Leopard unable to send folders to a samba share

We are currently experiencing a problem trying to copy a pro tools project onto one of our servers via a samba share on the server. When we try to copy/move a directory finder reports that it does not have sufficiant privalages to do so.
But when we selected individual files inside the directory tree and copied them, they all went over fine and where able to create directories on the server from the client.
I then used terminal and ls -la to view the contents of the directories and discovered there were a fair few hidden temporary files. All belong to the correct user as far as samba is concerned, but some had the "@", Extended attributes flag attatched. I am able to interrogate them using xattr which shows com.apple.<this part varies> I'm unsure completely what com. files represent, as I am generally a linux user (sorry apple! but hey we're both unixy..)
Does anyone know of a fix, or if this is a common problem? or any way I can stop osx from spuriously creating these hidden files? or am I going to havto script something.. umm.. somewhere.
Oh, the server is running Fedora Linux, and the client is an Imac running OSX Leopard.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I am having difficulty finding a sollution to this problem.

do you get error -36 or error -50? there are several bugs related to that in snow leopard finder. not sure which one is affecting you. try this link first
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4017
next, see this post. It could be a problem with split resource forks for hidden .DS_Store files if it only affects folders
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11122044&#11122044
also see this link for yet another bug

Mail 3 in Leopard unable to send mail ??

Hi, i have set the mail configuration like in mail 2.0, but my IMAP account now in mail 3.0 with Leopard is unable to sent mail because :: The SMTP server “smtp.unil.ch” doesn’t support TLS (SSL) on port 25. Please check your account settings and try again.
I don't know if in mail 3 there are many changes, but i don't have this problem with mail 2.0. thks!!!!

iPhoto doesn't support pdf files. It never has. There used to be a feature in the older systems that would save a pdf as a jpeg file to iPhoto. Here's how to reestablish that capability:
Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.

Yosemite 10.10.1: Finder/CIFS mount problem: wrong folder count/folders not shown @samba shares

Hello to all,
we have several MacBook Pro (15" MBP Retina 2012/13"MBP Retina 2014) running. After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1 we had one nightmare after the other.
Most problems could be solved with 3rd party software upgrades but there are several problems with the operating system itselve which can not really be called a professional productive system at the moment...
Ok., one thing after the other...here is one of our biggest problems:
After upgrading from Mavericks or Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10.1 the CIFS/SMB mounts to our samba 3.x servers, running on Ubuntu Linux LTS 12.04 makes trouble. We could mount the server shares but after browsing with the Finder the beach ball occures and the Finder hangs forever. Sometimes we could not refresh the Finder, killing the process ended in a complete hang-up of the system which ended in a switch off death blow. This is not amusing because we have 30Tb of customer data there, which has to be worked out.
We heard about the SMB3 protocol which will be used per default in Yosemite and so we decided after some testings to upgrate our Ubuntu servers to the latest LSF 14.04. release with samba 4.1.6 installed. There was no message from Apple for this SMB protocol release upgrade, never heard something related to Yosemite (Why?).
Ok, after these server upgrades and disabling most of the Spotlight functions the performance to the CIFS shares was a little bit better as before but now we have another problem with the Finder...if you browse to the shares there are folders missing which have lots of files in it. For example there is a folder with 60 subfolders and 3562 files on the first level in it, the Finder shows 220 files and 15 folders. The Terminal shows a different count with "find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | wc -l" or "find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l" but there is also a difference to the original file and folder count. It doesn`t matter if the clients are connected via WiFi or Gigabit Ethernet. We have no access problems. We have the same behavior if we set the files and folders to 0777 permissions on the servers. The deletion of the preferences files of the users on the MacBooks does not solve the problem. If we use the "Go To Folder" option and type the path to a folder which is not shown in the Finder you get an result or not. But it is also possible that the result is not correct and there are also still files or subfolders missing.
In my opinion this is a timeout problem and a "special SMB3 protocol interpretation" which is buggy. We have one hint found in /var/log/system.log:
"Jan 23 14:35:49 wsosx33.clients.getcom.de KernelEventAgent[69]: tid 54485244 type 'smbfs', mounted on '/Volumes/customersdata2015', from '//x144067:@srvlxp013.servers.getcom.de/customersdata2015', not responding"
We had no problems with Mavericks at all, we still have no problems with Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate, Windows 2008R2 (native or virtual) or Linux Mint 17/17.1 clients, neither with samba 3.x nor with our actual environment and different newer samba releases.
We believe that this is a big bug in Yosemite, but we cannot go back to Mavericks because of incompatible TimeCapsule backups. Our workarround at the moment is that we have installed Linux Mint on our MacBooks to get 80% of our daily jobs done, rest has to be done with Windows 7 installed over virtualbox @Linux.
We have no clue at the moment how to solve this problem, the samba logs do not give any hint. The access from other operating systems is perfect and very fast, but not with Yosemite. We checked different tips found in the internet but nothing helped.
Does anybody has another idea to get Yosemite working or should we keep Linux Mint until Apple will provide a CIFS/SMB patch and going on with our workaround solution, which is productive at the moment ??? Our staff is not amused and wants one solution and not this workaround with two operating system. We have to decide wether we wait until Apple will get this fixed or we have to switch to Microsoft Windows (which is a No Go for me, but I will not be asked...).
Thanks in advance
C.

Hi William,
thank you for your response.
As you can read in my post I talked about CIFS/SMB.
It makes no difference if we mount the share over CIFS or SMB.
Folders with lots of files will not be shown even if we use SMB3 or an older protocol.
As mentioned I believe this is a timeout problem.
Does anybody know how the CIFS/SMB timeout setting in Yosemite could be changed?
Kind regards
C.

IPhoto: unable to send with built-in email share option

i've only been able to send and share photos from iphoto using the external Mail app. (going into iphotos general prefences and changing it to Mail.) However, at times i want to use some of the snazy built in stationary options iphoto has to send pix to friends and family.
when "share photos using iPhoto" is selected, iPhoto always gives me an offline error message. i've tweeked the settings and made sure everything matches that of the Mail app, but it still doesnt work.
anyone have similar issues? resolutions?
OS 10.8
iPhoto 11 v. 9.3.2

Mail has more (and many think better) stationary templates than iPhoto. In iPhoto go to the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts and delete the account and re-enter it and try again

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears.

Email seems to be sent, but it doesn't arrive. No 'unable to send' message, sent items and draft folders are empty. The mail disappears. I tried to fully turn off the iPad and have it restart. But it doesn't go off. I keep seeing the small white 'turning wheel' untill the battery is gone. After that, it works again (and so does the e-mail). This happens about every week. What can I do?

*there's no reason to be paranoid*
Says Mulder .
Anyway, as I mentioned, I don't use any sync-able email, just a very plain-jane POP email provider. iSync reports no devices and has nothing in its log, which matches my never having installed anything in need of syncing.
The thing is, if Mail says its sending something when nothing was ever sent, that's a largish bug whether it is actually sending something or isn't, and there isn't really enough info here to know which of those are the case. Maybe Mail just displays "Sending" because an attempt to do something reasonable is timing out, maybe it does an innocuous and normal POP thing using very confusing nomenclature, or maybe it's really trying to send something which has a wrong flag or something. There isn't really enough info to know what is going on, so I was hoping someone could identify the symptoms.

Firefox keeps crashing apon startup and unable to send crash report

Last night I was browsing the web and ended up having 300+ tabs opened, FIrefox started to slow tremendously and stopped responding a couple of times. Was given the option to close Firefox from the popup window and choose to close Firefox, unfortunately when I tried to open Firefox again it crashed and gave me the crash reporter and when I tried to submit the report the report it encountered a problem and is unable to send the report. I've run Firefox in safe mode and is working fine but when I try to restart with add-ons disabled its still crashes and unable to send report.

Try to start Firefox with the about:blank page by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut and add a space and <b>-url "about:blank"</b> to the target field.
Try to delete the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder to prevent restoring the crashed session.
*C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

The "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.

Unable to send or retrieve at certain times

I've had this problem now for a few weeks. I've been in touch with my webhost and they have no problems - they have even transferred my email account to a different server.
I am in the UK and my brother is in South Africa - he doesn't experience any problem with the same webhost.
I've deleted the mail prefs file and repaired disc permissions but I still get the same daily issue.
I am unable to send or retrieve mail between around 7-9pm GMT. I get the following error:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "myaccountname" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "mail.myaccountname.co.uk" on port 0 timed out.

You’re welcome.
Now whenever I attempt to go the preferences in Mail it stalls Mail
(Mail not responding) for around 2 minutes.
Look for additional information that may be available in the form of error messages written to the Console:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result.
Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/StartupItems/
/Library/LaunchDaemons/
/Library/LaunchAgents/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/StartupItems /Library/LaunchDaemons /Library/LaunchAgents /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/LaunchAgents ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
<hr>
You may also try this to determine the scope of the problem:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there.
4. For spam-related security reasons, go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
5. If you set up a POP account, go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced and disable Remove copy from server after retrieving a message if it’s enabled, to avoid messages being accidentally removed from the server while testing.
6. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.

Unable to send or recieve images via drag and drop?

I am unable to send or recieve jpg and gif images by dragging and dropping from finder. How do I fix this?

Hi,
Where are you dragging them to ?
You Can do it two ways using Drag.
One is to the Buddy's Name in the Buddy list and letting go (it gets sent as a loose file)
The Second is to drag it to the Text field during a Text chat (Excluding Group Chats)
The First causes an Invite to accept to pop up on the Buddies Screen.
You can also see see when it is Accepted (you may even have to confirm sending depending on your Settings)
The Second gets sent as a File Link in the Chat which the Buddy has to Also Accept...
You can also send files by highlighting a Buddy and going the the Buddies Menu > Send File.
This method tends to point to error with the File Transfer port not being open.
So...
Check you can send Files first by all three methods. (these tends to ignore Firewall and Router settings as it is Outgoing)
Get your Buddy to Send by all three methods.
IF this is AIM and you are having issues log out of the Account (IChat > Preferences > Accounts > Account Info Tab (Deselect "Use this Account")
Now go to the Sever Settings
Change the Default port from 5190 to 443.
iChat Logs in on port 5190 using the TCP Protocol.
File Transfers or Direct IMs when done in a Chat are sent on Port 5190 but on the UDP Protocol (It is Peer-to-Peer).
Some Router don't like this dual Use.
If you still have issues then you will need to either Enable the Firewall and check iChat in in the List of allowed Apps and/or open port 5190 in you router. (on the UDP Protocol if stated)

Unable to send crash/error problem report

Hi There,
I have recently noticed that when a program I am running either force quits on it's own or I have to manually force quit the program, I am unable to send crash/error problem report to Apple. This has happened for all my programs from Safari and iTunes to recently Microsoft Word. The crashing messed up my internet as I had to give up using Firefox (because it kept crashing and wouldn't send a report) so I downloaded Chrome.
Yesterday, Microsoft Word had to force quit because I manually quit the program but it never closed. It kept running in the background at 192% under my operating processes. When I force quit Word, it gave me the option to report the problem or ignore it. I chose to send a report but once that Problem Report screen loaded, it would not let me send to Apple, stating "Your submission could not be submitted. Please try again later."
I have tried numerous times since all to no avail. As I mentioned, this happens on a lot of programs lately and I don't know what to do to fix it. Below are the specs of my Macbook. I can copy the problem details, but is lengthy.
Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Apple is apparently no longer accepting crash reports for 'Leopard' OS X 10.5.8.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17544781#17544781
Typical disk-maintenance activities when crashes occur include using Verify, and Repair Permissions on your hard drive (probably labeled Macintosh HD), using Disk Utility.
10% to 15% of hard-drive capacity is generally acknowledged as the minimum amount of free space needed for adequate performance.

Leopard and Samba Shares

Hi,
I have a Samba-Server (3.0.28a) on a Linux machine running with shares for
Windows- and Mac-Users.
All new files and directories that was saved on the
server have the right permissions during the
configuration file smb.conf and the parameters
"create mask" and "directory mask".
Since the update to Leopard for the Mac, the permissions
will be ignored. Every file copied from the Mac to the
server have the permission 0644 and directories 0755
independet of "create mask = 0640" and "directory mask = 0750"
of the smb.conf configuration. The permissions of files,
copied with Windows to the Samba server are good.
Tests with the parameters like "force create mode" and
"force directory mode" have no success. The user permissions
are the same and doesn't changed.
1. Is there a bug in Mac OS 10.5.2 (Leopard) to work with Samba shares,
or a problem with ACLs? Because Tiger doesn't use ACLs (i think so) and all was fine, but in the Samba configuration ACL support is switched on.
Sometimes the finder (Leopard) doesn't show directories and files on shares, after a reboot of the Mac the objects are available again!? For me it's look
like an inconsistent performance.
2. Or is there a change in the permission technology
by Leopard, where is a different handling in Samba necessary?
Thank you and
best regards
oelauge

There is a change in Samba and the Leopard SMB client that can have adverse affects on how ACLs are interpreted. Filesystem ACLs have been supported starting in Mac OS X 10.4, so that hasn't changed directly in 10.5.
But this problem would be a server-side problem on your Linux box. Here's why:
Whenever files are copied, Mac OS X uses the following protocol: the POSIX permission bits of the copy are always retained. In other words, if the original file is 0755, then the copy will be 0755; however, the POSIX owner will be changed to the currently connected user. (Currently-connected can mean the user who logged in for cases where no permission masking applies. These cases will be limited to situations where the server and client are part of a common directory domain, such as Active Directory or Open Directory. For all other situations, masked permissions apply, and the currently logged-in user receives the permissions assigned to the user who connected to the share point.) Typically, the POSIX group is changed to match the group of the destination container (the folder that will hold the copy).
So, let's say Joey copies this file (to which Joey can only read):
SomeFile.txt
POSIX owner: Sally
POSIX group: SallyandFriends
POSIX permissions: 0644
...to this folder on the SMB server where Joey connected as snoopy, and snoopy is a member of peanuts...
ServerFolder
POSIX owner: linus
POSIX group: peanuts
POSIX permissions: 0777
...thus, Joey's copy should look like this:
SomeFile.txt - copy
POSIX owner: snoopy (because Joey connected to the server as snoopy - these are masked permissions)
POSIX group: peanuts (inherited from the parent)
POSIX permissions: 0755 (preserved)
The create and directory masks are for newly-created files and folders on the server, but not copied files or folders!
The real solution here would be to enable ACLs on your Linux server volume.

Unable to send out emails via outlook express since 06/29/2010

Task '[email protected]" - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).' This is a copy/paste of error message from Office Outlook 2003
Our household has been unable to "send" outgoing emails since 06/29/2010. This includes a wireless laptop and a PC. We both lost the ability to send emails same day. We changed NOTHING and did not share emails with each other that would have corrupted our system. During this time I have had 2 Verizon techs dance around in the PC doing all the same things I did as well as what the automated assistant did. The last tech said the Outlook Express 6.0 was corrupted, and to unistall it and then reinstall; this time 2 hours later, I think he just gave up). That did not work either. I tried using the Outlook Office and still got an error message for outging. Everything is set up as it was when it was working until 06/29/2010. I was told that there was a new server being installed and that things wold be working by 07/02/2010... I have tried taking down the firewall, turning off virus protection (McAfee), changing from outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net to just outgoing.verizon.net, checking boxes, unchecked boxes. SMPT is set to 587. We get incoming fine. I hate using the "Verizon email site" as too much monkey motion to get to mail, but that's what we have been doing. I even tried setting up a GMail account, again got mail still could not send. Any ideas?

Thank you for your response! I even tried sending an email via dos prompt with Telnet, got past "HELO", but when trying to get a "RCPT TO" (using outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net) I got an "authorization required" response and then was dropped. I have been passed around without a solution. I am about ready to change ISP, but really hate to as most of the time (years now) this has been a decent ISP. If Verizon is having a problem just say so, I can handle it, honesty would be nice, refreshing and not wasting so much of my time as well as the techs!

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...
