Can not log into server computer with any accounts - "You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."

I have a Mac mini running the latest version of OS X and Server. Been running fine and flawlessly. However, I had a strange problem with the iCloud preferences panel crashing when I tried to access it, so I rebooted. Now I can not log into the system with any accounts. My master admin account (along with all the others) gives me the error:
You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
I am able to see the server from other macs and I can log into it using the same account, but it only shows me a few of the shared folders I have access to but NOT to my main directories.
Rebooting into Command-R and doing a disk utility, I try and repair permission on that drive and get a bunch of errors like:
ACL found but not expected on Users
Repaired "Users"
ACL found but not expected on Users/.localized
Repaired "Users/.localized"
ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared
Repaired "Users/shared"
ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared/.localized
Repaired "Users/Shared/.localized"
Permissions repair complete.
But rebooting is no joy...same problem. Any idea what is going on or how to repair it? Should I do a time machine restore? Complete new OS X install? Any idea what is causing this or how to salvage it?

Got everything to re-install and it worked fine...for a few hours. Then I came in to find ALL of my network users deleted. Just GONE. Then found out the Open Directory was trashed and was unable to open, recover or restore from a backup. Looks like I may have a bad drive here.
I installed a new drive in the system, re-installed and so far (for a couple of hours anyway) the system seems to be working and stable.

Error message: "Logging into the account failed because an error occurred."

Hello,
We had an XServe G5 2.0 DP 5GB/80/2x250 running Mac OS X 10.3.9 Server with all updates as a main server for a school. The server provides Open Directory Master as well as File-Sharing (AFP and SMB) and e-mail services to about 30 teachers and 300 students. The user home directories reside on the server. A web server also runs on the machine. The students use a pool of laptops, which are configured with a local guest and admin account as well as access to the server-based home directories with Directory Access. The server had the OS running on the 80 GB hard drive and all data (Home directories, mail database, website, etc. were on the two mirrored 250 GB drives.) All was working well until...
A few weeks ago, one of the two 250 GB died. We decided to use the opportunity to upgrade the server and set it up with 3 x 750 GB, two drives running as a mirrored pair to hold OS AND Data, the other as a stand-by unit to help replace a failing drive.
We migrated the OS and all data from the previous drives without a problem. Since now, all data is residing on one pair of drives, we put the data from the old "Data" drive in a folder on the root level of the new HD pair. We wrote a script that launches at startup which creates the symlink in /Volumes/Data to link to /Data. We thought that with this, all would be well.
However: When any user tries to log into his account from any iBook (10.3.9 or 10.4.11) (wirelessly), he gets the message:
"Logging into the account failed because an error occurred. The home folder for the user account is located on an afp or smb server. contact your system administrator for help"
If the user logs in to the guest account on the iBook, then accesses his home directory via file-sharing, he can see (read/write) all his data. So, the data and privileges seem to be OK, as well as Open Directory working correctly. Mail and the web work well also, as does logging in to a user account from one of the PC's (wired).
Can anyone make any suggestions as to how to fix the situation? Currently, the users are using the guest accounts and accessing their data via filesharing, as well as using webmail for their e-mail, but this is a major nuisance.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Alain Chammas
A user trying to access his account from a PC (wired) has no problems.

A good number of folks are having problems with this same error message at login, and nobody seems to have found a fix.
I believe I have stumbled upon, if not a solution, at least part of the answer. If you're logged into a 10.4 workstation, open a Finder window and click the "Network" icon. The first time you do this, you'll only see "Library" and "Servers" icons, but if you let it sit for a moment, other folders will magically appear. One of these is "My Network" which is the critical part.
In Workgroup Manager, edit one of your users' home directory configuration. There's a URL piece, usually "afp://server.domain.com/Users" (which is what shows up in the window when you click on the "Home" tab for that user), and then there's a "Home" path that is usually something like "/Network/Servers/servername/Users/username". Trouble is, you've noticed that 10.4 doesn't put servers into the "Servers" path, but rather into the "My Network" path.
So, if you change that "Home" path to read "/Network/My Network/servername/Users/username", it should work--with one caveat. Apparently 10.4 doesn't create the "My Network" path on a given client until you actually browse the network on that client. If you haven't logged into a 10.4 workstation and browsed the network, the "My Network" path won't be there, and you'll still get the error. Login as a local user, browse the network (so that the "My Network" folder shows up), logout, and then login as an Open Directory user, and it should work.
I'm betting that 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 all handle this issue differently, so if you're in a mixed-version situation, you may have to experiment to find a workable fix.
Derndest thing I ever saw.

Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred

I've been looking after Mac's in an ophthalmologist's office for about 6 years. We initially used Panther server with networked home directories. With the large images, slow computers, and slow network we moved about 4 years ago to local accounts and local home directories using a Leopard Server for file sharing and print serving. About a year ago we moved to a Mac Mini Server but kept local home directories. We would like to move back to networked home directories and implement group folders for sharing.
I have another Mac Mini Server at home and am trying to set up a test environment but am having trouble getting networked home directories to work. I'm trying to log in using my MacBook Pro. Both machines are at 10.6.8. I followed the outstanding setup instructions from
         http://www.wazmac.com/servers_network/fileservers/osxserver_setup/osxserver106_s etup.htm
but omitted the part of setting up the groups.   I just set up an account, Test1 but am unable to log in using it. I can log into the account and access the home folder through my finder though. When I try log in I get:
         You are unable to log in to the user account "test1" at this time
          logging in to the account failed because an error occurred.
I have looked for several days now and have found no answers that have resolved this.
My DNS tests fine and it appears that my password is working. I have turned off all the services except for AFP, DNS, and Open Directory. The home folder is on the second drive /Volumes/MacHD2/Homes/test1 and it is set for automount and home directories. I set each of the separately with a save between. The server appears in my /Network/Servers/ directory right down to the Homes directory.
The following is the only log file that indicates any error. This is from the most recent reboot:

I would appreciate any and all assistance with this. I've never had a problem in the past with configuring and using networked home directories. This has me stumped. This is now my 3rd day working on it. I've been through numerous discussion groups, googled endlessly, and even re-installed the server software twice to make sure I'm working with a clean current copy.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer....

Thanks for your comments, and particularly for confirming that the Kerberos and AFP logs indicated success.   I did have my sharing set properly as you describe however checking that I had set sharing appropriately it led me to the answer to my problem...
You were right about the location of Test1's home directory and it is on the second disk.   I have always had a level of discomfort setting up the Home URL under 'Home' when setting up a home directory. I thought I had to put the fully qualified directory name, in this case:
      afp://miniserver.tolan.homeip.net/Volumes/MacHD2/Homes
After turning sharing off and on for the Homes directory, just to ensure, I saw that WGM had inserted another, more abbreviated URL for me to select:
      afp://MiniServer.tolan.homeip.net/Homes
When I selected this URL all started working.   I guess I've been outsmarting myself over the years by overthinking what I had to do.
So, while your suggestion was correct, that wasn't my problem, but checking to ensure that I'd done it right did lead me to the solution.   Hence, a helpful answer, rather than a correct one even though you are correct.
This issue of what the URL should look like has always bothered me but now I know. I guess I've just been lucky up until now and in this business good luck doesn't teach you anything...   :-)
Cheers, and thanks for this...

Can not sign into yahoo mail with Mozzilla

Prior to installing Mozzilla I was able to sign onto Yahoo Mail. Now, when I try to log in, I hit the sign in and nothing happens. If I use IE, then it works fine. I have tried clearing the cookies and cache and still nothing happens

I assume you are using a login page similar to this one:
https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym
Can you tell whether scripts are working on the page? For example, leave the username blank and click Sign In. You should get an error message above the box without the page reloading.

"Your Mac OS X start up disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your start up disk will also help - ????

I am still having trouble with my iMac since I last spoke with you guys about 2 weeks ago. Sorry to take so long to get back to you (things were a little wonky around here). Anyway, I did try running in Safe Mode, as Bob suggested but I continued to have the same problems. Strangely, the original message did not reappear, and has not popped up since the first time I wrote about it. However, the computer is still showing all the same problems. It is running slow, stalling in the middle of games, Youtube etc. I'm getting really sick of seeing that spinning color wheel every time I turn it on. Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated & thank you all for all the tips and advice with my first posting.

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro- can not work on FCP simultaneously when my network ports are on (open). How do I go about changing this?

Hi!
I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro and can not work simultaneously on FCP on all workstations when the network port is open. Can anyone help me on this?

Did you purchase Final Cut Pro from the Mac app store? Or install it from disk? If from disk, you may have installed it on all machines using the same serial number, and using all of them simultaneously violates the license agreement. If you purchase from the App store the licensing is different and that may not apply.

How can i sinc my new computer with my contacts that are in cloud

my current contacts are in the cloud and on my PC. I just got a new PCand would like to retrieve those contacts to sinc on my new PC

Hello there, lisa1601.
Since your contacts are already in the cloud, then you just need to turn on the feature in the iCloud Control Panel:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Particular for your issue:
On a Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then select or deselect each feature. To make your changes take effect, click Apply.
Turning on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks adds your iCloud account to Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later if your Windows computer has it installed. Note that iCloud reminders are called tasks in Outlook.
If Outlook isn’t installed on your Windows computer, you can use iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendars, & Reminders in your web browser at iCloud.com.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Message comes up on startup: You are unable to log in to the user account "terry" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred. This is a late 2012 mac mini with a 64g SSD and 1 Gig hard drive installed. Help please!

As in title. I have tried resetting the password. Nothing works to get me past this problem. The computer was working fine before this happened.

I have just purchased this mini and it was wiped to a virtual new unit. I have done an install of the OS up to 10.9.5 and then installed my purchased software that is stored on iTunes through wifi. The computer was working fine although sometimes a bit slow. I have it set up with the SSD as the program drive and the 1T drive for data which I have no files on it yet. I am the only account on the computer so cannot log in on another account. I booted up holding the Alt key and then used the restore drive which brought up the Utilities window. I then opened Terminal and typed in "resetpassword" and then closed out and restarted the computer. It seems to recognize my new password but still gives me the same message as above.
I do have an Apple OS system 10.7 on USB if that needs to be used to reinstall the OS to fix the problem. Thanks for taking the time to help me with this problem.

Can not get into the console on a CVPN 3005 - any ideas please...

No matter what cables I try, I can not get into a 3005 CVPN - any ideas of what connectors I need?
Thank you

you need a straight through serial connection.
you can use a regular straight through patch cable and with the db9 terminal adapters on both ends from cisco.

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password.

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password. It never used to do this. What can I do to be able to send a email without having to type in a password?

Hey it4daddy73,
What mail provider are you currently using (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo?).
Open up safari and go to that providers website and log into your email.
If you get in than open the mail app and click on mail on the top of the screen, then go down to preferences, click on the accounts tab, and type your password. Close the window and it will save.
If this doesn't work I would even try deleting the account by going into mail/preferences/accounts and clicking the - button in the bottom left corner. Than re add and configure the account by pressing the + button.
Hope this works, and good luck.

Can not add Roles Server 2012 Standard R2

Every time I try and add the DFS Namespace and replication roles it says the server requires a re-boot. I check to ensure the version of server is activated and it is.
I rebooted twice, checked for critical updates which there was none and tried again, same issues, re-boot required, rebooted again.
Next up I ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
This completed and said it fixed some metadata corruption. Re-boot, Try role Install, same issue, reboot required.
Next I check Trusted Installer to see if there was a pending install, nothing, Registry is correct.
Next I checked the other two entries mentioned in other articles (pending server manager reboot, pending file rename operation) both had correct values.
I ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
found meta data corruption and fixed, reboot.
Try role install, same issue, pending reboot. I have tried to install the rolls from a elevated powershell and through the server manager.
Last item I tried was to fix and .net corruption, and the tool would not work on Server 2012 R2.
I am now at a loss as to what to look to get these roles to install.
What are next steps, what can I do to get these roles installed? I need to get replication working on this server but it is hard when you can not even add server roles.
Any help would be appreciated.

Dave,
I finally got the DFS roles installed, can not remember what I did to get them in besides get lucky. I am now trying to install domain roles on this same Server, and I keep getting server needs a restart. Check the registry no entries preventing
the install, installed critical updated, rebooted countless times. When the server boots it reports the following:
It shows red under server mgr and manageability, with the message, "Online - Cannot get role and feature data"
I ran the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /ScanHealth

You are unable to log in to the user account at this time

I am facing this problem for some time now. Can anyone give some hints?
By the way. Excuse me for my English. I am not a native speaker.
I have a MacMini with Snow Leopard Server (10.6.7 since yesterday) wired to two iMacs (10.6.7), two PC's running Windows and a Time Capsule/Airport (7.5.2) which is wirelessly connected to a MacBook Air (10.6.7), iPad and iPhone.
The PC's use file sharing (SMB) which works fine.
The Server has some network accounts. Home dir is on the server.
At one iMac, I can log in to a network account. E-mail, iCal on Server, sync with iPad and iPhone. Works fine.
At the second iMac, I can NOT log in to any network account. Window shakes, saying "You are unable to log in to the user account at this time" and "Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred". In Terminal window, I can reach /Network/Servers/do.main.name/Users. Using the Finder, I can access all my files. If I shut down the first iMac, I can log in.
At my MacBook, I can not log in to my network account. In Terminal window, I can Not reach /Network/Servers/do.main.name/Users. I get "Users: Host is down". But using Finder, I have access to all my files. Shutting down both iMacs doesn't help. Airport settings see to be correct.
Where do I have to look. On the Server side? Using Server Admin and Workgroup Manager (from any client) I can not see anything strange. In WGM, multiple login for the network accounts is enabled. I even have Guest Access enabled for AFP (both in the sharepoint and in AFP settings).
Anyone?

Users with Network Home directories can't log in. After entering their correct username and password, the following error message appears:
"You are unable to login to the user account 'username' at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
Problem occurs with v10.5 Leopard client attempting to login to a Network Home directory hosted on a v10.4 Tiger server.
_Significant Troubleshooting Symptom:_
Client mac Console log (all Messages) contains the following entry at the time the user attempted to login to their Network Home directory:
authorizationhost[509] ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter
mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dir:Path:username:] |
PremountHomeDirectoryWith Authentication( url=afp://server.example.com/Homes, homedir=
/Network/Servers/server.example.com/Volumes/ServerHardDisk/Homes/username,
name=username )
returned 2
_Computing/Network Environment:_
v10.5 Leopard server doing: DNS; Open Directory with Kerberos for Single Sign-On; AFP for half of all users' Network Home directories.
v10.4 Tiger server doing: AFP for the other half of the Network Home directories. Also, note that Open Directory is not running on this server, BUT IT IS CONFIGURED (using Server Admin) as "Connected to a Directory System" and has joined the Kerberos realm on the v10.5 Leopard server.
v10.5 Leopard clients.
Solution:
v10.5 User Management manual
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/User_Managementv10.5.pdf
says share points for Network Home directories have to have Guest Access ENABLED. See step 5 on page 117 and step 12 on page 118. Note that these are two different settings, but seem consistent with each other.
I had followed/complied/set Guest Access according to steps 5 (page 117) and 12 (page 118) on BOTH the v10.5 Leopard AND the v10.4 Tiger servers. The solution that allows users to log on normally is:
Uncheck/disable Guest Access (as set in step 12 page 118) for the v10.4 Leopard server only. Leave "Share this item using AFP" checked. Uncheck "Allow AFP guest access."
The above worked for me. Your milage may vary. If anyone knows how to report this to Apple for fixing in the server software and/or clarification in User Management manual, please do. If anyone knows that this solution "breaks" other stuff, please post back.

I can not get into the iTunes store for the past two days. I can do a search on the music in upper right corner. However, the screen is white with "iTunes" in the middle when I do. Any suggestions? Thank you.
