stuck

and I have no problem accessing the connected printer from the Macmini

  • Email downloads in Mail on Leopard but not Tiger

    I recently switched three email accounts to a new host with new POP and SMTP. On my work computer (which is running OS X 10.5.4) I have the accounts set up and they appear to work just fine. On my home computer (running OS X 10.4.11), I have the accounts set up, but only one of the accounts can send and receive email. Same POP and SMTP servers, same ports as the work computer, as near as I can tell everything is the same. Is there something I may be missing? I have set up many email accounts and this is the first time I've come across this weird thing. (I can access all my email through the mail server's webmail; I just can't download it to my computer.) Any ideas?

    That's OpenDNS' numbers...

    Faster, safer, and more reliable than many IsP's DNS numbers.
    The fact that it worked is proof that your ISP's DNS Servers are a bit flaky, or the Router/Mac weren't communicating properly.
    Great to hear though!

  • When I send an email with bcc recipients, the bcc does not show in my sent mail so I can't reference back later who I sent the email to. Worked in Snow Leopard but not in Yosemite. Please advise if their is fix for that.

  • Web server works externally, but not internally

    Hi I'm kind of new to this.
    I got my web server working exteranlly, but within my internal network, the webserver only works if I input the actual ip address and not www.example.com.
    I have a Cisco RVS4000 set as a gateway and a Mac Mini with Server App 10.8x. My guess is that I have to enable some port. I followed the well known TCP/UDP Ports (https://discussions.apple.com/article/TS1629), but I still can't get it to work internally.
    Any thoughts on why it's not working interanlly?
    Thank you,

    Lol...After fixing one issue, another one came up. This time it has to do with the name I am using. For example:
    www.exmaple.com and tm1.example.com (both are hosted with different ips)
    Since they are both using the same name: exmaple.com, I cannot access the www.exmaple.com, but I can access the tm1.example.com
    You have been a great help John, is there anyway to fix this?
    Thank you

  • Please help.. How can a RW DVD show up fine in Snow Leopard but not Lion

    Hiyah, I've just taken a RW dvd to my local Apple store for them to sort me out but they are all flummoxed.  Episode 8 of Game of Thrones shows up as such in Snow Leopard but I bought a new Imac last week and Lion refuses to show the correct file.  Series 2 Episode 8 shows up as Series 2 Episode 6 in Lion.  I opened the file in Lion and it plays ep6 but on my pc at work it plays ep8 so I know it's the correct download.  Has anyone else come across this?  Also do you think it would show up ok if I used a memory stick instead of a dvd?
    Thank you

    Is it possible to recover files that were emptied from Trash, overwritten?
    A professional data recovery service such as DriveSavers can recover them, but the cost of doing so can be hundreds or thousands of dollars.

  • Running Snow Leopard but need Tiger for ONE application... Possible?

    Hello all... I currently have an intel Macbook Pro which is about 3.5 yrs old. My OS is Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and I love it.. however, I also need to use an old version of Avid Xpress Pro which recommends running 10.4.6-10.4.8 (Tiger). This is the only application that I have that requires this OS... Unfortunately, I need the app for now.
    My question is this:
    Can I partition (or by any other means) a portion of my Mac for Tiger 10.4.8 and the rest for Snow Leopard?
    If so how do I go about it?
    Many thanks!!

    Having the original disks does not matter... the question is, what did your Mac _ship with_? If it shipped with Tiger, then you can certainly partition and install Tiger on a second partition. Of course, if it were me, I would probably just buy an external drive and install Tiger on that, but that's just personal preference. If you choose to partition, just make sure you've got a good set of backups. You should be able to do it without erasing, but should not gamble your data on it going off without a hitch.
    OTOH, if your Mac shipped with something other than Tiger, you simply cannot run Tiger on it. See:

  • Mybook Studio Edition external drive shows in macbook leopard but not imac

    I have a Mybook Studio Edition external drive that I am using to store files and as a backup for my macbook leopard using time machine. I wanted to add files from my imac tiger but it does not show up in disk utility and the system profiler says unrecognized drive. I don't remember formatting it - it was just plug and play out of the box. Does this mean it is formatted for Leopard and won't work on tiger?
    Is there something that time machine does that it will only be recognized by macbook?
    The imac is:
    2.4 ghz
    3gb ram
    300gb drive
    10.4.11
    the macbook is
    2.4ghz
    4gb ram
    300gb drive
    10.5.6

    Hello,
    On the iMac ... Try repairing disk permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

  • Can access mail on home IMAP server from work, but not at home

    At home I have an Xserve running Snow Leopard Server with IMAP service enabled. This runs all my personal email. Even Gmail and iCloud accounts have their incoming mail forwarded to that server, because I prefer to house my own data. I have dynamic DNS with an MX record. The Xserve also runs DNS and resolves "imap.myip.net" to the internal IP address of the Xserve, and, when I am and work, "imap.myip.net," through the dynamic DNS service, resolves to the outside IP address I have through my ISP. My router forwards external requests on Port 993 to the Xserve internally.
    Until recently, I could move my MacBook Pro between home and work and access my email without problems in either place. It appears that since the 10.8.2 update, I can no longer access my email from home, where I am on the same subnet as my IMAP server. When at home, Mail accesses external email servers (Gmail and my work account) without problems. For the accounts on my home IMAP server, the Mail Connection Doctor states that the IMAP server could not be contacted.
    However, I can clearly ping it from my MacBook Pro, which means that it is reachable and that my internal DNS is working.
    I just fired up my work VPN, and, sure enough, messages that Mail hadn't been able to collect are trondling into my Inbox. In other words, when making Mail access my mail server through the Internet there is no problem.
    Even before the Mountain Lion update I found that I had to relaunch Mail when I returned home from work, or Mail couldn't connect to the mail server. It seemed like Mail cached the resolved IP address it had gotten at work, which is the external IP address of my home network, and failed to re-resolved the address of the IMAP server once I woke up the computer, after getting back home. Quitting Mail and relaunching it did resolve that, but it was annoying.
    I have never worked with Little Snitch, but it might provide some answers as to what Mail is attempting to do, when it is failing to access the server. Do any of you agree or recognize this issue and have a solution?

    It looks like a simple reboot fixed the problem.
    Mac OS X is, by and large, so stable that I don't even consider rebooting as a troubleshooting step. There have been a number of application glitch that required a quit and re-launch to fix them, but that didn't do the trick with Mail. Very possibly reconfiguring everything from scratch had something to do with the fix, but in a way that required it to be combined with a reboot.

  • Why does my Cisco router firewall block Windows Server 2012 traffic, but not Windows Server 2008 traffic?

    Hello,
       I run a small business network with five physical servers: three Dell servers running Windows Server 2008 R2, one custom build running 2008, and another custom build running 2012 with Domain Controller Role (same hardware for both custom builds). 
    The Dell servers are all running the Hyper-V role and each has a number of 2008 VMs.  I also have a 2012 VM with the Domain Controller Role on one of the Hyper-V servers and another VM with a completely base install of 2012.
       All servers are plugged into a Cisco SG300-52 switch which is uplinked to a Cisco 881 router which is connected to a cable TWC provided Ubee cable modem.  I have no VLANs setup.  I do have the Firewall on the router configured
    to inspect most traffic.
       Here is my problem:  I cannot connect to most of the internet on ANY 2012 server (and all exhibit the exact same behavior), but I have NO problems connecting to the internet from 2008 servers.  Here is what I already know:
       1.) I can ping the outside world just fine so ICMP is passing to any external host.
       2.) Two of the 2012 servers are DCs running DNS services and they can connect to the internet just fine for DNS requests because they are doing a perfectly good job of providing DNS services to my network.
       3.) Here's where it gets really weird: I can browse in internet explorer to Bing.com and it works.  I can also go to a couple other Microsoft websites (though they are very slow).  If I click on any link in Bing, however, it doesn't
    work and gives me a page not available error.  If I connect to a non-MS website like Google or my company website, I get page not available.
        4.) I have tried to telnet to port 80 at Bing and it works.  I have tried to telnet to port 80 at google.com and it won't connect.  The 2008 servers have no issue telneting to either bing or google on port 80 and none of my client
    PCs on the network do either.
        5.) Windows Update will not connect and neither will any other update service such as AVG (I have AVG Antivirus installed WITHOUT firewall on two of the three servers. The base 2012 VM has no software installed and no roles...I built it
    just to see if it could connect after a fresh install and it still cannot.)
        6.) The network connection does not indicate limited connectivity (probably because ICMP appears to be passing successfully)
         7.) If I connect the server directly to the modem it has full internet access.
         8.) All internal LAN connectivity is perfectly fine and runs at full speed.
         9.) I have scoured the internet trying to find other examples of this particular kind of connectivity issue on 2012 and I have found two TechNet articles that are similar, but they both had the same resolution: changing the router
    worked, but no one knows why. (I would have included the links, but apparently I cannot do that yet)
    My question is this: What is different about Windows Server 2012 networking that would render it unable to communicate through a router that Windows Server 2008 has no problems with?  I ask because, unlike in these two articles where they were
    running personal networking equipment they could easily upgrade, I'm running a Cisco 881 with what should be virtually limitless configuration options and I have no desire to replace it.  I have to assume the issue is somehow related to the firewall configuration,
    which I could fix easily, but I don't know what to change.  If anyone knows what changed in 2012 and why I would be able to browse to bing and other MS sites but no where else, please pass them along.  Thanks.

  • I want to upgrade to leopard but not got intel

    i purchased my g5 a while ago now and since apple released snow leopard the original leopard is impossible to buy. With the original g5 being power pc and not intel im unable to purchase any newer versions apart from os x leopard. i just don't want to spend the money on ebay as i guess they know its impossible to find and are selling it at stupid prices. Please can someone help!!!!!

    Try calling the Apple Store phone number at the upper left corner of any Apple Store web page. I seem to recall they sold Tiger (for PowerPC) for a while after Leopard was released, even though the item was not listed anywhere on the online Apple Store. You had to call and ask for it.

  • Excel Import Fails in SQL Server Agent Job but not when executed in BIDS

    We have a SQL Server agent job that has ran successfully for the past 6 months.  It started failing about a week ago.  I don't believe anyone installed anything on the server.  The proxy account used to run the job is an admin on the server.   
    I've tried everything I can think of or that I found on searches.  I even changed the connection manager from an Excel source to using an Microsoft office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLEDB connection and it still runs in BIDs and not as an agent job. 
    I also setup my LANID as a proxy account to see if the job would run (checking security) -- and it fails with the same error.   I also made sure the path is
    \\server\share rather than a drive letter.   Any ideas?
    The package is executed in 32 bit mode.  The package still runs fine in BIDS (where BIDs is opened on the server) but fails in the SQL Agent job with:

    I wanted to see if it was a security issue with the agent account account - but
    this ran fine.
    I then updated the SQL Agent job to use an operating system command instead
    of a SSIS package on the job step.  This fails...
    The issue is definately with the SQL Server Agent

  • Airdisk works over SMB but not AFP

    Just connected an external drive to a gigabit Airport Extreme (had the Extreme over a year, btw). Finder sees the Extreme in the Shared section, but cannot connect to it. I receive the error "Connection Failed" and that the server is not available.
    However, using Windows XP in Fusion, I can see the Extreme and connect to it just fine using SMB.
    I can also connect to a ReadyNAS Duo on the same network via AFP with no problems.
    I have turned off the Mac's firewall and turned on all the available connection options on the Extreme. I've tried all the different access options as well (passwords, accounts, etc.). I've even repaired permissions on the Mac to no avail. My wife's Mac also cannot connect to the Extreme using AFP (haven't tried SMB yet, though). She also has Fusion/XP installed.
    Any ideas?

    Just to add to the oddness: Installed a demo of Path Finder 5. It shows the Airport Extreme available under the Share section as AFP and SMB capable. AFP connection works perfectly.
    Something amiss in the Finder?

  • Linux server, 1 Leopard Mac, 2 Tiger mac and a Windows machine: Should I?

    I am a photographer, my wife an audio producer. I am a Mac person - she has a Windows machine. We work at home and want to install an ethernet network and use a Linux server to serve up and share files accross the network.
    We are both very proficient at running our respective operating systems on our own machines but have no experience working with or administering a server or a network. I am going to pay someone to help me wire up the house with gigabit Ethernet cabling and install the server and Linux server software.
    I am a photographer and want to spend my time doing the things photographers do - eg not fiddling around getting a server to work and our computers to connect. I want a system that is just going to work once it is installed. I don't want to have to pay someone to come and help me when something goes wrong.
    How do I know if I am getting in over my head here?

    If neither of you are well versed in Linux, then why would you want to install a Linux server? That makes no sense to me. Why wouldn't you just install a Mac or Windows server?
    *"How do I know if I am getting in over my head here?"*
    There's no way anyone here can answer that question. While you say you're both proficient in your respective operating systems, we still have no way of knowing how proficient you are because we are not you. Only you can make that assessment and decision.

    Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash.  Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper.  It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
    Another software that does the above is AppDelete.  Best of all this software is free!
    Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the  luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
    Dropbox is a free storage facility software.
    You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space.  Most if not all do now-a-days.   There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also.  Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
    Check for duplicate fonts.
    Applications>Font Book
    Select “All Fonts”
    If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
    To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
    Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
    What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts.  Not delete them.
    More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
    Clear out font caches
    Use FontNuke.  It does all the work for you.  And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
    Printer Drivers
    Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
    HD>Library>Printers Folder
    If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
    Garage Band
    Has about 1GB of loops stored.  Get rid of some some them.  You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
    HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
    Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
    Get rid of extra languages
    Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
    You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual.  Another app that apparently does all the work for you.  I’ve never used it.  However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
    However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

    Rule of thumb: You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.
