Same setup, some brand new emacs refuse to login

OSX server 10.4.7, OD master, file serving only. I have 11 emacs (10.4.7)to set up for teachers. The teachers already have accounts and home directories, and have been using them successfully for quite some time, logging in from our computer lab (10.3.9) clients. I go through the setup screens, and can successfully see the network, connect to server while logged in locally, and get on internet, but when I add server to ldap in directory access - as I have before on identical machines - all looks correct, but when I try to login as a network user (doesn't matter which one) I get the dreaded 'you cannot login at this time. The home folder for this account is located on an AFP or SMB server" The weird thing is that I have successfully set up 3 identical machines (new emacs) and they login fine. 4 (so far) won't, and I cannot find any differences between the setups. I have tried adding server using FQDN, adding using IP address, removing various cache files, preference files, re-boots, etc. from searces of forums for this problem. Nothing has helped. I cannot track this down to a software update on the server (recently updated to 10.4.7, and security patch) because some work fine, some don't. Another post said to run the command 'hostname' in terminal, and make sure it was the FQDN of the server. IT IS NOT - the command hostname returns the name of the computer - but I don't know what to do to fix it. on the affected emacs, in terminal, 'hostname' returns computer name, eg "mrs-smiths-emac" on good emacs, 'hostname' returns computer name.local, eg "mrs-jones-emac.local"

As far as I know the TV 40TL963B supports an common USB 2.0 HS interface and the USB memory flash can be formatted in FAT16 or FAT32 files system. So there are no special requirements to the USB flash memory

Brand New IPS, I cannot "login"

However, I am unable to login and cannot get started .... I see this error "Authentication token manipulation error"

Is this a problem with the IPS linux system ?

Brand New eMac starts but no video

I have a eMac in a classroom that was bought in the summer and imaged and working fine 3 weeks before school. School time comes around and everything starts up but the video... You can hear the HD loading everything and the startup light comes on as well as the chime. But never any video.
I tried resetting the PRAM, booting from a cd, tried the external to see if it would work... and nothing. I just need a way of narrowing down to what it is, so I can replace it.

Just to clarify, when you were trying to boot from a CD, was this the first OS X Tiger Install CD from the Tiger DVD media exchange (which requires the eMac in question to have a CD-ROM or CD-RW drive only, not the standard combo or super drive) or from the OS X Install DVD? If the boot CD was a troubleshooting / utilities homebrew burned disc, have you checked that the disc will boot other late-model eMacs?
Since you're getting the power light and hard drive noise, the main power management has to be working. There have been problems with Macs failing to wake properly from sleep, but booting from the OS X Install disc should bypass that problem. It would most likely be soemthing blown in the CRT/analog assembly hardware. That's not a user-servicable assembly (the voltage on the CRT yoke is dangerous) and a school Mac purchased this past summer will still be under the one-year hardware warrenty. You could contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or more typically in a school setting, contact the school's vendor.
If there's student or teacher data that needs to be recovered, you can use another Firew0re/OS X equipped Mac as the host to retrieve the files off the damaged Mac as the client using FireWire target disk mode.

If you have tried all troubleshooting steps providing by Apple, call AppleCare or make an appointment an an Apple store if there is one nearby. You have no other option.

Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

Brand new macbook pro, stuck by FileVault!

trying to setup the brand new MBP with retina display, and by default, the FileVault is checked, and i'm so regret that i didn't uncheck it...
it's just stuck there and won't go further, and i'm sure the power adapter is perfected connected...

If it is really stopped then terminate and boot to recovery and reinstall the OS

Brand New DVD+R's eject.

I bought some brand new Memorex DVD+R's 4.7 GB and my Macbook ejects them.
I can watch movies, play CDs, etc. But I really don't want to keep buying DVDs until I find one that works. I think this is something to actually pursue under warranty, but has anyone solved a similar problem?

To reply to myself, maybe the "combo drive" doesn't burn DVD's? I can't remember - does anyone else remember? (The MacBook marketing info doesn't say "combo drive: burns CDS but not DVDs" - it was some kind of subtle thing I had to ask about over and over in the store in person.)

Brand New MacBook Pro. Won't Update

Hello
Setup my brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina 2.5Ghz 8GB Ram today.
Current OS: OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1
Would like to update to OSX 10.8.2 but the update does not show in the App Store.
I downloaded the files from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581 but does not work as i get a "This Volume does not meet the requirements" and so can't update.
How can i fix this. Thanks.

Think i solved my own problem.
Am I correct in thinking that Apple have installed a special build of OSX 10.8.1 on MacBook Pros and have not yet released an update for 10.8.2 on MacBook Pro?
Amazining that i can never find anything i need untill i created my own topic and then what i need meraculously appears in the related topics!

Setup not completed on brand new Satellite L510

Started with brand new L510, I dont think setup completed properly, didn't have start up guide so didn't realize was going to take so long, Turned off , so now every time we restart keep getting "setup is preparing your computer for first use" and then welcome to windows 7, and system preparation tool out of box experience, we click ok and get fatal error occured while trying to sysprep machine" have been reading through forum and tried to press F8 on start up but do not get repair my computer option.
Any ideas where to now, am a novice at all this.

>... didn't have start up guide so didn't realize was going to take so long,
That's the problem. After first start recovery image installation will be started and many different drivers and software components must be installed properly. This procedure can take over one hour and should not be interrupted.
I presume notebook stuck now on some certain step and installation cannot be continued.
F8 option will work when the installation is finished properly.
What to do now?
I don't know where you have bought this notebook but maybe you can talk with your local dealer about your problem. if they have the same notebook in their showroom you can ask them if they can create recovery disc for you and you can use it for OS installation.
Second option is to order installation disc directly from Toshiba under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx but you must pay for it.
Let me know what do you think about all this.

Brand new to Mac and having some issues with my MBP mid 2012

I am hoping someone can offer some advice to me, I am about ready to tear my hair out. I bought a mid 2012 MBP from best buy open box for $2000, it is the model with the 750gig hard drive and 8 gigs of ram. I has Mountain Lion on it and I have done all the software upgrades. I do not have a lot of software installed on it but it does not seem to be running right. I have had it about three weeks or a month and it appeared to be running okay most of the time.
I tried putting parallels 8 on it so I could run some of my windows apps and I installed windows 8 and nothing else and it brought the laptop to a stand still it was crawling so slow I unistalled the software. The past few days I have noticed that when I open the lid and it wakes from sleep the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for upto a minute.
However today has been the worse by far. I am trying to copy some files about 300 gigs worth from a external drive to my hard drive so I can reformat the drive and while it is copying I am not able to do anything, surf the web, use word or anything because anything I try to do locks the computer up for several minutes or I have to force quit. The voice dictation feature no longer works when I press fn twice, nothing happens at all.
Is this normal, I mean I am very disappointed that a $2000 computer cant copy some files and surf the internet or type a word doc at the same time. Do I have a bad mac or am I expecting to much????? I am a therapist and use this laptop to take and store all my client notes I bought a mac because I need something dependable and reliable.
If this is not normal what do you suggest?

That would be your best bet. There is a reason someone returned it. Most people that buy a Mac, except me, never return them. Even if they don't run right. So for someone to return that unit they either didn't care for Mac OS X (that is why I return the first 2 I had) or there was something very wrong with it.

A brand new W540 and the Ultra Dock humms, black out external screen, won't recognize mouse and some

Just received a W540 and an Ultra Dock. Here is my first impressions.
During setup ... tried to connect my speakers directly onto the laptop.... HUMMMMM! (really loud humming sound, until Windows loads ...sounds like a short somewhere ...). Ok, obviously sound is not the main focus of W540.
After a little while... boink! ... and the external screen goes black accompanied with the "Windows detected something disconnect"-sound. No matter what I clicked on the keyboard, or how much a moved the mouse, the external screen wouldn't turn on again. I had to flip up the screen on the laptop, and tada, Windows reported that something connected again, and the external screen turned on again. Turns out that I need to keep the laptop screen open at all times now, and now and then both screens disconnect and connect again. Not completely a showstopper, but somewhat annoying. Ok, how to fix - enter "lenovo ultra dock black screen" in Google and see that a bunch of people have experienced the same thing. After some reading, I found this official support page "LENOVO THINKPAD PRO DOCK AND THINKPAD ULTRA DOCK ARE CAUSING DISPLAY ISSUES ON EXTERNAL MONITORS" (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht081248). Seems to fit my situation perfectly. Just download the fwdphb03.exe program and follow the instructions. But does fwdphb03.exe even start?!? NO!
Just a brief flicker and no application nor instructions to follow. In addition, I am Administrator on my machine. Please make applications that at least attempt to work....
I have an Aten mouse and keyboard switch (KVM) (CS-1784 to be precise), which have been working seamlessly for years on all other machines I have (VMWare images with different Windows versions, Raspberry Pi and Mac). Connecting the KVM with it's mouse and keyboard renders a working keyboard and a dead mouse (remember - switching to one of the other machines renders working keyboard and mouse instantly).... <rant on>pheeew, starting to get a bad feeling here. OBVIOUSLY we have a lot of cool hardware like USB 3 and DisplayPort and what not, but WHAT DOES THAT MATTER, when the Lenovo folks can't program this stuff properly?</rant off>
The W540 comes with a lot of Lenovo software. Much of it is really good and useful. But what happened when you try to log in to Windows? For some reason Lenovo want to inform you that the Num Lock is on when you see the standard login screen. The message something like "Num Lock is on - your password may be entered incorrectly". All in some black background, covering OVER the login field in Windows !!!! Hey, the laptop has a numeric keyboard, I don't need this message. Luckily others again have experience the same thing. At this page http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/New-T540p-numlock-warning-at-login/td-p/142... I get the tip that I need to rename the tpnumlk.exe to something else. Gone was the stupid message.
My advice to Lenovo - don't include stuff that harvest a lot of complaints and that obviously is going to annoy your customers. Even if the machine was one with a small keyboard and no separate numeric keyboard, I would NEVER EVER want to have some ugly black box covering over the standard login field… I can’t even imagine that the developer of this tool, use it (nor like it)! That is exactly why bloatware gets its reputation.
I would of course understand all this if I were talking about cheap machines and some wacko docking station. But I am not.... This is state-of-the-art, 2014, expensive-style laptop from the same manufacturer.
PS! At the end of this session, Lenovo tells me that there is a problem with the powersystem, and that it want to reduce power to sustainable levels....

can you connect the device in _*recovery mode*_ ?

ITunes downloads fast on old Mac mini but slow on brand new Macbook Pro on the same WiFi network?

Hi all,
I have an old Mac mini that's from around 2008 and runs on Snow Leopard. I also have a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display that's running Mountain Lion. Both running iTunes 10.6.3.
I never noticed anything wrong with my MBP's connection speed until last night when I downloaded a free TV episode from iTunes. The download speed varied between 20KB/s and 40KB/s and it took me 7 to 8 hours to download a single episode. I checked my internet connection but there was nothing wrong with it, SpeedTest.net told me I had a download speed of 94MB/s and upload speed of 80MB/s, it was only iTunes that was unbearably slow.
Today I was browsing iTunes again and was planning to buy some movies, but again it took forever for the trailers to download. So I fired up my Mac mini just to see if it would be just as slow. Turned out my Mac mini could download the same trailers from iTunes at a much higher speed than my MBP (around 3MB/s on the ones I tested).
So what gives? They are on the same Wifi network provided by an Airport Extreme, and although my iPhone and iPad are also connected to it, no one else is doing any heavy duty downloading.
Thanks in advance!

Sent a brand new U500-ST6322 to Depot but returned with same problem + hard disk re-imaging

I bought this Satellite about 4 months ago and noticed the fan was very noisy (posted a msg on this forum about it). I called Toshiba Technical Support who said this computer had been having fan issues so they asked me to send it to the Depot, which I did. The depot worked on it and returned it with the following note:
"Replaced fan.Hard drive failed test with multiple bad sectors. Replaced defective hard drive. Re-imaged with default software. Set DMI/Updated Bios/Set BOOT defaults. Blew out heatsink/fan and unit. Unit was tested and passed all tests".
So obviously the guys worked on it, only the noise is still the same. The computer basically makes one think there is a vacuum cleaner working not too far in the background. So I am not really sure if Toshiba and I thought there was the same thing wrong with the fan. And I'm not sure what to do next. The fan noise is really distracting and you'd think a brand new machine would be a little quieter. My 6-yr old Dell is quieter.
About the HD re-imaging... I had backed-up my stuff before I sent it to the Depot, so that turned out to have been useful. When they say they re-imaged the HD, does it mean they re-formatted it in some way but kept the same unit? Would there be a way for me to get the stuff from my "old" HD back? There're no important documents, but just thinking about all the programs I need to install again makes me wonder if I could somehow recover the old hard drive. Also, I see a lot of posts with people having sent their computers in and having had the same thing done. Is it normal for a relatively new computer to have issues with the HD? By the way, when I worked with the computer I had no HD issues, at least nothing I could tell.
Thanks for any advice!

from what you put that they did to your machine they replaced the hdd and used the recovery media to reimage the drive back to factory. hdd and other hardware failures either happen very early or very late in their lives. so it is not uncommon to have a hdd that fails right out of the gate but it is much more common for them to fail later. as for getting your old hdd back i wouldnt count on it. it has probably already been sent away to be recycled.
you may not have had any problems at all with the hdd but from what you wrote that toshiba said it had multiple bad sectors. if these bad sectors are too big they will just replace it since those parts of the disc cant be used.

IMac Refuses to Read Brand New CDs

I've been having intermittent problems with the Mac reading certain CDs, but now I'm getting worried. I have five brand new CDs that I got for Christmas; I just took off the shrink-wrap. When I insert it, it makes some noises, and after a couple seconds, it ejects it back out. I put it back in, and it does the same thing again. I then tried the rest of the CDs, and the same thing happened with all of them. I just tried inserting a CD that I've owned for a while, though, and that one worked just fine. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Hi roaring in the dark
I had a couple of new CD's do the same thing. I think they had a light film residue left on them from the manufacturing process and after a light cleaning they worked just fine.
