External HD access probs

Hello all,
When I connect my external HD (Iomega 1TB) to my macbook, I can only READ and not WRITE (copy stuff to it).
How can I solve this prob?
Thanks in advance!

The answear is simple - your mac cant read the windows NTFS format, so you got to change the format to Ex-Fat.
You should click the Launchpad icon in the desk bar, and click the Utilities folder and find there the Disk Utility app.
There select your disk and click the eraze tab and select Ex-Fat option.

Flash player requires external internet access?

Hello,
I'm wondering if flash player requires access to the external web to run. I have a machine where external internet access is blocked. When I load my webpage that contains a SWF, Flash player seems to throw the #2032 error and fail.
Can anyone confirm if the Flash player connects to the web during startup? If so, can this be turned off? If not, I'm trying to find what may be causing the famous 2032 error.
Thanks
Udam

You may need to turn off Flash Player update checking. Unfortunately this also needs Internet access (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l).

Setting up MX Record for External email Access

To All,
I'm having trouble getting mail sent from external users to email accounts setup on my internally hosted server.
I have setup my server in a Standard Configuration using the following format for my FQDN:
server.mydomain.com (not real name)
I have checked both Primary Zone and Reverse Zone and both check fine.
I can send and receive email, while connected within my local domain, between users I have setup on my server using the format:
[email protected]
I can send email from inside the network to an outside email account, but cannot receive email from any users outside.
I have POP, IMAP, and SMTP ports (110, 143, and 25, respectively) all forwarded to my server thru my AEBS.
Consulting the setup guides, I have found these references to editing the MX record to allow for external email access using the [email protected] format:
+"If you don’t want to use your server’s fully qualified DNS name for users’ email addresses, the+
+DNS service must also include an MX record for your server. For example, if your server’s DNS+
+name is myserver.example.com and you want to have email addresses like [email protected],+
+the DNS service needs an MX record for your server."+....from the Installation and Setup Worksheet, page 15.
also
+"If you want users to be able to send and receive mail over the Internet, make sure DNS+
+service is set up with the appropriate MX records for Mail service:+
+A. If you have an ISP that provides DNS service to your network, contact the ISP and+
+have the ISP set up MX records for you. Your ISP needs to know your mail server’s+
+DNS name (such as mail.example.com) and your server’s IP address."+...from the Mail Service Admin page 22.
My question is...how does the MX record need to be set up?
Like this?
10 @ mydomain.com
Thanks for your help,
Steve

Camelot,
Thanks for replying.
1) What format do you want your users' email address in? (e.g. [email protected], >[email protected], [email protected], etc.)
I want my users to have a [email protected] email address.
I set up an A record as you suggested:
mail.mydomain.com A 1.2.3.4
My MX record was setup:
mydomain.com 10 mail.mydomain.com
However, I am still getting returned email from outside users. They are getting the following error:
+This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification+
+Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:+
[email protected]
+Technical details of permanent failure:+
+Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied (state 14).+
Checking the Server Logs for IMAP I am getting these errors:
+Jan 21 12:11:34 server imap[44121]: AOD: user opts: get attributes for user: user failed with error: -14479+
+Jan 21 12:25:18 server imap[44236]: AOD: user opts: get attributes for user: user failed with error: -14479+

+Jan 21 12:32:49 server imap[44499]: AOD: crypt authentication error: authentication failed for user: username (-14090)+
+Jan 21 12:37:06 server imap[44598]: AOD: user opts: get attributes for user: user failed with error: -14479+
+Jan 21 12:49:39 server imap[44520]: AOD: user opts: get attributes for user: user failed with error: -14479+
+Jan 21 13:01:51 server imap[45049]: AOD: user opts: get attributes for user: user failed with error: -14479+
+Jan 21 13:11:58 server imap[385]: AOD: user opts: get attributes for user: user failed with error: -14479+
When I try and use an online MX Record checker to check the MX record, it says the mail.mydomain.com record is invalid.
It's not until I change my MX record back to:
+@ 10 mydomain.com+
will the MX record show valid.
Network Utility scans show the following with the MX record set to @ 10 mydomain.com:
++; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2 <<>> mydomain.com mx +multiline +nocomments +nocmd +noquestion +nostats search+
++;; global options: printcmd++
++wekrugs.com. 3600 IN SOA server.mydomain.com. admin.mydomain.com. (++

++ 3600 ; retry (1 hour)++
++ 604800 ; expire (1 week)++
++ 3600 ; minimum (1 hour)++
++ )++
If I have it set up the way you suggested, the Network Utility and MX Checker reports that the NameServers don't respond to the entered MX record name.
Thanks again for your help,
Steve

Exchange certificates and services setup for internal and external clients access on separate domains.

I have the following on my local network.
Server DomainA -> Small Business server 2003/Exchange 2003
Server DomainB -> Windows 2008 R2/Exchange 2013
Clients Domain A -> Windows XP/Outlook 2003
Clients Domain B -> Windows 7/Outlook 2007/2010
Problem: I want clients from DomainA to log into Exchange on DomainB on the same local network.
I need to know how to setup the DNS on both domains and the certificates on the DomainB Exchange server
to accept the connection from the PC on domainA. All connections from clients on domainB to server on domainB
work correctly but when adding accounts to Outlook 2003/2007 on domainA clients I am getting certificate errors.
I have purchased certificates for mail.domainb.com and autodiscover.domainb.com but I dont know how to get
the clients on domainA to recognize those external URL's of the exchange server (with the certificates bound to them) from the internal network. Hence I get domain errors.
I am getting issues when a client on DomainA tries to add an Outlook mail profile to connect to the Exchange on DomainB
Any suggestions on how to set this up?
thanks

Domain A & Domain B are two separate AD Forests?
Users in Domain A either need mailbox-enabled user accounts that are in DomainB or a linked mailbox in Domain B to utilise the Exchange Server in DomainB. In either case with the help of the autodiscover service user can use the services in ExchangeB.
If the client machines are member of domainA and you are trying to access ExchangeB you will then need to leverage a custom XML file for autodiscover and force the Outlook client to use this file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Autodiscover xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/responseschema/2006">
<Response xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/outlook/responseschema/2006a">
<Account>
<AccountType>email</AccountType>
<Action>redirectUrl</Action>
<RedirectUrl>https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml</RedirectUrl>
</Account>
</Response>
</Autodiscover>
Then you need to configure the client machine to query that XML file by adding the following registry key:
Refer to XML file
for Outlook 2007:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Autodiscover
for Outlook 2010:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Autodiscover
STRING_value <your_namespace> = path to XML file
you can find more information in the following link.

Want to Move iTunes library to external drive & access from home & work

I want to move my Windows iTunes library to my new external drive and be able to access my music library from my work computer and my home computer. I have read some discussions here about move libraries and I have some concerns:
1. What is the best solution to the problems people reported about iTunes Helper changing the drive letter back to C: if they booted the computer without the external drive connected?
2. Can I buy music and make playlists from both computers and not run into problems?
3. Any other advice to avoid gotchas?
Thanks,
Mark

If the drive is formatted NTFS, the Mc will not write to it. You need a driver installed to write to NTFS.
Or refomrat the drive to FAT32/MSDOS and it'll work fine.
If you have the entire iTunes folder on the external, connect it to your Mac, hold Option, launch iTunes and select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
Note that the iTunes versions need to be the same between computers.

External disk access privileges

I got some VERY bad advice on access privileges and I am now unable to access my external firewire disk. I added my user id to the root of my boot disk and did an apply to all subfolders. I was trying to protect my data, but the disk now disapeared from my desktop. I run the Disk program and it shows the external disk but it doesnt mount it so I can not access it to change the privileges. I get "you can't open the folder because you don't have sufficient access privileges.
Is there any way to fix this? I have done a repair permissions on my boot disk.
Thaank you
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.11)

It happens a very spooky thing, by trying for the N time to check the disk (with the disk program), it suddenly reapear at the desktop... i was very upset, dont know what have I done lastly, but allas, its now healled. I hope it will keep this way otherwise i'll be back here
Sorry to bother you guys, thank you so much for all the links and the patiente!
(Thanx God I dont have to deal with that DOSlike terminal). At least I learn a good lesson, rookies should never mess with volumes's privileges...
my best kind regards!

External storage access

I have a Macbook Pro and i also have an external hard drive at home. I'm trying to figure out how i can access my files on the hard drive from the road. The hard drive is wired into a router and the only computer hard wired into the router is my mothers PC. I've heard that there is a way to simply change settings in my File Sharring to access it. Is this true? How can i access my files?

Hello DeeKey,
I have EA6500 with two USB connections which i have attached 2 WD hard drives. I have downloaded and app called Hip/Play to access the storage remotely even if i am not connected to my home network.
check out the app on this link:

Project Online External User Access

Hello,
I'm testing the Project Online Preview and I would like to share the deliverables list on a project site with an external user (a client for example); so I configured the site collection with Project Web App to the "Allow
external users who accept sharing invitations and sign in as authenticated users" option. Then I tried to share the list with an external e-mail with a Microsoft account, but the invitation email was not sent.
External Sharing on SharePoint admin Center is configured on "Allow both external users who accept sharing invitations and anonymous guest links"
and my PWA site works in S"harePoint Permission Mode".
The same procedure on a classic SharePoint site collection work perfectly.
Any suggestions, please?
Matteo

Hello,
I got some of the external users to work. I am still trying to sort it out, but thought I will give you what I found.
The external user that I got work was another user in another domain, but the account was separate domain in a Office365. I have not been successful so far with an external account, that was not part of the Office
365.
Here is what I did to get it to work.
1) Login into an Office 365 account. Let's call it OFFICE999.
2) Then paste the link from my PWA site into browser.
3) Access was denied, but page provide me a link to Request Access
4) Then jump to my Office 365 account with PWA. Went to the PWA site and click on Settings icon and then site settings.
5) click on "Access request and Invitation"
6) under the Pending request, approved user and put the user as "Project Web APp Visitor"
7) Jump back to the Office999 and read my email, click on the link.
8) I got access denied again
9) When back to Office 365 PWA Admin account and added user to PWA users
10) went back to Office999 account, refreshed the screen and get access to PWA site,
11) BUT it says account doesn't have a LICENSE. So I am at that point trying to find out how to give an external user a license.

WIN2008R2: No external network access from Hyper-V guest using Virtual Machine Bus - Legacy ok

Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 Hyper-V host
HP DL370 G6, HP NC375i integrated Quad Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter
Static IP (.11), internet connection via a Cisco switch and PIX firewall
External virtual network connected to port 1, allowing management OS to share the network adapter
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 guest
Static IP (.21) on the same subnet, same subnet mask and default gateway (.1) as host
* with Virtual Machine Bus network adapter:
- host can ping guest (.21), switch (.5), and has internet access
- guest can ping host (.11), but cannot ping switch (.5) and has no internet access.
- network map shows the guest and host connected via a hub (Microsoft virtual switch), connected to a gateway, then a red X between gateway and internet
* with Legacy network adapter:
- host can ping guest (.21), switch (.5), and has internet access
- guest can ping host (.11), switch (.5) and has internet access.
- network map shows the guest and host connected via a hub (Microsoft virtual switch), connected to a gateway, and no red X between gateway and internet
I installed Hyper-V before adding the HP network drivers (there's a known problem if you install Hyper-V after adding the network drivers), so that's not it.
This happens both with straight network adapters, and also when two are configured as a network team - no difference.
I don't want to use the Legacy network adapter as the performance is terrible, but right now I have no choice as otherwise I can't get network or internet access from the guest.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Please refer to the following post to see whether you can resolve the issue.
Network Adapter (not Legacy) does not work on Virtual Machine after installation through ISO

By the way, did you only encounter this issue with one VM or all VMs? Please do the same test on VMs with other version of Windows such as Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003.

External System accessing BI DB

Hi,
We are on BI 7.0 and we have a requirement for an external non SAP system to access the BI DB to fetch data out of an ODS. I have read about the Open Hub Services of BI, but it doesnt really explain how an External System can open a ODBC connection to access the BI DB. Any suggestions would be helpful....

I can't offer a lot of deep insite, but in order to open data for ODBC access, you need to build a query on top of the object and release it for ODBO (third tab in the query property window). Then, the ODBC connection should be able to view the query.
Another thing to note, reading data from SAP into another non-SAP system has some license impacts. You will want to verify with your account manager that you are able to legally do this.

InfoView External Web Access

I'm new here and new to CR 2008 aswell...
We setup a couple months ago CR2008 Server, a very painfully thing to implement with AD and single singupu2026
Internally everything works, but now we have an issue setting up a web access logon for external access.
When typing the address (www.mydomain.com:8082/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp) itu2019s giving me this u201CUnable to logon to InfoView. Please contact your system administrator for assistance. Please close your browser before continuing.u201D and some other as well.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thx
Hugo

We have a similar issue where any VPN users always hit the error page 'Unable to logon to Infoview'. I understand that this might happen as they are not authenticated with a Windows DC when they hit the logon.jsp page.
However, I don't understand why the URL "...InfoViewApp/logon.jsp?sso=false" also returns exactly the same error and doesn't simply show the logon page with username, password and Authentication type. This seems strange.
Our version is 3.0.

External drive access via network

I have two computers connected via wired network
When i first upgraded to leopard, i could access external hard drives connected to one computer from the other computer, now the drives do not appear, even though i have specified them as shared folders.
any ideas?

ctsurg—
having the same problem. apple seems to be clueless as to why this 10.5.1 has a problem accessing external drives that are networked via hub by a rj-45 connector. i manage a small outfit an have another mac that runs 10.4.11 the networked external storage drive shows up fine. when i've tried to connect to the external from 10.5.1 no such luck. what is interesting is that 10.5.1 may connect or may not depending on the day. when it does connect it's buggy. it may show up 2 or 3 hours later under the shared option in the left column or the shared column will not show up at all. my next step is to return to 10.4.11.

No external network access from virtual machine

Hello:
I'm configuring a Windows Server 2012 Standard with Hyper-V and want to share a network card so that both the virtual machine and the host access a LAN using the same wire.
HOST SYSTEM:
OS: Windows Server 2012 Standard
IP: 192.168.50.1
VIRTUAL MACHINE: Windows XP
IP: 192.168.50.4
PHYSICAL SWITCH (CISCO):
IP: 192.168.50.6
I've configured an external virtual switch, assigned to it a physical card and activated the sharing between host and virtual machine.
With this configuration:
ping from HOST to VM and viceversa: OK
ping from HOST to REAL SWITCH: OK
ping from VM to REAL SWITCH: FAIL
If I configure the network card to work exclusively with the VM, it can access the external switch from the VM, but I lose any connection with the host.
I could solve the problem installing another physical card and using one for the host and one for the VM, but I can't get both working with the same card, even though they are in the same subnet, see each other, share files between VM and host... I'm not
trying to connect to the internet.
Any idea? Thanks.

Hello again,
Sorry for the delay.
After system update, the problem has not been solved. The external switches do not limit the number of MACs, so this is not the problem either.
After updating the system I deleted the virtual switch and created it again. I also rebooted the VM and even the server. It just doesn't share the access: only the VM or the server can access to the net at the same time, even if both see each other all the
time (server and VM).
Apart from that, every time I delete the virtual switch and create a new one, I reconfigure the VM as well (I delete the network card at the VM and create it again). When I do that I have to assign an IP address to the network card in the VM (no DHCP
installed, so this is normal), but I can use the same IP I was using before deleting the virtual switch. When I do so, a message appears saying the IP is used in a virtual network adapter, but this is hidden because it is not in use anymore. I haven't found
a way to see and delete these hidden network adapters either.
I think I'll install VMWare, because Hyper-V is more a problem than a solution.

BI Launchpad external Client access

Hi All,
We are using Crystal reports Enterprise server, and most of the reports are developed using command objects, We want to give access to the external clients to access their reports through the launch pad, How can it be done?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Santhosh,
If there are more reports: Create Enterprise user (or map your existing AD users to Enterprise) and give them 'View on demand rights' on crystal reports.
If there less reports 5-10: You can send users OpenDocument link.
Hope this information helps.

USB External Drive Access and Spinning Beachball Crash

Over the last month that I have had my MacBook, the machine has experienced five spinning beachball crashes forcing me to manually power it down. First, the application I'm using freezes with the spinning beachball. Then, progressively other apps on the machine also lock up, where cmd-opt-esc and Dock-based force quitting do not respond. Eventually, the whole machine locks up, forcing me to hold down the power button to reboot.
I have been trying to figure out the pattern. It has happened once in OpenOffice.org, three times in TeXShop and once in Safari. I think the pattern across the five episodes is that the machine was trying to access my external USB hard drive to save a file (saving an already-open document in OpenOffice.org and TeXShop and printing a web page to a PDF document in Safari).
The drive is a Lacie 60GB USB drive, formatted AppleHFS, MacOS extended (journaled). Verification with the Disk Utility checks out fine, and I have in fact recently reformatted it to make sure.
I think the crashing problem is also related to this Console message, which recurs periodically:
Jul 3 10:26:21 MK-MBCD kernel[0]: jnl: flushing fs disk buffer returned 0x5
I use the drive with my iMac G5 as well, where I have experienced no similar problems.
I would appreciate any feedback on how to troubleshoot this problem.
MacBook Core Duo / iMac G5 (iSight) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thank you for your reply!
The Lacie drive did come with a second USB cable to provide additional power. I don't know how you feel about those as opposed to power adaptors to provide additional power. The USB power cable is at my work, so I will have to wait until I go in to grab it and try.
For now, I've done what Lacie support told me to do. From my description they suspected data corruption. So, I have reformatted the drive. In the process, I have turned off the journaling on the drive. That appears to have at least stopped the repeated console message about journaling failure.
Have you heard if MacBooks' USB ports are more underpowered than PowerBook G4s'? I use the same Lacie drive with my PowerBook with no additional power without any problems until I got the MacBook...
Thank you again for your help!
