Mountain Lion has created new user log-ins and moved old Users to a separate folder

Mountain Lion has created new user log-ins and moved old Users to a separate folder.
The new users are set-up as "standard" and the old ones were "Administrators"
All files are missing, i.e. no desktop files etc. But they are located in a folder called "Users 1" which is a new folder.
Can anyone help?

Here is perhaps the solution :

follow the "Ratatapa's" instructions.
1/ boot on Recovery part (command R)
2/ find "terminal" in disk utilities
and write "resetpassword" for root. Enter a new password for the root user.
3/ reboot as root user (or when your are login, log out and typing to open a other user "root")
in the "system pref" panel, open "users and groups" and then create new user with the same name, same password.. normally it must be asking you about "You are already an account with the same name" say yes. And it's done.
4/ Log out. re-log as the normal user. desactivated the root user.

  • HT2518 I've migrated from PC to IMAC, but it has created new users. I can't access these user accounts even though I've set up passwords for them as administrator. Can you assist?

    I have transferred files from PC to IMac using Migration assistant. This has automatically set-up new users on the IMac and I can't access these. As administrator, I have set-up passwords for these new users, but when i try to acces these new users usung those passwords, the screen shakes as if the passwords are incorrect. Any suggestions?

    I can see these in my user groups, and I can change the passwords on both as often as I like. But when I then try to logon, the screen just shakes and nothing happens.
    I don't do Windoze, so haven't been able to test migrating from a PC.
    There have been a few similar posts here.   Are you trying to log on to the new user account(s) via Fast User Switching?  If so, apparently that doesn't work.   You need to turn that off (via System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options. Remove the check from the Show fast user switching .... box.
    Then log out of all accounts, restart, select the new account from the login screen and you should be prompted to set the password.
    I'm not sure a screenshot will help (and to be honest I'm not sure how to do screenshots on the IMac - I've been a PC man for over a decade!).
    In most places, Shift+Cmd+3 will print the entire screen; Shift+Cmd+4 will produce a "target" you can drag over a portion of the screen.
    EDIT:  by "most places" I mean after you're logged-on, and OSX knows your preferences about how & where to put the screenshot.  So it won't work on the login screen itself.

  • How do I download Mountain Lion to create a bootable installer USB for an old macbook

    I am trying to reformat an old macbook, and it says it is unable to unmount the drive when I attempt to erase the disc. I've been told I need to create a bootable installer and try using disc utility from the installer to erase it, but can't find out how to download any OS X installer other than Yosemite (which isn't suitable as the macbook is too old).

    If it is too old to run Yosemite, Mountain Lion won't run either. The hardware requirements are the same for both versions of the OS. You might be able to use Lion, but from my experience with Lion, I'd stay with Snow Leopard.

  • 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

  • Best way to clean install mountain lion on a new ssd

    Am in the process of upgrading my late 2008 MacBook Pro (15").  Have had 8 GB RAM installed for over a year now, as well as Lion, and it's doing fine but want to upgrade it some more to get another couple years out of it.  Have ordered a 120 GB SSD and will be installing it in place of the optical drive to speed up boot and programs access.  Also would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion IF it'll upgrade performance and add worthwhile features.  Assuming that's the case, is it best to do a clean install of Mountain Lion on the new SSD or just clone the existing hard drive?  What's the best technique for doing a clean install and for cloning? 

    Go to the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Mountain Lion. It's over 4 GBs so it will take some time to download.
    When it finishes the installer will launch automatically and present you with a window for installing. I suggest you quit the installer at this point. Follow these instructions:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
          side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.    
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Use Lion DiskMaker 2.0 to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    You can then install your SSD. Boot the computer from the Mountain Lion USB flash drive to install onto the SSD after you partition and format the SSD:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from Mountain Lion USB flash drive installer. When the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button.
    Boot Using OPTION key:
      a. Restart the computer.
      b. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "OPTION" key.
      c. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      d. Select the USB Flash Drive Installer.
      e. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. When formatting is complete quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Install/Reinstall Mountain Lion and click on the Continue/Install button.

    Cindy,
    Thanks for the solution. It worked fine after changing servername to lowercase.
    The servername was set in in httpd.conf by the 9iAS installer itself. I would like to express that Oracle should have checked before launching or should have listed it in the release notes.
    Once again thanks for the inputs, Cindy.

  • Mountain Lion has wiped iLife

    As title says Mountainlion has wiped ILife original disks no longer installl on new Os have even borrowed my cousins isks to rule out any problem with the disk itself. I have contacted app support because i feel it's an app issue and so should be resolved by them I was given links to suppoer coverage which my Imac 2008 no longer has, nor requires. iLife was part of what we paid for , someone suggested I would have to repurchase the products from the App store.
    As it was a preinstalled bundled software and included on Diska alone with the OS , I should not have to do this, Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi Prasanna
    I am getting this error while installing the Java Add-on. The installation was in the last stage and there it got struck when it tried to reboot the java engine. I am using SAPJSF user to communicate with ABAP stack and it has the full authorizations. I even checked and see that SAPJSF user is not locked. I also tried with another user and still the same issue. As per the log it the java engine is able to login with the user, but it is trying to create a user and fialing there. I am not sure why it is creating this user.

  • 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)

  • How do I re-install Mountain Lion on a new hard drive (replacement)?

    I have an older iMac 24" (2007) that has been up-graded to Mountain lion.  I want to replace my hard drive with a bigger one (has 500Gb).  How can I re-install Mountain Lion on my new drive?  I have Time Machine on this machine.

    Install 10.6 and 10.8 onto the new drive exactly how you did it on the old drive, except that you won't need to pay to redownload 10.8. Alternatively, if you kept a copy of the 10.8 installer, you can just rerun it.

  • I am trying to re-install mountain lion on a new hard drive on a mac pro but get a backward slash with a circle

    I am trying to reinstall mountain lion in a mac pro with a new ssd drive but will not let me. It gives me a back slash with a circle. I have 2 optical drives, first is a blu-ray and the second is a super drive. could that be the cause?

    Firstly, you need to partition and format the SSD. You need to be able to boot the computer from another drive that has a bootable OS X system installed or a Snow Leopard DVD installer that works on the computer.
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
