Mac keeps trying to log into a Windows server with old password.

My iBook for some reason is trying to log into a server at work we use to share files on (let's called it Xserver). I recently discovered through logging my network traffic on my router at home, that my machine was still trying to access XServer.rr.com Xserver.socal.rr.com even when I was not in the office. It doesn't stop trying, over and over and over it goes, trying to find XServer. I was wondering why my account on XServer kept becoming Locked Out (Windows Server), and this is obviously the answer because it's not using the correct password.
How can i find out where OSX is instructed to connect to XServer automatically and keep trying, and tell it to stop?

Look in SystemPreferences>Accounts>yourAccount...and then into Login items. see if this server login is set to be automatic there.
If it's just a wrong password you need to fix, look into Utilities>KeychainAccess...see if this server is in there, remove it. Or do Keychain FirstAid.
There is an automount function somewhere, but I forget where that is.

  • I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine and having issues

    I am trying to remote into a Windows Server 2003 from a Windows 7 machine.  It says "The terminal server has exceeded the maximum number of allowed connections".
    My first stop in trying to solve this problem was here:
    [URL="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/command-line-hack-for-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"]howtogeek.com[/URL]
    And it says:
    [I]
    [INDENT]This problem happens because Windows only allows two remote terminal services connections when you are in administrative mode, and you’ve either got two people already on that server, or more likely, you’ve got a disconnected session that still thinks
    it is active.
    The problem with this error is that you have to actually get on the server console to fix the problem if the server isn’t in a domain. ([B]If you are in a domain, then just open Terminal Services Manager and log off or disconnect the sessions[/B])[/INDENT][/I]
    So it seems to suggest that all I have to do really is to run the  Terminal Services Manager but I cannot find it.
    This web site from mssqltips.com [URL="http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1981/remote-desktop-error-terminal-server-has-exceeded-the-maximum-number-of-allowed-connections/"](click here)[/URL] says all I need to do is first execute "mstsc /
    admin" from the command line.  But, when I do that, I get a message when I try to remote to the server, that says this: "To log on to this remote console session, you must have administrative permissions on this computer".
    So, what now?  What do you suggest?

    Hi Bobby,
    Yes, it is by design. By default, Windows Server only accepts two concurrent administrative sessions (Administrative Mode). It means that only two administrators can work on the server at
    the same time.
    If you would like more concurrent sessions, you need to purchase RDS CALs, install Terminal Services related server roles with proper configurations on the server.

  • Trying to log into a RDS server using cached credentials

    I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with Remote Desktop Services installed and it is a member server in my domain.   As a test,  I have cut the network connection between the RDS server and the domain controller.   I can log into the
    RDS server at the console with my cached domain account,  but I can't RDP into the server with my cached domain accout.   It is telling me the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.   Does RDS sessions not
    use cached credentials ?    I have set the Group Policy Option: Interactive logon: Number of previous logons to cache (in case domain controller is not available) to 30.   That didn't seem to make any difference.  Thanks for any
    help with this problem.

    Hi,
    By default Network Level Authentication (NLA) will be used for RDP connections, and this requires the domain controller to be available.  If you needed to you could disable the requirement to use NLA in the collection properties and set a custom rdp
    property so that clients would not attempt to use NLA when they connect.  The downside of this approach is clients will never use NLA when connecting and instead will see a server-side log on screen, and may get multiple prompts for credentials.
    It is preferred to use NLA where possible, which in most cases it is since modern clients support it.

  • Logging into my Apple account with ID/password has suddenly become impossible'

    I regularly use the Apple forums. I also use two browsers, Firefox and Safari. For the last three years I could use the same ID/password for the Apple forums in both of the browsers but suddenly the Apple log in panel in my Firefox browser tells me my ID or password is incorrectly entered.
    Yet the same ID/password still works in the Safari browser and no changes have been made to either (or attempted).
    The link below follows a forum correspondence that led to Apple contacting me.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2723335&tstart=0
    The Apple people then confirmed the ID and password and suggested that the Firefox password could have become corrupted. They went on to say that they could help reset the password from their end but it is unlikely to resolve the issue with Firefox.
    Not being too bright with computers would some kind person give the problem some thought and advise me in simple terms how best to resolve the issue.
    My initial thought was to uninstall Firefox thereby losing all the set passwords then re-install. But I'm not sure; the Apple screen I would then log into would still be Apple's.

    The problem is on my Mac Pro, the drop down window that contains my Apple ID is an old one & it will not let me change it, any password I try doesn't work including the present one.

  • I can't log into my main account with my password, always gets me back to the log-in screen after upgrading to 10.7.5

    After my routine software update to 10.7.5, I can't log into my main log-in id. Whenever I put my password in, it takes me back to the log-in screen. I'm sure of the password not being wrong because i can access my other admin accounts from which i changed the password. All my files and data is in that id. Please help. Thank you.

  • Trying to log into firefox but keep getting firefox is in offline mode and can't browse the web, I've unchecked the work offline in the file menu but still get error message...

    trying to log into firefox but keep getting firefox is in offline mode and can't browse the web, I've unchecked the work offline in the file menu but still get error message...

    The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).
    Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.

  • HT204408 When trying to log into face time I get the registering device does not have appropriate credentials, I have OSX 10.8.4 on my Mac Pro. I can log in using my IPAD

    When trying to log into face time I get the registering device does not have appropriate credentials after I sign in, I have OSX 10.8.4 on my Mac Pro. I can log into face time without a problem using my IPAD.>

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the issue is reolved. If there's no resolution after Step 3, post your results.
    Step 1
    Sign out of iMessage in the Accounts tab of the preferences dialog, then sign back in.
    Step 2
    Log out of your user account and log back in.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode and test, then reboot as usual and test again.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.

  • HT4314 I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?

    I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?

    I have the same problem.. EXACTLY. .  When phoning Apple Support they had trouble understanding my problem and couldnt find any type of solution. No one seems to take responsibility for GameCenter issues. The assistant escalated the problem but no one could find an answer. .
    The only idea was to set up a new apple id, hence a new GameCenter account. . But that would loose all the itunes data. Anyone got ideas ?

  • HT5085 Trying to log into my iTunes account and keep getting "unknown error occurred (-50)

    I am trying to log into itunes and everything I get this message, what do I do?

    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.

    What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?

    If you have not already created an iCloud account elsewhere you cannot do so on  PC, and that is the error message you will get. You can create an iCloud account on a Mac or an iOS device and then you should be able to sign into it in the iCloud Control Panel in Windows.

  • Mac keeps trying to connect to a server when opening excel

    i worked for a week at a production house and they had me log into their server to access files that we all used.  obviously i forgot to eject their server before i left and instead just closed my computer and left.  now, since Lion makes all documents that were left open restore automatically my mac keeps trying to load a spreadsheet that i was reading off the server but obviously i'm not connected to said server anymore.  and i won't ever again. 
    how can i stop my mac from trying to connect to this server?  also, is there a way to stop Lion from auto restoring?
    thanks, all!

    Well, I was hoping that if you remove all traces of recently opened documents to resume and you disable the resume, then Excel would not try any longer to connect to the server.
    One more question: is Excel trying to reach the server when you start your system or when you launch Excel?
    If it happens at start up, then have a look, if Excel has been added to the start up items (System preferences -> accounts -> your account -> start up items) and remove it.
         Quit Excel (with Option + Command + Q) if it is open and remove the loginwindow preferences: Navigate to Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.loginwindow.[xxxxxxxxx].plist
    The [xxxxxxxx] represent some interminable string of numbers and letters.
    If it happens at launch time, move the Excel preference file to the Desktop before you launch Excel. The file is locate here:
    /Users/your user name/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Excel.plist.
    If you keep your Library hidden, as it is by default, go to the System preference folder from the Finder menu: Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder (Or shift-cmd-G) and enter
    "/Users/your user name/Library/Preferences"
    Good luck
