Problem with AppleWorks documents when connecting via ftp to my server

When I connect over the internet using ftp to my mac mini server (using OS X server 10.4.10) from my iMac G4 (using 10.4.10) all my AppleWork docs will only appear as .bin instead of .cwk.
If I download one to my G4, it will try to open using stuffit expander but cannot be opened. It comes up with “An error ocurred attempting to expand name.bin unspecified Stuffit Engine internal error” Error #17999
However Microsoft Word docs show correctly and can be downloaded and opened without problem.
When I try directly on the server or try from any computer on the local network conected to the server, everthing views correctly and can be opened.
Could it be to do with any settings on the server when connecting by ftp.
Thanks for the help.

One problem still remains that when I download minicad files (which uses OS 9) they show up as .exe and will not open or recognisable by the programme
I imagine the file is transferring without a suffix and your computer is trying to guess what it is; hence the .exe. Delete this and append the suffix for the correct program and it should open (or use File>Open within the program).

Sharepoints not displayed when connecting via FTP

Hi All,
Leopard Server 10.5.8 xserve 2 G5
I have an issue with the built in FTP server.
All my share point are set to be shared via FTP, yet they are not displayed when users log in and access the server via FTP.
In Server Admin, Authenticated users see: FTP Root and Share Points.
All relevant users have access to the FTP service, in the server settings.
ACL permissions have been set correctly for those users.
This is *sudo sharing -l* tells me, for all share points.
name: Archive
path: /Volumes/External RAID/Archive
afp: {
ftp: {
name: Archive
shared: 1
guest access: 0
smb: {
Is there anything that I missed?
Thanks for you help,

Hi,
Sorry for the late respons.
My config:
1 mac mini with OSX Server leopard
1 airport extreem
1 external HDD LaCie
An airport Extreme has the posibility to share a network drive. So I plugged in my HDD into the airport extreme and configured the thing.
Than I turned to the mac mini. And started configuring my sharepoints.
So one of my sharepoints is the external HDD.
There are several directories on there that I want to make available thru the legacy protocol FTP.
So by just making these sharepoints available thru FTP i expected for these sharepoint to show up in mij directories if I connect to my external IP with a FTP client like CyberDuck.
(portforwarding and everything is not the problem, because I can make a connections and all directories show up as browseable.
But the sharepoint I made on the network drive just show up as an bin or another kind off file I can't open.
Everything else is browsable..
They show up by the way in the root dir of the FTP Server as regular symbolic links.
Thru Finder I can browse them and do everything. But as soon as i connect over the internet, lan or whatever, these symbolic links are not the access point towards the directory underneath.
They show up with the correct name just not as an dir I can open.
Hope this helps
Grtz and thnx

Password expired error when connecting via AFP to a server.

Hello everyone, I am new to OSX server and have had much help from everyone here on many issues just be reading the posts. But now I have one issue that is driving me nuts and I cannot seem to fix it.
I have 10.5.8 with Open Directory and one shared folder on that server. Half the users that connect to the server via AFP (Because they have laptops and conenct remotely) get a password expired error. As a work around I have setup new accounts for them with different ID's which do work but no matter what I do, the old ones wont. I have also noticed that a user can try and connect just one time and thier account gets disabled even though we have it set to disable after 5 failed attempts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi
One thing you could try is to double-check the Self Signed Certificate has not expired. I've seen this cause similar problems to yours. If it has expired you'll see a Red Triangle by the side of it. Amend it and change the start date to the current date and the expiry date to sometime in the future. It makes sense to set it to 3 or more years from the set start date. There's no logical reason to leave it at the default 12 months. Especially as you'll probably forget this and not watch out for it when it's due to expire.
After you've done this you could set a Password Policy for your users to change their passwords at next login.

Has anyone had this problem with VPN iPad vpn connection could not validate the server certificate

Has anyone had this problem with IPad 3 after upgrade to IOS 7,
trying to to connect VPN , but I get this messag, "could not validate the server certificate".
I am trying to connect to Oracle VPN.

Has anyone found a solution for this yet? I am still getting the could not validate server certificate error. I have tried importing the entire certificate chain as well as importing each individual cert in the chain. My certificate works perfectly with the cisco vpn on my pc.
This is my first experience owning an apple product, and I am very disappointed with the customer support that I have received. I tried calling the help line and no one would even attempt to answer my question. I was then told that the Mac "geniuses" wouldn't know either and that I may be able to find an answer on the message boards. So I am reaching out to the community...Has anyone been able to figure out how to resolve this issue or even the specific cause? Any help is appreciated.

Problems with an Error when connecting Laptop to HDMI-TV Using PSE9

Hi Guys.
Having a problem using my connection to the HDMI-TV at my house.
I am using Photoshop Elements 9.0.3, so no update is available right now. I did a nice Slideshow of my trip to Thailand. When i watch it on my Laptop everything is fine. Even if i go to Full Screen Preview. When i connect my Laptop (new Asus Notebook K52Ju, i7, 64Bit Windows 7) to my TV via HDMI everything works fine. So the connection is allright.
As soon as i start the Slideshow (Play Button), there comes the following error:
Elements Organizer - unknown Error "-2004353023" preview of the Slideshow
Doesn`t matter if i use Full screen mode or the regular mode.
There is always this error coming up.
Anyone has an idea what to do?
Or is there a better way to watch my Elements Slideshow on TV??
Please let me know what you think!
Thanks to all from Austria
Stefan

Anyone has an idea what to do?
Or is there a better way to watch my Elements Slideshow on TV?
Here is a sugggestion that might work for you:
If you are creating this slide show with the Elements Organizer Slide Show Editor--
then use the Output function of that slide show editor to create a WMV file of the slide show. Then use Windows Media Player to play the slide show from the WMV file with the HDMI connection to your TV.

[Edit]Problem with Zen Micro when connected to PC-- cleared but another prob

Hello,
My problem is that my Computer (winxp, sp2) does not identify my zen micro any longer. few days ago it worked perfectly but now it doesnt work.
my zen micro has the firmware with the MTP/plays for sure
I had installed the things from the cd, when I bought it, that was in the package and then new drivers and the new applications, so two programs. (I had two Zen Micro symbols on my desktop but I could only use the program with MTP)
it worked fine.
a few weeks ago I had the same problem, but after a few connectings and disconnectings it worked again.
today this doesnt helped. I uninstalled everything what had to do with creative and then only installed new drivers and the newest applications (without the things from the cd).
it still doesnt work.
when I click on the "Zen Micro Media Explorer (MTP)" on the desktop I can see that my zen micro is connected. When I go to my playlists and click on one, it seems that my playlist is "empty". but in the mp3-player there is the playlist!
when I click on my music folder, where all the music is I see the folders, but when I go into the folders, the folders are also "empty".
what happened? I changed the usb ports--> doesnt work...
what can I do in order to use my zen micro again on the pc. my zen micro works fine(playlists and songs work normally), but I have problems having connected it to my pc... I cannot copy songs and edit my playlists anymore. is there any way to edit the playlists via mp3-player without connecting to the pc?
I hope you have a helping answer for me.
Regards
eX
by the way: new forums look good Message Edited by expredator on 02-07-2005 09:22 PMMessage Edited by expredator on 02-08-2005 0:57 PM

ok guys, I almost solved the problem. I used the rescue mode, used clean up, and now the folders are not empty and I can copy songs into my Zen Micro.
But the playlists are "empty". Also when I want to create a new playlist it says that my mp3-player is not connected ?! But it is! I can copy files into it!
I also cannot synchronize it with WMP0.
I reinstalled software and it didnt help...
So what can I do? It is connected but I cannot edit my playlists.
Is there any way to edit the playlists via the mp3-player and not over the pc?Message Edited by expredator on 02-08-2005 :00 PM

Solaris 10 issue with the DNS when connected via DHCP

driver alias for Realtek RTL 8029 AS - ni0, driver is installed from http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/. IP, shown on ADSL modem TP-Link ADSL2+ Router TD-8810 - 192.168.1.1 .
To connect to the Internet in the terminal I enter:
ifconfig -a
ifconfig ni0 unplumb
ifconfig ni0 plumb
ifconfig ni0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default 192.168.1.1
After that, I can turn on ADSL modem or the computer hangs)
Now in the terminal I enter:
ifconfig ni0 dhcp
The computer connects to the Internet.
Problem: does not work DNS, visible are only addresses without a domain name (eg http://86.106.213.1:8080/).
ping 89.33.1.18 - is alive, ping boom.md - the domain for 89.33.1.18 - host unknown.
I tried to:
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
and
write DNS-server in /etc/resolv.conf in format:
nameserver <IP-address>
After running DHCP nsswitch.conf file is back to default, not using DNS, a resolv.conf file after a reboot does not exist. Domain names are still unknown.

I'm using exact scan already and have switchresx.
I've actually solved the problem, don't ask me how.
I connected it up via the VGA interface to see whether that would make a difference, the picture was centralised but the resolution was not great.
So I swapped it back to the HDMI interface, rebooted the Mac and when it came back up the HDMI 1920x1080 desktop was perfectly aligned.
So have no idea why but it is now working.

WRT54G v2 with Strict NAT when connected via ethernet to Xbox 360

Hello, I apologize if this is in the wrong board as the router, although it is a wireless model, is connected to the Xbox 360 via ethernet cable, so I was a bit torn on where to place it. Router Model, Firmware version: WRT54G v2, v4.21.1 The problem and details are as follows: The Xbox 360 is running on the default settings. Literally, I plugged it into the router via ethernet and it automatically grabbed an IP (192.168.1.101) and the right information to connect to Xbox Live. The router is still running the default range of 50 IPs, so 100 to 149; the 360 was just the second thing to connect. Another computer is connected to the router via ethernet and a laptop is connected wirelessly, if this might affect the case at all. When using the Network Test feature of the Xbox 360, everything is operating perfectly except the NAT is giving me a Strict reading. Some of my games require an Open NAT for me to be able to access some features such as hosting a co-op match. Simply put, what do I need to do inside the router's settings that would give me an Open NAT on the Xbox 360?

well try reducing the MTU values to 1365 on the router, also try triggering 88, 3074 ports on the router...

OS X Lion gets kernel panic when connecting via CIFS

A customer of ours has problems with OS X Lion clients that get kernel panic when connecting via CIFS (Novell OES server).
Any new on this issue?

This is how the problem occurs:
1. Mount the CIFS share - no problems
2. Use the share - no problems
3. If the network connection drops you get a message that the CIFS volume has disappeared and you are asked to unmount it. When you do that you get a kernel panic. You can force the problem to happen by turning of WiFi.
So it is OES2 but which version (SP1, SP2, or SP3)? Interesting as I'd only heard of this with NetWare 6.5.
Do you (and anyone else experiencing this issue in this thread) know if this has recently started happening, perhaps after the latest November 2011 Scheduled Maintenance patches were installed?
I'll hopefully be able to do some testing tomorrow but in the meantime I've asked Novell ...

I still have problems with getting my website online. I have defined my server. Then I did the test and there was a connection via FTP. I put my files on the external server and there is a connection with the external server. But when I check to see my website online (with Firefox, Explorer, Chrome browser) I always get the message 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.' Can somebody help me please? I have to get my website online..Thank you!

Hello Els,
it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!

Thank u verrrrrrrrrrry much FoxFifth u save my life thank u.

My new computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone when connected via USB.

My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB. I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
I have tried a different USB to no avail. Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue.
I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled. Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs.

The iTune Remote App has stopped finding my iTunes library when connected to wifi from my main router, but works fine when connected via second wifi router on the same network (different SSID)

I'm running iTunes Remote App from a couple of iPhone 5's and a first generation iPod Touch. iTunes is running on a PC - Windows 7. My home network runs two Wifi Routers, each with a different SSID. I've had no problems with the Remote app running this set up for the last 8 months but recently the App can only find my iTunes library when the iPhone/iPod is connected via one specific router, when connected to the network via the other router, no iTunes library is found. I'm also running an Apple TV and it's the same as the iTunes Library, only visible via the one SSID.
Everything else seems to work fine when connected via either router, eg Internet on the iPhones (definitely via wifi)
I've tried renewing the lease on the iPhone wifi connection, restarting everything.....several times.....
It used to work fine, this only seems to have been a problem in recent weeks
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Ian

It turned out to be the firewall settings on our router. Her machine was sending traffic that our router interpreted as a DoS attack and blacklisted her Airport's MAC address. That's why it would work fine if she switched to Ethernet.

Problems with AppleWorks drawing docs under Snow Leopard

Since I installed Snow Leopard, I've encountered two major problems:
(Problem 1) AppleWorks gets corrupted when dragging a picture file (.jpg or .png) from the desktop into a drawing document. Various dialogs (e.g. "Format : Document..." or "Format : Ruler : Settings ..." or "Options : Object Size ...") become uneditable. These dialogs will display blank boxes instead of the given object settings, and nothing can be entered into these boxes. AppleWorks must be shut down and restarted in order to continue work.
(Problem 2) When a formula (i.e. an equation) has been created in a MathType window, selected and copied, it takes ages to make AppleWorks the active application (spinning rainbow coloured ball appears and keeps spinning for a long while). Thereafter, it takes another century to get the formula appearing in the AppleWorks document when selecting the command "Edit : Paste".
Everything worked still fine under Leopard; under Snow Leopard it's a desaster.
p.s.
I've produced thousands of work sheets for my Maths teachings using the Drawing module of AppleWorks in combination with MathType (Design Science). Now I'm stuck since there is no decent successor of AppleWorks available:
* iWork doesn't feature a drawing module.
* EazyDraw doesn't collaborate with MathType (i.e. no OLE; inserted formulae cannot be edited by double-clicking).
* OpenOffice doesn't collaborate with MathType.
* Micro$oft Office doesn't feature a drawing module.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I don't use AppleWorks as much as I used to & I've never had a need to use MathType, but I just tried dragging 3 images - a .png, a .tiff & a .jpg - to a new AppleWorks draw document. I had no problems resizing them using Format > Scale by percent & I had no problems using any of the other dialog boxes you mention.
Some basic troubleshooting you might try:
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions in 10.4.x, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them. You should do this step anytime AppleWorks crashes or you force quit it.
The slowness is likely the "Recent Items bug" & it has been around since AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000. It can make it appear that AppleWorks has frozen or failed to launch. The user tip by Dale Gillard, AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?, explains a lot.
Could you send me a copy of one of these worksheets? Perhaps I can see if I can easily duplicate one in Pages/Numbers/Keynote. Even though iWork doesn't have a draw app, all of the apps do have basic drawing capabilities.
