Using OSX as our LDAP and connecting Linux Samba Server

I've been pulling my hair out for a few days now getting my linux box running samba to use my os x server ldap. I just can't seem to find the correct way to set up my smb.conf file that allows it to work. Currently when I try to connect to the samba share it spins for a while and then says, Connection failed. There was an error connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP. Then you hit ok and it says: Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct.
It never does actually ask me for a name or password. So does anybody know for a linux box how we set up the smb.conf file correctly? I've tried to follow the examples online and it just does not seem to work.

If you have a hard drive with space, you might try partitioning so you could install Mavericks, while preserving your current system, to see whether it works with the apps you have.

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run.

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run. I tried 7.0.4 and 7.1.2, both from Apple software update and both crash during "loading themes". I am reluctant to upgrade OSX from 10.7.5 because I do not want to loose Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Apple Care no longer supports iDVD. I want a version if iDVD that supports Chapter markers as in iDVD 7.?.? that i used with my old (now deceased) Apple Power PC Mac Pro.

iDVD 7 should work fine with 10.7.5. Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Just installed mac osx snow leopard upgrade and connected my printer to it too, and realized I have no sound anymore

Just installed mac osx snow leopard upgade and connected my printer too, and realized I have lost sound!   Can anyone help?

In case I misunderstood, did you mean that the 10.6.3 version of Snow Leopard was the upgrade? If so you need to update via 10.6.6 to 10.6.8. These updates can correct minor system upsets.
And ... did you also repair permissions both before and after you upgraded.   You should do this when you progress via 10.6.6 to 10.6.8 too.

MacBook Pro 15" using OSX 10.4.11 and new apple TV issues w. home sharing

I have a MacBook Pro 15" using OSX 10.4.11 and would like to pair it with my apple TV without spending over 100.00 dollars any advise on a software that can help me do that without the big ticket?

First of all thank you for your assistance. I have a router and the network is configured, however my OS is 10.4.11 and I am unable to update I-Tunes to 10.2 because I do not have the correct OS. My current I-Tunes software version is 9.2 and when I try to update to I-Tunes 10.2.2 it requires Mac OS X version 10.5 or later. Do I have to buy the OSX 10.5 or is there an alternative to purchasing the whole OSX?

I'd suggest being more specific. What do you mean by "it seems to have thrown windows out of the system?" The Windows virtual machines should still be in the Virtual Machines folder in your documents folder. Are they there? What version of Fusion have you updated from and to?
You might also consider raising your question in the VMware Fusion forum: http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/fusion?view=discussions&sta rt=0.

Using OSX 10.9.4 and want to have photoshop as my default for photos instead of Preview. Any suggestions?

In the Mac Finder, select the icon of any of your photo files and do a Get Info (Command i) on it. Then select the application you want to open your photo files, then Click on Change All.
You'll need to do this once for an icon of each file type, i.e. one on a JPEG file, one on a TIFF, one for PSD, one for raw files, etc.

3rd node is taking 15% of CPU without any load and connection on the server

Hi,
I am struggling to resolve the 3rd node is taking 15% of CPU without any load and connection on the server. but not find clues for this. Please give me some inputs.
The issue is:
We have 8 databases on our 3node RAC (11.2.0.1). One of the performance team guy reported that 3rd node is taking 15%cpu utilization when there is no load and connection to the database and at that time the other 2 node are taking only 1%cpu. even i have checked it by using top command and it is almost given same results.
To come out of this issue, i have two solution in my mind, but i am not sure whether this approach is good or bad. the plans are
(1). shutdown the databases and check the cpu usage. --to findout is there any thing wrong with Kernel parameters or at system level.
(2). Shutdown the databases and CRS on the 3rd node and reboot the server.
If above process is correct then i need to take permission from my manager.
I am total stuck, what i need to do. Is there any other approach to resolve this issue. Please help me, this is very critical issue for me.
Also i have checked from GV$SESSION for the active session, but i didn't find any connection apart from oracle processes.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Guzma for your suggestion,
When i checked the gv$session for the active sessions from only 2databases, Do i need to check in all the databases and make sure there are no active session and try for the 1st solution.
-more over i have observed that one of the oracle process is taking 99% of the 15%cpu when i checked from top command. i have tried to find out the what the session is from below, but it given no results from the 2of the DB's.

Playback of flv using Flash Player 10.1 and Flash Media Interactive Server jerky.

Greetings:
Thanks for taking time to read this.
Here is our problem:
Playback of flv using Flash Player 10.1 and Flash Media Interactive Server jerky.
Playback ok if using Flash Player 10.0 with Flash Media Interactive Server.
1. Record live using Flash Media Interactive Server
2. Attempt to play back resulting flv using Flash Player 10.1 and Flash Media Interactive Server.
Video plays ok for a few seconds and then plays faster than as recorded -- very jerky.
Audio plays at normal rate.
OS: Windows 7 64bit (two different machines. All updates installed.)
Web browser: FireFox 3.6.10 and IE8 8.0.7600.16385
Flash version: 10.1.85.3
Tried with hardware acceleration on and off.
Note: Also had another person report the same thing on a Mac.
We had been using Flex 3, so we tried building with Flash Builder 4 – had the same problem.
This is a show stopper for us.
Tried using Wowza and everything worked.
We’re dropping FMIS and switching to Wowza.
If someone can suggest something else to try, we would appreciate it.

Hi Greg,
So if I understand correctly, your findings are:
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Flash Media Interactive Server = Jerky Video
Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Flash Media Interactive Server = Smooth Video
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Wowza = Smooth Video
And what about Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Wowza?
Also, if you could check the network traffic to confirm if it's Flash Player causing the issue or it is receiving it like that from FMIS.
Cheers

TS3276 iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep

iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep. The only way I can reconnect the iCloud email is to restart the computer. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this issue?

I would suggest you try opening "Mail">click on "Mailboxes" in the Menu Bar> and select "Rebuild" from the list. That may solve it.

Can Bex be used as a standalone app and connect through ODBC ?

Hi Guru's
We have a scenario in which we want to connect a Netezza server to our Netweaver2004s BW server and transfer the date from BW to Netezza .We want the queries to be processed by the Netezza server and view reports by placing Bex on top of Netezza server . My question is can we connect Bex to Netezza server by using ODBC and not the odbc of the excel ..or is the connection needs to be made through the ODBC of excel and Bex will work fine as it is embedded in excel itself . Any pointers in this regard will be of great help .
Thanks in advance

HP 8500 Printer and Connection to eprint server

Refurbished Printer: HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premium A910 n (Changes status from new to refurbished 02-17-2011)
ISP: ATT DSL
Modem/Router: 2wire new from Best Buy. It is white with ATT logo on it. Is using latest firmware.
Network: ethernet
The printer downloaded and installed a firmware update after initialization. So it is connected to the internet.
It then tried to register to the eprint server and said it cannot connect to eprint server.
The printer functions normally in every way except it will not register to eprint server.
Numerous calls and hours with HP Support rebooting, resetting and everything else under the sun have done nothing.
I tried setting IP and DSN addresses per all the suggestions in these forums and nothing works.
Could there be an issue with the HP Sever? Does it really exist? Are there compatibility issues with 2wire router.
ATT did remote session on my computer and could find nothing they could do. They were able to plot a test page remotely.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
NEW INFORMATION (02-11-2011):
I noticed today while looking at the EWS that the printer SSID is not the same as the router, but it was grayed out. Does this matter for ethernet? If so how do I change it? I do not think this matters for ethernet.
NEW INFORMATION (02-12-2011):
The support team at 2wire have given me procedure to completely open all in and out traffice to the printer. They said if this does not work then the problem is with the eprint server. I will try this on Monday, but I expect there is a communication problem between the printer and the eprint server that has nothing to with anything at my location or my ISP. Is there any way to check the server this printer is trying to connect to? Where is it? Is it operational? If not, is it rerouting properly to an operational server? The printer must be trying to access a particlar IP address or DNS to establish communication.
NEW INFORMATION (02-14-2011):
Per the instructions from 2wire support team I opened all ports and allowed all services then turned the printer off and on. It did not work. The printer will not connect to the HP eprint server. So the problem is with the HP eprint server. This printer is programmed to look somewhere for a server to connect to. Where is it? Is it operational? Why will not allow a connection? HP the ball is in your court. What can we do?
I have ATT DSL at work and Charter Cable service at home. The problem is the same for both locations and ISP's. Is there anyone out there has connected that has ATT DSL or Charter Cable? If so what are your settings?
NEW COMMENT (02-15-2011)
Can anyone at HP tell me why the printer will connect to the HP Server and download the firmware update, but will not connect to the HP Server to register to eprint? It all seems to be on HP's side. When will we get a fix?
NEW COMMENT (02-16-2011)
The model number is blank in the engineering menu and the printer diagnositc page. If this is an issue can it be added with a firmware update? Do I need to get money back for this one and buy a fully configure one in a local store? Maybe the blank model number is throwing all the other information out of place that is being sent to the server. Can the server be updated to accept blank model numbers?
POSSIBLE SOURCE OF PROBLEM - SOLUTION PENDING (02-16-2011)
I JUST LOOKED ON THE BACK OF MY PRINTER. IT HAS A REMANUFACTURED STICKER ON IT.
It appears that the missing model number on the remanufacturered units is the reason why it will not connect to the eprint server. Print out the printer diagnostic page and see if the model number is blank.
HP is working on a fix.
SOLUTION- (02-22-2011)
I UPGRADED MY ORDER FROM REFURBISHED TO NEW REPLACEMENT. THE NEW REPLACEMENT CONNECTED THE FIRST TIME TO EMPRINT SERVER - NO PROBLEMS. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW ONE AND THEY WILL CREDIT MY CARD WHEN THEY GET THE REFURBISHED ONE BACK.
LESSON LEARNED - IF YOU HAVE PRINTER WITH BLANK MODEL NUMBER YOU WILL NOT ABLE TO CONNECT TO EPRINT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!
Thanks if anyone can help.
This question was solved.

Try setting a fixed IP/DNS…hopefully you haven’t tried that yet. (The problem is most likely w/how therouter and the printer are communicating…setting the fixed IP/Manua DNS should fix it. )          If previous steps didn’t help, you may need to set a fixed IP address/DNS Server on your printer.
Setting a fixed IP address/DNS Server for your printer may resolve web services connectivity issues that can occur on some networks with some routers. Note: This may be particularly helpful with networks using DSL/VIOS routers.
Please read the entire set of instructions through completely before trying them. You should not attempt these on your own if you don't understand networking basics. Most of us have a "techie" buddy/friend/family member...if you're not comfortable this might be a good time to call him/her, or contact HP support.
Before you begin, we recommend you first remove Web Services from your printer. (See the previous section for where to find this on your printer.) Removing web services will remove your printer from your HPePrintCenter.com account (if you have previously set up an account and added it). When you re-enable web services after completing these steps you will have a new ePrint email address and need to add your printer to your ePC account again.
Setting a manual IP address/DNS Server on your web-connected printer:
Print a Network Configuration Page from the printer front panel. On some printers this will be under Wireless>Wireless Settings, and on other models use the “Print Report” option from the Wireless status screen accessed from the wireless icon on the printer home screen.   Note the printer's IP address that is listed in the IPv4 section of the report. On most printers you can also see the printer’s IP address from the Wireless menu, or on the Wireless status screen.
Type that IP address into your browser address bar (where you would normally type a web page URL) and hit enter - this will load the printer's internal settings page (also known as an Embedded Web Server, or EWS)
Select the “Network” or “Networking” tab (the label varies depending on printer model) from the tabs along the top of the screen in the EWS
Depending on your printer model, the next step(s) will vary:
Select the “IPv4” option from along the left side of the Networking screen
or
Select the “Networking” option from the left side of the screen
Then select the “Network Address (IP)” option from the left side of the screen
The screen you end up on should be the “IP Address Configuration” screen. That screen allows you to choose an Automatic or Manual (i.e., fixed) IP address for your printer, as well as Subnet Mask and Default Gateway values. You will use this screen to set a Manual IP address for your printer.
To continue:
Select the radio button next to “Manual IP”
Select the “Suggest a Manual IP Address” option below the IP address fields. The Manual IP address fields will automatically populate with suggested values.
Select the “Manual DNS Server” radio button in the DNS Address Configuration section
Enter the address just entered in the “Manual Default Gateway” into the “Manual Preferred DNS Server” field. Leave the “Manual Alternate DNS Server” entry blank.
Carefully double-check the values you entered to make sure they are all correct.
Click 'Apply'
Save any open documents and close any web browsers on any computers
Turn off the printer and unplug the router.
Plug in the router, wait for it to start up and for status lights to settle down (approximately a minute at least), then turn on the printer.
If you removed web services from your printer before starting this process, after the printer has connected to your network, re-enable web services on your device and add your printer to your account on HPePrintCenter.
If you did not remove web services before setting a manual IP address and are still having connection issues, remove and re-add web services.
In some cases you might need to add the printer to your computer’s Printer/My Printers folder again, after you set the new fixed IP address.   If you have problems printing to your printer, simply use the option to add a printer, select the Networked printer type, and complete the add printer wizard. You will not need to reinstall any printer software on your computer.
