Long log in times after copying profile to User Template folder

I am having a devil of a time deploying 10.9 and 10.10. I am deploying Macs in a lab environment which sits in an AD world. I usually followed the same pattern of image creation: 1) create a test profile, 2) Install and configure the programs and the dock, 3) Copy the profile, and 4) then test with both a local and admin accounts. With Lion and Mountain Lion, everything worked fine. The new user was able to log on with the default user template profile that was copied. Now with 10.9.5, the network user (with a network Home Page) takes 5 minutes to log on when I copy a profile to the User Templates folder. I can't create a new user from Users and Groups because the system preferences wont close because it is still busy creating the user. I use Deploy Studio and Profile Manager to push out images. I followed my procedures to the core including repairing the permissions, deleting the key chain, and clearing out the application caches. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there anything new in regards to Active Directory in Mavericks and Yosemite and OS X? Any help would be much appreciated.

Long start up time after Leopard install on MacBook Pro...

Hi, I just bought a MacBook Pro recently and upgraded it to Leopard
But ever since then, every time I start it up it takes over a minute to load everything
On Tiger, it would only take at most 20 seconds
It would just stay on some blue screen for a while, about 30 or 45 seconds before completely starting up.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? I used a clean install of Leopard

Hi, I'm having the same problem. My MacBook Pro is new and came with the Leopard 10.5. It's taking 2 min to reestart. I've already tried to reinstall the system with "erase and install", but it did not help. Even the first time after reinstalling the restart is already slow.
Have anybody heard anything about how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

Transferring music to new mac air using external drive: next steps after copying iTunes file to music folder?

I've followed instructions to consolidate, copy to external drive, then copy iTunes folder to Music folder on new mac air. so...
1. what do I do with original iTunes folder?
2. how do I get iTunes to read/ingest playlist and songs?

Exactly what steps did you follow?
1. what do I do with original iTunes folder?
It's on your old computer.
What do you want to do with it?
2. how do I get iTunes to read/ingest playlist and songs?
If you copied the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer then you simply need to open iTunes.
Since it is the exact same library, everything will be there as it was on old computer.

Extremely long log on time using Time Capsule and Airport

i'm really confused as to why when I start up my macbook, connecting wirelessly via time capsule and airport that it takes an extremely long time to log in and the internet connection seems unusually slow. is there a setting that's off? when i log on at work to a different router and wireless connection it starts up right away. any advice appreciated.

1. no idea.
2. I get the same issue. Set the brightness at a certain low level - and most often when i performa a full restart of the computer - the brightness is usually at full blast.... I've had this happen for about 5 months now and have never bothered to call in about it - if it hasn't been fixed yet - I'll just deal with it as it only takes a second to correct... but yes - annoying....
3. Same as you - and this is the funny thing...... Mine used to start pulsing immediately when the lid was closed. IT changed for me in the last 2 months or so. That - and also - when performing a shutdown of the computer - it just get a grey sinning circle on the middle of the screen for about 10 or 15 seconds..... very similar to the wait for the pulsing light....
I reinstall OSX every month or so for various testing purposes - and I usually just put all the updates on immediately. next time - i will run the vanilla OSX that came with my re-install cd and check out condition 3 to see if it is an update that has caused that delay.
So - you're not alone/

Long log in time with Yosemite

I have been successfully using Yosemite on my early 2011 MBP. Now, all of a sudden, after either restart or a cold boot, when I try to log in to my identity...instead of almost instantly getting my desktop, I see a progress bar that slowly progresses until my desktop eventually appears. Not sure how to restore my machine to its usual log in behavior.
Thanks for any advice,
Dave

Try putting sync mode of sound in stream instead of start or
event. That way is easier to sync timeline with sound.

Long reboot/load time after update installation... help!

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Nevermind =)

Copied profiles from old to new, now i get 'A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.'

admitting defeat! after copying profiles from old computer to new one i can't get firefox to launch. says it's already open. i have gone as far as deleting the application, along with the cache and profiles and emptying the trash. then downloaded new version and same thing. obviously i'm forgetting something. have been out of the loop for a while... thanks for any help. :)

If you restored or copied a profile folder and not the corresponding file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] then you need to use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and choose the location of the restored profile as the location of the new profile (Choose Folder).

Mail messages missing after copying to new folder

I am recovering some email messages and have imported the mbox into a new folder. It contains 8860 messages.
When I copy these messages to the inbox, about 750 messages do not copy over. There is no warning that the file copy is incomplete.
Also If I try to export the mailbox, not all of the mail message are exported.
It seems very difficult to find out what is causing the problem.
I had already rebuilt the mailbox before attempting to copy it to the inbox folder.
Anyone have any experience with mail messages going missing files after copying them to a new folder within mail?

Edit the name of schema after copying

Hi
Can we edit the name of schema after copying
Rx
HI
user do you really have issue regarding it
Edited by: Moderator

Hi,
If you want change the name of key figures, see this answer i thread :
how to change the description
You can enter element data to modify the description.
Warning : if you change this element data, all program displays the new description.
Another solution : use this extension MCR00002 to modify description for key figures.
Or create flexible analysis (Tcode MCSA) in ref to S001 (evaluation structure). In this analysis, you can add new key figures by using formula (in ref to std key figures like Bill. doc: PS 5 = S001-UMKZWI5).

BPC Detail error/reject log not created in the PrivatePub/user/temp folder

Hi,
We have a custom import package that imports data from a comma seperated txt file in to BPC. If all the data members in the data file are valid dimension members the package is successful and the package log file is created in the PrivatePub/user/Temp folder. But if there are any rejects the reject log is not getting created under the temp folder and moreover the package status is "Error". The package log is created but the reject log is not. The Webfolders has the full share permissions.
The same package runs fine in our Test environment and creates the package log and reject log.
We are on BPC 5.1 SP3.
Is there a configuration that is missing.
Thanks in advance.
Swaroop

I'm pretty sure that when you do not explicitly indicate a transformation file, a default file (import.xls I think?) is used.
Also, there are a number of temp files & variables that must be created in the MODIFYSCRIPT variable, and certain conversion tasks that are part of the standard import process. You can see the proper syntax in the sample import pacakges.
If you've created a new package of your own, you may be missing some key pieces. If you don't understand what all the pieces are in the sample packages (and why you don't need them), you should start by debugging with one of them, and then see what you need to add back into your package.
I'd normally recommend to start with the sample import package, and only modify it if necessary, and as little as possible.
Last thought - file permission... does the user running the package (not the end user logged into BPC, but the BPC data manager user, which I believe is the "USER" (not admin or sysadmin) set up during the server install) have appropriate access rights to that network share where the data file is located? Try changing it to a local path, and copy the test.txt to that location.

User can't log in / Server can't create new users

I recently updated to OS X Server 10.5.5. Now one of my users can't log in. Wrong username or password the system says. I've reset the password but it doesn't help.
When creating a new user I get this error:
"The server reported the error '-14120' while trying to create the user."
How can I fix this?

Well, to move the stuff, make a New Account, log into a different admin account & get BatchMod, it's much better/easier than the Finder for recursive Permission changes...
http://www.lagentesoft.com/batchmod/index.html
Now careful with BatchMod, it's crazy powerful, but easier than Command Line.
Oh, this bad user isn't using FileVault I hope???
OK, once BatchMod is loaded, you can drag the whole bad user's folder to it's icon and set the Ownership/permissions to the new replacement user, check Apply to Enclosed items, go.
Oh, if you have room you might make a copy of that User's folder first & use the copy.
Then open the bad User's folder, Select All, drag to new replacement User's folder.

After today's updates, user/library has gone hidden as a system folder...huh?

After today's updates, user/library folder has gone hidden as a system folder...is that normal? Tried repairing permissions, but still is hidden. Should I worry? thx!

If you can't cope with the Option+Go method or need the Library during more complex operations, you can enter the following command into Terminal:
chflags nohidden ~/Library

"You are no longer logged into your profile" - So....Palm just decides to delete my data???

I was told to post this over in this Palm forum also so hopefully SOMEONE from Palm/HP will address this... I could not find a bug report area but perhaps someone can log this.
So after months of (mostly) happily using a Pre Plus, Wednesday I get the message that I am no longer logged into my profile, and do I want to reboot or erase my data??!! I googled, and yup, it's an issue....So I reboot...same options, this reboot, it starts and asks me if I want English as my language. Woops!!! No data!
Now of course palm profile does not backup anything on my phone really....I sync direct to Exhange and use Chapura sync to a desktop Outlook PST file. So I spend the next 5 hours restoring and syncing. Just crazy. Why can't it just say that you are not currently logged in, we will try again in an hour?? And what right does palm have to delete MY data that the profile does not even backup??? My exchange and chapura sync'ed data? Sure, I can re-sync with both of those. But my Chapura only if I am on the same wi-fi network as the local PC. So what does that mean if I am traveling? And re-syncing a huge volume of contacts takes forever. And you lose all the linked contacts also!
So I call the carrier and Palm. The carrier says...."well if your phone originally was under another phone number and you changed it as part of an upgrade, that can cause it." Huh? This can affect me months later I say??? My phone number upgrade change was done BEFORE I even turned on the phone. Palm does not even know about that first number!
So I called Palm. The guy says it can happen if 2 people use the same e-mail or credit card in their palm profile. Now since it won't even allow you to setup the same e-mail twice, I'd like to know how THAT would happen. No one on my plan uses the same card.
So the question is. We know this happens sometimes. Is there any source with credibility that really knows WHY this happens??? And does any setting reduce the likelihood of it happening again? And why can't Palm make the results less debilating? There is NO REASON that it needs to delete your data. This is crazy.
Also, other than my few purchased apps, none of my critical data is even backed up by the Palm Profile!!! I still had to re-create all my POP3 accounts, change all my preferences back, re-sync with Exchange, re-sync with Chapura, and then re-marry all the contact duplicates that Synergy did not handle right. So what's the worth?
Can the Palm Profile/backup be turned off? Does changing the palm profile in the apps perferences setting from "submit password every 4 hours" (whatever that means) to only at purchase help??
Do you have any other options when you get that reboot r erase prompt? Pull the battery without answering the prompt perhaps???????
If I am on the road and this happened, I would be without half my contacts until I returned which is unacceptable. This is very disappointing. I cannot believe the default action is not "let's TRY AGAIN", and not, "hey, let's erase all of this user's data on him"!!!
If this happens one or two more times, I have had it. I will be looking at another OS and phone after having Palm phones and organizers for the last 10 years or so. This is unacceptable.
BJB

Thanks for the reply. Nowhere in here do I get the sense that Palm even thinks this is a problem or are going to work on fixing it. It implies Palm thinks it is okay and the problem is me, the user, the customer, because I do not want my data resided on Palm's servers or Google's servers. Does Palm understand this is an issue whether my data is on my home PC or in the cloud and in Palm Profile??? The issue is not how I choose to store just one of my calendars and contact lists (out of 3). The issue is a bug in the Palm profile system.
The first point is this.... Regardless of HOW this happens, Palm should not immediately erase all of my data!!!! Let's say I DID sync all my data to Palm Profile. I STILL would not want to have to re-download everything just because of some glitch with your backup servers, the carrier's network, or my phone!!! Go look at some pre forums. You will see many people that DO sync all of their data to their profile, and they are STILL upset with this Palm BUG. If security is the concern, how about asking for a password first vs. just asking whether I want to reboot or erase all data? If it is really me, I would know the password! Your answer seems to imply that what is happening is OKAY. It is NOT okay whether I sync everything to Palm profile or not!
Further, even if all my data WAS backed up to Palm Profile, you still lose all preferences, all manually matched synergy contacts, etc.... etc... Again, I would still be very upset if all my data was erased even if EVERYTHING was backed up to Palm profile. DON'T ERASE MY DATA!!!
I have no problem re-synching my exchange e-mail after a problem. It works from the road, etc. However after 10 years, Palm decided to not suport the syncing of home PC's with the Pre. An unfortunate decision as Palm was a pioneer in this. You talk about security....Perhaps some of us do not want our data stored on Palm servers or google servers!!! Yes, indeed, in the event of a crash I cannot restore from the road. I can live with this if the crash was from a hardware or software issue. But it is NOT OKAY if it is caused by Palm just because of some system glitch. Since you are not restoring my home PC data anyway, why erase it?
You talk about being logged out of your profile. My phone was just used, and it was sitting on my desk. Just sitting there. And then it popped up that "I was no longer logged into my profile". What causes this? Why does it not give me a chance to re-login? How come after the erase of data and reboot I was then magically "logged in" and it was working? Did the person that was trying to steal my non-existent data in my palm profile stop trying?
So are you telling me that someone was trying to use my phone SIM, on a pre plus, with my e-mail, and had my password....and trying to login, and that is why I got the message? And then magically right after I rebooted, they stopped trying and all was okay???
I do not believe that is the case. And again, if it is, ask for my password, or a security question, or SOMETHING to confirm that it is me. And a simple google search will tell Palm/HP that this is a problem many of us have had. If I have it consistently, as I said, a 10 year customer is gone.
BJB
PS. A reply that said: "Palm is aware of this problem and will correct it with the next software update" would be a lot more comforting.

I can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail. right after opening up ichat, receive the following message: lost connection with jabber. the server has unexpectedly disconnected.

i can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail. right after opening up ichat, receive the following message: lost connection with jabber. the server has unexpectedly disconnected. how to troubleshoot? thanks.

Hi,
There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause an issue.
A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended and this will not log you in.
(It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
Sometimes these go out of Sync.
In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration. I am not sure if this happens at Google.
You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them. If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
This should show all pics as their icon.
Check that all display properly.
At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
This often corrects hard to trace things
The 10.5.8 COMBO is here
