SMB no longer working in 10.4.8???

I was happily connecting to both my daughters iMac and my husbands Windows PC using SMB.....then it stopped working?! Now obviously something must have happened to change this and I've been thinking what it could be. Well nothing had changed on either of the other 2 computers so it must be something on my mac?! The only thing I can think of is that I have recently upgraded from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 and I'm wondering if this is the reason?
However, my daughter has also upgraded her iMac to 10.4.8 and I can use SMB to connect from her mac to mine....but it won't work the other way around frustratingly! Indeed, there isn't even a "will I'll try for ya....." - when you click on the pulsating blue connect button - it doesn't do anything!! It would be better if it at least said something like it couldn't connect!!! I find this a little strange - it's as if it is just broken - you do see the connect button do an extra pulsate when you click it, but it doesn't do anything at all.
This is so frustrating as I often used to transfer files across to my husband's PC for him to work on.......
Anyone got any ideas ---- please?????
Many thanks // Chris.

Chris, how are you going about connecting to these other machines? (using the network icon?). If that is the way you were trying it you might want to do the following.
1. Get the IP address from the computer you want to connect to.
2. open finder and click (apple+k)
3. in the address bar type smb://"IP ADDRESS"
you might also want to check and make sure the other machines have file sharing turned on. Hope that helps

  • After upgrade to Yosemite SMB connection to remote server no longer works. WHY?

    HI,
    Before I upgraded to Yosemite I had mapped a connection to a directory on a remote server using SMB.  After upgrading from OS 10.9 these connections no longer work.
    Any idea why?  Nothing on either the remote network server or the SMB mapping has changed.

    There appears to be a problem with Firefox 20 with UNC paths when using roaming profiles on a server.
    This is currently investigated and tracked via this bug report.

  • SMB client URL works in 10.4.10, breaks in 10.5 -- password not accepted

    Hi,
    The SMB client URL (Finder Command-K) that was working under 10.4.10 breaks under 10.5:
    smb://DOMAIN-name;userid@Fully-qualified-DN-for-WinServer/PrivateSharename$
    The symptom is that the Mac does connect to the WinServer, as I do get the userid/password prompt, with the userid already prefilled as DOMAIN-name\userid. But when I add my Windows password and submit, I get a delay and then a message my userid or password is invalid.
    I know my userid and password are valid as they work from my PC, as well as from my Mac as far as establishing a Mac to PC screensharing session using MS Remote Desktop Connection.
    I know that it's not a network, DNS, or WINS name resolution problem as I do get as far as the initial connection to the PC -- i.e. the userid/password prompt. As well I've tried using the Windows Server's IP address directly in the URL.
    I've read the threads here and tried these variants of the URL:
    smb://DOMAIN-name;userid@IP-of-WinServer/PrivateSharename$
    smb://DOMAIN-name;userid:win-password@IP-of-WinServer/PrivateSharename$
    I've tried the Ruby script to escape any funny characters in my win-password; but there are none anyways, and the output from the Ruby script mentioned in another thread are the same as my inputted password.
    I've also gone into /etc/smb.conf and added the line suggested in another thread:
    client NTLMv2 auth = Yes
    ...and rebooted. But that line is for Windows clients trying to connect to a samba server running on the Mac. I'm doing the opposite: trying to run a Samba client connection to a PC server.
    Bottom line:
    OS X 10.4.10 : no problem connecting to Windows server
    OS X 10.5 : cannot
    suggestions welcome,
    ...b

    OK, so this SMB client URL (in the Finder, press Command-K) that was working under 10.4.10 breaks under 10.5:
    smb://domain;[email protected]/share
    so I added my domain name and WINS servers into the WINS tab of the Networking Preference Pane, and I was then able to browse our windows network in the Finder, find the above Win2003 PC server name, and connect! Yay!
    So I went back and tried variations on the SMB URL above. Until finally this variation worked:
    smb://domain;userid@server/share
    Hmm. So server.domain.company.com which does resolve to the PC server's IP, no longer works under OS X 10.5 -- even though the same SMB URL worked in OS X 10.4.
    Worse, while smb://domain;userid@server/share now works on the company LAN, smb://domain;userid@server/share fails over the company (cisco) VPN.
    I speculate it's because OS X 10.5 is using the PC servers NetBIOS name above and therefore relying on various PC WINS server ports, whose packets can flow unimpeded over my LAN. But when I'm VPN'ing, the company LAN I land on blocks these packets and ports.
    So after much tinkering, I returned to the Terminal.app and started reading the man pages about Samba, the open source Windows networking software used by OS X:
    man -k smb <-- to look up all the terminal commands for samba
    one of the entries this returned was:
    nsmb.conf(5) - configuration file for SMB requests
    Hmm, that sounds promising.
    man nsmb.conf
    returned a sample configuration file. I edited the sample file to include our windows "domain" name, and to map our "server" name to it's fully-qualified DNS name: "server.domain.company.com", and put this updated file, as per the man pages, in ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf, and volia:
    smb://domain;userid@server/share
    now works for me to connect from OS X 10.5 to the "server" over our LAN and over our VPN!
    This was a lot of work and not a general solution. OS X 10.4 was definitely better, but this is the only PC server I need to connect to, so I'm very happy that I don't have to uninstall Leopard and re-install Tiger.

  • CUPS - Store username in Device URI no longer works?

    Previously, i.e. OS 10.6.7, you could store a username in the Device URI in /etc/cups/printers.conf as shown below:
    smb://username:password@server_name/queue_name
    This was quite handy as it meant that users were not prompted to enter a username and password.
    However, in OS 10.7 (CUPS 1.5.0) this no longer works and results in:
    D [21/Oct/2011:18:44:38 +1100] [Job 23] Backend returned status 1 (failed)
    D [21/Oct/2011:18:44:38 +1100] [Job 23] Printer stopped due to backend errors; please consult the error_log file for details.
    D [21/Oct/2011:18:44:38 +1100] [Job 23] End of messages
    D [21/Oct/2011:18:44:38 +1100] [Job 23] printer-state=5(stopped)
    D [21/Oct/2011:18:44:38 +1100] [Job 23] printer-state-message="Invalid printer name"
    I'm wondering if there is some CUPS setting I need to change for this to start working again.
    Please note: Turning on the Guest Account in Windows is unacceptable as is saving a Username and Password in a Key Chain.

    It looks like you need to specify the port in the URL, even though the protocol is specified. Bit silly if you ask me.

  • PCS no longer working with contacts and 6086

    I have applied the latest release of PC Suite 6.84.10.3.
    Previously the installed level was 6.83.14.1
    The send/read/write message still doesn't work but hangs the Windows Explorer for a while (this hang didn't occur previously)
    But now, the contact facility no longer works. It is no longer possible to edit a contact, to store it locally or to send it to the phone even a message says everything is OK
    (translate it from french: The contact has been well recorded into the phone)
    Folder browsing still works correctly, either the phone folder or the memory card folder
    Need a fix or a way to install the previous version, at least for the contacts...
    This is a really negative feedback!
    Phil

    I guess what I learned is that sometimes the best solution is to do nothing and wait for the problem to solve itself! Funny, this has never worked for me before.
    WOT is now working for me but often for only the first few rows of images. That's cool that it is also working with bing images.
    Boudica, thanks for understanding. I am new contributor/ question-asker here on mozilla and may not understand how things are done. I was just frustrated, getting an email saying that my question was answered, logging in to find that it wasn't.
    Now we have the functionality that we wanted, right?

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
    Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

    Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
    Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
    This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
    Steps:
    1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
    2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
    3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
    4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
    5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
    6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
    Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
    thanks!

    There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

  • IPod Apps no longer work, Music disappears, Fix?

    QUESTION : How to fix permanently the “iPod Touch Breakdown“?
    (seems identical to the iPhone “Breakdown“)
    Since I upgraded to 2.0.2, running iTunes 7.7.1 (11) on a MacBook Pro G4, I keep having big trouble with Apps, Music and Films.
    Here is what I call the “iPod Touch Breakdown“:
    - Apps won’t start : the iPod would go back to the home screen after a few seconds.
    - Music and Films disappear (My music consists essentially of personnal CDs).
    - (for me Photos are still there)
    - all original Apple Apps work OK
    This is a known problem, also occuring on the iPhone with many posts on the iPhone discussions forum (see “iPhone“/“Installing and Using iPhone Applications“/“iPhone Applications no longer work“. At the time I write this messge, this question has been viewed 16,080 times ( ) (*) and there have been 319 replies: probably a sad record for a single question, which means that THERE REALLY IS A BASIC PROBLEM.
    My iPod is a 8Gb purchased while staying in Pasadena, almost a year ago. I was extremely happy to use it more and more like a PDA (updates 2.0.1 and 2.0.2).
    There have been some fixes proposed on the discussions forum (iPhone) that I tried and I have tried myself a couple more. NONE of them could fix the problem permanently: all fixes have been working for a day or two, no more. Untill you download an App (even an update) and you get the “Breakdown“ again.
    As other users, I have noted a slowdown in anything I am doing (e.g. typing text) just before the Apps stop working and the music disappears. (see for instance Truth42 on iPhone Forum (Applications no longer work), Posted: Aug 25, 2008 10:57 AM)
    Fixes: typically you get to disinstall and then reinstall all your Apps. Each time, you lose all your Apps parameters (bad for data bases and notes).
    Two ways:
    see iPhone forum: Aveonz Posted: Aug 24, 2008 3:16 AM :
    1- sync using iTunes
    2- in iTunes/Store: deauthorize your account
    3- sync
    4- authorize
    5- sync (will re-load your Apps)
    6- sync (to backup you new configuation)
    (the whole process may take several hours; I have also done a reboot between 3 and 4)
    (ii) proposed by various people :
    1- deselect all applications
    2- sync
    3- disconnect your iPod and reboot it (pressing both buttons simultaneously for several seconds – see Apple site) (you keep you parameters, WiFi, etc)
    4- select the Apps you want back
    5- sync (will re-load your Apps)
    6- sync (to backup you new configuation)
    In the end you can use the Apps you have reloaded, but just for a few days (or hours)… until you cannot resist downloading a new App, or simply just download an App update. It won’t breakdown instantly after you do that, but it will very soon.
    I certainly would take any procedure to fix this definitely. However, the best choice is probably to use as few third party Apps as possible (none is better) and wait for 2.1. Hopefully Apple is working on this, and we’ll get a definite fix very soon. This actually makes a very bad press for the iPod Touch and iPhone.
    Sadly,
    because I think iPod Touch and iPhone are beautiful machines –but for how long? Competition is tough…
    Cheers
    (*) about this number 16,080, obviously not all of the viewers experienced the “Breakdown“, but most were just curious to know. Still, the good question is to know how many of us, using the iPhone and iPod Touch experience this bug (virus?) and why some have it and not others (and in which proportion?).

    Same issue here since updating to 2.0.2; Is there a way to back I wonder?
    So I plugged back in my iPod touch and,...
    0. make a note of all your music, movies, photos, apps selections to restore
    1. cancel connect attempt to iTunes store (little 'x' in iTunes toolbar)
    2. cancel attempts to sync or backup (little 'x' in iTunes toolbar)
    3. clicked <OPTION>[Restore] once selecting my iPod touch device
    4. navigate to <home>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Udpates/
    5. pick the prior update: iPod1,12.0.1_5B108Restore
    6. then waited through iPod window status displays
    'Preparing iPod software for restore...'
    'Restoring iPod software...'
    'Verifying iPod Software...'
    7. OK the 'Your iPod has been restored to factory settings,...'
    8. Ssync process did NOT automatically being so I unplugged & plugged it
    (I did verify that 2.0.1 was loaded seeing the App Store)
    9. Pick 'Set up as a new iPod'; don't pick an earlier backup point
    (mostly 'cause I couldn't be sure which was a good failsafe).
    10. iTunes then begin setup of my [ahem] new iPod.
    STOP IT; it'll try and do restore everything. Then navigate the tabs for
    your iPod and re-select those things you want (music,photos,movies,apps,etc)
    So like any computer you need to keep proper backups.
    The apple s/w system updater appears to do just that automatically, thanks! Of course it would've been nice to have had the 2.0.2 version tested a bit more before its release.
    IMHO the host (mac) should have kept my prefs for the iPod rather than my resorting to handwritten notes but at least I'm back to normal. Consider when replacing an iPod how you'd want the replacement to be a mirror of its predecessor.
    Oh, skip future requests to update to 2.0.2 until Apple can get his sorted out.

  • TS3771 My iTunes U no longer works since the update, an error message pops up saying that "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed the tutorial that suggests to change to from 64 to 32 bit and it didn't

    iTunes U video files no longer work on my computer since i update to Mavericks. The following message appears on the screen "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed a tutorial that suggested to go to Applications/iTunes/Get Info and change to 32 bit. Now my iTunes does not open at all, it says it requires 64 bit. I am a bit confused and disappointed. What should I do to get it fixed? Buy a new MacBook?

    Marcello, I am having the same problem.  When following the advice of many in the community to start iTunes in 32-bit mode, I get the following error after I have done so:
    I am running 10.9.2 on a mac mini. 
    I am hoping this will be fixed or at least a solid answer could be given that iTunes will no longer support certain types of media going foward.

  • Itunes no longer works on ipad on version 6 software

    My I tunes 10.6.1 no longer works with my upgraded software ipad 2 on version 6 stating my mac needs a higher operating system (currently on 10.5.8) to then upgrade I tunes 10.7. I can no longer use my ipad with itunes simply because I have an older mac operating system. An upgrade on the mac operating system is a lot of money . There is no roll back of ipad software from 6 to the original to cure this

    The upgrade to the Mac is around $30.00 if it is still available. You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I think that's the latest SL version.
    I copied this from another discussion.
    Apple said that customers can still purchase a copy of Snow Leopard or Lion from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).
    Here is the discussion.

  • ITunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system.  Get error msg saying C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114..

    iTunes no longer works on my Windows VISTA system.  Get error msg saying an application is attempting to access C runtime library incorrectly... Error 7, Windows error 1114.  Same msg, or one that says unable to install, when trying to update or reinstall iTunes.  iTunes worked well up until about a month ago when this error msg starting appearing.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • The computer my iTunes account was locked to no longer works

    As the title says my computer that has all my tv shows and that on no longer works.
    I was reading when I bought the tv series and that, that its locked to one computer only. So what happens now that its broken?
    Do I have to rebuy everything when I get a new computer or am I able to re download once I get a new computer?
    Is there anything I can do?
    thanks
    penguincat

    Content is not locked to a single computer. You do, however, get only one download per purchase for any content other than apps and iBooks. So unless you have a backup, as iTunes itself advises you to make, or have those shows on an iOS device, you may indeed have to repurchase them.
    If you lack a backup and an iOS device with those shows, your best hope is that the hard drive in your old computer still works. If it does, you can mount it to your new computer, either internally if there's room for another drive or in an external case. You should then be able to drag the TV shows and any other content from the old hard drive into the iTunes window in your new computer. Once there, all you should have to do is authorize the computer to your iTunes Store account (Store menu in iTunes -> Authorize This Computer).

  • ITunes 12 - "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" feature no longer works

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I've been having.
    Since updating to iTunes 12, the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' feature no longer works. When I add media to the library, iTunes doesn't copy it to a destination within my media library. It only works if I turn the feature off, and then back on again.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't use the feature myself, but it works properly in a test library for me.
    It could possibly be a permissions issue. Different processes in iTunes seem to make use of either the system or the user account for file actions and it is just possible that which has been used in that case has changed. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for details.
