Made changes 'User/Info/Perm'. Stuck @ Grey window @ StartUp

So I made some slight changes on my MB Wh w/Osx Lion.; made changes in 'User/Info/Perm'. Now I'm Stuck @ StartUp w/the grey window w/apple logo.
Attempted to repair permissions & 'repaired disk' in DU. So from there in detail please, then what???
Note: I have no recent or any backup, no install cd, nor the orig install disk. Acquired this 2nd or 3rd hand.
Thanks so much.

Sorry me again w/ the MacBook Wh/2009 & Osx Lion "stuck at grey screen" issue. So I did as advised, but it shows the Recovery Hd, but it says it's locked? Now what should I do???
Keep in mind I am not the original owner therefore I have none of the original discs. Plus it's been who knows how long since I'attempted' to back it up. Yes I know very careless on my part. But could you help me Not lose what data I have... Please????

Change user info/outlook email

I have a corporate account and would like to change the user info on a Blackberry Curve 8530 from one user to another. I can see the settings for the old user that I want to delete. But before I did that I wanted to add an additional outlook account. Do I need to delete the original user first because it won't let me add another?

Unlikely the Verizon store can help - they do not have access to Apple accounts

Stuck in Windows Startup Repair Loop - U410

Hey guys, back with another problem. I'm this close to just giving up on this laptop.
I had used the laptop last night like to normally do - emailed some people, checked the mail, wrote some homework up. Shut down normally when I was done. I opened it this morning only to find thecomputer going into Windows Startup Repair.
I shrugged and said okay. the repair happened quickly and it then took me to the normal loading screen.
At which it stayed on loop for about an hour (I was able to watch a movie in the meantime on my phone only to see that it still wasn't done). I then forced shut down through the power button. Waited roughy a minute and then started t up again. This time I picked the option of Start Windows Normally hoping to see if a shut down from there would fix the problem. Only it was stuck on the loading screen for about twenty minutes.
Force shut down again. I went back to starting windows repair like it prompted me to do. Another hour wait at the looping startup screen.
I wish I could post a picture of the thing for you to see.
This is roughly my sixth or seventh time trying to start the computer.
I've also tried that method with the NOVO button as some posts say to do, but nothing is happening.
Should I just take the laptop into my nearest bestbuy or future shop??

I can't seem to access safe mode at all - I did the option of pressing F8 repeatedly but it seemed to ignore it and go into the option of either starting the Repair or running windows normally.
Once it does the repair, it stays on this screen indefinitely. The same goes with trying to start windows normally - it stays on the Loading Windows screen.

Changed "Get Info" permissions, now system won't load

I made a huge mistake and hope someone can help. I clicked on the Macintosh HD icon, did "Get Info" and under Sharing, changed the setting for "Everyone" to "No access". I left the user (read/write) and admin settings the same. Immediately after, access to everything was cut off. After restarting the computer, the apple icon loads, the the spinner starts to show the system loading, then it freezes owith the grey screen + apple, but that's it. I've restarted multiple times, got in via command -R and checked out disk utilities - disk and permissions verify fine. Any ideas, or idid I forever padlock this system??

Hi,
I have the same problem by applying accidently the "permission No Access to Macintosh HD icon. After I restared the computer, the apple icon loads, the the spinner starts to show the system loading, then it freezes with the grey screen. I've restarted multiple times and tried via command -R and checked out disk utilities - disk and permissions verify fine. I tried to load OSX Lion from the Apple website (by Command+R procces), entering my Apple ID and Password but I got the message that my software (OSX Lion) was not bought by this ID.
I precise that I bought my iMac used with OSX Lion already installed on it about 2 years ago.
I am an Apple customer since 2005 and I bought other computer from Apple but this is the first time I have a problem.
I am really stuck and any help or assistance would be realy appreciated.
Thank you and best regards

Genius is evil - madly changing track info in the background

I think I've figured out why iTunes, starting in version 8, has been behaving strangely. It's Genius.
I started out noticing that when double-clicked a song in the list view to play that it would jump to the end of that album's list. This drove me nuts. If I double-clicked each song, it would do this for each and then i could play the album how I wanted. I thought maybe it was tinkering with the track number info but couldn't find anything different.
Then I started playing songs that I didn't have album, album artist, or composer information for and saw that once I played it, iTunes immediately updated to show me this information filled in. Now I was mad, b/c in a lot of instances the album information was some screwy greatest hits or tribute album. It finally dawned on me when I played a song and saw a foreign language soundtrack show up in the album field. Genius was filling in my missing information with information from how other users have classified that track. Yikes!
So I've disabled Genius, but the damage is done as soon as Genius does that analysis of your library.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm going to wipe my library and reimport everything, hoping that iTunes hasn't written the changes to the tag but only in the library. I wish Genius behaved more intelligently...
Can someone confirm that Genius is changing/adding track info where it perceives mine is missing or incorrect?

I had the same problem! I realized it today and googled my problem. I guess Zune is just really dumb at figuring out song information. I noticed it today when I had 42 new Rihanna tracks in my library. Apparently Zune took several songs that had nothing from Track 1 (etc), Unknown Artist and Album as its song information and changed it to some random album by Rihanna and did the tags completely excluding the Tracks. I have NO idea how it came to that conclusion as the songs were actually Soca music from Trinidad! FAR from Rihanna!!
Other than that, sadly, I like Zune software better than iTunes on my Vista machine. The visualizer is the part that gets me. It's great for just playing music and I have something better to look at than just some seizer causing fullscreen lines. I have dual monitors and the full screen visualizer acts as if its a background so its sexii

What can I do?

Hi Intesabra,
Have you made any modifications to the machine before the issue?
First of all ,I would suggest you to update the machine manually.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\Check for updates.
I also suggest you to perform a full scan with the antivirus software to eliminate the virus issue considering this issue is a little wierd. We can do this in safe mode to improve the scanning quality.
Run "services.msc" to check the status of "User Profiles Service" and ensure it is running.
Run "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" or "sfc /scannow" to check the health of the whole system files.
Considering this issue occurred recently, we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point.
Best regards

Changing user folder permissions

My wife and I both have admin accounts on my computer. I want to be able to easily transfer files from my user folder to hers without running into permissions problems. For example, I may want to take a photo from my Pictures folder and drop it in her Pictures folder. I can't do that because access is blocked to everyone but her. It's irritating to have to drop the file on a neutral ground, log in to her account, and take the file and put it in her folder. I logged in as root and tried to change the permissions by giving admin group read and write privileges but it gives an error of -60002 if I try that. I can't change the permissions while not logged in as root since the option is greyed out. Any ideas? I don't care one bit about "compromising security".

Hi Xeep,
Error -60002 is "The authorization parameter is invalid".
From your account, have you first tried changing the Owner to yu, then the Group to admin, then the owner back to her?
Or better yet, try BatChMod...

Verizon mades changes in the coding and now Windows Phone 7 is having data issues!!!

Starting about 3 weeks ago, I stopped receiving text messages and even worse stopped receiving calls yet alone my voicemails. I have changed not one thing to my phone, everything is exactly the way it was before the issues arised. Now I have to trick my phone to receive my data by dialing into my voicemail... And then what do you know, 30 text mesages, 12 voicemails!!!
The voicemails wont even tell you the date or time stamp (the time the voicemail was received). After numerous *228 and talking with level 2 over the holidays, I see a huge article on multiple news sites stating Verizon is having data issues... Dropped calls, loss of data, no signal while all our phone keep showing full bars and 3g. Verizon stated its only happening on there 4gLTE system and not 3G but thats a load of crap.
All one has to do is a google search of loss of text messages or voicemails on Verizon and you will see 100's up to 1000's of users like you and me all experiencing the same issues. And not just with Windows Phone 7, but with there baby Driod and iPhone as well.
What really ****** me off is that Verizon loves to play the blame game or pass the buck game. Hard Reset your phone and that will solve the problem... Yeah Right. If this was our OS and we updated a driver that changed the OS in the background I can see that being the solution. But for the 100's or 1000's of users that go to work daily, check there emails and text daily, and haven't changed one thing on the phone... THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Now I read an articile for someone extermely close to Microsoft stating that Verizon turned down Nokia's new 4GLTE phone because they have no faith in the operating system and I have to think that maybe behind the scenes Verizon is trying to force us off Windows Phone 7 platform with data issue behind the scene and try to get us all into the Droid Platform which they make 50% of the cash off the phone just like the iPhone...
This is a joke, and I am really starting to think about going to ATT and getting the HTC Titan or the new Nokia 900. I have already research a 3 party app that will allow you to backup and restore your phone. And just read that Microsoft just put out an ad for backup, restore and cloud backup programmers for this latest feature.
Verizon the games need to stop, Verizon you need to stand behind this Platform, Verizon you need to provide better service for all us 3G users!!!

Better to move down again to Windows 7.

Changing User Plist Permissions

I notice that by default user specific plists have perimissions of 600 though system wide plists have permissions of 644 or higher.
I'd like to enble group read to some of these user plists, however upon gui login/logout I notice that the OS reverts them back to 600.
Does anyone have any idea why? Seems strange. I've seen this behavior on both lion and snow leopard.

Anyone know how to change user info in logic pro 9?

Want to know if it is possible to change the user information in logic pro 9...tried all the options in preferences and nothing...any ideas? Running on lion...

Hi there
Before you begin trying to concoct an elaborate solution, perhaps you might review Jesse Warden's Captivate Player?
Click here to view his site where you may download it
However, in grabbing that link and thinking about your situation, I'm thinking that may not work because it checks off the Captivate movie when it has been selected. You want the check to appear only after a certain score has been reached.
So I'm thinking you would do this using JavaScript and a form. The form element would be the check box. The trick here (as you are probably already aware) is to pass the variable data between pages.
Thinking out loud here: I'm wondering if you would gain anything by using a Frameset?
Wishing I had a neat solution to toss out for you. Unfortunately I don't. Perhaps someone else does! Hope they share it if they do!
Cheers... Rick

G570 gets stuck on windows startup screen, removing battery allows boot up.

Hi,
I have a G570 i5 with 640GB and 4GB ram, it has been working fine up until one month ago. Now for some reason it sometimes get stuck at the windows start up screen. There it sits and never gets any further. I can reboot multiple times with the same effect, then suddenly the Laptop works again, runs and boots fine for a few days until the next random stop.
I have tried the folowing things:
Operating system re-install. No difference, still happens.
System restore. No differnece.
Changing Bios systtings for USB and Disk systems
Virus checked
checked memory and Hard disk drive
Fixed master boot reccord.
The only thing that seems to work is: when the stop happens, shut down laptop. Remove battery. Reboot using mains. This works until the next time, when I then have to put the battery back in.
Any ideas as to what causes this or why it happens? It's driving me crazy as I'm trying to do a dissertation!! When the computer runs it runs well.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Pre,
Sorry to know about your issue as you are unable to use the laptop at all.
Kindly check if you can boot the system into safe mode then uninstall the display driver
Restart the system into normal mode update the BIOS and display driver

Hi mariez,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your Mac is only booting up to a gray screen and I realize how frustrating that can be. There are several different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please use the attached article as a guide for working through these troubleshooting steps.

Strange (foreign) users list in get info/permissions window!

Background info: OS up dated to 10.7.4. I am the admin. Husband is standard user. One group, which includes my husband and I. One guest (no sharing) account created. I can connect remotely to my mac with admin login info.
1. When, applying read and write permissions to HD for the "owners" group (which i created)
"The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/Accusys6xxxx.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."
and
"The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/acfs.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."
2. I created a shared folder (users/me/public/shared)for my husband and I to have dual read and write access. I made this folder last year. Tonight i clicked "get info" and a user named "wheel" had read and write access. I did not create this user. Also "_guest" and "guest" were listed under names in permissions. They had read only access. Additionally, here is a "staff" user and "everyone" users(are they default users). Can I delete all users but admin (me, my husband and our group? "
3. Several times over the last few months, I was concerned about unsual OS performance. I used the disk ustitlty to repair permissions. I see the following often in my repair log. What is "LockScreenLeopard.app" and what does "drw-r--r--" mean?
Permissions differ on “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/Su pport/LockScreenLeopard386.app/Contents/Resources/da.lproj/MainMenu.nib”; should be -rw-r--r-- ; they are drw-r--r-- .
Repaired “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/Su pport/LockScreenLeopard386.app/Contents/Resources/da.lproj/MainMenu.nib”
Do I have a hacker? Do you all use antivurus/spyware software these days? If so what app?

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.

Windows 7, had to change user profile, lost all my Thunderbird info. please help.

Worm or virus caused me to have to change my user profile in Windows 7. I have everything back looking more or less like it did before this disaster on my computer and I am once again able to get into Internet Explorer but when I go to my Thunderbird email, it is as if I have never used it before and it wants me to set it all back up again. All contacts are gone and all my old emails etc. How can I proceed to try to fix this problem?

I just hope you know what you're doing. How those registry manipulations would eliminate a virus infection is a miracle to me. Having said that, viruses are rare today, being infected with some sort of malware is much more likely.
In any case, this is what we have so far:
The old Windows account is underneath 'C:\users\john'.
The new Windows account is underneath 'C:\users\john.john-pc'.
There is an 'appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder in both Windows accounts.
Please confirm.
Also, in the 'john' Windows account there is a Thunderbird profile 'C:\users\john\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\wmekpsyz.default'.
It has a date of /1/29/2015. This would indicate it's a rather new profile. Can you confirm this is your old Thunderbird profile? If so, it should contain all your mail.
What Thunderbird profile do you see underneath 'C:\users\john.john-pc\appdata\roaming\thunderbird?
Can you post the contents of the file profiles.ini for both Windows accounts?

Made changes 'User/Info/Perm'. Stuck @ Grey window @ StartUp
