MBP no longer able to log in on WIN2003 FILE server

New MBP in Aug,08. Able to access WIN2003 file server with typical clicks in Finder. Then comes October upgrade to Leopard, and this results in only being able to access file server by Finder>apple+k>connect to server by smb://##.##.##.##
Finally in December after an "upgrade" on the file server done by our IT person, I can no longer access the file server. I perform either of the above approaches to logging in and it just "hangs"...no error message, it just keeps trying, but never says that it can't find the server.
So, the IT person has done changes like taking down firewall and changing some of the enable/disable settings recommended on other chat sites for similar issues, but to no avail. HELP!

Never mind...my password to access file server contained a character that was not acceptable. Once changed, access restored.

I am no longer able to double click on a file and have it open. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

LDAP user no longer able to log in

We have CQ 5.3 set up using LDAP authentication. We have one user who has been using CQ with her AD Userid/password for over a year with no issues, but she came in one day and now it's saying her user id and password don't match.
We've tried on multiple different instances of CQ and she gets the same message every time. She is able to log into other applicaitons that use LDAP for authentication just fine. We have tried resting CQ to see if that resolves the issue and it hasn't. I originally thought it was some sort of issue with her LDAP account, but because she can log into other apps, I'm wondering if not? Or maybe there WAS an issue with her account, but it was resolved (she thought maybe her account was locked, so she ran an unlock procedure), but CQ just hasn't caught up to that fact? This started happening a week ago.

Hi Jennifer,
Have you tried running a manual LDAP User sync for the single user (http://localhost:4502/crx/config/ldap.jsp)? Since the user can login to other systems via LDAP, the problem is most likely with their account in CQ. Maybe try deleting their account in CQ and re-creating/re-sync via LDAP User sync.
Hope this helps.

HT1452 I am no longer able to log into my bank account, work email or credit card webpages. What can I do?

All of a sudden I'm having having problems logging into my bank account, work email, and my credit card webpages. I'm able to log into these websites on other computers. Im not sure what to do.

If you are using Safari ...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select the top six boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
See if that worked ...

No longer able to log into websites with Safari 3.1

Ever since updating to Safari 3.1, I can no longer log into websites (such as my company's Campfire account). It looks like I'm having a problem similar to those described by people who were using Cosmopod 2.2, however...
I don't have (nor have I ever had) Cosmopod installed.
I also don't have an Input Managers directory in /Library or ~/Library.
I've removed all my internet plugins in /Library/Internet Plug-ins
I've reinstalled Safari using the 3.1 standalone installer.
I've tried to downgrade back to 3.0.4 using the Leopard 10.5.2 combo installer (but I can't seem to actually get the combo installer to run).
Any thoughts as to other programs which might be causing Keychain hijacking?

tried it and spent the last 30 min. trying to log in
as adminstrator..
still no luck with getting through on secured sites..
any other thoughts? did the disk utility,etc..
He is something to try:
Go into the Control Panel open Accounts, create a new
user. Log into the new user account, open Safari and
try connecting to a well know site that uses SSL...
If it works, it means something is wrong with your
Safari settings in your account, bad preferences,
etc...
If it doesn't work, you have to delete system-wide
Safari preferences, and perhaps start with Disk
Utilities, Verify Permissions, etc...

Safari no longer able to log into secured sites??

" because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to
the server".
This is the error message I've been getting when either logging in
or visiting secured sites.
I recently defragmented my powerbook, and don't know if this
would have caused a security issue or not.
I'm able to view other sites with no problem. just the secured sites
I'm blocked from visiting.
Checked my preferences..cleared cache.. don't know what happened.
I was able to visit secured sites beforehand.
any thoughts?? ~A~

Skype 7.10 application no longer able to log in any user, check for updates, or change online status

Hello Community,
Thanks in advance for looking into my problem report.
First off, I'm running Skype version 7.10 (777) for Mac, on my MacBook Pro Retina running Yosemite 10.10.4. I've been using Skype on this setup flawlessly for months. Recently, after adding some more credit in advance of making an international call (which worked fine), I ran into a weird problem. I can't be more specific about the initial problem, as I kind of dismissed it at the time, but it was some kind of error window from Skype regarding my attempt to add credit (which did work, btw - I see the updated balance and my bank account was debited as intended).
Now however, I cannot use the Skype application in any way. When I attempt to sign in - whether on my account (with the right password or a bogus password), or on another valid account, the application just displays the spinning balls graphic for several minutes and then reverts to the sign in screen. After rebooting my Mac, I was able to use Skype again, but now it's back to this behavior after I quit Skype. I've got a lot of work-in-progress right now and don't want to keep rebooting to try to get past this.
Note that my account/credentials is clearly not the issue; I can use Skype from my iPhone 5S no problem, and from Skype web on the same Mac. But the application itself on my Mac is DOA, whether using my account or another person's. Even the Check for Updates just stalls forever.
I have already downloaded the Skype app again and paved over the old one, and that makes no difference.
I also trashed my Library/Application Support/Skype, and restored a copy from backup prior to this problem, but it made no difference.
I've verified that my Mac firewall is not the issue - I've tried it with the firewall on and off without affect.
If anyone has a clever idea - or knows how I can get some kind of diagnostic log about what the app is doing when it's trying to contact the mother ship - please let me know!
Thanks again

Skype on Panasonic P50VT20B no longer able to log ...

I've had skype working fine on my TV since I first got it over 3 years ago with the official Panasonic camera, then the other day I checked and it wasn't logged in so re-enetered my account details and then it came up with the "Cannot sync contact list" error message.
I've tried adding my birthday to my profile (along with the other crap it demands you fill in to save it) and it's made no difference at all. I can log in everywhere else (windows phone, ipad, surface, PC etc...) but the TV is having none of it.
Is there any solution to this, because having forked out over £100 on the camera this is just not acceptable to suddenly have it be a useless pile of junk?

First, I would try to remove any login startup items under System Preferences -> Accounts -> ACCOUNTNAME -> Login / Startup Items under that account.
I've had varying problems with blue screens on OS X.4 and with one machine I was unable to solve the problem, even after deleting the user account and moving all the files to different location, and recreating the account. As a last resort, you can try to move the user's home folder to someplace else on the HD, then login with the account and have OS X recreate all the files associated with the account. If that works, you can move back the files that the user needs. You might want to see what others suggest before trying that.

No longer able to log in except for manually.

I've been switching between gnome-shell, openbox (stand alone) and XFCE trying to figure out which I want to use (deleting the settings after each switch) and now it won't let me login using openbox at all anymore; XFCE works if I do it manually. If I add GDM to the daemons list, it ignores it completely; If I add slim to the daemons list it gives me the error:
Failed to execute login command
Trying to start Openbox manually gives me an error something along the lines of:
Openbox-message: Failed to open the display from the DISPLAY environment variable
I'm tried removing the entire Openbox folder and the .xinitrc file and copying them back to my home folder and ~/.config, rebooting but still getting the same sort of errors.

kgas wrote:The error message for the openbox is clear. what your $DISPLAY variable says?. GDM does not use .xinitrc.
Well, the .xinitrc comment was for telling xfce and openbox to start, not GDM; I had that set in the daemons list.
But for my display variable, I'm assuming you mean the openbox environment file. It appears to be default without any really "changes" or whatever.
# Set system-wide environment variables here for Openbox
# User-specific variables should be placed in $HOME/.config/openbox/environment
# To set your language for displaying messages and time/date formats, use the following:

Customers not able to log in with Microsoft ISA server firewall.

I have a few external customers that are having issues logging in. In all cases it is with the customer having Microsoft ISA firewalls.
They can get to the site. They put in their username and password. The screen flashes back to the logon screen, no errors, just back to the screen.
On the logs I seen the logon page request and the 200 OK but, the username and password never come across.
I can not tell if the username and password are being blocked by the ISA server or when the logon screen is presented that the username and password fields are just not active.
Has anyone else see or hear about this one?

We are seeing a slightly different problem but certainly related. We are using a SAP cFolder server for PLM collaboration. Companies using a Microsoft ISA server are not seeing problems logging in but are seeing problems with the mass download feature. They are seeing the connection hang. Looking at the ISA log file on the server they are receiving an authentication problem and a broken connection. If you try a single file download everything works OK. Also vendors without ISA are working fine.
What is it about ISA that would be causing issues like these?

A user on our network has lost the ability to sync with microsoft Exchange. She updated to OS 4.3.5 on Monday, and this morning her sync stopped working, and I am no longer able to connect her to our Exchange server. Any available solutions?

I am running Windows Server 2003, and Exchange 2003. The user has had no previous problems with connections, until her OS update.

Same exact thing with me. And no help from apple. Just dropped nearly $600 and cannot get a decent working setup.
Apple's only suggestion was to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime, and re-install... of course (the I.T. Crowd tactic).
The crash happens only on iTunes store access.

Log in to Win2003 Terminal Server with LDAP credentials

I have a Mac network with Xservers running Tiger, LDAP doing all the authentications, and Ibooks (also Tiger) for the users. My users are mobile users if this matters. The Ad department needs to use the latest version of IE (6 or higher) to view certain websites that have active X stuff in them and that obviously is not available natively on Tiger. We have a Windows 2003 server (that is not doing anything yet) that can run Terminal Server for 5 people.
Is there a way I can have my users use the MS Windows Remote Terminal client software to access the terminal server using their same credentials from LDAP? They do not need any home directories or anything else fancy like that, just needs to say the Ad group can get in but the Market group can not. I have tried making the Xserver the primary domain controller (seems to work so far), I just want to do that with out the home directory binding stuff.
Budget keeps me from going to Parallels+XP and I have not found anything that will make Firefox or Safari able to see these types of sites.
Any hope?
