Windows Client Logons Stop - Auth still works.

I've got this new XServe Intel in at the moment.
It's got Open Directory installed and as a Master, Runs DNS and DHCP, as well as Windows services.
Also runs Emails, IMAP and POP3.
The problem I'm having is that the Windows clients that have been joined to the domain decide to stop working, and says the password is wrong until the you go into ServerAdmin and stop Windows Services and then Start it again.
The thing is, if you try to connect to the machine using SMB from a laptop, it asks for the user and password and you can log in fine and it all works, it's just stopping the actual Logon with the Windows Clients
Emails and things still authenticate fine.
Any ideas, it's driving me nuts, I've checked out the logs with with Password Service, Open Directory, the Samba logs too. Nothing reveals anything to why it would be stopping. I changed all the logging levels to high too.
I've occasionally had PasswordService crash, but it didn't crash this time around when it stopped working.

I can think of 2 reasons why you might have this problem.
1) WINS service is either not running or misconfigured
2) The Master Browser elections are failing (this is also tied to WINS)
I would make certain that WINS is correctly configured and running, then try to find out if another computer on your network is claiming Master Browser status.
I had a similar problem in a network of all NT machines, and it turned out that one of the users was a little too smart for his own good. He had purchased his own copy of NT Server (don't ask me why....) and had installed it as a Standalone Server with a Workgroup name that matched the Domain name of the PDC. Master Browser elections were happening every 15 minutes or so, and people could use the network for about 10 minutes out of every hour.
Good luck chasing down this problem.

Windows 7 - browser stops working still connected

As the title says Windows 7, browser stops working after some time passes.
This effects IE and Chrome. I can still ping www.google.com or it's IP address. (all other computers on the network are fine)
I've used both the wired and wireless connection without the same results.
I reboot and it works, I walk away from the work station and then boom no browsing.
I've turned off the firewall, released and renewed the IP, netsh winsock reset none off this worked.
I've gone into internet options and ensure that no "proxy' boxes are checked.
I've uninstalled the network card drives and restarted the machine.
I've ran Malwarebytes (no infections), ccleaner to check for registry problems. Nothing there.
I've disabled the power saving options and uncheck "let windows turn this device off"
I've also ran Norton and Mcgafee uninstallers just be sure there aren't any residue from those installed.
No bittorrent clients
So I'm online but can't browse on this one computer? what's the deal please Help!

Ical server/client suddenly stopped working together

Hi
I have 10.6.1 server with a group calendar served on a wiki. There are multiple users using 10.6.1 macbook, using ical to display/edit the group calendar. Server has a correctly configured FQDN. Apart from some niggles (will come to later), all has been fine for the last 2 weeks - all 10.6 clients have been able to connect without problems (to FQDN:8008/principals/wikis/groupadministration ). I do not have SSL. Today, one of the clients could no longer update the group calendar or refresh it (for changes from other people).
The following is in the client system log:
iCal[278] Exception in -[CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation refreshWithExceptionHandling] :: * -[NSCFString rawInterval]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x165437f0
In the server caldavd error log:
[caldav-8009] [-] [twistedcaldav.method.propfind#error] Error reading property ('DAV:', 'current-user-privilege-set') for resource /calendars/_uids_/wiki-groupadministration/inbox/: <StatusResponse 401 Access denied while reading property {DAV:}current-user-privilege-set.>
Web access still works for this user.
There have been no changes to any set up and the user in question had no problems in the last 2 weeks, until today. I understand it just "stopped working" this morning - user can offer no further help.
In other niggles (possibly unrelated but if anyone can help):
* I have an older client, running 10.5.8 with no wish to upgrade to 10.6, as there are some software compatibility issues (Adobe CS2, Parallels 3) and no budge to update software. ical has never been able to connect to the ical server reliably - after the first update/sync, no further updates are possible.
* It is not possible to disable alarms to the group calendar in ical. Option-i, uncheck the box, and 30 seconds later the box is checked again. Each user has their own "personal" calendar in the group calendar, and some users like to have alarms. It is not possible to disable those alarms for other users.
Hope someone can help. All in all, I am not particularly impressed with SL server.

Hello all,
since yesterday I'm having the same problem. the server was even not touched the last days.
Thank you

I cannot move, resize, minimize, or close the browser window despite everything inside the window still working.

I don't know what details are needed so I'll just rattle off anything that I can think of.
I am running an Asus laptop with windows 7. I have never had an issue with firefox in the past (beyond the usual freezing and some obvious issues with pop up ads that are par for the course with firefox since adblocker never does what it says.... not really. Lets be honest.) I am using Avast for my virus protection and it is also up to date.
My issue started about an hour ago when firefox stopped responding. The video I had playing kept going but I could not interact with anything. Assuming the program froze for the billionth time that week I rebooted it. This has always solved freezing issues in the past. Now, however, firefox is doing something new.
I can access the menus and almost everything on the window itself except for the minimize/maximize/close buttons, I cannot move the window at all, and I cannot manually resize it. I have also noticed that although videos will play, I can only click on their buttons if there is another smaller window overtop of firefox. The video controls will only appear that way and when I click them firefox naturally comes to the front and the video responds with the button I used but the buttons are gone again and I cannot resume playing without the smaller window back in front to make the buttons show again.
It's as if half of firefox is frozen while the other half is still running somehow.
I have no themes that could be causing this. Literally none. I only use firefox for the things that can no longer be opened in Opera so I have no need for any theme beyond default. The only addons I installed on purpose were adblockers (lord knows why. they don't DO anything.) though several other random things seem to have been installed over time to aid in one thing or another. Various plugins and players and versions of java, that sort of thing. But I have everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) in the addon menu disabled.
I have tried booting it up in safe mode (the program, not windows) and the problem is still there except now it won't show the menu bar at all unless I press the alt key first and even then it wont let me actually click on anything in the menu bar. When I try the whole bar vanishes. I had to close firefox with the task manager.
Rebooting will fix the issue for about 15 seconds before it all comes back.
Any attempts at updating have failed as it says I am already up to date on everything so I don't know what its issue is.
It's not an urgent issue right now as most of what i need to do can be done on the half screen window I am using, but some of my sites have buttons that literally vanish in anything but full screen and I imagine that this will be a much greater annoyance within a few days.

After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with a SSD for system. Restored drive from backup. Now logon password doesn't work. Account password still works. Changing password in user group preferences no longer works to change logon password.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with SSD for system drive. Drive stopped booting, but otherwise appeared healthy. Restored from system backup. Now drive seems to work properly, BUT my logon password no longer works. Password OK for account; can access system preferences, and change user password there BUT logon still refuses to accept password. No luck changing password for that account after adding new administrator account and logging on from that account. Suggestions? Thanks.

If you redirect Accounts to another location (not on the Boot Drive) you need to direct them back there again after a restore.
SystemPreferences > Accounts/User&Groups > ...
... Unlock the lock, then hold down Control as you click on an Account to get access to the Advanced Options pane.

Webcam stopped working for one user, still works for another user

I'm using 2 userprofiles on my laptop.
For 1 user, webcam software works as expected.
For 2nd user webcam stopped working.
For this user:
- Autostart Webcamsoftware doesn't work (traybar).
- Manual start doesn't work either.
- I can see that for each attemt, conhost.exe is started but no traybar.
- In systray i see the icon appearing but after some secs, it disappears.
- In syslogs, following error is shown:
Naam van toepassing met fout: traybar.exe, versie: 1.5.4002.79, tijdstempel: 0x46e9fe5c

I use my laptop for both private and office. Therefore i created a userprofile for home and another for the office.
Both userprofiles have different settings/desktops/etc.
Meanwhile i did the following:
- boot and logon with primary profile (working webcamsoft)
- uninstalled the program
- used CCClean to cleanup registry (and other stuff)
- reboot and logon with secondary userprofile
- used CCClean to cleanup registry (and other stuff)
- reboot and logon again with primary userprofile
- install the webcam software
- reboot and logon with primary userprofile
- test webcamsoft, it works
- reboot and logon with secondary userprofile
- webcam still doesn't work
any suggestions???

Outlook Sync Client has stopped working

Running the latest iTunes, new iPhone 4 and Outlook 2010 (incluing Outlook connector for Hotmail sync) on Win7 64 bit.
Sync to iphone process fails if attempting to sync any Outlook content. Windows reports an appcrash, with the message "Outlook Sync Client has stopped working". However, Internet Explorer favourites do Synch fine.
I have run scanpst.exe on my .pst files(as suggested elswhere) to no avail. I'm completely stumped - does anyone know how to rectify this???

Phone field issue: When I add a contact on the iPhone from Google Maps (like I find a restaurant I like), I use the Add to Contacts option. It adds it. But when I sync to MobileMe, the phone doesnt come over. I found that the iPhone by default uses a phone field called Other or Default or Main that MobileMe doesn't like.
Being that Apple makes the iPhone AND MobileMe, you would hope this would all work. To fix, I edit the contact on the iPhone and change the field name from Other to Work, and then it syncs fine.
No big deal, but a bit annoying.
No, task synchronization is strangely absent from the whole iPhone experience. (sigh).
Notes are synced with iTunes. MobileMe doesn't do Notes. It does Calendar, Contacts, eMail, and you can upload pictures/videos from your iPhone, and soon you will be able to access online storage.
You can also try Google Sync. Google syncs calendar and contacts. They too have a phone field problem. Contacts with 4 or 5 phones only have 2 or 3 come over (at least it did it for me when I tried it). The best part of Google Sync is that it is free. MobileMe costs money, but it also has a very cool Find my iPhone feature. You can go to the MobileMe website and it will locate your iPhone if you lose it, and give you the option of a remote wipe of all data. Very nice.

Sys.utl_http stopped working in batch; still works in APEX?

We have a package in Oracle 11gR1 that runs a nightly "job" to produce reports; it is designed to call the Oracle Reports server via URL and create a report as pdf, then save it to a directory in the Oracle LINUX filesystem. The call in the output procedure is simple:
           MY_URL :=
'http://refugee1.dcf.state.fl.us:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=repRefugeeTest&report=DELIVERABLE_RPT.rdf&destype=FILE&desformat=pdf&userid=ruser/collins@RPD&desname=/app/oracle/external_files/official_reports/MAY_2014_DELIV.pdf&contract=XK030&report_beg_d=05/01/2014&report_end_d=05/31/2014&subc=&sticker=OFFICIAL REPORT';
            UTL_HTTP.SET_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT (180);
            MY_HTTP_RTN := UTL_HTTP.REQUEST (MY_URL);
            UTL_HTTP.SET_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT (60);
This Oracle package has worked for years with user RPD, until we moved up some rdf and report package changes yesterday. These same four commands still work fine using APEX (with user APEX_PUBLIC_USER) in a windows-based browser (Firefox and IE), but this command UTL_HTTP.REQUEST does not produce output anymore from the Oracle package (with user RPD) and throws no exception. There is no job in the Oracle Reports queue (exception or not) to show that the request was passed. And, if I paste the string of MY_URL into a windows-browser, then it runs and Oracle Reports shows the job. I'm stumped! Please help shed light on the mystery; how can I trace or trap what's (not) happening?

"Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" Error Message Loop upon Startup of WIndows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Ok I have a HP Touchsmart 6000 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. It is my 74 year old mothers computer and about 3 months ago it started acting up. First thing that happened was the internal DVD Burner started working intermitently, recognizing
her QuickBooks backup DVD files occasionally. I got her a new internal DVD burner and it worked for a while. during that time on Startup Help and Support would all of a sudden popup right away. Then recently Adobe Acrobat would
launch a PDF file about Flash and keep opening multiple instances of it. Now her new DVD doesnt work again and on startup at the windows desktop she gets an error "Windows Explorer has Stopped Working". No matter what I click the error
keeps looping. No program has been opened that causes it to crash because the error happens immediately and keeps repeating. I have tried to boot to Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking and have tried System Restore to no avail.
I have ran Malwarebytes Antivirus, Malwarebytes AntiExploit, AntiRootkit as well as Combofix. I have run the AntiMalware software from Microsoft and have updated all the drivers for the HP system. To no succcess.
At one point the system did load and an error came up JAN2OSD failed to start due to missing ACPI or something like that. For that brief moment Explorer stopped crashing. When I finished updating driverss though the error came back.
Please Help as she is about to cry and no one wants to make a 74 year old woman cry.:)
Thanks,
Jeff

Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all videos and resync
