Why can't I get my Mac to like the LDAP server?
On Monday I started hammering away at getting the LDAP server setup on the Linux server with openldap. I was able to get a test Mac running Leopard to see the LDAP server and the accounts. The next battle was to get home directories to mount under /home. I was about to do that after finding a working ldif example using automaster and autohome. After that I was able to get the Public share automatically mounted on /Network/Public. Wonderful!
Tuesday I came in thinking that the next battle would be with Samba. Unfortunately, somewhere in powering off the Mac and rebooting it, I lost all the share mounting! It still sees the accounts, but it absolutely will not see the mounts. In trying to figure it out I have wiped the LDAP database and restarted it, I have wiped the test Mac twice, I have made sure the Mac is running the latest updates, and still nothing.
If I go into dscl this is now what I see:
ls Automount/
Record Name Unknown
Record Name Unknown
ls AutomountMap/
Record Name Unknown
Record Name Unknown
cat Mounts/10.110.1.1:\/share\/public/
dsAttrTypeNative:cn: 10.110.1.1:/share/public
dsAttrTypeNative:objectClass: mount top
AppleMetaNodeLocation: /LDAPv3/10.110.1.1
RecordName: 10.110.1.1:/share/public
RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Mounts
On the LDAP server, the records look like:
dn: automountMapName=auto_master,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
automountMapName: auto_master
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
dn: automountKey=/home,automountMapName=auto_master,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
automountKey: /home
automountInformation: auto_home
dn: automountMapName=auto_home,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
automountMapName: auto_home
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
dn: automountKey=*,automountMapName=auto_home,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
automountKey: *
automountInformation: 10.110.1.1:/home/&
dn: cn=10.110.1.1:/share/public,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
mountDirectory: /Network/Public
objectClass: mount
objectClass: top
mountType: nfs
cn: 10.110.1.1:/share/public
It looks like for some reason it's either missing entries from the LDAP server, and/or it's ignoring some of the mapping and leaving them out. The Mounts entry is missing the VFSLinkDir which maps to mountDirectory. The Automount stuff is missing the RecordName which maps to automountKey and automountMapName.
What the heck happened? Why does the Mac refuse to see the LDAP server the way it did on Monday?
I am having something similar going on and can't sort out what it is doing:
ldiffs:
dn: automountMapName=auto_master,dc=example,dc=edu
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
automountMapName: auto_master
dn: automountKey=/foo,automountMapName=auto_master,ou=Mounts,dc=soe,dc=ucsc,
dc=edu
objectClass: automount
automountKey: /foo
automountInformation: auto.foo,dc=example,dc=edu -rw,resvport,
hard,intr,nosuid,tcp
Second one:
dn: automountMapName=auto.foo,dc=example,dc=edu
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
automountMapName: auto.foo
dn: automountKey=tstaff,automountMapName=auto.foo,dc=example,dc=edu
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: fileserver:/export/foo/tstaff
automountKey: tstaff

9/25/09 11:45:25 AM automountd[1101] ds_search failed
exiting ...
It seems like it can't find the trigger point tstaff. It is looking for:
ds_match: Searching for tstaff,automountMapName=auto.foo,dc=example,dc=edu
which isn't what the DN is in ldap:
Distinguished Name: automountKey=tstaff,automountMapName=auto.foo,dc=example,dc=edu
any thoughts?
regards,
Derek

Why can't we get Adobe Photoshop help on the weekends. If I buy it I should be able to use it.
Why can't we get Adobe Photoshop help on the weekends. If I buy it I should be able to use it.
To all frustrated Photoshop users:
As has been pointed out, the Adobe Photoshop Forum is NOT staffed by Adobe employees (though a few engineers DO stop by, when they have the time), and we are but users, such as yourself. The difference is that many users here have decades of experience with Ps, and can often solve all sorts of issues, of a technical nature.
Ranting, and listing bad experiences with Adobe Technical Support (or Customer Support), will NOT reach Adobe - just other users, who might have also had negative experiences with Adobe T/S, but who are powerless to change anything, at a corporate level - also noted by others in this thread.
We, as users, have no access to any communications that you might have had with T/S - no phone logs, no case numbers, nothing. All that we have is what YOU provide us, regarding YOUR problem. In that vein, if you read this FAQ Entry, plus the one linked in Station_Two's Reply above, and clearly state YOUR problem with the program, someone will attempt to help you with it: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4587299#4587299
Please be patient, as we are all volunteers (even the Adobe engineers come here on their own time - it's most likely not part of their job descriptions), and drop by the forum, when we have a moment. Many users DO have "day jobs," and face client deadlines. They might not get by that often, and then with breaks in timing, that can extend for days. This is not a "live chat room," where "operators are standing by." However, with the number of contributing users here, it should not take too long, before someone DOES reply to your post. If they have questions, please answer them, to the best of your abilities, and do not hesitate to ask for clarifications, if you are not sure what they are asking, or where to obtain that information. Also, please be courteous, when replying to the users, who are donating their time - they get zero, beyond the satisfaction of helping other users get answers and solutions. If they DO help, which is likely, a simple "thank you," is the best that they can receive. If they DO help, please take a moment to let them know, and also use the "Correct," and "Helpful" buttons in the forum, to let Adobe Corporate know that you got help in the Adobe Forums - they DO count those numbers, though they do not monitor these forums.
Good luck, and many feel that the help FROM the Adobe products forums, is much better, than from Adobe Technical Support.

Why can't I get all my contacts onto the iCloud?
Why can't I get all my contacts onto the iCloud?
What I used to copy my contacts from my 1st gen iPod touch to my new 5th gen iPod touch was a piece of software called Syncios. Just download and install Syncios (www.syncios.com), which is totally 100% FREE. When you connect your iPad to your computer via the included cable it'll give you a Warning about you can't have iTunes running. On the Syncios website it'll give you all of the info on how to back up your contacts. When you connect your 5th gen iPod touch to your computer just click on the Recover button then the file name of the contact back up. Hope this helps you and it helped me a lot. I backed up both my contacts and notes using the same software.

How do I get Lightroom to connect to the internet? I've tested my internet connection and I'm able to.
Sure, but if I have International League Pass shouldn't there be a way to tap into that? I mean, if I can watch it on my computer, why can't I conveniently watch it on the television sitting right next to it via Apple TV. Seems odd...

This morning I updated to iTunes 10.4. and also updated Pages on my MacBook (SL 10.6.8) to version 4.1. My iDevices are all recognized in iTunes and all is going fine except for this one thing. I created a Pages document on my Mac and I sent it to my iPad using file sharing with iTunes. I edited and finished the document on the iPad and then used the "send to iTunes" feature and prepared to sync back to my Mac. The document appears to transfer over - and I have tried sending it over again and again - but it never appears in the file sharing Pages documents window after I sync. When I try to send it from the iPad again, the device tells me that the document already exists and asks if I want to replace it, so it must be transferring somehow but I don't see it in the window.
This only started after I updated both applications. I've been using Pages and file sharing without any issues at all until now. The really ironic thing is that I can create a Word document on my Mac, send it to the iPad, edit it there and send it back to iTunes and it appears in the window like you would expect - but my Pages documents do not. Word documents work fine but not Pages documents? Documents created on the iPad seem to be going back and forth fine but not Mac created files.
I've tried everything I can think of, restarting disconnecting the iPad reconnecting the iPad, hard reset .... Any ideas? Is there something that I am missing? Anybody else experience this?Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV). -
Why can't I get safety/speed cameras for the X6?
I'm using Ovi Maps on my new X6 but don't understand why I can't get the ovi maps with safety cameras included.
Any ideas?Hi family_guy
No clues as to your whereabouts in the world for starters so as to know if even available to you.
Say for example you have downloaded maps for UK to device, OVI Maps is set to "Online", Safety spot warner is set to "On" or "Only visual" then 1.0.032.europe.cdt should be downloaded to E:\CITIES\diskcache\safetyspots
Please note that icons are only visible whilst navigation but if you go to Drive > Map and pan around they can be visualized.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0 -
Why can't I get my ip4 2 recognize the new computer name?
Why am i unable to Wi Fi sync with iTunes after I have connected to iTunes on my computer using a cable, clicking "Sync with the iPhone over Wi Fi? When I click "Sync Now, my IP4 states, "It will resume when "computer a" is available. My computer's name is no longer "a" it is "computer c."
Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
When you're swapping out chargers, make sure you're using an iPad charger. It is different from an iPhone one (iPhone chargers put out about half the power)
Charging via USB will likley tell you that it's not charging because most USB's put out a fraction of the power that the iPad wants, so it says not charging.
ALso try different outlets and cables if you have them
If you go through all that and still can't get it to charge then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it. -
Why can I not get my windows to fit the screen
I am not sure what happened today, but in Safari the window does not fit the screen on my Mac Book Pro, even when you click the green + button. What should I do to rectify. I have done a full Shutdown, and still the same.
One other thing that might be handy:
You can set the default Safari window size as follows. Open a new window (command-n). Resize. Close window. Subsequent windows should open at that same size.

The My Verizon service has been down for over 24 hours now. People are not able to activate their phones or pay their bills. What is the cause of this outage and what is to be done about the fees people will inevitably incur?
Call Corp @ 212-395-1000 . They havent the foggiest idea whats going on. All they know is somethings wrong... NO idea when it will be fixed... everybody needs to call and complain. Then maybe they will get it fixed.

G5 disk crash, why can't I get OS 10.5 from the Apple store?
My G5 internal disk crashed, so i bought a new disk to replace it, but could find neither my 10.4 or 10.5 disks, never thought i would need them. Strange that the Apple store no longer offers 10.5, as that's what's needed for a G5, as we all know, 10.6 only works with intel. Do I really need to buy used ones on ebay for $150+?
Phone Apple and ask for a product specialist.

Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini? The network uses a Time Capsule. Everything works when connecting from the Mini to the Air, but the reverse is not the case, none of the Mini's drives are visible, and the screen sharing option is not available. I've tried the measures already suggested in online articles, everything seems to be configured correctly using my iCloud account. I'm at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.
I've now managed to get the service running in both directions, but not in the way I had anticipated. I had to create a second account on the Mac Book Air, this also has administrator privilages, everything works fine when connecting from this acccount. However, this is not the way I would expect to work, none of my documents, applications and settings would be available, unless I laboriously duplicated them to the new account.
Also, I've yet to get the service running from outside my home network. -
I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor. The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)? I know that the monitor is able to accept this resolution but It can't seem to find it. Is it something to do with the new thunderbolt port? or the fact that I'm utilizing the VGA adaptor? I could go HDMI if that works better.
Use DVI or HDMI.
VGA runs out of steam after a while. -

Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3. It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac. I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?
I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.
