How come nobody can log in to a user account?
10.6 Server functioning well in all configured aspects. Did a software update. I don't think it was an important one, perhaps Safari and iTunes which I did just because I always do all the updates. Then, I used Disk Utility to repair permissions. Again, just because some say that you should, and it has never caused me any problems.
Instant disaster! Now nobody can log in to a user account to access any network home folders. All users can log in and access the Wiki service as normal. And I can log in via ARD and use Server Admin and Workgroup Manager. But no luck with users accessing the homes.
I suspect inappropriate permissions at or near the top of my Users directory, but I am not sure. First of all, what may have happened, and then how can I solve this problem???
I have no idea what may have happened (surely nothing SHOULD have), and I'm pretty much a novice (especially with NetBoot), but did you check in...
- Workgroup Manager: User/'Basic' tab/"User can" access account
- Server Admin: NetBoot (and NFS or Web) is running
To check permissions 'at or near the top of the Users directory', use ServerAdmin/AFP/Sharepoints/Browse then click on the permissions tab and double-click the user/group name. Or select the user/group and click the gear icon below for more ways to cause trouble!
Apologies if you knew all this already.

As the topic says. I used to being able to use my iMessage the same way as on my phone. I used to receive my messages on the computer aswell as on the phone but since I changed my password for both the Gmail and the Apple-ID accounts it just doesn't work. I nolonger receive messages on my computer. Im not able to set my status to "Available" and if I try to change which account is linked to the iMessage it said that I filled in the wrong Google-talk password.
I wasn't even aware of me using google-talk while messaging?!
The first time I used iMessage I just logged in using my apple-ID. It automatically seems to have used the Gmail-account and it worked fine until now. Please help me if able to.

ThanksGo into Settings App and turn OFF Find My iPhone. It will ask for your old password, but in the future you can use your new Apple ID account. If you need to reset the old password try this: https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid?language=US-EN&returnURL=https ://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa&app_id=93&app_type=ext

How come i can hear my friend on ichat but she cant hear me?
how come i can hear my friend on ichat but she cant hear me?
Hi,
Several possibles.
1) The Mic (or Audio) item in the Video Menu is Off (unticked)
2) The Selection in App (iChat or Messages) menu > Preferences > Video section > Microphone Drop down is not pointing to a Mic that is active.
3) The Mic selection in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab is not the same device in the app and/or the volume is not set high enough.
In System Preferences > Sound > Input tab the blue response bar must get to at least halfway (preferably 3/4s) but not bang in to the right hand end.
The Mic should be the one select in the app itself.
IF you are using a headset then change both the System Preferences > Sound > Input to anything else but the headset mic.
Then do the same if the app.
Then go back to the System Preferences and "Set" that "First" and then do the App "Second"
Repeat the same process for the output options in both places.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this. -
How many people can log into a G5 at the same time.
Thanks in Advance.
I am using a G5 as a server with external drives attached. I get a message from time to time that says "too many users are logged in at once", is there a limit to how many people can log into a G5 at once ?
All are on different users, and it's a total gigabit network.

Ten, unless you're using a version of Mac OS X Server which has no limit.

How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?
The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.

How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!
Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

Sharing Permissions: How come I can see my ENTIRE Mac??
Hi there,
I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Windows portion of the discussion boards or here, so forgive me if I've chosen the wrong location
I am running a MacBook Pro on a Windows network. I am able to connect to each computer fine. Yay! My problem: when I open my Mac from my Windows machine I can see my ENTIRE Mac HD on the network. How do I stop this?!?Well, I don't know that much about sharing with Windows, but you use "My Network Places" to log into a specific user account on the Mac, using the account name and it's password (logging in to an account from the Windows machine will let you see all the files and folders in that account). Sharing between Macs allows you to log in as a guest, which only gives you access to Public folders, but I don't know if this is available from Windows sharing. If not, and you want to limit the access to files on your machine, you can create a "guest" account on the Mac, place files that you want to share into the /Users/Shared folder, and log into the guest account from the Windows machine (the guest account will have access to the Shared folder, but not other accounts).

Help! I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
I went to the Apple icon, but "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
How do I know IF they have been installed? Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
- I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
Thanks to any who can help
PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?software update not working

How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
It will not go to the Mac App Store
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6
We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work. We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either. The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps. ***** doesn't it.
