10.9.4 upgrade has locked me out of many of my files

I upgraded to 10.9.4. Now, I can no longer log in to "network accounts". I am lucky in that my school district gave me administrator access, so I am currently logging in that way. Big problem though- the permissions on EVERY SINGLE FILE AND FOLDER are set to read only, so any time I want to access anything, I have to change the permissions on the folder/document. I have tried doing this en masse to no avail. Please help me to log in to my original account so I can function the way I did before 10.9.4 hit.

Here is a screenshot. Everything inside of that Macintosh HD folder (which is where I store absolutely everything and have never touched the other two "devices" is read only.I also can no longer print (tells me 'Filter' failed) and access our network (Global) drives.

  • Snow leopard upgrade has locked me out of gmail - can anyone help?

    Yesterday I upgraded an old mac book with Snow Leopard and am now at 10.6.8. It has knocked me out of gmail. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    Is there a patch?

    That's a curious situation, and so I have to assume you have issue with the Mail set-up in Snow Leopard after upgrading, because those settings no longer work now...? When you upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8, did you choose to install Rosetta?
    There are several support articles for all of the services Google
    provides, from their main page... https://support.google.com/
    For gmail in an email application, the setup is not too different now than it was a few year ago; however subject to change however often or whatever reason they want. +Their end user agreement spells it out.

    Mine is set up to use Notifier, with a second browser most often used exclusively for gmail. However notifier is sadly 'going by way of the dinosaur' by the end of this month, according to progess reports from Google.
    You may have to consider a different browser, and find the last applicable Adobe Flash player plugin for OS X 10.6.8. Safari is among five browsers in my Macs, however due to some being powerPC models, there are fewer great ones left and a few get upgrades. TenFourFox, Seamonkey-PPC, and iCab seem to be OK. However for my intel-based MacBook 13" (1.83GHz coreduo) with Leopard 10.5.8, there still is a working FireFox, a different version of Seamonkey that won't work on powerPC, & iCab that is universal. In Safari preferences, you can assign another browser as default to the system.
    So you could still use Gmail by web browser and on
    occasion save files to .zip archive, etc for offline.
    The link to Gmail help should be of service;
    or the support page for gmail for more info.
    Good luck &  happy computing!

  • Hi my mini ipad has locked me out and says connect to Itunes but it wont connect to it

    Hi my mini ipad has locked me out and says connect to Itunes but it wont connect to it

    Try:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT4623 My Iphone 4 has locked me out. Can see my homescreen but the slide will not open to keypad to unlock. Sometimes I can hit enough things where the keypad will show up but the password will not go in unless I hit each number twice. Strange boxes on s

    My Iphone 4 has locked me out. Homescreen will show up but cannot get slider to open keypad. SOmetimes if I tap enough things the key pad will display. When I enter the passcode it will not register. If I hit each passcode number twice it will register but then tells me I have the wrong code. I also have boxes and rectangles that appear to highlight items which never used to come up. Anyone have any experience with something like this?

    Wow! Its impressive for you to load iOS 4.2 onto the iPhone 4S. How did you do that?
    Moving along, press and hold both the power button and home button together for about 10 seconds. Then, press the power putton to turn it back on.

  • I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age.  How do I get the verfication email?

    I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age.  How do I get the verfication email?
    Should each person in my house have their own apple id and password?
    Can each of the different ID's be linked back to my apple account so that when they purchase apps and music it will be charged to my credit card?

    Ask Google... they locked you out of the email account.

  • I have a new email and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address

    i have a new email so have a new apple ID now and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address. help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • My iphone has locked me out....

    my iphone has locked me out but will still allow me to use siri, how do i get it to let me back in? Also the phone will not let me power off and the reset of holding the home and sleep button will not work...HELP please!!!

    Try reseting the phone, then connect it to Itunes and , Use "Help" run Diagnostics from the Itunes menu to check
    communication between the Phone and Itunes.
    If you are using a firewall such as Zone Alarm or similar check that it's no preventing communication between the Iphone and Itunes. Turn it off or if you can make sure that the correct communication ports are open.
    good luck

    hi I have forgotten my power on password and now Ipad has locked me out saying contact I tunes , I have tried doing this nbut it says i need pass code so basically going round in circles.

    Place your iPad into recovery mode, which will require restoring your iPad with iTunes which is required when forgetting the Passcode Lock.
