Cannot change account settings anymore

When I try and view/change settings of an account I get a pop up message "An account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name."
This only seems to have happened after the recent upgrade to 31.4.0, prior to this I have always been able to view/change the account settings.

Have you done your homework?
Run DU, check/repair HD and permissions.
If that does not work, move following .plists to desktop; let system create new plists
try this one first:
com.apple.desktop.plist
reboot and see if this fixes it.
if not then move this one to desktop and repeat
com.apple.desktopscreensaver.rsspictures.plist

Cannot change account picture after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard I cannot change account picture anymore.
The box which is supposed to contain picture previews just says "No items".
Screenshot attached:
This is not limited to a particular account, trying to change the picture within any account leads to this problem.
Is there any solution for the issue?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the answer.
Sure I can drag a photo to the users profile and it works but those Default ones were quite useful for having no mess with setting custom picture.
MacBook Pro with same Snow Leopard -> Mountain Lion upgrade did not have such issue.

I started my account with a gift card. I have $0.68 credit remaining and I cannot change my settings to use a new gift card. What should I do?

Done what? All you can do with an iTunes gift card is redeem it:

I just upgraded my iPad to ios6. Now my Epson iPrint crashes all the time. I called Epson and they had no answer...said to use AirPrint instead. But AirPrint stinks because you cannot change printer settings. Anybody know how to make iPrint work on ios6?

Anybody know how to make Epson iPrint work on ios6? Epson told me to use AirPrint, which stinks because you cannot change printer settings.

Epson needs an update to their app to support ios6. I'm sure they will in time.
Try deleting it and re download it. If that doesn't work, it's what I said above. :(

Cannot Change Desktop Picture Anymore

Hi -
Problem is described in the Header. And goes for ALL accounts incl. ROOT Account.
Scenario: I open Sys Pref. Go to Desktop/ScreenSaver - it opens fine and I can click the images. They will even show in the little preview window in the top. The only thing NOT changing is the Actual Desktop. It remains Solid Blue.
Tried deleting Finder, desktop, .globalpref( in both pref folders) - Preferences
Any Ideas ?

Changing account settings from G/L account into reconciliation account

Dear all,
Could you please help me solve the following problem:
We've got such settings in productive system so that open items were formed on GL account in spite of the fact that it was not a reconciliation account for creditors.
Is there any way to change the account status from G/L account into reconciliation account, clear existing open items and change account status back to G/L account?

Dear Stanislav Kim
For changing Recon Account :
1.The GL account should be intially blocked for posting.
2 . The program RFSEPA02 FOR SWITCHING ON AND RFSEPA03 FOR SWITCHING OFF open items . This program can be modified with the help of ABAP consultant.
This will convert Recon acct to normal GL account with open items.
I am sure this will resolve your problem.
Deven.

Office 2013 with Lexmark printer - Cannot change printer settings

I have a Lexmark x4650 and I can open the printer settings within all of the Office 2013 applications (Windows 7 64-bit). But after I change the settings to what I want, I cannot exit the printer settings dialog. If I click OK, nothing happens. If I click
Cancel, nothing happens. If I click the X in the upper right of the window, nothing happens. The only way to close the printer settings dialog is to force the Office application to close through the Windows task manager. I've tried re-installing both Office
and the Lexmark print driver/applications with no success. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
John

We need to narrow down the issue, to see if the root cause is on Office side or Printer side. Please try below steps for troubleshooting:
1. Try obtaining an updated printer driver from the printer's manufacturer. And update your PC, restart and try again.
2. Try to select another printer in Printer
drop-down list in any Office application, and try again to see if we have the same issue.
Printing is primarily controlled by settings in Microsoft Windows:
3. Please try to print a file outside the Office application, say a .pdf file to determine whether your printer setup in Windows is correct or using the Windows Printing
Troubleshooter.
Hope this can help you. Thanks.

Distiller: can't change color settings anymore

I just tried to change some settings in a specific Distiller (8) setting, but when I press Cmd-E and get to all the option tabs, I cannot acces the color tab! When I click on the word color the screens stays as it is and the little tab turns grey. After that I can't press OK or cancel: I can only switch between other tabs... Anyone knows what went wrong here? I really need to change those settings!

Hi; now I could solve the problem for me. I had to remove my Photoshop10 color profile from Mac/Users/.../Library/Application%20Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/ because it must have been corrupted by other CS3 applications (Illu13, Indy5 etc.). Then I created a new color profile there using 'Photoshop10 > Edit > Color Settings', and to be sure I created for each CS3 app a separate one (I named it ColSetPhotoshop, ColSetIllustrator, ColSetIndesign etc.) and selected it in each app, so that those corruptions cannot occur in the future. NEVERTHELESS: ADOBE SHOULD AVOID THOSE INSECURITIES IN THEIR PRODUCTS!
After doing so, Distiller's color tab is functioning normally.
This hint helped me:

Could be a corrupt preference file or corrupt job options file.

"My Distiller crashes every time I hit the color tab in the edit Adobe pdf settings menu.....any ideas what that might be? "
Do not use any other colour parameters than those made with Adobe photoshop or those which are pre-installed.
If you create personal colour parameters with Illustrator or Indesign, this drives Distiller to crash when hitting the colour tab in the pdf settings.
Remove all personal colour parameters (User > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Color > Settings) except those made with Photoshop.

ICloud: cannot change account profile

Hi,
I recently changed my icloud account/mailaddress id on Itunes. Now when I want to login on ICloud, it tells me the login is wrong but I don't have the option to change it.
I added the old mailaddress I used via id.apple.com and verified/confirmed it via mail but still no luck logging in with old id. If I try to delete the account it asks for my password (with old id) and again it says the password is not ok. So I cannot change my appleid for icloud, I cannot delete it.
Also via Itunes no way to change. Please advise.
Please advise.
Steven

Hi
I have same problem,
but when I try to delete the id (as you wrote) is required to enter the password from the old id to turn off "find the iPhone" funtion

Verify: Cannot change sequence settings

So I just want to be sure that I understand this:
I cannot change the details of the sequence presets in FCE HD. Correct?
For example, I can choose the 'AIC 720p30' sequence preset, but I cannot change 30, to say 25?
If I have an existing clip (AIC codec, 1280x720 @ 25 fps) there is no way for me to bring this into FCE without the software rendering it (thus reducing the quality of the existing clip).
I just want to be sure I understand this correctly. I am very surprised that I cannot define sequence presets myself.
Thank you for any clarification you might provide.
BT

Thank you Tom - I really appreciate your response!!
I'm a software developer and I can't tell you how surprised I was when I discovered this limitation. So I decided to try to understand how these presets were defined by FCE.
It is actually very easy (if you are technically inclined) to create your own presets in FCE.
1) Find the FCE HD application in your Finder
2) Right-click on this icon and select "Show Package Contents"
3) Naviate to Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Final Cut Express Settings/Hardware Settings
Inside this directory you will find *.fcpre files that define the presets for FCE HD.
I am not going to explain how to modify these files but those among you who understand file formats should easily be able to create your own presets (it took me about 15 minutes to create a 720p25 preset).
-BT
PS: Do *NOT* attempt this if you don't know what you are doing. At an absolute minimum, make a copy of FCE before you start mucking around - if you mess something up FCE will fail to launch.

Cannot change print settings, print on foto size

When I want to print a webpages the printer (HP6380) prints in the format 10 x 15 instaed of A4. I tried changing the settings in printermenu but it did not help...

When reading your '''More system details...''' for the HPOfficejet 6300 series printer, the paper height is set to 11.0 and the width to 8.5 - '''inch''' settings for Letter size paper - not metric settings for A4 sized paper.
Where are you checking the setting for A4 paper?
{Ctrl + P} to see what is known as the "native print dialog", then check to make sure that printer is selected in the Printer - Name box at the top, and then hit the '''Properties''' button. The preferences that appear there are what Firefox uses. Settings that appear elsewhere or the "default" printer settings aren't what Firefox uses.

I have 3.6.2 Gnome
And help is appreciated.

Cannot connect to wifi, cannot change network settings [SOLVED]

Asus EeePC.
lspci -k shows
Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 adapter is the hardware, and appears to be working. Kernel driver in use is bcma-pci-bridge
In Gnome, Wi-Fi status shows "not connected"
"Select Network" shows a list of available APs, I click on ours which is set up as WPA2 PSK. Click Connect. Nothing happens. At all, no dialog for password, no attempt to connect seems to be processed by the computer. This happens with open networks as well (coffee shop or whatever). Click connect but nothing further happens.
From the applet I can't even seem to be able to "Turn off" the WiFi at all.
From within Wi-Fi settings in the applet, I can see a list of available access points but clicking on them does nothing. There is no available way for any user input, although I can click the toggle to turn off Wi-Fi from within there.
I can't forget networks in my history here either: click "History" and I can see a long list of previous networks. I can check box for them all and say "forget" but then they're back when I open the history again.
So it seems like my NetworkManager is just simply not working. Can't change the current state of "not connected" to anything at all.
When I attempt to connect using Wifi-menu I get:
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
>WPA Authentication/Association Failed {FAIL}
When I attempt to connect to any network. It never asks for password.
Gnome-Keyring is installed.
Netctl is NOT installed.
NetworkManager is installed and running according to systemctl
I've been running this Arch install on this machine for two years. This is not a new install problem. No hardware can be changed on this machine, so it's not hardware related (unless the wireless device itself crapped out).
Possibly related, I cannot shutdown the machine from within Gnome. I have to "sudo shutdown -h now" from a terminal. Seems to hibernate/sleep properly when the lid is closed though.
All of the results of searching on this indicate usually the problem is multiple network config softwares installed at the same time, like netctl and networkmanager together. Or not having a keyring manager installed That is not the case here unless it is one of those that is broken, but they don't seem to be.
I have no access to any wired connection at the moment at all, so I can't download anything to this computer at the moment. There's gotta be a way to get wifi working again, as it was just working last week. Haven't even done a pacman upgrade between when it last worked and when it stopped working.

I did mention the hardware is a Broadcom BCM4313
It may have been an issue with the Broadcom not working with iw. Not sure, as I haven't really changed things on this machine much (it's my wife's and I regularly update it but don't fuss with it much beyond "get it to work"). Like I said, the install is 2 years old, so compatibility may have even changed since I initially set it up.
I'm currently at work and without direct access to the computer in question. So I'll get those results later tonight.
