Help: I ruined my Macs after adding users to HD permission

Today, I get info from the startup disk and added the users to the sharing & permission area. I gave users have read and write permission then I chose apply the the enclosed items.
After a long operation. It looks ok then reboot my intel imac.
But it keeps reboot during the startup process and never complete the startup.
Then I inserted the Leopard install disk and tried to repair the disk permission but error occur with the message "The underlying task reported failure on exit"
Thought I ruined my intel imac and I also did this to my G4 (which I dare not to reboot this time).
Please help me how to recover my both Macs. Or I need to install Leopard from the beginning again?
thanks

Thanks for the help. Unluckily, I forgot to deselect preserving user & network setting. So Leopard installed with user & network settings.
Any harm at all though my 2 Macs startup once again?
Is it safe to delete "Previous Systems"? It nothing in my user home directory and my HD space is running really low now (only 3G available).
In addition, I found a new problem with my additional HD. I also did the add users permission to it and just notice that it is locked. Anyhow I can unlock it again?
And I cannot rename the folders or file names in the startup disk too.
Thanks

  • SP 2010-After adding user from IIS is not found in central admin

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to configure my SP 2010 with Form Based Authentication.
    After configuring WebSite, STS and Central Admin I added the user from IIS , But not able to found from central admin in Form Authentication.
    I checked in database the user is added.
    I followed the below blog .
    http://jasear.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/sharepoint-2010-setting-up-form-based-authentication-fba-using-asp-net-sql-membership-provider/
    Can experts help me how to get the added user to central admin.
    Thanks
    AshisK

    I was finally able to get the FBA working. After many failed attempts, I knew there was a configuration issue which was causing the error.
    I provided connection string and provider details at 4 places, instead of the 3 mentioned  in various blogs around ->
    1. Sharepoint Central Admin
    2. Sharepoint Web Services
    3. SecurityTokenServiceApplication
    4. And finally the web application itself.
    The connection string for 2nd and 3rd will remain same however, provider details need to be added.
    After completing this step, I was able to login using Form Based Authentication without an issue.

  • How to license LR3 (Win) and Photoshop CS6 (Win) on a Mac? [was: Help activation on new MAC (pre pc user) - NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT???]

    I have been trying to get on chat with adobe, since it seems that is the only option? and have not had any success for days, any ideas how to get support????
    Thanks!
    Amy

    Doesn't like CS6 number at all, it was a windows download, but since I am on a new MAC it isn't liking it.
    For Creative Suite products, including Photoshop, the serial numbers are platform specific: Mac only or Windows only.
    As you have discovered, you cannot use a Windows serial number to license the software on a Mac.
    Since the version is CS6, you are eligible for a platform swap in order to obtain a Mac serial number.
    Order product | Platform, language swap

  • Help with a new Mac user

    Hi,
    New to MAC. Is there a way to do a restore to out of box set up? I also need to find a local group to go to to help learn about the Mac G4. Want to learn more about how to use the software. It is 9.2 os.

    derftl, welcome to Apple Discussions & the Mac community.
    You can download a PDF copy of your Mac's user manual at this link.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50018
    I doubt that you will find an OS 9 manual in any computer store. You might find a copy by doing a Google web search, or possibly in a used book store. Also, suggest you join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap
    After you join, post a WTB (want to buy). Ask for a book on using OS 9.
     Cheers, Tom
    Go to this site & see if there is a User Group near you.

  • Cannot start AdminServer after adding weblogic user to OID

    Hi.
    We have two OIDs: one is used in the production env, the other in dev.
    I succeeded in configuring SOA-dev and OID-dev so that worklist users get authenticated against OID-dev.
    Moreover I added the weblogic user to OID-dev following this guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_worklist.htm#insertedID2), so that weblogic can login and administer the worklist.
    I repeated the steps in PROD env (for SOA-prod and OID-prod) but after adding weblogic to OID-prod I cannot start AdminServer-prod:
    <Mar 10, 2011 5:31:01 PM CET> <Critical> <Security> <BEA-090404> <User weblogic is not permitted to boot the server; The server policy may have changed in such a way that the user is no longer able to boot the server.Reboot the server with the administrative user account or contact the system administrator to update the server policy definitions.>
    <Mar 10, 2011 5:31:01 PM CET> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000386> <Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: User weblogic is not permitted to boot the server; The server policy may have changed in such a way that the user is no longer able to boot the server.Reboot the server with the administrative user account or contact the system administrator to update the server policy definitions.
    weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: User weblogic is not permitted to boot the server; The server policy may have changed in such a way that the user is no longer able to boot the server.Reboot the server with the administrative user account or contact the system administrator to update the server policy definitions.

    at weblogic.t3.srvr.SubsystemRequest.run(SubsystemRequest.java:64)
    Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace
    Anyway, configuring SOA-prod to use OID-dev (simply switching OID ip address) makes things work.
    If I enable SSL between SOA-prod and OID-prod I can start the servers but I cannot login into the worklist. The same in DEV: enabling SSL between OID-dev and SOA-dev does not influence server boot but I cannot login into the worklist.
    I think the problem is related to SSL configurtaion in OID-prod but since it's 10g there is no orclsslinteropmode to disable (required to worklistapp).
    SOA is 11.1.1.2 and OID 10g.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for your precious help,
    Michael

    Hi Anuj.
    Thank you very much for you help.
    My situation is a bit different: we do not want to use two OIDs at the same time.
    In PROD the order of auth providers is
    1. OIDAuth-prod
    2. DefaultAuthenticator
    whereas in DEV it is:
    1. OIDAuth-dev
    2. DefaultAuthenticator
    Id DEV server boot and worklist login are ok.
    OIDs are v10.1.2.3 but OID-prod is updated with the latest security patches (of Oct 2010). I will raise a SR.
    Thanks again,
    Michael

  • WINDOWS 8.1 - System Tools no longer displaying User and Group Settings after adding a new LOCAL user.

    I jumped on my parents computer, which is on a domain.  I added a new local user(with my live.com login) and gave it admin status.  That's when the trouble began.
    The main user profile disappeared.  I used the command prompt fix (see other fixes) to add the missing user back into admin.  I logged back in, and it set up the account for the first time (WTF?).  I cannot access any files from the main account
    (that I logged into just fine before to get this debacle started.)
    When going to Local Computer Management --> System Tools, my users and groups tool is missing.
    I ran lusrmgr.msc only to find out that the most current version of Windows 8.1 and this is what it said "This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 8.1.  To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the
    Control Panel."   <---- Awesome!  (that was sarcasm.)
    I have spent over two hours in the User Account tool during the course of this problem only to prove that a picture of a computer is more useful that that "tool".  
    To anyone reading this ticket, the best advice I can offer you (as long as its not a crucial machine) is to back up what you can gain access to, format your hard-drive and reinstall windows and start over again.  I wouldn't recommend reinstalling 8.1,
    I would say go back to 7 and wait until 10 comes out.   Windows 8 is the new Vista.  Good luck!

    Hello AhavahOlam,
    I can understand your feelings.
    If my understanding is right, after adding a new local user in domain-joined Windows 8.1, you can’t open the local users and groups.
    Can you still add account by going to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts\Manage Accounts?
    As this computer is domain-based, it is recommended to contact the domain administrator to see if the option is blocked.

  • Can't modify users via commadmin or DA after adding services

    after adding the following services
    Authentication Configuration          
    Instant Messaging Service          
    Presence Service
    i cannot modify users via commadmin (string index error -6) or via the DA (save operation failed) nothing in the slapd logs (error or access) - after removing these services i can modify via the DA.
    is this a known bug (or a feature?).
    after modifying, i can re add the services and proceed as normal.
    thanks,
    s7

    you can try what worked for me:
    remove services from user (in amconsole web app http://jes-server/amconsole) -
    login as admin, search specific user, see their services, remove them -
    run your commadmin command - it should work now
    re-add the removed services.
