1 home, 2 accounts, 1 user (too many)

Hi, I just got my powerbook back with Tiger installed
and migrated my folders across from my old computer.
Now the Powerbook has created two accounts for me,
one being the original home account and the other the
transferred information. However as this means that I
have to keep logging in and out as different users to
access my files across my 2 accounts.
How can I change this to put all the folders into my
home account and delete my 2nd user identity?
You can do this in several ways. You could back up one account and restore the files to the other account (careful lest you overwrite files of the same name). You could log in as root and move files where you want to and change the file ownership to the correct user. You could go into the Terminal and use do the same thing, without logging into root... but this would involve lots of command line work, which you may not want to do. You could create a completely new user, and copy all files from both users to that account and then kill the old accounts.
Killing an account is easy; just go to the Accounts pane of System Preferences, select the account you want to kill, and hit the '-' button.
Also, would anyone know how to change the <short
name> entry in the accounts setting?
The easiest way to do that is to create a new account with the new short name. There are ways to do it without creating a new account, but unless you know what you're doing you may not want want to try them. And if you know what you're doing you'll probably just create the new account and copy things across, it's much easier.

The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP.

Mozilla login "Account locked: too many login attempts. Please try again later."

How long until do I have to wait till my account will be able to be accessed?
I reset my password…blah blah blah..but I continue to get this when trying to login.

Ah, okay. I'm stupid. Apparently, you've entered a wrong password too many times. You have to wait a while to log back in. I don't know exactly the time frame but you should try again tomorrow. In the meantime, you can go ahead and create a new thread at [/questions/new] if you need support with Firefox.

Keeps reading adobe account used too many times

I,m unable to download ebook through library on overdrive console

You are only allowed to authorize up to 6 devices (computers, tablets, eReaders) with the Adobe DRM infrastructure at a time.
If you have old devices you no longer use, you may have exceeded that limit.
Contact Adobe Live Chat: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html and ask them to reset all your authorizations.
You should then be able to re-authorize the devices/computers you still use.
Some of the representatives on the chat don't know what to do ~ in that case try again and hope to get one that does.
~~~
Some people have problems authorizing Overdrive.
In certain cases, you can download the Bluefire app as well and authorize and use that.
Authorizing Bluefire might even make the Overdrive app start working (???), as the authorization is really for the device, not for the app.

Too many sessions

Dear All,
I am using Oracle 9i ver.2. on Windows Advance server 2003. I have observed that for a single user too many sessions are active, whereas he is running a single application. I even tried to test that when all the users are gone, even then the sessions are active resulting in low performance. I have set all the parameters in the user_profile accordingly but the problem is still there. Sometimes, I have to manual kill all those sessions.
Can anyone guide me out.
Best regards,
Khurram wazir.

A session is only going to be marked as ACTIVE in v$session and will only consume resources when it is actually executing a query. If multiple sessions are being created and multiple sessions are active, that may imply that the application(s) you are using are opening and using multiple connections, possibly issuing queries in different threads. It may also mean that you have an application that is not closing connections and/or terminating queries appropriately. You would need to debug the application if this is the case to identify the source of the bug.

Sending to local user gives too many hops

I have set up Mavericks server for mail. Works perfectly for incoming and outgoing mail to other domains but fails when trying to send mail to a local user. Here are my settings:
example.com is my primary domain, it provides DNS and Mail service
there are other domains being hosted (web) with example.com providing mail service for them.
Mail Server setting under "Provide Mails for...": Domain Name is example.com, Virtual domains: myotherdomain.com, example.com (included in list, is this correct?), and some more
DNS settings: each domain has a machine record for the domain name (e.g. example.com has an A record, myotherdomain.com has its own A record), each domain has an MX pointing to example.com. Domain example.com has an alias (CNAME) record mail.example.com pointing to example.com. This is the only place where the name mail.example.com appears in the whole server.
Last night I tried to reply to a mail I received from a user on myotherdomain.com. My receiving account is also on myotherdomain.com (myotherdomain.com is one of my domains with MX pointing to example.com). When I simply hit reply the mail server eventually reported back that the mail was not delivered due to too many hops.
Here are the headers from the mail I received. I simply hit reply and got the too many hops. WHY?

Thanks for your help

Invoke the following diagnostic by launching Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and see if there are any network or DNS issues reported:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
Also post the internal and external DNS translations of the following:
dig +short miniserver.example.com
dig +short mail.example.com
dig +short MX myotherdomain.com
dig +short MX example.com
dig +short @8.8.8.8 miniserver.example.com
dig +short @8.8.8.8 mail.example.com
dig +short MX @8.8.8.8 myotherdomain.com
dig +short MX @8.8.8.8 example.com
I'd look for a bogus or missing MX record for myotherdomain.com, to start with.
FWIW, myotherdomain.com is a real and registered domain.    Probably not yours, I'm guessing. The example.net and example.org domains are also available for obfuscation, in addition to the example.com domain.

Can't connect to Server - "too many users" after 10.8 install

After upgrading my Retina MBP, my Air, and my mid-2011 iMac (which acts as a file server) to Mountain Lion, I find I cannot consistently connect to the iMac server. Everything is done over an Airport Extreme wifi network, and there were no issues in 10.7. It usually happens 24-48 hours after a retstart, and a restart will fix it though that is inconvenient. The error given on the machine trying to connect in is "too many users" on the host (the iMac server). Any thoughts?

Me too... similar setup. MBPr, MBP and an old MB with a Mini/drobo as a file server. A reboot fixes it, but that's a pain if I'm not home.
I have noticed that I can usually share the screen even if I can't mount a drive, which helps, but still just another hurtle.

"too many active users"

Had an MS Access database on a Drobo-FS that a few staff were sharing. Worked fine.
Set up a new Lion server mac mini and moved the database to that machine and set up SMB sharing. (server's running 10.7.2 Server).
Works fine for all afp and smb file-sharing uses *except* for those users who are accessing a Microsoft Access database sitting on a shared volume. Even if only one user is active, they get "Too Many Active Users" and the database won't open. I see this when using Access 2007 and/or Access 2010.
If I drag the access db file from the server to a local volume, it opens and runs fine.
Guessing it's an edge case for the new smb software in Lion.
Have reported this to Apple but no solution yet. If any one has a workaround (or clue), I'd love to hear it.

The problem is due to Lion not supporting byte level file locking on its implementation of SMB which is required by some older applications such as Excel 2003, Pastel accounting, Caseware and MS Access.. Upgrading the app sometimes fixes it as in Excel. If the latest release does not resolve it then the only way I have found to fix this is to disable SMB sharing in Lion and install a 3rd party SMB sharing stack. I tried Samba but could not get it to work properly even using SMBUp which takes a lot of pain out of the install. I eventually found an app from Thursby.com called Dave which works really well, unfortunately it does not integrate with OpenDir at this stage but you can create users in the local dir for use with Dave while continuing to use OD for other stuf. Ive asked their developers to consider adding LDAP support. If more people ask then they might do it. The big downside is that it is really expensive at over $100.
I've not tested Lion 10.7.3 update yet to see if it resolves the file locking problem. I plan to test this during the week.

Too many different admin rights, user preferred

Hello,
I have after migrating to my new Mac, 5 accounts, almost all with admin right now.
Two migrations, the second one done with admin rights, doubled the number of accounts...
I want to keep all accounts, that is ok - I use only one as main, with my first admin account on my old Mac, being left as "history".
Now I need to get help with
How to put all admin rights more normal than now, when I've got:
staff, admin, system, and three different user accounts with admin rights.
I had to give them admin rights in order to get Mail migration done, this worked ok when I did the second migration, and got more accounts..
I want to get advice on what type of model/principle to aim for, for the admin rights all over the file system,
I would love to have the rights as simple as possible, no special entries for all the above admin accounts.
So, should I use my main admin account, which was the main account on my last Mac, and have
my currently used account (with admin rights), reworked as a User account, just to be more safe,
although Mac security seems to be improving.
I am very unsure of how much I have to rework the rights on things in my whole file system,
in order to normally be able to run using only a normal user account, with no admin rights.
Things seem to work ok, now when everything is admin, but I'm afraid that I'll get many Apps
starting to have trouble if I don't have rights set smartly.
Thanks for any ideas about how to do this using as few principles as possible!
Thanks,
/groundliner

I think it would be far to messy to do things over, since I've used the new setup for two month or so. I have, after the migration, evacuated the internal Macintosh HD's contents with 5 accounts, to my new external SSD.
And it is of course not so easy to return to what the internal, dimounted partition contains, now a few weeks afterwards. And then I've had Mail and everything running for a month before that, after the messy migration. A problem also is that my Time Machine volume would get crowded with everything on the one drive. After all this...
Installing a new system with recovery mode, was what I did when I did the second migration. But that whole adventure scared me a bit also, that I have to plan things before doing anything. I did not. I did not either know that my Snow Leopard partition had to go. (I bought a few new Upgraded Apps).
One further problem I have, is that my Migration was done from my Time Machine volume, and now I have two, three Western Digital HDs, and they are hardware encrypted, so they had to be unlocked before I could do any Migration. I felt that I had to plan that, but it just got done a bit too fast. Also, I had trouble Importing all my mail into Mail, so Apple support recommended me to do a migration again using an Admin account. - So I got too many accounts, and it's no big hurry to clean out the somewhat doubled folders. (And I own "Spring Cleaning", so I can somewhat easily compare which folders are identical between the doubled accounts.)
With your method I agree that I maybe could succeed getting a copy on my machine of everything on the old one. And eliminating things, I was pretty satisfied with having not copies of very much on the old one. That mess was the result of two Migrations. And that I accidentally, after the second Migration, got Time Machine starting suddenly - so I have backups that are unnecessary with intermediate results.
Thanks, I'll look at the Setup New Mac guide.
The sorting out of permissions is maybe only neccessary to do on the folders in Users/* and the like.
And then I'll not touch the permissions for system, (but wheel have I not yet seen on the Mac).
I know that I have added rights for administrators here and there, but I strongly suspect I only did that on the top levels. Also, some of my migration problems had to do with evacuating my main (Admin) account on my old Mac - I got tired of a messy account, and did some cleaning out and moved User data to a new (user) account. Apple support told me how to do some of the transferring, like moving Mail files and other stuff.
Thanks anyway!

I just bought a macbook and tried to add it to my home share but got a message that there were too many devices. How do I deauthorize machine I nolonger have?

I just bought anothe macbook and tried to add it to my home share but got a message about too many devises. How do I deauthorize machine I no longer have as I am sure some of those I threw out had itunes?

You'll have to log in to your iTunes account. On the Account Information page click on the 'Deauthorize All' button. You will have to re-authorize all the computers you presently want to associate with the iTunes account. (See screen shot below.)
In the future, to avoid having to deauthorize all and then re-authorize, select 'Deauthorize This Computer…' from the 'Store' menu on the computer you no longer want to use with the iTunes account.

When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that flush the tab?
Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

HT1420 I'm trying to authorize a new computer with an itune account, but my the computer statea that I have too many devices authorized. I only have 2 computers in my possession now. How can I deauthorize computer I don't have anymore without deauthorizin

I have recently purchased a new lap top. Both my wife and I share our Itune music. When I purchesed the computer I was able to authorize my itunes account on it and move my purchaced music over from my iphone. However, I was not able to move my wifes music over because she has too many devices authorized under her account. Most of those computers are no longer in our possession and have been thrown out. How can she deauthorzise computer we don't have in our possession anymore without deauthorizing them all?

Authorizing deauthorizing has NO effect at all on your itunes library. You lose nothing.
You should also alwasy have a backup copy.
You MUST deauthorize all.
You have the only answer there is.
