Xserve showing as PC server in sidebar and not a mac server

Hi
I currently have an Xserve running 10.5.8 server in a classroom environment, all the macs bind to the server and can connect to its share points using home directories. The server however is appearing in the sidebar on all macs as a pc server and in a folder called servers all the macs are running 10.5.8 and 10.6.2. This is causing problems with some share points and screen sharing. Can anyone help me with this I have tried restarting the afp and smb, resetting the dns service, restarting the server and repairing disk permissions.
Thanks

Hi sorry, no its 10.5.8 Server, Most macs on the network running 10.5 and some 10.6
I had been working fine until yesterday, pre-updates
I've switch all the connections afp, smb, dns etc. off with restarts and switched them back on again with restarts.
Repaired permissions. restarted, propagated permissions to all folders, restarted. Which actually worked for a short while, with the mounted dock shares.
But still not getting the server to display in the share sidebar. As it was previously displaying as a PC server I switched off the smb. This is when it stopped displaying the server all together although I can connect via cmd+k. I've just switched smb back on and its displaying the server as a PC server again
I've also tried rebinding the server via directory util.
I used to click the arrow and it would have the server address ready to choose. Now I have to add it manually.
Oddly enough, when I noticed the problem, most of the network worked fine apart from 3. 2 of which had lost the bind and wouldn't logon and 1 had lost the users preferences. The 2 that were rebind started fine with mounted shared dock but the 1 that lost the preferences lost the mounts.
Now the mounts appears as a question mark and when click is prompt for the admin password.
I'm guessing that I need to repair permissions and propagate the folder permissions too again.
Still lost without being able to get to the server without finding a monitor though....
Hope that helps a bit more.
Thanks again

    I'm afraid you'll have to get the phone serviced, dropping the phone must have damaged additional parts inside the phone.
    But Apple will not service the phone anymore, opening the phone and replacing the battery should only be done by authorized personal, not by users.
    You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop and see if they can fix this, sorry.

  • Saving TV shows purchesed on iTunes to Apple TV not my Mac

    Is there any way to have TV shows I've purchased on iTunes stored on my Apple TV and not my Mac and be able to watch those shows?

    you can use the external HDD, but you still need to go thru itunes.
    the appletv cannot connect direct to the external HDD.

  • Ask your question.I installed the app" Find my phone for my Ipad. But I also installed that app on my Iphone. but the Iphone app still just shows where my Ipad is located and not the phone, how can I get then both to show location?

    I installed the App" find my Iphone on my Ipad.. its working well.
    But I also need to be able to track my Iphone if lost... I also have the app on my Iphone but when I click on it to find my phone it is showing me where my Ipad is... how can I get it to show my Iphone also? the chances of me losing my Ipad are less then my Iphone.But I need to be able to trac both.

    How was your wife using the Find My iPhone app from a Samsung phone? But, that question aside, your wife should educate herself on how GPS works, especially on a cell phone. GPS signals can be interfered with by trees, buildings, clouds. Off by several miles would be unusual, though.
    If your wife is tracking your cell phone and not believing what you tell her, you may want to consider counseling as there are some very serious issues that go way beyond the technology.
    Best of luck.

  • Why is my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer showing up as only a printer and not a scanner?

    I have an iMac running 10.9.3. I am trying to set up my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer which is connected to my airport extreme. But for some reason, on my iMac it is showing up as only a printer and does not recognize the scanner or give me any scanning options. I need this for a class........any suggestion? I have been to HP's website but cannot locate any drivers or scanning software on their page, only instructions.

    Make sure the scanner is powered on.
    If the scanner fails to show up, open Preview in Applications. Under File do you see Import from scanner....
    If no, Open Image Capture in Applications and see if it will recognize your scanner.

  • Is it possible for songs to be stored on an external hard drive and not my mac, and still play on iTunes? For example: those songs only show up when I plug in my hard drive. My mac has low memory, and I have a lot of songs.

    Title! I'm a starting up aspiring dj/musician. Thank you!

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
    2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

  • Iphone 4s is not showing up in itunes on PC and not recognized by computer

    I did all of the suggestions for others with this issue and finally reinstalled itunes. It's still not working. I also noticed that when I plug my iphone into my computer I'm asked if I want my iphone to trust the computer- it doesn't recognize my phone even though I've been plugging it into this computer for months. Even after I say "trust", I'm asked the next time I plug in the iphone. Can anyone help???

    Thanks for responding. I did go thru all of the trouble shooting suggestions and none of them worked. The final suggestion was to uninstall iTunes and then check to make sure no support programs remained. I searched my c drive and none of them could be found. Then I reinstalled iTunes. Is this right?
    I want very hard here to avoid splitting hairs with you but with the way you worded your post I feel it best that I attempt to sumarize what must be done AFTER uninstalling the itunes program. In the articles that I listed for you it talks about unstinalling all other associated programs as a part of itunes. Those programs MUST be uninstalled and then as part of downloading a new copy of itunes then installed along with the new copy of itunes. If you are saying that you did uninstall iTunes, and then after that uninstalled all other associated programs then yes you are now ready to download and install a new copy of itunes.
    Please note that this should be done as a new copy of itunes and NOT the same copy that had originally been downloaded that resulted in the issues.
    Good luck Friend.

  • Emails on Z10 and NOT on Mac

    For some reason when I open an email on my Z10 it doesn't seem to appear on my Mac PC? Is there anyway I can alter this?

    Hey saraparker,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Just to clarify, you just open the emails on the BlackBerry Z10 and do not delete them?  What type of mail server are you using?  POP3, IMAP or Exchange?
    If you access the webmail and not the client, is the email message still listed there?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Why does exchange server work for MSN Mail on iPad and not on Mac Mini?

    My MSN Mail works great on my iPad and iPhone but will not work on my Mac Mini? I input the same server address but it will not connect. I've even tried m.hotmail.com, etc. but not joy.
    Any ideas please?

    At the moment the only way to do this between a Mac and iPad with Outlook/Hotmail would be if you used webmail on the Mac. Anything you do in webmail would be shown on the iPad and vice versa.
    It used to be possible with the free GMail to use IMAP on the Mac and ActiveSync on the iPhone/iPad which would have been the sort of solution you are looking for. Now with the free GMail you have to use IMAP on the iPhone/iPad as well (ActiveSync is no longer available in the free GMail). IMAP would sync the changes still.
    Unfortunately as IMAP is not available for Outlook.com/Hotmail you cannot do the samething as a workaround.
    You could get a free GMail account and have it collect all your Hotmail messages, then you could use IMAP on both.

  • HT201272 I pre ordered Avicii's album, it says purchased but not showing up in my purchased folder and not allowing me to download. Just says purchased

    As I said I pre-ordered the album, however I had already bought the two songs (Wake Me Up and You Make Me).When the preorder went through in the first place, it was not showing up as a download, it showed up as an iCloud download. I thought it was weird however I still went forward and downloaded it. Wasn't a huge deal but the two singles werent showing up as part of the album, they were the singles. That bugged me so I thought deleting them all and re downloading them would work and I would have the whole album instead of a part album and two singles. However, now in iTunes it says that the album (True) is purchased and there is no way of re-downloading. It is not showing up as a purchase anywhere else though... I've gone to the iTunes front page, went to the purchased tabs and it says the last purchased song was "Skip to the Good Bit" by Rizzle Kicks (good song btw). On my iPod there it is not in recently listened to or added< almost no record that I've bought these songs. I would even re-purchase. I wouldn't entirely want to, but thats not even an option...

    Hi there MeganElizabeth02061999,
    You may want to check your past purchases and see if you can find the tracks there. Take a look at the article below for more information.
