I'm trying to access a Mac OSX xserve's shared folder from a windows xp pc

So I'm trying to access the Shared Folders on a Mac OSX Xserve Server. this server does not provide authentication or home folders, etc. Pretty much using it for network storage. I've been able to successfuly connect to the folders using Windows 7, but the Windows XP computers will not connect. I keep getting a "You might not have permission to this folder" etc dialog box popup.
This is my method of connection. Start -> Run -> \\1.1.1.1 -> Enter. I see the folders. I double click on the folder icon to access the folder, i get a login dialog box. On the Windows 7 machine I typed in my LOCAL MACHINE'S username and password. Success! On the XP machine, I do the exact same thing and receive the error.
please Help!
the Macs on my network (96% of users) have absolutely no problem connecting to the server using ⌘K in Finder

Try mapping the drive as normal and then see what happens.
\\1.1.1.1\Share Name

Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

I have tried and failed to copy my iTunes library and playlists from my Windows 8 desktop to my Windows 7 laptop using an external hard drive. Can it be done? Help would be appreciated.

Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

[HELP!] Can't access shared folder from Azure Web Role on same Azure Virtual Network

I have an Azure Virtual Network that has a virtual machine acting like an app server running some legacy applications that is writing some files to a folder that is shared.
This shared folder is accessible from other virtual machines within that virtual network without issue.
The problem I am having is that I have an Azure Web Role that is also attached to the above
Azure Virtual Network that is unable to access the shared folder. I know the web role can see the app server as it is able to ping the IP of the machine.
There is some code that needs access to the shared folder to process some of the files that is stored there, but the code won't run because it can not access these files. I used Remote Desktop to see if I could ping the machine, and I can, but I cannot navigate
to the path in file explorer due to access being denied.
Can anyone offer any advice or tips to point me in the right direction to gain access to this shared folder from my Azure Web Role?

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your posting!
Form your descirpiton, I suggest you can refer to Tom Zhang's solution via this
link:
1. Enable Remote Desktop. (You have done this step)
    2. RDP to one instance of your service. Open up IIS Manager and set the application pool identity to use the account that we used for RDP.
    3. On on-premise local machine, right click "My Computer' and select "Manage". Add a new account with the same account name and password as we specified for Remote Desktop.
    4. Give the new account necessary permissions to write file to the shared folder. (I think you have done this step too)
    5. Try running the code again and see if it works.
    6. If it still says "access to path <folder path located on local machine> is denied". Please check the permission of the shared folder again.
    7. If it works, then the next step is to configure the application pool identity using Startup Task instead of using Remote Desktop (See the suggestion inhttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazuresecurity/thread/247ba75e-87d9-497c-9ec6-1fd4e2c7ff90).
But I still recommend you enable Remote Desktop for your web role to check if the Startup Task has successfully configured the application pool identity or not.

Will

Upgrading my work PC is NOT an option, but I'd like my Mac to be able to recognise the attachment for what it is
Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Mail Format tab.
3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...

I Have mac osx 10.5.8 and have tried to update to mac osx snow leopard 10.6.3, but I constantly get the install failed message. What could be the problem?

My imac is currently running mac os x 10.5.8. I've tried to install mac osx snow leopard 10.6.3, but have been unsuccesful because the disc fails to install.
What could be the problem?

noondaywitch wrote:
You should boot from the Installer DVD by holding down the C key during start up until the Apple logo and spinning cog wheel appears. Allow plenty of time for the installer to appear - it can take several minutes when booting from a disc.
I suggest not doing this unless the Apple recommended method (starting by double-clicking on the
Install Mac OS X icon while booted up normally) fails.
There are several reasons for this:
The Apple method performs a check of the DVD's integrity before starting up from it. This can't be done if you start up directly from the DVD.
The Apple method "phones home" using the current OS's network settings to check for updates to the incompatible items database included on the DVD & writes a lot of pre-install data (the 'Mac OS X Install Data' stuff) to the HD before restarting automatically from the DVD to finish the installation. This may not work as expected if you start up directly from the DVD.
The pre-install data on the HD speeds up the installation process (because running the OS from the HD to build the data is faster than doing that while running from a DVD).
The Apple method makes it possible to "gracefully" cancel the installation before the automatic restart occurs without leaving the existing OS on the HD in a corrupted, "half-installed" state unable to restart the Mac. This sometimes happens if the installation process hangs & one has to force-restart the Mac to recover. As long as this occurs during the "pre-install phase" before the restart, the existing OS should remain untouched & intact.
Also note that the Snow Leopard installer is quite a bit more sophisticated than the previous ones like for Leopard or Tiger. It automatically performs the equivalent of Disk Utility's Verify Disk step before beginning the installation & performs more checks during the installation process (including checking the pre-install data for errors). It is usually not necessary to remove the "Mac OS X Install Data" folder after a failed installation, which may just cause the process to take longer on subsequent attempts, but if nothing else helps it is certainly something worth trying.

Help! Trying to access a share disk with file sharing- problems

I have limited knowledge of file sharing, keychain access, and Macs in general.
My school uses the Mac OS 9's for our schoolwide "Accerated Reader" program (a common program for schools accross the US).
I am unable to get the 4th grade class room's Mac computer to access the share disk "AR Folder," which means that the Accerated Reader program won't work in this particular classroom.
I go to "Keychain Access." The infor I get for "kind" is "Apple Share password." I go to "Unlock Keychain: AR Computer," and I type in the correct password. I click "unlock". The next window shows "Keychain: "AR COMPUTER" on disk "MACINTOSH HD" 2 items. My choices are "AR Main Lab" and "AR Main Server." When I click on both (one at a time), and on the next window, when I click "go there" the following error message appears:
:An error has occurred. Unable to go to this item's location. An operating system (-5016) occurred."
What can I do from here on? WHat could be wrong? Help me troubleshoot!
Thanks!

Hello sylves,
First..many people may be hesitant to help answer your posts as it deals with a school and security issues and passwords. It is not too good to mispell "accelerated". This could indicate someone trying to get into an area they don't have permission to access.
I offer sevreal ideas.
1. Perhaps you could explain your position in school.
2. - Ask the tech people at school for assistance. I know this can be had at times. I work in a school with all PC's and only a few Macs so they are not quite up to fixing our mac problems.
3. - post more info as to if these computers are able to use internet or are they just going to the school server etc.
I post this as ideas how to get more help and not disrespectfully.....Jim

I can't print CS5 files from my Mac OSX (Mavericks). Can print from other applications. Help please?

I can't print CS5 files from my Mac OSX (Mavericks). CS5 crashes when sent to print. Can print from other applications (Word, etc.).

I just tried installing them. I got the message that "Some updates failed to install" (including for CS5), to quit and try again. I was curious and tried again to print and lo and behold, I could print! I'm still nervous that not everything installed and wonder how to get a complete install.

Does iCloud save voicemail messages from my iphone 5 when I back up? More specifically I am trying to access messages that were in my deleted folder at the time I last saved, that have since been cleared.

Does iCloud save voicemail messages from my iphone 5 when I back up? More specifically, I am trying to access messages from my now deceased father that were in my deleted voicemail folder at the time I last saved, that have since been cleared.

The iCloud backup includes visual voicemail messages. I'm not sure if it includes the deleted ones or not, but I would assume it does.

Archive creates empty MAC OSX folders and second folder with documents...

I have been sending .zip documents to customers for some time. I archive using the ctrl + click method (choosing CREATE ARCHIVE...)
Customers have been saying that they can't find the files, that the folders are empty. I didn't know what they were talking about...until I archived a folder, transfered it to a LACIE external hard drive on the Ethernet network, decompressed it and saw what they were talking about! What is that MAC OSX folder? Why does CREATE ARCHIVE create 2 folders with the document in one of them? I frankly don't get it. The external drive we have is a LaCie Mini 250 MB formatted in ext 3 (Linux?) before it was formatted HFS+ but it created problems and the LaCie technicians suggested that we format the disk in Ext 3 (Ext 3, 13 35, I don't quite remember). The disk was originally formatted in Fat32 (Windows) which didn't work (filenames, unable to copy or delete, etc).
Is CREATE ARCHIVE the problem? or is it network disks which are PC disks or PC-originally-intended disks?

Hi, Louis. Welcome to the Discussions.
See my post here and the related comments concerning Create Archive in that topic. I believe that will help you understand what's happening.
Good luck!

Clone a Mac Partition to an External Drive from within Windows 7 Bootcamp?

Anyone know if it is possible to clone the mac os x partition to an external drive from within Windows 7 bootcamp? I (like a few others) had a problem with the latest 10.6.3 update and I cannot boot into the mac partition but I can access it via bootcamp so I was thinking about trying to clone it to an external drive and then boot from the new clone and see if that works.
Appreciate your comments.

setup a 30GB partition on an external drive, along with a partition of 150% the size of your Mac OS X volume -- or larger.
Install OS X to 30GB.
While booted from DVD, before you install, you'll need to go to Utility Menu => Disk Utility to do the partitoning. While there, in DU see if you can repair your system.
And where is your TimeMachine or clone backup? The "Step #1: Backup before beginning your Boot Camp project."?
No way to backup or clone from within Windows, though you may be able to write to NTFS backup volume, UNLESS you bought MacDrive8 which allows read AND write to HFS+ from within Windows.

Can't access a USB Drive connected to Time Capsule from a Windows PC. Apple Care can't/won't assist. HELP!!!

Trying to get my Windows 7 PC to access the USB Drive that is connected to my Time Capsule. I have a Fat32 Formatted USB drive connected to a 2TB Time Capsule and I'm trying to get access to that drive from a Windows 7 PC. I've attempted to map the network drive (based on some 3-4 year old articles I could find online) but any time I access a file from the PC, the Time Capsule "freaks out" and disconnects all connections to it which forces me to unplug it to restart the Tim Capsule. I'm at a loss now as to what to do.
Spent a few hours talking to Apple about this and much more. Apple Care can't or won't help with this particular problem (the guy I talked to, as nice and helpful as he wanted to be, had no experience supporting their hardware in a Windows environment).
Someone has to know how to fix this so, PLEASE, help if you can!

First off, Archon23, what you want to achieve is possible. I have access to both my Time Capsule (TC) and the USB drive connected to it, from a Win. 7 and Win. XP machine.
Here is what I see from the Windows side of things:
     From My Computer - TC USB Drive (Y)
     From Windows HomeNet - Time Capsule:
Now getting there is the trick.
One caveat before proceeding: I am not well versed in Windows Networks, Windows Sharing and Firewall settings so some of the following may not be elegant, may not be absolutely required, and may not be the best way of getting there. But it is what I did to see both the TC drive and it's attached USB drive on the Windows side of my network..
1.) First, I added Airport Utility to the Inbound rules of Win 7 Firewall
While poking around my Network Sharing and Firewall settings trying to figure this out, I got a Pop-up recommending I do that. AND I did that. Oh, and while you are at it, make sure you have a Home network established.
2.) Next, on a hunch, I installed a USB Wi-Fi Adapter (under $20) to my Win PC, enabled that Wi-Fi connection and disabled my Ethernet connection. I was getting no where on this matter with my Ethernet connection to a DSL Gateway. But with a Wi-Fi connection to my AirPort Express Base Station, I made progress.
3.) Finally, while poking around my Network Sharing Center some more, one by one I started the various network device Setup Wizards in there, and Trouble Shooters, to find the elusive TC/USB devices in question...AND voila, it worked.   And it's stable, been this way for going on two weeks now.
Good luck.

Cannot access OS X 10.7 sharing folder from Windows OS

Since we need to scan documents from copier, and those files will be saved to User's computer sharing folder directly.
For those users who are using OS X 10.6, share 'scan-files'
At Windows XP, net view \\computer-ip-address.
Can show the share name below. So the scanning is successful.
Share Name                           Type
Judy's Public Folder                       Disk             Judy's Public Folder

scan-files                                      Disk             scan-files
For those users who are using OS X 10.7.2 or 10.7.3, share 'scan-files' (These users upgraded their OS to 10.7 recently)
At Windows XP, net view \\computer-ip-address.
"System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied." error message is appearred. So can't scan file from copier to their computer directly.
No matter how I try and do the same setting with OS X 10.6 on 10.7 compputer. Net view command from XP is still failed.
It's only happen on OS X 10.7. Anyone can help? Thanks much.
