A Mac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) will no longer allow AD users to login whether they are already cached or never logged on before.  Login box just shakes?

Some updates ran the day before the issue started occuring.  However as stated above AD/Mobile users cannot login whether they are cached or new to the system.

    Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

    If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
    The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated.  Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
    SELLING A MAC A
    Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
    Selling an Old Mac:
    • When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
    • Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
    Internet Recovery:
    • In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
    • Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
    iLife Apps:
    • When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
    • Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
    • It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
    SELLING A MAC B
    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
    A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
    B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
    2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
    3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
    side.
    4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
    sure to opt for that.
    Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive. 
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
    1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
    2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
    3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
    4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
    5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
    A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
    1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
    2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
    3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
    Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    4. Install OS X.
    5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
    6. Shutdown the computer.
    B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
    it is three times faster than wireless.
    1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
    Utilities window appears.
    2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button. 
    3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
    on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
    and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
    7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

  • How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

    I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz  Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere,  even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
    Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."   I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

    If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
    As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.
    Regards.

    I am unable to open my downloaded library books in ADE.  I have a Mac running Snow Leopard and want to transfer the books to a Kobo reader.  Was able to load books perfectly until recently.  I have tried trashing ADE and re-installing but have received the message that the version of ADE will not run with my current operating system.  Tried resetting the Kobo reader and thought maybe it was not authorized but it appears in ADE when I plug it in.  Any help would be greatly appreciated - getting very frustrated!

  • Any new info about being able to sync my iphone 4 with the Palm Desktop on macs running snow leopard?

    Any new info about being able to sync my iphone 4 with the Palm Desktop on macs running snow leopard? Why doesn't someone take a a few hours and write a workaround so I can sync all my info including my Palm notes to my iphone via Palm Desktop without putting it in the clouds or making it complicated?  : (

    I feel your pain.  I am a long time user of Palm Desktop/Claris Organizer and have an iPhone that I really can't sync except by doing an export and import into iCal, etc.  You might try Missing Sync.  I have been working intermittently with writing a replacement for Palm Desktop, but I've only gotten as far as dumping out the information for everything (except repeating appointments) as an XML file.

  • Hi I buying a secondhand I mac 2007 snow leopard 10.6.3 will I be able to upgrade this ? Confused as need to this

    Hi I buying a secondhand I mac 2007 snow leopard 10.6.3 will I be able to upgrade this ? Confused as new to this thanks

    You should certainly update it to 10.6.8 via software update. As for for upgrading, it depends on what Mac it is.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Problems syncing iCal btwn iPod Touch and Mac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

    Last fall I purchased an iPod Touch 32 GB, now running 6.1.2 iOS. I have an iMac 2007 running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  I was looking forward to being able to sync my many iCal calendars and take it on the road with me, so that I could make appointments and have them then be available to me on my Mac. I have synced using usb cable, and can get contacts, music, apps synced just fine: but the Calendar has been rather choosy about what it will sync. Sometimes it will give transfer to the iPod all the appts on one calendar (for example, Medical, which lists all my medical appts) and sometimes it will only give me some of those, with no apparent pattern as to why some are transferring and some are not. Other calendars never sync at all. In the beginning I was able to make an appt on the iPod and have it transfer to the Mac,but it stopped doing that within the first month of purchase.
    I have spoken with Apple Care twice on this topic, and both times the conversation ended with the saying they would have to send this up to someone more knowledgeable, who would assuredly get back to me. I have not received any contact from their supervisors/other departments to work on this. The first Apple Tech Support person thought it was due to the new iOS, and assured me they were working out bugs on that, but further updates have not addressed the issue.
    Most folks seem to think the best solution is upgrading to Lion/Mountain Lion and syncing through the Cloud. But I *like* Snow Leopard, and what I've heard/seen about the newer operating systems isn't making me want to jump on that bandwagon unless there's really no other way around it. I've even seen some problems syncing calendars through the Cloud.
    Has anyone found a solution for this that allows me to continue to run Snow Leopard?
    Many thanks.
    A

    Problem fixed. I have 3 wireless mice connected to my Mac Mini through a USB bus, and started to get conflicts, disconnected all of them, re-connected my Apple bluetooth mouse and it all snapped back in to place, also didn't help that earlier, my wife caught the cat walking across my keyboard. That problem solved by closing off the office when I'm not there, and cat expelled from the area.
    Everything working as normal.

  • Why doesn't Firefox respond to the green zoom button on my Mac running snow leopard?

    For some reason my Firefox is not responding to the green zoom button on upper left of my Mac's screen (running snow leopard). The screen fonts, graphics etc. are way too large , and I would like to reduce size of all design elements -- especially for AOL -- using this feature or some other feature. BTW -- the green zoom button works for Safari, although the text and graphics size is a readable, small size in various screen sizes on Safari.
    Can you help? Barry

    Try to modify the ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled pref on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the touch pad work better.
    Close and restart Firefox after changing the ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled pref.
    *<b>about:config</b> page: ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled (-1)(-1:autodetect; 0:off; 1:on)
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Can I connect a Mac running Snow Leopard to Windows Small Business Server

    I'm running the OSX 10.6.8 and want to connect to applications running on Windows Small Business Server 2008.  Is this easy or difficult or impossible?

    Most Applications intended to run in that fashion would provide a Mac client, a Windows client and a Server component, designed to interact and keep a Master database on the Server up-to-date. Custom database software could also be written for that environment. Perehaps there are options for your package to be used in that fashion, but it would have to be designed-in from the beginning.
    A web Application could also run in that fashion, with only a Web Browser on each computer interfacing to the Server software, which would keep the Master database and allow multiple access over your local Network.

  • Can I use Synch to migrate (import) settings and preferences and history etc. from Firefox 4.0.1 on a PC to a new Mac running Snow Leopard, and if so, how?

    I love Firefox and have relied on it for years. But I'm now planning to move from PC to Mac and would like to keep as much of my Firefox personalization and customization as possible. I have never needed to use the Synch feature before, and I cannot find reliable instructions telling me how to do it in these circumstances. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions? Thanks very much.

    Ubuntu may have moved those three button as well to that control bar.

  • How do I import a large iPhoto library into an iMac running Yosemite without losing the existing division of the library into albums?which file do I look for on the older Mac, running Snow Leopard?

    Import of library

    You don't import one library into another.  Simply copy the library from the older Mac to the Pictures folder on iMac.  If you already have a library on the iMac rename it first.
    Next launch iPhoto on the new iMac with the Option key held down and select the newly copied library.
    If you have photos in the original library on the iMac you can merge that library into the larger, copied library with the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager.  Or if you also have Aperture 3.3 you can use it to merge the two libraries.

  • Running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) will Creative Cloud work?  Which browser will work?

    I currently own Photoshop and I'm thinking about switching to Creative Cloud, especially since I need to add InDesign.
    Do I need to upgrade my computer or can I get away with this old operating system?  (10.6.8)
    I see different system requirements for different versions of InDesign listed, but I don't know if I can choose an older version.  I'm also concerned because I can't upgrade my browser with this old system.  (I've kept this system because I can't afford to upgrade all my various software packages.)  I'm currently running Safari 5.1.10
    Also, I was about to buy the entire suite of Adobe's Garamond Pro, but is it (or part of it) included in InDesign?
    Thank you!

  • JavaFX 2.x support on Mac OSX Snow Leopard

    All,
    Does anyone know if a standalone JavaFX 2.x application can run on Snow Leopard? After digging into the system requirements, I know it's not "officially" supported however it seems odd to me that the largest installed Mac desktop user base is still running Snow Leopard and the premier Java desktop GUI development technology doesn't support it. Are there any show stopping technical reasons why Snow Leopard is being excluded?
    I'm asking only because I'm developing a commercial desktop application and want to fully embrace JavaFX for the presentation layer but Snow Leopard is a requirement at least for the near term.
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
    - Zep

    Richard,
    Thanks for the insight, that makes complete sense to me. The best estimate I can find puts Lion adoption at about 50% of the total Mac desktop install base hence my confusion about the lack of support (even if Apple has moved on). I do understand that you need to draw the line somewhere with OS support, especially if there are critical API's available only in Lion. Hopefully, moving forward from Lion, this will be less of an issue as I want to really push this technology as our cross-platform solution.
    Regards,
    - Zep

  • IMac 5.1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.

    Running Snow Leopard 10.6.  Will Airport extreme work?  Could I manage airport extreme from my iPad or iPhone with the app?  Having issues with the range of our Fios wireless reach and am thinking about Airport Extreme but am concerned that I won't be able to manage it via the iMac we use.

    Yes, assuming that it meets the requirements shown above
    am concerned that I won't be able to manage it via the iMac we use.
    The iMac cannot be used to set up or administer the AirPort Extreme, but an iPhone or iPad that meets the requirements listed above could be used for that purpose.
