PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

There are no children, nor other suspicious characters that have "played" with my computer. One moment I'm in, the next time I turn on/restart the powerbook I'm at a screen with the name of the hard drive and two fields: username and password. Not a list with pictures and names ie 'Katie Jo' with an orange icon and 'Guest' with a silhouette of a head.
In an attempt to remedy this problem, I backed up files using target disk mode and firewire cable. I then, rebooted in single user mode, typed in the correct script and essentially made the computer appear virgin again. Original start up welcome screen display with multiple languages, and then set up prompts such as language, network, and registration. After completing the cues and the "just a few more questions" page, I press continue and am left at a grey standstill, with the continue button greyed out, and no other actions. I'm only able to "go back" by clicking the go back button, all the way to the beginning of the set up, and as I proceed through the steps a second time, I'm greeted with the same halt. What is this?

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help?

Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter.

DRM-61026: Unable to create user session for the following reason: Login failed. Invalid user name or password.

All Im very new to Oracle DRM and Im trying to get the app setup on Windows server running SQL Server 2008. When I try to login to the Web Client I keep getting this error.
DRM-61026: Unable to create user session for the following reason: Login failed. Invalid user name or password.
Can you please help

This might be due to The 'Oracle Instance' path may not have been set to a path relative to the 'CSS Bridge Host' (i.e. the Foundation Services machine) on the Configuration > Host Machines > CSS > General tab of the DRM Configuration Utility.
if this is the case then
1. Open the DRM Configuration Console.
2. Go to the Configuration > Host Machines > CSS > General tab of the DRM Configuration Utility.
3. Ensure that the path in 'Oracle Instance' has been set relative to the 'CSS Bridge Host' (i.e. the Foundation Services machine defined in 'CSS Bridge Host').
4. If corrections are made to 'Oracle Instance' then restart the DRM services to pick up the change.
Thanks,

Migrated User Account does not appear at login

Hi: I was having a few glitches with Leopard for my main user account (screen dimming did not work). So I backed up the computer to another disk using Super Duper. I did a clean install of Leopard, did the updates and then used the migration assistant to reimport my user accounts. On the first try, I actually did not migrate the main account I wanted so I used the migration assistant for a second time to import the user information I wanted.
A folder was created in the user folder with all the documents associated with the the main account I wanted to migrate, however on login, this user account does not appear.
Is there a way I can make this account appear at login.
Thanks
Mike

do the following. log in as an admin user and run the following terminal command (copy and paste, do not retype, please)
sudo rm /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/short-user-name.plist
Instead of short-user-name put in the above the short name of the migrated user. It's the same as the name of that user's home directory in /Users folder.
You'll be prompted to enter your admin password (which you won't see as you type it). that's normal.
Restart and try creating the account with that shortname. it will say that a home directory by that name already exists and ask if you want to use it. say "yes".
you'll now be able to log in into that account.

and the other being the issue where IOS can return the prompt before it's done unpacking the files
Ok, now what EXACTLY is the appliance and IOS version? The only time I know of this bug is the Metro Ethernet (ME) switches and when the current appliance is upgraded FROM an IOS version 15.2(1)S.
But there is a "workaround" which Cisco doesn't want to publish (don't ask me why not): Use "archive tar /x" and, optionally, delete the old IOS sub-directory.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend anyone using the "copy the BIN file" method unless you know what you are doing or you've put extra measures in place. The "archive /x tar" and/or "archive download-sw" was developed so that it could be automated and the operator can see the result at the end. The "copy the BIN file" method doesn't give anyone a result whether or not the file was copied or not or was the file copied completely.
Regularly, I would upgrade our switches (2960/2960S, ME-3800X, 3560E/3560CG, 3750X) fleet using the "archive download-sw" method and I don't use scripts. I just copy-and-paste the command. So far, since 2009, I've "lost" only 6 switches when I upgraded the switch to upgrade the wrong file (another IOS bug on it's own) and I had to physically show up and upgrade using ROMmon. Every time I would upgrade, about 900 switches (some in a stack), it would take me about 4 days. Even though I work with three guys who's very good at almost any scripting but we've come to a unanimous conclusion NOT to use scripting.
Moving on, if "copy the BIN file" is still a preferred choice, I would like to know how do you go about verifying the file was copied completely? Whenever I resort to the "copy the BIN file", I ensure the file copied is complete by verifying the MD5 hash value against the MD5 hash value found in the Cisco website. Trust me, adding this additional "layer" of security saved me doing ROMmon upgrade so many times.

Login Window does not appear

(I am on a different computer) When i turn on my macbook, the apple logo appears, the progress wheel moves, and it switches to the blue screen. Once there the login window does not appear and the mouse pointer shows up and fades soon after. Sometimes a progress wheel displays but it does not change anything. What can I do?

First, try booting the Mac in Safe Mode. To do so, hold down the shift key as you turn it on and continue holding it until you see the spinning gear below the Apple logo. Be patient -- booting in safe mode can sometimes take 10 minutes or longer.
If that does not work, insert the first of the two recovery DVDs that came with your computer and start the Mac while holding down the C key. Once it boots, run Disk Utility and verify both the disk and disk permissions. See if that solves your problem.

List of planning applications does not appear

Hello,
in EAS i create New Rule -> in Rule Editor displays in right pane -> i click on Select outline -> The Select Database Outline dialog box displays -> when i click on +planning -> nothing is displayed: the list of my planning applications does not appear !!
is this normal?
N.B : i use hyperion planning V11.1.1.3
cheers,

Did you log into the planning application first before logging into EAS, if the planning application service was recently restarted and there have been no logins to the applications then they won't appear.
As a test log out of EAS, log into one of the planning applications, log into EAS
Also be sure that the planning applications have been created to use Business Rules and not Calculation Manager if you want to use EAS.
If you are still having issues then it may be worth having a read of the following document on Oracle Support - "Troubleshooting Hyperion Business Rules Issues [ID 763345.1]"
Cheers

Why MSDAORA provider does not appear in the list of providers of management studio?

I have a Windows Server 2008R2
64-bit standard. with SQL Server
Express with Advanced Services 2008R2
64-bit. After performing the
above installation and do all the updates, I installed
Oracle 10G 32 bit client.
open sql server management studio and looked
at the list of providers. MSDAORA
does not appear in the list. I can do to make the
management studio put it in the list of
providers.
ps: this server must have the client
installed Oracle 10G 32
bit because I have several 32-bit applications
that use this client

Hello,
MsDaOra is the old (bases on Ora 8.5) deprecated Microsoft driver for Oracle; you should avoid to use this driver.
You can install the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle OleDb driver parallel on the machine, that works. The you can use the driver version depending on the tool you work with.

I have synced my 10 minutes music video to my 3gs and the syncing already completed without any error.

The attachment column is displayed but is blank. These are my sent items and I know for a fact that most of them have attachments. Can you help?

HT3867 I am connected to the hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear.

Hi,
I am connected to my hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear. I am able to access the login page on my PC, but on the iPhone it does not appear and just tries to connect to the webpage (e.g. google.co.uk), and eventually gives up. I've tried opening pages in Safari and Chrome, but none cause the login screen to appear. I have also tried trying to log into the login page that the PC opens when connected to the wifi, but the same thing happens. I am using a iPhone 3G with the latest iOS version 6.0.1.
Is there a way to make the iPhone try to open the login page?
Ben.

I have the exact same problem as the original poster and I tried many times already the solution proposed by trstark66 and it's still not working. It's not working for both my iPad and iPhone 5. I'm using the latest iOS version available all the time. I have my iPad since 3 years and my iPhone since 1 years and I always had that problem. I'm an airline pilot so I'm always in hotels. I asked my colleagues who also have iPhones and iPads and they all have the same problems from time to time. And when I go in an apple store they all say that it's the first time they hear about that problem. I never have that problem with my PCs, my previous phone and my BB playbook. Only with my iPhone and iPad....since now 3 years...Always the same problem. I'm connected to the Hotel Network, I have an IP address but nothing popup to register with a user name, password or just to access the "I have read and accept the condition.../connect". And when I go in Safari or other Browsers, I am not redirected to a login page. All I have is a message saying cannot access the webpage because I'm not connected to Internet. I tried already hard resets, on/off Wi-Fi, automatic connexion off, forget this network, reset network setting...
My solution for now is to use my Boingo account. I connect to the hotel Network and then I use the Boingo app to connect to Internet.
But, sometimes it works the first time or suddenly for no reason.
Very funny, I was using Boingo on my ipad to write this message in my Hotel room because I was unable to use my free connection as usual. When I tried to press "Add Reply" it failed and I had the message "An error occured while trying to submit your post, please try again". The reason was that boingo was disconnected since I was taking too long to write this message. So I wasn't connected to Internet anymore. I opened a second tab in Safari and what did I see!... the login page to access the free connection from the hotel. This is crazy. Apple, you really suck with hotel/coffee hotspots... I tried for hours and nothing, now hours later I just open a new tab and it works. But tomorrow I know I will try the same and it will not work again. It shouldn't be that complicated.

Boot DVD does not appear in list on Option Restart

Greetings - I am attempting to run Stellar Partition Manager to adjust two partitions on my SSD drive. I have setup a dual boot configuration where 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.2 reside on that SSD drive in two separate partitions. To adjust the partitions I must restart the workstation from a Boot DVD created using that software, however after restarting while holding down the Option Key, the DVD disc does not appear as one of the choices in the bootable drives list. I believe the DVD drive is functioning properly as I routinely use it to read and write discs, including loading software. I have reset the PRAM, but that has had no affect. So far I have not received knowledgable support from Stellar, and have kind of gotten the run-around. I am hoping I can independently work around this issue. Thanks for any thoughts. Scott

Hi Larry,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Edit web part option disappeared in the list web part.
I recommend to check if the account has permission to edit the web part, please check the permission of the account in Site Permissions and the list permissions.
Please also check if the target audience is set in the web part.
Best regards.
Thanks

How to find out the list of all user's whose passwords are expired

Hi
i had tried to find out the list of all user's whose passwords are expired.
i had written some jndi code by finding the max age and then find out the current time and subtracted this current time from max age using the following code
"Attributes attbts=ctx.getAttributes("cn=pwdpolicy");
String maxAge=(String)attbts.get("pwdMaxAge").get();
Date Today = new Date();
System.out.println("maxAge"+maxAge);
long curTime=(Today.getTime())-Long.parseLong(maxAge)*1000;"
and then parse it and create a string time as follows
String time=year+month+day+hour+minute+second+"Z";
where "year" "month" etc were parsed from curTime
now i can get the list by using following code
"String filterCriteria="(&(objectclass=person)(pwdChangedTime>="+time+")";
NamingEnumeration results = ctx.search(baseDN,filterCriteria, sc); "
but the current time which i am getting is the time of my system not the time of ldap server
so my questions are following;
1.Can there is any way by which i can get the tivole sever's system time.
2.If there is no way then can you suggest any other way to find out the list of user's whose passwords are expired.
please help me.
Thanks.
