Log on to an apple computer using a Windows Domain 2003 Users

I work in a Windows 2003 environment with Active Directory (AD). All of our users are store in AD. The network has one apple computer, but user need to logon to the apple computer by using their window domain account. The OS on the apple is Tiger 10.4.11 and is update. I bind the apple computer to the domain example:
Active Directory Forest = MRC.EDU
Active Directory Domain = PAT.MRC.EDU
Preferred Domain Controller = MRC01K.PAT.MRC.EDU
Able to log on with one Windows Domain account, but no other can log on. The error message I get are:
You are unable to log in the user account " " at this time.
Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred. The home folder for the user account is located on AFB or SMB Server.
(We use a SMB and all of our servers OS is Windows 2003 Server.)
AND
The system is unable to log you in at this time.
I am weak on apple OS and need some help to solve is problem.

Hi the system is unable to log, and a warm welcome to the forums!

  • I have an Apple computer, use both Firefox and Safari browsers, use Comcast for my email. Lately, when on Firefox, my email is not functioning properly. Why?

    I have an Apple computer, use both Safari and Firefox browsers. I use both Apple mail and Comcast for my email. Lately, when in Firefox, my email does not work properly. I get a message "your servers license has expired". While I can usually access my emails I cannot delete unwanted emails. This problem does not happen when I use Safari and Apple mail. Is this a Firefox issue or Comcast? Do you know what license expiration refers to?

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.

  • I enabled computer home sharing between my fiance's apple computer and my windows. I am able to play his music on my computer now, however I am making playlists for our wedding, and am unable to transfer any of his songs to my playlists.How can I do this?

    I enabled computer home sharing between my fiance's apple computer and my windows computer, so I now can play his music on my computer; however, I am making playlists for our wedding and am unable to transfer any of his songs to my playlists. How can I do this?

    Thanks
    Are you sure that if I use my windows log in rather than my husbands, then open itunes it won't delete all his hundreds of songs and overwrite with mine? 
    I want to maintain my own apple ID login and he wants his but without losing his songs.....
    how do i transfer the content of my itunes including apps and songs to the new computer.  There doesn't seem to be an easy explanation on here. Do I just plug my iPhone in and it will all transfer?

  • Log data on the host computer using cRIO-9035

    Is it possible for me to log data on the host computer opposed to on the controller itself? I'm needing to log quite a bit of data and I'm not wanting to use my storage on the cRIO. I'm using scan mode on the controller.
    Thanks

    Lots of ways to do this. You can write a datalogger to run on the PC, to read shared variables hosted on controller and  write them to a file. There is also the DSC module for logging hundreds to thousands of shared variables to a database, if you need that.

  • Switching from apple computer to pc. windows.

    can i switch my main computer from and apple computer to a mac? how do i do it? Should i just install the software on the pc? I don't have access to the mac computer anymore (ex-boyfriends) help...

    Yes you can switch from Mac to PC, but with some caveats:
    Windows PCs cannot directly read a Mac formatted HD (or iPod).
    Macs can read and write to a Windows formatted HD if it is in FAT32. Macs with OS X10.3 and higher will read a Windows NTFS formatted HD, but no Macs can write to an NTFS HD. iPods only function when formatted in FAT32. iPods cannot function as a MP3 player if formatted in NTFS.
    Using Windows, you can try running XPlay (Software For Cross-Platform Functionality)
    Also see: Using a Mac-Formatted iPod on a Windows PC
    Download and install the Windows versions of iTunes and the iPod updater (but do not restore or update the iPod on the PC, yet).
    iTunes Download Page
    iPod Updater
    You will also need to transfer all your music from the Mac to PC (if possible), or recover it from the iPod using the XPlay software.

  • Switching hardware from Dell to Apple. Use Mostly Windows

    I need a little help. Don't shoot until you read the end. I am a business owner who runs equipment dealerships in AZ and CA and also a gadget hound. Have had 20 PDA's, etc and am always looking for the best hardware setup. I have a Dell Lattitude D820 with docks at home and office with 24" monitors. Running Exchange Server and Small Business Server. Have switched to alot of Apple hardware including iPhone recently. I run Adobe Creative Suite, ACT, AutoCAD LT, etc. all in PC. Not a normal business owner user. Sometimes have them all open and going.  
    I will be using Windows for 90% of what I need to do.  I am concerned that if I buy a new MacBook Pro loaded up and I will be running Windows XP or Vista most of the time if I will be driving myself crazy without a dock. Bookendz doesnt count. Ex: In Windows mode, will the MacBook still awake upon jogging a bluetooth mouse, etc.? I want to make the switch but have a great setup now docking wise. However, the specs on my two year laptop don't hold up anymore.
    Any ideas on how this transition will be. Is there anyone else out there mostly using Windows on a Powerbook Pro with external monitors? Is it a hassle to plug and unplug the DVI connection, power, etc? I am thinking of getting two bluetooth keyboard and mouse setups and then using the power and DVI only. Seems simple. Again, I don't know how that will work with Windows mostly being on.

    Good question. A couple of things:
    No other laptop out there has the combination of size, power, design and features that the MacBook Pro (sorry) has that I can see. I can get a 512 meg video card but with a web cam, backlit keyboard and 1" high? Not from Dell. I can get the same processor and hard drive as well but in heavier configurations. I am obviously paying for design and weight and some features. The cons are the lack of dock and the price but I don't mind. I also do use the Leopard OS for personal stuff but even iTunes I will have to run in Windows as it syncs my iPhone with Outlook on Exchange through CompanionLink software. I like working in Leopard but right now my world is built around Windows. I also like the learning more about the Leopard OS. Does that help?

  • Apple computer on a Windows based Network

    Okay, here is the question. We have a network where I work that is solely setup for non-Mac computers. We have just purchased 2 Macs to use for doing multi media. The Director of Information Systems feels it necessary to keep the new ones off the network in fear of the new Macs spreading viruses and other bad mojo throughout the the network. Have there been any such reports of this happening? I've tried to explain to her that since we are just using for an internet connection it shouldn't do any harm or even if we were hooked up to the network it wouldn't do any damage. Help me save the embarassment.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    As already pointed out you may well get a better answer elsewhere however Macs network very well with Windows networks and viruses? you've got to be joking You can install Anti Virus on the Mac to prevent them spreading viruses onward. They will be the only machines standing on the day your firm gets hit anyway.
    OS X is inherently more secure than Windows for a variety of reasons including the fact that you need to enter the Admin password to make system changes or install software (so nothing can install itself - ad/spy/mal ware etc).

  • TS4062 I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable.  If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer, it works perfectly.  I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Opt

    I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable.  If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer using the same USB cable, it works perfectly.  I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Apple Store Geniuses helped me determine that it wasn't my iPad causing the problem, but were less helpful when it came to dealing with non-Apple devices.
    Options?

    Does the OS see the iPad at all? In other words does it show up in either the My Computer or Device Manager?
    I've had problems in the past where I had to modify the registry to get my son's iPod to sync with a particular HP laptop.
    If it doesn't show up at all have your tried using an external hub (with or without power)?

  • HT4859 how to recover backups from my computer using itunes??

    Where can i find my backed up files from my iphone on my computer?? I've lost all the data on my iphone when i restored it to the original fase, Big mistake, anyways,... any one can help//...Thanks

    If you have a backup on your computer it will be listed in iTunes>Preferences on the Devices tab.  It will be located on your hard drive at one of the following locations:
    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Note: the backup file(s) have long alphanumeric filenames and cannot be read without special software.

  • When connecting to website using sso, packet sniffing shows ntlm user is using {server name}\{user name} instead of {domain name}\{user name}

    I moved to windows 7 and firefox 12 and my internal website via the servername (not FQN) is now prompting me for the username and password in firefox. I do not get prompted for a username and password when using IE9 to access the site via servername (not FQN).
    packet sniffing shows IE9 is using my windows domain as the windows domain. packet sniffing shows Firefox is using the web servers servername as the domain.
    If I use the fully qualified server name then firefox authenticates successfully. this is not a problem on my winxp workstation with firefox 12.

    The only time it fails is in windows 7 and the address used of HTTP://servername. I updated the above post to show it works in XP with ff12.
    There is no proxy server involved.
    I am logged into the domain.
    If I use the fully qualified servername as the address it works. Http://servername.domain.local

  • I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

    I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

    Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
    For Home Sharing to work you need to
    File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
    You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
    Home sharing will then work

  • Why does iTunes repeatedly think I'm logging in with my Apple ID from a new computer?

    To start, I figure I should give a little background... I have three computers authorized for use: Home PC, home laptop and work laptop (all Windows).  I also have my iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini authorized as devices for use.  I do 90% of my iTunes purchasing from the work laptop.  I'll launch iTunes, attempt to purchase a song and go through the usual of logging in with my Apple ID... no sweat.  Unfortunately, sometimes I'll get a subsequent screen stating:
    "Because this is your first time making a purchase from this computer, you must verify your identity by answering the following security questions..." 
    The thing is, just two days prior, I purchased songs from iTunes on this laptop!  I know that answering the questions shouldn't be an issue, but unfortunately, I tend to forget the answers (Sorry, I work for an Internet-based company, and we use A LOT of passwords and set up a bunch of security questions). 
    I'm just curious why iTunes thinks I'm using a "new" computer... Does it also use the IP address from which my requests are coming, for validation? (Apple ID Login/Password isn't enough security?)  As I go between WiFi to an ethernet-connected docking station intermittently at the office, I can see how IP addresses might be rotated.  If this is the case, will this impact the "five system authorization maximum" (i.e., is iTunes adding new systems to my "authorized list" each time this happens)?
    In a time of constant hacking and Internet security weaknesses, I figure I should be happy this is in place... I gues I'm just looking for some answers.
    Thanks,
    - Vern

    Hey there Vernholio,
    It sounds like you are repeatedly being asked to authorize your computer even though you have made many purchases oh it from the iTunes Store. Generally this issue is caused by permissions or restrictions on the user account. I have 2 articles to recommend for you here. The first is:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    and
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
    And to answer your question about whether or not the IP address changing might count against your authorization limit, no it will not. iTunes uses the computers installed hardware and software to keep track of that. Check out this info about authorization and deauthorization:
    Remember to deauthorize your computer before you sell it, give it away, or get your computer serviced. Also, make sure you deauthorize your computer before you upgrade your RAM, hard disk or other system components, or reinstall Windows. If you do not deauthorize your computer before you upgrade these components, one computer may use multiple authorizations.
    From: iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

  • How can we disassociate an Apple ID from a set of computers formated from a single computer using Carbon Copy Cloner and a single image and then Migration Assistant to install their old profile? The original ID is the Apple ID for all the stores.

    Here is a bit more detail.
    We were replacing old teacher machines and wanted to do it as efficiently as possible. Therefore, we set up one computer, through the OS installation and ran all updates, and then made a disk image so that we can use Carbon Copy Cloner to image all the other computers without having to run all the other updates. Once they were set up to a base level and assigned to a teacher we used Migration Assistant to import all their old files and items. Everything has been fine until recently the computers became aware of needing an update for one or two apps. The machine asks for the original computer's Apple ID for all updates. We have logged out of the apple id and back in with another to test if running the updates will work with that Apple ID and even after a refresh it still asks for the other Apple ID. How can we disassociate the Apple ID from those other computers so that the individual who owns the original is not needed each time there is an update or has to give out their Apple ID password?

    There are two parts to this:
    1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
    2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.
