Photo Booth, iMovie, iPhoto & zip files not working on Network Accounts

[Mrmichaelhill]

Hello,

 

I have 30 iMacs linked to a mac mini server and Windows Server 2012 Active Directory.

They log in with their AD accounts and all seems ok. We had some trouble with permissions originally but these are now resolved.

When a user logs on they can't open the following...

 

iMovie: Appears to open but no actual window appears, the title bar changes at the top but nothing works..

[Console]

27/11/2014 10:49:28.131 iMovie[1574]: Could not find image named '7F966C8D-418D-4C52-AEFB-2D79E62891BF'.

Photo Booth: This opens but the camera box is black with grey spinning timer

iPhoto: Cannot create a new library in this location because you do not have enough access privileges

[Console]

Now here is what I've tested...

 

 

• Logged in using only Active Directory, I removed the link to our mac server so it does not get any management from the mac server, just Active Directory with Home Profile location.
  
• Created a brand new share on the AD server, created a new user and set their home folder to this location
  
• Created a user on the macserver Open Directory and their home folder on the mac server
  
• Tried upgrading one to Yosemite
  
• Tried an older mac model without our image build on
  

 

I have literally tried everything...

 

They are iMacs running OSX v10.9.4

 

Any help at all will be massively appreciated. I'm banging my head against a wall here, this has been going on for months

 

Thanks

Just a quick update with the Zip files.

 

I've downloaded 'The Unarchiver' and that will unzip fine. it seems to be an issue with apples 'Archive Utility' over network I suppose?

Not sure if this is related but I was just about to post a question on the new iMovie (10.0.6) as we are having issues with network home folders.

 

Have you tried getting it to work with a network accounts that has a local home folder (not on the server) - I'll post another question in the mac forum explaining my issues in case this is not applicable to your question..
