Having a hard time logging into Lion at my office

Hi folks,
I need some help here...
When I used to use Snow Leopard at work, I used to have a hard time logging into my iMac as a network user. If I logged in as an admin, the problem would go away. Knowing this, I made gave my network account admin privledges and all log-in issues for my account were solved.
Now I use Lion...
My user account still has me as admin, but , once again, am having issues logging into the iMac. A small flag is displayed next to where I would enter my user name, saying that network is unavailable. I cannot enter my name or password. I can move my mouse, but I cannot type. I thought the error was with the wireless keyboard, so I tethered one and still had the same issue.
Powering down, unplugging, replugging, and prayer (haha) seem to be the fix, but I have to repeat this process three or four times in order to log in.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is? Is anyone else having this issue at their place of business? I don't have these issues at home on my Lion installed Mac.

Thanks for responding!
The firewall is off, under my security settings.
As for built in security from my office network, I do not know.

Anyone else having a hard time logging into synch accts?

Okay so for a few weeks now, im unable to use mobile to log into walmart and amazon accts. it always says the network connection is lost, even though no other pages have that problem, wifi or 3g is strong. Happens on both. And when i go through desktop, it always says:
We're Sorry.
Our system is having technical difficulty retrieving your information. Please try again later.
I have to do it like 3-4 times before it finally works. Annoying to say the least. I figured it was technical difficulties and would be fine in a week or two, but its still happening.

It happens =/ Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling will fix it. I didnt have it happen with my synch cards but it happen with my Chase and Discover, one fixed with a reinstall, the other fixed with the next update. (After a few weeks)

Issues when accessing iCloud.com from a Windows PC and logging in (sporadic problem), using Contacts, Calendar, Notes, etc., or sending error reports when errors occur seems to be a common problem.
My recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64 bit and the 64-bit version can't be the default browser in IE9. Norton Internet Security’s “Browser Protection” is what caused my iCloud.com issues when using IE9 32-bit.
Also, I just updated to IE10 on my Windows 7 Pro computer. Unlike IE9, IE10 seems to work well with iCloud.com, but IE10 does have a few issues in general. So, as mentioned, I’d use Safari as my dedicated interface to iCloud until all Windows and Internet Explorer issues are resolved.

Having a hard time signing into websites with Safari

Hi, I'm having a hard time signing in my username and password for e-mail addresses I use and for message boards as well. I use Safari all the time accept for my school website that requires IE. Anyways, I use Comcast and I have been trying to sign into my e-mail address name and everyime I click "sign in mail" Safari says "Safari Can't Open Page". So then, I went to my AIM mail to sign in there and then it said the same thing. Then I went to this Apple Forum to ask if anyone knows what the problem is, and then when I went to sign into here, the same thing. So right now I am using Camino, but can anyone help me with this problem or is anyone having the same problem as me? Thanks.

I too have been having a problem of logging into certain websites with a username and password. Instead of logging in successfully with Safari, a blank page or an error would occur.
This happened for: citibank, comcast, sprint, and miscellaneous other sites.
This problem apparently had something to do with my cookies since erasing my cookies seemed to solve the problem. Here's how to do it:
Safari -> Preferences...-> Security -> Show Cookies -> Remove All.

I have lost my calendar data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. Can anyone help? I am using Mountain lion OS

I have lost my iCal data and am having a hard time retrieving it from Time Capsule. I am using Mountain Lion OS om iMac. Can anyone help?

You cannot see it because it is hidden.. one of those great things apple does.. if it is hidden in your Mac then it will be hidden in the Time Machine Backup.
You will need to restore the entire folder to a different location.. and unhide it.
There is some info here about restoring particular files or folders.
http://pondini.org/TM/16.html
And some info from Lion which should also relate to Mountain Lion.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3231381?start=0&tstart=0
There is stuff about recovery near the end.
One wonders sometimes when Apple make these decisions if they ever think about what happens when something goes wrong. Hiding files..???

Having a hard time deleting some mail from junk! Every time I delete it returns to the junk mail instantly! Won't go away! What's up with that

Having a hard time deleting two junk mail messages! I press edit , I check the message, I try to delete and a screen message appears telling me the message cannot be removed! Not sure what to do here! Please advise?

Did you try swiping across the message in the preview window rather than use the Edit button? If you still can't delete the messages, quite mail and reboot the iPad and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that still doesn't work, log into your email in a web browser and delete the junk mail there.

Having a hard time lining up the audio to the video with FCPX.

Hi there
I'm having a hard time lining up the audio to the video with FCPX.
I'll just advise what I am doing.
I have recorded video of me playing bass guitar along to a song.
I have recorded the video in 720p with a DSLR.
I have recorded the bass guitar audio directly into Garageband (Using a USB interface) on a separate track to the song that I am playing along to. (It is played very well and is not out of time to the original)
I then mix the original song and the new bass guitar audio played by myself and export as an AIF in Garageband.
I import the video from the DSLR and AIF audio into Final Cut Pro X (10.0.5)
I can get the audio and video NEARLY bang on to timing, but its still ever so slightly off. As its ever so ever so slightly off it looks like I'm not really playing the bass guitar myself.
I'm moving the audio intricately but I just cant seem to get it lined up EXACTLY.
My camera picked up a tiny bit of audio so I can hear and see the audio wav on the video track to try and line it up with the audio wav of the AIF, but no matter what I just cant get it to line up and look exactly right.
Can anyone offer any advise or tips?
Thanks

Make sure you have Snapping switched off.
Expand the timeline to see the detail.
Rather than lining it up manually you could try the Automatic Audio Synch if there is any audio on the original video.

Having a hard time selecting an iWeb website host

Now that MobileMe is gone and my website is down (yes, i missed the memo)... im researching hosts and having a hard time choosing.
I would like unlimited storage as I have a lot of photos on my site.
RAGE sounds good but seems pricey.
I'm looking for a company familiar w/iWeb so that if there are any issues I have some assistance.
I have searched the community and googled and keep getting just a few answers. Nothing that really gives me a solid sense about the companies. And it seems that RAGE does a lot of self promotion posing as customer which seems a bit sketchy. I might be completely wrong but thats the sense Im getting from the videos and results I'm finding.
Is there a site that gives solid reviews of the web hosting companies?
Where have people here moved their iWeb website to?
Thanks

I have been using IX Webhosting for about 4 years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.
As far as the unlimited is concerned they just do not set any pre-determined space or bandwidth.
I have several websites hosted on my hosting plan ( I am currently using the expert plan ) and haven't ran into any space issues here is my bandwidth (traffic) & disk space usage.

Having a hard time with permissions to create dir and files in www

Having a hard time getting permissions to create directories and files in www folder:
I followed the following guide here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … arch-linux and here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … arch-linux
So now I have a LEMP stack which runs fine and I have my root account secured and a new username "adriano". If I SFTP into the server using the username adriano, I am unable to create any files or directories. Trying to do a simple wordpress install doesn't work because I need to be able to create a folder for it, and a wp-config.php file. Both of which, like I mentioned, I do not have permissions to do. Yes, the username "adriano" has been added to the sudoers file via visudo.
I've never been very good at UNIX permissions so I was wondering if maybe someone can help me out?
Also, since I am using nginx it does not seem like I have a www-data group or user and my www folder is /usr/share/nginx/
Thank you,
AJ

No, no, you guys misunderstand me. I am not that much of an oblivious person. 95% of the time I understand EXACTLY what the code that I am copying and pasting does. And when I don't, I look into it further before executing said commands. I just tend to not remember commands so I google them, see examples, and then copy and paste them to avoid the busy work of typing out long strings. For example, it took me like 6 months to remember that to untar a .tar.gz file it was -xvfz.
But I digress. drcouzelis, I do have root access. It's my own VPS. However, I have always used shared hosting through different hosting providers and now that I got a VPS and have to do everything myself, I am a little bit lost.
I followed what wonderwoofy said and created a www-data group, added the adriano user to said group, and changed the owner of my http server root to www-data, and I SFTPed into the server again with filezilla and it still works perfectly. However, those "hordes of hackers" drcouzelis warned me about does not sound pleasant so I am really really really hoping one of you guys can tell me the next steps. Root login is disabled in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and I also changed the port to a random port I created. My web files are all served from /usr/share/nginx/ (there are different folders in there that correspond to different domains.) Now what I am wondering is that if user "adriano" is in the sudoers file as ALL=(ALL) ALL, doesn't that pretty make adriano the same as the root user? The reason why I am so worried about this is because I heard/read countless times that working through the root user is BADDDDDDDDDD and will bring evil and shame upon your life (not in those exact words) and that you should never work with it. Also, do I have to worry about anything dealing with groups and/or users and/or permissions when it comes to PHP? I have php-fpm installed.
I am willing to buy anyone who can help me out with this a beer or two and I will be forever in your debt.
Thank you,
AJ

I am using OS X 10.8.5 but I'm having a hard time downloading Mavericks.
It keeps on showing that there is an error downloading.

Some have managed to resolve the problem by cancelling the download, logging out of their App Store account and then logging back in again and starting over. The same approach also sometimes works for a stalled download:

Also, if you are connected via wifi, try connecting via ethernet cable if you are able to. It's a 5.3gb download and it seems the more reliable the connection is, the better.

There are no BIOS settings, because Macs don't have a BIOS. I don't use Parallels, but I assume it has simulated BIOS settings. You'd have to consult its documentation to find out how to change them.

Could not use kanaka plug-in to log into Lion

I could not use either afp or samba as home directory to log into Lion. Kana plug-in is used. I can see the return path from Kanaka console but user can not log into the Lion.

Also, can you login via the "desktop client" without using the plugin
(which is just to login to the machine initially)? In my hour or two of
testing I was able to get the desktop client piece going though I had
trouble with the plugin (no time to research... didn't really care that
much since I'm not good at either Mac or Kanaka) so that may be
interesting to see what comes back.
Good luck.

Hi, I am having a hard time grasping the pen tool in Illustrator

Hi, I am having a hard time grasping the pen tool in Illustrator, but have a decent knowledge of it in Photoshop and was wondering is there any quality loss when making work paths in Ps and exporting to Ai?

Do we know what version of Photoshop and Illustrator you are using? If you have a full CC subscription, then you can use Libraries to share assets between your Adobe apps. As far as I can tell, you need to turn your work paths into shape layers for this to work. Just select the Move tool, and drag from the document window into the Libraries panel. Even if Illustrator is still open, you switch to it, and your shape will be there in the Illustrator Libraries panel, and be fully functional (as in way more options that it had in Photoshop).

I have a PC DVR Net card and having a hard time connecting to the media server from my friends computer.I have read everything I can about port forwarding and I believe everything is right but I can't connect to my Web Cam server from another location. I do have it working on my Lan but when I go to a friends computer I can download the Web Cam fine but when I try to start the server it say's can't connect.My router is a WRT54G Version 3. I forward the Ports to the ports I was suppose to and I even made the computer a static Ip on it and everything seem's to work but I can't get into the server from another PC outside of my connection. My windows XP firewall is turned off and I even turned off the firewall on the router but still no luck. I hooked my connection up right to the computer bypassing the router and I was able to connect to my camera server from my friends computer with no problem so I know it's the router itself causing the problem..I used this one program to check and see if the ports were open and it said they were so I'm lost at this point. Any suggestions I would appreciate it very much.
Thank's

Reset the router for few seconds ...
Disable all the firewall on the computer ...
Check the IOp ... if getting Ip - 192.168.1.X .... try to ping the Ip .... If getting replies ... try going online
If not gettting Ip -- assign static Ip ... repeat the step ...
Still no luck ..possible the router is gone bad ....
