In Gnome 3, I can't change anything as user

Hello! I have just installed Arch Linux (3.5.3 since I'm having some other issues with 3.6.2) + Gnome 3.
I know this is probably gonna sound like a silly question but haven't found the answer anywhere on the internet.
The problem is I can't change anything when logging in as user, like background image or touchpad settings or adding favorites to the sidebar (in this case, it just freezes), while, when starting it as root, I can do all these things - and the changes won't stay after I log back in as user obviously.
I suppose it must be something related with permissions, but, since I'm a newbie and I've found nothing googling the issue, maybe someone can help me on this.
Thanks!

I've got a new Apple ID but can not change anything on my phone, my old Apple ID is connected to icloud but is not letting me delete it without a password! But I do not know this password what can I do?

I've got a new Apple ID but can not change anything on my phone, my old Apple ID is connected to icloud but is not letting me delete it without a password! But I do not know this password what can I do?

If the old ID is an earlier version of your new ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your new iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your new password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
Note: this will not work if your new ID is an entirely new ID that was never previously associated with the old email address.

I want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user

hi,
i want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user, so i new a variable with setting : customer exit, single value, optional, ready for input.
in my customer exit code, i set a default value, eg. 20070530
when the variable screen popup, it display the default value 20070530, i changed it to 20070529, but it doesn't work , it still display the data in 20070530, how can i solve this problem?
your help is appreciated.

Liu,
As mentioned by Anil, you need to restrict your customerr Exit code to I_STEP = 1.
or.
<u>Open your Variable in change mode, in the Last Page os the Variable Maintenance you can provide default value. Note: you are doing same thing in Customer Exit. In your case no need of Customer Exit.</u>

Cannot change anything in user account and family safety, even logging as an administrator account.

My 1st user account was an administrator account, 2nd user account was a standard account. 3rd user account was a guest account of window 8 single language, however i accidentally made a mistake by setting guest account from standard account to become an
administrator account. I also set down the 1st user account from administrator to standard account and after these stupid settings, the guest account becomes administrator account anyone can access in without any password, the 1st and 2nd accounts become standard
accounts! Before this mistake, the 1st user account was the main account of mine, 2nd and 3rd (guest account) were logged in very rarely.
The problem is when i logged in guest account as administrator, i cannot set the 1st or 2nd back to become another administrator account. Something has gone strange, it has been prevented me to set the others to be administrator and the guest back to standard
account. Being as an administrator account, the guest account was totally useless in changing settings. When i logged in with 1st and 2nd account, i also cannot change anything in the user account settings (change type of user account) and family safety, all
attempts to change the user account settings was useless such as i never tried. I also tried "refresh your computer without losing files" but not worked. Please provide me some advices!
I did not find the forum for win 8 single language, so i place my question here.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to go to safe mode of win 8 by holding the shift key while clicking "restart" on the login screen. (My login screen now shows 3 account users). Then i chose troubleshoot -> advanced options -> windows startup
settings-> i went to safe mode. The safe mode only showed a complete black screen with an only window: "Administrator: cmd.exe". I did as you said (typing NETPLWIZ) and the User accounts window appeared. I went to "properties" of each
user account and set 1st and 2nd accounts to Administrator but got the error: "This user cannot be added. Access is denied." and another error window: "Usert accounts: the group membership for ... could not be updated."
Yesterday, i went to elevated command prompt as an administrator and typed "net user administrator /active:yes" with hope that the built-in administrator would be activated and i would use it for full control settings of 3 other user accounts.
But i got the error: "system error 5. Access is denied."
Now, my position is quite bad. Login with guest account which was set as administrator, i still can not have full control of this laptop, so that all attempts of mine to change the user account settings is denied. This guest account also does not have a
password at all so that everyone can open my computer without typing a password. Because access is denied, i cannot set a password for the guest account even now it is the administrator account and i am loging in it.
p/s: I tried to refresh the system but still got the error: "There was a problem refreshing your PC. No changes were made". And i also tried to restore the system, but got the error: "System restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's
system files and settings were not changed. Details: A volume shadow copy service component encountered an unexpected error. Check the Application event log for more information (0x80042302)"
I went in registry editor in safe mode and did as you said but there was no "AutoAdminLogon", "DefaultUserName", "DefaultPassword". I only saw "AutoLogonSID" and other different names...
The problem i got half year ago has still remained and recently i made this mistake. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8ebd868c-bdfd-412e-95a6-9dc0095d431c/cannot-paste-any-online-pictures-from-any-websites-into-wordpowerpointonenote-2013?forum=officeitpro
I am a young woman who always creates mistakes when setting computer because of my carelessness.
Hi,
These phenomenon should be access rights problem, you need to check your current system User Accounts status. In my opinion, your administrator account probably disabled.
Open Run, type LUSRMGR.MSC, press Enter.
Then check your current system account which Group they are belongs to.
If there is any progress, please feel free let me know.

Can't update or purchase apps because old user name (MobileMe) comes up automatically and can't change to new user I'd

I can't update or purchase apps after changing my iTunes user I'd . Old (MobileMe) user id comes up automatically and doesn't allow change. How do I take care of this? I've even deleted MobileMe from iPad

Deltacoman wrote:
It won't recognize the password I used when buying the apps.
Hmmm...
That should work. Go here to determine if there is perhaps a third Apple ID involved! If not, perhaps your memory isn't what is used to be. Change the password.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

How can I change my login user name to my current new email

I need to change mu iCloud user name from my old email to me new one but it won't let me because it is the same as my rescue email address. How do I get around this if it is the only email address I have?

Create another non-Apple email address to use and either use it as your new primary email address, or change the rescue address to the new address and then use the current rescue address as your new primary address.

Can not change anything relating to users

I am running OS X Mavericks server. When I try to go into the "Users" pane to add a user, the buttons on the bottom left are completely greyed out. Also, when I try to edit an existing user, all of the fields are greyed out. I looked into my Admin user account, which is the one I logged into Server with, but "Administer this server" is unchecked. When I try to recheck it and press OK, it tells me that "Operation could not be completed because the current credentials do not have the appropriate privileges." Furthermore, all of my network users can not access any of their services, but my local admin user works fine.
Is there any way to fix this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How i can't change anything in the vi who is using activex invoke nodes for excel97 when i have a newer version of excel

as an example:
the ActiveX example has executed at LV5.1 Write Table to XL.vi.
The following has arisen in the context of it.
This is Vi as long as nothing is changed at the diagram executable.
Only a constant is put in the diagram this isn't Vi any more executable.
The error message says from that one of the method knots doesn't work.
Uses gives it to Excel 2003. to this can notes or tricks like the problem be avoided.
Have a number of tools calls the Excel it comes to the error messages listed above to have about activeX and to work without problems under Excel97 and to be allowed to not be changed under the current version of Excel any more otherwise there.

No, you can't select different Excel version at runtime in labview. Microsoft changed some properties and methods during each version upgrade. Sometimes they are not backward compatible, labview can't dectect the difference because the properties and methods are hard-wired during development time. You'll need to relink these methods and properties and recompile the code.

Get Info--Info Tab--All information is grayed out....can't change anything

In iTunes, right click on a song in the library, click on Get Info, click on Info, All information is grayed out and cannot be accessed and/or changed. Question: How do I correct this situation? I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to no avail. I am on a PC with Windows 7.

Hi, I'm just brand new to the forum and Itunes and had the same issue with an album I had imported (no track or album info)and likeyrself could not get the Advanced "get track name" as it was greyed out.
After a lot of searching on this forum, with no luck, I changed the VIEW mode from GRID to LIST and then bingo, the option ("get track name") was no longer greyed out!!
Hope this helps. Cheers Dennisg
PS: As a first time user, I'm fast becoming UNHAPPY - I imported a Rod Stuart album and the Bloody Itunes made 4 albums out of the one, because he sang a few duets - HOw silly is that!!
