After upgrade to 10.9.3 - Finder don't open

Hi All,
After I upgrade OSX to 10.9.3 my finder don't open anymore or sometimes the finder screen open and close in a loop.
I tried to clean all system cache, but anything happens :-(
I cannot restore any backup because the problem didn't permit me to enter in timemachine.
Someone see something like this or have any advise ??
My MAC:
MacBook Pro
15-inch, Mid 2010
Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 288 MB / GT330M
Software OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Ubuntu Karmic authentication against Snow leopard open directory server

Hi,
I'm looking for help. I've tried to configure an installation of Karmic to authenticate against our office's open directory server running on an osx snow leopard server. Currently `getent password` show all users including those from the open directory server when running the command as both root and normal users. However authentication against the open directry users fails with the following messages in the /var/log/auth.log:-

Does anyone have any ideas where to go from here?

Hi
It's easy enough to 'connect' any version of OS X Server to any other version of OS X Server. Use the Join button in the Users & Groups Preferences Pane. Alternatively use the Directory Utility itself.
You seem to be misunderstanding what an Open Directory Master and Replica are? They are not what I think you think they are. They are not a 'back-up' of each other if you're providing more than the shared Directory Service.
An OD Replica maintains a read-only copy of the LDAP Database (Usernames, Passwords and Policies etc) that's stored on the OD Master and nothing more. If the Master was to go offline for any reason the Replica can be quickly promoted to a Master Role and continue to provide information for the shared directory. This assumes it has easy and quick access to the Volume storing networked home folders? The LDAP Database in that case would then become writable. Later on and whenever you've fixed the problem with the old Master it can quickly be demoted and made a Replica of the now new Master.
Although this is for 10.6 Server (it is nevertheless still applicable) everything you need to know about Master and Replica relationships is here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/OpenDirAdmin_v10.6.pdf
Page 55 onwards.
From Page 64:
"The Open Directory master and its replicas must use the same version of Mac OS X Server. . ."
If your OD Master is also providing Mail, Calendar and Contact Services then none of these will be replicated. You will have to maintain a backup of these databases yourself using whatever method you deem fit for your needs.
HTH?

Changing the Name of an Open Directory Server while preserving users, etc.

Hi Everyone,
Not an emergency - but I have been wrestling with this dilemma for almost a year now.
The good news is nothing has to be done right away. But I will ultimately need a solution.
We have inherited a server system at a traditional elementary school from a previous IT person who was immature to say the least.
When he set up the server system, he named the open directory server something that, while innocuous is inappropriate for a school setting. I am sure he thought it was clever and cheeky at the time. But a few years later it is simply unprofessional. And we are being expected to ultimately be able to change it so something like "XXXdirectory.domainname.edu" The more it hangs around - the longer it looks like we did this and it makes us look unprofessional.
So here is my dilemma.
This is an OD Master with iCal and network homes attached to it. It also runs DNS.
I would like to set up a new server and name it "xxxdirectory.schooldomainname.edu"
Setting up the new server is easy and getting all the client machines to bind to it - no problem.
The problem is how to migrate all the users to the new server. It seems a restore wont work because if the new server is named differently, the restore will fail. I also can't do a server migration because the stupid name migrates to the new server.
My old server is 10.5.8 Server. The new one is 10.7.1 Server . But could be 10.6.8 Server if need be.
The main problem is how do I get all the accounts onto a new server with a new OD master name?
I don't mind command line stuff. So throw whatever you got at me.
Thanks in advance for your help everyone. Don't worry - I won't be a pain in the butt or argue. I just need some good solid guidance, even if it is a "Not possible" answer - at least I have something to tell the administration when they want to know why we can't change the OD Master name from mcnugget.schoolname.edu.
Please let me know if you need more details. I am happy to provide.
Thanks again.
Tony

If you don't mind resetting everybodies password then you can export the users and groups and wipe the server for a clean install or turn it into a standalone server then back into od master then import the users and groups.

10.3.9 clients not working with 10.4.9 open directory server

I have a 10.4.9 server running open directory and managing about 20 10.4.9 clients. I am trying to have it manage our remaining 10.3.9 clients, but for whatever reason, I cannot seem to get the 10.3 clients to "attach" to the server.
I have the 10.3 clients set up in a computer list on the server, and in directory access I have it set to "get ldap mappings from server". At one point, it was suggested to me that I have the clients "get ldap mappings from open directory server". I tried this, and manually set the search base suffix. My search base suffix was "dc=example,dc=local". I even tried doing "cn=config,dc=example,dc=local" (where in both cases example.local was replaced with my real DNS name). Any suggestions on what else I could try to get this to work?

That's the odd thing though. I've done this with 10.4 no problem. Settings always worked. For some reason though, even though the clients are able to login using a network user, none of the preference settings sync.
For example - I always put a loginwindow message on as a sort of "test" to see if preferences are being set. If that works, then I rarely have a problem. No matter what I do, though, I cannot get the loginwindow message to display on the 10.3 clients. It works really well on 10.4, but not at all on 10.3. I've tried this on multiple 10.3 machines, as well, (and they're both based on different system images) but it still doesn't work. When I get back to work on Friday, I'll have to see if preferences will work for network users; that's the one thing I haven't tried.
Other than dumping the directoryaccess preferences, is there another preference setting that could be dumped on the client that may make it grab prefs from the server?

Scheduled Webi Reports Don't Open on iOS's MS Exchange Mail

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to write this post but I will try anyway.
We are using BO 4.0 SP6 and schedule webi reports as attached xlsx of pdf in e-mails.The problem is that the attached pdf's and excel files don't open right away in iPhone's native mail application when using MS Exchange. A tiny question mark shows up on the top corner of the attachment and when you tap on it, it asks which application to use to open it. We can choose iBooks app for example to view the file. We would like the attachment to open right away as we tap on it as it does usually.
Here are some test results:
-We have observed this issue on iOS 8. However, there are rumors that it started with iOS 7. Same rumors suggest that it would work fine before iOS 7.
-We use iOS' native mail application with a MS Exchange account set up.
-We have also tested it with a gmail account set up next to the exchange account. The attachment opened with no problem.
-If someone forwards the mail received from the BO server, to another exchange mail, the attachment opens just fine.
-We have no problem opening other exchange mails with attachments on mobile.
We suspect, the exchange mail can't confirm the sender address thus can't trust the attachment if it is really a pdf-excel file. So we tried scheduling the webi report with a valid mail address in the sender information box but it didn't work.
Has anyone came across such a problem?
I know this issue involve SAP, Apple and Microsoft and each one will point the other for the blame. But any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Emre,
Though this appears on Mobile, this belongs to Webi Product team. As the schedule of Webi reports and the email output would be controlled by them. They can work with Apple to identify the cause and fix the defect. Hence, you can post your question in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence
I would also recommend that you contact Webi Product Support through the official channel http://support.sap.com/incident

Acrobat distiller (first use) don't open PDF file what to do ?

Hi,
Acrobat distiller (first use) don't open PDF file and give this message (in french) : Erreur dans /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFX4 2008.joboptions : /CheckCompliance out of range Avertissement : Distiller ne traite pas les extensions de fichiers .PDF ou .JDF.
What should I do ?
Thanks for your reply.

No, Distiller does not do that job at all. Distiller makes PDF files, but it does not read them.
I am not sure what you are using: Distiller Server is finished as a product. Distiller comes with Acrobat also - this is not Distiller Server.
Acrobat Pro includes many tools for processing PDF files and can sometimes reduce file size. It can also convert to PDFX4 using Preflighting.

Why my Mozilla Firefox don't open?

I try open my Mozilla Firefox and don't open

I don't have "Modo Seguro"
Just do a song like a wrong way
How can I open or unistall Mozilla Firefox?
I need an urgent anwser please.

You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

10.4.8 open directory server 10.3.9 clients desktop

OK the 10.3.9 clients to my 10.4.2 open dir server could not find their home directory on login. I changed the contacts tab in the 10.3.9 directory access utility program which seemed to fix things - But things are not completely perfect:
upon login, the users custom desktop pattern is not loading.

Further to this problem.
I have down graded a machine to 10.4.3 and the same problem occurs. If I restart the machine the local user account is the only one that appears. I login through that and logout again the full list of netework users reappears. I can the n login as a network user, all files and folders are there all permissions seem to be respected and the user can wwork fine.
If you then logout and login to the local user and logout again network users are able to login again for perhaps 2 subsequent logins and then the machine hangs.
I had a look at my AFP error log which is normally empty and soome MMAP error entry, sorry I'm at home and doing this from memory.
I supose the ultimate answer is upgrade my server to 10.4.x but this being Botswana that could take a while. I could downgrade the Mini's to 10.3.9 but they don't seem to like that much either.
This is all a bit wierd as I tested this with a sample machine at 10.4.5 and .6 before upgrading the room.
Phoning Apple is not really an option here in Botswana so please feel free to wade in.
Also found the same problem at this URL http://lists.apple.com/archives/client-management/2006/Apr/msg00122.html

Three new groups in Open Directory Server

I noticed that my Open Directory server has three new groups in WGM,OD Users, OD Administators and com.apple.limited_admin. Should I treat these as I treated the other groups by assigning them members and group folders? I also noticed that now I have a System Administrator and a Directory Adminstrator, does that sound right? Should I keep both? Thanks

Ok, thanks, I had forgoten the "show system records" trick.
For the guest user, I don't see it in dscl.
So I suppose it's not a user, just an "anonymous" authentication option in the sharing preferences.
It's a bit like "others" in the posix rights permissions : User, group, other. User and group are existing and named, other are not named, it's just anybody that is not the named user and not a member of the named group.
To keep things understandable, you should use an other name if you wish to configure a "guest user"
You can manage the "enable guest account" option from WGM if you select a computergroup, in the preferences pane / login / options.
Hope it helps
Nicolas

There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.
Command-Option-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and shuts the machine down.

Attachment don't open en previewer is not working in Outlook 2013

When i get office attachments in an e-mail in outlook 2013 on a windows 8.1 pro.
The attachments don't open. And the previewer of outlook tels me that the content can not be previewed.
Any one any idea what can be the solution to open and preview these documents?

Hi,
Did you get any error message when you try to open attachments?
What's the file type of the attachments? Can you open and preview a Word or Excel attachment in Outlook? By default, Microsoft Outlook 2013 blocks potentially unsafe attachments (including .bat, .exe, .vbs, and .js files) that can contain
viruses.
In addition, please try to clean out the Temporary Outlook Files folder to check if it helps. See:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
Please let me know the result.

How do I close an open DNS Server

I have received an email from my internet provider stating I have an open DNS Server and my network has been used to attack other networks (DOS) Denial of service. I can't figure out how to secure my network. or close the open DNS server.

You should at least update your Mac to 10.6.8 although I am not sure there are any particular security issues that would be there.
Of course running later OS is always better.. as the latest security updates are implemented in the most recent OS.. but I am not sure one follows the other as some weaknesses are introduced as well in later OS. Any security updates should certainly be installed.
The main point is what modem and what router do you have?
There are a number of these notices being sent to users with apple routers which are hard to believe can be involved. It is more likely the ISP equipment. But we cannot really help you with exact details of your network .. or any more precise details the ISP has given you.
Ring up and talk to their technical help dept. and ask for their help. Even if they won't help you fix apple router.. put the modem in router mode or buy a new modem with router mode and change the apple router to bridge.. then the issue is not caused by you and the ISP can remotely adjust their own box.
