10.6.2 Still no fix for SMB connection issues

Sorry folks 10.6.2 has not resolved the issue with connecting to a Windows(yuck) server using SMV where the share has multiple mapped drives. Seems to work fine for connecting to a single shared drive where it did not before but multiple drives still a no no.
Roll on 10.6.3!

Hi Direwolf8
It's the same issue that most people are having in a number of other threads.
Basically in the Finder if you select a network drive (or in the printers dialog windows shared printer) that has a number of named shares in it you can only connect to it once. For example:
We have a file print server - called FP. On FP are a number of mapped drives. (Databases, General, Departments etc). In the list of Shared locations (left column of any Finder Window) if I select FP and the drive I want it connects and lets me view the files. However if I close this Window or try to connect to another shared drive it times out and doesn't even show a list of the shared drives on the FP.
The only work around is to use: go/connect to server and then smb://ip_address:139 (from http://www.macwindows.com/snowleopard-filesharing.html#090209d ) However in this work around you have to select ALL the drives you may wish to connect to and have them mounted on your desktop. If you close the connection or want to connect to a different share it times out. Leaving you needing to restart.
The other work around touted of using a fully numeric password is not an option (according to our IT department)
It's the same with network printers. You connect to the server with the printers on it and set up a printer. If you want to add another printer on the same server you have to restart to get it to show the list again.
I know its not a server set up issue as I have 3 Leopard Macs (10.5.8) running and connecting fine. Its defo a Snow Leopard thing.
I was really hoping this issue would go away with 10.6.2 but denied!
If anyone has got this working PLEASE post your solution here. Its the only thing stopping me from Upgrading my Mac Pro to Snow Leopard!
Appreciate any help anyone can offer on this!

  • A POSSIBLE FIX FOR RE1000 CONNECTION ISSUES!

    My Amazon Review for the Linksys RE1000:
    I have been an Amazon customer for several years and this is my first review ever. I'm only taking the time to post this review due to my utter frustration with this product.
    Here are the bullet points of my experience.
    1) I consider myself to be extremely tech savvy and pride myself on having the patience to eventually get technology to work.
    2) I have purchased two of these units. I returned the first one out of frustration (also wanted to rule out a defective unit) and spent countless hours trying to make the second one work. As many reviewers have stated this unit constantly drops the router/internet connection. Mine never lasted for more than two minutes at best. It just constantly cycled the connection on and off over and over again.
    3) Linksys Tech Support is provided by foreign nations and proved totally worthless.
    4) I literally tried every tech suggestion I could find online via Google. I did my best to leave no stone unturned assuming somewhere there had to be an answer. If you can find a suggestion online, believe me, I tried it.
    5) After 6 hours with my second unit, VICTORY! Through a rigorous trial and error process I FINALLY GOT MY UNIT TO WORK!!!
    6) My solution (not sure if it's going to be everyone's): 1 - Flash the unit with the most updated firmware via the support site (using an Ethernet cable). 2 - Download the auto setup program from the Linksys website and run it following all the instructions. 3 - Here's the MAGIC TRICK that worked for me. Once you have it set up and running you are free to change any setting in the firmware EXCEPT "WPS" under "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" which is under "Basic Wireless Settings". I REPEAT in the "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" under "Basic Wireless Settings", "WPS" must REMAIN ENABLED and LEFT SET AS IT IS during the auto setup. 4 - Use a static IP address and 20 Mhz only for channel width to ensure a stable connection and to minimize wireless interference. 5 - Verify the proper strength and quality of the signal under "WLAN Statistics" and reposition the unit (and/or change the router channel) as necessary.
    7) I have TESTED this multiple times, turning the WPS on and off repeatedly. My connection drops or stays active based ONLY upon this setting (even after plugging and unplugging the unit from the electrical socket). I can literally set my watch by it. No other setting has this negative effect and I've changed them all.
    8) I suspect half of the reviews are positive regarding this unit because many are simply using the auto setup successfully and then leaving their settings untouched. Unwittingly touch the wrong setting (WPS) and you're back to square one with a useless gray box.
    9) This unit has the potential to be an excellent product, instead it's a nightmare to deal with. My guess is it's a victim of lousy firmware and lousy quality control via Linksys. The shame is it could probably be quickly fixed with a simple firmware update.
    10) I hope this review helps others with their frustrations. I'd be curious to know.

    PS: One last tip! If you really want to play it safe, be sure set your router's LAN IP address to anything other than 192.168.1.1 (use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.107.1 for example). That is the default address for the RE1000 and it's been known to cause an IP conflict with many routers that use the same default IP address. Apparently changing the static IP address on the RE1000 is not enough, as the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 still adheres to the RE1000 (hidden somehow) even after the fact for some unknown reason.

  • Fix for wireless connection issues on MacBook Pro - reinstall OS!

    I hope this helps some of you out there.
    I was having all the usual problems with connectivity with the MacBook Pro I bought in January 09. It dropped the signal constantly and if I closed the top, it would make me search for my network again then it would give me the "connection timeout message" over and over again. I couldn't get anything done either at home or anywhere else. I finally took it in to the genius bar but they couldn't replicate the problem so I was sent home. The guy did, however, suggest reinstalling the OS (which I thought was a dumb idea since it had to be the airport card right?). Since it was a week away from the release of Snow Leopard I waited.
    Once I installed Snow Leopard all was fixed. It has now been almost 2 weeks and I haven't lost a signal once - the difference is amazing. I feel liberated!!
    Try a reinstall or upgrade to 10.6. and good luck. Post here to let us know if it works for you. Don't forget to backup your date first!

    Nope I'm not trying to tether.  I would like to be able to use a wifi connection on my mac and other devices.  I've gotten by so far just hooking up my mac to the ethernet port, but that requires me to be in my room.  I know its possible since there a bunch of networks nearby (locked of course), but I just can't figure out how to get mine working.
    I'm living in an apartment across the street from campus that is sort of school-owned...well its private but the internet service is provided by the campus since only students live here.  So we have to register anything that we want to use on the school's network.  On campus I can use wifi on my mac or iphone.  Its troubling how I can use the ethernet cable just fine, but when I connect it to my router (which I registered through the school as well)...nothing.  Technically this should be working easily - but maybe you're right on the network security accessability...or maybe my router is old...or my mac doesn't like my router?  I've had this problem before during my undergrad years except I was dealing with a cable provider and not the school.
    Maybe I should just make friends with my neighbors and find out how they set up theirs haha.

  • IOS 6.0.1 update still no fix for App Store Purchased section

    iOS 6.0.1 update still no fix for App Store Purchased section. Keep crashing after few seconds and kicked back to home.
    Does apple even aware of this problem???

    Hi, thanks for your comment.
    The steps that I have dines so far is similar to you I think.  I have all so tried a restore on all my devices running 6.0.1 and still nothing.  Have spoke to staff in an Apple shop and they were no help at all and kind said it was my devices that had the issue and nothing to do with anything at Apples end.  Have all s spoke to staff in a premium retail seller of Apple products and again, no he,o what so ever.    I think it's clearly a issue at Apples end with the serves sending out that data when request.  IOS6 is full of bugs and runs so slow it silly. 
    I'm thinking that Android is the way the forward after all the problems I've had with iOS6.

  • Fix for cannot connect to iTunes store

    I have been working on this problem (iTunes for Windows) since April 2012 and finally got it working. I have gone through all the suggested "advanced" trouble shooting procedures with no luck. I even tried opening a work order with them which was a waste of time because they had me retry everything I had already tried and never read my responses. I am attaching all my notes on what I have tried since the beginning. What I think was the issue all along was .net 4. The fix was listed in 12-03-12 where I removed everything, including .net 4, installed an earlier version back when iTunes was still working. I am now running version 11.0.1.12 and it is still working, Good Luck!
    ===============================================================
    12-05-12
    Updated to latest version of iTunes 11.0.1.12
    Windows had put back .net ver 4
    Did repair of .net 4 from control panel, add/remove programs
    Did repair of iTunes from control panel, add/remove programs
    Went to store tab, review my Apple ID, it displayed my account info
    From there went to the music icon, selected one of the drop down options
    Store displayed all the music in that category
    Store is still working
    ===============================================================
    Fixed 12-03-12!!!
    Removed iTunes, all the apple crap, bonjour and QuickTime
    Rebooted and reinstalled an earlier version of  iTunes ver 10.3.1 9 (still didn't work)
    Removed .NET (it was ver 4)
    Rebooted and retried iTunes, still no iTunes store.
    Removed iTunes ver 10.3.1, rebooted and reinstalled iTunes ver 10.3.1 with no .NET stuff at all and it worked.
    So iTunes didn't need the .NET stuff to work but it must have been corrupted in a way that won't let it connect to the iTunes store correctly.
    Next I am going to upgrade to the latest version without .NET to see if it still works. If not I will fall back.

    When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer.  There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day.  The iTunes app was downloaded the same day.  Since day 1 I have not been able to connect.  I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

    From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
    A new window opens and I get the following message:
    This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
    Please review your account information
    So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
    Welcome to the iTunes Store
    With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
    To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
    So I click on 'Continue'
    A pop up window says:
    We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store.  Please try again later.
    And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
    After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops

  • A Fix for Wireless Connection Problems

    I’ve been struggling with connection problems for a week. Thankfully, I found a fix. Your mileage may vary, but this may be your answer:
    Fix for Wireless Connection Problems on MacBook Pro

    Yeah BR, please tell me what your cure is. I have the same setup as you, Vista with the same wireless card you have. Cannot stay connected to the internet. Have spent hours on the phone with tech support and they can't fix it. I hate this f....ing computer, will never buy another one. Please let me know what you did. Once I get it running right I'm selling it and will buy a cheap Dell, never have any problems with them. I have keyboard problems, capital letter problems, connection problems, and download can take 1 to 2 days. Pure BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi JBKL, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    For the Ethernet Location... Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations?
    It may be that the Router needs a Firmware update to keep up with the OS Updates... check online, don't trust any automatic checking feature in the Router.
    Where are we now?

  • Still no fix for superdrive not reading any disc at all?

    I've searched through the forum and it seems like there's still no solution for the superdrive not reading any sort disc at all. I have had this imac for almost a month. I rarely have used the superdrive but was trying to play a normal audio cd tonight and upon further investigation found that the drive is not reading any type of disc.
    If a disc is loaded, the drive whirs/beeps 4-5 times while trying to read the disc and then ejects it. this happens for dvd movies, audio cds, osx install disc, etc.
    I did successfully play and rip some cds a few weeks ago when the imac was first purchased. I have not inserted discs often enough in the past to substantiate that upgrading to 10.4.5 or 10.4.6 affected the drive's performance.
    Think I need a new drive or could this be software related?
    imac intel core duo 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I want "solved"
    You can add me to the list too - I check this page frequently for a reply from an apple representative - to no avail.
    My computer is less than 2 years old, purchased brand spankin' new, w/o the warrantee - but hey when you pay that much for your 'puter it should not break down at ANY time during (at least) the first 5 years, unless gross negligence and disregard is involved (which is is not).
    I would not categorize myself as being in the 'high usage' category for burning either dvd's or cd's, but here I am less than 2 yrs after purchase w/ a superdrive that can't even read a store-bought cd, and oddly enough the problems I am having DO seem to coincide w/ download of a 'security update.'
    Hmmmm......
    I would like, at the very least, a helpful suggestion from someone working for Apple - if not an acknowledgement of an actual issue with a faulty (expensive) product.
    A guarantee of satisfaction with a purchase should not be wrapped up in purchase of a service plan - good customer service is good policy, and should be provided as a means of standing behind the quality of a product you both sell, and believe in.
    There is no good reason why my computer should be broken, and there is no good reason why it shouldn't be fixed - and I see a lot of you have even more reason for complaint than I do. It is irksome in the extreme that this issue seems not to warrant the attention from anyone who can make a difference to our plight.
    One would think that a drop-down menu on an official web-site would have a better response rate from affiliated 'professionals' - but we all know the old adage about assuming...
    Hey - maybe customer service really is dead - and I might believe that if it weren't for the fact that I respond, personally, to customer e-mails on a daily basis...
    Where is our response?
    I apologize for the lengthy "blog" - but short and sweet hasn't done the trick..maybe this will?? We can only hope...

  • Is there still no fix for airtunes?

    can not get airtunes to work at all with airport express. the speaker thing in the bottom right of itunes doesnt even show. ive seen posts for fixes for macs, but nothing for xp. and ive not seen anyone else complaining about it.. did i miss a fix or something?

    Hi itsjustnoise,
    Welcome to the forum! I trust you've tried the basics? In Airport admin (which I'm sure you have a form of on the XP side). Open it up, click configure on your AEX. You'll see tabs for Airport, Internet, Networking, Port Mapping, Access Control, WDS, and Music. Click "Music." Make sure you've checked "Enable Airtunes on this base station"
    Over in your iTunes music player, go to preferences, make sure under the "Advanced" tab, in the "General" section, you have clicked "Look for remote speakers connected with Airtunes"
    Check that. If still no love, I can't help you any farther.
    Good luck

  • Still no fix for Thunderbolt front facing camera?

    I have tried all the online known fixes for this issue , clearing data, restarting phone, removing all other camera applications, and still cannot get my front facing camera to work on my Thunderbolt. As soon as I select the front facing camera, the application closes-without any error message-and brings me to the home screen. What is going on? I was able to use it this Spring, and then all of a sudden I can't use it anymore. Please help.

    This has to be an VZW OTA error or something, because my Moto Droid and my kid's HTC Droid's front-facing camera stopped working almost simultaneously.  Very suspicious that would happen under any circumstances.
    Before you do a hard reset, try this:
    Pull the SD card and your camera should start to work again. 
    After that, you can put the SD card back in, and it should still be working.

  • Still no fix for Photoshop Install / Update Error? (Exit Code 15 - inconsistency in installer db)

    I have tried every suggested fix to no avail... what gives Adobe?
    - Removed all versions of Photoshop
    - Started in safe mode
    - Used cleaner tool
    - Used plist method
    All apps update except Photoshop and I can't install at all on other MacBook Pros.
    Can we please get a fix for this? So many threads on this topic from other customers!!!

    After using the Adobe Clean tool, I checked its output log and it mentioned it couldn't find a "caps.db" in the Common Files/Adobe/caps/ folder under Program Files or Program Files (x86).
    So what I did: I manually deleted the Adobe folders from:
    - Program Files
    - Program Files (x86)
    - Program Files (x86)/Common Files
    After that, I was able to install successfully Photoshop CS5.1 and at this very moment I'm able to install PS CS6 (it's been already 50% of the installing progress).
    So far, this action of deleting the Adobe folders from my Program Files folders seems to be sorting out the matter...

  • Does Security Update '07-004 have fix for ethernet networking issues?

    Folks:
    Have some posts trying to find out why my now 10.4.9 iBook won't connect to my still happy with 10.1.5 iMac using IP/TCP Connect to server methods. And after some digging I found a number of threads that mention a specific bug that is causing this problem. Rather than spending time to bring peripherals that aren't overused up to 1049 specs--I'd like to know if the recent security update -004 contained the necessary patch so that an Apple computer could connect to another Apple computer? Or, is the info at the thread "How to install just AppleFile Server" still the current fix for this problem? Meaning a command line procedure to fix the issue, which may or may not be easy--but which is completely unknown to me--I don't know who this "Darwin" fellow is or is supposed to be. Thoughts?

I have read that info before, it's linked from Software Update, but my knowledge of what each of those items is, is not enough to tell me whether it would, or has addressed this "alleged" "issue" that I and others are having trying to connect our computers--from 10.4.9 to any other, I guess, "alien" system; in my case, 10.1.5. This "problem" was posted on this forum earlier in the month--perhaps that is not long enough for mr Apple to get it into a Security Update?

  • Fix for WebHelp output issues with IE 11 breaks Search function

    I use RoboHelp HTML 9 and have been having issues with generated WebHelp in IE 11. The TOC was totally blank and the Search tab looked fine but did not function. Everything worked fine in Firefox. After much experimenting and online research in these forums and elsewhere, I have been able to get the TOC to display properly in IE 11 (and Firefox) but the fix has caused the Search tab to stop functioning as per this other forum post RH9 Webhelp Search function is not working properly.
    I need to have BOTH TOC and Search displayed and functioning properly but in order to get the TOC displayed properly I had to change the Preferred Format setting to "Pure HTML" and, according to the post mentioned above, that is what messes up the Search function. Is there a solution that will allow both TOC and Search to function properly?
    Here is a summary of the steps I have taken to get to this point:
    Tested WebHelp output from two different projects of my own as well as the Salesbuilder starter project - all would display/function properly in Firefox but not in IE 11 (blank TOC and non-functioning Search).
    Found a "patch" for RH10 for the exact problem I was having with RH9 but was not able to find a version for RH9. Since the patch included 2 files (whutils.js and whver.js) only, I backed up these files in the RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock directory and replaced them with the new ones.
    Regenerated one of my RoboHelp projects - still didn't work in IE 11 and now didn't work in Firefox either!
    Tried turning on Mark of the Web but this did not help and would not allow opening PDF's which is necessary to one of the projects so I turned it off again.
    Changed Preferred Format setting to "Pure HTML" instead of "DHTML" and the TOC displayed and functioned properly in IE 11 and Firefox! Hurray!!
    Celebrated for 10 seconds until I clicked on Search tab and saw the input box filled with letters of the alphabet with other random letters, words, numbers below. It looks almost like an index but neither of my projects uses an index and I have not generated one in either project.
    Found the post mentioned above which states that the solution is to change the Preferred Format setting back to DHTML but when I do that I am back to blank TOC and proper-looking but non-functioning Search!!!
    I have now removed the Search tab from the output of one of the projects since it is not really necessary but I need to find a fix for this for my other project.
    Both of my projects are run locally - one is release documentation that is distributed on a CD and the other is CSH which is loaded on the local server with the software for which it was created.

    Note to Administrators: Sorry, but I originally posted this as a reply to a previous post - Contents, Index, & Search do not display in generated help... - so perhaps it should be removed from that thread to avoid confusion.

    The "preliminary" fix provided has worked perfectly! All versions of my WebHelp project now display TOC properly and I was able to change the Preferred Format setting back to DHTML so the Search tab both displays and functions as it should. I am very grateful to William for providing this fix which works in both IE 11 and Firefox. Someday I will pursue the fixes to make it work in Chrome as well.

  • Is there a fix for the 'mute' issue when receiving/makings calls?  I can hear them but they can't hear me..

    I've read about this being a common issue with the iPhone 4S, particularly with iOS 5.1.1.  I spoke with someone at apple tech support and did a hard reset - no luck.  She mentioned that replacing the phone was a possible solution but I'd rather use that as a last resort - I haven't heard the greatest things about turn around time with apple's warranty.
    Is there a fix for this?  The person on the other end (whether it's an outbound or an inbound call) can't hear me at all.  I can hear everything fine.  Speakerphone works fine.  Facetime works fine.  Checked my mute button, on/off/on/off, no luck.  Checked all my settings and can't figure it out.
    Any ideas?

    I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple.  I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it.  Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours),  I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
    I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway).  Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent.  I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
    Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something.  Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.
