Samba doesn't want to play nice with DNS

I'm trying to join my machine to my organization's AD domain, and one of the steps is that I do a "net ads dns register", which comes back with "DNS update support not enabled at compile time!" I rebuilt samba from ABS, adding the --with-dnsupdate, as specified in my organization's documentation and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/156686. However, I'm still getting the same error after installing my package. Any ideas?

EJT,
Sorry but I'm not 100% sure I understand your question.
When you say
noticed that when putting it on that the theme doesn't start to play immediately upon starting it up as it used to do.
Are you talking about 1) pushing the "play" button inside iDVD to preview the project?
Or 2) are you talking about playing the completed iDVD on your Mac?
Or 3) on a DVD set-top stand-alone player?
If it's #1, then try deleting your iDVD plist file, com.apple.iDVD.plist
If it's #2, check your DVD player (not iDVD) preferences. Look at the "previously viewed" tab.
If it's #3, then it's probably the quality of the burn itself. Try new blank DVDs, or use "Save as Disk Image" and then mount and play the image with the DVD player in your applications folder.

Trouble w/ iTunes & external hard drives: iTunes doesn't like to play nice

This is a story about my external hard drives and my macbook pro. Some time ago, I moved my itunes music folder with all of my songs and movies consolidated to it onto external hard drive #1, but kept my itunes organizational data on my macbook pro's internal hard drive. Life was good. I had more internal hard drive space on my macbook pro then ever because all my songs and movies were gone, and itunes worked flawlessly as long as hard drive #1 was connected.
To prepare for the future, I also dragged a copy of my itunes music folder with all my songs and movies in it onto hard drive #2 for safekeeping. Now, i had 2 copies of my itunes songs and movies, one on each hard drive. My insurance policy was in place. One day, hard drive #1 stopped mounting on my computer. It was time for old #1 leave me for the sweet peace of the afterlife. I bought a new hard drive, hard drive #3. I dragged my backup of hard drive #1's old files, including my itunes music folder with all of my songs and movies, from hard drive #2 to hard drive #3.
Now, my entire itunes data folder is sitting on hard drive #3 and yet itunes doesn't seem to want to play nice. All of my files have cute little exclamation marks next to them. When I double click on a song, iTunes pretends to be lost. It asks me to locate the mp3 and naturally I find it right in my iTunes music folder by searching for it, only this time it's sitting on hard drive #3 instead of hard drive #1. By going manually through my library this way, i could keep all playlists, play counts, ratings, and other lovely bits of data intact. However, this would take years, as my songs and movies number in the bajillions. If there isn't an easy solution I am missing, surely there must be a script or program that does this legwork for me, perhaps while I slumber.
No one on the internet seems to have this problem; everyone wants to use their ipods to restore their songs and movies. Since I own an iPod Touch, restoring the pitiful amount of files I have on it is a waste of my time, especially when all the files from my iPod are sitting right on little old hard drive #3 anyway. Citizens of the interwebs, here my plea: I require a solution to my problem of getting iTunes to recognize the folder of data it once interfaced with so seamlessly. I require a solution that does not destroy four years worth of playlists, and preferably not the "date added" data on my tracks either. All other data is fine for me to lose, but preferably not. I already know that finding the tracks manually keeps all data intact. My first inclination is that a solution to my problem may be to speed up that process. For those who seek an answer, as I do: godspeed, brave mac users. God.... godspeed.

BE AWARE THOUGH:
I followed these steps and had a strange issue come up. I don't think it was at all related following the steps above. But just double check your music BEFORE you throw out any of the music from you computers hard drive.
Here's what happen.
Some of my music forgot what file type they were. I had some that decided to be plist others jpg others something else. It was totally random. And a HUGE pain to replace the music. But I worked through it.
Hope that helps.

Music shows square next to it as if downloading and doesn't want to play.

My computer broke and is being fixed, all my things were deleted. In the mean time I wanted to manually manage my music until it returned and i could copy all my music to my computer. when I synced some new music from another computer with itunes 11 all my old music doesn't want to play and shows a square next to it. if I try to open it on itunes the songs all say file does not exist.

Need help Please. Which play nice with macs? Palm Treo's Or Tmobile MDA?

Hi all, I post on here from time to time, but hardly anyone ever answers my questions. Here's my dilema. I bought a Tmobile MDA over the weekend that runs microsoft windows mobile 5.0. And while playing with it have noticed some things about it that i think are'nt that good. For example, I like the fact that its a windows os, but think that it's flawed. I have done quite a bit of research but don't think that it's active sync software is even compatible with mac osx. so have'nt even tried to mess with it. now i'm still in the 14 day window and am thinking about returning it. but here's the thing....
I know that tmobile has EDGE, and it's considerably slower than verizon or sprints EVDO. (since i've researched it i know that edge is around the 70-170KBPS range when EVDO has 300-700KBPS) And tonight i was messing with this tmobile MDA and finally got it to work to connect to the net with it using bluetooth and it's "modem" ability to connect it to the web. But it S U C K S! i went to and did a bandwith test and i was only getting like 12.1-27.1kbps download (after running 2 tests) dude, it feels slower than dialup!
so with that bullet against it, comes the compatible part. I can't sycn this thing with my mac for NOTHING! do any of you out there have a palm treo? (either verizon, sprint, or att.... carrier X?) How does it sync with your mac? is it hard? any extra software i need to get/buy? have any of you used it to connect to the net? and if so, how's the speed? And here's an even bettter question... How long did it take to config it to work using the phone as a modem? Did you use bluetooth? or serial link? was it easy to config? Where did you find the instructions?
I know these are a lot of questions, but this is a large investment for me. I mean this thing ain't cheap and it does'nt really play nice. I don't mind paying a little extra, for some peace of mind, and knowing that it won't crash often and will work with my mac. Anyone out there got any other suggestions? I would really appreciate it. I would like your opinion on which one is the easiest to use that plays nice with a mac, and has a interface that's almost as nice. Thank you so much for your time. I will be following this post closely and comment you all back for your replys
Mac Book Pro 1.83 GHZ 512 Ram Mac OS X (10.4.5)

It really is a toss up cause Ive owned two Treo's and Ive read extensive reviews on Windows mobile devices and it seems to me like they're pretty similar in the way of hardware and software(minus the fact of using different operating systems). So I think the determining factor really ought to be more focused on how much you're willing to pay, and the level of support you get for each device. I recently got rid of my Treo 650 due to an interesting touchscreen problem and got a windows mobile device(should come tomorrow)
in the way of syncing with a mac:
The Treo is extremely simple to set up and use with a Mac(keep in mind Im not talking about the 700w/wx)in every aspect. Palm provides OSx compatible software(though its almost impossible to get rid of after installation). However, in my experience, Palm does not really do a good job in the customer service department. While they have a rather extensive support page for each device(some of the info is outdated), that's pretty much all you get unless you don't mind spending hrs scouring various forums. Talking to customer service is a joke. Like I said I had a problem with the touchscreen and the best the rep could give me was "try a hard reset" and "send it in for repair".
I have yet to experience what windows mobile will be like. At the very least with syncing, theres syncing software made by people who had OSx in mind(ie: Missing Sync or Pocketmac) who will probably be able to help out a lot more in this area and possible also be able to help out with the other issues you mentioned.
a good place to check out would be howardforums.com, you'll probably get better answers there.

I want to play guitar with a friend through my iphone and his ipad.

I want to play guitar with a friend through my iphone4 and his ipad. Is this possible??? I hooked my Iphone4 to a FM transmitter so I could hear my friend through my stereo. However, whenever I played, his feed cut out. Is there a way to play music in real time using these devices?
Thanks...

Why won't iTunes 'play nice' with Windows 8.1

After following painstaking, tedious Troubleshooting hoop-jumping**, iTunes (latest version) STILL refuses to "play nice" with Windows 8.1
Stalls out (Windows Task Manager reports "not responding") and does truly nasty things like blanking computer display and making Windows 8.1 system commands non-responsive (iTunes also has to be Forced closed ['End Task'] using Task Manager)
My question:
ANY HOPE that iTunes will EVENTUALLY actually work with Windows 8.1?? (Of course, there's NO '8.1' listed in drop-down menu, inspiring further confidence!)
Adding INSULT to INJURY - Apple programmers DEMAND/FORCE creation of NSA-grade Password to Login to iTunes!!?! (8 minimum, mandatory Capital and lower case letters, plus number(s), plus NO repeats, plus NO "common passwords" [whatever THOSE are] etc. etc. etc....ad nauseum)
ARGGGH!
** Update iTunes, start in Safe mode, re-start (iTunes & Windows), check AV status, shut down AV & firewall, scan for viruses, check status of all drivers, all DLL's, any "possibly conflicting" applications [whatever THOSE are], create new User Account, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum!
At the risk of repeating myself ... ARGGGH!

Just checking that you've tried "iTunes Safe Mode" as opposed to "Windows Safe Mode"?
Press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT the instant you click the icon that launches iTunes and keep holding until this message appears.
Click Continue, then close iTunes and reopen. Some people seem to have had success with this approach...
Alternatively, have you tried removing all iTunes components and then reinstalling as shown in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?

Make Illustrator play nice with OS X Spaces, eh?

Hey Mr & Mrs Adobe --
Can you pretty please make your apps play nice with OS X Spaces? It's only been around since October 2007. I'm tired of having documents in two different spaces. k'thanks.

While I don't believe this discussion belongs here (try Feature Requests, next time), I think Adobe is not completely innocent here. Spaces is a feature of the OS that's been around for two years, and that Adobe has had access to for even longer. Other companies with fewer resources than Adobe, and without developer seeds, were able to support Spaces from day 1. Even programs released before Leopard usually work with it.
Adobe has proven that they do not care about Mac OS conventions or about fully supporting the Macintosh OS. For the amount of money they charge for their programs and upgrades (which are often little more than bug fixes that should be no charge) it is not asking too much for support of basic OS features.

If apple is dropping iDisk are they going to play nice with others?

If apple is dropping iDisk are they going to play nice with Pages amd Numbers apps and let me access SkyDrive, DropBox, Box and so on? Or am I stuck with the lame iWork?

Whether Apple will ever support direct connections to any of the other cloud services is something no one here knows or can say. You can comment to Apple on the matter here, if you wish:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
For now, there is a workaround for DropBox by using an intervening service and the Copy to WebDAV option. Whether there's a similar option for other services I don't know. Otherwise, the only option is sharing via email or synchronzation via iCloud.

Cheap wireless router that plays nice with macs??

Greetings:
I have the older cone-shaped airport extreme base station...
it's working fine & I'm very happy with it.
My situation is this....
Periodically I go thru times of network degradation when I pull my hair out trying to ascertain if the issue is my ISP mothership, my cable modem, the airport extreme base station, or any of the myriad of links in the chain along the way.
It's struck me on more than one occasion that it sure would be handy if I had *another wireless router on the shelf that I could grab & go with.
At issue, however are several matters:
--the fact that many other routers don't play nice with macs
--the fact that I **need to do WEP security (it seems to be being dropped by a lot of newer routers).......but my TIVO won't do WPA & also I still have 2 older imacs on my home wireless network.
I would LOVE to hear a recommendation of something cheap & locally plentiful (like at the local best buy) that still does WEP & will play nice with macs.
Thanks for your help.

You have the option to configure both your AirPort Extreme and the AirPort Express to "participate in a WDS network, so the Express will connect to the AiirPort Extreme using wireless only and then "extend" the reach of the wireless network.
Or, connect the Express to the Extreme using an Ethernet cable and configure it to "create a wireless nework", which will also provide more wireless coverage.....with greater bandwidth because you are connecting routers together using Ethernet, not wireless.
The following Apple document will give you all the options:

AFP doesn't play nice with Kerberos...

I'd prefer any open ideas before blowing away the OD master and redoing all the accounts....
If I leave the AFP Authentication type to "Any", network accounts can login to any computer (and with network or portable home directories). If set to Kerbeors, we get the "User account is located on a AFP/SMB share...."
If logged in, when attempting to connect by AFP, the "Standard" authentication appears. At this point, if I set the AFP access type back to "Kerberos" (which prevents users from logging in), they will get a -35 error as stated before (one or more required items cannot be found...blah blah). Interestingly, if we use the standalone Kerberos app (System/Library/Core Services/Kerberos) to get a Kerberos TGT, we can then connect to AFP shares using Kerberos authentication. So, it seems as if Kerberos is having problems getting connections started.
So, for now, it seems as if I have to rely on AFP access via the non-kerberized ("Standard") method, which definitely reduces our security. But, at least people can login to network machines.
So, in the end, Kerberos doesn't really know what is going on...it seems like its pretty confused.

Many different systems... Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Yes, you're on track with the quickest way to solve this problem: Recreate your Open Directory Master. However, you can save all of the data stored in the database, except for user passwords, if you use Workgroup Manager's File > Export command to save your users, groups, and computer lists. Even MCX records for same are preserved.
(Exporting from Workgroup Manager is not the same as doing a directory backup and restore via Server Admin. Doing a restore would likely not solve your problem.)
On to the specifics: I'm guessing that you created the Open Directory Master when your server was using Mac OS X Server 10.4.5 or earlier. Before version 10.4.6, Kerberization was a hit-and-miss procedure: sometimes it would work and sometimes it would not, even when the server's hostname was properly set and a DNS record existed for that name. The problem resides in a hostname resolution issue, but it's one that is most easily fixed by updating to Mac OS X Server 10.4.6 or 10.4.7 and recreating your Open Directory Master. In Mac OS X Server 10.4.6, Apple introduced a better way for the server's hostname to be set.
In versions 10.4 through 10.4.5, you'd have to make the following changes before promoting your server to Open Directory Master: edit /etc/hostconfig and change HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- to the server's host name, ensure that the server had a valid DNS record for its hostname (via the server's DNS service or existing DNS service), and run the hostname (or equivalent) command to ensure that the hostname was really set. All of this was required to circumvent a system that Apple had put into place but that wasn't effectively working. With the HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- entry in /etc/hostconfig, the server was supposed to set its hostname choosing the first of these that was true: doing a DHCP client ID search, doing a reverse DNS search from the primary Ethernet interface's IPv4 address, setting the hostname to the Bonjour name, then setting it to "localhost." Unfortunately, what always happened, unless the initial boot returned a different result, was the Bonjour name was returned as the hostname. (Some Apple literature calls the Bonjour name, which is a mDNS name, the "local hostname.") Thus, running hostname would always return the Bonjour name, which prevented Kerberos from starting, as Kerberos needs a valid DNS name for the server's hostname.
Starting with Mac OS X Server 10.4.6, Apple introduced a better way to do a reverse DNS lookup and set the hostname automatically at startup time. Thus, for 10.4.6 and later, /etc/hostconfig needs to have HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-, and you need to ensure that the server is providing DNS services or that your existing DNS services have an entry for the server already.
You may find this article helpful: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302044
It offers an additional suggestion of adding an entry for the server to /etc/hosts, should some problem with DNS arise. It also uses scutil --set to set the hostname; this command performs the equivalent of using the hostname command as I've suggested. In my testing since 10.4.6, I have had to recreate some Open Directory databases in order to get Kerberos working (or working again); however, usually the hostname is set properly after a restart automatically.
Just for reference, the "Standard" authentication for AFP uses Diffie-Hellman Exchange (DHX), which is an encrypted password transport.

My iBook constantly wants to play Chess with me!!

I have a G4 iBook that is a few years old now. It still works great but can be a little slow sometimes and the battery doesn't last long when it's not plugged into the wall. But get this: I will be working along on the laptop on the internet or iTunes and the Chess application will open on it's own! It's been happening for some time now. I thought it was just a little quirk and ignored it. Lately it's been happening a lot. Sometimes the application will open, I will close it, and then right away it will open again. Sometimes when I've had enough I will just leave it open and continue working on other stuff, and the application will come to the front above my browser or whatever I'm working on. Chess isn't in my dock so I'm not clicking on it accidentally. It seems to happen when I use my mouse more. Pretty weird, and sometimes I get creeped out by it. Does my iBook just want to play a game with me?

Hi again,
I was going to suggest that you quit the process; see how it goes. If the 'perp' did his job properly, though, it will probably restart next time you reboot. Keep your eye on it.
Are you able to select the 'Firewall' tab in System Preferences>Sharing? If you get the spinning beachball for a time followed by a pop-up telling you that the Firewall is being managed/controlled (I forget the exact wording, it's been a long time...) someone may have installed a firewall management app like NetbarrierX, Flying Buttress, etc. which would have allowed them to open ports of their choosing unbeknown to you.
Without disclosing anything that could further compromise your security could you elaborate on the 'protected network' and who set it up?
You say: "I'm not entirely sure I want to uninstall it because the Chess mystery isn't too annoying." The chess thing is only a very small part of it, whoever set up the VNC could be seeing everything that you are doing on the computer. You might like to check the tower for applevncserver too... (VNC stands for Virtual Network Client, that should tell you something.)
Have fun and take care! Someone is watching you.

In iTunes, is there any way to play one song at at time and have the song stop at its end. I want to play guitar with a track and have that track stop playing rather than going to the next song.

I want to play a single song in iTunes on my ipad and have the track stop when the song finishes, rather than itunes playing the next track. I play guitar with the track and need iTunes to stop at the end of the song.
I have worked around this issue by creating a separate play list for each song, then inserting the song into the play list. I would like to find a more straight forward solution that would eliminate this extra step. On my PC, I use QuickTime to bring up an individual song and then can play one track at a time.
Thanks!

How can I turn off the volume limitor on my ipod nano? I want to play it with a docking station, it is no where near as loud as an old 4GB ipod!

Hello, please can you tell me how to turn off the volume limiotr on my ipod nano? I want to play it on a docking station and it just isn't as loud as I want it to be. An old ipod is much louder.

I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection. All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again. The big arrowhead just get's in the way. The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down. If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences? I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

HELP! iWeb doesn't want to play

Hello all,
I love iWeb! My computer was ripped off, so I have purchased a new macbook pro with Lion 10.7, disappointed not to have iWeb on it, I downloaded the '08 version of iLife, but when I load iWeb none of the templates work (you are given the option to choose them, but they are all basically white pages)
Would love to be able to get it working if any of you smart people can help me.
