Can't connect to Samba shares after upgrading

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Samba 3.6.0-8 (among other things, including a new kernel 3.0-ARCH), and all my shares have become unavailable from Windows 7. I can't connect to any, nor can I see the shares list. My Arch box has essentially become invisible as far as CIFS shares go. I can still ping it normally, and access it through SSH, so it doesn't seem to be a major network issue, this is specifically with Samba.
I have since tried changing my workgroup in Samba, downgrading to 3.6.0-{1,4}, disabling firewalls, changing Win7's security settings, and restarting several times, to no avail. Nothing has changed with my Windows box, I only performed a major upgrade to Arch (it is currently up-to-date).
I don't see any relevant errors in the Samba logs, and I can browse the shares just fine locally in Arch, I just can't see them from Windows.
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks,
IM

Is your arch server configured to allow samba traffic? With the recent removal of hosts.allow and hosts.deny, I wonder if this could be the issue? Do you have ufw or iptables? I know you said you disabled the firewall, but it wasn't clear if that was on the client or server.

edit: here's the ufw rule I use (/etc/ufw/applications.d/samba):
[Samba]
title=Windows file and printer server for Unix
description=Tools to access a server's filespace and printers via SMB
ports=137,138/udp|139,445/tcp

Can't connect to SMB share after upgrade

Just upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks and can no longer connect to our SMB file share on the network. Several of us have tried connecting to it on this machine and all we get is
There was a problem connecting to the server "xxxxxxx.domain.com".
You do not have permission to access this server.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have been searching high and low since yesterday afternoon for an answer to this. My problem is not connecting to an SMB share (well, it was, as the old Cmd+K to connect to the SMB share would close quickly) but instead of the old Mac way of using Cmd+K and the IP address, I simply clicked on the available NAS SMB share under Shared and it is a massively fast connection. The old SMB connection would take minutes to open the next folder. So, connecting as you would under Windows helped fix that problem, BUT...
1. The NAS SMB share times out regularly and you have to eject & reconnect. Annoying.
2. Worse than this is I can not open any documents on the share, only navigate it. I have to copy paste the documents to my local ssd, manipulate, copy back. Any new file I copy on, or edit and copy on, the NAS SMB share I can navigate to and open. But if I try to click a pre-Mavericks existing file, I get "Can not open 'excel/word/acrobat.app' with the -36" error. Total BS.
3. Even more weird, if I click spacebar on ANY file on the SMB Share it will pop up in preview. Double click to open and error message.
4. If I copy a document attached to an email (Outlook 2011) to the server it is corrupt. If I copy the file to local ssd, then to the NAS SMB, the same file works perfectly fine.
This is completely ridiculous and needs a fix immediately. I'm going to try using Reinfire's link right now and see if that helps.
My NAS is a Netgear ReadyNAS 516 (linux/unix OS) I use in my office. Computer is MBPr March 2013.

E4200 Can't see my network shares after upgrade

I can't see my network shares after upgrade altough everything works fine , the network scanner shows all the atatched devices but in Eplorer when I click Network there is nothing shown on two computers running Win7 64.
I did downgraded the firmware back to .01 but still no network .
Any help ?

After upgrading the firmware did you reset the E4200? After successful firmware upgrade you need to reset the router. It is recommended to reset the router once. Steps to reset the router:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
After reset, reconfigure the router and then check the connectivity status…

Can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (This is probably not practical in your situation.)
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

Nautilus: can't browse Samba share after upgrade

Hi,
after yesterdays upgrade I can't browse any Samba share. When I try to point Nautilus to for example "smb:///192.168.1.42", where I have many shares, I get an error window saying "Could not find "smb:///192.168.1.42" Please check the spelling and try again". Anyone knows where's the problem?
Thanks in advance,

Can't connect to samba share via VPN

Hello all,
I am looking for an answer for few days now and still can't manage to fix it. I found two workarounds in the meantime, but it's not what I want!
My case:
Cisco vpn on one side and Mac vpn client (native). I can connect alright, can't only mount samba share. Via console I got invalid argument error, but when I go to finder > go to server it's just processing (no error). Left it for few mintes and nothing happened. I have a windows on virtual machine and I can mount samba alright. One more thing. I created a new user, logged in and it works! ****.
Can anyone say where should I look? What can be the problem on my old account? Don't want to switch and change all the things now, there must be a way to fix it...
Hope someone can help
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Jake

Hi Richard,
Thanks for interest. It's a windows share 2003 smb. It's a company network. As I said its not the case of VPN itself.
About the new user, that's a yes, it's same username as my samba share name, but even tho it's the same it needs my authentication. For the more, when I am with my mac at work and connect via cable I can access everything alright from my old account.
How can VPN block me when I can access it from my windows virtual (which is not the same as my work username). I can access it from new user, I would say its not the case of VPN blocking me there, I guess it's something I have changed over the years with my previous VPN settings.
I have direct access to VPN and I know firewall is off right now as we are testing it, so its for sure my mac settings...
Question is where do I find it:)

Can no longer connect to certain shares after upgrading to 10.8.4

After upgrading to the latest version of Mountain Lion, I can no longer access certain shared volumes. I have one machine running 10.4.11 and I can connect to its hard drive. Another machine on my network runs 10.5.8, and I can now only connect to the built-in hard drive. There are also 2 Firewire drives connected to that (10.5.8) machine that I can no longer connect to.
When I use "Connect to Server" and enter the AFP address of the 10.5.8 machine, I get a full list of "available" shares, but if I select one of the FireWire volumes, I just get a spinning "rosette" for several minutes and then a failure message. I also have an OS 9 machine that I can no longer connect to on the same network.
I already read the "Connecting to Legacy Systems" notice and still no joy after following the instructions.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Jon

No NAS other than an Apple one includes native support for AFP. They all use an open source package called Netatalk that is junk. Many years ago Apple deprecated the old security modules that Netatalk uses.
The easiest solution is to hack up Lion so that it will connect with the old security protocol. Do a search for "lion dhx2" or something like that. Another option is to update your NAS to a version of Netatalk that includes support for DHX2. That is easier said than done. Netatlk isn't as "open" as other open source packages.

[solved] Can't connect to samba shares

This is probably my fault, but for the life of me I can't figure this out. I started out trying to get usershares to work by following the wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/samba, and I am unable to connect to the resulting shares either from the local host or from my netbook. It tells me permission denied. I then tried creating a public share with guest access, because I couldn't get the usershares to work. I am unable to get that working either. I have
chmod 777 -R
the folder I am sharing, as well as the
/var/lib/samba/usershare
folder. Please help. Here is my smb.conf:
#======================= Global Settings =====================================

uninstalled samba, reinstalled it. deleted old config file. created new config with just the contents that the wiki states is necessary for usershares to work. the current smb.conf looks like
[global]
usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershare
usershare max shares = 100
usershare allow guests = yes
usershare owner only = False
added my user to samba using
pdbedit -a -u mdshann
started smbd and nmbd and enabled both. tried to share a folder, caja says samba is not installed. use yaourt to search for caja and find package mate-file-manager-share. installed said package, killed and restarted caja. shared folder and told it to add permissions automatically. checked the boxes to allow guest and to allow users to change files. still I cannot connect. just for reference, I have used the wiki article sections from the beginning of the article through adding a user. I did not use the creating a share section as I want usershares to work through MATE and CAJA. It creates the share and it is visible on the network, I just can't connect to it.
Pretty much the same as what I tired before, with the same result. Only difference is I haven't tried manually creating the share through smb.conf, but that didn't work before either. No reason to think it will work now, the problem was the same whether I used the gui usershares option or adding the share to smb.conf.
I was able to get samba working with a very similar config file as in my first post, on arch based manjaro on my server at work. I did not enable or use usershares at work, but creating the shares in smb.conf worked just fine. Why will the same procedure not work on arch? Same packages for the most part, manjaro just adds a few. In fact, when I set up samba on manjaro, I used the arch wiki article, as Manjaro's wiki is sparse. Main reason we used manjaro at work was the speed of installation was much quicker, and we needed the machine back up quickly so we could start backing up our customers data. (I own a PC repair shop.)
On a side note, this community has served me well in the past the few times I have have issues since I started using arch 5 years ago. Why my post has gone so long without a reply other than being chastised for trying to call attention to a 3 day old unanswered thread is beyond me, but I am not thrilled by it. It has now been a full 2 weeks since my original post. I have never had this issue before, and if I can't bump or somehow call attention to my thread I am unsure of how to get help. Am I supposed to keep posting new threads on the same issue? I would think those would get closed rather quickly if I had. Should I post nonsense on this thread, I mean anything other than the word bump. A discussion of cat videos maybe?

TS1398 can not connect to wi-fi after upgrading to os6

Upgraded to OS6 on both Iphone 4s and Ipad2 and immediately can not connect to wi-fi. did all recommended fixes, ie. settings reset, power off and on etc... still no luck. My ipad is wi-fi only and doesn't do me any good if i can't connect.

If your wifi is greyed out do the following:
1) Put your phone on a plastic bag and then in the fridge (not the freezer!).
Wait around 20 minutes to take it out.
2) The moment you take it out reset your network settings.
When the phone turns on, your wifi wont be greyed out.
But...
The problem you might have is that it wont pick up any networks at all. Which is my case.

Can't connect to itunes store after upgrading to ios 5.01

hi there. after having recently upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 5.01, i cannot access the itunes store to update any of my previously installed apps or purchase any new apps. i've already tried doing a soft reset (home button + sleep button) and have also restored my iphone to factory settings to no avail. can anybody help?
thanks.

Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? Some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure. If you have Norton, you can find instructions for that utility on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

Can't connect with wi-fi after upgrade to 10.9.5

Hi all,
My elderly Dad's MacBook Pro, retina display (bought August 2013) is having terrible problems connecting to his router/modem. Wi-fi just doesn't exist for him anymore.
In fact, a message box pops up and tells him the network I set up for him (and which worked fine until his very recent upgrade to 10.9.5) "isn't available to join".
I read where others are also having bad wi-fi connection probs since upgrading to 10.9.5.
1. So first question: Does anyone know how to solve this? I have Apple Care for the computer so I can call them. But wondered if a solution has already been circulated by our community here or by Apple.
2. Second question: If no one knows of a solution, can anyone advise me on how to get rid of 10.9.5 and then reinstall 10.9.4? I've read several posts where people who have done that no longer have any wi-fi connectivity probs.
Thanks so much for any help.
Liz

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

ITunes can not connect to remote speakers after upgrades

I recently downloaded the new version of iTunes and I am no longer able to connect to my remote speakers. I get a random error message when trying to connect. I've rebooted the airport station and modem. Didn't solve the problem.
Can anyone help? I'm stumped...

I have a MacBook, airport express and appletv. All three were working with airtunes on itunes 7 without issue. Since itunes 8, airport express works great, but the itunes keeps reporting that my appletv speakers are no longer available.
Problem will occur on sleep/wakeup and whenever itunes decides it is angry, even though my appletv is listed on the bar and is syncing. Sometimes it will play for about 10 seconds and then the music stops, but itunes indicates it is still playing. Pause/play will sometimes resolve the issue, but other times will report the appletv speakers have disappeared, but itunes is still listing the apple tv. Rebooting appletv makes no difference.
Workaround has been to restart itunes. For the music stopping after 10 seconds, if restarting itunes results in the same problem, reboot computer. My firewall is disabled, so my opinion .
Also - I love the remote app on my touch, but when play fails due to a speaker error there is no feedback. Instead I get no music and after a delay the icon changes from pause to play again. Of course itunes was complaining about unavailable speakers. Someone should add some intelligence to report such errors to the remote.

Can't connect to iTunes store after upgrade to iTunes 10.5

I've been trying to get this to work all day. I've done the whole uninstall in this order and reinstall several times to no avail. I've also tried the "netsh winsock reset" thing I saw on another question which also didn't work.
On top of this whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4g with it, it says that the iPod touch timed out so it couldn't sync (tried to sync several times).
Then I tried to upgrade to iOS 5 (also tried several times) but all I get is a frozen iTunes or the it hangs up on the backup phase. Can someone please help me solve this?!
This is all I get when trying to connect to iTunes store:
(Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit by the way)

I was having the same problem earlier today, and what I ultimately did to solve the issue was:
Completely uninstall iTunes 10.5 by following http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Find my backup iTunes Library File (*.itl) from the previous version, and copy it to "iTunes Library.itl"
See http://technicallyeasy.net/2009/03/restoring-a-previous-version-of-your-itunes-l ibrary/
Reinstall with the previous software, iTunes 10.4.1
The fact that the old 10.4.1 software works correctly in accessing the iTunes Store, and the new 10.5 software does not work correctly, suggests to me that there is some kind of bug in the iTunes 10.5 application itself. Hopefully the developers can figure it out. In the meantime, I'm happily working again on the previous version and will be planning to stay there until this mess has been cleared up.

Can't connect to app store after upgrading to Mavericks

After installing Mavericks, I can't update any of my apps, or open any previous apps. When I do try to sign in, it always says "An unknown error has occurred". I have a yahoo.com Apple ID, but even when I try signing in with a gmail.com Apple ID, I get the same error. What is going on?

That worked gor me as well.
Go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and then delete NetworkInterfaces.plist
Restarting. Going to the system prefs/network - saving then launching the app store.
Did the trick for me.
