Mac OS X Leopard hates my domain address (apparently)
I've had my Mac since December and up until a few weeks ago it had no problem going to any of the websites I own. Problem now is that it refuses to go to them if I use my actual domain address. The sites are blogs that I bought domain names for, but the bookmarks I have had all along no longer work and neither does typing in the actual domain address, BUT if I type in the much longer blogspot-style address my Mac will then connect. My domain server says it's a problem with my ISP, but that doesn't make sense since I can connect with my Windows PC without issue. Why won't my Mac go to my domain names anymore???
Er, that should look like:

It seems that the short-form is the address of a service that provides an HTTP redirect for you, so it will only work when using HTTP, and not if you have a plugin (like an Ad blocker or something) that will prevent the redirect. There's no native feature in OS X that would prevent the redirect -- unless it timed out at your ISP and your ISP gave you a bogus page rather than failed the lookup. If that's the case, you probably need to clear your browser cache.

Mac OS X Leopard STILL hates my domain address (apparently)
Hi again,
I was getting some help from a member when they asked me about "dig" in "terminal" I figured out what they meant and posted but haven't heard anything. With as many posts that come through I imagine it's hard to keep up but I have the info if anyone can help me figure out why my Mac won't go to domain addresses that I own.
ThanksIt's hard to say what browser setting is causing your problem, though I'd guess it's a cookie.
If you're using Safari, first try Safari -> Reset Safari. A window of stuff to reset will pop up. Make sure everything is checked, and click Reset. This will clear just about everything Safari knows about you, except your bookmarks. If that doesn't fix it, then we'll probably need to find and delete some Safari preference files.
If you're using a different browser, see if it has a similar "reset everything" option. -

Please help! What is wrong?You are probably going to want to upgrade your memory (RAM). While 2 GB is the stated minimum, realistically 4 GB seems to be the consensus minimum. More is better.
The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

TungstenE2 to Mac 10.5 Leopard -Installers won't work -
The installers ,Mac revisions for Leopard will not let me load any software. I can hotsync,I can get basic palm stuff to go on but I can't get anything new on. It says proper installers not loaded onto palm. Is there a new,new revision for Mac that I can be steered to? Thanks
Post relates to: Tungsten E2Hi
It should not take more than an hour and a half from putting the installer disk into the drive, letting it install, providing relevant information at the Setup Assistant phase to getting to the Desktop. Thereafter 20-40 minutes to download and install all relevant updates followed by a double restart and you should be starting to configure the DNS Service in roughly two hours.
Can you humour us and go through the procedure you used (what you actually did) from the Setup Assistant stage? For the purposes of your response detail what you did when choosing Advanced. I understand your frustration but it really should not be that difficult. Perhaps there are some key concepts you don't fully understand the implications of? For your mail config try not to obscure your domain name please.
Failing that there must be some intermittent hardware faults on all three of the units you used. Which is unlikely. The fact you got it installed on two yet the mail service showed the same fault on both occasions suggest - and I don't mean anything by this - a misconfiguration on your part somewhere or a lack of understanding on what is required?
Have you tried downloading and reading relevant admin manuals?
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/
Have you tried browsing these forums for relevant advice on how to start from scratch and what is involved? Seriously there are plenty of threads that walks you through the whole process or at the least should give you some idea on how to approach the whole thing.
Please note any advice I give or may give is only applicable to Advanced. If you are choosing either of the other two offerings I can't help you.

Mac OS X Leopard Firewall/default open ports rpcbind?
Hi,
I'm looking into hardening/securing mac os x leopard and noticed that port 111 rpcbind is open. Is rpcbind open by default? What are leopards default open ports on a fresh install?
Also is there any way to run openbsd/freebsd PF firewall?

Mac OS X Leopard Wiki not editable by Firefox 4.0.1
We are running Mac OS X Leopard with the latest updates. When cklicking on the edit button on a wiki page in Firefox 4.0.1 the edit toolbar appears, however the content does not become editable and it is not possible to change it. Does anybody know how to address that issue without telling users to use a different browser?
Thanks, Gregaone thing I see right away is that your computer does not meet min reqs for leopard. leopard requires at least 512MB RAM and you've got just 256MB. In fact, I recommend you get at least 1 MB of RAM if you plan to run any programs at all besides the OS itself. this might be the reason why you are getting kernel panics and can not boot from the DVD.

Mac OS X doesn't recognize Internet addresses starting with "lastfm:".
I am running Safari 5.0.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
I am unable to open my last.fm radio streams in the browser. I receive the message:
Safari can’t open the specified address.
Safari can’t open “lastfm://user/tivorion/recommended” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “lastfm:”.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.It seems addresses starting with lastfm:// are opened in the Last.fm Scrobbler.
To listen to my radio streams, I had to go to http://www.last.fm/listen
Problem solved. -
How to add a Mac Mini device to the windows domain
Hi,
I want to add my Mac Mini machine to a windows domain. Is it possible to add it? I have tried but it is not working. It asks for Client ID While joining to a windows domain. I have given MAC address, IP address and hostname of Windows server but it is not working. Please do help me out to sort out the issue.
Regards,
Ram_LiviaHi BDAqua,
Why should we create a user again? The point is I am going to join this Mac Mini to a windows domain controller. Windows domain controller means a centralized database of an organization. It is communicating with my Domain controller. But the issue is it is not founding my domain node while joining to a domain. Please find the attached screen shots for your reference. If you have worked on this please send me step by step configuration. -
Strange "loopback device" actions on Mac OS X Leopard
Hi all,
I want to explain my little problem to you, hoping someone can give me an answer:
from about a week I'm trying to develop an application that use pylibpcap (a python extension of pcap library) to sniff packets on a pc on ethernet and examine udp packets sniffed.
This python program works very well on LAN, on two different computers (1Gnu/Linux and 1Mac), but if I try to make it work on loopback device (both server program and client program), some strange things happen.
The client simply do this:
*bunnybox:~ alex$ python*
*Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct 5 2007, 21:08:09)*
*GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin*
*Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.*
*>>> import socket*
*>>> s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)*
*>>> s.connect(("127.0.0.1",23))*
*>>> s.send("try to send this")*
16
Listening on loopback device (lo0) with Wireshark (a Sniffer Program), it returns (this is the exported log):
*No. Time Source Destination Protocol Info*
*11 2.840622 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UDP Source port: 49256 Destination port: telnet [UDP CHECKSUM INCORRECT]*
*Frame 11 (48 bytes on wire, 48 bytes captured)*
Null/Loopback
*Internet Protocol, Src: 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1), Dst: 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)*
*User Datagram Protocol, Src Port: 49256 (49256), Dst Port: telnet (23)*
*Data (16 bytes)*
*0000 74 72 79 20 74 6f 20 73 65 6e 64 20 74 68 69 73 try to send this*
*As you can see, there is a problem on UDP checksum.*
But if I try the same command on a different computer on my LAN,
for example: a Gnu/Linux Box of Address: 192.168.1.20 (Mac OS X has address: 192.168.1.100),
this is the python code:
*alex@boxxolo ~ $ python*
*Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 28 2007, 15:48:55)*
*GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)] on linux2*
*Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.*
*>>> import socket*
*>>> s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)*
*>>> s.connect(("192.168.1.100",23))*
*>>> s.send("try to send this")*
16
and this is the result sniffed by Wireshark on Mac Os X Leopard Computer (this is the exported log):
*No. Time Source Destination Protocol Info*
*4953 57.558319 192.168.1.20 192.168.1.100 UDP Source port: filenet-tms Destination port: telnet*
*Frame 4953 (60 bytes on wire, 60 bytes captured)*
*Ethernet II, Src: 00:e0:18:29:74:28 (00:e0:18:29:74:28), Dst: 00:19:e3:43:85:e8 (00:19:e3:43:85:e8)*
*Internet Protocol, Src: 192.168.1.20 (192.168.1.20), Dst: 192.168.1.100 (192.168.1.100)*
*User Datagram Protocol, Src Port: filenet-tms (32768), Dst Port: telnet (23)*
*Data (16 bytes)*
*0000 74 72 79 20 74 6f 20 73 65 6e 64 20 74 68 69 73 try to send this*
As you can see, no errors on UDP Checksum, datagram correctly received and no problems.
*NOTE: don't care about port 23, because no telnet or other services are listening on it, it's only a closed port.*
I don't know if it's a bug of loopback device (lo0),
or a bug of Python's Socket, or pcap problem..
Hope someone can give me an answer,
PS: If this is not an appropriate place to publish this type of question, please tell me where I can.
Have a nice day,
Alessandro.Hi,
Have you receive some answers about your problem because I have the same ...

Hosting website on Your own Mac or Mac OSX Snow Leopard Server?
I have been looking at ways of hosting my websites on my own Mac - how could I do this other than purchasing a copy of Mac OSX Snow Leopard Server?
I know you can turn on file sharing, but how can you display your sites?
Can you host more than one site with domain names and does this mean that you would be able to ditch web hosting with a company if the sites were hosted on Mac or Mac OSX Server?
Thanks for any help that anyone can give me with this.Ethmoid wrote:

The key appears to be turning on Web Sharing within Sys Pref's Sharing pane.

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!

Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?
If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated. Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
SELLING A MAC A
Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
Selling an Old Mac:
• When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
• Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
Internet Recovery:
• In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
• Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
iLife Apps:
• When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
• Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
• It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
SELLING A MAC B
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
side.
4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
sure to opt for that.
Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
4. Install OS X.
5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
6. Shutdown the computer.
B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
it is three times faster than wireless.
1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
Utilities window appears.
2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License. -
HELP !
After I upgraded my operating system on my mac, (from Snow Leopard (10.6 ? ) to Mountain Lion (10.8.2), virtually ALL of my documents (recipes, update logs, information of untold things), have been denied to me with my Microsoft Word for Mac (which I have used since I purchased my mac in Aug.2008).
I now get a window that tells me "You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." (Needless to say, I cannot use Excel or anything else, either!)
Yet, I can still access them, fully (read and even print fro them), individually, by dragging a file into my PREVIEW program!
What gives?
I am not a savvy programmer, nor do I confess to somehow being warned that this might happen when I upgraded my operating system.
Is there any reasonable (easier?) way to continue the use of these (to me) very important files? I only upgraded because I upgraded my iPhone to a 4S and wanted everything to conform to siimilar circumstances!
What can I DO?You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
