How do I fix a broken SMB protocol so my Sonos sytem works again?

Hi,
I'm new to this, so bear with me.
I have been running a Sonos Play 3 since June 2013 without any problems. Two days ago I got a messsage on the Sonos Controller software saying;
"Unable to play ‘song name’ - cannot connect to //'my mac'/Music because the server cannot be found"
So I put in a ticket with Sonos Support and they've told me the following;
"The bug is not with Sonos, we see this problem a lot with Macs because SMB is broken. Sonos is able to play your music on your computer because your computer has to share the folder on the network. It does this with with a protocol called SMB.
If you don't want to upgrade I recommend you purchase a NAS(network attached storage) drive and move your music to it and share the NAS drive to Sonos."
I don't really want to run Mavericks because I'm used to Lion.
So my question is this - how to a fix a broken SMB? Can a borken SMB be fixed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, call and get a case number. At least you will not have to pay for the repair if the crack is not "accidental" damage.

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

Have you worked through the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article? If not, see if there is info in there that might help.
Is the WiFi greyed out on all WiFi networks or just the one? If it does this on all then there may be a hardwaer problem that needs attention from the techs at an Apple store genius bar.
Before that, however, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears. That clears a lot of iOS hang ups that occur.

How do I fix my broken Wi-Fi?

I'm getting incredibly tired of my iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.1) not being able to connect to Wi-Fi. Without it, I'm not able to do much, and I've already done most of the suggestions I've seen in the forums such as:
- Reset Network Connections
- Reset the entire phone then restored it
- Reset the phone and set it up as new
with no results.
What happens on my phone is this:
The Wi-Fi circle is permanently blacked out (Unavailable) when I swipe up on my screen. When it isn't, however, it's off, and I click it, it "turns on", but when I swipe down and pull it back up, it's back to off (But "Available"). I then try to go to settings and the Wi-Fi'll either say "Not Connected" or "Off" and whenever I click on it, it freezes and I have to do the power + home button reset. Sometimes, I'll be able to get into the Wi-Fi tab and my access point'll appear, but it'll say it can't connect. I've read that I might just have a burnt out Wi-Fi chip or something, but all I know is I'm leaning closer and closer to the blowdryer and freezer method I keep hearing works.
Thanks for any tips!

Try one if the "far out" approaches. There is apparently a hardware problem with your iPhone. You might get lucky.
How long these "fixes" continue to work is unknown.

How do I fix error code 150:30. "photoshop license stopped working"????

All of the sudden when I was trying to open AI I got a screen with "Illustrator Licensing for this product has stopped working", and error code: 150:30 how do I fix this?
I am on MAC OS X 10.9.4 and Illustrator and Photoshop CS4.
Thank you for your help!

This is the one step I did not take as I am a bit unsure of where to find the start up disk
On your startup disk, locate and delete the following folder:
[hard drive]/Library/Application Support/FlexNet Publisher/
Important: The path above points to the Library folder at the root of your startup disk, not the Library folder in your user home folder.

How can i fix an ipod whose sleep/wake button is not working?

Ever since I bought my 2nd generation ipod, the sleep/wake button has never worked. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

I looked at the previous discussions and most of them are talking about taking it to the apple service center but that's too expensive for me. i was wondering if there was any other option apart from that.

How do I fix my broken PSE 9 Organiser program?

I'm about ready to scream!
Whenever I open PSE 9 Organiser, it opens to show that it is generating thumbnails and the hourglass is not moving at all. Then if I dare to do anything at all and I do mean anything, it stops responding and I have to shut it down via ctrl-alt-delete or the Windows not responding pop-up window.
So, what have I tried to fix it?
I have updated to SP2 after disabling user account control
I have removed the thumbs.5.cache more than once and then tried to update the thumbnails with no success, as the program just froze on me
I have tried to "repair" the catalog, but the program just freezes as soon as I click on File
I have tried to "optimize" the catalog, but the program just freezes as soon as I click on File
I have also uninstalled and re-installed the program, though without any appreciable difference in performance, (I did not actually search and remove all PSE 9 files, I just made use of the Uninstall feature in Settings)
Now, you may understand my fustration in trying to get this program working as well as it did when I first installed it.
So, could anyone please tell me what I should do to get this program to work as it should?

How do I fix my broken bookmark editing

First off, I have been having disk error problems with Ubuntu, and I think that a file that involves the bookmarks was corrupted. I did remove and reinstall the latest firefox package with Synaptic and apt-get (they do the same thing right?) But I still have this problem: I can not add or modify my bookmarks in the toolbar. I can go to the window to organize my bookmarks but its like nothing is there on the left main view box or the right that shows the bookmarks. If I try to import or restore, it does nothing. Thanks for the help!
