Help with understanding the Home Folder plus User Accounts
I just got the IMac (replacing an ageing...that is an understatement...Grape iMac from long ago) and this is my first go at the OSX. My previous iMac had OS9.2
I am having a problem understanding the Home folder and the Users to a point. The concepts are fine, it is the changing of names that is the problem. When I first started the iMac and went through the set-up and finally looked at the file structure, there was the Home Folder with a name, which i guess was pre-entered during set-up since I did not enter it (lets call it JOE). There was also 1 User, JOE with all the iLife folders. Since I did not like the name, i went to the Systems Preferences, into Accounts and found that JOE is an Admin. So, I changed the name to, lets say BILL, who still is an Admin. I also changed some settings and made BILL the auto log account. OK so far I am happy. I go back to the HD and find that now there are 2 users (folders), BILL and JOE, and that the Home Folder is still named JOE butall the iLife files are now under BILL.
So I went and also renamed the Home Folder to BILL, so everything looks fine. But when I restarted the iMac latter it lost all the settings (mouse, etc.) This is really getting confusing.
Here is what I want to do (after some reasearch):
I want to change the Short Name (JOE) but so far I have read that you can not do that. Where did this name come from (basically my first initial and my last name) because I don't want my Home Folder to be named that. I found somewhere that the only way to do that is an Erase and Install. I am willing to do that since I have a backup of all the iLife files on an external disk anyways and I have not put anything new yet.
Can someone enlighten me as to what would be the best course of action....this Short Name thing is frustrating.

Welcome To Discussions kapklo!
First you need to sort out the extra Home folder issue, that was created by changing the Short Names.
The info in one or more of the articles linked to below, will help you with that.

Then you can change the Short Name using this Change Short Name The Easy Way.
Or you could do an Erase & Install, making sure you enter your preferred Short Name, during the setup process.

Can I change the Home Folder of users with Group Policy (or in another centralized way)?
I know how to change the Home folder of users from AD Users & Computers -> their Properties -> Profile tab. But this is not very practical when one has users spread across many OUs, and with users being added and removed often.
So I am wondering whether there is a way to do the same with a GPO. The closest thing I found was Folder Redirection, with which I can change the location of particular profile folders for each user, but not the location of the whole profile.
Is there a way to redirect the entire location of users in a centralized way, using a GPO or some other mean?I would recommend reading that about the management of roaming profiles: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784961(v=ws.10).aspx
You can involve the use of Powershell scripts for the management of roaming profiles:

The home folder for user isn't located in the usual place......
....or can't be accessed.
Ok so I have trawled the internet and found this to be a known problem, however mine has an extra twist.
Ok, my Mac has a local admin account, lets call it Admin, but the account I use is a network account called PBN.
This network account does not create a home folder path to the server, as such it stores a user folder in Macintosh HD/Users/.
Since buying this mac this has been working fine, no issues, but today when I log onto the machine it gets the error "The home folder for <user> isn't located in the usual place or can't be accessed", whats more is that its created a new folder labelled "~".
Things I have tried:
1) repair permissions and repair disk while booted into SL DVD
2) Right clicking while in System Pref - Users to get to advanced options to check the home drive path (Can't do this because its a network account although the profile is stored locally)
3) xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo / on problematic machine
Couldn't do this on the PBN account as it has no permissions (although it is a domain admin)
attr file no found error the admin account
4) xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo /volumes/users/ while booted into another machine with broken machine in target disk mode.
So, I am at a major loss and would really preciate any helpThe error messages regarding network homes really don't offer any specific clues as to what's wrong. The error message you're getting means one of several things - you've done something wrong setting up your server, you've done something wrong setting up your clients, your server has hardware/software issues, or your network infrastructure is bad. I'm honestly not trying to give you a bad time here, just going over possibilities.
DNS, which you mentioned, is a good place to start. You mentioned that forward/reverse lookups work, and that's a good sign. But just to be sure, have you run sudo changeip -checkhostname
If that reports back that the names match and there is nothing to change, then it's pretty certain that DNS is not the issue. Just to be sure, your clients are using your OS X Server, or whatever server is hosting DNS records for your setup?
The next step is to double-check permissions on the shares where user homes are located. The clients should also have accurate date&time settings.
The logs on the clients and server can also offer clues, however cryptic they may be, be sure to look at them if you haven't.
Also, has this setup worked before, if not, can you describe how you set everything up? I've been stymied by OS X Server myself, so I get where you're at, but the more details you provide, the better chance that Tony, Mr. Hoffman, or other folks here can offer a few more clues/suggestions.

About the Sites folder into Users accounts
Hi,
I can reach the Sites folder of users if I put a ~ after the domaine name like in : http://mydomain.com/~userx/
How to do the same without having to put the ~ ?
ThanksYou need to configure apache specifically to do that.
The whole point of the ~ is to gain access to user-specific sites. Without that character (or something similar), Apache can't automatically tell whether http://yourdomain.com/userx is userx's Sites directory, or a directory called '/userx' in the document root.
So, if you want Apache to automatically find user-specific sites you'll need the tilde. If you don't, you'll need to tell apache how to find them (bearing in mind that the user's home directory might not be in /Users - it could be a network home directory, or in some other location.
You might be able to craft something close using RewriteRules (at least to the point of catching missing directories and redirecting to /Users), but getting Apache to lookup a user via directory services to locate thier home directory is beyond RewriteRules as I know them. -
Home folder lost - user account restored to default
I installed SL last weekend, no major problems but many annoying bugs. This morning when I woke up the computer had hung - screen saver was frozen. I held down the power key to shutdown. Turned the computer back on, clicked on my user account icon, and it was like I'd just picked up a new computer... my home folder had been replaced with a "straight out of the box" home folder. Standard desktop, standard dock, nothing in my documents folder, standard library. My entire home folder is gone.
All apps are still available - they are on a different partition with the OS.
The partition where my home folder lives is now virtually empty. I used stellar pheonix to try to recover the files from my home folder, but it did not find them as lost not as deleted files. It gave me the option of recovering about 40GB of deleted files, but they were legitimately deleted files.
I have repaired the disk - no problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated...After Dubaidan and tcnsdca I am the third person in this thread who has experienced this 'wipe home directory' bug. I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard last week. By accident I clicked on the 'guest login' icon on my MBP thirty minutes ago. After about 1 minute it automatically returned to the login screen, without showing up the guest desktop, so I decided to click on the 'guest login' again. This went pretty smooth and when I logged out the message appeared that all the 'guest login data' wouldn't be saved, but returned to normal.
When logging in to my regular account everything was gone. I don't use filevault. Nothing has been renamed to something else. My home-directory still exists under /Users/username but it is just empty.
Apple should have noticed this bug report already. It doesn't feel right that Apple doesn't take immediate measures when someone reports such a bug with a high potential data loss.
I would suggest to everyone to disable the guest login option IMMEDIATELY until Apple has addressed this. I hope that Apple will come up with a swift response and a nice gesture to victims of this bug. -

Actually, your connetion pool is not created yet. It has problems. Make sure you create connectionpool successfully
first.

I have made a connection pool and 3 data sources at console. Is there a problem
with the way I have defined them. Please do let me know.

Help with understanding the show power-injector comand
I have been battling a connectivity issue between my point to point 1300 bridges. The install is new and the distance between them is about 1881’. There is no LOS problem. I wasn’t sure if it was a power issue ie. the bridge not getting enough power so I issued the show power-injector command. What I find interesting is the difference between up interfaces. The near side bridge shows interface 4 up, were the far side bridge shows interface 4 down. I have read in the documentation, that interface 2-6 should be down, but why is the near side interface 4 up? Would this be causing my connection to be dropping? Are there any major areas of configuration I should be focusing on? The output drops on both radios are high and continue to increment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually port on the power injector switch are in auto-duplex and auto-speed mode
you need to ensure external devices which you connected to power injector switch ports are not hardcoded in full-duplex, they needed to be in auto-duplex mode.
because in result of duplex mismatch you connection could be slow down and even ports may shutdown.
and also check both bridge with the latest firmware release
Cisco Aironet equipment operates best when you load all components with the latest version of the software.

Help with understanding the structure of iPhoto
I'm trying to organize my photos in Library => Photos. How are photos organized in the iPhoto Library under Photos? It appears that I have many folders within this section with Folder Names and Dates, but when I try to create a new folder, it creates an album outside of this area instead of a folder within Photos. Do I need to do all of my organizing outside of Library==>Photos, and create albums elsewhere? If so, then would I cut and paste photos from Photos to the new albums I creating, eventually removing all photos from Photos? I'm really confused with this thing. Not intuitive like a PC where I can see all my folder locations. Hopefully I will get used to this.
Yes there is a bit of a learning curve with iphoto. It's not that large but it is there.
And you know, you don't have to use it, you can just use folders like you did on the PC. It's very limited but it works.
Iphoto is similar to iTunes in that it uses a library. Everything is in the Library. So, in iTunes all your tracks are in the Library and if you make playlist, the tracks are referenced from the Library.
In iphoto, all the pics are in the Library. Photos is a view of the Library. (Events is also a view: think of it as two windows into the same room)
Mke an Album. Drag a photo from the Library to the Album. The photo remains in the Library, the album references the photo from the Library. So the same photo can be in 100 albums - and use no extra disk space. Just like the same song can be in 100 playlists.
So, no you don't cut and paste, just drag the pic from the Library to the album on the left, that's all.

"The home folder...isn't located in the usual place or can't be accessed" after 10.9 AD bind.
Okay a little backstory here because I'm trying to eliminate or identify what I feel might be a bug in OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks. Just FYI, I'm not our institution's AD admin, I just have rights to bind and query for this and that, but I can't make changes or really investigate our AD domain server/s:
So we're an educational institution with lots of adjuncts that come and go each year. Recently in August, I had about 5 cases where these adjuncts couldn't log in because of a cryptic "login failed" error. I have my macs setup to create mobile accounts without confirmation. I don't want ANY syncing going on just local user accounts created, but something in the profile creation process demands access to their network home folder. Well these 5 users were brand spanking new and somehow didn't have permissions to their own network home folders that everyone else hasn't had a problem with before. I had our admins fix the permissions, and they were able to login thereafter. Our admins are still looking for what might have caused this, but still don't know....
Recently I've been testing the same AD bind script I've always used on Mavericks. It's a simple bash "dsconfigad" customized for our institution. It seems to work successfully but on the login screen I get no usual "arrow" that allows me to back out and click "Other" and login to AD. I reseated the Ethernet cord and checked the AD configuration in Directory Utility - it was all set correctly as per the script parameters. When I clicked OK and exited out to the login screen, the Other option was working correctly. I was able to login with my own credentials just fine.
I needed to tweak my image a little so I wiped and reloaded the machine with the new image (nothing relevant to binding and users was changed). Got the same "no arrow" issue and tried the same steps, which again worked after some monkeying around. I tried to login with my credentials - failed. Now I get "The home folder for user 'my username' isn't located in the usual place or can't be located." I went into a local user admin account and tried to add my home folder manually, nogo. I logged onto a windows machine and tried to mount the same home folder in Windows - access denied - this is the SAME type of thing that ended up happening to my adjuncts. I don't know if they are related but it's certainly a strange coincidence.
How could testing AD binds change my home folder permissions, or possibly even corrupt the folder altogether? The network share/home folder that our macs smb communicate with as per the bind settings are on a windows server (to the best of my knowledge). My guess previously with the adjuncts error is that despite the fact that I don't need or want the profiles created to sync, the default options turns this on for mobile accounts even though it doesn't select any actual folders for syncing, but because it still tries some sort of "handshake" or something initially, first logins fail without network home folder permissions. Now it seems like something in the initial profile creation process might actually be corrupting the network home folder or changing its permissions.
I would post the bind script but I'm not sure it's relevant, as another mac admin in a different area ran into the same error with one of his new users and he bound manually, not with a script.
I'm kind of new to this sysadmin stuff, so does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to track down the cause of this and possibly fix it? The network share admin can fix my permissions, but if I could break it when it was working once, I foresee this happening again.Here's the script I used previously that is not connecting to AD "completely" that causes the errors mentioned (I'm replacing institution info with "xxx"):
echo -n "This computer needs to be renamed and bound to Active Directory. Please enter the XXX Inventory Number from the affixed XXX label on the machine: "
read userinput
echo -n "Enter the XXXAdmin password (you will still be asked to enter this for system configuration changes): "
read -s xxxpassword

scutil --set LocalHostName $userinput

read -s adpassword

Can anyone tell me if I need to update the script for Mavericks, and how? Or should this be working and the bug is in Mavericks itself? -
"home folder for user "....." is not located in the usual... (help)
I accidentally ran Disk Utility (repair permissions and disk) from the panther disk that came with my computer instead of from my Tiger disk. Now things are really screwed up. I can't open any user accounts and no files seem available. Most Apps seem to be there. But i can't open or even locate any formerly existing documents.
The message i'm getting is: *Home Folder for user "me" is not located in the usual place and can not be accessed*
Does anyone have any idea what can be done?
I would appreciate any advice,

I have a mid 2009 13 inch unibody 2.53GHz MacBook Pro. I'm finding that it doesn't run as quickly as it used to.
A genius in the Apple store suggested that I replace my optical drive with an SSD, however only use the SSD for OSX, applications, system and library. Keep all documents, pictures, music etc on the current hard drive.
I would be grateful if someone could help me with:
1) installing OSX on the SSD without copying across data from the current hard drive
2) transferring applications, system and library folders across to the SSD so that they still function
3) changing my settings so that OSX reads the home folder from the current hard drive, as well as all the applications' data (documents, music etc...)
However, I would like to run iMovie, with all events etc solely from the SSD to speed up the process of editing movies.
If anyone could help with this, it would be much appreciated.If you got the data transfer cable with your SSD, the procedure should be pretty simple - and there should be step-by-step instructions in the box. You're simply going to remove the bottom case of your computer (using a Phillips #00 screwdriver), take out the two screws in the bracket holding the hard drive into place (using same screwdriver), remove the drive and (use a Torx 6 screwdriver) remove the four screws that hold the hard drive in place. Then put in the SSD and reassemble the machine.
Then you'll plug up the old hard drive by using the SATA to USB cable and use the option key to boot from the old drive. I don't know what data transfer software Crucial provides, but I would recommend formatting the SSD using Disk Utility from your old drive ("Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition) and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your old drive to your new SSD (see this user tip for cloning - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4122). You needn't worry about getting an enclosure since you have the data transfer cable and you don't want to use your old hard drive.
There are a number of videos on YouTube that take you step-by-step through this procedure - many specific to Crucial SSDs and their data transfer kit - do a little searching there if you're unsure of how to procede.

How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
Hi, here's a question:
How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
The whole point being not to have to install all my apps, and move all my files each time between users.
The second thing would be to be able to modify one document on one account, and have it changed on the other account without having to copy it.
I would like to have a pro and a private account on my mac.
Thanks for you answers,
DougYour apps should not be installed in your home folder--they should be in /Applications where every user can access them.
If you want to share things between users on the same Mac, use the /Users/Shared folder. Keep your home folder private. Trying to defeat the protections on the home folder subfolders just gets messy. I've never bothered to figure out all of the problems associated with it so I can't explain how to do it.
Even with using Shared, you would need to alter the ACLs on the shared folder in order to allow both users to modify the documents.
You must create a Group in Users & Groups and put each user in that group. Then create a folder inside /Users/Shared where you want to share the various files.
Then, add an ACL to the shared folder that gives the group special permissions. on that folder.
sudo chmod -R +a "<sharinggroup> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/<sharing folder>
Replace <sharinggroup> and <sharingfolder> with the name of your group and your folder. Then, run the command in the Terminal.
With that ACL, each user in <sharinggroup> will be able to alter the files created by any user in the group in that <sharingfolder>.
Essentially, the client OS is not designed for true file sharing among the individual users. It is designed to isolate each user account from the others. -
MacWord BASIC help, please! Creating folders (finding the "home folder")
I am new to Mac, but not to Word. Where is the "home folder" and how do I create a folder to hold Word documents I've named and saved?
Hi there and welcome!
Conceptually the 'Home' folder is where your stuff (music, pictures, movies, documents, preferences, etc) is kept in the computer. Since OS X on the Mac allows multiple user accounts each user has their own 'Home' folder. When reading documentation shorhand for the Home folder may be expressed by the ~ (tilde) symbol.
To get to the Home Folder From the Finder or when saving a file, look the left of the Finder window (or the Save As window) for a picture of a house. This is the home folder. Clicking on it will take you to the home folder.
In the screenshot here my Home folder is named chas (my username on the computer)
Inside the home folder are logical locations for your stuff. You will see Documents, Music, Pictures, Downloads, and Desktop). These are all great places to save your stuff in. I wold recommend saving your Word files into the Documents folder.
You can also create your own folders on the computer. When saving a file you will always see a New Folder button in the lower left hand of the save dialog box:
Clicking this button will allow your to create a new custom folder to help you stay organized.
Enjoy! -
Our home folders are stored on a non-windows NAS device and with Windows XP and 2003 we've always got the above error when creating or modifying users home folders, even when the shares were al ready created and being used.
However this was never really a big issue as the error that popped up was really for information and finshed with a "we've modified the user properties anyway, please create the share manually" type message.
Unfortunately now we are moving to windows 7 and 2008R2, this last part of the the message is missing and it won't accept the correct value.
This issue may be in the way that the NAS device shares the folder, as only the username that matches the folder name can access the share. This behaviour can't be modified.
Is there a way to get Windows 7/2008R2 AD users and computers to behave the same way that Windows XP/2003 does , i.e. don't try and create the share just set the value in the user properties ?
The AD is still at 2003 level and we can still use Windows XP/2003 clients to make the changes but this is a bit of a limitation.The KB article is almost what we have apart from theitalic underlined
part
Consider the following scenario:
You use a domain administrator account to log on to a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
You use the Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in to connect to a domain controller.
You open the Properties dialog box of a user account.
The user account has sole access to a shared folder path that cannot be accessed by the administrator account.
You set the Remote Desktop Services Home Folderattribute to the shared folder path.
NoteThis attribute is located on the
Remote Desktop Services Profiletab.
You click Apply or OK.
In this scenario, you receive the following error message:
The home folder could not be created because: The network name cannot be found.
Note If you click Apply or OK again, no error message is returned. However, the setting is not saved.
I think the important bit is
The user account has sole access to a shared folder path that cannot be accessed by the administrator account.
We manually create the shares on our NAS and then just want to enter the path in the profile tab, I suppose the question is how to we stop it trying to create the shares ? -
How do I restore the user to the home folder permissions?
I just got an iMac from a friend and had changed the username and password for the administrator user. Then I was going to change the home folder name. I was looking at the info on the home folder (which at this point is still tied to the old user). I inadvertantly removed the user from the permissions before adding the new username or even allowing all users to access the home folder. Now I cannot access the home folder at all. How do I restore the permissions to the home folder or add the user back to the allowed users with access to the home folder?
dalefromdallas,
First you should do a clean install of the computer, while your friend may have included apps, they do not belong to you unless your friend gave y ou the install media and license codes. Considering the machine is also running 10.9.2. this machine will be forever tied to his AppleID which exposes him financially. You should get the 10.6.X DVD from your friend (I'm assuming he upgrade from 10.6.x at some point) and do an erase and install, then update it to 10.6.8 then upgrade yourself to 10.9.2 Mavericks. Then you will have a clean system, otherwise you will be working with a pretty kludged system that will probably be trouble.
Maybe you are looking for
