AFP won't connect - SMB will ...

Hi there,
I've done a few searches and found this is an issue but can't find a fix.
I've got a G5 running 10.3.9 and in 1 of the users I can't connect to the Ethershare server. In fact it won't let me put in a user name and password, just goes straight to can't connect error window.
It's looking like AFP/keychain/cache issue to 1 server to me as we also have a pc server at the problem site and I can get to it via SMB login. I can also get to a server in another state ok so I'm now very confused.
I've deleted some prefs but that didn't work, I deleted the whole user keychain and that didn't work. I also cleaned the caches of the user only using TCC and still no loggee inee...
I can however get to the server in the admin user and as a work around have made a new user - macuser of course ! - and both can get to the servers needed.
I would like to fix the usual user though if possible, can anyone fill me in on a fix ?
Mitch

Thanks LittleSaint -
"In the user's Library/Preferences folder is an invisible file called .GlobalPreferences. Delete that."
That's the kind of thing I was looking for seeing I'd tried prety much everything else - I'll give that a go and see what happens.

AFP won't connect since upgrading to Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks I cannot connect to my QNAP TS-210 via AFP; this means my Time Machine can no longer find my backup disk and no longer works. Anyone else having similar issues?
I have tried the usual quick fixes:
Firmware is up to date
All OS updates installed
Server reset
DHCP renewed
DHCP switched to try manual setup
IP changed on server and Mac
It's odd as when connecting to server I can enter my login ID and it seems to be validating it ok but then doesnt connect to the server at all?
Any suggestions welcome!

Use a supported Time Machine configuration.
OS X Mountain Lion: Disks you can use with Time Machine
"Note: Some AFP disks from manufacturers other than Apple don’t support Time Machine. If your network uses an AFP disk, but the disk doesn’t appear in the list of devices available for Time Machine backups, contact the disk’s manufacturer."
Your complaint is very common with NAS devices. Some work and some don't. If they appear to work, they may fail upon attempting to restore from the backup, or they may fail every time Apple updates OS X. Given the goal of a backup strategy, using anything other than a supported TM configuration is not an option.

IChat 4 won't connect (neither will any other IM clients)

Hi,
I tried to login to iChat 4 this morning, and I get this error:
Could not connect to AIM (username)
The connection could not be completed because it timed out. Try again.
I tried again, same error. I also tried Adium and MSN Messenger, and neither of those connect either. All three used to work, and I'm not sure how to figure out what changed. Can anyone help me please get IM back on my MacBook?
Thanks!
Libby

In System Preferences any Allow Specific listed App will be marked with a "Certificate" and any port that app uses will be allowed for that App. Other apps that want to use the same port(s) have to be allowed as well independently.
Sometimes some routers and modems have an issue with ichat in the AIM Buddy list using port 5190 on TCP to Login and UDP to send files and get Buddy List info back to you.
In iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Sever Settings tab you can change the default Login port (5190) to 443 when the account is Off-line (logged Out).
Of course any ports iChat uses have to be opened or allowed in the modem or router.

Server Admin won't connect, ssh will...

Hi,
I am no longer able to connect to my server using Server Admin. It gets stuck on 'loading' for ages and then says the server doesn't exist. I can connect fine with ssh, and there's nothing in system.log or servermgrd.log. I've tried deleting the Server Admin prefs as mentioned in the archives but to no avail.
Any help appreciated.

James: obvious stuff, I know, but is there a packet filter between your admin machine and the server? Have you tried restarting servermgrd (sudo killall -HUP servermgrd would do it) or re-booting the entire server?

AE: pc won't connect, mac will

I've been searching both this(pc) forum and the Mac forum to find help with my pc/mac airport extreme issue.
My exact issue:
I connect to the internet through my AP card/AP/DSL modem.
Not sure if my settings are what they need to be, but I can connect fine.
The PC, in another part of the house, runs on windows ME (what the heck is that?!)and has a wireless WMP54 adapter installed.
No signal on the PC end, no AP - nothing. At this point, I have no idea what the heck the settings should be on my end, or the PC's end. Am I setting up a network, a client...DHCP, manual DHCP, Airport or ethernet??? I throw my hands in the air and admit "I'm a wireless idiot!!"
I've been searching both this(pc) forum and the Mac forum to find help with my pc/mac airport extreme issue. I know it has to be an issue with the settings on my end, but there are so many options it is confusing. I'm doing the best I can to educate myself, but it's all starting to get fuzzy.
On top of getting the PC connected, what about security? I've recently had my mac's backside hacked open, so just two days ago, I backed up my HD & erase installed everything (partially my fault for lack of turning on the proper security measures). I'm very concerned about making sure I set this up as securely as possible.
At this point I'd sell a kidney to get everything working & secured.

Tough problem, but the best place to start would be on your Mac.
Open System Preferences in the Apple Menu and then click on Network. Choose Airport in the Show: menu then note the Airport ID number and the name of your wireless network. Click on TCP/IP then note the setting for Configure IPv4. From this point, it's hard for me to help because I don't know whether this is being configured by automatic or manual DHCP, BootP, or completely manual. This can give you an idea of the settings you need to make on your PC's wireless connection wizard. Hopes this at least gets you started.

Time Capsule won't connect to anything

I was using my time capsule for about a year and never had an issue until I moved. Now that I'm in the new house, no devices will connect to it except my MacBook Pro. Hard wired LAN or over WIFI my smart TV won't connect neither will my PlayStation or my iPhones or iPad. Nothing. Again... My computer connects over WIFI but nothing else. And nothing works directly hooked up from the Time Capsule to any device via LAN cable.

TC needs a full factory reset when put in a new network.
It remembers far too much from the previous setup.
So.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Do do a new setup .. if the modem you have is cable pure type modem.. the TC must be in bridge.. you MUST turn off the cable modem for 20min for the MAC address capture to time out.. then power up the modem and power up the TC which is in DHCP + NAT mode.
If the modem is a router.. put the TC in bridge mode..
If you run into troubles give us more info.
what modem.. make and model and type.
What model is the TC.. A1xxx from the base.
What version firmware?

8100 on TMo. 4.5 OS won't connect to internet

Hi guys. I followed the procedure that was suggested at this link to upgrade my Pearl to the 4.5 OS.
The phone can't seem to pick up a data connection for the internet now, though it does still pull my email and my Google Maps works. Gmail won't connect, nor will my Opera Mini browser.
Any help would be appreciated!
(Other random bits: 2 of MyFaves don't load, "About" link does not work)
Should I have gone through a different process? Will the 4.5 OS work OK with TMo?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It certainly won't hurt to try sending service books again, at least.
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site.
From your handheld device: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot

Won't connect to afp server

We have a 2 x 2 GHz G5 which was recently upgraded to X.4.5 and connected to a Gigabit switch. Everything initially worked fine. The other day the computer crashed while compressing files in Cleaner, and since then it won't connect to our server anymore, and Cleaner won't startup either. Internet acces still works. Our two other macs, with similar configurations, still have acces to the server.
When I try to connect to our server a window appears saying connecting to afp://... then a second window appears which says searching for "name of server" but they just stall there.
When I tried to launch Cleaner, the same second window appears saying searching for server, but Cleaner won't launch. I trashed Cleaner's prefs and it now launchs.
I tried trashing the network prefs, to no avail.
any ideas ?
Cheers,
Damien

UPDATE
Although the other macs could connect via AFP, this particular G5 couldn't until the password scheme for AFP was set to "Apple Clear Text" on the Windows Small Business 2003 Server.
- On the server Go "Start'
- Right Click "My Computer"
- Choose "Manage" - This will open the Computer Management Window
- Right click "Shared Folders"
- Choose "Configure File Server For Macintosh"
- Under "Enable Authentication" choose "Apple Clear Text" from the menu
- Click "Apply", then "OK"
If this isn't done, some OSX Macs may receive a -35 error when trying to connect to the server - I still don't know why the other macs we're fine as all Macs were running OS 10.4.6
Mac OS X (10.4.6) WIndows Small Business Server 2003

TS1398 I have never had a problem with Apple. After the 7.02 update, my Wifi grayed out and would not turn on. Now my Wifi turns on but it will not connect. I even typed in the name and it still won't connect. I have tried all of apple's solutions.

I have tried all the solutions apple has offered online. I will not reset my phone to factory settings unless it is a last resort. What is Apple doing to fix this? I had my last Iphone last for more than 2 years and I hve had this one less than a year. My Wifi was greyed out and now it's on but won't connect or locate any networks (but if I keep switching it on and off it will freeze on me again). Does Apple have plans to fix this problem because I refuse to purchase a new phone?
Are there any other new solutions to try in fixing the Wifi that doesn't require freezing or heating up the phone or switching to airplane mode and resetting the network settings as well making sure it's up todate or changing the apostrophe in the phone's name? My phone has never been dropped or damaged. Everyone around the world seems to be having this problem and Apple does not seem to be making a move to fix it? I use this phone for everything and 4g will only last so long before I reach my monthly limit. Please help!!!!!!!!!

that makes no sense... it was only doing an update... if that's the case it should have promted me to back up first if this is even possible... there is a program that says it can recovery anything that hasn't been written over yet.. so would this not work? http://www.iphone-data-recovery.com/iphone-data-recovery.html or would the apple store be able to recover it??? i've done plenty of data recovery on computers... why wouldn't it be possible on an Iphone... does apple seriously not care about thier customers at all??? how about thier employees that are gonna get more than an earful tomorrow when I walk in there store??? No wonder samsung paid 2 million to apple in pennies when they got sued... (how does it feel to be screwed with apple?!)

My A'Extreme sometimes won't connect to my MacBook Pro even if I have a green light on the device . I can unplug the ethernet cable and reconnect and it will work fine. all diagnostics say there is nothing wrong. Any ideas ?

This is more about your modem then anything. Sometimes you'll need to unplug and plug back in your modem. Consider it a glitch from the ISP or just the modem in general.
when I need to turn something off then on I try the modem first. This when I'm not doing any ware and tare to the device.

I had a hard disc failure and had to reload Design suite 6 from disc. The program is now telling me I have 7 days to register the product or it will quit working. The serial number is already registered. It won't connect to the adobe site from the popup screen that comes up telling me I only have 7 days to register. What do I do?

Go to the Help menu in Photoshop and choose Activate. It should open a wizard allowing you to do this.
If that fails, Contact Customer Care after clicking on one of the activation links. The more information you give them, the easier it will be for them to help you.

Suddenly my I phone 4 will not connect message mobile device service could not be started (nothing has changed on my PC). I have tried following the troubleshooting and have restarted the mobile device) but it still won't connect. Also all bookmarks have disappeared!

Okay ... it's a better bet with a 1067 error message when trying to start the Apple Mobile Device Service, but we'd better check for a LSP issue, as per the following document:
