Home directory does not mount after client has been sleeping.

I found several articles that touches our problem, but none with any solutions so here I try from the beginning:
We have an XServe Xeon running 10.6.4 and two labs with intel iMacs running the same system. All clients are bound to the server using OD (400 users) and afp in a straightforward setup, that worked well with older equipment for several years. Server is connected to a XServe Raid that stores the home directories. Migrating to this new equipment and system caused several problems with the OD database, but these issues were solved and now there is only one very annoying problem left, that often leaves the users (students) with one question before giving up: Why do they use Apple systems here?
The problem is that when the client computers has been sleeping for some time, the login is VERY slow. The authentication succeeds and I will be logged in, but after that the message "The home folder for user <xxx> is not located in the usual place or cannot be accessed." etc. The sharepoint with home folders is not present either. Finder is extremely slow. Next step is to log out - takes a while too.
The next login will be a bit faster, no message this time, but the home folder is still not really there. It might contain the folder "Desktop" but no other standard folders. If I look at the path to the home folder in the Info window under "Server:" it will be: afp://servername/Users/iMac2 (072)/Macintosh HD/Network/Servers/cu.dkdm.dk/Volumes/Users/testuser. Shortcuts to different folders doesn't work and choosing "Go Home" from the Go menu sometimes opens the /users folder (on network).
The workaround is to restart the client, after which everything will work fine. the path above will now be afp://servername/Users/testuser
I really hope that someone knows something about this and is able to help. Our teaching, classes and preparing for students are radically disturbed until then.

1) Did you install as a local machine administrator, or as a domain administrator?
2) Is there, or has there been, any other Oracle stuff on the machine?
3) What happens (console session) using
sqlplus / as sysdba (without referring to sys)

Acrobat XI does not open - licensed copy - has been working properly for several months

acrobat XI does not open - licensed copy - has been working properly for several months. i never did have any problems before this. was acrobat 10 with acrobat XI upgrade in November 2013 so 6-7 months of trouble free use

I too have the same problem working property until about January or February this year...get "bad parameter' message trying to open files and then when I did the upgrade this a.m. it will not open at all, just spins and then disappears. I had this problem about a week ago and our IT man thought he had it resolved, even then kept getting 'bad parameter' and then this a.m. right back to not opening at all. I have Windows 7 Professional v6.1 and am wondering if it's a compatibility issue? Will I continue to have these issued until I install Windows 8?

USB Flash Disk does not mount after Leopard Upgrade

I am not able to use my USB flash disk after the upgrade to Leopard. The disk does not mount at all, though i can see it listed in the System Profiler.
Before the upgrade to Leopard, the same disk used to work perfectly.
Can anyone please tell me how I can solve this issue ?
Thanks.

Check to see if your USB Drive has the latest firmware. Leopard tends not to support older firmware.

LaCie external HD does not mount after lion 10.7.2 upgrade

After the upgrade to Lion 10.7.2, my external LaCie 2big Quadra (connected through FW 800 to a MacMini late 2009) was no more visible to the system.
This has not been the first issue with this disk since I have Lion: after the upgrade fron Snow Leopard to Lion, the "Ignore ownership" flag of the volume was resetted to "marked" (which was a mess because I had my whole home folder on it).
After the 10.7.2 upgrade, I had no chances to re-mount the volume with Disk Utility (dimmed button) but, using the terminal I was able to find it in the /Volumes mountpoint and to recover my home with the ditto command to the MacMini internal drive.
After this I reformatted the disk and now it seems to beave properly but I have seen on the web plenty of troubles regarding FW management under Lion and I am not sure if it is a good idea to trust it again.
Does anybody have suggestion or news?

My Lacie ethernet mini is not working after Lion upgrade.
Finally got an admission from Lacie that the login software won't work with 10.7 and they suggested going back to Snow Leopard . . .
Apparently the login software cannot be changed or overwritten so now Lacie drives are obsolete when using Lion.
I wish there was a way to wipe it clean and use it without the login software, but they couldn't suggest a way.
I note you may have had better luck but I don't know how to use terminal, so I may have to junk it, or possibly take out the drive and buy a caddy for it?

Em does not start after servername has changed

Is there a possibility to get the datanbase running in an ordinary way after the servername has changed after the installation of the database?
System:
Windows Server 2003R2
Oracle 10g R2
I have changed tnsnames.ora and listener.ora, so the client connection runs well.
But enterprise manager does not start:
If I want to start "Database control" there is the old servername in the http-Link:
http://oldservername:1158/em
If I replace the old name with "localhost" or the new name I get also an errormessage that the site cant be found.
In services the OracleDBConsole cant be started.
with ">emctl start dbconsole" I get the error message ORACLE_SID is not defined.
Defining it does not change the behaviour.
Do I have to reinstall the database?
Thanks

Subject: How To Drop, Create And Recreate DB Control In A 10g Database
Doc ID: Note:278100.1 Type: BULLETIN
Last Revision Date: 05-JUN-2007 Status: PUBLISHED
In this Document
Purpose
Scope and Application
How To Drop, Create And Recreate DB Control In A 10g Database
DB Control options:
A. Delete DB Control Objects:
B. Create DB Control Objects
C. Recreate/ReConfig DB Control
Applies to:
Enterprise Manager Grid Control - Version: 10.1 to 10.2
Information in this document applies to any platform.
DBConsole
Purpose
This article provides detailed instructions on how to 1) create, 2) drop and 3)recreate the repository and configuration files for the DB Control application used to manage a single 10g Database.
Scope and Application
The steps in this article are written for a DBA or System Administrator who needs to create, drop or reconfigure the DB Control Application.
The format of the document will include steps for both 10.1 and 10.2 EMCA because the commands changed between the two releases.
How To Drop, Create And Recreate DB Control In A 10g Database
DB Control options:
A. Delete DB Control Objects:
Option 1. Delete DB Control Configuration Files using EMCA scripts
Option 2. Delete DB Control Configuration Files Manually:
Option 3. Delete DB Control Repository Objects using RepManager
Option 4. Delete DB Control Repository Objects Manually
Option 5. Delete DB Control Configuration Files and Repository Objects using EMCA
Option 1. Delete DB Control Configuration Files using EMCA scripts:
For DB Control 10.1.x, run the command: <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emca -x <sid>For DB Control 10.2.x, run the command: <ORACLE_HOME>bin/emca -deconfig dbcontrol db
Option 2. Delete DB Control Configuration Files Manually:
Remove the following directories from your filesystem:
<ORACLE_HOME>/<hostname_sid>
<ORACLE_HOME>/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_<hostname>_<sid>
NOTE:
On Windows you also need to delete the DB Console service:
- run regedit
- navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services
- locate the OracleDBConsole<sid> entry and delete it
Alternatively on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 you can run the following from the command line:
'sc delete <service_name>'
- where <service_name> is the DB Control service name (typically: OracleDBConsole<sid>)
Also available from Microsoft is the delsrv.exe command. (Free download from Microsoft)
Option 3. Delete DB Control Repository using RepManager:
This option is not as complete as the other options. You may find that dropping the repository using the commandline options is a better solution. Also note, RepManager is not used to create a DB Control Repository.
In both 10g R1 and R2 run: <ORACLE_HOME>/sysman/admin/emdrep/bin/RepManager <hostname> <listener_port> <sid> -action drop
Option 4. Delete DB Control Repository Objects Manually
Logon SQLPLUS as user SYS or SYSTEM, and drop the sysman account and management objects:SQL> SHUTDOWN
IMMEDIATE;SQL> STARTUP RESTRICT;SQL> EXEC sysman.emd_maintenance.remove_em_dbms_jobs;SQL> EXEC sysman.setEMUserContext('',5);SQL>
REVOKE dba FROM sysman;SQL> DECLARECURSOR c1 ISSELECT owner, synonym_name nameFROM dba_synonymsWHERE table_owner
= 'SYSMAN';BEGINFOR r1 IN c1 LOOPIF r1.owner = 'PUBLIC' THENEXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM '||r1.name;ELSEEXECUTE
IMMEDIATE 'DROP SYNONYM '||r1.owner||'.'||r1.name;END IF;END LOOP;END;/SQL> DROP USER mgmt_view CASCADE;SQL> DROP ROLE mgmt_user;SQL> DROP USER sysman CASCADE;SQL> ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
Note: The above will completely delete the DB Control repository from the database; under certain circumstances (e.g. you want to recreate the repository later on) the following statements may be sufficient to remove the repository:
Logon SQLPLUS as user SYS or SYSTEM, and drop the sysman account and management objects:SQL> drop user
sysman cascade;SQL> drop role MGMT_USER;SQL> drop user MGMT_VIEW cascade;SQL> drop public synonym MGMT_TARGET_BLACKOUTS;SQL> drop public synonym SETEMVIEWUSERCONTEXT;
Option 5. Delete DB Control Configuration Files and Repository Objects using EMCA
For DB Control 10.1.x, dropping both the configuration files and the repository objects is a two step process. Run the following two commands:
<ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emca -x <sid><ORACLE_HOME>/sysman/admin/emdrep/bin/RepManager <hostname> <listener_port> <sid> -action drop
For DB Control 10.2.x, both configuration files and repository objects can be deleted with a single command. Run the command:
<ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
B. Create DB Control Objects
Option 1. Create the DB Control Configuration Files
Option 2. Create the DB Control Repository Objects and Configuration Files
Option 1. Create the DB Control Configuration Files
To create only the DB Control configuration files, skipping the repository creation (this would be done for instance if you dropped only the files and left the repository in place):
For DB Control 10.1.x, run the command: <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emca -rFor DB Control 10.2.x, run the command: <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emca -config dbcontrol db
Option 2. Create the DB Control Repository Objects and Configuration Files
For DB Control 10.1.x, run the command: <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emcaFor DB Control 10.2.x, run the command: <ORACLE_HOME>bin/emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
C. Recreate/ReConfig DB Control
Option 1. Recreate the DB Control Configuration Files only (leave Repository intact)
Option 2. Recreate the DB Control Configuration Files and Repository
In 10.2, the EMCA commands can be used to reconfigure the existing installs without removing them first.
Option 1. Recreate the DB Control Configuration Files only (leave Repository intact):
For DB Control 10.2.x, run the command:
<ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emca -config dbcontrol db
Option 2. Recreate the DB Control Configuration Files and Repository
For DB Control 10.2.x, run the command:
<ORACLE_HOME>/bin/emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate
For additional information on EMCA commandline options, please see the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Advanced Configuration Guide or see Note 330130.1 Overview Of The EMCA Commands Available for DB Control 10.2

My iphone 4s will not charge nor turn on and it does not reset. This has been going on for about 2days, at first it would only stay to 1% i turned it off to charge better and it will not turn back on nor reset using the home button and lock button.

I have no idea what to do, this is the second time that my phone has completely went dumb on me, the first time was March 2, and after 3hours of charging it finally turned on and charged completely now it does not do that. It stayed at 1% for a whole day (yesterday sunday) and now it does not turn on, and the home and lock button will not reset it. What do i do?? Help...

Home sharing does not work after update to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9

I am using home sharing since about a year without any problems. After updating to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 it suddenly does not work anymore.
On my iMac and my Mac Book Pro I get error code 3259 and it tells me to check my firewall and to enable Port 3689.
I did not change anything in the firewall settings, itunes on both allows data traffic in both directions. I also do not find any option to activate a port ( also wondering why this is suddenly now necessary)
I deactivated home sharing on both machines and enabled it again. It still does not work.
On both machines iTunes displays the the library on the left side but like said it is not accessable
With Finder I can access the other computer from both machines without any problem.
Any help to solve this would be very much appreciated

first of all, if you are behind a router firewall, and have your network secured (WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password made up of letters and numbers), you don't need the software firewall on your Mac(s).
@ least turned if off for troubleshooting purposes.
turn home sharing off on both computers, and make sure
(a) both Macs have access to the internet
(b) iTunes on both machines is authorized for the same iTunes account.
turn home sharing back on on both Macs.
does it work ?

External hard drive does not mount after sleep

I am using a brand new Seagate 2 TB external hard drive for my backup drive. More often than not, when the computer goes to sleep, the icon for the drive is gone from the desktop when the computer wakes up. I have to unplug it from the computer and reconnect it, then it mounts and works fine. I have it plugged directly into the computer's USB port. The drive uses USB3. As far as I can tell, it does not exceed the power requirements of the USB port. It is the only external hard drive I am using at the moment.
I should note that the same thing was happening with my last hard drive. That was a Western Digital 250 GB drive with an independant power source connected by firewire.
I am running OS 10.6.8 on an Intel circa 2009 iMac. My external drives worked fine for years, and it seems in the last year or so is when this started happening.

Another point of note is that both the HD and the keyboard are connected to the iMac through a 7 port USB hub.
I think this might be the issue. If the iMac is waking back up, it will likely be waking up this HUB, but the HUB might not be re-initialising the connection between OS X and the external drive or the keyboard.
After waking the iMac, if you unplug the external drive from the HUB, then plug it back in again, does OS X pick it up again? Have you tried plugging the external drive directly into the iMac and then testing what the result is?
If you read back on what you've said, you pointed out that you have a USB mouse that you use to wake the iMac from sleep. Is this mouse directly connected to the iMac? If so, it surely can't be a coincidence that a directly connected USB device can wake the iMac from sleep, but any USB devices connected to the iMac via a USB HUB cannot.
I would suggest you test the drive as it is directly connected to the iMac. I would complete the same test with the keyboard too. I think you'll find it's the USB HUB.
I hope this helps.

AD user with no home directory does not work correctly

Hey guys:
I just tried to login as a standard AD user and was able to login, but the finder is having issues. The Finder seems to reset itself and the dock would also reset, plus the top menu bar is not present, anyone else with this issue? Also I login as my account with admin rights and have no problem, I am thinking about trashing the finder prefs and dock prefs and see what happens then, will post back if I find anything.
John

We're suddenly getting the same issue here.
A MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) installed a few months ago has no issue when setting up new users.
The MacBook Pro (OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2) which arrived this week is a different matter altogether!
Once it joined the domain every attempt to log in as a network user has failed. The following ticked options work on our Lion machines:-
Create mobile account at login
Require confirmation before creating a mobile account
Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location
Default user shell: /bin/bash
However, the Mountain Lion machine is having none of it. Network users get no finder bar across the top, the Finder icon will bounce every so often as though it's tried, and failed, to load.
Terminal states "no home directory"
The only way to get these working is to turn off the "Create mobile account" ones, then manually create an account once the user logs in (with a local administrator on hand to elevate when prompted).

Wireless Network Does Not Work After Coming Out of Sleep

I have a WEP connection that does not broadcast. My Airport connects to it fine. When the MacBook comes out of sleep mode, sometimes it cannot connect and does not show the network in the list of available networks (because it doesn't broadcast, but the network is setup so it should show). If I turn off Airport and then immediately turn it back on, it connects right away.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I need to delete and recreate the connection because just bouncing the Airport on the MacBook brings the connection back online... so I don't think there is anything wrong with the connection per se. It doesn't happen every time I come backup from sleep, just often enough that it's something I'd like to see them fix in an update if it's a problem that other people are having too.
As for switching from WEP, I have a many wireless clients in my house including laptops, desktops, printers, console systems, and iPhones/Smart-Phones. They all support WEP, but they don't all support WPA. I'd rather try to keep from buying new network cards or new printers.

Satellite P850-30W - Fan does not run after coming back from sleep mode

I got a Toshiba Satellite P850-30W with bios 1.90.
Sometimes the fan does not run at all after coming back from sleep mode on windows 7.
This has happened twice (maybe more times without me knowing), and Ive had the computers for a month.
Normally the fan starts running when the CPU gets over 50 celsius, and stops under 50 celisus...
I tried running Prime95 when this fan-issue occured and the computer temps got dangerously high (close to 100 degree)! the fan did not start at all
...this error could potentinally damage the laptop...
to get the fan running again I have to restart windows
anyone else experienced this?
I guess the fix would be to never use sleep-mode...or toshiba needs to fix it with a bios update.

What kind of answer do you expect here in user community?
Exact info about the fault? I dont think that somebody would be able to provide exact answer but just speculations
In other Forum you can read about Satellite notebook; but is it exacts the same model?
No, it seems to be an L650 series. Its completely different series .
From my opinion its not software related problem.
BIOS issue?
Well, in case it would be a BIOS issue, the problem would appear always and not sometimes after being shut down 200 times.
It could be a hardware related issue. Memory? Maybe
In my personal opinion to get more details hardware diagnostic software should be used in order check the hardware for possible malfunction. Thats my personal opinion

W510 eSATA/USB2.0 combo port does not respond after waking up from sleep mode

Has anyone tried to connect external DVD/CD player or burner to the eSATA/USB combo port and experienced very slow system performance after waking up from sleep mode? It might takes minutes to launch an application program that usually takes just few seconds. My W510 can not even restart. It will just stop at the Thinkpad logo if I tried to restart after waking up from sleep.
The funny thing is if I moved the external DVD/CD player to the USB2.0 port in the back, everything went back to normal. I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that the combo port has something to do with eSATA.
Thanks

It seems that this problem is unique to my system. I am hoping that one of the Mac Guru's will have at least a pointer in the right direction.
Thanks.

Windows 7 Does Not Respond after it goes to sleep

We are using Windows 7 image distribution through SCCM for our entire organization. Lately, I came across this issue, now becoming more common on all
the systems. The computer won't wake up from sleep by pressing any key, if left unattended for more that 30 Mins (rather after it goes to sleep). A forced Restart is then necessary to return everything to normal. We are using Dell Latitude E series laptops,
as a standard all throughout our organization.
Already tried lot of option like - upgrading the drivers, changing the power plans etc. However, neither of them worked. Any suggestions in this regard
are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

These type of issues can be solved by performing a startup repair.
