SMB Guest Access allowed but greyed out so cant turn it off

Hi guys
I have recently installed 10.6 snow leopard server to setup as a file server. It will be host to a mix of mac and windows clients.
I have installed and setup SMB service:
Role: Primary Domain Controller
By default, Allow Guest Access is ticked and greyed out. I want to disable it but I can click the box??
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Rik.

I was in the same boat. Found the answer in Terminal (I'm assuming you know what you're doing there):
You can verify the settings by typing (NOTE: the serveradmin command must be run as root):
          serveradmin settings smb
Look for a line reading:
        smb:map to guest = "Bad User"
This indicates Guest Access is ON.
To disable guest access in SMB:
         serveradmin settings smb:map to guest = "Never"
I had to quit and reopen the Server Admin app before the change showed in the GUI.

I have a itunes 11, iMac, iPad sync issue... all new kit, the itunes library and photos are on a networrk drive but syncing is useless, no music, no photos, no video, sometimes music and videos may be visible but greyed out on the ipad....

This is my first posting so sorry for the messy title... I didn't realise how it all worked here.
I have a shiny new imac, shiny new ipad and have all my media on a network hard drive - itunes works fine on the mac - no problems - photos visible in finder and photoshop - no problems, but when I come to sync the new ipad - several things may happen (I have tried many times now)
1) a long wait - whirly gig round spinner thing - then music visible on the ipad but greyed out and useless
2) no photos at all synced
3) no videos synced
4) info syncs ok
5) apps seem to have synced OK
It is not a data size issue as the same amount of data synced before the new kit from my old windows pc on to an iPod - I daren't try syncing the ipod as I need it for my next business trip.
I tried removing the ipod cache files for the photos - no difference - I tried restoring the ipad - no difference
Have I completely wasted a large amount of money?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

How do i change the quality settings of my printer? the options are there but greyed out!

how do i change the quality settings of my printer? the options are there but greyed out! ie on my old HP I could print in draft if i wanted to print a doc to read and then bin...the option/box is there but greyed out so I can't select. HELP!!!

You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.

My volume is greyed out when I turn on the Mac, but for some reason it works again when I turn on bluetooth. Nothing in system prefs changes this???

My volume is greyed out when I turn on the Mac, but for some reason it works again when I turn on bluetooth. Nothing in system prefs changes this??? Its all very random and sometimes I do not have this problem at all or it is fixed again when I restart the Mac.

please let me know if you figure out how to do correct it because mine has exacly the same problem.

I have been using Photoshop Elements 11 photo merge function. However, the Photomerge panorama function is no longer accessible - it is visible but greyed out on the "enhance" menu. I have tried to reinstall software, but no change.

The only way out of Recovery mode is to connect to iTunes and restore. If you cannot access the computer you normally sync with, you will lose all of your content, unless you sync to iCloud. With no backup present, your content will be lost.

Wifi greyed out and wont turn on

just did the latest upgrade in software and now my wifi has been greyed out and wont turn on.
contacted apple and they let me know that it is my problem and will have to buy a new phone. anyone find a way to make the wifi work if the upgrade has a glitch in it?

I had this same problem - if your phone is still under warrantly then apple will replace it for you for free.
Otherwise you will need to pay for a replacement.
They will tell you to reset and restore etc but replacement was the only option for me.

How do I allow Skype to get past network?

You make no mention of which OS you are using. The following are Yosemite instructions:
System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall>Unlock the padlock.
Click on the Firewall Options button.
Click the + (plus) button & do the necessary to add Skyp & to allow incoming connections. When done, click the OK button & lock the padlock.
Restart your computer. Report back the results.

Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem. I just updated to 8.1.3 - I thought the update might fix it.

My mini i pad has frozen. I cant turn it off and the screen doesnt function. It has frozen with a message on the screen saying ive run out of storage in i cloud and has two boxes for either close or settings But i cant get out of this screen Any ideas?

Hi
My mini i pad has frozen. I cant turn it off or opporate the screen. I have a nessage on screan telling me my storage is full in i cloud but I cant navigate to settings or close

Try this to get rid of the message.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Since updating my iPad 2 to IOS6 and activating my icloud for backup, my iPad has permanently locked. Message on screen is "iPad Not Backed Up". I click ok but no response. Cannot turn power off and cannot restore via my pc itunes. What are my options?

Thanks to everyone who responded and related subject helped. Holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds does unlock the screen. I can now use my ipad again. However, a futher problem has arisen since updating to IOS6 and activating icloud at same time, Although not sure if its related. The problem is that when connected to my PC the itunes message appears 'Cannot read ipad'. It instructs you to restore but keeps timing out after about 1 hour. This maybe internet issue but can't understand why itunes cannot read my ipad. May need to completely erase all content & reset. Or any other suggestions why this has happened?

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

I have an iPhone 5 unlocked. I have been using it for few weeks but 4 days ago I turned it off and in the morning it had NoService. Called tmobile and apple costumer services no one helped. Did any one had this issue and solved it?

If you got the Unlocked message it means it was successfully unlocked by AT&T. Apple will not relock or block it. They have no objections to it being used on T-Mobile. It is still under warrantee. Take to an Apple store. They can test it with a SIM from AT&T. If that doesn't work have them replace the phone. Have them verify that the new phone is unlocked. If it does work with the AT&T card then it is a T_Mobile problem.
