Imac mac os 10.6.7 samba network issues

I am having an odd problem with the samba networking. Everything was ok yesterday but now my Win 2k3 server cant be accessed. When I click on my aliases. I can see all items but clicking on them gives me -1401 error usually twice the application cant be opened. Also same number with the operation cant be completed. So when I goto connect to server and try to connect there I get connect to smb server stalls moves but doesn't error or anything. If I try to run a program like word and look in my alias its blank. Also when actually going to the server it does likt my user as connected. IS there any fix without rebooting.

I think it is due to the Java update that either comes with 10.6.7 or was released just before 10.6.7 so is probably included in the 10.6.7 update anyway
Try this
Open Java Preferences (use spotlight to find it)
Check what version of Java your computer is using for both the options it should be "Java SE 6 64bit" at the top of both lists  click it and then click options and what is the version number 1.6.0_15, 64bit (this version works)
if you have version 1.6.0_24 i have found it wont work
I had this happen with 10.6.6 with the java update and ended up reinstalling the whole server as i thought it was something else causing the problem I have since not installed the java update from reading some info on the filemaker site and then still haven't installed 10.6.7 in case.
Not sure how you can backdate the java version perhaps check the sun website (or is it oracle now) to see if you can install an older version
Whatever version is at the top of the list will be used so if you can drag an older version to the top and then restart you should be fine.

  • IMac running 10.9 not rebooting after network issues

    This is weird, and while I am going through Apple's Knowledgebase steps - so far without success - I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else experienced a similar issue.
    I was having network issues (or what I think/thought were network issues) for about a week. The symptoms looked like high packet loss, i.e. websites would simply not load reliably: sometimes not load at all, sometimes load partially. This started with some smaller websites and eventually it failed to load google and facebook. It took me some time to notice that  other devices on the same WiFi did not have this issue, so yesterday I decided to reboot my iMac. Network diagnostics didn't show any issue and I was able to connect to the WiFi router just fine, just not find any websites, so I thought a reboot may fix it.
    I have not been able to boot it back up since. It stalls at the grey loading screen with Apple logo and a spinning wheel for ever (I've let it sit for hours). Safe boot does not work, and starting in Verbose mode hangs at "executing fsck_hfs" and it doesn't seem to do anything else. I've booted from the install disc (actually a USB drive) and ran Disk Utility from there, but it showed not disk errors at all. It did repair a handful of permissions (I only saw iBooks related stuff and something about etc/apache2/users), apparently successfully, but it's still not booting.
    Disconnecting my external Time Machine drive and unplugging the iMac from my surge protector didn't help, either. I am now creating a new image from the partition just to have an additional backup on top of my Time Machine, and I'm going to try Archive and Install next, which is the next to last step in the Knowledgebase.
    I do have two partitions on the Mac (one 10.9 and the other 10.7), by the way, and booting into the older partition seemed to work right away. It's just that I don't have any use for that other partition right now, it's a leftover from back when I migrated to Mavericks.
    I am baffled how all of this connects together. Network issues, boot up failure without apparent disk issues? Has anyone else seen anything like this?

    I am still working on restoring my iMac with 10.9.
    I've cloned the affected partition. I used Disk Utility and it Restored without apparent unto an external drive. So I tried booting from that drive, but I get the same result as booting from the partition directly. Not a major surprise I guess since this is supposed to be an identical copy.
    I have also created a dmg image out of the partition, and I was able to open that on my MBP without problems! All the files seem to be there. It seems to be something specific with the, uh,  boot sector or, uh, something?
    Next, I booted into Single User mode and ran fsck -fy. The Knowledgebase says it's okay to do it if Safe Mode doesn't work, right? The first time it ran, I got conflicting results. It said both
    ** The volume appears to be OK
    **THE VOLUME WAS MODIFIED**
    The Knowledgebase seems to suggest that it should only say one or the other?
    Running it again, it said
    ** The volume appears to be OK
    Alas, rebooting it still doesn't work, it continues hanging at the Apple logo.

  • Mac os x Lion and serious networking issues.

    Hello,
    First of I'd like to say that I've been on mac for a few years so I know my way around it, I'm pretty tech savvy. I've had Leopard, Snow Leopard and now I have Lion. Installed it without any issue, everything worked really well till I decided to turn on internet sharing so I could have wifi in my room (Which is useful when you have an iPhone and download apps through wifi) and then the problems started...
    I turn on internet sharing and bang, I no longer have internet on my 2009 iMac. ***? What could be wrong ? I see a ton of people have this issue but no fix, unsure what to do, I really need wireless in my room because I also connect laptops and other pcs. The moment I turn internet sharing on, internet dies without hesitation. I have to go through the networking diagnostic or restart the mac for it to work again, needless to say, without wireless turned on. I have ethernet, so I just plug a cable in the mac and it's done. I don't connect through wireless or something like that. It worked with no issues on Leopard and Snow Leopard, this is clearly a bug in Lion.
    What's to do? maybe someone has any advice, this is a really messed up bug. Please tell me developers that they fix this in 10.7.1, please please.

    Open a terminal window
    sudo ifconfig <interface name> mtu <value>
    so to set your wifi interface with an MTU of 900
    sudo ifconfig en0 mtu 900
    Hope that helps

  • Read posts but still can't resolve my mac/pc networking issues :(

    Hi everyone,
    I'll get right to it. I have a G4 10.4.7 imac which I've had hooked up to Westell Wirespeed dsl modem (allows up to 253 users when networked, Verizon provided modem and dsl service) via ethernet. Yesterday, I bought new a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4074 Notebook. 802.11 a/b/g enabled. Today, I bought a Lynksis Wireless-G broadband router in order to set up a little network.
    Problem - I connected the Lynksis to the Westell modem and my imac to the to one of the four ethernet ports on the back of the Lynksis. I turned on my notebook, for the first time, did the set up wizard for the notebook. Then I did the Lynksis set up wizard for wireless connection to the internet (notebook wireless button was switched to the "on" position). I'm able to get signal on the notebook but I'm not able to completely connect (can't access the internet or web pages).
    AND
    My imac won't connect at all while set up as I described above.
    The Lynksis does describe specifically PC compatibility but not Mac. I didn't think that would matter as I'm connecting the imac via ethernet cable to the Lynksis.
    My limited connection on the notebook also is not a secure connection. I'm limited on my PC knowledge and even though I haven't looked into this issue, I think that should be easy to make secure but I would also appreciate your input on correcting the security of the connection (just in case it's not as easy as I think). The Lynksis has a one touch "secure easy set-up" button on the front of it, but I'm obviously missing something(s) because I don't have a secure connection.
    I'd appreciate your help guy's.
    Thanks.
    Vanessa

    From your description is that you've got both the Westell and the LinkSys acting as a NAT device.
    Since the Westell modem allows you to have up to 253 devices on it's 'internal' network it's clear that it's using NAT (Network Address Translation) to share a single IP address from your ISP amongst those 253 devices.
    Now what you've done is added a LinkSys router into the loop using one of those 253 addresses. The default setup for the LinkSys is to do the same thing - take a single IP address from an upstream device (in this case the Westell modem) and share it amongst another 253 devices using NAT. That's likely to be your problem.
    You would be far better off configuring the LinkSys as a simple bridge rather than a router - that way it simply links the wireless network (including the Toshiba laptop) with the wired network (which includes the Westell, the iMac, and any other devices on the network).
    In this setup the Westell will continue to use NAT and essentially control the network, and everything should work much better.
    Check the LinkSys documentation for details on how to turn on its bridging mode.

  • Can I open an iTunes library running on a mac from a PC over the network?

    I've got an iMac running iTunes with my main library on it and a Vista laptop on the same network, running the latest version of iTunes, with a blank library. Can I open the library on the iMac and use it on the Vista laptop without screwing it up on the iMac?
    I don't want to change, remove, or add anything from the Vista laptop, just use the library. I know I can share the library out from the iMac and that works fine, but I'm running Vista Media Center and want to access my iTunes library from Windows Media Center. There are plug-ins for Windows Media Center that make this happen but they have to be running on a PC with iTunes running.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks

    Assuming you have AVG then yes, a second patch has apparently been released to day which may resolve the issue. See this post for general advice.
    If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't add it to the filename of the renamed file.
    iTunes Library 2012-09-22.itl > iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Library 2012-09-22 > iTunes Library
    My advice has generally been aimed at Windows users, but if you have AVG on a Mac and that too suffers from this issue then it is worth nothing that at one point the iTunes Library on a Mac was stored without any extension. If you match the name of the empty library file you are replacing it should work.

  • IMac and Macbook Pro Networking Issue

    Just recently both of my Macs have developed a wierd networking issue.  I am sharing folders on my Windows server (WHS), now this odd slow issue appeared when using a file from the server.  It acts like my network is really slow when opening a file, but my windows machines work fine on it.
    I have not made any changes to the server, I am running a Gigabit Cisco network (not linksys) in my home and this thing has got me stumped.  I installed an anti-virus on the iMac and it found nothing.  Either wired or Wireless I see the same results but only related to the Mac's..... does anyone have an idea what might be doing this?  I am kinda a Mac noob in most aspects so I am looking for any help here.

    It very well could be the antivirus app, most are intrusive and debilitate rather than enhance performance and should be removed using the developers instructions. You haven't really told us anything useful such as any settting you may have changed. However if you began working backwards resetting any changes and uninstalling the apps added since the performance issue started then you probably will find your issue. 

  • Networked Macs Not Always Showing Up In Network In Finder - On One Mac

    The problem is that awake and running networked macs do not always show up in Network on the Finder. Sometimes they do and sometimes they do not. The problem happens fequently on one machine. Very similar questions have been posted on this. I suspect many are dancing around the same issue. I am hoping to get to the bottom of this.
    All the OS X machines are running 10.4.9. Two are networked by Airport. The Airport and the problem iMac, an older G3, are wired to a LAN. On the LAN sits a PPC 7200 running OS9 IpNetRouter serving up IP addresses for all the connected devices, including printers. IpNetRouter also provides an internet connection out through a second ethernet card. The PPC 7200 drive is always reliably available for connecting to in the Finder.
    Each of the OS X machines are set for Personal File Sharing only, with Firewall running, and without Stealth Mode enabled.
    The problem is noticed on the wired Mac. Perhaps that is the key to this. The problem is not two way. The Finder on the wireless Macs shows the wired Mac in Network when the wired Mac is not showing the wireless Mac. Sometimes only one of the wireless Macs shows on the wired Mac. When that happens it is always the wireless eMac instead of the wireless Intel Mac.
    When this problem occurs, it is always possible to connect to the "missing" wireless Macs by using their local IP address reported by IpNetRouter. It is not possible to do the same using the computer name of the Mac that should be visible in Network or by using its DHCP client ID.

    No Macs are sleeping, but they might have been in the past. They don't show up when they are sleeping. These machines are often on for days. All are updated on a regular basis, including in the past two days.

  • IMac can not see Windows machine on network

    Hi guys,
    Before the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can connect and share with my Windows machine. However, after installing the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can not see my Windows machine work-group anymore. How to fix this problem ?
    Im using 20' iMac running on Mac OS X 10.4.8
    Please help.

    If reinstalling the current update doesn't work, perhaps that is because the update was completed properly, but in the process has messed up configuration settings files and preferences. If you can't find any problems in your settings through System Preferences, then there are probably hidden errors in the .plist files and the way to correct that is by manually wiping out all your network settings files and redoing everything in Network preferences may be a quicker fix than brain surgery. Try deleting these files, then reboot and redo your network settings appropriately..
    These are all in the folder /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.apple.nat.plist
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    preferences.plist
    Note, this will wipe out all network-related settings, and force the OS to rebuild default preference settings files for the built-in network devices. This is sometimes the only thing that will clear up bizarre networking issues, but generally speaking, it works well.. just don't forget to thoroughly note all your proper network settings including wireless network passwords and all that before you perform this house cleaning for reference as a precaution.

  • IMac shows up 10 times on my network

    Hello,
    I updated to OS X Yosemite yesterday(and I love it), but I have been plagued with an issue. Recently, another mac on our network tried to view my iMac's screen using the built in screen sharing, but it failed. Upon further inspection, we found that it was not the Screen Sharing program's error, but my mac had shown up on the network about 10 times. I even see my mac 8 times in my own network menu:
    And see it as "[Name] iMac i3 (10):
    I'm sorry I can't provide any more information, but we already tried reasigning the IPs with no avail. Any ideas?

  • Stop iMac from seeing Windows machines on wireless network

    Here's a conundrum!
    Brand new iMacs from 10.5.8 - all see Windows XP machines in the shared panel on the finder windows. We need to turn this off as the new macs are on a school network. They need to be on the wireless for internet, but they can't see the office machines for obvious reasons. The sharing is turned off on the Macs and Bonjour is disabled on the windows machines so why can we still see and access the windows computers. Can anyone tell me how to stop our macs seeing the windows machines. The
    windows machines still need to be on the network btw as the office needs to have the two windows machines connected to each other. The macs dont need to see any computers so how do i turn it off.

    Our solution was to have a separate students' network with its own wireless hubs.
    In our school we have a server configured to keep the office and the students' networks separate.
    We then have wireless hubs for students and wireless hubs for staff.
    In this way the computers are not on the same network, and this should also make it more difficult.
    for students to hack into admin computers.
    You should be thankful that this iMac made you realized how vulnerable your networked XP computers actually are, and that, at this point, they are still visible to hackers.

  • How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

    How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

    Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

  • Mac G5 Disappears on my home network

    I have a annoying problem that I am struggling to solve
    I have an old PowerMac G5 (1.6ghz PowerPC) running leopard, which has a huge hard disk so it is used as a dumping ground for everything digital. I wanted to be able to get this onto my home network so I could use it as a master iTunes collection, as well as being able to access files from my MacBook Pro (2.26 Ghz Intel)
    My home network also has a Windows 7 PC which has a printer attached which I would like to be able to print over the network, but thats a different problem
    My problem is this, the G5 didn't have a wireless card and can not be connected via Ethernet due to the distance it is from the router. So to get online I bought a dongle online....
    This>>http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130334850512&ssPageName=STR K:MEWNX:IT#ht4206wt907
    Plugged it in, followed the instructions which involved disabling all my network options (Firewire, Ethernet and Internal Modem) and using this USB Ethernet solely
    This works a treat, and finally I have my old power horse online! Great, but the two macs (as well as the Windows PC) struggle to see each other - sometimes I can see the G5 on my Shared list, and have even managed to transfer files from one to the other. However to get this to work, I had to first open iTunes and enable home sharing. This at first worked perfectly, but now it just stops after about 5 mins, if it works at all. My MacBookPro is now showing up on the G5 in shared, but with the blue screen of death showing! So it thinks my MBP is a PC, wont see the PC at all and cant be found from my MBP at all
    I dont know what to do to solve this problem, its annoying because it HAS worked, but then just stopped and now is temperamental at best, impossible most of the time. iTunes home share has to be restarted all the time, it wont see my iPhone as a remote at all (works perfectly on the Windows 7 PC... grrrr)
    I dont know where to start to fix it really, all my sharing options are set to open and sharing on both Macs and I have restarted the router, Macs etc etc a million times hoping it would just 'work' like I expected it too!
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Bankos, and a warm welcome to the forums!
