CAnnot Access server based user files

Hi
I have several IMacs running 10.5.6 connected to an Xserver.
Until recently we synced the users home folders, but they have become too large. There fore we plan to store the large files that were being synched locally. To do this I have switched off syncing, however when the user goes to the home folder it is the local /users folder and not the networked one setup in WGM. Is there a way to point the home icon to the networked folder?

this adds several steps to the process

Windows 7 Desktop synchronisation - Windows cannot access \\server\users\name\desktop

Hi there
My client has a laptop which won’t load the desktop when disconnected from the network. When you log on (while disconnected) you get the error
“Windows cannot access \\server\users\name\desktop”
Works as expected while connected to the network.
The server is a Windows Small Business Server 2003 with active directory etc. and roaming profiles turned on. This issue does not occur on other workstations/laptops.
When I check the Users folder on the local system drive there is not a desktop folder. I assume this is the issue although I’m not sure how you would force windows to create one or why one hasn’t been created?
This is a brand new laptop so my initial reaction was to reset the laptop to factory state and then add the laptop back in to the domain. After this process the issue was still present!
I guess the only thing I should mention is that this was shipped as a Home Premium laptop and was then upgraded to Professional using an upgrade key.
I have checked Control Panel, System & Security, System, Advanced, User Profiles and the account shows as Local with Roaming Profiles greyed out.
Any ideas?

Acrobat Reader X with MAC Server based User Profiles

Hello Forum,
I'm a bit in trouble with Acrobat Reader X (10.0.0.3) on my Mac. We are using server based user profiles for the whole network. (SL Sever and SL Clients 10.6.7)
Installing the Reader X has finished successfully. If I'm starting my Reader, a requester is popping up, asking me if Acrobat should be the default application for PDF files or not. Pushing any button causes the application to terminate after some seconds.
Due it's working with a local profile without any errors I think the problem is the server based user profile.
Any ideas how to solve this problem? Switching to local profiles is not possible ...
Best Regards,
Markus

Hi Michael,
sorry for using the wrong forum. I'll post my question to the Reader board ...
To answer your question. That was my idea too, but it is not possible to copy a whole profile. They are a lot of other problems if you do that. I didn't find the settings only. may it would be enough to copy the settings for the reader.
Best Regards,
Markus

Why will my Macbook OSX.10.8.3 not load Facebook?, says Safari cannot access server.

I have a Macbook OSX.10.8.3 It will not load Facebook, says Safari cannot access server; and second, suddenly 2 days ago I cannot use the internet without being attacked by random sites. Each time I click on a site, or choose an option, I want another site opens up. e.g. just now doing this Shards of War and Adcash just opened when I went between two pages here.

It sounds like you may have run out of free disk space & OSX corrupted something.
Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

Cannot access Graphics - bad class file

Hey.
When I try to compile my source I get an error saying...
.\Man.java:146: cannot access Graphics
bad class file: .\Graphics.java
file does not contain class Graphics
Please remove the files or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory.
It's on a different computer so that's not exactly it, but it's close enough. Compiler was working fine until the other day when i found out that all the source files were zipped up in src.zip, I had to extract Graphics.java so I could open it in emacs, and after I did that it started giving me that error message. There's nothhing wrong with my source, and I didn't move Graphics, it's still in the correct place exactly as it was, and i looked at it, all the right stuff is still inside. I'm quite confused.
So do I have to reinstall? That would mean a massive download on my 56k and I kinda wanna carry on with my work.

You should not need to unzip src.zip to use the Graphics class or any class that comes with j2sdk. The compiled classes are in jar files that are installed in certain directories when you install the j2sdk.
You should only need to have a line "import java.awt.Graphics;" near the start of your source code.
The error most likely occurred when the compiler found a Graphics.class file but inside the file is java.awt.Graphics class, not a plain Graphics class.

Your post compiles for me, no errors.
As a guess. you have a problem classpath or mislocated or duplicate files.
This line is especially suspect: bad class file: .\JScrollPane.class
What is that leading period? Do you have a file named ScrollPane?
Something else in the computer is bad, not the program.
Try compiling from the commandline.

I managed to get a few Time Machine Back Ups before I passed away
I'm not sure whether a ghost can do this, but if you were still alive, you could do as follows.
First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use it only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select
Apply to Enclosed Items
from the popup menu.
Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.

Cannot access desktop to shoe files or folders since using migration assistant to transfer data from my old iMac to my new one. What do I need to do to access the desktop?

Cannot access desktop

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Cannot access remote FoxPro dbf file using jdbc-odbc and system DSN

Hi all,
I have a foxpro database sitting on remote server (netware server). the dbf folder is shared and I can access it using windows explore on my weblogic server (windows 2003). I created a system dsn for that. I can access the database from the a stand alone java program using
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection surgConn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:FoxDB", " ", " ");
But when I use the same thing in my weblogic 8.1 application, I cannot access the database. I didn't config any data source in weblogic 8.1
Why?
When I try this on my own computer - windows 2000, weblogic 8.1 workshop. remote foxpro database dbf folder. it works.
Any idea?
Thanks very much

Cannot access server internally

Hi, I have a EA6500, I run a server from home on 192.168.1.101 static ip. I set forfoward the public ip to 192.168.0.101.
I am able to access the my website from an external network (from iphone with at&t network, but all my Macs from my LAN cannot access it unless I use the local ip of 192.168.1.101. I never had this issue with the old WRT45G.
I read a post with the exact same question
http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wired-Routers/Accessing-Internal-Web-Servers-External-OK-Internal-No...
But the post is no use to me because it doesn't really have a clear solution to the question.
I wonder if someone can help me with a more constructive solution?
TIA.

After more research, I found the answer from another post:

look for poster sflick1's solution, it really works.

How can I easily set up Mac lab to access windows 2008 server directory user files?

I am wanting to start shifting our school to Apple computers. The problem is that we have already invested significant time and money into windows and we need to run them side-by-side. My initial plan would be to set up an open lab of computers with no users but have some way of allowing students to save their files to a windows directory which would in turn allow them to access the same files from a windows computer. I hope this makes sense and is not an entirely stupid or basic question.
I have logged into my personal directory on our server by hitting Command K and then putting in my user and password. What I would like is to have one item to appear in the shared directory and when selected for it to ask for user and password and go a the required directory.
If anybody has any information that may support the process of the intergration of Pc to Mac for a super low level IT skilled teacher I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Graham

the easiest is to enable fast user switching system preferences-.accounts and require password to wake from sleep in system preferences->security. This way when computer wakes from sleep it gives a password screen with an option to go to login window and switch user.

10.5.6 windows cannot create server based profiles

Hi @ all,
at time i plan to migrate my 10.4.11 tiger to 10.5.6 leopard, this fileserver stores the user home and profiles for 40 Windows Users.
I installed a new server with leopard 10.5.6 and tested the server if the user who are loggin into my OD gets his porfile and home from this server.
Yes right, it won't work.
Following is the setup
Windows XP sp2 joined in the domain MYDOMAIN and gets his profile and home from filesrv1 (this setup works)
filesrv3 with AFP/NFS/SMB
smb standalone, identifiedy by NTLMv2 & Kerberos/NTLM/LAN-Manager, Latin 1(850), Use wins sever xxx.yyy.zzz.
sharing a folder /Volumes/System/Users as Users with SMB guest access allowed and owner rights read&write
sharing a folder /Volumes/System/Users/Profiles as Profiles wit SMB guest access allowed, strict locking, owner rights read&write
Now setting in the WGM the home directory and the windows Profile to filesrv3 following appears
By Logging in in Windows, windows says cannot load profile check you directory ... bla bla...
The logs on my server says the following

In the profile folder the directory for this user is created but nothing more.
The Home is mapped to V: after login but no profile is created or loaded.
It seems the the samba cannot speack correctly with the LDAP.
anyone knows somthing about this?

This doesnt work for me either, I ended up setting the profile path to C:\Documents and Settings\shortname which is OK for me but I only have a few users and a handful of PC's.
This results in proper authentication using OD, and a roaming profile that exists on the local XP computer. I map H: to my home directory and store everything there and I am done.
When Roaming Profiles work properly Id like to implement them. But even then, because Id like to implement 'group policies' I need more and it seems hard to avoid a Windows server for profiles and policy management. I would prefer not to have any Windows admin machines.

Access denied to NAS - OSStatus Error 2 - Cannot access as Registered User

Hi All,
I'm a recent convert to the MAC and working to get my MAC pro set up with everythig I need. I also purchased a time capsule which is now working fine. I understand that I can create a second backup to an external (Buffalo Linkstation LS-CHL 1.5TB) NAS using Time Machine and that it will alternately back up to each. However I am having problems accessing the other NAS. I have used the NAS web set up to confirm that it is set up as AFP and also make sure that it is formatted to be accessed by Apple machines. I have also set it up (a separate share) to be Time Machine compatible.
From Finder, I can connect as a guest without issue and also see the contents of the NAS drive. I am unable to connect as a registered user using any of the User Id's set up on the NAS. I can create folders and copy files to it however, so connecting as Guest and using in this way is ok. When I try to connect as a registered user, I receive the message "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported".
When I go into my time machine settings, I can see and select the "NAS-Share" option from the list of drives. I select "Use Both". It then attempts to connect and brings me to the "Enter name and pw so TM can access it" I'm give the option of Guest or Registered user. Selecting registered user gives me the same message as in Finder above ("The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported"). When I select Guest, I get the error "The operation couldn't be completed, OSStatus error 2." I've surfed all over the web and tried many things, but as yet am unable to access the NAS Drive as a registered user.
Appreciate any help you can provide
regards
Mark

Cannot Access pre-repair TimeMachine files after config. new TM

Hello all...really in a bind...
My only backup is a Time Machine backup which wouldn't restore. While replacing files/folders individually manually (via finder), and then also through Time Machine (somehow became possible again), I decided to backup what I had so far (a few hours of work)...
After backing up via Time Machine, I can no longer access the original files; I am told I 'do not have sufficient access privileges'.
I noticed on the forum that there can be permissions problems with 10.5.6; I am debating either using disk utility to check the external HD the backup(s) are on, and/or doing a permissions change via Terminal (sudo chmod etc....) as recommended in another post (though I am a bit unclear about exactly how to do that)...Is there a better order? one or the other? some other way?
Final complications: The older backups (under users) I want are in a folder on the external HD under { apple's macbook pro 15" }; this has a different user and password than my current computer configuration's backup, which is unfortunately called { Apple's macbook pro 15" } ... could this difference of only a capital A or lower case a be causing a problem? Is there a safe way to change it? Anyway to merge the new and old backups into a seamless 'timeline' where I can access the entire history at once?
Any help really and truly appreciated...

Sorry, but no, a new Mac is a new Mac, and you can't fool Time Machine into thinking otherwise.
On the first backup, you should get the prompt in #B5 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). As explained there, the new backups will be "appended" to the old ones, so you can still see and restore from them. But Time Machine will still do a full backup of the new Mac.

Access to other users' files

I just set up a user account for my daughter, and I went to 'browse' to her files in finder to find that I am not allowed to view them!!!
I don't remember saying to protect these files.
How do I change access permission.
I eventually want to set up another account for my wife, but I want her to have access to my documents and vice versa. For example, if she runs Aperture, I want to be able to add her photos to a common Aperture library.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Mark

I found the answer on another forum, and I thought I'd share it with you.
Right, I am assuming you are an admin on the Mac. Go to the Users folder from Macintosh HD. Select your daughter's home directory. Then you need to select it and right-click (or Control click) and go to Get Info. At the bottom of the window there is a padlock. Click on it. A message box will appear, and you will need to enter your password. Once it is unlocked you can click on the little "+".
Then just add yourself from the list of users that comes up and select which ever option in the right-hand column is most appropriate.
Robert
p.s. It will be the same when you set up your wife's but you will need to chose her to access your home folder.
This seemed to work just fine. I had Aperture on my wife's account use my library. We can both see and modify each other's files. And if there's a folder I don't want her messing with, I can lock her out (read only).
