Problems accessing network

I did a couple of upgrades last night to my airport express and OS X 10.4. Now, when I turn on my computer, it can't find my apple network. It also doesn't show in my network listing. After asking me a couple of times if I want to join other networks, my network appears on the list and I am able to select it manually. I access the internet through a Rogers high speed cable modem. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

MikeTO:
Just a shot in the dark, however I had a similar problem with my network. Check out this thread to see if it helps at all.

Dreaweaver problem accessing network drive

We have a problem with Dreaweaver freezing intemittently when
accessing a network /mapped drive.
Any suggestions?

not sure...
my only thought was that the service runs under a user without permissions to that resource.
interesting...
do you have to "log into" the shared drive when you want to run the std. application or is the shared system just based on users allowed to access it?

Install Problem: "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\."

I get "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\." when trying to install or uninstall itunes. Has anyone seen this. I've tried several of the general troubleshooting topics.

Similar problem..."Could not access network location ." went through all the microsoft repairs for a 1606 error. No resolve. My itunes used to work perfectly then when I went through an itunes initiated update, then my itunes would bring up the error whenever I tried to update. I uninstalled itunes then tried to reinstall without any success. Still get the error. And now I dont have itunes. Has anyone figured this out yet or do I need to abandon and go to droid?

I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

I am currently having problems accessing a network connection. I have reset my IPAD network connections and am still having a problem. I know that it is not my network because I can access the internet on my laptop computer.

I am having problems opening any email or apps on my IPAD 2. It says there is no network connection but I don't have any problems accessing the internet on my laptop.

In any event, if your OS X version is 10.7.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion:
Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
If your OS X version is 10.5.x or 10.6.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.5.3:
Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
After you install the appropriate version of AirPort Utility, open it. The program will be located in your Utilities folder, which in turn is found in your Applications folder.
To open the Utilities folder, go to the Finder and select "Utilities" from the Go menu:
AirPort Utility 5.6 looks like this:
... but make sure you use the version of AirPort Utility you just downloaded.
Launch AirPort Utility and select your Time Capsule. Click Manual Setup, then the Guest Menu tab, then you can elect to disable the guest network, or to establish whatever security settings you want.
The window looks somewhat like this:
If your version of AirPort Utility does not look anything like that, you are probably not using the one you just downloaded. Find it and start over.
When you are finished configuring your Time Capsule, click Update and allow the Time Capsule to restart.

Having problem accessing MacMini over network with PC's Windows 7

Hi all,
I have a Mac Mini with 10.6.x
Onec in a while, especially when restart Airport Extreme for upgrade or something else (both are connected with ethernet cable cat5e) ALL PC's on the network having problem accessing Mac Mini Server while All MACs are fine and can access all folders no problem. Usually takes about 3-4 min for PC to connect to server. Then once it is connected (it loads all folder and files in that current window on the PC) i can go from folder to folder with no delays. However if i close the window with all folders then again i have to wait for around 3 min. to load everything all over again. AFP and SMB are ON. Today i made an experiment and turned SMB off and the problem still excist with the difference that after 3-4 min delay no folders were shown.
It seems that the PCs have hard time establishing connection with the server which is weird that Macs don't have that problem. It must be something with the setting of Mac MIni. Other wise i have no problem accessing Internet so the routher is working fine. DHCP is ON on the AP Extreme.
I came across as i was searching for this issue and it seems that authentication - Golden triangle or whatever is called - might be the issue in the whole mess. Do you guys think that this might be the case ?
The only way i have found out to help is to restart the Router and Server and that usually fix the problem .
Could you please help me figure what is going on there?
Here is the original thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3867559?tstart=0 ( i think i posted in the wrong forum )

The specified changeip -checkhostname command does not make changes to your configuration.
To research the command (and that's entirely your perogative), please use Google or Bing to search for previous discussions and details, or review the provided man page documentation for the command. (Launch Terminal.app (folder Applications > Utilities) and issue the command man changeip. You'll see something like this:
$ man changeip
changeip(8)               BSD System Manager's Manual              changeip(8)
NAME
     changeip -- Change service configuration files with hard-coded IP addresses
SYNOPSIS
     changeip [-v] [-d path] old-ip new-ip [old-hostname new-hostname]
     changeip -checkhostname
     changeip -h
DESCRIPTION
     changeip is used to manually update configuration records when a server's IP address or hostname changed in a way that affected services were unable to properly process, for example when the server is behind a NAT device and the WAN identity changed. ...
Given your response and your concern, consider creating a backup of your disk. Shut down, boot the installation DVD, and use Disk Utility (from the Utilities menu) in the second screen of the installation process to copy your disk contents to an external storage device. (Time Machine isn't as good at getting a backup of a server as is a clean backup created while shut down.) There are descriptions around that detail how to create this backup using Disk Utility.
There is no DNS server implemented in the Airport Extreme. The Airport Extreme forwards DNS requests to a DNS server elsewhere. Few gateway devices contain DNS servers; that these devices request a DNS address tends to be confusing, too. That address is solicited from the user for use in the DHCP server that many of the available gateway devices provide.
There is no need for a DNS forwarder, particularly if your server is configured for your LAN. (Adding a forwarder adds another hop into the whole translation process. That configuration and that extra hop can be useful when the intermediate DNS server is providing specific, enhanced DNS-related functions, such as security monitoring and logging, or providing a "nanny filter" mechanism.)
If you are running DNS services on your LAN, then your Airport Extreme DHCP server should be configured to pass out the IP address of your DNS server.
It would appear that your local box has the default self-hosted DNS, and is not configured to serve LAN DNS (other than for itself). That's good. Accordingly, it'll likely be getting good DNS from itself, but will not be getting translations for other hosts on your network. That's not so good. When DNS responses are not available, you'll get DNS-level timeouts, and those are usually around 30 seconds each.
Check your server logs for messages related to the failed connections, and check the Windows file service logs for any errors being generated by the file service. The log information is most easily available from Console.app, which is a utility in Applications > Utilities folder, or from the Server Admin tool (Applications > Server folder) for DNS, and for the file server component.
The above is probably going to read like a wall of unfamiliar jargon, so please ignore this and my previous response here, and I'll leave it to somebody else to assist you here.

Window 8.1 system unable to access network shares via VPN connection

Is there something inherent to Windows 8.1 that prevents it from accessing shares on a domain?
I know that it cannot join a domain, but does that also mean that it cannot access shares which are on a domain?
My problem is that I have several user that are running windows 8.1 that are connecting to our network via a VPN.
The users have domain accounts but their computers as windows 8.1 cannot joined to the domain.
So to access network shares they have to use their domain credentials to create a VPN connection.
Once connected the user can RDP to systems on the domain using their domain accounts, so I know that their user names/passwords and permissions are correct. They can access these systems using the computer name, so I don't feel that I have a DNS issue.
They can see the shares on our file server, but when they try to access their departments shared file, they receive an access denied message. There are a few shares that are completely wide open, shared to all users and all departments but they cannot access
those shares either.
You can ping the file server, from the the client when they are connected to the VPN but you just cannot access any of the shares.
So...
I am thinking that it has something to do with windows 8.1 and not being able to join a domain, but I cannot find anything to explicitly support this thought.
Other users running a variety different OS (windows 7, OSX, Linux) can all access the shares without any problems via the VPN, so I am a little stumped.

I have done some more testing and oddly enough I can map a drive if I use the IPaddress, but not the computer name, when checking the check box "connect using different credentials"and providing they users domain credentials.
This seems to point to a DNS issue, one would think, but I can hit the file share server by name \\fileserver.dev.lan
I can see all the shares, so dns seems to be fine right?
So I don't understand why I can map a drive using do the IPaddress and not the machine name, but yet I can see and ping the server by name?
When I try to create a mapped drive by machine name I receive the following message:
Windows cannot access \\fileserver.dev.lan\all
You do not have permissions to access \\fileserver.dev.lan. contact your network administrator to request access.
But if I use the \\x.x.x.x\all using the very same user and password I get connected with no problem.
This only seems to happen on windows 8.1, which leads me to think that has something to do with OS.
I am thinking about upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, but I don't want to go though the hassle and expanse is the OS is not the problem.

I am trying to download itunes and keep getting an error message cannot access network location %appdata%

I am trying to download itunes to windows 7 and keep getting the error message "cannot access network location $APPDATA%\." I have contacted an Apple advisor and was not able to resolve the problem. What to do?

Since this a problem pertaining to the iTunes application, you might have better luck posting this in the iTunes forum.

Network Media Player (Noontec V9-T) unable to access network shares on WIN8 Pro

I have just upgraded from Windows 7 home premium 64 bit to Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. After the upgrade, I made sure my video library was shared (both with the homegroup and my username) and that network discovery was enabled file sharing enabled etc etc.
On the Noontec Media centre I can see the workgoup called WORKGROUP. When I click on it I can see the name of my PC. But when I click on the pc name to log in to access the shares within it comes up with a username/pass box comes up. I then put in my username/pass
on the windows 8 pro machine, to which the Noontec receives an error message stating cannot login.
Previously I had enabled sharing with everyone (read only) on windows 7 home and this username/pass dialog box never appeared. Just said successful logon. So i tried sharing video library with "everyone" in windows 8 pro, the unit still can't log on.
I believe this noontec uses Samba. The last updated samba file was named "samba_3.0.23c_mipsel.ipk" when I updated the media players samba about 9 months-a year ago. i have checked the manufacturers website, there has been no further updates released.
Is there a way for me to access network shares from this media centre by maybe installing a new samba server on the windows 8 machine that is compatible with older samba clients? I am not savy with samba clients/servers at all, I just loved the way XP network
shares always seemed to work across multiple platforms... and win7/8 doesn't. Help anyone?

A lot of these media players will not work correctly. If your Video files are stored as .avi, MKV, MP4 etc.. pretty much anything excpet for .ISO, the best way is to use Plex media server on the windows 8 PC. It's free and should allow you to organise files
and libraries as you want.In fact, it's my preferred access method now, as most, smart TVs also support plex and support it well....allowing me to play the files directly in my smart TV, without using the Media players.
In addition if you have an Android tablet or phone, you can (if you want) access your media files from Plex using Media Monkey (free) and simply play them direct to the TV, Media Monkey simply hands the data stream over to the smart TV.
I have a similar set of media players and exactly the same problem with windows 8,8.1, previous shares on versions 7, vist etc..work perfectly. I use a free application on my android phone to remote start my media server/s (via the network card).
Shutter Light - Free monitoring activity and network data, to prevent unwanted sleep during Videos and to ensure the PC goes into sleep mode (disabling windows power management)
Plex simplifies everything and acts as a great central server for all types of devices and can bring media files together from different Directories/Disks, in to one set of Libraries.

Problems accessing Time Capsule on windows Vista

I have an iMac running Leopard and a laptop running Vista Home Edition. I'm having some problems accessing Time Capsule from the Vista machine. everytime I click to access the drive, a message appears in the menu bar of the window that says (not responding). I've tried leaving it. I've even changed my entire wireless network to bypass the original g router (belkin) to use TC, so I now have TC as my router, Belkin just setup as a wired broadband modem but I still get the same problem. The mac seems fine, although I have had quite a few issues with drop outs.
both machines have the latest version of Airport Utility and Bonjour.
The laptop is a recent purchase to replace a dead XP machine, this worked fine and I managed to get stuff backed up just before it died, thankgod.
Any help appreciated.

No problem seeing Time Capsule with iMac, Dell desktop XP Home, Dell notebook XP Pro, and Fusion with XP Pro. All installed according to the installation guide. Installed AirPort Utility on all machines and updated firmware to 7.3.1. To see the other machines, make sure file sharing is on. Firewall on the PCs may need to be turned off. The printer plugged into the USB port also worked with all the XP systems and the iMac with a few missing features on iMac (I am assuming different driver issues). BTW, logging onto the created network and accessing the Time Capsule HD are separate. If you've entered different passwords for the HD and wireless networking when setting up Time Capsule initially (which I did through the iMac first), you'll need to enter them separately with the XP machines. You could also try resetting Time Capsule. Seems to work for others.

ITunes will not install, error message "could not access network location"

I just got a new iPod Classic for Christmas but I have an older Mac so I was going to use an extra PC that we have laying around the house but every time I try to install iTunes, I get this Error:
Could not access network location \\S090100\d$\Data.Backup\C09010009-FDR\My Documents\My Pictures\.
It does not have Error 1606 anywhere on it and it asks me if I want to Retry or Cancel. I have tried EVERYTHING, please help!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

When i try to install i tunes it goes so far down the installation process then i get a message ' could not access network location %APPDATA%\. Can any one help.

When i try to install i tunes, it goes so far down the installation process and then comes up with a message ' could not access network location %APPDATA%\. I then retry and it comes up with the same message.
It also tells me i tunes needs 'Quick Time' to support the software. I have downloaded Quicktime from i tunes seperately and gone through the whole process again, only to get the same message.
Can anyone please help?

These kind of messages can often be cleared by using the Microsoft Installer cleanup Utility.
Here is a method for cleanup of your old iTunes installation and reinstall.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista or Win 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

ITunes unable to install? - Could not access network location %APPDATA%/.

Okay, I received a never used iPod Nano
(Model MC034LL ,Version 1.0. 2 PC, it looks like this http://www.iphonemag.ch/wp-content/uploa…
for Christmas this year, however; I'm having some trouble installing iTunes.
I have already downloaded iTunes, but installing seems to be the problem.
The 'iTunesSetup' icon appears on my desktop and I double-clicked it to begin the installing process.
When I do so, it says
"Gathering required information... Status: Computing Space Requirements"
after a few seconds it says, "Could not access network location %APPDATA%/."
As soon as I click 'retry' it says the same thing.
If I press cancel, the same message pops up and then it says,
"iTunes Installer Completed
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
Your system has not been modified To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click exit to finish the installer"
I tried the help page for iTunes, but noting seemed helpful.

Could not access network location %APPDATA%/
With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

Exchange setup error: "There was a problem accessing the registry on this computer"

Hi,
i am trying to install Exchange 2007 SP1 in a Windows 2003 Server standard 32 bits version.
During the "Readiness checks" i received the next error in "Hub transport role prerequisites":
Error:
There was a problem accessing the registry on this computer. This may happen if the Remote Registry service is not running; it may also indicate a network problem.
Remote Registry service is running. I've searched for the error in google and in some topics appears that the error is due to the "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing" is not installed in the LAN properties.

I dont know what more to do, any help will be appreciated.
