ARD 1.2-Keychain-10.3.X cannot connect

Hi... I am in a university lab with 42 iMacs G4, with OSX 10.3.8. The teacher's iMac has ARD 1.2. The students use their university account to login to iMacs. As a regular user of the lab I set up the computers in my account to access st. iMacs using ARD. It worked fine from Feb 2006 to now. Still works OK for me.
However, the problem now is that a new user (new teacher) cannot set up computers using his account or even a administrator's account on the teacher's iMac. Previous users can also still set up - it is only new users using ARD for the first time cannot set up.
Searching this Forum it appears Keychain could be the culprit. The tech guys are currently testing the server and client systems by going back to previous versions of 10.3. So far they have found that SERVER 10.3.2 with CLIENT 10.3.3 will allow new users to set up computers in ARD 1.2.
They will actually go through each version and test - so good of them - but are there any pointers or comments more experienced ARD and server users here can advise, please?
Is this a previously known issue?
BTW - we cannot upgrade to 10.4 due to lease of iMacs ending in 2008 whereupon we will lease new Intel iMacs.

problem solved but unsure how - it was something to do with the Keychain and ARD 1.2 . If I can get the technician to sit down and go through the solution with me (as I would like to know, of course) I will post a summary later.

Open Sysem Preferences from your Apple () menu top left in your screen then select the Firewall tab.
Make sure the Firewall is turned off.

Macbook Pro Cannot Connect to SMTP

I am running a 2010 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. I use Mac Mail app to send and receive e-mail. Since Thursday 27th Dec 2012 I have been unable to send e-mail. I get the grey spinning wheel until the following error message appears:
The SMTP connection to server “mail.(mydomain).co.uk” failed.
My outgoing mail server is currently showing as offline. In fact I have 2 e-mail accounts and both are showing as offline. No problem receiving mail. Connection doctor connects fine to incoming mail, but not outgoing.
I have tried the following (plus other things) without any success:
Checked all the details, passwords etc
Changed ports from 25 to 465 and 587
Checked my IP address - it is not blacklisted
Removed and re-added e-mail account
Telnet port 25 - it is not blocked, but appeared to successfully connect (from what I understood from checking www)
Temporarily disabled firewall
Re-installed Mac app
Rebuilt mailbox
Repaired disk permissions
Used the repair disk utility
Deselected SSL and changed various options within "Edit SMTP server list"
Reset the keychain
Tried updating software but it says no update available.
Re-instated an old Accounts.plist (and one other file which I forget, something like com.apple.mail) from time capsule.
I then set up a hotmail account on Mail app but had exactly the same problem, ie cannot connect with SMTP server.
However, I set up my e-mail account on my wife's iPad with the same details and there was no problem at all, e-mail sent just fine as it does from my iPhone. So the issue has to be with my Macbook, right? Can anyone help before I go and spent £1250 on a new Macbook? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app. I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send. I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success. Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem. As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work. So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

ITunes 7.5 and OSX 10.4.11 - CANNOT CONNECT TO iTUNES STORE

After a recent upgrade to iTunes 7.5 and OSX 10.4.11, I can no longer connect to the iTunes store. I have tried reinstalling iTunes 7.5 (and Quicktime - just in case!). I have also tried Keychain First Aid. Still it is broken. Please help me with this problem if you know of a fix.

i can't connect to the itunes store on 2 out of 3 macs in the house!!! this occurred in the last 48 hrs or so... although i downloaded a movie this week which took ages vs the normal time.
all connected through the same airport & have same settings & all other internet stuff fine.
i don't have any snitch.
i checked versions of software for os x and itunes on each machine:
(cannot connect) powerbook g4 runs 10.4.11 and itunes 7.5
(cannot connect) macbook 2.2 ghz runs 10.5.1 and itunes 7.5
(connects to store) macbook 2 ghz runs 10.4.10 and itunes 7.4.2
would indicate something wrong with itunes 7.5 but can't be sure...

New iPod Touch 4th gen. cannot connect to home wi-fi network

When I launch wi-fi on my new iPod Touch 4th gen. my home network's name is displayed, but after entering my password the iPod is unable to connect - the wheel to the left of the network name just keeps spinning. The network still functions properly for all my other devices (MacBook, 2nd gen. iPod Touch, wireless printer and my wife's PC) and the new iPod Touch did connect to the network in the Apple Store when I visited yesterday. I know the password I enetered for my home network is correct because I've checked it in my keychain, and also the iPod did not inform me that it was the wrong password for that network - as it does if I enter another password.
I have followed the advice given to others - unplugging the Time Capsule and leaving it for 5 minutes, checking that all my software and firmware is up to date, 'forgetting' the network on my new iPod then searching for it again, and have completely restored the iPod - but it still cannot connect to my network. If my network is functioning properly, and my new iPod was capable of joining the Apple Store's network yesterday, and I am sure that I am entering the correct password, it seems to me that my problem must be due to some network setting that is refusing to allow a new device to connect. I can't find where that setting might be - can anyone advise?

depending on what router but hopefully all routers came to this default address....
192.168.1.1/Wireless_MAC.asp
from
>Setup of the Basic Setup you goto
>Wireless
>WirelessMacFilter
also had an idea when i wanna make sure im typing the right one, i would do is tap each letter/# by 1, as in,
(e.q.)
here's my ipod 4 and my ipod 2, the pswd is 123456
ipod 4, i press 1
ipod 2, i press 1
ipod 4, i press 2
ipod 2, i press 2
and so on till i reach both of them to 6 (1by1) to make sure i get it in there right. saw this on another wall it might depends on what channel your using, but i dont rly think that matters bc i have mine on auto and nvr had a problem.
i would do this even thou it may sound crazy to others....if i were you this is what i would do
on your ipod 2Gen
>Safari
>address to 192.168.1.1/WL_WPATable.asp
-(wireless security settings for passcode)
>tap the box for the password, whatever ur security is i would copy
-IF WEP
-copy phrase key and Key 1
-IF WPA
-copy phrase key
>open Notepad
>under iCloud account Notepad
>Paste the Key
>either on your pc/mac or your 2nd Gen, go back to
>192.168.1.1/WL_WPATable.asp
>change your Security Mode to Disable
>goto your 4 Gen iPod Touch
>goto settings and connect to it, if pswd is still in it then tap forget this network and reconnect to it
-once connected and got IP adresses
>goto Notpad under iCloud
-you should have obtained your recent icloud msgs included the key you pasted
-once obtained
>gobk to pc/mac or ipod 2nd gen and re enabled the security and re-paste the key in
-once router adjusted try to connect to it
>1st do your 2nd gen and forget this network reconnect to it and repaste the key
>2nd goto ur 4rth gen from your notes, highlight the key in ur notpad and tap copy and forget this network reconnect to it and paste the key.
this should work bc i did it myself when i couldnt get connected bc thats almost the same steps i did.
somtimes i put my name up on here. remeber these names we put as our nickname doesnt mean its our real name or anything like that,

Cannot connect to iTunes store after software restore

Hello, all,
Last week I took my iMac in to the Apple Store to have its internal hard drive replaced. After retrieving the computer, I did a restore off of my Time Machine backup. The restore went smoothly...except that I now cannot do iCloud-related things, particularly iTunes.
--When I launch iTunes, I get a series of error dialogues, advising that the computer does not recognize various certificates (an example would be "buy.itunes.apple.com"); each of these errors advise me that my personal information could be at risk.
--The iTunes Store storefront is blank, though in the title bar I do see my account name.
--When I navigate to iCloud in my browser, Safari informs me that it cannot recognize the iCloud certificate.
--Attempting to sync my iPhone via cable connection, iTunes advises me that the computer is not authorized to share applications downloaded by [my iPhone]. Clicking to authorize yields "We could not complete your iTunes Store request" unknown error dialogues. Other parts of the sync do not complete successfully.
--I cannot connect to the Apple App Store.
Other standard internet functions are working correctly.
I attempted to log out and log back in to iCloud, but logging out failed. "Could not log out of your account at this time." Prior to getting that error, the OS asked me if I wanted local copies of my iCloud [contacts, calendars, notes] kept on my computer. I indicated that, no, I didn't want local copies...despite not logging off successfully all my iCloud information is still gone from the computer.
All content is, however, intact on my iPhone. iPhoto appears to be working fine, on brief inspection, and I have successfully downloaded images off of my iPhone (via cable).
Looking for guidance; is there a plist file I should delete, for example?
System information:
--Early 2008 iMac
--OS X 10.8.3
--iTunes 11.0.4
--iTunes library hosted on an external HDD
Thanks for any help you can provide!

OK, I've worked it out with the Apple support team, and it was a real doozie. Don't know if anyone else has ever encountered this, but none of the people I spoke with had ever seen it (level 1 support, level 2 support, plus whoever it would be that advises level 2). It was not the authentication problem.
Somehow or other, the central certificates that are part of the OS that recognize Apple services became invalid, or at least the system THOUGHT they were invalid. With the guidance of Apple support, I examined the system certificates via Keychain Access, identified those that were marked invalid, and set them to "always trust." That still didn't work. We removed variuos plists and configurations, hoping that reboots would cause these files to be recreated new...that didn't work.
No Apple services worked: not iCloud, not iTunes, not App Store, not even the remote access program that Apple support had me download to enable screen sharing. All of them gave some version of "cannot verify the identity of the server [something].apple.com.
In the end I had to wipe everything clean and reinstall again from a Time Machine backup. At the suggestion of Apple support, I did not use the most recent backup, but rather one that predated the initial issue that brought about the HDD replacement; it was about a week old. Except for a couple of files that rolled back to earlier versions, everything now works.
Don't know if this had anything to do with anything, but here are some minor things that I noticed:
(1) My Time Machine backups were all for OS X 10.8.4. The Apple Store team that installed my new HDD installed 10.8.3. The mechanism for importing user accounts from external sources (such as my Time Machine backup) indicated a copy, not necessarily a recovery. I would believe it if you told me that there were changes to security settings between 10.8.3 and 10.8.4
(2) There were two different mechanisms I used in the two different restores. As I mentioned above, when I did my initial restore it may have been just an import of user accounts and applications -- this was part of the first-time launch of the freshly-installed 10.8.3 OS, the part we've probably all seen where we're invited to do just that. The second time, however, was via the Recovery Partition: that tool is much more direct and offers more options. For one, it recognized all of the different versions of my system in my Time Machine backup, and gave me these options with date and OS listed. This option was not available via the first method.
So, given that no one at Apple seemed to know how this happened, it may very well be that no one reading this may ever see this happen to them. But the lesson I've taken from this is to utilize the Recovery Partition rather than the import function.

Cannot connect to EM on ODD guest from Windows host

Hello,
I cannot connect to the Enterprise Manager in my guest VM from my host. From a IE v8.0 browser, the recommended link https://192.168.56.101:1158/em fails to connect.
I installed Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.0.4 on a Windows 7 laptop and imported the Oracle Developer Days (ODD) VM appliance. Within the ODD VM I started Enterprise Manager with the cmd "emctl start dbconsole". I confirmed the listener is up and running in the ODD VM.
I checked my Windows Firewall and the MS Telnet Client is allowed through on IP 192.168.56.101 on local port 1158.
Suggestions?
Cheers,
David

Apple Support could reproduce the problem, and provided the solution:
Assuming that VNC is configured in the sharing prefs (under Apple Remote Desktop), it is enough to disable ARD in the sharing prefs. Once you do this (presumably via Apple Remote Desktop) you'll obviously lose your connection.
To restart ARD again from the commandline, connect to your server with ssh and issue the following commands:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -activate
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent
now you should be able to connect to your server with ARD again....
.... and all connections with VNC should work as well!!
splendid, thanks apple support!

Cannot Connect to the iBooks Store

When I open the iBooks store in Mavericks I get "Cannot Connect to the iBooks Store". Also, in Safari anything it cannot connect to anything that uses HTTPS (secure/encrypted connection) such as Twitter. However I do not know if that persisted from Mountain Lion, as I use Firefox. It is solely with my computer, the other mac on Mavericks connects just fine. However, here's where it gets strange. My iPhone, which I have my keychain synced to, does not have a problem. Additionally, the iTunes Store on iTunes can connect to the books section. I've tried going through my certificates and resetting them to Use System Default, using First Aid, changing my MTU in Network Preferences to 1300, and fixing disk permissions, but none of that worked. I have no proxies and no DNS servers.
I'm getting this error in this console whenever I open iBooks: NSURLConnection/CFURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9813).

I have exactly the same issue as describet by "bengersfoo", i.e.
"I can find exactly the certificate that pavelfrompraha mentions, and it is set to "Always Trust".
But I cannot reem to reset it to System Defaults. When I choose that option it has always reverted to "Always Trust" whenever I check again."
It would be very helpful if someone could please explain how to make the "System Defaults" setting stick.

Cannot connect to Appstore for updates or sign in

MBP early 2011
ML 10.8.1
can access all areas of Appstore except Updates - I get a "Cannot connect to Appstore" message
can sign in to iTunes
when I try to SIgn in to App Store I dont even get a login screen
have tried all kinds of fixes from the forums and Google search but no luck
Any ideas anyone?

Talked with a senior engineer from Apple who resolved this issue for me. It involved re-setting the privilieges of a specific Certificate (in Keychain) to system defaults. I then had to Trash two files:
/var/db/crls/ocspcache.db
/var/db/crls/cricache.db
After re-starting, the problem was resolved.
Sorry, I don't have more details, but if you have this problem, you may want to call Apple and mention this procedure, which they have on file.
What caused this? No one seems to know.

I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have my settings all out of whack now and need to get them back to the way they were when it was working. (I know my wireless router is working because my Dell has no problem connecting to the internet.)

I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.

On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

Cannot connect to internet after software update

I have an old powerbook G4 running Mac OS X 10.3.9 (this is one of 3 macs) I also have an airport Extreme and an airport Express to make a network in my home. Frequently, after a software update to the old computer, it has trouble getting back on to the internet. Usually, adjusting access to the Keychain fixes this.
Now, after a software update last week--I cannot get on the internet with this computer at all. The computer is connected to the network, the password is in the keychain, the signal is strong (all of the other computers can get on to the network)--but whenever I try to get on, I get 'cannot connect to the server'.
(btw, Last evening, the issue resolved itself for about 3 hours--I don't know why--but today it is out again.) Can anyone help?

Hi, Rathh. Always use Disk Utility to repair permissions immediately after installing any software update that uses Apple's Installer application, or that is installed by the Software Update function accessed through the Apple Menu.

Hi Rathh!
You might want to repost your question in one of these PowerBook forums (pick which model of the G4 PowerBooks you have):
Internet, Networking and a PowerBook G4 17-inch

AirPort does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet.

Wi Fi problems
I have recently changed from a old netgear router to using a vigor 120 modem with airport extreme
Internet connection is established but my airport express reports "AirPort does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet." although status is ON and the correct wifi address appears.
My iPhone also identifies the correct network but cannot connect
Any suggestions?

I don't have any phones, so not aware of the options, but on a Mac to fix this problem it'd likely be...
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. Before I went through network diagnostics and all of that stuff in system preferences, and then I tried the "Join Other Network" method, and now it works like a dream.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028445#17028445
Or...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot

Cannot Connect to App Store / Establish Secure Server Connection

I've seen a lot of posts on this:
App Store Error: "Cannot Connect to the App Store" (No Internet Connection)
Google (or any other https://) Site Error: "Cannot Establish a Secure Server Connection"
My OS is 10.8.5.
Obviously, I've checked that I have an internet connection. FireFox works... non-secure (http://) sites work... I'm starting to pull my hair out.
These are all suggestions from posts that I've seen. Some worked for some people, but not me!
I've checked that my Date & Time are correct, as suggested.
I've created a new Network Location in my Network System Prefs. Nope. Didn't help.
I've gone thru every Certificate in my Utilities / Keychain Access and eliminated all the blue '+'s'.
I've deleted every *.plist file from my Preferences that I thought might help. Nada. Still no App Store, no Google.
THEN, a Mac epiphany:
Go back to Date & Time Preferences
Under the Date & Time tab - check the box "Set date and time automatically:" (you probably do. I did. But make sure.)
Under the Time Zone tab - check the box "Set time zone automatically..." AHH HA! I didn't have it checked.
Now a message comes up - something like, you don't have your Location Services enabled... hmm.
Go to: System Prefs > Security & Privacy
Under the Privacy tab - check the box "Enable Location Services" (You may have to unlock [paddlelock in lower left] to make changes)
That did it. App Store instantly loaded as well as https:// google.
For those who have tried all the other posted suggestions - before you pull the rest of your hair out - this is one more thing to try.
Hope it helps.

Ignore.
