CANNOT ACCESS DOWNLOAD FOR READER EVEN WITH CHANGED PASSWORD
CANNOT ACCESS DOWNLOAD FOR ADOBE READER EVEN WITH A CHANGED PASSWORD AND I HAVE BEEN ON CHAT
There are several possibilities as to why a user account may
not be correctly available or a password to it reset to fix it.
One of them may be, if the short name of the computer or of
an account was changed by the user; and later the system
may appear different or changed, with some of the user acct
settings or preferences no longer as they were prior to that.
There is a way to create a new admin level user account and
then move the older user info into the new account; then go
in and delete the other one. I am not certain as to how to do
this; but the topic has come up in these discussions, and the
general path is about the same from Panther through Leopard.
A few details may be named different, but similar as things go.

• How do I change owner's name in my Mac:
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/howto_change_owners_name_applemac.html
While these kinds of details may not be behind the exact problem in
the computer in question, directory and user account issues do often
have similar causes. Often, they are user-caused events. If the general
Directory of information on the hard disk drive has a problem, the use
of a third-party disk tool such as Disk Warrior is usually advised. If that
were needed, usually more evidence across the system would appear.
There may be a way to use a Setup Assistant to recreate a new user
experience and start over with a new admin account and user name.
Then go into the system to ferret out the old user info.

Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone
That happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo stream photos remain on your devices until deleted. When you enabled photo stream on your iPod 4, you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud. If you want to stream these older photos to your new iPod, you will have to create a shared photo stream on your old one that contains these photos (requires iOS 6 or higher) and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.

AOL recently asked me to change password. I did so and on my PC everything is OK but I can't access mail on iPad. I changed the password in settings and that didn't work. I also canceled and re-entered my AOL account, also no luck. Can anyone help me?
Are you sure you have the right password?

Cannot access primary user account - even with Install CD
I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how to solve a OSX problem for a friend that ran into some problems on his iMac. For some reason, he wasn’t able to log onto his user account – the only one on this computer. He didn’t try to change his password, but something strange must have happened.
We tried to reset the password with an OS X install disc, but I couldn’t even find, much less access his user account. Thanks to the help of some folks at the Genius Bar of an Apple store, we were able to log onto the Root account and create a new account. I tried t recreate the original user account, but the computer wouldn’t allow it, as that account was already being used. If that user account was still active, why wasn’t I able to reset it with an install disc?
I’ve rebuilt the volumes with Disk Warrior, and repaired permissions with Disk Utilities. I’m at a loss on how to deal with accessing the original user account, which has a lot of important data. I’ve copied the user data to an external drive, and I’m thinking I might be able to import various files – email data, photographs, and various documents, but I’m hoping there be an alternative to what seems like a tedious route. Other than using an install disc to reset the password to the user account it can’t seem to recognize, are there any other ways to gain access to this account?
My friend’s computer is a G4 iMac running, I believe, 10.3.9.There are several possibilities as to why a user account may

Cannot access folders and files even with Administrator rights
Hours & days gone trying to solve niggling issues that Microsoft cannot fix (using the built-in diagnosis tools/compatibility options/MS promises to advise when solutions found). But I am stopped from progress by restrictions to folder & file access preventing self-diagnosis. Why are administrator rights not effective? How do I as Administrator give myself access rights? If not available how do I return to XP and retrieve the cost of Windows 7? Note that the PC compatibility test tool for Win7 upgrade from XP noted no significant problems!
It appears that these are symbolic links and that WIn7 hasn't got the wherewithal to follow the symlink to the real folder to assess the security settings. - Hence everyone's frustration.
For those of us who are extremely technical, we'd like to be able to remove and re-create a link as needed to test a scenario...
I've done it for years with Altos Xenix, SCO Xenix, SCO OS/5, AIX and Linux from Caldera 2.2 through todays versions... Windows has been moving in a direction to incorporate more *nix like concepts as they move away from their DOS orientation, but in the process
they have focused on the "general user" at the expense of the "administrative user" (i.e. "root" in *nix)
I've always wanted to try a stripped down, non-backwards compatible, Windows Server. I'm sure it could be made admin-friendly and allow push updates without spending thousands of dollars on push-update software mechanisms... But so far, they've missed the boat.
I have 1 Win7Prof PC at home, 1 Mac and 2 Debian systems. Both the Win and OS/X systems make it very hard to administer/customize/etc. the OS. The 2 Debian systems give more bang for the buck and don't inhibit the root user at all once you make 2 changes (using
"su root" as a user) in /etc/pam.d to allow logging into the desktop as root.
We can always hope MS will see those of us who recommend server platforms as a market at some point. (Wouldn't it be awesome to have basic *nix constructs available for admins? And "bash" vs. "cmd"?)
I certainly don't see any need to utilize Windows except in those cases where some vendor/site is compatible with MS/IE only. There are a few of them and I rail on them constantly to be platform independent. Our software is. It takes a lot of work, but
we use Apache/MySQL/PHP to deliver our medical practice management application from any of the *nix-OS/X-WinServer server platforms to anyone who has Chrome/FireFox/Safari/Opera/IE or
similar browsers. But administering the server platform under Windows is about 5 times more time intensive to install and about 10 times more time intensive to maintain than *nix platforms.
We have about 200 Linux servers we are able to support with 4 staff. We have about 50 Windows servers we are able to support with 4 staff.
With numbers like that, I don't see us leaning toward Windows in the foreseeable future. -

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all. Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days. I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?
Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem. I tried it and it didn't work for me. Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?

I want to re-install Premiere Elelments 8, but cannot find downloads for version 8. I have the serial no. Where can I download the files for version 8?
Hi Jeff. I did purchase Premiere Elements 8 from Adobe (download version), but couldn't find the files to download again on the adobe.com website. I did, however carry out another search of files from my old PC and eventually found the files to reinstall on my new PC, using my registered product serial no. Installation has worked. It seems that Adobe has stopped supporting version 8 as I could only find version 9 and later for download from the adobe.com website.
Thanks for your prompt reply -

Can you download and read books with the iPad?
Can you download and read books with the iPad?
Yes. There is the free iBooks app which then allows you to download books from Apple's book store. Kindle also has an app and there are other e-reader apps.
The one thing to consider, the iPad is a backlit screen, so it's like reading off a comptuer screen. Some have issues with eye strain so just bear that in mind.
