Can't log into cyrus to repair mail

I tried to "su cyrus" both as root and under admin acct. and am having a no success. As root user, i will type su cyrus and then terminal just goes to the normal prompt, no confirmation or change or anything. Under admin it will ask me for a PW; I will type the admin PW and it says su:Sorry. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to repair a corrupted database for 2 users and I am stuck. Help.

for 10.3 you need to use the correct user name (cyrus)
If you are trying to reconstruct your database, use this article, it's correct:

  • Can't log into Gmail using Mac Mail client

    Wow, after upgrading Lion for iCloud and upgrading my iPad2 for IOS5, I can no longer get Gmail on either one using Mac Mail as the client. I get a little triangular caution symbol next to the Gmail account in Mac Mail.  I tried deleting the account and recreating it, and when the account setup wizard tries to connect, I get the following:
    "Logging in to the Google IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" failed.  Make sure the username and password you entered are correct then click Continue.  If the information isn't correct, you cannot receive messages"
    This doesn't make any sense, since the account has always worked in the past.  Simultaneous to that, I have started having the same problem on the iPad, which never had trouble logging in before either.
    Anybody else encountering this?

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.

  • On my s-frame wa700 I can not log into facebook or e-mail. I get an error and it say try later

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi zmangva,
    There is a latest firmware update available for this Digital Photo Frame to resolve this issue.  Detailed instructions regarding this update are mentioned on below link:
    http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=DPFWA700&upd_id=8195&os_group_id=5
    If the issue persists, try the below mentioned troubleshooting instructions:
    1. Check if the access point of the wireless LAN is turned on.
    2. Move this photo frame to another position or bring it closer to the access point. Communication distance may be made shorter by surroundings such as an obstacle between the photo frame and the access point of the wireless LAN, signal conditions, or materials of a wall.
    3. Check if it requires a Password (WEP/WPA) or other specified setting (fixed IP address, for example) in order to connect to the access point. It is set in the access point to hide SSID. In this case, it may not be displayed on the network list.
    4. Ask the administrator about SSID of the access point and set it manually. Or cancel the setting registered for the access point.
    When using a public wireless LAN, you may not be able to use the network without entering a log-in ID or Password. Check the service content of the connected wireless network.
    5. Some equipment that uses a frequency band of around 2.4 GHz, such as a microwave oven or Bluetooth device, may be in use near the photo frame. Move the photo frame away from such equipment or turn that equipment off.
    If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accepted Solution".

  • 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.

  • Exchange 2013 - Admins can only log into one ECP server

    Simple run down of my environment:
    • Two AD sites (Site1 and Site2)
    • One 2008 R2 domain controller at each site (DC1 w/ FSMOs and DC2) running AD forest function level 2008 R2
    • One 2012 Std server with Exchange 2012 Std CU3 at each site (EX1 and EX2) – CAS/MBX on both, No DAG
    • Half of mailboxes on each server
    Using https://webmail.domain.com for all of our internal and external virtual directories. Adding /OWA or /ECP will get you into the respective site from either internal or external.
    All Domain Admin/Exchange Admin (Organization Management) do NOT have mailboxes. Those individuals can log into ECP from https://webmail.domain.com/ecp, or FQDN or IP of EX2 only. If John Smith has no mailbox then he must use:
    https://webmail.domain.com/ecp
    or
    https://ex2.domain.com/ecp
    or
    https://10.16.109.31/ecp
    If EX2 goes offline or they use https://ex1.domain.com/ecp or https://10.16.108.31/ecp then none of the admins can login and they get the following:
    Use the following link to open this mailbox with the best performance:
    https://webmail.domain.com/owa/auth.owa
    X-FEServer: EX2
    Date: 2/18/2014 10:37:42 PM
    s ECP or the https://webamil.domain.com/ecps ECP.
    They can access EMS from either server and run Get-ECPVirtualDirectory and it shows what we would expect:
    – https://webmail.domain.com/ecp
    – https://webmail.domain.com/ecp
    Why can an admin with no mailbox only log into the ECP on EX2? What is forcing the login to EX2 only? How can I move that “forced login” to EX1 if we ever get into a situation where EX2 is having problems? What happened in Active Directory or Exchange that
    made EX2 the primary login server for ECP and OWA? My FSMOs are located at Site 1…the same location where EX1 is located. The same server that I cannot log into ECP directly.
    ~Rick

    Any admin that is mail enabled can then only log into the server that hosts his mailbox. Admins without mailboxes can only log into EX2. And again, all admins can log into https://webmail.domain.com/ecp unless one of the servers goes offline
    and that's when the problems occur. Nothing obvious or unusual regarding mail flow. Done various internal and external tests and have not seen anything obvious or in the logs.
    Yesterday's change that MS Support had me do was to delete the ExternalURL for the ECP virtual directories. No difference. So, my latest update from MS Support that requested me to try today's change...
    set-owavirtualdirectory “owa (default web site)” -RedirectToOptimalOWAServer $false
    After performing an IIS reset and making sure replication had completed there was no difference. So, I am now forced to wait till Monday for MS to respond if the pattern stays at one email per day.
    Has anyone with multiple servers at different AD sites been able to log directly into the either server like I'm trying? I get this problem in my labs and I even had MS, while on the phone, remote in to make sure I was setting it up properly.
    The guy on the phone never said if their labs do the same thing cause they don't have multiple AD sites in their labs. In my lab if I have two servers at each site then I can log into both servers at the site, but not the other site. It appears it becomes
    site dependent then.
    MS has taken numerous logs and they are acting like this is the first time they've seen this. Yet I can reproduce it with no problem time after time. I'll create new VMs and start all over from scratch and make this happen every time I create a new AD/Exchange
    environment (it does take me a while to build all those VMs from scratch). No fancy GPOs to AD and no radical changes to the Exchange servers. Other than obvious config changes to make sure email can flow internally and externally, this is pretty much out
    of the box.

  • 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.

  • Can't log into server after 10.5.5 update

    After running the 10.5.5 update on our Intel Xserve, it keeps getting stuck at the login window. I typed in the correct admin login info, the window would go away as if it was going to the next step, then it came back again. All services are running fine and I can get on via SA and WGM (from another computer) but not to the Desktop (via Remote Desktop). I noticed every time I try to log on (correctly) as admin, the whole service would restart. I get this from the Terminal window while I ssh and logged in from another computer after hit the Log In button: Sep 16 11:23:17 server1 loginwindow[2249]: Unable to load Info.plist exceptions.
    Any ideas? I am afraid to update the other Xserve now..... Thanks!

    I have a similar problem, although with 10.5.4 rather than 10.5.5... Seems all services work, however, I can't log into the Finder.
    I just set this server up 2 weeks ago, so was able to give the users back their previous server for the time being. However, after an hour on the phone with Apple, their techs have exhausted all ideas. Here's what I've tried so far with prompting from Apple...
    1. boot from dvd, run permissions and disk repair
    reboot. no difference
    2. from a remote machine, access WGM, add new user, check home folders of existing users, check permissions, create another administrator user with a new home, try again with new user, no difference.
    3. wipe preferences via Terminal: boot single user, mount -uw /, run mv /Library/Preferences /Library/Prefencesold
    reboot. no difference
    4. changed preferences back to where they were by removing new (rm), and renaming old (mv) - still no access to finder
    5. suggested remotely installing 10.5.5 as last resort - this is the last idea the Apple technician had. I haven't done it yet.
    It seems to be a corrupt finder or login issue more than a server issue as all services are running fine
    6. In single user mode again, I tried a rm .AppleSetupDone which allowed me to recreate the server user and settings, but still did not allow access to the Finder.
    7. One of the other techs here suggested safe mode, hadn't tried that. - still wouldn't allow me to log into the Finder
    8. Tried boot from Disk Warrior DVD (latest version) - wouldn't boot
    sigh...
    Ideas anyone? I'm close to wiping and rebuilding this server, however the user permissions are a little bit intricate so it would sure be nice to get it running again.
    thanks, Dave

  • I can't log into itunes.  I first established my account on a Macbook, but now I am on a PC.  I downloaded the software for a PC, but I still can't log in.

    HI,
    The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
    Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
    A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as  Jabber Name/ID.  (Google Run  Jabber server).
    Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another.  (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
    iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen  (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
    Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
    Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
    However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

  • Created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.

    I have created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.  These accounts are for my kids and originally were setup with parental controls and time constraints.  Thinking this was the problem I removed the time constraints, removed the parental controls, deleted and re-added them, and made them standard users.  I have reinstalled, used disk utility to repair permissions, and made them admins.   Any help is appreciated.

    Users don't need Apple ID's. That's not the issue. Have you tried repairing permissions their accounts?

    Repairing User Permissions in OS X Lion
    You’ll need to reboot to perform this, and then use the same resetpassword utility that is used to change passwords in Lion, but instead choosing a hidden option.
    When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions — it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder where your documents and personal applications reside.
    In Lion, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
    Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.    You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
    The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
    At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
    The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

  • Can't log into account

    Hello all! I have a problem!! When I log into my account it takes me to the my desktop but will not load my desktop icons. It then returns me to the log in screen. I can however log into other accounts. I set up a new admin but cannot access my old files because I do not have permission. I've tried repairing permission (which fails). I've tried repairing permission through the install disc and it stalls...all day. The Mac HD appears to be ok when I verify Disk.  I've also tried to just do a reinstall but it fails to. Any help would be greatly appreaciated! I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7 on a MacBook.
    also, I was able to log into it once briefly and It displayed Finder Quit Unexpectedly.

    This is just a guess, but it may work. First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. Log into a working admin account and launch the Terminal application. I'll assume that the name of the problem account is "fubar." Substitute the actual name for that one. In the Terminal window, very carefully enter the following command:
    sudo rm ~fubar/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Try again to log in as fubar.

    Update to above question:
    Hello All,
    To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
    Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
    Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
    Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
    When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
    All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
    So this fix worked for me.
    After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
    I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
    Bob

  • I can't log into my iTunes account. I logger out a few days ago to trouble shoot because I was trying to redeem some iTunes cards but when i pressed redeem nothing happened. Now when i press sign in and then choose existing Apple ID, nothing happens

    I can't log into my iTunes account on my iPhone 5s. I logged out a few days ago to trouble shoot because I was trying to redeem some iTunes cards but when i pressed redeem nothing happened. I then tried to log back in immediately afterwards. I was unable to do so. After clicking "sign in" at the bottom of the apps main page, it brought up another menu where I clicked "Choose existing Apple ID". After pressing this the menu disappeared and nothing happened. I tried this multiple times and received the same result each time. I tried the other available option of creating a new AP ID to log in with and that one worked perfectly fine. I am clueless as to why the log in for me is either not able to load or just completely blocking me from getting back into my iTunes account on my phone. Not only can I not listen to the music I currently have, but I cannot log in to purchase the new music that I wanted to with my unused iTunes gift cards

    I have the same problem too and tried alot of things like time zone , restarting or changing DNS of wifi connection to 8.8.8.8 still nothing happens .. !!
