STILL can't disable SMB file sharing because of incorrect password error

Hi Everybody,
A few weeks ago, there was a thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3211072
I'm having the same issue, and it's a real security problem, since I have no way of turning off file sharing for a user account.
The thread discussed the inability to disable SMB file sharing because Lion returned an incorrect password error message for the shared account -- even when the user typed in the correct password. A user named SanderFromH offered a fix at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16773220#16773220
It involves locating and copying the file at /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/<user>.plist
Is this the only way people know to fix this issue, or has anyone found an easier way? If no, can someone please tell me how to locate this file. When I search spotlight for a directory called dslocal, I find nothing. Can someone please provide step by step instructions for fixing this issue?
Thanks so much.

Hi, and welcome to the community!
So was this Spotify account originally created with facebook and not created with Spotify then linked to facebook? It sounds like it if you login with an email.
Can you log in on the Spotify web player?

Why the mac claim that the user password that i enter in the smb file sharing settings is incorrect although it is correct?

Maybe the Caps Lock key is lighted?
Is your Apple ID password the same as your user password?

Smb file sharing ownership and creation mask

I'm using smb for file sharing with lion. I've created a file sharing only username and password.
The file sharing works as I'd expect with one caviat, the files created are read/write permission of
the file sharing only account. In unix terms the file permissions are set to 600 not 666 or 644.
I'd like to change the file creation mask to 666 (user r/w, group r/w & world r/w) or even 644.
my /private/var/db/samba/smb.shares file
contains these 2 lines for the [Myuser Public Folder] section:
create mask = 644
directory mask = 755
However it doesnt appear as if its honoring these settings.
Alternately if this cant easily be fixed, how can I get a file sharing user
account to write files to my public folder as a different system user?

I have seen many topics created on these discussions with regards to the SMB functionality failing on Time Capsules after 10 mins of operation. Restarting the Time Capsule seems to bring back the SMB functionality but again it stops after 10 mins.
I am not sure if I have a Time Capsule dual band "I" or "II", but I have the firmware 7.4.2 installed on it.
I also read elsewhere that downgrading the firmware to 7.3.2 makes the SMB sharing work again. However, on my model this is not possible since I am using the dual-band model which never had a 7.3.2 firmware version.
So anyone out there have some new tips on this?
I find it crazy that others have called Apple about this problem but Apple support did not verify it and fix it. Really? I am tempted to call myself and try it out because it clearly is problem with every single Time Capsule model!

Why can't I do file sharing between Macintoshes ?

Why can't I do file sharing between two Macintoshes ?
I have 2 Macs in the same room. Both are connected to the same router (wired, not wifi), I have verified their connection by going to the Internet successfully on both machines.
I have disabled all security functions I am aware of. I turned off firewall, turned on file sharing, allowed all users for file sharing.
Yet, when I tried to connect to the other Mac permission is denied. I'm told to contact the network administrator, (that's me). Both machines are running OS 10.9.5.
Strangely, I was able to do “screen sharing” which doesn't solve my problem.
I just want to move files from one Mac to the other.
Is there something I'm missing here?

(Yosemite falsely identifies iMovie HD 06 as not compatible.)
Actually, it is by design; according to their Engineers, they have coded iMovie HD 06 not to launch - that is what I was told after submitting my bug report. So, it still works in Mavericks, but that is as far as it'll go.

Can not activate Personal File Sharing

I can't seem to get Personal File Share to be active on one of the computers on the network at home. It is my wife computer, G5 running 10.4.8. we just updated to the version and now the file sharing is grayed out. I am running a G4 with 10.4.8 and we are both on an ethernet network. We both have different IP numbers and I can mount my computer on her computer (I have no problem turning on File Sharing) but I can't get her file sharing on. Any suggestions

I have "Show Hidden Files' enabled on all my machines, so not certain it will be the same on yours, but...
Bring up the Root level of the Boot HD in Finder, locate "automount" folder and open it.
Start the Terminal window, type...
cd and a space, drag the "automount' folder to the Terminal window, press Enter, this should change it to look something like...
bd8:/Volumes/Machintosh HD/automount bd8$
then you can type in rm space and drag the 2 files one at a time, (Servers & Static), over to terminal. Hitting enter will trash whatever is after the rm, so be careful.
(I'm using the Finder to drag because it reduces typing errors, but you could type it all in).
cd back to root and rm the Network at root level.
Reboot.

Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4. I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files.

Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4. I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11. PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files. What do I need to do?

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

Smb file sharing

We have in our company data center two Macs, a Power PC 8GB ram with Leopard 10.5.8 and a Mac Pro Quad Core Nehalem 32GB with Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and OSX Server 2.2.1.
The Power Pc SMB File Sharing, with the limit of 10 concurrent users, it works perfectly.
Instead, the Mac Pro SMB File Sharing drops randomly SMB sharing with the consequent loss of the changes made by Client to opened files.
Is there anyone else with the same problem?
Is there any solution, in addition to turn off the Mac Pro and switch to a Windows server?

Same problem here with Mountain Lion. Really anxious for a fix!

Mountain Lion Server and SMB file sharing

Yes. It works good however a few tweeks necessary. In parallels configuration I had to change the 1 CPU setting to 2 and allowed a bit more memory. Before that things where a little slow in the virtual macine. Hopefully you are operating with a quad core.

Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

As you probably know the Canon plug-in enables Log & Transfer in FCP7. I'm not sure whether it works with Final Cut Express or not.
Look in Applications>Canon Utilities. I'm running 10.6 as well and that is where it's located on my machine.
Good luck.

How can I disable the memory sharing with the video?

how can I disable the memory sharing with the graphic card? it makes me impossible to run a software, grandMA2, on windows 7 installed and run via bootcamp. where should I look for changing the preferences of memory and video, on lion or on windows7? thank you

so what do you think. I run a software on windows 7 running via bootcamp on my mbp, but I can't open it. the software is compatible with windows 7 on mac. I tried opening it as administrator or changing the compatibility options, like running it as windows xp, and changing the resolution of the video. it can't build the window and then it crashes. on internet I found a compatibility list of the software where it says please do not use any shared memory for the graphic card. what does it mean? I have just to remove the check in automatic graphics switching? what should I try to do? thank you.
