How can I delete a user group that my computer will not delete?

I tried to remove a user group from my desktop following the procedures given. I could remove all but one user.
This is the one I want to remove. How can I do this? I have 4 user groups. Why?, when ever I had trouble and called AppleCare
they had me install a new user group, which I never removed.

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 Mac 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. Is the output what you expect?

  • How can I use active user session that's in an application scope Hashtable?

    First of all, is it possible to use the same session after a user exits and then returns?
    Second, if it is possible, then please tell me what I need to do. So far, this is what I have been doing...
    1.) The user submits login credentials
    2.) The user is authenticated.
    3.) The user does not have an existing session, so a new one is created.
    4.) The user closes the browser.
    5.) The user returns to login page and submits login credentials.
    6.) The user is authenticated.
    7.) The user has an existing session, so it should be used.
    This is where I'm having trouble. All active sessions for my application are stored in a Hashtable. I have been using <%@ page session="false" %> so that a new session is not automatically created. Each time before I create a new session, I check my Hashtable to see if that user has an existing session. If a session exists for that user, then I would like to continue using that session if possible. I have used the methods request.getSession() and request.getSession(false), but a new session is always returned.
    I could create a new session, copy the attributes from the old session(which is stored in my Hashtable) to the new session, and then invalidate the old session, but I'd rather not do that.
    Is there a way that I can use existing sessions that I have stored in my Hashtable?

    First of all, is it possible to use the same session after a user exits and then returns?No, I don't think so. Let me explain why. When the server creates a session object for each client, it needs to know which client is making the request. Remember that HTTP is a stateless protocol. Every time a client makes a request, it sends some sort of session id to the server to let the server know who is trying to make the request. The server will then check to see if a session object exists for that particular client and if so, it will make sure that the max inactive interval (maximum time alloted for that client's session) has not been exceeded. If every thing is okay, then the client can access the session object to get values that were previously placed there. There are many ways that servers try to keep track of clients. One way is to have the clients write the session ID using cookies. But, many people like disallow cookies. So some servers do what is known as URL rewriting. That is, they will write the session ID on the end of the query string. This can also be accomplished programmatically, but it can be taxing to do. Anways, the point is that the client and the server have to have some sort of link between each other and that link is the session ID. So, if the browser is closed, the session ID is lost. That particular client will be forced to get a new session ID the next time the following code is executed:
    //create a session object and set its values
    HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);>
    Second, if it is possible, then please tell me what I
    need to do. So far, this is what I have been doing...
    1.) The user submits login credentials
    2.) The user is authenticated.
    3.) The user does not have an existing session, so a
    new one is created.
    4.) The user closes the browser.
    5.) The user returns to login page and submits login
    credentials.
    6.) The user is authenticated.
    7.) The user has an existing session, so it should
    be used.If you really want to do something like this, you could make up your own ID and store it as a cookie on the client. I've never tried anything like this before so you would have to do your own research. Are you sure you want to do something like this. There is a reason why it works the way it does. There is also a reason why you want to keep the session timeout value some what small. Let me give you an example of some craziness with sessions. A client we once had wanted to keep their sessions open for 4 hours because they said there clients simply did not like to log in all the time. I nearly gasped when I was told we needed to do this. When you make the session time out large (i.e. the maxInactiveInterval( )), then session objects stick around longer in the server. Let's say a client logs into the server and receives a session object. Then, the client makes a few requests. The server knows to keep the session alive as long as the time between requests has not exceeded 4 hours. Then the client closes the browser. How is the server suppose to know that the browser was closed. Well, it doesn't. It just knows to check times between requests. So, that particular session object won't be garbage collected until the session times out. What if a whole bunch of clients did this. Yucko. The server would have a whole bunch of session objects living in memory. What a waste. This is all above and beyond the typical security problems that can arise from having a session open for so long. To make a long story short, you really shouldn't do what you are trying to do unless it is the nature of the app.

  • Adobe CS4 Indesign plugins missing when installed on brand new MacBook Pro. How can I get these missing plugins? Indd. files will not open

    Please Help!
    Adobe Chat doesnt deal with old products
    Apple Genius Bar says to talk to Adobe.
    HAD a 2008 MacBook Pro with Adobe CS4 installed
    now have a brand new MacBook Pro (and used my time machine to back up from my old mac) and when trying to open InDesign files - gives a list of plugins that are missing and will not open the document.
    I'm a graphic designer- so this is not an option..
    Please Help!

    You can install Adobe Programs ONLY from the originals installer which is provided from Adobe. Time Machine (which is a form of migration) will not result in working Adobe programs. As Bob said, use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, which is also working for CS versions, to wipe out everything from Adobe and start with a clean installing.
    I am not sure, if CS4 is running on Maverick, at least it is not supported officially, your are here alone. It might be so that you have to upgrade your software to a later version.

  • How can i change the user name that i have --lion.

    hi all,
    i was wondering how to change my username.  the one im referring to is the one that comes under the library icon. it is also the one that shows up under user when i launch my activity monitor application. 
    this is seemingly a different username that i use when i log onto my computer or verify changes.

    There should be something called "System Preferences" and then "accounts" go to that. There you can change it.

  • How can we apply a user/group filter in jps-config.xml?

    Or even better, if using WLS is there a way to use each Authenticator's filters?

    Ours is not a Desktop Application, but we want to handle Authentication(Which authenticates the userid and password by making a Tuxedo call) and add the Principal to Subject in session, so that ADF Authorization and securityContext can be used as is,
    but doing this with Custom Authentication Provider in weblogic needs me to have a lot of Tuxedo Service related jars in weblogic/system classpath which i feel is not right thing to do, as the same jars are required in application also, which means i will have the jars in class path twice and i need to deploy the jars to both places everytime there is any change.
    Is there any way by which i can set Authenticated principal to Subject in the created session from within Application?

    Hey westerman111,
    If you're looking to produce have your display include the solution information from previous solver steps, you will need to buffer the previous data. The way to implement this in a Control Design & Simulation Loop is using the Memory.vi found under Control Design & Simulation > Simulation > Utilities > Memory.vi. It will allow you to save previous information generated in the simulation environment for letter solution steps.
    I've attached an example that should get you started in using the Memory.vi.
    I would also make sure that what you're looking to accomplish is suitable for the Control & Simulation Loop. I know you mentioned you were new to LabVIEW so I wanted to make sure you were heading off in the right direction. Is there a particular reason why you are using the Control & Simulation Loop instead of a standard While or For Loop? The Control Design & Simulation loop is unique in that it calculates the solution of a dynamic system at a prescribed time step and ODE solver. It also provides the tools to interact with the model you are solving during execution. However, if you are simply looking to perform data acquisition and measurements (instead of dynamic model simulation) I would recommend using standard LabVIEW functions.
    Here are some useful references for getting start with both LabVIEW and the Control Design and Simulation Module.

  • My iPad2 will not play videos after I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1.  How can I fix it?at?, My iPad2 will not play videos afteri upgraded to IOS 5.1.1.  How cani ix that?

    I have an ipad2.  Ever since I upgraded to the IOS 5.5.1 I am having problems playing videos on Netflix or YouTube.  I do to have this problem on my laptop, so it isn't in my wireless router.  I have cleaned out the cache on the iPad and that didn't help. I've restarted it too. 
    I hope someone has an idea how to fix it.  I'm lost without it now.
    Thanks.

    Do the videos start to play and quit? Do they not start at all?
    Close all apps and restart the iPad and then try YouTube or Netflix again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also try resetting/rebooting the iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Even if your the internet is OK with other applications doesn't mean that there isn't an issue with the way that the iPad is connecting to NetFlix and YouTube. You can always try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • How can I change the settings such that the phone does not vibrate when I receive a message in silent mode, but vibrates for calls?

    I'd like the phone to vibrate when I receive a call when it is in silent mode (as it already does) but I'd like it to not vibrate when I receive a text in silent mode. I know how to set both (calls and texts) to not vibrate in silent mode, or choose no vibration for texts when loud or silent, but not what I just mentioned. Thanks.

    Try this - Settings > Sounds > Text Tone > Vibration (at the top) > None.
    Edit - just read the last part of your post closer and I'm not aware of such an option.

  • How can I get rid of a stuck update which will not install or cancel?

    I asked for updates to add-ons. One update turned out to be for McAfee Site Advisor. I restarted the computer but after restarting the update shows as "This update will be installed when Firefox is restarted" even though it had just been restarted. I tried restarting again, twice, but there is no change. I tried to cancel the install but clicking on Cancel does nothing. So I cannot install the update and I can't get rid of it. What now? The other updates were OK.
    Firefox 3.6.20, XP Home/SP3.
    Thanks.

    If files already have been downloaded then you need to remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
    You can delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
    C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;user&gt;\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Hi, after turning on Voice over and then turning off the i pad 2,  I found that it would not turn on again as the locking code which always worked  till now,  2121 is not recognised. A voice can be heard when trying to enter the 4 letter code stating the letters

    Please can you tell me how I can resolve this issue?
    Thanks  Derek Brown

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • How can i install ios 7 on my ipad, it will not update to this it is still on 5.0

    I cannot get my ipad to update to the latest software it is still on 5.1.1 and is saying 'your software is up to date' ,  however some apps keep asking for a most recent software version

    It's too bad that ipads that are only on the market for three and a half years are for many, obsolete because they can no longer be updated. They make some apps useless because they have been upgraded to an ios system that you can't use.
    In case you need to update your apps, you might want to upgrade to a newer ipad. They're expensive, but you might consider a trade-in and get money toward a new ipad. Something you might also want to consider is the Apple certified refurbished store (online only.)
    They have ipads that come and go, sometimes quickly. Each comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty, including 90 days phone support. They come with a cable in a new white box. Shipping is free. We have refurbed ipad 2s and they have been great.
    If you sell your ipad1 you can use that money toward a nerer ipad. Gazelle.com is taking ipad 1's back (all gb) for $70.00 dollars. Sellyourmac.com is giving $81.00/16gb, $86./32gb, and $90./64gb for an ipad1 in good condition. And you can make a counter offer. Casforyourmac.com only gives quotes after you give in address, so can't help you there. And as designphotoguru pointed out (see below) they'll add $25.00 to your highest offer. If you counter offer to sellyourmac.com and they accept it, then go to cashforyourmac and they'll addd $25.00. So you could end up with over $100.00.
    While most would go for the newest to keep updated longer, note that the ipad 2 16gb is still being made so ipad 2 still gets the updates, and ipad 4's are only a little more $ than the ipad 3 which was discontinued after only months on the market.   
    So please take a look at the post below and hope you enjoy whatever will make you happiest even if that means sticking with your ipad1. (our family does not feel the need to always have the newest.)
    Hope this helps.

    Nov 15, 2013 11:22 AM (in response to Pet co)
    Hello I was wondering if anybody has advice on the best place to sell my used iPad online?
    Right now I am looking at three different options:
    Gazelle.com
    # SellYourMac.com
    CashForYourMac.com
    I noticed that Gazelle and SellYourMac do not offer very high prices for my iPad, but they do give an instant quote.  I got a much better quote from the websitewww.CashForYourMac.com and also I noticed they have a promotion code "HolidayBonus" that guarantees $25 more cash than Gazelle or SellYourMac.  I submitted my quote request and within about 24 hours I received a quote that was, as they promised, over $25 higher than Gazelle or SellYourMac.  (In my case it was an iPad 4 with 64GB and my CashForYourMac.com offer was over $75 higher than Gazelle.com)
    Having sold devices to all three companies in the past, I can tell you they are all good options, and they all offer free shipping, fast payment, and a fast and easy selling process.  So it really comes down who offers the most money - I ended up going with Cash For Your Mac because $75 makes a big difference and even though they don't have as much history, my experience in the past selling to them was great, with good email communication fast PayPal payment within 24 hours after they received my shipment.
    Does anybody else have any suggestions on these three websites or comments on the best place to sell your used iPad  Thanks for your input!

  • How can i transfer my songs to my new computer? not using an ipod!

    Okay, not that the whole ipod hard drive situation is convenient anyway. I mean I didn't even realize that there was a certain way to save the files in need of transferring the songs. Here's the situation. I was using my boyfriend's dad's computer till I got mine, and I got mine only a week before coming to Japan. I was crunched for time, and I guess I didn't research it thoroughly, but knew I could use my ipod to transfer the songs. So I downloaded the songs onto my ipod. It wasn't till later when I realized why it wasn't working. Well now I'm in a bit of a pickle because I won't be able to get my ipod hooked up with that computer till next May. My boyfriend is coming to visit however next month, and was wondering if there was a convenient way for him to save the files, short of 50 cds, to allow me to transfer my music when he gets here. I searched the forums, but they all seem foreign! Can anyone help me?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Are data DVDs expensive? and where can I find them? Once I get them, can I use the same steps as transferring songs using my old ipod? Couldn't find anything on transferring songs not with an ipod. Do I have to change preferences before saving them onto the DVD's. I can't seem to find that page again, but it seemed pretty specific about the steps I needed to take before saving the files onto the ipod and after hooking it up with the new computer. Can you help me with this?
