Mac os x 10.6.8 root

I have a macbook 1,1 and I have figured out how to do a few things on terminal and text edit. I enabled root. It seems pretty serious stuff. I was wondering how do I turn it off on Mac os x 10.6.8?

okay i did that. when i opened the directory utillity i didnt see anything about disable root. and i think this has something to do with root.
On my login window I have my name and then underneath now i have this other account sorta thing. is says "other" with a blue picture and you click it and it opens up and you can type in your name and password to sign in
anyway I can take that off?

After Effects won't update for MAC 10.9.4 even on Root account.

I have previously updated my Mac OS to 10.9.4 and it was only until today that i wanted to use After Effects. I open up After Effects and i get an error, after some googling I am taken to a download page for the After Effects update. I downloaded the update, but when I ran it it said I had insufficient privileges. After a long string of events that involved tricking my computer into thinking it was brand new to make an admin account, i made an admin account and from there got access to the root account. Once on the root account I figured that all permissions would be open, but no, I still get the same error message of, "Please contact your system Administrator if you wish to apply updates on your machine. Updates have been suppressed by your Administrator."
Is there a button I need to press or a command i need to type in the root account that will allow me to update AE? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

This is not about the administrator for the computer; rather, this is about the administrator of your software licenses. Whoever distributed your Adobe software seems to have chosen the option in that distribution to disable updates. You'll need to talk with them.

[MAC] aerender via terminal over ssh root

Hey,
I am attempting to start a render on a mac over ssh via the terminal. On my test mac I can only get the command to work if I run it as root, however I will be needing to do this on an OSX Xserv cluster where I will not have root access. Here are the errors I get.
On my test Mac, not root:
"_RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.
aerender ERROR -609: AESend failed to send apple event at line 712"
On the cluster, not root:
"kCGErrorRangeCheck : Window Server communications from outside of session allowed for root and console user only
INIT_Processeses(), could not establish the default connection to the WindowServer.Abort trap"
Is there anyway for me to start a render remotely, without being logged in as root?
Thanks,

I don't think so. What you are trying to do is basically to break out of the security sandbox of your SSH connection which by all means is fundmanetally evil. What you would have to do is decouple the process from your connection by sending it to the background. Back then in my SGI days we used the background alias all the time to do this, but I think the native way merely attaches a parameter by calling the PID. From what a quick search turned up, on OSX this seems to be the ampersand (&). Short of that, the convenient way is naturally doing it in a remote desktop or via a virtualisation software....

Can't install CS4 on Mac's root drive?

I have a Mac Pro and recently bought CS4 Production Premium. In the list of known issues, it says "On Mac, you cannot install to the root drive. (#BG044824)"
Does that mean I cannot install CS4 on my Mac hard drive (the HD that has OSX and all the other applications)? I have to have a 2nd Mac HD to install it on?
What exactly is a "root drive"? I attempted to look up a definition via Google, but nothing definitive came up.
Thanks for the help!

It meant the boot drive. If you have only one drive that is fine. It cannot be installed on a secondard drive (non-boot drive).

[SOLVED]Arch hangs on startup, unable to find root device Mac

For posterity, I'm editing the post with how I solved both issues.
Hi All,
I'm trying to dual boot Arch and Mac 10.4.11 on an old 32 bit MacbookPro1,1. I did the following:
1) Partitioned Drive with an EFI partition, Mac partition, root partition, home partition, and swap partition
2) Installed Mac to its respective partition
3) Installed rEFInd to the ESP
4) Confirmed the rEFInd was able to boot Mac
5) Installed Arch to the root partition and mounted the separate /home and swap partitions
6) Followed the beginners guide for the rest of the installation
7) Did NOT install a bootloader
- I am just using rEFInd to boot Arch; I installed Ubuntu in a similar fashion on my other (2013) MBP. I didn't create a mount point for /boot, did not install GRUB, and it works perfectly
8) Rebooted. Selected the Arch installation from the rEFInd menu, it launched, and shortly after I am presented with this message:
ERROR: device 'UUID=142bf...777' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device 'UUID=142bf...777'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[rootfs /]#
I then booted to the live cd to try and do some noob detective work:
# mkdir /mnt/arch
# mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/arch
# cat /mnt/arch/etc/fstab
# cat /mnt/arch/etc/mkinitcpio.conf # my searching suggested the HOOKS might be the issue
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filestystems keyboard fsck"
Here is the output of /etc/fstab
I am including the outputs of
# lsblk
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
# blkid
as a photo.
EDIT:
I was able to use rEFInd's line editor to boot with the fallback image. Everything went well for the first five seconds and I got past the previously mentioned failure. However, it is now stuck at
[ OK ] Started Rebuild Hardware Database
I booted again, and it froze at:
[ OK ] Started udev Kernel Device Manager.
I did this a few more times and it froze at:
[ OK ] Reached Target Swap.
[ OK ] Reached Target Sound Card.
and
[ OK ] Started Flush Journal to Persistent Storage.
Why is it freezing at different points each time I boot (with fallback)?
EDIT 2 [HALF SOLVED]:
By switching the order of the hooks ( I still have no idea what they do) as per this link, I am now able to boot in normal (not fallback) mode. For the record, here is what I did:
# mkdir /mnt/arch
# mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/arch
# chroot /mnt/arch/ /bin/bash/
# nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf # here I put block before autodetect in the hooks line (Why isn't this the default if it prevents the system from booting?)
# mount -t proc proc /proc
# mount -t sysfs sys /sys
# mount -t devtmpfs udev /dev
# mkinitcpio -p linux
I then rebooted and it started up, except now it is freezing at various points in the startup sequence like the fallback image did above. What could be causing this issue?
EDIT 3 [SOLVED]
I don't know why this worked, but after following this advice I am now able to boot into login. Steps:
1) Select Arch in the rEFInd menu and press F2
2) Press F2 again to edit the boot parameters
3) Scan to the end of the line and add
nomodeset
after the linux image.

Yes, the UUID displayed in the error message upon bootup is the same as the UUID for /dev/sda3 as found when running blkid which is the same as the UUID for the root partition in /etc/fstab.

Why am I unable to connect to internet with my mac?

When I try connecting my macbook air to the wireless internet it keeps saying the WPA2 password is incorrect but it isn't. Can I connect my mac to internet by using the rooter wireless button like I use to with my PC?

It is likely one of these applications. Uninstall using the developer's uninstall instructions. I would start with Intego.
At the very least check these are current.
You can also try a safe boot…
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
That will disable the extensions & other startup items. Be aware that many nonessential Apple extensions will be disabled so some features will performa badly or not at all, this is normal in a safe boot. Test as much as possible. Reboot to return to a normal running OS.

Problem with Import Computer Information Wizard not doing check for MAC or GUID already in database

Hi,
My client is using SCCM 2012 RTM in a standalone site.
Yesterday, a technician was preparing computers to deploy OS. He was in a replace scenario and mistakenly mixed the MAC address of the source computer with the one of the new computer.
So when importing computer information for the new one, he entered the wrong MAC address; the one of the source computer already existing in the SCCM database.
I expected the Import Computer Information wizard to generate an error, but no, the import was successful resulting with the source computer DDR being overwritten...
We spent (and lost) time recreating the DDR for the source computer so we could create the computer association for USMT migration.
2 years ago, I opened a call with Microsoft for the exact same issue with SCCM 2007. At that time, they told me that no hotfix would be developped for this bug since there was a workaround (overwritten DDR will re-create itself with Heartbeat
discovery over time) and SCCM 2012 was coming up.
It seems to me that they forgot to fix the issue in 2012. It doesn't seem to be fixed with SP1 as I didn't find anything about it in SP1 doc..
Can someone confirm this bug and can Microsoft do something? Or is there a hotfix already available for it?
Tnx
Patrick

Well you could always remove the Delete Resource permission from the technicians User Rights :P
The option to not overwrite the existing computer object, is right there in the SDK.
So it's anyone's guess, why they haven't added an checkbox in the Import Computer Information wizard and why overwrite is set as the default.
Anyways...you can use the following PowerShell script instead of the Import Wizard.
Just open up a PowerShell console, type in . X:\Path\To\Script\ScriptName.ps1 and
then type New-SCCMComputer
Or you can create a shortcut with the following target %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoExit -Command . X:\Path\To\Script\New-SCCMComputer.ps1; New-SCCMComputer
You will need to change the default values for $SiteServer and $SiteCode to your environment
Function New-SCCMComputer
[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] $SiteServer = "Server.Domain.Local",
[Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] $SiteCode = "PS1",

$NewEntry.NetbiosName = $ResourceName
$NewEntry.OverwriteExistingRecord = $False

Hello,
Please post your SNMP receiver config on the CAM. Also, can you do a capture on the CAM to see if you're seeing the packets getting there?
To do the capture, in a SSH session, use this command: tcpdump -ieth0 'host ' -s0 -wcapture.pcap
Once you've captured the success/failure, hit Ctrl-C to kill the capture. You can then use WINSCP or any other SCP program to get that file off of the CAM for further analysis.

Adobe DESTROYED my Mac Pro, someone help!!!!

Hello, everyone. This is an epic post but it's an epic situation for me. Please read the whole thing and offer advice, I am petrified with fear right now! My early 2008 Mac Pro (8 core, 2.3 ghz, 4tb, 16gb ram, Quadro 5600 GPU, OS X 10.5.6) has acted like a God since I got her in February '08. Haven't had a single problem with it, -except- when running Adobe CS4, which opens a world of hurt.
Any time I use Premiere Pro, Soundbooth, Encore, or Media Encoder, I get little windows that say 'null pict handle with error of 0.' There is now way to make them leave. Even when the programs work (rarely), I get those windows. Media Encoder, however, has never worked since I upgraded to CS4. I have run the CS4 clean script several times. There isn't a single trace of CS3 left on my computer.
That's the history of my Mac Pro CS4 problem. Here's where I ended up:
This morning I decided to uninstall Master Collection, run the clean script, and reinstall CS4, even though I've done it five or six times already and knew it probably wouldn't make Media Encoder work or the Null Pict Handle windows go away. I guess I'm an optimist. But when I went to uninstall CS4, I was informed that an original copy of the uninstaller didn't exist, leaving me unable to get rid of the buggy software! Then, I noticed when I clicked on Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, InDesign, Fireworks, or Contribute, the icons turned to question marks, and they ceased to appear in my Applications folder.
So I called Adobe tech support. God help me.
The tech support guy, name of Kelly, seemed good natured enough. I really felt like he wanted to help. He had me hold shift down while signing in to my Mac Pro, and sign in as 'Root.' I have no idea what any of that means or does, but he said to trust him. Then I was told to delete anything with Adobe affiliation. Then I was told to reset disk permissions on my boot drive. Finally, he told me to reinstall CS4.
Halfway into the install, he said, and I quote, "Tim it sounds like everything's gonna work out fine for you, there haven't been any snags yet so you should be alright. I'm gonna let you go, just call if you have any problems."
I wasn't comfortable with him leaving the line until I was sure my computer had been safely worked on, but he insisted he had to help other customers. So like an idiot, I let him go.
CS4 finished installing. Everything seemed fine. I figured I'd restart the computer just to be safe, and do some After Effects work. I clicked restart and everything went along as expected at first. Computer shut down, turned back on, got the beautiful Mac chime, the Apple logo with the bars scrolling around it, and BAM---- screen goes black and my Mac Pro is off.
And now... that's all I get. I turn the computer on, get the chime, the Apple logo, and then she turns off. Holding shift down does nothing. Letting the computer cool off doesn't help, either. The people at Adobe won't take responsibility, but I didn't do a single thing they didn't tell me to. Add to that, there hasn't been ONE problem with this computer until I introduced it to CS4. No problems with Final Cut Studio 2, Shake, Logic, or Blender. Just Adobe.
If anyone has any advice, I will be forever grateful. I am terrified right now that my baby, my 13,000 dollar beast of a computer, is dead on account of Adobe Master Collection, a bunch of programs I've almost completely quit using in favor of FCP.
Thanks!
-Thankfully, I have most everything of importance backed up on my time capsule.-

A few things you can try:
1) I hope you've backed up everything!
2) Pop in your OS X install DVD, hold down 'd'. Do a hardware test and see if anything is wrong
3) As above, but let the machine run to the installation screen, then open 'Disk Utility' and repair the main drive.
4) I hope you've backed up...!
5) Re-install your OS. Zero out your main boot drive and re-install OS X, then, if everything is working, install CS4.
6) Did I mention a backup???
7) If you have a time machine backup you can restore from it to salvage anything you need.
I have CS4 running on my Mac Pro and it runs OK. Good Luck!

Any problems with migrating In Design files from Mac to PC?

My wife is a commercial artist, and we are considering getting CS4 here at home on our PC. She has a Mac at work. Are there any problems with switching files between the Mac and the PC so she can get some work done on the same files at both the office and at home?
Thanks!

One recurring problem I have is the different types of the Symbol font. Mac InDesign insists on adding (TT) -- "Symbol (TT)" -- to 'Windows' documents, and vice versa. I think the root of the problem is Symbol on Windows is an OTF font, whereas on the Mac it's still a 'regular' TTF. My Mac compadres tell me it's not easy to transfer the Windows font to the Mac -- its own version apparently being rooted deep inside the system.
However, it's not a big issue, as we by default encapsulate Symbol with a character style. So when ID alerts us, all we have to do is redefine this style, be it on Windows or on Mac. Fortunately I've never seen text reflowing because of this (knocks on plywood desk).

Seem like only the Root mac is changing and not the root bridge.

Hi ,
Seems you are getting superior BPDU from Gi0/2 . mac address 0000.0000.0080 below is Xerox corporation .
Do you have xeror switches in your network . Trace the mac and check if you have really a xeror switch and that suppose to be a root bridge. If not then decrease the xeror switch priority .
http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/?string=0000.0000.0080
If its not a switch then check why its generating a bpdu . If it is not require then shutdown the box or change the priority .

Qmasterd process doesn't run as root

I've just installed Compressor 4.0.2 on three of my laptops. On my main working computer Compressor refuses to work as the master. On my two other computers it works just fine with identical settings. I found out that on these two Macs the process qmasterd runs as root permanently (also when Compressor is not running) whereas on the "problem" Mac it runs with my user previleges. The process disappears when I quit Compressor on this machine. Activity Monitor tells me that qmasterd was started by launchd (on the two other Macs) and by Compressor itself (on the "problem" Mac).
I reinstalled Compressor and ran "Compressor Repair" with no success. I reinstalled MacOS 10.7.3, disabled the firewall, repaired permissions, used ethernet and WIFI connections, nothing. I read so many forum posts which don't give any solution for my problem.
When I try to form a cluster on the "problem" Mac an error comes up: "SwampDaemon::NFSPublisher: authorization has expired". Sometimes there is no error message at all.
Remember: With identical settings Compressor works as expected on two other Macs.

Ever get any resolution on this? I am having the same issue.

Auto clearing of "On My Mac" mailbox.

Can anyone tell me how to auto clear this mail box (eg after one day or one week). I have 3 accounts all working correctly, but this one, as there is no account set up with this name, i cannot configure the junk box to clear it automatically.
Thank you

From the Mail Help:
Mail in Mac OS X v10.4 no longer creates an On My Mac folder for mailboxes saved on your computer. When you upgrade to Mac OS X v10.4, the mailboxes that were in your On My Mac mailbox now appear at the root level of the mailbox list.
To recreate your mailbox organization:
Choose Mailbox > New Mailbox.
Enter a name for the mailbox and click OK.
Drag the mailboxes that used to be in On My Mac to the new mailbox.
You might want to give the new mailbox the name of the email account it's used for, or call it On My Mac to match the organization in previous Mac OS X systems.
Its a holdover from the previous Mail organization scheme. Just select the "On My Mac" Junk Mailbox and Delete it.

Using Time Machine to setup new Mac

I have just bought a new Mac and need to take all the data for 3 users from the old one. The old Mac is backed up using Time Machine to an external 500Gb Firewire drive.
The problem is that I can't do all the data transfer in one go and due to space and time restrictions I will need to take a couple of sessions to complete all this. This is what I was thinking of doing ...
Backup old Mac using Time Machine
Create a Root account on new Mac
Log in as root and run Migration Assistant and restore user1 and user 2 and user3 from FW drive
Pack away new Mac and plug Time Machine drive back onto old Mac
Old Mac continues updating this Time Machine drive until a few days later ...
I can either just plug in the Time Machine drive to the new Mac and restore back to just after the point I was on the first installation or I could just repeat the whole thing again. There is over 300Gb of data to transfer which is why I would prefer to not have to run the whole restore again and just pick up the changes.
Thanks

Trying to mate a TM backup to a new computer is an exercise in futility, IMO. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1872713 for caveats upgrading a PPC (your G5) to an ICBM (Intel-chip-based Mac). SuperDuper!, Carbon Copy Cloner, Disk Utility, etc. can create a bootable backup/clone of your existing system to an external, bootable FireWire (recommended)/USB 2 external HD (usable with the new machine, but won't boot the old one, and is about 40% slower than FW). Once that's finished and tested to ensure it looks and acts as the original, just walk it over to the new machine, boot it up, and use the Migration Assistant to move your stuff, as described in the above link.
What I just did with a new 24"iMac and transfer stuff from a G4 (which was running Leopard) was to initially boot the machine, enter the same username/password combo, internet settings, and finish up. When the machine pops up the Desktop, Software Update will run an offer a host of updates. DON'T install them, but go to System Preferences, launch SU, and disable its auto-check and install option. That comes later. Then, I manually transferred my G4's user folder to the iMac's Desktop. Next, I started moving stuff from that folder into its appropriate places in the new user's folder. For instance, I replaced the current login.keychain with the former (thus bringing over all previously saved username/password combos), replaced the new Safari folder with the old (preserving all bookmarks, history, etc.), replaced the cookies.plist in Cookies, all preference files (except those in the ByHosts subfolder), merged everything in the other Library folders, mergee\d the Documents, Desktop, Music,Movies, and Pictures folders.
Launched System Preferences and opened each prefPane, checking and modifying as necessary. Note that one significant change is the mouse—the iMac ships with a Mighty Mouse, which has many new functions over the previous single-button mouse. Once that was finished, I restarted, repaired permissions, launched Safari to ensure it workedjust like the old versioni, checked e-mail (I use Eudora), and when I was satisfied everything was working as intended, I made another clone, so I could forego the previous if something went wrong. Note that many Dock icons will showup as plain files with a question mark (since you haven't installed the missing 3rd-party items—just ignore that—but they will identify what they should be pointing to.
After recloning, launched Software Update and let it install everything, except the Time Machine and Airport updates, since I don't use them, and repaired permissions. After ensuring that everything worked as expected, I updated the second clone, launched the Migration Assistant.app, only selected applications, and migrated them. Next, I replaced the ? Dock icons with their real aliases, launched each to ensrure they worked, restarted, and did one more permissions repair.
The only complication I ran across was that QuickTime lost its Pro registration information, so I had to putit back in. About the only thing that ran on my old machine under Tiger runs under Leopard, but I've been updating them for the past 20 months while beta-testing Leopard. AppleWorks 6.2.9, Quicken 2005-07, Eudoira 5.2.1, MS Office 2004, TurboTax 07, and just about everything except Unsanity's haxies (nonbetas) runs under Leopard.
