Admin account
I am the only user of my Mac Mini. Is it worth setting up a user account to use as well as the admin acct or should I just use the main admin acct?
Thanks
Steve
In some ways the answer depends on how serious you are about security. If you use your admin account and mistakenly do something you shouldn't, or the account is compromised and someone else uses it, the impact on your system could be significant. The same would not be true of a normal user account.
That said, the system will prompt you to enter your ID and password when you are doing something that affects the operating system or software, so unless you are in risk of another user gaining access to your password or access to the system while you're not there, using the admin user account isn't a serious issue.

Hello, I control a network of Macs remotely. There all new iMacs running OSX 10.6.5.
In the ARD list the computer displays ACCESS DENIED. I know the password, so I tried to verify it and no joy. I then tried to SSH in as admin and nothing. I then SSHd in as root and the admin account had gone, completely deleted. After re-creating the account and enabling ARD client all was back to normal. But please, why is this happening? This is the log from it:

How Do I create an Admin account?
Hi
This sounds silly but.... How do I set up an administrator account ?
I am using DW CS3 and ADDT and PHPMYADMIN
I can create a table with a level_user field and al the other usual fields
I can use the login wizard and / or the ADDT control panel to set and add user levels so I have added user and admin levels and I can figure out the rest I think but h I have read many tutorials and I still can't figure out how to create an admin account? I have thought I have to create a temp form with a level field just to upload my admin level into the user_level field in my database table, say level "1" and then creat another form with no user level field for users to upload their info and have their level set by the default value in the login wizard say level "2"
Does this sound like the correct way to go about thing?
Is there a better more logical way to do this?
I have asked this question in the nonrmal dreamweaver and I was told to
"Use a frontend like PHPMyAdmin to construct the db and set one of the account's user levels to something like "admin" instead of "y" or whatever and then filter on "admin."
I really don't understand this as I only want to set acces levels to one table so that I can delete records as administrator and so that noone else can access certain pages
Anyone got any ideas?
Any help would be more than helpful
Have a nice dayHi Charis,
I have asked this question in the nonrmal dreamweaver and I was told to
"Use a frontend like PHPMyAdmin to construct the db and set one of the account's user levels to something like "admin" instead of "y" or whatever and then filter on "admin."
folks in the regular DW forums don´t necessarily know how ADDT handles the "user levels", so here´s my suggestion:
a) create the ADDT "login" table with PhpMyAdmin, add one default record
(probably your own account) and set its "level_usr" column´s value to "1"
b) add this very column to ADDT´s array of session variables within the Control Panel and name it, say "kt_level"
I really don't understand this as I only want to set acces levels to one table so that I can delete records as administrator and so that noone else can access certain pages
once you have the additional session variable "kt_level" defined, you can always filter against this one -- for example...
a) in a "Show If Conditional Region"
(for hiding certain page elements)
b) in a "Restrict Access To Page" behaviour
(to prevent access to a whole page)
and then creat another form with no user level field for users to upload their info and have their level set by the default value in the login wizard say level "2"
that´s a good approach :-)
Cheers,

I can't login to admin account properly after installing Lion
It's been a week since I installed OS X Lion and everything was fine until a couple of days ago. When I was logging in to my account (an admin account), I could not get past the gray screen with the spinning rainbow wheel, or my desktop would show up but doesn't show any progress. I've already tried booting on Safe Mode and it worked, except that the audio input/output were disabled. I tried logging in to the other accounts and I didn't experience any problems. Please help me, I really don't know what I should do to fix and resolve this problem. Thanks in advance!
Hi rodeo21
Did you enable this particular admin account when you enable FileVault?
Have a look at STEP 2 on this page: http://www.macworld.com/article/1162999/complete_guide_to_filevault_2_in_lion.ht ml -
Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server - can't login with admin account
SO....i was having problems setting up network accounts from my mac Mini Server. I took it to the Apple Genius bar one night after work to get some help on why the login screen appears for Other..but could not login into any of the accounts I created.
They made an appt for me for the next morning since they had a "guy" that could help the next morning.
When I got there for my second appt..they said they don't support server issues. Only consumer products..I though the server WAS and i WAS a consumer of their products..so..they gave me a number of a consultant..of course..for pay...
So later that day I was trying some other configurations....the power came out while I was checking a monitor cable..and when I restarted I couldn't login to the master admin account.
Since mac mini server doesn't have a DVD drive..you have to boot up with their Server DVD from another computer and the Server installs it through airport.
So I did the boot up via airport from the server install DVD.
Did the Utility disk repair AND password changed. Got some error about not being to able to login if I don't change the keychains to the account.
Rebooted the server.
It didn't work.
So now stuck with a login window..and NO ACCESS to change anything.
HELP!!!!You can access to system with root account.
If you didn't enable before, boot from SLS DVD and activate from menu (after choose language).
After that, reset all the passwords (there is a menu to do that).
After that exit from installer and reboot.
At login screen you can try to login with your user and new/blank password.
If it fails, you have to login with user root and the password you choose before.
With root user, you can access to all system, be very carefull.
Now you can create a new user and import all the files (you have to do a little work with permissions)
I hope i help you! -
My MacBook Pro (mid-2010) suddenly stopped working when I was overseas, but I managed to fix it when I returned back to the States after I reformatted and erased the disk, then installed Yosemite. I lost most of my files but didn't really care, though I noticed that some pictures from iPhoto had survived and were in the Trash folder.
I thought I could copy/paste them back into iPhoto, but it wouldn't let me since they were still in the trash. I started getting an error message for EACH PICTURE saying it couldn't be copied because it was in the trash, and when I realized that I'd have to click "ok" 644 times (once for each picture), I tried to restart, then shut down, and eventually forced a shut down by holding down the power button. This is where the problem started...
After trying to startup again, I was able to login to my admin account, and the desktop image would load, but I'd get the spinning rainbow wheel and the computer would remain frozen like that from then on. I tried to repair the disk (there was nothing wrong), and even re-installed the operating system again, but still the problem persists. BUT, if I login with my guest account, everything works fine.
I'm guessing it has something to do with it somehow being frozen on those error messages for those 600+ pictures, but I have no idea how to fix/unfreeze it. Any tips or suggestions?mozak wrote:
Can the use of SATA3 instead of SATA2 hdd lead to some issues with my macbook?
I can try to find and buy new SATA2 sdd hdd but they are expensive and I'm not sure it will fix the restarting issue.
SATA3 is backwards compatible with SATA2. That is not likely to be your problem.
Based on what you have done, I suggest a reinstall of the OSX.

Access to Resources via Non-admin accounts
Is there any way to provide access to resources so that they are accessible via
non-admin accounts. For e.g. to Retrieve my JMSConnectionfactory i do a
Environment env = new Environment();
env.setProviderUrl(url);
env.setSecurityPrincipal(username);
env.setSecurityCredentials(password);
Context ctx = env.getInitialContext();
The username and password here is the admin account. This works fine but if i
use a non-admin account(member of Operators group), i get exceptions on Domainloghandler
runtime
Problem: I need to register a mbean that needs to access JMS Resources. Since
our deployment team doesnt want to provide us access to admin accounts, we use
a "operators" group account to register our mbeans. if i do this, i get a
Access not Allowed for subject:principals=[operator, Operators], on ResourceType:
DomainLogHandlerRuntime Action: execute Target: registerToMe.
This happens when my managed resource tries to access a JMS ConnectionFactory.
Instead if i register my mbeans using the admin account, everything is fine and
my managed resource works nice.
This is on weblogic 81 SP1 on Solaris. Please let me know if you need more details.
Any clues/hints/solutions greatly appreciated. There is not a lot of documentation
on how to access/register mbeans using non-admin accounts.
TIA
RajI have done some more debugging on this and have narrowed down the issue to the
location where my initialcontext is being obtained.
so if i register my mbean as a non-admin account and do an operation on the managed
resource which fetches initial context, i get the below exception. This is how
i get my initialcontext
weblogic.jndi.Environment env = new weblogic.jndi.Environment();
env.setProviderURL("t3://machine:8102,machine:8103");
env.setSecurityPrincipal("operator");
env.setSecurityCredentials("operator");
Context ctx = env.getInitialContext();
I am doing this from a mbean thats registered on a different managed server(t3://machine:8101)...
Whats wrong with this?
TIA

I've been operating under my admin account since I've owned a Mac, and in all that time I've always had two accounts, one the admin, the other named 'Test' as a clean user. In light of the new potential danger of future trojan's and such should I (and am I able to) switch the Admin powers over to the mostly unused Test account and make my main account into a daily user? Or am I stuck with this configuration w/out a complete erase and reinstall?
Thanks
TedYeah, geeze, we're getting ahead of the ball game here. These speculative precautions about viruses cause, as we see, more problems than they solve.
Instead of changing the way you work (and the way the OS is designed to work), don't mess with the user accounts. If you're the primary user of the computer, work in an admin account -- it's nothing like working as "root" (which is bad), and there are just too many occasions when you need to be an admin that working as a non-admin user is going to cause a big pain.
The only sensible precaution (in my opinion) is to back up your data. Retrospect Express and blank DVD-R won't cost you much, and they will protect against the myriad failure modes -- not just the unlikely case of a virus.
Once viruses become a problem inOS X (which, I agree, is inevitable), I have every confidence that Apple, Symantec, and lots of other companies will come up with good solutions. But, at the moment, the threat is slight, and so the demand is light, and therefore the products (and workarounds) are lousy. I don't think there's much virtue in being the first on your block to build a fallout shelter. -
Photoshop launches in Admin account but not in User account??
My 2007 Mac Pro is working fine. Just installed 10.6.7 on freshly wiped HD in Bay #2. Used the migration feature to bring over everything from drive in Bay #1 (which runs 10.5.8). After that: Photoshop CS5 will not launch (on either drive) under the regular user account. Throws 2 messages as follows: "Cannot find scratch disk because disk is unavailable." Then: "Cannot initialize because disk is unavailable."
But - just logged in on my Admin account on the Snow Leopard drive. I then tried (for the first time ever, I think) to launch PS CS5 just to see what would happen. The app launched normally!
This after:
1. using Adobe uninstaller to remove "original" install of PS CS5 from the Snow Leopard drive. Then reinstalling. (first reinstall of THREE). This did not work to make the app launch, still got above messages.
2. Ran permission repairs (I know - you don't have ta tell me.)
3. Ran DiskWarrior - applied new directory to both Leopard and Snow Leopard drives.
4. I then called Adobe support. Let the agent connect to my desktop from where he did another un-install & re-install using downloaded Adobe utility app. (A guy in India ran my Mac Pro in Michigan for 30 minutes while I sat there, entering Admin password when needed for the operations. Amazing.) He also performed Adobe diagnostics. All without success (on the User account).
After that, he gave up and arranged for a higher level agent to call me tomorrow (Wed. 4/13).
5. Adding: during the above Adobe effort, it came to me that I have too many versions of Photoshop. (I had CS, CS3, CS 4 and CS 5.) So - I systematically removed all versions except the original CS from both the Leopard and Snow Leopard drives. I used AppDelete for this removal, hoping to get all pref files, etc. I even deleted an old version of Acrobat - just because I no longer need it. Then I ran DiskWarrior again and used PreferentialTreatment to check for bad prefs: then again installed CS 5 again - on both drives. (Still working in my normal User account.)
6. Adding: all along, I had no trouble launching and using Photoshop Elements 8 on either drive. I had originally set the PSE scratch disk to my RAID storage drives (Bay #3 & #4). So I was sure by then that I had forgotten to apply the same designation for scratch disk of Photoshop CS5. This was the only variable or possibility I knew of at the time. Guessing: I had set CS 5 to use the drive I wiped clean for Snow Leopard and that's why it came up with: "drive not available."
Repeating: it was not until I logged into my Admin account on the Snow Leopard drive and found I could launch Photoshop from that account that I decided to check in here with my question:
Q. What is the remedy for having one account which won't allow launch for some (in this case, just ONE) apps?
Sorry to be long-winded: this was a major, day-long effort and I want to provide a complete picture of what was done to trouble shoot. Thanks in advance for any help.1. Standard procedure is to do all but a few operations from Standard User accounts: which I have always done. All software installations have been from my original Standard User account.
Actually, most people use their admin accounts for things like installs, and some apps may not be installable from a standard account or may not function properly there, unless they can authenticate to admin privileges to install things in places standard users don't have access.
several complete uninstalls followed by an equal number of reinstalls FROM the original CS 5 install disk made no difference: when in the Standard User account. CS 5 DOES work under the Admin account on the new Snow Leopard installation (on Bootable Drive #2).
That matches with my experiences with Photoshop Elements... it only works if you've got admin privileges, unless you figure out what items are inaccessible from a standard user account and change their permissions.
I'm sure most experienced users would say that sticking with a Regular User account for daily operations is best.
In reality, that's not as prevalent as it probably should be. In part, that may be because of other software that similarly doesn't run on a standard account. In addition, running on an admin account really isn't as much of a risk as it might seem. I finally gave up years ago on using a standard account, and have never had a problem as a result of using an admin account for day-to-day operations. The stuff you can least afford to lose - ie, your documents - you have full access rights to in a standard account anyway, making your data no safer. It's easier to bork the system in an admin account, but the system is easily replaced.
I have seen (here and elsewhere) that creating a new Reg User account is the remedy when something suddenly won't work
That is true, but it's not a magic wand. In this case, though, I don't think that's likely to help. You're welcome to try it, but I highly recommend doing so in a non-destructive way, so that you can easily switch back to your regular account if it doesn't work. -
Safari closes in my admin account each time I open it
Hi there everyone
I have a MacBook that i have had under 4 months. I have recentlt began to have trouble with it. It has begun to run slower than I remember and in Safari it stalled for a long time each time I would use it. Yesterday Safari within my admin account would close after 15 seconds or so and give me a error report saying that Safari had to unexpectadly close but everything else on my computer is ok.
I looked on the forum and saw other people problems. I got some good information from it and managed to set up another account in which Safari has worked fine. I need now to know how I can get Safari to work again in my admin account.
I have tried moving the folder from the HD to the desktop. It still crashes.
I have tried deleting the icon from my dock. It still crashes.
not sure what to do now. any advice please. I can post the error report next post if this will help.
ThanksHere is my error report. Please help. Thanks

Hello,
I'm having problems with my windows 8 laptop.
This afternoon I shut it down, and went to work. A few hours later when I came back home I noticed the little blue lights on the keyboard (showing me that the pc was charging and that my wifi is on) were still on. Normally these are off when the pc is turned
off.
I tried starting the laptop but nothing happened, the screen stayed black. I held down the 'on' button to force it to turn off, and turned it on again.
I then got a textmessage on the startup loading screen that there were problems with my C drive (only drive the laptop has), so it went to automatic repair.
*my laptop's language is set to Dutch so I'm translating everything :)*
It gave me 2 options:
1: Restart computer
2: Advanced options.
I tried option 1, didnt work ofcourse, it just restarted and I got back to this screen, so I checked what option 2 had to offer.
I got to a screen with 3 options:
1: Continue to windows 8
2: Solve Problems
3: Shut down
When I tried option 1 the computer just restarted and went back to the same screen.
When I tried option 3 it shut down as it should.
Option 2 gave me 3 other options:
1: Renew PC
2: Factory reset
3: advanced options
Option 1 just restarted my pc and took me back to screen 1.
Option 2 I havent tried yet, because it erases all of my files. This is a last resort.
Option 3 gave me 6 other options:
1: Systemrepair
2: Repair with installationcopy
3: Startuprepair
4: CMD
5: UEFI firmware settings
6. Startupsettings.
I can't use option 1,2,3,4 because I need to log in to an administratoraccount.
The bad part is: the laptop doesn't have an administratoraccount.
It was my parents laptop, and theyve set it up. I always assumed the account was an admin because
I had acces to everything and didn't need a password to run things as admin and such.
Turns out it isn't.
I get this message (translated) when I try to acces one of these:
'You have to log in as administrator to continue, but this pc doesn't have an administratoraccount'.
I can't believe microsoft added a check to see if the pc has an admin account on it, and even added a specific message to show when it doesn't, but they didnt add the option to just use these tools when there is no admin account present? What were they thinking!
Option 5 I havent tried yet, when I click it it says I have to restart to acces these settings, but I dont want to mess with something I know nothing about.
Option 6 gives me a few options like run the pc in safety mode, run windows repair and disable auto-restart after something has gone wrong with windows. But when I select one of these options it doesnt work. It just takes me back to auto repair. It just doesn't
doe anything.
There are no other options. Nothing I can do. My pc is stuck like this. The only thing I *might* be able to do is a factory reset, but I havent tried, and that could also just give me an error about me not being admin.
Some backstory of what I think caused this problem:
I believe the problems started a week ago, last friday.
I'm using a program called 'AVG TuneUp'. This program gave me a message telling me it was 3 months since it had checked my C drive for defects or anything. And it asked me if I wanted it to do so. Unknowing of the problems that would follow, I pressed 'ok'
(or whatever it was).
I had to restart my pc for it to begin, because it could only check the drive during startup. It went to 12% and stayed there for like half an hour, after which I decided to google (on my phone) if that was normal. It turned out that that option doesn't work
well with windows 8 and that lots of people's computers got ruined after using it. I stressed and I tried to shut it down, but since I was still in startup the only thing I could do was force the pc to shut down, so I held down the power button and it shut
down. I restarted and managed to abort the proces. The laptop started fine and everything worked.
A few days later a game/program I use called League of Legends started to act weird, because I could not log in on my account (for the game) anymore. Some error with IE settings, which I was unable to fix. For more info about that go to http://boards.eune.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/help-support-en/8Eoz315J-cant-log-in-to-lol-and-cant-log-in-to-steam-either-weird-coincidence.
Although I doubt it will help.
That forum post also contains a link to a post I made on the Steam forum about not being able to log into steam anymore. (Steam is another program I used). I wasn't able to log into steam anymore about 1-2 days after I wasn't able to log into LoL.
Also at the same time my Norton sortof stopped working. It showed up as active in my task manager and AVG TuneUp program manager, but it wasn't in my task bar and I couldnt acces the control panel.
Then yesterday I checked my pc for errors with AVG TuneUp's 1-click maintenance tool, and it told me my C drive was fragmented badly, so I defragmented it using the tool. Laptop still worked fine after that.
And then today I got the error on startup about my C drive having errors.
Long story shot: Problem is probably caused because I stopped the repair of my C drive with the avg tuneup tool before it was done, however its weird that I'm only experiencing (big) problems a week after that happened.
Hardware info:
It's a Samsung Ativ book 6 (google it for all the specs :) )
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
CPU: intel 3230M @ 2.60 gHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8850M
HDD: 1 TB S-ATAII hard disc
I've found this page:

But I don't really understand what the answering person is saying, and my laptop doesn't have a CD drive..
I really, REALLY hope someone can help me with this, because my laptop is basically 100% 'destroyed'.
Kind regards,
Christian CollaertHello,
Perhaps the operating system is incorrectly powering down or shifting the wireless adapter to a low power state in order to improve run time while on battery?
Try going into the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), locate the wireless adapter under the Network Adapters tree, view its Properties, and on the Power Management tab, disable (un-check) the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option.
Please let us know if that makes any difference (or not).
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

Multiple admin accounts, need to delete one of them ... what happens?
Ok, short story shorter - broke up with my GF and she has an account on my laptop.
She has saved all her stuff, so I'm not worried about loosing personal files/documents.
My question is though, what else may be lost that I should be careful of.
• Will programs be lost?
I installed Adobe Suite through her account, will that be removed as well? That's an application though, that I set for 'all users'.
• Will there be any change to system, or cause errors if that was the main Admin account?
By deleting an Admin that was in use 50% of the time, are there any system problems that may happen after I delete?
From what I remember, the system when I created another Admin account it just treated it as if someone just set up their MBP for the first time - ie. they seem to be completely independant.
Basically, I just want to make sure my experience (in my account) does not change once I've pressed the delete button.
Much thanks in advance.
-NTFWThanks andyBall_uk,
I can confirm that there are no files/data/passwords that I'm concerned about loosing on the account I want to delete.
*BUT, on the account I want to delete - I installed Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop.
These programs are usable on my account as well, I see them in my Application folder even though I only installed it once.
Are you saying it will delete Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop because it was installed on that Admin account?
Thanks very much for the help! -
Can I delete all files and users (including admin account) without re-installing SL?
I have a 1st generation Macbook Air, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Just bought myself a new MBA, want to sell the old one (privately, not soliciting here).
The original install disks were Leopard. I bought a family pack SL and upgraded the MBA at that point. Earlier this year I sold my old Mac Mini (when I upgraded) and included the SL install disks with that sale (stupid of me).
Now I want to sell the old MBA. Ideally, I'd have a clean install on SL on it, minus all previous files and accounts. I've done that before when selling old computers, reformatted / erased the HD, then reinstalled the OS. But I don't have the SL disk anymore, and I don't really want to pay for it just to prep this notebook for sale.
AFAICT, my options are:
wipe the HD and reinstall Leopard (the only OSX disks I have). Whoever buys it from me would need to upgrade to SL themselves, and from there to Lion if they want.
somehow try to delete all files and users without touching the current install of SL. I'm not terribly worried about security of what little information is on the MBA (nothing important to me), so I don't mind trashing files and then emptying trash instead of wiping the HD block by block.
Any ideas for how to do #2? I can trash all files/folders under /user, uninstall all applications and delete their folders from Library, uninstall all browsers except Safari and wipe the history from that...
Is there other stuff I should be deleting? plist files, maybe? I'm leery of messing around too much and disrupting the install of the underlying OS.
Can I also delete the admin account (or rename it "admin" with a generic default password?)?
Any other suggestions? Thanks.Trashing files you have created is relatively easy. Getting rid of an account is a bit harder. Trashing the .plist files, etc., that may contain personal info is a lot harder, and there is always the risk that you will miss something.
Best, and easiest, and customary, is to do option #1 - wipe the drive and re-install the original OS from the original disk set. The receiver of the machine can then decide which OS they want to upgrade it to, and purchse accordingly.
The original disk set for that machine should be included with it when it is sold. -
Separate user accounts after already used 2 ipod nanos in admin account
My daughter purchased a nano a month ago and we downloaded the software. (Note: The kids already had their own user accounts before I downloaded the software.) When she set up her music in the library and plugged her ipod in she was in my admin account. This week my son purchased his own nano and I couldn't figure out how to get them separate libraries, so we had them do separate playlist, but that was kind of a pain. I checked the discussions and found out that if they had separate user accounts they could have separate libraries. I asked someone about how to be able to set up separate iTunes libraries for each person and they said to open iTunes in their accounts and make sure that their libraries are directed to different files (i.e., each of their names) which they were. After they downloaded all their music they wanted in their separate libraries, they plugged their ipod into the USB, but it didn't recognize it. The ipod category in the source file does not show up and the ipod button that usually shows up in the bottom right hand corner doesn't even show up. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the ipods to recognize their new accounts in the separate user accounts?
Easiest is prob to restart the PC and log on as one kid, update one iPod.
Then totally log off that account and log on as the other kid, update other iPod.
There is a program, iTunesHelper.exe that runs in the background. It has to be running under the userID trying to update the iPod.
You can see what I mean if you go to Task Manager
(ctl-alt-del in case you don't know)
Click on the Process tab
Click on the imageName column to sort alphabetically
Make sure to check show processes from all users.
If iTunesHelper.exe is running under Kid1 account, then Kid2 account cannot update iPod.
It all goes back to iTunes not supporting fast user switching....prob more than you wanted to know!
Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported -
I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??
Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

FileVault 2 failure - more than one admin account
New rMBP 15" with 10.8.2, used Migration Assistant from a 10.6.8 boot. Very happy with it, and have been using it for a few days.
Decided to enable filevault 2 to encrypt my boot drive. I enabled it, rebooted, and then went back to the Security & Privacy system preferences to check the progress, which was stuck with an intdeterminate progress bar. Waited 30 minutes, no change. Hmmm.
Console.log showed continual error message, such as :"11/9/12 6:56:40.155 PM System Preferences[638]: *** -[DMManager conversionProgressForLogicalVolumeDisk:] returned an error; error: -69808 (-[SecurityFDEController _checkFDEEncryptionStatusTimer:])"
Turns out, I had two admin accounts on this computer, and I had only authorized one of them to unlock the filevault encryption.
I clicked the button to authorize the 2nd account, and after that the encryption process started working.
Not very user friendly...posting this in case it helps others...Welcome to the discussions. If iWeb's menus are greyed out, the following trick has worked for some:
In the user account which does not let you start a new page, save, etc. — Quit iWeb. Start iPhoto. Select a couple of photos, click on the iWeb icon at lower right and choose Photo Page. iWeb will open up and invite you to choose a template for your new Photos page. Choose any template so that the page is created and then delete that newly created page.
...Now perhaps things are no longer greyed out in iWeb.
