AFP Home Directories Working - Except for...

Hello. I have a test model for a network environment I am preparing to deploy. AFP is working - for the most part - properly and as expected in providing a network home for open directory users.
However I have three issues I have run into and still can't find the reasoning.
1) When creating a new home folder in the workgroup manager I get the error below. However it still creates the home and functions - for the most part - properly. This could be connected to any of the below two issues.
+Error of type Not a known DirStatus (-1) on line 2112 of /SourceCache/WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-319.2.2/Plugins/UserAccounts/Use rAdvancedPluginView.mm+
2) When viewing the home folder in the finder it doesn't appear that home folder disc quotas are applying correctly. In the guest machine home folder it shows "9 items 26GB Available" at the bottom while the quota is set for 5GB per user.
3) Write and read (saving files) is working for all applications except for iWeb. About half way through a publish to a folder in iWeb it fails the publish very with a this disk is unwritable error. However it gets many of the files published before it finally fails. Sometimes, but not all times the AFP connection will drop completely and it will come up with an OS "server disconnected" dialogue box.
Looking at the AFP access log it shows the following hundreds and hundreds of time - probably about 700 or so times repeated. The error log shows no errors. It seems like it is just overloading the server somehow?

Key-based SSH Authentication and AFP Home Directories

I'm setting up some users with AFP home directories (hosted on an Xserve, with a couple of G5 towers as Open Directory clients). When logging in on the console on a G5 tower, the home directories work fine. The users can SSH into the Xserve using SSH key authentication. However, the users can not SSH into the G5 towers using SSH key authentication, and are instead asked for passwords - presumably because the AFP home directory is mounted with guest access (and thus the keys are unreadable) before the password is entered.
Is there a known workaround for this? A different way of setting up the home directory mounting? I don't particularly want to go the mobile home directory route, because (among other things), as far as I know, mobile home directories only sync when a user logs into the GUI. If that's not the case (that is, if they will sync when a user logs into the machine with SSH), then I guess that would be a reasonable solution.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

That was just speculation on my part; I'm not sure exactly what's happening. I do know that until the user authenticates, the entire automount is mounted with guest access... and that the user can't authenticate until the key file can be read. It may be the case that I was just encountering some transient failure or the like, however.

IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.

I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I reinstalled Firefox and used Xmarks to reinstall bookmarks. All work except for those in the bookmarks toolbar, which scroll down but don't open the page when clicked.

I did a clean install of XP and reinstalled Firefox. Then I used Xmarks to get back all my bookmarks. All are working except for the bookmarks toolbar. It shows entries and scroll as normal but when I click on one the page doesn't open.

I can't install xmarks for firefox

Thank you for your interest. I use apple mail to access my two accounts -I guess they are 3rd party accounts. One is a gmail acount and the other is a bigpond account. I admit to a lack of a high level of literacy when it comes to the language around all of this. For example, I am aware that I have an iCloud email account as I managed to set it up, but don't really understand the purpose of it as the last thing I need is yet another email account to oversee.

Turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days. You might get lucky but I wouldn't count on it.
You should have turned it off immediately and put it in rice but since you used it after getting wet, your chances are very slim.

I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured. I'm stumped. 10.8.1 maybe.

Multiple simutaneously logged in users accessing AFP home directories?

Hi,
Many of our problems are described in this guy's blog:
http://alblue.blogspot.com/2006/08/rantmac-migrating-from-afp-to-nfs.html
The basic capability we want is to have multiple simultaneously logged in users to have access to their AFP mounted home directory, which is configured in a sane, out-of-the box setup using WGM and Server Admin.
Multiple user access could take the form of FUS (fast user switching), or simply allowing a user to SSH into a machine that another user is already logged into and expect to be able to manipulate the contents of her home directory.
From my extensive searches, I have no reason to believe this is currently possible with 10.4 Server and AFP.
(here's the official word from apple: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25581)
I've read that using NFS home directories will work, though.
I want to believe that Apple has a solution for this by now (it's been almost a year since we first had difficulty), or at least a sanctioned workaround. If Apple doesn't have one, maybe someone else has come up with something clever. I find it hard to believe that more people haven't wanted this capability! (not being able to easily search the discussion boards doesn't help, though...)
Thanks for your help!

How do I keep a page as my home page when dragging icon to left of URL to house image & confirming that I want it as home page works only for current session, so when Firefox next opened, I end up with some stupid search page which McAfee doesn't like?

A couple of days ago, I connected to the Internet as usual & opened Firefox, only to be greeted by an almost blank screen with a Google-type search box in the middle & this message from McAfee:
"Your default search settings have changed. This may pose a security risk. Would you like to restore them to McAfee Secure Search to provide a safer searching experience?"
instead of my usual home page (BT Yahoo). I naturally clicked on the "Yes" option in the message, but rather than restoring my BT Yahoo home page, all that did was to insert the McAfee logo to the left of the search box in the top right-hand corner of the screen. The first time it happened, I had to search for the BT Yahoo page & then followed the standard procedure for setting it again as my home page. It worked only for that session: each time I shut down Firefox or restarted my computer after that, all I got was the blank "search page" & restoring the previous session was the only way to get back to BY Yahoo. How on earth do I make the home page setting permanent?
As far as I'm aware, I have done nothing to alter my search settings. However, I am anything but computer-literate, so I may have done/pressed something without realising it, but trying to understand what is now happening is far beyond my limited IT skills.

See McAfee support to find out how to disable that McAfee feature - that isn't part of the normal Firefox installation.

Why can't files be locked in AFP home directories?

Hello!
Our setup: Lion Server on Mac Pro with 30 Lion clients.
Several applications, notable Eclipse and R Studio, are crashing on start and complaining about not being able to lock files in their working directories. This only happens on network accounts whose home directories are on the server, not local accounts on the clients.
These apps worked fine under Snow Leopard.
I have three questions:
1. I assume this is a more low-level type of locking than the "Locked" checkbox in Get Info: am I right?
2. Could apps running on clients (logged into network accounts) get locks in Snow Leopard?
3. If so, what's changed in Lion, and how can I re-enable locking?
Thanks
Louise

User presets and templates will only be placed within the catalog folder after the 'Store presets with catalog' is activated. Existing user presets and templates will remain in their original location. I appreciate that this is a tad confusing, but it's the way Lr works. To get all of your existing presets and templates into the catalog folder it's probably quicker and easier to just copy the entire 'Lightroom Settings' folder from the default location to the Lightroom catalog folder.
