Migration created new User, can I do without?

Got a new iMac and I'm migrating from an iBook G4. Set up users on the iMac and then went back to migrate info. While going through all this, Migration Asst. mentions to me that there is already a user with that name on the new computer (duh, I am setting things up the same way as I had them on my G4) and I was asked to rename the user on the OLD COMPUTER. I did so, but when I finished, I couldn't find anything on the iMac. Logged out and found a new user acct with the revised name. Everything was transferred to that user.
So, I want to use the old info that was transferred with the original user and delete the revised-name user. Not sure how to set up access to all of that. Do I need to redo things? The user I want to stick with is the main one, the admin.
This is probably basic, but I found it annoying. I just wanted to migrate my stuff to the new machine, to the user I was logged in as.
Any suggestions or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

you can not do that. there is no way to merge two users. certainly, no automatic way to do it. you should decide which user you want to use and stick with that. the best and the easiest is to use the migrated user. if you do it right after you set up the computer there are no issues with that as the originally created admin user account is empty. also, if you use setup assistant during the original computer setup to migrate from the old account it won't even create any other users beside the migrated one.
Any suggestions or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

  • Can't create new users in Administration Services Console

    Hi,
    I am following directions in the Essbase DBA guide for creating new users, as it says you must create a partition user to work with Samppart and Sampeast applications. It tells me to log on to Administration Services Console, go to the Administration Server, and right-click on users to create a new user. However, when I right-click, the option to Create New User is light grey and not clickable, neither is the option to refresh users. Can anyone tell me why I can't create a new user? I am logged in with the username: admin password: password that I set during configuration and that should be the Administrative account.

    Hi,
    What version are you using? If it is 9 then you need to create the user in shared services. I just checked and the option to create a user is greyed out for me too and I am an admin.
    It sounds like you haven't externalised the users which is why the option to do a refresh is not there.
    Thanks,

  • Can't create new users after GroupWise is moved from NetWare to Linux

    Hi,
    I moved GroupWise (Version 6.5 SP 6, single domain and single office)
    from NetWare 6.5 server to SUSE Linux Enterprise server 9. It seems the
    GroupWise server is running oaky. Existing users are able to connect
    their mail box and send and receive messages. But I can't create new
    users on the GroupWise server.
    I used ConsoleOne installed on the Linux server to create new GroupWise
    users. It seemed that I was able to do it. The new users appear on the
    NDS and the GroupWise File IDs were assigned for these users. And I was
    able to add these new users to distribution lists. But the users DB
    files (userXXX.db) were not created under /grpwise/po/ofuser on the Linux
    server and they cannot connect to the server. Old users cannot find them
    in Novell GroupWise Address book.
    Does anyone how to fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    This clearly sounds like your domain (which is the part of groupwise
    which you admin against) doesn't/can't talk to the postoffice, so the
    change you made (to the domain) does never get to the PO (which is where
    the addressbook of your other users come from, and is what is
    responsible for creating the user DB). This seems very likely to be
    caused by your move not being done properly, and old information (either
    path or IP address) for the PO still being in the domain and/or domain
    database.
    So how's the domain linked to the PO?

  • If you can't 'Create new user account' - try this!

    Over the last few days I've wasted many hours trying unsuccessfully to create a new user account so I can post to Apple Discussions. Kept going round an endless loop, back to the 'Create New User Account' form. Tried every possible solution I found through internet searches, to no avail.
    The answer, for me, turned out to be simply choosing a different alias - one that nobody else was using, presumably.
    Why, oh why, isn't there an error message that tells you this? It would have saved me so much time and frustration - and many other people too, I'm sure.

    Welcome, finally, to Discussions - you are not the first to complain about this, if you like, you can go to app.com/feedback and register your complain there as well.

  • Visual Adminstrator: can not create new users

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with my "Sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver 04 - Full Java Edition with Web AS Java 6.40, MaxDB, and Developer Studio" (NW04 SP15) installation. Whenever I start the visual administrator I can not create a new user. All buttons excepting the Refresh Button are disabled.
    If I use the web (http://..../useradmin) I can create new users.
    Now I want to change Security Policies in the Visual Administrator. But the problem is the same.
    Does anyone know any solution?
    Best Regards,
    tobi

    Hi Tobias,
    In VA => Security Provider there is a change button ("pencil") in the top of the right frame. You should enable other buttons by clicking this one.

  • I created new users on my mac and my music, photos, etc. is still on the administrators account. How can I share them with all users?

    I created new users on my mac and my music, photos, etc. are all still on the administrators account. I tried making the other 2 new accounts administrators but that didn't work. How can I share them with all users?

  • Old user account not accessible - Had to create new user account

    Why was I forced to create a new user account in order to access Apple discussions? The last time I had posted to Apple discussions was 11/06. From the emails notifying me of replies to my post, I can still go to the link where my question and the replies are. Last week I wanted to post another question. Instead I encountered a circular problem. Every time I tried to log in to discussions with my Apple ID and password (the same as my .Mac name and password, which were working fine for accessing .Mac), I was told that there was an error in my password. When I tried again, I was repeatedly re-directed to a "create new user account" web page that listed my .Mac email address as my Apple ID, as it should have. I tried to re-create my old user account with my own [real] name (as before) and was told that name was in use! Of course, it was me! (I had always used by real first name and surname as my name on Apple discussions.) So finally, very frustrated, I created a new name, a nickname, for discussions, and it worked. Now, all my previous posts are gone. It's as if I didn't exist in the Apple world until today, 9/16/07, but I originally had established my user account in 2004. I tried asking about this in a phone call to Apple support, but I was re-directed to the .Mac web site. Then I posted a question at .Mac feedback to no avail. I had a feeling that as soon as I "obeyed" and created a new user account that wouldn't be recognized as myself, my past posts would be sent into oblivion. I don't like losing all my previous posts that were attached to my user account. I have found this problem very frustrating and would really like an explanation.

    Hi decemberbaby,
    Try this procedure.
    Delete all the Apple Cookies in your browser, and empty the Cache.
    Go here Discussions Sign In, and try logging in with your original Apple ID again.
    If that still doesn't work, delete the Cookies again, and go to My Info, and log in with the original Apple ID.
    If you get the error message "Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly.", click on "Did you forget your password? Click here for assistance".
    On the page that opens, you can also click on "Forget your Apple ID

    Problem
    previously both of the system HLC and MFG is in level 6 SP ABAP and BASIS
    when i try to create EWA report for both of them, i have missing module in the report
    and i read a note that i need to upgrade to level 8.
    when i upgrade both of them to level 7, then i run sgen and there are no problem on both system
    but when i upgrade both of them to level 8
    in my MFG system, i can run sgen with no problem.
    in my HLC system, i run sgen and it take a long time to validate the programs which are need to be recompiled. so i never run sgen to recompile on HLC system after i update the SP to level 8. but i believe this shouldnt be an issue.
    the day after i update the SP, one of my user raise an issue.
    (same issue is not happened in MFG system only in HLC system)

  • Not able to create new users or groups

    hi all,
    We have configured multiple LDAPs by changing XML file.
    But now we are not able to create new users or groups.It is giving error saying that "Adapter is configured as read-only"
    Can anybody help me out in this problem.
    Thanking You,
    Amol.

    For multiple LDAPs to work we have downloaded the Xml file namely "Flat hierarchy + Database "
    We made the necessary changes and then uploaded it.
    Now we want to create users or groups in portal-database and not in LDAP. But it is throwing error saying that "Adapter is read only". We suppose that it is trying to create users and groups in LDAP.
    So can anyone help us to create users or groups in portal-database.
    Thanking You,
    Amol.

  • Problem in creating new user

    Hai all,
    I am new to Portals, when I am trying to create a new user it was displayed as "<b>User could not be created</b>". What is the actual process of creating a new user and how to work with that user. I have gone through some of the discussions in the form but unable to create the new one.
    Can any help on this please.
    Suma...

    Hi,
    Actual process of creating the user is
    logon to http://server:port/irj
    goto user administration
    goto users
    click create new user
    fill up all mandatory fields, define the data as configured (for e.g. password alphanumeric etc
    click create.
    You should be able to create the user.
    If this process doesnot work check ur UME store settings? if it is in LDAP server check if your LDAP is ab to craete new users etc? you can also try to create new users from Visual Admin .
    logoff and then try to login with the newly created user it should show password expire screen.

  • How to create new user with more than one default folder

    hi
    A new user created in OCS has only one default folder(Inbox).
    I want to create new user with customized default folder.
    for example:
    a new user has more than one default folder(Inbox,Outbox,Draft,Dustbin...)
    And also I want to automaticly enable the functions:
    When sending messages, place a copy in Outbox
    Keep message drafts in Draft
    Move deleted messages to Dustbin
    who know that?
    thanks

    The same reason that Apple and 3rd Party vendors put multi-size templates in one file I expect. I am trying to construct an in-house standard template for use in our company, and it is easier to manage if there is only one file to send to people rather than many - both initially and for subsequent edits / updates to the template.
    Of course it would be possible to create several templates (one for each size). But since it is clear that templates can be combined, it appears sensible to do this - unless the doing of it is horridly complicated

  • Creating New Users for RDBMS realm

    I am currently creating new users in the RDBMS realm
    by an EJB that will insert into the "Users" table. Is this
    the correct way to create users or should I be calling
    methods on classes in examples.security.RDBMSRealm?
    Thanks
    Bill.

    Thanks a lot for the guideline.
    I can able to create multiple users using Import option of the user administration but i have one more question regarding the same.
    What about the password setting of these newly created users. Or can the set the password field in test file?? Because when we export the user, it is not showing any Password field.
