I cannot change any user account icons

I cannot change any user account icons. Under the Default icons it says "No Items". Any new users are set up with a tennis ball with no other options. In the initial set up, there were a lot of choices. Now they're gone. It there a missing file?

Yes the missing user icons is unexplained and nothing I've tried has resolved it.
It seems to have occurred as part of the 10.8.2 update for me.
No user shows any of the default or custom user icons available in the users system preference. All the Apple icons are present in the /Library/User Icons folder as well as custom icons but they do not appear within the system's panel period. No icons appear there. You are able to add icons to it -per user. Any done in this manner are saved in that user's preferences so this does not affect the system level. I have tried removing preferences. I have tried removing the icons and adding them back including as root but all changes are applied to the user only. I have run Diskwarrior, repaired permissions, etc. And nothing changes this.
I cloned the image to another laptop, deleted all preferences from main library, restarted, logged in expecting it to be a preference issue. Still no user pictures shown for default user. In case the original users were corrupt, I created a new user and logged in with it. It was given one of the OSX pictures randomly chosen by the system. I logged in as user and still no pictures are shown. Tried to do a reinstall of 10.8.2 combo update and system refuses saying I cannot be done. Booted from recovery partition and it allowed an internet recovery.
No change. Took a brand new laptop and used user migration to copy the users over to it with all settings. Broke that system as well. Repeated creating new users, etc and no change. This is really annoying. I can repeat migrating users only and then partial settings to try to narrow it down but its time consuming.

Unlock db user account thru OEM.

Hi,
Is there anyway we can unlock database user account thru OEM.

Is there anyway we can unlock database user account thru OEM.ALTER USER SCOTT IDENTIFIED BY TIGER ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

Automate unlocking a user account

automate unlocking a user account by users themselves in case of the following
1. User accounts that get locked on entering a wrong password
2. User accounts that are locked due to "Inactivity End date"
2. can we write a script, to change the password of a user ? are there any functions or API avaialable ?

Are you referring to the application users? If yes, then you could use FND_USER_PKG API or FNDCPASS (FNDCPASS can only change the password).
Please see old threads for similar discussion -- http://forums.oracle.com/forums/search.jspa?threadID=&q=FND_USER_PKG&objID=c3&dateRange=all&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001

Help. Cannot create another user account

I am trying to add another user account but systems preferences will hang whenever I choose Accounts. It works fine otherwise (any other selections can be made with no problems). When I press accounts it will say loading accounts but never go anywhere from there....

then something is wrong with the accounts pref pane itself.
it's located in /system /library/preferencePanes.
try reinstalling it from the SL install dvd using Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
then reinstall 10.6.2 combo update. see if it works after that.

What can I do?

Hi Intesabra,
Have you made any modifications to the machine before the issue?
First of all ,I would suggest you to update the machine manually.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\Check for updates.
I also suggest you to perform a full scan with the antivirus software to eliminate the virus issue considering this issue is a little wierd. We can do this in safe mode to improve the scanning quality.
Run "services.msc" to check the status of "User Profiles Service" and ensure it is running.
Run "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" or "sfc /scannow" to check the health of the whole system files.
Considering this issue occurred recently, we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point.
Best regards

I cannot log into user account with old password after using migration assistant.

I used Migration Assistant to move only my Settings and Users from my Power PC (User name RLE 5) to my Mac Pro. Because of what I have read in these forums I did not migrate applications or and files/folders. I will do that manually. After migrating I tried logging in to my user account RLE 5 on my Mac Pro, but it is telling me I am using the wrong password. I used the same password I used on my Power PC, but with no luck. On my Mac Pro I went into System Preferences>Accounts>RLE 5 account and changed the password. I then rebooted and tried again. No luck.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
Thank you.

What you propose would not solve the problem I am having. I must not have been clear about it. So I will elaborate.
I have a Power PC with 10.5.8. The admin user account name is RLE 5. I need a password to log into my root user account on my Power PC.
Then I bought a used Mac Pro with a clean install of 10.7.5 and no password set up yet for my admin user account. The admin user account name is Mac Pro. When I turn on the computer it opens to my admin user account where I have access to everything.
I used Migrations Assistant to move my Settings and Users from my Power PC to my Mac Pro. That seemed to to successfully.
So I now have four users on my Mac Pro: RLE 5 (the admin user from my Power PC with the password), Mac Pro (my admin user which does not require a password), and two guest user accounts.
I turn on my Mac Pro and it opens to my Mac Pro admin user account. I don't need to sign in. No problem.
I log out of Mac Pro. On my screen are the four user accounts. I click on RLE 5 (which was my admin user account on my Power PC that I migrated over to my Mac Pro) to log into that account and it asks me for a password. I type in the password I used for my Power PC. It keeps telling me it is the incorrect password.
I cannot log into my user account RLE 5 on the Mac Pro. I am being told I have the incorrect password. I've gone to System Preferences>Accounts and changed the password. It doesn't make a difference.
Also I cannot log into the Guest User account that migrated from the Power PC to the Mac Pro for the same reason. I have also tried to change the password for that Guest User account also but with no luck.
Another interesting thing has happened. I decided to give my Mac Pro admin user account a password by going to System Preferences>Accounts. But when I do a test to sign into my admin user account Mac Pro it tells me it is the wrong password. Luckily I can reboot the computer and it opens to my Mac Pro user without asking for a password. But if I log out of Mac Pro and try to then sign back in with the password it tells me it is the incorrect password.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Please help! Bizarre login/user account problem

In 24 years of using Macs, this is the most frustrating thing I've ever faced and I am in desperate need of help.
For the entire story of my circumstances, see below. The short version of my problem: My auto-login user account is corrupt but I can't figure out how to bypass/interrupt it so I can log in to a different user account. Is there a way to use Single User Mode to do this - to get to the regular login screen where I can enter a different user name and password???
I follwed the steps outlined by Michael in this thread, but it did not work
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1124380
Any expedient help is greatly appreciated, I'm in dire straights...my Mac has been down for a week with this problem and my work is suffering.
Thanks in advance,
-Nelson
Here's the long version of how I arrived at these circumstances:
I have a single (admin level) user account on my new Mac Pro, with auto-login enabled. The home folder is on a separate internal drive (bay 2) from the OS/applications (bay 1). Out of nowhere, I got the error "You are unable to log in to the user account. Login failed because an error occurred." I was not able to login to my machine. When I tried to boot from my bootable clone backup, got the same error. Tried to boot from the Leopard install DVD, got the 5-language kernel panic screen. Off to the Apple Store.
It didn't occur to me at this time to mention my Home folder being on a 2nd drive, that was my mistake #1. They ended up replacing the logic board and RAM riser cards, neither of which was remotely related to the problem. In the process, they were able to create a new admin-level 'test' user account, and got the machine up and running again. At this point they noticed that there was no other user/Home folder present on the startup drive and at this point I told them that it was located on drive 2. That drive was not appearing in the finder, so apparently it had croaked - and knowing this pretty much explained the original problem, to me at least.
I get home, log in as Test, delete my old user account, create a new user account and put the Home folder for this new account on drive 3. My stupid mistake #2: I used the same name for the new account as my old account, and mistake #3, turned auto-login to this account back on.
But at this point, everything was still working, and I commenced to try to recover my lost Home folder from my Time Machine backup and figure out how to restore all of my system settings, which were wiped out with the creation of the new Test user account. I'll skip over some of the other problems I ran into with Time Machine at this point and get to the real issue: after a couple of successful restarts and logins to my newly created user account (the one with the same name as my old account but with it's Home folder in a different location), the ORIGINAL "You are unable to log in to the user account. Login failed because an error occurred." error has returned.
Now I'm back where I started, and can't figure out how to log in to the Test account that resides on my startup drive, because auto-login is enabled for the 'broken' user account - even though the Home folder for this account is located on a working drive.
I've done tons of searching and can't figure out how to use Single User Mode to login to Test. When I try the login command, it says 'login incorrect', even though I am using the correct user and password. Help!!

well, something is really messed up with those accounts so I would create a new admin account, log into that and go from there.
To do that [enable the root user|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1278], safe boot, log in as root and create a new admin account, also while you are at it disable the auto login.
You can also work from the root account but I would recommend against it. It's not really safe.

Cannot unlock my Admin account, updaters fail, more...

After installing SL, I can no longer unlock my Admin account. When I click the lock to make changes, it says "Authenticating..." for a second, then stays locked. When trying to update applications (I've tried several), the "Install" button dims for a moment (like it's starting), then nothing happens. In System Prefs, when I click on Security, it says "Loading Security..." and nothing happens. I went to Keychain Access, can't unlock System keychain either. Ran Keychain First Aid, no problems reported. I re-installed SN, nothing changed. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

Logging in with the newly-created User account ("root"), everything appears to be fine. Padlock is unlocked and I can access my original User account and unlock that, etc. I can also see and change Security settings in my System Prefs. However, there is no HD icon on my screen, only my two external drives.
that's not a problem. you can change finder preferences->general to show internal hard drives on the desktop.
When I log out and come back in with my original User name, everything is still locked out just like before.
that's expected too. but you didn't follow all my instructions. log in as root again, go to system preferences->accounts and create a NEW admin user. then log out from root and log in as the new user you just created. do you have the same authentication problem when logged in as the new user?

Help... multi user accounts wont recognize ipod

I purchased the ipod nano for my husband as a present. We have one computer, running XP with multiple users. I installed the ipod under my user account and installed itunes6 fine. I was able to add music and pictures under my account. When my husband logs in under his user account. Itunes is there but the ipod does not show up under sources. It does show up in his account under my computer as a hard drive. How do I get itunes to recognize the ipod in his account?
Also I purhased additional ipods for my kids can we all use the same computer?

Tracy - I have the same arrangement as you do - I have 2 IPODs (wife's 5th gen 30Gb and my 4th gen 60Gb). You have to install the IPOD software and drivers (not ITunes) under BOTH user accounts and install the USB drivers and restart windows after it finds the new hardware and mass storage device.
XP is very user specific, so software and drivers loaded for your account do not all transfer to your husbands account on the PC. You will have to install the drivers / software for each IPOD for each new user individually.
After you get XP happy with the new hardware added, open ITunes, register the IPOD through ITunes, and point to where you want to store the library for each IPOD. If you intend to boh share the same library, point there and all should be happy.
Also note, if you have ITunes open in one account, and switch users and attempt to open ITunes again, it may give you some issues relating to library locations open from other users, etc. I would recommend that you log off each user, and use ITunes as a single user under your own log-in.
Hope this helps, and keep us posted...

I cannot reset my user account password...

After upgrading to Lion, several old user accounts appear on my login list (all of which are administrator status.) I tried to save the settings to automatically log in to my most current account, but the password does not match, and I think I will have to reset it. Resetting my master password did not make a difference, and in System Preferences/ User & Groups, I selected "Allow user to reset password using Apple ID" but cannot find any resetting options from there. I would like to try to reset my account password versus creating an entirely new account. Any suggestions are appreciated!

So what happens when you go into the mail settings to input the correct password?

Creat new admin cannot access old user accounts

i got a macbook running os x 10.6.8 i forget the admin account's password i created new administration account using command+s and typing following commands
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
now i can not access my old data i got 80 gb hard drive i can only access 6 gb of it how can i access my old user accounts and all of its data
thanks for help in advance
regards
hardeep

Does the old user account have the same name as before , or has it been changed to 'xyz (deleted)' ?.
If it has a usable name, just go to System Preferences - Accounts & create a new one with that exact name.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents
You can then logout & into the 'new' one.
If the name needs changing : follow https://web.archive.org/web/20130919225809/http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428
rather than the current version at Apple
If you want to continue using the new account you've already made, but access the old folders :
Select the old account home folder in Finder, then use Finder - File menu - Get info (command I). Open the 'Sharing & Permissions' section at the bottom, then click the padlock icon at bottom right & authenticate with an admin name & password.
Click the + button & add your new account name to the list, then select it & change 'Read only' to 'Read & Write'.
Now click the gear icon at the bottom & choose 'Apply to enclosed items...'

Cannot access primary user account - even with Install CD

I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how to solve a OSX problem for a friend that ran into some problems on his iMac. For some reason, he wasn’t able to log onto his user account – the only one on this computer. He didn’t try to change his password, but something strange must have happened.
We tried to reset the password with an OS X install disc, but I couldn’t even find, much less access his user account. Thanks to the help of some folks at the Genius Bar of an Apple store, we were able to log onto the Root account and create a new account. I tried t recreate the original user account, but the computer wouldn’t allow it, as that account was already being used. If that user account was still active, why wasn’t I able to reset it with an install disc?
I’ve rebuilt the volumes with Disk Warrior, and repaired permissions with Disk Utilities. I’m at a loss on how to deal with accessing the original user account, which has a lot of important data. I’ve copied the user data to an external drive, and I’m thinking I might be able to import various files – email data, photographs, and various documents, but I’m hoping there be an alternative to what seems like a tedious route. Other than using an install disc to reset the password to the user account it can’t seem to recognize, are there any other ways to gain access to this account?
My friend’s computer is a G4 iMac running, I believe, 10.3.9.

There are several possibilities as to why a user account may
not be correctly available or a password to it reset to fix it.
One of them may be, if the short name of the computer or of
an account was changed by the user; and later the system
may appear different or changed, with some of the user acct
settings or preferences no longer as they were prior to that.
There is a way to create a new admin level user account and
then move the older user info into the new account; then go
in and delete the other one. I am not certain as to how to do
this; but the topic has come up in these discussions, and the
general path is about the same from Panther through Leopard.
A few details may be named different, but similar as things go.
• Mac OS X: *How to change user short name* or home directory name:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1428
• How do I change owner's name in my Mac:
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/howto_change_owners_name_applemac.html
While these kinds of details may not be behind the exact problem in
the computer in question, directory and user account issues do often
have similar causes. Often, they are user-caused events. If the general
Directory of information on the hard disk drive has a problem, the use
of a third-party disk tool such as Disk Warrior is usually advised. If that
were needed, usually more evidence across the system would appear.
There may be a way to use a Setup Assistant to recreate a new user
experience and start over with a new admin account and user name.
Then go into the system to ferret out the old user info.
+Sorry I can't be of more help; as I am being distracted by an elderly+
+person who can't figure out why I am online or what it means to be.+
Good luck & happy computing!
