Need help determining why 10.6.x clients take FOREVER to login to X Serve

Issue:
New MacBooks running of 10.6.x are taking a ridiculous amount of time to log in to network as clients.
FIle Server (location of Open Directory):
Xserve G5
2 x 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5
8 GB Memory
Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 (Build 9L34)
Client Computers:
17" Intel iMacs (mostly running TIger, starting to image with Leopard)
17" G5 iMacs (running Tiger)
20" Intel iMacs (all running 10.5.8)
MacBook unibodies (shipped with 10.6 and upgraded to 10.6.2)
Current situation:
1. Extreme lag time on Snow Leopard MacBook login for network clients—we are looking at well over 90 seconds. BUT, once logged in, the machines log out quickly with no issues.
2. Local accounts log in with no issue and shared computers/servers are showing up in the finder.
3. Used Migration Assistant on first new MacBook to "clone" current Applications and accounts from a 10.5.8 master computer and proceeded to update the unit to 10.6.2. Unboxed another new MacBook and did not use MA but instead set up the unit to the our network using Directory Utility. Both machines behave similarly when trying to log in using a client's account. The only difference I can tell is during the actual login box. The migrated MacBook switches from name/password to the "Logging In..." progress bar (which takes up to 2 minutes). The "factory" MacBook stays on the name/password login box with a carousel-ing progress circle to the right of the text boxes.
4. I've triple checked all the Network/Directory/Account settings on our master 10.5.8 machine (which accesses the network for all clients and run perfectly) vs. the two new MacBooks with 10.6.2—no differences. Maybe that is the problem.....
5. Unfortunately, we are using a jumble of OSs here. Tiger, Leopard, and now Snow Leopard. We manage accounts using WorkGroupManager (both from 10.5 and 10.4—probably not the best idea)
Questions:
Do Snow Leopard machines need folder relocation for things such as Directory?
Does our X Serve need to be altered in anyway?
Your expertise is needed....
Thank you in advance for any input

Past migrations can get pretty messy.
I'm sure the root of your problem lies in your ldapv3 settings; including contacts and searches
Revisit the directory settings, via system prefs--> accounts.
Look for older "migrated" setting that are no longer needed.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
You're welcome.

Need help determining why my podcast has disappeared from the iTunes store.

For a while, the last ten episodes or so were missing, but now the entire show is gone. The feed url is: www.warrenandbradley.com/feed/podcast
The feed seems to be perfectly valid and work just fine. I can't think of anything I've changed, and have been submitting new episodes very regularly. Is there any way to determine why it's disappeared from iTunes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I am forced to submit it again, would this mean that I'd lose all my subscribers?
So far you haven't lost any subscribers because your feed is still there - they read it directly and the Store is not involved. It's just that without the Store you aren't likely to get any new ones.
If you can manage to resubmit it by changing the title but not the feed URL then it won't affect subscribers. However sometimes you need to change both (and it can help to change the contents of the 'link' tag) and of course if you change the URL your subscribers will lose contact with you.
You can get round this by adding the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the existing feed, redirecting to the new feed - this will seamlessly move subscribers to the new feed (provided of course that you have access to the feed to edit it). The details are given here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
(It refers to moving the Store to the new feed; of course this isn't relevant here, but it applies equally to subscribers.)

Need help determining why my nothing is showing up after setting up site to site vpn

Ok, so I'm am trying to figure out why I can't get nothing to show up when I do sh crypto isakmp sa or sh crypto ipsec sa. I did the basic setup for a site to site vpn and I can ping across both networks just fine no problem. So when I ping from a pc in the 172.16.0.0 network to 192.168.0.0 network there is no problem at all because the pings are recieved just fine. But when I go to sh crypto isakmp sa, there is just nothing there and I can't for the life of me figure out why. I looked at my sh run for both routers and everything looks fine, but I guess I may be overlooking something. If someone could help me diagnose this problem I would truely appreciate. I have attached my packet tracer file and both routers are using the password binary. I put the password on there for the sake of it and to have a more real feel.

Here are the show runs for both routers

Need Help Determining Least Common Demoninator for Frame Rate, Codec, and Workflow

I need help determining the best timeline setting and Compressor workflow to integrate footage with varying frame rates and codecs that I'm currently upres'ing for a multi-camera concert performance destined for HD broadcast output. I'm assuming the network needs 29.97.
Thus far, I've been working with Apple ProRes Proxy files to create lo-res edits. Now, I've started the task of offlining and ingesting new, HD clips from the proxy references. The content originates from either Panasonic HVX200 or Panasonic GH1 cameras.
Looking at the material, it appears the cameras were not shooting with the same settings and, somehow, a PAL GH1 got into the mix. Some of the performances have the PAL GH1 and other do not.
Here's the breakdown of the varying sources. I got this info from the Log & Transfer columns.
HVX Cameras
Format: 1080p24
Source Format: DVCPRO HD 1080i60
Shooting Rate: 24
Vid Rate: 29.97
TC Format: Non-Drop
GH1 NTSC
Format: 1080i60
Source Format: AVCHD 1080i60
Shooting Rate: 30
Video Rate: 29.97
TC Format: Drop
GH1 PAL
Format: 1080i50
Source Format: AVCHD 1080i50
Shooting Rate: 25
Video Rate: 25
TC Format: Non-Drop
ANOTHER GH1 NTSC
Format: 1080p24
Source Format: AVCHD 1080p24
Shooting Rate: 24
Video Rate: 23.98
TC Format: Non-Drop

Call the TV station/network and get their spec sheet first. You need to know more than frame rate.
Once you have that, you can work backwards to arrive at a workflow.
As a general priniciple, you'll get a more seamless translation of format when you add frames rather than removing them. (eg 24p to 27.97 rather than 29.97 to 24p)
At least all the material starts out in the 1080 world.
Do all your conversions before you start editing. (I'd use ProRes or ProRes LT for the editing codec).
Budget a bunch of time to sync the material or figure out a quick cutting style that minimizes sync drift.
What a nightmare.

Hello everyone I need help! Why i cant Update to Mountain Lion if Im gonna try to update my Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5. It always says "Your Software is up to date" which is only Mac Os X ver. 10.7.5

Not sure what exactly you did (or not), but it looks as if you should attempt doing it all again, only this time all right and by the book. Many millions have done so, and sure it'll work for you as well.
If you've indeed purchased ML already, you'll find it exactly there in the App Store: under Purchases.

When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

You are talking to fellow users on these forums, not iTunes Support or Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
For the Camera app, try closing it via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the iPad's screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
In terms of syncing, you will need iTunes on your computer - if you haven't already downloaded it then you can do so from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can conncet the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar on iTunes 11 on a PC via control-S), and use the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to sycn your content to the iPad.

If you haven't yet synced your iPad to your computer you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
For the excel file, what app are you viewing/editing it in ? If the values are different then it may be that the app that you are using doesn't support all the formulas that are being used in the spreadsheet. Apps that 'support' excel documents include Apple's Numbers app, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.

Hi,
Its showing inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the database.
Have you run Test-Run before performing actual client copy ?
Please check the Consistency of affected Tables.
SE11 -> Display Table -> Utilities -> Database Object -> Check
(check DB Object as well as Run time Object)
Please refer this [SAP Note 686357 - Table pool length incorrect after Unicode conversion|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/686357] to get more information. The relevant solution is mentioned there if the pool tables having inconsistency with VARDATA field.
Also refer SAP Note 1171306 - Error with pooled tables when copying a client.

I need help diagnosing why my Macbook pro is crashing my internet?

Hi, I need help diagnosing a problem with my macbook pro early 2011. For the past two weeks all of a sudden my internet was crashing and really slow. Finally I was getting so fed up I called my internet provider and we ruled out that it isnt the cable modem or router. When I turned my macbook off everything was working fine and all my tablets and apple TV was streaming fine with the speeds I pay for. I've already went to the genius bar and they did a clean install of maverick. After the clean install the internet worked for one day and the next day when I got home at night it stopped working. Went to the genius bar once more and took my router and the problem was encountering the same at the store we reseted the router and everything worked fine again. When I got home I reseted the router setup up with new ssisd and same problem internet crashing. Finally I decided to make another account and the internet was working fine again. Before going to my second trip to the genius bar I made a second account which was working good with good internet speeds, but I still decided to go in cause I don't want to have to have multiple accounts since I'm the only user. Right now the only way the internet isn't crashing is using another account rather than the administer account. Please help cause I've already went to the apple store twice and feel like I'm at the end of the road and never going to fix the problem

I need help with Tiger 10.4.11 saving / deleting files on a Win 2003 Server

Some of my Mac users are experiencing extremely slow file saves to my Windows Server 2003 server. It is not specific to file types. Illustrator, Quark all take forever and the file size is not the issue either. They are also having to force quit Finder after attempting to delete files from the Server.
I have found that if they boot into Safe Boot they can delete the files without a problem. As soon as I do a normal login the problem returns.
The problem seems to be specific to the machine. If user A logs on to her Mac she has problems deleting files from the server. If she logs into a Mac that isn't having problems (using her login) she doesn't have problems. If User B who has no problems on her Mac logs into User A's Mac then User B will have the same problems.
In order to rebind the Mac to the Active Directory I had to remove the Mac from AD. So I don't think it's the Computer's SID. I even tried unbinding the Mac, changing it's name and then Binding it to AD. Same problems.
I thought it was the Mac and just wasted a day wiping the Mac and reinstalling everything on it, but when I went to delete a file from the Server, finder locked up and I had to force quit finder.
I even changed the IP Address of one of the Macs having problems, but that didn't work either.
I've done a Permission repair as well with no change.
Anyone help?

OK, there was a System Events in the System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items, but after removing it and restarting I still had to force quit finder after attempting to delete some files off of the server.
I do not have (or can't find) the /private/var/run/startupitems.
The Library/StartupItems has 2 entries: AdobeVersionQueCS2 and IntegoCommon, both of which I removed the other day and tried to delete files after rebooting with the usual (not good) result.
In the System/Library/StartupItems there are 16 items. I will list them as I am not sure what shouldn't be there. I believe that they should all be from Apple though:
Apache
AppleShare
AuthServer
CrashReporter
Disks
FibreChannel
IFCStart
IPServices
Metadata
NetworkTime
NFS
NIS
PrintingServices
RemoteDesktopAgent
SNMP
Thanks for your help so far.

Need help understanding why "1 is always equal to 1" is necessary in my Advanced Action

I am using Captivate 7 and publishing as a SWF.
I have an interaction that works, but there's one script that I use (which I found in a tutorial) that I don't understand the purpose of.
The interaction is contained on a single slide where a user clicks two buttons in any order and a graphic appears after the second click. On each button I have a Conditional Advanced Action where I first check that it will always be true that "1 is equal to 1", then assign each variable with "1", then check that each variable was equal to 1 after which the graphic appears.
The part that confuses me is checking if "1 is always equal to 1." Why is this script necessary in this case? Is it necessary because I'm including a Standard Advanced Action (assigning variables to "1") within the Conditional Advanced Action? Or is related to the fact that I'm doing everything on one slide (not using an On Enter slide event executing a Conditional Advanced Action)?
Thanks.

Perhaps it will help to think using different terms.
If you need a script that performs a check against some condition, you need a Conditional Action. Maybe you need to show an image if button 1 has been clicked. And if button 2 has been clicked, you need to show a different image.
Before checking to see which button has been pressed, you need to hide both images so that only the desired image is shown. So you need to perform the same action each time before checking some variable to take a specific action.
This is where the "If 1=1" would come from.
Each time the script is run, hide both images. Since the check to see if 1=1 will ALWAYS evaluate as true, the "ELSE" part will never be reached. So you would always perform the same actions just as a Standard Action would do.
Perhaps if you posted some screen captures of your scripts, we might better explain it.
Cheers... Rick

Need help: Using JMS to callback a client.

Hi everyone,
I'm having a very frustrating problem. I'm just started to use JMS to overcome callback
problem with EJBs. I simply want my EJB to send something (pub/sub) to my client so it
can update some display. I first instantiate my Client and TopicConnection etc. etc. then
create the EJB, invoke it and the EJB sends some TextMessage back. However, the TextMessage
never seems to arrive at my Client. The TextListener never seems to deliver.
Here's the snippet:
EJB:
private void createPublisher() {
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
System.out.println("Server looking up JMS Service");
TopicConnectionFactory conFtry = (TopicConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("java:com
p/env/jms/MobiDTopicConnectionFactory");
topic = (Topic) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jms/TopicName");
con = conFtry.createTopicConnection();
session = con.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
publisher = session.createPublisher(topic);
TextMessage mesg = session.createTextMessage();
System.out.println("Server is sending message, see anything?");
mesg.setText("This is from publisher");
publisher.publish(mesg);
// Exception catching stuff snipped.
public void ejbCreate() { createPublisher(); }
Client:
public void createSubscriber() {
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
TopicConnectionFactory conFtry = (TopicConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("java:com
p/env/jms/MobiDTopicConnectionFactory");
Topic topic = (Topic) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jms/TopicName");
con = conFtry.createTopicConnection();
session = con.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
subscriber = session.createSubscriber(topic);
subscriber.setMessageListener(new TextListener());
con.start();
System.out.println("Connection started");
// Exception stuff snipped.
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
ConverterClient cc = new ConverterClient();
cc.createSubscriber();
System.out.println("Subscriber is ready");
Context initial = new InitialContext();
System.out.println("Looking up the bean...");
Object ref = initial.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/SimpleConverter");
System.out.println("Getting the home interface");
ConverterHome home = (ConverterHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,
ConverterHome.class);
Converter conv = home.create();
double amount = conv.dollarToYen(100.00);
InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
char answer = '\0';
while (!((answer == 'q') || (answer == 'Q'))) {
try {
answer = (char) inputStreamReader.read();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("I/O exception: "
+ e.toString());
Can anyone spot what's wrong with the code? I've been trying to get this to work for the
past two days but to no avail. Please help...
Thank you in advance.

Hi, thanks for all your reply.
The TextListener is the one downloaded from this website in the
tutorial but I used it in different program. Here's the TextListener:
public void onMessage(Message message) {
System.out.println("Receiving message in onMessage()");
TextMessage msg = null;
try {
if (message instanceof TextMessage) {
msg = (TextMessage) message;
System.out.println("Reading message: " +
msg.getText());
} else {
System.out.println("Message of wrong type: " +
message.getClass().getName());
} catch (JMSException e) {
System.out.println("JMSException in onMessage(): " +
e.toString());
} catch (Throwable t) {
System.out.println("Exception in onMessage():" +
t.getMessage());
Strangely, this does not work as it never print the message. Can't see what's
wrong from a glance though and I'm not getting any error message whatsoever.
However, I tried my own listener:
static class MyListener implements MessageListener {
public MyListener() { }
public void onMessage(Message msg) {
try {
System.out.println("Message received: " + ((TextMessage) msg).getText())
catch(JMSException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
And this works...I just don't get it. MyListener is a static because I used it in my main().
Anyone can give any comment?
thanks,

I need help. Why isn't my bluetooth working anymore?

I have a 20 inch iMac. I use a bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse. Recently, my mac displayed that the connection of my mouse nd keyboard were lost. I used an old keyboard and mouse to go o system prefs. but there was nothing there and when went to spotlight and clicked bluetooth mouse, it said the following message
"The Bluetooth tab of Keyboard & Mouse preferences is hidden because you don't have a Bluetooth module installed or attached to your computer."
But I have been using bluetooth for a while now. Please help me find out why it stopped all of the sudden. Thanks

Did you try shutting down (powering off) the iMac, and starting up again, if you have not done so since this problem occurred?
If Bluetooth appears in System Preferences Network pane as a networking service (in the sidebar), and you don't use Bluetooth for networking, try removing it from the sidebar. You can always add it back later. Then restart.
