Cannot add a new user

We have a granddaughter who wishes to use our computer on a serparate account from the Guest account. We went to the area in control panel that allows the administration of users and found that the option to create new users is totally missing (see snip). How can this problem be resolved? There is only one user account on this PC.

Hi,
Please double click User accounts, you should see option to Manage other accounts and you can Add more user(s).
Regards.

Veriface: cannot add a new user, and i forgot my password?

Hello
I just got a yoga 2 13 and the veriface program did not get a good picture of me or my wife. I deleted the accounts, but i cannot see an option to add my user back. It scans my face and puts my name in then asks for a password which i cannot locate. I did try a uninstall ans re-install with the same result. Any help on this would be great.
thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Turn off your Yoga 2 13.
2. Next to the power button, you will see a tiny little key next to it. Hold it for 10 seconds and then release it.
3. Perform a factory reset, next time you should really write down your password. Keep in mind that doing a factory reset might erase your data. But maybe you will be prompted to keep your data/documents. I haven't really used One Key Recovery.

How do you add a new user to a desktop

I'm trying to add a new user on my desk top but can't work out how to do it...?

You cannot add a new user to your desktop. Each user account is independent. You add them with the Accounts system preferences. You need to do this from an administrator account.
Open the Accounts system preferences. Cliick the lock in the lower left and enter your admin password to the prompt. Now you can use the plus just above the lock to create another account.

I Can Add a new user, But the new user cannot logg in how can I solve this?

Hi there. When I add a new user every thing works great except when I try to logg this new user. The computer freezers at the logging window with the processing bar working indefinetly. To fix it I have to AppleCtrlpower swich to get out and restrat the computer. I can only logg in as the administrator... Can any one help me and point me to a right solution. Thank you!

Javivi:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It is difficult to tell why your new user account is not working, but one has to start some place.
First try Starting up in Safe Mode. Log in with the original user account, the restart the computer normally and log into the original user account. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Launch Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel and First Aid in the main panel. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU.
Go to System Prefs > Accounts and recheck the new account, especially the login options. If everything seems OK quit System Preferences and restart. Try logging into the new accounts. If you have problems force shut down and Start up in Safe Mode again.
It may be easiest to just delete the new account and start over, as you do not yet have any data in it. However, if you want to continue to trouble shoot we can try it for a while.
Please post back with a report of your experience and any questions or comments you may have.
Good luck.

Windows SBS 2011 - I can't add a new user through the SBS Console

I have recently installed SBS 2011 and this is my first install of SBS since 2003.
After the installation I went to the SBS Console to add a new user and when I select 'Add a new user account' and base it on the Standard User account i get a message saying 'Add a New User Account failed', when i view the details for this it says "The User
Account cannot be added. Ensure that the Active Directory Domain Services service is running....
I searched the web for this and found the following which was not applicable http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958890
I then resorted to adding the users via AD Users and Computers and the modifying the value in the ADSI for msSBSCreationState to 'Created' and then it appeared in the console, i then used the console to change the user role for this account to Standard User.
But when i now click on the "Edit User Account Properties" action i get a pop up message from SBS Server saying "There is no such object on the server".
Any ideas on ow to fix this broken console would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon

"Mission Control" does not show space row and I cannot add a new space (27 inch screen)

Firstly, "Mission Control" does not show upper row with spaces. I have configured Dashboard as space, but it is not showed either.
Second, I cannot add a new space because the upper right corner wont show an empty space.
In system I have configured (Mission Control) the upper right corner as "mission control".
I do run a 27-inch screen

I'm having the exact same problem. I have a Macbook Pro that I connect to a 27inch iMac through the mini display port. Whenever I attempt to launch Mission control to move a program to a different space, the "Spaces" dont appear at the top of the screen. Is anyone have an answer for this?
Also, does anyone know of a 3rd party program to bring "Spaces" back? That was my #1 favorite thing of Snow Leopard, and I need to get that functionality back.
Thanks

Cannot add a new playlist to my iphone - Help!!!

I am not able to add a new playlist to my iphone. I recently changed my computer, and when I choose the option to manually manage my music, I get a message that my phone is synced to a different itunes library, and if I sync to this library my content will be erased. Obviously I did not continue. I authorized this computer (which I had not done before), but I still cannot add a new playlist. What can I do?

I found this solution on a gogle discussion site, and it works.
"In iTunes, right click the playlist on your iPhone then select "export" to export the playlist as a .txt file (I have 3GS with iOS5).
Then still in iTunes, select "File, Library, Import Playlist", navigate to and open the .txt file, and it will appear in the iTunes sidebar.
I've tried to do this numerous times before. Sorry if this is old news but I was so pleased I wanted to share it."
After creating the playlists in your itunes library, sync your phone with the settings to manually manage your music (which will delete all the music from your phone), then drag the playlists back to your iphone. You can then start manually managing music on your phone.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

Go to
Settings,
General,
Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
Hope this helps.
