System preferences in lion server not responding

My System Preferences iin Lion Server are not responding.
when I try to open any application in the system preferences panel, it never opens
How can I fix this?

Boot with your bootable backup/clone and restore it. If you don't have one, boot with your install disc and restore your Time Machine backup from some point in the past before the problem cropped up. Don't have one of those either? Then, boot with the install disc and reinstall Snow Leopard. That should restore all functionality without mucking with anything else. Then, run Software Update to get to something other than the 10.6 that your profile is showing, namely 10.6.4, the latest version, repair permissions, and restart.

Lion server not responding

I have a mac mini server which I upgraded from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server, I noticed that it locked up every few days, but I was still able to reboot/restart and gain access again. I updated to 10.7.1 (server) and now I can connect to the system but none of the server tools will connect to the server system, either remotely or on the same system, tried using the local name, full DNS name, and local host 127.0.0.1 all ask for userid and password but fail to connect - Yes I am using the same admin password etc as the user on the system.
So right now I have a server that I can't manage, anyone have any ideas?

Your L2tp and pptp address range should should be out of the range of each other and outside of the scope of any dhcp or existing fixed IP addresses
The correct ports need to be forwarded to your server if you're behind a NAT device
The correct ports need to be open on any firewall your running
If your connecting via domain name, the domain name has to resolve to your IP address from the Internet
If your connecting via IP address you'll need a fix external IP address

Boot to Recovery_HD. (hold Command-R or Option at Startup)
Answer only the "what Language" question, if asked, and do not Install.
Launch Disk Utility.
Select your Hard Drive by Hardware_name.
Inspect the SMART Status for "Verified".
(Repair Disk) This repairs the top level and Boot data.
Select your data Volume ("Macintosh_HD" if you have not changed it).
(Repair Disk) This repairs the Directory data structures in the Volume, and takes several minutes.

Unable to connect, server not responding

Hello,
We've resurrected a machine running 10.4.x from the dead back into use but it isn't happy with our network. It is configured correctly as far as I can tell. It responds to pings, can browse websites, and can mount other drives; however, when I try to mount the 10.4.x machine's drive from another machine I get the following:
"Unable to connect - server not responding." Which I know is completely untrue after testing ping.
I only entered the ip address in the Go > Connect to Server dialog. When attempting to connect from another machine I see a little more output:
"The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://10.0.1.7" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
I am lost here, any help or observations are highly appreciated.

Hi kssi89, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...
http://fuzzy.wordpress.com/2006/12/10/ioerror-36/
But, in this instance I think it's not even starting to.
Assuming Personal File Sharing is on on that machine & Internet Sharing is OFF, I might try trashing these, reboot and set it up again...

Just resolved Back to my Mac issue called Apple Suppport in the UK and they were really helpful if the error DNS server not responding the problem is with Apple server not your server ( I had tried to reboot by router, restart my laptop etc.

I was having problem with my Back to my Mac as message was saying DNS Server not responding . I tried to turn my WIFI off, then my router to no avail. Decided to call Apple Support line in the UK . I got a call back immediatly and great support. The advisor took over my screen and we check that my laptop was synchronising with I phots and it was. The adviser also told that when the message DNS server is not responding next to Back to my Mac is has to do with Apple Server not mine , router etc... Hope this save others some time! Rather than spending time truining on and off changing IP address etc...

Thanks for your thorough post. I too need to use BTMM on almost a daily basis for my job, and it has fallen short countlness times. I too have taken great pains to check all of the typical trouble shooting steps within iCloud and in the Apple keychain on each Mac etc, but after the latest rounds of system updates from Apple a few weeks ago to Mountain Lion, BTMM on one of my Macs is completely broken and unusable. I would concur that if you need remote access for "real" mission critical use, just bite the bullet and pay for a service like LogMeIn. You won't regret it and you will get real software support.

When emailing from iPhoto I keep on getting 'server not responded' message.

Would anyone be able to help with the issue I have with iPhoto. Every time I try to email photos directly from iPhoto I get this message 'server not responded'. I have the lates Mountain Lion OSX installed on MBA. Also, in addition to iCloud account I tried to add two more email accounts to iPhoto hoping that this might solve the problem, but it didn't. Would anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you.

Marius,
set the mailer in the iPhoto Preferences to "Mail.app", not to "iPhoto"
iPhoto > Preferences > General
Email Photos using: Mail
This way you will be able to mail your photos directly from iPhoto, but you cannot use the iPhoto cards; use the Mail Photo stationary instead, once the mail panel opens.
For some reason mailing using iPhoto as Mailer works for me only, if I am mailing from my iCloud accoun,t and if Mail is set to use the iCloud account by default.
Regards
Léonie

HT4907 iCloud server not responding

I have the message "Back to My Mac isn't working properly because the server isn't responding". I tryed to turn off Mack to My Mac and I tryed again but nothing changed?
Can somebody help me what to do?

I was having the same problem but found a solution that worked for me.
1. From the iCloud System Preferences pane, uncheck the Back to My Mac checkbox to turn it off.
2. Open the Keychain Access app (in Applications/Utilities).
3. Click the "System" keychain (You'll see keychains near the upper left of the app window).
4. Make sure "All Items" is selected in the "Category" box below.
5. In the results showing to the right, look for any key whose "Kind" is "Back to My Mac key."
6. Delete the key(s), authenticating with your password to do so.
7. Back in the iCloud System Preferences pane, re-check the Back to My Mac box.
At this point, Back to My Mac started and the "server not responding" message did not appear.
I'd tried unchecking and re-checking several times before to no avail. I hope it works for everyone.
Maybe the keys we had were tied to MobileMe and became invalid when MobileMe shut down?

7410 NFS server not responding

Greetings,
Anyone seeing "NFS server ... not responding" from a client of a 7410?
I have a 7410 with a single J4400 (22 1TB drives @ RAID1, 1 spare, 1 logzilla). It's running 2009.09.01.3.0,1-1.8, which I believe is the latest and greatest. There is one client, a T2000 running Solaris 10. We're using NFS v3 to mount four shares from the 7410. Mount options look like this:
box-nge2:/export/oracle/data - /oradata/data nfs - yes rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,vers=3,noac,forcedirectioA fairly large (~1TB) Oracle database lives here (although there was very little activity in the database when the following occurred).
Today I was cleaning up some old data files from a now unused Oracle instance. Pretty simple: rm -rf /oradata/data/DO-NOT-WANT/ . I was surprised to see the command appear to hang, and the "NFS server kwaltz-nge2 not responding still trying" message appear. Control-C eventually got me my prompt back.
When the system became responsive again a few minutes later I tried deleting files one at a time. Deleting some "large" data files (i.e 200GB or more) was taking more than 2 minutes, and caused the NFS server not responding message. Smaller files would take a few seconds.
Why is a simple "rm" command bringing the 7410 to its knees? Any thoughts? Thanks.
Edited by: roymcmorran on Dec 23, 2009 3:44 PM

After some update issues, we also lost NFS. I created a test share and exported it to one of our Solaris 10 hosts. I got an rpcbind failure. This failure wasn't corrected by restarting the NFS service, nor rebooting the 7410. Rather, I had to DISABLE the NFS service, then re-enable it. After that, all connectivity returned.

Zcm 11.2.4 preboot server not responding

At least since update 11.2.4 can no longer do imaging. I am pretty sure I was doing imaging fine in 11.2.3a, certain in the 11.2.2 level.
receive
"Preboot server not responding. The product license might have expired."
is not expired, license state shows active for configuration management.
client does PXE to maintenance mode just fine and I can ping the zcm server just fine by short or long name from the maintenance mode prompt.
cannot send or receive images, have tried on a couple different systems.
I don't believe any else has changed in the network except for the ZCM update from 11.2.3a to 11.2.4
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike

Problem with premiere and encore export, Adobe QT32 Server (Not Responding)

I could help.
When exporting to Encore or Premiere, the program block.
In the Activity Monitor shows me these two errors:
Adobe QT32 Server (Not Responding)
PPro Headless (Not Responding)
Technical Specifications:
MAC OS X 10.9.5
Adobe Suite CS6
graphics card: AJA KONA LHi
Can you help me please
Thank You

Have you checked out this post from Adobe? I know it says for After Effects but it definitely applies to Premiere too. We have some AJA cards whose components in /library/QuickTime were causing similar Adobe QT32 server hangups; removing them solved our issue but also broke compatibility with older apps like FCP 7.

Hi I am using an iphone 4 and its was working fine. Presently its giving browsing error.

The worst part is am able to check my mails, able to chat and so on... only thing not able to browse through the browser. I have tried restore option also. This is happening with both Wlan and Data con. too
Please help...

I do not really know much about this kind of problem, but i may be your internet connection.
If you are on your own #G network then:
Go to Settings > then enable "Airplane Mode". Count to 10 and then disable it.
Then wait patiently until you get a good connection and then try again.
If you are on a nearby Wi-Fi connection then:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then disable then enable after counting to 10. Make sure that you are connected and then try again.
If all else fails, then you need to contact your provider for assistance.
