Cant connect to OSX server over network in recovery mode

Hi guys.
First of all, thanks for any help you can give me.
I am running osx server on a mavericks mac mini on a home network. Attached to it I have a 1tb hard drive to which all the macs in my house use time machine to back up over my network and they are stored there.
I have just formatted one of my macs and want to restore it from these time machine backups that are on the osx server on my network.
When i enter recovery mode from boot (COMMAND R), it can see the "backups" on networks "Matts-Mac-Mini" but when i then click "CONNECT" it says "Enter your name and password for the server "Matts-Mac-Mini/local" so that Time Machine can access it.
It gives me a box with NAME and PASSWORD and a CONNECT button.
By DEFAULT the "NAME" it starts with is "root".......which I dont understand.
I have tried every single iteration of names and passwords I can think of but it still wont connect, it either shakes the box or gives an error saying "There was a problem connecting to the server "Matts-Mac-mini.local". Check the server name of IP address and then try again".
I have tried the log in details for the osx server, the login details for the mac im trying to connect from, used root as the username, tried capitals, no capitals, spaces no spaces etc. I am at a total loss and about to tear my hair out!!
Is there anyone able to give me any help with this please, I would be SO grateful!
Many thanks,
hardtofin

I think I have isolated the password, with a certain username and password the box never shakes and instead gives the error: "There was a problem connecting to the server "Matts-Mac-mini.local". Check the server name of IP address and then try again".
Are you able to offer any help with this? I dont see why i can't connect to it, if the imac can already see it?
Many thanks again,
hardtofin

I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
Good luck and let us know!

When i plug my phone into itunes for the ios update, it downloads but then says it cant connect to the server. How do i get my update?

When i plug my phone into itunes for the ios update, it downloads but then says it cant connect to the server. How do i get my update?

Here are Apple Steps for Error 21:
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
My additional advice:
Also Error 21 can occur with DFU Mode Restore, try Recovery Mode Restore. Restart computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes.

Connection to OSX Server delayed - no auto connect

when I try to connect to my OSX server it takes around one minute before the connection is established . every morning I have to reconnect with the server (no auto connect). the other two MBP in the office with OSX 10.5 are auto connected every time.
MPB OSX 10.6.2
Server OSX Server 10.5.8
connected over ethernet

Under the Apple Menu ->System Preferences ->Network. The left hand column should display known network connections. Click the little plus sign and add the appropriate connection.
For future reference this information is available via the help menu as are directions that might be easier to understand.

Safari cant connect to a server.

I have Safari Version 7.0.2 (9537.74.9) Running on a powerbook with   10.9.2
message. when I open google, facebook or twitter... "Safari cant connect to server."
and firefox .. but I can open almost any other website.
This is the message I get in Firefox.
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Sometimes when I restart the computer it works for a few minutes then it gets blocked again...
I have tried restarding the browsers, deleting the cookies and a few other stuff but nothing seems to be working..
This is a new Mac ANd I havent installed many programms in it.

You, or someone using your computer, changed the network settings in an attempt to bypass copyright restrictions on Netflix. The illegal DNS server you're using should never have been trusted and now doesn't work.
Delete all the DNS servers by selecting them and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom of the list. You may have to unlock the settings first by clicking the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and entering your administrator login password when prompted.
If the server addresses are grayed out and can't be deleted, even with the preference pane unlocked, then the change was made on your router. Refer to its documentation to find out how to reverse the change. The router should get its DNS settings automatically from the ISP.
Click OK, then Apply. The DNS server list should be repopulated automatically with the address of your router, or the addresses of the DNS servers provided by your ISP. If that doesn't happen, open the TCP/IP tab of the preferences and click Renew DHCP Lease. If you're not using DHCP, manually enter the DNS server addresses you got from your ISP, or else use these temporarily:

Trouble connecting to OSX server from XP domain members

Can someone help me out with a problem connecting to our OS X server from Windows XP? Basically, I only have trouble connecting from XP machines that are members of the domain.
Here are some details:
OS X Server 10.3.9, bound to domain through Active Directory.
Windows Services role = Domain Member.
Computer name (under Windows Services) = macserver
Connects fine from Macs via Network>Domain>macserver
macserver IP address: 192.168.1.5
Sharing 1 folder to all members of the domain.
I can connect fine from OS X computers and XP computers that are NOT members of the domain
I can connect from XP domain members via the IP address \\192.168.1.5
I cannot connect from XP domain members via Network Neighborhood>Domain>macserver, or by entering the computer name. Error message recieved: "The account is not authorized to log on from this location."
I can ping macserver from any xp machine and it resolves the IP address.
I can browse the webserver on OSX Server via http://macserver.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Eric

I can't remember how I resolved this. I think I had a number of problems, for instance, spaces in fileshare names. I might also have set up the domain incorrectly. Who knows.

OSX server + Private Network (and NAT) + Airport Extreme: Incompatibility ?

DHCP on Airport Extreme (AE) prevents some private network configuration.
*Imagine the following:*
- An AE that shares a public IP for your private network (NAT) => DHCPd is on (not an option)
- A Mac Mini with snow leopard and some services activated (Calendars, Wiki, Open Directory, ...) and a DNS with a private domain (e.g. you server is called: minisrv1.private)
- Client with account linked to an account on the OSX server
*Your problem:*
You can't activate a DHCP server on your OSX server: it will conflict with the one in your AE.
All your DHCP clients will get your AE address as DNS server and consequently wont be able to resolve any of your private addresses in your private domain
Your server will advertise all it's services with private domain's addresses
*==> All your client machines will get un-reachable services information (like iCal cannot connect to iCal server minisrv1.private)*
A solution might be to "trick" down the DHCP on the AE:

I don't believe your analysis is correct.
You're right that when using the AirPort Extreme as an edge router connected to your ISP, and using NAT/DHCP to share its connect, the AE will configure all clients to use the AE as the DNS server (it actually acts as a DNS proxy).
However, it is still entirely possible to use your own, internal, private DNS server for those clients.
You see, the AE has its DNS server configuration in the Internet tab - this is where the AE will direct all DNS lookups, including those from DHCP clients.
Your solution is to just tell the AE to use your internal server for its DNS. That way it will be able to resolve your .private domain, and will enable all DHCP clients to do the same.

Slow connection to OSX Server 10.6

Running 10.6.5 server on 10.6.5 clients.
Anyone notice how slow it can be to connect when using the shortname for the username?
If you connect using the long name it's instant? Any ideas?
This is file sharing using Open Directory.

I am also finding authenticating against osx server / directory or workgroup manager very slow. When I login to a Network Account it takes several minutes.

SMB connection attempt switches to WebDAV unexpectedly when connecting to OSX server

With Windows 8.1, I can connect to my OSX 10.9.5 Server share point by opening File Explorer, typing: \\<fqdn> and hitting return. I will be prompted for server credentials and when I enter them, I will see the share point.
With Window 10, if I do the same thing, instead of seeing the shareppoint, I see a blank Windows Explorer screen with "This folder is empty".
I contacted Apple with a tcpdump from this and they said that Windows 10 is attempting to connect over HTTP instead of SMB:
ACTION: Windows is handling the connection incorrectly by attempting to use Webdav instead of SMB.
STATUS: As with any other 3rd party integration cases, we attempt to identify an issue as either an issue to a 3rd party product, or to identify and isolate the issue in
the Apple product.
In packet 64 the client sends an SMB 1 negotiate request (expected).  In packet 66 the server responds in SMB 2 with the SMB 2 features it supports
(expected).  In packet 67 the client sends the SMB 2 negotiation request (expected).  In packet 69 the server responds with the SMB2 negotiation response (expected).
Normally at this point the client will send an authentication attempt in SMB 2 using one of the authentication types provided by the server in packets 66 or 69.  Instead
the Windows client sends a tcp connection reset in packet 70 (unexpected).  In packet 74 the windows client initiates a connection over HTTP (extremely unexpected).
The above pattern repeats several times in the tcpdump.
The mac server never presented any HTTP information in the SMB packets.  This appears to be a purely Windows 10 issue.
If I connect to the server by typing: \\<fqdn>\sharepoint -- then I do connect, but the OSX server does not indicate this is an SMB connection, so it must be a WebDav connection (which would be incredibly wrong...)
If this is a settings issue in Windows 10 that is forcing an HTTP connection over an SMB attempt -- can somebody point me where to look?

According to Apple, it appears that if the SMB server (in this case Mac OS X 10.10.1) has port 443 open, Windows 10 attempts to connect over that instead of over the SMB port.
Anybody looking at this one?

Outlook doesn't want to connect with OSX Server on 2 out of 3 clients

I have three computers on which I have installed Outlook 2011. All three are running Mavericks. On one of them, a MacBook air, I have established an outlook account connecting to my OSX server with no problems. On the other two computers when I set the parameters the same way, I cannot establish an outlook account. When I use Apple Mail on any of the three machines, I am able to establish accounts for iCloud and the OSX server with no problems. Can anyone point me to the source of this problem or a method for trouble shooting it?

Essbase Administration Services: Cant connect to Administration Server

Cant connet to Administration Server via EAS console. I would appreciate any hints that might help me overcome this next unknown.
Background follows:
I installed EPMA 11.1.2.2, and then went to the workspace wondering where the sample data was (after I created a sample app). I discovered in docs and forumns that I had to load it through the Essbase Administration Services console. Now I'm trying to get that to work. I installed it after posts revealed that it is part of the client installers (thanks John) package. Now that it is installed I run it, try to login, and get an error message that says "could not connect to Administration Server." I reinstalled the EAS database as a new install to my server.mydomainb.org:1433 via the configurator. Then I redployed all the apps to the app server. And lastly started all of the services. Still I get the same message. I've done this about 4 times hoping that a reconfig will somehow fix something but still no joy. I've also tried loggin in with different names for the server such as myserver:1433 or myserver.mydomain.org:1433 or myserver and none of those helped either.
I have manually started all the services so they appear to be working. I may be missing one but I wouldn't know.
The services that are running include:
Hyperion EPM Server - Web Application
Hyperion EPMA Server
Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management
Hyperion Integration Services
Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework
Hyperion Studion Services BPMS bpms1
Some in posts have suggested also going to the logs. 11.1.2.2 docs say that the EAS logs are located at oracle_home\user_projects\domains\epmsystem\servers\EssAdm..Services0\logs\easserver.log. But I found mine at:
<oracle_home>\user_projects\domains\epmsystem1\servers\logs. You will notice that my empsystem is empsystem1 instead. There I found that the easserver.log file is empty but I did find one error in the file EPMServer0.log. The error I found is as follows:
####<Apr 4, 2013 11:42:09 AM MDT> <Error> <JDBC> <SLCBRASSTEST> <EPMServer0> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '18' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1365097329966> <BEA-001112> <Test "select count(*) from SERVERLOGID" set up for pool "eas_datasource" failed with exception: "java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: [FMWGEN][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'SERVERLOGID'.".>
I'm not sure what to try next so any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

"Hyperion EPM Server - Web Application" indicates that the web apps have been deployed to a single managed server, this means the web apps will be running a default port of 9000, the EAS console is not aware of the port so you will need to include it when you add the server in the console e.g. servername:9000
Cheers

Can't connect to my printer over network anymore

We upgraded to ox10.9 and since then we can't connect to the brother laser printer connected to our other computer. I went to brother's web site and downloaded the newest driver and now when I click on "add printer" it's not even there. I don't know what to do. I reset my printers and it's still not showing up... only if I connect it via a USB. Before 10.9 I could connect to the printer over bonjour because I was connected on my other lap top..
any ideas?

I figured it out. I had to create a new location on both the Powerbook and G5 and click "Apply Now". Then the PB showed up as a server on the G5.
