Can't seem to add Administrator (Other) to users login screen

I recently had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Tiger. Unfortunately at the time I did not have a way of backing up my hard drive. When I first setup user accounts using the "Users" preferences I seem to recall having the option of including the system administrator to the login window, and it would show up as "Other" and I would type "root" and the root password, and all was good. But since having to completely rebuild my hard drive (I now own a 500GB Firewire backup drive which I do backups religiously) I went to setup my list of users, and I could not figure out why "Other" system administrator will not show up on the login screen. How do I get the system administrator to show up in the login screen, and can it be called "System Administrator" or "root" instead of "Other"?

Hi Eric, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
From my read of your post in case gnarlodious misunderstands you I will remind you re adding new users.
System Preferences / Accounts / Unlock / '+' and call it what you like. Enable it as admin rather than standard.
[OT] For added security one should surf the web in a standard account. That gives you a pause before changing anything so you can think "Do I really want to do this." If you are currently surfing as "admin," post back or email and I'll run you thru how to change and keep preferences.

Can't seem to add artwork to pdf files

In the "Books" tab, I can add artwork to epub books, but I can't seem to add artwork to pdf files. Is this a normal thing? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Also, do you know what I should be setting my page widths to if I want the pdf files I create to display nicely in Portrait mode on an iPhone? The ones I made seem to only look nice in Landscape mode.

Devin, If they end in .ogg, they are OGG Vorbis files. This is a well-known open-source music format, but iTunes is unable to play it.
Also, as you have just learned, when iTunes encounters a file that is not copmatible, it "errors silently," i.e. gives no indication of what they problem is.
To resolve it, use a 3rd party conversion program such as Switch to convert the OGG files into MP3, and then they will add to iTunes.

I've downloaded CS6 Master Collection but only see The Photoshop icon. I can't seem to find the other programs, except on "uninstall programs" How do I open and run the others?

How about you give us some real information.
Did you install the software? What operating system?

HT4059 CAN YOU SHARE IBOOK BOOKS WITH OTHER IBOOK USERS?

Does anyone know if you can share books in ibook with other ibook users?

No, not unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account (which would probably be a violation of the Store terms of use).

I updated my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by it like a picture is taken of the screen and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopar

i upgraded my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by mode, its like a picture is taken of the actice desktop and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopard. does anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

I have an iMac 8, 1 that I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. It was totally updated with the latest from Apple when I bought and tried installing Lion. The upgrade failed, shot my OS and I couldn't boot. Had the constant spinner on a grey screen.. did a format of the drive, hdd repair and everything came back clean... got back to Snow Leopard and all the updates on it again and then retried the Lion thing... same bs... dead duck. Crashed my system one too many times. I can't see where a few small changes, mostly app related can be classified as an OS upgrade and is not compatible with my iMac. I have the stuff running on my Mac Pro but have yet to notice anything impressive. I've always used F3 and really didn't require Mission Control. Just open you app folder for launch pad... duh? I use the hot corners anyhow. As far as Safari is concerned... as a power user, Apple missed the boat on that for me.. full screen etc.. Wow. I don't like the new Mail either..
As you can see/read, I'm less than impressed with this release from Apple but I own so many of their products that I will have to put up with it for now... somehow the MS logo should apply to this release Steve.

User can't seem to add a second email account

I have a client whose device has until now activated on a BESX. He now has a Z10. He managed to get his email account added using Exchange & Active-Sync as email, contacts and appointments is really about the only things they need.
The user with the Z10 cannot seem to add his personal account to the phone. He has spoken with a Blackberry technician, (don't know how that was done without paying for it.) and he was told that although his Z10 is not activated on their BESX it is still using it and Blackberry Balance needs to be enabled for him to be able to add a personal account.
I can't understand how that will work if it's not activated on the BESX let alone the version of BESX doesn't seem to have Blackberry Balance available as it's 5.0.2, and the Z10's aren't supposed to activate unless it's a BES10 server.
Wondering if the data plan is set for a BES which might be preventing addition of personal accounts without first being activated on a BES. However if that was the case then the account he got setup probably shouldn't have worked.
I haven't even seen one of the Z10's so I have no idea how to walk him through instructions on adding a personal account. I believe he is trying to add a GMail account which also is giving peopel a hard time.

May or may not be helpful...but I had the same problem on my Z10. Make sure on the second account the 'SMPT Username' and 'Update SMTP Password' fields are blank.
When setting up my second account these fields were auto-populated and I had to wipe them out in order for it to work.

Can't seem to add a clear button

Hi,
I'm new to java and I'm having problems creating a clear button. Basically I want to have a button once clicked that would clear some text fields and a JComboBox. Here's what I've got so far.
        JButton clear = new JButton("<html><b>CLEAR");
        clearFields.addActionListener();
        content.add(clear);This should add the button and attach it to the action listener.
        private void clearFields() {
        ProjectOfficer.setText("");
        }As you can see I'm only trying to clear one field at the moment. I've got 6 more textfields and one JComboBox to clear as well. Problem I'm getting is that on the clearFields.addActionListener(); line I get an error saying Cannot find symbol; variable clearFields.
I'm not sure why I'm getting this error because clearFields is clearly there?
Any help Please?

Thanks for both replies.
I'm very new to this which is why I've had so many problems. I've more or less been using the approach of learn as I go along. I know that isn't the best thing to do but at them moment its my only option. With your help cotton.m I've added the clear button but as you guessed it doesnt work. I've had a look through my code and with my basic knowledge I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Here is my full code.

I am trying to transfer my itunes library from my macbook to my macbook air through migration assistant but both computers can't seem to find each other, can anyone help?

can someone help me transfer my itunes library from my macbook to macbook air, i have tried migration assistant but neither computer seems to find the other. thx, michael

In your case, it would be better to have transferred the library to an external drive from the PC. Then, connect it to the iMac and put the library onto the Music folder.
You used Migration Assistant, and it creates a new user with the transferred data.
Open  > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, open a Finder window, choose Music in the sidebar and you will see the iTunes library. Now, you have to move the iTunes library to /Users/Shared (select Go menu -in the menu bar- > Go to Folder, type that and copy the iTunes library to it). Finally, log in the other user, go to the same folder and move the library to the Music folder.
After doing that, open System Preferences > Users and Groups, choose the user created by Migration Assistant and press the - button to remove it. This is easier if you have an external drive

Can´t connect to WiFi when other Mac users can (in Spain)

Two days ago I went to a coffeeshop with free wifi in Spain and had no trouble using my Airport menubar logo to log on using their network and password. Just type it into the box, press Return, and presto, no problems.
Today I get Connection timeout errors when I try to do the same thing. When I change the password to something wrong, I get an Invalid Password error, so I know I´ve typed it correctly. I change it back and it goes back to Connection Timeout. Sometimes it waits a moment, sometimes it takes awhile, but it´s always a timeout.
Other Mac users report no problems. I do exactly the same thing as they do (modulo differences in the language of the menus, of course) and they connect with no problems.
The cafe changes its procedures periodically to be sure that only customers can connect. The key difference this time seems to be that they specify that the password be WEP 128 bit ASCII. When I use the little Airport logo in the menubar, it doesn´t let me specify this. When I access the Network Diagnostics to specify this, I type in the 10'character password and the Join button is greyed out! It becomes clickable only with a 5 character password. So I tried just the first 5 characters of the password... and again it times out.
HELP! As you can imagine, all the cafe personnel can only suggest that I reboot and try again.
What kind of system setting might be different on Macs in Spain versus my Macbook Pro from the U.S. that would cause this frustrating behavior?

Thanks, Henry. I didn't mean to suggest that engineers were the SOLE cause of the problem. Some of my best friends are engineers (grin)! And thanks for the link to the Apple explanation page.
But it still frosts my shorts to pay extra for a WiFi card which won't work in certain countries under certain conditions, without any advance warning. And the same goes for countries which have so-called "experts" (the WiFi guru for that cafe, for example) who don't seem to know about the limitations of their country's implementation of a supposed international "standard."

Why can i only send photos to other iphone users?

my plan includes SMM sending, but i can only send photos to other iphones

Photos to other iPhone users are probably being sent as iMessages. Is the accompanying text in a blue text balloon? To ensure that MMS is enabled on your phone for regular phones, go to Settings, Messages, make sure MMS Messaging is on under SMS/MMS.
