Cannot access windows shares with NTFS junction points

Hi,
I upgraded to Mavericks and now I cannot access Windows shared where the folders are access through NTFS junction points. (NTFS junction points are like symbolic links to files/folders).
Regular shares are working fine and these shares are working on Windows PC's. I also tried before and after on another Mac Mini I have, so is definitatley something to do with upgrading to Mavericks.
Thanks in advance
A.

This is related to Apple's new SMB2 implementation in Mavericks.
Instead of connecting to your Windows share via SMB, connect via CFIS. Note that I had to disconnect from Windows share, restart, and then reconnect with CFIS to get the NTFS junction points to work.
From ZDNet:
You can also try forcing Mavericks to use the older SMB variant, Common Internet File System (CIFS). To do this, simply edit your server connection URL so that it uses CIFS. Use the Finder to choose the "Go" menu and select "Connect to Server..." (or just use command-K) and type "cifs://YourServerName" and hit Return; the server should mount. If it doesn't, try entering the share's designation as well, e.g. "cifs://YourServerName/YourDriveName."
[BE SURE TO RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING FROM SMB SHARES AND BEFORE THE CFIS CONNECT TO MAKE SURE ALL ACCESS THREADS CLOSE!]

I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!

If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Error -43: file not found" errors

Summary:
With the combination of Windows 7 and Quicktime 7.x, Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Couldn't create output movie storage" and "Error -43: file not found" errors
Steps to Reproduce:
Trying to render to Quicktime files using network shared folders as a destination:
Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
The funny thing: it only happens when there are at least two shared folders mapped on the workstation, and the destination folder used for the rendered movie is not the first one.
If we have only two mapped drives, F: and G: for example, and we try to render something to F:, everything works fine and no error is showed. But, when the destination is the G: drive, rendering never works, the error is showed, but a zero-byte file is created in F: (!!). ODD! If we remap F: drive with a different letter, but a letter BEFORE G:, the problem always happens. If we remap drive F: to any letter AFTER G:, making G: the first available network drive, rendering works. Also, simply unmapping F: and leaving G: as the only connected network folder makes render to work.
We do not have a D: drive in our Windows 7 workstations, they are all C: only.
It is a 100% reproducible problem. We tried with three different Active Directory networks and workstations. It has all of the features of a software bug.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Expected Results:
Error -43: file not found
Actual Results:
The workaround seems to be to use the full path to the servers instead of the mapped mount point (ie //server/z/... instead of Z:/...
Regression:
All versions of quicktime 7 in combination with windows 7 client and more than one smb share point mapped in a letter.
Notes:
All software that uses quicktime movie exports showed this error.

Not sure what file your are referencing? Thanks for your suggestion, however, it's not relavant.
It renders fine if you render to either the UNC path or the first mapped drive.
i.e. If you have two mapped drives G: and H:
they both point to \\fileserver\share1\folder
If you render to H: it will fail, if you render to G: it works! Same path, same user, same permissions.
The only difference is H comes after G, so it fails... BUG. If it was to do with anything else, underscores, permissions etc, it would fail on both.

Easy Way to allow Mac Users to Access Windows Shares

I have a client that runs a mix of macs and pcs.
They have a seperate domain for macs running on an xserve with 10.2.8 server and a domain of windows 2000 servers for the pcs
My question is, is there an easy way to allow the mac users to be authenticated to shares that are available on the windows 2000 network without having to be prompted with a different login? ie access the shares with there current mac login username and password?

Hi
If your mac clients can 'see' the windows domain then simply add a single generic user account on the Windows Server. Most people create a single account called macuser with the same password.
Mac clients should now be able to command+K from the Go Menu and key in smb://windowserver'sIPaddress. They should be prompted for the user name and password.
If you want to use the same account details as available on the Mac Server then you could export users from the local Node and import them into the Windows Server. Passwords are not retained using this method but if you don't have a lot of mac users you can simply re-key their passwords or use a password common to all and use a password policy forcing users to change them at next log-in. You could consider using something like Passenger which does retain passwords. Depending on which Windows Server it is I'm not sure how successful it would be reading imported account from such an old server version?
Again if you don't have a lot of mac users simply key them all in.

Smbntefs probelm accessing windows shares

Hello,
I followed the wiki guide about smbnetfs and the output informations after smbnetfs installation. The shares are automatically mounted in /mnt/smbnet and I can see them,
but when i double click a share
(through Thunar - Xfce4) I take the following message:
Failed to open directory "PC_SHARE"
Software caused connection abort
Is the problem caused because of file permissions?
Can anyone tell me in detail what chmod I have to do and where?
Also which files must be in ~/.smb? (and the permissions of that folder)
(At the past I had no problem accessing the shares with the same tool and without conserning about the permissions of that folders)

Have you tried simply disconnecting from the Windows share and reconnecting? Rebooting may be overkill
The Mac network browser seems to be relatively static or lazy, and often needs a bit of prodding to recognize changes on the other systems, esp. a Windows share.
I would not call it a bug, but it is something to be aware of.
Sometimes the Windows share on my Mac remains in the Finder window long after I have shut down the Windows box.

Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

Cannot access site ending with #

Some links within sites end with #. i cannot access these sites with firefox. IE works fine. i have 3.6.3 with Java 6.0.200.2

Every time Firefox opened

You must have been disabled scripts in this site.
I'm using No-Script.
At first I blocked all scripts @firstdirect.com

it sent me to #
Then I enabled all the scripts @firstdirect.com
and when clicked on: internet banking
it sent me to login site.
So please make sure that you haven't blocked the site from using scripts (which is probably the problem here).

Cannot access MobileMe email with my Palm T/X

I cannot access my email with my Palm software..getting error message saying to use PC or Mac browser. Any suggestions on how I can use my Palm browser to access my mobileMe mail?
Thanks.

Hello mgrschizo, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
There is no legal way to download the Installation Disk for the TX, due to the fact you've already mentioned - it contains copywritten software that is not "free for the taking". You can purchase the latest version of Docs to Go from Dataviz.com.
Usedpdaparts.com appears to still have some of the disks for sale though:

Cannot access music purchased with an earlier email ID

I cannot access music purchased with an earlier email that is no longer valid. Do you know how I sync all my e-mail addresses under one ID?

Perhaps iTunes Store Support could help you:

... but the key to success will very likely be to figure out that password. Then you would be able to authorize that account in iTunes.

Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed?

Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed? If so, do you still use the Option key upon restart?

I don't use Bootcamp. However, I do know that with a firmware password, pressing the option key at startup will cause the password entry screen to come up; after entering the password, you will get the boot device choice screen.
So, if Bootcamp partitions normally show up on that screen then it should work just fine, or so I'd imagine.

That means the person you are playing doesn't have the app on their phone!! And they can only play on the PC?
How about asking the person your playing if they have the app or not.
If you don't want help here, you can more than ask the WWF developer why your having trouble.
You can take your attitude somewhere else!!

Cannot access CIFS shares from Windows 2008R2 on NSS3000

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade our 2008 domain to 2008R2 but with that last version we cannot access to cifs shares on the NSS3000. Access from all other clients are OK. It was 100% OK under 2008...
Whether I use the IP or the FQDN, I got an error from Windows 2008R2. From IP, I got "No process is on the other end of pipe." and from network Gui, I got "Windows cannot access \\nas0026CB647BC6. Check the spelling of the name...blabla. Details : Error Code : 0x80070035, The network path was not found".
On the NAS, I got this errors in the cifs logs :

It is likely to be an incompatibility between Windows 2008R2 smbv2 and the NSS3000 smbd but I can't find any firmware update and I can't find the process to allow in the registry.
I can ping it, I can connect on the web interface, I can connect on FTP but no CIFS at all.
Firmware version running is 1.20.1. Hardware rev : V03.
Any idea?

Hi SpaceBass, have you looked into sharepoints or into Netinfo manager. I have been playing around with sharepoints and it does let me enter non local users into the sharing prefs- albeit manually. Only thing is , depending on the number of macs you have, it could be a long and tedious job entering it all by hand. Netinfo may have an easier way, I'll do some more digging and post back.
Cheers.

Problems accessing windows share folders with iMac joined to the domain

Hi,
Following the Apple Seminar (http://seminars.apple.com/seminarsonline/addamac/apple/index.html?s=300) I've joined an iMac (10.6.2) to a Windows Domain successfully and I can login with my windows account.
The problem arises when I try to mount a share folder. Mac ask me if I want to access as a guest or as a registered user, and it's really weird since the folder belongs to the windows user. It seems like Mac doesn't use the login account to access the share folders...
Regards,

Cannot access SMB shares from Windows boxes in AD domain

Hey folks
I've needed to tackel this for sometime, but Santa is bringing me a dual core G5 and the urgency just increased.
I have an Active Directory domain and all of my macs are successfully joined and get Kerberos tickets upon login. I can access any shares I need from OS X -> windows but NOT the other way around.
I did finally noticed that only local user accounts seem to appear in the accounts list in the sharing pref pane. So I have figured out that I can access any users folder with that one account- OUCH! What I need is access control based on the user.
For instance if I want to share ~jdoe and jdoe is a mobile account and an AD user then if I am logged into windows as [email protected] then I should be able to access the share on the mac. Conversly I should not be able to access ~jdoe with the mac's local admin account and pass.
Do I need to change my smb.conf to reflect AD and if so, where/what?
Also, do I need to map UIDs to anything? And, is that a security risk?
Thanks!
