Sometimes can't log into server or very slow to do so.green bar at bottom is fully lit and just sits there with wheel spinning like it is trying to hook up?

Does not happen all the time. Many time works no problems. When having problems seems to be that way for a while not just one email. Just did an email and wheel was spinning and trying to send. "Can't log on to server" I believe is what comes up. Hit cancel, went into sent file to see if went thru(sometimes it does when it says it didn't send) Not in sent file, started new email and redid it and it sent fine???
Have been told looks like thunderbird issue and not Provider?
My sent file is small. Thought this might be contributing so deleted most of old that I did not move in to client folders.

If it doesn't work at one time, but does again work later, it's unlikely the problem is with Thunderbird.
You may try to disable email scanning in your anti-virus software.

  • Can not log into server computer with any accounts - "You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."

    I have a Mac mini running the latest version of OS X and Server. Been running fine and flawlessly. However, I had a strange problem with the iCloud preferences panel crashing when I tried to access it, so I rebooted. Now I can not log into the system with any accounts. My master admin account (along with all the others) gives me the error:
    You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
    I am able to see the server from other macs and I can log into it using the same account, but it only shows me a few of the shared folders I have access to but NOT to my main directories.
    Rebooting into Command-R and doing a disk utility, I try and repair permission on that drive and get a bunch of errors like:
    ACL found but not expected on Users
    Repaired "Users"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/.localized
    Repaired "Users/.localized"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared
    Repaired "Users/shared"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared/.localized
    Repaired "Users/Shared/.localized"
    Permissions repair complete.
    But rebooting is no joy...same problem. Any idea what is going on or how to repair it? Should I do a time machine restore? Complete new OS X install? Any idea what is causing this or how to salvage it?

    Got everything to re-install and it worked fine...for a few hours. Then I came in to find ALL of my network users deleted. Just GONE. Then found out the Open Directory was trashed and was unable to open, recover or restore from a backup. Looks like I may have a bad drive here.
    I installed a new drive in the system, re-installed and so far (for a couple of hours anyway) the system seems to be working and stable.

  • Can't log into server after 10.5.5 update

    After running the 10.5.5 update on our Intel Xserve, it keeps getting stuck at the login window. I typed in the correct admin login info, the window would go away as if it was going to the next step, then it came back again. All services are running fine and I can get on via SA and WGM (from another computer) but not to the Desktop (via Remote Desktop). I noticed every time I try to log on (correctly) as admin, the whole service would restart. I get this from the Terminal window while I ssh and logged in from another computer after hit the Log In button: Sep 16 11:23:17 server1 loginwindow[2249]: Unable to load Info.plist exceptions.
    Any ideas? I am afraid to update the other Xserve now..... Thanks!

    I have a similar problem, although with 10.5.4 rather than 10.5.5... Seems all services work, however, I can't log into the Finder.
    I just set this server up 2 weeks ago, so was able to give the users back their previous server for the time being. However, after an hour on the phone with Apple, their techs have exhausted all ideas. Here's what I've tried so far with prompting from Apple...
    1. boot from dvd, run permissions and disk repair
    reboot. no difference
    2. from a remote machine, access WGM, add new user, check home folders of existing users, check permissions, create another administrator user with a new home, try again with new user, no difference.
    3. wipe preferences via Terminal: boot single user, mount -uw /, run mv /Library/Preferences /Library/Prefencesold
    reboot. no difference
    4. changed preferences back to where they were by removing new (rm), and renaming old (mv) - still no access to finder
    5. suggested remotely installing 10.5.5 as last resort - this is the last idea the Apple technician had. I haven't done it yet.
    It seems to be a corrupt finder or login issue more than a server issue as all services are running fine
    6. In single user mode again, I tried a rm .AppleSetupDone which allowed me to recreate the server user and settings, but still did not allow access to the Finder.
    7. One of the other techs here suggested safe mode, hadn't tried that. - still wouldn't allow me to log into the Finder
    8. Tried boot from Disk Warrior DVD (latest version) - wouldn't boot
    sigh...
    Ideas anyone? I'm close to wiping and rebuilding this server, however the user permissions are a little bit intricate so it would sure be nice to get it running again.
    thanks, Dave

  • Why does firefox sometimes just stop talking to the internet and just set there with the connection icon spinning and spinning and not going anywhere, when Thunderbird can still get email and any other program is not having trouble accessing the internet

    sometimes fire fox will start talking again, most of the time it take a reboot to fix it, as it may set there spinning, for hours, and i do not have time to fool with it, and a reboot is a pain

  • HT204088 Hello. I can't log into iTunes Store. I made a purchase this morning for gold in csr classics and it charged my card twice. Can you please help me either get the gold for the game or recredit it back to my card.

    Hello there
           We also looked at the account for other purchases over a year ago or less and they had charged my card twice for the same purchase. They said they would let me know and I haven't received an email to confirm. It did it today also I purchased 9.99 of gold on the csr classic racing and it didn't give me the gold so I did it again and it gave me the gold. When we called our card company it was charged twice. And help would be great. Thank you.

    If you haven't received the item, or if you've been overcharged, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Can't log into account

    Hello all! I have a problem!! When I log into my account it takes me to the my desktop but will not load my desktop icons. It then returns me to the log in screen. I can however log into other accounts. I set up a new admin but cannot access my old files because I do not have permission. I've tried repairing permission (which fails). I've tried repairing permission through the install disc and it stalls...all day. The Mac HD appears to be ok when I verify Disk.  I've also tried to just do a reinstall but it fails to. Any help would be greatly appreaciated! I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7 on a MacBook.
    also, I was able to log into it once briefly and It displayed Finder Quit Unexpectedly.

    This is just a guess, but it may work. First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. Log into a working admin account and launch the Terminal application. I'll assume that the name of the problem account is "fubar." Substitute the actual name for that one. In the Terminal window, very carefully enter the following command:
    sudo rm ~fubar/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Try again to log in as fubar.

  • I can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail.  right after opening up ichat, receive the following message:  lost connection with jabber.  the server has unexpectedly disconnected.

    i can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail.  right after opening up ichat, receive the following message:  lost connection with jabber.  the server has unexpectedly disconnected.  how to troubleshoot?  thanks.

    Hi,
    There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
    Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause  an issue.
    A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
    If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
    A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
    Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
    Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
    If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended  and this will not log you in.
    (It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
    Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
    Sometimes these go out of Sync.
    In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration.  I am not sure if this happens at Google.
    You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
    As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in  (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in  on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
    IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
    This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
    If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
    Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
    Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
    Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
    The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them.  If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
    You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
    If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
    There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
    Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
    This should show all pics as their icon.
    Check that all display properly.
    At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
    This often corrects hard to trace things

  • Exchange 2013 - Admins can only log into one ECP server

    Simple run down of my environment:
    • Two AD sites (Site1 and Site2)
    • One 2008 R2 domain controller at each site (DC1 w/ FSMOs and DC2) running AD forest function level 2008 R2
    • One 2012 Std server with Exchange 2012 Std CU3 at each site (EX1 and EX2) – CAS/MBX on both, No DAG
    • Half of mailboxes on each server
    Using https://webmail.domain.com for all of our internal and external virtual directories. Adding /OWA or /ECP will get you into the respective site from either internal or external.
    All Domain Admin/Exchange Admin (Organization Management) do NOT have mailboxes. Those individuals can log into ECP from https://webmail.domain.com/ecp, or FQDN or IP of EX2 only. If John Smith has no mailbox then he must use:
    https://webmail.domain.com/ecp
    or
    https://ex2.domain.com/ecp
    or
    https://10.16.109.31/ecp
    If EX2 goes offline or they use https://ex1.domain.com/ecp or https://10.16.108.31/ecp then none of the admins can login and they get the following:
    Use the following link to open this mailbox with the best performance:
    https://webmail.domain.com/owa/auth.owa
    X-FEServer: EX2
    Date: 2/18/2014 10:37:42 PM
    s ECP or the https://webamil.domain.com/ecps ECP.
    They can access EMS from either server and run Get-ECPVirtualDirectory and it shows what we would expect:
    – https://webmail.domain.com/ecp
    – https://webmail.domain.com/ecp
    Why can an admin with no mailbox only log into the ECP on EX2? What is forcing the login to EX2 only? How can I move that “forced login” to EX1 if we ever get into a situation where EX2 is having problems? What happened in Active Directory or Exchange that
    made EX2 the primary login server for ECP and OWA? My FSMOs are located at Site 1…the same location where EX1 is located. The same server that I cannot log into ECP directly.
    ~Rick

    Any admin that is mail enabled can then only log into the server that hosts his mailbox. Admins without mailboxes can only log into EX2. And again, all admins can log into https://webmail.domain.com/ecp unless one of the servers goes offline
    and that's when the problems occur. Nothing obvious or unusual regarding mail flow. Done various internal and external tests and have not seen anything obvious or in the logs.
    Yesterday's change that MS Support had me do was to delete the ExternalURL for the ECP virtual directories. No difference. So, my latest update from MS Support that requested me to try today's change...
    set-owavirtualdirectory “owa (default web site)” -RedirectToOptimalOWAServer $false
    After performing an IIS reset and making sure replication had completed there was no difference. So, I am now forced to wait till Monday for MS to respond if the pattern stays at one email per day.
    Has anyone with multiple servers at different AD sites been able to log directly into the either server like I'm trying? I get this problem in my labs and I even had MS, while on the phone, remote in to make sure I was setting it up properly.
    The guy on the phone never said if their labs do the same thing cause they don't have multiple AD sites in their labs. In my lab if I have two servers at each site then I can log into both servers at the site, but not the other site. It appears it becomes
    site dependent then.
    MS has taken numerous logs and they are acting like this is the first time they've seen this. Yet I can reproduce it with no problem time after time. I'll create new VMs and start all over from scratch and make this happen every time I create a new AD/Exchange
    environment (it does take me a while to build all those VMs from scratch). No fancy GPOs to AD and no radical changes to the Exchange servers. Other than obvious config changes to make sure email can flow internally and externally, this is pretty much out
    of the box.

  • Can't log into PowerShell and EAC on Exchange 2013 Server

    I'm not sure why but I my Exchange PowerShell can't log into my Exchange server and I can't access the EAC
    via localhost or the URL. 
    I did notice that I enabled HTTP Proxy in IIS and that I used Application Route Requesting with it but I went ahead
    and reversed all those changes. I also noticed that the physical path for each sub-site in Default Web Site goes to the HTTP Proxy version of that folder instead of the ClientAccess one. I changed each folder to the clientaccess one but that didn't help. I
    did some research on this and I saw that I had to enable the kerbauth in the modules area and I did that to. I restarted IIS and WebRM and that still didn't help.

  • New users can't log into /mydevices or /profilemanager

    Hi all,
    I've got Profile Manager up and running and have deployed about 25 iPads using the current setup.
    My configuration has not changed but all of sudden, new users created today can not log into /mydevices or /profilemanager.  Says the username or password is incorrect, but they're entered properly.  Again, the configuration of the server has NOT changed since users entered (and working) last week.
    Anyone have this issue?  If anyone can shed some light, I'd really appreciate it.
    Apple: Lion Server is buggy as ****.  Profile Manager is buggy as ****.  I've spent hours on the phone with Apple support with one issue after another.  I'm getting sick of the instability and crankiness of Lion Server.  These forums are chalked full of people having such a massive range of issues that I can only draw one conculsion: Lion Server is half baked.
    Please help (again),
    Chris

    I got my problem solved - and here is a few things to note and some steps to resolve the issue.
    1) you do not need to create augmented users - unless you need extra settings for local logins (you most likely won't have users logging into your mav) - if you are using AD that is - if not just create local users
    2) server is buggy - perhaps - but after dealing with this issue for a few days - as much as i want to agree with it i want to say that now it is running very smoothly - and it boils down to order of steps in the install
    4) do not change hostnames once it's set up - that will scre it up even worse
    here is what i woudl suggest to blow it away and reset it up
    1) system pref - users and groups - login options - network account server - edit - unjoin the domain
    2) blow away your open directory and profile manager in command line
    sudo /usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh
    sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver
    3) reset apache web config
    sudo /serveradmin command web:command=restoreFactorySettings
    4)make sure your hostname is correct
    5) join domain (if needed)
         on command line veryfiy ad is working by typing
         user "username" where username is username of AD user
    6) if AD set up - check dns search order - make sure no local host (127.0.0.1) is in the list
         system preferences - network - ethernet - advanced -dns - remove 127.0.0.1 if there (only if using AD)
    6) server admin - open directory - settings - change - set up as standalone
    configure yoru ldap server - this will reissue signing authority certificate that you will need if you want to sign your configurations profiles for clients (iOS and Mac)
    7) then configure profile manager
    Reboot after step 2 - step 3, step 6
    if you have a firewall infront of the server there will be aditinal ports required for SCEP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
    you will need port 80,443 and 1640
    If you have a reverse proxy you will need to set up a trust to the cetificate on the proxy to the authority configured in the open ldap - different topic - but just tought it was worth mentioning

  • I can't log into iCloud because I changed my appleid and it hasnt updated on my phone

    I'm trying to log into an old iPhone but I've changed my AppleID since I've used it. So when i try to log into my iCloud account it still has the email address to my old account name and it wont let me change it to the new one. It's very frustrating. I can't restore the phone unless I turn off Find My iPhone but I cant because I cant log into the iCloud account...

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • I can't log into icloud from my Windows 8 PC, but I can from my Windows XP PC

    I had my old Vista PC upgraded to Windows 8.  I just tried to log into www.icloud.com, but after entering my username and my password nothing happens.  No errors, nor messages.  Fortunately, I can remotely log into my work PC which is a Windows XP.  Logging in is no problem at all for my XP.  I get in and do what I need to do.  This would seem to eliminate a server issue.
    Is the icloud website not available for Windows 8?
    Thank you!

  • Will users not logged into server be able to access internet

    If I setup OS X 10.8 server in my home will others in household be able to access internet without a user account or logging into server?

    Yes, it's just another device on the network that can offer services to other devices. Without the access details and things file sharing or the web server switched on the other users wont even know that there is a server on the network.
