Enter Machine Password DNS Update Failed on Mac Pro 10.6.6

Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory with several PCs and 3 MACs, all three at 10.6.6.
Only one, the Mac Pro, is slow to access network resources, gets Enter Machine Password: DNS Update Failed on Console, and is much slower to open webpages than the other 2 MACs; they work fine. I know that AD is configured right since I have no network errors on them.
Can bind and unbind as expected, can access Mac from AD Server as well as other PC/Macs, so this issue is not like most all other posts in that everything works except slow network (opening a network share gets the spinning wait cursor).
Any Ideas?
TIA

On the offending Mac open System Preferences->Network pane and highlight the port that you are connecting to the domain. Then in the right side of the pane click on the word "Advanced". In that drop-down select the DNS tab and make sure it has the same DNS that the domain uses. You can use thew + button to add the correct DNS servers. Also while in the Network pane, Advanced, select the WINS tab and fill it the appropriate settings for the Windows Domain.
Also on the offending Mac open System Preferences->Date & Time and make sure the Map Location is correct and also you are using the same Time server that the Domain uses (you can type in the Time Server address in the Time Server field.
Lastly are you using DHCP or Static in your Domain?

  • More details about message with code 31 (DNS update failed) in DHCP log file.

    Hello,
    Is there any way in Windows Server 2008 R2 to identify which exactly update has failed in DNS when code 31 is encountered.
    It is for "A" record or "PTR" record of DNS ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Andrejs

    Hello Steven,
    Thanks for your answer. I will look at DNS event logs.
    I am asking about it because in DHCP server log time to time I can see blocks of following records:

    For this VLAN DHCP is about to update both „A” and „PTR” RRs. Besides that I can that transactionID (2255794051) is the same.
    Does it mean that first 3 records are about let’s say “A” RR for which update has failed and last 3 records are for “PTR” RR for which update succeeded?
    Or, does it mean that these are two consecutive attempts to update both RRs where first attempt failed but second one succeeded?

  • HT1222 I was trying to run ITunes 10.7 update on my Mac Pro with Retina display but the message appeared "An error has occurred" so I can proceed with the update. I dont' see any other messages. Any ideas what could go wrong?

    I was trying to run ITunes 10.7 update on my Mac Pro with Retina dispaly but "An error has occurred" and I was not able to proceed with the update. The message says "The operation was cancelled. (3072)." I have no other messages. Any ideas why I cannot install this update

    Scott's solution fixed the problem.  It would have been helpful if the update message in the App Store had reported that.  I had first tried B Noir's solution -- and received a helpful warning message that a guest user was still logged in to iTunes.  I switched over, logged the guest user out, switched back and the update within the App store worked perfectly.
    It seems to me that Apple should invest a little time and effort in making their error/warning messages easier to decipher.  I have to come to the forum every time something happens.  Why not simply have a dialogue window that opens up to explain the most likely issues?

  • HT3275 I encrypted my WD elements SE external hard drive with Time Machine and now everytime i enter my password it shuts downs my mac book pro. I contacted WD and they say its an issue with Time Machine?

    Any advice?

    Hi, I tried your advice and it tells me the external drive is ok, and the ERASE section is grey, probably because I encrypted the disk!?!
    Still the same issue: every time I enter my password to access the external hard drive, it restarts the macbook and I get a screen that says: the computer restarted because of a problem... so frustrating!
    Any other ideas?

  • Photoshop Updates fail on Mac

    I have remained current with Photoshop and the related apps for about 15 years.  Also with Lightroom since it was first released.  Initially on Windows, and on Mac for about the past 8 years.  Never an update issue.

  • My iPad2 keeps asking me to enter my password after updating to iOS5.1

    Hello,
    I can't find the answer to this after lots of searching and it's driving me crazy!
    My iPad2 keeps reverting back to the Lock screen and asks me to enter my password. This happens whilst in the middle of using apps, especially ones that involve video. This only started this week when it was updated to iOS5.1. When I sign back in, it is just on my Home screen and the app has shut down. When I go back into the app it isn't at the point that it forced me to leave it.
    It is not technically my iPad and as a result I've got to have certain settings on it - I've got to have a password of at least 8 characters and I'm not allowed to reset the whole thing. I can't turn those settings off.
    I have tried a restart by pressing the lock and home buttons at the same time, but that hasn't worked.
    Is it possible to just go back to using iOS5? Or is there another way of fixing it?
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    I don't know of a way to lock out of Settings. However, go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Although you cannot restrict settings, there are some other things that you can restrict, like app purchases, etc. Basically, what this will do is require a 4-digit passcode SEPARATE from the one used to unlock the iPad. No one can use features that you have chosen to restrict without knowing the password.

  • Security Update 2008-007; Mac pro; Leopard=lost internal HD

    I just said yes to the security update 2008-007 on my Mac Pro, running Leopard (10.5.5). On restart, my internal 500GB Western Digital Hard Drive does not mount. This is the second time this has happened. About a month ago, after installing a security update (probably 2008-006 but I don't remember), that drive crashed, failed, would not mount. Western Digital replaced it. I don't use Time Machine but I do back up to external firewire drives. It took me a couple of weeks to tediously re-set-up my new WD 500GB like the old one. All was well until I just ran the Security Update 2008-007. On restart, the new WD500 is gone.
    I am now looking at the various updates. I see there are ones for servers, for clients, and for Leopard. Is it possible one or the other is the right or wron one? Is there a way to tell what exactly happened?
    To say the east, this is big time annoying and has left me very hesitant about accepting Apple's update recommendations.
    Any help? Thanks

    Yeah. I agree it's a stretch. So too did the Apple "specialist." He agreed it's unusual but felt that indeed I got two WD hard drives in a row that failed. He suggested they sent me a refurbished one after the first one crashed. On the phone with Western Digital, they didn't argue at all and the tech guy said, "they will ship me a better drive." Nice, huh? better than what? And why not better the first time. Anyway, they are honoring this as they did the first one. But my confidence in WD drives has dropped. And, in spite of the unlikliness of Apple updates causing the problem, I'm leery there as well.
    Thanks for the tip on a method for updating. I'll follow it.

  • Multiple external drives failed on Mac Pro. Any idea why?

    This is the third drive that has failed since I was assigned this Mac Pro at work a few weeks ago, and the drive was purchased less than a week ago. The other two were older drives.
    They would suddenly stop being readable. Sometimes there was a problem ejecting the drive before it stopped becomeing readable (message would say the drive couldn't be ejected because another program is using it, when there were no programs open). One of them eventually mounted again and I recovered some of the files (but some files weren't readable when I tried to copy them). But that was just luck as they all seem now to be consistently unreadable. When I plug them in I get the message: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"... same if I plug it into a different computer.
    And when I try to repair, it shows this: http://i.imgur.com/ivK9d.png
    Any idea what would cause this? When it happed to the second drive, I just thought it was a fluke... but now a third, brand new drive? Something about the computer must be causing it.

    The first two were WD and the third was Seagate - all in their own enclosures. They MIGHT have been plugged into the same FW800
    So we're talking different vendors, different enclosures -- but likely the same bus, possibly even the same port, and different hosts (Mac Pro and MacBook).
    Very difficult to say at this point, because two different computers are actually involved and you're not sure how and which is involved. The problem does sound like a hardware issue -- but, if it is, is it the FW controller on the MBP or on the MP? I can't tell.
    Your pic shows DU can't fix the drive, but can it re-format the drive? (If the drive is FW/USB hybrid, try USB if FW doesn't work.) If yes, the error might be hardware or software; if no, the problem is likely hardware.
    Although it's difficult, you must keep track of what drive is connected to what machine and on which port, otherwise you'll only fix this by being lucky. Also, check if you have on either Mac software which might interfere with disk writing. Of course, I assume you always eject the ext'l drives properly before you disconnect them physically.

  • Updating your older Mac Pro for a few more years of good use...

    Hello everyone, I wanted to share my tips for getting your aging Mac Pro running better for Mavericks and the FCPX 10.1.
    Please note your Mac Pro's specs before doing what did..I am an editor and use the 3 big A's to get my work done. Adobe, Apple, Avid (not so much Avid)
    I got a great deal on it for only $1300. I did a bunch of research and decided my upgrade options were best for my machine and the way I use it so your upgrade options my differ slightly. (do your research!!!)
    I have 2009 Nehelem Mac Pro 2x 2.66 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.  Installed was 6GBs of factory RAM, an upgraded ATI 512 GPU, and 1,  1TB WD Black system drive. (this was a nice upgrade compared to my 4 core Mac Pro)
    I was running 10.8 and all my apps were installed and running. I installed 3 more 7200rpm drives to fill the drive bays. Momentus XT's 2TB each.
    (I upgraded to Mavericks, as  you know it overwirtes the old OS, I wanted the new FCPX...) more on this later.
    1- RAM,
    I removed the puny 6GBs of RAM it came with and installed 32GBs of 1066 Mhz DDR3 from OWC. I decided 32 would be enough for my needs looking into the App requirments and of course the cost. I noticed a slight difference in some performance. (to my dissapointment) fcpx beachballs!!
    However now you will have more RAM to allocate RAM for programs that can read it. After Effects anyone...
    link- http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1066-memory
    2-GPU,
    I had a 5770 sitting in the closet, and put that in and bascilly it sucked!   I never like the 5770.  fcpx beachballs!!
    I contacted apple they informed me FCPX is written for GPUs and that a large card (while they didnt suppport it at the time) would be the best upgrade to better performance. So I installed the AMD Sappire 7950 3GB GPU from OWC. This is a monster card! and right away I noticed a huge difference in the perfromace of FCPX and AE! Not only that but the card supports up to 2K I believe... and is a great price... and for you gear heads it looks bad *** and the fan is super quiet!
    less fcpx beachballs
    link-http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sapphire/100352MAC/
    3- Hardrive,
    Ok so now I'm thinking my machine is a beast! I have all this RAM and a huge GPU and the top ESATA drives you can buy, butI was still getting beachballs and FCPX was painfully slow at times..needless to say I felt Apple backing my in a corner to drink more coolaid a get the new small round black can...What to do???
    As I mentioned before I did not do a clean install....Most folks dont like going through the pain of 2 days to do a clean install but I knew deep down it would have ot be done. Before I did that I decided to do some research on those new SSD cards everyone is raging about. Remeber your Mac Pro's bus speed is only so big...remember this when doing this last and most important upgrade!!
    The market has all kinds of SSD drives for sale and OWC has a PCIe option (too much money for me) they have 3G drives 6G drives and so on. I could be wrong but buying a more expensive 6G card is a waste of money with bus speed of the Nehelem (this my differ with Westmere) I bought an of the self Kingston Hyper X 120GB (get at least 240GB if you can) and the OWC Mac Pro Drive Sled.
    This by far was the best upgrade! Before installation please go through the pain of the clean install...For Mavericks you need to create a bootable drive on a USB stick first. You then need to monut SSD in an empty enclosure in order to get it to mount for the OS to be installed

    PCIe Expansions
    H.264 Encoding-
    Matrox Compress HD PCIe card, This card is amazing however it does not support Compressor 4.1 but it does support legecy Compressor 3 and I did successfully install both Apps in Mavericks. (You must hide legecy versions in a folder in applications)
    ESATA CARD-  4 Port 6G Caldigit esata card.
    USB 3.0- Newertech 2 port USB3.0 Mac Pro Card. I dont recommend buying this card. Mac Pro Nehelem, was not made for USB3.0 and the drives I plug into it rarely mount...if ever mount... restart...when they do its a little faster than firewire and close to my Esata options. Dont bother....
    I have setup my drive structure as follow.
    Drive Bay 1 All System Apps run on the SSD drive.
    Drive bay 2 hold the contents of all the Media for my projects.
    Drive bay 3 hold all the AutoSaves and the FCPX Libaries and daily Project backups and renders.
    Drive bay 4 Is Special Effects drive.
    Dual Samsung 27 inch HD displays
    M_Audio Monitors
    1-3TB Caldigit RAID
    12-TBs of drives attached to every port on the back.
    2_USB docking ports voyager s3 for archive drives.
    Now that I have all these upgrades, a clean install, fresh updates to my softwares, my Mac Pro runs better that ever! My boot ups time is twice as fast as before and my OS is very snappy...Oh yeah FCPX, After Effects, Boris RED, Mail, Safari all open at the same time a running brilliantly!
    Many of us are not ready to upgrade to the new Mac Pro, and as we all know the legecy Mac Pro was built like a tank with military grade proccessors and endless upgrade options. It wont ever be as fast as that new black can but I know I will be working faster with my trusty Mac!
    Good luck!

  • 9.1.2 Update Fails in Acrobat Pro 9

    I am running a standalone version of Acrobat Pro 9 on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.5.8. I am trying to update Acrobat Pro 9 from 9.1.1 to 9.1.2 without success. I have had problems with EVERY SINGLE update from 9.0.0 whether from help>check for update OR from a direct download from Adobe.
    When attempting to install 9.1.2 I receive the following message:
    The patch has failed because the application has been modified since it was originally installed (for example, plug-ins may have been disabled). Please go to the Adobe support website for more information regarding how to re-enable disabled components prior to installing the patch.  Or, you can uninstall and reinstall the application, and then reinstall the patch.
    The console log has the following messages:

    I decided to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of a more up-to-date version of Acrobat Pro 9 from the Adobe site, but the uninstaller claims Adobe Acrobat Pro.app is an invalid file.
    I've read countless messages online with similar stories and I find it incredible that there are so few solutions to all of these problems.
    Contrary to my nature, I am hopeful someone can help.
    Thanks.
    P.S. - it's hard not to be sympathetic to Apple's latest contretemps with Adobe Flash...

    graffiti, KamakuraKid, phillip -
    thanks for all the tips - unfortunately none of the suggestions worked.
    i first deleted the AUMProduct.aup file - the update failed.
    i hoped a new admin account would do the trick, but was surprised to again encounter the "The patch has failed..." error.
    as far as the python errors in console, i don't have these.
    as a last resort i ran the uninstaller program, but it does not think Adobe Acrobat Pro.app is a valid program file!
    i'd drag it to the waste basket, but am sure some piece left hanging somewhere would come back to haunt me.
    not sure what to do now...

  • 10.9.1 update bricked my mac pro

    Running a 2008 MacPro 3,1 with Mavericks installed and the 10.9.1 update puts the machine into a reboot loop.
    Machine is a stock configuration except for a 240GB OWC Mercury E2 PCI-Express SSD, (which is encrypted and PW-protected).
    When the machine starts, I get a gray screen with the Apple logo, and a dark gray progress bar.  When progress bar is complete, the machine shuts off completely.  Turn it back on and the same thing happens.
    I had restored from a Carbon Copy Clone backup (10.9, also encrypted and PW-protected) and that worked, except when I returned from vacation, the machine re-applied the 10.9.1 and I am stuck in the loop again.
    How to fix this?

    Okay....After many hours of trying this and that to fix this issue I think I have some answers. First, it wasn't the update that broke things (my apologies to Apple). I tried the combo update and that seemed to work until I reinstalled a DSP card (UA UAD-2 audio processing card) along with the Nvidia Geforce GT610 video card I had been using. Then the same problem cropped up again. The computer wouldn't boot. I returned the OS to 10.9.1 and tried again. Same problem. What I finally figured out was that it's my KVM switch causing the whole mess. Both monitors work fine when hooked up directly to the Mac but when I insert the KVM switch the system will boot the first time but not if I shut it down and restart it. I've had this KVM for years and it worked okay with my G4, G5 and PC hooked up to it but for some reason it will not work with the Mac Pro in the configuration I have it now. The only other thing I haven't tried yet is having both monitors hooked up via DVI to VGA adapters and then trying to use the KVM again. Right now one monitor is hooked via DVI and the other is hooked via DVI to VGA adapter. The computer doesn't seem to have a problem with this. Actually this might be a problem with the KVM, DSP card and the aftermarket graphics card combination but everything works normally with out this KVM in the mix.
    So would a new KVM fix this? I need the VGA output on the KVM because my PC only has a VGA output and the graphics chip is built into the motherboard. I'd rather not install a new graphics card on the PC and get a DVI KVM if I can help it.

  • Time Machine turns itself on after my Mac Pro wakes from sleep (every time)

    Hi,
    I have a 2009 Mac Pro and it currently has Lion on it (10.7.4), but the problem I am about to explain started when the machine was running Snow Leopard, so it doesn't appear to be an OS-specific issue.
    I do not currently use Time Machine, I use Carbon Copy Cloner and some online backup solutions to handle backups. I did use Time Machine for a short time on this machine just after it was introduced, but I didn't end up using it for long and the external drive I used for the backups is no longer in service.
    The problem is this:
    I have Time Machine off and I have all of my drives (I have 4 drives in my Mac and an external drive) set not to be backed up for good measure. Time Machine will stay off like it should except in one instance. If I put my machine to sleep, when my Mac wakes, Time Machine is instantly turned on and I get a warning telling me no backup drive has been selected and that I should pick one. I go into the Time Machine preferences and turn it off. It will remain off (I've checked the preferences to be sure) until the next time the machine is put to sleep. Time Machine will remain off, even through reboots. It is only waking from sleep that causes this.
    I've tried zapping the PRAM, getting rid of the Time Machine preferences and even logging into a new, unused user account and testing it from there and the problem continues. This is really starting to annoy me. I wouldn't mind having TM on, but having to click through the warning every time my Mac wakes from sleep is frustrating.
    I don't want to have to buy a new external hard drive and let TM backup to the drive because, as I said, I've got my backup solutions handled already and I'm not willing to put yet more money to use a feature I don't need right now.
    I've done searches online and asked around and no one has been able to help me yet. So I thought I'd try here.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Do you see a wake reason in Applications>Utilities>Console?

  • Sign-in fails on Mac Pro

    I tried the Messages Beta and it works fine on my MacBook Pro. However, on my Mac Pro it does not allow me to sign in with iMessage. I always get this error sheet:
    Needless to say I did try a couple of times, but always get the same error.
    Since iMessage works on the MacBook Pro and on my iPhone, I think I can exclude any problems with my Apple ID. The problem should be on my Mac Pro. I also tried with a completely clean account there, but that did not change the result.
    I analyzed the working sign-in process on the MacBook Pro and found that Messages appears to include parts of the FaceTime registration process. It did write to the relevant plists and also added a FaceTime-item to my keychain. On the Mac Pro however, FaceTime cannot work, since there is no camera.
    Could this be the reason why the iMessage sign-in fails? Did anyone get iMessage to work on a camera-less Mac?

    I tried again today and the sign-in worked. So I guess it was a server-side problem after all.

  • When do Boot Camp updates come?  Mac Pro SATA issue driving me NUTS

    I just got a Mac Pro, FINALLY, and after a long wait, I've had to suffer through hours of shoving Windows XP on my Mac Pro with Boot Camp 1.1. After successfully getting it all put on there, the stupid SATA issues are driving me nuts. I tried the slipstreaming fix TWICE, and I have no patience to try it a third.
    Basically, I know 1.1 just came out, but do we know when the next update will come that will supposedly fix the SATA issues? How often do updates come for this so we can have a basic window of when the update will come?

    but to expect Apple to support Windows SATA driver issue IMHO is not a fair expectation of Apple
    I disagree… in this case at least. Apple has stated that Boot Camp is a feature of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard and to not have it work correctly, or to its potential, on their flagship product, the Mac Pro, as it were intended then this makes it unacceptable. For Apple's customers and for Apple themselves.
    Apple IS ultimately responsible for having this work out of the box and with standard off the shelf product, which includes the minimum Windoews product (Microsoft Windows XP SP2 at this time).
    Bear in mind that Boot Camp is still in beta so demanding a fix is a little difficult and the the part that I feel is unfair to Apple. While I have stated previously (in another thread) that Apple will fix this issue… they can't not, it appears the reality may be a little more difficult. It is possible that upon the release of Leopard the minimum system requirements on the Mac Pro will be Windows Vista.
    What I find a little odd though is that there are no SATA issues on the rest of the Mac product line.
