XP connecting to 10.6 shared folder via SMB.

Hi,
I am having a problem with XP connecting via SMB to a 10.6 folder.
The connection starts normally but the next day when I'm back in the office I usually need to restart the mac computer before the XP machines can connect to the shared folder.
This is very frustrating.
Anyone has some suggestions?
Tks
Ben

Make sure the time servers in both the PC & the Mac are are the same time server. Try to use a third party time server.

Can no longer connect to shared folder via Samba (10.5.8)

I used to be able to connect to shared folders on my leopard (10.5.8) PPC machine via Samba.
Now, when I choose "Go to Folder..." from another machine and enter the correct URL (smb://192.168.0.XXX), I get a list of all the volumes and users, including public folders of some users, but the share point (shared folder) I defined does not appear.
I tried moving that folder around (it was in /Users/Shared/, then I put it at root / ), removing and re-adding, turning file sharing and samba off and on multiple times, and restarting the computer.
Nada.
Any ideas?

It seems I resolved this by changing the name of the folder I wanted to share, and adding that. No idea why it didn't like the previous name, but that seems to have worked around whatever the issue may have been.

Afp sharing bug with static IP ? cannot connect to shared folder via wireless router

Does anyone ever try this ?
i got 2 macs (imac snow leopard 6.6 and macbookpro leopard 10.5.8). connect to a wireless router using UTP cable and set using static ip , connection is ok, ping is ok, ftp between two mac is ok, browse the internet is ok. But i got on problem , i can't connect to shared folder. Error : 'connection failed' . i can see the other mac's icon on the shared section in finder, but i can't connect to it. The problem is fixed if --> The only way i can connect to shared folder is if i changed the ip from static to dhcp. Or if i want to keep my static ip, i have to connect mac to mac (using crosscable or airport) without the router , then the sharing folder will work fine. Anyone got similar problem? The problem only happen while sharing using afp and smb method. I have no problem with ftp, ftp sharing is working perfectly in any situation above.
My conclussion : afp sharing is having problem when apply with static IP and connected to router (or wireless router only ??) is this an afp bug on snow ?
Any idea ?
Thanx

I did pay the 12 dollars, but I think the program remembers with the free one. If you didn't ever have to do port forwarding in the past, then you likely won't have to do it again. I couldn't get modern warfare to play properly without it. But your situation might be different.
If you had it in the DMZ, then that is a work around to doing port forwarding, so that will still work for you as it did before, and if you reset it properly, then yes you will have to put the ps3 back in the dmz.
just keep in mind if you changed your WiFI SSID or Password, it will reset to the default, and the default is found on your sticker that is on your router.

What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder via a scheduled job?

What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder, when the export process is a scheduled job?

You can't directly, as scheduled jobs can only export to server-side data stores, which can only write to the landing area. You'll need to use an external script (e.g. batch file) to move the file from the landingarea after export. You can use an external task in the scheduled job to invoke the script.

Connecting to Win 7 Shared folder using Windows credentials (not as Guest)

we are trying to get my macbookpro hooked up to my mac pro windows 7 boot camp installation and are can only do this as Guest.
is there a way to login with a password?
TIA

When you reset, was it just a power cycle or a true factory reset?
The extreme will create it's own wifi network right after a factory reset. If you still dont' see it, that could be because it's too weak. In that case, connect an ethernet from the extreme directly to your computer. That will see it.

Using Shared Review via Network Folder on Windows server and PC and Mac users commenting

We are having initiation and connection problems on the Macs (running OS 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) with Shared Reviews (from Acrobat 9) that are stored on a Windows 2008 Server connecting via SMB. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who is successfully:
1) Initiating Shared Reviews from a Macintosh via "Automatically collect comments on my own internal server" and navigating to a folder (with full read/write permissions for all) on a Windows server. We cannot get Acrobat (via the automated SR set-up wizard) to verify the network folder location on the Macs so that a Mac user can initiate a Shared Review. On Windows (using Parallels or logging in to a PC directly), the same users have no problem initiating and accessing Shared Reviews.
2) Accessing Shared Reviews on a network folder (set up on a Windows 2008 server) via a Mac running OSX 10.6.4 and Acrobat 9. All users have read/write access to the folder and can navigate to it via the server. They can save documents to the network folder and open other documents there as well. When they open a Shared Review-enabled PDF for commenting, they get the error message that Acrobat cannot connect to the server. Retry results in the same error message.
We use Shared Reviews extensively and have no problems with PC users accessing the files and Mac users accessing them via Windows (Parallels or on a PC). This is very frustrating so I would really appreciate any ideas, especially if anyone is actually doing Shared Reviews this way.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is NOT fixed based on the testing I have done.
1) I am still unable to connect to the network folder on a Windows server from the Mac to initiate a Shared Review In Acrobat version 9.4.6. Same error message as previous Unable to locate server. See screenshot:
2) One of the Mac users (also upgraded to Acrobat 9.4.6) who was invited to participate in a Shared Review (initiated using Parallels/Windows) was initially able to open the file and Publish comments. However, after she did and closed the file, she was unable to reopen the same file, connect to the server and add comments. And no other Mac user could access the file after she added her first comments. We all got the error message "Unable to connect etc" See screenshot.
3) I opened the same file in Parallels/Windows with no problem. However, the Mac user's comments were not there. I could add comments and publish in Windows.
4) When I tried to access the Tracker from my Mac (review was initiated via Parallels), I got the error message File not Found when I tried to access the test review via my Mac (see screenshot).
Could you give me more information about the fix? I would also be happy to talk to you or send more details if that would help.
Our set up has not changed from the original information I sent (there may have been some Mac updates -- we are all on OS 10.6.8 but still Snow Leopard). Server has not changed.

Connecting to A Windows XP Shared Folder

I looked around and I must not be good at searching because this seems like it had to have been asked before. so my apologies up front if it was.
We recently moved and I lost my shared folder connection from my Mac to my windows xp machine and I haven't been able to reset it. I found articles describing how to connect, but I keep getting an error.
http://www.mac-connect.com/winfrommac.php
When I do that, my mac can not find my pc on the network whether I browse, use ip address or computer name. It looks for a while and then I get an error message that says "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in smb://ip address could not be read or written. (Error Code - 36).
I have disabled all firewalls I know about and set up the "My Documents" folder to share. But I still can not figure it out. I have Windows OS X (10.4.1).

Hi
I feel for you - I've been having the same problem except that I AM able to connect to my Mac via my PC - just not the other way around.
The really annoying thing is I'm not interested in connecting from my PC to the Mac, I just want to connect from the Mac to the PC.
There is an answer in Mac help, but it hasn't solved my problem. I'm not an IT expert at all, so I haven't the faintest idea what the solution is. Mac help says this occurs when upgrading from Mac OS X 10.3 to 10.4 but I've always had 10.4 and for me it only happened after I uploaded security updates - although I'm not sure which update caused it.
This is from Mac help, maybe it will work for you:
Symptoms
Mac OS X 10.4: Error -36 alert displays when connecting to a Samba or Windows server
After upgrading from Mac OS X 10.3.x to Mac OS X 10.4, you may get an error message when you try to connect to a Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server. A Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server includes servers operating on Microsoft Windows and other operating systems that use Samba for SMB/CIFS services.
If the connection is unsuccessful, the following error message may appear:
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some of the data in smb://........ could not be read or written. (Error code -36).
If you check the Console (/Applications/Utilities/), you will also see this error message:
mount_smbfs: session setup phase failed
Resolution
This error can occur if your Mac OS X 10.4 client is trying to connect to a Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server that only supports plain text passwords. If you do not see the above message in the Console, you are not experiencing this issue and should try normal troubleshooting
Unlike Mac OS X 10.3, the Mac OS X 10.4 SMB/CIFS client by default only supports encrypted passwords. Most modern Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) servers use encrypted passwords by default, while some Samba servers might have to be reconfigured.
You should consider contacting the owner or system administrator of the Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server to which you are trying to connect and encourage them to disable plain text passwords and start using encrypted ones. If the server cannot be reconfigured to support encrypted passwords, you can configure Mac OS X 10.4 SMB/CIFS client to send plain text passwords.
Warning: If you configure your computer to allow connections to Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) servers using plain text passwords, when you attempt to make any connection to such a Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server, your password will be sent "in the clear". This means that it is possible for someone who is monitoring your connection to see your password. This could lead to someone compromising the Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server. We strongly recommend that you configure your Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) servers to exclusively use encrypted passwords.
Follow the steps below to configure your computer to use plain text passwords to make SMB/CIFS connections when the specified Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) server does not support encrypted passwords. (You must be an administrator to do these steps.)
Make sure that you are not currently connected to any Samba or Windows (SMB/CIFS) servers and that you do not have any Samba or Windows-related error messages open.
Open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/).
At the prompt, type: sudo pico /etc/nsmb.conf
Press Return.
Enter your password when prompted, then press Return again.
You should see an empty file and a "New File" notice at the bottom of the pico window. If you do not see the "New File" notice, this file already exists.
Enter the following into the file so that it appears as follows:
[default]
minauth=none
Save the file (press Control-O), press Return, then exit pico (Control-X).
Type: sudo chmod a+r /etc/nsmb.conf
Press Return.
Restart your computer.

"Connection failed" using smb to Win 7 64-bit shared folder

Hi,
I am a new Mac user and was unable to find any suggestion for a solution to the problem I am experiencing.
I use a folder on my PC to store video files. It is shared and the Mac connects to the address smb://biblioteket. This usually works fine, but sometimes I get a "Connection failed" error message. I connect through a gigbit wired ethernet connection.
Some other characteristics:
- If I restart my PC and reconnect, it works again - every time.
- I can connect to the PC using Teamviewer even if I get the error message, meaning there is a connection between the computers.
- The error will always show up if I try to copy large files from my Mac to the shared folder on the PC. I get a error message during file copying, after that the mounted drive is inaccessible and the "Connection failed" error message appears.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
So I did what I always do to get the error message. I moved about 25 files from the Mac to the PC. Total size was about 5 gb. About half way through, I get the following error message:
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “(filename(.avi” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36).
So I retry, but this time the mounted drive has disconnected and get the following error msg:
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -41).
This happened with a new user (administrator). Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

...connect to a shared folder on a MAC with director 11???

Hi All,
I developed a project a few years ago that work as follows.
This was designed to work on Win XP, using Director MX2004
Server Setup
All the media files where installed on a server and the folder they resided in was setup as a shared folder.
Workstation Setup
A projector was installed on a workstation PC, along with the director projector, a txt file was install, the txt file contained the unc path to where all the media files resided. i.e. all director & video file etc.
The projector file would read the text file, get the unc path, and open the appropriate dxr file.
This worked really well.
My question is, now I'm upgrading the software to Director 11, it is required to work the same way on MAC OSX. The only difference to the system will be that the media files will reside on a MAC server and the workstations will be MACs (Intel MACs running the latest OSX).
How can you connect to a shared folder on a MAC with director 11?
Its not '\\share_name'... should 'afp:\\share_name' work???
I keep getting the can't find 'myfile.dxr' alertbox
I hope I've explained myself well enough.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Using a similar technique you could write the name of the mounted volume (just the name in this case, not the full path) to a text file and open it with a separate AppleScript app containing the applescript below. Note that any files you have accessed from the volume will probably have to be unlinked before Finder will be able to eject it.
on open (theFile)
set theVolume to readFile(theFile as text)
if (theVolume is "") then
    return false
end if
try
    tell application "Finder"
      eject theVolume
    end tell
    return true
on error
    return false
end try
end open
on readFile(theFileName)
try
    set theFileRef to (open for access file theFileName)
on error
    return ""
end try
try
    set theText to (read theFileRef)
on error
    set theText to ""
end try
close access theFileRef
return theText
end readFile

Running Desktop app via shared folder.

Hi All
I have been experimenting with deploying a desktop app over a network by simply running a jar file located in a shared folder on a server.
I have been having mixed results and have even managed to get the JVM to crash.
Do any of you have any experience with deploying apps this way, as is it a sensible idea.
Any info or opinions would be appreciated

No "Shared" Folder in iPhone 4 ; iPod. OS 4.3

No "Shared" Folder in iPhone 4 ; iPod. OS 4.3
Hi,
For some reason I can't seem to get the "Shared" folder under "More" on the iPod app via iPhone 4. I'm trying to take advantage of the ability to use my iTunes library on my PC on my iPhone. I had followed the simple steps to enable Home Sharing via iPhone and iTunes but the folder simply won't show on my iPhone.
Steps I've taken, plus information as follows.
Windows 7
iTunes 10.2.1.1 (uninstall-ed, reinstall-ed)
iPhone 4 Version 4.3(8F190)
WiFi connection to my network is working (rebooted network, turned Windows firewall on/off)
Started with Home Sharing not being turned on in either iPhone or iTunes.
Turned it on in iTunes first via Advanced -> Turn On Home Sharing and entered my AppleID/password -> Create Home Share -> Done. Confrimed under Edit -> Pref that "Share my local network" is checked with "Share entire library" checked. No password required.
Then on the iPhone via Settings -> iPod -> Home Sharing field Apple ID / Password entered.
Library name: Jarrod's Library
Soft reset done on iPhone along with rebooting PC and network and regular power cycles on device.
Turned Windows firewall off/on. No other firewall/virus programs running.
Re-create my iTunes Library, backing up the .xml file and reapplying it as import, then reapplying onto iPhone via sync.
I had to "repair" the Bonjour software when I first attempted to turn on Sharing in iTunes via Pref (before entering info on iPhone) because it was Bonjour was disabled, I repaired it via windows and was allowed to check the box then.
Reviewed my router settings; DNS via iphone is 192.168.0.1 and is the same under Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
Description: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller #2
Physical Address: 6C-F0-49-51-CF-D7
DHCP Enabled: Yes
IPv4 Address: 192.168.15.2
IPv4 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Lease Obtained: March-21-11 3:10:08 PM
Lease Expires: March-29-11 3:52:47 AM
IPv4 Default Gateway: 192.168.15.1
IPv4 DHCP Server: 192.168.15.1
IPv4 DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
IPv4 WINS Server:

Link-local IPv6 Address: fe80::a14a:58c:e4b3:9eb9%13
IPv6 Default Gateway:

So my Ipv4 DNS servier matchs via my routing DNS setting "Router IP adress".
no firewall protectin or mac protectin active. (the wifi will connect to my home network
Summary: Confrimed all the acccount info(in itunes Home sharing, ipod settings) is entered correctly and Sharing is enabled then. Up to date software, rebooted networked/devices(PC,iPhone), firewall off/on, WiFi works with the network/PC/iPhone in question. up to date software.
That's pretty much where I left off from Apple tech support, which I`ll be calling back tomrrow. Just documenting my steps and hopfully will find a solution to make home sharing work on my iPhone via my wifi networking/ PC with iTunes. Before having to call back. Thanks for any help.
Thanks for any suggestion and I'll keep this upto date with more info.

hey still having the issue if anyone knows a fix or where i found follow furhter help. i currently cna't call apple back. tnump!

Need help sharing folder on home network

I just setup 10.4 server on a mac mini for my home. I would like to share a Public folder for the family's files and itunes on the server. I would like to have it be completely open for access by anyone in my home network. What is the best way to set this up??
Currently I made a user "itunes" and shared Music which my XP machine and my Macs can access. But folks need a password to get into it. I want it completely non-secure. I did this via Server Admin. It almost seems easier to just share a folder via "Sharing" in Sys Prefs.
I replaced this machine with a SuSE Linux machine just a couple days ago. It was a lot easier to share on SuSE, but I guess I'm just not used to the system yet.
Thanks for the help.
Tom
PS - I posted this on the 10.5 section by mistake.

In Tiger server you setup sharing of folders/files using he WorkGroup Manager, WGM, in Server Admin you configure the AFP and/or SMB Windows filesharing server(s) and turn them on/off.
I don't think you can leave the password empty for SMB server access for a non guest user.
So if you turn on guest access I think guest shared folders accessible without a password.
Otherwise you might from Windows need to "connect as an other user" and perhaps tel Windows which machine/server should authenticate the user by entering server machinename\username or server ip\username and password (which can be very trivial like "123" or something).

Can't Remove Shared Folder

A shared folder is showing up in my Finder. I believe that it is showing up because a friend of mine docked his iPod in a dock connected to my iMac to charge it. My friend has a PC and when I try to access this new shared folder it asks me for a registered user name and password. My friend has exhausted the possible combinations of user names and passwords that could work and we have yet to have any success. I really don't care about accessing the folder, I just want to delete it. Can anyone help me?

I have the same issue. I have a computer showing up in my shared folder that i know nothing about. It is labeled enb59ywia16wnmo7. I do not know if it is my brothers macbook or my parent's pc as are all connected via a wireless router or an ouside computer. any suggestions?
