box, I have "smb://PathToFiles" . Is smb:// the correct prefix to use now that Lion is funky with SMB support?I'm sorry...I really don't know much about SMB connections, what kind of server it is that I'm trying to connect to, or much else. I know we run Windows Exchange, but I'm not sure if that's the server that hosts these shared drives...I just need to connect mac connect to server not prompting for credentials to get back to work. Any help would be AWESOME. Posted on Jul 21, 2011 1:55 PM I have this question too by upeace,Solvedanswer upeace Level 1 (0 points) A: I (or I should say, my IT guy) finally fixed my problem! I outline the solution in as much detail as I can on my blog: http://fatwalr.us/2011/08/solution-to-my-smb-connection-problem-in-lion/ . Basically, all I need to do is go into my Terminal and manually mount the drive. I have no idea why this works though Terminal and not through the Connect to Server panel, but it does. Since it's so simple, I'm expecting a Software Update from Apple soon to fix the problem for good.I hope this helps any of you who are in the same position as I have been (frustrated out of your mind).

Mavericks brought a slight change that has caused some problems for certain users in mixed PC and Mac environments. Without getting too geeky, Apple adjusted the default protocol for
Mac Smb Password Incorrect
SMB (Samba, the Windows file sharing ability) from SMB1 to SMB2, and the SMB2 implementation mount_smbfs: server connection failed: invalid argument apparently carries a bug which is incompatible with many NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices, and some versions of Windows. The issue is el capitan smb issues pretty obvious when you encounter it: Many Windows PC's, NAS drives, and Linux machines won't access or mount from the Mac, and instead will try to connect or mount forever and ultimately time out, preventing connections, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3196311?start=60 mapped drives, and general access. Fortunately there's a very easy workaround to connect to SMB and NAS shares from OS X Mavericks, OS X Yosemite, and OS X El Capitan: From the OS X Finder, hit Command+K to summon "Go To Server" as usual In the "Server Address" field, enter the IP to connect to with the cifs:// prefix as follows: cifs://127.0.0.1 Connect to the SMB, NAS, or Windows share as usual Yes it http://osxdaily.com/2013/10/30/connect-smb-nas-network-shares-os-x-mavericks/ really is as simple as specifying the protocol to be cifs:// rather than smb://, which if you've ever mounted Samba shares from the command line you've probably already used cifs before. If you're wondering why this works, it's because using CIFS connects with SMB1 rather than the (currently) buggy implementation of SMB2. The result; cross-platform network shares functioning as usual. I ran into this last night and it was fairly frustrating to experience, but a big thanks Todd Pilgrams on the Apple Discussion Boards who discovered the simple workaround a few days ago. Because there are tons of Mac-to-PC networks out there, this will probably be a frequently encountered issue for many Mavericks users. With that said, going the other way around and file sharing from Mac OS X to Windows continues to work exactly as intended, though it should be noted that OS X Mavericks has seamlessly moved all network-based Mac-to-Mac file sharing to SMB2 as well, though the traditional AFP continues to function as well for legacy support and for connecting between Mavericks and earlier versions of OS X. This really is just a bug with the newest version of Mac OS X, and it will probably be resolved shortly with an update to Mavericks, perhaps as OS X 10.9.1 or even a smaller supplemental upd
laptops, but prefer to build my own Windows PCs when it comes to desktops. As a web developer, I can run all of my web servers http://blog.rubbingalcoholic.com/post/39412902216/fix-smb-windows-sharing-permissions-issue-in-os-x and host my code within the Linux-y environment of OS X, and I can http://www.andrewhazelden.com/blog/2013/01/connecting-to-a-mac-os-x-lion-smb-share-using-windows-7/ use my Windows PC to access and edit my code over the network. This is possible because OS X supports SMB sharing, which is compatible with Windows networks. At least in theory. In reality, starting with OS X 10.7 (Lion) this became very problematic. Apple used to bundle Samba with earlier versions of connect to OS X to enable SMB sharing. Then one day the Samba project switched to a more restrictive GPLv3 license, and Apple could no longer include it without open-sourcing their proprietary code. This left Apple with the ugly task of rolling their own SMB service, and since that’s mainly used for Windows sharing, they didn’t give a shit about it and did a horrible job. As a mac connect to result, some serious problems started happening in OS X 10.7+ when using Windows networking. What are the problems with Apple’s shitty SMB? Starting with OS X 10.7, you may have noticed the following bugs when using SMB: Intermittent errors when saving files Intermittent data corruption around the ends of files (seems fixed in 10.8) No inherited group permission on files created over SMB This last issue is the most frustrating. Because my web server software runs under a different user account, it requires group access to my files in order for them to actually work. Even though the folders have the correct group permissions, Apple’s SMB service isn’t inheriting them properly and new files are created with owner access only. This meant that any time I would create a file over the network from Windows, I would have to change the permissions on it manually on the OS X machine via SSH. Very tedious. What are the possible fixes? Use only Apple computers on your network. or install the SMBUp app by Eduo, which replaces Apple’s SMB implementation with the real Samba and provides a graphical frontend to manage it. or disable Apple’s SMB and manually install Samb
shares. This week I finally made the switch to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion on my Apple Mac Pro computer. One of the first roadblocks I hit was changes to Lion's Samba SMB file sharing protocol. For further reading, there is an SMB related discussion on the Apple tech support thread: Windows computers can not access smb-shares in Lion Here's my solution for connecting the Windows 7 and Mac OS X systems together using SMB. When I connect a Windows 7 PC to a Mac OS X Lion file server using SAMBA, the system expects the computer name (domain) to be written before the login name. To start with, we need to find out the Mac systems "Computer Name" in the Sharing System Preferences window. Open the System Preferences icon in your dock. Click on the Sharing tab. Make a note of the Mac's computer name. In this example my computer is called Mac-Pro. The sharing tab shows your computer name and allows you to enable file sharing. Now let's go back to the Windows 7 system. Use the start bar to open the "Computer" window. Let's connect the Windows computer to the Macintosh's SMB share. Click the "Map Network Drive" button. The map network drive button allows you to access SMB shares on your network. The Map Network Drive dialogue will allow us to connect a shared folder on another system. Let's connect to a hard drive called "Personal" on the "Mac-Pro" system to the Windows drive letter "Z". Set the folder to: \\Mac-Pro\Personal If we enable the "Reconnect at login" checkbox the share will be mounted automatically when the Windows 7 computer is turned on. Enable the "Connect using different credentials" checkbox to allow us to login to the Mac computer using a different username. Click the Finish button to connect. In the Windows security dialog the domain is listed as "HP". To connect to the Mac OS X 10.7 system we need to switch the domain name to the name of the Mac Pro system. The Windows 7 system wants to use the PC's domain name. In this case the domai
