Forgot password and cannot find file named "Multi-User Prefs" to trash

hi- i have a Power Mac G4 with Mac OS 9.0.4. I forgot my password. I tried to boot the iMac with PowerMac G4 Software Restore CD.
In System Folder (on the hard drive), I could locate Preferences folder but i could not find the file named "Multi-User Prefs"
Please suggest what I can do to reset my password.

"I tried to boot the iMac with PowerMac G4 Software Restore CD."
You need to boot from the System "Install" CD(hold down c key after you restart).
Go to the hard drive click on System Folder then click preferences then trash Multiple Users Preference!

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted, but it did not open upon completion and now shortcut does not work and cannot find file to run 4.0 in the firefox folder. Tried restarts and reinstalling 3.6 which now also won't work for me. Ideas?

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted yesterday. Seemed to download normally but did not automatically start following download even though that option was checked. The shortcut now is broken and efforts to fix it fail because the file cannot be found. Checked the firefox folder and do not see a file to run firefox. Tried restarting twice with no luck. Then tried multiple times to reinstall 4.0 with no success. Then tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3.6 with same result.

OK. Got it figured out. Disabled my virus scanning software and the download worked perfectly. Should have thought of that before now.

VM Import Win XP EA VDI3 fail and cannot find file

Guys
Have struck a snag in the VM pool sitting on a Solaris 10 U6 ZFS iSCSI target.
Have configured storage pool and start import of desktop.
We see the data transmission b/w iscsi initiator and target, but cannot confirm the location of the imported VM on target.
However the cacao.0 log shows import as successful.
Proceed to start VM.
VirtualBox cannot mount IDE disk (vdi image file).
Any sugestions ?
Jeremy.

Preface:
We follow the standards as demanded by course documentation given by us in training sessions for Sun LS:
1. Tail the logs
2. View the VB interface for activity and other details (but do not play, and same if is VMware)
3. Always work from the web interface.
OK, so the word "start" means click with left mouse button on the "Start" button on the Virtual Machine screen in VDI (accessed via port 1800/1801).
(Aplos but have spent days on this and found this to be the most grievous issue as the question will come of not me but trainees)
Let's get back to the original issue - where are the files placed on the iSCSI storage ?
How can we confirm on the Storage device the files are written ?
Why does the cacao log file indicate all activities are OK but the VM started after import fails to locate the vdi file (attempts to make ISCSI mount - hence the requirement for looking at the Virtual Box interface).
Is the iSCSI target limited to OpenSolaris / OpenStorage or can the 2510 be used for a small deployment of <100 VM's ?

Forgot password and cannot publish updates and edits.How do I retrieve?

I forgot the password for i web
How do I retrieve or get a new one
so that I can edit and revise site?

Applications are, I guess, in the Application folder.
There usually is no info about iWeb where you host your website.
Somewhere in the control panel where you host your website must be info about your password.
Perhaps in the Help/FAQ/Support pages? Can you see something like "FTP". A button?
Can you remember the time when you signed up for the service and were given the password? Where was it written?
Oh, and when you contact your webhoster, do not mention iWeb.

None of the links in my TOC or INDEX work. Cannot find file is the error message.

The files are on a networked drive. Win7. FM 8. I've renamed files. Regenerated. Created a new book. Nothing works.
I do have hyphens and underscores in the file names but no other special characters.
Need help urgently.
The error message is:
Cannot find file named
\SOL\Data\TechDocs\DRAFT\Shiva\OperatorManual\096-0461-001C-1.
fm.
Make sure that the file exists.
Note that the TOC and INDEX are listed in the book w/o a path while the body chapter has the entire path (above) listed in the book view.
Thanks

IIRC, FM8 had an issue with a path having more than 5 (or 6?) sub-folders. Try bringing the files up a few levels or create a mapped network drive down to the lower levels.

Subscription cannot be used with multi-user device...

I just received an email message stating "Subscription cannot be used with multi-user devices" and "Here's a quick reminder that Skype's subscriptions are for individual use only and cannot be used with multi-user devices such as PBXs"
I'm not sure why i received it, I am the only user and I only call out via my Iphone wifi and, occasionally, my PC.
Could anyone please explain this to me?
Thanks - Steve

Hi Steve,
Basically as long as you don't make subscription calls from more than one device at the same time there shouldn't be an issue.
I'll look into this messaging as it seems to be bit misleading.
Could you check your email, I sent you an email asking bit more information around this notification.

What are the results of trashing multi-user prefs?

Hello to all,
I've forgotten my password to my Owner account, and I'm aware that to reset it I have to trash Multi-User prefs whilst booted from a CD. I know that doing this will delete all my accounts and passwords, but will it also delete all the files in these accounts? Also, will it delete all the files in the Owner account?
Original iBook G3 Clamshell Mac OS 9.2.x 288MB RAM, 20GB HD, 300MHz

Hi, bananaboy -
Since it is a file and not a folder, the Multi-User Prefs file can not contain the files in the individual accounts - if it did, it would be larger than all the other info on the drive combined.
When you trash the file Multi-User Prefs, no other files get trashed - they can not. All that disappears are the passwords and other account settings that are stored in the Multi-User Prefs file.

You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password. If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID. There's no way around this and no one else can help.

Reinstall on both.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
Restore your iPhone to reinstall iOS. Be sure to do this while connected to your computer and iTunes.

"cannot find file" after formatting and moving!!

Wanted to have iTunes library included in Time Capsule backup. So had to reformat external hardrives where all my songs are from Windows do OS. Copied everything on other HD, reformatted HD with OS, copied back all songs. HD still has same name "MUSIC", but iTunes cannot find files.
Changed in iTunes preferences the location of files to ensure it searches in the right place AND also replaced with text editor in "iTunes Music Library.xml" file all links with new address of HD (now after reformatting to OS I found it to be slightly different despite still same name).
But iTunes still cannot find the files. Everything is the same as before, HD name, directory structure, file names, etc. ONLY difference is it all is on "OS formatted" drive. Don't want to lose ratings and playlists of over 15,000 songs....is there still a solution?

The moment I "drag out" the Tunes Library File, then there is nothing left there, and when I open iTunes it is empty.
That's as expected. That file is the database iTunes uses that keeps track of everything, so when you then launch iTunes, it's starting from scratch.
I can import the Playlists from the XML and they do appear, but still no songs, all is empty. If I try to reimport from the new location, then they "do not fit into the playlists", meaning ratings etc. are lost.
Then you apparently didn't get the XML file edited properly; it's not easy to do.
Why does the simple location function in iTunes Preferences not work?
It does, when used as designed. The preference is where new additions (imports & purchases) will be stored. It does not change the location for existing files.
Put the original library file back. Then launch iTunes, Get Info on a representative track, and look at the path to where it thinks the files should be and compare that to the actual path. Any difference at all will break things. If there are differences (drive name slightly different, any difference in folder names/structure, etc.; letter case counts), try correcting them in Finder and see if that gets things working again. If not, then you'll have to use the Add to Library command to get back your tracks which will lose all your ratings, etc.
Where does iTunes save the links to the original files so it can simply be changed?
In the iTunes Library file, which cannot be manually edited.

Installed iTunes 11.4.0 and cannot find how to view files created by apps or screen displays for moving icons. Where did it go?

I recently installed iTunes 11.4.0 and cannot find how to view the files created by some apps on my iPhone (and iPad). There appears to be no way to view them as there was in the previous version. Also can't view screens and icon positons to manipulate them in iTunes. Any one no how to find them, or if they have been purposely removed from 11.4.0?

First, take a deep breath ... enjoy life.
Upgrade to the latest version 1.4.1. It's a free upgrade. It however will not alleviate your frustrations.
You can move a directory in Lr by clicking and dragging to a new location within the Folders panel. To create a new folder on a new drive ensure that no folders are selected (hint: click All Photographs in the Catalog panel) then click the + icon in the Folders panel. You will be presented with a dialog to choose or create a new folder.
To move selected photos to a new directory first select the images then right click the destination folder. You will be presented with several options including moving to the destination folder or creating a new folder under the destination folder.
You can also move images outside of Lr. Review these links:

Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play. Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html

I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

cannot restore ipod, forgot password and id please help
thank you

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

IPlanet plugin for WebLogic not working - cannot find function named wl_init

Hi,
I have been having this issue for the last two days. It relates to
IPlanet plugin for WbLogic. Following is the error I get:
[17/Apr/2003:11:41:26] config ( 2069): func_exec reports: cannot find
function named wl_init [17/Apr/2003:11:41:26] failure ( 2069):
Configuration initialization failed: Error running init function
wl_init: unknown error
Here is my environment:
SUN E-250 Server
Solaris 8.0 with recommended Patch-set
iPlanet-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP4
Web logic 7 SP2
Here is how I have edited magnus.conf to include the following lines:
Init fn="load-modules"
shlib="/usr/iplanet/servers/plugins/lib/libproxy.so" func
s="wl_proxy,wl_init" Init fn="wl_init"
#ServerRoot /usr/iplanet/servers/https-cablevision5
..... rest of the file ..........
As you have noticed I have put everything regrding plugin in one line.
I have also used various other combinations of breaking this line
into multiple lines but no use.
What I have also noticed is that if I change the name of libproxy.so
to some other arbitrary file name that does not exist, even then the
error message does not change. So it looks like the library is not
even being loaded.
The library file is owned by root and has permissions to read and
execute for everyone.
I will really appreciate is I can get any help. I have noticed that
there are folks who have posted similar problem, no one gave an answer
to them. Please be more generous this time in furnishing with your
opinion.
Thanks
Jamal

I will try and be as descriptive as possible. I hate the posts that
dont give any help.
Anyway you did not mention anything about your obj.conf configuration.
Here is how it should look, e.g.:
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="wl-proxy,wl-init"\
shlib=/usr/local/netscape/plugins/libproxy.so
Init fn="wl-init"
<Object name="weblogic" ppath="*/weblogic/*">
Service fn=wl-proxy WebLogicHost=myweblogic.server.com\
WebLogicPort=7001 PathTrim="/weblogic"
</Object>
Check the following url:
http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/nsapi.html
Ok,so you probably have those in there. If not, then please check
that you have directives in obj.conf and the magnus.conf as well.
Again the service line should be all one line.
Next, are you proxying by path or by suffix. I.E. do you want
everything to go to weblogic or just .jsp. You can configure either
way. This will change your directive. Specifically ppath means proxy
by path. To proxy by file extension (or what i call suffix) then look
at this url for specifics:
http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/nsapi.html#exts (notice the
anchor in the link)
Post how it goes...
