New Mobile Account works on only one of two MacBook Pros

I am setting up mobile accounts for my small company. I have two accounts, two MacBook Pros and one MacMini with OS X Snow Leopard Server. One mobile account works fine on both of my portables and the other one only works on one of the portables.
On the portable that does not allow the creation of the mobile account I get a message at logon stating "Unable to create mobile account... There was a problem creating your mobile account".
The /var/log/secure.log on the MacBook Pro has these entries:
loginwindow[46]: Login Window - Returned from Security Agent
loginwindow[46]: AuthorizationRef returned an error (-60006), with username = randy.kahle
loginwindow[46]: This indicates that a SecurityAgent plugin has returned something other than errAuthorizationDenied (usually cancelled) after the auth record is set up.
All of the entries in secure.log indicate that authentication was fine and the home directory mounts occurred correctly.
Both the OS X 10.6.4 server and client have the latest software updates.

Yup, that did the trick.  The other Macbook had sharing on.
Thanks

  • Installing a printer works on only one of  two Macbooks

    I have 10.7.5 on two Macbooks.  One installs the Brother HL-5250DN from software already on the machine.  It works fine.
    The other Macbook wants to download the printer drivers from Apple despite the drivers already being on the machine.  This printer was installed on this machine before and new drivers have been downloaded from the manufacturer.
    Now it tries to download from Apple, then I get the message that the software is not available and to obtain it from the manufacturer, which I have already done.
    However, I cannot stop it from going to Apple for the drivers, making it impossible to install.
    Anyway to make it stop trying to download the drivers from Apple and use those that are already on the machine?

    Yup, that did the trick.  The other Macbook had sharing on.
    Thanks

  • How to use only one core for Macbook Pro?

    I know that Macbook Pro is a dual-core CPU Macbook. I know I can do this by using battery only. But are there any ways that I can turn off one core in the system while keep the power adapter plugged in? Thank you!

    Navigate to /Library/Application Support/HWPrefs and launch the CPUPalette program.
    (If you don’t find it there, insert your Leopard install disc, click on Optional Installs, select Packages, and double-click on CHUD.pkg; that will install CPUPalette.)
    It will display two graphs showing how busy your CPU’s cores are, and let you disable one or more of them. Click on the oblong button in the upper right corner to reveal a settings panel where you can adjust transparency, sample interval and history, and chart format.

  • Why is Gmail SMTP server working for only one of two accounts?

    iPhone 4S, with all updates.
    I have two gmail accounts, primary and secondary.  I have both accounts set to use smtp.gmail.com, with password authentication for each account.
    Primary account can send just fine using SMTP.  Secondary account cannot send through it's "own" server (i.e., [email protected]) and sent messages failover to the primary account server ([email protected]).  Of course, that means recipients see the email as coming from the primary account, which is totally contrary to the reason I have it.
    Settings for smtp are identical, except for username and password.  I can send using the secondary account in Mail on my Mac, using that server, with messages showing properly (i.e. from [email protected]).
    Any ideas what's going on?

    On the iPhone that can't send or receive iMessages, make sure iMessage is On in Settings > Message.
    Also, try the tips in this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If you still can't send or receive iMessages
    To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    iOS: Troubleshooting cellular data
    Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
    If iMessage is unavailable either on the sending or receiving device, SMS will be used. You can turn this on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    Note: To receive iMessages sent to your phone number on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, you must meet the following requirements:
    iPad or iPod touch using iOS 6 or a Mac using OS X 10.8.2.
    Verify that you are signed in to your Apple ID account on Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

  • I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day.  It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account.  The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines.  Any ideas what is causing this?

    I have an email account causes the machine to hang up after being in use for a day.  It only occurs on my Macbook Pro and only one particular account.  The problem account works fine on my iMac and Windows Machines.  I have been to the local Genius bar and through trial and error we have determined that Mail is working ok but somehow the account is causing the problem.  I have used this account for years.  Any ideas what is causing this?

    No idea why, but one thing you may try if you have the time, is create a new user, and set up the problem mail account in the new user space. See if it causes your MBP to hang as well.  That will tell you if it is something wrong with your main User, or something wrong with MBP.
    Assuming this works, I'd nuke the problem account in your main user space, re-start, and reinititate the account and see if that helps.
    Depening on how many email accounts you have setup, it may be necessary to nuke the whole Mail folder in your User/Library....   Hard way to get it to work, but just my idea.

  • I have lost the remote that was paired. I bought another remote, but the procedure to pair the new one does not work. I suspect the the AT will work with only one remote at-a-time and i have to unpaid the first before pairing the second. How do I unpair?

    I have lost the remote that was paired. I bought another remote, but the procedure to pair the new one does not work. I suspect the the AT will work with only one remote at-a-time and i have to unpair the first before pairing the second. If this is true, how do I unpair? If not, what can I do?

    I was premature in posting the question. I found the answer in andother posting, and it was successful.

  • Creating iphoto book and can't seem to view/ work on only one page at a time.

    I am creating an iPhoto book and can't seem to view/work on only one page at a time.  The Navigator, that allows you to focus on a part of the page is actually 1 1/2 pages in size so 1 1/2 pages are in view when trying to work on one page.  What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this.  It is very distracting viewing half of a previous page when trying to create a new page and write a story to go with the related pictures.

    My Navigator seems to be to large.  It covers 1 1/2 pages while in the training information it shows as the size of one page.  Is there a way to adjust the size of the Navigator?
    You can hover the mouse over the left border of the Navigator - then the cursor will turn into a resize cursor and you can drag the border and make the Navigator panel smaller by enlarging the source list.
    Or drag the lower right corner of the iPhoto window and shrink the appliaction window. This will only make the navigator smaller - the source list and information panel will stay the same size.
    Regards

  • Why won't my iMessage work with only one contact in my phone all my other iMessages send and they just got an iphone but all their iMessages are sending also. I've tried restarting my phone, deleting messages, contact, restarting network

    Hello Jesslb23,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices.  If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

    Can I get rid of one  ID?  How do I do that?

    one on my MacBook Pro
    That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
    If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud.  I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
    Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

  • Our Band purchased Logic Pro and it was loaded to one member's Macbook Pro. Unfortunately, he passed away with cancer in May. How can we transfer the ownership and the software (it was downloaded) to a new user's Macbook?

    Hi Kurt,
    The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck. 
    I think it's best that take  this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
    Thank you for your time and interest in helping.

  • Clean install and migration of only one or two program

    How does one do a clean install and migrate only one or two applications.

    I don't believe there is a "clean install" on the Snow Leopard disk if you launch the install from your standard system boot. I believe you need to:
    1) Put the SL disk in the machine drive.
    2) Restart your machine.
    3) Hold down the 'c' key during startup, to boot from the SL disk.
    4) Once the system boots up, it starts the Snow Leopard install process. However, you have a menu bar where you can run several system utilities, such as Disk Utility.
    5) Run Disk Utility and erase/reformat the main system harddisk. This will give you a "clean" disk to install Snow Leopard on.
    6) After Disk Utility finishes, proceed with the install process.
    7) After intallation of Snow Leopard, restore any apps/data you want from backups and/or original installation packages.
    Hope this helps,
    j0hn
