Admin privileges not working on installs

With a new internal HD, I have had to reinstall my OS10.4 and have been in the process of installing all my software. These are all programs I had previously installed without a glitch. I installed several things, then, suddenly, get errors, saying I do not have enough privilege for the operation. In case it matters, they are Adobe GoLive, Illustrator, LiveMotion, etc. I successfully, installed Photoshop and Acrobat before the problem arose.
I am set as administrator and am the only user on this machine. I have looked at all the articles I can find and should have the correct permissions. I used Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions. It says all is well, but still can't install.
Can anyone please help?

I had almost the exact same problem you are experiencing.
First, i ran the permissions verify then repair, i did that twice. Afterwards, I forced restarted finder then i could modify my own admin privlages.
Specifically for me, the problem was that I could not modify the root directory. I couldn't even add a folder or delete from the trash. The steps outlined above seemed to fix the problem.
I hope you have the same success I just had.
Best,
E

Admin privileges not working

I am running into an issue sometimes when I try to run set up assistants or install certain software.
I receive an error message that I must have admin privileges to configure a device. I only have one user account set up on my computer and it is the admin account. My computer is never used by anyone else and I find swapping from a regular user to an admin user to be a hassle, so I just use the one account for everything.
I followed the steps to enable root on Lion.
I checked the permissions on my HD using disk utility and when it found errors I repaired them.
I set the read/write privileges on my HD to read-only and then RESET them back to read/write.
Can someone tell me what the heck else I need to do to fix this issue. I'm fairly savvy and don't mind digging into some of the deeper nitty gritty if need be. I simply want it fixed.

I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.
I hope I helped
thanks

Visual admin tool not working

hii guys,
in my netweaver system visula admin tool not working .when ever im trying to connect with user id and password its showing like this.how can i solve this issue.plz help me

Hi,
Try to login to system info page with administrator or j2ee_admin for java and dual stack respectively to check if the password is correct.
If the password is incorrect, then check if you have any alternate admin ID. Change the administrator or j2ee_admin password, then try to login with the new password. Change the password of SDM and securestore to the new one.
If this is not the case, then check the log files in visual admin directory. Please post the same.
Cheers...,

Edit Template in Dynamic Conversion Admin is not working

Latest oracle UCM 10gR3 is installed with patches and Site Studio 1ogR4 on windows XP and it is running fine.
When I click on "Edit Template" button after selecting a template in Oracle Content Server >> Administration >> Dynamic Converter Admin >> Edit template nothing happens and no error message is displayed. Some times a dialog pops up with message "preparing to install template editor..". The first time I clicked on this "Edit Template" button, it has installed "Template Editor 10gR3(10.1.3.4.1) version 9.0.0" successfully and it is there in program files.
I find that Dynamic Conversion is working fine by checking in a word doc and it generates HTML. I tried this on IE6 and IE8 on two different UCM installation by enabling IE to run all ActiveX and Javascript but it did not work on either. I am logged on as admin user.
What could be the issue and how to resolve?

Hi
Check Note.941978.1 to see the possible cause of the issue and also the workaround for the same.

Oracle ses Admin password not working

Hi,
The ip address of my machine has changed. So, the admin and search pages were not opening up since they have old ip address.
So I went to the files and changed all the occurences of old ip with new one. I was not able to change it in .dbf and .lock files.
After that, when I try to login through admin page, the password is not working.
Getting "Login failed. Check the log file for more information." Which log file to check for?
Please suggest some workaround.
Thanks,
Shyamala

The log file is the oc4j log file in $SES_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_SEARCH/log. See more info here.
Is this Windows? Before installation, you should have set up a loopback network adapter, as per the install guide. The setup would then have been immune to changes in IP address.
If the server name is hard coded into the various config files, it's easy enough to add an entry to the HOSTS file.
For example have a look in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\listener.ora. You might find a line
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = DHCP_HOST_12345)(PORT = 1521))
This means the machines host name was supplied by DHCP and is no longer valid. If so simply make an entry in your hosts file
(C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts or /etc/hosts) which looks like
127.0.0.1 dhcp_host_12345
That will force it to loop back to the local machine for all references to dhcp_host_12345
If you've actually got hard-coded IP addresses in the config file, things are a little harder. See what's in the oc4j log file and I might be able to suggest how to continue.

Manufacturing-admin still not working

Hi everyone!
I had no problem in getting SQL Trace up and running on my local Netweaver instance. However now I'm stuck getting SQL Trace running on our test machine. I followed the instructions given in the respective documents as well as the ones given in thread [http://localhost:50000/manufacturing-admin/ not working |http://localhost:50000/manufacturing-admin/ not working ] - yet it won't work. In ICM Monitor the status of HTTPS protocol is inactive.
What might I be missing? Thanks for hints on solving this issue.

Hi Juliane,
There are a lot of SAP Cryptographic libraries available from Service Marketplace, but it's tricky to find them:
1. Login to the Service Marketplace
2. Navigate to Software Downloads - > Installations and Upgrades
3. In the download catalog find the link SAP Cryptographic Software
4. Click the same link once again and in the popup window agree to the terms
5. Browse the list of all available cryptographic libraries and download the one suitable for you software/hardware config
There are just three different libraries for Microsoft Windows:
1. SAP Cryptographic Library Microsoft Win32 for x86/IA32 3342 08/06/2010
2. SAP Cryptographic Library Microsoft Win64 for IA64 (Itanium) 3342 08/06/2010
3. SAP Cryptographic Library Microsoft Windows 2003 for x86_64 3342 08/06/2010
You probably need the first one
Let us know if it helps
Good luck
Ivan

OBS not working after Installation

Hi All,
I am having a had time to make OSB 10.3.0.3 x64 working on my Dell 1850 x64 machine with Windcows Server 2008 x64 on it.
OK, I've done is:
I do have a SCSI card attached to this server and a tape drive. All system is up to date with all latest drivers and firmware. I did install HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools to test my tape drive connectivity and performace and it is all good. After that I did install OSB , the installtion went just fine and it let me pick my tape drive. ...... and here I have issues....
1. After I finished my installation I went to windows services mmc to see if OSB service is running...and it wasn't, so I started it.
2. I went to CMD and typed "obtool" and got an error message:
obtool: Error: this host's identity to Oracle Secure Backup has not yet been established.
3. I tryed to run a Web Administration Tool and got an error page.
4. Restarted the server.
5. Apache log folder in OSB Home is empty, there is nothing there. Another thing I found that my "OSB HOME \admin\config" folder has only "dataset" folder in it when it should have folders inside. It looks like it is not configuring Apache and OSB domain for me after installation.
6. Went to CMD and run: "obtool --initnewdomain" and it let me to crete it. Even let me to get onto obtool after that but Web Admin Tool is still not working.
7. I run my HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools again to see if SCSI card and drive connectivity is fine.... and it cannot detect my drive anymore.
So, I did a lot of rebooting and reinstalling and it still doesn't work. There is nothing running on the same TCP port on my system and as long as OSB is installed I can not get into my tape drive using HP Tape drive tools, not even detect it.
I did a bit more testing, instead of installing x64 OSB version I did try to install x86 (32 bit) on my x64 machine. The result is that Web Admin tool is still down (I am sure it is because Apache x86 on x64 machine) which is OK, and obtool is running fine, I can start it....... so, what would be your suggestion ?
P.S. I do have a development server, which is absolutely the same including SCSI card, the only difference is that it has Windows 2003 x86 installed and has DB 11g running on it. I did connect my tape drive to thys system, installed OSB for testing and Web Admin Tool, obtool was just fine. I even was simply able to test tape backup from EMC using OSB.
Thanks

I did that....and many times.
I, figured it out!!!! When I did try to manually run "obhttpd.exe" it gave me an error that "msvcr71.dll " is missing. I've found that MS .Net Framework and MS Visual C++ 2005 contains it. So, before installing any updates on my machine, I did install all MS .Net Framework versions from 1.1 to 4.0 including all updates and Microsoft Visual C++ from 2005 to 2010. In addition, I did copy this DLL file into my System32 folder. Did install OSB and it still didn't work but "obhttpd.exe" was starting without error messages. The only thing I didn't try yet was to rename a server. So my server name was "san-manage3" and I renamed it to "san-bk3", rebooted, installed OSB and it worked. So, I don't know if it is because of long DNS name or all together, but it is fine now.

Admin Applets not working

Hi ,
i installed content server 11.1.1.3 on windows7 32 bit on oracle using rcu 11.1.1.3. The admin applets were working fine just after installation. But later i re-installed oracle database, created schemas with rcu 11.1.1.4, and updated java version to 1.6.0_21 from 1.6.0_18. Now the admin applets are not working. Instead of applet link i am getting Text with large font and links are not working. Can you please tell what is the possible reason.
thanks

Hi fscherpe,
Thanks for reply. I installed the java plugin 1.6.0_26 in mozilla and applets are working fine now. But i am surprised why it was not working for update 26 ad-ons in IE however now its working fine in IE as well.
Thanks

SES 10.1.8 Admin password not working

Hi,
I installed SES 10.1.8 on my Windows 2000 machine and installation goes thro fine. For the Admin user, I specified the password as "welcome1" and it does not work when I try to login the Admin module. Can someone provide some pointer about How to debug?
I have an existing XE database using port 1521 and also an instance of SOA Suite 10.1.3 with its own Lite Database.
Can there be any potential issues with the SES DB installation/port etc.? How to debug?
Thanks

I can't find the 10.4 install disk, so I was just using the computer's original install disk to change the admin password.
I am assuming these original disks that came with a Quicksilver may be as early as OS 10.1. I imagine password setting is a pretty fundamental process to any version of OSX but I would feel very uncomfortable about doing anything to a Tiger drive with an earlier OS version. Would be interesting to test, but not on my computer!
Here's two threads talking about resetting passwords without a boot disc:

In-built mic not working after installation of windows 7 on my hp nc8430

So I installed windows 7 on my laptop which originally was running windows xp (hp compaq nc8430) and it turns out that the inbuilt mic is not working and it won't even recognise the SD card that i insert in the card slot. Everything was working perfectly before the installation. I checked the audio devices in control panel and it says the microphone is not plugged in. Also the screen resolution is weird, it won't go above 1024x768, everything is too big for my liking.
Could someone help me out please? Thanks in advance.

Router Reset and Admin/PW Not working

I'm trying to get to my router through my webbrowser. I put in the address and it asked for my username and password. I left the name blank and tried "admin" as the password but it didn't work.
I tried a whole bunch of different things after that: admin/pw/password/blank and all in different varriations. But still no luck.
I read on the forums here that I shoudl reset my router, so I held in the button for 30 seconds and it reset. I know it did becuase for my computer to get an internet connection it no longer needs the encryption that the router used to have.
Since the router was reset, I went back and tried 'admin' as the password, but it STILL did not work.
Anyone have advice?
