My user split into two

so i had a user named 'g4'. i wanted to rename it, so i right click on the user folder and did a rename to 'matt'.
then i restarted, and it logged me on to a blank user named g4. there is no trace of my 'matt' account, except in the users folder there is my 'matt' folder with all the stuff in it (desktop, documents, library, etc), but OSX will not recognize it as a user so i can log in, and delete the blank g4 account.
basically, i have a user folder in the users folder, but it is acting just a regular folder and OSX will not recognize it as a user.
help!

macmomma,

  • One user split into two?

    A week ago, everything from my PowerBook seemingly vanished. But today, when I ran DiskWarrior, I discovered that everything from my user account was still preserved in the Users folder, but now I have two users in my Users folder. Just before it happened I tried to change the original name, so I figured it must be the reason why. How do I restore it so the PowerBook boots from that User folder, so everything will be back to normal?

    Open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, click the padlock, and type in your password. From here, locate your account in the list of users and change the home property to match the name you gave your home folder. Save changes, log out, and log back in.
    If you want to change your account's short name as well as the home folder name, change the name property, and then go to the groups section and change every instance of the old name to the new one as well. This is particularly important for the admin group, as it is possible to have no administrator accounts on the system if the NetInfo database isn't completely changed. You will also need to turn automatic login off prior to changing the short name, and back on afterwards, which can be done from the Accounts pane of System Preferences. The last step can be skipped if you are only changing the home folder name.

  • Why is the hard disk split into two data partitions (C:Vista and E:Data)?

    I've just switched on a new A200-1V0 and found that the disk space is split into two equal sized partitions "C:Vista" and "E:Data" (and a small EISA one).
    WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended solely for "system" stuff as the the "Users" (User Documents) root is on it too.
    Is this the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said Toshiba could do this without asking me?
    How do I move the "Users" root in Vista (to the Data partition) - if I've got two partitions I might as well use it?
    Can I resize partitions in Vista without a 3rd-party utility (or a complete backup/restore)?
    Thanks

    Hello Just YOU
    Please do not be upset because there is no reason for that. You have bought new product with factory settings. Toshiba and any other hardware manufacturer do not know each customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to configure YOUR notebook.
    Because of that there is Product Recovery media that allows you to configure HDD according to your wishes and needs.
    Please use this DVD and install OS how you want to have it. When recovery procedure starts you will see SETUP option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.
    Install OS again and enjoy your life. I really do not have time to write about vantages of two partitions because it is basic stuff and you probably do not want to loose your time reading this.
    Bye and good luck!

  • In the itunes library, a single album appears to be split into two separate parts, how do i combine them?

    my itunes library has several albums that are split into two parts. one contains half of the album's songs and the other the other half. how do i combine these so the album only appears once in it's entirety?

    Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things.

  • The Same Album is Split Into Two On My iPod

    Okay this may be hard to explain but here it goes...
    I bought a CD, and imported it onto my iTunes library. No big deal. It imported fine. Then I tried importing it onto my 4th Generation iPod Touch (32GB). The album has 10 tracks, and it was split into two on my iPod. One album has all tracks 1-10, while the other has tracks 2-10. But when I search up the song on my iPod (on the songs list), it only comes up as one. I tried deleted the album that has tracks 2-10, but when I do, the tracks 2-10 on the other album get deleted, so I'm only left with Track 1.
    This is starting to get really confusing for me and I don't know what to do. In my iTunes library it comes up as one album, on iTunes when I look at my songs list it comes up as one album, and even on my actual iPod on the songs list, there's only 1 version of each song, but on the albums list, there's 2 versions of the same album.
    Please help! Thanks so much !!

    In iTunes on your computer right click on the songs and select Get Info and look at the sorting. From iTunes Help
    Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
    You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
    Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
    Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
    Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
    Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
    Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
    Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
    Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
    Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
    Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.

  • Macbook pro Freezes, Screen splits into two half, scrambled..

    Hi,
    Just bought a new Macbook Pro 15.4, 2 Ghz i7 processor, AMD Raedon HD 6490M 256 Mb Video, 4 Gb Memory...
    After Three days, whenever I try to play a video, in quicktime or vlc or just load a video song on virtual dj,
    the screen just freezes and splits into two. The Force quit doesnt work.
    The only thing that works is "Hold the power button for three seconds."
    Please help..
    Thank you

    I have the same issue. This began before I installed Lion OSx. Happens randomly and not connected to any particular application. Here are some screen shots. It happens at least two times a day and is getting very frustrating. Taking it to the genius bar this weekend.
    All I can say is that it began after i applied some major updates (most probably the ones to fix the freeze issues that were cropping up on these new macbooks when they were launched). This is only my observation.

  • ORDERS Idoc splitting into two

    Hi,
       I have requiremnt where i need to Split Orders idoc into messages.
       1. Orders XML file  2.XML file only with control record fields.
    i have seen all the discssion on this and deceiced to implement the scenario as per
      /people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible   blog. But the problem is need to use two message types on the target side.. for splitting the message..
      ORDERS and Contrlo record Fields message type... i can't change the standard idoc.. 
      Can i add the Control record fields to Standard IDOC  in any way....   like exporting file...if so..
    tell me whether the Idoc will split into two messaged or not....
    Regards,
    Deep

    My doubt is in the mentioned blog target msg type was created one.. here i need to take with ORDERS idoc(ED in our case). I need to split the IDOC everytime when it triggers based on RCVPRN field value.. this value is always so there should be 2 values everytime.
    you will need to duplicate the IDOC at the target side to achieve this...if you are successful in doing the 0...unbounded thing for your IDOC....
    1) Duplicating:
    Duplicating is not Multimapping.....Multimapping is what you saw in the blog and duplicating is right-clicking on the node and choosing Duplicate Subtree....no two messages will be created in this process (duplicating).....
    2) Multimapping:
    it is used to create two (or more) different messages at the target end...
    Does it split into two message ( ORDERS XML and Control Record XML)
    No it wont split the IDOC into two messages.....
    So if your requirement is to have only one target message with seperate IDOC nodes..having ORDERS and Control data individually...then go for duplication method...apply the condition for RCVPRN to generate the nodes...
    If your req is to have two different messages at the target then use multimapping apply the condition for RCVPRN to generate the two different messages.....
    Hope it helps...
    Regards,
    Abhishek.

  • 1 album split into two

    Hi
    I have an album in iTunes 10.5.1 which is split into two, there does not appear to be an discernable diferences in the Get Info of the various tracks, so why does iTunes insist on splitting the album?
    Is there any way to tell iTunes that all the tracks are from the same album?
    Cheers.

    Thanks again for the reply,
    I've selected all the tracks then copied and pasted the name of the Artist in the Get Info- Sorting- Sort Artist, this seems to have done the trick. If this fails I'll play around with this option, but this is something that I would rather not do in the future so I appreciate your tip.
    Cheers.

  • Selected "Edit in Audition," audio track was split into two files. Preference change?[image included]

    I have no idea what kind of shortcut key or preference I changed.
    When I select any video on any premiere timeline to "edit in audition" i end up with the audio getting split into two wav files instead of one, as the red rectangular shows.  Instead of the single audio track to edit in which you can see in the blue rectangular.
    ***The blue rectangular I got when I dropped a video directly into audition.
    Update: did some testing around in premiere, this issue only happens with clips that are on a timeline, but if I "edit in audition" from "project" (main folder with all material), I can edit it properly.

    Its one file with two different dispalys.
    You can pull the bottom one down by dragging it down or hit the very little triangle on the right side.

  • Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides

    Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides?

    To elaborate a little more Nick, that is a feature designed to make it easier to type when holding the iPad with both hands.
    If you tap the icon in the lower right of the keyboard, you will see the option to Merge the keyboard back together. If you hold the icon and drag your finger up and down, you will move the keyboard.
    Hope that helps!

  • Connect_by Parent split into two- causing issues

    OK, I resorted to ORDER SIBLINGS BY this time ( gotta love 'trial and error' ;) )
    This will change the ordered output of your resultset a bit, but that way splitting uo the hierarchies correctly as desired seems like the simplest way.(I'm assuming a way to split up the hierarchies is of more importance here than the actual values for FK.)
    Using this data ( perhaps you made a typo for records 14/15?):
    SQL> select * from er;
    ER_ID AA    BB     FK
        1 U286          1
        2 U287  U286    1
