Updated to 10.6.3, Windows users cannot connect anymore

Up to 10.6.2 my mac was able to do SMB file sharing with Windows users. After this update, they are unable to connect with the mac.

Gerry, thanks so much for your post. In the meantime, though, here's what I've been doing (it seems to work, though it's taking time; I just hope it's the right thing to do):
- I open a year's worth of photos, and choose one; control-click and choose 'Locate Referenced Files'.
- this brings up a huge window; at the top is the photo I'd selected. In the bottom half of the window I can navigate to the right year's folder in my 'Pictures' folder, and then to the right folder in this year, and in fact navigate right down to the exact photo. Once I've selected this photo in the lower half of the window the 'Reconnect all' button (that's been greyed out until now) is selectable. I choose it, and the whole year's photographs are re-referenced.
That seems to do it.
I'd like to have been able to do it more simply and quickly (I like the sound of your plan), but in the half-hour that I was waiting, I thought I'd try something and this seems to work. Let me know what you think of my strategy if you have the time and inclination.
Regards, Malcolm

  • Lion-Windows users cannot see attachments

    I just upgraded to Lion, and now some Windows users cannot see/find attachments. I did all that was advised (clicking on the "Windows user friendly" list), but to no avail. I sent to several Windows users and no one can see attachments with the new Mail program. Also, one of the most important icons in the Mail toolbar ("Add Attachment") seems to be missing. This sometimes helped in previous Mail versions when sending to PCs, but I cannot locate it in Lion. Looks like I will have to use Microsoft Office Outlook for email. This is too bad, as I like the other features the new Apple Mail program has, but must use a trustworhty email program.

    Scott,
    The issue is one I am chasing, and is due to Lion's change to not send Plain Text (apparently).  Although changed in the Compose window, when reviewed, it will have been sent with HTML, anyway.
    While the actual problem is with MS and Outlook or Outlook Express, the work around once was to use the command to Make Plain Text before sending.

  • Windows users cannot open my Pages documents

    Even though I check Windows Friendly Attachment, Windows users cannot open my Pages documents. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

    If the only questions we're going to answer are the ones that aren't already answered in the manual, then these discussions will consist of little more than directing people to page numbers. Yes, it would be nice if people read the manual before posting here. But everyone's brain works a little differently, and I don't mind if nice people ask questions that can be solved by reading the manual or doing a search in this discussion group. Even figuring out how to find things in the manual isn't intuitive to a lot of people.
    In terms of helping people, it's actually a lot less work to provide a solution for them than to look it up in the manual, then come back and report the page number.

  • Windows SMB users cannot connect to 10.5.4 server

    Hi all,
    Have a server running 10.5.4 bound to AD and running an OD to provide management of the Macs. Pretty standard setup and haven't had any problems elsewhere with the same deployment. However we're having a problem with XP users connecting to SMB shares. Mac users can connect over AFP or SMB fine, XP users are getting a "Network path could not be found" error. What's more the errors in the SMB log on the server aren't too descriptive. We're getting a few broken pipe errors, but no indication of what's causing that. XP machines don't appear to be getting to the authentication stage.
    Server is an Xserve with a Promise RAID, shares are on a 4TB partition, bound to AD (OD not running Kerberos). SMB setup seems to be correctly aware of the AD.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks

    Is your SMB a Standalone or Domain Member?
    I have a similar problem and noticed that if I change SMB from "Domain Member" to Standalone Windows users can connect. Now every so often Leopard Server will change SMB back to a Domain Member (automatically).
    I have the Server bound to AD. AFP works for the Macs no matter what. Mac Users authenticate to AD and mount the share. However if they try to use SMB, it fails for the Macs as well if SMB is a Domain Member.
    I would like to stop Leopard from not reverting back or fix the "domain member" problem.
    The fact that I can connect while it's a Standalone suggests, to me, that it's not a permissions problem. As well the failure carries to the Mac side means it's not a Windows issue.

  • I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server

    I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server.  It says check your user name and password are correct.  Well they are, and were.  Nothing has changed except the mac OS. 
    Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it?  Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
    Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
    retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums.  so far all have proved unsuccessful.
    I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks,
    Mike

    Many users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included.  You likely have corrupted settings for your  "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts.  Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to.  Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column.  When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line.  Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server".  Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

  • App store updates I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    On my iphone under the App store updates, I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    Thanks for responding turingtest2 - I finally worked it out (no thanks to Apple!) - I am in South Africa at the moment and availability of content here is very limited (it seems) according to the bloggers - when I looked there is a tiny faint grey note at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/za/itunes/download ...
    it seems to pick up South Africa and the UK - in fact I have set up an alternative UK apple ID so I suppose it sees my ipad, checks my "accounts" and constructs the note accordingly?  Weird. 
    It would have been REALLY helpful to have a clear indication of content availability when setting up the South African account.  I have found the several places where the experts explain how to work around this problem with fake US addresses and voucher payments.  I don't want to do that. 
    I have to say that my limited experience with iTunes and Apple over three years (previously on PC/Windows) is way below what I would expect from Apple inc ... this incident must have wasted four hours of my life ...

  • Sharing only users cannot connect to Lion Server

    Dear all,
    I stumbled across a funny problem, that I tried to resolve all day. I just wanted to add a sharing only user for my girlfriends new MacBook that she could use to connect to a shared Time Machine Volume.
    If I add a new standard user, this user can connect to my server via finder (connect as...) and see the shared drives. If the same user tries to connect to the Time Machine Backup Volume via the settings dialog, it receives an error message (OSStatus-error 5).
    If I add a sharing only user, this user cannot connect via finder or Time Machine (same error). The clients console states the following error message:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/NetAuthAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/NetAuthAgent[2471]      AFP error -5018 mapped to EIO
    Does anybody have an Idea?

    That is my point.  Yes, Apple still lets you add users via users and groups in system preferences but that is not how you should be adding users.  I've seen nothing but trouble when that option is used to add users and I believe that the Lion server docs say to not use that.  If you are using lion server why not use it the way it was meant to be.  Just create a account in OD and only give her access to the Time Machine Service and none of the others.

    I suspect the problem is to do with Kerberos and in relation to this server being an OD Replica.
    I would really appreciate anyone's insight into this.

    I have the same problem although I upgraded from Lion Server to Mountain Lion Server. The error appears to go hand in hand with this error.
    userInit: CFPreferences: user home directory for user kCFPreferencesCurrentUser at /Network/Servers/fullyqualifieddomainname/Users/user is unavailable. User domains will be volatile.
    I've read a number of things to try. A lot of people point to DNS being a problem, but I'm confident this is correct in my environment.

    The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
    She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.

  • User cannot connect to backend system with user J2EE_ADMIN.

    I am using Rapid Installer to initiate the second part of the installtion "ERP 6.0 EhP 3 – Self-Service Scenarios and Automatic Roles".  When I get to the J2EE User section to enter the parameters, the user is defaulted to "Administrator" and I enter my password.  I click next and get this message "User cannot connect to backend system with user J2EE_ADMIN."  Any ideas?

    If this is a double stack installation, you need to enter J2EE_ADMIN as user, NOT administrator.

  • Windows users cannot open window friendly attachments

    Hello All,
    I have sent "windows friendly" attachments from Mail but Windows recipients cannot open the attachments. This is with .tiff , .pages, etc. I have also tried to change the file name to .doc, .tif, etc. The only attachments that seem to work are .pdf . The check box "send windows friendly" is always checked.
    Any way around this?

    I tried it and it works. From Pages I did this:
    1.
    2. Clicked Word Doc.
    3. Then saved to desktop so it is easy to find
    At first what I did was attach a "Windows Friendly" from Mail. Which you would think would make it "ok" for a pc user. Guess not... (see below)
    Thanks for everybody's help!
