IMac initail setup hangs when creating user account picture.

I just purchased a brand new Imac. When I attempt to create my initail user account I am asked if I want to take a new picture for this user account.
The Imac then hangs when I click on the check box to take a picture. Can someone please advise me on this procedure?

It should work, but either skip that part for now, or better yet...
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk or Reinstall.

  • Setup Stuck At Creating User Account Screen

    I created a Mavericks USB flash drive and booted from it, wiped the hard drive and am doing a fresh install. Everything goes fine until I set up the first user account. Once I click "Continue" it just hangs there.
    I've tried this three times now. Second attempt I rebooted and it recovered to that screen, but it made me enter different information because the original acount had been created, but it never got past the "creating..." screen.
    The third attempt I reformatted and reinstalled the OS, but still got stuck at that screen.
    Any ideas?

    How did you reformat again after getting hung up on the "Creating Account"? I could never get back to the (or a) screen to reformat... I just took that advice and created yet another account and bypassed the login, etc. and then once at the desktop, I rebooted holding down Option/Alt so that I could start over. I even tried booting from my 'old faithful' GParted disc, but no joy, no matter what I did, I was presented with the Welcome screen for account setup.
    I am currently installing Mavericks after my second reformat and will report back how it goes. I would have liked to been able to avoid going all the way through the setup just so that I could reboot into setup...

  • Access Denied creating user accounts through vba

    Hello,
    I have a MS-Access application that runs on a Windows 2012 server. My customer logs into the server using RDP. The MS-Access application is started up automatically by means of the environment variable in the user settings. The customer needs to be able
    to create new windows users for this application, simply by clicking a button.  
    The VBA script to create users works, because when I start up the MS-Access application with my own logged on Administrators account, the new users get created. If my customer tries it, he gets 'Access Denied' error. I have added his user account to
    the Power Users group, but that did not solve the problem. I also tried to make him member of the DCOM Users Group, the 'Access Denied' error remains...
    I do not want to give him administrator priviliges, because he is 'just a customer'...
    What do I need to do for this setup to work? I tried altering some DCom settings, but frankly I do not have enough knowledge to feel comfortable with this. Hope anybody can help me out here...
    best regards, Rob

    Is this a standalone server? Only administrators can create user accounts, so there is no work around for that. You could look at something that has the administrator account/password stored and launch PSEXEC or something else in an elevated session behind
    the scenes but that is a security volunerability because the credentials are stored.
    If the account is being created in an Active Directory environment you could delegate permissions to the appropriate OU for your customer.

  • When creating users in apex,how can i limit pages depending  the user?

    Hi,

    Thanks in advance

    Yoel -
    We're talking about end users of applications you develop in Application Express, not users that login to the development environment.
    You do not have to use Application Express to create user accounts for your application. Your apps can authenticate using SSO, LDAP, or other methods. If you use Application Express user accounts, that is only for convenience which may not be convenient in the long run if you have to manage those accounts, but that's up to you.
    These Application Express accounts have no relation to database accounts. This situation is slightly different when using the XE database.
    Your application's authorization logic determines which users can access the application, pages, or other components, that is, it is not the user account properties, per se, that control application access but rather the application's determination about the properties of the authenticated account in use that allow it to control access. For example, you don't create an account and give it attributes that say this user can access application ABC and pages 1,2, and 7. Instead, you might give that account properties like SALES MANAGER ROLE and the the application would allow only users with SALES MANAGER ROLE (whatever that means) to access certain pages.

  • Authorization when creating contract account

    Dear gurus,
    I am now have a problem with authorization when creating Contract Account for Business Partner with the scenario: each user only have right to create Contract Account for some BP Number Range that I determine in their Role. Is that possible to do this scenario?
    Pls help me,
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    May be you can set the same in the User Authorization roles where in you can restrict the user to create Contract account for certain BP only. May be you can work along with your Basis consultant to solve this issue or you can also try for validation rules if it works for this scenario.

  • Creating User Accounts So I Can Set Parental Controls?

    My nine year old son loves to use YouTube to watch video game videos and apparently there are NO parental controls or any kind of filters on YouTube. The majority of the ones he finds are ok but there's about 15% that are just plain shocking even to me. Its pretty sad the things that people put up there. I hate to have him never be able to get online again so I want to set some sort of filter where I can block content according to keyword but I just cant figure it out at all. So I tried to set controls over the whole MacBook but it tells me that as administrator I cannot. I cant figure out how to create non-admin users though. Searched all the forums and guides, etc. but no answer.
    Thanks, so in summary, I just want to know how to create user accounts if thats the right term.
    I am using a MacBook, running Mac OSX version 10.4.11.

    Hi
    Apple menu (top left hand corner) > System Preferences > Accounts. Click the lock to authenticate. Just above the lock are two icons; a 'plus' and 'minus'. Click the 'plus' icon. Enter the name of your son, tab down into the next field and that should autofill for you with the information you placed in the name field; tab down again and enter a password; tab again to key in the password again; don't tick the box that says "allow user to administer this computer"; click 'Create Account'. You should be prompted with a window asking if you want to leave automatic login on or if you want to turn it off - turn it off. You'll see why later on. What you should see after this has finished is in the left hand window at the top your account details with your name and underneath it should 'Admin' and below your account details will be your son's. Underneath his name it should say 'Standard'.
    Click on his name to select it and now click on the Parental Controls tab on the right hand side of that window. You should now have the option to enable and configure control for the 5 applications listed there: Mail, Finder & System, iChat, Safari and Dictionary. Explore and configure to your hearts content from there. When you are happy quit out of System Preferences and select Log out from the Apple Menu. You should now be presented with the Login Window displaying not only your account but also the newly created one for your son. Log in s your son and test to see if what you've set as a control has worked. Keep going backwards and forwards between the two accounts until you are happy.
    Bear in mind there is only so much you can do.
    It's virtually impossible to block everything potentially morally harmful without basically stopping your son from having any access at all. You could look at supplementing Parental Controls with the built-in filters in your router - if you have one? If you don't then consider getting one. I'm struggling to think of a router for residential use that does not have some sort of built-in web filter?
    The tab button is the key immediately to the left of the 'Q' key. It will have an arrow going from left to right printed on it.

  • Suspect Adobe ARM creating user account

    Hello
    I was helping a user with a problem about 2 days ago. The problem is that everytime Windows reboots the netbook shows a newly created User Account called icsokern.
    The user has a Samsung netbook, Windows 7 Starter & Service Pack 1 as well as ESET AV.
    Trying to delete the account doesn't make any difference as the account is recreated after a reboot. However, securing the account I put in a password as well as changed the login time access to 0. When I try to change the applications that the user account can access I see only Adobe ARM as ticked. No other application is ticked. This leads me to believe that Adobe ARM could be creating this account, but there is no logical explanation why?
    Checking for a malware reveals no alerts. No quarantined files and Windows' Event Viewer shows no alerts regarding system or application errors.
    Having said the above I decided to ask on the Adobe forum to see if anyone else has had this experience and if so what did they do to fix this?
    w

    Latest Adobe ARM installs task in the Windows Task Scheduler.
    If you see this task, can you try to disable it and check if new User account gets created?
    If new account no longer created after task is disabled, you can conclude that Task Scheduler does it for some reason, which will need to be investigated.

  • Create user account in Child Domain

    Hi Ashraf,
    Your query is not clear. Do you want to restrict enterprise administrators from creating user accounts in child domain?
    By default, Enterprise Admins group is part of Builtin Administrators group in the child domain.
    When child domain is introduced, by default Enterprise Admins group is added to Child Domain\Administrators group (Builtin local Security group).

  • I typed my email wrong when creating an account. How can i get my $15 itunes card credit back? help!

    Hi Guys. Okay. Here is what happened. I was helping my friend create an account and he gave me his e-mail account but i accidentally misspelled it. It was a company email so i am certain that it has not been claimed since it ended with example (@companyname.com). My question is how do i go about retrieving my $15 dollar itunes card that we used when creating the account? Has anyone experienced this already? If so how did you fix it? I would really appreciate everyone's help. Let me know. Thanks in advance. =)

    You have to contact iTunes support
    They don't have a telephone call center
    You can submit a form on expresslane.apple.com and an iTunes store advisor will respond with you over email

  • Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.

    Ok, so I have a problem where Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.
    I have documented this problem on my blog here:
    Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it Rhyous's 127.0.0.1 or ::1
    This has my hardware details, etc...
    I consider myself an expert at troubleshooting (being in support for over 10 years including time as a Lead Technician doing Windows 2000 support focussing on performance), and have checked quite a few things to try to pinpoint this issue, but I just can't find the cause.
    I am asking others if they have seen this issue. I need to know if it is only on my workstation, or if others are seeing it as well.
    Have you ever right-clicked, chose new folder and then had to wait 45 seconds for a new folder to appear.
    Then the same thing when you try to rename the new folder, a hang of about 45 seconds before the new name take affect.
    Anyway, let me know if you have experienced ths.

    Hi,
    I suggest you temporarily uninstall the antivirus program to check the issue. You need to make sure that you have the installation file to reinstall it later.
    If it does not work, I suggest you also test the issue in Safe Mode and Clean Boot to determine if this is a hardware or a software issue.
    Good luck!

  • Frame hangs when creating PDF

    I'm running Frame 8, unstructured, on Vista. Also running Distiller 8.
    I have a book file and was creating individual PDFs of the chapters doing Save As PDF on each chapter. After three weeks of doing this Frame starts to hang when creating the PDFs. Nothing different in the files, just some editing of commas, mispellings etc. Sometimes just repaginating for page numbers. I noticed, strangely, that I first had to delete the old PDF, it wasn't overwritinng. Then that started hanging so I was changing the name of the file. Then changing the name wasn't working. 
    Frame was opening Distiller but it wasn't doing anything else. At some point it doesn't even open Distiller. Just hangs Frame. Doesn't matter if I reboot, it has no affect.
    Then, doing absolutely nothing, it starts working again ... for a while. There's nothing intricate about these files. They're pretty vanilla. Lots of text, a handful of tables (or not) and some graphics in eps or tif format.
    What is going on here?
    Dottie M.

    From everything I have read, it is better to Print to a PDF than to use Save As....and also set your default printer to pdf. Although some I have read use the Save As PDF, most don't agree. You can give it a shot anyway....
