Viewing Windows servers in finder

In Tiger, I was able to click on "Network" in finder and view all the Windows servers and computers on the domain my network connection was running through.
Now in Leopard, I can see all the Macs that are connected on the network but I can't see any Windows servers or computers. I have to use the "connect to server" option to connect to any Windows servers instead of just double clicking on them. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

I found some other information on this on another site and I think it could be related to my smb.conf file possibly. I took a look at mine but I can't find anything that jumps out as needing to be changed or added.
Here is a copy of my smb.conf file, I was hoping someone would be able to tell if something changed or added to it would relieve me of my issues:

  • Is there a way to view just one open Finder window (without any other Finder or other application windows coming into view) from a Desktop hot corner in Yosemite?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite from Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro. Previously, I could view just one open Finder window by viewing the Desktop via a hot corner and then selecting Finder from the Dock. This would pull only the top Finder winder into view, without showing any other open Finder windows, and most importantly, any other open application windows. I could then easily drag files/folder from my Desktop into the Finder window (which I do A LOT). Since upgrading to Yosemite, whenever I use the Desktop hot corner and select Finder from the Dock, it pulls every open application and Finder window back into view, putting Finder in front.
    Is there any way to view just one already open Finder window (or all Finder windows for that matter) without seeing all other open applications, without having to Hide the other applications or using Spaces?

    Yes I've created an Automator Application that does the job, but the "watch me do" function that does the Mail Merge is a rather Clunkey work around, as the mouse moves all over the place, thats the part i want to remove and replace with a script, or work out a different way around it that avoids the "watch me do" function.
    Is this Possible? or where/who is there i can ask to write me a script, im not a novice to scripting, but i am a novice to Applescript.

  • Mail Viewer Window Does Not Open on Launch. Mail Will Not Quit. MAIL BADGER

    <UPDATE> After detailing all of the problems below, I discovered that trashing the Mail Badger bundle solved all of the below problems. I am still posting this just in case anybody else has this problem.
    Problems:
    1. When opening mail.app, the program opens, but it does not launch a Viewer Window. I can open a viewer window manually from the File menu, however.
    2. When quitting mail.app, it will not quit. It does not matter whether I hit command-Q, or Mail>Quit Mail, or right-click on dock icon and click Quit. The only way for me to quit is Force Quit. No matter what Quit command I execute, nothing happens. The Viewer Window does not close. (The Viewer Window will close on command, however, either by clicking the red 'x' or by command-W, or by File>Close.
    3. Cannot send mail from mail.app. Upon clicking "send" on a new email, it just goes to the Outbox and sits there forever. I can try sending the email again from the Outbox, but nothing happens. (I have 4 gmail accounts, with a couple thousand messages between them. There are no problems with port configurations or smtp servers or anything like that - I am fairly certain anyway because nothing has changed w/ regard to the account settings between the time it was working and the time it stopped working.)
    4. After minimizing the Viewer Window, clicking on the mail.app dock icon does not restore the Viewer Window. The only way to restore the Viewer Window is to click on the Viewer window itself in the dock, rather than clicking on the application icon.
    Notes: I have installed 10.4.10. I have also installed Safari Beta 3.0.2
    I previously installed Safari Beta 3.0, then uninstalled it and upgraded to 3.0.2. I don't recall when the problems started, (under 3.0 or 3.0.2), but they all happened at the same time (rather than one at a time).
    I have uninstalled Safari 3 and reverted to Safari 2, but this does not fix the problems.
    I have repaired disk permissions.
    I have booted from the OS X Install disk and repaired my startup disk.
    I have not had any problems with Safari 3 "hanging" on install, thus corrupting the WebKit, as described in other threads.

    I had the same issue and resolution. Spotlight search for "Mail Badger" and deleting everything resolves the issue.
    I'm also running Safari 3.0.2 and 10.4.10...
    I've emailed the developer to let him know about it..

    Hi Ashley Clavette,
    The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
    When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what  exactly happens ?  Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

  • BO XI R2 - "Blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window - attempt to print report

    My company recently set up a Business Object Enterprise XI Release 2 server.  On the server are a number of crystal reports that are run interactively by users, through the user console.  The expectation is that the user will log on to the BI server, click on the report title, enter the parameters, see a preview of the report in the Crystal Report Viewer, then click the print icon on the Crystal Report Viewer toolbar.
    Our corporate standard is current Windows XP SP3, with Internet Explorer 8;  By default, users are set up to use the DHTML report viewer.  The reports were developed with the Crystal Reports XI R2 report designer, and connect to an Oracle 10g database through Oracle client.
    When users attempt to view, then print the reports, the user is able to select the report, enter the parameters, view the report data, and even page through the report preview with no issues.  However, when the user attempts to print the report by clicking the print icon on the Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar, a blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up and remains indefinitely.
    The really puzzling thing about this issue is that for about 1/3 of our users, printing will work - a print dialog will appear, allowing the user to select a printer, and when the user clicks OK, the report will print.   For the other 2/3 of our users, the blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up.
    I have added the BO XI R2 server's address to trusted sites, adopted the lowest security settings for trusted sites, and enabled all activity I could think of in IE security settings (ActiveX controls-related).  I also ran the web site in compatibilitiy mode.
    Has anyone on this forum experienced this issue, and does anyone here know how to resolve it?
    Thank you,
    Bob Gardner

    I suspect that this behavior occurs because the client computer is unable to download ActiveX controls.
    The report viewer requires the PrintControl.dll to print reports from the client computer. The PrintControl.dll downloads automatically if it has not been previously downloaded on to the client computer, provided that the user that is currently logged on is able to download ActiveX controls.
    To enable the download of ActiveX controls on the client computer, perform the following steps:
    1) Open your Internet Explorer.
    2) From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
    3) In the Security tab, select the web content zone that corresponds to your web application.
    4) Click Custom Level.
    5) In the Security Settings dialog box, scroll down to find the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section.
    6) Select Enable or Prompt for the Download signed ActiveX controls item.
    7) The print dialog box will now appear successfully when clicking the print button in the report viewer.
    If the above does not help, try to troubleshoot this as follows:
    1) click the print button (this will cause a postback to the web page) and then cancel the print dialog. right-click in the web page and select "View Source".
    2) Search for the word "printcontrol.cab". This will show you where the application is trying to download the printcontrol from.
    Paste the URL into a browser.
    3) If you get prompted to "open or save to disk" the url is correct and there is a browser setting or possibly even a system policy preventing the download.
    4) If you get a "404 page not found" or a similar error message, investigate the URL.
    5) If the issue is on your local web server, see if it is possible to browse to the URL in IIS manager.

  • Need help viewing items in Lion Finder folder.

    Hello! I just recently migrated to a Mac with Lion and have a question regarding viewing files in the Finder window. I currently like sorting my folders using "Kind" then sorting by "Name", which works great for me except one problem. How do you have the Finder window "Show All" by default instead of having to click on the "Show All" everytime? See my example folder in the pic.
    Any help for a Mac noob would be greatly appreciated! Thank You in advance!

    Hi Peter
    This is a change in version 9.
    Adobe removed the previous choice in preferences, without asking customers.
    Many of us who used earlier versions don’t like it.
    If you feel the product is not what you reasonably expected, request a full refund or ask your credit card company for a refund and chargeback.

  • View windows in same style as previous?

    On my iMac that runs panther, i found a way to have the windows in the finder always stay in the same view mode based on whatever the previous folder's view mode was.
    now with my macbook I'd like to be able to do the same but I cannont recall how I managed to do it. Can anyone help?

    I'm posting on here because I made a thread with the exact same question. Meaning I have the same question. Hopefully another post will interest people in seeing this and if they have the answer, will respond. Respond people, please.

  • Specifying user-ID for gathering perfmon statistics from windows servers?

    When using OATS Load Testing to gather statistics from Windows servers (perfmon stats), the user-Id the Load Testing server is running under must be a member of the Performance Monitoring group on all the Windows servers I am trying to monitor. I have a standard user-ID I use for this kind of monitoring. It is automatically setup on all the servers in our enterprise. Where do I specify this user-ID and password in OATS Load Testing?
    The only reference I can find in the documentation says to change the user-ID and apassword in the Oracle Load Testing Agent Serivce. I don't think this is what I want. And, there is no service called "Oracle Load Testing Agent Service" installed on my server anyway.
    Thanks for the help!

    To gather any Server Stats (i.e. perfmon) data the OLT controller must communicate with a data collector process. The data collector process is olt-dc-java-agent.exe, which I recall is also kicked off by the Agent Manager Service (just like it does for the javaagent load agent process). I think you have configured the collecting of server stats data to be collected from a remote agent machine, which is fine, but you could configure SS to collect from the service running on the OLT (oats controller) machine.
    There is a reason why the DC processes can be separated from the OLT machine. If you testing and SS collecting in a single subnet environment, then it is fine to default your OLT/SS environment to use this single OLT AgentManagerService/DCollector configuration. Though, in the case where the servers you need to collect from are behind a firewall, you will need to install that AgentManagerService/DCollector combo on a machine behind the firewall, and also configure OLT/SS to talk to that 2nd data collector. A second example is when you are collecting so much data that the single data collector is stressed. So in that case simply creating a 2nd data collector machine will distribute the gathering of data.
    btw, you should consider not using your Network UserID/Pass for authenticating the agent manager service. Best practice is to ask your IT to create a special user/pass to handle the server stats needs. Then there is no conflict if you change your password in the future.

  • Messages appear on the RIGHT SIDE of viewer window- how to change to bottom

    I've got an iBookG4 and recently started using the Mail application (2.1). When I opened the program, the messages appear on the RIGHT SIDE of the viewer window, not on the bottom (as I'm used to from other email programs). I've tried all the Preferences, all the 'Window' options on the Mail application, but can't seem to find a way to get the messages to the bottom of the viewer window. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.....

    twodogmom,
    It appears to me as if you, or a previous user of your computer may have installed a third party plugin such as Letterbox.
    Uninstalling the plugin would result in Mail returning to the default appearance.

  • How to keep the Viewer window active during cutting and inserting to timeline?

    Greetings all, I'm a football coach looking to use FCP to do my film breakdowns.  Been learning as much as I can about FCP and I've done some trial runs, so far so good, though it's a bit slow going since I am a football coach after all .  Anyhow, current issue is I want to be able to take a game film and cut it up into plays, each play is a separate clip.  I'm getting it to go fairly quickly, I have the film open in the Viewer, just mark in and out and I've been dragging the clip down to the timeline, one after the other, using the insert option.  I'm now trying to use the F9 key to have it insert to timeline without me having to drag it.  It works except the problem is that once the clip is inserted to the timeline, the Canvas window becomes the active one rather than the Viewer.  So if I keep hitting 'I' and 'O' and F9, it won't be cutting up the film since the Viewer isn't active.  As it is now I'll need to remember to click the mouse in the Viewer window after each insert in order to have that active and be able to resume my I,O,F9 routine.  Is there a way around this?  It seems like a small issue but I can't find any support on it and it could end up being a massive headache where one little slip up means a lot of wasted time.  Am I explaining this clearly and does anyone have a solution?  Any other thoughts on football video editing that people are curious about or have seen that might be helpful?  I appreciate your time,
           Grouch

    Or a third way would be (if you only cut out small pieces of the overall footage):
    Drag the whole clip in to the timeline. Mark in and out for the parts that you DON'T want.
    Hit the Delete button (if you have an extended keyboard or Shift-Backspace, if you are using a Macbook (Pro).

  • Mac G5 10.4 connecting to Windows Server 2003 finder windows NOT refreshing

    We are not seeing finder contents refresh when connecting to Windows 2003 servers. We are running 10.4.5. This was supposedly "fixed" in 10.4 but we haven't seen it work yet. Who do we contact for support on this? I've tried using "Contextual Menu" which didn't work, and also tried "Finder Sync" which also didn't work. The only thing that did work was Path Finder. Path Finder did provide an auto-refresh but I don't like Path Finder and we won't buy it.
    Who do we contact at Apple about this? Or does anyone have any experience like this?
    Thanks very much!

    I have the same problem and I did public it in another forum.
    Someone told me to write an Applescript like this:
    tell application "Finder"
    tell front window
    update every item with necessity
    end tell
    end tell
    Copy it, open Script Editor and save it as an executable application in your Utilities folder. Now put shortcuts to it in your Dock or your Sidebar or whereever. When you run it, the front most windows in the Finder will be refreshed to its most current state from disk.
    I tried it but it doesn't help so much. I have no problem at all when I work with Windows Server 2000.

    Hi,
    Sounds bit strange to me, if you edit your window and do not want to save your changes then i would not expect this error. assuming that the component does not have activation problem.
    Just for making sure.
    I assume that your problem is on design time and not runtime.
    If it is a design time and problem still exists, try to delete this window, save ,activate and then recreate this window,embed your view(s).
    If it is runtime problem then i would suggest you to do debugging and find out where it is getting this error.

Maybe you are looking for
