3ds max can't save to lion server, 3ds max can't save to lion server

I know there have been many discussions in the past few weeks.
Please if any one can help me with a sollution or work around I will appreciate it.
We have a mac mini server and both mac's and windows in the office.
All work perfect except 3ds max can't save or open files from the lion server. All other programs work perfect from the windows machines to the lion server.
Anybody found a solution yet?

No I'm still going around in circles. It's infuriating, everything else is working fine, I just have this one issue with the .max files.
I phoned Apple yesteday, hoping that they may help as we have an AppleCare Protection Plan that supposedly has software support. They have not managed to help in anyway, and have suggested that I take out some kind of cross platform support at extra cost, although they may not be able to help either.
They are saying it is third party software vendors responsibility to sort out a fix, which annoys me, as we haven't changed the third party software, we've upgraded the server and now our workflow is broken. I have read of other people that have contacted Autodesk about the issue and they have said that the problem is down to Apple using their own SMB in Lion Server, but haven't mentioned any kind of fix/workaround.
I don't know whether switching the servers SMB off and running SMBup may help. It's not something I really want to do, but I'm really running out of ideas.

Lion Server and 3DS Max files

Hi,
We have just gone from using an Xserve running 10.4.11 with an attached Xraid, to a Mac Mini Server running 10.7.3 and an attached Promise Pegasus R6 12TB Thunderbolt raid.
Everything is fine except one thing. The PC users running a mixture of Windows XP and Windows 7 can no longer open their 3DS Max (.max) files. I have had a search around and it seems that other people have encountered the same problem, but as far as I can make no one has found a solution. They just get a File Open Failed message.
If anybody has come across and resolved this problem or could offer any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Apple should be brought up on UI crimes for the mess that is permissions in Lion. It is easy once you understand what they are doing and where the tools are hidden.
So first, ignore the File Sharing tab as it is useless and feature poor. Instead, do this:
1: Launch Server.app
2: Select your server under the Hardware section in the left column.
3: Click on the Storage tab
4: Drill down to find the parent folder of your share point
5: Use the Gear popup menu to access the Edit and propagate features
This shows an example. When you choose the Edit Permissions... option, you will see a window like the following:
The three entries are the POSIX permissions. They represent UNIX Owner (root), Group (Wheel), and Everyone (Other). This is an EXAMPLE Folder. Yours will be different. These permissions do not inherit! If you change the group from Wheel to staff, it will mean nothing in relation to the permissions. You must ADD another entry to the table. The new entry is an Access Control Entry and establishes an ACL (access control list). The ACL will inherit if defined as such.
So in this example, say you have a folder owned by the local admin and by the admin group. Press the + button and then set that group to your departmental group. Then set permissions to Read/Write. Press OK. This will return you to the main window. Click on the Gear button again and choose propagate permissions to cascade the new permission set through all existing files.
You should disconnect clients and then reestablish a new sharing session to ensure you are seeing the proper permissions model.
Apple should be ashamed at the poor job of showing the difference between POSIX and ACLs. This is really a step backward as compared to older versions of server.

Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

Can't write/save files to Lion server after upgrading to Yosemite

So I updated my "home" computer to Yosemite, I always test new OS on this computer for issues first as to not affect the all important "work" computer. Only issue I can find is I can't save/write files to my mac server running 10.7.5 (lion). It seems I have dissappeared from permissions. I can't add me back in because my mac on 10.10 states I don't have permission to do that (mind you I am admin on everything). I go to my work computer that is still on Mavericks and everything is fine, I can write to the server with no issues.
Any ideas on where I should look to fix a setting that seems to have gone awry? It was late last night and I was getting tired of figuring out what to fix.
I do see "me" for that "home" computer on the server....just not showing on the "home" computer itself.
Than

By looking at your post i have several questions to ask :
Where are the temporary files stored ?
Which data sharing scheme are you using for them ? AFP with POSIX or ACL behaviors, something Indesign uses ?
Which versions of indesign are you using ? Some differences exists in between PPC installs and Universal install and may play havoc with that.
There might as well be the question of ownership and rights that may differ as mentionned above in between your G5 workgroup and the MacPro.

How can I configure Lion server to accept inbound VPN (L2TP) connections while connected as client to another vpn service?

I have what I believe to be a unique need;
I have a MacPro (1,1) running Lion with Server app.
I require that this particular machine be connected as a client to a VPN server, while at the same time acting as a VPN server for my network.
The PPTP connection configuration is such that "Send all traffic over VPN connection" is checked.
If PPTP client is NOT connected, I can connect to Lion as VPN server. As soon as I make the connection from Lion as a client, I can no longer
connect to Lion VPN server.
I understand this is because I am forcing all traffic out the virtual interface (tun0) and eth0 is no longer listening on the local network.
1. Is it possible to bind the VPN client (on Lion Server) to a particular interface? If I could tell the PPTP client to only use eth1 as the interface of choice, my assumption would be that eth0 would then be free to accept incoming connections.
2. Is it possible to bind the VPN service (on Lion Server) to a particular interface? if I could tell the vpn serviec to only listen on eth1, and in turn tell the PPTP client to NOT communicate on eth1 but only eth0 then perhaps I could separate the communications?
In my head, it seems as though both of the above options would be required in order to use Lion as both a VPN server and VPN client
Any and all help appreciated.

This is a standard facet of most VPNs - the problem lies in your NAT router since both clients appear to come from the same IP address as far as the VPN server is concerned, and the router can't separate out the traffic.
There are a couple of solutions.
First, the built-in VPN server supports L2TP and PPTP protocols. You should be able to connect one system under each protocol, so that gets your two machines connected.
Second, you can replace your NAT router with one that supports multiple VPN clients (often termed 'VPN passthrough').
Third, setup a site-to-site tunnel so that your entire LAN is connected to the VPN (this saves you from having to run a separate VPN client on each machine, but is typically only worth it when you have more machines).

Lion Server: iOS 5 clients can't connect to Address Card Server

I have set up shared accounts on the server for Calendar and Address Book (family) sharing. Although I can add and use the Address Book shared account on OS X Lion clients, I can't get this to work on iOS 5 clients (iPhone nor iPad). I keep on getting "CardDAV account verification failed".
Calendar sharing works just fine on both OS X and iOS5 clients
Let me briefly describe my setup and observations:
Server:
Running Lion Server 10.7.2 on Mac Mini (server)
Using SSL connections with keys generated during set-up of the server
Portforwarding in router (ao) for 8008 and 8843 (iCal and Address Book)
Created shared accounts on server for Calendar ("sharedcalendar") and Address Book ("sharedcontacts")
In the DNS server I created services in my primary zone for "_caldavs._tcp." and "_carddavs._tcp." both on port 8443
OS X Client (Calendar)
Created additional CalDAV account in preferences (user "sharedcalendar")
Left the server settings untouched (server path, port "auto" and using SSL but not Kerberos)
Created in "sharedcalendar" different calendars and reminder lists for the family members which each can access from their OS X client
This account is now set-up through Profile Manager (tried this with Address Book as well but didn't make any difference)
iOS 5 Client (Calendar)
Once tested on standalone and got this working I'm now using the Profile Manager to push the definition of the shared account to all clients
Hostname with port 8443 (default)
Left Principal URL blank since it was optional
User "shared calendar" with the appropriate password
Ticked "Use SSL"
OS X client (Address Book)
Created additional CardDAV account in preferences (user "sharedcontacts").
Left the server settings untouched (port 443 using SSL)
iOS 5 client (Address Book)
In the settings add a CardDAV account (server, user "sharedcontacts", password, description).
First error message "Cannot connect Using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?". When I press continue I get the error "CardDAV account verification failed"
If I then save the account details still and edit the account I can access the "advanced settings". When I change to SSL I have tried port 0 (default value), 8443 (the one that's listed in the documentation) and 8843 (which is used by default if you try to set up the
account in Profile Manager). All to no avail, including Profile Manager
Observations:
Lion Server app nicely lists both Calendar and Address Book Server as active (plus Profile Manager, File Server, Web server and Wiki server)
When I access my server home page, Calendar is listed in addition to other services (Mail | Calendar | Change Password | Profile Manager) but not Address Book. Is this normal behaviour? i.e. can't Address Book entries be changed through a web interface?
Address Book on OS X client uses 443 for SSL but does not require me to define port 8443 for secure iCal or Address Book server communications
Lion Server Profile Manager specifies port 8843 as port for SSL communication. I only saw 8443 listed in documentation
The response "can't connect .." or "account verification failed" happens very quick which make me think either the verification doesn't even leave the iPad or there is something wrong in the SSL connection
Since iCal set-up works nicely using the same ports I am puzzled why it doesn't work for Address Book
Your solutions or suggestions how to investigate are most welcome,
Erik

Thanks for joining the discussion.
Although port 8443 is mosten quoted as correct port for CalDAV and CardDAV, port 8843 can be found both on Apple's website and other places:
see Technical Note 1649 to find port 8443 listed for iCal and port 8843 for Address Book
Mac OS X Lion Server for Dummies (sic) lists port 8843 on pages 236 and 238 but port 8443 in many other places
when you want to push iCal and Address Book information with Profile Manager, Profile Manager lists port 8443 for iCal but port 8843 for Address Book as default:
So I hope you understand I'm somewhat puzzled.
I did get the Address Book working for my Lion desktops with the all the necessary certificates as far as I know, just not for the iOS devices (iPhone and IpPad). iCal sharing from Lion Server works fine on both Lion and iOS devices.

Can't get Lion Server to work

Hi
As written above. I can't get Lion server to work.
I have succesfully installed the program, and turn on some of the services. Then I have bought a domain, to connect to my server. But if I try to connect to my IP, from another computer, it doesn't connect. I have tried to "port forwarding" port 80 on my router, and given my Mac a static IP. I have checked with a "Check port opener" if the port 80 was in reach, it was.
So my question is, what is the next I can do to make it work. First with the IP and then with my domain?

Yes, SMTP used to work but stopped after new cert applied. IMAP works fine. Removed SSL and still doesn't work (although should it be restarted or is save for changes okay).

Calendar can't save event to exchange server

Since moving to Yosemite I've been getting this error message with calendar - "Calendar can't save event "{event name}" to the Exchange server."
I'm unable to find any fix, including turning on/off time zone support. I've also re-established the exchange account more than once - each time the error eventually comes back (with a different calendar event).
Here's a link to a discussion on this subject, however, it was created under OS X Mountain Lion. I never encountered this issue prior to Yosemite. Thus, I created a new discussion here under OS X Yosemite.
Re: Calendar - Exchange sync issue
Has anyone created a workaround yet?

I had this issue too. Since all my data was present on the exchange server, I decided for the "delete" approach. First i quit the calendar app, then I went into library/calendars. There i deleted all files including Calendar cache and several folders ending on .exhange and .calendar. After a reboot i reconfigured my exchange account and everything seems to work fine now.

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Photoshop CS5 Windows file server save issue

After Lion to Mountain Lion upgrade.
Cannot save or save as to Windows server. Due to "program error." Adobe Photoshop CS5. Can save as fine to local drive. Can also drag and drop in the Finder to this server.
This is Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 (current).
Once the error "could not save filename due to a program error" occurs, the file disappears from the Windows server.
I think it has something to due with the SMB connection.
All other CS5 apps (InDesign, Illustrator, etc.) "save" and "save as" fine. It is also fine performing the same procedure using Preview.

We're in 2015 and this is still an issue with the latest updates from Apple. Any one confirm that the save to network storage problem in Photoshop is gone with the newest version of Photoshop Creative Cloud?
Here's what's happening in our shop as of May, 2015 with both AFP and SMB server connections:
We are using Photoshop CS 5.1, Version 12.1 x64. I believe this is the most up to date version of our CS5.1 software.
We are on OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3.
When connected to the server via afp (in server log it says "AFP client")
Photoshop gives this error on a save after some changes are made to the file: "Could not save "file name" because write access was not granted." Then, as soon as you hit ok, the file is deleted from the server and is gone within a minute or so. If no change was made to the file, save works fine.
If you use "save as" and keep the same file name, it will usually fail with the same error as above. If you use save as and type in a new file name, all works fine.
If logged in via SMB (in the server log is says "CIFS client")
When you try to save, the error changes to "could not save "file name" because the file was not found." And then as soon as you hit OK on the error, the file is deleted from the server. Using Save As and inputing a different file name presented a new problem, it always says "could not save as "file name" because the file was not found." (in this case SMB seems to be worse than an AFP connection).
This is very frustrating and has been going on in the forums for over 3 years. Shared network environments are commonplace today. It seems to be centered around photoshop and OSX. All other software we use has been working fine with the server / network attached storage.
Thanks for any guidance. Sean

Mac Calendar (Mountain Lion) cannot save to Exchange Server

Hi All,
My boss use iMac Calendar (Mac OS 7.8) to sync with Exchange Server. When he saves the modify to Exchange server, There following message appear :
Calendar can't save the event "xxxxxxx" to the Exchange server. The account "Exchange Server" currently can't be modified. to discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that's on the server. click Revert to Server.
This message is randomly. However, iPhone, iPad and MS Outlook without that issue.
Could anyone help to solve?
thanks

Started experiencing this same issue with new Macs on Moutain Lion connecting to MicroSoft Exchange Server.
ERROR Says:
Calendar can't save the event "event name here" to the Exchange server.
The account "describes calendar name" currently can't be modified. to discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that's on the server. click Revert to Server.
Then gives the buttons "Revert to Server" "Try Again" or "Ignore"
!!! Somehow it seems like this is a known issue, otherwise WHY would Apple have given us those 3 buttons to click on?
Needless to say this is causing productivity problems as it disrupts the very busy schedule of many users. Apple needs to provide some workaround for this.

Can I create my own iDisk spaces using Lion Server?

Using Lion Server, can I create a space that would be like iDisk for my users to save and access documents and files remotely? Also to make that shared between users? Basically make my own cloud space.

SSL Certificate is based on your domain, not the granularity of folders. If you have a server named idisk.yourdomain.com and all users will access the same domain, than you need a cert for idisk.yourdomain.com. If you plan to do multiple hosts within the same domain, such as idisk.yourdomain.com and clouddrive.yourdomain.com then look to get a wildcard cert. If you are doing multiple domains, such as idisk.yourdomain.com and clouddisk.otherdomain.com then you need multiple certs. One per domain.
As for access control, that is handled through folder structure and permissions. Make two folders. AllAccess and LimitedAcces. You can make a group that contails users A, B, and C and make them part of a group. That group can access the AllAccess folder. Then make another group containing users A & B and then grant them access to the LimitedAccess folder.

HT5678 What the important thing we need before we can setup The Mountain Lion Server application

I want to set up mountain lion server application on my mac osx 10.83 , may i have some suggestion before i set up it to my macBook .

I'd ask what requirements you're looking to fulfill by using OS X Server on a MacBook system, as that's not a typical hardware configuration for a server.
OS X Server and most other server operating systems expect static IP addresses and full-time availability, where a MacBook tends to be mobile and to thus have a variety of dynamic DHCP IP addresses and networks, and MacBook systems also tend to be closed and hibernating at random times.
It's certainly possible to use this hardware as a server (and it can be useful when you're learning how to manage a server and have a "scratch" MacBook available), but the hardware is not necessarily a good fit.
As you add services, you'll want to have DNS services established and verified, and — on a typical NAT'd local area network with no other LAN-local DNS services — that involves configuring DNS services on OS X Server itself. DNS is a prerequisite for various other OS X Server services.
But yes, do have a disk backup, either Time Machine, or as an external disk backup, or however you preserve your data. Skimming the OS X Server manuals can help save some time figuring out the platform, too.

Can I download Lion Server on my MacBook

Hi
Please forgive me for asking stupid questions but I have just switched from the Windows world to MAC
Can I buy and download Lion Server to my MacBook, and then install it on my Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard later.
The real problem is that the server is located in Spain - with a 'slow' internet connection and I'm now at work in Hannover (Germany) and I would like to save the 5-6 hours of download in the weekend and simply download now and install later.
Is that possible/legal ?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Steen

You can install Server on any Mac that meets the following requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
10GB of available space

i would like to know how i can install Autodesk 3ds max and Autodesk maya on my 27 inch mac ? (2012, sorry i forgot my OSX Lion version number)

Hi Sanal,
Maya will run natively on your Mac assuming you meet the minimum system requirements, however 3ds Max currently needs a virtualized environment such as Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion to operate.
Check out our Mac compatibility page for more, and let us know if you need any assistance with the installation!

I'm trying to use Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins via Screen Share to their iTunes.

Using Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins and connect via Screen Share.
Works great, each has their own home directory and permissions are perfect.
Now setting up iTunes for each with their own Library (not shared), thus keeping multiple Libraries.
I get this;
This Computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you
cannot auto-download past purchases with a different
Apple ID for 90 days.
What!
So what it is on the same computer, they are completely separate Libraries never to be mixed.
If this works, I only need to keep one computer up and running, instead of three.
Each can do their syncing/backup and connect to the various Airplay/AppleTVs I have around the house.
How do I fix this.
Thanks

Bottom line is you can't - easily.
You need to make sure that you log out of the server each time otherwise the ID is running. To explain, if you had a laptop with different people using it, your solution works fine. Each time someone logs in, the iTunes ID is different so it works as you can only have one person using the laptop at any one time.
Now, turning your problem inside-out, you want people to be able to log into iTunes concurrently to use their own version of the program with their own library. This does not seem to work and you get the conflicted ID error message. Even though iTunes is running under their own login ident, I have never been able to get this working reliably and was told that iTunes is NOT a network-aware application as it is designed to be single user.
The way I got around this was to login as XYZ and to make sure that the ID was changed in iTunes accordingly. However, it did not always work so I gave up with the whole thing.
