I have no Admin account now, and keeps asking me to: Type an administrator's name and password to allow this.
i've installed the new beta Yosemite. After i found i didnt like it, i decided to return to Mavericks. Now, at the installation process i dont know what happened and now i dont have any admin account. so, the system keeps asking me to Type an administrator's name and password to allow this. and i cant do anything, because i only have an standard and a guest account. How can i make my standard account an admin one. Also, this makes me sick, because i cant install or configure anything.
ps. i regret about installing Yosemite beta. not good at all
these are some screenshots

Do you still have a Recovery partition? To see if you do, hold down the command and R keys whilst booting and erase your boot drive and then reinstall the version of OS X that you last paid for or downloaded.
Call back if that doesn't work...

Type an administrator's name and password to allow this
I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few days ago.
There is now some updates available for the computer on the Apple Store which I unfortunately can't download anything as a message saying an error has occurred keeps turning up, 3072.
I read stuff on this forum about closing the other accounts that may be using itunes...still nothing
It now asks me to type an administrator's name and password to allow this.
I realisez that my account was actually able to be used as an Administrator on the computer as it wasn't previously set up.
When I go to System Preferences to allow my account to administrate the computer, I actually need to unlock the lock on the bottom left in order to make some changes.
However it's asks an administrator's name and passwork in order to make some changes.
Seems like I am a stranger of my own Mac as I can't do anything.
Any suggestion please? as the computer has been running so slow for the past few days, I'm hoping after a software update everything will be back to normal.
Many thanksA few ways, this might be easiest...

Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... give the new User a different name than an existing one. -

I Installed "Eclipse" and "Java SE 6.0" on my macbook pro. This message apears when I try to open it. I'm unsure if this is just a new safety feature on mountain lion or a serious concern. I'd like to be sure before I open it.
Thanks in advance.Alright, so in this case I imagine it's trying to allow a non app store application/unidentified developer application to run. This must be the setting/one of the settings that is changing. Why does it say always run? Is it warning against the worst possible comsequence to allowing this?

I recently went to open my windows live mail,which normally opens because it has my login and password saved. Now it opens in firefox and I have to retype my login and password everytime I open my mail. I would like when I open my mail not to have to retype my login and password as this is why I have it set up in the original windows mail anyway. So I have attempted to live with this problem by adjusting the options to save my password and when I close out of firefox and try to reopen it later in the day I have to retype my login and password again.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a month agoSee this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??
Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

I keep trying to purchase something in the iTunes Store but it comes up with "Your account is temporarily unavailable" "Store unable to access my account info" But I have checked my account info and everything is up to date.
I have some money from a card still on my account that I would like to use.This has been an issue with some users for close to 24 hours now. I've been getting the error for the last 5 or so hours myself.
Having problems is understandable, it happens. and if this is related to the iCloud hack reported yesterday it is good to know Apple is trying to fix the issue.
But it sure would be nice if there was an official statement from Apple concerning this. -

I tried to Purchase on the i Tunes store, but forgot security questions. Not even Customer Service is able to help me. How can I spend the 20 bucks I have on my account now if even the phone assistants can't help me? I can't rememeber any answer to any of mu questions and I can't even register my product (iPod Classic) even though I purchased it 6 months ago. Customer Service held me on the line for 30+ minutes asking me all the time if I rememeber one anwer to my questions (to which I repeatedly said no) and there seems to be no way to circumvent that security system, not even with my second email, also registered on My Itunes. Isn't there any way for me to get those 20 dollars back I already have in your store or at least reset my security questions if I don't rememeber?
Thank you very much.qwerqsr, Please contact 1-800-My-Apple, about this issue. The account security team should be able to assist you. Please have your password and the ability to log into your account via appleid.apple.com.
Thanks,

I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud no longer show up in my Mail program on my iMac. How do I return to one account and see my iCloud folders on my mac?
I went to Notes. Showed all notes. Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud. I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed. It did. I deleted the other two notes. I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts. The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account. The warning comes up: This will delete all IMAP notes on your device. Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad? -

I used to have a itunes account and made a new one which is this one but i noticed that i have 1.00 on my account now and the one from before. is their a way i can merge both my balances to buy the new angry birds game!??
Hi Jacob...
A $1.00 credit or an authorization hold ...
The $1.00 charge is just an "authorization hold" > iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About credit-card authorization holds that will be credited back to your account usually within 24 to 48 hours.
is their a way i can merge both my balances to buy the new angry birds game!??
If it's a $1 credit from a redeemed iTunes gift card, sorry, but Apple's policy states that Apple ID accounts cannot be merged > Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
