Account name and user folder don't match

Hi,
So I don't know how to change my 'User Folder' name to match my Account name.
The name of my user folder, 'sickjestrer4', was the Apple ID I entered when I first registered my Mac. And it became the name of the folder automatically.
My account name, however, is my real name, Jack XXXXX.
I want the two to match and both be called 'Jack XXXXX'.
I've tired a few things unsuccessfully and am turning here for some help.
I attached some links to a few photos that might help for clarity.

Any help would be appreciated.

Your username on your home folder is always taken from the short name. You can change the short name of your account by right clicking on the user within the accounts pane in System Preferences and selecting Advanced Options. However this is not a smart move. It can be a complicated and painstaking process moving all required aspects and settings to the new short named account.

Change account username and home folder issue

Hello guys,
Apple store re-installed Yosemite v10.10 on my MBA early 2014 (128gb, 4gb)
I wanted to change the account username and the home folder name after installation however I think I did it the wrong way to start with
Step1
I went into System Preference > User Groups, unlocked padlock, ctrl+click on the admin account > advanced options and replaced account name and home folder name with new name (e.g. my computer). Both match.
Relocked padlock, quit system preferences. Rebooted.
Step2
Then I realised that what I did, so I have did it all again after reading Change your OS X account name and home directory name - Apple Support
Could you please tell me whether step1 and step2 might have corrupted the operating system (e.g. legacy preferences, etc, etc)? How can I check that?
Thank you for your support.

Eric, thank you.
Actually Keychain access app has been malfuncitoning since Yosemite was installed and username and home folders were renamed.

the following services and apps keeps asking to use "Login" keychain

I always lock keychain. Keychain is sync with admin account password. Keychain verified and repaired. No problems found
I have followed this tutorial with no good result

Group Policy won't apply, No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

I am using Group Policy Preferences to remove users from the local admin group and add a local admin account. This GPO is working on 90% of the Win7 machines on the network, but three laptops are not accepting the GPO. I get the following error:

I've searched high and low for an answer and nothing I find on-line seems to apply. I also notice that the option to 'Run as Administrator' does not work. If I right-click on cmd.exe and select 'run as administrator', the command box opens but
I am not prompted for credentials and the command box does not have admin rights. Not sure if this is related or not.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
Delete your remove action from the GPP and push it again, does this issue still occur?
If it still exists, let’s collect the GPP log for analysis:
Group policy Preference debug logging policy settings are located under:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy
Click Logging and tracing, select local users and group preference logging and trace.
Meanwhile, just a similar issue, but it is worth trying:

Windows 8.1 "No mapping between account names and security IDs was done"

Hi,
A week ago, I had a problem with my laptop in which the explorer.exe was restarting itself, when I was trying to fix it, I ran the Sfc/scannow, and it turns out, there were some files broken, then, following the instructions here of how to replace the files
manually, I get to the Command prompt, and used the command "takeown", but when continued to the "icacls" command, it shows the message:
"No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. Successfully processed 0 files; Failed processing 1 files."
I didn't understand what was that, and in the page didn't said anything about that message, I thought that the explorer.exe problem also corrupted this solution, in the end, turns out, it was a third party program which was incorrectly un-installed, I fixed
and forget about the other problem, until today when I was trying to open Word, when it turns out, that Office was "installing", something that doesn't make sense as I already had it installed and worked on it in the past. But when it's close to
the finish, it shows, Error 1920, and that I don't have the requeriment grants, later looking on the internet, there was this "solution" (since I couldn't test it, I don't know if it works) saying that I have to user the command "icacls",
but any time that I try, it says "No mapping between accounts..." therefore, I couldn't solve it that way.
I don't know what exactly to do, since I don't understand exactly what I broke, hope you can help me, and thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your description, the current problem is your Office program.
If I am right, there is no any other problem on your system. It narrows down to the Microsoft Office program issue.
Please run with safe mode to troubleshoot:
1.Click WIN+R;
2.Type Winword.exe /safe;
3.Press Enter.
If the issue would be gone in safe mode, it indicates the issue is caused by add-ons, please disable the add-ons one by one to clarify which one is culprit.
If the issue still persists, go Office forum for further help:

Meanwhile, I would like to suggest you use System Restore to roll back to a previous time when everything worked fine.

Is there a tag in .joboptions ?
Goal: User click print button. In the background a pdf will be generated in e.g. "C:\myfolder\document.pdf".

I know that the query dialog for save as can be turned off. But the file name depends on the application.

Kindly suggest some solution.

I suggest that you post this question in a forum relevant to your operating system rather than a forum for Oracle Database management and usage questions.

Hi Baskaran,
For this issue, I think the main reason may be the original account is removed or changed from AD.
In the following there is an article about this to reset the service account, you can refer to it for more information:
http://edinkapic.blogspot.com/2009/10/moss-shared-services-provider.html
Additionally, as you already tried to reset the service accounts, you could try to clear SharePoint configuration caches in case the caches were not updated, to clear SharePoint configuration caches, you can see the below article:

No mapping between account IDs and security was done

I upgraded to Windows 8.1, it blew up my SQL Server Developer installation. So I traveled 400 miles to get my DVD and reinstall SQl Server. I saw on th eforum that several people had similar problems and they said selecting the repair option of the installation
would fix it. So I tried but I can't get past the "No mapping between account names and security IDs was done" error.
I suspected the login to be the issue from the beginning because the *&$%^$ Windows 8.1 update forced me to enter a new password as it didn't find my old one acceptable. Problem is, it didn't update it everywhere and I can't find where to change it for
SQL Server in this worthless version of an operating system.
I can't find the login for SQL Server in the the computer services anymore, it's gone from there. I used to be able to go in and manually start the service and change the password. But that great 8.1 update wiped all of that out and left me sitting high
and dry.
Does anyone know of a solution? I need to finish this project and my hands are tied at this point.

Unless you used your own Windows user as the service account for SQL Server, the password change should not matter.
You talk about "Computer services". The place where to make changes to the SQL Server services is the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
You say that the SQL Server installation blew up. Is SQL Server not running (you can check this in the Configuration Manager) at all, or is the problem that you cannot log in?
I was considering to update a small netbook that has Windows 8 to 8.1 the other day, but to get the "free" update, I was told to go the Microsoft Store. I did that the other day from my Surface RT and that was highly unpleasant as it hi-jacked
by user id and replaced with a Microsoft account. So I am not making that mistake again. I looked at getting Windows 8.1 from MSDN, but then decided it's not worth it for a machine I only use for vacation trips. (All machines that I use for serious work
do of course run Windows 7.)

After replacing a failed hard drive with new one I inadvertently created a different account name(home/user) than the one in the Time Machine backup. Now I cannot restore the photos in iPhoto. What are my options?

After replacing a failed hard drive with new one I inadvertently created a different account name(home/user) than the one in the Time Machine backup. Now I cannot restore the photos in iPhoto. What are my options?

The best thing to do would be to start over. Use Setup Assistant this time.
Boot into Recovery, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
Using Setup Assistant
Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

I got an iTunes account years ago with an ID and password...them later got a mobile me and password...now I have an iPad and downloaded iCloud and I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad because different account name and password from my mobile me.

I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad now that I have added iCloud. The problem is that my iTunes account has different name and password from my mobile me account. Can I change my iTunes account name and password so that they will transfer to my iPad with the mobile me / iCloud account? I need to figure out how to make the two accounts one or iCloud has to be able to accept my iTunes account with years of music and movies.

Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise. I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice. I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication. I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago. I'm not going to hold my breath. My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer. Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with. I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.

HT5517 I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about.

You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud. Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

From and/or subject don't match msg body

Hello all. Two weeks ago I posted this problem under a different head, but got no replies, so let me try again as it is messing up maybe 5% of my email.
Every morning I collect email--from 40 to 70 messages, many forwarded from Gmail--and message filtering usually works efficiently to transfer from Inbox to folders. But somewhere along the line, 1 to 3 emails get muddled together: the from and/or subject don't match the text, and sometimes the displayed text includes the Msg Source, including text, from some other, unrelated email.
I've been using FF and TB for more than 10 years now, and believe this kind of email muddling dates only to the last couple months. I use the latest Thunderbird under Windows 7 on a Dell desktop. I have 4 hopefully innocent addons. Of course I can send screenshots and forward the message source for analysis.
Hoping this time to attract attention to the problem! Thanks!

This is an indication of file corruption. Lack of maintenance on your email folders is the usual cause of this.
You can try to repair the file tables and see if that helps. Be prepared to lose messages if the corruption is too bad.
Right click the problem folder. Select Properties and then Repair Folder.
Then read this article about best practices to help prevent this in the future.

I re-formatted my pc and changed its name and user name. But after formatting firefox sync is not showing my previous bookmarks.

Hi guys i Formatted my pc and after formatting now firefox is not showing my previous bookmarks
I changed my computer name and user name
and i dont remember what was previous name of my computer

Did you reset the password of the Firefox account or did you still remember the password?
The new Sync version used in Firefox 29 and later still uses a Sync key to encrypt data locally before uploading, but this Sync key is generated internally from the password of your Firefox account, so you no longer need to worry about it.
This also means that the Sync key changes when you change (reset) the password of the Firefxo account and you lose all data stored on the Sync server when doing that.
