Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest?

Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest? It's not a major problem but it would be nice to be able to fix it, and to understand how it happened.
Everything else is in English (or set to English) as far as I can see, and my Macbook is only a couple of weeks old. All system updates have been performed and permissions have been repaired.
It displays it in Finnish (Suomi) as 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' only when logged in, in the System Preferencess user list and apple menu (where you would normally select 'Log Out Guest User'). I cant find anyone else with the same problem online. I am in the UK, purchased the Macbook on the UK Apple Store online, and I have never been to Finland or selected anything to do with Finland or its language. Everything else is in English.
I should add that 'Vierastilin' showed up instead of 'Guest User' on the OSX login screen on the first day I had the Macbook, but this seemed to fix itself somehow soon after.
A couple of photos to illustrate the problem that still exists are attached.

Thanks for the reply. I only have English - Primary but I guess I could add Finland and then delete it...
Okay, tried that, lots of variations including deleting all other languages and only using Finnish, and then using only British English etc - when guest is in Finnish the whole lot becomes Finnish/Suomi (see attached photos to compare with the ones above) - then when you delete Finnish and go back to English, everything is Englisg apart from 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' as above.
Any other ideas where it stores that info - is there a dodgy preference file somewhere which needs zapping?

I am trying to deauthorize my audible account. It says the user name and/or password are incorrect after I had just deauthorized the computer using the same user name and password. They should be different correct?

I am trying to deauthorize my audible account. It says the user name and/or password are incorrect after I had just deauthorized the computer using the same user name and password and logging in to post this. They should be the same password correct?

Deauthorize Audible Account... always appears as a menu selection, even if you deauthorized Audible or never even had an account.
Audible is a different account from iTunes and does not require the same username / password.

My wife no longer appear as "user" but as a "group" without a login. The directory is there. How to fix?

So my Lion install went fine except that my wife no longer comes up as user with a login. She does however appear user "System Preferences > Users & Groups" as a "group" and the directory is still there. How to restore?

I'm happy to totally restore the phone.......once I have completely backed up my music files! I can't back up in the normal way as the music files are not recognized in the iPhone or iTunes.
The original problem occurred as a result of a corrupted synch. This seems to be a problem a LOT of people have had (based on all the Internet research I've done). I did everything suggested (uninstall/reinstall iTunes, update iTunes, reset iPhone, use a different USB port, use a different connection cable, update drivers, restart computer with iPhone connected......and nothing worked!!!). Having spent days and days looking for an answer I eventually found a solution that was supposed to work. It was suggested that I download the 'iPhone Explorer' software and delete a couple of directory files which I did. This partially resolved the issue, iTunes recognized the iPhone and updated the iOS software.
Quite simply, the music media files are still in the iPhone, it just doesn't recognise which directory the music cache is in. I need to either:-
* figure out how to get the iPhone to find the correct directory again or:
* figure out how to extract the remaining music files to create a complete back up and then restore the iPhone

Unknown user appears in get info permissions list

unknown user appears in get info permissions list of a lot of folders. I cant remove the user, change the permission level of that user. Is there a way of getting over this problem?
Here is a screenshot of the unknown user...
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee151/cosmac2007/Picture5.png

pzeitler, i tried your fix. it worked but only partly. i had to go to an admin account and do the sudo because my non-admin account that was affected does not allow me to sudo from it. so i do it from admin account and it seems i add my non-admin user to all admin files\folders with full permissions and no admin account user. so i open the home folder in get info, add admin user and set permission, apply recursively to all inside it. How ever, i couldnt remove the non-admin user from admin user folder permissions.
now i go to non-admin user account and find that unknown grp is gone for all except three folders (public/sites/downloads). i also checked a third, non-admin user and it seems unaffected by all the operations that i have performed. but it has the unknown grp in it.
I guess i have to wait for apple to fix it rather than mess up the system myself.

Mysterious user appears logged in via SMB

I'm running Snow Leopard Server (10.6.3), and for the last couple of days I've noticed a mysterious user logged in via SMB.
The connections panel shows user name "Guest" at address "DENY_NONE" connected for 00.00 hours. It seems to really slow down the network when this ghost user is accessing the server.
I may be wrong, but this user seems to appear after I have our Windows 7 test machine (iMac 3GHz Core 2 Duo) access the server.
I also get the following message in the logs for hours after the machine logs off:
[2010/05/03 14:01:10, 0, pid=51155] /SourceCache/samba/samba-235.2/samba/source/locking/posix.c:posixfcntlgetlock(250)
posixfcntlgetlock: WARNING: lock request at offset 2147516416, length 32768 returned
an Invalid argument error. This can happen when using 64 bit lock offsets
on 32 bit NFS mounted file systems.
The only way to get rid of this is by shutting down SMB for a few minutes.
Any ideas on fixing this? We're going to be switching all our Windows clients to Windows 7 soon, and I don't want to magnify this problem 10- to 20-fold when we do.
I don't get these messages when our Windows XP clients access files from the server.

I am also having a related issue that I noticed on Snow Leopard Server 10.6.3, I have upgraded to 10.6.4 and I am still experiencing issues. The error messages in the SMB log on 10.6.4 SL Server in Server Admin:

I am not able to disconnect this user, and this also happens when Vista/Win7 users connect.
I haven't seen anybody resolve these issues yet, but maybe someone here can help. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

How to use ISE Guest Portal for AD users

Hi there,
As subject explains all, I want to use ISE Guest Portal for my domain users. I have tried many different ways to authenticate users and finally I came to the conclusion that ISE CWA works pretty well and is very stable. WLC Webauth sucks alot, does not redirect to the login page always.
Can you please share what other ways are stable ways to authenticate AD users? I know about WPA 802.1x authentication but that requires a CA in the network which is not available at the moment. So can you please Suggect?
Otherwise, I want to use ISE Guest Portal for my AD users as well. AD is already integrated to ISE, the issue happens when I attempt to athenticate using AD user account, the user gets authenticated but the Guest Portal redirects me to Device Provissioning page and there it shows an error saying "there is not policy to register the device, contact system admin"
Am I missing something??
I am running WLC 5760 with ISE 1.2
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Can you post a screenshot of your current policies? Also for 802.1x authentication although it is best practices you do not have to have an internal CA to make this solution work. You can disable the option to "validate server certificate" or you can use a trusted CA to sign the certificate for the eap interface.
In most cases 802.1x is the method to go because it provides dynamic authentication without forcing users to redirected to a web page multiple times throughout the day, scenarios such as computers that sleep or users that are mobile will not have connectivity until they redirect to the portal if one of the scenarios exist. You also gain WPA encryption on your WLAN, if you are using strictly layer 3 web auth you run into issues where encryption is not used and rely on encryption from the application as your method of data integrity and security.
Thanks,

Lync 2013 user appears twice in Lync, once with all features, a second time with only the option to make a voice call

Hi,
I'm using 15.0.4551.1007.
A user appears twice in my contact search but in the second instance he has a phone icon and I can only make a video call to the user.
His contact card only shows a phone number in 'Other'. The number appears in his other contact card but not in the same format.
I suspected he is somewhere in my contacts but a search found nothing. He's not listed twice in the Exchange GAL either.
Where can Lync be getting this information? it doesn't happen to every user and he's enabled the same way as everybody else in Lync.
Thanks,
rudif

Open Lync option, click Personal tab. Choose None under Personal information manager.
Then sign out and sign in to check if you can see the contact twice for the specific user.
Please also check if other users have this issue. If they do have, the problem locates on the address book server or Active Directory.
If only you have this problem, try to delete the Lync cached file for you user.

User in a windows group - mapping to acs group appears not be working

I have a user in a windows group, this windows group is mapped to an ACS group but when the user logs in it appears as default group in ACS.
Any suggestion?

Hello, I recently implemented this very thing, actually integrated it with Authentication Proxy. Here are some settings to check:
1. External User Databases - Database Configuration - Windows Database - Configure
Make sure your domain is listed on moved to the Domain List section
2. External User Databases - Database Group Mappings - Windows Database - - Add Manual Mapping
Make sure you have the right AD group mapped to the internal ACS group, you can even set users* if you want to include all users.
3. External User Databses - Unknown User Policy
Check the "Check the following external user databases" radio dial and move Windows Database to Selected Databases
Check âThe database in which the user profile is heldâ radio dial in the Configure Enable Password Behaviour section
Hope that helps!

Network User appearing twice in connection tab under file sharing

I have one of my network users that appears twice under the connected Users tab in the File Sharing service (Lion Server).
It only appears to be happening with one of the users. When they log in they get shown twice with the same IP address although they can have different idle time.
I can not seem to work out what is going on.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

After a little bit of mucking around I have discovered the duplicate user appears when I mount a network volume (which is also a share) during login using a "mount drive" script. I can disconnect the duplicate user which unmounts the network volume.
Same thing happens when I connect to the server machine through the SHARED listing in Finder as it is set up to use my network account to connect. ONce again I can disconnect which simply umounts the shared access.

New Folio Issues don't always appear to users ( uninstall required )

I've been getting feedback that iPhone folios don't always appear to users when published publicly...i.e. I publish the latest issue and it appears for many users in the folio library, however some (even though they have an internet connection) do not see the new folio as available.
This has been solved by the user uninstallng and re-installing the app, however that's not an obvious course of action and most users miss available content.
Anyone else have insight into what could be the problem here?
I'm publishing v26 folios through a v26 app, and also I'm not sure this problem is isolated to iPhone.

I have the same problem!
I hope someone can help and find a solution...

Tim,
Only Netflix can answer that question.

HT201270 Hello, I followed the instructions on my iPhone4s by going to Sett Gen About and nothing was new even thou I was advised to update as soon as I plugged into my Mac for a backup. Does this just mean that it tells all iPhone users to check just in

Hello All,
I followed the instructions when I plugged in my iPhone 4s to do a backup on my Mac. I was then prompted to update carrier settings by going to Settings>General>About. I did as instructed and nothing was new, even though I was advised to update as soon as I plugged into my Mac for a backup. Does this just mean that it tells all iPhone users to check for any available updates just in case ?

Updating carrier settings isn't the same as updating iOS. You don't get any new or different features. It just affects, ostensibly for the better, how your phone connects with your carrier's network.

If i restore a user folder from time machine. is it just restoring all files associated with the user or programs also?

If i restore a user folder from time machine, is it just restoring the files associated with the user or programs as well? Im asking because Apple Store just reset my system and said to restore files i needed and not to do a full restore. to try and determine if it was a software issue causing the problems.

Just the user's folder. Nothing else. See Pondini's TM FAQs, for details.
