Mistake, I removed user account safe and takes forever

Can anybody help please, I can't seem to find the complete answer with the search mode.
I bought a new macbookpro and tried to move my large Iphoto library with migration assistent. The assistent created a new user account. I wanted to delete this account and did it in 'safe' mode, stupid me!
It wasn't nessesary because I will be the only one to use this computer. The process of removing (not only the user, but also the 45gig home folder) takes forever... Now more than 24hours and I can't shut down system preferences.
Question: Can I interrupt this process, without affecting my admin account, and re-delete the user in the normal way? (Without the safe-option that overwrites 30 times the things I want to delete) And how?
I know it's best to leave it alone, but time is a factor. Help would be grately appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter

That happened because you didn't do the migration when you first booted up in Setup Assistant. Backup whatever you can, like any bundled software (iLife, iWork)
To re-install Restart computer and hold down Cmd+R. Use DIsk Utility to erase your Mac OS X partition.It will take you to Recovery Volume. Follow the directions from there. It should now boot into Setup Assistant and you can do the migration from there.

Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk. Reboot normally and check the performance. Any improvement?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

All design programs running extremely slow and takes forever to save and sometimes shuts down randomly?

Ok so I'm a design student at a community college (about to graduate soon and will be continuing on getting my BFA) I have all of the creative cloud suite. I have Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, etc. Recently I started having problems with all of the programs. Whenever I work in the programs they would run extremely slow. Recently, I tried to save a .eps file that was only about 1.2 GB and it took me an hour to save, and this was when I was working off of my computer desktop. When I place the .eps file in Indesign, everything would go blank and it would freeze up. Also I had an error sign popping up from InDesign saying "out of memory". Im not sure if that is related to my computer's hard drive or indesign itself. I just started using creative suite so the creative suite is pretty new to me. Sometimes in Indesign when I do the Command+w to preview the whole project, it would be completely black and showing nothing and I would hit escape and the whole software screws up. Then I would do a force quit on the software and then Indesign would say there was a serious error and must shut down. That error message has been popping up several times now. I also talked to Apple support and they suggested me doing a Repair disk utility (which I am currently doing right now) and also recommended me contacting Adobe since they know their software. I checked software to see if there is any updates that is needed but everything is up to date. I'm not quite sure why its acting like this so I'm reaching out both to Apple and Adobe to see if both can help me solve the problem. If anybody had experienced this problem before and could help me troubleshoot this issue that would be great.

I installed the creative suite about a year ago, and this just started happening last weekend. I didn't think it would be a problem and that it would last for a day since I was working on InDesign all day and Illustrator and it usually goes away after I finish using the programs. But this has been occurring for about a week now and has not gone away. and yes the other programs are running slow. I was trying to resize some images for a client and Photoshop was acting extremely slow when I was trying to resize the image and also place an image into a 8x10 document in Photoshop. I'm not sure how to find my system specifications.

Remove user account and archive as disk image error

Hi guys, I'm having some troubles removing a user from a MacBook running 10.6.6. I want to remove the user and archive their home folder as a disk image (in case I ever need to get access to some of their files in the future). I know it's a fairly straightforward process, I've done it before. I log in as admin, go to system preferences, accounts and then select the account and press the "-" button to remove it. I select the "Save home folder in a disk image" option, and click okay, but all I get is the following error message -
"Unable to delete the user account xxxxx
An error occurred while backing up the user's home folder."
No details as to the error, but the console logs give me this info:
7/02/11 5:28:46 PM [0x0-0x52052].com.apple.systempreferences[756]
2011-02-07 17:28:46.418 writeconfig[763:903] DIHLDiskImageCreate failed: 999 (options:{
I've done this many times before, without a hitch - this one is really giving me grief, so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt

Does Disk Utility give your hard drive a clean bill of health?
In any case, I wouldn't try to archive a user's data this way anyway. Far too often I have seen disk images fail to mount with the "no mountable filesystems" error, leaving all the data inside of them irretrievable. It's a much better idea to archive the data into a disk image, and then test that the image correctly mounts, before deleting the user account.
This Terminal command will make a disk image of the user john's home folder and save it in /Users/Shared:
sudo hdiutil create -srcfolder ~john /Users/Shared/john.dmg

User account errors and some work-arounds

1. Migrate multiple users, but second on no set up correctly
I had this when I tried to migrate one user then a second as a subsequent migration. Home directory was created but no user was created in Sys Prefs. Sadly, the user name was created in the system somewhere and I could not re-use.
Workaround. Migrate all users together.
2. Library being duplicated for every user.
My library file is 25Gb, and this is being duplicated for every user. I thought this was a shared resource under Tiger ....? My disk space is taking a hammering.
Workaround: Unknown
3. Delete a user and try to re-add
If you delete a user, and all files etc., you would expect to be able to re-add. Nope. The name remains persistent in some system file(s) somewhere, even after a re-boot.
Workaround: Fresh install. Ugh!
4. Drag-and-drop not working in Finder/Desktop
OK, got drag and drop working on MBP with 10.5.1 and G5 Quad under 10.5.1.
It appears that the second and on users when performing a migrate are not set up properly.
If drag-and-drop isn't working, go into Sys Prefs, Accounts, and create a Group. Add the non-functioning account to the group (I did both).
I ran Repair Permissions (lots of errors that SUID would not fix, to do with frameworks and identities, so I left alone. Many other permissions errors fixed).
Logged out .... btw, intermittent bug where you cannot log out a second account that's running as it doesn't take the name or password. You have to switch user and log it out that way.
Log back to the user with the drag and drop issue. Shutdown and then start back up.
When you log back in, drag and drop should work..... and keep on working whether you switch user etc.
Also, if you now remove the Group from Sys Prefs./Accounts, drag and drop will still continue to work. (I haven't tried a restart to see whether it is persistent though.)
If anyone has better workarounds or - preferably - fixes, please let me know.
Thank you.

Mary,
You do not tell us the method of authentication you have implemented.
If you are having NTIntegrated authentication, you should check if the eliteadm workflow user record contains her nt logon credentials?
You can flag that user as deleted, but before you do, make sure it does not contain any id that you need to use later (such as email or nt account details, if either is used for user identification purposes.)
RE stalling workitem - when you view the details of the stalled record in the 'Stalled workitems' list, you should be able to also read an error message giving you a clue of what went wrong. Either double click on the item to see details in dialog or expand all columns in the console to read details.
Good luck,
Sanna

How do I remove user account with UID=0 (except of root)

Macbook Pro 13; I have Parallels software and did not realize I needed to upgrade to version 10 before upgrading to OS X Yosemite. I get an error stating Parallels 10 cannot be installed because there is a user account other than root that has UID=0. I checked UIDs in Terminal Utilities and there is one other username with UID=0 How do I remove username peggy?

BobM53, That would be needed regardless of what front end my users log in with, in my case I was looking for them to access the DIT via the DSCC/DCC, which is not possible. Regardless, thank you for your reply, it is reassuring to know I am headed in the right direction.
I am now looking towards installing something else like Apache Directory Studio, or some other GUI for users to manage the directory.
I will most likely create one or more ACI's to build groups, adding members to those groups as needed; each group being allowed to perform functions such as create users, lockout users, add/modify hosts, etc.
I will most likely follow the steps outlined in:
Directory Server Groups, Roles, and CoS - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
Slightly OT, does anyone have a suitable and similar proven method to "lockdown" root accounts, and who has root access?
Thank you

Is music in multiple user account supposed to take up more space?

I have two user accounts on my computer and I transferred all of my iTunes music to the second one so it could be accessible from both. But when I did it the memory space on my computer went down. Is this supposed to take up more space?

Hi Bob,
It will do because you have copied the folder to the other account thus doubling the amount of space your music files occupy; you have 2 copies of each song.
If all you want to do is have access to the same iTunes library from multiple accounts on the same computer, the following Apple KB document will help you:

New user account "other" and cant delete it

hi everyone,
i dont know what caused that but since yesterday i have that new user account "other".
i tried to delete it with root-user but it isnt shown there, activate root-user and delete again after restart didnt work either.
is some of the professionals here able to help me? i bad need an idea to fix that. Its on my macbook pro and also at my macpro, both with OS 10.6.8
Only new software i installed was MindManger 9 Upgrade direct from MindJet.
Thanks a lot ;-)

Hi Atlan,
in the forum of Livescribe it is stated as a known problem
They are working on it.
Also some suggestions from other user how to get rid of the account.
I have not tried that as it seems you than delete also the Livescribe account and desktop.
I just wait till an update from Livescribe comes out.
To not show that other account you can change settings for login screen
Just show field name and password.
Now, I believe showing th eother account cannot do harm.
It is not the root account. That's disabled as I have seen.
The only question: Can Livescribe takeover your computer?
And if so, hacking livescribe will possible mean that they can hack your system then?
So, the only rigid solution is: delelete all Livescribe etc. , go to timemachie and set back your system.
But only if I would know the other account can create problems I would take this major step.
For now I wait and see
So, lets see what Livescribe will do and at what speed!

have somebody has any idea how can i do itWe can't help you much because you are using many other classes.... but there is glaring error which I would like to point to, i.e.:
             arguments = new ArrayList();
arguments.remove(id = 1);Just after initializing the ArrayList you are removing the second element, that would surely throw Exception.
I think instead of arguments.remove(1) you have to use:
arguments.add(id = 1);
//OR
arguments.remove(String.valueOf(id=1));But I can't say, I don't know what 'callUpdateProcedure' expects.
Thanks!

User account performance and setup

Hi,
I have a MB Core Duo 2006 model (old I know!) and have tried using user accounts in the past, but have been concerned by the hit they may have on performance (my MB has been slowing down a lot recently). My wife and kids all use the same computer and I have resorted back to everyone using the same account as Fast User Switching had become very slow. Ive just installed an SSD however, and now FUS has sped up, so Im considering whether to start using user accounts again as the benefits I feel could be great.
So, what Id like to know is, if one user leaves loads of applications and programs open and running in one user account, and a second user comes along and needs to use the computer and fast switches to their account, what sort of perfomance hit can be expected? Or does the activity on the first account all get paged to disk as it were and therefore does not occupy any RAM/processor time? If there is a performance hit, what sort of level are we talking about and what can be done to minimise it?
Further to this, my wife and I currently both share the same user account's iTunes for wifi syncing our iOS devices so we can both access the pool of stored apps, media, etc. that we have built up over the years. Is there anyway of ensuring that regardless of which account is open at any one time, all iOS devices will be synced correctly to our single iTunes library as I dont want to have to maintain multiple iTunes libraries??
Finally, how does Time Machine deal with constant user account switching?
Many thanks,
Rich.

Can the split of resource shared between background and foreground accounts be managed by the user in anyway??
I don't think there is any easy way to allocate the Mac's resources, and I wouldn't be playing with its deep processes anyway, but consider this.
Modern computers are powerful out of the box, and they have oodles of RAM (potentially) and gigabytes of hard disk real estate to stroll around, so I don't think a lack of resources is a real concern.
I read on x704.net that the Mars Rover is running on a 200 Mhz CPU from the late 90's! the same used in the Apple G3.
Modern Macs are pretty powerful to handle more than one user.
The most resource intensive activities on the CPU are file transferring and processing parrticularly large media file sizes , and internet streaming of video which is heavy. Apart from these activities any other activities can be run simultaneously without too much drag.
It is not the amount of data loaded in RAM or paged out to Disk, but rather the CPU cycles devoted to a task that will slow things or crash the computer.
I used to play SecondLife and sometimes played two characters from two accounts (FUS) when I wanted to give some resources from one to the other, on the one Mac without any slowdown, despite SL being a resource intensive game.
If you add more RAM Rich, I think your Mac should be able to handle more than one account open. Computers can be pushed, their only stress is heat, for there is no friction to deal with, broadly speaking.
With sharing media, look at this link for one method.

Windows 7 user account network and administration problem

Hello
I hope I am in the correct place and that my problem can be looked at, if not could I ask the moderator to move this post to the correct forum.
I have a very unusual problem that I hope can be resolved here.
I have 3 x Win 7 machines ( 2 x Pro and 1 x Ultimate ) all on my network but recently I tried to SFTP/SSH using winscp into one of them ( Pro ) only to find that access was denied – it took ages to find out why
– I finally noticed that the user name I created ( that has admin rights ) was not actually in the c:\Users\ folder what has happened is that all the files that should be in my created windows account are sitting in a folder called “user”which
is insidec:\Users\
I then created a folder that has the same user login nameI originally created, inside
c:\Users\
and copied all the files from the “user” folder and then tried to STFP/SSH into the original created user name but that did not work
I then tried this link
User Account - Hide using method 2 point 12, i.e adding (1) to the SpecialAccounts key, but that has not unhide my user account.
Using this cmd below
net user > Desktop\Users.txt
lists the users but I would expect to see i.e
Administrator ( followed by ) …. (created username)
What I am seeing however is below
Guest ( followed by ) …. (user)
When I use the command
lusrmgr.msc I see below :-
Name = user
Full name = my created windows login
Description = blank
I hope I can get some help here – I have cloned my disc in case of any mishaps but all I want to do is get my created win 7 user account working as it should, incidentally the login welcome screen appears on the
created account.

Hello
MeipoXu
I think that I have managed to get into a better position since your last email above, but not quite where I need to be.
I have posted 3 jpg's
jpg key 501 = c:\Users\D&S
jpg key1000 = c:\Users\User
jpg winscp = my SFTP attempt to my problem machine
key 1000 = c:\Users\User .. everything I try to do will not get rid of this key.
However c:\Users\D&S finally appeared, and I was able to SFTP login using winscp only to find the root reports as c:\Users\user.
What I should see is c:\Users\D&S but I can only access c:\Users\User and not c:\Users\D&S
( Does that all make sense ? )
The other thing I noticed was that key 501
is normally reserved for the guest account c:\users\guest
But it has taken over c:\Users\D&S ... if you can get me past this then I will be extremely grateful
I need to see the root reported back as c:\Users\D&S not c:\Users\User
Turning to your post above and may I thank you for your help in trying to resolve this but before I proceed I need to be very clear about what you are suggesting I do.

Enable the built-in administrator account and login with it .To enable the built-in account:
net user administrator /active:yes
Q) Do I login with new the Admin account first then net user administrator /active:yes ?
Your Quote
Cut the whole folder and paste it to the Users folder , then navigate to the registry keys"ProfileImagePath" and change it to "c:\Users\account name".
Q) Cut and past which folder ? is it the folder c:\Users\D&S ? and where am I pasting it as "D&S" already exists in c:\Users\D&S .. I already created it and copied all the contents from "user" to "D&S"
Your Quote
Restart the machine and login with that account and then have a check.
Q) That bit must mean login with D&S
Your Quote
If the issue has gone ,please run "net user administrator /active:no" to disable the built-in account.Again
A) Got that bit :-)
Apologies for the above but I have found to my cost that if you assume what something means it can turn out to be mis understood and I could end up creating more trouble for myself
I will submit the winscp jpg separately as you can only submit 2 jpg's per message
Thank you

Changed user account name and moved to OSX Yosemite. Apps still work, but cannot download new apps or updates.

I recently moved to a new MacBook Air with a physically larger hard drive. I had a coworker move over all of my software and data, and everything seems to be playing nicely. All of the current apps I have in place like Photoshop and Illustrator are working just fine.
Unfortunately when I try to download other apps in Creative Cloud it just shows Download Error. I tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, which did nothing.
I should note that when I moved to the larger machine I changed user account names. Whenever I try to use FileSync, it says it is looking for a folder in the old user account folder. This occurs even after trying to change where that folder is in the Preferences.
Additionally I have updated from Mavericks to Yosemite. I do not know what effect that had.
Any insight how to restore my ability to get downloads and updates? Or perhaps how to fix my FileSync?

I think I have it resolved by uninstalling everything and running the cleaner per these instructions: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Mistake, I removed user account safe and takes forever
