Macbook pro with OS 10.6.4 cannot join Windows SBS 2008 .local domain

Hi,
I just had a windows SBS 2008 installed and it controls a .local domain where all my Windows7 PC's are connected to. I can access the internet wired/wirelessly but i cannot see any of the computers on the network at all, thus i cannot share files or share the printer which is connected to one of the local PC's.
I have read many threads indicating possible fixes but no one has been able to give me a permanent solution. Is this inability to connect my MAC to the SBS 2008 local domain fixable from my MAC or is it to be resolved from the SBS 2008 side? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,
Download the combo update (don't install it yet): http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1400
SafeBoot your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
While in SafeBoot install the combo update
Restart the computer to come out of SafeBoot
Try running software update again and see if it works.
Hope that helps.

    Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get internet pages to load on my WiFi network at home. My iMac, iPhone and iPad all work on this network.  It is connected to the net as dropbox registers a connection and so does skype. I can connect to the WiFi in work and on other networks when travelling. However, some other networks are now starting to fail. Can anyone suggets how I can fix it, as the MBP appears to be fine, its updated with all the latest versions of software and the WiFi network is also fine....just not with my MBP??

  • I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing.  There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture.  This worked fine on OS10.7.5.  Problem??

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Just bought a new Macbook Pro with OS 10.8.2.  Had windows.  I have literally 1,000's of tunes in .wma.  How can I transfer them or otherwise play them on new Mac?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro with OS x 10.8.2 because my PC died.  I have well over 3,000 tunes and they are WMA and WAV.  Can anyone help me with advice to convert them to iTunes format (MP3).

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Macbook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Windows install advice

    I find myself after 20 years using mac's needing to run a windows program. I have Macbook pro 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo and was wondering if anyone can tell me if parallels or fusion works better on this machiene. Also i see some folks here feel Windows 7 is  the way to go. Any advice would be appreciated.
    tks  in advance for any advice
    -R-

    A lot of the answer really depends upon you and your usage.
    VMWare Fusion, and Parallels Desktop both work well, nad each ahs its strengths and weaknesses.  I have used Fusion v3, 4, & 5, as well as Parlallels v 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8.  I got my first copy of Parallels when I got my first MacBook Pro as a bundle deal along with a Windows XP Pro license.  For my usage, I find that Parallels seems to be more "efficient" (it runs a little faster) but Fusion seems to be a bit more stable, and supports a slightly broader collection of hardware peripherals.  Luckily for you, both packages offer a free trial before you buy the software, so you can test them both to see which works best for you.  You could also consider using VirtualBox (a free tool much like Fusion or Parallels), or even Boot Camp if you need the "raw power" of running the system in native mode with no emulation overhead.
    As for What version of Windows you run, it would really depend upon what licenses you have, and what your Windows software requires.  some Windows software still requires Windows XP, some requires Windows 7 or later.  Since you didn't mention your Windows app, I can't say for it.
    In the end, it depends upon you, what you want, what you need, and what you are willing to pay for.

  • Installing Windows XP on a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina display and need to install Windows XP on it so that I may run 3 Windows programs.  I have watched a few videos on the internet on how to do this through Boot Camp Assistant, and it says at one point to use the driver CD from Mac to install the drivers.  I did not get any CD's with my new MacBook Pro.  I also saw on some of these boards that said Boot Camp does not support Windows XP.  The people at the Apple store said it can run Windows XP, so I have ordered an original version. 
    Question 1.  Does my MacBook Pro with Retina Display running OS X version 10.8.3 able to run Windows XP?
    Question 2.  How do I install the drivers?

    Would this work? And also, what is the VM I need?  Where do I get it?

  • Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

    Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
    It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
    I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
    So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
    I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
    I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
    I am running Lion 10.7.3.
    Regards,
    Nicolas.
    (I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

    You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
    First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

  • I cannot mirror my macbook pro with my tv,there is no tab to select in display settings

    i cannot mirror my macbook pro with apple tv,there is no tab to select in display settings

    That's because the mirror setting, known as Airplay does not work with Mac OS X 10.7.5.
    You need 10.8 or later and a
    AirPlay Mirroring is available with iPad 2 or later; iPad mini; iPhone 4s; iPhone 5; iPod touch (5th generation); and iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer) with Mountain Lion.
    Source:
    https://www.apple.com/airplay/
    Note, Mac OS X 10.9.2 has issues with Airplay, and is the only really secure version of 10.9 at the present time.
    Alternatives to the 10.8 restriction, and 10.9 are listed here:
