Yosemite Hangs at 50% after Joining New/Old Domain
Hi.
I have read a lot regarding this issue and I am yet to resolve it.
We currently have 60 iMac 21.5 from around 2011. Running Mavericks they ran like a dream but since upgrading to Yosemite they hate our domain.
Diffrent machines hang at 50%. I have known the safe mode boot up then restart trick to work for a few but some are being stubborn and not even booting into safe mode no matter what I try.
Even done the whole reset PRAM which fails to work and also done the Open Directory thing which doesn't stop the issue.
Basically you name it and I've done it. I went to extreme and built a new mac server along with a new Windows Domain and a fresh install of Yosemite and the issue still bloody happened!!
I then thought aaahhh!!......10.10.1 is out..that will fix it! NO! it's still the same.
Can anyone help please?? or do I have to wipe them and roll them back to Mavericks and hope Apple fixes it before 10.11 is out?
Not too sure if anyone is having the same issue but I think I have figured it out or at least our issue anyway.
After trying all the above, I decided to think back to basics. I booted 2 macs up using identical back ups, one didn't have it's hard drive formatted and one did.
The one with it's drive untouched kept on doing the 50% hang. The one with it's drive formatted worked like a dream.
I booted from a Time Machine Backup of the freshly built mac along with all our software installed.
The mac wasn't domained or joined to a Apple Server.
So, this is what I did:
1. Created a Time Machine Backup of the machine how I wanted it replicated.
2. Booted the mac up from the USB Time Machined hard drive.
3. Navigated to Disk Utilities and formated the whole drive from the top object using a different name for the partition.
4. Then closed Disk Utilities and navigated to Restore OS X from Time Machine.
5. Once the restore was completed, I rejoined the mac to the Active Directory then to the Apple Mac Server.
6. Restarted the mac at least 10 times and all issues are now resolved.
Not too sure this will help anyone but it worked for me and now means I can carry on with the roll out of Yosemite.
It sort of makes sense I suppose that you would need to format the whole drive to remove any legacy bugs or settings.
Anyway, hope this helps somebody

Performed a Domain Rename as per the following instructions:

and then after these issues I have gone through the related technet articles starting here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794793(v=ws.10).aspx
specifically the Fix Group Policy Objects and Links.
But still I have the following issues:
At least for group policy clients believe they are on the old domain - despite even having renamed the computers with the new domain name.
When I perform a gpresult the output file shows as being connected to the old Domain - despite manually going into computer properties and renaming the computer with the new domain name...
CN=Allister Wade,OU=Users,OU=Home,DC=NEWDOMAIN,DC=local
Last time Group Policy was applied: 27/05/2014 at 5:36:31 AM
Group Policy was applied from: finch.newdomain.local
Group Policy slow link threshold: 500 kbps
Domain Name: OLDDOMAIN
Domain Type: WindowsNT 4
On the server I cannot open Group Policy Management on the single Domain Controller as it is looking for a DC on the old Domain:
Even though it has listed the new domain in the root of the management console when I attempt to expand it out I am prompted:
"The specified domain controller could not be contacted. This affects the following domain in the console.
Domain: olddomain.local
The error was:
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted."
I can select to remove the domain from the console but this does nothing - as said it already shows the new domain in the console.
Far as I am aware the clients should not even of needing renaming or changing the domain, but were having authentication issues before I did this. Not sure what I have done wrong here..?Client's NSLookup shows "UnKnown" as DNS Server so thought to check DNS out.

Yosemite hangs in booting after applying Update 2015-003.
I have applied Update 2015-003 to Yosemite.
After booting the progress bar hangs at about 30% for over an hour.
The hardware is a MacBook Pro with a SSD harddrive.Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. -
IPad 2 hanging periodically right after receiving new mail
I've had my iPad 2 since March 23rd. It's been working fine until last week when I heard the new mail indication so I opened the smart cover and nothing happened. The screen remained black. The iPad 2 would not respond to the home or standby/power buttons. I was forced to do a reset (home/standby). I figured this was a one time fluke, but it just happened again today. The first time I noticed it was running iOS 4.3.2 and now with 4.3.3. It seems there's some kind of stability problem.
Has anyone else seen this?Is your new phone signed into the Apple ID used to purchase these apps in Settings>iTunes & App Stores? If not, sign into your ID and try syncing again. If it is, try tapping the ID, sign out, then sign back in, then try syncing again. Also be sure these apps are all checked and Sync Apps is checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings before syncing.

Re: New & Old Domains No Longer Accessible ?
Problem resolved:
When changing directory permissions for whatever reason, make a note of what you changed the permissions from so that you can get them to be what they were originally after you are done with whatever caused you to change the dir permissions in the first place.
/etc/opt/SUNWips/desktop <-- desktop is set at 700
to ftp in and access that directory, the permissions need to be set at 777 ..
Afterwards, to be functional to the outside world, it needs to be re-set to 700 ..
thanks to all for your support .. jesus ..Man, you're absolutely right. In my case, I was helped by telephone to figure out the old appleID information and change it to something valid. Now, with the assistance of the representative, I have my songs back! They were very attentive and although it required a lot of patience on both of our parts to understand what was going on, we got there... It took a week of discussions!

I use the new (old) iPad 64 G Cellular. It hangs several times
I use the new (old) iPad 64 G Cellular. It hangs several times and I have to hard reboot it many times to bring it to normal. I wasted my time so much doing hard reboot. It occurs when available storage is about 1 GB. Someone help me coz I did tell them once but no any contact after that. So useless. Thank you anyways.
Hi if not now,
In order to see your device in iTunes you may just need to select the option to have the Sidebar shown, something that by default is not displayed. This is where Devices and other items are displayed that you may be trying to locate.
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Show Status Bar - Choose View > Show Status Bar (this feature will conveniently display the number of items and playback time for a category, for example, music or movies).
I hope this helps!

After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to be fixed...Can this bug expected to be fixed in the next update...
Hi 1283ar.
Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later. -

How did you migrate? Unless you cloned over a complete system you just made a bunch more trouble for yourself. You can never, never migrate PSE with the migration assistant. PSE is not a tidy package app in accordance with the apple developer guidelines. It strews stuff all over your hard drive and puts things in places the MA isn't programmed to look. Now you will have a lot of manual cleaning up to do. You must always reinstall PSE from scratch.
First download and run this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation -problems.html
Then you can manually remove the bits that got copied over. You can't use spotlight to help with this; it's programmed to ignore these kinds of files. In addition to what's in the applications folder, you will need to go to the library at the top level of your hard drive>Application Support>Adobe and remove anything in there, as well as your username>library>preferences. Then you can reinstall from your original media.

i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.
How did you "move everything" over?
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

just bought a new iphone 4s 16gb my sim worked correctly after puting and old profile on the phone so I could get all the info now it says invalid sim what can I do o fix this?
I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7
New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7 workstation.
Windows 2008r2 hosts the hyper-v server. I can create VMs and VHD's when connecting to the server locally with the hyper-v manager.
The issue arises when I try to connect to the hyper-v server from my workstation which runs windows 7.
I have installed The Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu that was suggested for windows 7 sp1.
I can connect to the hyper-v server, create vm's but I cannot create vhd's the gui just hangs with no errors in event log or on screen.
The files are there on the hyper-v hard drive but i suspect they are just created by windows as they are written and are not valid.I've had just the same solution. Both did Hang Fixed size and flexible.
Two parts were taken:
1 - KB939820 for Windows 2003 server based domain controllers
2 - disable using IPv6 on your NIC
Result - both types of VHD's are created normaly.

I want to know if I am going to have to upgrade all graphic programs right away after buying new computer.

Thanks for any advice!!!Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine. OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.
