Ready to throw my server through an apple store window

So I have my server up and running and most of the services work just fine, ie DNS AFP ical ichat.
Open Directory and user permissions has been driving me up a wall !
All my machines are locally bound, recognized and in a machine group.
1. None of my users can log into the wiki. period. the login window just shakes at me.
(previous post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1590145&tstart=0 )
2. Only locally created admin accounts are working to authorize installs and accept certificates, etc. Even though my account is set up as an admin.
(previous post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1592835&tstart=0)
3. I have created a group for editors, I granted them access to all local drives via WGM>machine group>preferences>media access. They are still having problems writing to local drives without a 'local admin' authentication. Also when they remote connect to another machine via afp, they only get access to their home folder and other users public folders, not the local drives. I band-aided this by going into sharing on the machine and dragging in all of the local drives and giving the editors group write permissions.
This is a really clumsy way to manage workgroup machines. I should be able to set 1 master setting in WGM and have all bound computers OBEY!
4: I cant get VPN to authenticate when I am outside the building, I am just going to assume it is a firewall issue, but its still another issue I am facing.
thank you for your time in my rant, and I shall bow at your feet if you can help me.

  • HT4528 I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I wanted to find out - can I bring my old iphone 4 to the apple store and get a new iphone 5 through the apple store instead of verizon?  Will it cost the same to get the phone as through Verizon?

    I am due for an upgrade on 5/23 and I am trying to find out if I can get my phone through the Apple store?  I have an iphone 4 and am hoping to upgrade to a iphone5.  Just want to make sure if the price is the same as if I went to a Verizon store to upgrad. 

    I don't believe they were looking for a trade in, they are due for a subsidized Verizon upgrade. I think the bringing the iPhone 4 was for setting it up and transferring as Verizon does not require you to swap your previous phone for an upgrade.

  • Can iphone 5 preorder through iphone apple store app port numbers or only process upgrades?

    can iphone 5 preorder through iphone apple store app port numbers or only process upgrades? for example, can you setup a new line of service to an existing verizon account and port the ATT number over using the apple store app on iphone?

    I have been waiting for a post like this.  Just ordered mine from AT&T and the tax is close to $52. At an 8% mark that also equals to $649.  I think they are charging full retail sales tax.  I called AT&T and they couldn't explain it to easily they started saying that there is an extra luxury tax but I think they don't know it's just full retail tax.  They also said that it's just a hold on my card by final charge will be processed when the phone gets shipped.
    I checked fine print of sprint and AT&T. Ecause when you upgrade online with AT&T you don't pay tax but it states that it will be collected at the time it shipped. Sprint charges $24 which is almost half but also claims that there might be an extra tax when it shipped. 
    I am puzzled by the whole issue.  But 25 bucks won't get me not to order my phone.  I was able to get credit from my carrier because of the competition in the form of statement credits.  Ordered 2 phones and een after crazy high tax I got one for red plus some :). Tax is crazy anyone else order it an have this issue please share

  • HT1338 Is the only way to get a software update through the Apple Store where you have to give a credit card?  I thought system updates are free.  I don't want to leave a credit card number with Apple.

  • I have a 4th gen 20G ipod whose hard drive has died.  Are replacement hard drives available through the apple store?

    I have a 4th gen 20G ipod whose hard drive has died.  Are replacement hard drives available through the apple store?

    I don't think Apple will do that repair for you, because the iPod is too old.  I believe the hard drive type used in 4th gen and older iPods is no longer produced.  There may be non-Apple shops who can do the repair, but they may be using a working part salvaged from a used iPod.
    If you want to do the repair work yourself, and you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Original
    (There are probably also YouTube videos on the topic.)
    NOTE:  There are two hard drive physical sizes.  The thick version has two platters, and corresponds to the "thick" iPods (with double storage capacity).  A 4th gen 20GB model should be the thin version.  The hard drive used in iPods up to 4th gen should work interchangeably, but 5th gen and later iPods use a different type.
    I have a 4th gen iPod that started out as a 20GB.  The hard drive failed, so I put a compact flash card on an adapter in there.  The adapter is like this one (I bought it a few years ago so it's probably not the same seller)
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Compact-Flash-CF-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapte r-Black-/121174875639
    The compact flash card is standard; I bought the cheapest one.  I currently have an 8GB card in there, but prices have come down, so I may get a 64GB card soon.  It works great with the 8GB card.  No more hard drive spin-up delay.  Battery lasts longer.  It's lighter.  And it should be more shock resistant.
    The only mod I needed to make on the adapter was to bend over two pins 90º, where you place a jumper to set the drive to "master."  The adapter plus CF card is actually smaller and thinner than just original 1.8-inch Toshiba hard drive; I used some thin foam packing material (cut to the right shape) to take up the excess space and ensure the adapter and card did not become disconnected.
    The 4th gen iPod has excellent sound, compared to some later iPods.

  • My itouch is gone, 2g, so no locator.  Can it be tracked by checking to see if apps or music have been downloaded on it through the apple store or itunes?

    My itouch is gone. 2g, so no locator.  Can it be tracked by checking to see if apps or music have been downloaded on it through the apple store or itunes? Does Apple know what specific device is downloading an app, etc. or by IP address?

    Apple will not help you track/find your Pod or report anything special to you. If you get an email saying that something was purchased with your iTunes account then that indicates someone is using your account.  You should report it to the police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

  • Purchased music through the apple store

    I recently updated to iTunes 7 but when updating my ipod its not copying over the music i've purchased from the apple store. Can anyone help?

    Hi - I am having the same problem. I recently changed my email address (and hence, apple ID) and Itunes will only play the 5 or so songs that I purchased with the new email ID. When I try to play the older songs, Itunes asks me to authorize. After I type in my password and authorize, the song still does not play. I have tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my whole computer but it does not work. Please help!

  • My iPhone is asking for software update and a password, but there is no update. How much will it cost to reset the software through the Apple Store?

    The phone's software may need to be updated. Is there a cost to have Apple reset the software?

    Where did you hear that? Genius Bar visits at an Apple store are free, and any software repairs they do are free, unless the phone is jailbroken; then they won't touch it. But they still won't charge you.
    I think it more likely the "update" is actually a phishing attack against you. Unless your phone is jailbroken; then your phone and your security is in big trouble.

  • The cost of replaceing a cracked glass face through the Apple Store

    What the you know what APPLE!
    I accidentally dropped my iPhone in my driveway yesterday, only to pick it up and discover that the face had been cracked. So I figure know big deal, surely this can't cost that much to get replaced, after all it is the most susceptible thing to break on this phone with a LARGE GLASS SCREEN ON THE FRONT OF IT!
    So, I stroll into my local Apple store and speak with one of the technical service reps on the floor who informs me that the replacement price for the glass is going to be $199. With sticker shock, I said $199! Your kidding me right! That's what I paid to buy the phone.
    So, then I asked, how long the repair usually takes? The person tells me about 15 minutes. This makes me even more upset!
    My question is how can Apple, fully knowing that this is probably going to be the number one hardware claim on this device, try to charge the consumer $200 for a thin piece of glass! It didn't even cost me that much to get a new windshield for my car!!!
    Come on people, think, think!!!
    I will not be buying another iPhone until they can come up with something a little more durable, maybe a plastic screen that doesn't crack! I think you need to go back to the drawing board boys and girls, or at least come up with a more reasonable price for glass replacement.

  • Do I have to sell through the Apple Store?

    Can I sell through my own store?
    I undestand that from step 4 of the Single Edition Overview, I can export my published folio as a zip file.  Can I then use this zip file to sell my publications on my own website? 
    Step 4: Create, Publish, and Export Your Folio Use the Folio Producer tools to create your folio. Preview your folio using the Adobe Content Viewer. When you finish your folio, use the Folio Producer Organizer on the web to publish the folio. Then export the published folio as a .zip file.

    No, you cannot bypass the app store to sell your app.

  • Hi , if I bought a macbook through the apple store, can I make the keyboard included arabic

    hi there !
    i wanna buy a refurbished macbook pro from the apple store online
    can aplle store make the keyboard includes 2 langauges (English , Arabic) ??
    and the free shipping , does it include the over seas ( to Saudi Arabia ) ??
    thank u

    i live in saudi arabia..and got a mbp from us....
    well you have multiple options..
    1. get a mbp from apple store and use the iwasel service from saudi post to get it to you. many times apple store doesnot accept saudi credit cards. if you do..then  you could add some good quality keyboard stickers to the keys to make them arabic.
    2.get a mbp in saudi from www.i-weaver.com they provide them with arabic keyboards.
