Samba - refuses to authorise

I bought a new MacBook running 10.6.2 as my dear old G4PB finally gave up the ghost. I wish I hadn't... In 20 years of using a Mac this is, by a long way, the worst experience I have had.
The latest problem - of far, far too many - involves Samba.
At work I use Samba to connect to some Unix servers. On my old G4 no problem. On every other Mac in the place (it is a Mac shop) - all running 10.5 - no problem. On 10.6 - no.
I have tried everything - adding the :139 port, adding the IP address to the username, passing the username/password in the address, everything - it simply refuses to authorise.
If I use smbclient on the command line it will allow me to connect to the volume, however if I try and use mount_smbfs - exactly the same problem as if I use the Apple-K route. The username/password are rejected. I can see the volumes - they appear in the list, but clicking on them and an error message is thrown.
In teh system log I get the following error:
Feb 10 10:45:43 localhost /System/Library/CoreServices/NetAuthAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/NetAuthAgent[462]: smb_mount: mount failed to 192.168.100.166/XXXXXXXX : syserr = Authentication error
Does anyone have a reliable workaround? I cannot change the settings on the Unix box as they are very specific and the sysadmin would rather gargle hot bleach than change it - and frankly nor should he have to change it.
Unless I can solve this I will be forced to downgrade to 10.5 at the weekend - which, given all the other problems I have had with a brand new computer not working properly, is looking like a very attractive solution. Grrrrr.

Good question - I will find out. I take it you mean by "open" without password protection.
I would expect those to be ok - from the error log it appears to be an authentication issue.
The volumes you can mount are being authorised I take it? If so - do you do anything apart from passing a username/password?
If I do go down to 10.5 I will just wipe the disk and start again. Another weekend spent rebuilding my machine ... sigh. I have had more problems with this release than I have had with Vista. Yes, it really is that bad.
It p*sses me off that Apple can release a product that is so poor. This is a brand new machine - so any config issues would be the default ones.
Searching on google for snow leopard and Samba turns up a shed-load of people complaining of the same problem.
Sorry - I am ranting now ...

Splitting does not work on a networked drive.

My iPhoto Library is on a following networked drive connected by cat6.
Linux:CentOS 4.2+samba 3.0.10-1.4E.12.2.
In this environment, splitting photos does not work. When splitting photos, initially photos are splitted into two events. Then I change a event's name from 'untitled event' to something.
After that, new directory is created automatically to store photos of new event, and then photos of a new events are moved into this new directory. However, in actuality, new direcotory was created and was renamed, but none of photo was moved from an original event directory into a new directory. As a result, iPhoto lost links for these photos, and I can't access these photos any more.
I think permission of iPhoto Library is correct. Because I can add, edit and delete photos manually within iPhoto.
As a workaround, I create a new event first manually, and then cut & paste photos into that from an existing event.
According to posted topics in this forum, it seems that iPhoto contains a problem when iPhoto Library is stored on a networked drive. Is this also an issue that only Apple can fix...?
Any hint would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.

My problem was also solved. The root cause of this problem was ':'. When splitting events, iPhoto attempts to create a folder named like '2007:08:16' temporarily. In my case, as I described my Library was stored on a Linux Server via the Samba. But the Samba refuses a folder name which is including ':'.
That's why, iPhoto was not able to create this temporary folder.
To solve this problem, you have to throw the Samba away and use another file sharing architecture. I decided to use netatalk. Netatalk can accept ':' as a folder name.
I already installed the netatalk on my Linux Server actually and tried splitting events. As a result, iPhoto was able to split events as expected.
FYI:
From my understanding, most of NAS products are using the Samba as their architecture. People using NAS has a possibility to face this problem.

Apple Authorised Service Provider refusing to do warranty work - what to do

Hi all,
I have a 1st Gen 1.8 20" that has died with a power issue (big time but intermittent).
It fits within the serial number range published for Warranty Extension work (replace midplane board I gather...?).
I have followed the advice given in the support section and taken it to my Authorised Repair Centre a week ago and made it clear why.
I received a call yesterday saying they have had it on test and it hasn't failed so it isn't covered, do I want to pay for a replacement main board?!!!!
My suggestion was that they check my serial on the Apple site and they will see it is covered for warranty work. Their reply was that they have 'sent..' my serial to Apple and Apple say it isn't covered for the Warranty Extension work.
Well it is a dead iMac that fits the criteria. What the heck can I do?
Any advice more than welcome, I feel quite powerless.
Cheers

First, I'd advise you to leave the whole 'badcaps.com' issue aside. Unless you have visually identified such a problem (and they are dead simple to spot visually, more often than not), you're just leaving yourself open for the obvious "There's not one there..." reply, to which you'll lack any comeback.
I'd second the recommendation about revisiting the issue with your local service department first, and I would personally do that before trying to contact Apple at all. If you have any sort of a documentation showing when and how you've suffered failures, even if it's just notes that you've made or emails about the problems that you've sent, anything at all .... carry them in with you. Try to talk with someone other than whomever you dealt with the first time; you have enough problems going on without having to also deal with convincing someone to change his mind or admit an error.
That presupposes that there was one. First you have to make sure of that, i.e., are you sure that they are even allowed to simply take your word, absent any evidence or any testing results to confirm it, that some condition exists? If they aren't so allowed, then it just doesn't seem worthwhile to continue at that level.
As for Apple? My own choice would be a phone call to AppleCare. I'd expect to be charged the standard fee for out-of-warranty telephone support, but would also expect that — if this were subsequently identified as a covered exception, and verified as a covered hardware fault — that that fee would be refunded. I'd want a tracking number to be assigned (would be anyway) and, at the end of the process, would expect to come out of it with an RMA or whatever the Apple equivalent to that is; this would essentially take the AASP out of the decision-making loop, given that he was still going to be involved at all.

I have an ipod touch 5th generation, bought a new laptop and authorised it. when i try to sync it says it's not possible because there isn't enough space to hold everything in the itunes library.it won't give me the option of choosing what i want to sync.

I have an ipod touch 5th generation 64g . Just bought a new laptop and authorised it to use itunes library. When i try and sync my ipod it says it can't do it because there isn't enough space on my ipod to hold everything in the itunes library. I already know that i can't fit everything on my ipod but when using my old laptop i was able to choose what i wanted to sync. Now i don't seem to have the option of choosing what i can sync, it just refuses to do it as there isn't enough space. Why is this???

Hello, peppertwist.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

glad you posted it first i had the same problem.
However, samba was complaining that
printing = none
was invalid. I removed that line and it works great.
thanks

Apple refuse to replace stand that is not 1 year old, any suggestions other than throw mac in the bin

My mac is not 12 months old until 27 December and the screen will no longer stay up, Apple have refused to acknowledge design fault or machine fault and suggested I broke it. The machine has sat on my desk since new and never been moved until I was assured the part was covered by warranty and to take it to the nearest authorised repairer, who happens to be 300km away, so after a 600km round trip and being told it is not covered by warranty I took the machine home. jI rang apple the next day and was assured I had Apple care for another 2 years and it was covered. So I arranged it with another authorised repairer who ordered the part and said it would be here today or tomroow, now he has just rung to say apple initially accepted the warranty claim but now someone else has cancelled the order and said it is not covered by warranty. My question is if under fair trading a home pc has a lifespan of 3 to 5 years is a part that fails after 10 months not fit for the purpose it was sold for. Very disappointed in Apple and whave for sale two Iphones, an ipad and an imac. slightly used and the screen wont stay up, going back to HP, have never paid for extended care with them and never had a problem either, just thought apple was better, now I know they are just cheap rubbish and dont stand up, lol

Alternately you could write to Apple at their Head Office in Cupatino. Write, not send eMail (there is no email address anyway and letters are always answered.
This problem has come up several times and your troubles are multiplied by lack of easy access and a time scale approaching the warranty limits.
Apple are rarely difficult if you approach them sensibly and in a moderate manner. But write now before the warranty date passes and keep copies. I can't tell what country you are in but in Europe and the UK your claim can be made within two years under the EU fair trading rules.

Thunar can not open samba shared

Hi! I installed samba to share files to my Windows VM, I need to run some software to works. I share my home and /run/media/ to share all usb mounted in Linux.
With my VM I have not issues. Windows can see and access to files. If is a usb first I need to access them in linux to mount. not issues.
But when I try with thunar, I use XFCE, I got to browse network I have Windows Network, xpsl421x, XPSL421X (File Sharing). When I try to enter some of them, I receive the next messages:

Where can I find an authorised iPhone repair shop in Indonesia?

I bought my iPhone 5s in a bundled package from Indonesia's largest carrier on 28 January 2014 at its Jakarta office and its still under warranty except for user mistake.
My iphone fell in a swimming pool in Bali and is now not working and am scared to plug it in again as people say it can blow up terminally so should get checked at repair shop. My mistake, but i want to pay an authorised apple service center and look at it to seek what can be done. Of course its at my cost.
Ido not want to bring it to any unqualified or untrained technician who could do potentially more damage
The carrier's branch in Bali said to go to the only major retailer who does repairs here but they refused me as they only repair the ones they sell directly.
Then I called the carrier head office in Jakarta and they referred me to the supplier/importer that they partnered with in the bundling of the package (included purchase of phone and one year mobile and internet service all paid for in up front lump sum payment.)
This company said they do repairs under warranty but only if the damage is not the fault of the user - so they could not try to repair it even though I offered to pay. They wont accept it. They said the only ones they look at are under warranty and they usually just replace them, not repair them. They said my only solution with them was to buy a new iPhone from them.
After calling around to many iPhone retail outlets, none offered repair services and referred me back to the same carrier who already said they could not help
I then called the pple support number listed under the apple support website - 001803657955 and a subsequent number given me on the call 0018030612009 and after following a few prompts got the message to call my carrier - back to square one.
Please, Please, Please tell me where I can put my Iphone to an authorised iPhone repair shop in Indonesia where they can inspect it professionally and either fix it or tell me its terminally dead. I am quite prepared to pay for this.
Apple, please tell me where to go.

There are different levels of damage according to how wet it gets. and some friends who got their iPhone wet were able to get it going again when they took it to Singapore.
THe he problem I have is that there is Zero Apple authorised repair service for ANY problem one has with an IPhone if it is not covered by warranty. You cannot pay to have service on and IPhone if it is not working for ANY reason if it is out of warranty period or if still under warranty but not working through fault of user. No matter how much you want to pay they won't open it up and check it out.
SO now there are some small businesses who see this gap in Apples service to customers and offer to repair services themselves. With wet IPhones I heard they mainly open it up and dry it out with alcohol. And sometimes this works. But none have received training from Apple so it's a cowboy business and results are uncertain.
imagine if an automobile brand refused to support paid repairs for motor vehicles out of warranty period.
the cost of a new IPhone 5s here is $950, and it seems the new IPhone 6 will be out in one month, so it seems crazy to buy a new IPhone 5 now.

Authorisations to run Adobe Reader under Windows 8

Under windows 8 with adobe reader 11, I have not been able to launch the program. Each time the system says I don't have the authorisations required (even when I follow instructions to get additional authorisations which I seem unable to obtain despite using the normal sequence of "properties" , "security" " advanced etc. and in this case I get the following message in the "target" slot"
The name "c:\program files\adobe\READER 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is not valid. Verify that the routing (?) and the name of the file are correct
when I click on the Security tag although the location of the programes of Adobe Reader 11 are in fact in the location detailed above. It would seem that windows 8 has a security system that I don't seem to be able to adjust. (I have used Acrobat under Vista and under XP without these problems) . At the moment and after three days of efforts I am still incapable of getting Reader 11 to run..

(a) After installation of Reader 11.0, the following text appears on the
screen after either double clic on the screen icone or clic on c: directory
(c:\programmes\adobe\Reader 11.0 :-
Title: Reader 11.0

(Translation (not on screen): You don't have the authorisations required to
accede to this file)
(There are two tabs ("Continue" and "Cancel")
If one clics on "Continuer" the screen reads:

devez utiliser l'onglet de securité :
Translation: Acces to this file for you has been denied. To acces this
file you should use the "Security" tab.
One tab: "Fermer" (Close)
If one then does a right clic on the Reader 11.0 screen icone, and then
clic on "properties" then clic on "Security", I get a listing of "groupes or
users" which for this computer gives the following : "System", "John

"Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs), "Interactif". Each of these has a check
mark against "Controle Totale",
"Modification", "Lecture et execution", lecture", "Ecriture" and the three
"rulepar" entries each have a check mark against "Autorisations spéciales".
If one clics on the tab "Avancé" then
on the "Autorisations tab 'john willis ([email protected]_
(mailto:[email protected]) ), 'Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur), "INTERACTIF",
"Administrateurs (rulepar\administrateurs), "Systeme" all have "Controle Totale"
, "Interactif" has "Lecture et Execution" and "Administrateyr
(rulepar\Administrateur) and "john willis ([email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) )
have "Special"
on the "Partage" (share?) tab there are two entries (Type = Autoriser"

on the Audit tab there is nothing and on the Acces Effectif page there is

ITunes - Fraudulent account activity, Apple refusing to help

Got 2 email receipts from iTunes last night, for 2 gift cards, one for £25 and one for £75.
Logged into my iTunes account via iTunes and there they were in my purchase history, sent to some unknown hotmail address.
Removed my card details and changed my password.
Contacted iTunes through their email support to get Apple to cancel those gift cards and issue a refund.
Got a reply in 90 minutes with an offer of 5 song credits and a clear "we cannot refund your card" along with a "contact your financial institution".
After another 3 emails form me, and 3 back from Apple I'm still left with the same line "we cannot refund your card". Sent them one more email last night which has so far been ignored.
Contacted the bank this morning only to be told they can't do anything as it's a checking account not a credit card(!) They informed me that it is Apple's responsibility to refund the money as it is down to them to ensure the transactions are authorised.
I'm heading down to the bank to fill out a charge back claim form which they will send to Apple but that's all they can do...
This is beyond ridiculous.
1) There should be a phone number for the iTunes store at least for fraudulent account activity.
2) Apple, like any other company CAN refund money to a card, saying they "cannot" is a downright lie.
3) Apple must be in breach of every consumer trading law in the UK (I use the UK store) with this policy.
4) I use a secure password, I use trusted networks and no-one has access to my Mac. How the **** did the hacker get in?
5) What should I do when both Apple and the bank refuse to help? To be honest I'm not annoyed at the bank as it's not their fault. This is a security breach of Apple's system and they're liable in my opinion.
I've bought 700 items through iTunes since it started and this is how they treat me. Well no more. That gravy train is over for them.
And don't get me started on the thousands upon thousands of pounds I've spent on Apple hardware and software...

Thanks for the info.
Annoyingly the rep in question (someone called Judy) refuses to escalate the issue to somene who can look into this and perform the refund.
This is absolutely ridiculous, you're basically left with no-one to talk to (she/they are now ignoring my follow-up emails) , I've never seen anything like it. I've heard bad things about the likes of Paypal and eBay but Apple seem keen to add themselves to the list of sites not to trust due to a complete lack of customer service and boilerplate responses. Heck, Im sure last year (or it may be this coming Jan 1st) UK law changed to require online retailers to post their telephone number on the site...
This useless rep is quoting me US Federal Law when I'm using the UK iTunes store and the terms and conditions on there clearly state that the transaction is covered under UK law...
And UK law says they have to refund me.
I've dealt with Apple for years, I've used the AppleCare helpline and the Genius bar many times and every time service has been A1. I'm genuinely amazed that this type of customer service goes on on the iTunes store... And especially about such a serious issue.

Itunes refuses to upgrade

I have an Iphone 4s with the latest version of IOS and the problem is that whenever I connect it to Itunes, it says "Iphone cannot be used because it requires Itunes 10.6.3 or later". So i tried to update my Itunes, but no matter what I do, it refuses to update. Always saying something or the other on the lines that I am not authorised or whatever. So I thought maybe I'll uninstall it, can't do that either as I can't find the uninstall and it refuses to delete from the control panel thing and no matter how I try to delete it, it just won't delete. I am at my wits end as I cannot manage to downgrade the IOS and I can't seem to update my Itunes, so I can't back up everything from my computer to the phone, so really it's useless having either! Please help!!!

I thought it was as its been forever since I updated it. but I clicked "about itunes" and it said it was 10.5.2.1. Anyway, I tried deleting all folders associated with it in safe mode and managed to delete all of them except programme files/common files/apple/internet services. I thought I'd still try and install itunes from the web but right at the end it said I had no right to do so! So that means I can't manage to delete or install/update. Service pack number is 2 and it's a vista home premium. I used to have an Iphone 4 with the older IOS and it used to work perfectly well with itunes. Whenever I tried to download itunes before, it used to give me the same problem, so I was fine not updating it as long as it was working with my phone. Then my phone was stolen, so I borrowed the 4s from a friend with an updated IOS and noticed this syncing problem. Now I have got myself another iphone 4 which has an updated IOS as well, and is showing me the exact same problem with itunes.

IPhone 3G refuses to transfer purchased apps to iTunes

My iPhone 3G refuses to transfer purchased apps to iTunes. This is causing me major problems with syncing.
Whenever I attempt to transfer apps from the iPhone to iTunes it goes through the motions, but never actually transfers anything. It displays the various apps in the info area at the top of the screen, but the progress bar never advances.
In comparsion when I sync other iPhones, using the same install of iTunes, the progress bar advances and apps are transferred.
The same also happens on clean installs of iTunes on other computers, it seems to be my iPhone that is the common factor. I have tried restoring the phone from a backup, which makes no difference.
This started happening months ago and the phone has since been upgraded to 3.0 and 3.1, but the problem still persists.
Originally it was just a minor irritation, but I made and attempt to fix it which has made things worse. I deleted all the apps from with iTunes and then did "Transfer purchases" in the hope that it might fix something.
It didn't fix anything. Also, I cannot now sync at all.
If I do sync iTunes now does "transferring purchases", fails to transfer and then deletes all the apps (and data) from my iPhone. It also means I can't sync music, podcasts or anything else.
I can't sync anything else, because I can't temporarily turn off app syncing because then iTunes warns that the apps on the iPhone will be deleted.
I also tried de-authorising and re-authorising.
What can I do to get app syncing working again ?

I am still struggling with the same problem, doesn't anyone have any suggestions ?

Simple network: Windows 7 file server & several Macs and Linux machines- SAMBA bombing out?

Hi guys, i know this is really more of a windows support question, but here goes:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit acting as a file server, turned off all the usual MS authentication stuff so Macs and Linux systems connect with password without issues..
except when i start copying certain files/file types/names to the system, it will break the network connection, then refuse any more connections, all macs and linux machines on the network are booted, from the PC however i can still access the Macs shares volumes.. (the macs still see the windows machine & pinging is still there, but if i try to connect i get 'check the name/ip address' error
im no expert, but its as if the Samba service on the windows machine gets killed and im not sure what to do to get it to re-connect other then restarting the system, but as the system is also a terminal server users always have apps/documents open and its 'never a good time' to do it..
if there was an alternate Samba to install, or a buffer patch, or even a 'goto this service, stop and restart' etc.
Trying to get help from the 'windows' community comes down to 'well your on a mac what do expect etc etc' *sigh*
any help is appreciated
Richard

Hi, just thought id update my finding regarding this, and it maybe directly affected by my only system, but in case anyone else has this issue?
I thought it may be due to the file name thats causing the lockups, but I found while trying to backup my collection of install images and updates that sure enough a simple named file 'osx10.6.3.DMG' going to the server, 850MB in it stalls and fails, now im not able to connect.
but form the PC, without changing the name or location etc, i copied the SAME from the Macs hard drive through to the windows system, all 5.7GB.
so it is something to do with my windows 7 system, but maybe more related to the size of the file then the name or non-standard characters as first thought.
as suggested by Grant above i will check on the server boards as well.
thanks

(probably quite simple?) Samba troubles

I've set up a few shared folders using samba, and I can see them both in Arch and over the network in XP. Although when I try to open any of them, in either OS, it says they aren't accessible. Here is the the log of my XP machine trying to connect:

As you can see it goes on about CUPS server. I don't have a printer installed on my Arch machine, and although i have one on my XP machine, it isn't shared. I put the 'printing = cups' line in anyway in the smb.conf but it hasn't made any difference. Here is my smb.conf file as it stands at the moment:
[global]

restrict anonymous = no

[DVDs]

If anyone could guide me in the right direction that would be great! It's been troubling me for a while now! Thanks very much,
Steve

Just like the error message says, you shouldn't put a global parameter in a service, ie. share, section. Move the entry guest account = steve into the global section and the error should disappear. You also might want to run testparm to further check your Samba config.
