How do I get the full user name acceptable for administration approval?

I migrated my account from my older macbook pro with the same OSX.
I initially setup the account with my full username and account name the same as on the old machine - but soon discovered that the Migration Assistant wouldn't allow migration this way (the most obvious scenario).
So I was instructed by Apple Support to create a new different Administrator Account, then remove the old account and perform the Migration. This seemed to work
After completing the migration I can now log in with my former full Account Name and password (this account has "allow user to administer Computer set") however I now cannot use the Full Account name to authorize changes - it seems not to recognize the password - however I can authorize changes with the short account name and password.
How can I configure the system so it will recognize the full account name for authorizations?

Since you failed to do the migration on first boot, the full system name only applies to the original account you set up. All other accounts use the short username. Although you thought you did it the most obvious way, you didn't. The simplest way to get the new machine to act like the old one is to erase the new one, reinstall the software as described in the user manual, and on first boot DON'T create any user account, but use the setup assistant to migrate everything from the old MB. That will solve all of your issues. Afterwards, reinstall any other software that's on the discs that shipped with the machine, run Software Update to get everything up to date, repair permissions, and restart.

How can I get a full user's manual for my WX350 camera?

How can I get a full user's manual for my WX350 camera? I have downloaded all of the ones at http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=DSCWX350&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=manuals#/manualsTab But all of them give a very limited amount of information. There are many features that these manuals do not describe, and I need a "real" manual.

Unfortunately, Sony has become a tad chintzy with the info over the past few years. The Instruction Manual and Help Guide are about all there is.

How to get the full path name of a file

Hey everybody, I'm new here and in Java.
so I will explain my question by giving an example:
I want to send file from the Desktop by the "Send to" on the popup menu to my program.
I want to know how can I read the full path name and the file name, and show it on my text box.
Thanx alot

If this is a client side application then I'd say look into drag-n-drop tutorials.
i.e. drag file to your application, action listener fires, create File object giving you full name and path of users action.
If this is a web application then look into the "multipart/form-data" content type specifications on how to upload files.
i.e. user specifies file from <input type='file' ... /> type, submits, servlet receives data and recreates file locally on application server side.
If you are thinking that all you need to send a file to a program is the full path and name in a textbox its a little bit more complicated then that.
Good luck, hope that helps!

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone?

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone? When I attempt to purchase an app or update the existing ones, the previous owner of this iphone has their information displayed and asks for the password as their user name is automatically prompted?

The apps are tied to the account from which they were purchased. If the apps were purchased from the previous owners account, then they would have to be updated from that account. you should not have these apps anyway. You need to buy your own.
Read the manual. it will tell you how to sign into your account to buy apps.
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)
I would suggest restoring as new.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

Connect the AC charge to the system. Battery will charge to 100%.
But it is very bad to drain the battery to Zero. So don't make a habit of doing that.

A downloaded song cuts off at the end - how can i get the full song

I recently downloaded a new song, but the song cuts off at the end. How can I get the full song?

Try update your iTunes to the latest 10.6.3 version and see if it rectifies the issue.

My song cuts off, it played before, how do I get the full song again?

I purchased the song & its worked forever, suddenly it cuts off after 2 seconds, around the time I upgraded from 4 to 5. How can I get the full song back? The song doesn't allow me to re-download it.

All American Rejects "Gives you ****" haven't found this problem with any other purchased song.

How do I get the full user name acceptable for administration approval?
