Problem with Mac OS Client
Hi,
I have a PowerPC (PPC) Mac Mini with which I'm trying to contact a VPN3000 private network.
Under Windows XP, the connection works fine, I get an IP address, a virtual adapter appears under "ipconfig" and I can contact the host I need to get to.
Under Mac OS 10.4.8 (PPC) with VPNclient 4.9.0050, it seems to connect, but I can't contact the client. It appears that no routes are setup, nor a virtual adapter. Here's the output from "vpnclient" - note the lack of routes..
Can somebody help!? TIA. Tom

I am trying to using VPN client 4.9 on a G5 (dual processor) OSX 10.4.8. I read and reread the instructions. I go to the command line and copy the INI and profiles into the installer.
When I try to open the VPN client I receive "Error 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem". The only information I can find on Error 51 is that it is a windows error. Some help. I can't even uninstall the software.
Is any one else having this problem?

AD account Login problem with MAC 10.6.8
Hi All,
We have around 50 odd MAC that are connected to windows server 2008 R2. the user were logining in to these MACs using their AD account. Recently few of the random MAC did not allow the user to login using their AD account.When analyzed though the MAC shows that it has connected to the Domain and the server is active with green button it has unbind itself from the server.I had to login in as local user bind the MAC back to get this resolved.
Now the same has started happeneing for most of the MAC that we have and every morning I have login as local Admin and unbind / bind the MAC with the server. this gets reset once the user reboots or shutsdown.
Have tried with few of the below solution but nothing helped:
Solution 1:
<key>mdns_timeout</key>
<integer>2</integer>
The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required.
You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
Solution 2:
I have seen all of the probable solutions and tried everything and still I am getting issues with 10.6.6 and after rebooting the Mac gets unbind. Or the Mac gets Network Accounts Available even when not accessing the list of users from AD. But the thing that I have done that has solved all my issues with AD on the Macs is to uncheck the box to search on all domains. For some reason I am seeing that when the Macs have this option checked, it searches through out the forest on the same domain controller more than once, so AD stops the handshaking of the authentication.
I hope this helps like it did on our Network, since then I have not seen the Macs lose the binding or slow SMB.
If you've tried this please let us know.
TIP: Uncheck Allow Authentication from any domain for Mac AD problems
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Steven Wells sent a fix and an explanation of problems with Macs losing their binding to Active Diretory:
Unchecking "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest" is working at our college. We have been beating our heads on this for about 2 terms, with no understanding of why it works in some places and not in others. When we found this working, our IT guy said that the Security SID is being duplicated, when it looks in other domain forest, and that is what is causing the problem. This is the first time I have found an explanation for the problem.
If you've tried this approach please let us know.
Solution 3:
Solved it. Create a file in Textedit with the name 'auto_master' (no file extension) with the following contents:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
#/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
Place this in /etc/ folder
Hope this helps

TIP: a Kerberos fix for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 binding to Active directory
Friday, November 11, 2011
Mehdi Mafi forwarded a fix he found for problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard binding to Active Directory:
This was taken from Dane Riley's imaging building for DeployStudio.
With Mac OS X Leopard every Mac is now running a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center). Basically each imaged machine is using the same security certificate and hash. Deploying a single image will deploy the same KDC to every system. This [Apple] article covers how to reset the local KDC so that each system is unique. Basically, do the following:
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
After deployment, perhaps using Apple Remote Desktop to all systems, re- establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
If you've tried this approach with Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or even Lion, please let us know. .
TIP: More on a kerberos fix for AD binding problems
Monday, November 14, 2011
Mehdi Mafi updated his Friday report about Mac OS X 10.6 problems binding to Active Directory:
You may want to add this. If the Mac keeps unbinding from AD (people can't log in to a Mac), here is how to fix it:
Unbind it from Domain
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
Re-establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
Bind it to domain again ( When you bind, uncheck allow authentication from any domain in the forest in: Directory Utilitiy-> Advanced Options\Administrative ) this fix the issue that sometimes it can' find AD under search space.
If you tried this please let us know.
Solution 5:
For Snow Leopard AD login issues, use upper case domain
Solution 6: for .local
To create this StartupItem, create the following directory as root:
/Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth
Then chown it to root:wheel and chmod it to 755. These must also be the owner/permissions on the two files it will contain, below:
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/FixADAuth:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
date > /var/log/FixADAuth.log
n=0
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local; n=$(($n+1))
done
echo Authentication successful: $AuthSuccess >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log echo Operation count: $n >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
date >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/StartupParameters.plist:
Description = "Fixes Active Directory authentication issue";
Uses = ("Disks");
Obviously you'll need to change "middlewich.local" to your own domain name (and the network interface name if your connection is wireless). The script checks to see if it can see the user "Administrator" on the domain, as he's a fairly common bloke, but if you've renamed yours for security reasons then pick another one. I've also included some logging functionality for debug purposes, so you can verify how well the script is working if you need to and time it in your environment before telling the users how long to wait. The /var/log/FixADAuth.log file will contain the date/time the process started, the success variable set to 1 (just to verify), how many DNS operations were required to fix the problem, and the date/time it ended. For us the time difference is normally about +30-40 seconds with around 120-180 operations taking place. Once you're happy with the script, you can strip it down to its bare functionality if you like, like so for us:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local
done
I hope this helps someone!

Thanks,
PaoloSomewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations. -

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration... -
Hi, I am new to FIOS so I hope this is the proper board to post in. I set up 2 subaccounts for verizon.net email and configured them for my Mac Mail program. Everything worked well for about 2 days, and all of a sudden the Mail program keeps asking for my password (even though it was saved in my Mail settings) and says the the incoming mail server is offline. I've Googled this issue and see that others have posted about the same authentication error. Has anyone else here experienced - and solved - this problem? Thanks.
I am having the same problems with Mac eMail. I have two Macs, one that is running Lion and the other is running Snow Leopard. I have spent days on the phone with Apple and Verizon and they are blaming each other and neither have a solution. Have you been able to get a response? It looks like this is something that happens from time to time but never really gets fixed.
Please let me know if there has been a fix since the Mac Mail update in July? With the Union Issues Verizon doesn't have enough people to address the issues both in person ( I had a tech come to the house and he didn't know anything about software ) or on the phone. They keep kicking it back to Apple. I also have a couple iPhones and both are working fine. So this seems to be OS X specific. I've had Macs and iPhones for 3 years or more.
Just makes me think something was done to the mail servers they didn't get correct. -
Problem with Mac Office Password Protection
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5 with MS Word for Mac 12.3.5 and MS Excel for Mac 12.3.5.
I created a Word (.docx) and an Excel (.xlsx) document on my Mac at home, both with password protection. I uploaded the documents onto Google Drive. I was able to open the documents a few times with the password on my Mac at home, and on my PC at work. However, now upon opening the docs, Word and Excel say the password is incorrect (both home MAC and work PC).
I know I'm entering the correct password. I'm 100% positive. I was able to open the docs a few times previously just a day before. Now they're completely inaccessible. My questions are:
(1) Is this a common problem with Mac for Word/Excel docs?
(2) Are there ways to recover the password (a dictionary based brute force solution is unlikely to work, as I use non-word passwords with numbers)?
(3) If this is a common problem, are there other alternatives to password protecting or encrypting Mac for Word and Excel docs that don't cause problems?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.Could just be thats the way it runs on Rosetta. I called in apple to ask if I could return office '04 because I didn't want to take the chance, they were more than eager to return it for me because of the fact it would be slow/maybe have problems running in Rosetta.
I just got iWorks instead till the universal version of office comes out (which if you buy office '04 you'll have to buy the new universal version as well, or so the rep told me). -
Problem with update SCCM client to Sp1 CU3 on Windows 2008 server
Hi all,
I have problem with update SCCM client on Windows 2008 Server to 2012 Sp1 CU3. I have sent to deployment package with update (SP1 Cumulative Update 3 - server update) on four servers and after few minutes I have got in Monitoring\Deployment details four
this same errors in "Asset Details":
USER Message ID
Status type Description
NT\AUTHORITY\SYSTEM 1006
Error 3003
I love that types of error... which is har to find answer on google :-( I have tried but I haven't find any constructive :-( Did you met with something similar? Which log I should check (sorry - I'm still noob in SCCM2012) to update actual SCCM Client SP1
(5.00.7804.1000) to SP1 CU3 (5.00.7804.1400)?
Thank you.I see in fodler with CU3 updates, are four packages:
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x64 client update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x86 client update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - server update
- SP1 Cumulative update 3 - console update
It will be stupid but... maybe I should deploy x64 client update package? -
My help files, especially "Mac Help", no longer work properly since upgrading to Tiger. If I open "Mac Help", for example, the help window will pop up, but the links will not work (nothing happens when I click on them) and the search feature in help will not work either (the little gray "clock" just spins next to the help bar and nothing else ever happens). Any suggestions on this one? As I'm a relatively recent Mac convert, the help feature was something that I came to rely on. Thanks!
Hi CP,
This is a common problem with Mac Help. When it happens, try first (quit Help) deleting this folder:
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui
If Help still doesn't work, try then deleting those files:
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
(and this one if you find it):
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
See also this KB article for more info
- Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: Mac Help Viewer unexpectedly quits
and this excellent X Lab FAQ
- Troubleshooting Help Viewer
It seems (not sure about that), that Help caches get easily corrupted when interrupting searches instead of patiently waiting for its internet accessings etc?
Good luck!

Thawte Personal Email Cert - Problem with Mac Mail
Hi, I have requested a free cert from Thawte and there seems to be a problem with Mac Mail (using 2.0.7).
I am using Entourage to send a signed message from [email protected] to [email protected]
If I check mail for [email protected]
Mac Mail reports "There was a problem reading the digital signature for this message"
If I check the same account with Thunderbird, everything works fine.
Anyone else having or had problems?
-chrisHi,
Thanks for the responses. I requested another cert and that did not help. Here is the process I used after requesting another cert.
1. Logged into www.thawte.com and requested a new cert.
2. Using Firefox, retrieved the cert.
3. In Firefox, backed up the cert to a pkcs12 file.
4. Opened Keychain and deleted the first cert.
5. Imported the pkcs12 backup file. Imported fine.
6. Open Entourage, under tools, accounts, exchange profile, security, selected the cert Thawte Freemail Member.
7. Checked all 3 options (sign, include cert, clear test signed.
8. Created a test message from Entourage to .mac account address.
9. Checked mail with Mac Mail and signature fails.
10. Check with 1.02 Thunderbird and it comes back with valid digital signature.
Next, I sent a test email to my Exchange account from Entourage and that message verifies fine. It just seems to not work when I check my email with Mac Mail.
Thanks!

A problem with WAAS mobile client
The customer has a problem with WAAS mobile client. When he disabled WAAS mobile client - all is working, but http is not working.:-( On the server the accelerated networks are configured.The browser send the http request, but the response is not received:-( For other clients it is working. Thank you for help.
I have WAAS mobile server version 3.4.0.1460 on the Windows2003 server with SP1. Client OS is Windows XP. All clients who use WAAS mobile client have WinXP on their notebooks. All clients are on the same network. This client sees this problem when the waas client is active, disabled, and for now when the waas mobile client is uninstalled - it seems like waas mobile client changed registers for IE or FireFox - so all http answers are redirected to nonexisting waas mobile client:-(
Thank you

Weblogic 5.1 SP9 problems with MAC OS 9 w/ MRJ 2.2.5 [InterruptedIOException]
Hello all,
We're having a problem with one of the beans running on our WebLogic server.
A quick summary:
The application is a standalone java application that
interfaces with a Weblogic 5.1 SP9 running on a Solaris box.
The clients are a mix of Windows machines and Mac OS 9 (with OS X
coming down the line, but that is not feasible at this time
to consider a massive upgrade). Due to the limitations
of the JVM for OS 9, we are forced to run MRJ 2.2.5 on the
Mac and JRE 1.1.9 on the Windows machines.
The general flow of data is a request is made from the client app
to the WebLogic bean. The bean calls another class method which
retrieves data from the the backend database (Sybase or SQL Server 2000).
We've verified that the data comes back from the query, is placed
in an array, and is in the same state when the EJB prepares to 'return'
the data to the client. This works as expected on the Windows machines,
however, every so often, the Macs will give an
InterruptedIOException: send timed out error. Once the server times
out (after 240 seconds), the client can continue until the next
error.
A few additional pieces of info.
The data returned is an array, but there isn't any consistancy to the
size of the data set. Some will be single element arrays while others
will have 8-10 elements. The amount of data in each element is only
a string of a couple hundred characters, so it is not a large data
stream. Systems on the same network segment can go for a while (sometimes
going on 10 minutes) before getting this error, while remote offices
going over slower links will get an immediate InteruptedIOException.
We have a process in place that if it catches an InterruptedIOException
it loops and tries the procedure again, however a 4 minute wait
between loops just isn't acceptable. We tried lowering this by
placing the following lines into our weblogic.properties file:
weblogic.system.periodLength=15
weblogic.system.idlePeriodsUntilTimeout=4
However, this has had zero impact on the timeout. Are there programatic
ways of changings these values? Or to force a blocking connection that
will force the data pipe to stay open? Has anyone had any insight into
any similar problems? Unfortunately, due to the size of the company,
the environment is fixed, and no mass upgrades are a vaiable option.
Thanks all!
CliffHi Cliff,
it seems as if we have a similar problem within WLS51sp13 and a Java
Client (Servlet within Tomcat). We found that an EJB Stub within the
Client App has a 180s timeout, if the server socket didn't close
(Network problem or similar). I friend gave me a hint setting this
parameter on both sides, client and Server: It works. It seems as if the
server takes the bigger value of both values set.
Greetings,
schnaggy:-)

Problem with mac mail and Mediacom
Just bought a macbook 13" with 4GB and 2.4 core2duo 2.4
I have a problem with 10.5.6 and mac mail with mediacom at work. I can receive but can't send. I have no problems with bellsouth.net when using that provider at work.
Mediacom has no answers so I'm here. I've filled that required fields correctly using mail.mchsi.com in incoming and out going mail servers. Firefox mail client works fine with Mediacom but I want to use the Apple client. I've used advice from what I could find on google and nothing works such as repair permissions to change ports. I hope a Mediacom user can shed some light to this problem. If all else fails I will use the Firefox mail client but I really don't want to.
ThanksI had the same problem with a relatives macbook on mediacom broadband just today,
Something gets corrupted if you enter the server wrong on the first try and even editing to correct it won't fix it. You must delete the server and add a new one.
To fix it go to mail preferences and click account at the top of the prefs window. At the bottom of the account pane click the outgoing server list and select edit server list. Select your server and hit the - symbol on the left below the list. I then close the prefs, save changes and quit mail. Re-launch Mail and open prefs, select account again and edit outgoing server, click the + at the bottom of the list and add a server, double click the server where it says double click here and type mail.mchsi.com in the box. close the prefs and save changes and you should now be able to send. -
Most people have a normal mail server, meaning that when you login with your mail client, it starts up IMAP processes on your mail server to give you the email.
So ... I use my desktop, to login to read mail mostly. I use Thunderbird because it lets you control somethings that the Mail app on the Mac does not ... like the number of cached connections. In an enterprise context, both Apple's and Microsoft's mail clients are total pigs. They start up these IMAP connections and they never drop them, putting a huge load and creating tons of connections so that email users can check their email ever few minutes. This is a very poor design.
Thunderbird allows you to take the client offline so that those connections are cleared and the resources on the server are not monopolized, but Outlook Express and Mail do not ... at least as far as I can tell.
So ... when you check your mail you create these connections, and then when you check your mail from the your iPad, your double what you just probably have running from your desktop, or laptop, or whatever computer you normally use and are not at because you are using your iPad.
When you switch from the iPad Mail app to another app, it does not clear those connections, and it maintains the connection even if you are not using it.
Is there some way to configure this OFF, so that your mail is not maintaining these connections?
And ... don't tell me to go into
Settings
-> Mail/Contacts/Calendars
-> Fetch New Data (turn push off) (switch schedule to manual)
-> Advanced
-> <individual account>
->(switch to manual)
Which is by the way a very complex thing to do, remember, and configure ... but it does not work as far as I can tell.
Companies, at least many of them in an enterprise context need these things to not waste cycles and resources on their servers ... not to mention ISP's and websites don't like it either.
Why is it that a free mail client like Thunderbird can do better than both Apple and Microsoft at solving this problem ... though it is not completely solved by either?bruxxx wrote:

Because most users have no idea what cached connections are. They just want it to work.
Perhaps you should submit a bug report to Apple -
Wifi problem with Mac after upgrade to Mavericks
I just upgraded to Mavericks but something wrong with my wifi.
i can get internet through LAN link from Airport but not through wifi even i can receive an IP address
i tried connect to hotspot with my iphone5s and it works.
Other devices can use wifi just fine through Airport, just not my Mac using Mavericks
In conclusion,
Airport should be fine because my other devices works.
Mac wifi should be fine too because i can connect using hotspot.
so why it's not working when i connect Mac to Airport?I was having problems connecting to Wifi with my Macbook Pro (!2010), after upgrading to Mavericks. I was on the phone repeateadly with AT&T because I have Uverse. Testing everything (channels, signal strength) and had techs come out to check the line, ports, switches, etc. When I hardwired the Mac into the Uverse router, it worked fine. This rulled out any problems with the line in.
I considered getting a repeater but then I read that repeaters are not really good and it is better to reconfigure a router to act as an access point on the network. Plunked down about $80 for a Belkin AC750 router at Best Buy. In the setup it has an option to set it up as an access point only. Clicked that, connected it to my Motorola NVG510 Uverse modem and then connected to the Belkin router from my Mac. Voila! It's been a solid 11+ Mbs ever since (my plan maxes at 12Mbs). Connection is still solid and life if good even though it ***** to plunk down another $80 for a second router. But it was worth it just to get rid of the headaches.
I think the wifi capabilities of the Motorola NVG510 modem are the cause of a lot of problems with AT&T Uverse issues, particularly for Mac owners. I think it was also causing my Airport Expresses to drop occasionally.... Few minutes of music then drop... music drop.... All gone now.
I don't know if you are on Uverse but if so, I highly recommend configuring a second router as an acces point (it can be any old router you still might have - the setup is just a bit trickier because you have to do it manually).
Good luck.
