IMac stuck in new user registration video

Hello, I have an iMac Flat Panel 1Ghz I got off ebay. I don't know the admin username and password and performed the apple recommended startup in Single User using Control-s on startup. This worked fine as I now have reset this iMac to startup on the original Apple registration video. I fill in the new user registration info but it gets stuck or freezes up after I select this computer does not connect to the internet. Is there anything I can do before I buy a new hard drive? Any help is appreciated. I don't have the original system install disks and it has system Tiger 10.4 and it won't boot up from an install disk, it goes directly into the new registration video and gets stuck. Help!!

This information does not apply to accounts that have filevault. I do not believe that you can change the password to a filevault account with in these methods.
Overview on how to fix password problems
Try running repair permissions and check for file integrity in disk utility. You do this from your startup disk. Try resetting the password by using the passswd or try deleting the .applesetupdone file. If this doesn't work, you are going to have to trash the netinfo database. Once you get logged on, you will need to re-access your data.
Disk Utility
This article deals with disk recovery, it will tell you how to get to disk utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Change Password
Mac OS X:
Changing or resetting an account password via GUI:
Resetting a user's password
Resetting the original administrator account password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156
You do not have a CD/DVD
Changing password from single user mode:
You can also change the administrator's password from single user mode or create a new administrator account.
You need to get into single use mode for steps one and two that are listed below.
This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
Basically, you hold down the command-s key then powering on your machine. The command key has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. On a PC keyboard, it will be the windows key, I think.
1) You can change the password on an account. ( Do you know Unix. You are in a Unix single user console. ) The setup commands you need should be listed on the screen. For Mac OS 10.4.11, the commands are:
# Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
# Start up some utility processes that are needed.
sh /etc/rc
# You will probably need to press the return key once the system stops typing.
# To find out the users on the system type, use the list command. The l is a lower case L:
ls /Users
# One of these accounts will be the administrator.
# Pick one of the users which I'll call a-user-name and type it in this command:
passwd a-user-name
# and enter the new user password. You need six characters.
# You will need to enter your password twice. Your typing will not show up on the screen just
# press enter when you complete the typing.
# For cryptic information on these commands try:
man ls
man passwd
The root account isn't enabled by default. I am not sure if changing the password on root will enable it.
2) Get the Mac to set up an additional administrative account. You can then change the password on your old account.
Start with your computer power off. Hold down command-s. Power on your computer.
Type in the following:
The first two commands will depend on your release of Mac OS X. Look at what is typed out in the console to determine the exact format.
# Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write. Press return after each command.
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /var/db
pwd
#List all files. The l is a lower case L.
ls -a
#The move command acts as a rename command in this format.
mv -i .applesetupdone .applesetupdone.old
reboot
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!
Limnos adds detailed explainations:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8441597#8441597
The above the idea came from a post by JoseAranda at September 9, 2006 3:48 AM
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/howdo_i_reset_my_mac_os_x_admin_rootpassword.html
You will need to scroll down to see this post. Search for applesetupdone
Or see:
http://superpixel.ch/articles/running-setup-assistant-again/
Once you have a new administrative account, you can change the password of your old administrative account
blue apple > System Preferences > Accounts
• You can see that it is easy to change your administrator password. You can set a firmware password that you enter before your machine will boot.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
• For the best data security, you should use FileVault. Create a good logon password. Define and use a good backup plan. I do not recommend using FileVault unless you really need the security because it is much harder to recover your data should you have a hard drive problem and you do not have your data backed up.

Auto login after new user registration

Hello,
I would like to go directly to a restricted page (add session variables for username, level, etc) after a new user is registered, without first going to the login page. Is there a way to do this? I tried adding a login user behavior to my new user registration page, but it disabled the form validation on the page. I also tried copying some of the login page code (login transactions) into the new user registration page, but that didn't work either... any help would be greatly appreciated!
Steve
BTW, I am not utilizing email activation

Well I finally figured out a work around... I am sure others will run into this problem and if someone can explain it to me I would be happy. But for now this will work.
The above code that Steve U posted works for me exactly 50% of the time. It will work every other time, why I don't know. I even changed all of my temp and session directories in php configuration, changed from php5 to php4 and still no fix.
Here is what I did to get it to work:
On your registration form underneath the insert transaction you copy and paste the login transaction (that you generate on a login page).
*Change tNG_login(this is your server connection)
*Change the POST value to match your submit button on your registration form, mine is KT_Insert1.
*Modify the redirect trigger to go to the page you want to redirect to after registration.
*Change the kt_login_user and kt_login_password addColumn values to match the username and password fields in your registration form, mine are email_usr and password_usr
*comment out the kt_login_rememberme addColumn (or if you need this, modify the code to allow for it in the registration form)
I have now successfully registered a new account and had it auto-login to the user protected area 10 times in a row now, so this should be working.
If you want some sample code here it is:
// Make a login transaction instance
$loginTransaction = new tNG_login($conn_connection);
$tNGs->addTransaction($loginTransaction);
// Register triggers
$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Insert1");
//$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("BEFORE", "Trigger_Default_FormValidation", 10, $formValidation);
$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "user/confirmlogin.php");
// Add columns
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_user", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "email_usr");
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_password", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "password_usr");
//$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_rememberme", "CHECKBOX_1_0_TYPE", "POST", "kt_login_rememberme", "0");
// End of login transaction instance

Firefox is not handling Skype new user registration properly.

When I attempt to register a new skype account (on skype.com) I get one of 2 responses. One is that it brings me back to an empty new user registration form, and the other is that it acts like it finished but the user is never actually created. This was duplicated on multiple Intel based mac laptops running 10.6.x on Firefox 4. New user registration works fine in Safari and Chrome on these machines.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

New User Registration page does not launch

I am setting up a simple process to register a new user to my APEX application. At the login screen, the user can select "new user registration" button if they would like to register for a new id. Well, it was working for awhile and it stopped working sometime after I added the validations for the new registration fields. Now, whenever I launch the login screen and click on the "new user registration" nothing happens. If I bring up the "new user registration" page in the application builder, and click "run", it launches the login screen! I do have redirects back to the login screen in the event that the user clicks "cancel" or "register" on the "new user registration" page.
This is very strange. Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause or how to track this down?
Thanks,
Reid

I'll see if I can put the app on apex.oracle.com. I disabled the redirects and all of the not null validations I had. It's still behaving the way it did.
In the meantime, I noticed this oddity. It seems like there is a mismatch between the URL page # and the actual page that is displayed. Here is what I mean. Here is the url:
http://rilian:8080/apex/f?p=103:8:7659307535557230:::::
See the page should be p=103:8. This is app 103, page 8, right?
Well, that is the correct app and page. However, it displays app 103, page 101.
When I click on the "new user registration" button, the url changes to this:
http://rilian:8080/apex/f?p=103:8:7659307535557230::NO:8::
And, I'm still on page 101, not page 8.
Like I said before, this was working like a champ earlier this week and I went to show my wife how I had it working and boom it stopped. LOL. Murphy's law...
Thanks again,
Reid

Apple cripples New User Training Videos

The Apple training videos do not play, or load for new users with Satellite access. This countries largest companies continue to disadvantage those areas without Cable or DSL access. Go ahead and purchase One and One you will not get video with Apples SL install on new computers.

hiya
i am new to ipod and itunes.
YAY! Welcome!
i have no problem with music and i have managed to
get some videos to play in itunes. they will not
upload onto my ipod.
This should help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302509
does anyone know where i can find a sample video,
anything people know will work so i can find out if
it is a problem with my computer/ipod/they way im
doing it or the video i am trying to load?
See above link.
does anyone know if apple/itunes have a converer to
download to change videos to ipod format?
Yup. If it's in iTunes, right click on the video and select "Convert for iPod use"
does anyone know how i can get videos of a music
video dvd onto itunes? and then onto my ipod.
Yes, that will take specialized software, though. If you search for iPod video converter on Google, a lot will come up. I use and love the one I purchased. I consider it a great investment...
thanks
sorry if this all seems abit school boy, i am not
very good with computers or computer gargon. thanks
No worries. If you'd like more info, you may want to do a search of these forums. Lots of good info to be found. I'll bet more info than you could read in a day.

How to create custom "new user registration" process?

Hello,
I need to allow new users self-registration, but they must provide a little bit more information during registration. So I need to change or create new registration process.
How can I do this?

As far as your goal is only to extend user attributes:
1) Check the membership module
2) View source on the Registration page
3) Create your new registration page with
new user ldap attributes as input fields names
and test your new template with membership module
PS: For more customization you have to write your
own module or extend membership module.
Cheers,
Alex :-)

I don't know where an unknown database comes into the picture.I was assuming that the user information, including the "verification pending" flag, would be stored in some kind of database. But yeah, I suppose it's possible the user information would be persisted in some other way. This just makes it more complicated to write a generalized system of the type the OP is looking for.Actually I meant that this was to be built into a known web application (or applications) and thus with known database(s); everything under personal control and thus no head aches at all. The only additional requirement I see is that it is to be used in multiple applications, but in that I say: reuse the trick, not the code.
The code is boiler plate.
JEE containers are much more generalized with more functionality.
But the code isn't that difficult, by itself, but still isn't trivial. So as a stand alone library I doubt anyone would bother to create a framework.

Apex homepage with login and new user registration

Hello there folks,
I m building an application on Apex 4.2.1
Our login page (default login page 101 from Cloudy 24 theme) has a login for existing users, works perfect.
On the same page, I want to add a new region for new users to register.
So we add a Button, named REGISTER NEW USER that points to a new form that a user inputs his data.
But unfortunetely the button doesn't go to the new page and our bet is that it's because of authentication issues.
How can we move to the new form, without needing login credentials?

New user; no video from my end of call (modern Win...

A friend and I both attempted an inaugural Skype call last night. I could see and hear her; she could hear but not see me. There was a white camera (not video) icon with a white diagonal slash, in a gray box.
I'm running Windows Pro 8.1 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430 with an integrated webcam. Skype came preinstalled on my laptop.
After reading some troublehooting suggestions on this site, I uninstalled Skype (online version?) by removing the tile. (Skype did not show up as a program under Control Panel so I could not uninstall it like I'm used to removing programs.)
Then I downloaded the special version of Skype. It did not work (can't recall the details).
From Firefox, I installed the desktop version, went into Tools, Options, General, Video Settings. Again, a white camera (not video) icon with a white diagonal slash, in a gray box.
When I go into the Windows Device Manager, Imaging device, Integrated Camera, General tab, it shows the message, "This device is working properly."
Today I uninstalled the Skype desktop, reinstalled Skype for Windows 8 (again, this appears to be an online version not a desktop version), activated the charms along the right border of my screen, clicked Settings (gear icon), Options, Video, Camera, Integrated Camera . . . that same white camera (not video) icon with a white diagonal slash, in a gray box is present.
I suspect there is some simple setting that I need to change to make my video show up on the screens of people whom I Skype. I just don't know what it is.
Any more suggestions? I've followed the suggestions for downloading new drivers, I've restarted my laptop, I've tried some of the other suggestions I found on a list.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think I found the answer on the Lenovo Support app, Knowledge Base. I've copied the 10/23/2013 answer and pasted it below:
Some customers have reported that the front camera of Helix is not longer active following an application update, and most recently after updating to Windows 8.1
This grey picture with the Crossed Camera is the privacy mode of the "Lenovo Settings App".
You have to deactivate it in the Settings App under the "Camera" tab.
AnswerSome updates may toggle the front camera to privacy mode. To check this, open the Lenovo settings app on your desktop, and then click the camera settings
LearningCurve comment: I followed these instructions, the Crossed Camera icon is now gone, and there I am on video, live. When my friend gets home and is available to answer my Skype video call, that will be the true test.

IMac Transfer to new user

I just bought a new iMac and will be migrating my files etc. from my G5 iMac running Mavericks to the new iMac. I am giving the G5 to my grandson and want to know how to give it to him with the Mavericks OS. The original install disk is OS X Tiger. I understand how to erase the existing system, but will I have to do incremental installs of the subsequent OS X upgrades, or just be able to install Mavericks after reinstallation of Tiger?
Thank you

from my G5 iMac running Mavericks to the new iMac.
No G5 iMac (non-intel) can run Mavericks. First you need to clarify which iMac you actually have that you want to give to your grandson.

Query : Addition of extra fields in the User Registration page of portal.

Hi All,
I have a query, about adding extra fields in the new user registration page of portal.
If you can suggest the required source files in details,inorder to incorporate two more fields.
Say, AGE and COMPANY,with the existing fields in the same page.
Along with this,can you please send the details of retrieving those information from backend and the backend functionalities associated with the SUBMIT button on the registration page.
Regards,
Sudeep

Hi,
Your query is divided into two parts.
The first part is adding new fields into existing form. This feature comes under Branding of portal. Plz use the link below understanding the same and related help :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/79/affe402a5ff223e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
The second part is retrieving the values from backend.Here it will be the UME database. You need to develop a logon.par file and replace the same in your portal.
Happy Customizing.

Self user registration request fails during Approval.

Hi,
My case is explained below.
I have created a new user using "New User Registration" in the sign in page.
Now the user is created in OID.
I logged into identity manager using "xelsysadm" user.
I clicked "Track Requests" and search, I could see the new request with status "Pending request approval"
I clicked on "Pending Approvals", selected the request and click on "Approve"
I get a success message. However the user is not getting created in OIM.
Here the user is getting deleted from OID also.
I could not find any forum page discussing this issue. Anyone good in 11gr2 kindly help.

Setup user registration/email confirmation/login/captcha ?

I'd like to setup an application to allow users to submit poll questions and then vote yes/no.
Is there a sample app available that shows how to setup a new user registration, email confirmation, and login, preferably using captchas (maybe using recaptcha.net) ?
I'd like something similar to the average forum/blog registration.
Thanks,

Hi Daveio,

Big Security Hole - Seesion ID Anonyous User Registration

Hi,
This is a serious security vulnerability with IdM Anonymous Registration. When a new user is trying to register through IdM on the anonymous user registration, the session id generated has a pattern which can be easily hijacked by attackers to retrieve the data entered in the forms.
The following are the urls which are been generated in different sessions for new user registration.
https://domain.com/idm/user/anonWorkItemEdit.jsp?id=*%23ID%23D728DF8F73C051F4%3A51EF2C64%3A11BE5FE3A73%3A-4596*
https://domain.com/idm/user/anonWorkItemEdit.jsp?id=*%23ID%23D728DF8F73C051F4%3A51EF2C64%3A11BE5FE3A73%3A-4590*
https://domain.com/idm/user/anonWorkItemEdit.jsp?id=*%23ID%23D728DF8F73C051F4%3A51EF2C64%3A11BE5FE3A73%3A-4589*
Please suggest how to over come or generate random Session ids.

Usually this refers to the workflow or workitem id. I think there is no security issue here. It is a standard practice that you invoke a workflow for anonymous registration or any anonymous process. Then in the workflow you have to implement approvals and validations so that no weird user gets an account. Apart from that this should have an entry in AnonymousUserTasks configuration. Any workflow in this configuration file should have strong validations and approvals implemented.

HT203180 I am a new user. I have created iPad versions of videos, but I can't get them to synch from my iMac to my IPad

I am a new user. I have created iPad versions of videos, but I can't get them to synch from my iMac to my IPad. I have consulted the Help section, but the videos do not appear in the iTunes library as movies.

Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit to import the videos.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
