Apple reps having a hard time deploying mac notebooks on windows 2003 netwo

Here are the issues we are having any help would be appreciated, we had a few laptops imaged, but we came to find out that the Macbooks were not able to print to any of the printers in the school.
We then moved onto testing the internet and networking on the Macbooks. This is where we ran into another problem, the Macbooks were not setup by the Apple reps to use the proxy settings for the wired connection, only the wireless. Even manually adding the settings, the machines were constantly asking for username and passwords in order to get to the internet or network places. When we questioned why this was happening and why the machines were not authenticating through Active Directory the reps told us to get rid of the proxy to make the their machines work. We also inquired why the drive mappings had not been setup like the Windows users had. Like the other issues, the Apple reps had no answers as to why it wasn’t working and didn’t have a plan of action to fix them.
ANy ideas

Depending on proxy used maybe look into using authoxy http://www.hrsoftworks.net/Products.html

I'm not sure how you would like Windows server volumes be mounted on the mac as you usually see the share name on the mac desktop when mounted (no local mapping like \\servername\share name mapped to X: ).
Are the machines bound to AD or not?
No problems with signed SMB?

  • I have lost my calendar data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. Can anyone help? I am using Mountain lion OS

    I have lost my iCal data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. I am using Mountain Lion OS om iMac. Can anyone help?

    You cannot see it because it is hidden.. one of those great things apple does.. if it is hidden in your Mac then it will be hidden in the Time Machine Backup.
    You will need to restore the entire folder to a different location.. and unhide it.
    There is some info here about restoring particular files or folders.

    And some info from Lion which should also relate to Mountain Lion.

    There is stuff about recovery near the end.
    One wonders sometimes when Apple make these decisions if they ever think about what happens when something goes wrong. Hiding files..???

  • Having a hard time signing into websites with Safari

    Hi, I'm having a hard time signing in my username and password for e-mail addresses I use and for message boards as well. I use Safari all the time accept for my school website that requires IE. Anyways, I use Comcast and I have been trying to sign into my e-mail address name and everyime I click "sign in mail" Safari says "Safari Can't Open Page". So then, I went to my AIM mail to sign in there and then it said the same thing. Then I went to this Apple Forum to ask if anyone knows what the problem is, and then when I went to sign into here, the same thing. So right now I am using Camino, but can anyone help me with this problem or is anyone having the same problem as me? Thanks.

    I too have been having a problem of logging into certain websites with a username and password. Instead of logging in successfully with Safari, a blank page or an error would occur.
    This happened for: citibank, comcast, sprint, and miscellaneous other sites.
    This problem apparently had something to do with my cookies since erasing my cookies seemed to solve the problem. Here's how to do it:
    Safari -> Preferences...-> Security -> Show Cookies -> Remove All.

  • Having a hard time deleting some mail from junk!  Every time I delete it returns to the junk mail instantly!  Won't go away!  What's up with that

    Having a hard time deleting two junk mail messages!  I press edit , I check the message, I try to delete and a screen message appears telling me the message cannot be removed!  Not sure what to do here!  Please advise?

    Did you try swiping across the message in the preview window rather than use the Edit button? If you still can't delete the messages, quite mail and reboot the iPad and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that still doesn't work, log into your email in a web browser and delete the junk mail there.

  • I'm trying to install a Citrix XenApp for work purposes and am having a hard time. The message "The installer has insufficient priveleges to this directory...

    I'm trying to install a Citrix XenApp for work purposes and am having a hard time. The message "The installer has insufficient priveleges to this directory: C:\Program Files (x86) \Mozilla Firefox \Plugins \resource. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator." I am using a Toshiba Satellite laptop and am the only user and administrator as well. I have read other Firefox support articles and google answers but nothing has resolved this issue. Please help! Be detailed and visual if possible

    There are no BIOS settings, because Macs don't have a BIOS. I don't use Parallels, but I assume it has simulated BIOS settings. You'd have to consult its documentation to find out how to change them.

  • I am having a hard time downloading an app

    I am having a hard time downloading Youtube, I deleted and then I tapped on the cloud button to download again, and I am connected to wifi. How do I know it isn't downloading the pop up where it shows your email/iCloud account and asks for your password doesn't show up, which then shows downloaded not completed

    Reset the device then try again.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

    SMS is a carrier function. If you're having trouble with sending them, you should start by contacting your carrier.
    Best of luck.
