MAC (10.6.8) users having permission issues with windows 2003 AD and NetApp SAN environment.

I have created a cifs share that is being accessed by Mac users that are part of a windows 2003 AD. When the user edit data and save it back to the share, the security permission are reset and none of the other users can see the new data unless the permissions are refreshed on the windows server. I have found following links that talk about a similar issue but with an older MAC OS. I am using 10.6.8.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

This is a 'known problem' as discussed on the MacWindows site, see http://www.macwindows.com/More-on-OS-X-conflicts-with-Windows-Server-Deduplicati on.html
It appears to still affect Mavericks 10.9.5 at least from the lack of any positive reports to the contrary. It is perhaps a bit late but it would have been worth signing up for the public beta of Yosemite and testing that and if needed reporting it as an issue for Yosemite as this will be getting more bug fix attention than Mavericks now.
I would agree turning off de-duplication is not a desirable solution, however other possibilities to consider are installing the standard Samba software on a Mac and using that instead of Apple's SMBx software. This is done by using the SMBup installer See http://eduo.info/2013/07/13/smbup-faq it does not officially list Mavericks but I did see at least one report that it still worked. A second possibility is to install ExtremeZ-IP which installs an AFP server on to your Windows Server and also gives the bonus of supporting Spotlight searches.
Note: You should only try SMBup on a test setup first.

Sync issues with Windows I tunes and ipd touch

HI
I am having some issues with transferring music to my ipod touch, the music is clearly displayed in I tunes, and I use the correct way to move the folder into the Ipod icon.......sometimes it works absolutely fine, and then I try another album and it just wont transfer.
I was wondering if there were any issues about which you connect first iTunes or Ipod first ? that might make a difference..however which ever way I do it my Ipod is always recognized by I tunes straight away.
could there be issue with the non official apple cable I am using.?.i don't see why as it will copy across other albums absolutely fine and charges up my idpod quickly
I have also checked in the folders to see if there are any strange goings on with music tracks that might stop them from transferring across... but all of them are named correctly and in the MP3 format
the albums that will not transfer do not appear to me to be in any way different to the albums that will transfer.
any advice would be appreciated as it is quite frustrating not to be able to copy all the albums that I want to over to my Ipod touch
Thanks

Mavericks permission issues with Windows Server deduplicated shares.

We have a number of 10.9-10.9.3 - Mavericks - machines installed throughout our facility. Much of the user content is pulled from shares stored on our Windows Server 2012 fileservers with deduplication enabled. I have found that files newly written or unoptimized are able to be accessed without issue - read, written, modified, etc. Once the file gets optomized/deduplicated and Windows adds the P & L attributes - sparse and symlink - the Macs running Mavericks begin to have access issues.
Once the files get deduplicated, users begin receiving read access errors when copying files (see error1 below). This happens when copying to folders within the current folder tree or copying somewhere to the local system. If you 'stop' the copy operation and retry a few more times, it may eventually work for the specific instance but fail again later. I am however, able to copy these files without issue via the terminal.
Other systems running 10.7 do not experience the same issues and are able to access file server resources without issue. Many of the systems having issues are newer and thus not able to be downgraded to 10.8 or 10.7.
I have tried finder replacements such as Pathfinder but the results are the same. I know this is at least similar to the issues many Mac users are already experiencing and posting about but I haven't seen it directly linked to deduplication and the attributes written by Windows server. Has anyone seen this issue? Have any solutions been found?
Error 1:
When copying files after the PL attributes have been set by deduplication.
"One or more items can't be copied to "Foler" because you don't have permissions to read them.
Via the system.log, I am also seeing the following error when accessing these deduplicated file shares. The reparse point tag listed below is "IO_REPARSE_TAG_DEDUP"
Reported error:
"smbfs_nget: filename.ext - unknown reparse point tag 0x80000013"

SL Server Permission Issues with Windows XP Clients

I'm running into some permissions issues with Snow Leopard Server. I know it's specific to SL Server because I have two Leopard servers and neither one is affected. All servers are set up the same way.
I'm using this SL server as a file server in the golden triangle approach: AD for Users, OD for Groups that supply AD User membership. I have one volume per OD group, and that group has read/write privileges to that volume via the default Server Admin read/write ACL. POSIX permissions are 770 on the top level directory, and ownership is set to the AD user who owns the volume, and the OD group the volume belongs to.
The client is XP SP3. When the client accesses a share on the SL server, their access is correctly granted and they can browse the share and read any files inside the share. They can copy files to the share from wherever. They can open, edit, and save files. However, they cannot rename or delete files within the share. They cannot rename folders, but can delete them. This affects all AD users regardless of the OD group they're in.
I have a few Windows 7 and Vista clients on the network, and these two OS's are not affected by this so the problem is limited to XP. If I create a user in OD, and auth to the sever from the XP client as that user, the problem goes away, so it's something to do with AD and SMB.
I do have a ticket in with Apple support, which was escalated to Engineering. Still waiting on that.
Things I have tried that have not worked/helped:
-Modify the ACL to Full Privileges
-Tried removing/re-adding user to OD group.
-Remove darwin_streams from vfs_objects in smb.conf
stream support = no
ea support = yes/no (tried both ways)
darwin_streams:brlm = no
-Added nt acl support = no to smb.conf
per http://bit.ly/6aYycW
-Animal sacrifice..... ??
Help?

I need to do more testing, but I think the fix is to add "acl check permissions = no" to the bottom of /etc/smb.conf:
; Site-specific parameters can be added below this comment.

acl check permissions = no

I have been having syncing issues with icloud notes, contacts, and now icloud email. Does anyone have suggestions?

Just recently, I have been unable to receive icloud email on my iphone and new ipad3. Although, I am a loyal apple consumer, I feel a bit let down. I am a PhD student and used my ipad/icloud email for downloading and reading PDF journal articles. My goal is to eventally buy a MacBook Pro and eliminate some of the syncing issues with icloud by storing my documents on the hard drive. I hope this will give me some relief from all the trouble I have had with icloud. Please share your suggestions.

Right now, there is an iCloud blackout. Most people are having issues syncing Notes, Calenders, and Contacts between devices, emails aren't being sent, and Find My iPhone isn't working.

Permission Problem with Windows 2003 Share

Hi There,
I have just installed a new 750GB removable drive on our Windows 2003 R2 file server so our "mac" team can copy old data to it. The drive is formated in NTFS and previously used to do exactly the same to a 250gb drive without any issues.
Now when we go to copy a file to the "new" drive we get the "Operation cannot be performed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of these items" error. I have searched hi and low for a solution but I cannot find anything that rectifies the problem.
We have MAC's that run both OSX 10.5 and 10.4 but we get the same problem on both.
Anyone been able to solve this before?
Thanks in advance.
Nick

Are you sure you applied the proper policy(ies) to the share on Win server?
Also if youre sharing it out over AFP as opposed to SMB there is a special property that makes it read only. If you right click on the SFM volume and go to properties youll see a check box near the bottom of the pane that makes the share read-only by default.

Scaling issues with Windows 8.1 and 3200x1800 displays?

What about scaling issues with CS6 Illustrator and Photoshop? I have a hidpi 3200x1800 13" laptop with win 8.1 and can't use the software because of the tiny text.
Thanks,
PK
Sent from my iPhone

CS6 was released before HiDpi displays were common and there are no adjustments in that program.
You can try going into Preferences > Interface and changing the UI Font Size to Large.
You could also try lowering your display resolution until is decently readable.
Another step is joining Creative Cloud. Photoshop CC 2014 has 200% UI Scaling.
$50/month for all apps or $10/month for Photoshop/Lightroom.
There are intro and educational offers if you can get on them.

WRITE permission Issue with Windows 7

I have a swing based applicatin that can be isntalled using a installer. This application writes some configuration files and also uses embeded database derbby. Therefore user must have WRITE permission on folder where application is installed.
On windows 7 with JRE (build 1.6.0_21-b07) if it is installed in "Program Files" where by default WRITE permission is not allowed it throws exceptions that is correct. However when i tried it with old version of JRE e.g. (build 1.6.0_1) it works. I wonder why Windows 7 security works differnetly with old and latest versions of JRE.

.. This application writes some configuration files and also uses embeded database derbby. Therefore user must have WRITE permission on folder where application is installed. I don't understand how that follows. If the embedded data is read only, it would not require write ability.
OTOH, if write ability is required, install the DB file in a sub-directory of user.home. JWS offers an installer-desc element to call set up apps. the first time a JWS app. is invoked.

Having compatablity issues with windows 7

apple application support not found

hello, please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general'' while you're in safemode.

Having an issue with Win 7 x64 and iTunes

So for some reason my iTunes won't open at all. I have it checked to run as admin, even went as far as to run it in compatability mode for Win7. What happens is that the User Agreement pops up...I hit accept and nothing happens. Now I opened up my Task Manager and looked for that APSdaemon.exe I believe it was called. It isn't there so that isn't blocking it. I turned off my AVG which didn't work. I allowed all access through it once I put it back up and that didn't work either. I noticed in my Action Center I had about 23 error messages for iTunes and the solution it gave me was
iTunes has stopped working properly.
A newer version of this software is available for download that addresses this problem. Apple Inc. recommends updating to take advantage of security and stability improvements.
I already have 10.5 for x64...I got it off the main page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. First time Apple user by the way!

Try the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

I am having an issue with an IBM site and it was suggested by customer service that I need to install version 3 of Firefox. I cannot find a site to do this.

I need to download a copy of FireFox 3.o to be able to post updates in an IBM repository. The current 4.0 version doesn't allow me to post or open files in this repository.

If you just need it for that one site, I believe a better option than replacing Firefox 4 is to install the portable version of Firefox 3 on your hard drive. You can use the portable version for the IBM site and Firefox 4 for other sites. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - Firefox 3 is listed in the legacy versions section.
It is best not to use Firefox 3 for all browsing as it is no longer supported with security updates.

AE scaling issues with Windows 8.1 and 3200x1800 displays?

Hi There,
I run AE, Premiere, Photoshop all CS6 and on a Windows 8.1 - 3200x1800 laptop and it seem like all Adope Products - also Lighroom 4.4 don't scale properly. All buttons are about half the size of the mouse arrow. Really pain for the eyes and back having to work like that.
Tried Corel Draw X3 from 2006 and it works perfectly. Almost all other Programs don't seem to have this issue.
Will this be fixed soon?
Thanks.

This was leaked about the Windows update coming in April. Do you think this will fix it?
Built-in font scaling to 500 percent. Wzor notes that 250 percent font scaling is set as the default when you install on a monitor with more than 1,800 vertical pixels

WRT610N issues with Windows 7 RTM and what's my version nothing printed on the back of the router

I got to explorer, choose network, then click the computer icon for WRT610N, it asks for a user name and password I enter the admin user name + password (here I notice that the domain is by default my computer domain, so I enter user name as \\WRT610N\admin) however, I get a prompt which says the user name is invalid.
Any ideas???
Also on another note, if I turn over my router to check which version it is, there is no version number mentioned... my firmware as displayed when I get to the router status page displays as "Firmware Version: 1.00.03 B15 May. 14, 2009"
Thanks in advance for the help.

If its not accepting the default Username and Password, then have you tried to change the password to access the storage Drive when you were trying to configure the settings on your Router? If you are not sure about the settings, then login to the Router setup page and click on the "Storage" tab and click on the sub tab "Administration" and under "User Management" select the User "admin" and click on "Modify" and change the password and click on Save Settings...
Once you are done with the settings, now try to Map the drive again on your computer, and when prompted for the Username and Password, type username and password (admin : username and password : which you created) and click Ok. This will let you view the Shared Folders which you have created on your Storage Drive. Right click on it and select "Map Network Drive" and below check the box "Re-Connect at Logon" and click on Finish.
These way it will map the Storage drive on your computer and you should be able to transfer the files on your Storage Drive.

Issues with Windows 8 (bootcamp) and microphone

I installed all the necessary drivers which apple gave me in their drivers for windows, however, my headset doesn't work... the headphone part works fine. I can hear all windows sounds and it still works on the mac. However, i want windows so that i can play a wider variety of games with my friends, and need a microphone so i can chat to them... Any help would be appreciated!

There is a Boot Camp forum you can post to. Iclcik Apple Support Communites above then type in Boot Camp in the search field.

Network issues with Windows Server 2008 and MacOS

Hello there,
I believe it is a long shot, but i am running out of options. I got a video streaming server software running on my windows server 2008. It has a client that runs on MacOS and Windows. The windows client works just fine, but the macos client cannot stream
a few videos.
I've tried installing the streaming server on windows 7 and my mac client worked just fine, so I believe that win server 2008 got some sort of configuration that is blocking the correct communication between software.
Since the software devs could not tell me what's wrong or how to fix it, I thought I might get some help here (kinda of a last hope thing). I have tried installing codecs, enabling desktop experience and nothing worked.
So, here is my question: Is there anything that windows server has that windows 7 do not that might be causing this scenerio?
Thanks,
Lucas

Hi,
Have you disabled the firewall on the windows server? The firewall may block the traffic if it isn’t configured properly.
If it still doesn’t work after disabling the firewall, please install the Network Monitor on the windows server and client. Then capture the traffic of the video when the server and windows7 runs your software.
Try to compare the traffic of windows server and windows7. Find out the difference between them.
To download Network Monitor, click the link below,
Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4

The following article is about how to use the Network Monitor,
