Multiple administrators, only one can write to disk
I recently got an used MacBook Pro which came with an admin account. I tried to import my settings from an external disk (using Time Machine) but 10.8 couldn’t read the disk. I tried creating another admin account, and import my settings from it, unsuccessfully. Finally I downloaded 10.9 and during install I told it to import the account from the external disk, which it did.
I now have 3 admin accounts:
The one with which I can write to the hard disk, the original.
The second one which is useless.
The one with which I can sync my iphone and create a security copy. Whenever I try to write to the HD it asks me for authentication and it won’t let the programs (e.g. iWork) create files. I can only save in the “shared” folder.
I wish to maintain the third account, mostly because I really need to be able to save the contents of my external memory unit (AKA iPhone) and delete the other accounts, but the minus sign in Settings/User accounts is grayed out and I can only highlight the account that I logged in with. Also, it concerns me not being able to write to HD; I mean, I could just save to the shared folder but it just doesn’t feel right.
Thanks you very much in advance!
The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Help on locking MySQL tables (many can read, but only one can write) Java
Hi there,
I have a question regarding locking of tables so that only one person can write to the file, but many are able to read the files (or tables entities).
I am not sure if I need to lock the tables in my Java code or do I lock the tables within the MySQL syntax. I'm just a little confused on the matter.
This java code is a working prototype of inserting a customer data into the database and that works fine. I just don't know how to implement it so that only one person can update the table at a time.
Here is the Customer.java code that I have written.
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much.

UNLOCK TABLES;to the best of my knowledge, this is something related to the database and not the programming. If you'd want to be the only user to read and edit the table, speicify only one user with that privilege and make it password protected. User must enter the password to write to the tables.

Why we have only one log writer in oracle
Why we have only one log writer in oracle while we have more than one DB writer and archiver in oracle.

High DML allows multiple log writer processes as well by spawning multiple log writer processes.
No - there is only one log writer process per instance.
Don't confuse the function of I/O slaves with the function of the log writer.

Listview checkbox group item only one can be checked
I have a listview with checkbox , and grouped some checkbox, I need only can be checked for two checkboxes, but I use
private void Listview_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e)
this.Listview.Items[0].Checked = !this.Paramlst2.Items[1].Checked;
this.Listview.Items[1].Checked = !this.Paramlst2.Items[0].Checked;
but it is not worked.
can anybody suggest me how to modify the code to realize item0 and item1 only one can be checked.
thanksHi Sunny,
According to your title, do you mean you only one checkbox is required to check?
And the code, it seems not clear to me. What is Paramlst2 stand for？Which control did you use ?
Could you help provide more information? It would be better to help us to understand your issue.
Have a nice day!

Two Macs - only one can connect to Airport at a time
Starting today, after 10 days of successful operation, when I came home I couldn't connect to my home (new "square" Airport Extreme) network with my Core 2 MacBook Pro. My wife was happily connected on her PowerBook G4.
Puzzled, I tried a few obvious things:
Airport OFF, Airport ON ... no joy
Logout and back in ... no joy
Restart ... no joy
Then I turned my attention to the Base Station:
Restart ... nope
Change to "None" security ... nope
Change back to "WPA Personal" ... nope
Humbled, I stopped and had dinner. My wife's G4 went to sleep, my Intel went to sleep. Now it gets interersting! My Intel woke up first and immediately joined the network -- I'm happy till I hear my wife say SHE can't get connected.
To make a long story short, I have two laptops on my desk, and only one can connect at a time! This is BIZARRE. Turn off Airport on either one and its buddy gets a connection immediately, and vice versa. Sleep the connected one and the other connects.
I am out of ideas.
Errors on the G4:
Feb 28 20:09:45 localhost configd[35]: WirelessConfigure: 88001003
Errors on the MBPro:
various 88001006 errors as reported by others in this forum.
Both Machines at all the latest updates; the MBPro has the new Extreme software installed from the CD that came with the new hardware.
I would welcome suggestions ...
MacBook Pro Core 2 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G4 Cube Mac OS X (10.4)Software Update is not offering me any Airport updates on the G4 (or the Intel).
The recent Airport Update, "AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001", is of course only for Intel Macs.
They could only be "trying to use the same IP address" if they were not configured to use DHCP, but they are configured to use DHCP, and whichever connects does get an address in the 10.0.1.[2-200] range so I think that's not the problem. -
I can't get Firefox to start up. I've downloaded a new copy several times and keep getting the error message, "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time". I do not have Firefox running anywhere.
See [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]], the image shown in that article is the Windows equivalent of the error message that you are receiving, but the information relates to the Mac.

Two user profiles on my iMac but only one can connect to the internet
Hi,
I got the most recent upgrade for Lion and installed it. I have two user profiles on my iMac and now, only one of them can connect to the internet yet both appear to have gotten the full upgrades. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks!!Does the Account that can not connect to the Internet have full Administative priveleges or is it a Standard Account. If Standard, check to make sure it is allowed to connect.

Difficulty with SF2 files containing multiple sounds; only one sound will play
Here's my difficulty. I know exactly how to install SF2 soundfonts on my computer, I have used them in several compositions, but there's one limitation I havent been able to overcome.
Some soundfonts, as you probably know, contain multiple sounds. My problem is that when I have a multi-sound SF2 selected, I can only get GarageBand to play one sound -- presumably the first one in the pack. There are no options in the DLS Music Player window for selecting other sounds within the soundfont; only the soundfont itself is listed. I have a couple of soundfont packs where the different sounds are all split into individual SF2s within a folder, and that displays as a submenu properly... but I can't get these others to work properly. Any ideas?I don't think you can get it to work with the current version of GB. There used to be a plugin called SoundFontSynth that handled soundfonts with sound banks, but it has been discontinued and the auther never replied to emails.

User with Read-Only permission can write
Hi,
I have two Macs on a local network. I am sharing a folder on Mac-A and would like users to have read-only access to it. It is important that users cannot modify the data in this folder.
On Mac-A:
Selecting System Preferences->Sharing->File Sharing, I added the folder to "Shared Folders". Next, I added the user account "bob" and assigned Read-Only access. User bob is not an admin and shows up as a "Sharing Only" account under Accounts.
On Mac-B:
I connect to Mac-A as user bob and I can see the shared folder. I then am able to create and delete files in the "Read-Only" share. I've verified using File->Get Info that user bob does indeed have only read access.
What am I doing wrong and what can I do to enforce read-only access?
Thanks!Maybe your Mac-B user account has the same (short) user name
as your Mac-A user account. Matching user names or short user names
could make the Mac-B account able to Read & Write to your shared folder.
Because I think you can log in with short user names to a server
as well. I guess passwords should be matching as well,
and perhaps the user ID's (System Preferences -> Accounts
-> right-click on user) also?
Cheers,
Vincent Verheyen. -
2 Airport Expresses, only one can connect
Have 2 airport expresses....if I turn off password protection on the router, I can connect them both with zero issues through the airport utility. As soon as I change back to password protection, I can only get one to be "seen" by the airport utility after factory resetting. Any suggestions? The router is a 2wire from Uverse.
Mmmm, when you go to set up the second one, you could connect it by ethernet to your computer to make sure it is seen.

Multiple tables, only one focused!
No, that's not what's happening; it's what I want to happen. ;-)
I have a JFrame with a few JPanel-extensions on it. these extensions just add a JTable in a JScrollpane, and a JLabel header, to the panel (just in the constructor), so there is not unusual behaviour in the functioning of these components [JPanel extensions].
However, I want the user to be able to click on the tables one at a time ONLY: currently the user can go to each table on the main JFrame window and select it, while a row in another table is still currently selected; thus, each table on the JFrame can have a row selected, all at the same time!
How can I change this to the behaviour that I want?
Regards,
luthaThis isn't focus. The indicator for focus is on the individual cell which has focus. By default it's either a blue or black border depending on whether the cell is currently being edited. I think what you are talking about is selection. This is shown by change the background of the selected cells. Here's how I got rid of that.import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test3 extends JFrame implements FocusListener {
Color selectedBackground;
public Test3() {

{"R2-C1","R2-C2","R2-C3"},
{"R3-C1","R3-C2","R3-C3"}};
JTable jt1 = new JTable(data, head), jt2 = new JTable(data,head);
selectedBackground = jt1.getSelectionBackground();
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Container content = getContentPane();
content.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));

Using 3 email, I want only one can create a mail
J'utilise 3 comptes email et quelques j'envoie un mail avec un mauvaise adresse expéditeur.
Je souhaiterais interdire l'envoi de mail sur certains comptes et ne les utiliser qu'en réception.
Merci de vos réponses ou de prévoir d'implémenter cette fonctionnalité dans une prochaine mise à jour.
Great software ! Thanks !'''English:'''
If you are viewing emails in account 'A' and click on 'Write' then the FROM will use the email address of account 'A'.
If you are viewing emails in account 'B' and click on 'Write' then the FROM will use the email address of account 'B'.
However, in both cases it will send via the one SMTP server, if that SMTP setting has been changed as described..
In any new Write email you can select a different 'FROM email address from the drop down selection before sending.
The Default mail account (the one listed at the top) will be top of the drop down selection. You can change this in Account Settings. Select the account name and click on 'Account actions', then click on 'set as Default'. click on OK to save changes and close window.

Airport Extreme & MacBook & MacBook Pro: only one can talk to Airport
I've got an Airport Extreme is in bridge mode and hooked via an ethernet cable to an SMC router. The SMC device is a wireless (and four wired ethernet ports) router. It's attached via ethernet cable to a DSL modem. All the settings on the Airport Extreme are for the it to be connected to a router and DCHP. I've also got two Airport Expresses to extend the range of the Airport Extreme. I have a Canon printer attached to the Airport Extreme.
In our home we have a black MacBook (10.5.6), a MacBook Pro (10.4.11), Pismo PowerBook (10.4.11), an Apple TV, an iPhone and wireless security web cam.
The problem is that either the MacBook or the MacBook Pro can go through the Airport Extreme to the internet. If the MacBook can go through the Airport Extreme, then the MacBook Pro cannot. If the MacBook Pro can go through the Airport Extreme, then the MacBook cannot.
All computers can get to the Internet via the SMC router wirelessly at the same time.
The Pismo, Apple TV, iPhone and web cam have no problem going through the Airport Extreme to the internet regardless of what's going on between the two MacBooks
No matter what, wireless printing works for all computers.
The MacBook is a "clone" of the MacBook Pro. Internet sharing is on for both MacBooks. Both have unique AirPort ID numbers.
After powering down the DSL modem, SMC router and Airport Extreme and then restarting everything (MacBooks, Airport Extreme, DSL modem) the first MacBook that I use to connect to the Internet always work and the other one never works.
I would like both MacBooks to be able to access the internet via the Airport Extreme.
What is the problem and what is the solution? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Note: This is a long (years) and ongoing problem and I've posted (over a year ago) before with no luck.Hi,
"Internet sharing is on for both MacBooks." Why is that? Try to disable Internet sharing on both.
Furthermore I understand that your SMC device is wireless enabled too. Make your configuration more simple by disabling that. Your Airport Extreme can handle that since it is bridged.
See if we can get somewhere. -
Two Users, Only One Can Control Sound
I recently created a new user account for myself to fix a problem with Mail. Now I am unable to control the OS's Sound options (e.g., change volume, mute, etc.) when in the new user: the Sound option panel appears under System Preferences, but the volume slider and mute button are grayed-out.
The only way for me to change the volume is to switch to my old user account, which I don't use for anything else. I guess I could delete the old user account, but I'd like to find a fix for the sound control issue first.
BTW - I made my new user area the Administrator and revoked Administrator privileges for the old user area, and the sound problem persists...Software Update is not offering me any Airport updates on the G4 (or the Intel).
The recent Airport Update, "AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001", is of course only for Intel Macs.
They could only be "trying to use the same IP address" if they were not configured to use DHCP, but they are configured to use DHCP, and whichever connects does get an address in the 10.0.1.[2-200] range so I think that's not the problem. -
2 computers. Only one can enter the discussions forums
Hi!, I have 2 computers (1 desktop and a MacBook). My desktop is dying so I want to use my MacBook for everyday purposes. I can post with my desktop computer (as I'm now), but when I log in from the MacBook, is like when you create a new user, it asks for my desired alias, computer, and so on. The thing is that I'm logged because there's a 'log out of this ID'. But I can't post or do anything. Can anyone help me?.
