App started from SMB-Share crashes frequently!

Hello!
I have a customer that has to start a medical program via SMB share. With Server 10.6.8 there was no trouble at all - since we replaced the server with Server 2.2.2 we are in big trouble
The customer uses Windows 7 as client systems and connects to a share at the Mountain Lion server. The clients can connect to the share without any trouble, but when I start the application the trouble begins.
Sometimes the app crashes immedialtly, sometimes the app runs for hours and suddently crashes. A message pops up telling "The program BlahBlah.exe does not react anymore" and thats it. Sometimes the application crashes five times a day at one client while at the same time at another client it runs stable.
So the crashes do not occure at the same time on all clients, it is intermittend. Sometimes the app does not crash at all during the day at one client, the next day it crashes 5-10 times at the same client.
Most of the clients are freshly installed Windows 7 systems.
I setup the timeouts at the Registry as mentioned in another discussion - frist this seams to help, but today the customer called and told me that today every thing looks like before the app crashes intermittend on every client.
I setup smbd with the -debug flag but I can not see that this changes anything in logging messages. The eventprotocol from Windows tells me that it tried to load a dll but the network share was not available.
When I browse the network share when a crash occured I can not see any problems - but I see lots of SMB logins after a crash. Looks like Windows trys to reconnect. AFAIK the connection was never lost.
The customer has a mac mini server, 16GB RAM with a Promise Thudnerbolt RAID running Mountain Lion Server 2.2.2.
Every help is highly welcome, bye
Christoph

Copy file from SMB share to Desktop permissions

I have connected to a SMB share point (Windows Server)and copy a file to my desktop (Mac OS X 10.6.4).
The file on my desktop shows I have the read and write access, however, everyone has no access.
I could not get the system administrator to change on the server side. Is it possible to make any changes from my machine to make at lease every has read only access?
Thanks in advance.

I downloaded D2KWUtil from the link suggested by you. It has very nice example demo form. But the documentation provided says following
Using D2KWUTIL in Web Deployed Applications
The use of this library is not supported with Web deployed applications.
In a web deployment scenario not all functions within D2KWUTIL will work. Any function that interacts with the User Interface (such as those in the WIN_API_DIALOG package) will fail.
Any interaction with the O/S by other functions will all be executed on the NT server and will act within, or return information pertinant to, the environment on that machine. For instance GET_COMPUTER_NAME will return the Server’s name, not the name of the computer that the Client browser is running on. Likewise COPY_FILE will copy files in the Forms Server not on the Client.
Functions such as those in WIN_API_BITOP will continue to work without change.
so this will not work in web deployed application.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

ITunes freezes when adding music file from smb share

As title states, if I try to add more than 15/20 files to iTunes, it freezes and there's no turning back.
All my music is stored on my home-server (running Gentoo/Linux) and I have always used it with success until iTunes 10 came out.
The only thing I can do is to unmount the remote directory, open iTunes and remove the music.
I've already tried to upgrade to v10.0.1 but no luck so far.
Any clue?
Thank you

This has gotten to be a real problem for me as well. It freezes for about 40 seconds for each song I add. It even comes up as "not responding" at times in the force quit dialogue box. I rolled back to iTunes 9.2.1 as described here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603684&tstart=0
Others have reported this fixing the problem, but it has NOT fixed it for me. I have my media on an SMB share and my library files were on the local hard drive. I tried moving the library files over to the SMB share, but it didn't improve anything.
I've been using "Activity Monitor" to look at what's going on and there's minimal CPU usage. But I am noticing something odd: the "Reads in" and "Writes out" figures are pretty much the same, which is what I would expect as I'm copying song files from my internal HD to the SMB share. But the "Data read" and "Data written" figures are very different. It's reading over twice as much data as it's writing. Either I'm misunderstanding what I'm looking at or something isn't right here. Anyone with more technical chops care to jump in?
I'd post a picture, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.
I'm also wondering if there are corrupted plist files or other invisible files that can be deleted and rebuilt? I used "Filebuddy" to unhide the files and found a file in the iTunes folder called "sentinel". Anyone know what that is?

IDCS2: Can only open an .indd Ready Only from smb share on Windows Server

Is there any way to save an open .indd document back to a smb share on a Windows server? I know the preferred Abobe method is to drag the file from the server to the desktop, edit it there, then close InDesign and drag the file back to the server. I first encountered this problem when I moved the shared publishing folder from an NT 4 server to 2003 Server which didn't support afp shares. As long as I kept my OS X Macs from updating past 10.4.0, I could still save back to the Samba share on the Windows sever.
Recently, I moved everything again to a Windows 2008 Active Directory domain server. After fixed the whole "digitally sign communications' security settings problem so my Macs could actually connect, I found I could no longer automount server volume by dragging the into Logon Items.
Letting my G5 Macs update to OS 10.4.11 fixed that, but now I can't save back to the server from inside InDesign again. I'm dealing with students (and instructors) and presenting them with a convoluted procedure for opening and saving files and saying blame it on Apple/Microsoft/Adobe doesn't fly too well. It's been about three years, please tell me there is a fix or a better workaround.

-36 is a bit generic, but usually means the Windows® machine is denying because of bad Password. Have you tried deleting that particular reference/share in Keychain Access and redoing it?

Remove Printers folder from SMB share

I've setup some folders to be shared via AFP and SMB. When I connect to the server via SMB in Windows Vista, I see the shared folder and also a "Printers" folder.
Is there any way to remove the "printers" folder. I don't plan on sharing any printers.
thanks

I don't see this behavior on any of my afp or smb shares. also, this is strictly a user to user forum and is not a proper place to report bugs. that should be done via apple bug reporter

Why does my mac keep disconnecting from SMB Share

Hi Guys,
I'm having a little issue with my office network. We have a small network of 4 Windows 7 PC's and 2 Apple Macbooks pro running Snow leopard 10.6.8
We use to have an old server that was running Windows XP which was working great with all the computers. 2 weeks ago the server died, so instead of buying a new server I just moved the "Shared" folder (with all our files) to one of the Windows 7 PC's and made that our new server.
Everything has been working fine between the PC's, they have NO issue. But the macs refuse to stay connected. They'll connect fine and work Ok for a few hours, but eventually they will always disconnect and we'll have to restart them. We restart them several times a day and it's very annoying.
The windows 7 share is just a regular share with the "everyone" group getting full permissions (even though we connect with the Administrator account on the PC). I disable 128bit encryption, and enabled SMB file sharing on the macs, I disabled sleep and hibernation on all machines but it still disconnects.
Does anybody have any ideas to what could be causing this or what alternatives I can take?
Is there a way to start an AFP server on that Windows machine?

Hey sydthekyd5,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your home Wi-Fi network. Check out the following resource for relevant information regarding your symptoms:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202222
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
- Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
- Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
1. Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.
See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
2. Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Will apple reject 32 bit apps starting from Feb 1st?

Hi,
I would like to know if apple will reject any apps submitted to app store for not being 64 bit compatible. My app is compatible with iOS7 and Xcode 5; also it runs fine on iPhone5s.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I've Updated App Builder, gone back to the DPS App Builder portal, regenerated new zip and ipa files and downloaded them.
I clicked the Application Loader 3.0 link, downloaded the latest Appication Version, clicked on the "Deliver your App" button, and submitted the newly built App that was built using 32.4.2 version. (All the app icons were listed as "stored on server" so I presume they are all ok). The .zip file appeared to 'deliver' to Apple successfully. I've tried to resubmit it but get ta "Redundant Binary Upload. There already exists a binary upload with build version..." error message, so presume the orginal binary upload was successful. I have no idea how I can get this app from the "prepare for submission", to "in review". The last time I thought I'd submitted this app I got as far as the "waiting for review" status, and no further.
At the moment I don't have a"+" button in the Build section - as mentioned on page 66 of Adobe's Step_by_step_guide_to_dps_se.pdf.
So I can't add the new .zip file to the iTunes Connect > My Apps portal in the Build section of the Versions tab.
I have put a support email into Apple, but don't expect a reply any day soon.
The problem with starting all the way back through the App wizard is that I really want to use all the same App Name, Bundle ID, and details etc.
Do you mean, going back to the Folio Producer Panel, and building a whole new App?
This process certainly isn't for the faint-hearted!
HELP!

Slippery problem: disappearing data from SMB shares

I have an Xserve running 10.5.8 serving as a Samba PDC for my school. Clients are using XP Pro SP2. Every user gets a home directory which is mounted at logon as a mapped drive, and a profile folder which contains the Desktop, My Documents, personal settings, etc.
Every so often a student comes to me because they lost data from their profile. It's a very hard thing to diagnose; often it's user error, but I think not always. Sometimes I can find the missing file(s) on the local drive of the Windows machine if I log on as the local admin, but again, not always. Today I had a student lose a 7-page term paper and he was beside himself. I couldn't find it on the client machine or anywhere on the server.
Has anyone encountered such a problem, or have any other suggestions for how/where to look?

Using OpenDNS is not an option for me for one reason alone: I need to use our internal Nameserver in order to resolve internal IP-Addresses.
The solution under:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2134936&tstart=45
claims the issue is due to a reverse lookup bug in Windows DNS-Server.
To me that sound's a bit unlikely since half of mankind would then suffer from this issue...but still possible
I tried to put the IP Address of the SMB server (which also is the Active Directory Server) into /private/etc/hosts.
This alone did not help. I then realized with help of Google that OS X would not consult /privat/etc/hosts ( == /etc/hosts) by default when using DHCP.
I was under the assumption that /etc/hosts would always the evaluated in first place.
This made me look at /etc/resolv.conf. And I added "order hosts, bind" to it. Unfortunately I can't really tell if that is a supported directive by OS X. The resolv.conf man page is not explicit about it.
Since I'm using DHCP the file resolv.conf is updated by the OS whenever I change network config. And I do change it a lot...
I've written a quick sh script that I can call to add the order directive to the file.
It's:
#!/bin/sh
mv /var/run/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.new
echo order hosts, bind > /var/run/resolv.conf
cat /etc/resolv.conf.new >> /etc/resolv.conf
While is can only be considered a dirty hack, I'm not sure it's the real solution to the problem.
After making the change connection seems to work better on the LAN. There are still situations though when fetching the directory content is very slow from Finder.
The hack is not an option at all when I'm on a VPN connection. I assume that this is due to the fact that /etc/resolv.conf might not be used for the VPN connection.
I'm counting on 10.6.2

Illustrator CS5 Mac - slow opening EPS from SMB share

Hi folks,
Have a customer that is having an issue with opening EPS files in Adobe Illustrator CS5 15.0.2 (all updates applied) on a Core i5 iMac (8 GB RAM) under Mac OS X 10.6.6.
It will take minutes to open up a larger size EPS file (98 MB in one test case extensively). I can copy this same file to the local disk in a matter of a second or two, and the file opens in 5-6 seconds, as opposed to several minutes. Looking at Activity Monitor, I don't see significant CPU utilization but network througput pegs at 4.2 MBit. I've confirmed the switch and the iMac are both seeing 1000Mbit, full duplex.
Interestingly enough, if I take said .EPS file and save it as an .AI file, and copy that up to the server (couple seconds, file size drops to 68 MB), I am able to open the file off the server in seconds. It's only when it's EPS format is there a problem. Of course, the customer's output device RIP will not accept anything other than .EPS, so changing workflows and file formats isn't an option.
I duplicated this performance issue on multiple machines on their network, so it's not just an issue with one computer, but all of them. I am not privy to the details of the server, have an email in to ask.
I know that Adobe generally does not recommend working directly off a file server; however I'd venture to say that most 3+ person design/production groups do exactly that. If .AI works correctly, can't see why .EPS wouldn't...

Replying to my own post...
It was Suitcase Fusion 3 and its Illustrator CS5 auto-activation plugin. Disabled the plugin, performance delays go away.

Slow transfer from/to SMB share over Airport

Recently I updated my Macbook's Airport with 2008-004 (OSX 10.5.5) update and now I am experiencing very slow transfers to and from SMB share.
I get normal speeds (~3MBps) if I copy file from my macbook to iMac, but when I copy the same file to (or from) Windows share the speed drops to ~130kBps after 1 or 2 gigabytes of transfer and never recovers to full speed afterwards. If I connect to this Windows machine using FTP the transfer speed is normal - 3MBps.
I also tried streaming to my appleTV which is also connected wirelessly and all movies play just fine.
If I connect my macbook to wired 100Mbps ethernet the transfer speed to windows share is full 8MBps.
Anyone has any ideas what's happening?

This has been an ongoing problem of the Airport Extreme for, well, forever. In the beginning, I even thought my AE was broken, so I returned it to the shop to get a new one. I got a new one alright, but it has the same problem.
I've Googled this problem many times and once in a while I try again to hopefully find a solution, but no luck so far. Whenever there is a software (or actually firmware) update for the AE I get very excited, only to get disappointed again.
The performance of the AE I have now is really unpredictable, sometimes it would do up to 8 MB/sec. Lately though, it only does 1 MB/sec and the network activity looks really weird (a lot of spikes in traffic and then slowing down again).
I'm 100% Mac here and nothing in this house runs windows, so I'm really lost on this subject and I feel like I should give up and just buy myself a good Linksys that actually does the job.
But, just to keep trying: does anybody found a solution to this common problem?

Slow start of app from Windows-Share

Hi,
i have an ZFD-App which has to start an *.EXE from a Windows-Server. The command ist like \\winserver\icd\path\boxes.exe When I start this ZEN-App I have to wait longer than 30 seconds before I can see a logon-windows of this program. If I make a good old local link on my WinXP-desktop and I start this I see the logon-windows after only 2 seconds. This is e very big difference.
I tested this scenario with another EXE from another windows-share, it's the same problem.
Any suggestions?

Well, if the user/workstation isn't authenticated to your windows box before
the app starts, its going to have different timeout issues (I'm not sure how
you have the app assocated).
My suggestion: copy the exe to a location that the user/workstation already
has rights to. Not sure why you have to run the app from a server the user
doesn't have rights to already.
You might be able to build in the authentication prompt into your app with a
pre-launch script (i.e. net use )

IPad 1 Safari crashes frequently. I went to many Apple stores in different countries and each Apple staff member had their own different opinions with no help. I had upgraded my iOS to 5.1.1 and the Safari crashing started about one year

IPad 1 Safari crashes frequently. I went to many Apple stores in different countries and each Apple staff member had their own different opinions with no help. I had upgraded my iOS to 5.1.1 and the Safari crashing started about one year after the upgrade and some Apple staff blame this- but this started one year later after the iOS upgrade. Recently at the Apple Store in Vancouver an Apple staff reset my computer (erased everything and sent to iCloud to reset the iPad) and I hoped this would fix the problem. IPad Safari still crashes. Short of booking an appointment for taking it for repair to Apple technicians which will cost me money can anyone help me to fix this Safari crashing.

Hi,
You might have a 3rd party plugin that isn't compatible with Safari 4.0.4. Go here for help...
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
If you are using a USB hub, try disconnecting and restarting with just your keyboard and mouse connected.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

It contains fixes that might help. Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored.

IPhone 5s camera app won't open and crashes from lock screen and control menu

Hello, I recntly got a Black iPhone 5s 16gb and it was working fine. Then sudenly the camera app started crashing after i took photos. Soon later the camera app wont open at all and if i try opening from the lockscreen the phone just reboots. Ive tried just resetting all settings just off the phone and nothing happened, so i decided to restore my iPhone to factory settings and still had no luck. I also had a problem with the flashlight it stopped working aswell (went gray on control menu) and all flashlight apps wont even. I also found out that my snapcat front camera (selfie camera works) and there is no 'swap button.
This is the second time Ive been suffering from a camera issue the first one was ery similar the shutter wouldnt open because there was no memory, but now ive got 9.1GB free so this cant be the problem. Other reviews i have read state that the phone has a hardwear issue and need to be replaced.

FIX FOR REAR CAMERA AND FLASHLIGHT!!!
I also had the same flash and rear camera problems as everyone else but I figured it was a software problem.
To fix the flash/flashlight, simply download the flashlight app. The one everyone used before iOS 7. The flash should work immediately.
To fix the rear camera go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Enable restrictions and turn the Camera off, then take the restriction off. Check your camera, it should work immediately.
Hope this answers a lot of questions and saves a bunch of money due to Apple's failures.
Cheers,
Tim

Screen flickering after iOS 6.1 update and some apps crashing frequently on my iPhone 4 .. I didn't have this in 6.0.1 back when people complained about it

hello, I had no keyboard flickering issues back when my iPhone 4 was on iOS 6.0.1 then I updated to 6.1 yesterday and now I have apps crashing frequently and keyboard flickering? anyone else having the same issue after the update? any known solution?

I'm having the same issue on my iPhone 4 since yesterday when I updated to iOS 6.1 from 5.1.1.
After about an hour after the upgrade, it crashed/rebooted itself and went completely white/grey screen with a brighter white line in the middle. My power/sleep button was broke already, so I couldn't do anything on it. I left it to drain the battery for about 6 hours. During that time, the edges around the white/grey screen became darker and darker like burn-in effect. After it ran out of the battery, I connected the phone to the PC through USB and iTunes let me restore it to iOS 6.1 firmware I downloaded before.
The restore was successful, but the entire screen keeps flickering rapidly, not just a part of the screen.
Is it hardware or software related issue?? Any idea?

Line app crashes frequently in iOS 8

I just downloaded iOS 8 via itunes with my phpne connected to my macbook. After updating, I find that my line App crashes a lot. I restarted my phone, and it still crashes, I tried closing all my apps including Line and restarting (for some reason the phone was remembering which apps were open even after turning it off and then on again and logging in with my pin) and even after quiting all my apps, turning the phone off and then on again, when I opened line, I had to open it over 4 times before it would stop immediately crashing after being opened. In total I have had the app crash (completely close) immediately after being opened over 12 times in the first 5 minutes after updating to iOS 8, and before on iOS 7 I maybe experienced Line crash once. It hasn't crashed since I opened it the last (5th?) time, but I don't want to have to deal with it crashing frequently or every time I restart my phone :/
I am using an iPhone 5s if that helps.

Just so you know I did uninstall and reinstall LINE and this did stop the app from crashsing. HOWEVER, users should be aware that doing this means all your history, chats, and users you added outside of your phone book will be deleted. So you should keep this in mind if having all your historical stuff is important. I think the biggest bad problem is that users you added manually will all be wipped out from your profile and you have to go back and re-add them again. Not a big deal if you only have a couple to re-add, but a problematic if you have 100's of users missing and have to re-add them.
