"account login failed" message when trying to login to SL Server

Hello,
I have tried to search the forum, but can't find anything that addresses my problem directly, and hope you might be able to help.
I work in a school with a mixture of Macs and Windows systems.
I had a 10.4 server working (on a G5) with Windows only machines (before we got the macs), and have recently updated to an xserve running 10.6. I left the users home folders on the 10.4 server, and demoted it to a Standalone server. I am using the Xserve as an OD Master and Primary Domain Controller. I have created a fresh set of users on the the Xserve using Passenger (using the same short name as previously) and have directed them to their home folder on the 10.4 server. All windows machines can login fine and have access to the to their home folders, but when logging into a Mac they get the "account login failed" message. If I create a home folder for them on the xserve they can log in without problems.
How can I get the users (when they use the Macs) to get access to their home folder? The client macs are bound to the xserve directory and when I log on as Administer I can connect to the 10.4 server and gain access to the home folders.
I would be grateful for any ideas, many thanks in advance.

  • "Import failed" message when trying to import iPhoto library to PE11

    I receive an "Import failed" message when trying to import my iPhoto library to my trial version of PE11. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and using iPhoto 11. Anyone able to help? I have tried 4 or 5 times now with the same result.

    If you're really sure you want to import the whole iphoto library (which is what that command does), then just export the photos to the desktop, put them where you want to keep them, and use File>Get photos and videos>from files and folders to import them. The 'from iphoto' command makes duplicates anyway, so you aren't losing anything by doing it this way.

    Why do I keep getting an "authentication failed" message when trying to join my network?

    You may have to shut your computer off and pull the power adapter from both your ISP's Modem and your Router and wait 5 minutes and restart them in the following order.
    1st your ISP's Modem and wait a minute to get your signal and lights.
    2nd do the same with your Router and again you have to wait the minute.
    Last restart your computer and boot in OSX use Safari.

  • I keep getting an "Update Failed" message when trying to update my apps using Creative Cloud.

    I keep getting an "Update Failed" message when trying to update my apps using Creative Cloud.

    [ Mac 10.9.3 / Indesign CC update fail / Premiere update fail / Adobe Media Encoder 7.2.2 update fail ]
    Adobe Media Encoder was the problem for me. There's no separate uninstaller for AME. My ID CC and Premiere couldn't be updated (for the AME7.2.2 update as the only change). MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework seemed to be the factor.
    I uninstalled Premiere (only), after having manually removed MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework from inside AME. After boot I installed it again and voilà, both (ID & Premiere) updates went trough fine. The MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework was on place inside AME too.

  • TS4003 'icloud has unexpectedly stopped' error message when trying to login to icloud on my PC

    I receive an error message that states "icloud has unexpectedly stopped" when trying to log into icloud.com on my PC.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    There are now several threads about this, all starting around 29th June
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&us   erID=&containerType=&container=&spotlight=true&q=Contacts+has+unexpectedly+stop p ed
    This is clearly a problem with the service, not our browsers - any idea how to raise Apple's awareness of it?
    I've clicked "I have this problem too" on the top four threads, I guess if everyone does likewise....

  • 'Filter' failed message when trying to print

    I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch, mid 2009 running OS 10.9.5 and an Epson Artisan 730 with a wireless connection.
    Today, when trying to print, I get a message that says, "Stopped - 'Filter' failed."
    I have never seen this message before.  It was printing just fine a couple of days ago.
    I noticed there was an Epson software update available in the App Store, so I downloaded that.  Didn't help.
    I tried restarting the computer.  Didn't help.
    Does anyone know what might be causing this?  It just sort of came out of nowhere.

    Mystery solved! By going to the referenced link, I found this:
    If you’re using a Wi-Fi network and there are multiple Wi-Fi networks available, your Mac and the printer might be on different networks. Open the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar, then try choosing a different network.
    I got a new router that has two network branches. The printer (Artisan 870) is on the low-speed branch (because who cares how long something takes to print?). Rebooting usually brings up the MacBook Pro on the same branch for some reason, but I had manually switched it to the high speed branch to watch some streaming video. Manually switching it back cured the problem. This thoroughly explains why I was getting this error message intermittently.

    What could this be?

    Kc2232 I would recommend reviewing the installation log for the update to determine why it is failing to install. You can find details on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • Transfer Failed message when trying to send pics via bluetooth

    I used to have no problem sending pictures from my LG Vu to my Macbook Pro via bluetooth but ever since I sent my Mac in for repair and got it back from apple it no longer does this. Both the phone and my Macbook will connect and the download will start, but then my Macbook disconnects and I get a Transfer Failed message on my screen. If anyone knows how to fix this bug I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    Try deleting your Bluetooth set up and re-doing as if it was from the beginning.

    Hi Brian,
    In Acrobat, security concerns dictate that you cannot specify an ODBC connection string by using the Driver=; syntax. Therefore, the client computer using the form needs to have a DSN pre-configured for ODBC connections.

  • Why do I get "Secure Link to iTunes store Failed" message when trying to access iTunes store?

    Why do I get the message "Secure Link to iTunes store failed" when I do diagnostics checks on the iTunes version 10.6 that I just installed?  I have reinstalled it three times and have never been able to access the itunes store, or any Help sites thru the itunes app.  I have disabled my firewall, etc. to no avail.  Any ideas?  I have XP running.

    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 & 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:
