WRT610N - Samba Storage Problem with Mac OS X Leopard

Hello there,
I've set up a USB drive to be shared via the router (tried both a fat32 and an NTFS drive). When I login from a windows machine I can use the share point without any problems. When I try to use it from a Mac (mounted via smb://192.168.1.1/sharepoint) I can access the folders and download files. I can even create folders. When I try to copy a file onto the share point (normal file name, small file size) I get an error saying "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." The console log says: "7/3/09 1:01:06 AM kernel smbfs_composeacl: smbfs_setattr 13, ignored "
If I try to copy the file directly via a terminal window I see this:
Macintosh-3:tc user $ cp ~/test.plist ./
cp: ./test.plist: fchmod failed: Permission denied
As I see it there is a problem with leopard trying to set permissions when copying and the router refusing. Any ideas of how to get this to work? 

I found this solution in another link on this web site, I would be curious to know if this works with NTFS also.
 Routers and Access Points : Wireless Routers : WRT610 USB Harddisk and Mac osx 10.5 Finally, i got it to work.
 Here is my step. 
1. Format the external HD with mac with the fat format.
2. plug in the HD to the router.
3. In the storage setting>Administration, create a group named "root" with r/w permission and a user "root" with the group "root. Save the setting.
4. Last, create a share on the drive. Assign the group "root" to it. 
Boom! Its work now. I can use it with time machine and  share my itune library. Hope this can help someone stuck with this issue.

  • Monitor problems with Mac Pro and Leopard

    I can't turn energy saver off.I have two LCD monitors connected, one 19" Viewsonic VX924 and one 30" Dell3007WFPHC . I set energy saver:Put the display(s) to sleep when computer is inactive for Never.
    Yet I can turn the monitors off and back on later and it's put the Viewsonic to sleep ,but not the Dell.
    I then open the energy saver system preferences again and low and behold it's changed itself back to sleep at 26 minutes.Ghost in the machine?Why doesn't it put the Dell to sleep as well?????Why does it keep changing back to 26 minutes regardless of how many times I set it to never and lock it?
    I even tried just using the Viewsonic only and setting to never,I also trashed a pref file I thought was energy saver , still same behavior, this is a REALLY big hassle ,because I have to restart every time just to get this monitor back up.
    Any clues?
    Many thanks!

    I think there are some powermanagement prefs in your account and in /Library but I also read of problems with ViewSonic VX back when the Mac Pro came out in 9/06.
    I would give the SMC button a good 'kick' and see if that helps.
    And when you restart, this is normal safe restart, or forced?
    SMC button, this is restart button on the inside of the mac?
    It's always a safe restart,the whole computer doesn't go down, it's just the viewsonic power light blinks on and off and there is not much I can do to get back up quickly, but restart. I have played with display settings and got it back before, but that's hit or miss and very time consuming.
    Thanks you so so much for your help and suggestions!

    Problems with Mac OSX 10.5.2 and installing my pro tools le 7.1.1.

    Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
    Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
    Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
    Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

  • AD account Login problem with MAC 10.6.8

    Hi All,
    We have around 50 odd MAC that are connected to windows server 2008 R2. the user were logining in to these MACs using their AD account. Recently few of the random MAC did not allow the user to login using their AD account.When analyzed though the MAC shows that it has connected to the Domain and the server is active with green button it has unbind itself from the server.I had to login in as local user bind the MAC back to get this resolved.
    Now the same has started happeneing for most of the MAC that we have and every morning I have login as local Admin and unbind / bind the MAC with the server. this gets reset once the user reboots or shutsdown.
    Have tried with few of the below solution but nothing helped:
    Solution 1:
    <key>mdns_timeout</key>
    <integer>2</integer>
    The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required.
    You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line:
    sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
    Solution 2:
    I have seen all of the probable solutions and tried everything and still I am getting issues with 10.6.6 and after rebooting the Mac gets unbind. Or the Mac gets Network Accounts Available even when not accessing the list of users from AD. But the thing that I have done that has solved all my issues with AD on the Macs is to uncheck the box to search on all domains. For some reason I am seeing that when the Macs have this option checked, it searches through out the forest on the same domain controller more than once, so AD stops the handshaking of the authentication.
    I hope this helps like it did on our Network, since then I have not seen the Macs lose the binding or slow SMB.
    If you've tried this please let us know.
    TIP: Uncheck Allow Authentication from any domain for Mac AD problems
    Wednesday, April 20, 2011
    Steven Wells sent a fix and an explanation of problems with Macs losing their binding to Active Diretory:
    Unchecking "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest" is working at our college. We have been beating our heads on this for about 2 terms, with no understanding of why it works in some places and not in others. When we found this working, our IT guy said that the Security SID is being duplicated, when it looks in other domain forest, and that is what is causing the problem. This is the first time I have found an explanation for the problem.
    If you've tried this approach please let us know.
    Solution 3:
    Solved it. Create a file in Textedit with the name 'auto_master' (no file extension) with the following contents:
    # Automounter master map
    +auto_master # Use directory service
    /net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
    /home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
    #/Network/Servers -fstab
    /- -static
    Place this in /etc/ folder

    TIP: a Kerberos fix for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 binding to Active directory
    Friday, November 11, 2011
    Mehdi Mafi forwarded a fix he found for problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard binding to Active Directory:
    This was taken from Dane Riley's imaging building for DeployStudio.
    With Mac OS X Leopard every Mac is now running a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center). Basically each imaged machine is using the same security certificate and hash. Deploying a single image will deploy the same KDC to every system. This [Apple] article covers how to reset the local KDC so that each system is unique. Basically, do the following:
    Launch Keychain Access
    Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
    Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
    After deployment, perhaps using Apple Remote Desktop to all systems, re- establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
    If you've tried this approach with Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or even Lion, please let us know. .
    TIP: More on a kerberos fix for AD binding problems
    Monday, November 14, 2011
    Mehdi Mafi updated his Friday report about Mac OS X 10.6 problems binding to Active Directory:
    You may want to add this. If the Mac keeps unbinding from AD (people can't log in to a Mac), here is how to fix it:
    Unbind it from Domain
    Launch Keychain Access
    Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
    Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
    Re-establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
    Bind it to domain again ( When you bind, uncheck allow authentication from any domain in the forest in: Directory Utilitiy-> Advanced Options\Administrative ) this fix the issue that sometimes it can' find AD under search space.
    If you tried this please let us know.
    Solution 5:
    For Snow Leopard AD login issues, use upper case domain
    Solution 6: for .local
    To create this StartupItem, create the following directory as root:
    /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth
    Then chown it to root:wheel and chmod it to 755. These must also be the owner/permissions on the two files it will contain, below:
    Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/FixADAuth:
    #!/bin/bash
    . /etc/rc.common
    date > /var/log/FixADAuth.log
    n=0
    AuthSuccess=0
    while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
    do
    id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local; n=$(($n+1))
    done
    echo Authentication successful: $AuthSuccess >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log echo Operation count: $n >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
    date >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
    Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/StartupParameters.plist:
    Description = "Fixes Active Directory authentication issue";
    Uses = ("Disks");
    Obviously you'll need to change "middlewich.local" to your own domain name (and the network interface name if your connection is wireless). The script checks to see if it can see the user "Administrator" on the domain, as he's a fairly common bloke, but if you've renamed yours for security reasons then pick another one. I've also included some logging functionality for debug purposes, so you can verify how well the script is working if you need to and time it in your environment before telling the users how long to wait. The /var/log/FixADAuth.log file will contain the date/time the process started, the success variable set to 1 (just to verify), how many DNS operations were required to fix the problem, and the date/time it ended. For us the time difference is normally about +30-40 seconds with around 120-180 operations taking place. Once you're happy with the script, you can strip it down to its bare functionality if you like, like so for us:
    #!/bin/bash
    . /etc/rc.common
    AuthSuccess=0
    while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
    do
    id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local
    done
    I hope this helps someone!

  • Email Problem with Mac

    Hi, I am new to FIOS so I hope this is the proper board to post in.  I set up 2 subaccounts for verizon.net email and configured them for my Mac Mail program. Everything worked well for about 2 days, and all of a sudden the Mail program keeps asking for my password (even though it was saved in my Mail settings) and says the the incoming mail server is offline.  I've Googled this issue and see that others have posted about the same authentication error. Has anyone else here experienced - and solved - this problem? Thanks. 

    I am having the same problems with Mac eMail.  I have two Macs, one that is running Lion and the other is running Snow Leopard.  I have spent days on the phone with Apple and Verizon and they are blaming each other and neither have a solution.  Have you been able to get a response?  It looks like this is something that happens from time to time but never really gets fixed.
    Please let me know if there has been a fix since the Mac Mail update in July?  With the Union Issues Verizon doesn't have enough people to address the issues both in person ( I had a tech come to the house and he didn't know anything about software ) or on the phone.  They keep kicking it back to Apple.  I also have a couple iPhones and both are working fine. So this seems to be OS X specific.  I've had Macs and iPhones for 3 years or more. 
    Just makes me think something was done to the mail servers they didn't get correct.

  • Problem with Mac Office Password Protection

    I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5 with MS Word for Mac 12.3.5 and MS Excel for Mac 12.3.5. 
    I created a Word (.docx) and an Excel (.xlsx) document on my Mac at home, both with password protection.  I uploaded the documents onto Google Drive.  I was able to open the documents a few times with the password on my Mac at home, and on my PC at work.  However, now upon opening the docs, Word and Excel say the password is incorrect (both home MAC and work PC). 
    I know I'm entering the correct password. I'm 100% positive. I was able to open the docs a few times previously just a day before.  Now they're completely inaccessible. My questions are:
    (1) Is this a common problem with Mac for Word/Excel docs?  
    (2) Are there ways to recover the password (a dictionary based brute force solution is unlikely to work, as I use non-word passwords with numbers)?
    (3) If this is a common problem, are there other alternatives to password protecting or encrypting Mac for Word and Excel docs that don't cause problems?
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.  Thanks. 

    Could just be thats the way it runs on Rosetta. I called in apple to ask if I could return office '04 because I didn't want to take the chance, they were more than eager to return it for me because of the fact it would be slow/maybe have problems running in Rosetta.
    I just got iWorks instead till the universal version of office comes out (which if you buy office '04 you'll have to buy the new universal version as well, or so the rep told me).

  • Problems with "Mac Help"

    My help files, especially "Mac Help", no longer work properly since upgrading to Tiger. If I open "Mac Help", for example, the help window will pop up, but the links will not work (nothing happens when I click on them) and the search feature in help will not work either (the little gray "clock" just spins next to the help bar and nothing else ever happens). Any suggestions on this one? As I'm a relatively recent Mac convert, the help feature was something that I came to rely on. Thanks!

    Hi CP,
    This is a common problem with Mac Help. When it happens, try first (quit Help) deleting this folder:
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui
    If Help still doesn't work, try then deleting those files:
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
    (and this one if you find it):
    Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
    See also this KB article for more info
    - Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: Mac Help Viewer unexpectedly quits
    and this excellent X Lab FAQ

    It seems (not sure about that), that Help caches get easily corrupted when interrupting searches instead of patiently waiting for its internet accessings etc?
    Good luck!

  • Thawte Personal Email Cert - Problem with Mac Mail

    Hi, I have requested a free cert from Thawte and there seems to be a problem with Mac Mail (using 2.0.7).
    I am using Entourage to send a signed message from [email protected] to [email protected]
    If I check mail for [email protected]
    Mac Mail reports "There was a problem reading the digital signature for this message"
    If I check the same account with Thunderbird, everything works fine.
    Anyone else having or had problems?
    -chris

    Hi,
    Thanks for the responses. I requested another cert and that did not help. Here is the process I used after requesting another cert.
    1. Logged into www.thawte.com and requested a new cert.
    2. Using Firefox, retrieved the cert.
    3. In Firefox, backed up the cert to a pkcs12 file.
    4. Opened Keychain and deleted the first cert.
    5. Imported the pkcs12 backup file. Imported fine.
    6. Open Entourage, under tools, accounts, exchange profile, security, selected the cert Thawte Freemail Member.
    7. Checked all 3 options (sign, include cert, clear test signed.
    8. Created a test message from Entourage to .mac account address.
    9. Checked mail with Mac Mail and signature fails.
    10. Check with 1.02 Thunderbird and it comes back with valid digital signature.
    Next, I sent a test email to my Exchange account from Entourage and that message verifies fine. It just seems to not work when I check my email with Mac Mail.
    Thanks!

  • Having problem with dead key in Leopard

    Hello. I'm having problem with dead key in Leopard.
    In Tiger it was working, but in Leopard dead key "'" doesn't work.
    In Tiger I could use OPTION key as well to get Latvian special characters (both worked - OPTION Key and dead-key), but in LEOPARD OPTION key is the only possibility to get these characters.
    How can I get dead key "'" working?
    I'm using Latvian language with Latvian keyboard layout.
    Here are images how it looked in Tiger:
    1) Before dead key is pressed:
    http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/1.tiff
    2) After dead key is pressed:
    http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/2.tiff

    ok, i got answer
    so - first problem was that ukelele didn't work in leopard (it wasn't possible to start new layout), but it was possible to edit Tom Gewecke posted layout.
    There it is possible to change every thing (dead-key as well).
    So I edited it and now i have layout where dead-key works -
    http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/LatvianT.keylayout
    Just do what Tom Gewecke said with this layout. It should work!

  • I have an iMac Intel  2 Duo with Mac 0SX Snow Leopard downloaded.  Can I upgrade to the new mountain lion

    I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed.  Would it be ok to download the new Mountain Lion?

    Your iMac needs to be a mid-2007 or newer model. See this page for specs supported, and assuming you meet them, you can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (see step 2 on the linked page).

  • Incompatibility problems with mac mini MA206LL/A* and linksys WRT610N

    i purchased a new wrt610n and one of the machines that is connected is a mac mini, 1.66 ghz intel core duo.
    #ma2066/ll/a for those who want to compare notes. the computer is stock with the 802.11g wireless card that came with the machine. it is running the current software and all the updates are up to date.
    i am using wpa 2 personal w / aes
    their is some kind of incompatibility or issue between the wrt610n and the mac mini.
    either using the wireless connection OR connected directly to the router, web pages are very slow to load. sometimes it can take up to 45 seconds for the mac mini to open up a webpage. for 45 seconds it is at 'contacting website'
    when i try to run software update, i get a time out error -1001, make sure you can connect to the internet and try again.
    hulu desktop is also running slow.
    copying a file from the mac mini to a another computer over wifi averages about 1 mb/s
    when i informed linksys about this problem, they took my phone number and said that a linksys Technician / senior tech support employee would call me back. that was a day or so ago. i asked if i can have any newer firmware, considering the latest is 5 months old.
    i am considering returning this router, but i don't see a lot of good alternatives that have similar features. i have 21 days to return this. the restocking fee will be 15% i am also considering various 802.11n solutions for the mac mini, even including the dell 1500 wireless mini card, i heard it works as an airport card.
    if i do get a different model router i would like external antennas.
    my previous router was a 5 year old wrt54gs version 2.0, and it never had a problem with any of the computers with the network.
    the trouble shooting steps involved changing the beacon to 75 and the mtu to something else, i forgot. it did not make a difference.
    i moved the mini and connected it wired to the wrt610 and turned off the airport wireless card and there was no improvement.
    when i disconnected the wrt610n and connected the mac mini directly to my dsl modem. the issues were suddenly gone.
    theres some kind of problem with this particular unit. and i would like to hear from others who have solved this or are experiencing the same problem

    Just out of curiosity: what internet provider do you have? I'm just asking since I had similar issues after switching from AT&T DSL to AT&T U-verse. Sometimes pages took a very long time to load, or just a part or image of the page. Sometimes I would get a page not found error or something like this and only refreshing the page several times would retrieve and display the actual page.
    Here's what I did: I went into my iMac's network preferences and switched the DNS server IP with one from OpenDNS.com, such as 208.67.222.222.
    Since then I haven't had these issues anymore. Don't ask me why though; but I would be curious to hear whether this may fix your issue as well!
