what's wrong?
Yesterfday it worked fine?
Help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks for the question, however, this forum is for Remote Desktop Clients related questions.
Regarding the issue, as Windows clients can connect with no problem, I suspect that it is a Mac side issue and I would like to suggest you contact Apple support for help.
Thanks.

Trying to connect to windows server 2003 through AFP not SMB

When I try to connect is says AFP is not compatible.

Thanks for your timely response Arun. Solved the issue as I was using Message inside the cursor , I removed that and problem is solved.
When I am retrieving only 2 columns in select statement then it is getting executed but when I am giving more than 2 columns then it is giving error "Incorrect Syntax Near".
But now I made following changes in program and getting dump (with different message).
The code is as under.
DATA: c1 TYPE cursor.
DATA : BEGIN OF EMP_DATA OCCURS 0,
        FNAME(100)       TYPE C,
        LNAME(100)       TYPE C,
        JOINING_CTC(16) TYPE P DECIMALS 2,
        END OF EMP_DATA.
DATA : fnm(100)    TYPE c,
        lnm(100)    TYPE c,
        jng_ctc(16) TYPE P DECIMALS 2.
EXEC SQL.
   CONNECT TO 'HRMS'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
   OPEN c1 for
   SELECT FNAME LNAME JOINING_CTC FROM view_EMPDATAPayroll_New.
ENDEXEC.
DO.
   EXEC SQL.
     FETCH NEXT c1 INTO :EMP_DATA
   ENDEXEC.
   APPEND EMP_DATA.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     EXIT.
   ENDIF.
ENDDO.
EXEC SQL.
   CLOSE c1
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
   DISCONNECT 'HRMS'
ENDEXEC.
LOOP AT EMP_DATA.
   WRITE: EMP_DATA-FNAME , EMP_DATA-LNAME , EMP_DATA-JOINING_CTC.
ENDLOOP.
At execution I am getting dump with the following message:
Short text
    SQL error 102 occurred when executing Native SQL.
What happened?
    The error 102 occurred in the current database connection "HRMS".
    Error Text of Database: "Incorrect syntax near 'JOINING_CTC'."
    SQL Statement Responsible:"SELECT FNAME LNAME JOINING_CTC FROM
     view_EMPDATAPayroll_New."
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR', was not
     caught and
    therefore caused a runtime error.
    The reason for the exception is:
    Error Text of the Database: "Incorrect syntax near 'JOINING_CTC'."

Mac OS X 10.10.2 connection to Windows Server 2003 R2 very slo

Hi,
I am currently running OS X 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro and I connect to a local server at my work periodically by using the connect to server function in Finder. I type in the server ip address and am able to connect to the appropriate drive without any problems. The problem comes in when I go to open files and sometimes folders from the server. It can take up to a minute or more to open a simple .png file that is only 8 mb in size. Trying to open larger files causes the applications to freeze and I eventually have to force close the applications. Even transferring the files from the server to my desktop is extremely slow. I was wondering if there was any way to fix this problem (either on the MacBook side or the Windows side).
The server is currently running Windows Server 2003 R2 (I plan on updating it, but in the meantime...) and the person who set the server up is no longer available to be contacted for questions. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi cani89,
Firstly, this policy has three values that you can set. Which one do you use, Negotiate, RDP or SSL?
In addition, we need the log file for further research.

Trying to connect to Window server

Hi all,
If anyone could help or suggest a solution I will be forever grateful!
I'm using a MacPro (OS X 10.5.7) at work to try to connect to a windows server. But they coming up with excuses left right and center to avoid giving it...
Here what we're using:
"It is a proprietary system made by a San / Nas provider & is a mix of both.
On this system it is only possible to set the folder structure to use the following protocols, cifs (how windows connects) & NFS (how unix connects). The applemac can use either afp or smb as it’s explorer like protocol.
This is why we need to connect the windows PC to the server (as it talks to the server in cifs & windows knows what that is)."
I asked:
"But you stated that NFS? Macs can use CIFS protocol and I’ve successfully connected to GROUPDATA. I’m just having trouble viewing the files. Would you be able to configure the permissions to at least read only?"
Support replied with:
"The server is no longer licenced for NFS, it is CIFS only. Saved money on licencing.
When you go to the groupdata area you can see all of the top level folders, but cannot get any lower. It is not a permission thing. We use DFS to get to the folders underneath. The group data area is a virtual area (not real folders). That part uses windows but the folders below groupdata\newmedia (for example) use the filer& the cifs protocol."
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks,
Hal

Its a while since I used the software but I seem to recall it can register the client in active directory, hence the network admin password. This would be typed in by a Windows Network admin not by the user and only required the once.
Anyway there is evaluation email support so they can answer questions about their software much better than I can. Be interesting to confirm if it will do the job.
Just seen the post from Halmat, this would confirm what I thought. Please contact Thursby I am sure it can be sorted.

Mac G5 10.4 connecting to Windows Server 2003 finder windows NOT refreshing

We are not seeing finder contents refresh when connecting to Windows 2003 servers. We are running 10.4.5. This was supposedly "fixed" in 10.4 but we haven't seen it work yet. Who do we contact for support on this? I've tried using "Contextual Menu" which didn't work, and also tried "Finder Sync" which also didn't work. The only thing that did work was Path Finder. Path Finder did provide an auto-refresh but I don't like Path Finder and we won't buy it.
Who do we contact at Apple about this? Or does anyone have any experience like this?
Thanks very much!

I have the same problem and I did public it in another forum.
Someone told me to write an Applescript like this:
tell application "Finder"
tell front window
update every item with necessity
end tell
end tell
Copy it, open Script Editor and save it as an executable application in your Utilities folder. Now put shortcuts to it in your Dock or your Sidebar or whereever. When you run it, the front most windows in the Finder will be refreshed to its most current state from disk.
I tried it but it doesn't help so much. I have no problem at all when I work with Windows Server 2000.

OSX 10.4.6 connection to Windows Server 2003

OK guys I need serious help here and in the most basic terms you can describe them in. I'm not an IT guy, and our IT guy knows nothing about Macs. This will be a long post, I appologize, but if you think you can help, please read through it.
We have a large network of PC's - one main PC running Win Server 2003. That server controls our storage. Storage used to be controlled by a Linux box, and connecting was as easy as going to "Network/Domain/Server" and clicking connect, which would bring up a list of shares, clicking OK and then entering the username and password.
NOW we have replaced that box with a Win Server 2003 box.
Under Network I can see the server. I click on the server name, then on connect. It brings up the SMB/CIFS File System Authentication window. Which is odd, because it should bring up the "share" window... shouldn't it?
I enter in the username and password, hit ok and I get "The alias "servername" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found"
So, doing some more research I find that I need to activate "Active Directory"
Cool, so I open "Directory Access" click on "Enable" next to "Active Directory"
Configure
Set the actiive directory domain
enter the comptuer ID
and hit bind, enter the admin un and pw. It binds just fine.
It guy tells me he can see me on his list of users now.
HOWEVER, I guess we don't know the proper way to log onto the server still. I go to network, find the server, click connect. Still no list of shares and still tells me the original item doesn't exist.
PLEASE help. This is making me crazy, and I've already lost the better part of a day messing with it and trying to understand some of other posts I've found on the subject.

Your IT guy will need to disable digital signing on the policy governing that particular server.

SMB and VPN connected to Windows Server 2003

I have search the web for an answer on this problem, I've only found peoble with same problem, but still no solution :o/
I wan't to connect to my office (windows2003) from my OSX 10.4.2 at home. I've set up an VPN connection and can PING the server (and others) on the network. Works fine.
When I connect to the server via SMB://server/ I get a list with all different folders (or servers) I can connect to but I get rejected with the answer Bad name or password. Now to the funny part; I can connect in the Terminal using smbclient with the same user and pwd just rejected in Finder!!!
I've read about this problem on http://www.macwindows.com/tiger.html#052305a but I can't find a solution. Someone mentioned a bug with apple number #4108992 - Can anyone tell me where I can read about that? Or better - Where I can find a solution. (I've tried to erase keychain)

My school sets up our network disk space with access via FTP. I don't know if that is an option through your company. While I have to download files to work with them and then upload them again to the network space to access them at work, it does allow me to look at the directory structure. I use an FTP client (not the one built into OS X). This might be an option for you to check on with your IT department. (This also eliminates my need to use VPN.)
Hope this helps.

Mac keeps trying to connect to a server when opening excel

i worked for a week at a production house and they had me log into their server to access files that we all used. obviously i forgot to eject their server before i left and instead just closed my computer and left. now, since Lion makes all documents that were left open restore automatically my mac keeps trying to load a spreadsheet that i was reading off the server but obviously i'm not connected to said server anymore. and i won't ever again.
how can i stop my mac from trying to connect to this server? also, is there a way to stop Lion from auto restoring?
thanks, all!

Well, I was hoping that if you remove all traces of recently opened documents to resume and you disable the resume, then Excel would not try any longer to connect to the server.
One more question: is Excel trying to reach the server when you start your system or when you launch Excel?
If it happens at start up, then have a look, if Excel has been added to the start up items (System preferences -> accounts -> your account -> start up items) and remove it.
Quit Excel (with Option + Command + Q) if it is open and remove the loginwindow preferences: Navigate to Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.loginwindow.[xxxxxxxxx].plist
The [xxxxxxxx] represent some interminable string of numbers and letters.
If it happens at launch time, move the Excel preference file to the Desktop before you launch Excel. The file is locate here:
/Users/your user name/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Excel.plist.
If you keep your Library hidden, as it is by default, go to the System preference folder from the Finder menu: Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder (Or shift-cmd-G) and enter
"/Users/your user name/Library/Preferences"
Good luck

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

HT4436 When trying to sign in I keep getting the error message, "iCloud encounterd a error while trying to connect to the server". How can I get signed in?

When trying to sign in to iCloud, I always get the message, iCloud has encountered a error while trying to connect to the server. How do I get in????

I'd recommend that you not use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver to connect to SQL Server. M$ and jTDS are two free type IV JDBC drivers that you should use instead. Put those JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
The database URL you're using is not correct if you change drivers. Consult the docs to find out what the proper syntax is.

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!

Trying to setup new iCloud in system preferences and get error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

Here's the sequence of events:
Setting up a new iMac.
Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
Now, the problem:
Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
Rebooting doesn't help
Ideas?

never mind the problem is gone this morning.

How do I stop InDesign from trying to connect with a server?

I have a huge problem, either with InDesign or Apple I am not sure.
Basically when I bring my computer home from work every time I open InDesing it tries to connect to a server and I get this error message: the server XXX.local may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
Why is InDesign trying connect to a server? Photoshop and Illustrator work perfectly well and function as a normal program. Indesign has no reason to do this as it shouldn't need to work through a server.
I get this error message and once I have dismissed it, it comes back after a few seconds and then stalls my computer again.
I really hope that someone can give me some idea of what is happening because the support in my country have not been at all helpful.

CS5. I have been working with this program for over 10 years and I have never seen this before. I only have this problem at home and not at working. The drive it is trying to access is the timecapsule.local. As I said it is only with InDesign and all the other bundle programs are fine. It is not a pay per month and is a legitimately licensed business subscription.
