Snow Leopard 10.6.1 issues

Running into a lot of these, some of which I've figured out. But I hardly have time to try to figure out all of them, so I'm inclined to ask frequent questions instead.
One thing I'm having issues with right now is "windows of application . . ." -- which doesn't yield anything except the windows of the script editor i'm using.
A way of doing 'windows of application "TextEdit",' for example??

Wow, Apple's obviously been busy ironing out some AppleScript bugs over the last couple updates as well as all the other bugs throughout the system that were overlooked before the release of 10.6. I know of at least one other AppleScript bug that hasn't been dealt with as of 10.6.2, so here's hoping for continued bug squashing on Apple's part!
Glad to hear you got your problem figured out!! Don't worry, I won't call in the troops to roll any heads... THIS time ...LOL!!

Snow Leopard Server - SSL Certificate Issue

Hi. I am hoping someone can shine some light into an issue I am currently experiencing with SSL Certificates on the Snow Leopard Server which hosts out websites. This past weekend an SSL certificate pertaining to our primary domain expired which caused users to receive error messages prior to accessing the website ... the error message stated "the site's security certificate has expired!"
I have since renewed the certificate via networksolutions.com and applied it on the Mac server. The certificate was applied successfully and i have added the certificate the sites along with restarting the apache to take in the settings. However, the certificate is not propagating out at all. I have also restarted the mac server as well in case there was something in the cache causing issues but unfortunately, the issue still exists.
I have also removed the certificate entirely and reapplied it from scartch to make sure the original certificate wasn't causing any issues.
Has anyone else incurred a similar issue or would anyone have any insight on how to possibly resolve the issue?
Thank you!

Just a quick update. the DNS seems fine but I am getting errors in the logs as follows.

Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, SMB issues - incorrect password

This is a very frustrating issue, and its affecting my work now.
Basically I used to use the SMB sharing quite a lot in work, it was an ideal way for our clients to get to data off my MBP and worked like a dream in OSX 10.6
I was an early adopter, and upgraded to Lion on release date. Problem is now, I have SMB sharing switched on, but no user accounts enabled. When I tick to enable one I get "Incorrect password" (see picture)
I tried disabling SMB and it again prompted me for my password, and to no avail, I got "incorrect password" again.
I updated to 10.7.1, and STILL unresolved. I am very disappointed that this, as well as the Guest account being disabled if you have FileVault enabled (which is a requirement of my employer due to the sensitive nature of the data we handle). I experience persistent Kernel panics triggered by my MBP switching from the Intel HD graphics to the Nvidia chipset, I am extremely frustrated and disappointed overall.

I mistakedly posted this to another topic. It's something that worked for me, I hope it to be of help to others as well.
Try the following:
1. Create a Sharing Only account through "Users & Groups" preference pane, assign a password to the account. Suppose we you create an account named "mike".
2. In Network select your interface, go to Advanced and then WINS. Under Workgroup set the default WORKGROUP and under NetBIOS Name set whatever suits you (let's assume you put "imac").
3. Now go to Sharing select a folder to share and add the "mike" user account you just created for sharing-only purpose, go to Options tick the checkbox for SMB and then for the "mike" account and enter its password when asked for it.
4. When accessing the shares from Windows box enter username in format "imac\mike" and the password for the account.
This should set you up for accessing your Mac shares from your Windows machine.
There still is a problem with adding ad hoc sharing account from the Sharing preference pane, a bug hopefullly resolved in some of the upcoming updates.

Snow leopard and cd-r issues

I have been trying to burn some songs from iTunes to a CD-R. I have a large pkg of these that I had no issue with before but neither my iMac or my MBP are accepting these now. I know the drive is fine and the info is not corrupted as I burned the info to a DVD+R fine. According to Apple's documentation it will read/write to + and - R cd's and dvds. The iMac wants to freeze up and the MPB spits it out like it tastes bad.

I've had these cd's for awhile and there was never an issue before. Now in the middle of the package - they are all bad?
That's certainly possible.
As a brody says, if you're experiencing problems on two different machines, the media is a likely cause. The CD-Rs which were working before may have come from a different batch, even from a different manufacturer. It all depends on how the package was put together. (And keep in mind that counterfeits are not exactly unknown.)
You have to understand that there are a (relatively) small number of manufacturers who produce optical discs for the many brands displayed on the label. So "TDK" on the label doesn't really tell you all that much. If it works how you described -- basically, first half of the spindle all good, second half all bad -- you need to, (a) check the ATIP codes, and, (b) compare very closely the good and the bad CD-Rs for consistent differences, eg, the style and values of the batch numbers (if any) printed on the hub or inner ring.

WebDAV 7.5 and Snow Leopard 10.6 write issues

We have WebDAV 7.5 running on an SBS2008 box with IIS 7.0. Windows clients can connect, read and write fine. Mac 10.6 clients that use the built in WebDAV clients can connect and read but not write any files. If a Mac client uses an application like Cyberduck to connect to the WebDAV server then it has read and write access.
I read up on the fact that WebDAV 7 had some issues regarding file locking but that was apparently fixed in WebDAV 7.5. Does anyone have any ideas or pointers as to why this is occurring? It is very frustrating.

No one has any ideas? It's pretty frustrating that a modern can't pull this off easily.

Lion vs snow leopard "pinch and zoom" issues?

Since changing to Lion from snow leapord, I can no longer "pinch and zoom" ? the only time it seem to work is with a safari page? The desktop wont zoom any more ?

You never could zoom the desktop in SL with finger gestures alone. You could zoom it by holding down the control key and using a two-finger upward swipe. Is that what you mean?
If so, you can still do this in Lion. You need to go to
 > System Preferences... > Accessibility
click 'Zoom' in the sidebar list, and check 'Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom'

Mac OS v10.6.1 Snow Leopard Mail SMTP Send issue

Hi.. did the upgrade on SL to 10.6.1 mail still cannot send.
My hosting server requires authentication prior to sending therefore I have made sure that the username and password are correct by accessing it via http.
On some of my mailboxes they are greyed out and some are not an some have ! marks after them, used to work fine prior to the SL.
Running on Peer1 network anyone else having similar issues.
Mail on my server is not running SSL so that is not enabled in my mail client.

Some have attributed their new success directly to the update. Many have simply found where some change in settings was needed to restore functionality. A few users of Comcast and Cox have some random issues that are not fully explained. I think most of those using Frontier actually got theirs working from something that Frontier did, and not Apple.
The only thing I know was changed was a restoration of the ability to take a more manual approach to setting up accounts such as Gmail, allowing the user to choose to use POP rather than IMAP because of being able to hold down the Option key after nearly finishing the first screen of the setup assistant, and having the Create button change to Continue and not leap to the finish.
Up until today I had 14 accounts and 5 SMTPs all working. I added to new Hotmail account, and allowed Mail to set it up automatically, and it was installed perfectly, and worked immediately to send and receive.

Snow Leopard Email Issues -totally lost, need help

I am a fairly new iMac user so please answer with a "dummies" version.
OK, I installed Snow Leopard and have had issues sending email. I have Verizon DSL - who in their ultimate wisdom just made some changes on Sept. 1 and are now blocking port 25. I have a .mac email account that seems to be working ok, but the smtp settings are for .me and I can't change anything because it's all greyed out. I also have several AOL accounts that used to arrive on my mac with no issues, and I could send email from them as well. I now have difficulty sending email and must enter a password every time (annoying to say the least). At first, I thought I had a Verizon problem, so I followed Verizon's instructions and changed the port setting to 527 (or close to it, I don't exactly remember but it was the correct setting specified by Verizon) but after that I couldn't even get my email so I changed it back to port 993. I guess my biggest problem is trying to figure out who screwed up the email - is it Snow Leopard, Is it Verizon, is it AOL???? All I know is I'm at my wits end of what to do and how to do it. I thought about deleting all the accounts and starting over but I don't want to lose all my past messages. If anyone has any suggestions I'll be happy to try something different... please remember baby steps needed here. Thanks ever so much!

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
First of all, any place you are observing to see Port 993 is probably the location of the port for the Incoming Server -- 993 would never work for the Outgoing. Are you seeing that at Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced?
To adjust the port setting for Outgoing Servers, then in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP and choose Edit Server List. Once in that window, and if the name of the server is correctly entered, click on the Advanced Tab. Once under that tab, then for the MobileMe account (.mac/.me) choose Use Custom Port, enter 587, and furthermore enter the Username and Password. Do similarly for the Verizon account -- check or not check to use SSL per Verizon's advice. The AOL account will probably work with Use Default Port, and not SSL.
Keep us posted.

DNS Issues - MacbookAir running Snow Leopard

It seems like it has been since the update to snow leopard when my dns issues started, but I'm not quite sure that is the problem.
I have a MBA, so all of my networking is done over my Wireless(AirPort)
I can connect to ANY Wireless Networks fine, grab a DHCP address just fine, and also grab 2/3 DNS servers from the DHCP server just fine.
My issue is that at random intervals my MBA will stop resolving addresses. It can continue to ping out to a DNS server via it's IP address, but will have a connection timeout on resolving the address for roughly 45 seconds. When the 45 seconds is up, it will begin to resolve addresses again. I have poked around google and found that it could be due to DNS sever priorities in Snow Leopard using the bottom DNS first instead of the top. I ruled out that issue by adding on one static DNS server (4.2.2.1)in my network configurations manually.
This happens on every network I am connected to that has a gateway to the internet. I have not tried to resolve local names on a local network, but I have tried resolving 'normal' addresses.
For now, I'm writing this post via remote desktop (windows machine) from my MBA with a static IP inserted as the address because if I stick a address that needs resolved first, every 3-10 minutes it will freeze and won't resolve the name, lose the connection until it can resolve the names again.
I have posted what I thought might help someone else diagnose the issue, because I am stump. Please take a look at my testing outputs here:
http://www.oregonstate.edu/~hillchri/dns
Check out the nettestout.txt is where I did the following bash script:
#!/bin/bash
for i in {1..5000}
do
echo $(date)
ping -c 1 4.2.2.1 | grep ms
echo "nslookup www.google.com"
nslookup www.google.com
echo "nslookup www.yahoo.com"
nslookup www.yahoo.com
echo "dig @4.2.2.1 google.com"
dig @4.2.2.1 google.com
echo "------------------------------------------------"
done

Did you read the note at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4030 ?
As of Snow Leopard, Apple does not directly use BIND but the utilities linked with BIND (such as dig and nslookup) still do:
Mac OS X NOTICE
The nslookup command does not use the host name and address resolution or the DNS query routing
mechanisms used by other processes running on Mac OS X. The results of name or address queries
printed by nslookup may differ from those found by other processes that use the Mac OS X native name
and address resolution mechanisms. The results of DNS queries may also differ from queries that use
the Mac OS X DNS routing library.
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/DOCUMENTATION/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/m an1/nslookup.1.html
Instead, DNS lookup in commands such as ping and for applications such as Safari is handled by mDNSResponder, and the Apple Tech Note listed above describes how it works:
In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the search order of DNS servers specificed in Network preferences is dynamic, so that servers that don't respond are moved to the end of the search order.
and:
In Mac OS X v10.6, the default DNS server searching behavior is that when a server does not return a result or when it returns SERV_FAIL for a query, and other servers are available to query, the server is temporarily disabled in the search order.

Mobile account users can not log on to the snow leopard server machine?

Hi all,
I've setup a network user and designated it as a mobile account. ** OS X 10.6.2 **
When the user logs out of the snow leopard server machine, home sync tries to sync the local and network home directories. It is never able to connect. The network home directory is automounted and is not the default path /Users. I can see the two home directories on disk.
Anyone else able to have their mobile users log in to the snow leopard server machine without issues?
OS X 10.6.2 **

It was the Sync server was down and did not know it

What format do I use for mailboxes for saving prior to reverting back from Mavericks to Snow Leopard?

After three weeks and spending hundreds of dollars on Apple-certified techs, I have to revert from Mavericks back to Snow Leopard due to unbearable issues. I've got the instructions on the process, but don't know exactly what format to use to export mailboxes and contacts for Snow Leopard to be able to recognize them. Can I use Mavericks export OR do I need to use a dmlx to mbox converter program?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
LeslieT

When you have added all the list or numbered items you want, then press return to get an empty list item, and then return again to exit list format to regular paragraph style.
