Mobile accounts sudo Password dont work

i have mobile accounts which stay in sync with homesync to the server.
we i want to change some settings sudo in terminal on the mobile account it always say wrong password but use the admin password of the computer!?

If I am understanding your problem it sounds similar to what I considered to be a bug introduced way back when Tiger came out.
A mobile account on say a laptop cannot do sudo even if you know and use the correct local admin password. The same mobile account can enter a valid admin name and password in to a GUI dialog box to authenticate. I did report this to Apple but they did not seem to agree or understand.
A workaround I found was to do the following
su admin
enter password
sudo command
enter password
That is a mobile account can switch user to an admin account in Terminal and then from that do the sudo command as normal.

Screen sharing mobile account (open directory) not working

Can anybody else verify that screen sharing, through Remote Management, does not work when trying to connect to mobile accounts on 10.7 Lion?
Please note, when I say through Remote Management, I mean that under System Prefs->Sharing->Screen Sharing is disabled but Remote Management is enabled. (Remote Management being able to provide it's own screen sharing)
Also I dont mean VNC... please make sure the "VNC viewers may control my screen with password" option is turned off under System Prefs->Sharing->Remote Management->Computer Settings

I can confirm this. Same experience here on a 10.7.2 Mac.
I get a "Please verify you have entered the correct name and password".
Does this work on 10.6? I'm unable to check at the moment.

Second question:
How do I load 2 downloaded CD's. I want to get the info on the second disk to load???

ORA-12154 indicates that you're having problems connecting, not that you're having problems with passwords.
If you don't have a database on your local machine, what database are you trying to connect to? You'll need to contact the DBA of the remote database and ask for the connection information (SID or SERVICE_NAME, HOST, PORT, etc).
I'm not sure what you're asking with regard to the downloaded CD's. Is this data you're trying to load into a database? Are these Oracle CD's?

Blocked Account; Resetting Password Not Working

Over a week ago my account was blocked due to suspicious activity. I have followed the instructions to reset my password six times now and I am still told that I cannot purchase Skype credits or use the $25 I already have in my account. Every time I report this to customer service via email, I get the same response with a link to reset my password. This is getting ridiculous. I feel like I'm just going around in circles and now I have $25 in Skype credits that I can't even use.

Hello,

HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

Hi, Carmen.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

Active Directory Mobile Account not working

Hello all. I've successfully joined a few macs to an Active Directory domain. However, I have a laptop that needs to be able to authenticate even when away from the network. The "Create Mobile Account" checkbox seems perfect for the job. From my reading, it seems that it is supposed to cache login authentication info from network login users. Then when the computer doesn't have a network connection, it uses the cached credentials. Upon 1st login it asks if I want to create a mobile account, and I say yes. However, it doesn't work accross a reboot.
If I reboot the computer without an network connection, and then try to authenticate at the login screen with my network user, the password field "shakes" as if I got it wrong.
However, I know it is sorta working because if I type >console into the user field, I get dumped to the console, where I can successfully login using the network user's credentials. Even without a network connection. But not from the gui login screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Abbas,
You can find active directory synchronization option under PWA settings >> Operation Policies
1.In Project Web App, click the Settings icon, and then click Project Web App Settings.
2.On the Project Web App Server Settings page, in the Operational Policies section, click Active Directory Resource Pool Synchronization
3. On this page, you need to enter the Active directory Group which contains the users you want to sync and then click on save and synchronize.
You can check the status of the Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization by returning to the Active Directory Enterprise Resource Pool Synchronization page and reviewing the information in the
Synchronization Status section. It contains information such as when the last successful synchronization occurred. If last synchronization failed for any reason, it will also post a timestamp of when it occurred if you wanted to search
for more information in the ULS logs.
Let us know the results.
You can find more information on AD sync at

Thank you,

Getting Mobile Accounts to work with Active Directory

Just curious to see if anyone got this to work. I am running OSX server version 10.4.4. I binded the server via directory access to our Active Directory Domain. I could see the active directory accounts in Workgroup manager and was able to get client Mac systems to log in using their AD account info. When I tried to set up the accounts as mobile accounts I ran into probelms. When you enter your login info on the client end, the screen would just go to a blnak blue desktop and not get any further. Anyone have any luck getting their AD accounts set up on the client Macs running as mobile directories?

Heh. Yeah, and tried switching it on and off a few times, too.
I think I might have found the problem, but I think I might have also borked my ability to play with it tonight -- in the Advanced Rules section in the firewall settings, there were a bunch of "deny" rules in there that weren't enabled... I guessed that those needed to be turned on, so that it would deny everything by default, but then allow the stuff I want through (set on the other page).
Except after enabling those, I now can't connect to the server with ARD any more. Oops.
The good news is that at least I also can't mount AFP shares from here any more either.
The bad news is that when logging into the MacBook now, with my mobile account, it still starts up the Home Sync process on login (after spending about 35 seconds doing nothing after entering the password), and then hangs there for about 2 minutes trying to contact the sync server before giving up and continuing with the login properly -- this is what I was hoping to avoid.

Mobile Accounts: Manual Sync works, Automated Sync Does Not

I've got a small office network with about 10 users. Each have mobile accounts under Tiger (server and clients) and they've been working flawlessly for years.
All of a sudden we've noticed that for some users the background sync is no longer working. If they choose "Sync Home Now" from the menu the sync runs else. Otherwise, it does not run at all.
All background syncing is set (via WGM) to run every 30 minutes.
What is the best way to debug this?
Thanks!
scotto

if you configure mobile prefs to popup a dialog to confirm creating a mobile account on new machines, train them to choose "no," and they'll login with network homes on other machines.

Sudo doesn't work anymore, not permitting me to enter password

Since two days, sudo doesn't work for me anymore. When I do
sudo any_command
I get:
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
I updated my server two days ago, but I cannot say whether it's related to my problem.
Here's the result of doing
tail /var/log/sudolog
as root (su works):
Oct 13 12:35:33 : kalasusi : 3 incorrect password attempts ; TTY=pts/2 ; PWD=/etc; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/ls
Here's the result of doing
tail /var/log/auth.log
as root (the last new lines after trying sudo again with my normal user):
Oct 13 14:52:59 myserver sudo: pam_unix(sudo:auth): authentication failure; logname=kalasusi uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/pts/1 ruser=kalasusi rhost= user=kalasusi
Oct 13 14:53:05 myserver sudo: kalasusi : 3 incorrect password attempts ; TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/home/kalasusi ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/ls
For some background info, the sudo troubleshooting guide identifies such a problem (the third Q&A):
Q) Sudo never gives me a chance to enter a password using PAM, it just
says 'Sorry, try again.' three times and exits.
A) You didn't setup PAM to work with sudo. On Redhat Linux or Fedora
Core this generally means installing sample.pam as /etc/pam.d/sudo.
See the sample.pam file for hints on what to use for other Linux
systems.
The only problem is that I didn't change anything from the Arch stock configuration of /etc/pam.d/sudo, and it used to work. Here's the result of
cat /etc/pam.d/sudo
on my system:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_unix.so
auth required pam_nologin.so
Something else that comes into my mind that might be connected with the problem is that at some point while doing maintenance on the server, I received the following error:
Authentication token manipulation error.
Unfortunately I don't remember in what context it was or whether the problem started afterwards. I believe though the problem is either that or the update, because those are the two extraordinary things that happened on the server since the problem started.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Apple does not participate in these forums. We're only users like you.

I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

You can't. Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID. In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer. And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:

Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.
