Changing user id - again

My G5 tower user id is 503 and it should be 501. In the accounts pane, it is set up as an administrator account. I would like to change it to 501.
I have seen the other posts about changing my user id and have followed these instructions:
To swap numeric UIDs between two accounts, log in from an admin account and make them both admin accounts temporarily. Next, log in with the 505 account and run the following commands from the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder:
chmod -R 777 ~
sudo chown -R 501 ~
Next, log in from the 501 account and run the following from the Terminal:
chmod -R 777 ~
sudo chown -R 505 ~
At this point, open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and exchange the numeric UIDs. Log in from each account and run the script I posted here to complete the changeover.
I didn't need to swap account ids, I just followed the instructions to change my account id 503 to 501. I then executed the script, but I always get an error: chmod: /Users/creativelight: Operation not permitted.
Is there something that I am doing wrong?
Any help will be much appreciated!
Jeff

thanks for helping out.
my user id is 503. I had copied an earlier post as an example of the instructions I had followed to change my user id and that post involved a user id of 504.
Everything is back to normal now (meaning my user id is still 503).
However, I started investigating into changing my user id because when I use DejaVu backup software to mirror document and picture folders between my MBP and my G5 tower I get locked folders in my user account and I cannot modify the contents of those folders. Software support said that the problem comes from the two computers not having the same user id. Therefore I want to change the user id on my G5 tower to match the user id of my MBP to avoid the locked folders when mirroring contents between the two computers.
Do you have any idea why I get that error when running the suggested script?
Thanks
Jeff

4.0.8.2.4 Cannot start listener after changing user/group to nobody/nobody

Installed OAS 4.0.8.2.4 and configured it. Everything is working fine with listener, plsql cartridge, Java cartridge and OSSWA. But if change listener's user/group from Oracle/Dba to nobody/nobody. Listener will not start. It hangs in as follows:
========================================================================
Information: Listening on NORM port 80 address 0.0.0.0
Information: wriorProcessInit: RMProxy IOR Bootstrap Service initialized
Information: Adapter services initialized successfully
Information: The server started successfully
Server now running as process 15654

===========================================================================
from the message above, we can see if it failed to start the "Adapter services"
If we change the user/group back to Oracle/Dba, it starts fine.
And also, we have under $ORACLE_BASE/admin, the listener ( name devl ) permission has been changed accordingly to the user/group change. We follow the instruction from OAS configuration to change user/group.
( Read access to the configuration file
Read access to all files that provide content for servicing requests
Read access to all imagemap files
Execute access to all Oracle Application Server binaries and program files that the Web Listener must execute
Write access to the log and error files
Read access to user directories )
Thanks.

Thanks. After a few more days testing. We finally figure out where it went wrong. We changed user/group from node manager. ( from Oracle/dba, installer, to nobody/nobody). After that, we only changed $ORACLE_BASE/admin/ows/SITE_name/httpd-host_name/listener_name to be read and write accessed by nobody. We forgot to change owl.cfg to be read access to nobody/nobody. After we changed that. It starts fine.
Thanks again.

Change user profile when he is alive.

Hi, guys. I have 5 users(2 not very important+3 very very important). And when hard time comes... i need to limit cpu usage of the first 2 to give others to do their job. At the same time i cant't set low cpu usage by default for these two guys... This will be not efficient.
How can I change user's cpu usage on the fly? With out forcing them to login again.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is not possible on the fly.
This is statement from concept guide. Ch:20
"If you set resource limits, then a slight degradation in performance occurs when users create sessions. This is because Oracle loads all resource limit data for the user when a user connects to a database."
Which means that all resource limits will not affect the running session, you need to force login once again if you want to change resource parameters.
Also check parameter RESOURCE_LIMIT is to be set to TRUE.

I have resetted the settings on Internet Explorer, I was able to sign into Skype on IE, but then it wouldnt still allow me to use the skype application to type the password in, I then installed Skype from IE and it still doesnt allow me to type.

Changing user login in single user mode?

Hi my computer (server10.3) is no longer booting up (stops at the blue screen just before the login).
only 2 things have changed since last time restarted
1) changed user login in in the prefs to automatic as my name
2) installed a security update
I am wondering - if I can get into single user mode - whether i can change or force the login details
thanks

Hi John,
   You can get into single user mode by depressing <Command>-s after the chime and holding it until you're in single user mode. Once you get there, I recommend that you run the following:
/sbin/mount -uw /
/usr/sbin/diskutil repairPermissions /
Repairing permissions is the classic first thing to do when you have problems after an update. After that, if we can help it will depend on your posting the error messages that are printed to screen before the login. If they get scrolled off the screen, you should be able to get them again with the command "dmesg".

Problems with my Apple id since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: you're password was reseted but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hackd

hi everyone,
since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: "you're password was reseted..." but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hacked ?
Best regards.

I'll add my problem to this list as it sounds similar. First a little background. This is a problem I think we will see from a lot of long term users, so here is my story. When .Mac was first made available I signed up and was given a new apple ID [email protected] At this point I already had an Apple ID that I was using for just music purposes (apps didnt't exist yet) but was told by apple I would have to give it up. They could not merge IDs and would not change them. The end result was getting a new Apple ID and having to redownload all my purchased music over P2P or burn it and re-rip to remove the DRM. Fast forward a bit to a time when Gmail is getting bigger. I'm invited to try it out and I decide that I'm going to stop paying $100 for email, as I never really used he other features iDisk, photo sharing etc, and syncing contacts, calendars and mail was just as easy through gmail. Now years later we have iCloud. I have to sign in with my outdated .mac ID, at this point I have for too many apps/music/shows to drop that ID. When I sign in with that .mac Apple ID I get the automated iCloud message telling me my new email address is [email protected] However when I go to send email from my iCloud account it is using .mac as the sending address and the mail will not go through. I can't change it in the mail app or in settings. I'm kind of at a loss as to where to go next. I'm stuck with a defunct email address as a username that is more or less a key to thousands of dollars worth of content, and a new email address that won't function and nobody at Apple can press the right buttons to help clean it up. Some kind of system should be in place to change a user ID. Maybe once a year or once every other year. **** at this point I would even pay a one time fee just for my user name to be rid of that old .mac extension.

Changing users with WNA Configuration ??

Is there any way i can log out a change users when using WNA configuration ?
For example, in a certain moment i am logged in as userA.domain.com, then i want to log in as a differnet user, say, userB.domain.com, but when i tryed to log off, and login again the user is always userA.domain.com.
Is there any way a can logout and the log in again as user userB ??
thanks

I'm not sure whether you want the server simply to run as some other user other than "administrator", or if you want it to execute as a different user account for each client connection.
If what you want is the server simply to run as another account, you need to start it differently. For example, on WinNT/WinXP, it is possible to run the server as a Windows service. A service can be configured to run under any user account you choose, which should solve your problem. As for how to run the server as a Windows service, I recommend using the freeware here:
http://www.kcmultimedia.com/javaserv/
I was able to use this successfully without a lot of trouble. If your environment is Linux etc. I am sure there is a way to change the account under which a process is run, but I don't know enough about it to tell you how.
However, if what you want is for the server to operate as a different user for each client conection, I think that would be much trickier. You would probably need to spawn a different process for each connection using JNI to write some platform-specific intefacing to accomplish the account switching.

When downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user. How to change user?

when downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user. How to change user?

Unfortunately there's no way around this. you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
Sorry.

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Change User password not working in SAP ME 6.0

Hi,
In SAP ME 6.0 SP01 6.0.1.0 Counter 40, the activity "Change User Password" does not work for me or any other user.
The activity window (Netweaver) shows, but in the top it says "An error occurred - contact system administrator".
This is the output from the default trace file. Seems my user is not authorized, but where do I set this authorization?
Br,
Johan

Hi,
Change User Password screen is in fact user self services screen of NW UME and to access it, user must have Manage_My_Password action. Installation and Security Guide ask to assign this action to all roles.

Is there any way to change user operations on multiple tracks at once?

I have a complex project (99 tracks, dozens of menus and scripts). I need to make one version of this DVD for the end client (teenagers at health clinics) who will be forced to view it in a specified way, and another version for educators (staff at the clinics) who will be allowed to fast-forward and have access to a menu from which they can jump to different points in the DVD.
I have different menus to serve as "first play" for these different versions so that I can easily switch between versions when burning disc images, and I have set up GPRMs to make navigation different for the two versions automatically. My problem now is that I want to disable forward scan, next program, root menu, and title menu for the client version. As far as I can tell, I have to do that independently for every single track and menu. Bleah. This is especially annoying since the DVD is still in development, so I am continuing to change small things and will need to keep both versions up to date as I do.
Is there any way to select multiple tracks/menus and change user operations on all of them? Or any other work-around or script that could do it? I thought this would be a perfect task for the automator, but I'm not very familiar with that application and don't know how (or if it's possible) to create new actions other than the ones that are available.
Any ideas?
thanks!
Julie

Thanks. But the disc inspector only appears to let me change things like where the title menu button takes you, not detailed user operations. I have pretty much given up on this being anything other than a giant hassle, but if anybody knows whether a script could do this, I would be eternally grateful.

Why can't I use the trackpad to change users?

I have a June 2009 MBP. I updated to Maverick's recently, although my problem dates back to Lion. When I log out to change users the trackpad does not allow me to click on another user. The mouse will respond to the movement, but when you try to tap or click on another user to log in it does not work. My magic mouse also doens't work at all once I log out. Right now I keep an old USB mouse handy just for switching users.
Any thoughts on why this happens or how I can fix it?

When login screen appears, try to hard click the trackpad to register the click.
Tap to click will be only enabled after you login.
Best.

Problem with Notifications on Create User/ Change User Password

Hello,
I'm having a problem sending emails to users when an account is created in OIM.
I added a notification to the user and user's manager on the Create User task in the Xellerate User process definition but the emails are not being sent.
I know that if I create another task with the purpose of sending emails and invoke it through the response in the Create User task, it will work.
My aim is to avoid adding tasks for something OIM should be able to do OOTB.
I'm also unable to send an email when a password is updated.. I did the same thing as for the Create User and I know the task (Change User Password) is being invoked by looking at the logs but the emails aren't being sent.
Has anyone ran into such problems?
I'm having these problems in the Xellerate User process task.. i've added notifications in other process tasks (mainly approval tasks) and they are working fine.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am just confuse with your response.Have you added the "Password Updated" task in xellerate user provisioning process?
Now if you changing password in OIM profile it will trigger "Change User Password" task not the "Password Updated" task and even if you add "Password Updated" task on Xellerate User provisioning task you can't see this task in Resource Details.
Now assume if you added your notification on "Password Updated" task of any resource which user is provisioned to even then when you change oim password it only trigger "Change User Password" task.So try to have your notification on "Change User Password" task.
Please clarify so that I can response correctly.
Regards
Nitesh

I can't update my apps because Apple User ID has been disables? changed user ID and password for Mac but can't seem to find way to change phone logon?

I can't update the apps on my iphone because user ID defaults to [email protected] and that user ID has been disabled. Can you tell me how to change user ID for apple on my phone?

did your purchased that apps using that email address or apple id? if the answer is yes, you need to contact iTunes to re-enable your apple id.
If not, you can change the sign in account by going to settings>store
