Client will not mount SAN after upgrade to 10.4.8 Server

Living life on the bleeding edge, I loaded the 10.4.8 Server upgrade onto my G4 Xserve which is the MDC for my single Xraid SAN. The SAN started without a hitch, however, the volume would not mount on the client side. The MDC shows up in the client list and the mount buttons are active, but the SAN will not mount. The system log yields the following error:
Can not mount filesystem, cvfs error 'Invalid argument' (0xb) while initializing local portmapper
I checked the obvioius: /volume is clear of old links, running cvfsck showed no problems, and cvadmin stat looks ok and who shows the MDC as FSM and ADM.
Has anybody else run into this? Any observations would be welcomed!
Thanks,

As indicated on the tag line, Xsan 1.4. Upgrade from OS 10.4.7. SAN created using version 1.4. SAN mounted just fine under 10.4.7. In an attempt to isolate the problem, I tried mounting the SAN from the command line:
mount -t acfs iplVol1.cfg /Volumes
only to received the same invalid argument error. I suspect that a parameter name has been changed/deleted/munged when parsing the volume's cfg file. Since Apple did NOT reference the invalid string token in the error message, I can not be sure. I am just now getting back to work the issue.

Some client data not being populated after upgrading to NCS 1.1.0.58

After upgrading to Cisco Prime NCS 1.1.0.58 some of the client data is not being populated or gathered. The graphs labeled "Client Count By Association/Authentication" and "Client Count By Wireless/Wired" are no longer being updated? Not sure what was changed during the upgrade or where to look to get it to start collecting the data again?

Eajackson,
Make sure your WLC, MSE and WCS/NCS code matches the compatibility matrix here:

FireWire Drive in Enclosure Will not mount cleanly after installn Leopard

Help!
I installed Leopard and had a devil of a time and may have messed up my External 200 GB Maxtor drive in an Enclosure connected via firewire directly to my Mac.
Let me explain: I had a Maxtor internal 200 GB Hard Drive. I removed that drive and put it in an Enclosure connected with a FireWire Cable to my G4 QuickSilver desk top. I purchased a larger Seagate 500 GB Hard Drive and installed Leopard on it in the same internal slot where the Maxtor was installed previously. My other Internal Drive was a Seagate 250 GB Hard Drive on which I have Tiger with the latest update. Now I have two operating systems--one on the Sea Gate 250 GB with Tiger --and the other is a internal Hard Drive is 500 GB Seagate with Leopard on it. I now have installed two different version of MacOS X respectively. I select the boot drive in the System Preferences as I want to migrate to Leopard slowly due to the software programs that will require later updates with Leopard.
The external Maxtor drive now does not "mount" upon reboot like the other LaCie drives Firewire external Drives. If I toggle the drive "Power Switch" "on and off" the Maxtor in the enclosure is finally displayed on the desk top. A message comes up, that I *"did not eject the drive properly and I could loose data", "Initialize, Cancel or Eject"*. I choose "Cancel". Then the drive comes back to the desk top.
This all started up after I had to reinstall Leopard as Leopard would poll all ports and got confused--and took forever to install. I had to reformat the internal new Seagate 500 HD and wrote "0" on it and then installed Leopard on it from the DVD. It did not install properly the second time. I had to power down and disconnect all USB and Fire Wire peripherals including the Maxtor. Then I installed Leopard from the DVD and right away did the update. Finally Safari worked in Leopard. Then I reconnected all peripherals including the Maxtor.
Now the Maxtor does not display on the Desk top. When I toggle the external hard drive "off on" switch I found the "External 200 GB Maxtor data drive in an Initio Enclosure" on the disk top. In Disk Utility I tried to "repair" it and sometime that takes. It seems to have the data files on it--and I also run Disk Warrior and Tech Tools Pro. Tech Tools shows two mount points names "Disk4 Initio 6L20P0" and "Disk5 Initio L200P0". It also shows "Disk ID Disk 5s2" and also "Disk ID 4s2". I ran Both Tech Tools and Disk Warrior on it and Disk Warrior crashed during the rewriting of the Desktop during the first time I ran it.
This disk was an internal disk which I put into an enclosure but it worked previously as a data drive prior when Tiger was on a different drive. Ii worked OK as a mounted HD prior to my installing Leopard. After to installing Leopard initially on the new Seagate internal 500 GB Drive, Leopard would hang up in Safari after the initial installation.
I was on line with Apple Tech Support and I had to reinstall Leopard and do the update after reformatting the 500 GB internal Seagate. Now Leopard works OK except it does not display the Maxtor HD on the desk top. The Tiger works OK also except it also does not display the Maxtor HD on the desk top. I have to toggle the "off on switch" to get them to mount the Maxtor on the Desk top. That is when the message comes up about the "Initialize, Cancel or Eject".
What advise can you give me?

Well I am happy to report the solution to my F/W enclosure drive dilemma.
I had to do an archive and reinstall of Tiger from the DVD. Then I used the Combo updater as suggested by someone on this Group Discussion Forum to get my Maxtor F/W drive to mount and behave properly on my desk top.
I tried everything in between--but this seems to work OK for now.
After I installed Tiger as an Archive and Install from the DVD, I downloaded the Combo Updater to 10.4.11. I shut down and removed all items from my computer except the monitor and keyboard and Airport Extreme Base Station.
Then I installed the update.
I plugged in the connections including my Lacie FW external drives and they mounted easily. Then I plugged in the Maxtro in an enclosure. It mounted--as it had many times before.
Then I checked it in System profiler--and the drive and the Maxtor Volume name were displayed under the FW items in the Initio Enclosure. The other two Lacie F/W drives were also displayed.
I then jumped to Disk Utility and the drives were all displayed.
I selected the Maxtor and repaired the drive and one bad file count was detected and Disk Utility repaired it.
Then I shut down and rebooted into the Safe Mode. I opened the desk top and all drives were seen. This procedure apparently cleans out the caches and other items that might confuse the HD.
Upon reboot, I could see all 3 F/W drives and the 2 internal drives on the desk top.
Hopefully I am out of the woods--but now I have to make sure all my drivers and other items are back in service.
I have Photo Shop Elements 3 now working and so does my scanner aster I had to work on the scanner settings. My printer is still not printing yet from my scanner.
Most other items seem to work--including Safari 3.04.
I hope no one else makes that same mistake--always remove all items from your computer when a major update or install of a new Mac OS is performed.
This cost me 2 weeks of agony--including a spoiled Thanksgiving Holiday!!

IPhone 4s will not back up after upgrading to IOS 8.1

My phone is supposed to be backing up automatically, but I keep receiving a message saying that I have not backed up in over 4 weeks.
Each time I try backing up manually, the screen pops up asking for my ICloud ID and password, I enter that, then it looks like it starting the backup, but then the screen pops back up asking me to sign in again. It seems to be in a virtual loop that will not allow my phone to complete the backup.

Hello Brenden,
I followed all the troubleshooting tips. Everything is set properly, so my phone should be backing up automatically, but is not.
When I try to back up manually, it will start, then a pop up asks for my ICloud Password (again! which it already did), I enter the password and it returns me back to the screen that gives me the option to back up manually. The message at the bottom say "Last Backup could not be completed".
I keep going through the same motions over and over and over again with no results.
I am in a perpetual loop with this and the phone will not back up, either automatically or manually.
-My device is connected to a power source (the computer)
-The device is connected to the internet (my home Wi-Fi)
-The device screen is locked
Is there a way to go back and down load IS 06? I did not have these problems until I upgraded to IOS 8.0, then 8.1.
I thought the bugs were FIXED!
As you can tell, I am quite frustrated with this problem and am concerned that I am unable to back up my phone.
Can someone please help!
Thank you,
Cweiss2

IPhoto library contains lots of gb but will not open pictures after upgrade to iPhoto ´11

Upgraded from iPhoto ´08 to iPhoto ´11 (9.5.1) and to OS Maverick (10.9.1).
In "Finder" the library still seem to contain lots of gigabytes of data, but when iPhoto open the library it reads 0 photos. I have tried rebuilt (option+cmd key when opening iPhoto), iPhoto library manager, I have purchased aperture which acts just like iPhoto. Quite a few pictures missing, starting to become desperate - anyone with other ideas? Any help appreciated!
Thomas

Give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Will not Load WebSites after Upgrade today. Most of the plugins errored & were deemed incompatible with the new update.

Will not connect to ANY website - my other Browsers (IE & Safari are still working)
I downloaded & reinstalled Firefox but this didn't fix the problem.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My ipad will not stay activated after upgrading from version 7 to version 8.

After upgrading from version 7 to version8 I cannot keep my ipad activated. I have tried online tech support and visited an Apple store with no one able to tell me what is happening. Some said it might be had ware problems. Other say it might be software problems. With vs 7 I never had the problem.. I have anolder ipad with vs 5 and do not have the problems. any feed back from anyone.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Tiger clients will not mount home folder

I'm doing the popular AD/OD integration (AFP548.com AD/OD v 2.1). Home folders will not auto mount.
Authentication is working, single sign-on does not work, users have to login again when manually mounting the Users share on the XServe.
Home folders are created in advance with a script using cp and chown. Directory Access is checked to get user home folder from Active Directory, localhome is diabled, protocol is afp.
Sometimes a test user will mount, 99% of logins create local folder. There is a funny log that says cannot log /var/...user id is over 100000.
It doesn't help that I'm ignorant on troubleshooting these issues.
I'm not finding similar enough issues previously posted that could give me an idea of how to fix.

Went with mobile accounts and having them sync at login/logout.

My phone will not turn on after upgrade

I did not complete the OS7 upgrade this weekend and my phone battey died last night after it died the phone goes to screen asking to plugin into Itunes which I do and nothing happens. I went to Verizon and they could not restart it either and it is out of warranty It is iphone 4. Any suggestions please

You need the latest version of iTunes on your computer to connect iOS 7 to it.
Here's some advice that may help:
you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

My iPad 2 will not update apps after upgrading to the new ios

MMy apps will not update nor can I install new apps. Anyone have a solution?

Um are you logged in and connected to the internet?

My iPad2 will not play videos after I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1. How can I fix it?at?, My iPad2 will not play videos afteri upgraded to IOS 5.1.1. How cani ix that?

I have an ipad2. Ever since I upgraded to the IOS 5.5.1 I am having problems playing videos on Netflix or YouTube. I do to have this problem on my laptop, so it isn't in my wireless router. I have cleaned out the cache on the iPad and that didn't help. I've restarted it too.
I hope someone has an idea how to fix it. I'm lost without it now.
Thanks.

Do the videos start to play and quit? Do they not start at all?
Close all apps and restart the iPad and then try YouTube or Netflix again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also try resetting/rebooting the iPad and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Even if your the internet is OK with other applications doesn't mean that there isn't an issue with the way that the iPad is connecting to NetFlix and YouTube. You can always try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

LR2.2 will not open catalogue after upgrade

I have been using LR2.2 (OS X - latest, on Unibody MacBook 2.4Ghz) for a few weeks, and found it an improvement. I have put my 1000 Christmas photos on it for the moment, in a temporary catalogue.
I have just tried to open my old LR1.4.1 catalogue, containing about 30,000 images. It appeared to upgrade the catalogue OK, but failed to do a backup (quoting disc space or permissions as possible causes, both of which are untrue as far as I can see). Then it said it could not open because of a problem switching modules.
I have deleted it and tried again a second time, allowing LR2 to create its own new folder for the new cat, but it still doesn't like it.
For a x.2 release, I am rather unimpressed. If I cannot open my old catalogue with all its keywords and collections, there is no point in upgrading to LR2.
Any solutions, or do I just save money and stick with what I have?
best
Nic

I can't be expressing myself very well. LR is completely unable to do anything. It has not frozen: I still have File-Edit-Window-Help menus which pull down immediately. Mouse-rollover of the modules make them change colour, and the double monitor panel actually sort of works.
But apart from that I can't get any response. (Note I have been using LR2.2 with a new catalogue for a few weeks, and have used LR1 from the start, so I know how to use the software, broadly speaking.)
Tab does nothing. And there is no way of getting further than the screen shots I just posted.
I will look into deleting the plist file.

External drive will not mount to desktop

Ok so i just bought a new hard drive and hooked everything up to my imac. However, it will not mount to my desktop.
1. I opened disc utility and i can see that my newly purchased hard drive is listed on the LHS with 931 GB available.
2. I click on the mount button on the top and i get this message- "The disk “disk1s1” could not be mounted. Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting."
3. So now i click on First Aid and attempt to repair disc, however I get this message-"Disk Utility stopped repairing “disk1s1” because the following error was encountered: Filesystem verify or repair failed."
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

how did that solve the issue? my 350gb seagate drive just started behaving the same way as your initial post -- it shows in Disk Utility but will not mount -- even after running disk repair/verify. This just started happening two days ago...
