Samba stopped working again after most recent security update

This is not the first time that Samba has stopped working for me after applying an update to Mac OS X.
I installed an update that 'Software Update' offered to me a day or two ago, and it has caused Samba to stop working again. I can't access the disks on my Powermac from any of my PCs (WinXP and Vista) again.
I tried turning the firewall off. I tried turning SMB file sharing off and turning it back on. I tried disabling and enabling each of the users for SMB access. Still doesn't work.
Under 'Sharing', I have 'File Sharing' enabled. Under its 'Options', I have 'Share files and folders using AFP' and 'Share files and folders using SMB' both enabled. I have my account enabled under 'Share files and folders using SMB'. I also tried disabling it and enabling it. Under Network setup, I have location 'Home' selected, because of previous problems with Samba not working if 'Automatic' was selected.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Chris Shaker

Hi, I think I need to update my profile because my computer definitely says it has 10.4.11

  • Systems preferences do not respond....after most recent Security Update...

    HELP.........systems preferences do not respond....after most recent Security Update...During the most recent Security update download, near the end of the process,clean turned all graining and seemed to freeze. I waited awhile and then turned the computer.
    ever since then I can not open up any of my systems preferences, battery level,date and time do not show up on the top of the screen as before.....
    I had since gone and successfully downloaded the most recent security update for the Apple site and after a restart still no battery level, systems preferences or date and time....
    Any suggestions at this point.

  • Eclipse IDE won't start anymore after most recent security update

    Hello everybody,
    after today's security update the Eclipse IDE won't start anymore on my system, I just receive the following error message:
    A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse.
    No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/jre/bin/
    java
    'java' in your current PATH
    Java is installed and Eclipse ran smoothly until I upgraded. Other Java programs like Visual Paradigm still work without problems.
    Does anybody have an idea what I can do about this? I have already tried repairing permissions, to no avail.
    Best regards,

    I have narrowed down the problem even more:
    Obviously system path variables are not set anymore on my system for UNIX processes that are started in background, whereas starting applications from terminal using the open command ('open Gimp.app' for instance) still works without any problems.
    Any ideas where to change this behaviour?

  • TextEdit and Stickies not working after most recent security update

    Hi,
    I recently installed security update 2007-009 (Universal) along with Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 6.
    Immediately afterwards I had real trouble with some third party apps such as Butler.app, as well as Stickies.
    The problem seemed to resolve itself, but it has come back with a vengeance tonight. Neither Stickies nor TextEdit will let me type beyond a few characters before "not responding". Butler has also not loaded.
    What is going on? And what can I do to use my most practical writing tools? This is incredibly frustrating.

  • Both iPhoto and Mac Mail not working after most recent security update

    Granted I wasn't there to see it happen but I think my mom's computer here is a bit fubar based on something having been changed on her computer prior to the last security update. My guess is that her friends who think they are 'helping' are actually causing some real problems but I'm here now so I'm just trying to fix it with what I can.
    Essentially neither her mail or iPhoto seems to be working. I've found a similar error message in other posts but what throws me for a loop is that, when I use the console log and look at the crash files for both applications, they are both telling me the exact same thing. Could they both be pulling the same file for use? I've already run the disk repair stuff, changed the permissions on the file and just about everything else I could think of - do I need to reinstall the application or perhaps the entire operating system?

  • Office 365 sync problems after most recent security update

    Since the security update, mail and calendar are not syncing with an email address at outlook.office365.com. After the update, Mail and Calendar wouldn't open with several tries. Sent reports to Apple. Finally, Mac took longest time to boot with the spinning disc. Then Mail and Calendar would open but they don't sync with my work emails. It doesn't say it didn't sync but it is clear it did not given that I can see the emails on my iPad and through webmail and on my phone. Any ideas? How can I make sure Mail and Calendar didn't get corrupted? How can I fix? How can I make them work so I can work?

    I thought that this happened to myself as well, but I just let the computer run at the gray screen, and the apple and loading indicator came up a minute later. It stayed this way for a while, then it restarted itself and all is well.

  • Delayed startup after most recent Security Update

  • Macbook not rebooting after most recent security update

    Hi
    My rather aged Macbook (1.1 I think) has not responded very well to the latest security update and is refusing to reboot, all I get is the grey screen. 
    Please help!!!

    Shut it down by holding the power button for five seconds. Then boot while holding the Command + S keys. Hold those keys until you see a black screen with text. Allow that screen to load completely then type fsck -yf and hit return. When you see "The disk has been modified" or "The disk appears to be okay" type reboot and hit return.

  • Each time my iMac reboots i am prompted to enter my FaceTime password.  This just started occurring after the most recent security update.

    Each time my iMac reboots I am prompted to enter my FaceTime password.  This just started occurring after the most recent security update.  When I put my password in the pop up just comes back, if I press cancle it goes away.  Any ideas on how to get rid of this annoying popup?

    I had the same problem. Try this. Launch FaceTime. Click the toggle to turn it off; or Command-K. Quit. Do a restart, you shouldn't get the popup. You could then turn FaceTime back on if you wish. Either way, the popup should be gone from then on.

  • Cannot use emacs after the recent security update

    After the most recent security update (Feb. 2008) for OS X 10.4.11,

    Welcome to the Forums Jack!
    First...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then Repair permissions and try a Safe Boot, hold shift at startup.
    If that doesn't work and you have enough space on the HD, then you can try an Archive and Install feature...

  • IPhoto won't open after most recent automatic update

    Hello,
    After my most recent software update, iPhoto will not open. I click on the icon on the desktop (Macbook Pro) and nothing happens. Mac OS X (10.6.8) is my operating system.
    Any help will be appreciated. I am worried I have lost all of my photos.
    Sincerely,
    Megan.

    If you control-click on your iPhoto Library and select "Show Package Contents" there should be a folder in there named "Masters" - it should have all of your his-res photos in it.
    Not certain why you're having problems just opening iPhoto - you may want to take your question to the iPhoto forum - where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.

  • Missing letters since most recent security update

    I I installed the recent Security Update last Friday. Starting today letters are missing from buttons and windows. For example, the cancel buttons have the "n" dropped out. Just like now as I'm typing this question! The letter after "m" seems to be having problems. Any ideas?

    Fixed the problem from advise from another topic. I ran repair permissions and now everything I think is back to normal. I have so few problems I always forget about "repair permissions" Thanks for the advice!

  • Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

    Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

    There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
    I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
    If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

  • StarWalk compass stopped working with their most recent update.

    My favorite application on my iPad used to be Starwalk. Ever since their most recent update on April 30, the internal compass stopped working (which is basically the backbone of the entire app). I contacted Vito technology (the developer) - it took a long time to get a response, but after several efforts they finally replied that there was a flaw in the iPad's internal Magnetometer, that it had nothing to do with their software, and there was nothing they could do about it - I should take it up with Apple. The app worked perfectly until their most recent update. I looked at their reviews/comments and numerous people were making the exact same complaint, and everyone said it stopped working as the result of the April 30 Starwalk update. I have one friend with a 3G iPad and the app still works fine for him. I have another friend with a wiFi version like me, and the app ALSO stopped working for him on April 30. So I understand not all iPads are affected.
    So am I supposed to take this up with Apple now and tell them there is a flaw in their magnetometer that caused StarWalk to break as of their last update, and see if they can fix all our devices?
    I don't believe Vito's assertion that their software is not at fault (considering so many people are complaining in their negative reviews that the last update triggered this breakage).
    I'm frustrated and wonder if anyone else is experiencing this. Starwalk used to be my favorite app, and its even more frustrating to listen to the developer tell me its a device flaw that's been there all along, when me and many other people all had simultaneous magnetometer problems develop on April 30 - the moment we installed their last update.

    Just that I have the latest from April 30 and there are no updates that are available to me. I guess you have the wifi only version as I do? I can't quite figure out why this would be affecting some people and not others. If you go to the StarWalk page on iTunes you'll see the list of people complaining about the same thing. In iTunes it also says my iPad software is up to date (I assume that means the OS/firmware).
    So do you guys think this is something I take up with StarWalk or Apple? I feel a little ripped off that Vito has sold me a $6 app (granted that is not much) that has stopped working, and they are telling me its a flaw in the device.
    I'll paste the response I received from Vito below. Bear in mind that although they say this has nothing to do with their software, all of the people who are complaining had a functioning app before April 30, and it stopped working as soon as we made that update.
    Thank you for taking time to send us your feedback, it is highly appreciated.
    In specific circumstances iPhone/iPad digital compass (magnetometer) may operate with difficulties, essentially causing errors in all applications that rely on its data.
    Unfortunately, we cannot fix this particular problem, because it is caused by the digital compass malfunction and has nothing to do with our software. However, we are happy to offer you directions which may help you avoid experiencing this inconvenience in the future.
    For better functioning of the digital compass consider doing the following:
    1) Tilt your device from landscape to portrait orientation several times. This will help the digital compass recalibrate itself and calculate current position.
    2) Make sure the compass is not obstructed by thick walls of buildings or large amounts of metal nearby. Try going outside.
    3) Consider trying again later. Sometimes it is unclear what may be influencing the magnetometer.
    If you need more information, please read the magnetometer specifications below.
    We hope that these simple instructions were of help. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
    Sincerely,
    Vito Technology Support Team
    For more information:
    Wikidia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_compass :
    "A magnetometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the strength and/or direction of the magnetic field in the vicinity of the instrument. Magnetism varies from place to place and differences in Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere) can be caused by the differing nature of rocks and the interaction between charged particles from the Sun and the magnetosphere of aplanet. Magnetometers are a frequent component instrument on spacecraft that explore planets."

  • Flash does not work correctly in full screen after most recent Firefox update

    == Issue
    ==
    Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
    == Description
    ==
    Yesterday, firefox updated itself automatically. The "what's new" screen suggested that I update Flash immediately, so I did. I had a little trouble. I eventually uninstalled Flash and re-installed with the latest version, but it is now up to date. Now flash videos will not play properly in full screen. The picture will freeze for a few seconds with the audio still playing, the screen will go blank, then the video will restart from where the audio was when the screen went blank. Sometimes Flash will crash completely and I will have to reload the page to restart the video, even not full screen. Other times I get an error message that my video driver stopped working. I have checked and my video driver is up to date.

    I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
    something like
    Installation complete, restart your browser.
    I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
    I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
    But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
    I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
    I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
    And Full Screen is fine.
    I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
    So did a System Restore once more.
    Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
    I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
    I do hope this is figured out soon.
    With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
    Good Luck to us all.
