Can't add Computer or New Computer list on 10.3.9 Server Workgroup manager

I have a 10.3.9 server with Open Directory running. I can manage user and group preferences (Workgroup manager v2.0.1) but can't add a computer or new computer list because the option is disabled. If I connect to it's open directory from another server running 10.3.9 and same version of Workgroup Mgr, the new computer list and adding computers is enabled. This other server is in another subnet and not typically available for use by the network admin of the problem server. Any ideas to get the computer management enabled?

Hi,
an additional discovery I made:
Take the account "A", which is functioning on these two "problem-clients". I change the password from "123456" to "abcdef".
I try to log in this account with one of these two Macs... -> does NOT work
I try to log in this account with another Client (w/o problems) -> does work
I change the password back to "123456"
I try to log in this account with one of these two Macs -> does work
I deleted the accounts and created new ones. The accounts work fine on every Mac despite these two machines.
It looks like these two clients are not updating the directoryservice information.
So I tried to get a look, which information is readable at the client machines (which are making the trouble):
lookupd version 369.5 (root 2006.12.02 12:00:25 UTC)
Enter command name, "help", or "quit" to exit
userWithName: test
Dictionary: "DS: user test"
lookupagent: DSAgent
lookupvalidation: 1195423412
gid: 1025
home: /Network/Servers/xserve/Volumes/DATA/HomeDir/test
name: test testuser Test User
passwd: ****** ******
realname: Test User
shell: /bin/bash
uid: 1026
+ Category: user
+ Time to live: 43200
+ Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
+ Negative: No
+ Cache hits: 0
+ Retain count: 7
I gathered this information on the client, which can NOT log into this account. I can try all new or changed accounts, all are visible to the client....
Does anybody here unterstand this?
• the used accounts are all ok
• other accounts work fine on this two machines
• the problem only occurs on changed or new accounts.
• reverting the changed accounts to the old state: the accounts work again
Regards

HT4527 When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, even though all of songs were copied over, not all of them went to iTunes, some appear to be stored elsewhere. How can I find these songs, and how do I transfer them to iTunes?

When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, all my songs were copied over, but not all of them were stored in iTunes. It appears they are on the computer somewhere, but not on iTunes. Where are these other songs likely to be, and how can I get them onto iTunes? Because of this problem, Apple will not allow me to update my iPhone.

You may/must have had music files stored outside of your iTunes library.
I'd recommend going to the Finder and then via the search box look for files with mp3 aif m4a aac etc. depending on the music format your digital music had. With the list of files shown you should be able to learn which files were stored outside of your music > itunes folder
Chances are they could be burried somewhere under your documents, downloads, desktop, ... we all have different storage and organization habits.
Then when you find the missing files, on the new computer you can do add to library and go to the folder on the other computer where the missing files are - if your systems are networked - or sneak them over using a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive if you have lots of files, or if you like to have an extra backup of that music, copy to optical disc.

I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one?

You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Hi Virginie,
You need to go under the help menu option and sign out from Muse and then install it on the other computer that you want using the creative cloud desktop app.

You need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in order to be able to manage and publish the site from another computer?
Do you have that file? If you do copy it to the same folder on the other computer and you're ready to go.
If not then you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site. 1

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Professional and have been trying to activate it for some time. I also had this same program on my previous computer. How do I de-activate it from that computer so that I can activate it on my new computer?

Hi larrygoynes,
To transfer the license from one pc to another the step you have to follow is to 'Deactivate' the license first from the older machine.
To accomplish this you need to Launch Acrobat, go to the 'Help' menu and select 'Deactivate'
On the new machine you can install Acrobat and then use the serial number to 'Activate' the software and this will complete the license transfer.
You can refer the KB Doc: Activation & Deactivation Help

I had photoshop on my hp and it stopped working, it says error 16. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and nothing works. Also I just bought a Mac, is there any way i can transfer photoshop to my new computer?

Look at this guide:
Configuration error 16 | CC, CS
I don't know what version you have, but you cannot install a Windows edition on a Mac, you need the Mac edition.
If you have Photoshop CS6, you can swap it for a Mac version, otherwise you would have to purchase a full Mac version ($700) or enroll in the $10 per month Photography program from Adobe to use Photoshop CC.

It may not be necessary as you are permitted two activations.
