Leopard 10.5.7 - setting SMB server - can't browse to folders from a XP PC

i'm trying to get my mac to share the itunes folders to a XP PC.
I've setup a user for sharing only. then setup in sharing to share only the "iTunes music" folder and the in options said SMB only. I have not said user level sharing!
checked the WINS and its ok, i can see the machine on XP but.....
when i try to connect from a XP PC, i am asked to enter username/password - i say guest and "blank" and get rejected!
I've read LOADS of forums, and i'm getting nowhere. please help

Open Sharing System prefpane.
Check 'File Sharing' checkbox.
Click the '+' button under 'Shared Folders'.
Select the folder to share.
Click the '+' button under 'Users'.
Select the User and set the permissions for that user.
Leave the user selected and click the 'Options' button.
Check the 'Share files and folders using SMB'.
Check the checkbox next to the username and enter the user's password when prompted.
Click 'Done'.
On your XP box, Click 'Start' > 'Run' then type \\<ipaddressofyourmac>\nameofsharedfolder.
Enter the username and password when prompted.
Once you have successfully logged in to the Mac the path that you entered will remain in the 'Start' > 'Run' dialog unless you have your profile set to clear network histories.
If you wish to browse all the shared folders on the Mac simply use the IP address and omit the trailing backslash and name of the shared folder. A window will open and show you all the shares available for the user. You can then right-click-drag-drop any of the icons for the shares to your desktop and 'Create Shortcut Here...'. That way you only have to double-click on them and authenticate without having to browse for the shares.
You can mount the share from within 'MyComputer' by using 'Tools' > 'Map Network Drive...' and selecting the drive letter and entering \\<ipaddressofyourmac>\nameofsharedfolder into the 'Folder' field. Check the 'Reconnect at logon' checkbox if you want that to happen. Select 'Connect using a different username.' if you need use a different username on your Mac.

  • Switches have a VTP Mode set to "server" can I set them to "Transparent" on a live network?

    Currently our cisco 2960 switches at location "B" have a VTP Mode set to “server” I want to change this to “Transparent”
    They have VLAN1-default (active) 10.1.10.81; VLAN2-patron(active) 192.168.10.2; VLAN3-vlan0003(suspended) no ipaddress; VLAN4-vlan0004(suspended) 192.168.20.2
    I want to delete VLAN3 and VLAN4
    The connection between loc "A" and "B" is set to “Static Access VLAN1” I need to change it to “Trunk Nonnegotiate Vlan all” for our vlan2 at loc "B" to work.
    Reason for this change, when I added these switches to our network about 6 months ago it brought my network down, Knowing what I know now I think they wrote their settings to all the other switches that were vtp server switches on our network, VLAN3 and 4 were set to active at that time.

    Switching from server to transparent vtp mode will not disrupt your network, the existing vlans will still be available, modifications however will need to be executed manually on the transparent mode switches.
    If the interfaces between location A and B are configured as access ports, VTP will not work as it is only in effect on trunk links.
    Before adding switches to an existing VTP domain, best practise is to configure transparent mode to set the revision number to 0. This way the VLAN database of existing switches will not be altered when connecting the switch.

  • CAN'T SEE SHARED FOLDERS FROM THE PC ON MY MAC SINCE  SNOW LEOPARD UPGRADE

    HELP! Ever since I've installed Snow Leopard on my iMac, I don't see my folders I selected for sharing from the Microsoft PC computer in my network anymore. I can't seem to locate anything. However the PC is able to see the folders from my iMac. If anyone has solutions to this problem, your help would greatly be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Pat

    Your problem is probably the same one I described in my thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2133962&tstart=0
    The problem in my case, seems to be that the SL mac is not setting itself as the master browser, so when a Windows PC is switched on, it doesn't update that computer in the finder sidebar.
    You can see if this is the case, by opening terminal, and typing:
    nmblookup -M -- -
    If it comes back with "name_query failed to find name _MSBROWSE_#01" then you've got the same problem as me. With Leopard, my mac would report back as the master browser.
    It's got nothing to do with the firewall (I've tried turning mine off ,to no avail). Also, my workgroup is correct, and smb sharing is turned on for the user.

  • Can't get mail folders from IMAP server, why?

    I set up my IMAP mail server, but i only see the inbox and not the other mail folders in the in the mail server.
    why can i get my other mail folders from ther server?
    Ram

    Allan - Here's the other odd thing. Currently, I have my old mail account AND my new MM account both feeding into and out of Outlook. But since adding my MM acct. - even though I set it as my default mail acct. - the hierarchy tree of Outlook folders is still treating my old acct. as king and my new MM acct. as second class. I know, what's that mean? I have my overriding "Personal Folders" folder, with the sub-folders (in addition to customized ones I added) - all of these at the same level - 'Deleted Items'; 'Inbox' (for my old account); 'Junk E-mail'; 'RSS Feeds'; 'Sent Items' and "Search Folders". Then, below that, but at the same hierarchy level as "Personal Folders", I have my MM's root of an IMAP store folder that has as its name my email address, including the "@me.com". Under that, at the same level of importance as my 'Deleted Items', etc. for my old account is my MM account's "Inbox", "Junk E-mail", "Sent" (which, like I said, I created when I sent the first email from my newly created MM account), and "Search Folders"... that's it. If I delete an email from my MM acct., or am in the process of creating an email in my MM acct., I can only find it in the aforementioned "Deleted Items" or "Draft" folders, as my MM acct. doesn't have these. Is this perhaps one indicator of my sent mail synching problem? Or does one have nothing to do with the other? Does Outlook only provide one each of "Drafts", "Deleted Items" and "Outbox" that all accounts share?

  • Mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password from active directory recently after we upgraded to windows 2008 server.

    after upgraded to windows 2008 server, our  mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password anymore. How can I re-bind the wiki server to the AD again? thanks in advance.

    Solved it by deleting the user and creating a new one with the same userID.
    Maybe it occured because I marked the "user has to change password after first login" box when resetting the password but didn't yet allow him to do so in the webpages menu?!?

    Hi Mohammad,
    You are right, this error seems to indicate that the script environment cannot find the required java classes.
    Please try the following:
    1. Open a shell (command prompt) on the computer on which you created the domain.
    2. Change to the directory in which you located the domain.
    By default, this directory is BEA_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name, where BEA_HOME is the top-level installation directory of Oracle WebLogic products.
    3. Set up your environment by running one of the following scripts:
    bin\setDomainEnv.cmd (Windows)
    bin/setDomainEnv.sh (UNIX)
    On Windows, you can use a shortcut on the Start menu to set your environment variables and invoke WLST (ToolsWebLogic Scripting Tool).
    4. Invoke WLST by entering: java weblogic.WLST
    The WLST prompt appears.
    wls:/(offline)>
    5. Then you can start the AdminServer with WLST
    startServer('AdminServer','ClassicDomain','t3://localhost:7001','weblogic','password','/home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain')
    This link may also help: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/config_scripting/manage_servers.html#wp1009240
    Hope your issue gets resolved.
    Thanks,
    Cris

  • Can't browse to Mac from networked PCs

    These network problems have only occurred since upgrading from Panther to Leopard OSx.
    I have multiple PCs running Win98 and XP and 1 G5 mac, networked through a netgear WGT634u router. The router shares an attached USB drive I've named Thor.
    Before upgrading from Panther to Leopard the network worked perfectly. Since upgrading I have the following problem ONLY with the MAC.
    1. Thor shows as a network drive. When I try to connect, it now requires a username & password. There is NO provision for setting a username/password for access to the drive other than for FTP. I can't logon as a guest - Connection Failed "This file server does not allow Guest access". Access to the drive has never required this before. The PCs can see and access perfectly! I can access using FTP CMD K.
    Is there a way of forcing the mac to ignore the username/password the way it use to before?
    2. All PCs show up on the MAC and can be successfully browsed BUT whilst the MACs WINS name (G5workstation) shows up on the PCs, when selected it errors with "G5 workstation not accessible".
    I can use FTP again to connect BUT my preference is to use SMB. It appears to be rejected or timed out waiting for username/password authorisation. Could this be the problem?
    Any help or leads would be most appreciated.

    Just been trying to check on issues with samba and have noticed the following in the logs:

    tdb(unnamed): tdbopenex: spinlocks no longer supported
    If i run the following in terminal:

    sudo: serveradmin: command not found
    OR
    % sudo sharing -l
    Password:
    sudo: sharing: command not found
    Can anyone explain whats happening here!
    It would appear that the samba server is NOT starting due some error. There are NO Problems browsing from the mac to other PCs or now the Netgear WGT634u fileserver.

  • Can see the shared folders from my vista machine, but cannot get into them

    I was looking through these forums last night, and thanks to someone elses post, I was able to make it so that my Vista machine can SEE my Mac over the network. So I can see the computer, I can see what folders I had set on the mac as "shared", but if I try to open them, Winblows throws up an error that the network path is inaccessible...I may not have permission...blah blah blah. The Mac is connected to the network wirelessly, whereas my PC is hooked up through an ethernet cable (don't know if this matters or not). What settings do I need to check/adjust in Leopard so that my Winblows machine will talk to it? All I want to do is some simple file transfers, nothing complicated.

    Thank you for your reply. Unless I overlooked something, Windows Sharing does not seem to exist in Leopard. I remember it being there with Tiger, but I did not see that particular option with Leopard. My firewall settings seem to be okay, as I was able to communicate with the Tiger machine and the other Windows machines currently with no issues.

  • Can I transfer albums/folders from one iPhone gallery to another another (different macs)

    I have two MacBook's running Lion.  I need to give one back to work, so I want to move all the albums and folders I set up in my iPhoto on my work MacBook to my personal MacBook.  I also have a few thousand photos organized into albums/folders on my personal MacBook.  Is there some way to easily merge these without destroying my albums and organization?  I've tried once, and it was a disaster....all my albums disappeared and all the photos were just thrown into a general Photos folder.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Andrea

    Yes.  iPhoto Library Manager can copy albums and/or events between libraries while keeping keywords, titles and other metadata intact.

  • Can you move mail folders from an old .Mac account to a new .Mac account?

    I hope someone can help since even the Mac Genius at the Apple Store nor Applecare seem to know.
    Due to massive spam to my .Mac account & it's alias accounts I opened a new .Mac account before my old account died. However, without any answers my old account died last night. Which probably doesn't help.
    1. Is there a way to move my mail folders in 'mail app' from my old .Mac account over to the new .Mac account?
    2. In 'mail app' > preferences > add account > the pop-up box for the new account automatically shows my old .Mac account information, full name, description, user name. But, if I replace that information with my new .Mac account name and info no one can tell me if that automatically delete any mail folders/information from the old account.
    Basically I'm lost because no one seems to understand how the system works, not even the Mac Genius.
    Any ideas?

    You're welcome.
    Second, because I couldn't get any real answers somehow last night I managed to drag & drop my 'mail app' mail folders onto my desktop. At least I have it there, LOL.
    What do you mean by Mail.app mail folders? There is a single Mail folder which contains all Mail.app data (account folders, mailboxes, rules, junk mail learned settings, etc.) except for the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and is stored in your Preferences folder.
    Did you place a copy of the entire Mail folder located at Home > Library > Mail on the Desktop?
    The question is can that mail folder from the desktop be placed into mail with the new .Mac account? Some of the old folders were from "on my mac" and some with .Mac & the server so not really sure what moved to the desktop. But, at least it's something.
    The answer to this question is no. User created "On My Mac" location mailboxes are stored locally on the hard drive and are not associated with any account. User created "On My Mac" location mailboxes are located in the Mailboxes folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes are are not deleted when deleting an account or changing existing account information with Mail.
    When creating an account with Mail, an account named folder is created within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account. The associated account mailboxes are located within the account named folder with the exception of locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac type account or IMAP account. Locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac type account or IMAP account are located in the Mailboxes folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes. This would be the account's Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk mailboxes if these mailboxes are not stored on the server which is available under the Mailboxes Behaviors tab for the account preferences.
    Since a .Mac type account is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way, you have the option to store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages locally on the hard drive with Mail for the account preferences.
    Were you accessing your old .Mac account as a .Mac type account with Mail and if so, what were/are your settings under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences for Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages - storing these messages on the server or locally on the hard drive?
    Since a .Mac type account with Mail is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way, messages in the account's Inbox mailbox remain on the server and since Apple/.Mac has now cancelled this account, messages in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server have been deleted.
    When you open the 'mail app' >file>add account> the pop-up box automatically has the information in there from the expired .Mac account.
    Is your old .Mac account information still available at System Preferences > .Mac under the Account tab?
    If so, this is where the Mail.app is getting the old .Mac account information which needs to be changed to your new .Mac account information.
    If you placed a copy of the Mail folder on the Desktop for backup purposes, you can can create your new .Mac account with Mail which should not change or affect your existing .Mac account with Mail but you cannot "merge" account named folders and mailboxes between two accounts.
    You can use the Import Mailboxes feature to import the old account's Sent mailbox if you did not store Sent messages on the server for your old .Mac account preferences.

  • Can't delete empty folders from NAS

    Hi all
    I have Mac Book Pro running Mavericks, and a WD World Book running as a NAS on my private network.
    Recently, I've been restructuring my files and folders on both my mac and hard drive.
    Having moved a large number of files across from the HD to my Mac, I now have a load of empty folders on my HD that I cannot seem to get rid of!
    I have tried all the usual things, and also the rm -r command but to no avail. It says that the folder does not exist!
    One other strange thing that is happening on the HD, when I 'Get Info', the top username in permissions is just saying 'fetching' and never resolves.
    Does anyone have any suggestions??
    Let me know if you need more info
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, it one of the problems you can encounter using Launchpad at the moment. You can try to drag another app in the folder and empty the folder again. Sometimes that folder disappears, sometimes not.
    There's a way to rebuild Launchpad but I won't not recommend that. It will bring Launchpad back in the default-setting, so you would have to start rearranging all over again, at the risk of having the same problems all over again.
    So, just wait until the first update of Yosemite comes out. That might solve your problem. If the empty folders bother you, you could try to drag them to a new last page, so they are out of sight for now.

  • Can't browse to folders in iPhoto Library

    I recently purchased a 24" 2.8GHz iMac with iPhoto 8!
    I am coming from a very old Mac with iPhoto 4.
    I can no longer use Finder to browse to the folders that used to be a part of the iPhoto library
    I can manually type in the path using the Finder's "Go to folder" feature, but that seems to be the only way and that's pretty inefficient!
    I makes it very difficult to browse to specific photos using other programs as well.
    Any help "fixing" this?

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can I copy file/folders from and to hard drives? How can I have two or more windows of explorer so that I can drag and drop from one hard drive to another?

    Hi,
    I am a new customer (purchased last week) of MacBookPro (latest) and its my first ever Apple laptop.
    I am almost lost to find the operating tools.
    1. How can I copy files from hard drive to computer and vis-a-versa?
    2. Only can browse one but how can I have two or more browses at the same time like in MS windows?
    3. No right click works on track pad?
    4. Is there application/ program compatible to MS office? If so how much and how can I purchase?
    5. Is there AutoCAD program that is compatible to MS Window AutoCAD? and if yes how much and how can I purchase?
    I will very much appreciate if you could email me the with the solution/answers please.
    Regards,

    1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
    Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
    Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
    Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
    Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
    2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
    3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

  • Can we Hide Measure Folders from a Read Only Session?

    Hi ,
    I have implemented security on my workspace by scoping the dimensions and hiding the cubes.It worked.
    For hiding measure folders, i did similar to hiding of cubes, but it did not work. It threw an error message :
    ERROR: (ORA-34706) ACCOUNT_BW.MEASUREFOLDER is not a valid XPRO_OLAP_NON_AGG.OLAP_NON_AGG!ALL_CUBES.
    Iam cannot understand why the OLAP DML is checking a measurefolder in ALL_CUBES .
    Can anyone help ?
    Sample code of Hiding cubes is below.
    Thanks,

    Actually, their should be an easier way - my brain wasn't in full gear yesterday.
    Select the file/folder(s) you want to make aliases for and then hold down the command and option key at the same time. Now drag the files/folders to where you want the aliases to be, and hey presto!
    Slightly easier than the method I mentioned earlier
