Buffalo LinkStation Live and NasNavigator 2 problems with Mac

I am using a Buffalo LinkStation Live (LS-CH1.0TL) with my MacBook. With the Firewell turned off on my Mac it works really well. Unfortunately, with the Firewall on, a perpetual dialogue box appears asking to give permission to allow incoming connections from NasNavigator 2. Whether you click Allow or Deny, the message appears again after about 10 seconds. This process continues indefinitely. It works fine with Windows 7 (either run via Mac or on my previous PC). I have updated all software/firmware and reformatted and restored factory settings on the LinkStation.
Buffalo are stating that this is an Apple issue so can anyone help or is this going to be technical-support-tennis where each are blaming the other?! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

  • Asha 501 and USB problems with MAC OSX 10.9

    I checked everywhere and I could not find any threads about this problem, so I'm asking here, in the official support forum.
    The problem is:
    Connecting the Nokia Asha 501 to the mac (via USB cable), and selecting "external memory", the memory card is mounted and I can browse the contents, BUT the photos show corrupted. I even lost some, because I tried to open them in the Preview app on the mac. (take a look at the attached photo of this post, a screenshot clearly showing corruption)
    Importing the photos via Bluethoot works, and the photo on the phone are showing fine. The memory card is okay, I checked with an external card reader.
    Also:
    - This problem does not show with Windows 7/8
    - This problem does show with other Mac OS X
    The phone is updated, I flashed it with the Nokia Software Updater and I formatted the memory card.
    Any help?

  • Will the Buffalo LinkStation Live work with my Mac Book?

    I am wanting to get a hard drive that will wirelessly back up my two MacBooks using Time Machine Software. Also, I would like to be able to hook up my printer to this device so that we can share a printer between the two Macbooks wirelessly.
    I came across the "Buffalo LinkStation Live™ - LS-CHL". It seems to do exactly what I want, but I can not tell if it is compatible with Time Machine software or if I have to use their bundled software.
    Basically, I want to share a backup HD and printer between my two MacBooks....wirelessly. I do not need a router because I already have one. I understand a Time Capsule would probably work, but it is more than I want to spend.
    Here is a link to the LinkStation Live™ - LS-CHL.

    THANK YOU!

    I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences.  If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

    OK, I'm perplexed.  I've been a mac user for almost 30 years.  My entire ecosystem is Mac and I remained with mac through the dark 90s.  What apple has does in the past 2 years is unbelieveable.  I just upgraded to 10.86, then 10.9, no end of problems.
    I can no longer mirror and of my monitors VGA or HDMI, my itunes which supplies iphone and ipad has disabled podcast app so that I can't listen to my favorite programs and I find out after the fact that Office software is not compatible with OSX 8.6.
    Forget about the fact that itunes looks like it was developed by a 1980s MS-DOS programmer.   Its kludgy, limited and generally does not work.
    What does one do?  Frankly, I used to use macs because they were like info appliances that just worked.  Now the time to manage tech glitches from the company has become way too costly.  Sadly, Apple has become Microsoft and Microsoft seems to become Apple.

    "... as do the users who are downloading recent OSXs in record numbers."
    USUALLY YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU DOWNLOAD UNTIL YOU HAVE IT !!!
    APPLE USED TO HAVE GREAT STUFF BUT OBVIOUSLY TRIES TO INVENT FOR THE SAKE OF INVENTING !!!
    THIS IS ACTUALLY A STEP BACKWARDS (TO MS).
    CALENDAR & CONTACTS SYNC VIA ICLOUD ONLY IS AN ABSOLUTE NO GO !!!
    @APPLE: FIX THIS ASAP !!!

  • Using Buffalo LinkStation Live as an iPhoto '09 Library

    I just recently purchased the buffalo linkstation live NAS. It is compatible with both Windows and Mac. I was wondering if it is possible to use the hard drive as a server with my iPhoto library on it, so other DNLA devices can view the videos and pictures in it. I heard that there are potential risks if the hard drive(s) is not Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatted. However, this hard drive is for both Windows and Mac so I really hope I can use it as a server. I'm only going to use my iMac to add, edit the library with photos/videos, not use other computers. Otherwise, I can only use my hard drive as an iTunes server, which is kind of a waste, since the hard drive has 1tb and I want to use the most of it.
    Thanks,
    -Tarun

    Then it's not a suitable location for the iPhoto Library.
    One possible workaround: put the library on a Disk Image and store the Image on the NAS

  • Connecting a Buffalo Linkstation Live to an AE network

    I just bought a Buffalo Linkstation Live HS500GL on closeout at Circuit city. I have it hooked up to my AE via ethernet, but I can't "see" it on the network. The supplied software, the NAS Navigator seems to find it, and shows the IP address, and all the information, but I can't connect to it through a browser (Safari or Firefox) or any other way.
    The instructions that came with it said I would have a NAS Navigator icon on my desktop as well as a new "share" icon on my desktop. There is no share icon showing up.
    I have also tried connecting to server in the Finder "Go" menu, but this doesn't work either.
    Any advice out there?

    Just bumping up to see if anyone has any ideas.

  • Thinking of moving my iTunes library to a NAS (Buffalo Linkstation Live)...

    Hi
    My iTunes library is growing, with movies and tunes etc its getting too big for my iMac HDD (320Gb). At the moment I have all my music on my iMac HDD iTunes library, and my movies on my NAS.
    However I was wondering if I can put my whole iTunes library on my NAS. I have a Buffalo Linkstation Live which says in documentation
    "iTunes automatically makes the LinkStation available as a content source in your iTunes software"
    Not exactly sure what this means though? Also if it is possible, what is it like performance/managing wise? The Linkstation is wired Ethernet to my iMac by the way. Also if the iTunes library is on my NAS, can my PS3 access it to? I have a PS3 which accesses my NAS fine at moment, will the PS3 be able to "see" inside the iTunes library on the NAS?
    cheers

    Anyone in similar situation or has a Buffalo NAS Live please?
    cheers

  • AD account Login problem with MAC 10.6.8

    Hi All,
    We have around 50 odd MAC that are connected to windows server 2008 R2. the user were logining in to these MACs using their AD account. Recently few of the random MAC did not allow the user to login using their AD account.When analyzed though the MAC shows that it has connected to the Domain and the server is active with green button it has unbind itself from the server.I had to login in as local user bind the MAC back to get this resolved.
    Now the same has started happeneing for most of the MAC that we have and every morning I have login as local Admin and unbind / bind the MAC with the server. this gets reset once the user reboots or shutsdown.
    Have tried with few of the below solution but nothing helped:
    Solution 1:
    <key>mdns_timeout</key>
    <integer>2</integer>
    The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required.
    You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line:
    sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
    Solution 2:
    I have seen all of the probable solutions and tried everything and still I am getting issues with 10.6.6 and after rebooting the Mac gets unbind. Or the Mac gets Network Accounts Available even when not accessing the list of users from AD. But the thing that I have done that has solved all my issues with AD on the Macs is to uncheck the box to search on all domains. For some reason I am seeing that when the Macs have this option checked, it searches through out the forest on the same domain controller more than once, so AD stops the handshaking of the authentication.
    I hope this helps like it did on our Network, since then I have not seen the Macs lose the binding or slow SMB.
    If you've tried this please let us know.
    TIP: Uncheck Allow Authentication from any domain for Mac AD problems
    Wednesday, April 20, 2011
    Steven Wells sent a fix and an explanation of problems with Macs losing their binding to Active Diretory:
    Unchecking "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest" is working at our college. We have been beating our heads on this for about 2 terms, with no understanding of why it works in some places and not in others. When we found this working, our IT guy said that the Security SID is being duplicated, when it looks in other domain forest, and that is what is causing the problem. This is the first time I have found an explanation for the problem.
    If you've tried this approach please let us know.
    Solution 3:
    Solved it. Create a file in Textedit with the name 'auto_master' (no file extension) with the following contents:
    # Automounter master map
    +auto_master # Use directory service
    /net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
    /home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
    #/Network/Servers -fstab
    /- -static
    Place this in /etc/ folder
    Hope this helps

    TIP: a Kerberos fix for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 binding to Active directory
    Friday, November 11, 2011
    Mehdi Mafi forwarded a fix he found for problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard binding to Active Directory:
    This was taken from Dane Riley's imaging building for DeployStudio.
    With Mac OS X Leopard every Mac is now running a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center). Basically each imaged machine is using the same security certificate and hash. Deploying a single image will deploy the same KDC to every system. This [Apple] article covers how to reset the local KDC so that each system is unique. Basically, do the following:
    Launch Keychain Access
    Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
    Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
    After deployment, perhaps using Apple Remote Desktop to all systems, re- establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
    If you've tried this approach with Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or even Lion, please let us know. .
    TIP: More on a kerberos fix for AD binding problems
    Monday, November 14, 2011
    Mehdi Mafi updated his Friday report about Mac OS X 10.6 problems binding to Active Directory:
    You may want to add this. If the Mac keeps unbinding from AD (people can't log in to a Mac), here is how to fix it:
    Unbind it from Domain
    Launch Keychain Access
    Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
    Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
    Re-establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
    Bind it to domain again ( When you bind, uncheck allow authentication from any domain in the forest in: Directory Utilitiy-> Advanced Options\Administrative ) this fix the issue that sometimes it can' find AD under search space.
    If you tried this please let us know.
    Solution 5:
    For Snow Leopard AD login issues, use upper case domain
    Solution 6: for .local
    To create this StartupItem, create the following directory as root:
    /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth
    Then chown it to root:wheel and chmod it to 755. These must also be the owner/permissions on the two files it will contain, below:
    Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/FixADAuth:
    #!/bin/bash
    . /etc/rc.common
    date > /var/log/FixADAuth.log
    n=0
    AuthSuccess=0
    while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
    do
    id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local; n=$(($n+1))
    done
    echo Authentication successful: $AuthSuccess >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log echo Operation count: $n >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
    date >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
    Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/StartupParameters.plist:
    Description = "Fixes Active Directory authentication issue";
    Uses = ("Disks");
    Obviously you'll need to change "middlewich.local" to your own domain name (and the network interface name if your connection is wireless). The script checks to see if it can see the user "Administrator" on the domain, as he's a fairly common bloke, but if you've renamed yours for security reasons then pick another one. I've also included some logging functionality for debug purposes, so you can verify how well the script is working if you need to and time it in your environment before telling the users how long to wait. The /var/log/FixADAuth.log file will contain the date/time the process started, the success variable set to 1 (just to verify), how many DNS operations were required to fix the problem, and the date/time it ended. For us the time difference is normally about +30-40 seconds with around 120-180 operations taking place. Once you're happy with the script, you can strip it down to its bare functionality if you like, like so for us:
    #!/bin/bash
    . /etc/rc.common
    AuthSuccess=0
    while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
    do
    id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local
    done
    I hope this helps someone!

  • Email Problem with Mac

    Hi, I am new to FIOS so I hope this is the proper board to post in.  I set up 2 subaccounts for verizon.net email and configured them for my Mac Mail program. Everything worked well for about 2 days, and all of a sudden the Mail program keeps asking for my password (even though it was saved in my Mail settings) and says the the incoming mail server is offline.  I've Googled this issue and see that others have posted about the same authentication error. Has anyone else here experienced - and solved - this problem? Thanks. 

    I am having the same problems with Mac eMail.  I have two Macs, one that is running Lion and the other is running Snow Leopard.  I have spent days on the phone with Apple and Verizon and they are blaming each other and neither have a solution.  Have you been able to get a response?  It looks like this is something that happens from time to time but never really gets fixed.
    Please let me know if there has been a fix since the Mac Mail update in July?  With the Union Issues Verizon doesn't have enough people to address the issues both in person ( I had a tech come to the house and he didn't know anything about software ) or on the phone.  They keep kicking it back to Apple.  I also have a couple iPhones and both are working fine. So this seems to be OS X specific.  I've had Macs and iPhones for 3 years or more. 
    Just makes me think something was done to the mail servers they didn't get correct.
