Problem with my Mac running mountain lion not connecting to server

Hi there,
I have a problem connecting to the HDD shared on my local network. As far as I understand this might be a Mountain Lion (10.8.4) problem, because all my other devices can connect to it (even my iphone throught an app called FileExplorer).
I read that it might be related to a Samba problem, but I tried to install SMBUp and I still cannot connect to my HDD. Whenever I try to connect to it via the Cmd+K it says "The version of this server is not supported". Please help me this is blowing my mind. Also, it's a shame that everything but my main machine can connect to my HDD (PCs, Android, iOS are all fine).
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delay, but I've been quite busy in the recent period. Unfortunately, the solution you linked me doesn't seem to be working. Any other idea?
BTW: I've upgraded to Mavericks

  • Old Mac running Mountain Lion 'sees' Canon IP5000, new MacBook pro will not. No driver available from canon. Is there a way of transfering whatever is working from old mac to new?

    I have two older macs running Mountain Lion that have been upgraded over the years from Leopard. They have continued to be able to print to a Canon IP5000 and use a driver that is fully functional. On the new MacBook Pro, the printer is found, but no driver is available for Mountain Lion from apple or Canon. Is there a way of getting the driver info from the old mac so that it will work on the new one?

    Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

  • Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

    After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
    Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
    Problem:
    - New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions. 
    - When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi. 
    - The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install). 
    Solution:
    1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
    Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
    Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software  for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
    The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
    1 Printer Driver
    (Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
    2 Scanner Driver
    (Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
    3 Network Tool
    (Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
    Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
    4 Solution Menu
    (Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
    5 MP Navigator EX
    (Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))

    Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
    1. Choose a product category

    Downloads or FAQ
    If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
    2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
    Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB.  Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’).  This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
    3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
    After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
    Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
    DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list).  The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
    You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
    If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List.  It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
    If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

    Hi - I've stupidly forgotten a log in password on my new iMac running mountain lion, tried the recoverpassword prompt by Command R and then terminal - all OK, but my computer is showing no volumes - and therefore no existing users so I'm unable to reset the password. Can anyone help? I'm tearing my hair out.

    You are not selecting your boot volume. That would be the one indented at the top of the list. The one labeled "Macintosh HD." The internal hard drive would be the entry above Macintosh HD. I can't read it in the picture.
    Are you able to boot the computer normally? If not, then boot from the Recovery HD. Try the resetpassword routing:
    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen   appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

  • Using A LaCie d2 DVD +/- RW Drive With A Mini Running Mountain Lion??

    I have an older LaCie d2 DVD  /- RW drive that I would like to use with my Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.  LaCie says it is not compatible but I read somewhere that you can type a command into the terminal which will allow the unit to function.  Does anyone know about this?
    I really hate to buy a new drive but that looks like it will be the only alternative.
    Any response will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I should have mentioned in my previous post that I have already tried to use the drive but it is not recognized by the Mini.  I pretty much have tried everything but no luck.  The funny thing is that an older LaCie cd drive works fine.  I am using that at the moment but I need a drive to burn the occasional DVD.
    Any other suggestions or should I go shopping for a new drive?
    Thanks

  • Will my MacBookPro3,1 Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz with 4GB Ram run Mountain Lion?

    Hi everyone. I have a MacBookPro3,1 Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz with 4GB Ram — will it run Mountain Lion? My hard drive has 615 Gigs of free space. If so, is it worth it for me to upgrade? Will all the new features be available to me. Presently I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53). I heard that there is an update 8.1 out there with developers as of yesterday.
    Thanks.

    Hi John.
    Yes, an erase and install sounds like a good idea. I just need to check my Adobe CS5 software to see if I need to upgrade the suite. If that is the case, then I may need to put it off for a bit. Thanks so much for your help.
    I have a newer MacBook Pro at work, but usually wait to upgrade it, till I've been running it at home on my personal computer for a while. Would hate for it to mess up my production schedule.
    Thanks again and have a good evening.

  • Trojan clampi- is it possible an i-Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.4, could it have this trojan?

  • Firefox problems on one of two Macs running Mountain Lion

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on my two Macs. On the MacBook Air using Firefox 14.0.1 some pages in "my account" at Amazon's site and the my.yahoo.com portal (when signed in to the account) are wonky. '''Note: the portal page of my.yahoo.com looks fine if you are not signed in. It only gets jumbled if you're trying to view the custom home page for your account.''' The same is true of Amazon. the general site looks fine; it's only when you try to view deeper pages, such as "my account." I've seen similar problems at a few other sites, as well. All sites are fine in Safari. Text overlaps paragraphs, images missing, etc.
    No problems on the MacBook Pro, also running Firefox 14.0.1

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Problems with iWork '09 in Mountain Lion

    After installing Mountain Lion, I've got problems using the iWork '09 applications. I tried to update them, but it's still not possible to open or create a document. Would anyone have tips/ideas about this?

    Re: Is anyone having issues with Pages 09 or Keynote 09 after updating to Mountain Lion? 
    Aug 6, 2012 3:04 PM (in response to Sara167)
    This is what FINALLY worked for me after reinstalling and uninstalling and doing everything else mention above, and with a call to Apple's Support.
    Move the applications into the trash (of course) and then make sure you remove the folder called "iWork '09" in your Hard Drive Library (not your User Library) under Application Support. You can throw away your preferences too if you want, but I didn't. Then do a clean install. And THEN open the Mac App store and run the auto update (or just select Software Update from the apple menu).
    At first I thought it was too simple of a fix, but it indeed fixed everything. All iWork apps opened, opened files (they were saying they couldn't be opened) and Keynote finally worked (it was crashing and erroring out). I can now use all iCloud features, and everything, no problem.
    I am pretty tech savvy and felt silly for not even thinking of this and how easy it was to fix. I even used an app uninstaller to make sure it removed all of iWork's little bits, but it didn't do that last folder.  It has been causing problems for a week and am so glad I contacted customer support. You can contact them if you just got Mountain Lion. Just sign up to have them call you or give them a call if this doesn't work for you.
    Would love to hear if this worked for other people.
    This worked perfectly, I've been fighting with Numbers and Pages for a couple of weeks trying to get them to update, because each time I would open any of my documents/files it would pop a window saying there was an update available, bring me to the Mac App Store then do nothing, no update would show.  After following the procedure in the post you linked it worked.  I'm finally updating.  Whew, saved me money, I really didn't want to have to purchase all those again from the App Store.

  • Problem with different calendars under Mountain Lion

    I upgraded recently from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and experiencing an annoying problem with the calendars "On My Mac" (I am using a MacBook Pro from mid 2009). With iCal under Snow Leopard I had seven calendars - Meetings, Performances, Family, etc. with different colors. After the switch to Mountain Lion these categories aren't maintained properly. Four of them have been seemingly merged into two, so that for example an event can't be categorized as "Family" but gets shifted automatically to "Meetings" (both calendars stay checked in the editing panel, but only one "sticks"). So I have three  calendars I can use and a four I can't.
    If I try to add a new calendar it appears in the list, but no event can be assigned to it.
    Is there a limit to the number of calendars one can have?
    I don't use iCloud, so there is no issue there.
    I have one Google calendar (a work schedule I have subscribed to ) which also works with no problems.
    Any ideas?

    Same problem when reseted  the PRAM.
    I read some Chinese Web , Many people got the same problem after upgrade to mountain lion

  • I'm having problems with reinstalling OS X Mountain Lion

    I tried to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion :-
    I click on continue and I get following message "to download and restore OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple" with two buttons Cancle and continue.
    Once I've Clicked on Continue Ig et another message "Could Not find installation information for this machine contact apple" with OK button.
    I need My Mac for work tomorrow please please Help me Urgent.

    I think that's likely the problem, then. The machine probably originally came with an earlier version of OS X and was updated to Mountain Lion using another persons Apple ID.
    You don't say which model you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011") but I'm betting that it came with installation discs with an earlier version of OS X. Do you have the discs? If not, the only way to get them is to order a set, using your serial number, from Apple. Cost is around $20 + shipping and taxes.
    Look for your serial number on the back of the machine - it will usually be very faint. When you get it, go to -> http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html - and enter your serial number. It will pull up a page with your model and the original version of OS X that shipped with that model. You'll know then if you need to order discs (and it certainly sounds as if you're going to need those discs).
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Driver Problems with CanoScan 9000F and Mountain Lion?

    Does anyone have experience of this combination of Scanner and Lap Top? Thank you.

  • Problems with downloaded Mac OS X Lion

    I´ve just downloaded the Mac OS X Lion and i try to install it but the software could not be verified

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
