Finder quits when try to access windows share

Hi all,
One of our G5 with 10.4.4, have a typical trouble.When the user try to access a windows server share, the finder quits.All other users with G5, 10.4.4 has no troubles with accessing the same server.I created a test account with the particular user who has the trouble, and it works fine with the windows server. Any one has an input to this?
Thanks in Advance,
Zac.

Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7

Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7. in my PC i m installed windows8 and used primary and secondary IP. Primary is used for Access my Domain/Internet and secondary IP is used for access my VPN and
there is no internet on VPN. VPN is only used for my Head Office Appication. After i give secondary IP to my windos8/windos7 PC the Active network status changed to private network and not able to acces windows XP machines. Please Advice...

Hi,
This error means that the Network path was not found. Was Windows XP locating in the same network as the secondary IP on Windows 8/7?
Please try the solution below. Use the IP address of the target computer, not the computer name.
1) Find out what the target computer's IP address is. It is desirable to give the target computer a static private IP address, for example, 192.168.1.10, so it does not change. Use the local windows help when sitting in front of the target computer
to do this if you don't know how.
2) When sitting in front of the Windows 7 computer you want to access the target computer from, open Windows Explorer and in the address bar type \\ followed by the target computer's static address, for example,\\192.168.1.10 and hit enter.
If the target computer uses username/password sharing, after a few seconds you will be prompted for credentials. Enter the same username and password employed to log on to the target computer when you are sitting in front of it.
The target computer will be added to the Windows 7 computer's Network list, appearing as an IP address instead of a computer name. Then you can access its shares just as if it were listed by name instead of by number.

My finder quits when accessing my Drobo External Hard Drive iMac Dual Core 24"

My Finder Quits Every time I access my External Drobo 8TB Firewire Drive. I have several other FireWire Drives online with it and have no problem with them. This happened soon after the 10.7.2 update. I have a lot of files on this drive. Could it be the number of files that is causing the problem? Is there a Limit onnumber of folders on the surface of a drive? Please help if you can, I am desperate to preserve my software. But I need to do something soon, Or else I will have to just reformat the drive so I can use it again. I don't really want to do that.
Thanks in advance for any comments or cures.

I had the same problem but only after I upgraded to Lion. I could see the files on my external drive on other Macs using older software. It seems that Lion wasn't seeing old files on the external drive. So we accessed the files on a Mac using Snow Leopard, copied all the files into one new folder on the same external hard drive and now they're there on Lion. Problem solved! I hope this helps

Accessing Windows Shares

There are several windows shares on the network that I have access to through my Macbook Pro. However, when someone adds a file to one of them, I do not see the file right away when I try to access the share. I have tried reconnecting to it multiple times but still do not see the file. The only solution I found that works is 'rebooting', which I should not have to do. Looks like there is some caching going on somewhere. Anyone have ideas on how to get access to the 'latest' files?

Have you tried simply disconnecting from the Windows share and reconnecting? Rebooting may be overkill
The Mac network browser seems to be relatively static or lazy, and often needs a bit of prodding to recognize changes on the other systems, esp. a Windows share.
I would not call it a bug, but it is something to be aware of.
Sometimes the Windows share on my Mac remains in the Finder window long after I have shut down the Windows box.

Why do applications keep force quitting when try to open them?

Mail, microsoft word, chrome, firefox, iPhoto and another apps force quit wheni try to open them. i have run disk utility and onyx many times.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

After installing Mountain Lion finder quits when I open desktop folder - why?

After installing Mountain Lion, finder quits when I open desktop folders. Not all folders.. I does it to new ones.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Windows server 2008 R2 x64 Authentication failure while try to access Windows server 2003 R2

Hello,
I try to access Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard from Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 standard using integrated windows authentication . And because my application tries to read SQL server i'm getting and error that user is not trusted. Then I tried to open a
simple shared folder on 2003 and none of the users is able to do it. Both servers are part of common workgroup in the same IP range. Using domain is not an option. Migrating 2003 to 2008 is not an option either. The specific DB provider I have to use
supports only windows authentication, so creating user into SQL server is not an option too. I have tested many applications and cases which requires/uses windows authentication and non of the manage to connect.
Any help is very welcome because things are urgent!
Authentication failure

That method in workgroup mode may be a problem.

Flash quits when you close the window

Why does Flash CS5 quit when you close the window you were working in? It has to restart every time you close and open a file.

This doesn't seem to be a crashing issue. The program seems to be designed like Windows, wherein the application quits when you close the last open window. This is incredibly annoying and completely unacceptable.

After upgrading to OSX Mavericks Mail App quite when try to open my MS Exchange Mail Messages

After upgrading to OSX 10.9 Mail App quits when try to open my Mail messages. I have a MS Exchange account. I have removed account and installed it again. All messages where downloaded normally but when I just click on a mail the app quits :/

The option key... I've been holding down the command key... No wonder that didn't work. I should really be writing this stuff down!.
Regardless, Downloading and reinstalling iTunes did the trick.
Thank you mende1 & saffron63 for the assist!

Problems accessing windows share folders with iMac joined to the domain

Hi,
Following the Apple Seminar (http://seminars.apple.com/seminarsonline/addamac/apple/index.html?s=300) I've joined an iMac (10.6.2) to a Windows Domain successfully and I can login with my windows account.
The problem arises when I try to mount a share folder. Mac ask me if I want to access as a guest or as a registered user, and it's really weird since the folder belongs to the windows user. It seems like Mac doesn't use the login account to access the share folders...
Regards,

New Mac user, need help accessing windows shares

Hi All,
I have a new MBP 13" and want to be able to easly access shared folder on my PC network. None of the PC's appear under the 'Shared' left menu in the finder, not even my aging eMac.
I have successfully used connect to server and smb the pc name, but this seems to wok once, then when I go to reuse it, i can not access it again. deleting the save server favourite and rebooting works occasionally, however for the most part it is bery hit and miss. My thoery is that if you can access it once, you should be able to again and again.
Obviously none of my pc's have any issues accessing the shares, it is just the mac . I have input the windows workgroup in the WINS section of Network Settings as well as my router ip address.
Can anyone advise how to get the pc's to appear under the shared tab in the finder.
At the moment, I am starting to regret buying the Macbook Pro, and really thought this type of issue would have been sorted out on the Mac side by now. But alas, it seems that I will just use windows 7 on the macbook pro until I can get this sorted. I can't not have access to windows data stores.
Any help will be appreciated. I have tried to resolve this by viewing similar threads, but have not found a reliable solution yet.

Really ... no-one can shed some light on this situation?
Can someone at least recommend a forum where I can get some help.

Smbntefs probelm accessing windows shares

Hello,
I followed the wiki guide about smbnetfs and the output informations after smbnetfs installation. The shares are automatically mounted in /mnt/smbnet and I can see them,
but when i double click a share
(through Thunar - Xfce4) I take the following message:
Failed to open directory "PC_SHARE"
Software caused connection abort
Is the problem caused because of file permissions?
Can anyone tell me in detail what chmod I have to do and where?
Also which files must be in ~/.smb? (and the permissions of that folder)
(At the past I had no problem accessing the shares with the same tool and without conserning about the permissions of that folders)

Have you tried simply disconnecting from the Windows share and reconnecting? Rebooting may be overkill
The Mac network browser seems to be relatively static or lazy, and often needs a bit of prodding to recognize changes on the other systems, esp. a Windows share.

Cannot access windows shares with NTFS junction points

Hi,
I upgraded to Mavericks and now I cannot access Windows shared where the folders are access through NTFS junction points. (NTFS junction points are like symbolic links to files/folders).
Regular shares are working fine and these shares are working on Windows PC's. I also tried before and after on another Mac Mini I have, so is definitatley something to do with upgrading to Mavericks.
Thanks in advance
A.

This is related to Apple's new SMB2 implementation in Mavericks.
Instead of connecting to your Windows share via SMB, connect via CFIS. Note that I had to disconnect from Windows share, restart, and then reconnect with CFIS to get the NTFS junction points to work.
From ZDNet:
You can also try forcing Mavericks to use the older SMB variant, Common Internet File System (CIFS). To do this, simply edit your server connection URL so that it uses CIFS. Use the Finder to choose the "Go" menu and select "Connect to Server..." (or just use command-K) and type "cifs://YourServerName" and hit Return; the server should mount. If it doesn't, try entering the share's designation as well, e.g. "cifs://YourServerName/YourDriveName."
[BE SURE TO RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING FROM SMB SHARES AND BEFORE THE CFIS CONNECT TO MAKE SURE ALL ACCESS THREADS CLOSE!]

Accessing Windows share in ARD

Hi Everyone,
I have ARD 3.2 installed on my macbook and all of my packages are in one of the apple share which is located on our tiger server.
so whenever I need to install a package on any machine then I will just mount that apple share (located on server)and using ARD point to very specific package and install and it works without any problem.
Other day we have relocated our apple packages to one of the windows share (w2k8) and now I can mount that share and read all the packages without any problem but whenever I use ARD and point to new share, I am unable to see anything in that share.
I am not sure if there is compatibility issue between Leopard OS X and Windows Sever 2008?
Any ideas?
Thanks,

When you say you're allowing "IP" through, does this mean you're allowing all TCP and all UDP ports thru? This should be enough to allow a windows drive mapping to occur. TCP42 must be open for WINS registration. Also beware that there's a command that logically puts your VPN tunnel inside, or outside the access-list. In other words, do you trust the traffic in your VPN enough to not require it to pass thru any access lists on the PIX? If you've got TCP and UDP wide open, and still not able to map, using \\10.10.10.10\sharename, check to see if the VPN traffic is / is not moving thru an access list.

[solved]Dolphin crashes when trying to access network shares

When attempting to access shared folders using dophin (on my other Windows box -> smb://10.0.1.6) it crashes abruptly... I recently upgraded to KDE 4.6.2. Before that it was working fine (4.6.1). I haven't installed gdb or nothing yet so I can't paste crash dumps.
It only crashes after successful login/when attempting to list shares. Works in konqueror without problems.
Name : kdebase-dolphin
Version : 4.6.2-1
Anyone else getting this?
Edit:
This bug has silently gone away after updating to latest kernel (2.6.38). I use pcman now anyways.
