Admin username and Home Sharing & Permissions name don't match

When I originally installed the OS on my iMac and MacBook, since I entered my full first and last names, that became my Admin user name. While attempting to address a 10.5.6 upgrade problem [below fyi], I used Accounts Preference on both to change to Jim (Me). This didn't solve the problem and, wanting to type less, I changed both to just Me. However, now when I Get Info on my Home directory and examine Sharing & Permissions, it still lists Jim (Me). Why didn't that change? Can I change it? Does it matter?
My problem: After "upgrading" to 10.5.6, I can't "see" my Home directory on either Mac when connecting via AirPort or Firewire. On both machines, I have set prefs so the Home directory is shared. I select the Shared file server in the Finder. (Oddly enough, the default name that appears when I attempt to connect is just Jim and, no matter what I enter, the next time I try to connect, it defaults to Jim.) Anyway, I enter my username and password. I see the home directory of that Mac as well as the other Mac. I select the other Mac but the only User directory that appears is the Shared directory -- my Home directory doesn't appear. (It did under 10.5.5 so I'm stymied.)

To fix this (so my files would show) I used NetInfo Manager to change the admin and user values.
If you change the name(not home) property of an administrator account without updating the membership of the admin group, that account will lose administrator access to the machine; it is possible to create a situation where there are no administrator accounts on the machine through this method. In this case, follow these instructions on one of the accounts which previously had administrator access.

I have just bought appletv and trying to get home sharing going from iPad to appletv support says it is simple just settings and iPod and home sharing but I don't have iPod as an option on my iPad settings so how do I set up home sharing please

Ipad2 iOS version 5

Thanks for your reply I have set up home sharing for music but on appletv now they want me to subscribe to iTunes match for an annual fee. I cannot find an 'advaced' option on any menu. Perhaps ihad it all wrong with appletv I thought I would be able to have the same apps on my appletv as I had on my iPad bt is it really just for renting videos off iTunes?

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.

Can't wake Lion over wifi (or ethernet) using iPad and home sharing.

I've upgraded to Lion and everything's fine apart from one problem: using my iPad to access home shared iTunes content on my mac no longer works when my mac is asleep.
That's a change in behaviour from Snow Leopard; I used to be able to sleep my mac and then wake it over wifi using either my iPad or iPhone to access all of my home shared libraries. The mac screen used to light up for ten seconds and then go dark again, but it served me the files.
Lion seems to go into a deeper sleep which it can't be woken from. If I attempt to wake my mac from my iPad within about ten minutes of putting my mac to sleep then home sharing seems to work and lets me use the home share libraries, but if I leave it any longer than that then the mac seems to fall into a coma and can't be woken. The weird thing is that I still see a "shared library" folder on my iPad, but when I click on it nothing happens. I think my Time Capsule is listening for wifi access and issuing the magic packet to the mac, but the mac just ain't listening.
I'm using a Time Capsule in bridge mode from an ADSL modem and I've accepted a TC firmware update last week and I'm on lion 10.7.3. I've tried using Ethernet to connect the mac to the TC (and temporarily disabled the wifi connection) but that still doesn't work. Also, note I'm NOT suffering from the problem that 10.7.3 seems to be giving a few other people - my mac reconnects to my wifi just fine when I wake it up manually. For the record, This was an upgrade, so there's still a tick in "wake on network" in power settings and home sharing on iTunes is still configured the same as it was before.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can get home sharing to work when my Lion mac is asleep please?
Jon

Jonathan:
The reworked release of the Combo came available the 2-nd or 3-rd of Feb, if you downloaded 10.7.3 complete after that date it will be OK already, no need to instal the Combo. But you can see the exact number of 10.7.3 in System Information/ Software panel: it should be 11D50b.....
fzahn:
I understand, I have TC and Extreme also, no need to set anything. And indeed I understand that it may be important for (as it is for me),
BUT even if it worked after you replaced the kext, I advise strongly not to read in an old kext over a new one, that may give other issues (you observed one already: Airdrop)... I hope you backed up the Lion one... for example such "replacing" was done in one (lousy) tool called TrimEnabler (to install Trim on a non-Apple SSD in the SnowLeopard OS): it replaced the whole kext. I read that there is a new version for Lion that just replaces the text piece that regards the identification for the Apple SSD's.... I do not dare to use such methods.... I advise to read the kext and compare the two (SL and Lion) and perhaps find a way to just replace the one string that is different (be sure it is precisely the same lenth in caracters)... BTW: after every update of Lion you have to do it again probably. Keep searching for a better way to solve your problem.
Did you do the firmware update of the TC and Extreme already?
BTW: there are two Airport Utilities for Lion: Airport Utility 5.6 and Airport Utility 6, the 5.6 is the "old" visual but in the new one 6 you can not change as many settings; if you want them both, change the name of the one you already have by putting the version number at the end of its name in Utilities, and install the other one, it will be installed additional not over.

Two apple TVs, 4 computers and home sharing

We have four computers that work well with our Apple TV and home sharing. Is it possible to have a second Apple TV operate on the same network and stream content to a second TV? I seem to recall there was a limit to the number of computers that could be a part of home sharing but I don't recall if there was a limit to Apple TVs
Thanks.

You can have up to 5 first gen models connected to each mac, the five limit counts but macs and Apple TVs have a five count each not between them.
I'm not really sure how many second gen models you can have but it's certainly more than one, I'd imagine at least five and likely more - because it's homeshare not an authorised device.

Admin username and password not recognized for upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade a user account on my computer to Yosemite. This is that not the admin account. My admin username and password are rejected. It is also rejected when I try to do something such as change the power settings. If I'm doing this within my admin account the same username and password work just fine. I have no idea how to fix this.

One more follow up question. I logged back into my admin account to upgrade to Yosemite. The software was already downloaded in the user account using the apple ID and PW associated with that account, which is different than the apple ID associated with the admin account.
Within my admin account, on the first page of the app store app it shows OSX Yosemite as 'downloaded' and nothing happens when I click that button.
The only other option is to click 'learn more' under the OSX Yosemite image. From that page it asks me to sign in to the App store to download Yosemite. The Apple ID box already contains the other Apple ID (not the one I want to use), and there is no option to change that. All I can do is enter that password.
I'd like to complete this with my Apple ID but I don't know how to change it.

ICM ADMIN username and password

Hi frnds
I have installed SAPNW7.0ABAPTrialSP12 on my system. I have started the application server and it works fine but when i click on ICM in MMC it is asking me to enter ICM ADMIN username and password.
What needs to be entered please let me know?
Thanks
Satya

1.      As user <sid>adm go to the directory where the executables are kept and call up icmon ‑a pf=<instance profile> .
The following appears:
Maintain authentication file
============================
File name (icmauth.txt):   .
       2.      If you are happy with the default file name, press the enter key, otherwise enter a different file name or path.
       3.      In the next menu choose a (add user to set).
       4.      Enter the user name, then the password twice, the group name, the subject of the X.509 certificate (wildcards allowed, and it can be left empty).
User Name: icmadm
Enter Password: *****
Re-enter Password: *****
Group name: admin
Subject Value of Client Cert: CN=template,*

The user created is in group admin, the user is therefore an administration user without administration authorization. In particular this user can create further users in the Web admin interface.
If you select another group name other than admin, create a monitoring user that can monitor, but not administrate, the ICM/Web Dispatcher.
If you want a user to be able to log on only with the X.509 client certificate, you can enter an x as the password (with queries), which makes the following entry (in the example) in file:
icmadm:x:admin:CN=muster,*
       5.      Choose s (save changes of set to file), to copy your changes from the local buffer to the authorization file.
       6.      Choose q, to quit the program.

Reset Admin UserName and Password?

Is there a way to reset you Admin username and password? Do I have to re-install?

Following information is from Installation Guide, Troubleshooting section. It seems to indicate that you have to re-install.
If you do not remember the administrative user name that was supplied during installation, try the user name admin. This is the default user name specified in the server configuration dialog during installation.
If you still cannot determine the user name, look in the following file:
domain_config_dir/domain1/admin-server/config/admpw
This file contains the administrator's user name followed by the encrypted form of the administrative user's password.
If you do not remember the administrator's password, then you will need to uninstall and reinstall the application server.
If you do not remember the administrator's password, then you can delete the administrative domain using the delete-domain subcommand of asadmin and create a new domain with a new administrative password.

Can't see all icons, I only have setting and home sharing!!??

I have many issues with my apple TV, now and most importantly that i simply don't see any icons on home page; anything like youtube, movies, series, netflex or anything. I once had it but lost it now, I only can see settings and home sharing?

Correction; I only see "Computers" and "Settings". Nothing else!

Solution for Apple TV 2, Xfinity router, Ethernet connection and Home Sharing

I have read over the past week the problems people have been having configuring their Apple TV and Home Sharing. I was experiencing the same issues as others....until tonight. I finally got it to work with an Ethernet connection. Previously, I was only able to get it to work via wifi and home sharing would drop after awhile.
1) Xfinity router settings. Like others I was suspicious if the Xfinity router was causing the issues because of the separation between wifi network and Ethernet network. It's not the router problem. I disabled the firewall. Enabled port forwarding. Gave a static IP address to the Apple TV. Added forwarding of ports
   123 TCP
    3689 UDP (all other support says this should be TCP but searched through and found a thread that suggested changing to UDP...this was the key)
    5353 UDP
    80 TCP
    443 TCP
    53 TCP
DMZ is off
Device discovery is disabled
Port triggering is disabled.
The wifi is setup and functional using DHCP. Lease time is 1 week.
RESET ROUTER AFTER ENTERING CONFIGURATION.
2) Mac computer. As of this posting the latest version of iTunes installed. Latest Safari version. All programs updated. Turned on Home Sharing. Turned off firewall. Gave Mac a static IP address. Set Mac for hard drive to never sleep. Set monitor to sleep after 15 minutes. Set date and time to automatically find based upon time zone. ( Apple TV needs to be set to the same time zone as computer and set to manual). Enabled file sharing amongst users on Mac.
3) Apple TV. Ethernet connection. Configured TCP/IP to static IP address I configured on router for the Apple TV. Turned on AirPlay. Set date and time to manual and set as the same time zone as the computer with iTunes. Turned on Home Sharing. Using latest version of Apple TV.
Once the router was reset ( not restored and not just resetting the wifi. A complete router reset), the Apple TV found my iTunes library. It's been running now for over an hour and no drop in the home sharing. Working beautifully. I will be testing in the next couple days allowing the Apple TV to sleep, turning the firewall on the router to a minimal setting to see if it changes anything.
Just tested the AirPlay from my iPad 2 to the Apple TV while the Apple TV is connected via ethernet connection and it works. At this point it appears that the setup is correct and complete with no errors.
As a side note, the Ethernet connection between my router and Mac is via commercial devices using the power outlets as the wiring.
Hope this helps many of you that were/ are struggling to get this to work like I was.

spma3,
Appreciate your further message. As you say "it's not fixed", but at least your solution appears to be a viable workaround!
My Cisco RVS4000 Router will permit me to forward ports for up to 15 applications. Of these, thirteen already have default entries added, although none of these are presently Enabled. For example, here's just 2 lines...
Application           HTTP        NTP
External Port          80           123
Internal Port           80            123
Protocol                TCP          UDP
IP Address            No entries at both
and the Enabled box for both is unchecked. In fact none of these 13 possibilities is Enabled.
To do what you are advising, I would need to...
1) Enable the above Port 123 entry, changing it from UDP-->TCP.
2) Add new entries for 3689 UDP & 5353 UDP... using the two free slots at the end of the table.
3) Select three of the default entries, and reconfigure them for 80 TCP; 443 TCP; 53 TCP, all as per your guidance. And Enable them.
Now, my present setup here has...
1) My PC is wired straight to Port 2 of the Router, and has a Static IP Address set.
My new ATV2 is hard-wired into the same subnet, albeit thru a series of switches, and again a Static IP is set. My understanding is that hard wiring an ATV automatically disables its WiFi.
3) My wife's iPad2 is set for DHCP, so it can pick up an IP Address when on the move. It connects into the LAN using one of two WAP4410N Wireless Access Points. Ch-1 & Ch-6, with same SSID and security stuff set up on both. The WAPs in turn are wired in, again with Static IPs set. So depending where she is in the property she can connect with excellent signal strength, reaching the ATV2 by WiFi+LAN.
On the Router DMZ is OFF, Port Range Triggering has no entries, nothing is Enabled, so is OFF. No idea about Device Discovery!
Home Sharing is ON for the PC, ATV2 and iPad2, with the same Apple ID/Password set for each. It does work, just not consistently as it should.
So to fully implement your idea, all I need to do is to enter these details. But I am unclear which IP Address I should put in at each new Single Port Forwarding entry field. Certainly not the iPad2, as its DHCP allocated value will change. Is it the ATV2 or the PC? Not sure, please clarify.
BTW, I have no plan to deactivate my AVG Firewall on this PC. It is happy to pass all traffic related to iTunes, so cannot see this as a factor. Time zone same on all equipment.
I tried with just 3689 UDP and 5353 UDP yesterday, and things were definitely better. I used 192.168.20.227, the IP Address for the ATV2.
Look forward to your answer.

Got problems with iOS7 and home sharing

Got problems with iOS7 and home sharing music. How do you home share music now. I don't have a airplay button either. It all work fine until I updated

I too am haing the same problem.
Oh i have an iphone 4 by the way - if this helps.
I have updated the itunes to 11 point something (latest as of 19th Sept '13) and still not joy.
My phone sees the network, then when i try to connect to it in the "Sharing" spot in music, it gives me the rotating icon and then i get "Unable to Home Share at this time".
I had this problem with the ios 6, which was log out of you apple account, and then turn off the phone -this was supposed to clear all the history and old connection details etc.
Then restart the phone and re-log into itunes account.
As i say - that worked last time, but this time, i have no idea what is going on.
I am looking at reverting back to the ios 6, and waiting for ios 7.1 which to be honest - wont be long away with the amount of issues people are having.

HT4557 Win 7 with iTunes, iPad3 and Home Sharing Problem

Hi All
I have a Windows 7 PC with iTunes installed and Home Sharing turned on. I also have an IOS 6 Ipad (New or 3) with sharing enabled. They are both on the same wireless network.
After a total uninstall and fresh instal of iTunes on the PC, all sharing works fine with all albums and artists displayed, and it plays tunes perfectly. Within a couple of days, the iPad only displays a small number of my albums, and they wont play. The 'loudspeaker icon' in 'Music' just skips down the list of songs, playing none.
I have tried, different versions of iTunes, different pcs (with Win 7), a different router but get the same issue each time.
Anyone know what is happening. I did only notice this after the compulsory download of IOS 6....
Regards
SjH

I had the exact same problem between my two Windows 7 computers when I updated them to iTunes 10.1 - the shared library would show up on the side in iTunes, but when I attempted to open it, it would say it was loading for a while and then disappear.
I solved the problem by first turning off Home Sharing on both computers Advanced->Turn Off Home Sharing (act name).
I then deauthorized the iTunes account associated with my home share on both computers Store->Deauthorize This Computer...
I then reauthorized both computers Store->Authorize This Computer...
I then turned Home Sharing back on for both computers Advanced->Turn On Home Sharing
After following these steps, I am able to use home sharing again.

And why is your question titled fluxbox and home folder permissions?? I can't see any problems with access permissions.
because...the problem appears the first time after I copied my whole home directory on an external hd...so i thought it was a permission problem. I'm sorry...I should have left this events...after last post change.
I solved reinstalling my system, I thought I made some strange experiment and it was not working because of those.
I really don't know what should be the problem...I'm sorry if i'm answering so late...but some days ago my laptop died...(dell xps m1330) and it's more than 4 days I'm waiting for technical support )
I hope there would be a feasible solution to this problem!
