How to recover a deleted user account

Had a serious conflict issue so deleted a user account now i wishto recreate it but when i try to start again mac says user account name already exists so how do i re-create that user account?

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

  • How to permanently/manually delete User Account on MAC OS X 10.6.8

    Hi There,
    Can you please assist with providing instructions on how to manually delete USER accounts on MAC OS X 10.6.8.  Everyone but one user (who's account was deleted) can not log into the damain device.  As a test I tried to add a new user accout with the same name as before and even though nothing existing in the USERS folder; it states that a duplicate name exists.
    How do I delete that duplicate?  Where could that be located?
    Please let me know,
    Sonia

    Solution!
    Command to locate the hidden User Profile:
    dscl . list /users
    Command to delete the now found hidden User Profile:
    sudo dscl . delete /users/<userID>
    Thanks,

  • How to recreate a deleted user account w/ same email address

    Hi,
    I have a MacMini running Maverics 10.9.1 and Server 3.0.1. In the server, I also have the Open Directory running, but there are no Local Network Users configured at the moment.
    I deleted one of my Local Users from the server and would now like to recreate the account with the same email address as the old one had.
    When I try to do this, I get an error message from the Server>Users>New User scree saying "The email address [email protected] is already in use".
    Apparently the user deletion from the Server>Users screen did not compeltely delete the Local User from the server. How can I get the user including the old mailbox completely deleted?
    wbr,
    tatu

    Just one more piece of detail: the reason why I deleted this account was because every time someone sent it an email to address [email protected] it got delivered to [email protected]
    After the Local User account deletion now, apparently the [email protected] still works but all mail is piped to [email protected]
    So, how do I disable/fix this [email protected]>[email protected] pipe and then how do I remove the old [email protected] mail box out of the server completely?
    wbr,
    tatu

    Set it up again. If you didn't delete anything from the mail server, everything should sync right back up.

  • New Macbook Air setup problem with deleting user account

    I recently changed from a MBP to a MBA and upon completing my migration data from old mac to new one I had an extra user account. So I have my admin account and a guest account and a third account that I don't want. Upon trying to delete this account it show "deleting user account and home folder" but it has been doing this for more than an hour therefore it will not let me exit system preferences. Any help on this?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "need configuration data ... " However, if both computers are on your network then you should be able to synchronize various files or folders using backup software. However, to start you will need to enable File Sharing on one of the computers.
    For help with this select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu. Search for "file sharing." You should find several links on how to configure it on your computer. Also see Mac 101- File sharing and Tutorial- File sharing in OS X - MacFixIt.
    Once file sharing is set up you can then try a backup utility to do the synching. Most backup utilities not only do backups but can also be configured to synchronize files and/or folders. Here are some possibilities:
    Backup Software Recommendations
    1. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    2. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    3. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    4. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    5. Data Backup (Commercial)
    6. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
    7. Tri-Backup (Commercial)
    8. SyncTwoFolders (Freeware)
    9, Data Lore (Commercial - exclusively for network file transfers over Bonjour.)
    Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Hope this helps get you started.

  • How to recover a deleted library in Revel

    How to recover a deleted library in Revel?

    Hi Roman,
    Once a user has deleted files those files cannot be recovered by us.
    If you have been uploading or using Revel via the Revel Mac desktop you may be able to recover your originals if you have selected the option Keep Originals. They are stored in a file on the desktop.

  • How do I run a user account from an external HD?

    How do I run a user account from an external HD? I will be away from my desktop iMac and want to use our MacBook Pro overseas for two months with my iMac user account copied to an external drive.

    1. WARNING: This procedure is for advanced users only. Some third-party software may not work as expected, or may not work at all, if the home folder is moved.
    2. Back up all data.
    3. Copy your home folder to the desired location, which must be on a volume of type "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with file ownership enabled, as shown in the Finder Info dialog. Encryption is optional. The volume must be on a local storage device, not on the network, and it must be mounted automatically at startup — before any user logs in. A disk image will not work.
    The name of your home folder is your short user name. Do not rename it. Do not copy the "Users" folder.
    5. Select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Users & Groups
    Click the lock icon and authenticate. Right-click or control-click your name in the account list, and select Advanced options from the popup menu. In the sheet that opens, change the location of the home directory. Log out and log back in.
    6. Test. If you have problems, reverse the above steps. If you got this far, you should have no trouble doing that. If everything works as you expect, delete the original home folder.

  • How to retrieve a deleted system account (photo's not on new account)

    I recently purchased an imac and somehow i created two accounts. I asked my in-law (who has a mac) to help me delete the one I don't need. He deleted my main account which included precious photos, videos and e-mails. Is there anyway to retrieve them? This just happened yesterday. Mac doesn't seem to have the system restore like my other computer has.

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    Restoring a deleted user account
    If the account can't be restored, using a data recovery software may be the ticket.
    PhotoRescue
    Data Rescue II
    As long as you aren't adding a bunch of new files, thus over-writing old data, to the hard drive, the photos are there, somewhere.
    You may need an external drive to recover files to.

  • How to recover/restore deleted calendar?

    How to recover/restore deleted calendar?

    Actually, restore deleted calendar got the same steps as restore deleted messages. You must be a Microsoft Exchange Server account.
    1.In the folder from which the item was deleted, or in the Deleted Items folder, on the Folder tab, in the Clean Up group, click Recover Deleted Items.
    Note: If the Recover Deleted Items command is missing
    An Exchange account is required for this command to appear. If you are using an Exchange account and don’t see the command, contact your Exchange administrator.
    2.Click an item, and then click Recover Selected Items .
    Note: Your Exchange administrator specifies the retention time for deleted items. After this time elapses, deleted items cannot be restored.

  • Apple Configurator - 1.2 (Delete User Account while Checked Out)

    Hi Community,
    I have a supervised iPad that was checked out to a particular user. The user account in apple configurator was deleted while checked out. The iPad is now unavailable to check out because it is permanently checked out to the deleted user account.
    I reset and deleted all information on the iPad but since it is supervised it comes right back to the point I checked it out (which I really like). But in this situation how to I get that user off...because I can't check it back in and currently can't use it for anyone else. 
    Thanks!

    I attempted to, but if a device is checked out to a user the unsupervise option isn't available. This is only because I believe the device was checked out and the user it was checked out to was deleted. Normally if there wasn't a user checked out to the device unsupervise would be available.

  • How to create a new user account?

    Hi,
    Could you point me to the document/maunal on
    how to create a new user account for OS X 10.4?
    I somehow couldn't find that from Apple web site.
    And I found one here:
    http://www.mcelhearn.com/article.php?story=2004110211244242
    and followed the instruction:
    # echo 'henry::512:512::0:0:Henry James:/Users/henry:/bin/bash' | sudo niload -v passwd /
    but nothing happened. Either this doesn't work with
    V10.4 (which I use), or I missed something.
    Any pointer would be much apprecaited.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your responses.
    Sorry I didn't make my question clear. I meant:
    "How to create a new user account with command line"?
    The GUI (System Preference) would work. But I'd like
    to how to do it from command line (just like on Unix).
    Any inputs would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
