AFP on OES2.2-LX and MAC's

Hello all,
Running AFP on OES2.2-LX box. Been running great. However I've identified a bit of a glitch. MAC 10.6.6 cannot see their folders when they login. If I give them Supervisor rights to the folder that works fine. But we don't want to give them Supervisor rights. When I have the user login with MAC 10.6.4 it works fine. When I have the user login with a Windows XP box, it works fine. It only does not work with MAC 10.6.6. I ran an online update with YAST to see if there was a patch for AFP. I didn't see any. Anybody else see this issue? Any ideas?
Thanks
Hans

Do you have the latest SP2 patches on it? I am running fine as well as
customers with 10.6.6. Have been for a while.

  • Lion: Connecting to legacy (pre-Lion) AFP services - and Mac OS X (server)

    After upgrading to MacOS X Lion, it was discovered that it was not possible to logon to Novell-shares and NAS-boxes (e.g. Qnap).
    Here is a recipe that has been tested OK with the following combinations:
    * Mac OS X Lion -> Novell shares
    * Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X 10.5 server
    * Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X Lion
    Please note that the command-lines themselves must not have CR/NL-characters. Copy the commands to a text-editor and remove format-inserted CR/NL-characters.
    Another note: Your logon will be less secure with these changes. Later when e.g. Novell and/or your NAS-box support native Lion-logon, then please remove the AppleShareClient-parameter changes again with the first block.
    Recipe:
    The following block can be skipped if you have not previously changed AppleShareClient-parameters:
    sudo -s
    chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    cd  /Library/Preferences/
    rm com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist*
    ! Restart
    The following block makes it possible to logon to: (1) Novell-shares (2) Pre Lion Mac-OS-X-volumes - and possibly non-native Lion logon NAS-shares:
    sudo -s
    chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
    ! Restart
    You now have to logon a real account (non-guest) on another Mac OS X Lion volume
    to catalyst a creation of AppleShareClient-files. (See Apple-support-link) (Is this necessary?)
    ! instead?:
    /bin/sleep 60
    chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHX2"
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHCAST128"
    chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
    PS:
    Possibly all volume-links may be deletes and recreated to use the new logon-parameters?

  • How to share an airport disc between PC and Mac

    I am planning to buy a airport station and connect my existing USB hard disc for sharing the data wirelessly among my PC and Mac book.
    My existing USB hard disc was partitioned into two parts to cater for different formats for PC and Mac book. One of the partition is used solely for Mac for backing up by time machine. The other is for sharing.
    Please advise if this can function the same by connecting to the airport station for using wirelessly.

    My existing USB hard disc was partitioned into two parts to cater for different formats for PC and Mac book.
    If one of the partitions is formatted for NTFS, the AirPort Base Station will NOT be able to read it or share it out to network clients. The AirPort works best with drives formatted for HPS+ and will share these drives out to Macs (using AFP) and PCs (using SMB).
    One of the partition is used solely for Mac for backing up by time machine. The other is for sharing.
    Unfortunately Apple does not support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks (USB HDDs attached to the AirPort Extreme). ref: Time Machine doesn't back up to AirPort Disks

  • Problem with Xsan 2.1.1 and Mac Os server 10.5.6

    Hi,
    We have a big problem with xsan 2.1.1 and Mac Os server 10.5.6.
    - We have one server, is a Open Directory Master, and also is a metadata controller of xsan2. The Volumes of xsan2 are shares via afp, and the clients (moreless 50) connect with server via afp.
    - We have some problems, one of them is:
    odm fsm [341]: XSAN FSS 'VolDocs [0] ' : Invalid inode lookup: 0x7f80000000007e0 markers 0x0/0x0 nextiel 0x0
    This message is always in the log. We stop the volume, and start cvfsck -wv, but dont have anything, how fix it??
    - Another problem is with AFP service, suddenly the service stop, and the error is :
    mds [58] (error) Server: Mach error queueing checkin to peer manager: (ipc /send) invalid port right.
    -What of the meaning of (ipc/send) invalid port right??.
    And the last error is:
    -com.appelAppleFileServer [347] MDSChannelPeerRequest: (ipc/rcv) timed out.
    Need Help please!.

    My configuration:

    This server is the open directory Master and metadata controller of xsan2, but we have another server that is open directory replica and metadata controller of xsan2. The fisrt server have too many errors with afp, the service stop and the server is dead, and you must restart via terminal with the command sudo reboot. I dont know what happen, do you help me please?

  • Powerbook 15" 1.5MHz and Mac mini

    I have a powerbook. I would like to know what limitations I might have adding a Mac mini to my Powerbook. I could go wireless, (preferred). Will I be able to use programs on the Mac mini from my Powerbook. Can it be used as a shared computer from my Powerbook? I would like to use the Mac as a second hard drive etc.
    Looking for benefits and faults.
    What ever help you can give me would appreciated.

    Hi Virgil
    When you network two Macs, you can set up Personal File Sharing between them, which will allow you to access files (documents, images, etc) on either machine. Each computer will appear in the other's Network area; or, you can connect through Finder's Go - Connect to Server menu using:
    afp://other-machine's-IP (eg afp://10.0.1.3)
    and then login using the user account you have on the computer you're connecting to.
    You can have the other computer's hard drive mount to your desktop at startup by connecting to it and dragging the icon to your Login Items list in your Accounts preferences. That way, it's always available to you.
    In that way, you can use the other computer as a networked hard drive. However, you can't run an application on the network computer as though it was local. What you can do is remotely login to the other computer through Terminal and start the application remotely, but I'm not sure that's what you want to do.
    Hope that helps

  • Network Attached Storage Recommendation for PC and Mac compatability

    Hi Everyone,
    I am about to purchase a MacBook and am looking to also by an NAS drive on which I can store all of my music (and maybe my movies as well). I want to be able to store and retrieve files from both my windows machine and the mac.
    I have been researching the drives and can't decide whether to go with a LaCie, Maxtor, or Western Digital. Does anyone have any recommendations?
    Also, I am not clear on how I would be able to store both Windows and Mac Files on an NAS but I have gathered that it should be no problem to do this. Can anybody here explain this to me? My goal is to have one partition on this drive so that I have a central media library.
    Thanks for any input. These forums have been a great source of information for making the decision to buy a mac.
    Steve
    (I am posting this in multiple places in hopes of getting a response.)

    You might want to look into the ReadyNAS from Infrant:
    http://infrant.com/
    The models have essentially the same features in different form factors. It's more expensive than a bare bones NAS, but it's very capable. Briefly:
    -- you can use 1-4 drives, for massive capacity
    -- it implements RAID 5 in hardware, allowing you to get redundancy without much wasted space. Other NAS that provide RAID 5 generally do it in software which is really too slow to be usable
    -- provides smb, afp, ftp, http access, will work with pretty much any OS
    -- when using their proprietary X-RAID you can sequentially replace disks with larger ones (allowing a rebuild in between) and when you are done the extra space is automatically incorporated into the volume
    It's really a very capable unit, allowing you to have massive space and redundancy at home for storage, backup, etc.... You can get going with only two drives and then add more as you need the space/have the money (X-RAID automatically moves from RAID 1 to RAID 5 as you have extra drives).
    They also have a very active user forum, so you can get a good view of how it works and hear from the developers directly.
    Good luck.

  • Can't Get MacBook Pro and Mac Pro to Network

    I have a MacBook Pro (2008 - 2.5 Ghz. Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) that I have been connecting to my Mac Pro (2005 - 2 2.66 Ghz Xeon with 20 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) through an Ethernet switch on my school's network. This has worked without a hitch for years, but when I upgraded to 10.6.7 recently, the MacBook and Mac Pro fail to network. On the MacBook Pro, the Mac Pro's icon doesn't show in the shared area, and on the Mac Pro, I can see the icon for the MacBook Pro, but when I click on the icon to connect, I get the message that "Connection Failed There was an error connecting to the server (name of my MacBook Pro). Check the server name or IP address, and then try again." I have tried a direct connect using the "Connect to Server" under the Go menu on both machines, using their IP addresses, but no luck. Is there something I need to re-set to get these two to talk again? I have other Macs on the same network that my MacBook and my Mac Pro can see, and both machines can connect to them. They just can't connect to each other.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have on  how to fix this.

    I fixed the problem by re-setting the default values for my VirusBarrier X6 anti-virus program.

  • Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

    Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
    I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

    My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

    I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that  are causing the problem.
    I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

  • HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

    Airplay mirroring.
    Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
    Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
    When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi!
    I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
    I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
    So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
    I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

  • Flash (is it for me?), Wacom Cintiq 22HD, and Mac Mini

    I have Flash as part of the CS6 Master Suite, which I purchased primarily for InDesign, Photoshop and Premiere, but as yet I haven't opened Flash. I'm hoping someone here can save me time by advising me whether Flash is suitable for my purposes. I'm not a professional, just a keen amateur, but I do want to use quality software and equipment to do the finest job I can.
    Answers to a previous post in the Illustrator forum (Re: Animation – is Illustrator what I should be using?) suggested that I try Flash.
    Background
    I'll be using Premiere for converting my audio-visuals to HD format. Back in the 1980s I was right into three-screen slide shows. As part of the transforming, I'll be introducing a small number of video clips (hence my need for Premiere) and also short animation sequences, probably 10 seconds at most. The animation will be done by an artist friend who is keen to extend his talents into computer art. If I buy the computer (some sort of Mac), a Cintiq, load the appropriate software, and then loan it all to Steve and show him how to use it, he'll happily spend as much time as required for the animation. We're bartering: he gets to use a computer and tablet for as long as he wants, I get animation.
    A typical animation might involve Steve drawing outlines at appropriate intervals, over a background, then having the software generate the in-betweens. Watercolour-style shading (i.e. not fill-type, monotone colour) would be added, probably manually for each frame, unless the tweening can competently handle watercolour-style shading. For some of Steve's doodlings on his iPad (simplified versions of what we're aiming for), check out http://www.mediafire.com/download/sj731c17co55g5w/Steve's_iPad_Work.zip
    We're both new to this and recently spent an afternoon together looking at videos on Flash and the Cintiq. The combination looks like it will work for us, but I have a few questions which I'm hoping some of the experts on this forum can answer. A simple yes or no may save me hours of reading documentation only to find out that something won't work as I want. I'll also include some questions about the Cintiq and Mac Mini in case someone who uses them with Flash can provide answers. I live in a place where I have no access to these devices before I buy. I have to buy 'cold'. Thus my wariness.
    Please note: I'm not an artist and Steve isn't computer literate. So some of these questions might appear pretty dumb to an experienced user of Flash/Cintiq.
    Ques 1
    Is Synfig Studio (as suggested at the end of my Illustrator thread) something I should consider? Or is Flash a better bet?
    Ques 2
    Does Flash have vector tools that mimic a watercolour paintbrush like in Photoshop? Or is that not possible as a vector, and such effects have to be done outside Flash and then imported as background (or other method)?
    Ques 3
    When a Flash animation is finished, how is it exported, for example, to Premier? Do you export as h.264?
    Ques 4
    It is not clear to Steve and I after viewing three Cintiq videos, how the Cintiq interfaces to Flash. Does the Cintiq know about Flash, and appropriates certain drawing tools automatically? Or do you have to tell Flash (or the Cintiq) that this button on the Cintiq now operates this tool in Flash?
    Ques 5
    Do Flash and Cintiq work well together – and easily?
    Ques 6
    Do I need a monitor to be able to use Flash with the Cintiq? Or would a Mac Mini be a suitable computer – with the Cintiq acting as monitor? Steve won't ever be using this setup as a computer. He'll be treating the Cintiq as a canvas on which to draw and paint.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Hi Guy,
    I thought I was the only one around who was old enough to have worked on wide screen multi-image slide shows!
    Flash may be the right product for you and Steve. I use Flash with an Intuos 4 tablet and it works fine. What you want to do is to search the Flash forums for references to Cintiq. There may be some problems that interfere with your intended use, or it may work exactly as you want. The important element for working with any Wacom product is to be sure that you are using the latest drivers for the Wacom product.
    If you choose to use a mac mini, get a new one, one that can use a lot of memory, you'll need it.
    You can export Flash files to video in most any file type and compression is installed on the computer. So, if you're going to use a Mac, install Quicktime Pro and you should have everything that you need.
    I have never heard of or used Synfig Studio, so I can't comment on that.
    Flash's paint tools are different from Photoshop and more similar to Illustrator's. You will have all of the flexibility of the Cintiq to control painting effects, it will take some practice, but you should be able to get the effect that you're describing.
    Hope this helps with your decision.

  • How to connect a 23" Cinema display and mac mini to an AV Receiver?

    I am trying to get my 23" Cinema display and Mac Mini to a Yamaha RX-2700 AV Receiver. I am on first name terms with the guy in Maplins because I tried to get an Xbox 360 working with this display before and gave up in the end.  The AV receiver has upscaling capability so I thought I'd try again.  I tried connecting a HDMI - DVI adapter to the HDMI Out on the receiver and a HMDI to DVI cable from the Mac Mini to the HDMI in with a optical cable for the sound.  The sound works fine but I get no display - the LED on the monitor flashes three times with a blank screen so it can't read the signal.  Another option suggested was to use a VGA Converter connected to a VGA - HDMI cable but I would like to find out if that would work before going down that route?
    I am looking for some advice about whether this type of configuation is possible with the 23" ACD and if so what do I need to buy to make it work?  I love the quality of my ACD to avoid having to replace it with a TV to get my multi media life in order.
    Many thanks

  • Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

    I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

    You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
    If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

  • Quicktime encoding using x264 encoder failing in AME 6.0.2.81 and Mac OS 10.8.2

    I'm trying to encode an x264 codec Quicktime using AME 6.0.2.81 and Mac OS 10.8.2. I also tried it with two versions of the x264 encoder which I downloaded from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24173/x264encoder
    This encoder works 100% fine and better than the h264 encoder when using Apple Compressor and Apple QT Pro V7. I've been however trying to transition all of my video encodes to AME due to a number of reasons: dynamic link to AE, Premiere and the interface to name a few.
    Everytime I start an encode it gives me an error and I hear that blasted sheep. lol. This is what the log displays, which is frankly probably no help to anyone.
    - Encoding Time: 00:00:00
    01/13/2013 04:48:10 PM : Encoding Failed
    Export Error
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    I've also tried to specify the bitrate and have had no luck. Whether I specify the bitrate or not, I still get the error. The source video has been PNG sequences and ProRes movies at 1920x1080, 29.97fps. Both result in the same unknown error.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I know this is pretty old now, but I thought I'd add a reply for those who are having this issue. I just had AME CC 2014 fail on me today, and this is the FIRST thing I've ever tried to render with it. I'm using a TGA sequence and exporting to an X264 codec Quicktime MOV file at 720p. I restarted a few times, repaired permissions etc. and nothing worked except for the following.
    I went to:
    Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/8.0/
    I deleted the entire 8.0 folder (or you could delete whatever version you are having problems with). I then restarted AME and the preferences were recreated and I could successfully use the x264 codec again. Hope this helps someone.
