I had connected with it was about 6 years old and I had been having intermittent problems with the connector not making a good connection when it was in my old system. (Anytime I would shut the power off for a long period of time and the HDD had a chance to cool down I would have to unplug and reconnect the ide cable from that drive.)
I didn't think that the problem would continue as I was moving it to an new case, motherboard, and cable.
And it just so happened that the drives that fried were all connected the the sata controller in the SB600 chip. My two SATA drives that survied the fire were on the Promise T3 controller. So I guess it is possible that the adapter/HDD configuration I had with the SATA to IDE caused some sort of feedback into the Motherboard's SATA controller and back into the oter HDD on that Controller. I have checked all SATA ports since this happened and they all still work so I'm assuming that it did not damage the chip.
As far as the memory situattion I don't see how the HDD frying could have damaged the Memory unless there is some special connectin between DIMM2 and the SATA controller that doesn't exist with the other DIMM slots. and if it had somehow effected the memory controller to cause this problem I would assume it would have done alot more damage to the cpu than just the memory controller part. So I think I'll try to RMA a new motherboard, if ZippZoomFly will let me this long after getting the board I've had it for about 3.5 weeks waiting on the other parts for the new system) and see what happens.
As for the memory, itself they are not mixed brands or models. I bought one set about a year ago when I purchased my X2 6000 processor and they have worked great as long as I kept the voltage above 1.9 V. The new memory has the same model # as the old but the label on them states the same timings and only a different voltage range. So as long as they voltage was set to within the range of both sets they should work exactly the same. I did notice that the board would only detect 3.25 GB instead of 4 GB, and I was prepared for this. Every Motherboard I have ever owned, no matter who the Manufacturer was, has had this problem. However Vista reported the memory correctly.
I guess if the new motherboard exhibits the same memory problem with not letting me use all slots then i'll buy a 2X2GB set
