Why Apple/MAC does not offer server mounting application?

I am very disappointed to see that MAC /Apple does not offer simple server mounting application.
It is a  very basic facility provided in Linux. I am forced to use third party stuff like OSXFuse which still is not a permanent solution.
Hope someone at Apple could fix it.

I do not understand your question.  Do you want to mount file servers that DO NOT support CIFS/SMB or Apple Filing Protocol (AFP)?
Or do you want to mount file system formats not supported by Mac OS X (ext[234], btrfs, ZFS, etc...)?
Can you please clarify your question.
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server... will allow connecting to file servers via CIFS/SMB or AFP protocols.
Mac OS X will try to mount any directly attached file system (HFS+, NTFS (readonly), FAT, FAT32, exFAT).
What are you trying to mount?
NOTE:  No one in Mac OS X software development visits here.  This is a User-to-User forum.  You can send your feedback to:
<http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>
You will not get a reply, but it will be read by someone inside Apple.  I suggest you provide more details on what you desire, as they will not start a dialog with you as I'm trying to do.

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

  • Why apple tv does not sell in hong kong?

    Why apple tv does not sell in hong kong?

    appletv's only sell in countries where itunes have rights to sell movies and tvshows
    so if your kong kong itunes store dont sell such data they don't sell the appletv
    likely because they sell them at a price where they lose money but depend on rental and buying of media
    to earn back those lost money but they can only do that if they have rights to sell and rent media in the place

    why apple tv does not show in itune?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you have the Apple TV 1.
    Often a restart of ALL your equipment will help, it may also be a result of instaling or updating security software (check your security settings).
    If problems persist, navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

    I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

  • Why when I try to login the Itunes Connect with my Apple ID it always says: "Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect."?

    Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.

  • Lync 2010 client does not offer any NON-direct UDP Candidates in its SIP Invite' SDP - why?

    Hello.
    We have a customer, experiencing the following issue.
    They have big multi-continental Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition deployment, with non-NAT'ted Edge Pool.
    The call scenario is simple: peer-to-peer video (A/V) call between external Lync client and Video system, Cisco VCS
    in this case but does not matter, which (video system) only supports media over UDP (which is nothing strange). The VCS has a lot of video endpoints all over the Globe, Lync clients are also everywhere, so call can be any "distance", not predictable.
    All video endpoints are registered on this single VCS.
    The video call, as I suspect, only succeeds IF direct peer-to-peer UDP connection works and fails otherwise.
    I skip the overall design, keeping here only what is relevant.
    Video system offers only its own local IP as UDP candidate (type = host), which in this particular
    case is expected, let's assume there is no TURN etc expected on video system' side, it is directly Internet-facing.
    Now the main bit. Lync client offers ALL proper TCP candidates: both local AND non-local, using external
    public IP addresses of both A/V Edge Hardware LoadBalancer VIP and public IP address of one of Edge servers.
    Those candidates are enlisted perfectly fine (I checked carefully), so SIP INVITE has them all offered.
    Now: the Lync 2010 client ONLY offers direct/local UDP candidate (type = host) with its own IP address,
    but does NOT offer any NON-local UDP Candidates at all (while, again, for TCP candidates the full set of non-local (A/V Edge) ones is offered).
    WHY this can happen?
    Again my guess on where to dig is: TCP candidates (which are completely useless for such video call)
    are all offered fine with A/V Edge's public IPs, both VIP and particular node ones. Does this fact make sense?
    WHAT can be the reason why the same or similar remote/Edge Candidates are not being
    offered/enlisted for UDP while for TCP they are offered?
    What I already found, to be excluded easily: the whole client sign-in and in-band provisioning is OK, all about
    certificates is Ok, and all about MRAS URI and MRAS Credentials (looking sign-in traces) is also fine. Client gets proper MRAS username/password and ALL about signaling before SDP is also fine (no TLS or MRAS related errors).
    I cannot rule-out potential DNS issues at the moment, however unlikely: otherwise how it would get proper list
    of NON-local TCP candidates and all SIP signalling with the Edge working Ok if it would be DNS-specific issue?
    What, however, I have not confirmed is: UDP port 3478 is most likely NOT opened on/between all of the involved parties (Edge's private and public interfaces, Hardware LoadBalancer's interfaces and client),
    and/or UDP 3478 communication is most likely getting blocked completely (when the client is external), however for instance TCP 443 is everywhere opened.
    Can THIS be somehow related to why it properly allocates non-local TCP but none of
    non-local UDP Candidates?
    What traces show on call negotiation is ICE Connectivity Failed and/or ICE Warning - I have real it carefully, did WireShark'ing, what I suspect is: simply ICE Connectivity Checks fails on direct P2P UDP which is of course expected, and because no non-local
    UDP candidates are offered and TCP is not allowed on video system' side - it fails. WireShark shows the following: millions of outgoing UDP from the client to Cisco VCS and not even one INcoming UDP back from VCS.
    Sometimes, depending on the external client's location, call, however, succeeds. I guess (guess)
    this is because SOMETIMES direct UDP flows Ok, while in vast majority of the cases it expectedly does not.
    Big thanks.

    Hi,
    If the machine is brand new I don't see why the serial Number is missing (it is entered on to a special chip at the factory)
    However if the machine is a return and has been refurbished then the Logic/mother board may have been changed and someone forgot to put the info back to the new board.

  • I have created an extensive slideshow w/music on my MacBook Pro iPhoto. How do I export a slideshow so that I can burn a DVD from it? "Help" does not offer info for this request, only if you want to export to another Apple device.   Help!!!

    I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto.   What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow?     "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes.  Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD?  I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device.  I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift......    Can it be done?   I'm not real computer savvy

    Connect the device to the computer.
    In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

    Hi Mick2291,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I'd suggest restarting, and then restoring, your Apple TV if the issue persists:

  • HT203983 my apple id does not accept my payment method. why? i am using that same visa card the last 5 years!

    my apple id does not accept my payment method. why? i am using that same visa card the last 5 years!

    there may be several reasons why your credit card may be declined by the iTunes store ,
    the reason the iTunes store require c.card when you setup your apple id is for verification purposes
    if you have called the iTunes store in the past about unrecognised charges, or unauthorised activity ,
    then your bank may have blocked your card from being used on the iTunes store, i would recommend contacting your banking institute
