Can't seem to create new users and log in

Please help. I'm almost sure that this has something to do with a game or other download that my teenager has done. About three weeks ago, she was unable to fully log into her user. She would type in her password, and then screen would change to the background she picked, and then the pointer would turn into the spinning color wheel (which my children now call The Spinning Wheel of Death), and that's it. No dock. No menu at the top. Forever spinning. It then somehow migrated to my oldest son's user, and he had the same problem. (Which leads me to believe that he was playing the same game she was and it corrupted something somehow.) My user, my husband's user and my youngest child's user are perfectly fine. I deleted their user accounts and tried to create new ones. They can be created, but when we try to log them in, The Spinning Wheel of Death occurs. I've tried using different names for the accounts, and get the same result every time. I've run Disk Utility and it repaired lots of different permissions, but it doesn't change what happens when we try to log in. We've had this computer for nearly two years, and so there is no warranty on it anymore. Help!

HI,
Back up all your important data on all accounts and perform either an Archive & Install or Erase and Install, instructions here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545
First, boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility in case there are errors on the startup disk.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

Hi,
Roles are decided by IT managers. Suppose if Persons who are working in shopfloor or production side
give authorization to Production order create , change and Confirm like that etc
1. In role maintenance (transaction PFCG), choose the Authorizations tab page.
2. To change the authorization data for the transactions assigned to the role, choose Change Authorization Data or Expert Mode for Profile Generation. Otherwise, a dialog box appears in expert mode (see Regenerating an Authorization Profile After Changes).
Please take telp from Basis person also refer this link,

Hi,
I am not sure that which option you are talking about? Are you using the EMCA,http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28319/emca.htm#SUTIL800] to create the new repository for the EM? If not the command line than the other only way is to use DBCA(Database Configuration Assistant).I believe you are talking about that. Yes ,if the message is coming creating the repository than after wards you can login to the EM. You would get the port no of the EM's HTTP port from the $OH/install/portlist.ini file.

Trying to create new user and getting remote procedure call error

I'm trying to create a new user on my windows 8.1 machine but it's not letting me.
If i open control panel and go to user accounts there's not even an option to add a new user. It's like it's missing, there si a blank space where the link should be. I can change my current account type, and manage another account (though that takes me
to the list of accoutns which shows mine and the guest, but no option to add a new one) or change user account control settings.
If i open the run menu and type "users" there is a program that shows up labeled "add, delete and manage other user accoutns" but if I click that a dialog pops up with the following message
I've run sfc /scannow and it says there are corrupt files but that it couldnt repair them and logged them in the CBS.log

OK I tried to run sfc /scannow again, and it said files needed to be fixed on a reboot. I rebooted and I can now create user accounts. So never mind, folks!

How to create new user and group on version 10/09 ?

Hello,
I have used previous versions of Solaris 10 installed 1 or 2 years ago, and now, I just installed Solaris 10 x86, version 10/09. I notice that the desktop is different now, where I see "Desktop System for Solaris".
I remember in the past, when logged in as root, I could easily create groups and users.
With the Oct 2009 Solaris x86 version, I looked around, but didn't know how it's done on this version.
Is there a tool to easily do this on the 10/09 version?
Also, will all C programs and UNIX shell scripts on previous Solaris 10 versions (1 or 2 years ago) run
fine on this new Solaris 10, 10/09 version without problems? Thanks.

The GUI to create users is 'smc', which should work in 10/09. The CLI to create users is 'usermod'.
Yes, shell scripts created under earlier version of Solaris should work.

How to create a new user and group on command line?

Hi,
I am trying to install INN, the news server on OS X.4.8 (non-server), but it requires me to create a user and group, both called 'news'.
I know this has something to do with using Netinfo to create them, but I am logged in remotely via ssh and I can't use Netinfo Manager.
How do I create new users and groups via the command line.
Thanks for any help.

Problem in creating new user

Hai all,
I am new to Portals, when I am trying to create a new user it was displayed as "<b>User could not be created</b>". What is the actual process of creating a new user and how to work with that user. I have gone through some of the discussions in the form but unable to create the new one.
Can any help on this please.
Suma...

Hi,
Actual process of creating the user is
logon to http://server:port/irj
goto user administration
goto users
click create new user
fill up all mandatory fields, define the data as configured (for e.g. password alphanumeric etc
click create.
You should be able to create the user.
If this process doesnot work check ur UME store settings? if it is in LDAP server check if your LDAP is ab to craete new users etc? you can also try to create new users from Visual Admin .
logoff and then try to login with the newly created user it should show password expire screen.

Can't create new users after GroupWise is moved from NetWare to Linux

Hi,
I moved GroupWise (Version 6.5 SP 6, single domain and single office)
from NetWare 6.5 server to SUSE Linux Enterprise server 9. It seems the
GroupWise server is running oaky. Existing users are able to connect
their mail box and send and receive messages. But I can't create new
users on the GroupWise server.
I used ConsoleOne installed on the Linux server to create new GroupWise
users. It seemed that I was able to do it. The new users appear on the
NDS and the GroupWise File IDs were assigned for these users. And I was
able to add these new users to distribution lists. But the users DB
files (userXXX.db) were not created under /grpwise/po/ofuser on the Linux
server and they cannot connect to the server. Old users cannot find them
in Novell GroupWise Address book.
Does anyone how to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance!

This clearly sounds like your domain (which is the part of groupwise
which you admin against) doesn't/can't talk to the postoffice, so the
change you made (to the domain) does never get to the PO (which is where
the addressbook of your other users come from, and is what is
responsible for creating the user DB). This seems very likely to be
caused by your move not being done properly, and old information (either
path or IP address) for the PO still being in the domain and/or domain
database.
So how's the domain linked to the PO?

Bug Report: Can't exit system preferences after creating new users

Setting up a brand new Mac Mini (Late 2014) with Yosemite. (Came installed with Yosemite). I got an i7 version with 16GB of ram and a 256GB solid state drive.
When I create a new user (either administrator or regular) and then attempt to exit from the "User and Groups" dialog box under "System Preferences" I get an error message that "System Preferences" is busy and that I have to wait. I tried waiting up to 5 minutes and still cannot close the dialog. The only way to kill the dialog box is to use Force Quit under the Apple menu. After killing the dialog with Force Quit, the newly created account DOES seem to work ok. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes for Yosemite to simply create the default directories for a new account, so something is clearing getting wedged.
Additional details
This has occurs every time I try and create a new user (and yes I have Administrator privileges).
No other applications (either from Apple or other software publishers) have been installed on this mac.
This occurs whether the new user is set to use an iCloud Password or a Separate Password.
There IS a live wi-fi connection to the Internet.
If I create a second administrator account and then login with that account and attempt to create a new user the same thing happens.
I'm rather shocked to encounter such an obvious bug in the first 5 minutes of using a BRAND NEW Mac.
Any suggestions for how to fix this?

I just tested it on my system and cannot replicate your problem. So, I would attribute it to a defective installation and suggest you do the following:
Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

Can't create new users in Administration Services Console

Hi,
I am following directions in the Essbase DBA guide for creating new users, as it says you must create a partition user to work with Samppart and Sampeast applications. It tells me to log on to Administration Services Console, go to the Administration Server, and right-click on users to create a new user. However, when I right-click, the option to Create New User is light grey and not clickable, neither is the option to refresh users. Can anyone tell me why I can't create a new user? I am logged in with the username: admin password: password that I set during configuration and that should be the Administrative account.

Hi,
What version are you using? If it is 9 then you need to create the user in shared services. I just checked and the option to create a user is greyed out for me too and I am an admin.
It sounds like you haven't externalised the users which is why the option to do a refresh is not there.
Thanks,
Nathan
