Mavericks doesn't recognise administrator account

So I was updating to Yosemite and it failed so I did a install of Mavericks from Recovery Disk and when I was trying to create a Time Machine Backup it asked for a Administrator account name and Password.
Now I entered my user name and password and it didn't worked. I tried Keychain First Aid Repair. It fixed few things. It didn't changed the situation. So I did Repair Disk Permission from Recovery Console and it also did some corrections but eventually I can authenticate with my User name and password. I can login successfully using same creds but here even after 3-4 unsuccessful attempts when it shows the same password hint as I had set, its not accepting. Previously the account name was set to Pankaj and I just had to enter the password. Can anyone help?

Maverick doesn't recognise iPod touch 4th generation on iTunes

my macbook pro late 2011 doesn't recognise iPod touch 4th gen 6.1.5 on iTunes. I read another thread how to sync via WiFi or ethernet but i don't understand. I just want to sync my music.not apps.

1.Does iTunes give you a message to Erase and Sync, are you trying to put Music from your iPod into iTunes?
2. if the iPod Touch is just not showing up, Go to the Black Apple in the top left hand corner, Select About this Mac, then Click on More Info, the Click on System Report, Under Hardware go to USB is the iPod showing up there in the USB device Tree?
If yes to 1., this is not possible, download Third Party Application and Procede from there
If the device is not showing up in 2. , are there any other items connected to the Computer via USB, if yes, you have a bad cable or bad pin on the ipod touch, if not connect something else to the USB and see if it shows up in 2.
If you do not have any other things connected to the computer via USB and can not connect anything else to a USB try Removing everything from the ports of the computer, Quit any applications, then Shut Down the Computer
When the Computer is shut down
Reset SMC Hold "Control+Option+Shift ( on the left hand side of the computer) and the Power Key all at the same time,for about 10 seconds, if you do this correctly then the computer will NOT Turn On
Then Locate Command+Option+P+R (the last two are letter keys), You will need to press and hold these buttons after Powering on the Computer and hearing the Startup Chime, if you do this correctly the Computer will go Black, White, and the make the Chime again
If this does not solve the Issue and the Device is still not showing up in 2. then you have a hardware problem on the computer and need to get your USB ports replaced

Imac doesn't recognise administrator

Just installed OSX Leopard on an Imac G5. Now it won't connect to the printer or allow any more software updates

Have you gone to Get Info on the printer and made sure that you have read and write permissions? Try performing a PRAM reset .
Please let us know if that helps.

Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.

Office 365 MP Config Issue - Account doesn't have administrator permissions

SCOM 2012 R2 RU3 | Windows Server 2012 R2
I just configured this MP in the environment using the following references:
Office 365 MP Operations Guide
Reference 1
Reference 2
In addition I've configured the Office 365 Subscription Proxy secure reference.
When looking in the SCOM console I only see one error:
Source: Office 365 Monitoring
Full Path Name: Office 365 Monitoring
Alert Monitor: Office 365 Connection State monitor
Created: 1/14/2015 4:42:56 PM
Account doesn't have administrator permissions
Knowledge: View additional knowledge...
Summary
The monitor oversees the availability connection to Office 365 API EndPoint.
Causes
An error state is caused by having issues with connecting to Office 365 API EndPoint. It can be caused by:
• Issues with global connection to Office 365 API EndPoint
• Credentials for Office 365 Subscription's account are not correct
• Office 365 Subscription's account is not allowed to getting data from Office 365 EndPoint API
I've verified that the account is able to log into the server, has the _identifier, and global admin permissions in the Office 365 admin console.
Wondering if there's anything I may have missed.
Any responses appreciated.

Verify that a proxy account is domain account.

How do I create an administrator account?

Recently my macbook started acting up so I sent it to the school computer people. They fixed and gave it back. Now whenever I try and download an application or software, it asks for an administrator username and password. Nothing works. I checked the accounts in system preferences. Both accounts are standard. The computer people say I need an administrator account.
anyone know how to do this?

The article Kappy linked to is for 10.5. While it may also work for 10.4, this is a safer procedure: I lost my admin user (Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier), since it doesn't require you to enable the root account.

Problem with software update - now can't log on to administrator account

Hello -
I updated software yesterday and didn't pay attention to what was updating. I always just install the updates when they come up.
Now I can't login to my administrator account or change the password. I could log into another account, but iTunes won't stay open. It opens for about 10 seconds then closes.
So I'm assuming that the updates were a mac OSX update and an iTunes update.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix?
Is there anyway to "undo" the most recent update?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi jamendan, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

I have a new PC and I am getting the message "The iTunes Library File cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I am the only one using this PC and I have Windows 7 Pro and have an administrator account. Help

Can anyone help me with this problem. ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC. I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC. I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem. I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account. Can anyone help?

A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

Former Employee Obtained access to Administrator Account somehow and has been messing with roles, files ect... Just a question...

Ok, so about six months ago, my company let go of their Systems Administrator because she was causing many problems in the workplace... Yesterday morning i logged onto the server and found several files open with her name on them, including her confidentiality
agreement, and Employment offer letter, as well as the confidential folder that holds all employees personal identity information (she remote into the Server about 10 Minutes before i logged in, thus kicking her off not allowing her to close what she was opening/copying.
I attempted to check the logs to see what IP she was connecting with but was only able to find the following:
She remoted into the server about through Remote Desktop about 20 times on the 27th of May 2014, (horrible weather and she was probably logging in in a McDonald's Wifi and it kept kicking her off).
I took the day off because my area was flooded and couldnt make it to work.
She logged on, on the 28th of May, 2014 about 16 times before i logged on kicking her off, leaving everything she was doing open for me to see.
Everytime i remote into the server from my house or the office i get the following...

As you can see no IP address is shown unlike everyone other PC that remotes into the server... She has been using our server as her personal file host for her real estate business, she was fired last year for sabotaging AutoCad drawings her ex boyfriend
was working on (they are back together and was the one she set up with full access to server) and she has been adding and modifying files in her group drive via the administrator account. She also disabled several roles we had installed, and gave her
boyfriend (who happens to work at the company) More administrator right than myself, as I built the server from ground up, and Only the Company owners had access to remote desktop, besides the administrator account... I want to make sure she didn't create
any hidden accounts that she can still log into.. I found under ADSI Edit Under Domain Controllers, Subscription Properties an account (servername$) which doesn't not show up in active directory, but had full access to everything... Is there a way to uncover
hidden Accounts she may have created to get into the server, as I've know from previous experiences, that $ sign normally refers to a hidden account or file of some sort.. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, The FBI is currently investigating
the situation, but i am trying to make sure all my basis are covered so this doesn't happen again... Thank you for taking the time to read my long ass thread, I will bestow upon you great fortune and Karma for any help given =-D

Hello,
the $ behind the machine name object is normal.
For security related questions please use
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winserversecurity
Also I would immediately remove all people form any kind of administrative groups, MUST of course be agreed from the company owner, then change the administrator account password. If there is a need for the additional administrators the company chief
has to agree on this and there should also be made some clear rules, maybe from a lawyer about consequences etc. Remote access to the network should be blocked or made more secure with two factor authentication, tokens for example, just using Remote Desktop
at the moment I would not allow until the network is better secured and you can be sure there are no unknown administrative accounts.

Macbook air: you do not have sufficient access privileges. you need to run this game from an administrator account??? I'm already on the administrator account?

I bought a mac game from www.gamehouse.com. Downloaded it and now trying to install to play. But everytime I go to install, a message keeps popping up telling me "Your account doesn't have sufficient access privileges. You will need to run this game once from an administrator account. Afterwards you will be able to run it from this account." I am already on the administrator account. Can someone please help?!

Only the developer can fix his apparently defective product.

My Macbook doesn't recognise the startup disk

I started having problems with Yosemite and lion (installed in the same hard drive, different partitions) so i erase all and instal mavericks, the macbook is late 2009 stock but i don't have startup disk, when i install mavericks it tells me that wont boot and it went an error trying to install, so i am able to boot with the alt key but my mac doesn't recognise de boot disk, when i try to select the startup disk on preferences it tells me: "You can’t change the startup disk to the selected disk. The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk.", what i can do, i can boot with the alt key but it doesn't boot automatically.

If you erase a drive, then in order to install Lion or later you must first install Snow Leopard 10.6.8. You can install Snow Leopard using the installer discs that came with your computer when it was new. You can then update the version of Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 by downloading the combo updater.

Domain Administrator account being locked up by PDC

Hi everyone,
My PDC is locking up my domain administrator (administrateur in french) account.
System event logs :
The SAM database was unable to lockout the account of Administrateur due to a resource error, such as a hard disk write failure (the specific error code is in the error data) . Accounts are locked after a certain number of bad passwords are provided so please
consider resetting the password of the account mentioned above.
Level : Error
Source : Directory-Services-SAM
Event ID : 12294
Computer : Contoso-PDC
User : System
There is absolutely no events in the security events log, not a single "Audit Failure" event for the "administrateur" account.
I tried to change the name of the domain administrator account from "administrateur" to "administrator".
Now there is "Audit failure" events poping up in the security event logs.
Once again the Source Workstation is the PDC. I guess those events are there because it receive credential validation for an account who doesn't exist anymore since it have been renamed in "Administrator".
Here is the detail log :
An account failed to log on.
Subject:
Security ID: NULL SID
Account Name: -
Account Domain: -
Logon ID: 0x0
Logon Type: 3
Account For Which Logon Failed:
Security ID: NULL SID
Account Name: Administrateur
Account Domain: CONTOSO
Failure Information:
Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password.
Status: 0xc000006d
Sub Status: 0xc0000064
Process Information:
Caller Process ID: 0x0
Caller Process Name: -
Network Information:
Workstation Name: CONTOSO-PDC
Source Network Address: -
Source Port: -
Detailed Authentication Information:
Logon Process: NtLmSsp
Authentication Package: NTLM
Transited Services: -
Package Name (NTLM only): -
Key Length: 0
This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.
The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.
The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).
The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.
The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.
The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.
On the PDC i checked :
Services : None of them are started with the "administrateur" account
Network Share : There is no network share ...
Task Scheduler : None of the tasks are launch with the "administrateur" account.
And the logon type (3:network) seem to indicate that the login comes from an other computer but i have nothing to look for, not a single IP.
Any ideas?
ps : Sorry for the probable english mistakes :(

Hi,
Thanks for you answers.
San4wish :
Lockout tool confirm that the domain administrator account is locked on my PDC. I didn't run eventcomb but i though it only helped parsing security event logs which i did "manually". Anyway i'll try eventcomb after this week end.
About the conficker worm : I looked into it and this worm was exploiting a vulnerability in the server service. It have been patched by MS08-067 (KB958644) and this kb isn't available for Windows 2008 R2 and Windwos 2012 so i guess Windows 2008 R2 have
fixed this vulnerabilty.
So i doubt its a conficker type worm.
Also i gave the PDC role to another DC (let's call him DC2) and now DC2 is locking the administrator account so it seems that the computer locking the account is doing it through the network and it's not something executed on the DCs.

Acrobat/CS5.5 won't open from a non-Administrator account

I have an intermittent problem that occurs when I double-click a .pdf file from a non-Administrator account. Acrobat.exe shows up as an active process in Task Manager, but Acrobat never actually launches or opens the file. My administrator doesn't have this problem from his account on the same computer. This is an intermittent problem that occurs about 70% of the time I try to open a .pdf. I am also unable to launch Acrobat from the Start menu when I am experiencing the problem. I am running Windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I completed all of the recommendations and I am still having this problem. I'm going to completely uninstall all Adobe products and re-install again. Is there any recommended steps for a complete uninstall?

Hi ..
Reset the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
Those instructions are for Mavericks but will work on Yosemite as well.
Then try the USB modem.
