Account issues after 10.5 Leopard upgrade

Greetings,
I have a PwrMac-G5 with Pwr PC processors. It's been running OSX 10.4 since day one (2005). This weekend I upgraded to OSX 10.5.4 Leopard.
The upgrade went fine but I wasn't able to log in with my user account and password. (My password is 9 characters)
I went the route of rebooting on the install CD and doing a Reset System Admin password. Now I can log in as Root, and I see the other user accounts, but I don't see any options that let me change the passwords for the user accounts.
Any thoughts on my next step?
Thanks,
Ray

OK. I lost track of what's going on. Since you can't get to the other accounts via the login window, there are only two options I can suggest (there may be a way to do the change via the CLI tools, but I'm not conversant enough to point to a solution). One is to boot again with the install disc and see if you can reset the other account's passwords. i've never had to do that, so I don't know if you can choose them or not. The second is to delete the accounts, saving their data, recreate them using the same username password combos, logging into each one, mounting the saved data disk images, and copying the saved data back to the newly created accounts.

Authorization issue after the Support packs upgrade

We're having problem on authorization issue after the SP upgrade.
One issue if "You are not authorized to call up line item display" using FCH1 and FS10N tcodes.
And the SU53 showing problem on S_TCODE FAGLL03.
How are we going to solve this issue? We dont want to add this missing auth object on all our finance roles.
Thank you in advance.

How can i send you the trace file? What is your email address?
If I were you, I won't do that. Did you not ever sign some confidentiality agreement? I wonder.
Anyhoo... (copy right @ David)
What are the objects been caught in category RC=4, RC=12?
Relate them with functional aspect of the transaction (error screen)
Edited : You can paste RC=4, RC=12 objects here without customer specific value if you want to.

It identifies the network but when open safari or an app requiring internet connection it goes nowhere. Is anyone else having this issue. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. Keep in mind my connection works fine at home.

Update Flash after doing Snow Leopard upgrade

Just as an FYI: I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 this morning. Before the upgrade I had the latest version of Flash (10,0,32,18). After the upgrade I had an earlier one--I don't remember which one exactly, but it was something like 10,0,23,? or so. You can check your Flash version here:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Anyway, be sure to update Flash after you do the Snow Leopard upgrade.

Sounds like you've damaged your system by forcing it to quit and restart in the middle of installing. You probably also had something wrong with your machine that was interfering with the installation in the first place, as the Snow Leopard installer is ordinarily pretty good at failing without damaging anything if something causes it to fail.
I would advise [repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]. If that fails, you'll need to erase and repartition the hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard from scratch. If repair works, but you still can't boot, you probably have corruption in important system files. You could try installing Snow Leopard over it at this point, while booted from the Snow Leopard disk. If repair shows no problems, post back here, as you've got something a little more exotic than simple hard disk damage going on.
Do you have a backup? If not, it's possible all your data might be gone at this point, depending on what exactly has gone wrong with your computer. You can try to back up from Disk Utility running from the Mac OS X install disk... see the Restore tab. You'll need an external hard drive to which to copy.

Issues after returning from Leopard to Tiger, icons and iworld apps!

Hi
After headaches with Leopard i decided enough is enough and returned to Tiger to finish producing a music project.
I did erased teh drive 7 times pass, re installed Tiger and now it does hting i never seen before.
After several hours te icons get all fuzzy, some times i see the last application in the side bar as the icons for music, photos etc, even the drives look like iTunes or whatever app i last used.
Side bar also does not show hard drives at times yet they are on the desk top.
at some point its all nothing but the desktop, applications folders etc, not hard drives at all.
please advise anyone.

From your cell it is very expensive when you wait 25 minutes, i think all 902 are charge by the minute.,
The irony of Spain is that stores now use a 902 number to charge if you ask whats in sock as well! while the average person makes 1000€ and the costs of eveyrthing electronic is not converted from Dollars!
a $1500 mac a is 1500€ which really is 2000€, no tax breaks from shipping to another state, there are no other states but countries!

Reporting issues after SP1 to R2 upgrade

Hi Guys.
I'm having an issue with reporting after upgrading System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 to R2 CU2.
For some reason SSRS is not allowing users to logon from a remote workstation. The Reporting node in the Monitoring workspace does not list any reports. The SSRS reporting portal prompts for authentication but does not accept any credentials. Both
are accessible when logged on to the Primary Site Server where SQL and SSRS are installed.
After some investigation I’ve determined that this is a permissions issue and this is where I need your combined wisdom. At first I thought this might be as simple as adding the proper RBAC permissions but if it was permissions issue for my account then
why would it be accessible from the site server but not a remote client….
Some techy info for you.
With the R2 Upgrade a few new permissions were required for the SSRS service account in order for RBAC to work with Reporting. The service account has been added to the Domain Built in group “Windows Authorization Access” and has the “Read TokenGroupsGlobalAndUniversal”
AD attribute set to “Allow”. These are the permissions Microsoft has listed for the Service Account in the TechNet Library.
The SRSRP.log has a ton of errors that I believe may be the cause of the problem. The error is “Unable to translate SID [SID for Account] error: [Some or all identity references could not be translated.] SMS_STS_REPORTING_POINT 9/9/2014
4:51:00 PM 5300 (0x14B4)” which I believe to be a logon failure error. Each time a user try's to authenticate with the site this error is generated.
So I’m thinking this may be a permissions issue with the Service Account that runs SSRS or the SQL Engine may also require a Service Account.
At this point I’m thinking the SQL Engine may also require an AD service account, but before I create another Service Account I wanted to consult the IT Geniuses and see what kind of incite you may have.
Thanks for your help,
Gabe

Hi Guys,
One of our SQL DBA's was able to resolve the issue. It turned out to be a Kerberos Authentication problem with SSRS.
Cause :
The problem was due to Kerberos authentication. Kerberos is an authentication protocol that allows clients that create authentication tokens to associate a specific destination to that token. In this case there is a mismatch between the destination
specified in the token and the report server process configuration. Due to this mismatch, the underlying Kerberos authentication scheme supported by Windows prevents report server from authenticating the user.
Resolution:
1-Remove RSWindowsNegotiate and ensure RSWindowsNTLM is specified in the file rsreportserver.config and save the config file 2-Stop and start SQL server and reporting services.

Issues after Tiger to SL Upgrade

About 5 months ago I upgraded from Tiger to SL... although Tiger never gave me any issues I wanted to be on the latest version. I have an older MAC so needed to upgrade via the (expensive) Box Set. I did the change via the "upgrade" and not the complete install (erase disk). Since then upgrade my MAC has given me issues... it freezes at times requiring a hard shutdown... other times the graphics do not refresh.. the desktop icons tun into horizontal lines... again requiring a hard shutdown. I ran the Apple hardware test and no errors were identified.
I can not find the common cause... there does not appear to be any common events before the problems. The only key change in the use of the MAC is my wife's use of FACEBOOK games... especially the farming ones... I've installed FireFox for her just for those games as she say's the games don;t work right in Safari (and of course not on the iPad)...
Do I need to do a complete install of SL? Any other suggestions ? Thanks in advance...

DaddyPaycheck, could you please explain why you ask what external peripherals he has attached. I'm not being snarky — I am just curious because I also had random freezing of programs after upgrading to Snow Leopard from Tiger. After a month of trying various fixes, including more than one clean install and taking my computer into a shop (they could not replicate my problem, and my computer passed their diagnostic tests with no issues), I gave up on Snow Leopard and reinstalled Tiger, which runs just fine on my computer.
Anyway, the fact that my computer seemed to run fine on Snow Leopard in the shop made me wonder if my peripherals were the culprit, since they weren't attached when the computer was in the shop. All I have hooked up to my computer is an HP Deskjet F4180 printer and a Lacie external hard drive. BUT, while they are plugged into the USB ports on my iMac, both are ALWAYS turned off unless I'm actually using them. Could simply having these external peripherals plugged into my computer — and not actually being "on" — cause the problem I was having?
I've been monitoring Apple Discussions for a couple of months now, and plenty of people are experiencing graphics-related problems and freezing using Snow Leopard, so it seems the problem goes deeper than just the peripherals. In my own case, I'm guessing my mid-2007 iMac just isn't up to running Snow Leopard despite Apple's insistence it is. I don't know what I would do if it turned out the problem actually is caused by my peripherals. After having already spent a couple of hundred dollars on Snow Leopard and iLife 11 and the computer repair shop, I don't feel like buying a new printer and/or external hard drive just so I can use Snow Leopard. Still, as I said, I'm curious to know what you know about whether peripherals could be causing our problems.
Thanks.

Bluetooth issue after 7.4.1. upgrade

After upgrading my MacBook to Lion 7.4.1, Bluetooth is behaving badly. I have been using Bluetooth to send files between my MacBook and iMac for three years, with no problems. Now, I never know whether they are going to communicate with each other. Sometimes, they both indicate that they are connected to the other, sometimes they don't, but even when showing connected, they sometimes cannot transfer a file. Each claims that the other is to blame.
Sometimes, a file will make it across the Great Divide, but the journey seems to take longer than it should.
I can see that others are having Bluetooth/Lion issues, also. Is this going to be fixed or should I revert to Snow Leopard?
I also am upset that I have to set up my Mail from scratch, but that's a subject for a different discussion area.

An update on this.
I upgraded to 7.4.2, and this has not resolved the issue.
What appears to be happening is that the sync starts, but then crashes after X number of items (varies each time). This seems to be at the point itunes switches from the 'copying item X of Y'/progress bar screen to the 'syncing ipod..' splash message (the little '>' arrow in the top display and the syncing logo next to the ipod in the left pannel both dissapear).
On occassion, if I hit 'sync' again, it picks up where it left off, but on most occasion I need to dissconnect the ipod, and reconnect it to complete the sync (sometimes 2 or three times).
This is happening with both Ipods I own. I have run the ipod diagnostics, and it does not show any errors.
7.3.2 was working fine - issue only occurs since the 7.4.X upgrades.
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be/how to fix?
Regards,
Dave.

Spotlight problem after Tiger to Leopard Upgrade

Since I upgraded my Macbook Pro 15" from Tiger to Leopard, Spotlight never worked. Initially I didn't mind too much but now I want to get it work.
I tried all suggestions I found in this forum (see list below) to no avail.
It seems Mac OS cannot index the system disk.
Any Terminal command like mdutil or mdimport have no effect and return no info. As a check, I ran the same utilities on my iMac (same Leopard version, but native) and they do in fact work as expected, as well as Spotlight. Another example: mdfind works on my iMac but return nothing on my MBP.
If I try the regular way, when I write my search string in the Spotlight window I just get nothing on my MBP.
I tried the OnyX features for Spotlight:
- Maintenance/Rebuild/Spotlight Index seems to do something, but in fact it does nothing useful
- Parameters/Spotlight/Options: Enable Indexing the Startup-Disk makes an attempt to enable it and switches immediately back to disabled. No way to keep the option checked. Also removed the Font cache from OnyX as suggested in some post - null.
Some attempts I made:
- used Disk Utility to check the disk (no repair needed)
- used Disk Utility to repair permissions: there are many that are always repaired... this makes me feel the problem might in fact be in the permission area. But after many repair the result is always null.
- added the start-up disk to the Privacy area in Spotlight Prefs, and later on removed - null
- trashed com.apple.spotlight.plist pref user prefs - a new one was created but no effect
- removed /.Spotlight-V100 from terminal - a new one was created but no effect
- used mdutil -E and -i on and off - I always get the message "/: Indexing and searching disabled"
- mdimport -L or -A or -X return nothing (on my iMac they return the list of plugins, schema etc.)
- rebooted many times also in safe mode - null
- the problem exists also for the other user on the same MBP
- tried OnyX as described above.
No effect!!
Now my question is: what can I try next ?
I'm sure there is some parameter somewhere (some .plist ?) that can re-enable Spotlight. But which one and where ?
Thanks in advance
Piero

Take a look at Spotless
http://www.fixamac.net/software/spot2/index.php
It deals mainly with Spotlight indexes, but it also contains some diagnostics - its description includes the following:
Spotless will automatically find and delete the "mds-crash-state" file from selected volumes. The file may be created if the Metadata Server crashed or was unexpectedly closed during the indexing process. The presence of this file can prevent Spotlight from indexing the volume in the future.
Spotless allows you to see exact size of the index directory on each volume.
Spotless also includes an on/off switch for Spotlight.

Networking issues after a move and upgrade

I just moved, and did a massive system upgrade, moving over fully to systemd.
Everything works fine, except my network seems to crap out after a random period of time (sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes it stays up for days).
ive used different ports on my router, different ethernet cables, so im pretty sure the issue is with my laptop
i used the ethernet-static script and put in my own network info (using 10.0.0.0/24 network), a correct default gateway, and working nameservers.
on my main computer i have MPD going over a SMB share, and sometimes it just stops working. When i open up Wireshark i see im getting ICMP Dest unreachable errors.
What could be causing this? Any ideas?
Last edited by ptchinster (2013-03-10 19:16:56)

No. Something is wrong with modprobe I guess. I noticed yesterday that the line that usually looked lieke this
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A7:27:5D:A2
was like this
eth1-00 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-10-A7-27-5D-A2-00-00-00-00 or something like that
So I did a manual modprobe 8139too and I got
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A7:27:5D:A2
I changed the settings in rc.conf from eth1 to eth2, restarted the networking script and the network was OK. But this doesn's anwer the question what was wrong with it in the first place...

Sleep issues after 10.4.7 upgrade

I upgraded to 10.4.7 immediately after it was issued and I had no issues. A couple of weeks later the FAX software Pagesender would not logout on a scheduled shutdown. I ran Diskwarrior to repair the directory and I thought ev3erything was OK but then all of a sudden my computer would not wake from sleep. By pushing numberous buttons it the screen would wake but the cursor was frozen. I checked my energy saver settings and noticed it was set to spin down the discs when possible. I unchecked this option and I thought that the problem was gone. I was away for a couple of days and I keep the computer on during the day as I receive some faxes and when I tried to acces the computer on my return I was back to square one. The only way I can get the computer to function normally is to do a hard restart. Any thoughts? This condition applys to my G4 desktop machine

Can you clarify if you've checked for any updates to your FAX software?
If you open Applications> Utilities> Console, go to the View menu, and slect show log list, does anything suggestive show up from around the time of one of the crashes? Look in system.log and console.log, in /Library/logs/Crash Reporter, and in /var/log/fax

Activation issues after restore and OS upgrade

IPAD was disabled. Only option I had was restore. After restore, it offered to upgrade the OS which I accepted. Now, Activating IPAD requires my apple id which is ******@icloud.com. I don't even remember creating any account on icloud.com. I have tried to retrieve it unsuccessfully from Forgot Apple ID link. Any suggestions? workarounds? Many Thanks in advance.

You will not be able to re-activate your iPad if you do not remember the old Apple ID and Password.

PWA issues after Office 2010 SP2 upgrade

We recently upgraded some client machines that have Project 2010 Professional installed to Project SP2. Several of these users also use PWA.
After the upgrade, I heard from a few of these users that in PWA, the Workflow Approval buttons were unavailable, and that they were unable to export to Excel. I checked with another user who uses the same Project Server and did
not receive the update, and he had the same issue.
I did find kb2817580 that describes these exact issues, but the timing is suspicious with the client SP2 upgrade. Is there something in the Project 2010 SP2 update that would cause this problem on Project Server, or does Server need to be upgraded
concurrently with the client update? I was not under the impression that the local Project update would affect Project Server. Is that incorrect?

Cwoodin, in my experience, the client doesn't make any modifications at the server.
About the updates, i would recommend you to apply SP2 at the server as well. Besides that, take a look at the ULS logs to see if it spits any errors.

Minor issues after KDE 4.9 upgrade.

Hello All.
After upgrading to KDE 4.9, I noticed:
1. My computer took some extra time to shutdown (only when running on AC
power). I ran a diff on a snapshot of my processes taken before starting
X, and after shutting it down, and found that kactivitymanagerd is the
problem-- it does not respond to SIGTERM, only SIGKILL. I guess it is not
a huge issue, but it annoys me nevertheless. Executing `pkill --signal 9
kactivityman` solves the issue, but I don't know where to put it... my
.xinitrc runs `exec startkde`, so I never get the chance there. Any
suggestions? Also, is anyone else having this problem? Is this worth a
bug report?
2. Some of the kwin effects seem less smooth. In particular, the "show
desktop grid" effect (most others seem fine). Did anyone else notice
this? Maybe I'm crazy, but I swear it was smoother in 4.8. If anyone can
confirm, did you find an answer? I tried to set the thumbnails to
"smooth" instead of "accurate", but it didn't seem to help. By the way,
this is on an X220 with intel graphics hardware (and the i915 kernel
module).
Has anyone successfully downgraded KDE from their cache before? I want to go
back to 4.8, but I'm scared of creating a much larger disaster.
Thanks in advance.
***Update***
Running my power-saving script fixes the first issue with kactivitymanagerd
(which is why it only happened on AC). I get the feeling this will be
something obscure, so it is probably best to not waste your time
investigating. But if you do run into this, I'm happy to share my script,
fwiw

I tried out dolphin and konqueror just now, and had no issues. I don't use
them very often, but I've never seen them crash before.
@masteryod: Indeed. But before filing bug reports, I like to check with the
friendly Arch community to get a little feedback and make sure that, as you
mentioned, it isn't my own fault for having some messed up configuration.
This is a valid use of the forum, right?
PS Lead developer of kwin is suggesting porting desktop grid to
qml...
I'm not sure what to think of the QML re-write: that sounds like a
re-organization / feature addition, but I don't know if it acknowledges the
4.8 --> 4.9 performance regression that we've observed. I think will file a
report as soon as I get the chance.
Also, I have one update: I think the first problem I mentioned
(kactivitymanagerd refusing to die) might be somewhat me-specific, so don't
look too hard for a solution. The reason it only happens when I am on AC is
that in this case my power-saving script is *not* run. If I run the powersave
script, kactivitymanagerd will exit at the right time o_O No clue why the
script would fix this. There's nothing exotic in the script, and I still
contend this is a bug, but I'm not sure it would be worth your time to
investigate.
Thanks again, everyone.

Join Issues After 4i to 10g Upgrade

Hi,
We have noticed issues with folder joins after upgrading from 4i to 10g. These joins existed and worked as expected in 4i. But after the upgrade to 10g, reports will pull all data instead of limiting to the parameters.
For example, we have a order headers folder and invoice headers folder in a business area created from the database. The 2 folders have a join. If I create a report that pulls columns from both folders and then create parameters to limit the invoice creation date, it will pull all records from the database instead of limiting to the parameters.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Can someone point me to some documentation that relates to the issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Troy

Hi Troy,
I seem to remember that there is a difference in how 4i and 10g handle outer joins. There is also an issue associated with applying joins to different types of folders. Please send me a copy of the SQL generated from the "view SQL" function for this worksheet and I'll try to help you debug the issue. It would also be helpful if you could do this for 4i also.
