Internal domain no longer recognized after 10.4.9 update

I'm using OS X server to host Mac, Winblows and Web servers.
We HAD an internal domain, "Merc-Server", providing access to these services that we could access before I updated and rebooted the server to 10.4.9.
The server is on our local net at 113.128.162.82
After the reboot, it moved to 113.128.162.87
So on another mac, and on Windows, you could type in the following and connect to the server:
http://merc-sever/
afp://Merc-Server/
afp://merc-server/
On windows in search, mercury-server
Now, none of these can be found.
What happened?
Any clue as what I need to do to turn these resources back on?
Argh!
Thanks,

I noted a similar problem (except for the ip change) as well and it threw me for a loop for a while this weekend, but I think I discovered the problem. looking into the named.log in /library/logs, I found items like the following:
17-Mar-2007 16:19:20.173 mydomain.com.zone:25: gc._msdcs.mydomain.com: bad owner name (check-names)
googling a bit I found this link:
http://readlist.com/lists/isc.org/bind9-users/0/621.html
where it is discussed that bind 9.3.x is more restrictive on names. Sure enough, the log line above referenced one of my A entries. This somehow seemed to lead to my domain no longer being locally resolvable as dns simply died. As soon as I edited the offending name, removing the underscore, and everything seems back to normal. Oddly, this had never been a problem. Additionally, this canonical entry had never caused a problem. It was one of several I hand edited into my zone file to make my Windows XP systems happy about single sign-on authentication to both our xServe acting as PDC and our Windows Server 2003 which I didn't want to run directory services on. The SRV records didn't seem to give any problems and so far the XP boxes don't seem to care. I wonder what change there might have been.

  • My Local Adjustment Brushes no longer recognized after LR 4.3 update

    After running 4.3 update, my local adjsutment brushes are no longer recognized and appearing in the Lightroom GUI.  They are all still located under 'Lightroom' folder --> 'Local Adjustment Brushes' folder (nothing has changed and I see all files are still there in Finder), but no matter how many times I've restarted LR, they are not showing up in the GUI.
    Please advise ASAP!!  Thank you

    It's not clear from your initial problem description, but are you talking about local adjustment presets that you have created yourself (i.e. user presets), or are you talking about the standard presets supplied by Lightroom (Burn, Dodge, Soften Skin, etc)?
    If it's the latter, go to Preferences>Presets Tab and click on "Restore Local Adjustment Presets".

  • ITunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update

    iTunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update - I have attempted an un/reinstall - can anyone offer other suggestions?
    I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and am trying to reinstall the 64-bit iTunes from the iTunes website.  I previously have had this working for the last few years with no major issues, the Apple Software Updater has been pestering me for some time so I finally got it to update.  However now iTunes will not start, if I select the icons nothing happens.  There are no iTunes applications running in the background in Task Manager either.
    I look forward to your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    James.

    1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Files

    3.  If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime.  START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.

  • Epson printer driver no longer working after 10.4.11 update

    It seems that my original Epson driver for my Stylus Photo 750 is no longer working after my latest Tiger update. The system does recognise it but shows an exclamation mark behind it and refuses to print with it (the document stays in the waiting line forever). Reinstalling as well as repairing permissions didn´t help. Fortunately the Gimp Epson driver is still working but I have no access to my coloursync profiles with this driver.
    I know that many printer drivers need to be rewritten for Leopard (one of the reasons I didn´t update yet) but it is not understandable why problems happen with a Tiger update.
    Does anyone know a workaround?
    Thanks very much
    Wolfgang

    I just discovered a similar problem. I have an old Epson SC3000 and under 10.4.11 my computer doesn't communicate with the printer. It's an AppleTalk printer, connected via Ethernet. I tried bypassing my network switch and connected it directly to the Mac-- no go. I then rebooted into 10.3.9 and printing works fine.
    I downloaded the driver from Epson and installed it in 10.4.11. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, the machine just hangs-- can't force quit the utility and eventually the Finder even stops responding. It takes a hard reboot to clear up.
    I can't say whether or not printing worked in earlier versions of 10.4. I haven't been using 10.4 for very long, and I rarely use the SC3000.

  • Firewire drive no longer recognized after upgrade?

    having an onset of problems the last 2 weeks.
    first upgraded to 10.4.6 on mac mini 1.42 non-duo, worked a few days than acted weird with apps crashing. had to reinstall from 10.4 disk. seemed ok. repaired permissions, ect. after reinstall (and a subsequent power outage) a firewire drive attached at time was no longer recognized by mac mini or connected imacG3. reinstalled 10.4.2 on mac mini. installer unable to reinstall 10.4.6., I would like to have firewire drive recognized again. when attached to other firewire drive in daisy chain, says device unrecognized, other wise unable to get any info on drive. what to do?

    I am having nearly the exact same issue as you are experiencing. My Western Digital Dual-Option Media Center 160 GB FW HD is going in and out big time. It seems to be there for a time but then conks out. I have to disconnect the power and now the drive seems to be malfunctioning.
    Same story with my LaCie 52x CD Burner. I placed the Disk Warrior CD in there and the computer recognized the disc at first but then spinning beach balls galore!
    This has to be one of the worst updates to an OS X system I can remember. I can only think PowerPC QA testing has gone through the toilet since the Intel move was completed.

    Yeah... I hope apple solves this problem soon. =\
    I use Windows XP instead of Vista...
    This happened to me:
    I plugged my iPod
    Oppened the iTunes, iTunes recognized the iPod with all the songs, album covers, playlists, etc.
    It asked for update. (Download & Instal, ok)
    Finished the update, oppened the iTunes 9.0. Added a new songs but then I realized it didn't recognize the iPod (wich was plugged.)
    I checked on "My computer" and I saw "iPod". Ok.
    When I ejected the iPod it was clean. No musics, no Videos, no playlists. Started on the screen "Select your language".
    I Tried reinstaling the iTunes but whenever I got an older version it said something like "The iTunes can't be started because the iTunes library has been generated by a new version."
    Restarted my PC several times.
    Rebooted the iPod.
    Tried switching USBs.
    NOTHING works.
    Nothing at all.
    even tryed the manage thing on "My Computer".
    If they don't find a way of fixing this bug my iPod Nano is not better than a f**kin' Pendrive... ~.~"
    Hope apple do something...

  • GTX 680 - No longer recognized after power outage, fans on 100%

    As the title says, we had a power outage (not a surge, no breakers were tripped, and surge protector didn't trip either) that lasted about 10 seconds. When I rebooted, my card was no longer recognized, and the fans are spinning at full speed.
    Hopefully there's a fix, as I can't RMA the card any longer (newegg 30 day limit passed, and I can't fork up another $500 for a replacement)
    The card isn't being recognized in my BIOS (and not with any other tool on windows/nix either). It's only drawing about 0.15v according to the BIOS, so I think maybe it's burned out.
    Any ideas? Suggestions?
    Help is appreciated.

    try in another PCI-E slot then, else find a way to test it in another computer
    Tested it in all 3 PCI-e slots. I'll have to figure out a way to rebuild another rig I guess.
    Edit; no way possible to run it in another rig. I don't have the CPU for the old 775 socket board.
    I'm not sure why all my other cards would work (460 GTX, 260 GTX, 8800), but this one is stuck on max fan speed, and can't be detected. I'm pretty much stuck with the idea that the card is dead, and needs to be replaced.

  • Internal HDD no longer detected after Critical Update Windows 8.1

    After installing the critical update that was released on Jan 2015 for Windows 8.1, my internal backup HDD started acting up. First, issues arose when it took an usual amount of time to open any folder. However, after trying a few times I was able to see
    thumbnails and was even able to load a .mov file. Concerned something was failing, I tried to copy a folder with .jpg and .mov to my primary HDD but froze. I rebooted to see if it would resolve the issue but now no thumbnails would display and upon clicking
    a .jpg, I get an 'Invalid File' in red with black background on Picture Viewer. I did a system restore back to the date before the critical update and now my HDD is completely gone from my computer. I tried working with MS tech support where he controlled
    my PC to 'repair system update' which was successful then tried to do 'sfc /scannow' in cmd prompt which detected corrupt files.
    Any suggestions please?

    Hi HarryVeeh,
    Till now no compatible issue about update Jan 2015 and storage device in Windows 8.1 has been reported. And since you mentioned that there is system corrupt files, it might be caused by corruption in boot section area of hard drive.
    Please reconnect your hard drive first and make sure it is visible in BIOS.
    Open Disk Manager and check if you could see your 2nd hard drive, if it is visible try to assign a letter to it.
    Right Click on the Drive > Change Drive Letter and Paths > Choose a letter.
    Once this is done you'll be find your 2nd HDD when you open My Computer.
    If you can't then you'll definitely need to format it.
    Repair your system corruption by using DISM tools:
    To use DISM, make sure you have connected to internet.
    1. Press the Windows Key on your keyboard and X to open up the Power User Tasks Menu
    2. Run Command Prompt as a administrator.
    3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    Wait for this to finish before you continue (approximately 15-20 minutes)
    For more information about DISM tool:

  • External SATA RAID no longer works after 10.5.5 update

    After updating to 10.5.5, my external RAID (Sbox) (RAID 10) is no longer recognized – The SATA card is functioning correctly – I can attach a single external SATA drive without problem – all ROM has been updated (working with Sonnet) and we confirmed the proper operation of the card. When the system is attached to the external RAID (with port replicator in enclosure) the card reports an error (both green and amber steady lights) and no activity on the transfer lights. Worked great under 10.5.4 on PowerMac. Any ideas??

    It seems as though the problems are multiplying. Other programs are acting funny now - I had to force quit iTunes yesterday and then the Finder froze. Keyboard response was nil, so I couldn't Force quit the Finder, so I had to resort to more drastic measures. It took two reboots to get things running again. I'm going to review some other threads to see if there are any clues there, then probably wipe the hard drive and do a clean install if nothing else seems to address the issue.

  • Many Apps are no longer working after webOS 1.4 update! - please help!

    Hi,
    Many of my previously working Palm Pre Apps are no longer working after the webOS 1.4 update.
    Here are the ones that just return a blank/white screen after launching so far:
    SplashID
    Daily Devo
    Daily Light (Love)
    Absolute Fitness (some options no longer work correctly & are returning a white screen and some options are working)
    These are just a few of the Apps that I am having problems with and there are probably many others.  I have also sent emails/posted to forums on the developer sites to advise. Hopefully I will hear something back soon.
    Anyone else experiencing this issue as well with any Apps?
    Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

    SplashID on my Sprint Pre is showing just a blank screen after starting it and entering my password.  I see no update for it in the App Catalog.
    EDIT: Never mind.  It appears that it only did that on the first launch.  I closed it and restarted it, and now the screen in SplashID is correct.

  • Logitech trackball not recognized after 10.5.8 update- LCC 3.1 needed

    Logitech Trackman wireless trackball was not recognized after 10.5.8 upgrade. At re-boot, the "searching for bluetooth mouse" screen appeared, pushing the re-set button on the wireless base and trackball did not solve the problem.
    Had to plug in my Apple mouse (worked immediately), go to the Logitech website and download the latest Logitech Control Center software for Snow Leopard, dated 9/22/09 (version 3.1)
    After install and re-start, Logitech hardware worked perfectly, as before.
    Not sure if it would avoid this issue, but I recommend installing LCC 3.1 before you install the 10.5.8 update. That or be sure you have an Apple mouse on hand.

  • Internal Optical Drive not recognized after trying to Bootcamp

    Around 3 months ago I tried boot camping my Macbook with Windows 7 but it ended up freezing and I had to restart my computer. When the computer had fully restarted I found that a few things had changed. First, I now had a 70 GB partition called BOOTCAMP but it was basically unusable since the Windows 7 OS was never installed in the partition, and second the Optical Drive wasn't recognized by my computer anymore so it won't work at all and the Windows 7 CD is now stuck in there.
    I tried a lot of different ways that I found on the internet to try to eject the CD but nothing has worked. It's not really a huge deal since CDs are starting to become the new floppy disks but it would still be nice to have this working again.
    Also, here's the original post that I made back in December. It never got any replies and somehow got moved but I was never able to see where it got moved because whenever I clicked "discussion" in "Branched to a new discussion." I would get a page that said this - "Unauthorized. Access to this place or content is restricted. If you think this is a mistake, please contact your administrator or the person who directed you here." I know the whole post is pretty long so I have a TLDR; at the end of it and I pretty much summarized the problem again at the top of this whole post.
    Alright so earlier today I decided to Bootcamp my Macbook and install Windows 7 with a 70GB partition. I was using https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2 and http://www.howtogeek.com/186907/how-to-install-windows-on-a-mac-with-boot-camp/ to help guide me through the process. Everything was running smoothly at first...I had a 32GB memory stick that I used to load the support software onto and I had a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit DVD in my disk drive.
    The first problem I ran into was when Bootcamp wanted to download the files onto the memory stick - it wanted me to format the stick. So I went into Disk Utility, clicked on it, went to erase, then formatted it to the same format it was (because it was already FAT) and then it all worked. After getting the support software onto the memory stick the next step was to partition my disk. After doing a TON of research I finally decided that 70GB would be enough for the OS, a game or two, Sony Vegas Pro, and a few small programs. So I dragged the thing to give the new partition 70 GB and pressed install.
    Then, the next problem occurred - a message popped up saying "The USB drive connected to this Mac contains a bootable volume. In order to install Windows 7 from the DVD, the Boot Camp Assistant needs to disable this functionality. No information on the drive will be removed, do you want to continue?" I was hesitant at this point to do anything so I googled it and couldn't find much except this thread - Bootable volume on USB flash drive in boot camp. I decided to try it and press continue since according to the thread it would stop me if there was a problem. Once I did I THINK (I can't remember that it did for sure or not) it dismounted the memory stick, which I remember thinking was okay because I could just unplug it and plug it back in after Windows 7 was installed to install the support software (Also, I NEVER removed the memory stick until after a reboot later on). After that Bootcamp began partitioning my hard drive.
    About an hour later the blue progress bar had actually filled up to at least 99% (but it looked like 100% to me) but Bootcamp still said "Status: Partitioning Disk" so I left it alone for another 1-2 hours. After that I started getting worried and googled how long this process was supposed to take and found out that this step normally only took a few minutes for most people. At this point I started looking up fixes for this but nothing matched my problem since Bootcamp itself wasn't actually frozen (when I clicked and held on the icon it didn't say "Application not responding") so I decided to check to see if the partition had worked. Then, Disk Utility froze like a few seconds after opening it up so I had to force quit that. My next option was to check under "Storage" in "About this mac" so I tried that and it froze as well. While all this was going on I kept checking back to Bootcamp and it never froze.
    Now I was getting extremely worried and with no solutions on Google and no idea what to do I decided to just try and restart my computer and pray to god that it would reboot fine. Luckily, it did...for the most part. After rebooting all my applications seemed to be working fine (I can confirm that Terminal, Disk Utility, System Preferences, System Information, and Safari are all working or at least loading). I also had all my files still on my computer so that was good. Next, I checked Disk Utility to see if the partition had actually worked and it did, or at least it is showing up as "BOOTCAMP" under my main hard drive. Then, I tried using Bootcamp again and this is when I noticed something new - a warning on Bootcamp's first page that wasn't there before, "You need an optical drive to install Windows. Connect an optical drive to your computer. You cannot install Windows with a remote optical drive." I can't guarantee that it wasn't there the first time but I really don't remember it there. After reading that I checked my Desktop for the mounted Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit DVD and it wasn't there. Then, I checked Disk Utility and it wasn't showing up there either. The only things I can see on Disk Utility are my main hard drive with both partitions, my memory stick, and a random dmg file called decryptedFile.dmg (the size of this file is only 15.6mb so I don't think it could be the OS DVD).
    So now I am trying to figure out how to get my computer to recognize that it does have an internal optical drive and that there is a DVD inside of it. I looked around on Google to try to find answers but all the regular options to fix this don't work since the computer itself is not realizing it's there. I don't know if this helps to prove that it doesn't realize this but I checked in System Information -> Hardware -> Disk Burning and it says "No disk burning device was found. If the device is external, make sure it's connected and turned on." And since a "Superdrive" can read disks I'm assuming it can burn them to and would be shown under that. (I don't know that much about computers though so I could easily be wrong)
    Anyways, sorry for the extreme detail that I went into but I wanted to get as much information about what happened as I possibly could. For those of you who don't have time to read all that I'll put a little summary.
    TLDR; Basically, I tried to Bootcamp my Macbook to run Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I ran into a few problems and then Bootcamp wouldn't move on from "Status: Partitioning Disk" so I had to restart my computer. After the restart my Macbook doesn't recognize that it has an internal Superdrive and therefore doesn't realize that there's a Windows 7 Ultimate DVD disk in it. I looked around for answers but none of the simple ones (using key commands on the keyboard and typing something into terminal) worked. Now I'm looking for help to get my computer to realize that it does have a Superdrive inside so I can get the disk out.
    Thanks in advanced! If any more information is required to help please let me know so I can find it. Also, this is a Mid-2010 White Unibody Macbook.

    Hello Michael Dixon2,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to troubleshoot this issue where the optical drive does not accept discs, please follow the steps below.
    Doesn't accept discs
    Be sure to check your disc to make sure it is flat. You can check this by putting the disc upside-down on a flat surface. If the disc is bowed up on any side or in the center, do not use the disc because it might get stuck in the drive. Do not use discs that have anything attached to them or dangling from them (such as "sweeper" or cleaning discs).
    If the drive struggles when you put in a disc or stops part-way, carefully look at the disc for labels that may be interfering. If there aren't any raised labels then try putting the disc in a few more times.
    Try another disc to see if the issue is being caused by a specific disc.
    Make sure you insert the disc far enough for the drive mechanism to activate. You need to insert discs nearly all the way before the drive will activate and pull them in. If you don't completely insert a disc, the drive will reverse and push the disc back out.
    Allow the drive one or two seconds to accept the disc while it is fully inserted.
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    If the drive repeatedly does not accept discs, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
