Download and administrator account

Sometimes when I use vuze or try to download a pdf from a site, I get the message that the download failed. When I look closer at the occurrence, I found the application try to place my file in the administrator account which I don;t use. Even when I change the preference to my account, it continues to try to download that account. I have given myself permission to have access to what the administrator can do. What am I doing wrong?

Anyone have a suggestion how to correct this abnormally?

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur? If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11? This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.

Administrators group and Administrator account

I'm setting up an Open Directory network and had some questions regarding the Administrator account and the Administrators Group:
1. How do you add members to the Administrators group and how do you see who is a member?
2. Do members of this group have full access to computers that are members of the domain (i.e., computer accounts listed in Server Admin). I've tried logging in as the Administrator on laptops that were joined to the OD domain, but I was not successful. I'm coming from an Active Directory background and the administrator can log into all domain computers. Logging into the OS X server as the administrator works.
Thanks!

Hi z-admin,
Have you ever gotten the answer to this?
My question is similar: if a user in OD is given FULL administration capabilities in OD, is he a "Mac domain administrator"? If not, how can I make my user a "Mac domain administrator", e.g. a person that can log into any Mac connected to my OD and be an administrator on that machine? Otherwise, I need to create a local admin on every Mac and this is a nightmare for any network administrator.
Thanks!

How can I unlock my administration account ? or How can I completely erase file accounts and administration accounts from my apple computer?

So recently my sisters and my mother bought this used computer called a "IMac's IMac" . It cost $700 . This computer is great the only problem is ... There's a LOCK on the administrator's account . And we need the password so we can download "adobe flash player 11" without adobe there's no watching videos , playing online games , or even me editing photos for my photography class. If somebody could help me and my family with this. It would be really grateful !
We bought this beautiful computer on March 17th of 2012
Oh and i'm only 13

Hello:
You need the original software installation disk to reset an administrator password. If it was not with the used computer, contact the person that sold it to you. If you have it, boot from that and reset the password.

I passed in username and password of account "A" to method "LaunchAppWithElevatedPrivilege", and also the application i want to launch, e.g. "C:\windows\regedit.exe", but when i run the service program, i found it do launch
"regedit.exe" with elevated account "A", but the content of regedit.exe is pure back. screenshot as below:
Can anyone help me on this?

You code is not dealing with the DACL access to Winsta0\Default. Only the LocalSystem account will have full access and the interactively logged on user which is why regedit is not displaying properly. You'll need to grant access to your user.
You also need to deal with UAC since that code is going to give you a non-elevated token via LogonUser(). You need to get the full token via a call to GetTokenInformation() + TokenLinkedToken.

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama).

After power down and a cold restart, I automatically restart in my Administrator Account. Running 10.8.4 with one Administrator account, one user account and one guest account. Recently downloaded and installed 3rd party software (Panorama). Installation required that I create a super user named Other with root privileges. I did so and successfully installed the 3rd party software. I powered down a few days late and when I restarted, I went automatically to my Administrator account with no login password required. I deleted the Other account, powered down and restarted with the same result - opened in Administrator. I then followed the steps to disable root user, powered down, cold restart - same result, opened in Administrator account.
Any suggestions? Any thoughts? Much appreciate any help you might offer.

I have a new PC and I am getting the message "The iTunes Library File cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I am the only one using this PC and I have Windows 7 Pro and have an administrator account. Help

Can anyone help me with this problem. ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC. I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC. I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem. I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account. Can anyone help?

A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

After trying to change permissions on my computer so others on my network can grab files, my external Hard Drive has a lock on it and I can't access files. I've tried repairing permissions, logging in under another Administrator account, using Terminal to fix the problem, downloaded BatChmod but nothing works… Any other suggestions? I have an Imac running OS10.6.8.

There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

Administrator Account and Networking

After reading some safety articles, I setup seperate administrator accounts on my PowerBook and Mini. I have an external drive attached to the Mini and since I've setup the admin accounts, I've been unable to connect to the partitions on that drive. They don't show up when I login to the Mini via Network in the finder. I checked permissions and those aren't a problem. Anybody know what to do?
Also, I'm getting frustrated with updating software. How, from my standard account, do I update software that I click through from programs to download? For example, I was alerted to an update from Vienna, clicked, the updated downloaded to my desktop, but I cannot install it from my standard account and it doesn't show up in my admin account.
Is having duel accounts worth these headaches? (I'm beginning to think that a rare virus might be less annoying! )

Separate administrator accounts for your computers tends to be overkill unless you are sharing the computers with others. Mac OS is intended to be run as admin. There seems to be quite a bit of mass hysteria out there, and, as you see, it causes you some inconvenience.
Just use a good password and keep it secret.
Running as admin is nothing like running as "Root".

I deleted my administrator account and cannot make any changes in preferences.

I deleted my administrator account and log my users & groups is locked. I cannot open it, with name and old password. I cannot restore as Lion was downloaded from app store and needs login to re download.
Help

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
dscl . -read /groups/admin GroupMembership
You should get the following output below what you entered:
GroupMembership: root admin1 admin2 ...
where admin1, admin2, ... are the names of the admin users.

If I download Mountain Lion on the administrator account on an iMac will that automatically install Mountain Lion on the other accounts/users on that iMac?

If I download Mountain Lion on the administrator account on an iMac will that automatically install Mountain Lion on the other accounts/users on that iMac?

Thanks! This is true even if the other accounts have different Apple IDs and passwords?

Can't get a downloaded menu bar to show up in a Window's user account instance of Firefox other than the administrator account

In Windowx XP, one can create seperate user accounts or "profiles" so that different people can use a computer and have their files and profiles kept seperate or secured from others. The main account is the Administrator account.
My problem is I have non-Firefox toolbars that I have downloaded and installed on the Administrators account Firefox toolbar, but I can not get these to show up in any of the seperate user accounts that I have created.
Is there a way to make these show up? If so, what do I need to do?
Thank you,
Blaine Thompson

Toolbar extensions are installed to the user account / Profile, they're not installed globally. You need to install them separately to each user account / Profile.
If you know your way around in the Windows Explorer file system, you can drop an extension into the program files Firefox\extensions\ folder and the extension will be installed globally - as each Profile is launched. Right-click the installation button for extensions an use Save Link As... to save the extension to local disk.

Why does my app store use a different account for downloading and another for updating apps?

My app store used my own account for downloading and my sister's for updating, and it keeps telling me to reset my account. I already did that the other few times it told me to do that!

Have you restored your device from your sister's backup?

When I log into my Hotmail account now, it now connects to 'microsoft windows (US)' and not to 'UK' which could be why some downloads and sending/receiving emails frequently run very slowly. What's changed and how to I revert this back to windows UK

Below is the thread from/with Windows Live Solution Center which should tell you me issues. Let me know if you need any further information please.

I would like to make some clarifications.

Hello Julius M
Sorry I haven't got back to you before now but I've had a few problems trying to make this reply.
I was using firefox as my Explorer. When I tried to open your message the system kept looping between 'hotmail logon' and 'connecting' and didn't get anywhere. Also, when I clicked on the 'reply' radio button below your message, nothing happened. ......I've now gone back to using Explorer 8 to try to reply.
to answer your questions:
>I haven't changed any information in account.live.
>I haven't changed the timezone or locale of this computer.
>I experience this latency about 3 weeks ago when a message popped up saying that it had been noticed that I was connected to the US server and did I want to revert back to the UK server. Unfortunately the message didn't stay on the screen long enough for me to click OK of for me to see who sent it. It may have been Microsoft or possibly from Firefox. Just before this, I had downloaded and installed several critical MS updates for Win 7.
>I haven't added any software to this computer recently.
>I haven't changed my ISP provider.
I have uninstalled Firefox and will try again with a fresh installation. Possibly Firefox went wibbly.
Thanks

I've just reloaded Firefox Ver 9 and the problem still exists.
Opening your link in firefox just loops and can't find a connection.
Also, I can't make a reply.
It seems that Firefox doesn't like Win Live Solution Centre or WLSC doesn't like Firefox.

It works OK in IE8 (but Internet Explorer lacks the refinements of other explorers... changability, bookmarks etc)
Hi chriswhitehead,
Since according to you, you did not change any information on your account information, therefore this is issue is not account related. Furthermore, since you did not change your ISP provider therefore this is not an internet connection issue.
It appears that this is a browser issue since you don't have problems with IE8 and the preferred browser does not work well with Hotmail. I have some suggest: please try to deactivate the firewall and access Hotmail via Firefox. If this does not work, please try to open your Hotmail via Firefox using other computer.
Thanks,
Windows Live Julius M.
Hi Julius M
I've tried again with Mozilla Firefox and it failed to allow me to properly open your reply and went into a ' connecting loop' when I tried to send.
IE8 works OK. This reply is with the Opera Browser. Let me know if you get this OK and I will advise Mozilla that their system is defective.
Regards
Chris Whitehead
