Admin doesn't show up at login

When I turn on my macbook, the login window keeps telling me to type my name and my password. When I click "back", my admin username is not there and the only thing it shows is the "Other..." account. I have the display login window checked as "list of users" under Login Options, and the root account is disabled, but no matter what, it only shows "Other..." and makes me type in my admin username and password. How can I fix this?

Try going to System Preferences > Accounts and at the bottom, click Login Options. Set Display Login Window as a list.

HT204266 changed email but doesn't show up to login on ipad so I can't update apps

changed email but doesn't show up to login on ipad so I can't update apps. Any solution?

As long as you didn't create a new ID and merely changed the email address that you use for your Apple ID - go to Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with the changed ID.
If you created a new ID, you need to continue to use the old ID in order to update apps since purchases are always tied to the ID used to make the purchase.

Server Admin Doesn't show info for Software Update Service

In server admin, under the settings and available updates, I see a list of available updates, but they are labelled with the hash code for the update, not the name, and the info panel doesn't show any information like it should. We have our corporate firewall configured to allow connections to the server apple uses for this service so that we can get the updates. Any suggestions?

That option is only available after upgrading to iOS 5. It appears you have a 2nd generation unit, which can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

Server Admin doesn't show Print Queue status

When I look at my print queues (all 17) under Server Admin, it shows queue name, # of jobs, shared via (IPP & SMB), and printer kind (HP LJ 1022n and HP LJ P2015). It has a column for status, but this is always 100% empty/blank. Also, if I go to the Jobs tab, then I can pick "Jobs on Queue" for all the queues, but the line below for "Queue Status" is again always blank.
Is there something I can do to get this info to show up in Server Admin? I know that CUPS knows the printer status, as I can go to localhost:631 and see the status in the Printers list and the Jobs list.
It isn't life threatening. It is just annoying to have to go to the web page when Server Admin -almost- gets me everything I need to diagnose a teacher's printing problem remotely.

Hi Keith
You could always consult the Print Service logs. If you set the logging levels to Debug or Debug2 you should get everything. You have to be a bit careful with this as the log can get quite large. Other than that I don’t know of anything that is available out of the box.
There may be others that can suggest a 3rd party solution that gives you the appropriate feedback you are looking for. Opening port 631 should not be that much of risk I would have thought?

XSan 1.3 Admin doesn't can't start/stop working volume

HI - XSan 1.3, OS X Server 10.4.7
XSan admin doesn't show my Volume as running, and thus cannot start it or stop it. However, it is running fine.
I'm needing to add a new LUN, and in the process of trying to add it, I realized that the Main Controller does not appear in the computer list (nor do any computers). But again, everything is running fine. When I look at the logs, they point to the name of the controller and show the proper logs from that machine.
This started on 1.2 and continued in the same manner after upgrading to 1.3. Its making adding this new LUN pretty difficult -- anybody have any ideas?

So, if I click on the SAN in Xsan admin, I can see
the info, but when I try to view or manipulate the
volume, everythings blank or unusable. Things seem
to be OK when I use cvadmin (so far, anyways).
Any ideas?
clearly I am a bit late with this, but I created this scenario today by accident and it may be of use to other people reading the forum.
I set up the MDC with the metadata IP address as 10.0.0.2 on ethernet 1. After the 10.4.7 update I decided I wanted the metadata on the ethernet 2 connection. So I changed it. This caused the problem exactly as described here. The SAN was running, the volume mounted but the MDC1 was missing from the computers tab in XSAN admin and when I put the 10.0.0.2 IP address back on ethernet 1 and rebooted the MDC all was well again. Odd.

I downloaded pages from the app store and I can use it on my Mac login but it doesn't show up when my wife logs in to her account? Were using the same computer, just different logins.

No. You need to buy it for your Apple ID and for the other. You will have problems with updates

Logging into 'Other' (Server) login doesn't show though bind does

Working on an OS 10.5.6 Advanced server that was set and users were only using AFP, but no DNS and Open Directory. So carefully went through and set these up.The standard testing 'checkhost' and all, shows DNS is working correctly. Client computers had the DNS pointer changed and went through Dirctory Utility and did the binding. Server indicates these computers are bound. One of four client computers works as expected, "Other" shows as a login choice and can log into the server. All the different client accounts work throught this station. Three computers show as Bind being setup, but the "Other" login simply doesn't appear. All but one are running 10.5.6, with one computer running 10.4.11. All three computers that show as bound, can sign in via Go > to the AFP share(s) just fine, only the server/network login doesn't appear. Have checked everything we can think of and need further suggestions on how to resolve this issue? - Lewis

LDAP is indeed listed and home folders have been created in an Auto-Mount directory. Everything appears just like the computers on this network that are binding OK and show an "Other" login. Now I have noticed one thing... every so often when I open Directory Utility - it shows the staus as "nonresponding" with a red dot. If I hit "Connect" it changes to a green OK dot, but upon logout/login the "Other" is still not a choice. Ran Disk Repair, Repair Permissions, re-ran the combo updater of the current system - 10.5.6. Ran the unbind on the computer and removed computer from Workgroup manager... still no joy. Just do not see a way to get a reliable Bind and network login? Bind seems to be happening... but "Other" as a network login just doesn't show.

Login window doesn't show up after installing

So I downloaded all the updated released yesterday, including 10.5.2 combo update, Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 & iLifeSupport 8.2. Then I installed them all, restarted my Mac just fine. However, after I installed Application Enhancer & logged out, the login window couldn't show up ever since.
Then I tried the following solutions:
1 startup in single-user mode, fully mounted the boot volume, removed /Library/Application Enhancers & /Library/Preferences/Application Enhancer.prefPane ; then I tried to reboot, login window didn't show up.
2 startup in single-user mode again, fully mounted the boot volume, used the following command:
mv /Library/StartupItems StartupItemsOld
mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist preferenceOld
mv /Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist loginwindowOld
mv /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService DirectoryServiceOld
rebooted again, login window still doesn't show up.
So if anyone could help me out, Thank you very very much!
also, I found two strange files in the root directory: mach_kernel, mach_kernel.ctfsys. What are this two files for?

Sounds like you need to run the repair disk routine on the installation disk's version of Disk Utility. Failing that, you could try going into single user mode on startup. Restart the Mac while holding both CMD & S. When you see the code screen and prompt >, type *fsck -fy* (note the space after the k) then hit return. Hopefully things get repaired. Once complete type reboot and hit return

Custom logo doesn't show up in Admin.jspx

All,
Uploaded a custom logo graphic file to the $OIM_HOME/server/apps/oim.ear/iam-consoles-faces.war/images folder.
Made the following changes to Admin.jspx
1. Below <af:document title.....> line

<af:resource type="css">
.TnsSsoCustomBrandingLogo {
background-image:url('/oim/images/TNS-black-square-logo.gif');
background-position:center;
</af:resource>

2. under <af:pageTemplate>....IdmShell.jspx....> line
<f:attribute name="brandingLogoCls" value="TnsSsoCustomBrandingLogo"/>
Cleared cache under tmp folder.
Logo Image doesn't show up. Any ideas why this is happening? Is there anything that i am not doing correctly.
Thanks in advance.

appears to be a stylesheet class issue. Added height width specs and background-no-repeat attributes to the class and image showed up correctly.

Airport Admin Utility Doesn't Show Basestation

I just moved, and neither my Airport Extreme or Airport Express show up in the Airport Admin Utility even though they both appear under the Airport menu bar pull-down menu. I've done hard resets for both with to no effect.

Well MY base station doesn't show up at all no matter what I do...
I had my network running just fine and then one day it jsut stopped working. Try as I might, I couldn't connect to the Base Station to change or even see what was wrong.
I thought that it was my base station since it was old and had a lot of hours on it, so I got another one.
Now, out of the box it still won't show up on either Airport Admin or Setup Assistant. The Network is there, but the base station doesn't come up. I've done a soft restart a number of times, unplugged it and let it sit before trying again and even restarted my computer as well with no luck. My computer works fine wirelessly and I can connect to networks without a problem.
What's Up?!

Old IMAC with 10.5.6 OSX. Forgot Administrator password. Started up from OSX install disc 1 and selected password reset from utilies in Installer. But HD icon doesn't show up. (Only install disc and admin root available:no good). What can I do?

Old IMAC with 10.5.6 OSX. Forgot Administrator password (which I had already changed.) Followed instructions as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
Started up from the original OSX install disc 1 and selected "Password reset" from "utilies" in Installer. But HD icon doesn't show up. (Only install disc and admin root available:no good as the support website underscores: Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually the root user. You should not confuse it with a normal administrator account.).
What can I do?
Thanks for your suggestions. Antonio

Not familiar with that version of OS X but try using Terminal and type in resetpassword. If that brings up a password reset screen is your original username shown?

Open Mail app and then click on Mailboxes(Left up)>Go down and select your Hotmail acoount and then try Refreshing by pulling down the list.

Login Window doesn't show all account

Hi all folks,
I migrate an old OS X Leopard with some Accounts to OS X Yosemite but the Login Window doesn't show all Accounts.
And the Guest Account and the Other Account icon is outside the screen.
Any idea how to order the Accounts in the Login Window, it seems to be the Login Window can't handle more than five Accounts.
Thanks for any suggestion,
Lutz

Hi again,
Thanks for your reply.
I have done the unbind and performed the bind operation again, but its still happening. I have now put a second system in and its doing it on that one too.
I was wonding if there is some way of making sure that Samba is fully started before the login window appears.
Thanks,
Andrew McCall
