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.

How to find out the user from the Jobs queue in Report server

Hello All!
I have a doubt about finding out the user from the scheduled jobs queue. Say I go ahead and schedule a report on Reports Server how can I find out the user name. When I view the jobs using showjobs I could see that the DBMS_JOBS table has a column under "Job Owner". But it invariantly shows it is "rwuser". So is there a way to find out which user has scheduled which job?
Regards
Shobha

hi,
The below tables will give only the name .
USER_ADDRS
USER_ADDR
USER_ADDRP
USR02
i think you need email address .
you can use this Tcode : su01d
and give the user name and excute it
i hope it will help you.

How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I use LabVIEW 7)?

How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I
use LabVIEW 7)?

Hi,
Take a look at this example, it uses property nodes to select tha
active plot and then changes the color of that plot.
If you want to make the number of plots dynamic you could use a for
loop and an array of color boxes.
I hope this helps.

HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

How do I compare two csv files and not disable the user if the username is found in the 2nd file using powershell?

Hi Guys
I have two csv files with the following headers and I need to import both files into the script to check whether the StaffCode is present in the Creation/Renewal of Contract csv in a DisableAccount Script so I can stop any action to disable the account as
the staff has renewed the contract with the company so the account should not be disabled.
However my accounts are still being disabled. I am not sure now to construct the query so that it detects that the account is to be left alone if the staffcode is present in both files
I does recognize that the $staffcodeN in the renewal file matches the $staffcode in the termination file
but still proceeds to disable or set an expiry date to the account anyway based on the termination file.
How do I stop it from doing that?
1)In the Creation/Renewal of contract file the following headers are present
- TranCode,StaffCode,LastName,FirstName,SocialSecurityNo,DateJoin,Grade,Dept,LastUpdateDate,EffectiveDate
2)In the Disable of contract file the following headers are present
- TranCode,StaffCode,LastName,FirstName,SocialSecurityno,LastDateWorked,Grade,Dept,LastUpdateDate,
My data is not very clean , I have a-lot of special characters such as = , ' ,/ and \ characters to remove first before i can compare the data
Thanks for the help in advance.
Yours Sincrely
Vicki

Hi Vicki,
This Forum has an insert-codeblock function. Using it will make your script far more readable
Your script is missing some parts, it is impossible to follow the problem.
You are performing the same string cleaning action on $opencsv2 for each element in $opencsv, when doing it once should suffice. Why not start it all by cleaning the values and storing the cleaned values in new arrays?
The Compare-Object function is great, why not take it out for a stroll on these lists, it might just safe you lots of unnecessarily complicated code ...
You are creating a new $Domain, $Root and $Searcher object each iteration, when doing it once should suffice. Probably not much of a time-saver, but every little thing contributes.
Try pinpointing the problem by doing extensive logging, not only by writing which action was taken, but writing the inidividual information (variables, mostly) before evaluation occurs. Your if/elseif/else looks sound, so if it's still not doing what you
want, the ingoing data must be different from what you think should be there.
Cheers,
Fred

How can I make a survey automatically identify the user in the results (so that it won't be anonymous)?

I am not sure what information to provide. Here is what I am trying to do. I am trying to create an HR questionnaire with multiple choice questions and several multiline textboxes to capture comments. I want to send it out by email address and/or embed the questionnaire somewhere on the company's intranet website. But we don't want the questionnaire to be anonymous. If someone makes a particular comment, we want to be able to communicate with the person who made that particular comment. How would we be able to trace the person? By email address, or by user ID?

How to execute BAPIs by getting the input from the user through the browser

Hi,
I have created a simple xMII transaction using BAPI. It is a simple BAPI with one input. Now i want the transaction to be executed by getting the input from the user through browser. Once the user enters the value and clicks on a button, I want the result of the BAPI to be displayed in the grid. How to link the BAPI/transaction with applet/Javascript coding.
Thanks.

The first thing I would recommend would be for you to collaborate with your colleague Vinodh, since his/her recent thread is very similar to yours: Calling a BAPI from web page
In your case, the iGrid applet will run the Xacue query template and automatically display the results from your output parameter.
I would encourage you to take a look at the sticky thread at the top of the forum entitled "MII Manufacturing Templates Updated" since this MII project is full of samples for you and your colleague to learn from.

How do I delete the old User and create my own name and settings?
Really, the best way is to "fool" the system into thinking this is a first run system. To do this, you need to do the following
First, boot into single-user mode by powering the system while holding the cmd-S key combination down. This should bring you eventually to a black screen with a Unix terminal display. Type the following three commands (that period before AppleSetupDone is very important):
/sbin/mount -uw / <cr>
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone <cr>
shutdown -r now <cr>
What should happen is that when the machine reboots after the last command, you should get a "Welcome to MacOS" routine which will ask you for user information and set up your new account using that information.
After you get that done, you should, one way or another, be able to delete the folder of the old user in the Users folder, though you may need some help with that as well.
