Not issuing IP addresses to all macs???

Hi all,
Please help, our OSX server has stopped issuing IP addresses via DHCP to some of our macs. We have about 15 macs in the company and about 7 of them are not getting an IP address. If I put a manual IP address in I can get access to the server but no access to internet. All the other macs seem fine.
Can somebody shed any light on this as it's driving me mad!
I have never used OSX server before so I don't know much about it - sorry.
Thanks in advance
Brett

Brett,
I am definately not an expert either but I had a similar problem... I have two ethernet ports on my xserve and I discovered I had indicated to the Server Admin / DCHP settings to use the wrong ethernet port to handle the distribution of IP addresses. Once I switched that the previously "lost" macs found addresses immediately.
Hope this helps.

ICloud not syncing with Address Book on Mac

I've updated my Address Book and now it won't sync to iCloud, which means my contacts are no longer on my iphone either. Why won't iCloud sync with the address book on my computer?

Wanted to post an update for those of you who use Entourage for contacts, have iCloud, and like to sync with your iPhone.
I have Entourage set to update to the Address Book (Entourage Preferences - Sync Services - Sync to Address Book - Combine Data) and after fixing the original problem noted above, I later decided to have my iphone backed up and synced through iCloud.
Well - iCloud and Entourage don't play nice together - so none of my contacts were updating either direction and I had duplicates in Address Book again. Apple did not have answers for me when I called, so I spent the day trying to fix it and came up with the following and figured I'd pay it forward and post for anyone else with the same issue.
The only option at this time is to sync your Contacts with iTunes instead. Even though Entourage used to update wirelessly with MobileMe - it does not work with iCloud due to different CalDav systems. You can still do iPhone backups and sync your calendars and photos over iCloud (which I am still doing), but Contacts just won't work.
Steps:
1. Backup your good list of contacts somewhere (I ensured everything on Entourage was right and did an archive)
2. To be extra safe, be sure you have a good phone back up too (either over iCloud or iTunes)
3. Uncheck sync to Address Book in Entourage
4. Delete everything in Address Book and uncheck sync/account to iCloud
5. Go into System Preferences - iCloud, and uncheck sync Contacts. When it asks you if you want to delete what's on your mac - you can say yes - it will not delete anything in Entourage. By now all your contacts in Address Book, iCloud and on your phone should be gone (it's scary I know)
6. Go to your phone settings - iCloud and turn off Contacts there too
7. Entourage - Preferences - Sync Services - turn on syncing with Address Book/Mobile Me (I chose to Combine data assuming this would allow data to travel both directions in the future). It should populate address book in just a minute or two
8. Plug your phone into your computer and open iTunes
9. Check "Sync Contacts" and hit Apply. I'd suggest syncing it right there with your phone plugged in.
After that, you can either sync each time you plug in and open iTunes, or you can sync over your own wifi network when your phone is plugged in. It will not sync over any wifi like it used to do with MobileMe - so still far from an optimum solution, but hopefully Apple and/or Entourage will fix this soon. The only other solution I could think of was to switch to Mail & Contacts since I like to use them both in same place, but I really didn't want to do that (mail isn't that great and I didn't want to take the time to make the switch).
If anyone has anything better to suggest, please let us know!!!

My icloud Contacts do not match my address book all contacts .. I an trying to synchronize icloud with outlook .. it does not appear to synchronize current address book with icloud

I setup icloud to sychronize with outlook ... I have been sychronizing with gmail contacts so the 2 do not match.
I would like to have one contacts file that synchronizes with outlook. How do I make the contacts file on my iphone synchronize with the icloud then with outlook?
Ernie

Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1. iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
result - both addresses books and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook. (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

TC not issuing dchp address

Recently, i just configured my time capsule and everything was working fine until lately. I have altogether 10 Mac/iOS devices. 2 days ago, my son noticed that his iPhone and iPad was getting intermittent or slow transmission from Time Capsule. My own iPad had similar problem. The wireless signal was strong though. After doing turing the WIFI button on/off, restarting TC or ipad and Phones, it seemed like I managed to get my son phone/ipad to work normally.
However, my iPad continued to have problem where it detected the TC WIFI signal but failed to connect to internet. After further checking, I now realised that it didn't manage to get a DHCP address from the TC. I tried the to renew the DHCP lease as well but didn't work as well. What can I do? Thanks.
Regards
ray

What model TC and how old is it?? The actual model number will help, A1xxx from the base.
See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6324708?tstart=0 for how to find the number.
The firmware revision could also help.
And the network layout. Is the TC the main router in the network?
Screenshots help no end.
Simple solution.. start over. Factory reset the TC.
Please do not use apple recommended names.. use names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security and a pure alphanumeric password of 8-20 characters unless you are paranoid.

iMovie'11 is programed to come with all macs. I just recently got mine fixed and it's not on there anymore. How do I get it back on my mac?

KarenHimmel,
iMovie ’11 is not programmed to come with all Macs — it didn’t come with my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
Presuming that your Mac is newer than mine, have you checked to see if you can download iMovie ’11 gratis from the Mac App Store?

APs not getting IP addresses on Server 2008r2

Has anyone seen this? We had about 30 APs drop off the network after a controller upgrade and had to be manually assigned an address. We found that the APs are DHCP and have a reservation in the excluded range of the scope. In the new version of DHCP in Server 2008r2, even with a reservation in an excluded range, DHCP will not issue those addresses to clients. Deleting the reservation and letting the AP find a valid address in the range didn't work either.

Where are your APs? Are they directly connected to your 2106, or are they connected to a switch like normal?
Assuming connected to a switch, the WLC config is irrelevant to an AP getting an IP address. Whatever vlan your APs are in, they'll do a broadcast dhcp request and you'll need an ip helper-address or something to get it to your dhcp server..............
So do you see any kind of dhcp request make it to your server?
If this is directly connected APs, then perhaps someone else on the forum can share thier experience with this?

Problems Migrating from Entourage 2004 to All-Mac Apps (Mail, Address Bk)

Greetings All,
Background: After careful consideration, I've moved from a Treo 650 and Entourage 2004 scenario to the new iPhone and all-Mac Apps platform.
It hasn't gone easily: lots of missing, critical data (below).
I don't understand why thousands of business people aren't posting about this: my data is invaluable, and compromised by chunks of it missing.
I have now spent about 15 hours researching this, and posted in several Google Groups. It's rather tedious, and I have lots of friendly people answering rather than people with answers. I like friendly people, but seriously, I'd rather have a hostile person who knows how to do this at this point.
I have read in several places of the scripts of a Paul Berkowitz called "Export-Import Entourage 1310," but the documentation provided doesn't make clear these issues are addressed.
I have written (five times) Mark/Space regarding their Missing Sync for the iPhone, but they have reading-comprehension issues, and I'm still not clear if they can get the notes from either my old Treo 650 via it into my iPhone.
Here is what is missing:
a) Can Paul's scripts (or anyone's!) re-export/merge Contacts such
that categorized/grouped are preserved? This is of great importance.
b) Will it export Entourage's notes, and will they be
correctly titled, and in a useful place on the iPhone? (I have about
400 notes), again categorized?
c) Any way to export my Entourage filters/rules to Apple's Mail?
d) Any way to export the large *mailing lists* (groups) I had in
Entourage to Apple's Mail?
Thank you in advance for your informed answers, and I must say that this has been as annoying as Apple thinking we can't figure that when AT&T raised the rates, the savings on the new phone was wiped out.
Think Better, Apple. If you're trying to get us to use your platform, document how to make the switch.
Thanks,
km

Hey Kevin, sorry for the deafening silence. I can trade you two possible solutions for your secret elegant solution, how about that?
It turns out I have done the exact same thing you've done: I'm going from Entourage 2004/Treo 680 to Apple apps/Toodledo/iPhone. (Getting rid of Entourage altogether has more to do with the difficulty of using Entourage for my small business on the Mac than the iPhone switch.)
So, there are 2 Applescripts available that deal with moving contact groups and categories to the Mac Address Book.
The first is a script from Paul Berkowitz called Sync-Entourage Address Book. This script was developed before Microsoft turned on Sync Services within Entourage, and was intended to fill that gap. It purportedly can copy over contacts, categories and groups from Entourage to Address Book. It has special features for handling both categories and groups simultaneously. The latest version available is from Feb. 2006, and purports to work with Panther and Tiger, but there's no info on whether it works with Leopard. Also, there's no telling whether it will work simultaneously with Apple sync services. (I would guess not.) Berkowitz is not answering emails or responding in Microsoft forums anymore; according to one of the other Entourage MVPs, he is too busy with his day job, so this is apparently all the information there is. If you want to take a chance, the script is here:
http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/69/wo/1XKAw6Pv2qUMw3xZ.1/0.2. 1.2.26.31.97.9.35.0.1.1.1?user=berkowit28&fpath=Sync%20Entourage-Address%20Book& templatefn=FileSharing.html
There is another (free!) Applescript from a guy named Jon Nathan called Sync Entourage & AB Groups, that syncs Groups only. It is designed to work with Apple Sync Services, and Nathan has written me that it is up-to-date and does work with Leopard. He also wrote me that you can get an idea of how long it will take in this fashion:
"If you open the script in the Script Editor, switch to the "Event Log" tab
at the bottom of the script window, then run the script from here by
clicking the "Run" button, you can watch in real time as it processes your
contacts and you can get a sense of how long it will take to process your
contacts. This will take some time with that many contacts & groups so it's
probably best to run it while you can do something else like eat lunch."
Nathan's script is available here:
http://www.jonn8.com/html/SyncEntourageABGroups.html
So, some answers to your questions about note exporting from Entourage:
For tasks and notes, I decided to use two iPhone apps from a company called Appigo: Todo and Notebook. Both apps store tasks and notes locally on the iPhone, interact with each other, and can sync to a Web service called Toodledo. Toodledo can import CSV files to their (under-featured, hopefully to be improved) Web notebook, and from there, you can bring them into Notebook on the iPhone. (Notebook works great on the iPhone and you will be loving it a lot more that the Memo app on your Palm, trust me.) In Toodledo, Todo and Notebook, you use folders in place of the categories you had in Entourage, for both tasks and notes.
Unfortunately, I had a very frustrating time getting my 300+ notes out of Entourage using Berkowitz's import-export scripts, but I did figure it out, and can save you some time if your interested. (You will need TextWrangler in addition to the Berkowitz scripts.)
As far as tasks go, I only have about 30, so it was no big deal to enter them by hand in Toodledo and bring them onto the iPhone with Todo. (FYI, Toodledo's basic Web service is free, you pay an annual subscription fee if you want your stuff encrypted on their servers.)
The Toodledo developer has an active forum, and the Appigo guys have Google Groups for both apps. Both Appigo and Toodledo respond directly and quickly to feature requests, questions, etc.
So how's that? What you got for me?

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Excel files not available across an all mac network

All the excel files in my public folder are not accessible across a two machine all Mac network. Word files will open. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

I know this is going to sound weird, but I spent the last two days figuring this out. I recently bought the teacher's Edition of Office 2004 so I could have the same version of Office on 3 of my Macs and after installation that's when Excel quit working over my home network. The previous versions of Office up to X didn't exhibit this behavior. So after looking at Apple's and Microsoft's sites and user groups and getting no answer that worked, I looked at my machines to see what the differences might be. The thing that tripped my trigger was two of my Macs had the same named hard drive and one didn't, and it was that one that was named differently that could see one of the other two. So look at the name under your hard drive icons (by default it's named Macintosh Hard Drive). If they are the same, rename one of them (the name can be anything just as long as it's not Macintosh Hard Drive). I would name them something to differentiate them like Will's iBook or Will's iMac. I don't have a programmers understanding of why this worked, but my scientific wild *** guess (S.W.A.G) is it's an Excel naming convention gaffe. It appears that Excel thinks there are no others on the network because all the hard drives are named the same. Word doesn't do this so I'm guessing that instead of looking for m.a.c. addresses or your network DNS/IP numbers, Excel is looking for hard drive names to distinguish users on the network. If I'm anywhere close to right, this is really dumb! Try it and see if this solves you problem.

Blocking all MAC addresses except for the ones you allow

I have a Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Point. I want to block all MAC addresses from accessing the access point, except for the ones I've allowed. First I went to the Address Filters page and clicked on Allowed, then listed all the MAC address I want to be able to access the access point. Then I went to the Ethernet Advanced page, and set the Default Multicast Address Filter to Disallowed, and the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Then I went to the AP Radio: Internal Advanced page, clicked on the Advanced Primary SSID Setup link, and set the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Accept Authentication Type is set to Open with Shared and Network-EAP cleared, and the Require EAP check boxes are all cleared.
When using a computer whose MAC address is not listed on the Address Filters page, I am still able to connect to the network through the access point. I am also able to connect to the access point from any pc on my network by entering its IP address in Internet Explorer.
What do I need to do to block any pc without a listed MAC address from connecting to the access point?
Thanks, Jeff

Here's the instructions and URL on how to create an MAC based filter:
Follow these steps to create a MAC address filter:
Step 1 Follow the link path to the Address Filters page.
Step 2 Type a destination MAC address in the New MAC Address Filter: Dest
MAC Address field. You can type the address with colons separating the character pairs
(00:40:96:12:34:56, for example) or without any intervening characters (004096123456, for example).
Note If you plan to disallow traffic to all MAC addresses except
those you specify as allowed, put your own MAC address in the list of allowed MAC
addresses. If you plan to disallow multicast traffic, add the broadcast MAC address
(ffffffffffff) to the list of allowed addresses.
Step 3 Click Allowed to pass traffic to the MAC address or click Disallowed
to discard traffic to the MAC address.
Step 4 Click Add. The MAC address appears in the Existing MAC Address
Filters list. To remove the MAC address from the list, select it and click Remove.
Step 5 Click OK. You return automatically to the Setup page.
Step 6 Click Advanced in the AP Radio row of the Network Ports section at
the bottom of the Setup page for the radio you want to configure. The AP Radio Advanced page appears.
