Bonjour Connections Fail For One user

Our Mac is connected to a wireless network with some other Windows computers using Bonjour. I set up the connection a few years ago (that was on another Mac but I used the migration assistant to transfer everything without any hitches). Now the connection from my wife's account on the Mac to the Bonjour drives will not work, and I cannot figure out why. The computers show up in my wife's sidebar when "Bonjour computers" is checked in the sidebar preferences. But when you click on any of them the connection fails, and the only error message is "Connection failed." There is no other information. If you click "Connect As," nothing happens. No new error message, no connection, no dialogue box, nothing.
I checked the Network, Sharing, and Security settings in the System Preferences, and could not find anything different in my wife's account, although it is possible I'm missing something.
I tried the "Connect to Server" method in Finder and that also fails.
In my account, and at least one other, clicking on the servers in the sidebar connects automatically, so the problem is only in this account, but I am at a loss how to fix it.

Any information about my issue?

    Thanks to advise.

    Hi there,
    Does the user get authenticated in the ACS logs?
    reports and activity----> failed attempts
    ro
    reports and activity----->  passed authentications
    That will help narrow it down.

  • ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed for one user but not another

    In Win7, we're linking tables in an MS Access 2010 db to tables in a SQL Server 2008 R2 db. The driver user by the File dsn is SQL Server version 6.01.7601.17514 & we're using SQL Server Authentication.
    For some reason, one user gets the msg "ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed" before they're even asked for a password, but for other users, the prompt comes up and when they uncheck the Windows Auth box, they enter their password
    and connect successfully to the SQL Server db.  Both users have db_datareader access to the SQL Server db.
    I had the user that gets the error msg log onto my PC and they get the same error (yet it works for me.)
    This user was, however, able to successfully relink the tables, but then when we closed the access db and opened it again, the user got the "ODBC--connection..." error agin.
    I'm stumped as to why this is happening for one user.

    Hello Knellen,
    Please help to collect more log information regarding this issue, such as windows event log, SQL Sever log information. They are helpful for us to troubleshoot it.

  • Organizational Forms Library FORM LOAD FAILS for one user

    I have a user who is unable to pull up any of the forms listed in the Organizational Forms Library under the Developer Tab within Outlook
    2010. Any other person on the same PC has no issues with the same thing. The user in question does not have any issues pulling up the same forms on any other PC.
    I suspect it was a profile issue so I logged in as admin then deleted the outlook folder under C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
    for the user in question.
    Then logged back in as the user and let Outlook recreate the profile again. Still no go with being able to pull a form up.
    Any suggestions?
    Is there a registry key I should be playing with?

    Hi,
    Did the user get any error message?
    Outlook 2010 caches the names of the forms in the Exchange Organizational Forms Library. The cache expires every 24 hours. If a new form in the Organizational Forms Library has not been cached, Outlook displays an error. Please try to use the following
    registry to lower the timeout or disable it and then check the issue again.

  • Screen sharing fails for one user

    Hi
    I have an iMac and MacBook Pro, both running Snow Leopard 10.6.5. I have enabled screen sharing on the iMac, and can log in with one of my other user accounts (Greg). This works fine.
    When i am on my MBP, logged in as Joe, and logged in as Joe on the iMac, i always get an "Authentication failed", but i can connect as Greg ok... I thought it was to do with the currently logged in user having the same short name, so i tried logging in as Greg on the iMac, and connecting as Joe from the MBP, but still no success.
    Is there anything i can check?
    Thanks
    Joe.

    Identical short user names on the different computers shouldn't be a problem - I have multiple Macs with identical short user names and have no problem.
    As an aside, you don't need to already be logged in on the other computer; the VNC connection, if VNC login is permitted for that iMac user, would simply present the remote VNC client with its login screen, at which point you could login to the iMac as any user that you wanted, even though you made the VNC connection as someone else. Similarly, regardless of who is at the console on the iMac, the authorized VNC client user on the MBP can connect and view(/control) the screen(/keyboard/mouse).
    In the iMac's Sys Prefs Sharing, when Screen Sharing is highlighted, what does it say for "Allow Access for:"?
    In the iMac's Sys Prefs Security under the Firewall tab, is the Firewall on? If so, in "Advanced..." is the "Block All Incoming Connections" checkbox unchecked? In the application list there, what does it say about incoming connections for Screen Sharing?
    Finally, the iMac and the MBP are on the same home LAN, i.e., the MBP is not having to traverse through your home router's firewall, correct?

  • VC model fails for one user but not another - both have same auths

    We have a VC model that we created and moved to Prod (portal NW04s connecting to BW 3.5 query).  It works fine for user A, but user B gets error:
    #1.5#0003BADBD644002D000000030000053D0004282F58AC16AC#1170083723088#com.sap.port

    #/System/Server#Java###Cannot execute BW query::Nested Exception. Failure to exe
    cute native function. Nested Exception. INVALID_VARIABLE_VALUES
    Both user have same authorizations in Portal and BW backend.
    There is no trace info on the BW back end, so it seems like the hangup is occuring on the portal side.

    It turns out it was the backend authorizations.  The user was able to view the BW query via the BEX Explorer.  But when she tried to access it via a VC Flex IView, we got that error.  Initially I wasn't seeing any auth traces in the BW system, but then we expaneded the trace and determined the user was missing an activity.   It's a strange error.  Would be nicer to see a 'user not authorized' or something along those lines to better pinpoint the cause.  But we're good now.

  • OBIEE/EBS R12 - works, except for one user - ORA-06512 error

    OBIEE 10.3.1.4 / EBS 12.0.4
    Oracle 11g
    HPUX 11.31 64 bit Itanium
    We are successfully using EBS integration with OBIEE, but for one user that we have created it doesn't work. When they try to access OBIEE from EBS we get this error in NQServer.log:
    *[nQSError: 13011] Query for Initialization Block 'EBS Security Context' has failed.*

    This is when the query is run against EBS to authenticate the user:

    It is only for one user that has the problem. All others users work fine.
    Has anyone else seen this problem?
    Our EBS DBA has checked that the above sql can be run with the session set to the problem user, and compared with a user who can successfully connect to OBIEE. The results were the same for both.

    I was on the wrong lines with this one.
    The error in the NQServer.log was not from the problem user, it was a separate user.
    The real cause of a specific user not being able to login was a corrupt web catalog (which we're still trying to resolve)

  • "view content preview in thumbnails" option is not available in view settings for "finder" for one user

    "view content preview in thumbnails" option is not available in view settings for "finder" for one user

    I hope this discussion can be revived. I have the same problem. There seem to be quite a few Japanese sites that don't bother specifying their encoding. Perhaps they are older and from a time when it was not necessary to adhere to standards. Examples: http://www1.plala.or.jp/CUE/cave_yozawa.html, http://chigaku.web.fc2.com/saitama/sanchi/youzawa/youzawa.html. Happy to upload screenshots, but how?
    Is there a way to tell Safari what encoding to use if the web page fails to do that?

  • JSP page doesnt load for one user on machine1, but does 4 all on same box

    Hi,
    I have a Citrix application on a box to enable many users to connect remotely to different applications on differnt boxes using the browser on this box. Just like terminal Services or remote desktop
    I tested 15 users and all of them are able to login to the machine and able to open a jsp page of an application located on a differernt box using the browser on this box.
    But for one user I am facing an issue. For this user, I am not able to get the page and instead I only see a message as "page loading" and nothing more than that, Its getting stuck there itself with no progress.
    Please help me,
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Srinivas.

    Hi,
    I suspect there is something missing as far as the JRE for this guy is concerned. Sothing to do with permissions. java policy, security etc.
    I am not sure if that helps. I am not in the development of the application, and will check with those guys. I only neeed to provode support on this machine and be able to give access to that application which is on Linux. The browser is in Windows machine,
    Thanks,
    Srinivas.

  • After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

    We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
    much smaller then than they are now.
    The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
    fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
    Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
    Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
    I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.

  • Safari works for one user but not another on same computer

    MacBook with multiple user accounts. Safari (and Firefox) work fine for one user but are unable to open web pages when the other user is logged in. The error in Safar is "Safari can't open the page "http://xxxxxxxxx/" because it could not connect to the server "/xxxxxxx/" . DNS is working for this user. I am able to ping any number of sites from Terminal. Network Preference pane is configured to not require any proxy. This is a case of it was working but now it's not.
    Can anybody help with this? I know I can fix this by simply creating another user and transfering the affected user's data to the new account but I would rather not. TIA

    HI Bob,
    You can test your settings by clicking the big "Test My DNS" button at <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy>. If you see "Poor" on any of the tests, don't use that domain name server! Remove it from Apple Menu => System Preferences =>Network =>DNS Servers or similar location in your router if you've got a 'home network'. If all you have is "poor" DNS servers in your list, call your ISP and insist that they give you the address of a name server which is protected against the recently exposed DNS cache-poisoning threat.
    Also, open System Preferences/Network. Click the DNS tab. Add these numbers in the DNS Servers box.
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    See if that helps.

  • How to open multiple sessions for one user?

    Sorry for the silly question but I couldn't find it googling or searching through this forum, so I started wondering whether it's possible in SQL Developer to open multiple sessions for one user. I'm fairly new to SQL Developer and databases in general.
    When I open SQL Developer and connect to a schema, a worksheet opens named MYSCHEMA. If I disconnect then connect, another worksheet opens, named MYSCHEMA~1. I assumed these were different sessions, but if I enter into one worksheet:
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
    -- shows result is 1
    update my_table set col1 = 0 where row_id = 1
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
    -- shows result is 0and then enter into the second worksheet:
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
    -- shows result is 0I would have expected the second worksheet to report 1 because the first worksheet did not issue a COMMIT. Thus, I'd guess both worksheets are the same session? Is that right? If so, how do I have two sessions open simultaneously (opened by same user)?
    I'm trying to implement the code at the bottom of this post, for which testing requires at least two sessions:

    Thanks Jim,
    Ctrl-Shift-N doesn't do anything for me. I'm on a mac -- by experimenting it looks like command-N does what you're looking for. This appears to be the same as left-clicking on the "New" icon in the top left corner of SQL Developer, or selecting from the pull-down menu, File > New.
    This opens "Create a New" window that appears to be a wizard. What would I select at this point? Options are: Database Connection, Table, View, Package, ...
    I don't see an option for "Worksheet".
    UPDATE:
    OK, I found that if I select "SQL File", a worksheet becomes available. Perhaps this is what you intended. However, when I issue the command
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1;it still returns 0 instead of 1. Hmm, maybe my initial assumption was wrong -- if this is a second (e.g. different) session, should I expect the changes made in the first session in SQL Developer (the UPDATE command) WITHOUT a commit, to be observed in this second session? I thought that changes made in one session were not viewable in a different session until these changes are committed in the first session? If so, how to show this in SQL Developer? I must be missing something basic here.
    Or, is SQL Developer issuing some sort of "auto-commit" without my knowledge?

  • Is there a fix for Mail keeping 4 connections open for one.......?!

    Is there a fix for Mail keeping 4 connections open for one email account setup as IMAP.......?!
    Im just wondering whether this is possible because it means our company website falls over when the processes go over 25! There are a lot of emails.....
    It is a massive pain and ideally we dont want to upgrade our hosting package if we can help it!
    There must be a way round it?! Someone brainy know any tricks?!

    Ernie Stamper wrote:
    Never have encountered this -- more info, please? What are 4 connections, exactly?
    Very simple: Mail opens one connection for each IMAP mailbox on the account. Typically, this means Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, and Trash, but also includes Apple Mail To Do and Junk and any mailboxes/folders the user has created.
    The problem is that Mail is keeping these connections open when it's done checking for new mail, even when *Use IDLE command if server supports it* is not enabled. With 4 email accounts on one server, this causes a "500 Internal Server Error" because there are too many processes running. As soon as I quit Mail, my web server resumes serving pages.
