2nd time is charm - Need sharepoints without permissions
Due to some really strange problems that had come up recently, I am rebuilding our server (OS X 10.4.x unlimited). On my Storage HD, where all user files are stored we have a limited number of folders at the root level - each with a host of user folders within each one. This time around I would like to set the main folders up so that anyone that gets access to the user folder, can read and write to any files within that folder. Before this, we have had problems where only the person that created the file or last saved it got the right to over write the file, so people were getting creative with file names and ending up with multiple versions of the file, as a result of the collaboration they were doing. They had no server for many many years and were used to anyone opening any other person's Word or Excel file(s) and they want that capability back. Users log into server, each with their own name and password. Then use Word and Excel, etc. installed on their local system to open, change, and save the files to the server.
This should be simple, but I don't deal with OS X Server very much, and that's a part of the challenge. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Currently I have selected the volume users would access and gotten info, and in the permissions area, checked the box that says "Ignore ownership on this volume" but I'm sure there is more to it than that.
TIA!
The above along with setting up the two folders as share points with inherited permissions seems to be the solution.

just received my second mbp, no whine, heat slightly higher than g4 powerbook 17, optical drive working ... looks like this one is ready to rock
just wanted to say there is a huge difference between this 17 and the original one purchased three weeks agoyesterday was day 14, went to the apple store b/c my mbp 17 gets really warm above the number keys all the way across ... the genius bar showed me where the vents blow out (same location) ... it took two weeks for the custom order (7200 rpm) to get here when I sent the first one back b/c the optical drive was freezing .. could not afford the downtiime again
just wondering if this is too hot? when i touch above say number 3 (it's hot, but not so hot that I would be "forced" to remove my finger from searing pain) seems like they all run about that .. if that's the cost of having this much portable performance in a package this small (relatively) I'm ok with it

How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Macbook says no update available.
" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -
My ipod touch (2nd generation) is stuck on the usb to itunes screen. I have NOT jailbroken it, and i have also tried restarting numerous times. I need help, soon! Itunes on my computer works about 50% of the time, so i feel lost!
Download RecBoot and see if you can kick it out of recovery mode.
Basic troubleshooting steps.

Help! I just restored my ipod touch 2nd gen cos I needed a clear out. I went to sync some music back on, and it seemed to work. However when I went into 'music' it said 'no content'. I tried syncing music 3 times and it did the same every time. Help!
Try plugging your ipod into your computer. Then start up itunes. Let it load everything. Then click on your ipod and play a song from your ipod's library. Not your itunes library. If it plays the song, then go ahead and stop it, disconnect your ipod, and check the content once again.
I had the same problem and beleive it or not, this worked. I synced my ipod like 5 times before finding this answer on the web. Let me know if I need to clerify anything. -

Can't use without connecting to iTunes? Try sending reg a 2nd time.
I finally figured out what's going on here. I was having to plug it in and launch iTunes every time I powered it on. On a whim I sent the registration info in a 2nd time. That took care of it and now the iPad can be powered on without having to connect.
To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked) -
2nd Time Capsule for redundant backup??
Currently use a 14 month old 1TB time capsule that's only about half full to do incremental backups for 2 MacBook laptops. I also use SuperDuper to create disk "clones" every month or so in case of drive failure.
I want a transparent / easy / painless backup (which I seem to have now), but am getting concerned about the Time Capsule problems I have been reading about. I know SuperDuper does incremental backups, but I like the version control that Time machine offers. I could lose a week's worth of data without too many problems, but more than that would cause quite a bit of grief to duplicate/reproduce.
I have been thinking about getting a 2nd Time Capsule, and swapping them out every week. My thought is, it would be easy to keep offsite at my office, adding another layer of protection. That after swapping out, the time machine backups would "catch up". It sounds ideal (though little expensive), but it would meet my "easy" criteria -- cables would be the same, so just unplug, plug back in and I'm done...
Big question -- will it work?
Additional questions: Same / different SSID/IP range? Problems with windows laptop, and WIFI printer?
Any input / suggestions / alternatives would be greatly appreciated!!!!mike808ec wrote:
I know there are no guarantees in life, but I'm just trying to "hedge my bets". Is there a "verify" function available? Either as an option as part of the archive process, or a seperate run after the archive has finished.
Nothing built-in.
Alternatively is there a way to test the archive? You said i could attach the drive directly to my laptop. If I do this, and Time machine recognizes the archive does that mean it's "good", or could there be corrupted files within the archive?
You can browse them, even restore some things (probably to alternate locations), but that doesn't mean there isn't something corrupted there, somewhere.
You can also run +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions), to be sure the directory structure, etc., is good.
And, of course, a backup of a backup is only as good as the original backup; if something is wrong on your TC's hard drive (or your boot drive, for that matter), the copy on the archive will be, too.
I think this is my only hesitation to this solution. As I've said I've experienced bad / corrupted copies in the past when dealing with large file transfers. Shouldn't be a problem with a new drive, but as time goes by, and the archive grows and grows...
But you will continue the SuperDuper backups, too, right? -
I've just downloaded Sophos (yesterday) and commenced the scan. It keeps stopping part way through, the 2nd time when it was about 98% completed after 4 hours!!!! I've had to start again. What could be causing this? I have Mountain Lion.
Thomas A Reed wrote:
You will be advised by people here that Sophos is "junk" and should be removed {...} Sophos actually works pretty well, in my testing, and so I would suspect that there may be an underlying problem with your file system that needs to be repaired.
FWIW, I have used Sophos regularly for several years now (including on my new iMac running Mountain Lion versions 10.8.2 & now 10.8.3) & never had any problems with it on any of the half dozen or so Macs I have installed it on.
Quite a few people automatically assume all Mac A-V software is troublesome junk, & many will leap to the conclusion it is the cause of some problem without considering other potential (& often much more likely) causes, regardless of which A-V product is installed.
Obviously I hope, not all A-V products are alike, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to condemn them all because of problems with one of them. Regarding Sophos in particular, finding first hand reports of it causing problems is quite difficult -- typically, if you ask for the details it turns out to be a second or third hand report & there isn't enough info available to know for certain if it is the real cause or not.
This is not to say it is impossible for it to cause problems, just that it is prudent to consider all the possibilities before concluding that any one of them is the cause. -
Mount AFP Sharepoint without login
Hello
Is it possible to get an AFP Sharepoint without logging in? I know its an oxymoron, that is why i did not use the word "mount".
The sharepoint must be accessible to a Leopard Server, which I do not want to have him logged in all the time.
Best regards
K.Sure. Under Settings in AFP go to Access and click the Enable guest access box. Then go to Share Points and browse to the specific share point(s) you want to share, click on Share Point (next to the Permissions tab below), click on Protocol Options, and under the AFP tab click on the Allow AFP guest access.

Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version. Error message reads "Application Application Support not found". "Uninstall and reload". I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success. Help??
I had gotten a similar problem, except with "provider services", i believe, but i solved it by copying sqlite3.dll from E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. doing that solved my first problem, but now i have been getting the error described in this topic (unable to load dataclass info... etc.). i tried reinstalling itunes (i already had 9.1.1, and thats what i reinstalled) by using the method described on apples site (using the "remove programs" tool in the control panel) and then downloading and installing itunes. when i opened it again, i still got the same error, and just now i got an error saying "the instruction at "0x00aadb6b" referenced memory at "0x00000008". the memory could not be read" it gave me the option to cancel and debug, or to press ok and terminate the program. I tried pressing cancel, and the popup went away but nothing else happened. a minute later the popup was back, so i pressed ok and itunes quit. Upon opening Itunes again, i got the very same error. sorry for the long post, but its really been bugging me. thanks for any help you might give, and if you need anymore info, feel free to contact me.

Firefox will not start; new profile fixes it for 1 time, then 2nd time its back to broken
Windows 7 x64, ff3.6.8
ff3 will not run, clicking on .exe will not begin any app in taskmanager. the most i get is when clicking ff3 from the taskbar in win7 it will flash as if it is trying to do something, but nothing happens and the flashing stops.
uninstalled ff3.6.5; reinstalled 3.6.8, still same issue.
i created a new profile and started ff3, ff3 started & i got to a generic home page. i closed ff3, copied my bookmark file from the default profile to the new profile, restarted ff3, same problem as in the beginning.
i created a new profile & again it starts up, but when i close out, even without copying the bookmarks over (i was assuming that was the corrupted file), it will not run the 2nd time.
i have done this for 7 profiles and all of them work the first time, but none will work after that even without copying any profile information from the original default profile.
in addition i cut all the profiles out of the profile folder and cc'd to another location on another drive thinking that'd prevent the default from corrupting the other files, nothing.
brief history(sorry for the long post)
I ran a windows update prior to leaving on vacation, shut the PC down & when I came back the pc wouldnt boot. reset my bios to default and finally got back into windows & it finished the update.
when i got back in, ff3 was giving me problems and kept hanging up for some reason. so i hard reset & tried to implement my OC profile in bios. i was not able to get back into windows w/ my OC profile again, so i again went back to default bios.
ever since then ff3 will not work. ie8 works fine, no viruses reported thru mse, i cant figure it out!
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.well i kinda fixed it i spose...
i deleted everything in appdata under mozilla & macromedia and deleted the plugins folder from my installation folder for ff3. uninstalled ff3, reinstalled ff3. now everything works fine. just have to redo my bookmarks & settings.
sorry to waste anyone's time...but hopefully if someone else has the problem, now they can fix it. peace. -
Brand new ideapad u300s going into depot for 2nd time in in less than a month
Hi,
I can't seem to get any help on the phone, all I get told is send the unit in. I ask to speak to a supervisor and you tell me they will call back in 24-48 hours; it's been a week. I call back and ask to speak to a supervisor and you tell me it's the weekend and none are available, maybe we can have one call you back later. This is considered lenovo support.
I bought a computer for my wife's birthday, an ideapad u300s, and the first week everything is working great. However, the LCD turns out to be faulty. So we send it in to the depot thinking no big deal they'll fix it immediately and send it back to us. However, the computer sat in the depot for over a month and we heard nothing. We called tech support and asked a for a refund or a new unit but, basically, we were just transferred, told a supervisor would call us - which they did not - and given the standard answer that they would prioritize our situation. Finally, it's repaired and in the mail.
We receive the computer everything seems fine, then my wife notices that it doesn't recognize the a/c adapter so the battery is now drained and we can't do anything. We call lenovo again they tell us send it in, I ask for them to send someone here since last time I called you tried to sell me an extra warranty after I've only had the computer for a week. Lenovo tells me that's impossible if you want someone to come onsite we have to pay for it. Fine I give up I am tired of dealing with you over the phone I am sending the computer back for a 2nd time.
My wife has used the computer all of about 2 weeks and her birthday was in late March.
I cannot understand how you can operate like this; I've never experienced such poor customer support and general apathetic attitude of your phone reps.
Simply put, I will never buy another Lenovo product again; I am sure you don't care though if it's anything like your phone support.It depends on how critical your connection is. Business customers get a much faster repair time, and are given priority over residential customers, and will pay compensation on some of their SLAs.
If you do not mind being without service for three to seven days, then the residential service should be fine, otherwise you should be on a business package, with a proper SLA (Service Level Agreement).
Its not simply the amount of usage you make of the service.
The residential service is aimed at the general public, who use it for web browsing, e-mail, gaming, and streaming services like YouTube.
You can get advise on this forum from other residential customers, but they are not going to be able to fix your faults, as this is only a customer to customer forum.
The firmware issue is discussed on a number of threads on the forum. Alternative VHDSL modem/routers are also suggested.

Problem only comes, when i send 2nd time or more. What is the problem? Please help me out.
Thanks for your response in advance. One more thing, Whether to send a mail & receive a mail, we need to create different sessions. one for sending & one for receiving mails.
Message was edited by:
Ashish.Mishra16I don't see anything obviously wrong in your code. Try adding
session.setDebug(true);
You can use the same Session for sending and for reading.
A Session just encapsulates your configuration parameters,
so as long as they're the same for both usages, one Session
is fine. -
Can I use an external drive for a 2nd time capsule backup? Other questions too
My setup:
1 Macbook Air
1 Mac mini as HTPC
1 Mac mini as a media server (5tb and growing) with external drives.
I want to get a 2tb time capsule to back up my laptop and mac mini that i use as a HTPC. Simple enough....
Since the new gen airport extremes support external drives to a time machine back up i want to plug a CineRAID device with 4 6TB drives (12gb of storage in a RAID) and use that as a backup for my media server. Could I just plug it directly into the mac mini? Yes, but i am trying to have the lest amount of clutter possible visible. So i want to put in a closet where my router is..
So can I plug in the CineRAID into the usb port for a 2nd time machine backup with massive storage?
Option 2:
Just get an airport extreme and use the CineRAID for a backup via USB...
Also, how much space does the airport extreme support? Like i said up time I am at 5tb but its growing fastSo can I plug in the CineRAID into the usb port for a 2nd time machine backup with massive storage?
There is conflicting advice about whether a RAID setup will work with Time Machine, so you can find information that will say that it will work and other info that will say that it will not. In general, Apple says that Time Machine must "see" the RAID drive as a single partition, but they also say that you need to check with the support folks at the drive manufacturer for more details.
The only way that you will know whether it will work or not on your network, is try it out on your network.
Please let us know about your results.
Just get an airport extreme and use the CineRAID for a backup via USB...
Same as above.
how much space does the airport extreme support?
The firmware on an AirPort Extreme will support up to a 4 TB drive, but I have not tried it on a larger drive, so we'll need another user to answer on that one. Here again, it would be wise to try a few "tests" before you try to backup or transfer a large amount of data.
