Clients running OS 10.4.6 on older iMac (slot loading) cannot login

Clients running OS 10.4.6 on older iMac (slot loading) cannot login. I get:
“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."
I have eMacs and iBooks on this network running 10.4.6 and they have no problem. Also the iMacs running 10.3.9 have no problem. Since it’s machine and OS specific I’m wondering if it’s an incompatibility problem. The iMacs have the latest firmware on them. The server is a G5 running 10.4.6 server, DNS and DHCP are setup correctly and the share points are setup correctly.

Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

  • HT4914 I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

    I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

    Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
    Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
    Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
    A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
    7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
    you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
    When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
    If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

  • Need some HELP on older G3 slot loader, (ram)

    hi, i have got a imac slot loading G3 500MHz, currently only have 128 meg ram, want to go to 512, cant seem to find the right sort of ram to fit because of the tabs/notches that hold it in place are different,
    also do i need to run say 2x256, or can i just run one 512??
    so i need the serial/number ( i think it's pc100) although some of the tabs/locking notches are different.
    any info GREATLY appreciated
    many thanks
    imac G3 500MHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  
    imac G3 500MHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    "the thing i am having probs with is the positon of the notches that lock it in place"
    You need a PC100 or PC133 DIMM, not a SO-DIMM. It should be non-buffered and non-ECC. Push the locking tabs away from the ends, position the DIMM so that it physically matches up with the bottom of the slot (if it does not match up, simply turn it around length-wise so that it can fit down into the slot) [you may need to use a flashlight]. When you push it down into the slot, the locking tabs will click into the notches on both ends of the DIMM.
    I'm sorry to say that some PC100 DIMMs will fit but not work, and the same is true of PC133 DIMMs. Good luck finding what you need.

  • Can I use the superdrive on my older iMac to load software onto my brand new iMac?

    I have a new 21.5" iMac on order, an upgrade from my late 2008 iMac, which I'm keeping. I was told by the Mac rep that I can use my older iMac's superdrive as opposed to having to purchase a separate optical drive. Is this true? If so, how does that work exactly? I very seldom need a superdrive, and only need it to install software on my new one.
    Thanks in advance for your help! 

    Make sure both Macs are on the same network and in System Preferences on the Mac with the Superdrive go to System Preferences>Sharing and tick DVD or CD Sharing. Once the disk is inserted it should appear on the Mac without the DVD/CD drive.
    For more detail in Finder look at the Help menu 'DVD or CD Sharing'.

  • Can I install Tiger on my iMac slot loader running OS 8.6?

    I'm keen to upgrade my iMac DV bondi blue slotloader running OS 8.6 to Tiger so I can take advantage of wireless networking. Do I need, say, OS 9 first? or can I just go to Tiger directly.
    Also - does anyone have experience of putting a new OS on an old machine - is it actually worth it or am I asking for trouble?

    Hi Macnabbs,
    yes, you can install Tiger on your computer. However, you will have to upgrade to at least 9.1 (better 9.2.1: ) before that, then upgrade your firmware and install at least 256 MB RAM (better: 512 MB). Also make sure you have at least 5 GB of free hard disk space! MacOS X needs a minimum of 1.5 GB of free hard disk space at all times in order to run properly.
    The short version goes like this:
    0. Confirm your Mac meets the minimum hardware requirements: Built-In firewire, 256 MB RAM (512 MB recommended), 5 GB free hard disk space (System Requirements)
    1. Update to 9.2.x: Mac OS 9: Available Updates
    2. Upgrade your firmware: Mac OS X: Chart of Available Firmware Updates
    3. Download the Mac OS X Update 10.4.5 Combo update: Mac OS X Update 10.4.5 Combo
    4. Unplug all peripherals but the original Apple keyboard and mouse.
    5. Install Tiger
    6. Repair permissions before and after an update!
    7. Apply the 10.4.5 Update
    8. Repair permissions before and after an update!
    9. Run software update from the Apple menu.
    10. Repair permissions!
    Keep the order!
    If you cannot select your hard disk as a destination volume and your computer is quite old this article might help:
    Mac OS X: Disk Appears Dimmed (or "Grayed Out") in the Installer
    Good luck!

  • Can I run iCloud on my iPhone and older MobileMe account on my iMac?

    Can I run iCloud on my iPhone and older MobileMe account on my iMac?

    iPhone - should be all right. Mac with 10.6.8 - no - 10.7.2 is required for iCloud. If you migrate from MobileMe but don't have 10.7.2 you will lose access to email, and calendar, contacts and bookmarks syncing: Keychain and other data syncing will stop. You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided you have been able to complete the migration successfully. You will no longer be able to access these facilities on MobileMe after you have migrated, though the iDisk, Gallery and website hosting will continue until next June.
    You can access your email by entering the server settings manually into the Mail application or other email client. Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.

  • How can i upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    How can I upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    With the above listed config that I have (iphoto 7.1.5 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8), how can I move my iPhoto library from this old iMac (2006) to my NEW iMac (2011) that is running iPhoto 9.5.1 ?
    To open an iPhoto 7.1.x version in iPhoto '11 you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this Support document:
    iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrade
    Download and install the upgrader,  then run it on your iPhoto 7.1.5 library. After that, iPhoto will be able to open your library and upgrade it to version 9.5.1. And you will be able to merge the libraries with if Library Manager.

  • Cisco Security Manager Client running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) in Terminal Service

    Hello CSM Gurus,
    Would there be any performance issues in CSM client software design if multiple instances of CSM client by multiple users ran concurrently on a Windows Server 2008 R2(64 bits) while CSM users accessing the server via Remote Desktop Services ?
    In my environment, we have a CSM server at our major data center while security administrators from all over the world need to use this CSM server. 
    In order to overcome the latency of the CSM client due to the WAN network, the plan is to use a Windows Server 2008 R2(64bits) as a terminal server and all security administrators would need to access this terminal server via RDP and would launch CSM client on their desktop.  The terminal server locates on the same LAN as the CSM server itself in order to minimize network latency in communications between the CSM clients running on the terminal server and the CSM server.  there would be multiple instances of CSM clients running concurrently on the Windows Server 2008 R2, the terminal server.

    could the launch agents failing slow the computer or they just don't work. I mean I am willing to upgrade ram but not if there is good chance it won't change speed much. Also to downgrade is it necessary to format the hard drive?

  • How do I make a RMI client running in Bea find a remote, non Bea, RMI server?

    On my stand alone test system I run a RMI server in one JVM,
    registry.exe and a RMI client in its own JVM. The client uses
    java.rmi.Naming.lookup() to find the RMI server, and this works fine.
    If I run the same RMI client class within Bea the naming lookup fails! I
    guess this is due to Bea using it own RMI registry rather than the
    registry.exe I started separately(?)
    QUESTION: How do I make a RMI client running in Bea find a remote,
    non-Bea, RMI server?
    Of course, in the final environment the server will run on a system
    remote from Bea.
    The RMI client calls are done from a servlet, not from a EJB.
    The doumentation about using RMI with Bea is focused on running the RMI
    server within Bea. This might be the "normal" thing to do, but in our
    case Bea is the client, not the server. Do I still need to use
    weblogic.rmi.*....? If so, where?
    Grateful for any tip.
