My enitre home directory had disappeared!

Hello,
I wanted to free some space on my external hard disk. scince there is no easy way to do it in a mac (apple for god sake fix this) I moved some files in the external hard disk to the thrash then I emptied the tharsh. But to my surprise MY WHOLE home directory is GONE!!!!! everything inside it was DELETED, my photos, my projects, my music. WHAT SHOULD I DO HELP PLEASE!
thanks!

Your account of how you lost data frankly doesn't add up. I don't know what really happened, but it's not what you think.
Don't do any more work with the computer until you have a working backup solution. To have no backups more recent than a month ago is inexcusable. I suggest you use Time Machine with another external drive.
Once you've backed up, please launch the Disk Utility application, select your internal drive, and run "Verify Disk." If any errors are found, insert the installation DVD that came with the computer and boot from it by restarting and holding down the C key at the chime until the installer screen appears. DO NOT install. From the menu bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. Again select the internal drive, and this time run "Repair Disk." Repeat until there are no more errors.

  • Home directory has disappeared - help!

    I have just logged on to my MacBook and received a message to say that it can't find my home directory - it's just not there in the Users folder.
    I am the main user (administrator). There is one other user of the computer who has an account and her folder is there, as is 'Shared' and another folder with my user ID, but with a '1' appended to the end.
    What has happened - any help gratefully received...

    My 2 cents, most OS X gurus will tell you not to run as an administrator. Keep one or 2 admin users on tap, one for installing/etc. and one as a "control." Run day-to-day ops as a standard user.
    This is better security and keeps you from making mistakes without entering a password.
    You can do this by:
    1)Backing up! Always do this before making changes to your system.
    2)Create 1 or 2 new admin accounts. I would make 2 new admin accounts. Name one "Control" and the other something like "Owner."
    3)Log into "Owner" and change your old account to a standard user.
    4)I would verify permissions at least twice after you do this to get any bugs out.
    5)Restart, log in as your old (now standard) account.
    Keep the "Owner" password handy for when you need to install/make changes/etc to your system.
    Don't use "Control" except for just that, to see if a problem affects that account as well as other accounts.

  • Link Home directory

    Hi all,
    I've got probleme concerning user home directory.
    My MAC is integrated to my Active Directory. All works fine except home directory.
    My home is big (>80 Go) and takes long time to be copied on the new home directory. Is there a way to link the original home directory (local session) to the new AD Account ? By this way, I won't have to copy all datas...
    Thank you,
    Olivier

    If you install ntfs-3g from the extra repository, you should be able to mount NTFS partitions as root. IIRC, partitions mounted this way will be owned by root, but have full access for everyone (777).
    I think there also is a package in the AUR which allows you to mount NTFS as a non-root user.
    EDIT: Yup, there is. If you have aur/ntfs-3g-fuse installed, you should be able to mount NTFS partitions as a normal user. I just tested it; works fine for me.
    I have no problem with mounting as such. What I meant was I can't write to the partition. If with ntfs-3g I can, then I'll try it out. Thanks!
    Edit: I've just tried it out and it works! Cheers . Mounting it to the home directory had issues (user settings being discarded), so I took your advice and mounted it somewhere else. Now I just want to know how to hide Windows hidden/system files.

  • Shifting of home directory possible ?

    i went through a lot of reading before i ventured into installation of arch. i installed from the august release and have successfully upgraded to current september 7 release.
    mistakes i commited....
    i wanted to install home on a seperate partition and i had mounted so in usb as instructed. but some how my home directory is residing in the same root partition and the /dev/sda7 which i allocated for /home is empty. further more, i am unable to access that partition from my home as it say i dont have permissions....
    how to make the partition accessible. and is it possible to shift the home directory from current / partition to /home ? [ in my case it is /dev/sda5 for / and /dev/sda7 for home.
    finally, i wish to access the widnows partition in read/write mode. i am able to just open files as read only and i cant save any file there. the other ntfs partion which is empty is also not accesible from arch. how to make that accesible ? both in read/write modes.

    If you *just* edit fstab, your current home directory will be masked by the home partition when you reboot.
    One easy way to avoid this would be:
    1) edit fstab appropriately
    2) boot the live install media
    3) mount / and /home but mount home somewhere different. For example:
    mkdir /mnt/root
    mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/root
    mkdir /mnt/home
    mount /dev/sdaY /mnt/home
    4) move /mnt/root/home/<username> to /mnt/home/<username>
    5) reboot
    That way, the ownership and permissions on your home directory will just be moved along with the directory itself and you shouldn't find anything mysteriously disappearing.
    followed the rules and edited the fstab successfully.... i rebooted and i am able to even access the ntfs partition, thanks to ntfs-3g.
    observations:
    i find /home in root file system as well as the newly shifted partition for /home (sda7)
    i could also boot easily without any problem
    i find that the user exists in both places and the file manager dolphin shows the default first left pane content as Home (which i presume is the root file system /home/USER) i click on the partition 24 GB filesystem (/dev/sda7) and that also shows my user folder.
    to double check on whats happening, i created a dummy-test file using nano and saved it to my home directory. then i opened the Home as well as 24 gb filesystem home. both folders contained the test file !
    it sort of created mirror? is it ok if i delete the /home foler from the root file system ?
    i wanted a seperate home partition but dont think i need a mirror !
    CORRECTIONS:
    i noticed its not a mirror, double checked with right clicking and checking out with properties and amount of space available / used. it will be less confusing if these 2 lists (24 gb and 29 gb is not displayed in the bottom part of the left pane in dolphin !

  • FileSync Failure On Mobile Account Home Directory

    Hardware
    Server
    Mac Mini Mid-2012, OS X 10.9.5, Server 3.1.2, OpenDirectory ON, HomeDirectory: /Volumes/HomeFolders/Users
    Client
    iMac 21.5-inch, Late 2012, OS X 10.9.5, MobileAccount
    Network
    Server exists on a foreign subnet. Client binds to OD Replica on local network. Authentication works without issue. SSH connections to Server work flawlessly. SCP can be used to move files across the network without issue.
    Situation
    User account automatically creates a mobile profile on any system used. This is set in Workgroup Manager for all users of this User's type.
    The local machine has successfully created a Mobile Account for the user, and User is able to use the machine without complication, except that User complains none of his personal files are present.
    Home Sync reports last sync as being "Incomplete".
    Attempted Corrections
    The log file had indicated that the synchronization process was being cancelled by the next synchronization which started automatically after 20 minutes. To correct this problem, I changed the HomeSync settings to start only on "Manual" requests.
    After this change, I observed that the log file that a file was missing.  I ran SCP to duplicate the home folder on the local machine, replacing the home folder that had been already created.  I no longer find the missing file issue.
    I found an article suggesting that deleting the .FileSync folder from the local and remote home folders would force the system to re-evaluate the status of the sync.  I deleted these folders in order to allow the system to recreate them.  The system continues to have Incomplete home sync processes.
    Help Required
    I am unable to interpret the remaining EXCEPTION lines in the log file.  I appreciate any help deciphering the next steps in fixing the Home Sync process.  I appreciate any tips or advice on what causes Home Sync to fail in these situations, and if any person has information on how to create a local mirror that would be referenced for the HomeSync rather than the main server, that information would be greatly appreciated.

    Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Home directory is not being backed up in Time Machine

    Problem: It turns out my home directory does not have any backups in Time Machine for the last year.  I've never received any error message indicating it wasn't doing the full backup.
    Goal: I'd like to get Time Machine to back up my home folder (which contains 100% of the content I care about) again, ideally in a way where I can keep my history from the last time it backed up successfully.
    How I found out:
    - I opened Time Machine and realized all the "pink bars" were dimmed all the way back up to Sept. 2011 when I navigated to my home folder or any folder within it.
    - I cloned a file within my home folder, did a manual Time Machine back up, opened Time Machine and verified that the backup volume did not contain the cloned file.
    - I did this again while watching the Console and verified that it did not make a large enough backup to include the cloned file.
    - I explored all the backups in Finder and realized that indeed all the backups that corresponded to the dimmed pink bars in Time Machine had no home folder.
    - I did an "ls -a" in the backup volume in Terminal and realized that it was not the case that the home directory was present but merely hidden.
    What I've tried:
    - I created a new admin account, logged into that and did a manual Time Machine backup from there.  The new account was backed up, while the original home directory still wasn't.  This continues to be true in subsequent backups made while logged into the main account.
    - I examined the exclusions list in Time Machine preferences.  The only items were the backup volume itself and another partition of that external drive I use for other backups, as expected.
    - I did a "Full Reset of Time Machine" (http://pondini.org/TM/A4.html), with a reboot before re-enabling Time Machine.  The plist file did change to become much simpler, but the home folder is still not being backed up.
    Other notes:
    - I run Dropbox, and have those contents in a folder one level under the home directory
    - I run Git
    - The existing backups have only used 500GB or so of a 1TB partition, so it's not filling up.
    - I ran Verify Disk in Disk Utility on both my backup volume and the mac's HD.  The backup volume appeared OK, but the mac HD was "found corrupt and needs to be repaired".  I could boot into the Recovery HD and repair it, but I feel like this is a risk and I'd like to have a working backup before I do that (I don't have another external HD around to make a temporary backup).  Could the corrupted drive be the reason Time Machine has been silently skipping the home folder?
    - My home folder is named "apple".  Might this be a problem?  I'd rename it, but that's a risk and I'd like a verified backup before doing that.
    - The Time Machine plist file in /Library/Preferences is pretty hard to read in pico, TextEdit, etc (maybe this is normal?)
    I've scoured the forums and pondini's very thorough troubleshooting pages to no avail.  Please let me know if anyone has ideas.  Thanks.

    Latest update: Bought a new external harddrive, set that up as the new Time Machine volume, but got the exact same results (all but my main user directory are backed up).  This is after another Time Machine reset (deleting the .plist), starting up in Safe Mode, and trying to initiate the backup from both the account that doesn't get backed up and another administrator account.
    Here is some of the output from the Console when filtering messages for "backupd":
    10/5/12 2:51:23.572 AM com.apple.backupd[13529]: Backup content size: 481.57 GB excluded items size: 11.31 GB for volume Macintosh HD
    10/5/12 2:51:23.572 AM com.apple.backupd[13529]: Found 1437613 files (470.25 GB) needing backup
    10/5/12 2:51:23.573 AM com.apple.backupd[13529]: 564.3 GB required (including padding), 1.5 TB available
    10/5/12 2:51:23.581 AM com.apple.backupd[13529]: Waiting for index to be ready (100)
    10/5/12 3:40:33.297 AM com.apple.backupd[13529]: Copied 763432 files (21.54 GB) from volume Macintosh HD.
    Put the relevant parts in bold.  No messages about why it only backed up 21.54GB when it found 470.25GB that needed to get backed up.
    Does this make sense to anyone??

  • "Mail cannot update your mailboxes because your home directory is full"

    I have a 250 GB hard disk, 4.34 GB of which is in my "Home" folder. (Total HD usage is about 27 GB.) This happened suddenly after Mail had been working fine for eons. I deleted a bunch of files (107 MB) in a "Drafts" folder (none show up in the Mail app's "Drafts" icon), but it made no difference. I re-installed the Mac OS X 10.4.11 combo update... no difference. Mail version is 2.1.3.
    Any help here? I cannot use Mail at all.

    Hey there,
    Have you had a chance to look at this Apple support document relating directly to this issue. Hope it helps.

  • Mail Reports that the home directory is full

    My iBook has Norton Firewall on it and when I connected it to the high speed internet in a hotel room, the Firewall went crazy logging thousands of hits in a few minutes. Eventually the iBook stopped and a multi-lingual message requested that I reboot the iBook.
    In the meantime, I had started the Mail program.
    Once I managed to get the iBook working again, (it took some time and I had to restart the machine with the shift key down), I ran the usual disk clean-up utilities, Disk Utility, DiskWarrior and Drive Genius. The machine then rebooted and everything except mail worked correctly. Mail will not start but instead reports the following:
    Mail cannot update your mailboxes
    because your home directory is full.
    You must free up space in your home folder before
    using Mail. Delete unneeded documents or move
    documents to another volume.
    There is lots of free disk space on this machine and I can work with files with other programs so I think a mail file must be corrupted. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows how to fix this problem.

    My question has been answered by a posting made to another member during the time I was typing in my problem.

  • "Home Directory Full" message "fix doesn't work for me

    Often (no, not always, it's not consistent), I get the dreaded "Home Directory full" message when I launch mail. Mail then quits when I click OK. Normally, if I launch it again right away, it works.
    I tried to use the standard fix (e.g., removing the "Envelope Index" file to the desktop and launching Mail). This did cause a dialog to pup up informing me that I needed to re-index my mail file. I did that, and the process stopped with the progress indicator about two thirds through. I quit Mail and replaced the Mail folder in Library with the backup I had made before getting started.
    Next, I tried the Hoover method (running the vacuum command from the Terminal. My machine grinded away for some time. I don't know how far it got (there is no progress indicator nor any other feedback of any kind), but since nothing happened for a good half hour (with no more disk activity for a long time), I quit that process, too. Get info revealed that the "Envelope Index" file had not been modified at all by this. Again, just to be on the safe side, I replaced the Mail file again with the backup copy.
    Because the re-indexing in my first attempt had stopped while processing my sent items folder, I suspected that this one was the culprit. I therefore attempted to rebuild it (via the menu command in Mail). Much to my surprise, the process actually finished without an error message. However, my sent items folder now contained some 5,200 emails as opposed to the 7,00 or so it should have.
    Then I saved my Mail preferences file to the desktop, made a backup copy of my Mail backup file, and launched Mail. This made the application believe that it was being launched for the first time. I used the Import command and imported only the contents of the Sent Items mailbox, specifying "Other" as the type. This imported 5,225 items; at that point, the progress indicator was showed a fully completed process, even though the "messages" folder contained 7,900 items. Checking things, I found that there was a discrepancy of 9 items (i.e., the last item that showed as having been imported was not the 5,225th item in the "messages" folder, but rather the 5,216th). I thus moved the first 5,216 items from the messages folder into a different folder and tried to import the rest. Much to my surprise, Mail imported the same 5,216 items all over again. This is when I noticed that it does not import from the "messages" folder but rather from the file called "mbox".
    And this is where things stand. I still get the "Home Directory Full" message about once out of two launches of Mail (but never once Mail is up and running). I desperately need to get this fixed as I fear I'm on the brink of a disaster with my mail file.
    One more clue: I cannot be 100% sure, but it seems to me that the problem began when I added a second dot mac email account to my Mail setup (we have a family pack; I always managed the main account and have more recently added one of the sub-accounts to my configuration). I also noticed that sometimes, this second dot Mac account shows up in my list of mailboxes on the left side of the screen, and sometimes it doesn't. Both these accounts are configured to be checked automatically. In addition to these IMAP accounts, I have a half dozen POP3 accounts and some 40 or 50 local mailboxes configured.
    Does anyone know of a utility I can use to rebuild my entire email file instead of just the index? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can manually fix things? I did do the usual stuff already (using disk utility to check the disk, fixing permissions, and so on) without detecting any problems.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.
    Daniel

    You’re welcome.
    When I removed the preference file (com.apple.mail.plist), I also removed
    the folder "Mail" so as to start from scratch completely.
    Well, that’s not what you said in your first post...
    I only use "Other" because I read in one of Apple's notes that one should
    try "Other" in the event that the OS X Mail import failed (which it did).
    This is wrong in the case of Mail 2.x. That has to be an old article. Could you please be more specific as to where exactly did you find it?
    there is a way to actually export the contents of a mailbox as individual
    items that can then be reimported.
    Selected messages can be exported in standard mbox format by doing File > Save As in Mail and choosing Raw Message Source from the Format popup menu. Standard mbox files can be imported into most mail clients. In particular, they can be imported back into Mail doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Other as the data format. Using this format, however, would cause some status flags to be lost (e.g. whether a message has been replied to).
    Locally stored mailboxes can be copied to the Desktop or anywhere else by just dragging them there from Mail itself (for server-stored IMAP mailboxes, copy the messages to locally stored “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail first). These, however, are .mbox folders (not standard mbox files), where messages are stored in individual .emlx files that other mail clients don’t know or care about. They can be imported back into Mail doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format.
    It also explains why the import only brought in 5,200 items instead of the 7,900.
    The question is: where are the others?
    In the Messages folder.
    as I mentioned above, I used disk utility to check the disk and fix permissions, so I did
    not just do the permissions stuff. In my experience, if checking the disk gives you an
    OK result, then there is no point in booting from another disk to perform a repair disk.
    Right. I missed that part of your first post. Sorry.
    if the mbox files are no longer needed, can they be removed?
    Yes. The only items within a mailbox (i.e. within an .mbox or an .imapmbox folder) used by Mail 2.x are Info.plist and the Messages folder. Any other files you may see there are almost certainly Mail 1.x files that Mail 2.x leaves there after the conversion. This is poorly explained in Mac OS X 10.4 Mail: Some mailbox files used by Mac OS X 10.3 are not deleted after importing. The article only talks about mailboxes in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, but the same can also be said about mailboxes in “POP-”, “IMAP-”, or “Mac-” account folders.
    As long as you keep a backup copy of the old files for a while (at least, until you’re sure everything was converted properly), they can safely be removed from the Mail folder. OnyX has a Cleaning > Misc > Temporary and obsolete items option for getting rid of all those files.
    Note that if you see strangely-named Messages-T0x... folders, these aren’t old files from previous versions of Mail, but rather an indication that there is something amiss. More specifically, these are temporary folders created by Mail 2.x during an import or a reindexing process (e.g. rebuilding a mailbox) that Mail should have deleted when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected.
    <hr>
    Here’s the procedure I usually suggest to set up Mail again from scratch:
    1. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
    2. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
    5. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine.
    6. You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    7. If Mail works fine now and you had any messages stored in local mailboxes, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop. Import the Mailboxes folder first, then each of the POP-username@mailserver account folders, if any.
    8. If .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
    As a result of doing the above, some messages may be duplicated. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • How can I change the name of my home directory?

    When I first set up my Macbook Pro a year ago, I put my first and last name. I didn't like this and later changed the login name to just my first name, but the "home" directory is still listed as my full name on the side panel in Finder windows. How can I change this, it won't let me rename that.

    Barney-15E wrote:
    You should have experienced that same effect when you managed to change you login name. How did you change your login name?
    I imagine that has something to do with why everything 'disappeared' when you changed the directory name.
    It's actually pretty simple to change the login name, and it doesn't affect files at all.
    All I did was change the field labeled "user name".

  • Portable Home Directory no longer works on Lion bound to Active DirectoryAD

    Hi, All,
    I look after about 30 MacBook Air/Pro connected to a predominantly Windows corporate network.
    A few months back, I installed a MacOS Server running OpenDirectory and Software Update Services for managing the MacBooks - they are configured in the standard "magic triangle" configuration, bound both to the Active Directory (running on a handfull of Windows 2003-R2 servers) and OpenDirectory; they are configured to use the Mac Server for Software Updates, and with Portable Home Directories replicated on a network share point (through AFP) to keep a backup of the user's data.
    When all the MacBooks were running Snow Leopard, everything was running fine... but the last couple of laptops purchased came with Lion and they cannot synchronise their PHD's anymore :-(
    I have spent a lot of time trying to pin-point the problem, including replicating a whole test-network with its own AD/OD and client Snow-Leopard/Lion laptops to try various configurations... my conclusions so far are that:
    1- using Snow Leopard clients, it just works
    2- using a Lion client, when the network user account is configured in the default Users O.U. on Active Directory, it just works
    3- using a Lion client, when the network user account is configured in another O.U. than Users (e.g. Company-Name or External-Contractors), then the PHD syncinc doesn't work at all
    4- the failure symptoms are a popup window when trying to do a manual sync saying that "your network home at (null) does not allow writing" - if automatic syncing is configured through MCX, it just fails silently
    5- when PHD syncing fails, I can log on using the network account, manually mount the share point used for the network home in the Finder and read and write to it without a problem; so it' not a permission problem, but the fact that the network home directory is (null)
    6- I have traced the root cause to the FileSyncAgent process which raises an exception at startup - here's what I see as the salient lines from the logfile (i've edited out the username):

    7- if I use the same user account from a Snow-Leopard client, the mountPeerVolume finds the remote home_dir, mounts it and happilly trawls through the two directories to figure out what needs to be copied; I get something along the lines of:
    0:: [12/02/08 18:44:15.344] Starting manual sync of "HomeSync_Mirror".
    1:: [12/02/08 18:44:15.363] -[SPeer_FS_PHD mountPeerVolume]: We've been given remote home path "/Volumes/[USERNAME]".
    1:: [12/02/08 18:44:15.363] -[SPeer_FS_PHD mountPeerVolume]: Remote home path exists.
    1:: [12/02/08 18:44:15.363] -[SPeer_FS_PHD mountPeerVolume]: Final path to PHD remote home root = "/Volumes[USERNAME]"
    8- if I use a Lion client and a user account configured in the Users O.U. on Active Directory, it works similarly well
    9- in the failing use-case, if I run a "dscl xxx -read /Users/xxx" to verify that the DirectoryServices deamon returns some information, all looks good: I get all my A.D. user details, including email config and network home_directory, the MCX payload, etc
    10- the only difference that I can see when running dscl between the "working use-case" and the "failing use-case" is that the Attribute for the network home directory is called HomeDirectory (working) or OriginalHomeDirectory (failing) - but the actual value is present and correct in both cases
    11- I have enabled SMB as well as AFP file sharing to ensure that it's not a protocol problem rather than the share point itself that causes problem - no difference
    12- I have upgraded the MacOS Server to 10.7.3 (from 10.7.2) - no difference
    13- I have upgraded the Lion client from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 - no difference
    14- I have tried to manually configure the Directory Search path on the Lion client to map HomeDirectory to OriginalHomeDirectory - either the mapping didn't work or it's not the real cause of the problem, as again: no difference.
    15- I have contacted AppleCare, raised a case with all the details above, been escalated from level 1 to 2 and 3 - and basically have been told that customers have reported very similar problems & that no more detail is available to me as it is a Directory Services related problem - if I want to take it further with Apple, I need Enterprise OS Support (and hence $1000s per year - and no real guarantee of result)
    [thanks to anyone who's read until now]...
    So my questions are (as I can't believe that I'm the only one using "proper O.U.'s" for managing users in Active Directory):
    - has anyone experienced this before?
    - does someone know of a workaround (other than "stick to SnowLeo" or "redesign your whole A.D."!)?
    - can someone help me figure out where the FileSyncAgent process tries to get its remote home directory from - as this might point to a solution?
    Many thanks

    I was able to fix the issue here. Steps Taken:  From the comand line I ran
    dscl /Search read /Users/jdoe HomeDirectory
    It returned # No such key: HomeDirectory
    This was the big clue.... it should have returned
    HomeDirectory: <home_dir><url>afp://files.hihllc.lan/Users/jdoe</url><path>/</path></home_dir>
    I unbound the Mac from AD and ran the following command in terminal.
    dscacheutil -flushcache
    I then went into OS X sharing preferences and renamed the computer slightly, so it would create a new computer record in AD. I rebound the machine to AD making sure in Directory Utility Advanced, under User Experience that Force local home directory on start up disk was unchecked and Network protocol to be used was AFP.
    I then ran
    dscl /Search read /Users/jdoe HomeDirectory
    and it returned
    HomeDirectory: <home_dir><url>afp://files.hihllc.lan/Users/jdoe</url><path>/</path></home_dir>
    I had the user reboot... which was necessary. When he logged in HomeSync fired up. He had quite a few conflicts, so I told him to select use files on this computer for all conflicts.
    I checked the FileSyncAgent.logs and it was good.
    Let me know if this fixes your issue.
    Thanks,
    Ray

  • OD users cannot log on without server home directory

    I am new to OD and am trying to configure a working setup for a few Macs on the network. The server is set up as an OD master, and while we are running Active Directory, the Mac server is not integrated into the AD network. DHCP and DNS are handled by the server that provides AD.
    I have set up a few test users and bound a Mac to the OD server for testing. I've found that if I don't specify a home directory for a particular user in workgroup manager (i.e. I just leave it at (none)), the user cannot log on to the bound Mac. The log in window begins to slide as if it is accepting the password, then stops and shakes and brings me back to the login window without any error message. If I specify a home directory on the server, it will then accept the username and password, show that I am logging in as said user, then display the message, "You are unable to log in to the user account [user] at this time. Logging into the account failed because an error occurred."
    I'm guessing the error message relates to a permissions issue with the way the home directories are set up. But honestly, I'd rather the users just have their home directories stored locally rather than on the server. How do I configure it so that the users are able to log on and their home directories are stored locally?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided!

    After playing around with the system some more, I found that I had to explicitly specify the local home directory. I set it to /Users/ and everything seems to be working now.

  • Logging in as guest destroyed main account home directory.

    Just quietly, I'm about ready to smash every piece of Apple hardware I have to pieces.
    1. I set up guest account access
    2. Logged out of my account. So far so good.
    3. Logged into guest account. All normal.
    4. Logged out of guest account.
    5. Logged into my account. "What is this I don't even..."
    6. ????
    7. PROFIT!
    Upon logging back into the main account, I found the default desktop.
    "Strange" I thought to myself, "Still, I'm sure my old home directory is there, renamed as something else, ho-ho!"
    It wasn't. My entire home directory is gone. Kaput. Aether.
    Good thing you had time-machine set up, you say? I didn't. I am still waiting for my order to arrive with my sweet, external backup storage. After all, what's the worst that could happen in 3 days waiting for an external hdd for time capsule, eh?
    So, I've lost iTunes library, an assignment for Uni, notes and quotes for my house renovations, everything.
    Does anyone want to buy an iMac, Macbook, 3GS and an Apple TV? Some items may have gnaw-marks on them, but others are in good nick and less than a year old.

  • My printers works fine on my home network but disappears on a remote desktop terminal connection

    As I don't really know how to post a general addition to the knowledge base, I'm doing in Jeopardy style.  Here is the question to the above answer.  Well close enough.
    Many people have reported all over the net issues with printers working just fine on their home network  but disappearing when they connect to a server via RDT.  There are some legit updates needed where windows did not see anything but LPT and COM ports for printer re-direction assignment.  There are Mr. Fix it's for those and registry patches.  When all of that fails, the information highway seems to dead end.
    Here is what I learned today via 2 specific printers:  HP1022 and HP2840 lasjerjets.
    After many months of frustration and 7 1/2 hours with Microsoft advanced prof support I've finally pinned down this printer and a slew of others.  This problem as far as I have come across deals exclusively with HP printers.  In simple terms:  the drivers are flawed.  This 1022 is a prime example.  It prints locally and via TCP/IP just fine. I have about 7 other printers and dummy printers in my printer folder.  Enter a remote desktop session and ALL of them populate except the 1022.  This shows that the hooks and RDT finders are locating your printers and installing them properly as remote printers.  All except the 1022. 
      Log out of your RDT session: goto the local 1022 setup and change the printer driver to a PCL driver.  I used a 1200 PCL driver.  Now log back into your RDT server and hockus pocus! there is your printer.  Totally un-usable because the driver will not run this printer.  Caveat:  each time I did this XP crashed (I couldn't get to the properties TAB anymore -- I had to un-install the 1022 and then re-install it with at least 1 reboot in the process)
    Moving on we go to the HP OfficeJet/LajerJet2840.  Same thing.  It won't pass through as remote printer in RDT.  Go local.  Set the printer driver to AppleLaserWriter8500 and boom. (same logout, change, back in steps) and your LJ2840 shows up and works.
    While I will have to wait until tomorrow I am betting that this will fix the exact same problem with the HP Officejet 8500A all in one with the exact same problem.
    Hey HP?  Whats with the drivers??
    Another work around if you have a static enough environment is to install your local printer that will not show up under RDT on the server, and then point the port to your fixed IP on your router, and passthru port 9100 to your locally installed printer that is failing.  You can now be on RDT and chooses the network printer that is printing to the TCP address of your home (or office) router.

  • Time Machine always switches to my home directory. What to do?

    D'oh,  need to restore a file, which happens to be in a root folder of my iMac's HD.   No prob, Time Machine is on duty!
    The usual procedure:  In Finder, bring the containing folder to the front, select the file, go to the clock icon at he upper right, pull down, and choose "Enter Time Machine".  TM takes over the display with the distinctive Star-Field background and offers to restore in that folder. 
    Up until today that that's worked in every version of MacOS that includes Time Machine.
    Today:  No matter what I do --including after a system restart-- Time Machine switches the front-most window to display my home directory, first, THEN goes into Star-Field mode.  
    Note 1: Yeah, I can work-around by navigating to my HD and then to the specific file I need to restore.
    Note 2:  This problem occurs even when the file I need to restore is in the hierarchy of my home directory.
    So:  Why does TM now insist on switching to my home directory and what to do about it?   Without endangering my existing files or TM backups?
    TIA

    I'd plug in and run a Time Machine backup about once a day, on average. I've been scouring the logs, and the only thing I notice is the "deep traversal" message, which I'd expect occasionally as it needs to reindex files (especially after a restore).
    This also happens if the TM disk isn't dismounted, etc., exactly the way TM expects; or if there's an abnormal power-down. It means TM isn't sure about just exactly what is where, so it looks at every file and folder to be sure.
    I've run long S.M.A.R.T. scans on the drive (via smartctl on a Linux LiveCD and SeaTools via a Windows installation), I've run Repair Disk (via Disk Utility) and I've defragmented the filesystem (iDefrag). All the diagnostics come back healthy, and iDefrag had little to do. My gut tells me the drive is failing, but I can't actually prove it. My next step is to reformat the drive and create a new filesystem; I'll see if Time Machine is happy with a clean start.
    I'm a MobileMe subscriber, so I downloaded and set up the old .Mac Backup.app, and will be running that daily to shove my important files up to my iDisk (and probably to various other locations), in case backupd decides to choke again, at least I have a backup to my backup.
    Good plan. I run CCC daily, in addition to TM's hourly backups, and use Backup to iDisk daily for fairly small stuff, plus others to DVD/RWs kept in my safe deposit box. May seem like overkill, but I've learned, usually the hard way, that when it comes to backups, paranoia is prudent!
