10.5.6 update - user cannot stay connected to server anymore!

Ugh. Here we go again, Apple! One user updated to .6 before leaving last night. Today, he can log in (local account) and now when he's connected to our XSERVE, he CANNOT save or copy files to it. he is getting constant "connection interrupted" messages. I am also looking at the Server Admin utility on the server and he's showing up multiple times as either "Disabled/Asleep" or (weird) his machine name is showing up as server-16027567 instead of the machine's actual name.
Someone, PLEASE tell me there is a simple way to roll back this update!!

Hi DevCom ,
Just wanted you to know that I've solved my "saved-over-the-network" problem by upgrading my AFP server to 10.4.11, after reading this note from Apple :
Improves Apple File Service performance, especially when using a home directory hosted on an AFP server. Important: If you are using Mac OS X 10.5.6 (client) to connect to a Mac OS X Server 10.4-based server, it is strongly recommended that you update the server to Mac OS X Server version 10.4.11.

Firefox cannot establish connection to server 127.0.0.1:1234

I want to open my bank's security and it says that firefox cannot establish connection to server 127.0.0.1:1234

I now know that a file " user.js " has been installed (probably by the Trojan) along with " user.js.BAK " in my Profiles Folder. The Support article on " user.js " says that it is never installed by default. Unless FF4 installs one (unlikely) the presence of this file explains exactly what is happening. It contains changes to the normal configuration and is read at every FF startup when it automatically transfers its content to another file in Profiles. This is " prefs.js " where all the preferences are stored. It also has a BAK file added by the Trojan: " prefs.js.BAK ".
The above Article says these files can be read by Notepad. But mine cannot. The BAK files display pure gibberish in Notepad. The parent files cannot be opened at all. They generate a Compile error. They seem heavily protected from interference.
Would somebody kindly tell me (1) What application normally opens BAK files; (2) Assuming I can do so, would it be OK to simply delete the user.js file and its backup?
Even if I have to rename them first?
With that gone, I can probably reset "prefs.js" either using "about:config" (which Preference?) or using the UI on the Tools | Advanced tab to select "No Proxy". But I am unsure about these next steps and would welcome corroboration.

HT6114 After OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Update I cannot use my Apple TV anymore.

After OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Update I cannot use my Apple TV anymore. There is a black screen. I cannot switch to the mirror option. I can use the apple tv from my iPad - so APTV is working. I have restart the computer and the apple TV.

These commands from the Terminal worked for me -
1. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities.
2. Run these commands respectively:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
I found it on Intenret. I had AirParrot Intalled before.

download with itunes, or with one of your devices, and re-try, most causes it the update server it self.

Cannot stay connected to internet

Every 2-3 days the router will not let me access the internet. get message--" you are connected to the access point but the internet cannot be found"..I fix it by unplugging the router for 15 seconds, replug and wait 2-3 minutes and I'm on line. router is SRX200. Had a linksys "b" system same location and it stayed on line for a year. I have one wired computer and 1 wireless hooked up--the wireless is really hard to get reset. The help people in India are no help on this. I'm ready to throw this in the trash bin. Appreciate any help.
SRX200, Win XP on wired comp, Win 2000 on wireless
FYI, the SRX 200 doesn't seem to have any better range or speed regardless how it's advertised

Update----the router kicked off in 24 hours.
I tried to update the firmware-it's old even though the router is new--and the router kicked off line at the last part of the firmware update. Cannot connect to anything now. Called support and they were able to get me back connected with the updated firmware. Actually did a very good job getting me connected. So we'll see if the new firmware will solve anything. FYI, the text of the update specifically mentions the "you are connected when in fact you aren't" problem

Getting a complete backup while allowing users to stay connected

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a complete backup (RMAN or otherwise) while allowing users that are connected to the database to remain connected? If so, how?
thanks,
rick

There is no such thing as a logical backup. This phrase invented by Oracle for marketing purposes isn't worth the keystrokes it takes to type it on a keyboard. Forget you ever heard it. An export can not be used to restore or recover a database.
All production databases containing information more important than your mother's cookie recipes should be in archive log mode and anything defined as a "backup" should be taken using RMAN either as a backupset or imagecopy.

Since system update my emails wont connect to server- Please help

My emails have worked fince since owning this phone, but as of 5/6 days ago the emails will no longer work. s
I have looked at the settings and still says cant connect to server, so I deleted the account from the phone to then reinstall. But now it wont connect at all and I get the error message could not open conection to server. I have also tried entering manually but still have no luck. I had a system update around the same sort of time so I ma unsure if this has effected things.
I have had to open the Hotmail app from the play stor in the mean time, but would like to get the phone working as it should as this had an email time setting so I wasnt disterbed by junk mail in the evening/night.
Please can someone advise.
Thank Jenny

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
First try clearing data for the email app under Settings -> Apps -> All -> Email -> Clear data and then restart the phone. When you then open the email app it will ask for your email address and password. Enter those but select manual setup, Exchange ActiveSync and then use m.hotmail.com as server address, your email address as user name and see if that works.

OD users cannot log on without server home directory

I am new to OD and am trying to configure a working setup for a few Macs on the network. The server is set up as an OD master, and while we are running Active Directory, the Mac server is not integrated into the AD network. DHCP and DNS are handled by the server that provides AD.
I have set up a few test users and bound a Mac to the OD server for testing. I've found that if I don't specify a home directory for a particular user in workgroup manager (i.e. I just leave it at (none)), the user cannot log on to the bound Mac. The log in window begins to slide as if it is accepting the password, then stops and shakes and brings me back to the login window without any error message. If I specify a home directory on the server, it will then accept the username and password, show that I am logging in as said user, then display the message, "You are unable to log in to the user account [user] at this time. Logging into the account failed because an error occurred."
I'm guessing the error message relates to a permissions issue with the way the home directories are set up. But honestly, I'd rather the users just have their home directories stored locally rather than on the server. How do I configure it so that the users are able to log on and their home directories are stored locally?
Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided!

After playing around with the system some more, I found that I had to explicitly specify the local home directory. I set it to /Users/ and everything seems to be working now.

Network users cannot log in to server

I have set up a new server from scratch on a new Macmini. In the main, it works absolutely fine. Users can log into the sever from client device as registered user and can share the screen with no problem.
The users are set up as local network users and are in a local group and a network group. I set them up using Workgroup manager after setting up Open directory. All users cn be seen from OD and WM. However, they cannot log in to the server directly - only the server adminstrator can do that. Home drives etc are all set up fine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Administrators always have access, you may have blocked Network Users from having access using Workgroup Manager 10.8.
Open Workgroup Manager 10.8
Authenticate to the local directory as an administrator.
Go to the machines section and select the server where users cannot log in.
Click the preferences icon to see the preferences for that computer set through WM 10.8
From the overview choose Login.
Choose the Access tab and set Manage: to Never.

After software update, users cannot log into Xserve

We have an Xserve running 10.6.7. We just did an software update and rebooted the server. Something broke and at this point, only local users can log in, such as the administrator account. None of the users in the LDAP db can log in. I cannot access their accounts from Workgroup Manager, either, because it posts an LDAP error.
We do have a full backup of that drive from 24 hours ago, but don't want to just blindly overwrite the whole drive. Are there specific files I could restore?
Or, is there a way to correct what's wrong with LDAP?

Sadly we are currently having problems with ldap and directoryservices after the 10.6.7 update. It is not the same thing you are seeing but none the less.
My advice would be to get that backup up and running. You could copy the backup to an external drive and try and boot off of it and see how that works if its ok I would revert back and hold off on updates.

Help - cannot stay connected: BT dun with Verizon Centro and Macbook Pro Leopard (Broadband access customer too)

Previously a Treo 770p user who enjoyed laptop freedom using Verizon's Broadband connect - never a problem. Now ready to throw the Centro out the window, as no amount of restarting, taking battery out, scripting changes etc. etc. etc. etc. works - everything I have tried disconnects me within seconds. Verizon of course does not support the Centro BT DUN with the Mac. But everything worked fine wiuth the Treo - why not the Centro? I am about ready to cancel my broadband access, or go back to the Treo - ugh. Not even the USB cable works with the Centro/MACbook Pro - then again it did not work with the Treo either, but the BTDUN did!
Ideas? Fixes?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

i don't know whats going on now!
airport tab is not showing green color anyway! i'ts always in yellow!
i tried turning it on and off but nothing happen! HEEELLLLPP!!!!

802.1X cannot stay connected

Went to System Preferences -> Network. Selected my Airport, clicked Advanced.
Under the tab 802.1X, selected Domain 'User'. Created a new configuration, chose Authentication TTLS, PEAP, EAP-FAST and LEAP.
Under the tab Airport. Selected the network, in the 802.1X field chose the configuration I just created.
Turn on Airport and it says status 'Authenticated' but below it flips rapidly between
'Authenticating'
'Authenticated via LEAP
Connect Time 00:00:00'
Of course I never had a problem with this in Tiger! Help!

Upgrading to 10.5.1 did the trick.
I can now connect 'Authenticated via EAP-FAST (Inner Protocol: GTC).
I am using a User level domain

After Security Update 2009-002 no connection to server

After running Security update 2009-002 I can not connect to a server, e.g. a webdisk with Apple+K command. Rebooting does not help, nor entering fresh login data.
Does anybody have a clue?
thanks in advance,
Flip

Hello Flip, and a warm welcome to the forums!
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Also remove it from the CMD+k window by highlighting it and clicking the little minus button.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Reboot, test again.
