Network user switching from log in screen in Mavericks

I have an iMac set up for network users, but I can't seem to figure out how to switch users from the login screen after a time out screen lock. That is, if I'm logged on to the machine, and walk away from it and it autmatically locks the screen, how can another network user log on at that point? This seems like it should be a pretty basic feature, like it is in (stupid) Windows.
I'm running:
OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
iMac (2013) 2.7 GHz

Hi,
i am experiencing smiliar problem:
Sep 21 23:09:40 Xserve slapd[40]: SASL [conn=143] Failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (No principal in keytab matches desired name)
Sep 21 23:15:41 Xserve slapd[40]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)
several times - every time a user from a Mac (iMac with Intel processor and 10.5.8 OS X) tries to log in.
Remark: There are some windows-Workstations that login on Active Directory and work fine!
Does anyone have some ideas how to solve that problem?
Thanks!

an unprotected wifi network brings up the log in screen that goes to the apple home page. how do I prevent this?

This seems to be the best working option (while not 100% success):
From Demo:
Try this.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Transferring network user files from Windows Server 2003 to Mac OSX 10.5.8

I'm wondering if any network admins out there have a suggested method of transferring network user files from a Windows Server 2003 to an XServe running 10.5.8?
When we did the file transfer, clicking and dragging, there were a myriad permissions issues that subsequently arose. Surely there is a way to strip permissions off files PRIOR to the transfer?? Maybe not, but I'm wondering how you folks have done it.
We have had nothing but persistent permissions issues since the transfer (i.e. folks who should have access to files, being denied access, including the local server admin!!). This also translates to synch errors for network mobile accounts.

Fast User Switching From Screen Saver

How can I make my Mac display the login screen (as though I'd selected "Login window" from the fast user switching menu) after the session has been idle for a certain time?
I can make it log out after some amount of inactivity, but I don't want that. I want my programs to continue running.
I can also set the screen saver to require a password, and clicking the "Switch user" button on the password dialog will display the login screen. I'd effectively like to skip that step and go directly to the login screen without having to push the button.
note: I stole the wording of this question directly from here , which was posted 2 1/2 years ago. One solution then was to download a custom Script Saver and use a custom Apple Script, and the other was to purchase a 3-rd party product which costs $50.
The reason I want to do this is because I am setting up an iMac for a family with small children. The iMac will be shared by 4 people, and training the kids to click on the "Switch User" button is a hopeless task, so please don't suggest "train the users to click on the 'Switch User' button".
Also, this is not my computer. I want to keep the solution as simple and fool-proof as possible, becuase I don't want to get called if something breaks (which is why I'm disinclined to use a script or buy a 3-rd party product I don't trust).

PS -- Script Saver has been discontinued.

So that's not an option anyway.

Network users can't log on to client computers

Hi,
This is my first OSX server install, so bear with me if I am missing something!
I have searched for a solution, but cant find one similar maybe I am doing something drastically wrong?
The Problem Summarised;
New Mac OSX Snow Leopards Mac Mini server, clean install.
New iMac OSX Snow Leopard Client.
Can not log in using the network users. I have joined to the open directory, I get a green dot saying network available and all network users listed.
When I try to login, the OSX Login screen shakes as if incorrect password is being used.
In a bit more detail
Ok, I have installed a new Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, created a handful of user accounts and then bound my iMac snow leopard client to the server (using the open directory utility under the accounts login preferences).
I have also added the computer as a client computer under the servers workgroup manager app.
I have also (using the workgroup manager on server) selected the client computer, selected preferences and added the users to the access part.
The client now shows the OSX login box with a green dot saying network accounts available. The network accounts all appear.
However, when I try to login as one of the network users, the login box just shakes and wont let me login.
Any ideas? If there is a known bit of documentation, could someone point me to it?
* saw this posted in a different secretion and I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

My guess is:
Have you created or pointed their home directories to a specific location?
Each network user in WGM user needs to have their home directories defined to a folder on the local machine or a folder/location on the server. Here is an example... my user has it's Home defined as being within the /Users folder.

If this is not done, you will see the results you've described so far... the appearance of a successful login, then the shaking login window.

Im a long time Android user switching to the iphone 6 plus. What is the experience of the first time iphone users switching from Android

I had the Gal note 3 then was given a SGS5 for a replace because the Note3 had issues.
Couldnt stand the screen size so I had to go back to the larger screen.
I decided to go with the iphone 6 plus.
So for those who have made the switch from android to apple for the first time what
has you experience been like.
I am an ipad user but want to know peoples opinions that have switched phones.
One thing I dislike and I know you can change it; it seems like google want to
force you to use chrome which I cannot stand

Hi zharvey85,
I truly apologize for your experience at the store. However, we provided the pre order as a way to avoid needing to go to store as inventory availability are subject to change without notice. The pre order secures the device and the other email was for the shipping information. Perhaps you can re order the device online to get the ball rolling for you to get your iPhone 6 plus as desired as opposed to going to the store of which inventory can change depending on the availability.
Thank you!

Remembering windows positions when switching from/to dual screen display

Hello,
Most of the time, a second LCD screen is plugged in my Macbook and configured as the main display. When I arrange the windows, I keep iTunes or my mail application maximized on the macbook screen and use the bigger external screen for all other windows.
If I unplug the external display, all the windows are of course moved to the laptop display. When I plug again the external screen, all the windows are moved to the external display. But I would like the iTunes and mail application to remain on the laptop screen.
Is there any utility to remember the windows positions and arrange them automatically when I switch from/to single/dual-screen display?
Regards,
Raph

Would DisplayWatcher do what you want? I came across this a couple of weeks ago but haven't had the chance to try it out yet.

All users prevented from logging in

After upgrade Server to Yosemite ALL users are prevented from logging in. In server app clicking on a user name shows this for each user:
And there doesn't seem to be any way to make "log in" active…
Ideas?

Never expect any server migration to succeed. Restore from a backup, then export the users. Copy the startup volume to an external drive and upgrade that. Test. If the same thing happens, destroy the OD master and import the users as a test.

Network users not appearing on login screen

Hi all. I have just started setting up Lion Server for my household however have a slight issue with allowing network users to logon to devices. If I allow usernames and passwords to be typed in manually then network users can login, however if I want to have them show up as users on the login screen it doesn't work.
Is there a way for network users to be visible on the login screen at all times please? There are only two network users in my house.
Thanks,
Jordan

See my reply here https://discussions.apple.com/message/16280642 where I previously described how to do this.You will need Workgroup Manager installed for Lion if you have not already downloaded and installed this. You can get it here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1419

Can't get user account from 10.7.5 to Mavericks with Migration Assistant

I am perplexed about this one. I want to use migration assistant to get a user account from an old Mac Pro running 10.7.5 to a 2012 iMac that has Mavericks on it.
I've tried:
1 - Migration assistant over the network - migration assistant says the Mac Pro needs a higher operating system, but the computer can't be upgraded.
2 - Target mode of Mac Pro to iMac: Migration assistant sees the volume, but doesn't acknowledge any user accounts. It only acknowledges applications, and other files.
Any ideas folks. I simply want to bring the user accout over to the new computer and perhaps the applications.

LOL - I figured it out. I had to update the Mac Pro which included a new migration assistant update.

New user - switched from PC to Mac and can't figure out some mail issues

I looked at the software discussions and they didn't have one for something as simple as mail! I've also checked mail help and the online support and Switch 101 and Mac 101. All of them tell me I can do something but not how in very simple steps.
In the Apple store they were using all this fancy stationery for e-mail. Even my e-mail program looks different from the one in Mac 101.
I want to do 2 things. Use stationery and write those little "to-do" notes and I can't figure out how. On Mac 101 it shows a message and right below the address lines is a box with stationery menus, like birthdays, invitations etc. I don't have that box. I have the address lines and then jut the place where you write the e-mail. No stationery, no notes.
Thanks,
Susan

I am on a new message. There is no photo browser (I'd do a screen shot if I knew how but I only know how to do that on a PC).
On a new mail message (I went to file and clicked new message) I have the 3 dots in the left corner (to close, minimize, etc) and under that some icons (send, chat, attach, address colors, save as draft). The the To: line, the CC: line, the Subject: line and account line (next to the account line i have a drop down box to customize) Then the body of the e-mail that I type in. Thats it, no stationary, no photo browser.
Again my mail program is 2.1.1 and from my serching it seems that 3.0 is the latest mail program. I clicked the little apple in the left upper corner of my mail program and had it search for updates but it said there were none.
This is so frustrating to buy a new computer with old software. I'm guessing I have leopard but I have no idea how to see what version of the OS I have. Again I bought this thing on Friday, 3 days ago.

OS X maverick - I want the swipe function to switch from one full-screen application to another, is it possible?

Hi everyone,
I just updated my mid-2010 MacBook Pro to the OS X Maverick. However, a friend of mine has Mountain Lion, and she has this really cool function that lets her swipe the keyboard to change the view from one "screen" to another, so for example she might have word open in one screen and safari in another. Can I do it in OS X Maverick as well? And if it isn't possible in Maverick, can I somehow update it so that I get the function? I've been trying to do the same with mine but it isn't working.. Really keen to get it to work as it would make life so much easier with writing essays and what not. I'm not very good with anything related to software, so forgive me if this seems like a silly question. Also, I'm not a native English speaker so my terminology might not be the best..
Cheers

Not a silly question at all.
The function is called Spaces, which lets you switch between different desktops. You can read about Spaces here: Mac 101: Using Spaces to organize your windows and applications (Mac OS X v10.5, 10.6)
If you click the symbol with the two opposite arrows, in the upper right corner of the window of an application that supports it, an app will open in full-screen mode.
Then you can configure the gestures that control Spaces in Applications > System Preferences > Trackpad > more gestures.
On my mac, for example, if I do a three finger swipe upwards, it opens Mission Control. Mission Control organizes the different desktops in Spaces. I can open a new desktop for Spaces, remove a desktop, or switch apps between desktops.
It probably doesn't make much sense when this is described in words, but if I were you I'd just jump in and experiment with it a bit. If you have more questions report back here.

Networking user account from eMac to use ONLY files from iMac??

Here's the deal:
I have a iMac G5 10.4 that is networked with a eMac 1.25ghz 10.4 through a LAN.
What I'm trying to do is configure two of the users on the eMac to only be able to access the files on the iMac so we can avoid multiple versions of the same files.
How do I do this?
I've already attempted to do it through the user limitations (parental controls) but there weren't enough options to allow the user to only find files on the iMac.
Please help!!
Many thanks!
iMac g5 + eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Elijah,
I'm not quite sure what it is you want to do; you must be more specific. Are you saying that you want eMac users to have HOME folders (and thus files) on the iMac, and the iMac only? This is possible, but it is very complicated and problematic.

User switch from internet

Hi,
I am developping a Netweaver (WebDynpro) application connecting to SAP ECC6. I do reading & writing accesses to the SAP database using RFC module. The connection is established with a Service user (user-deployed JRA). For writting accesses, I would like to change my service user for a dialog user in order to trace the changes with the user who did it.
I use the MF 'SUSR_INTERNET_USERSWITCH' but it doesn't work.
Could anyone help me ?
