Not possible to connect with Mac OS X v10.6.2 via VPN to smb://nameserver

Hi al,
I have a MacBook Pro. At the company I can connect my MacBook Pro without problems via the LAN to the company servers by using smb://nameserver
At home I use a VPN connection to connect my MacBook Pro to the LAN at the company.
The VPN connection between home and company is working well, because I can “run” web-based applications, using htpp://xxxx.xx via Safari.
But the connection to the smb://nameserver is not working (in the past it worked well!) and I get the following message from Mac OS X : “Connection failed. The server “nameserver” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, an then try again.”
If I run, at home, the program “Parallel Desktops” I can make a VPN connection via Windows Vista, and connect to the same servers without problem.
Is there anybody who can help me?

Hi
If you're trying to connect using the server's name you have to know which host server to use to resolve the name. If you don't know simply use its IP address:
eg: instead of: smb://servername
use: smb://IPaddress (this would be the private non-routable IP address)
This should work? Depending which VPN Method you're using to Tunnel to the host network and how the host network is configed it may not do name resolution that well.
If it used to work in the past it may have been because a static entry for the host network's DNS Server was placed in your Network Preferences Pane? Or if your connection was via PPTP or L2TP appropriate LAN settings were assigned once the connection was made to the host site? In other words a set of IP addresses matching the host site's LAN IP topology.
Perhaps the current method you're using now of building the VPN Tunnel is via IPSec IKE/ISKAMP? In which case you may have to 'tell' your remote network which DNS Server to use at the host site for name resolution.
A possible reason why it 'works' for the Windows side is because name resolution - most of the time - gets by without using fully qualifiable domain names. For example pinging an IP address in DOS to find a name works (most of the time) if you simply supply just the server name. This is not necessarily the case on the mac.

Officejet not able to connect with MAC wirelessly but will connect to W7 PC

I have a 6700 Office jet and have it setup to print wirelessly with a W7 PC. The Mac will not connect to the printer wirelessly but will print via usb connection. Any hints?

Hi jecp,
It sounds like the router is not broadcasting the Bonjour protocol. The Mac uses Bonjour and the Windows uses DHCP. You may need to contact the Internet Service Provider (IPS), but you can try the steps below, I have seen success with a simple reboot.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable
Shut down the Mac, Click the Apple Icon and select Shut Down
Leave the router on and unplug the power cable, do not press any buttons
After one full minute, plug the router back in and wait for the lights to illuminate again and stedily
Plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light to become solid
Turn the computer back on
Now try to add the printer to the Print and Scan in System Preferences.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. I am happy to provide additional assistance if necessary.

Google Cloud Print not possible to connect with HP Printer

Hello,
I want to connect my Officejet 8600 printer with Google Cloud Print.
I write my [email protected] adress (without @hpeprint.com) in the field and enter, I got always the error message:
"Could not get printer information from HP."
Is there a Server Problem or is the problem, that HP changed from eprintcenter to hpconnected.com?
Can someone help me?
Regards
Oli

@Zephyr-750
Depending on which Officejet 8600 you have will depend on which Google Cloud Print path you will use. If you have the Officejet 8600 e-all in one then you will need to register it as an ePrint printer with your HP Connected account, take that ePrint address and register it with your Google Cloud Print account.
If you have an older Office jet 8600, then you will need to register it as a classic print, directly with the Google Cloud.
Please see this support document for more information.
As for your question regarding ePrint center and HP Connected. If you are located in the: United States, United Kingdom, France or Germany - you should be using HP Connected. If you are located in another other country - you should be using ePrint center.
Thank you.

Is it possible to connect a mac book pro via thunderbolt and a dvi switchbox (multiple computers) to a thunderbolt display?

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a thunderbolt display.Since I have not only apple computers with a thunderbolt port I wonder if it's possible to connect my mac book pro via thunderbolt and a DVI switchbox via a "mini displayport to DVI connector" to the thunderbolt display at the same time. Thunderbolt is a bus architecture. Thus there must be an ingoing and an outgoing port on the display. The rearview of the display I've seen so far don't show this:
If this is not possible then I must question the market chances of this product. Seems as if the product marketing guys exaggerated the launch of the thunderbolt technology.

How to connect windows laptop (vga) to thunderbolt display?
AHHH??!!!!!! Was that your original question?? I assumed you were trying to output FROM your computer (MacBook Pro w/ Thunderbolt) to the new display and then OUT to be the video source to a DVI switcher.
MB Pro w/TB ---> TB Display ---> mDP-to-DVI adapter ---> DVI switcher
So it seems as if it's not possible to use the thunderbolt display with the mini display port adapter to DVI you've mentioned.
I did not understand that you were trying to use other PC's into a switcher and then THAT Video source to connect INTO the TB display. If THAT is what you're trying to do, then NO.... You can NOT use the new TB Display to be used to display "FROM" a DVI switcher (and also can NOT be used to display from other Non-TB-Apple computers).
I've also called apple. The statement was that one needs a computer with osx 10.6.x in order to connect the thunderbolt display. That makes it impossible to hook a windows pc or older mac to the new and shiny thunderbolt display.
I wonder why apple doesn't state this in their technical descriptions...?
-ais-swiss
Actually, the state that information all over the Tech Specs on the Apple Store website.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC914LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Here are two different statements from that webpage:
So yes.... other NON-Apple PC's (or non-TB devices) do Not have the Thunderbolt technology (hardware/software) to be able to communicate with the TB display or other TB devices.

Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB ?

Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB just like Firewire back in the day via Target mode or is there something similar? I am asking this because about 2-3 years ago I would normally image Macs via Target Mode. I used to have a regular Macbook running 10.6 along with a customized-ready-to-go .dmg image saved on the Desktop. Whenever I needed to put that image into any Mac I would simply connect the two Macs via Firewire, I would then press "T" at startup which will get me in Target Mode, I would then see the disk appear in the desktop of the Mac I had the image. I would then copy that image to the T mode macbook using super duper. Can this still be done through USB with new models and if so will I also need to press T at startup ?

No, USB connection does not qualify for this, only firewire and thunderbolt, as I read (but cannot test, for the time being I have only one such mac around).
This is why the short series of alu MBs (2008) are not qualified for target mode either.
p.s. What ‘new models’ do you refer to?

Genius bar told me to erase the harddisk and install OSX Maverick again. This has not changed the problems with the system settings

You need to Repartition the drive as One partition which will erase all data from it and then reinstall OS X. then with the initial setup system you chose the language on the first screen that comes up. That sets the language for the whole system.
There is no other way of completely removing certain information created by a previous owner. this hold strue whether you are selling or give a Mac to someone.
To do the repartitioning you need to use the Online Internet Recovery system, if the Mac came with Lion 10.7 or above, or from the original system reinstall discs that came with it when it was new.

Could not establish secure connection with server

Hi ,
We are not able to access our web service URL from Ipad Application on some of the network. We are receiving “could not establish secure connection with the server” message. We are able to access the same URL from other networks. Can you please suggest what can be possible Root cause and their suggested solution? We would appreciate your quick response..

hi Alfonso,
Editing the hosts file is easy. just need to use the CAS/CAM CLI and the vi test editor. You can google for instructions on how to use Vi.
To start assume we have a CAM and CAS with the hostname cam1 and cas1 respectively. the domain is mycompany.com and the ip addresses for the CAM and CAS is 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.15.2 respectively.
start with the CAM and view the hosts table
cat /etc/hosts
To check what domain u used to setup the CAM
cat /etc/resolver.conf
edit the hosts file so appears like so
192.168.10.1 cam1.mycompany.com cam1
192.168.15.2 cas1.mycompany.com cas1
Verify with 'cat /etc/hosts'
Make sure you can ping 'cas1' and 'cas1.mycompany.com' from cam1
Next edit the hosts file for cas1 so that it appears like so
192.168.15.2 cas1.mycompany.com cas1
192.168.10.1 cam1.mycompany.com cam1
Make sure you can ping 'cam1' and 'cam1.mycompany.com' from cas1

Doesn't play songs, "itunes is not configured for use with mac-formatted"??

Hi, new ipod shuffle. Seems to charge fine, all indicator lights function as expected. Everything looks fine in itunes. But it doesn't play songs. I have the most recent versions of itunes and the ipod software. Re-set, updated, and restored, nothing works. Even restored using the restore utility. Re-started computer. Checked for volume control. Won't play songs. Tried different file types. Songs play fine from itunes library and from the device's library within itunes. Tried different headphones. Hooked it up to computer speakers. Turning volume all the way up on device and speakers, heard some very faint rhythmic static, so my guess is the jack socket (or whatever you call it) is just messed up, but it seems weird that it can transfer power and data to the device but doesn't work for sound...
The only other issues that have come up is that the drive disappears in explorer once it syncs with itunes. Other people who've noticed this seem to have completely different problems so I don't think it's related.
Also, I have MacDrive on my computer. And when it starts up with the ipod plugged in, MacDrive offers the message "Itunes is not configured for use with Mac-formatted ipods." It offers to automatically reconfigure itunes so it can read mac-formatted ipods. Since I've restored the device, I don't see why formatting should be an issue so I say "no."
Should I try letting macdrive do its format thing? Should I try formatting the ipod disk on the My Computer menu? Or should I just email apple and tell them the jack's busted?
Thanks for any thoughts!

Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?
I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's iPod. However it will play about 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next song.
If there is anyone out there that can help please do!

Datareader is not able to connect with database-Urgent

Hi All,
All of a sudden the Datareader component in my ML experiment is not able to connect with database with the following error:
[ModuleOutput] DllModuleHost Error: 1 : Program::Main encountered fatal exception: Microsoft.Analytics.Exceptions.ErrorMapping+ModuleException: Error 0000: Internal error ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentException: The value's length for key 'password' exceeds it's limit of '128'.
Module finished after a runtime of 00:00:00.2031339 with exit code -2
Module failed due to negative exit code of -2
It complains about the password being long-but the same credentials I have been using for the last 2 months and still able to use it to run sql queries on that same database using the management portal.
It appears that Azure encrypts the password and that encrypted password is too long...just my guess after looking that the output.Inside Ml it just says as internal error
Would appreciate if someone can point to the issue at the earliest...(There is a demo early next week)

Hi,

which is an experiment which I created doing save as of the experiment in which the data reader works.
I stripped everything except the data reader and setup the rest of the components...I finally have to write the results back ,so also pulled a Writer component.
Now,the data reader works fine..but the Writer fails:
Error 0071: Incorrect username "acnadmin" or password is passed
Strangely,its the same credentials set in the DataReader.
Looks like all the DataInput/Output components created recently only have the problem.
Once again,while the datareader in this case passes the password in plain text,the writer encrypts,hence fails.

I am not able to connect with Itunes Match. I constantly receive the message error 4010

I am not able to connect with Itunes Match. I constantly receive the error 4010.

I can run the general "Update iTunes Match" from the menu but cannot add individual tracks by right-clicking (control-clicking) on them the way I usually do. Then I get the 4010 error message.
Based on other posts here, I can assume the problem is not just me.

button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Resetting network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.
