How can I change my AD user accounts to unmanaged?

Hi all,
I'm trying to put together a Leopard Mac Pro build and run into a problem that I've replicated on a 1year old Macbook Pro. I'm Running fully patched 10.5.2 on both machines. Binding to AD is no problem. After logging in with an AD account, the Login Items screen in Accounts is unreachable. I've heard that setting the account to unmanaged will fix this. The AD accounts do show as "managed" in the Accounts prefs pane. However, holding down option key while logging in does not bring up the management settings window. The option key does the trick in Tiger, but does nothing on either Leopard machines.
Does anyone know of an alternate method to set the account to unmanaged?
Thanks,
-jb

Create another non-Apple email address to use and either use it as your new primary email address, or change the rescue address to the new address and then use the current rescue address as your new primary address.

HT1528 How can I change administer on user accounts without a password?

I am the sole user of my computer and do have a username and password, but somehow was unselected as an administrator. Without being selected as the administrator, I am unable to make necessary changes. How can I correct this?

Could you be more precise? How were you "unselected as an administrator?" What is your curren account status level?

I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
If so, you can change it.
1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
3. Log in with a different ID.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

How can I change from a free account to a paid account?

How can I change from a free account to a paid account?

Tom gave you the answer to your question.
if you want a Paid book account, follow the process outlined in the link supplied.
Apple iBooks store set out these requirements and they do not deviate from them for Individuals.
You need a new email address for a new account. You need an EIN USA tax file number if you are not a US citizen or US resident. You need to submit bank and credit card details...these can be the same as your iTunes account.
However much you find the requirements difficult, Apple do not make exceptions.

How Can I Login To Multiple User Accounts Simultaneously

I am using an Intel iMac (2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with 1GB of memory and 10.4.11. I have Fast User Switching enabled. I restart the Mac every morning. Then I login to a second user account. While at work, I access these accounts via VNC.
Sometimes I forget to login to the second user account. I do it from work via VNC, which sometimes causes complications.
Does OSX support simultaneous multiple user account login? If not, is there a work-around solution such as an AppleScript? This would provide a time savings to me, as well as a convenience if I forgot to login to the second user account before leaving home.
Thank you.
Kurt R. Todoroff

Seems to me, in another discussion, the simple Fast User Switching does not
do much really fast or automatically; there are a few faster steps than having
to log into each and every account change (even when FUS is enabled) so
this later development sounds a little more automatic, esp over a distance.
Is there a third party app or valid script that an do the multiple logins automatic
after the first-run; so passwords need not be re-entered, and the screen can just
switch over "fast" to another open account window, ready to go to work in there?
{And not just a keyboard shortcut to save a few little steps, overall.}
Whichever way the road turns...
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I retrieve my old user account?

Hi,
I migrated my old iMac to my new 27" iMac and did it wirelessly via the internet and it took ages. Apple support told me to do it this way because my old iMac is 400 Firewire and my new one only has 800 Firewire and I only had a 400 Firewire cord.
I was told to choose the no I don't want to migrate when I went through registering my computer. I then got it set up with internet and then went into Migration Assistant. I told the woman I spoke too that it was going to create a problem with my old user account and she said I could just delete it.
Here is my dilemma. My old user account is called Pink Tuley (which has all my information, documents etc. on it), I created a new account called Tuley and you guessed it it's a shell with nothing there. All my stuff in on Pink Tuley and when I go to MacintoshHD users and locate my Pink Tuley folder there are a bunch of folders that I can't open (they have that red circle with a white bar in the middle of them). How do I make Pink Tuley my main account or get all the Pink Tuley stuff onto my new Tuley account? I hope there is a way to figure this out.

Niel,
Thanks that was easy. Now can I go and delete the new user account I created when I first registered this computer? I have a few user accounts from my old machine I don't use, can I delete those also or is it best to leave them alone?
