10.4.7 breaks Windows Sharing (Samba), please help.

After I updated to 10.4.7 from 10.4.6 on my MBP 15.4", I found myself with something consuming half my CPU. After some investigation, it turned out to be related to Windows Sharing because when this is turned off, the cycle-wasting goes away.
In particular, it appears that launchd is attempting to run nmbd, which fails and crashes, then launchd repeatedly re-starts it ad-infinitum.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd like to actually use Windows Sharing again.

As you say, the solution was posted on:

    Has your carrier been having issues with Call Display? Do the telephone numbers come up when people call, or does it just show 'Unknown Number' or 'Blocked' ?

    I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
    Anything I haven't tried?
    HELP!

    A bit confused by your statement

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

  • TS3297 I keep getting the error 306 cannot connect to the iTunes Network when downloading songs on iTunes. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps from the forums and my technical issues are still unresolved. I have Windows 7. Please help!!

    I keep getting the error 306 cannot connect to the iTunes Network when downloading songs on iTunes. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps from the forums and my technical issues are still unresolved. I have Windows 7. Please help!!

    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings  ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1490 ) and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
    For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.

    Check out the articles below to troubleshoot issues with connecting to Wi-Fi. Start with creating a new Network Location and then search for a Wi-Fi network and if that does not work, then go through second article to troubleshoot the issue further.

  • Sharing Problem -- Please Help

    Hi all,
    I am new to macs and this problem started happening yesterday afternoon. I have 2 windows machines that have shared files that I often access from my mac. My macbook pro can access the shared files on windows machine 1. Windows machine 1 can access the shared files on windows machine 2(called DESKTOP). However, when I try to connect to windows machine 2 from the mac, I get the message "The alias DESKTOP could not be opened because the original item could not be found" When I try to connect via connect to server I get the message, "Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "smb://desktop" could not be read or written.( Error code -36)
    Please help. I work from home and I am not very productive right now.
    Thank you

    The first few questions during any troubleshooting in situations like this are...
    1) What happened yesterday afternoon, just before your difficulty began (updates, new software, change in antivirus on the PC, etc)?
    2) Have you rebooted all network devices? Restart macs and PC's. Power cycle routers, switches, modems.
    We'll wait while you do point 2.
    3) try doing 'connect to server':
    SMB://desktop/[FOLDER_NAME], instead of the way you quote here.
    3a) can you ping the desktop PC from the MBP by name?
    3b) can you ping the desktop PC from the MBP by IP_address?

  • IChat Problem. A/V,Voice Chat,Screen Sharing.(Please Help)

    I have own a Macbook for a year.but never been try to use an i chat.
    and now i had a friend that just bought a Macbook last week and i ask him to create iChat account.
    Me and him using a Google Talk account.at first chat with IM,everything is ok.
    After that i try to use A/V chat,Screen Sharing and Voice chat..every time he's accept the invitation it's take a long time to process and after that it's comes out with this window. Ask me to send the report to apple about the error.I have try to do A/V chat,Screen Sharing and Voice chat so many time and its still come out with the same result..??please help me..BTW i have check all the system and program sharing.everything is goos.please again help me..

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    A year old MacBook could be running OS 10.5.x (Leopard) and iChat 4.x.x
    Or it could have come with Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and iChat 5.x.x if updated.
    Your sepcs say that you are running Snow Leopard (10.6.4)
    Can you go to the System Preferences > Security and if the Firewall is On can you go to the Advanced tab ?
    IS Allow Signed Apps in use ?
    If so has iChat been Added to the List ?
    Also Stealth needs to be Off.
    Have you allowed the ports iChat uses through your Routing device ?
    Most domestic devices only have the first 1024 ports open and iChat uses ports above this figure.
    If your device has it, Enable UPnP to open the ports.
    Nothing in System Preferences > Sharing needs to be On (Selected) for iChat to do Screen Sharing.

  • HOME SHARING PROBLEMS, PLEASE HELP

    I'm trying to use home sharing between my laptop and desktop. I have no idea what the problem is. I am able to view my laptop's library from my desktop, but it doesn't work vice versa. The computers have different OS's, could that be the problem? According to the troubleshooting, everything should be working fine. Please help.

    Try turning Home Share off then on on the MacBook Pro and then check Remote App to see if now appears and you can connect - for me it works but eventually I will have to repeat the process to get it working again.
    The four digit code method still works.
    OS 10.7.3, iTunes 10.6.1  and iOs 5.1.1
