MacAir using AD for authentication. In AD, there is a network home assigned to that user. When logging into that account on the Mac, it takes 1-2 minutes after entering credentials, before displaying an error that it could not connect to it, every time.

In our AD, all users have a network home that is set (smb://home for example). For some of our Mac users using AD for authentication, there is a 1-2 minute delay between entering their credentials and the OS being presented. The OS does not present itself until the user dismisses the alert: "There was a problem connecting to server home".Local users on the same machines do not have that problem.
It remains in the dock as User's Network Home as a ? that I am unable to remove, and there is also a 'Unknown' in the log-in items for the user as well (that I am also unable to remove).
Is there anyway to disable this share? Or to stop the Mac from trying to connect to it before loading the OS?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 &amp; above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    Hi Kanchan,
    So on each computer, you create a local user account that is a member of the Administrators group, and use the same account and password on each machine(controller and Agent), am I right?
    Could you enable the detailed log message?

  • I recently upgraded computer to windows 7.  When I open itunes I am able to see my music library, but unable to play.  Gives an error message of "Could not be found".  How do I retrieve my library contents?

    I recently upgraded computer to Windows 7.  When I open itunes I am able to see my music library, but unable to play.  Gives an error message of "Could not be found".  How do I retrieve my library contents?

    Hello ehoff5,
    I would be concerned too if I was not able to play my music in iTunes.  It sounds like the music files may be in a location that iTunes is not expecting.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

    Hi all,
    I have the same problem with my Windows 8.1 laptop and my guess is that since I changed my Internet Provider who now delivers IPv6 addresses the problem occurs. A frieend who has a different provider does not have the problem in his home, but when he tries using iTunes at my home with my network he gets the same problem.
    I have already solved a previous problem with Outlook 2003 not being able to receive emails from my wifes GMail account although everything else worked fine. The solution here was to enter the IPv4 address of Google POP-Server in the hosts file, overriding the IPv6 address.
    Maybe something similar helps with this iTunes error.
    If someone knows the hostname of the iTunes Store server, it could be pinged and the IPv4 address could be determined and then entered in the HOSTS file.
    I'll continue trying in this direction and will post a solution if I find one.
    If someone has the iTunes server name or IPv4 address, please post it.

  • ITunes error message / "iTunes could not connect to the music store...

    The past week, I have been having problems connecting to the iTunes music store. I purchased my ipod in 10/05 and have had no problems until recently. I keep receiving the following error message:
    "iTunes could not connect to the music store. Network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct & network connection is active, then try again."
    I went onto the website, and checked various things. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the software, checked to see if I have any firewalls (none), checked to see if I have Windows XP service pack 2 (I have 1), and contacted my ISP (AOL). Help! I have AOL 8.0 dial up, and have had service with them for a couple of years now, so that is not an issue. Per AOL, I tried uninstalling AOL adapter and restarting my computer, and also deleting cookies and deleting files/all offline content, defaulted my security settings (they were the same), and reset web settings. I have restarted my computer, but am still having the same issues. I already contacted iTunes about this issue, and they sent me the same email twice, with the same instructions as their website, which I indicated I already tried numerous times. I have also checked my connections, and everything is fune. I try to access iTunes after logging into AOL.
    Thank you in advance to everybody that responds.
    Emily

    Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, I keep trying to do that, and have not been able to download for about a week. After contact customer support, I received the general "technical support" email, which is the same information found on the website. After replying to the email, which stated that I tried already tried the methods listed, I received the same email again. After replying to that email which included the previous threads, I received an email stating that the deparment I replied to does not handle technical issues. So, tonight, I re-emailed them with all of the threads and asked for an explanation of why I received technical emails if they do not respond to technical emails. It will be interesting to see how they respond, although it will probably be some general email. I sometimes respond to member service emails at my place of employment, so I know the procedure. The bottom line is that I should receive answers to my questions, even if the answer is something along these lines:
    "I am researching your problem, and will contact you within the next xx hours/business days with a resolution. We value you as a customer, and strive to maintain excellent customer support and satisfaction. Thank you for your patience."
    Or, a similar response. I know there is a general response library. And, I also know that if some body is unable to answer a question, as customer support, they should try utilize their resources. Basically, be a problem solver.

  • Error message: itunes could not connect to the itunes store

    Hi All,
    I'm a rookie to the whol Apple ipod nano, etc, etc. I bought the generation 3 nano yesterday. I successfully downloaded a CD to the nano, but when i tried to download a tv show and open itunes i get the follow error message:
    "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    The funny thing is, is that i'm not even on a network. I'm just doing this from home and not connected to a network. internet connection works, I ran the diagnostic and nothing weird came up? Any suggestion for a newbee.

    Hi, I am having the same problem and I get the message: "iTUNES could not connect to the iTUNES store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I just downloaded 2 songs no problem, after uploading the latest version on iTUNES online. I closed the program and tried again, same message. My cable internet connection works just fine, so I am assuming the problem is on their end. I will check in with you guys to see if someone figured it out.
    Thanks

    Hi, I am having problems with itunes and my ipad........
    I can use my ipad on my laptop but it will not connect to my main PC, I get the error message:
    "itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device"
    I have done all the Apple support ideas including re-installing itunes twice but no joy.
    It used to work a week or so ago and no, I can't think of anything I have done which would have stopped it.
    I have run msconfig and disabled everything but still no connection.
    Anyone got any ideas?????
