Trouble deleting name/password when connecting to server

I teach in a computer lab populated with 10.3.9 eMacs. I have students log onto a server (10.2.8) to store their files. One kid has managed to save his server connection login name and password so that it comes up as the default. Not a good idea with other students using the same computer and are thus able to access his file folder. I've tried emptying every cache and preference file that looks to be related to the connect to server screen to no avail. Clicking the Options button and unchecking/checking options did not change his name and password from appearing automatically either. There has to be a way to undo this, but I'm at the end of my progress bar. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Do your users use Exchange? If so, they can log into OWA and change the password from there.
Do you have a Mac server kicking around? If so, you can bind it to the domain, set up an AFP share that the users can access, and then they can change password from the connect to server dialog as shown below:
Note that AFP provides a Change Password... button. Clicking it...
Allows you to change a password. This server in bound to AD and the jadams users is an AD account.

I'm having trouble deleting mail. When I select all and delete it doesn't always work. Is there a glitch in this app?

Have you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that doesn't resolve this, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but all device settings will have to be entered again.
If that doesn't fix it, your next step might be to backup then erase all content and settings or restore the iPad to factory settings. See how if goes if you reset all settings first.

Forget iPhone password, when connect to computer "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a pass code. You must enter pass code on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."

You have to restore it using a computer with iTunes per the knowledge base article above.
With iOS 7, if you have Find My Phone turned on you can login to iCloud from a computer and send an erase signal to the iPhone to clear it...that will erase all content and settings.

Permissions Trouble when Connected to Server

Setup: iMac G3 running Server 10.3.9 (file sharing services only); Powerbook G4 running Client 10.3.9; connection to server via Airport.
Problem: When logged on to a sharepoint on the server using my user profile name and password, I have read only permissions despite the fact that the server is configured to include my user profile in a group with full read-write permissions.
I have created a new alternate user profile on my Powerbook and from there have successfully logged on to the server using my original user profile name and password with full read-write priveledges.
Also, I do not have this problem when logging on from another client machine in the office.
Question: Are there steps I can take to restore my original user profile on my Powerbook so that I may successfully log in to my server with full read-write priveledges?
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Mark
P.S. I had started a thread under this subject heading within the discussion group "Mac OS X 10.3 > Using Mac OS X," before being referred to this discussion group. You may want to review that thread.

I gather from the relative silence that the solution to my problem is not known.
Let me pose a new question. Since I am able to create a new user profile on my Powerbook G4 and log on to the server as "Mark" with full read-write priviledges, is there a simple way to move all of my files, preferences and mail account information from one profile to another? If so, would I need to migrate the data twice -- once to the new alternate profile, and a second time to a newly recreated "Mark" profile?
Of course I'm still open to a simpler solution if one is known.
Sincerely,
Mark

Finder error -36 when connecting to server - smbclient in terminal works

Finder > Go > Connect to Server
When ever I need to connect to a smb server using Finder, I get the constant error -36.
In console :
mount_smbfs: session setup phase failed: syserr = Socket is not connected
mount_smbfs: could not login to server EXIT15: syserr = Socket is not connected
mount_smbfs: 2 failures to open smb device: syserr = Resource busy
mount_smbfs: session setup phase failed: syserr = Authentication error
mount_smbfs: error from NetrShareEnum call: exception = 382312500
I can sometimes select the share to mount, and it tries for a few seconds, never succeeds.
10.4.10, but this was also case previously. We have every single Mac with this symptom so it is 7 work units at the moment, a Mac Pro, MacBook Pros, MacBook, Mac mini.
Wired, wireless, and even VPN, no matter how the mac is connected to the net.
Every non-Mac server at work tested gives this error when trying to connect to their shares.
smbclient in terminal works.
http://www.macwindows.com/tiger.html and Apple kbase article 301580 suggestions for nsmb.conf didn't make any difference. (the nsmb noauth being a very poor choice if it would work)
smb.conf and nsmb.conf any security settings don't make any difference.
I have working details for connection, so share, ip and dns name, username and password for connection work.
Connecting from Terminal works.
Connecting from any Windows or Linux virtual machine on Fusion on these same Macs work too.
I have changed the workgroup to the correct one in Directory Access.
I have tried all connection syntaxes suggested in http://www.macwindows.com/tiger.html - none of them still work in Finder, always identical results.
smbclient //dns-name-or-ip/sharename -W workgroup -U username
is the only viable workaround at the moment.
Domain=[dnsnameofwhereconnected] OS=[EMC-SNAS:T5.4.21.400] Server=[NT1]
is what smbclient gives for server details when its connected.
As smb works from command line, it's not smb itself that is affected. Just Finder.
I don't have access to edit any settings on the servers that we need to connect to. Only sharename and password that work for connection, but don't allow any editing on the server's settings.
Ideas? This should work in Finder.
Smbclient and Fusion area already somewhat workarounds, so I'm not looking for any third party software for dealing with this.
I spent way too much time with AppleCare on this, and all I got was 90 minutes wasted.
Ideas anyone???

I think I have found what caused it. Not solved, but at least this seems so far the most likely cause:
The share name contains hyphen.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106471 Mac OS X 10.1 or later: How to Connect to Windows File Sharing (SMB) : Date Modified: August 01, 2007
“6. You cannot connect to a share with a name that contains a hyphen. Resolve the issue by giving the share a name that does not contain a hyphen.”
smbclient in Terminal is not limited to this "feature" of Finder of Mac OS X 10.1 that was not fixed or recoded to solve it or modify it since adding smb in it in 2001.
It's not possible to test this changing the share name to one that does not contain a hyphen, nor to have one added in this server.
For users that won't have Terminal access, the solution are .. remote desktop with admin user, have admin user come to mount the share in location, or use virtualization software and with it anything that works.
Probably too optimistic to think the smb parts would have been rewritten for 10.5.

HT1515 Will Airport Express work in hotels in China? They require user name/password to connect. Has anyone used one there?

I will be traveling in China with my iPad2 and want to use hotel wireless. It requires a sign-in with user name/password. Can I use an Airport Express for this purpose? How do I set it up for that? I have an old Express (pre-2007); can I use it or do I need to upgrade to the new model?

OK - I have never been to China but the posts here say that it can be done - the cable from the hotel should be connected to the WAN port of the Express - the Express should be in bridge mode and set to create a wireless network with a name and password of your choice - you can do this with a computer before you leave for China or with the iPad if you have previously downloaded the Airport Utility app - you would then connect to your network and attempt to bring up a web page such as Google - the hotel should then intervene and ask you for the login info that they have provided.

Can't paste password in "connect to server" login box

I need to connect to a webDAV site that assigns temporary login passwords to my established ID. (The temp password lasts 8 hours and is 30+ characters long.)
In Leopard 10.5.6, I can't copy the assigned password from the resulting web page and paste it into the "connect to server" login password box. I can, however, paste the password into a text file. (Can't paste that into the box either.)
Pasting the password works with a Tiger installation on another machine and with a crappy XP laptop. I've tried to use it on my Leopard installation in a brand new account with no luck either.
Huh?

Catherine,
You can provide feedback to Apple on that issue if you wish. http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Too many sharepoints when connecting to server

I have a 10.5.8 Tiger server. I am upgrading to the new Lion Server. I have setup the server, created users and groups and setup Sharepoints using the Server App. The problem is I have several sharepoints specific to certain groups. In Tiger the user would mount the server from GO/Connect to Server.
There would be only one volume or sharepoint available. Once mounted they would only have access to the directories/sharepoints for their group. The
other directories would be locked. This is still the case with Lion once they mount the main volume.
However the difference in Lion I am trying to figure out is ALL the sharepoints I have created show up in the list of the mounted server when connecting through GO/Connect to Server. Even the sharepoints a certain user does not have access to. When they try and mount the shrepoint they do not have access to they are given a message that they do not have access to this sharepoint. How can I hide those sharepoints from showing up in the mount window? In Tiger I have the same amount of sharepoints but only one volumes shows up for the users to mount.

Dick,
I know this sounds silly but while in Finder goto (Finder)/(Preferences) and then make sure your on the (General) tab, make sure all the things you want to show are checked.
If that doesn't help move the com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop you can find in in ~/Library/Preferences ( ~ = Your Home Folder), log out/log in, and see if that fixes the problem if not go ahead and move the plist file back.
hope that helps,

Problem when connecting sql server 2005 using SQL developer

Hi,
I installed Sql developer and I am trying to connect sql server 2005 using windows authentication. I had previously the SSO folder problem saying the path is missing in java.library.path. I copied the SSO folder into Sqldeveloper directory. I changed the settings under computer management->services and applications->sql server configuration manager->sql server 2005 network configuration ->protocols for sqlexpress->I enabled TCP/IP.
Now I am getting an error saying "Failure-can not open user default database.Login Failed. Login failed for user ...".
I am able to connect thru ODBC driver using windows authentication.
Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lakshmi

Hi Martin,
Your solution has solved my problem too. Thanks for posting these workaround fixes :-)
However, there seem to be a problem with datetime fields. The query:
select getdate()
returns something like: oracle.datetimestamp.@1aed4
Is there a way to get around with this? Otherwise, using SQL Developer as a client for SQL Server doesn't serve the right purpose when we cannot access simple date fields :-)

Admin name/password when shutting down

Here's a weird one. Just got a MacBook and transferred data/settings etc. from iBook using firewire. Everything seems to work, except: when multiple users are logged in, and I try to shut down, it asks for Admin name/password in order to shut down. Same as iBook, except the MacBook doesn't recognize either the name of the Admin or the password (don't know which). The admin password worked for installing software updates, so I'm totally confused. I reset the admin password using the install disc, but it still doesn't recognize the name or password. Anyone have a clue to help? Log in password works, as does the app. install (as I mentioned).

Thank for the hint, James!
There was a problem with an "extra" user logged in - "_xcsbuildd ".
"sudo xcrun xcscontrol --reset" completely removes the Xcode Service including the _xcsbuildd user.

When connecting to server the other computers will not mount on the desktop

Hello
I have three computers connected wireless and ethernet. When connecting to the imac and mac pro with my macbook pro the other computers will not mount on the desktop. I have never had a problem like this before.
The imac and mac pro will mount the laptop or imac and the imac will mount the mac pro and laptop.
When I connect to the server with the laptop I can access everything thru the shared folders but nothing will mount on the laptop desktop using the, connect to server.
External HD connected with firewire will mount and the internal cd/dvd will mount.
I have ran permissions repair on the laptop. Have I accidently changed some configuration I am not aware of?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated
Thank You
Dick

Outlook 2013 repeatedly prompts for password when connecting to Exchange Server 2010

I am trying to configure Outlook 2013 on a Windows 8.1 Pro client. The exchange server is 2010 SP1 and works just fine with OL 2010.
When I configure OL 2013, the configuration prompts for a password for the account repeatedly with both NTLM and Basic Authentication chosen. OL 2013 tries to connect and then it disconnects with the password for the account repeatedly prompted. When
the credentials are entered, the prompt reappears immediately.
Might anyone help?
Many thanks in advance
