Can I connect OS X to an external Exchange server?

Firstly, I should mention that I just received my very first MacBook Pro today. This is the first time I'm using OS X (or a Mac period), so I'm really fumbling my way around today.
That said, I also own an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. On both of those devices, I can connect to an exchange server setup by my company for mobile devices. That server looks something like amail.comanyname.com. I love being able to get my Outlook mail on those devices.
I've tried setting up that same mail server in the OS X mail client, but so far it's been unable to connect.
I'm wondering if there are any suggestions that might help me get connected? Or is this just not possible to do on a desktop? I have the same problem on my Windows desktop, in that I can't connect Outlook to the Exhange server there either. I was hoping that since the iPad could do it, so could my Mac.
Suggestions?
Charlie

Only if it's an AEBS. TM will not work with a disk connected to any other router. See the following:
Requirements to use Time Machine
Time Machine is only available with Leopard (10.5.x)
1. External FireWire or USB 2.0 drive
2. Time Capsule
3. Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 or later using File Sharing
4. Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 Server
5. SAN volume managed by Apple's Xsan file system
A TM drive must be partitioned with either APM (PPC) or GUID (Intel) and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

I can't connect "new iPad" to my Microsoft exchange server

I have an iPhone 4 and a "new iPad" both running IOS 5.1. My iPhone 4 is connected to my work Microsoft exchange server but my iPad is having problems. I got my iPad on Friday and set it up that night and it connected to the Microsoft exchange fine however since Monday evening it has stopped working, it kept saying failing to connect to server.
I removed the account from my iPad and try to add it back on again but it now won't let me add the account and keeps saying no connection to server.
I have tried resetting my network settings but that didn't help, I have gone on to my work web mail server online and removed every device except my iPhone from the list of devices registered to the account but that hasn't helped.
Any ideas anyone, particularity interested in how to fix this and also why it worked fine till Monday but then just stopped.
Thanks in advance.

Not to worry found out that my work stopped iPad working on their exchange server without seeing the need to tell anyone in advance, but they left the iPhone working.
Thanks anyway.

Can I connect to iMac 27" as external display?

I'm considering buying 2 iMac 27" to run Windows 7.
Can I connect these two together so iMac 1 can use iMac 2 as external display and visa versa.
In other words... is the mini display port both for input and output?
If yes... does this work under Windows 7 as well?

I just love Mac hardware, and an iMac (two in my case) on a desk is just such a nice clean setup, with only one cable. Just counted 16 cables for my current PC mini tower setup with 2 screens - don't ask
Just so you know, I'm well aware of Apple's "cableless" marketing for this thing. But on my new iMac, I actually only have a single port, the FW800, that doesn't have a cable sticking out of it.
But Mac OSX is just not a nice operating system IMO
At least we can use you as an example of a 100% legitimate Mac owner of a Windows OEM install.
Anyway... I just ordered 2 x 27" iMac's. If i somehow succeeds in getting them connected in Windows, I'll post here... if not feel free to ask me, in 6 months.
Please do post back, because if someone tries it, then everyone will know if it works. I have seen reports of a PC driving the iMac display and I have done it with my MacBook Pro. I'm still not 100% sure that two iMacs will cooperate in this way. They both have the same cable connected to the same input/output port. Which one is the target? I have never heard of Windows or any PC hardware having the ability to convert a video port to input, so Windows would have to be the broadcaster. You may need MacOS X to detect the input and use it instead of trying to send out its own signal. Hopefully this won't short out the video circuitry on both.
And in 6 months when you are reinstalling Windows to clean off all the malware, you can still use the Mac machine

Can't connect to NAS via FTP externally

Hi all,
Can anyone give me any straight forward adivse on getting FTP to externally?
I have a WD My Book Live Duo (NAS) that allows FTP access, but it seems that no matter what I do I can not connect to it externally through FTP.
I really need the FTP to work as the only other way to connect to it externally is via WebDav which is *really* unrealiable from from work connection.
My setup is a MBLD behind an Airport Extreme Base Station (5th Gen) FTP connects perfectly when at home on internal network. AEBS has a static IP address and is connected via DHCP, the MBLD has a static address and is telling me that all is ok and that 'Port Forwarding' is established successfully. The MBLD has a reserved address using it's MAC address and IP address on the AEBS. Using Transmit 4.3.3 FTP client.
I can't see anywhere in Airport Utility to perform port forwarding, do Apple call it something different?
I'm probobly missing something really minor, but the constant altering of settings to get this thing to work is driving me mad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Maybe if you were to mention exactly which NAS device you are using and basically how you've configured it, and which version of the software that came with the device, someone here might have some experience with your exact hardware/software or something very similar and be able to help pinpoint a problem.
There are many many implementations of SMB. Some (mostly free) don't work very well, even for Windows. Some need to be updated. Some seem to work very well.
In addition, have you already tried using this device with Windows, Linux, another Mac? Did the device just quit working, or has it never worked? Without more information nobody has a chance because there isn't just one or two reasons that a NAS doesn't work.

Can I connect my PA to my external audio card M-Audio Fast track Ultra?

Hello
I wonder if it's able to connect my PA to my external audio card, _M-Audio fast track ultra so that I can use every input from my PA and use them in logic._
Any Ideas?
Best regards Frankensten

So I should connect 2 guitar wires from the main outs, left and right to some of my audio card inputs and then Logic should recognize the sounds we are playing on the pa?
That should work.
Logic wont get any signal from the pa instrument if i don't press the front rear button on the audio card
That's normal. Those buttons control which jacks are active.
the sound is very low
Connect headphones to the headphones jack on the PA and make sure you're hearing a nice loud signal. You could also connect the headphones to the headphones jack on the Ultra, to check for a signal there.
There are level controls on the front of the Ultra. Try cranking them up. Also, make sure they are pushed in. When you pull them out, you engage a 20dB pad.
Also, look at the LEDs on the front of the Ultra. Are they glowing green? This means they are getting a signal.
In my PA there's two Monitors that I would like to use for logic, how would I do that?
You would connect outputs from your audio interface to inputs on the PA. You could use the channel inputs, or you could use the tape inputs.

Dbcon connection from sap db2 to external sql server

Hi ,
I am trying to connect from my sap server which is in unix platform with DB2 database to external SQL server using DBCON as MSSQL_SERVER=<server_name> MSSQL_DBNAME=<db_name>. But while running ADBC_TEST_connection i am getting the error . When i check the error log it says
Loading DB library '/usr/sap/DVL/SYS/exe/run/dbmssslib.so' ...
M *** ERROR => DlLoadLib()==DLENOACCESS - dlopen("/usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/dbmssslib.so") FAILED
"Unable to find library '/usr/sap/DVL/SYS/exe/run/dbmssslib.so'." [dlux.c 445]

B *** ERROR => Couldn't load library '/usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/dbmssslib.so'
How to resolve this issue. As it was mentioned in few forum we need to download the dbsl library from kernel patches and to load in kernel path. As my db is DB2 can we download dbmssslib.so this library and load in kernel file? Is it will work?
Regards,
Rai

Hi Rai,
This error indicates that the ABAP stack could not find the SAP DBSL for SQL Server (dbmssslib.dll) in the kernel directory. If you encounter this error on a Unix - based server the root cause is clear: the DBSL does not exist for other platforms than Windows or Linux x84_64. In this case use a Windows-based or a Linux x86_64-based SAP Application Server to establish the connection. If your system does not contain a Windows-based or a Linux x86_64-based Application Server you need to setup a small one as workaround. If you encounter this error on a Windows Application Server or a Linux x86_64 based Application Server make sure that the DBSL is properly installed in the kernel directory as explained in the document below.
For more details on configuration and troubleshooting refer to below SCN document

Mac using Acrobat Pro v9 can't connect to shared review hosted on Sharepoint server.

A person at our company has a Mac with Acrobat Pro v9 and can't connect to our shared review hosted on a Sharepoint server. The shared review is initiated from a PC using Acrobat Pro X.
They can access/login to the Sharepoint server via Safari on the same computer both inside the company and from outside.
They used to have it working just fine for months, then suddenly (recently) it stopped working and it just keeps saying that it can't connect.
When trying to connect, Acrobat doesn't ask for credentials. I've tried hunting down where those credentials are stored to try and delete them to force it to ask again, but no luck there either.
I also have a Mac (but I'm running Acrobat Pro XI and now DC) and I can access the same shared review that doesn't work for them. And I can't seem to break it for me (as an effort to figure out their problem).
Any helpful guidance on how to get things back on track would be greatly appreciated. My head hurts from beating it against my desk. :-|
Thanks!

Several of us encountered the same issue running MAC OS X on Acrobat Pro XI. I'm tagging your question to see if someone provides a solution.

Since upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.8 I can't connect to a smb share on Windows Server 2003r2

Hi recently i upgraded from Mac OS 10.5.8 to Mac OS 10.6.8 on a 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro 1,1.
Prior to upgrading to 10.6.8 i had a viable connection to a Windows Server 2003r2 which hosts Pre-press client and all out work files as well as client applications. Now I can not connect to the server. I can ping the server. I can connect to another SMB share on different Windows Server 2003r2 that is our secondary server, but i can not connect to the primary. The Client software is associated with data base tracking the data.
This share does not show up in my volumes but I have a Max Host File with the share defined.
Can anyone come up with a solution to this. I have contacted my support for the Server 2003r2 Client software but they don't have a solution beyond clean installing the computer.

Can't connect my Mac to my Windows 2003 server shares via SMB

Hello all
So my problem is I have my Powerbook running 10.4.7 with all the latest security updates and I cannot connect it to any shares on my Windows 2003 domain controller. Everything was working fine and I could connect to the server with no problem till about a month ago. However, I can still connect to the Windows 2000 domain controller with no problem. The error I get when trying to connect is "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct". I did try clearing out my keychain, making sure all of the authentication policies on the server are correct (disabling the digitally sign commucations always policy), and I even went as far as editing a .conf file in /etc/ folder that allows for passwords to be sent without any encryption (I forget exactly what I changed but I can post that later when I get home from work) and none of this has worked. I unfortunately don't have another mac to test out connecting to the Windows 2003 server. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to try and get this issue resolved?

TO share out as afp you need to have file and print services for macintosh installed on the 2k3 Server.
O n the main management console click on the shares icon on the left. then click the "link" create a share. The wizard will guide you through the process. i forget the order of progression but i beleive its the second or third part in the dialog it will have 2 check boxes, the top one checked by default, is to share it for windows/smb the second (lower box) is to share as AFP for mac check this box and change the share name if you like. then proceed through the rest of the wizard. Make sure you configure the security/sharing prefs for access.. we typically remove the everyone policy and add one for Authenitcated Users, and ofcourse Administrators.

After installing Mavericks I can't copy music files to an external music server, worked fine before mavericks

After installing Mavericks, I can't copy or move files to a music server running Vortexbox(Fedora Linux based). I get a cannot perform operation, you do not have permissions for some items. The permission arrow in get info shows I have both read and write permission. I am connecting to the server fine, just can't copy files.

Hey tamckellar,
It sounds like you want to move your iTunes Media folder. The following article outlines how to do so:

Can't connect to WRV200 config from Win 2k3 server

We have 2 servers running Win 2k3 Server, both of which I can not connect to the configuration on our WRV200 router. Here is our current setup.
DSL > WRV200 > 8 Port Linksys Gigabit switch > Servers and Other Gigabit switch to all workstations.
When I hook my laptop up to the 8 Port switch I can connect to the router's config without any issue. I can also connect without any issue via any of the workstations. I can not, however, connect with the browsers on the servers. They are both IE6 with all updates run.
I tried clearing out the ARP tables which didn't do anything.
When I try to connect to it I get to the login screen, put in the admin password, and then it gets stuck on loading SetupStatic.asp. After resetting to factory settings it is SetupDHCP.asp.

Do you have correct Gateway IP on Server(s)? Can you load other websites?
If not, review your NIC settings on your Server. The problem is not your Router.

RSA1 DB Connection from SAP BW to external SQL Server databas.

Hello,
I am trying to connect our SAP BW system with SQL Server Source System through DB Connect in transaction RSA1.
Our BW system is running on Windows and MaxDB platform, therefore have I already added the latest dbmssslib.dll library to the kernel for SQL Server.
But the connection does not work anyhow, I recieve the error "Database error -1 at CON > [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does > exist or access denied." and I am quite sure that my input parameters are correct.
Therefore I wonder if someone has run into a similar problem and what the problem could be?
Best Regards,
Niklas Sandstedt

Hi,
I am sorry that my case was assigned to wrong forum.
That should now have been corrected, however my problem still remains unsolved in one of our systems.
I found note 178949, which fixed the problem in one system. But even though the system setup seems to be identical, the two systems appears different.
The following has been done for both systems:
1. Upgraded kernel to 701 version 111 and added dbmssslib.dll and dbmssslib.pdb files
2. Created Logical system in BD54.
3. Tried to create DB connection in transaction DBACOCKPIT.
In the third step, the setup fails and I receive the following error message when I test the connection:
Database error -1 at CON > [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not > exist or access denied.
Database error -1
All profile parameters AL11-directories also seems to be correct in both systems, so both should find the dbmssslib.dll file.
One issue that I see is in DBACOCKPIT, the checkbox for "SAP Systems with basis release" is unchangeble and marked. This however, I think was changed in the other system automatically when the connection was established successfully.
Has anyone run into the same problem?
Best Regards,
Niklas Sandstedt

Issues connecting Outlook 2011 for Mac to Exchange Server 2013

Could someone help me with the bellow please:
I have a Mac with outlook 2011 on it.
We have recently set up Exchange Server 2013, and all of the Windows Workstation just required the trusted root certificate to be installed and they were working.
However I have spent hours reading different forums trying to get this working on the Mac and no luck.
The auto discover does not work when setting up the exchange email, therefore I have also tried setting up manually but it still will not connect to the server.

Macbook Pro Retina (15") can't connect to wireless mouse and external USB keyboard

Hi All,
I got my new MacBook Pro Retina (15 inch) about 3 weeks ago. It works fine. I got a 30" Dell screen that I am using via thunderbolt/usb adapter. Also, I am using a thunderbolt ethernet adapter. Both adapters work fine without any problems.
I have an apple usb keyboard connected to the USB hub of the screen, as well as my iphone cable. It is a regular, full size apple keyboard. In addition to this, I have a logitech nano connected directly to the right usb port of the macbook pro.
This setup was working well until a few days ago. I lost connectivity with my mouse. Initially, I thought the batteries are empty. After replacing them, I still had no connection (again, the usb receiver is *directly* connected to the macbook).
I changed a few cables here and there and noticed that I can get either the keyboard to work or the mouse but not both at the same time. A reboot did not help.
Did anybody encounter such a strange problem already? If so, what could I possibly do?
Thank You,
--Martin

Hello nikkig00,
It is certainly difficult to use the computer if your wireless keyboard and mouse do not connect. I found a few resources I recommend for this issue.
I recommend reviewing this article first:
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the article below. Step 9 specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
9. Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
