Changing Admin user that was created at time of install of OSX to Standard

I have a Mac with an admin account the one that was created at the time of installing OSX 10.4 and I am trying to change that user to a standard user. I have made another admin and have also another standard user. I evry time I tray to change the admin user and turn off admin rights the box is grayed out.
What is up with the first user that is created at the time of installing the OS? Is that a user that cannot be changed? How can I change its privileges to standard user?

I have tested this on a few different Macs. I have found some that I can get the admin right away form the fist Admin the one created at the time of installing the OS. Others I am still puzzled to way I cannot change the fist account to a Standard. In all cases I have 3 accounts 2 admins and one standard. The times that I could change the account I was logged in the standard account.
Is there a work around to get an admin account to have the same permeations as a standard account when the admin box in users is grayed out?

EP6.0: Can't change the Users that are created earlier by somebody else

Hi,
I ( have super admin access) am trying to modify/delete some of the users that were created by some body else earlier.
During Modify, it's not allowing me to change the following (grayed out)
1> Last name
2> First name
3> email add
Moreover I don't even see the password field where I can reset the password.
Also when I change the validity period etc, for some reason, the old data come back again after some time.
The user in question needs some additional access and need resetting of the password and I am not able to do the 2nd.
Also please note that there is no issue with the User lock, I have checked that already.
Thanks

How can I find and change a mask that was created by someone else?

I need to adapt a design to a billboard; it was originally created by our parent company's marketing. The billboard company just informed me that I need to incorporate a bleed area and the document does not have that.
I think it's using a mask on the items that will need to bleed, so I need to find the masking box and expand it to meet the bleed. But since I did not create this document, I have no idea how to find it and it's difficult to reach Marketing.
Is there an easy way to find the mask, or make it visible?

Unlock all layers
Object >> unlock all
Select >> Object >> Clipping Masks
Object >> Clipping Mask >> Release
If you find there are no clipping masks, you can also mask using the tranparency palette. UYou basiclaly have on lemtn whcih is your art, adn some art on top whcih serves as the mask, you slect both then use the make mask command form the transprency palette.
Do a CMD Y to better analiyze how this is constructed, as without a screenshot we can only make a best guess as to what is going on.

A Table that was created at Run time. A Row Properly Deleted from Table Is Still Present on Form with BindingNavigator

Hello
I have a dataset that was created at design time
but - after I run the app, it randomly creates a table based on The Users name
since I do not know the users name before had, the table is not part of my existing dataset
(I actually used an insert into sql nonquery to just make this table a copy of the masterUserTable)
Now - I have a binding navigator on my form, that is originally bound to masterUserTable, but my goal is to make it bound to the users table (let's say GabrielUserTable)
I thought I did so with this code:
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'MyLearningDBDataSet.masterUserTable' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
Me.MyMainDBTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MyLearningDBDataSet.masterUserTable)
Dim ThisNewVariable As String = MyUserNameIs & "UserTable"
Dim ThisNewTableName As New DataTable
Me.MyLearningDBDataSet.masterUserTable.TableName = ThisNewVariable
Me.MyMainDBTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MyLearningDBDataSet.masterUserTable)
that appeared to do the trick (but if it is incorrect please advice on the proper way to add a table made at runtime to a users existing datset)
Else where in my code I successfully execute the following NonQuery :
SqlString= "DELETE FROM " & MyUserNameIs & "UserTable" & vbCrLf &
"WHERE vState='" & txtStateInfo.Text & "';"
I check in Visual Studio 2013 that the row was deleted from the "GabrielUserTable" (Gabriel is the current value of MyUserNameIs) by using the Server Explorer and right clicking
on the table and choosing show talbe data
But the MyMainDBBindingNavigator is still showing the item I deleted.
So after searching for answers - I created a new button for testing and added the following code to test if it would work
Me.Validate()
Me.MyMainDBBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.MyLearningDBDataSet)
but the data is still shwoing after deleting it with my NonQuery
Please Help!

Hi genterprise,
>> Now - I have a binding navigator on my form, that is originally bound to masterUserTable, but my goal is to make it bound to the users table (let's say GabrielUserTable)
In my option, if you want to rebind the users table to the navigator, you need to set the BindingNavigator.BindingSource. Based on your description, it seems that you did not reset the datasoure of the MyMainDBBindingNavigator. It was the original datasource
of the masterUserTable. For more details about BindingNavigator.BindingSource Property. You could refer the link below:

OWA Calendar want to display a link to other users shared calendar that was created in Sharepoint at login

Site is using Office 365. They do not have the actual Office apps on their PC's, they access everything via OWA. (sorry if I did not use correct nomenclature).
Users currently access calendars etc, by accessing the site's SharePoint site after login to the Microsoft Portal (https://login.microsoftonline.com). Then going to "site contents", and then
accessing the calendar that was created. Just a generic calendar that they use to schedule a conference room. They log into O365 Portal, and just drill down.
What the users' WANT to be able to do, is access the calendar off of their initial OWA screen that they get when they log into the portal. At worst, just go down to "calendars" break it out, and click on "conference room calendar"
or whatever. I tried to do a copy and paste of the link from the page that has the calendar displayed, into a new link, but that did not bring up anything.
So, to recap, the site is not using AD, they are all on generic Win7 and Win8 PC's that are not in a domain.
They do not have Office on their computers. They use OWA for everything.
They do not want to drill down to calendars etc after login to access these resources, they want to be able to just click on a link on their OWA main default page they get when they initially log into the O365 portal, and get what they want. Not
drill down to the SharePoint shared calendar, which is only four clicks, but they don't want to have to do it. Whay want "ease of access".
Thanks for your help.

You can move the iTunes folder to a separate drive on your pc an then configure each account to use this drive / folder as iTunes library ... The problem is, that iTunes by default stores everything in your personal music folder which is separate for each user account in windows (and by default is on "C" drive).
I create a separate partition on every pc/laptop (and map a drive name) where I store music, videos and other mass data. This will also keep the "C" drive small, which is backed up from time to time and so my backup is also small.

Can't seem to change the Document Properties > Advanced > Reading Options in a Form that was created in Adobe LiveCycle. This option has been "greyed" out - anyone know how to update this to English so I can pass Accessibility Testing?

LiveCycle forms use a very different approach to create a PDF form than Acrobat and that approach makes many features for processing PDFs non-functional.
You might want to ask this question in one of the LiveCycle product forums.

How to change the picture for guest account that was created by "find my mac"? Is it possible to change the photo?

I want to change the picture to my guest account that was created by "find my mac." I tried using the workspace type program but it did not recognize my guest account. I am not sure what to do and need some help. Thanks!

I don't think there is a straight-forward way to do this. However, if the guest account is bothering you, you can disable it from within the System Preferences.

Cannot change admin user to standard user (2 Admin Accounts)

I have an issue that I would like some help with. When I purchased my iMac a few years ago, I created one user account and just started using my computer. I am trying to implement a few Safe Computing practices by creating a new Admin user account and changing my original user account to a Standard user.
For some reason, I cannot change either of the accounts to a standard user after I type in the password. I've logged in as both and tried to change the other user profile to a standard user, but the checkbox is greyed out on both of the Admin User accounts.
I can create a new standard user, but I have everyting set the way I like it on my current Admin user account. It would be much easier to have a new Admin User account and "Downgrade" my original Admin account to a standard user account.
Any thoughts on why the option to change from an Admin user to a standard user would be "Greyed Out"? The support articles walk me through, what should be a few simple steps, but I can not change the settings because the checkbox is greyed out.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts, suggestions, ideas....

In a way it makes sense that the original Admin Account can;t be changed. If a user changed that account to non-admin and that was the only admin account it would be a mess to undo it. I agree that there should be some indication of this and even the ability to over rider it in a case like yours.
As there isn't the next best thing will be for you to duplicate the current admin account as a new user account and then use that duplicated account.
See How to copy a user account for instructions on how to duplicate an account.
post back if you have any questions.

Change admin user name

When a fresh re-install of Mountain Lion was done at the apple store, my admin name was appended by the number 1. When I try to change it back to the original (since remote apps look for that name) I cannot change it. It tells me that that name is used. However, I cannot "see" that name or access it.

Hi, I followed your instructions but when I get to step 5, I don't get what is described in step 6. I only get a left-pointing red arrow and a text below that says "Name is already used by another user". So I cannot proceed further. Did I miss something?
The user newuserfolder was created with the terminal and the files were moved there.

How to change admin user name?

I have seen directions in this community related to earlier editons of OSX, but not to OS 10.8. I just set up a new iMac. In booting I established the user admin name "Bob", which is the name I wanted to use permanently. However, when I subsequently ran Migration Assistant to transfer all of our data from my wife's old iMac to the new iMac, I received a message that the user "Bob" on the old iMac would have to be renamed (e.g. Bob1), since you can not have two users with the same name. What I want to end up with is to delete the Bob account that I used only to boot up the new iMac and check Software Updarte, and use my "Bob" user migrated from the old iMac. But, I want the migrated account to be "Bob", not "Bob1". Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is there a way to save a table in Photoshop (that was created in InDesign) without fuzzy text?

I am trying to save a table in Photoshop that was created in InDesign for web use. When I save it as a png (can't save as pdf or jpeg due to limitations with our company's website), the text appears fuzzy (pixelated?). Is this because the table is getting flattened/rasterized?
Is there a different adobe product that can be used to avoid this happening? The company who has built our website has a style editor that has limited capabilities. We have tried using the website's editor to create the tables; however, the editor lacks the flexibilty and user-friendliness that comes with InDesign. That is why we opted to create the tables in Indesign.
In order to upload the table into the editor, the file must be saved as a png, so that is why we are creating in InDesign and then saving the table in Photoshop.
Any ideas?
Thank you for the help!
Tracy

Thanks for your help!
Just to clarify, are you suggesting going through the export process while in Indesign? I did that and saved the table as an EPS file, then proceeded to open it, trim, and save as png in Photoshop. I noticed it lost it's white background when I reopened it in Photoshop; the table appeared with a transparent background (which isn't a big deal). When I uploaded the png in the website it doesn't appear to be as blurry, so that did help.
Thank you for the suggestion!

How do I edit a merged clip in Audition, that was created in premiere to correct the synchronisation, and have it all updated to the premiere clip?

Hello,
How do I edit a merged clip in Audition, that was created in premiere to correct the synchronisation, and have it all updated to the premiere clip?
I have tried several tutorials but these either:
- show correction in premiere sequence (which is not practical; given the huge number of files we have)
- or show the editing in audition of a sequence, not the clip.
We have started merging audio and video (removing the original audio during merge) but some of the merged clips are out of sync, so we need to correct manually, BUT we want to correct the merged clip, which may or may not end up being used, so we do not want to take it to the sequence as all we are doing is prepare the synced files for editing.
Any idea how I can correct the synchronisation in Audition?, when I right click on clip and select "Edit in Adobe Audition" I get a list of files but not a multitrack session where I can see my video and audio tracks.

if premiere pro doesn't sync your footage properly, and you have a huge number of files, you may want to look at pluraleyes. there is a demo, and if it works properly, it would save you time to have it done right the first time, instead of tracking down random merged clips with bad sync.
premiere will either export a complete sequence or "edit clip in audition". the edit clip will create a copy of the original audio and open that in audition. there is no dynamic link, its just an audio file open in two programs at the same time. since there is no dynamic link, its not possible to bring merged clips into audition.
Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Synchronizing audio and video with Merge Clips
Once created, the merged clip cannot be re-synchronized, or adjusted. You must make a new merged clip.
Merged clip audio results in mono track audio only.Final Cut Pro XML and AAF interchange formats are not supported.
this doesn't give me much hope that audition or any other adobe program outside of premiere will help you fix the problem merged clips.

Need to edit a form that was created by someone else.

Hello, I have to edit a form that was created by someone else. I made numerous changes to the text and repositioned a lot of the items, and it appeared fine on my computer. However, when I open it on my PC and other systems, the fonts are substituting and I'm getting strange characters where I changed the text. I tried embedding the fonts with the Preflight embed fonts, but it is still messed up. My client is anxious...not sure what else to check. Any help would be appreciated!

You don't need to re-do the fields. If you create a new version of the PDF
file just open the old one and use the Replace Pages command to insert the
pages from the new version over the old ones. This will give you a new
version of the file, with the existing form fields still in tact. Of
course, you might need to adjust their location and/or size, but at least
you won't have to start all over again...

Add a note to a Calendar event that was created from Mac Mail

When I create a Calendar event by clicking on a date within a Mac Mail message (you hover over a date in an email it draws a dashed box around the date and gives an option to create a Calendar event). It creates an Event in my Calendar with the following fields: Subject, Location, Date Time and alert fields, Invitees and a link to the mail message. But - I can't seem to add a Note Field. The only work-around seems to be to manually create a new calendar entry.
Does anyone know how to modify an event created from Mac Mail to add a Note Field?
iMac Retina 5K 27-inch Late 2014, OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3, Calendar Version 8.0 (2034.9), Mail Version 8.2 (2098).

Thanks Brett for replying, but this doesn't work if the event is created by Mac Mail - which is my issue. Sure it works with any other event but not one that has been created from within Mail. If this is a bug I'm sure the Calendar people point the blame at the Mail people and vice versa but that doesn't help me. But before I submit a report to Apple I thought I would see if I might be missing something obvious.
See the attached screenshot of an event that was created by Mac Mail. There is no Add Notes field when the event is Double Clicked, Right Clicked or any other form of click.
