About user accounts

Hello,
My account got suspended last month and when I chatted with the support they said they will investigate the issue and also mentioned that I could have shared my account with others, but actually investigate the issue and also mentioned that I could have shared my account with others, but actually I'm the only one who was using it. I told them that I have not shared with anyone, but they said they cannot see any details as they are restricted to see all details from system as my account is blocked by their security system.security system.
As I have connected my account with Microsoft account and using it with my windows 8Microsoft account and using it with my windows xp, I need my account to be re-activated it as early as possible.

Question about user accounts

Setting up new mini with 10.6 installed. This is my second Mac, current system is eMac with 10.3. All files/media I want to save are backed up on ext. HD.
This time I want to set up an Administrator Acct. and another User Acct. (without Admin. access) for routine use. Did not know enough to do that the first time.
But, I want access to all the old files without ownership/privileges problems.
As I understand it, I can make the user acct. names the same as the names on my acct. on the old system and there should not be any problem? I have a reason for wanting to not do this, but certainly can and probably will, if that will work.
To help me understand all this, is the "short name" the real account name/identifier? In other words, can I make the user name anything I want as long as the "short name" is the same?

The info you have given has thrown me for a loop. As I stated in my reply to Scott I am really having trouble understanding this whole account/file ownership issue, although I thought I had it figured out and was seeking verification.
Regarding your info about copying files from an external drive, how/why does "ignore ownership on this drive" work?
"ignore ownership" makes all files on the external read+write by any user so there are no issues with permissions.
Did a lot of research on several Mac help sites before posting here. A common problem seems to be someone wanting/needing to change account name(s) on a system they will continue to use. Common advice given is:
Create new account.
Copy/transfer files to new account.
Remove/delete old account.
How/why does that work without file ownership/permissions being a problem?
most files have read permissions by everybody when created so copying them from one account to another is not a problem. please read up on the basic permissions structure
http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml
I understand that the real UID is a numeric code. How does the system arrive at that code?
the very first user account created on any mac has UID 501 by default. the next one 502 and so on.
It seems to me if I use the same, exact, account name(s), file ownership would not be an issue.
that's completely wrong. same account name doesn't help in any way at all. same user ID is what's checked.
for example when you create a file on an external drive and then move that drive to another computer if you access it from an account with the same user ID by a different user name it will show you as the owner.

Question about User Accounts and bugs

Hello!
I'm a developer and just started this iPhone app project so I'm not really experienced with all this cocoa/Mac/iPhone world yet.
The thing is: I'm having this crash on the app running on the simulator, but this ONLY happens with my main user account. Doesn't happen on the device, on another account on the same computer or my coworkers computers.
I haven't found what's causing this, so I'm thinking about deleting my account and recreating it.
Is deleting an user account like formatting it?
Is there anything that I could try before deleting it? Like restoring permissions or the OS with the dvd... These are things that I read about Mac Support.
Any ideas?

roam wrote:

No, deleting it removes it. Like, put in the trash and then empty it.
Importantly you should create a new user account with Admin privileges and from that new account delete the older one. Doing it this way still leaves you with Admin control of your computer.
Before you delete an account... as to your particular problem, there are particular forums concerned with application development. Click on the link below for more specialized forums regarding iPhone app development and your coding error.
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=164
Yeah, I created another account with Admin privileges, I'm just reluctant to the idea of having to config everything again in the new account. I tried Stack Overflow and iPhoneDevSDK, will try the Apple's forum now.
Thanks mate.

Question About User Accounts and Applications!

I just want to know how the user accounts work. I want to free up extra space on my macbook pro and want to know if the application install twice once into my account and once in the guest account?
Thanks

No, applications go in the Applications folder at the root of your drive, not in the user folder. User folders only store your data (documents, photos, music, settings files, etc).

Appstore confused about user account

I have been using Itunes and the Appstore for some time with my one and only Apple store account. This week I moved to california, plugged my laptop into my same router as usual, but connected to new comcast modem here in california, everything else exactly the same. Suddenly Itunes is having problems and AppStore is having problems. They can both display my account info and histories, but when I try to download updates I get an error dialog box that says I purchased such-n-such item from a different Apple Store Account. ***?
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this, but as of now I can't update some programs i used. Itunes has also been having problems downloading podcasts I subscribe to as well.
Anyone have any idea what is up?

Do another search of the forum and look for difference between customer exits and user exits (or something like it). Somewhere on SDN is a thread (haven't been able to find it) the difference is explained in detail.
This is what is said on help.sap.com:
User exits allow you to add additional functions to the SAP standard.
Programs with user exits contain subroutine calls at certain points in their syntax that are identified by the prefix USEREXIT. The actual user exits are located in an include that has been assigned to a module pool. This is where customers can include any changes (enhancements) that they want to make to the system. These includes are always processed during program flow.
Also on help.sap.com something about customer exits:

Repaired MacBook Pro - Question about User Account being copied

On Wednesday, my MBP was ready to be picked up at the Apple Store. They told me it was basically everything inside that caused my display to not function and it would have cost me over 1700 dollars without AppleCare, so that made me happy. They also said they heard weird noises coming from my hard drive so they gave me a new one as well. Some applications needed to be installed but I was told that all of my documents are on this machine. They copied over my User folder. I didn't really care that I lost my Windows partition but it would have been nice to know before they just deleted it..
Anyway, I got home and turned on my machine. It said I only had about 20 gigs left of storage. Wait a minute... This had to be wrong because thats the space I had on my previous computer WITH the Windows partition. After a little researching, I saw that in my Users folder there was another folder called "DELETED USERS." When I opened it, I saw my documents and music files. I thought it was where they put my old data from my other drive but it wasn't. There was another folder in "Users" with my name and data. It seems like they copied it twice or something. I was just wondering if it's okay to delete this data.

yes, it's quite ok to delete that folder. First make sure that everything was indeed copied to your main user folder and if it is, delete "Deleted Users".

Trying to set up 2 user accounts on 1 computer?

Just got a new 80g ipod for my birthday yesterday, my wife has a 4g nano that is already installed ont this computer, how do I add a second user acct to the same computer?? I checked a couple of sites that told me to "hold down the shift key" also do I need to download the program again??
thanks
marty

Marty,
First off, you can both use your iPods on the same account if you want to. You can set up your iPod and her iPod to sync the same thing or different things off the same library. For example, you might have your 80GB iPod sync the entire thing, where as your wife might have a Smart Playlist, that limits the size to under 4GB to sync to her iPod.
But if you want to set up anothe XP account, please use the Start -> Help option on your computer to read up about user accounts. That sort of instruction is beyond the scope of this group.
Here is some additional helpful Apple articles. Enjoy!

User accounts corrupted - how to fix

So my Mac locked up the other day when the babysitter decided to put it to sleep. The fan was on full and it was unresponsive. I force-powered it off and then on again. When it came back, almost everything was fine except for my wife's account. It had switched to sort of my son's account. What I mean is that my son is running the restricted finder, and when my wife logged in, it was using the restricted finder and the "My Applications" folders, etc. were pointing to my son's directories. Everything else was normal, so when you select full finder, it's running from my wife's account (has her desktop files, etc.), but the dock was still the messed up one. Going into Accounts as me, it shows her as an admin and doesn't show that she is running the restricted finder.
I'm quite comfortable with Unix sys admin activities, but OS-X doesn't run things the same way as normal Unix systems. Can anybody help me figure out what's gotten messed up and how to fix?
Thanks.

With a full or otherwise marginalized hard disk drive with possible damages
to files or directory (or corruption, lost data, or files lost due to meddling) the
advice to make a full backup of the computer's contents to an external HDD
in a suitable enclosure for use with your computer, is the best first step to
not loose any more data. Clone utilities help do this while retaining what is
left of the correct and original file structure which would be otherwise lost.
For other ideas about user accounts and their place in OS X systems, you
can take a look at how they work and how the topic is addressed in these
selected web page links. User accounts are the basis of keeping a system
secure and help keep the contents organized and protected. If someone
who has no business in an Admin account had this access, they could be
responsible for a considerable degree of damage. And the blame does not
necessarily fall on the last person to unknowingly mess it up. The owner
has to be accountable for learning how to best protect their investment and
the contents of the computer, and other users, from loss or harm.

These links cover OS X in general, and the newer more common later ones.
Some of the ideas and processes can be applied, and knowing how the
basics work, should help in looking for more applicable information for 10.3.9.
To take charge of security and account management when more than one
person uses a computer (or even just one admin-owner account user) is a
preventative action. The later OS X systems are even more elaborately made
and there are some very in-depth articles and documents for management of
system accounts, user access, security and so on, for Leopard. These are
often pro-level documents and some of them are 3MB downloads.
In the meantime, damage control requires a different path be taken to recover
from the problems at hand; while looking into how to prevent them.
{Do you have a backup computer?}
Good luck & happy computing!

I have three user accounts on one computer. On only one account when I when I check Help - About fire fox only one user account says apply update and won't apply. The other two work fine.

One of three user accounts on the same computer appears to not be updating to 8.0.1 correctly. One admin and one none admin user account says it is up-to-date. The other non-admin user account, under Help About Firefox says apply update, but won't.

As long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications. There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
Each user account is able to run the Office apps. The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder).

Questions about Mobile User accounts

I'm having some trouble fully grasping Mobile User accounts and hoping someone could clarify whether they would be appropriate in my situation.
We have some non-"mobile" users that solely use one machine and we would like them to continue to use their local hard drives. Is a "Mobile" account the solution?
Second, if a user is already using an independent Mac that is not bound to any server..is it possible to bind it, create a mobile account, then sync local with network home folders such that all of the current data in their existing Home folder is added to the Network Home folder? or must the account be started from scratch?
Lastly, What if we did not want all that data synched to the Network Home because there is simply too much of it. Can we still enjoy the benefits of Network login while certain files are local (I assume this is what the synching prefs are all about?!?) Users use same machine for 99% of their work. only occasionally would it be nice to provide them access to their mail, etc from a different client
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I'll take some broad swipes at this and let the smarter people come fill in the details.
We have a true 1:1 setup in our office and have moved to PHDs as a means of protecting against downtime. The thinking is that we will have a spare machine lying around with our base installation ready to go. If a user's machine fails we'll replace it with the spare machine, let it sync the user directory from the server, and we're back in business. It's no substitute for a real backup system, but it potentially avoids having to run a restore from your backups. It also reduces network traffic compared to plain networked homes, and still lets your users work if the server goes down, but provides the benefits of centralized management. John DeTroye wrote a nice article about this.
If you've already got data on your "client" Mac you will need to move it onto the server. PHDs will download data from the server to the client on the first sync, but will not upload a complete home directory from the client to an empty directory on the server. You'll find some posts in this forum discussing how people have gone about migrating data prior to that first sync.
WGM allows you to establish exclusions for stuff you don't want to sync.
One thing to watch out for in the scenario you describe is the so-called "rabbit effect." Assume Bob uses Mac1 as his primary machine. If one day he logs into Mac2 his home directory will be downloaded to Mac2. Once he returns to Mac1 he'll still be cluttering up Mac2 with his data. If he logs into Mac3 the next day and Tom and Sue are also periodically logging into different machines, you can see how you'll end up with a mess pretty quickly.
Hope this helps.

When i go to about this mac and look at my storage it says that i have 33GB of music. i recently deleted 2 user accounts but can't find any of these files. Where do i go to delete these files?

when i go to about this mac and look at my storage it says that i have 33GB of music. i recently deleted 2 user accounts but can't find any of these files. Where do i go to delete these files?

What are you asking? Where music is stored or where the user accounts were stored?
Music should be in the music folder - perhaps inside of an iTunes folder.
User accounts should be on the home directory.

Is there any information about using iCloud on a Mac with multiple user accounts (Mountain Lion)

When upgrading to Mountain Lion, you are asked to sign in using your iCloud ID. I don't understand how to set up the proper synching of "stuff" if your Mac has multiple user accounts, and they each have their own iCloud ID.
The whole issue of supporting multiple users on a Mac and making everything easy to understand with regard to iTunes and iCloud is, in my opinion, currently in a state of disaster. Apple needs to address this. They have conveniently made it a non-issue on iPads by not allowing multiple users. I can tell you that as one of the resident iOS and Apple experts in my office, most of the questions I get from others (not work-related) are on this topic. It needs to be easier to understand and accomplish.
Thanks in advance for any information you have on this subject.

Question about using VMware Fusion with mutiple user accounts on the mac

I know this isn't a Fusion forum as such, but wondered if anyone knew the answer to this problem. I installed the latest version of fusion on my machine and a copy of windows XP. It's very good and am impressed with the ease and speed of it. However, I am the administrator and my 3 children have user accounts on the same computer. When my son logs in to his user account and starts up Fusion to do some homework on a windows only program, there isn't a virtual machine to start up. Does this mean that using fusion I can only use one mac user account? Or can I move the windows folder to a location for all to use, or is there a setting that I need to alter in Fusion? Perhaps I need to install windows again on his account. If so will this cause other potential problems and unnecessarily hog hard drive space. I would prefer fusion to boot camp because I need both windows and mac at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you ask the VMware Community?
My guess is yes, you need to put it in a Public folder or outside your account. XP doesn't take a lot of disk space, so maybe they should have their own (but then you need another copy/license).
You may need to edit one of the prefs files pointing to the image, unless an alias or symbolic link will do.
VirtualBox is free VM and is probably more than able to handle their needs.
Probably need / want to create a new Windows user account while you are at it.
