.mac account expired, but iBook still trying to connect?
Hi all, I'd love some help. Let me try to breakdown the issue as best I can:
My girlfriend's iBook is an older, 30gb model, which she's had for several years. 30gb is simply not enough, as you can imagine, even for her simple music and net needs. Recently, with very little memory remaining, she began to notice that memory was getting eaten up, even though she wasn't adding any files, was regularly clearing her browser cache, etc. So I began to investigate this problem.
First, I deleted all Garageband-related material, freeing up about 3.5gb! Good riddance. Next, per instructions I'd seen elsewhere, I checked the Console to make sure that the regular maintanence programs have been running recently. They have.
But in console I also noticed a lot of repeating command lines, which is the main part of my question now. When she first got the iBook, she had a year's subscription to .mac, which is a sort of networked backup and web-sharing service as best I understand it. She never renewed her subscription, but the "network" icon remained in Finder.
However, it appears to me that her iBook is still trying to connect to the .mac network. Here are (what I hope are) the relevant command lines I see being repeated endlessly in console:
"dotmacsyncclient[486] Failed to login to account - command failed: .Mac rejected either your user name or your password. Please verify your .Mac member name and password in the .Mac preferences in System Preferences."
AND:
"webdavd[600]: network_mount: WebDAV protocol not supported; file:
mount.tproj/webdav_network.c; line: 2703"
*So... MY QUESTIONS:*
1. What are these command lines about? How can I make them stop?
2. I believe that these repeated behaviors may help explain why memory was "disappearing" on her computur. Can anyone verify this? If not, can anyone offer an alternative explaination?
3. Any other simple, effective suggestions for freeing up more memory?
THANK YOU very much in advance for your patience in reading and helping me understand what's going on here! Arigato gozaimashita!

This problem appears to have been fixed by turning "iDisk Syncing OFF" -- see this thread for details:

I would have thought that when the account was no longer valid the switch would have gone back to its default state. Also on the legacy NAC you could see the guest accounts as a local account, when we create a guest account throught the sponsor portal we don't see it in the Guest Identity group. We are looking @ that group for within one of our authorizational profiles.
Thanks,
JoeI put the command authentication timer reauthenticate 60 on interface fa0/2, setup a guest account that was restricted to 1 hour. The guest account has now expired but the interface still shows authenticated:

I assume that the value for the command is in seconds, correct?

Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks
I did not say it is not possible.
I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac). -

I have windows 7 and have tried the troubleshooting steps but am still unable to connect to the itunes store yet my PC is connected to the internet, it just keeps looking like its trying to access the store
I have the same problem but the solution Wendyz99 did has not been successful for me. Part of the itunes store loads on the right side where the tabs for Quick Links and Top Charts are but the center section of the page is white. Also if I click on a song that is in the top chart area it will take me to the page but I'm not able to purchase the song or preview the song.
I feel I have tried all the solutions I can find on line and even had conversations with apple tech with no help.
I have down loaded the Autoruns program and in the winstock providers I have Bonjour and Microsoft Windows Live ID Namespace Provider. I have removed Windows Live and this still does not resolve the problem. I am at a complete loss. I am running windows 7, 32bit. Someone please help! -
Suddenly my I phone 4 will not connect message mobile device service could not be started (nothing has changed on my PC). I have tried following the troubleshooting and have restarted the mobile device) but it still won't connect. Also all bookmarks have disappeared!
Okay ... it's a better bet with a 1067 error message when trying to start the Apple Mobile Device Service, but we'd better check for a LSP issue, as per the following document:

i had itunes card of$25 but my account disappear but i still had money left.
If you've already redeemed the card onto your account then its amount should be on your account - a card can only be redeemed once.
To rent a film, find the film in the store and (if the film studio has made it available as a rental in your country) click on its Rent button. If you are beig prompted to review your account and enter credit card details then see if this post from mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without entering card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054 . If that doesn't work then you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them.
As long as you account's balance covers the rental cost then only that should be charged. How purchases are billed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance. -

I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4. I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect. Suggestions?
I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others. -

I have a Targue Versavue bluetooth keyboard that has worked perfectly for 2 years. It lost connection yesterday. I charged the battery but it still won't connect. I just get a blinking blue light. Help ??

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

A couple of months ago we decommissioned the 10.4.11 xserve that was serving as our LDAP server and home directory server for mobile accounts. We migrated all of that to a newer 10.6.8 xserve. It was a fairly rough migration, but we've pretty much sorted it out except for one last annoyance: when you look at System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items for all of our mobile accounts, every single client is still trying to mount an afp share on the old server. Logging in takes FOREVER because the connection needs to time out, so now my users are no longer logging out/in as often as they should, and so their Home Sync's are getting old.
When you go to the client's Preferences, the line referencing the old server share is still there, but the minus sign is greyed out so the item cannot be deleted.
The Kind is listed as "unknown" and there is a grey warning triangle next to it.
This is clearly some sort of template/Preference that is hardcoded to the old name, and whatever file this is got moved to the new server (which has a different name and different numeric IP address.) Because even the BRAND NEW users that I have created since after "pdc04.hgbc.com" disappeared are trying to log in to the non-existent share on the non-existent server, too!
I have tried running grep on the entire disk on one of the clients looking for the string "pdc04", and updated everything that I found using vi directly on the files. I have tried running grep on select directory trees on the new file server looking for pdc04. In my grep on the client, I found the string in
/Library/Managed Preferences/user/loginwindow.plist
/Library/Managed Preferences/user/complete.plist
but searching all of the logingwindow.plist and complete.plist files on the new server comes up with nothing.
Does anyone have any idea where the template or preference or plist is on the server so that I can delete or update the file with the new host name?I think that Grant is on the right track -- but the problem is that whatever file that pdc04's Server Manager wrote into is not available to pdc's Server Manager to edit or even display.
We upgraded mostly by turning off the G5 10.4 xserve and unplugging the fiber-channel RAID (with user accounts on it) and plugging the RAID into a fiber-channel card on the new (to us) Nehalem 10.6 xserve, which we did after using Migration Assistant between the machines. Then we had various and sundry problems, and we ended up moving all of the mobile account directories to the internal RAID on the new server.
Clearly there is a file somewhere that acts as a template for mobile accounts and it refers to the old machine but its been moved to the new machine.
Only two of the mobile accounts have directories in the /Library/Managed Preferences folder. One of them, ironically, is mine, and my account hasn't worked right since we went to the new server. -
Can you still publish your website to .Mac if your mac account expired?
Hi,
My .Mac Account recently expired, and I did renew it. I was wondering if I can still publish my website to .Mac.
I have iWeb 1.1.2.
Can someone please help?If the account expired and you didn't renew it you can't publish to it anymore unless you do renew it.
.Mac isn't free, thus you have to pay to use it, thus if you don't you can't use it anymore.
