Log in shows 'network accounts not available'

on my desktop my login window has a red radio button and a tag that says 'network accounts not available'
Anyone know what this means?

It thinks it's supposed to be booting from a Server, have you ever used that?
Might you have pressed Option+n?

Try rebooting & hold just the Option/alt key to see if you can select your boot drive.

Lion Server network accounts not available after 10.7.4 update

I installed the incremental update for Server 10.7.3 to 10.7.4, and now my network accounts can't log in. That would be all users of the machine then. How can I fix this?
Unimpressed!

Exact same thing happened to me on my 2010 MacBook Pro, running Lion as well. Updated to 10.7.4 and whammo, no more DVD drive. Tried numerous discs and the computer just mulled over whether it was going to play the discs for a few attempts then spat them out. All the discs I tried were in perfectly good working order.
Just saw this thread, but created one of my own before (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4026857). Still waiting for some help....

"Network accounts un available"

Hello Please, am stuck i have added my mybook pro to our windows domain, Now i cannot login. Be using the domain account or the local administrator accounts. The error generated is "Network Accounts un available" Pleeeaaaaseee help

I've looked at my system logs, and the difference between logging in connected to a wired and wireless network.
I seem to have an issue with keys on the wireless network.

Since the key piece of information, well in English anyway, seems to be "User interaction not allowed." Any ideas how to resolve this?
I've opened Keychain Access, there does not appear to be anything bad about the entry for my wireless network. As a test, I changed "access control" to be unrestricted, but still no luck.
I then deleted the entry the entry in Keyword Access, and still see the same behavior.

Option to create a new airport network is not available.

My family has 4 new Intel core 2 duo imacs running OS X 10.4.8. Mine is connected via ethernet to a router, which is connected to the dsl modem. My system also acts as the airport connection for the three other systems which share my internet connection via the buitin airport wireless.
I want to create a new, more secure airport computer to computer network using high encryption, but the option to create a new network is not available. It's not in the airport menu from the title bar, it's not in network preferences, it's not in Internet Connect. I created a new location and it did not allow me to create a new airport network.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, depends a bit where you set it up, but I'd look in Internet Connect First, if you can't find it there then launch the Keychain Access app in Utilities.
Mounting a Network Share at startup is simple as pie...
Once it's mounted on the Desktop, open System Prefs>Accounts, click on the Login Items... drag the Network Share there!
Or, Sharepoints Automounter does it easily also...

But the solution I prefer is to just drag the Icon to the right side of the Dock between Applications and Trash, or a folder full of Shares, for a Popup Menu!

Hi , I want ask you about imessage some time my account not availability and signal for calling some time no signal on my iPhone only search the signal ,

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

After upgrading to IOS 5.1 I no longer can see Verizon at the top of my Iphone and under settings general Network says Not Available Why is this? Did the upgrade cause this?

See this tip --> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it.

If the data network is not available for some time, to get it again we need to restart the phone instead it is not finding the data network instantly. why cant the iphone searches data net work offten if not available. i am totally disappointed with this!

Still it could not find the data network.it searches for voice network instantly and works too. but even full voice network available, there is no data network.when i restart the phone it could find data network.
Already i reset network settings for two times.

Each time i order a book, it says "network connection not available". Any tips to troubleshoot?

As the error message says, you computer cannot connect to the network.
It is difficult for us to give advice since we do not know your network setup. Try the network diagnostics utility:
Open System Preferences -> Network ;
At the bottom of the window is a button labelled "Assist me", press it, then in the drop down panel press "Diagnostics" and inspect your network status.

Lion Clients 10.7.4 show network accounts are unavailable and server is not responding when binding to Snow Leopard server 10.6.8

Hello,
I am running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 and my clients are Lion 10.7.4. While testing I had no issues binding 10.7.4 to our 10.6.8 server's OD. I created a 10.7.4 image to push to all of our machines and in the beginning of last week I was able to push the image and get the machines to bind with OD and apply preferences on these machines through workgroup manager. Towards the end of the week though this stopped working. Now any time I bind a 10.7.4 client to OD it allows me to perform an authenticated bind and the machine shows up in workgroup manager but immediatley after binding the client the status jelly next to the OD server in the directory list is red and says "This server is not responding". If I reboot the client I get a notification that "Network accounts are unavailable" at the login screen. My preferences from workgroup manager are also not applying, which is my main concern because without workgroup manager my mac server is somewhat pointless as we use it for very little else.
I've since tried to bind a snow leopard machine (10.6.8) and this still is working with a green status jelly. I've also built a lion machine from scratch, updated to the 10.7.4 combined update and am still getting the same issue where it shows the server is not responding when binding to OD. I then applied the subsiquent OS update after the 10.7.4 combined update but the problem still persists.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any help would help me keep my sanity.
Thanks,
Dane

Have you had any luck finding a solution to this? The only thing I have found was to unbind and then bind without authentication. Any help with progress on your end would be appreciated!
Nick.

Lion Server network accounts not working on some computers.

Hello all -
I'm currently having an issue with network accounts working on some Macs but not others. I have a Mac Mini and a MacBook Pro. The Mac Mini works fine and I can login and sync my network account with the server just fine. However, I cannot connect to it from my MBP.
When I try and connect I get an error that says "You are unable to log in to the user account "xxxx" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
If I login through console (by typing in ">console" in the username field) I get an error that says the user does not have a home directory...
I have searched numourous other forums but I have not found a solution that seems to solve this problem. I have unbound and re-bound my client to the open directory and I have restarted file sharing. Neither has solved the problem. I have a feeling the issue originates somewhere on the MBP since I can log in to the Mac Mini without any problems.
Anymore suggestions?

Thanks for your suggestion, SolidWood. Unfortunately it didn't help.
After a 90 minute phone call with AppleCare, this issue has finally been resolved. Here is what the solution was. Turns out it was pretty simple but it took a while to find it.
First we created a test user and left the home folder set to Local Only in the Server App. I was successfully able to login with the test user on both clients but since there were no mobility preferences set, it was pretty basic.
Then, we removed the Users sharepoint from file sharing, turned off file sharing to disconnect any users, and restarted the server. Then we created a new folder on the Server HD with a random name. We chose Darron. We created a new sharepoint in file sharing (with it still turned off), and shared the new folder called Darron. Double click on the sharepoint and scroll to the bottom and check the box that says "Make available for home directories over AFP". Then we restarted file sharing.
Then we opened Workgroup Manager, clicked on the problem user in the left sidebar, clicked on the Home option at the top, and there were three things listed:
     (None)
     afp://servername.com/Users
     afp://servername.com/Darron
Then we removed the Darron sharepoint from file sharing, and found that it was still listed as a home directory under the problem user.
This was the root of the problem. The system didn't know which path to use as the home directory.
Sooooo...
In the server app, we opened the Directory Utility (Tools in the menubar, Directory Utility). Clicked on Directory Editor. Authenticate to the directory using the diradmin login. Changed view settings to match this below:
In the left column, there were two paths listed for home mounts. We deleted both of them, saved changes, and closed directory editor.
Then, we restarted workgroup manager and both paths had been deleted from the users home listings. This was begining to solve the problem.
In the Server App, we recreated the users sharepoint, made it available for home directories, and restarted file sharing and workgroup manager. Now only one path is listed for the home folder for all the users.
This solved my problem of not being able to login on the MBP. The system synced the home folder and all was well. On the Mac Mini, I had to delete the problem account, un-bind from the network server, re-bind, and recreate the account. Now both clients are sycning perfectly and all is well.
Thank God I bought AppleCare! Thanks to everyone else for their help and suggestions.
As a recap, the problem of not being able to login to the MacBook Pro was caused by having multiple paths to the multiple home folders. These rogue paths were added somewhere in the troubleshooting process to try and recreate the home directories before I called AppleCare. To solve this, we had to remove the directory listings from accounts using Directory Editor, remove and recreate the users sharepoint in file sharing. The syncing problem on the Mac Mini was also created when multiple paths were introduced. The system didn't know which files to use.

Network Drives not available in Applications?

Hi,
I have a mcabook pro running leopard and another mac on my network that is not. This other mac has my firewire drive hooked up to it and all my files are saved there. I can access the other computer and drive just fine through the finder but when I am in an application the other computer and the drive are not available when I am trying to open or save a file. Can anyone help? Is there a way to add an icon for my other computer to the dock or to my desktop?

That's a large part of the problem. You have more than one font manager on your Mac. If you're not using Font Book, delete it. Then you need to reset its orphaned database so OS X stops trying to control which fonts are, or aren't active according to that data.
To remove Font Book from the hard drive, follow these steps:
1) Open Font Book, and then its preferences. Uncheck the box for "Alert me if system fonts change". Close the preferences and shut down Font Book. Put the Font Book application in the trash and delete it.
2) Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding it until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will reset Font Book's database and clear the cache files in your user account. The main goal in this step is to remove the orphaned Font Book database from the hard drive. With the Font Book application no longer on the hard drive, a new one cannot be created. Which is what we want.
3) Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Server Admin iCal Overview shows info as "Not Available"

Next to each topic (Accounts, Calendars, Groups, Locations, Resources, Events & Todo Lists) Server Admin displays "Not Available". The iCal server is running and users are interacting with it OK. The disk usage is 0.0B, there are about 10,000 events.
Since this happened there have been problems accessing calendars via the web (hardly used so not sure what others are seeing).
I've checked & fixed the POSIX permissions for the /Library/CalendarServer hierarchy. I tried deleting the .db.sqlite files & letting iCal repopulate them.
All the settings are intact and haven't changed. The logs show no culprit entries, just the usual. /etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist does not appear to be corrupted.
Ideas?

A hard drive started having RAID errors around 5/1, so the server is being rebuilt from scratch.
I'm still curious if anyone knows the how & why of this issue.

Facetime e-mail account not available

Hi All.
I have downloaded the beta of "Face-time" and can not log into the face-time function. I get the message "Your (my e-mail) are in use so therefore not available". I have tried with all of my mail addresses and none are available. I did have some problems registrating, but after a while my e-mail was accepted.
Now I can't log into my face-time. I have tried to unstall it and then re-install it, with no success. How do I remove the e-mail info at Apple? Or shall I just wait until Apple release the official one? And will Apple then have removed my e-mail registrations?
I really don't know where or who to ask, so I will be happy for any information from you. Thanks!
Kind regards from
Steen Pihl

Is this a free Yahoo account?
If so, Yahoo prevents accessing a free "standard" Yahoo account with any email client for U.S. residents.
Yahoo provides a free Push-IMAP account for iPhone customers (which can be accessed on the iPhone only and via webmail using a browser) but this may require using a different email address.

We have created new entries in the T185 table to enable the imcompletion log to go to the billing plan tab in the sales contract. However, when I click on the green back arrow, I get the above error.
Can someone give me an idea of the cause of the error and if there is a how-to manual on creating new screens, new flow control, and debugging methods for the incompletion log?
I am creating incompletion log entries for the billing plan in the sales contract at the item level. We have modified the special rules table RV45A_UV to add the additional check fields.
Can I add additional check tables to the TVUVF table?
Here are the entries I created in T185:

MAC os x can connect to internet but shows Youtube server not available.

I am trying to connect to youtube on safari and firefox as well but I keep getting a message that the youtube serve is not available. I can hook up to it with my labptop Dell, but my apple will not let me and it has been a month now.

Thanks, Neville Hillyer. Your advice was helpful, but in os 10.4, mail 2.1.3, and Comcast setup advice online there were some port differences that solved the problem. Thanks to NH I saw the SSL option was not consistent on outgoing versus incoming; saw two different sequences to use mail preferences for setting up incoming versus outgoing; and saw on COMCAST set-up that they like 2 different port numbers. My other newer Macs have not had this problem (yet) which seems strange since I saw port 110 in all my Macs.
Mail preferences:
a-- accounts Information tab type POP, my userid, mypassword, and on advanced tab incoming port should be 995, SSL checked, Authentication should be Password
b-- accounts information incoming server mail.comcast.net, my userid and mypassword, outging server smtp.comcast.net:myuserid, server settings port 465, SSL checked.
c-- in this old version mail 2.1.3, there is not save button until I select another account and a pop-up indicates my account changed and offered the save button which I selected. Mail then asked for my account's password; after I entered it, the outgoing test emails went out immediately.
Mail sending works again.
