Changed user account name and moved to OSX Yosemite. Apps still work, but cannot download new apps or updates.

I recently moved to a new MacBook Air with a physically larger hard drive. I had a coworker move over all of my software and data, and everything seems to be playing nicely. All of the current apps I have in place like Photoshop and Illustrator are working just fine.
Unfortunately when I try to download other apps in Creative Cloud it just shows Download Error. I tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, which did nothing.
I should note that when I moved to the larger machine I changed user account names. Whenever I try to use FileSync, it says it is looking for a folder in the old user account folder. This occurs even after trying to change where that folder is in the Preferences.
Additionally I have updated from Mavericks to Yosemite. I do not know what effect that had.
Any insight how to restore my ability to get downloads and updates? Or perhaps how to fix my FileSync?

I think I have it resolved by uninstalling everything and running the cleaner per these instructions: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • User account name and home directory name do not match

    A month ago I bought the latest iMac and used Migration assistant to migrate all of my data on over.
    Everything went well... Except that my new iMac would not let me use my old user name. I had to create somethign else.
    So my user (admin) account name is not the same as my Home directory name. (I only have 1 user account and 1 user Home directory... they both are named differently).
    This has not caused problems, but I want to iron this out. I tried using System Preferences/Users and groups to change my user account name to match the name of my home directory name (which has my old user name)... but when I did that it said "Name not available".
    Long time Mac user but I'm not comfortable doing anything deeper without some input & advice.
    Thanks in advance!

    I enable the Root user as outlined in the Apple Way instructions...logged out and loged in as the rooot user... but I really don't want to change the name of my user directory... That's the name I want to keep as a User.
    Even logged in as a Root User...
    I tried to change my current User Name to match by directory name, but it said Name is Not Available
    I also tried to create a new User name that matches my directory name...same results Name is Not Available
    Is there a sudo entry that will change the User to match my Directory name (which I want to keep and use)?
    Thank in advance!

  • Have installed PSE9 andPrE9 on computer running 8.1 using original download files, noproblem it works BUT cannot download and install the updates available.

    have upgraded to a computer running Windows 8.1. I installed PSE9 and PrE9 using the original download files. There was no problem with this and the programmes work. However I cannot download the updates available. Each time I try the updater appears to download the files then says "there is an error please quit and try again". Does this mean I need to upgrade?

  • I have an ipad2 and the screen shattered. It still works but is there a way to safely fix it without having to buy a new one?

    We were on April vacation this past week and my ipad fell onto the road and shattered the screen. I can still get onto it and maneuver around my apps but the screen is spider webbed and shattered. I have heard their are screen kits you can but to replace yourself, but the reviews are mixed. They also say to be careful of the wi fi wires because you can severly screw it up. This was a huge purchase for me and I can't afford to get another one. What can I do? Best Buy says they aren't allowed to replace the screens from Apple products and I have heard Apple just sells you a new one at a lower cost. Is there a way for me to replace the screen myself?

    Back it up befor you go to the Apple store for a replacement or sending it out for rapair.

  • After installing new operating system software, my user account name has been changed and i don't know the password.

    i need help!
    I just installed Mac OS Maverick in my laptop, but when i checked the Users&Groups There are only 2 User name 1 is  "Apple(admin) and 2 is Guest, my user account name has been changed even the password. how can i retrieve my old user account name and password or how can i changed it?

    Here's an updated set of instructions you can try:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • All My Files Gone! After I Changed My Account Name. Please Help!

    I changed the account name on my computer and then the next time i turned it on everything was gone; my apps, docs, media, and other files. I don't know if it was because I changed the account name and some how switched users or what happened. I know all my files are still on my computer i just want to know how to get all my stuff back. It would make me ecstatic if i didn't have to get all my music, photos, and apps back; so if you could help me that would be great. If you have questions about my problem, feel free to ask.

  • SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics showing user Display Name and Account Name from the same user

    Hi!
    Since July, 16th 2012 the Web Analytics Daily Unique Visitors reports started to show almost the double of visitors we used to have on our Web Application. Here are some of the data (I intentionally deleted the weekend data):
    10/7/2012 2.497
    11/7/2012 2.723
    12/7/2012 2.722
    13/7/2012 2.699
    16/7/2012 5.055
    17/7/2012 4.963
    18/7/2012 4.954
    19/7/2012 4.998
    20/7/2012 4.965
    23/7/2012 5.117
    24/7/2012 5.012
    25/7/2012 5.071
    As you may notice the data jumped from around 2.700 unique visitors to around 5.000 unique visitors. As the number of permissioned users remains constant it is pretty odd. I also checked the Number of Page Views report and see no change on its behavior.
    The number of page views remained constant.
    So I went to look the Top Visitors report and understand why the visitors number almost doubled. The analytics started to count the users Display Name and Account name as two different visitors with a different number of page views. Let me show you an example
    from yesterday (July, 25th) Top Visitors report:
    #     Visitor                  Page Views    %
    1    Cinthia XXXXXXXXXX    359        0,55%
    5    Giselle XXXXXXXXXX     143        0,22%
    7    Aline XXXXXXXXXX       138        0,21%
    15  nt\cmazevedo              111        0,17%
    60  nt\gbsantana                 69        0,11%
    73  nt\aglsiqueira                 65        0,10%
    "Cinthia" and the account "nt\cmazevedo" are the same person. The same is applied to "Giselle" / "nt\gbsantana" and "Aline" / "nt\aglsiqueira".
    As I stated this is an example from July, 25th. If I checked the same report from a period before July, 16th I can only see the users Display Name as "Visitors". No account name is displayed or counted as a different visitor.
    About the environment:
    We have two SharePoint 2010 farms: a "corporate" and a "enterprise". The corporate farm contains four web servers and a central administration servers with publishing services. The enterprise farm contains two servers running User Profile Services, Search
    Services and some others. Our main version is the SP1 with June/2011 Cumulative Update with a few more hotfixes applied.
    This behavior on analytics is affecting all web applications (we have more than 20) installed on this farm and my company Support team said that no change were made on SharePoint on the weekend the problem started.
    Does anyone have any tip about what is going on?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, Manas!
    First of all thanks for your interest on this issue but I don't think it is related to the User Profile or the Active Directory.
    I checked both records and there was no change on the Display Names. All the users have "full names" as display names (first + middle + last name) and not logins as SharePoint is displaying on this report.
    But I did a test yesterday and checked the results today confirming that just the access been made using a specific server are causing this. Explaining it better:
    I have four web servers on my farm named from P01 to P04. Then I created this test script:
    Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P01.
    Step 2: Access site "A"
    Step 3: Access site "B"
    Step 4: Close the browser.
    Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P02.
    Step 2: Access site "C"
    Step 3: Access site "D"
    Step 4: Close the browser.
    Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P03.
    Step 2: Access site "E"
    Step 3: Access site "F"
    Step 4: Close the browser.
    Step 1: Change local HOSTS file to point the web application on the server P04.
    Step 2: Access site "G"
    Step 3: Access site "H"
    Step 4: Close the browser.
    I asked three users to execute that script. The results: All access to the sites "C" and "D" were registered on Web Analytics with the user account name such as "nt\cmazevedo". All the other sites registered the user Display Name correctly such as "Cinthia
    XXXXXXXXXX".
    With this test we could isolate the problem just on the server P02. It doesn't occur on the others. Now my support team is trying to find any configuration difference between this server and the other three that could point for the root cause.
    I am also looking for some information regarding the service responsible for this task ("transform the account name into a display name") to understand why it doesn't work on one server and works on the others.
    Thanks!

  • Impact on roaming profile accounts if we Change User logon Name to Employee Number format in Active Directory for all User accounts

    I want to understand if we change User logon Name to Employee Number format in Active Directory for all User accounts, then what would be the impact on existing profile. Whether we need to change it manualy or it will connect to same profiles in terminal

    Kindly let me know the proper process to overcome with this, how to connect same existing roaming profile with employee number format change.

  • How to change user account's Short Name

    Hopefully this is a fairly simple question.
    When I installed OX 10.3 I mispelled my short name, and now I'm can't find how to change it.
    Reffering specifically to: System Preference>Accounts>Short Name
    It's not super important, but would be handier to have it displaying correct for networking.
    If anyone can let me know how to change the short name, and any issues that may result from changing it, it would be great.
    Thanks for any input

    Hi baobhanjex!
    Here is a direct link that usually works, to the utility ChangeShortName by Dan Frakes.
    Read all of the instructions carefully, and proceed cautiously, as an improper change can result in unwanted results.
    Such as;

  • Changed account name and old music files no longer can play

    I changed my account name to an e-mail address that I currently use. since I moved the old one I could no longer access any longer. Well they have a feature to do that so I took it so it would be easier to remember the account and password. thing is since I changed none of the songs that I purchased with the old account name can be played any longer. they need to be Reauthorized.
    No biggie right just type in the old account name and password and I'll be on my way. Wrong :P
    According to the music store the old account does not exist. Well of course not that is because I changed it. I check to see my account history under the NEW account and it has all the files I ever downloaded since I first installed iTunes! If this is the case why on earth can I not play the files purchased under my old account under the new accounts name! did I make a mistake by not deauthroizing my computer before changing account? because it is not mentioned in the instructions to do so! Grrr... normally I'd just say oh well but it's most of my iTunes library!
    Pleas help!

    Problem Resolved!
    I was sent back an e-mail stating that I did not make a second account but changed my account name from (accounts will be withheld for security) one to the other. Problem?
    Files downloaded from the other account name would not work with the one that I was currently using.
    Issues further complicating the matter. My computer recently was having Power supply issues and I reformated my computer several times. Not realizing that this left iTunes Music store saying that I had 5 computers authorized on my account because I had not deauthorized any of the computers each time. Couldn't really, windows crashed out and I couldn't get to it. So when I got everything ironed out on my computer. I couldn't play any of my songs becaus I had reached maximum authorizations! even Deauthorizing and reauthorizing didn't work.
    Solution:: Login to your (working) account and go to your account summary. Click on the button that says "Deauthorize ALL computers" This will wipe all computers that you had associated with your account to play your songs. Not that big of deal because all you have to do is log back in. (BIG deal to ppl that don't know your password, which they shouldn't be playing yoru songs anyway!)
    Once I resetted my authorization on all computers and logged back in everything was fine.
    Now I think the tech that sent me the e-mail did do one thing for me. He must have enabled my old account I used to have and linked it to my current one. Because instead of my old account saying it does not exist it says it works now! yet I still login to and access my account with my new e-mail account!
    So even though I would like to say everything was within my power to do myself the whole time. That is not the case. The tech did help me associate the two accounts from withing iTunes. So I can now listen to my songs at anytime I want and not be told I have 5+ computers when I only own 2 LOL

    # Open you login page (where you have to enter username and password).
    # Right click on page and select '''Page Info''' form context menu.
    # On last tab ('''Security''') there is '''View saved passwords''' button, click it and delete all saved passwords for this page.

  • I changed user account and now Time Machine won't back up.

    A few months ago I had a problem with my user account. I can't remember the details but i think it would no longer accept my password. After doing some hunting around for answers i made a new user account with administrative priviledges and transferred all the files over to that account. I also changed the permissions on those files to allow me to access them as a new user identity. For the most part that seems to have worked for me, although possibly i have not done the right thing.
    Anyway, i have just realised recently that although the little circular arrow that indicated that Time machine is backing up my files, it hasn't actually made a backup since the end of august, which was possibly when i did this funny thing with my user account.
    I am assuming that Time Machine has just got very confused about the disappearance of my files from the previous user account and change of permissions etc.
    What can i do? I read on 'pondini.org' that i could reset my time machine by deleting the preferences file from my system library and then rehooking up my external hard drive as the desired backup volume. It would then, i assume make a full backup to begin with?
    Any advice gratefully received. I am a graphic designer and i do need to have my files backed up!
    thanks
    Lesley
    ps i had some extra  RAM installed a little while before the user account problem and only mentioning it here in case that is an issue with Time Machine as well.

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.
