Slow on authentication windows

My work 15" MacBook Pro (2.3 GHz i7) running 10.8.5 has a strange problem that I have not been able to figure out why it's happening.
When I am away from work, my MB Pro is very slow on any sort of OS X authentication:
- Password prompt when deactivating from screen saver
- Anything like a software update or settings change that requires my login/pw
Once putting in my password it can take 5-10 minutes for the password prompt to go away.
I tried running IceClean on it, as well as disk utility (permissions and disk repair)
Even tried booting to the recovery partition and reinstalling OS X Mountain lion.
Any ideas on what else to check, try, etc.?

One followup. I see in the "Users & Groups" window, that my user is an Admin, but also "Managed" and "Mobile"
Could either of these additions be causing issues, namly the Mobile. How do I disable this?

Boot message: problem with hard drive detected. Slow loading of windows 7

Good Day
I am having a problem with my hard drive, everytime it boots these days it starts with a message: Warning: a problem with the hard drive has been detected, followed by an extremely slow loading of windows. then once in windows it gives me Anothet message
the messsage says hard drive failure imminent you should back up you data etc.
My specs are:
Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 ghz
4 gig ddr3 transcend
1 tb seagate 7200.12
giga byte nvidia 9800 gt 1 gig ddr3
Please help lots of data.

Another option:
Take your hard drive out and slave it into another KNOWN WORKING PC.
Back-up your data immediately. Slow boot usually indicates that the drive is going to die. (Check your warranty!)
Then, run "chkdsk /r" from the host PC to check the failing drive. (It is good to match OSes if you can.)

IMac & Macbook running slower than a Windows computer

Hello all, I need some help with my apple products. I spend half my day messing with the internet to try and get it going instead of sitting there with a blank look on its face. They freeze up to an extent. I generally can always close out Safari, shut off the wifi, then turn wifi on and safari will work somewhat better sometimes. Here is the Etre report for both the iMac and MacBook. Also on the MacBook report, I was digging around in my system report and found something that made me think it might be bad so i have included it as well. Please help me and keep me from wasting half my day every day. Thanks. There is several extra lines after the Macbook report that came from my system report. I don't know if it is pertinent or not but I feel like it is. I wasn't sure what to leave out so I just put it all in, sorry for the long post.
Note----- I took out the logs that were from the previous address I lived at. Just included from when I moved into new house.
THIS IS FOR THE iMac
Problem description:
Ever since I moved into this new house my apple computers have slowed down to granny speed and sometimes they just sit there and stare at you. I have an iMac from 2011, a mac book pro 2014, iPhone 6, iPhone 4s, and to top it off a windows computer that is used for graphic software. I have 2 TV’s that we use as well. My internet and cable are provided by ATT and at my old house it worked great, no problems. I have had ATT out twice since install in January. They have given me a new modem, and a booster to help increase the reach of the wireless internet. My internet is supposed to be 18mbs download and for the life of me can’t think of the upload speed. When testing I usually have a 10 to 11 download and a 1.80 upload speed. I have ran verify disk, fix permissions so many times and that it is ridiculous. My iMac is used in the back room which is about 30 feet from modem, that is why they gave me the booster the 2nd time out. The macbook is used just whereever. The speed of the Mac’s is slower then the Windows computer. That ain’t right. I don’t download anything, I don’t go to crazy suspect sites. I have taken the iMac to apple store and they tested it and said it was fine. I have re-installed the O.S. (Yosimiteme 10.10.3). I just want my apples to work properly again.

Ok, I don't know what those drivers are for?????? I don't have a clue Here is what it looks like when I do the option thing. Hopefully its ok to post that. I went into system preference and went to network and DNS server as a ip number and search domains as attlocal.net not sure thats correct, but that is what my phone had. Anyway it started working good for a while now it is just going slow again. I don't have anything set up for the tab 802.1X and my proxies is blank in the protocol to configure (nothing checked( and I a have this *.local, 169.254/16 in the bypass proxy setting plus the use passive FTP box is checked. Maybe that will help some. I will look at the extensions and get rid of them, I thought I had already done that though. Ok, thanks for the input let me know if any of this helps or what I should do. Thanks again.

Installing AUTHENTIC windows 7 ultimate 64bit on Macbook Pro - ERROR, help!

I am trying to install windows 7 ultimate 64bit (not the beta or RC, this is an authentic windows 7 DVD -- signature edition) on my macbook pro using Bootcamp. When the computer tries to reboot, i get a message that says:
1.
2.
select cd-rom boot type:"
I saw forum posts with this problem where people were using improperly burned windows 7 versions, however, this is not a burned DVD -- its authentic from microsoft. This means i cant reburn the dvd...
Any suggestions?!

Did you by any chance install Snow Leopard on your MacBook Pro?
My MacBook Pro was working perfectly fine. Installed windows many times the last 2-3 years and never had problems.
I installed Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago and since then I get this exact same error with all my Windows Install discs (ones that always worked before!).
Whatever I do. I can't get any Windows installed anymore.
The discs are fine, Bootcamp menu reads it and recognise it. But the moment you try boot from it you end up with the error the OP is describing!
And all this, after I installed Snow Leopard. Restoring to previous versions of MacOSX did not help!
So it seems that the Snow Leopard installation does something to the DVD drives on the MacBook Pro's (upgrading firmware whatever) and now it's ruined!!

IWeb 08 - my site works on my laptop, but is MEGA slow on a Windows machine

My iWeb constructed site - published to a folder, then uploaded to my domain using Transmit (which is fully functional!) works on my laptop(s) but is MEGA slow on a Windows machine....and considering there's a lot of 'sheep' using Windows out there...AND the website involved is a business (a shop) www.ukdk.dk then I'm losing some business.
What could be the problem?
It works on BOTH my 2 Mac laptops (a G5 & a G4) , I've checked with the web-host/provider and all is fine there. When I used my old G4 to construct a website there was no problem of this manner. It's since iWeb 08 has been used.
I've got the latest updates, have slimmed down the website to 'try' and make it faster (which takes away it's groovey look, which detracts the charm of the site so that's a bloomin' nuisance) and have done everything within my power/knowledge to sort this. To no avail.
HELP!

The business is a shop. A small one. Even before (note: BEFORE) I let anyone at all know about the site's existence I checked it out on both a Mac - my own 2 - and a dreaded Windows machine. Worked fine with Mac, but not with Windows. This isnt with any traffic other than MYSELF visiting the site! I'd love to hear of other iWeb '08 users and their sites so I can check them out to see if they have the same problem. It's strange that I didn't get this when using my iBook G4's iWeb software.
Maybe I'll try transfering the domain file from laptop (New MacBook with iWeb '08) to laptop (Old iBook G4 with older version of iWeb) and seeing if that helps. A thorough pain in the backside if so, but at least the site will be working!
"Technical support!!!" Lol.
Just as an aside....what are the settings I should use at my host/web-hotel for optimum performance? I have them set already, but I want to double & triple check 'em. Better safe than sorry etc.
Thanks in advance!!! :))

Authentication Window

Hi
I have installed Snow Leopard 4 times now and each time i get too a point that I cannot see the authentication window. First thing first. When i installed it everything was ok, i installed some software and after some time when i wanted to install something using Installer but when i get to the last part where i click install it just blinks that it acknowledge the mouse click but nothing happend (there should be an authentication window for user password but it doesn't show). The same is with locks. There are some locks in different parts of System Preferences (like in accounts) and every time i click on one i get a message authenticating (and again the authentication window should show up) but after a second or two it returns to "Click the lock to make changes.". Anybody had similar problem? It only accrues in Snow Leopard. I have tried an upgrade on Leopard aswell as a Erase and Install no difference.

Hi my good friends,
Are there another possible causes or solutions to this problem? I have exactly the same problem but I think it is not the keyboard layout the cause at least in my case. Snow Leopard chooses the correct keyboard layout the standard *"ANSI 102 keys US and Others"* . Also I heard that a possible cause could be duplicate fonts. I opened Font Book and clicked *"Select Duplicate Fonts"* and found some duplicates (shows a yellow triangle next to them) and then clicked *"Resolve Duplicates"* Well, that didn't do the trick neither.
Please let's keep the brain juices flowing to see if we can fix this problem for real. Thanks very much

Asking authentication window for annonymous users enable bi site when view dashboards or (deploy dashboards to view by anonymous users in sharepoint 2013 )

Hi
in sharepoint 2013 i created bi center site
1) and i followed best practices from Technet for how to create Secure store service,performance Point service applications
2) and added Unattended service account permissions in SSAS data sources,
3) given db_owner permissions for performance point service application pool account in content database.
4) and my requirement is that deployed dashboards and pointers can be viewable by any users , who without login to
sharepoint web application,
so i enable anonymous access for whole web application and bi site.
but even when i open bi dashboards without login by view permission user, it asking authentication window.
i open dashboard designer and deployed using spfarm user in sharepoint webfront end server.
adil

PerformancePoint generally does not support Anonymous access, as is the case when using Excel Services data connections:

Authentication window not populating when attempting to move a file

When attempting to move a file that will need administrator authentication, the authentication window to enter a password does not populate. Thus, I am unable to move the file.

Linc,
I didnt get back with you this week as we've discovered a number of other "interesting" issues with the iMac. They all seem to (possibly) be related to privilege issues: 1. Cannot move photos to ~Library/Desktop Pictures, 2. Cannot access System Preferences/Security&Privacy (click on the lock to make a change and the User Name and Password "Unlock" window will not appear.) 3. When attempting to install the MS Office For Mac update, the installer will not respond. 4. Cannot boot from an external drive. The computer wants to reinstall the OS X Yosemite when attempting to boot from an external drive.

Proxy authentication window

I've installed Java Web Start and I'm experiencing the following behaviour.
My web browser has a proxy configured and in the Java Web Start
preferences it's specified to use the browser configuration (not
manual).
Now, sometimes the window asking for proxy authentication appears,
even when I'm not launching a Java Web Start application.
It seems to me that the proxy authentication window appears when a new Java Virtual Machine is invoked.
Is it a known behaviour ? What's the reason for it ? How can we avoid
it ?
We think it would be very annoying for a user beeing asked repeatedly for proxy authentication, expecially when he/she doesn't understand the reason why it happens.
My best regards
Cristina Tomacelli
Italy

... to tweak the config files ?
If you are on Win32 and your proxy is using ? la NTLM authentication then the 1.4.2 should fix this...

Blinking Carets shown in multiple authentication windows.

Hi,
My application pops up an authentication window (with username and password field) when the system comes out of sleep. Sometimes, the caret is displayed even if the pop-up window is inactive (ie not in focus) and when I type on the keyboard, characters go
to a different window (like IM). This may result in user typing his password in IM unknowingly (ofcourse if he is not paying attention)
I have also observed this when a network-share authentication window pops up. Example, when I am searching the "start" menu, a network-share authentication window pops up and the caret is displayed in the search-bar and also the popup window. The
problem is not specific to my application.
As far as I know, only one caret should be displayed (i.e only by the active window with focus). Is this a bug in windows?
Regards,
Kunal

Hi Kunal,
As per the documentation of CreateCaret(), windows provides one caret for one windows message queue. It's the applications responsibility to show the caret only when its window is active or in focus. Please see the below link:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms648399(v=vs.85).aspx
In your case, you should check if your window has focus or is active. A combination of GetFocus() and GetActiveWindow() should do the trick.
Hope that helps.

Avoid a second authentication windows

Hi everybody
I have the following problem: I�m developing a three-tier application: the first tier is a swing based applet accesses via web browser. The second one is a servlet witch GET method sends that applet (that is, the HTML page, the applet class file embedded and three jar files). This servlet runs in an iPlanet server configured for require basic authentication. The problem is: When I access the servlet with a Netscape browser for retrieves the applet, it prompts for login/password. That is ok, but when the applet is download, the JVM shows a second authentication window before my own code starts the execution (that means: "I can't do anything in the code!!!").
The problem seams to be very strange: if I use JVM 1.3, it's not necessary to write login password in the second window (you must only press enter), but with JVM 1.4 it's required for continue. I have tried with two different netscape versions: 4.7 and 6.2. With IE is worse, because the navigator doesn't download the applet.
Thank you very much

Thank you very muchThere are several things that could be causing this.. Main assumption is that your JSP has coded the applet tag correctly. I'm familiar that there are multiple ways for webservers to handle the tag -- try ALL of them...
Is your code trying to access something outside of the sandbox? Then you might need to sign the jars. Is your code running behind an authenticating proxy? Not sure what to do here, it may very well be necessary to re-authenticate depending on the firewall configuration. Are you sure the jars contain all the necessary classes? If not, the applet will try and get them from the codebase. This may or may not cause a login window to popup, but just food for thought.
Have you considered using the java plug-in? Browser JVMs are different and can't guarantee you consistant functionality. Using the plug-in would guarantee consistant results. It's a pretty heavy download, but only would be necessary one time. Likewise, your applet could load much faster in that you would only need to jar YOUR classes and not the additional swing classes that the browswer jvm might not have. By the way, if you are using the plug-in and the client is behind a firewall or some sort of authenticating proxy, there are settings in the plug-in the client can adjust to alleviate problems.
Best of luck.

Slow FTP authentication

Hi there,
i have a 10.6.7 server with a very slow FTP authentication issue. Server is bound to AD and it is OD master as well.
Regardless of users (AD, OD or local) FTP authentication is very slow, it takes 20-25 seconds. Accessing the server via AFP or ssh with same accounts is normal speed (almost instantly)
Anybody has any idea on why FTP authentication is any different than other services?

What's in the server logs around the time of the slow ftp connection?
Have you compared this with sftp, to determine if that is any faster here? (It's far more secure.)
Does /sudo changeip -checkhostname/ (on your server) report any errors with your server DNS config?
See if selecting the ftp transfer mode (active or passive) before the connection speeds things up.
I'll presume you know that ftp is completely insecure, so you might simply open up your server and see if that's any faster to connect.
Is your server firewall active when you're testing? If so, drop it. (ftp is older than IP, and really doesn't work all that well with the ubiquity of firewalls within modern IP networks. As part of getting IP to work, you'll need to ensure the ephemeral ports are open on the source or destination firewall.)

Redirect to SAP authentication window

Hi,
Ive created an application that requires authentication (sap.authentication value true on application properties).
Initially, when the user starts the application, he has to login using a default authentication window provided by SAP.
How can I perform a logout and redirect to the default authentication window?
Thanks in advance,
Ricard.

Oscar,
The code should be even simpler:
WDClientUser.forceLogoffClientUser(null);
Cut form doc:
<i>url - the URL of the page that is shown to the user after logoff was done. If the parameter is null, the redirect is done to the "LogoffURL" URL that can be specified in the application properties. If this URL is also not defined, a redirect to a Web Dynpro internal logoff page is done.</i>
So you may either accept default logoff-page (just text "Web Dynpro application terminated. Good bye!" or provide your own page via application properties).
Next, it is impossible to just log-off to auth screen. It is necessary to set as log-off URL some application that requires authentication also.
This way WD will first log-off user, then shows auth-screen and then login him again to the target application.
So try the following:
1. Use code with null URL, forget about WDConfiguration.
2. In NW IDE open your application properties, and add standard property "log-off URL", for example "/useradmin/userAdminServlet?userProfileView";
This works for me (first application may be either with or without auth). My environment is NW04s, but this should work on NW04 as well.

Slowness Issues with Windows Authentication in SharePoint Foundation 2010 sites

All,
We are having a strange issue with SharePoint Foundation 2010 sites where sites are very slowly loading when accessed via windows based authentication where as the extended sites in forms authentication are loading normally.
There were no error logs or even SharePoint logs also except the images load time is showing with different load times.
Attached are the patches that were updated to the server that may be issue but not sure. Can some one please share your thoughts.
SQL connectivity b/w the server is good.there are no n/w issues except that the users are using the sites with a different domain other than the domain in which the servers were hosted.
There is a trust b/w the two domains.This was never changed and there were no issues in the last 2 years.
Thanks keshav,Share point Developer

we do have trusted domains
Inder : It would be better if you run that command again now.
Inder: How many AD server do you have
Inder: Do you notice the login request go to nearest AD server.
and https sites. Please share your thoughts.
Inder: All the certificate have intermedite certificates. You need to logon to each SP server, and install
these certificates on trusted root authority
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered
