How to recover plist files from a deleted user home directory .dmg file

Our company is starting to have our mac users authenticate against active Directory, One of the requirement is that the local mac user account short name can not be the same as the active directory account so it is necessary to remove the local users account, we do this by removing the local and turning the home directory into a .dmg file, after the user logs in with their active directory account, we mount the .dmg file and move the files over to the new home directory, However the system does not transfer over the pervious system setting such as Dock settings Desktop background setting, and plist files how do we get these setting moved also.

there is nothing else to transfer. the problem is probably related to the fact that you are using AD. I'm not familiar with it so can not comment further.

    Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "940509".
    When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
    <li>Full APEX version
    <li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
    <li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
    <li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
    <li>Theme
    <li>Template(s)
    <li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
    With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
    how can save pdf file from apex to user local directory on button click?As Tony points out the ability to do so would represent a major security breach. The normal approach is to present the user with a download link that when clicked prompts them with a Save dialog in which they can select a location for the downloaded file.

  • Accessing files in another Admin users home directory?

    In another topic thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=798797&tstart=0
    I've posted how I somehow hosed my first Admin account, which was, foolishly, my primary working account.
    I've tried several things documented in the other thread to try to get back into the system under that login name, but with no luck. I created another Admin user, and tried using the Terminal window to creat a disk image of the original admin user home directories, but it failed with input/output error at reading a DMG file on the desktop.
    I've tried to access those folders via the new admin, but can't get in, says I don't have sufficient priveledges.
    Is there a way to change the priveledges for those folders, from single user, or current Admin terminal window? I have the password, so it's not like I'm trying to break in to someone else's files without permission.
    I've got some not-yet-backed photos and other files in the original account I need.
    Am I just screwed?

    Did you enable the root account on the system using
    NetInfo Manager ?
    Not sure what that is. I'll check it out.
    Have you considered using the OSX boot disc to reset
    the admin account password ?
    I do need to try booting from the cd, however, it doesn't appear to be a password issue - the password is accepted at the login prompt, a bad password typed in intentionally vibrates the box, the good password doesn't. Running admin utilities from the guest account with the ailing admin account name and password works. Still, it's worth a shot.

  • How do I recover lost files from a deleted user with no backup?

    So I was locked out of my account for no reason giving me an error occurred message. I came on here to get help and the guy who helped me made me delete the account and then make a new one with the same name. The next steps to recover the files that he gave me do not work and he mentions that if it doesn't work to find the files and if I do not have a back up I will never be able to recover those files. If I knew deleting the user would have a chance on loosing all my files I would have never done it! I CAN NOT LOOSE ALL MY FILE. I REALLY NEED ALL MY PHOTOS 10 years of photos. Some of the photos were in an older iphoto which was deleted after Yosemite update. WHY I DON'T KNOW. However most of my photos were in files never connected to iphoto. Can anyone please help me find and recover all my photos. PLEASE, there has to be a way. I appreciate all the help provided.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • How can I access data from accidentally deleted user?

    I was given a MacBook Pro by a family member. I set myself as the Administrator, but could not get rid of the previous owner's name on the Home folder.
    In my attempts I accidentally deleted something that made the entire computer unaccessable. I can boot up, however, all the work and applications I installed are unaccessable. I can't even open Preferences.
    I used TechTool Pro to start up and explore the drive, and found that the previous owner's name was on a folder with a red-circled minus sign. The data (considerable) was inside, but I can't access it.
    Is there any way I can get access to that data? I slaved the laptop to my iMac and transferred the folder (with 32 gb of data).
    When I tried to open it I got the message: "The folder "sandy....." can't be opend because you don't have permission to see its contents." I used Get Info on the folder and changed Sharing and Permissions to Read and Write, but still no access.
    What can I do, if anything to gain access to that folder?

  • How can I transfer iPhoto files from one admin user to another on the same Mac?

    i created a new admin user on my computer, so now my husband has one and so do i. how can i transfer our iphoto files from his admin user to mine as a shared file? i was able to do this with itunes easily but i am not able to do it with iphoto.

    You want to share the Library?
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

    How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

    How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"
    Message was edited by: marcr56

    I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
    It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
    Assuming that you are using
    Premiere Elements 12
    Add Media
    "DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
    Video Importer
    Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
    Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
    The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
    Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
    Thank you.
