unable to log in at this time because an error has occured

Colleague came in over weekend to use a specific PowerMac and large screen rather than her usual MacBook Pro.
She was unable to login as 'herself' as she repeatedly got the message that she was <<unable to log in at this time because an error has occured>>.
No 'headshaking' as if she had given the wrong password, but she couldn't log in or accesss our sharepoints.
She tried another desktop Mac (a  macmini) and got same result...
She could (and today still can)  happily log in to the server via her laptop...
What gives?

We just had a similar issue here.
On the MacBook Pro, we needed a new user to log in. Existing MBP users were fine, new users no chance, although administrator accounts were OK. OSX 10.7.4, same issue with 10.7.5.
Clues were found elsewhere on this site (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4140320?start=0&tstart=0), but what we did to fix it was this:-
Ensure the Mac will create a local folder for new user accounts (top tick-box)
In AD, turn off the Z: drive mapping to the home folder (or whatever drive you use) for that particular user
On the Mac, log in and let it create the local home folder
In AD, turn the drive mapping back on and respecify the home folder path
The account should now continue to work as it's already created the local home folder.
Admin accounts worked because we don't map the home folder for those. Originally we were mapping using a logon script, which is why we didn't have an issue when setting up the other users initially. What probably doesn't help is that we use DFS, and the Macs don't like talking to DFS (we have to map to the \\servername\share instead of \\domainname\dfs-share for those).
Hope this helps. Many thanks to user "Think Touch" for providing the clues.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 - The file can not be saved in path because an error has occurred

    Hello,
    I need again help regarding this issue. Sometimes but very often I receive an error, trying to save a PSD file, the error is: "The file can not be saved in <path> because an error has occurred". After that it is not possible to save the file in any format, using save or save in dialog. The only way to rescue the result is, to save for web as an jpeg. This error occours often using Topaz or NIK filter and until now only in PS-CC 2014. My workflow looks like this:
    - Open NEF RAW file in Brdige
    - Settings in ACR and give it into PS by clicking OK in ACR
    - In PS doing a adjust some levels
    - press SHIFT+STRG+ALT+E for a new summary layer
    - Uing Topaz Adjust on the new level with 65% opacity
    - press SHIFT+STRG+ALT+E for a new summary layer
    - Using Topaz DeNoise on the new layer
    - pres STRG+i and resize the image to 1200x797
    - Using Topaz InFocus on the same layer as DeNoise
    - create a vignette with brightness adjustlayer
    After this workflow in nearly 90% it is not possible to save the file as PSD or something else, only to save for web as JPG. If I save the file after opening the RAW in PS and after every layer with Topaz Filter, I can save the file when I am done. Same issue occurs using NIK Filters in that way.
    I tried to optimize the performance by using this guide: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html doesn’t solve the issue.
    I re- and installed all Adobe Products more than three times, doesn't solve the issu.
    After that I ordered a new SSD drive and insall Windows 7 64bit inkl. All latest hotfixes, patches and drivers. I downloaded the newest Adobe Versions and the newest filter sets from Topaz and NIK. Doesn’t solve the issue.
    This is my rig:
    Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H mainboard
    Intel Core i7 4770k
    32GB Corsair RAM
    250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD Drive
    nVidia Geforce GTX770
    During my tests I took the same RAW File and created nearly 20 adjustment layers and summary layers, without using Topaz or NIK filters. No problem, I was able to save the file as PSD file. 
    From my point of view, actually, the error occurs only when I am using Topaz or NIK filters. Both supports doesn’t know the issue and if I search the web, I can’t find more then me. It seemed to depend on my settings, my rig or something else, perhaps a cache is overflowed or something like this. Adobe telephone support can’t help because I said I use a third party filter. But it occurs with two different manufactures…
    So please guys, help me to figure out why this error occurs in my system.
    Thanks in Advance and best regards,
      Michael

    Update: I tried several times to reproduce the error, actually it dosen't occur. I changed nothing on my system, without reboot it twice. This is what I said in my beginning times: it occurs sometimes but often. I will keep you up to date.

  • Illustrator files cannot be opened: Could not read the file because an error has occurred.

    I cannot open some files from  Illustrator which contain PNG files placed. When I try to open the file, I get a message saying: "this png contains addtional data for Adobe fireworks, which will be discarded upon save." When I press "ok" I get the same screen again. When I press "cancel" I get: "coulld not read the file because an error has occured". I am currently working on a Mac Mavericks. Using Illustrator cc and Fireworks CS6.

    Eliana,
    If you have some file corruption, one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
    Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

    While making a backup copy in Itunes of my Iphone I receive the following error message: While making a backup copy of this iPhone (-35) an error has occurred.  Do you want to continue with altering this Iphone? When you continue al the material on this Iphone will be lost.
    I reinstalled iTunes but that dit not help. After synching iTunes with my iPhone it also asks to authorize my pc and when i Click on ok, it says it is already authorized.
    Please can somebody help me, so I can make backup.

    It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
    from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • Adobe Save for Web Error - Could not complete this operation, An unknown error has occurred.

    I can't create a .gif and everytime I do get that error above.
    Is there anyway I fix this?

    I found the solution (took forever to consolidate all the answers) for OS X 10.9 + Maverick. Finally!
    1. Change permissions (as AOTPR says) to your User/Library/Preferences file so that your admin and user (the one you are using) has read + write permissions within the Get Info pane (command+I). You may have to add them with the sign.
    2. Delete Adobe save for web 12.0 Prefs & Adobe save for web 13.0 Prefs files within the User/ Library/ Preferences folder. These may be hidden for some people, so when in a finder window, hold Option(alt) and click Go from the main top menu (keep holding Option/Alt) and click Library — the full Preferences folder should open for you.
    3. Change the view when in Save for web pane in PS. If you have it in Cover Flow — it won't work. Change it to another view like List or Columns view.
    Presto! Works for me on Maverick.
    Thank god. It took forever to get this cleared up!!
