HT4798 Changing back to Admin User ID from 502 to 501

I have just used Migration assistant to my new iMac with Mountain Lion. In attempting to re-install images into Aperture I get the error message that I dont have permission. Can I change my User Admin ID from 502 back to 501 in order to regain my Admin control of files?

Hi Eric thanks for reply,
Just the one Admin, which after my migration I note that the User ID is set to 502 and presumably not 501 which it should be. The Migration from my Macbook Pro caused such chaos unfortunately. I have at last managed to get Aperture working again but it wont let me Import to projects, as I was getting the warning messge that I didn't have permissions to save. I think that is why the setting needs to be put back to 501.
I setup a new User account giving myself full ADMIN, logged in and managed to get the files imported.
Can I therefore go back to my old Login and change the advance settings back to USER ID 501 from 502. I hope I have made this clear?
Kind regards

  • Changing the weblogic admin user password

    I have faced an issue in reseting weblogic admin user password. Following are the steps i have executed in sequence.please help to understand why it is not working this way
    I have 2 managed instances running on two separate computers.
    `Step 1.` shutdown the admin server instance ( i did not shutdown the node manager and other 2 manage server instances
    `Step 2.` Set the environment variables
    `cd $DOMAIN_HOME/bin`
    . ./setDomainEnv.sh
    `Step 3.` then executed the command below to create the new password
    cd ../security
    mv DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift oldDefaultAuthenticator
    java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount weblogic new_password .
    `Step 4.` backed up existing `boot.properties` file and created a new file. Also backed up data directory of admin server. created a new `boot.properties` file with following configuration
    with plain text username(weblogic_admin) and password (new_password).
    cd ../servers/AdminServer
    mv data data_old
    cd security/
    mv boot.properties oldboot.properties
    Step 5. Then i restarted the admin server. admin server is restarted successfully and i was able to login the admin console with my new username and password. Issue came when i try to shoutdown the admin server. when i execute sh stopWeblogicAdmin.sh , it will through following exception. But , if i kill the admin server process , then i am able to start the admin server with out any problem. and i am able to login to the server also. I am also able to stop and start manage server instances through admin console. But why it is failing only when i try to stop.could anybody help me on this

    Hi,
    This issue was occurring because stopWebLogic.sh was picking the username and password from properties user config files in user's home directory: username-WebLogicConfig.properties, username-WebLogicKey.properties.
    If the credentials for weblogic server are changed then new user config files should be created, if these are not created then stopWebLogic.sh will pick up the old credentials and hence fail.
    Please refer the following document for information on user configuration files:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13813/reference.htm#WLSTC430
    Connecting to the server after deleting username-WebLogicConfig.properties, username-WebLogicKey.properties resolves the issue as it forces the script to use the credentials provided by the user while running stopWebLogic.sh
    There are two ways you can resolve this issue:
    1) Create new user config files with the correct credentials as explained in the following document:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13813/reference.htm#WLSTC430
    Or
    2) To force the stopWeblogic.sh script to use credentials provided by the user while running the script follow these steps:
    In the stopWeblogic.sh file use the following connect command:
    connect(userConfigFile='',userKeyFile='', url='${ADMIN_URL}', adminServerName='${SERVER_NAME}')instead of:
    connect(${userID} ${password} url='${ADMIN_URL}', adminServerName='${SERVER_NAME}')Hence in the stopWebLogic.sh script replace:
    echo "import os" >"shutdown.py"
    echo "if os.environ.has_key('wlsUserID'):" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo " wlsUserID = os.environ['wlsUserID']" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo "if os.environ.has_key('wlsPassword'):" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo " wlsPassword = os.environ['wlsPassword']" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo "connect(${userID} ${password} url='${ADMIN_URL}', adminServerName='${SERVER_NAME}')" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo "shutdown('${SERVER_NAME}','Server')" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo "exit()" >>"shutdown.py"with:
    echo "import os" >"shutdown.py"
    echo "if os.environ.has_key('wlsUserID'):" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo " wlsUserID = os.environ['wlsUserID']" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo "if os.environ.has_key('wlsPassword'):" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo " wlsPassword = os.environ['wlsPassword']" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo "connect(userConfigFile='',userKeyFile='', url='${ADMIN_URL}', adminServerName='${SERVER_NAME}')" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo "shutdown('${SERVER_NAME}','Server')" >>"shutdown.py"
    echo "exit()" >>"shutdown.py"

  • Admin user removed from Permissions

    After upgrading my wiki server to 10.6.4 I found the admin user was no longer part of the Administrative permissions for each users wiki. I check their metadata.plist file and sure enough the admin user ( and other users ) was missing from the admin access. After adding the admin back in and restarting the web service everything worked for that one wiki but I have over 1100 wikis. Anyone else run into this issue?

    Hi,
    To block IE from connecting to internet, you can create a deny outbound rule in Windows Firewall.
    Locate to Advanced settings in Windows Firewall.
    From the left pane, click Outbound Rules.
    Click Action, select New Rule option, and then perform step by step.
    Also you can set up a dummy proxy server.
    Go to Tools> Internet Options>
    Connections> LAN Settings.
    Uncheck “Automatically detect settings” and select the option to use a proxy server. 
    Set the address to a dummy IP (127.0.0.1) followed by port 80.

  • I changed my wheel group properties to no access at top disk level.  I messed up, how can I change back in single user mode "command s" as I am now in Thailand and not able to access startup disks?

    I messed up, I changed my "Wheel group" properties to No Access ( or something other than the default) at the top level of my startup disk "Macintosh HD".   Now my computer won't start up, I just get the spinning wheel of death.    I also am in Thailand right now, so I cannot go to a Genius at an apple store, nor do I have startup disks available.
    So I was hoping there was a way to change back the properties of my disk (Volume) in single user mode (via Command +s) during startup, i.e. can I do a chmod command on the Macintosh HD listing under the Volume Directory.    Or where do i fix this?   Is it fixable without startup disks, etc...
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!
    If you could also please let me know you have an answer, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!! 
    thanks so much

    <Edited by Host>

    Thomas,
    Thanks for the info on command-R, didn't know about that!!!
    Yes I changed the sharing "Wheel Group" permissions on my hard drive via Get Info.    But that's all I did.    And then most of the apps wouldn't respond with anything.    So not knowing I did something stupid, I decided to re-boot, and then nothing but the Wheel of Death at startup.
    I was trying to limit access to my computer on this network, changed my public folder settings, and then I thought why not the whole hard drive, but at that time I had no idea what the "Wheel Group" was... so I shouldn't have touched it, BUT IT DID ...... argggggg....
    I managed to go to an internet cafe & research the problem yesterday.    I used the command +s single mode to get in, and then did the necessary steps to mount the drive so I could make changes.   I basically did this:
    Boot into single-user mode (boot while holding down CMD-S)
    Follow the on-screen instructions to mount the file system as read-write (a fsck command followed by a mount command)
    Type the following: "chmod o+r /" followed by "chmod o+x /"
    Type "exit" to leave single user mode and complete the boot sequence.
    I found it at this link http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=416180
    It worked... thank God!!!   Well so far so good.   
    I was going to try my own fix by chmod on the Hard drive listed under Volumes directory, but that doesn't seem to match the info under Get Info Window.    So I just used the fix above.    I probably should now go and do "Disk Utility - repair permissions", however I am a little gun shy right now, so I will probably wait until I am back in the States so I can go to an Apple store if it messes up.   Right now I'm following the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" MOTTO...
    So Thomas I just wanted to say THANKS for replying so quickly, and I really appreciate your help!!!
    (yes I know I shouldn't have used my email addresses, but I WAS DESPERATE, but that's still no excuse)
    Hopefully maybe this thread will help someone else out in the future....
    Okay, thanks again!

  • How to stop pwsswd  change option for Admin user id or SLD or monitor ID

    Hello frineds,
    As I know we do have one option to disable password change prompt using J2EE Admin tool ( Go to security provider->Usermanagement and search for the user
    Select the user and check "No password change required") but this option checked for all user users by default and it prompting password change after 90 days (default).
    Is there any other way to stop change password prompt for admin user ID's?
    Any help is a great help

  • My template was changed by another admin user and I cannot roll back to the original

    Hello,
    We have a website with BC - http://www.preventive.com/. My boss used the admin log in yesterday and played with the original template and of course messed it up.
    This morning I tried to roll bacl to the original, but for some reason the main menu is still vertical and not in its correct place.
    Please help.
    Thank you,
    Anna

    Hi Anna,
    I don't see any CSS being applied to the menu that would define the look of it. If you want the menu items to be horizontal you would need to have them float. Best is you wrap the menu in a div with an ID, for example: <div id="main-nav">{module_menu,XXX}</div> and start building up the CSS from there:
    #main-nav ul li {
         float:left;
         list-style:none;
    Hard to tell you the specifics if I don't know how the menu is supposed to look like. Do you have a proof of the layout you can share?

  • How to get back to default user login from 'switch user' screen

    Hi
    I have a macbook air and mistakenly pressed 'switch user' from the login screen. Now I am stuck on a different login screen with now option to go back to the main / usual one?
    Is there a keyboard shortcut or something to go back? The only option I have are to 'sleep' 'restart' or 'shutdown' and I don't want those because of unsaved work?!
    Thanks

    Hi Aritra,
    Just have a look at the report RSUSR200. This report is part of the AIS (Audit Information System) and will report users who have not logged on for a specified period of time.
    Also have a look at the report RSUSR000.
    You can even find out more reports from SE38 searching for RSUS* & then click f4.
    You can get the names of the tables & the flow if you go through these programs.

  • Non admin user - changes not saved (Safari settings, system prefs, etc.)

    iMac, 2 users, one is administrator and other is standard user. Recently, in the non-admin user account, it has become impossible to make any changes. For example, adding an application to the the Dock, after logging out and back in next time, the application is not in the Dock any more. Also, making changes to the prefs in Safari, changes are not saved.
    I noticed this after installing FireFox v4. I installed it as admin whilst in the non-admin users account. However, I don't believe that the installation of FF has anything to do with the problem, it just highlighted it. I've checked the permissions for the various directories that hold prefs info such as user/libraries/application prefs/etc. etc. and also Safari prefs. Nothing I can see that has changed in system prefs.
    Any ideas on what has caused the problem (kids are known to fiddle from within the non-admin account) and any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Hi PPRuNe,
    You could try making the standard user an Admin too. To do this, make sure you are logged in to the standard user, go to System Preferences > Accounts > Standard user (you may have to unlock the padlock) > Allow user to administer this computer
    This will allow changes to be made without being prompted for a password all the time.
    However, if you had Parental Controls on, they probably won't work on an admin account because as an admin you have complete control over a computer, so the computer thinks there is no point in having the controls turned on. And if the kids are known to "fiddle," just think carefully!
    Hope this helps you.
    Chris.

  • How can I transfer iPhoto files from one admin user to another on the same Mac?

    i created a new admin user on my computer, so now my husband has one and so do i. how can i transfer our iphoto files from his admin user to mine as a shared file? i was able to do this with itunes easily but i am not able to do it with iphoto.

    You want to share the Library?
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Importing Security Through shared services caused admin user password chang

    Hi,
    I exported shared services from shared services url from one environment and imported into another environment. This changed the admin user password where I imported.
    Details:-
    I went to shared services of one environment say dev and to -> Applications Groups -> Foundation -> shared services and exported it. Took its export and imported into test environment.
    Now what it did it changed the user password of the target with the source one. However I did remove the internal ID of all files in it.
    Can anyone please help ? How to get the password of it back? I do not have back up of shared services of test environment.
    Version 11.1.2.1
    Thanks a lot in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was hoping you had a strategy in place, it is basically restoring the shared services relational database from a backup, stop the epm related services first.
    It may be even possible to correct your LCM file and set the admin to the way it should be but I am not sure what state the provisioning is in so couldnt guarantee it would work.
    Cheers

    2 weeks ago I bought a beand new Macbook pro 13" non retina display which ran Mountain Lion. What I did was to make 4 partitions to match what is on time machine backps of my previous 2007 Blackbook. So I did a restore and now my new MBP was running Lion. Quickly that was solved when the app store dl'd and installled Mountain Lion.
    Seems perfect but all my preferences from the older blackbook seemed to mess up my trackpad. Couldn't do the wonderful scrolling that my iphone 4s does with ease. It behaved like an old mouse with none of the fancy features we've gotten so used to which worked beautifully onn the old Macbook. Well did an ML os reinstall with no results. My bluetooth apple mouse works like the trackpad. I played with the buttone in the 3 screens all to no avail and tried to match them to the setting in guest acct for the trackpad.
    Funny thing but when I'm logged into guest and the trackpad works beautifully.
    All the OS installs on the 3 partitions 1 Lion and the other 2 ML, the trackpad works beautifully.
    Thought that my original admin login user account has been corrupted with old lion and whatever I have before so it may never get back to normal. it was suggested that I create another admin account in a different name which I have done . The logic was that all my files from the original admin user get moved or copied. then when everything works in the new user, just delete the original user and rename it what the old admin user was called. Sounds easy but what happens to the library files in a copy/ move? do they just infect the new user with the same bad prefernces that caused the original problem?That's the easy part. After that things get dicey. Do I just copy all the files from 1 user to another. Do I share all the files in my main (flawed) admin acct?
    I thought that maybe my main old admin user acct had too many old preferences so many were deleted up to the week I did the restore. Easy to do and any weird non .plist acct were deleted. Dis this with the apple preferences only.
    Any idea how I proceed from going beyong the creation of the new user account.

    I have discovered the solution and it involves an issue I suspected. After the restore of my old Time Machine Lion files to my new MBP running ML, the restore restored my computer back to Lion. After an install of ML, my computer worked perfectly except the fancy Scroll and zoom featured we all love from the trackpad. Ha already installed ML on other partitions and the trackpad worked perfectly on them.  Even the guest login's trackpad worked perfectly but not the main admin account.
    First thought was to create a new admin account and copy everything from the old admin to the new admin and then delete the old admin account. Hated the idea because all files had to be copied rather than moved.
    So what was left to do. I had thought of deleting all the apple preferences from the library and replace them with the contents of the library on another partition in ML. First I deleted old preferences many of which were old Lion preferences. That didn't solve the issue.
    I forgot that Lion and ML HIDE the user library so I was working on the wrong library. Discovered the Terminal command "chflags nohidden ~/Library" and I chose to reveal the user library on a ML partition.
    Solution:
    I booted into another ML partition. I guess that I could have booted into the new admin user account and changed the permissions  to access the old admin users Library But I chose to boot
    from another ML partition: copy ALL the com.apple. XXXXX.plist files and the folder  BY Host. It has special hidden files. Other  way is to copy the Preferences folder we'll say into the Desktop.
    I then proceeded to delete ALL the com.apple…….plist files and the Host folder into the trash. Then I copied all the apple.com…plist files and the Host folder and then rebooted. And now my wonderful Trackpad works as mountain Lion intended it to work.
    I'm leaving this solution because there's someone else in the MacWorld with the same issue.

  • Additional / secondary Admin users are removed when changes are savedto GMS 2 config

    We recently upgraded from the GW Mobility Pack (Data Synchronizer)
    v1.2.5 (299) to the new GW Mobility Service v2.0.1 (53).
    With the previous versions of DataSync, I had two admin users setup:
    admin1 and admin2. Admin1 was the original administrator setup with the
    DataSync server, admin2 was manually added to the configengine.xml file.
    This worked fine for the last couple years.
    Since upgrading to GMS 2.0.1, I've found that when I make a change to
    the GMS configuration through the WebAdmin interface, "admin2" is left
    out of the configengine.xml file. After any change to the GMS
    configuration I have to manually go back into the configengine.xml file,
    add "admin2", and restart the services again.
    Anyone else seeing this?
    Thanks,
    Greg
