Summary:
Periodic Event Actions are designed to trigger an action once per hour, daily, weekly or monthly. Under certain conditions it is possible for the action to trigger more than once.
Description:
Startup & Shutdown. This is one of the easiest automations on the Mac, and it’s native to OS X. War Trigger 2 1.5 for Mac is free to download from our application library. The software relates to Games. Our antivirus analysis shows that this Mac download is malware free. This free Mac app was originally developed by Rocketeer Games Studio, LLC.
If you edit and save an action that has already fired within the specified period, that action may trigger again. When you save the action, MassTransit reloads all the actions and re-initializes all of the time frames. Due to the re-initialization, MassTransit may detect that an action has not been triggered and it will trigger again.
Summary:
Apple frequently publishes updates to Mac OS X. Occasionally these updates make changes to the web setup that can break the web interface for MassTransit. This article describes how to ensure that MassTransit functions properly after updating your Mac OS X installation.
When transferring files from a Mac to a MassTransit server using Firefox's built-in HTTP file transfer support (without the MassTransit Plug-in), you will be able to select two file types that cannot actually be transferred using HTTP. The affected types (.app and .pkg files) are considered 'bundles' or 'packages' on Mac OS X. They normally look like a single file but are essentially folders containing multiple related files.
This message primarily means that a TCP connection was initiated on a port that MassTransit was listening on (typically port 50000). After MassTransit has opened the socket, it begins to “probe” the remote destination for authentication. Here, it is determined whether the remote side is a legitimate MassTransit contact, and further, which contact is calling. If no information is passed during this “probing period,” the connection will eventually time out and produce this error message.
Question:
Why do I get the following error? TCP/IP Secure reports : error1407609C:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:http request:s23_srvr.c:385: (6776)
Answer:
This error can occur if your SSL protocols are not matched up. To verify these settings first check the SSL encryption level for Incoming calls on the MassTransit Server.

Summary:
MassTransit servers and clients may report an inability to connect to a remote destination that is configured to use an IP address reserved for private internets (networks).
Description:
Organizations that require network connectivity internally, but do not require network layer connectivity outside of that organization may choose to use IP addresses that have been reserved for private internets. As indicated in RFC 1918, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved three specific blocks for such private internets. These blocks include:
Summary:
Yes, all MassTransit product types run natively on macOS as of version 4.2 to version 6.0.

Existing files in the original location are not overwritten with copies from Acronis Cloud.
Symptoms
Tri-ger Mac Os X
- You want to restore some files from a backup in Acronis Cloud.
- You select the files to restore and a location where to restore these files. The location is not the original location of these files, but a new one.
- While restoring you see this error:
File with this name already exists. - However, recovery destination folder does not contain these files.
Cause
This is a GUI issue. The issue will be fixed in future updates of Acronis True Image.
Acronis True Image supports macOS Sierra starting with Version 2017 Update 1 (build 5573). Update the product to the latest build.
If you are not sure, which build is currently installed on your machine, this article helps you find it out.
If you need assistance with installing the new build, this article provides you with step-by-step instructions.
We've had a number of questions recently about searching in Mac OS X 10.5.6.
As we explain in this knowledge base article, Apple introduced a bug in Mac OS 10.5.6 that causes it not to correctly send search requests.
Group Logic has been working with Apple and encouraging them to fix the problem in 10.5.7. We'll post an update as soon as we confirm that a fix is available.
Summary:
The latest version of the Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Resource Kit gives mention to Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP) File Server as an alternative to Microsoft's Services for Macintosh (SFM).
Acronis Files Connect versions 10.0.4 and later have been tested for compatibility with macOS 10.12 ‘Sierra’. If you are running an earlier version of Acronis Files Connect, please install 10.0.4 or later to support Sierra client Macs.
Question:
Can Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP) replace Cyan Software's MacServerIP which has not been upgraded to support Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Windows 2008 Server?
Answer:
With Cyan's lack of upgrades and technical support for MacServerIP, Group Logic recognizes the need of customers for a supported, compatible AFP server solution on the Windows platform.
Question:
Is it possible to change my password from the Macintosh when using Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP) on my server? Are there any issues I should be concerned about?
Question:
How does Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP) use TCP/IP and Appletalk?
Answer:
Tri-ger Mac Os Update
Acronis Files Connect use of AppleTalk is limited to broadcast and service discovery functions (we also support SLP and Bonjour).
Since Apple's newer AFP protocol provides a big performance advantage over AppleTalk, Acronis Files Connect uses TCP/IP over AFP for file sharing activities. We support AFP v3.1 for Mac OS X clients and AFP v2.2 for Mac OS 9 clients.
Question:
I am using Mac OS 8.1 and when I view files on my Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP) server, the file sizes are incorrect. What's wrong?
Answer:
This problem is a known bug with Mac OS 8.1 and AppleShare Client 3.8. It's actually the result of an undocumented portion of the AFP protocol.
Question:
Now that I've migrated from SFM to Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP), my Mac clients fail to auto-mount volumes. What's wrong?
Answer:
The first thing to check is to look in the 'Acronis Files Connect Administrator' program and see if the 'Allow Workstations To Save Password' button is checked. If this is not checked, then workstations will not be able to log in at start up correctly. Turn this option on, then remount the servers from the clients and set up the auto-mounting again.
Symptom:
Searches may hang when typing slowly into the Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger search prompt.
Steps to Reproduce:
Select an Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP) mounted volume on a Mac OS 10.4 client and type any word into the search prompt with a second pause between each letter.
Symptom:
Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP) indexed searches on 'Name' with parameters 'ends with,' 'begins with,' and 'is' do not return any results.
Steps to Reproduce:
Search on 'Name' with parameters 'ends with,' 'begins with,' and 'is'. You won't find anything.
Cause:
This is a bug in Mac OS 10.4 Tiger and occurs in 10.4 - 10.4.2.
Workaround:
There is no workaround.
Fix:
This bug is likely corrected in the Mac OS 10.4.3 update, which addresses multiple file search bugs.
Question:
Why are my Intel Macs getting a Connection Failed 2 error?
Answer:
This error only happens if you are connecting to Microsoft Services for Macintosh (SFM) using the custom Microsoft User Authentication Module (MSUAM). This issue does not affect Acronis Files Connect because it uses either the built-in DHX or Kerberos User Authentication Modules which work fine on the Intel Macs.
Summary:
As noted in a previous Knowledge Base article, there is a bug in Mac OS X 10.5.6 that causes it to report no search results when searching against AFP servers other than Mac OS X 10.5, including Acronis Files Connect (formerly ExtremeZ-IP), Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), and Microsoft's now discontinued Services for Macintosh (SFM) on Windows 2000 or Windows 2003.
Symptom:
After upgrading from previous versions to 2.1.1x18 or v3.0x10, a Mac user mounts a volume using a NT domain account:
a) Some (or all) folder/files within the volume are not visible, even though the user has permissions in NT
b) User is unable to write or delete inside a folder where they have NT permissions

Symptoms
During backup of your Mac, you see the following error in logs:
Request failed. Parallels Desktop is not installed.
Cause
As Acronis True Image for Mac has a possibility to back up Parallels Desktop virtual machines, during the disk level backups it sends to the system a request to check whether Parallels Desktop is installed.
Does Files Connect support macOS 10.13 High Sierra?
Yes, Acronis Files Connect (formerly Acronis Access Connect) is fully compatible with macOS 10.13 High Sierra, as well as earlier versions of Apple's macOS / OS X operating systems.
Does Acronis Files Connect work with HFS+ and APFS disks?
Yes, it works fine with either disk format.
What's the difference between AFP and APFS?
They're very different but easy to confuse because of the similarity of the names and abbreviations.
MassTransit runs and currently ships without a dongle, but for those customers running older (5.x and later) versions of MassTransit, the option is available as well. In order to convert your dongled MassTransit server to a dongle-less version you will need to obtain a dongle config file from Acronis. If you are interested, please contact us at sales@acronis.com or https://support.acronis.com/mobility and your rep will get in touch with you to begin the process.
The most common reason for this is an unoptimized file system. Please open a technical support case at
For system administrators, macOS roaming helps your Mac stay connected as it moves between different places within your office network.
Trigger threshold
The trigger threshold is the minimum signal level a client requires to maintain the current connection.
macOS clients monitor and maintain the current BSSID’s connection until the RSSI crosses the -75 dBm threshold. After RSSI crosses that threshold, macOS scans for roam candidate BSSIDs for the current ESSID.
Consider this threshold in view of the signal overlap between your wireless cells. macOS maintains a connection until the -75 dBm threshold, but 5 GHz cells are designed with a -67 dBm overlap. Those clients will remain connected to the current BSSID longer than you might expect.
Also consider how the cell overlap is measured. The antennas on computers vary from model to model, and they see different cell boundaries than may be expected. It's always best to use the target device when you measure cell overlap.
Selection criteria for band, network, and roam candidates
macOS always defaults to the 5 GHz band over the 2.4 GHz band. This happens as long as the RSSI for a 5 GHz network is -68 dBm or better.
If multiple 5 GHz SSIDs meet this level, macOS chooses a network based on these criteria:
- 802.11ax is preferred over 802.11ac.
- 802.11ac is preferred over 802.11n or 802.11a.
- 802.11n is preferred over 802.11a.
- 80 MHz channel width is preferred over 40 MHz or 20 MHz.
- 40 MHz channel width is preferred over 20 MHz.
macOS doesn't support 802.11k. macOS does interoperate with SSIDs that have 802.11k enabled.
macOS selects a target BSSID whose reported RSSI is 12 dB or greater than the current BSSID’s RSSI. This is true even if the macOS client is idle or transmitting/receiving data.
Roam performance
Roam performance describes how long a client needs to authenticate successfully to a new BSSID.
Finding a valid network and AP is only part of the process. The client must complete the roam process quickly and without interruption so the user doesn't experience downtime. Roaming involves the client authenticating against the new BSSID and deauthenticating from the current BSSID. The security and authentication method determines how quickly this can happen.
First, 802.1X-based authentication requires the client to complete the entire EAP key exchange. Then, it can deauthenticate from the current BSSID. Depending on the environment’s authentication infrastructure, this might take several seconds. End users could experience interrupted service in the form of dead air.
macOS supports static PMKID (Pairwise Master Key identifier) caching to help optimize roaming between BSSIDs in the same ESSID. macOS doesn't support Fast BSS Transition, also known as 802.11r. You don't have to deploy additional SSIDs to support macOS because macOS interoperates with 802.11r.
Measure Client RSSI
macOS offers a few built-in tools that scan to measure RSSI.
To learn the RSSI for the associated network, hold the Option key while you click the Wi-Fi menu .
To learn the RSSI for networks in the client’s environment, use Wireless Diagnostics. To open Wireless Diagnostics, Option-click on the Wi-Fi menu , then select Open Wireless Diagnostic. In the menu bar, choose Window > Scan to find all nearby wireless networks and measure their RSSI.
