Error -36 alert displays when connecting to a Windows server

Hi All
I am getting error -36 when I tried to copy any file or folder from windows server
"Error -36 alert displays when connecting to a Windows server"
Even the file info is zero KB, while from other MAC machine it is right size.

You shouldn't get the same error when you are doing it from Terminal. The error should be a little different. I just did a test. Is this a Microsoft 2003 server, 2000 or NT4 you are connecting to? Your post isn't specific. Make sure the System Preferences:Network:Advanced:WINS tab is filled in with the domain you are connecting to next to the "Workgroup" name. The WINS server should already be filled in. Open the connect window with command K. Type domainname\username for the login and then the password. If you don't want to enter the domain each time you will need to add the domain in the Applications:Utilities:Directory Uitility application.
If you are trying to connect to a Windows XP client box, the machine will automatically try to authenticate with the guest account not the username and password you are using even when "registered user" is ticked. You have to edit the registry to change this default. If the username from the Windows PC is the same as the user logon then this is why the PC is able to connect and the mac is not.

A user meet the above problem connecting to Windows 2003 server but have no this error if connected to Windows 2000 Server.
According to the above solution, will you configure Windows 2003 server or just configure user's Macintosh platform?

Actually, win2003 server's default security options are shown as follows.
1. MS network client: Digitally sign communications (always) - Disabled
2. MS network client: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees) - Enabled
3. MS network server: Digitally sign communications (always) - Disabled
4. MS network server: Digitally sign communications (if client agrees) - Disabled
We could both be right on this one; it depends on your setup. By default, if you're running a domain then the Domain Controller is:
*Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) Policy Setting: not defined*
That defaults to the Group Policy setting, which is enabled.
The local computer group policy for Windows Server 2003 is:
*Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) Security Setting: disabled*
I'm referencing this KB article on Microsoft's website: <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887429>.
This does not take into consideration that you may have upgraded from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003.
Regardless, you seem to have already eliminated this as a possibility as you mention below.
In my case, user can connect to win2003 server without problem in the same LAN 192.168.8.x. If connect it from remote lan 192.168.10.x (e.g. smb://192.168.8.250/artwork) error -36 will appear. Since remote lan is connected to local lan by secured VPN, all traffic or any ports are allowed to passe through VPN.
Rather than a server or client problem I would speculate your VPN connection is the problem. Do you have port TCP 445 open or blocked at your VPN concentrator? I believe this needs to be open.
Hope this helps!

MBP Retina OS X Yosemite has distorted display when connected to Epson projector. How do I fix this?

MBP Retina OS X Yosemite has distorted display when connected to Epson projector. How do I fix this?

Hello ATLawson,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the display, after connecting to a projector, does not have the image quality you would expect. There may be a few different troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over and working through the information in the attached article.

Speckles on external Samsung Display when connected to my Macbook Pro

When I connect my MacBook Pro to my Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM monitor via a mini display port DVI adapter, I get loads of speckles on the display. They vary in colour depending on the display colour and are driving me mad!
Webcam video of this effect here http://gallery.me.com/wildj/100399
Doesn't do it when connected via the VGA adapter.
Anyone else had any problems like this?
Jim

I have exactly the same issue - just got my brand new apple adapter, and to my great disappointment the monitor just blinks. It is the same monitor - Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM. The cables seem to be right - single link DVI-D cables, I tried three of them, one of them actually produced what could be considered a picture - but it is not usable - blinking and shaking. VGA adaptor works fine. I was hoping to get better quality with DVI, but it seems to be not possible in my setup. To add to it, I have another two Samsung monitors - 2232GW, and 245T - the same issue. Could the adaptor be faulty? Though it doesn't seem to be the case, as there are a lot of posts about this problem.

Why does my preferred desktop display immediately switch to another display when I open an icon on the current desktop?

That's not a shortcut you are creating with "save as", you are saving a copy of the webpage to your desktop - hence the folder with files for that webpage.

Sharepoints not displayed when connecting via FTP

Hi All,
Leopard Server 10.5.8 xserve 2 G5
I have an issue with the built in FTP server.
All my share point are set to be shared via FTP, yet they are not displayed when users log in and access the server via FTP.
In Server Admin, Authenticated users see: FTP Root and Share Points.
All relevant users have access to the FTP service, in the server settings.
ACL permissions have been set correctly for those users.
This is *sudo sharing -l* tells me, for all share points.
name: Archive
path: /Volumes/External RAID/Archive
afp: {
ftp: {
name: Archive
shared: 1
guest access: 0
smb: {
Is there anything that I missed?
Thanks for you help,

Hi,
Sorry for the late respons.
My config:
1 mac mini with OSX Server leopard
1 airport extreem
1 external HDD LaCie
An airport Extreme has the posibility to share a network drive. So I plugged in my HDD into the airport extreme and configured the thing.
Than I turned to the mac mini. And started configuring my sharepoints.
So one of my sharepoints is the external HDD.
There are several directories on there that I want to make available thru the legacy protocol FTP.
So by just making these sharepoints available thru FTP i expected for these sharepoint to show up in mij directories if I connect to my external IP with a FTP client like CyberDuck.
(portforwarding and everything is not the problem, because I can make a connections and all directories show up as browseable.
But the sharepoint I made on the network drive just show up as an bin or another kind off file I can't open.
Everything else is browsable..
They show up by the way in the root dir of the FTP Server as regular symbolic links.
Thru Finder I can browse them and do everything. But as soon as i connect over the internet, lan or whatever, these symbolic links are not the access point towards the directory underneath.
They show up with the correct name just not as an dir I can open.
Hope this helps
Grtz and thnx

Imac crashes when connecting usb modem

I have recently upgraded the ram in my old imac G3, I downloaded the mac help pages and followed them to the letter. But when I started back up again my adsl modem showed signs of error, flashing lights etc..., basically, not happy. then after a few moment the black screen warning me to shut down and restart appeared.
When I did this all my connect settings for my external usb modem had vanished and everytime I managed to get my computer to firstly recognise the fact that the modem is actually there, it crashes and displays the black screen appears.
please help!.

I would remove the new RAM as a check to ensure your modem issues and RAM installation happening at the same time is not coincidental. If removing the new RAM causes the problem to go away, I would guess that the RAM is either defective or not compatible with your Mac.

Not detecting tv display when connected with Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapte

I am connecting my macbook to my older tv using a Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter to an RCA (yellow video prong) and then into the tv. The red and white audio prongs hang loose, not hooked into anything on both ends. When I go into Displays there is no option for mirroring displays. I hit 'detect displays' but nothing happens. The Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter is brand new, just ordered it from apple. And I use the RCA cord all the time with other machines into my tv and it works fine.
Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

Which generation MacBook do you have because at some point Apple dropped support for that adapter. Here is a link to a list of Apple adapters and compatible computer models:

No display when connect DVI-D dual link cable

Hi
I am using MS-6398 motherboard and I have the latest Bios 5.60. when I connect DVI-D dual link cable from ATI All-In-Wonder 8500DV graphic card to my SONY SDM-M81 Flat Panel. There is no display at all during POST as well as after boot up. It has display only if I connect with regular analog VGA cable. I have contacted the ATI tech support and they ask me to contact the manufacturer of my motherboard because it don't have display during POST which is nothing to do with driver.
thanks,
Siong

DVI-D port on the Ultradock is single link only.
If you need DVI-D at dual link resolution (i.e. 2560x1600), you need an active displayport to dual link converter. Startech makes them, they should be around 80 USD or something of that region.

Dynadock U3.0 freezes the display when connected

I am using the dynadock u3.0 docking station. The display/laptop freezes every so often. It happens most often when I visit a website with flash video (CNN/Youtube) etc. I thought this has to do with Chrome/Flash so I uninstalled/reinstalled etc but the issue still exists. The laptop when not connected with the docking station, it behaves fine. I am able to visit youtube, cnn etc. So I think the issue is with the docking station. Any idea how to get this fixed?

HT5313 Since upgrading to 10.7.5, I can't use headphones on my Macbook Pro (with retina display) when connected to a Thunderbolt Display. Anybody else? Any solutions?

When I connect my headphones to my Macbook Pro, the sound continues to come through the Thunderbolt display instead of the headphones. Any help would be appreciated.

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

Artwork display when connected to docking station

I have a 6th gen Nano & when it is connected to my docking station I expected the album artwork to be displayed continuously rather than fade out after a few seconds. It did stay displayed once, but only once & I have never managaged to get it to happen again. Should I be able to achieve this and if so how?

While syncing or processing in your dock, the Nano typically turns off the Nano display so it can update you with the progress of your sync. As a result, you shouldn't see any album art until the USB cable is disconnected from Nano.
The only exception would be if the Nano wasn't completely seated in the dock/USB cable, which would mean that you could still see the album art.
