Check actual link of a network Alias?

As part of our office setup, we have aliases on our Mac desktops that connect to various hard drives on our PC data servers. We're also able to connect to them using the 'connect to server' window within OS X.
For one of the PC hard drives, we forgot how to connect to it through Connect to Server. So for a while we've been using a PC computer to e-mail files to the Mac computers (sad face).
However, we found one computer that had an old desktop alias to that particular hard drive. We've been able to copy/paste this alias onto all our other Macs and it's worked perfectly.
For curiosity sake, i'm wondering if there's any way to see how the alias is 'linking' to the network servers. Am I able to figure out what IP it connects to (e.g. SMB://10.0.0.99), what workgroup/username/password combo it uses, etc.. etc...?

Easiest for me is with Network Utility in Applications>Utilities, click on the Lookup Tab & put the name in.

Broken network alias/Weird netstat results

After working fine for months, all of a sudden I can't connect to one particular system I have on my home network (it is a network attached storage device). The problem is only from one machine (I have 2 other Macs and they work fine). I also have other systems (including another identical storage device) that all still work fine. My network alias links for this device complain that they are broken. I can't connect regardless of the protocol I use -- SMB, FTP or HTTP. I can't even ping it as I get "no route to host".
I changed the IP address of the system to see if I could get around it that way -- no good. I checked the network tables (netstat -rn) and found that there are some curious entries for that device both before/after I changed its IP address:
192.168.1.10 127.0.0.1 UHS 0 0 lo0
192.168.1.15 link#4 UHLW 0 9 en0
These appear to be static routes stuck in the routing table that give erroneous routing information on how to travel to my storage device. Any idea how I get rid of these entries as, it seems, they are the key to solving the issues I'm seeing?

You can use the route command to manipulate your routing tables.
sudo route delete 192.168.0.10
Or you can flush them all with route flush but you'd better be prepared to add the default gateway back (e.g. sudo route add default 192.168.0.1).
But that's more informational than anything, 'cause I don't think that will solve your problem. Something's advertising those routes and they'll probably show right back up. Maybe I'm wrong, give it a try.

I can't seem to use the 'Check seats' link on Delta when I use Firefox but Safari works fine. I get the message 'not available at this time' when using Firefox but when I go to Safari it works fine.

I can't seem to use the 'Check seats' link on the Delta Airlines site when I use Firefox but Safari works fine. I get the message 'not available at this time' when using Firefox but when I go to Safari it works fine. I love Firefox but this sucks!

That issue can be caused by corrupted cookies.

Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost

in my downloads window in iTunes it shows i have "28 iTunes downloads available". when i try to download them, i get the error "Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost."
my connection is fine though, as i can individually download purchases by clicking on the cloud icon.

I followed the advice on Holgr's link, i used screen flow to capture the error message, and then made the video available to apple support. My issue was immediately escalated, and my account started working again shortly after.
I received no additional messages from tech support, i had no idea the problem was resolved until i tried it again.

Check actual apply log time on standby database after synchronization

Hi All,
I want to check the date and time stamp of applied archived logs on stanby database. How should I check that??
My dataguard link was broken for sometime and meanwhile lot of transactions happened on primary database. Now When the link came up the synchronisation happened within few hours and ultimatly transport and appliy lag became 0. But now I want to check actual time taken for tranporting the logs and applying them on standby database. Is there any way I could do that easily..
Thanks

This script written by Yousef Rifai I found here http://www.dba-village.com/village/dvp_forum.OpenThread?ThreadIdA=34772&DestinationA=RSS might be just what you need (run on standby database):
set ver off
alter session set nls_date_format='dd-mon-yy hh24:mi:ss'
select app_thread, seq_app, tm_applied,
nvl(seq_rcvd,seq_app) seq_rcvd, nvl(tm_rcvd,tm_applied) tm_rcvd
from
(select sequence# seq_app, FIRST_TIME tm_applied, thread# app_thread
from v$archived_log where applied = 'YES'
and (first_time, thread#) in (
select max(FIRST_TIME ), thread#
from v$archived_log where applied = 'YES'
group by thread# )
(select sequence# seq_rcvd, FIRST_TIME tm_rcvd, thread# rcvd_thread
from v$archived_log where applied = 'NO'
and (first_time, thread#) in (
select max(FIRST_TIME ), thread#
from v$archived_log where applied = 'NO'
group by thread# )
where rcvd_thread(+)= app_thread

When drop .ps file into Acrobat Distiller message looking for network alias folder. Why?

Hi,
Anyone can help on this.
My system is OSX 10.6.4 on a MacBook Pro.
I have some window network Alias folders placed on my Desktop, created and placed there from my other office workers for easy excess to their hard disk. Like pick-up files and dropping files off without using emailing.
My problem is why? when ever I drop a .ps file into the Acrobat Distiller for converting .ps into .pdf file, a similar message asking for all the Alias folders, one at a time, will appear one after another (See attached). The .pdf file will only be converted and appear when all the Alias messages are click "OK" away.
In the past, I have done the .pdf conversion as mentioned above, no popping messages.
What must I do so that this kind of message do not appear again.
Obviously, if I delete all the Alias folders, the messages will not appear but I would rather like to know if I am missing something.
Help.
Thanks
Jack

It could be that Distiller thinks some fonts are on the server: Check your font settings. It could be a corrupt preference file. It could be a cache problem. You can empty your cache using Applejack or Onyx.

Problem creating a link to a network folder

I am working with a SharePoint 2010 site. Due to not being able to utilize SharePoint Designer, I am limited to editing the site by first navigating to the SharePoint site and then selecting edit page from the site options menu.
I have a table setup and there are two cells within the table that I want to have linked to different network folders. The first cell has 'operations brief' in it, and after researching how to establish a link to a network folder, I learned that I could
do it by inserting a link and pointing to file://servername. In this situation, I highlighted the text and then selected insert and link from address option. I typed in
file://Y:\Operations%20Brief\2013 into the URL field. After saving the site, I tested the link and it successfully opened the network folder.
I then followed the same procedure for another network folder named Quick Reference Card. The only difference between the operations brief folder and the quick reference card folder is that the quick reference card folder has parentheses and numbers - Y:\(8)Library\Quick
Reference Card (QRC). I am not understanding why when I view the site out of editing mode, I can click on the operations brief folder and have it open. When I click the Quick Reference Card link, nothing happens. The text appears as a hyperlink -- it's in
blue and is underlined.
I've removed the link and re-added it several times, only to get the same result. I can't figure out why one link works, and why another one doesn't even though I'm sure I created the second link the same way I created the first link.

Hi,
I have followed the same procedure what you followed, it is working as expected and both the links are working fine. The following is the HTML SOURCE from the content editor web part. Please verify your HTML source from the content editor part.

Welcome to Operations folder <a href="file:///Y:/Operations%20Brief/2013">Operations</a>
<a href="file:///Y:/(8)Library/Quick%20Reference%20Card%20(QRC)">Quick Reference card folder</a>

When trying to verify my sync acct e-mail I get an error message that the URL is invalid. When I check the link, all that shows up is http// and nothing el

When I check the link all that shows is http// and nothing else. It does this repeatedly. I am using Outlook for Windows 8.1. I haven't tried any other embedded e-mail links to see if this is a universal problem or just isolated to this particular e-mail.

Hi dscraper,
Thank you for posting your question. At this time there is a known issue that we are working on a fix for. The Outlook link is not working for Outlook 2013 email addresses.

Unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost.

I get this all the time in iTunes 12.1: "unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost."
Sometimes it does what it's supposed to do anyway, sometimes it doesn't. I also get the: "We could nor complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was lost". If I sign out and back in that goes way, but item #1 is still showing up all the time. Even when nothing is apparently happening?

Is there standard report to check actual (GR) based on project/ WBS

Hi All,
Is there any standard report to check actual based on project / wbs. At the moment i know the tcode CJ74.
Is there any other report ?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Denis Evitanto

Hi,
Report (S_ALR_87013542) is most effective report for projects as planned cost / actual cost / Project profitability will be obtained from there.
Planed cost of the project will be obtained from the report. E.g. if you are doing project costing through Cost elements, in the mentioned report, all the cost planned through various Cost elements will be obtained. After posting actual cost to project, there can be comparison of planned cost Vs actual cost.
Hope this will help you.

Unable to lookup System ...check the system object and the alias

Hi,
I am working on EP6 Sp 9. I have created iviews and integrated j2ee application by appIntegartor . everything is working fine . but these iviews are working only with superadmin role . with any other role am getting the error message "Unable to lookup System 'NNNJ2ee'. Please check the system object and the alias.."
Have created a role and done appropriate user mapping. Connection Test goes through successfully and iViews work fine as expected, but just in administrator login.
i found a a thread dissucing about the same problem in this forum and followed the solution given by them(assigning eu_role to the user) .
But still it is not working for me.
can anyone please help me in finding the solution .
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Hi,
The cause is :
When you create an item with the 'super admin role' user's , you don't have the role : 'eu_role' assigned.
So when you create a new item the role 'eu_role' is not spread to end user.
The solution is :
First add the 'eu_role' to the super admin user. For all next item created it's work fine.
For item already created,
- right click on the object, Select open permissions.
- In the display option, choose Permissions
- Search for role : 'eu_role'
- Add the permissions
- check the box 'End User'
- Save
- And test
For me it's work fine. Let me know if it's good for you...

When I try to connect to wi-fi, it asks for the password, but I got this question. If you don't know the password, check with the Wi-Fi network administrator, but I don't know how.

Hi All,
When I try to connect to wi-fi, it asks for a password. Then I got this question. If you don't know the password, check with the Wi-Fi network administrator, but how do I find the network administrator.

Whomever provides the wi-fi.
To what wi-fi network are trying to connect?

Clicking links in apple mail opens firefox, but does not go to the actual link.

Clicking on links in Apple Mail opens/switches to Firefox, but does not go to the page of the actual link. It just loads the homepage or stays on whatever page I was on before. Links work fine when I switch my default browser to Safari, so I think the problem is with Firefox, not Mail. Downloading the latest version of Adobe Flash seemed to temporarily fix the problem, but it stopped working within a day or two.

Here's a link to a thread that solved the problem for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12552345&#12552345
The culprit was that the Flash plugin needed updating for FF. That was it.
Go to Firefox; Preferences; General (tab); Add-ons; Manage Add-ons; Plugins.
I clicked on Find Updates and immediately updated the Flash plugin.
Hope this helps others.
