New user getting ready to set up wireless

Hey all, PC user that has been in love with the ipod for years and is finally ready to move onto OSX. I'm about two seconds away from buying my black Macbook. My question is about wireless networking with my PC based home. We currently have no wireless network. If I purchase an AirPort, will I be able to connect the PCs if they have wireless cards? Any help would be great!
Dell (soon to be Macbook) Windows XP Pro

Hi Mray183:
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The Aiport Express uses 802.11B/G-So any wireless network card using this will be able to connect to the AE.
I hope this helps!

What is the password for the new user account that is set up via Migration Assistant?

I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro, and used Migration Assistant to download My Documents from a previous PC desktop. The migration was successful, but afterwards the new user account that was set up to house all the new documents became inaccessible to me.
My administrator's password works for my computer and I am able to log in and out, change settings, etc.
However, if I try to log in to the new user account, no password works. Through the administrator's account I have also attempted to change the password, and I am allowed to do so, but when I use the new password I set up, it still denies me access.
Additionally, if I log out the administrator's account and click the new account to log in, it prompts me to make a new password for the account, and whatever I enter is also rejected as "incorrect." (The screen shakes)
I am very frustrated my inability to access this information I must use to work, and I have no idea what the password might be, or how to change it properly.
PLEASE HELP COMMUNITY! I have only had my mac for about a week and I have had it up to hear with this "user friendly" system.

You can change the password from Visual administrator. login to visual administrator, and select services,, under that you will find the system details. change the password.
even if the visual administrator password is expired then u can go thorugh configtoo.bat and there u can change the password.
if that even not possible then u need to login to sql and can execute the commands for changing password.

Creating new user get message "Name is used by an other user"

10.9.2.
Trying to create a new user getting the message "Name is used by an other user" under the short name.
How can I remove the remnants of this user that I suppose has been transferred when I migrated the users from an old mac to this one? Becuase it might have been there in the past, but has been deleted. Needless to say there is presently only one user in the 'Users & Groups' control panel. And this one is not using this name.
I tried in Terminal
sudo rm -rf /Users/ShortName\\ deleted
(ShortName to be replaced by the name of the account it refuses to create). This does not make a change.

I found the solution here:

EAP-TLS and getting a new user to log in on a wireless network

I have setup EAP-TLS using AP1232 + ACS + CA + Active Directory + some wireless client machines. Works fine.
My issue is when I have a new user, who has never logged onto the client workstation. I know that if I attach the workstation to a wired network and have the user login, request a cert, issue it, and install it, the wireless will work once I have the wired connection disabled and wireless enabled. However, that kinda defeats the purpose of a WLAN.
How can I get my new users in? After all, getting associated to the AP depends on the user cert, which depends on the ability to get to the network in the first place to request/install a cert.
After further reading and research, I believe that my delima will be fixed by configuring EAP-TLS Machine Authentication. What I'd like to know is whether the CA in this scenario MUST be an Enterprise Root CA or can it be a Standalone CA?

check the below link and read server requirements.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814394
The stanalone ca needs to be trusted by AD
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.win2000.security/browse_thread/thread/1cf098c0dfa97ca0/b964dd05c12fd3fb?lnk=st&q=eap-tls+certificates+standalone+root&rnum=2&hl=en#b964dd05c12fd3fb
What windows are you using? The default behaviour of windows is it do user authentication.You would need to play with registry to make systems to do only machine authentication.
You would need connectivity when you want install the ca certificate, or else allow open authentication on the access point to have the connectivity and once the certificates are installed disable it.

How to change the theme in the default profile so new users get a different theme

How can I change the theme (background picture, etc) for the default profile, so that when new users log in and get a new profile created, they get a different theme than the one they currently receive?

Hi,
If you want to get a different theme for new users, based on my understanding, it’s not easy, we can load the specific theme for all user because we can control OS to load this specific theme file.
The default location of theme file is:
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
To configure OS load different theme for different user, I think this cannot be controlled by a registry key. It’s complicated to make OS choose different theme pack for different user, even more, the theme pack files are limited.
Here is some different but similar discussion about changing theme programmatically:
How do I change the current Windows theme programatically?

I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died. We don't know the password. How can we get in to set up wireless printing??

I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died. I am trying to set up wireless printing for a new HP printer and it asks for the Administrators password. Is there any way to break through this and create a new password?

Is the Macbook running? If yes, go to Apple Menu About This Mac to find out the version of Mac OS X you are running.
If the computer is not working, do you know the model, or the version of the operating system on the MB?
You can track down some information with the serial number. Here's how to find the serial number:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1366
With the serial number you can identify the model on this site:

When we know the model it will be much easier to answer your questions.

When does new user get new minutes from ATT

I bought the iPhone a few weeks ago... on Feb 8. It is March 1st today. Shouldn't I be getting a fresh set of 450 minuets? I checked my minutes (clicked the "show my minutes" button in Settings-->Phone--> ATT Services) and it shows 332... which is about right (I don't use it that much obviously.)
When do I get my new minutes? Not the first of the month?
Thanks,
Al1776

If you don't yet have an online account with AT&T you can set one up very easily on their website in a couple minutes. Just put in your mobile number and it will prompt you to complete some information and then your good to go. Since you signed up on the 8th your billing cycle will fall some where around that date each month. Your first month will be pro-rated for partial service you receive, as well as the activation fee, and the entire bill for the next full month.
I signed up on the 5th of a month and my cycle is on the 5th of each month. From AT&T you can also pay your bill online, the only thing you can't do is manage your account features for the iphone plan. You have to have AT&T do that for you, they tell me you can do from itunes but I have not looked very hard to see how to do it.

Even new users getting default profile

I have an Windows server 2012 box configured with RDP services. I had been deleted a few old profiles (more than 90 days without logging in) to conserves space because my monitoring tool alerted me that there was 3GB left on the server. Upon deleting the
profiles I also deleted all of the registry keys associated with the profiles and rebooted the server. Now user log in including new users that had accounts created within the last 15 minutes are also getting default profiles. I have checked the Cals and we
are over our limit which we are working to remedy (we have the PO into management at this time should be approved any day now). Is there something else or somewhere else I should also be looking to resolve this issue. Thank you for any input. Please also take
note that I did delete all registry keys along with user folders for some of the people having issues.

Hi,
1. Under ProfileList key you still have the four registry values (Default, ProfilesDirectory, ProgramData, Public)?
2. NTFS Permissions on C:\Users match the following:
SYSTEM     Full control     This folder, subfolders and files
Administrators     Full control     This folder, subfolders and files
Users     Read and execute     This folder, subfolders and files
Everyone     Read and execute     This folder, subfolders and files
3. Please post the exact error messages that are logged when a problem user logs on.
Thanks.

LMS 3.2.1 - New user gets white page after login

Hy Pros.
Recently I've added a new local user to the LMS, but everytime he logs in, he gets a white page in his browser.
I've tried the workarounds for bug CSCte29226, but they didn't fix it.
Do you have any hints?
regards
Marc

Existing user still get their Portal shown, but not new users.
The LMS is connected to an ACS, but not in ACS Mode. We're only authenticating the users at the ACS. Authorization is still local.
But this seems to be working, becasue if the new user is mistyping the password, the login page reappears telling that the authentication failed.
Following your link I get this:
Bug CSCtb17186 does not exist
Thanks.
cheers

Why do users get "unable to set template properties" message?

Hi there,
I am trying to administer a new site that was created with DW and has a .dwt (Templates/ locatedat the site root). I'm creating "Publisher" role connection keys so users can edit their subsections of the site. Users should be able to modify template properties when they edit/create new pages.
While testing the keys, the users report that they can connect and edit pages. However, when they try to modify template properties on either a new or existing page, they get this message "Unable to set template properties" and are prevented.
I've tried redefining the site and starting all over, tried CS3 vs. CS4 to see if it was a compatibility issue, looked at forum after forum but can't find any answers. I am experienced with DW but new to Contribute administration so I don't know what else to try. Hoping that someone will have encountered this before and can suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance!
ps- Let me know if there's other info I can provide to help troubleshoot.

I did find this April 9, 2009 post from majtom2grndctrl that suggests the issue is how contribute treats https:// sites. My site is set up as majtom2grndctrl described and I am having the same problem.
"I've got a problem with not being able to edit Template Properties on our test sites we host on HTTPS servers. I've narrowed down the problem to Contribute CS4 ignoring the website root configuration when it looks for the Templates folder. For example, say you have a site hosted at the following address:
https://www.yourdomain.com/yourfolder/
Contribute is configured to know your site is in /yourfolder/, but for whatever reason, when you open or create a page, and Contribute reads the InstanceBegin template="/Templates/file.dwt" tag at the beginning of HTML documents, it looks for a Templates folder at the HTTP server root, not in /yourfolder/. This prevents Contribute from loading the template while editing a document, and any attempt to edit Template Properties will yield the infamous "Unable to set template properties" dialog box."

Can't log in with new user and password i set up on new eprinter from HP

I am unable to get into the ecenter on eprinter. Even when I try to rest password it does not recognize the email address. When I try to create a new one, it says it already exists. I m using my personal email account. Please help.

Hello rgabriel24,
If you are having issues logging into your ePrintCenter account try logging in using the Snapfish icon on the "Sign In" page. It is the small blue icon with a black fish on it located on the far right of the icons below the login and password fields.
If you are still unable to login with this icon use the "Forgot Password" link with the Snapfish icon and try to have your password reset. If this works, you should receive an email with a temporary password you can use to login to ePrintCenter.
Let me know if this works for you or if you need additional assistance.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

Moved; New cable provider, unable to set up wireless network

Hi all - this has me completely baffled. Comcast set up our cable modem today in our new house, but the technician was unable to establish a connection through my airport extreme.
I am able to establish an internet connection via ethernet cable directly to my mini mac. However, when I connect the same ethernet cable to the airport extreme WAN, then another from the ae to my mini mac, no connection. Green light but no access to the internet.
I have tried:
- two different ethernet cables (one brand new)
- hard reset of airport extreme
- turning off (alternately), mini mac, cable modem, airport, then restarting
- manually setting ISP, subnet and router info
- using airport admin utility to set airport extreme back to default then trying again
- even tried connecting ethernet cable to my macbook, still no connection
Is it something obvious that I'm missing? Help!

Welcome to the discussions!
Try resetting the modem again. Look for a reset button on the modem and press it for a second if you see one. Then immediately pull the power on the modem. If it appears that there is a battery that is easily accessible, pull the battery as well from the modem.
Let the modem rest for 20-25 minutes. Some modems take longer to reset (but the ISP will never admit this) Power off the rest of the network as well.
Connect an ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port on the AirPort Extreme.
Start the modem first and let it run for 3-4 minutes by itself. Then start the AirPort Extreme and let it run a few minutes, then start your computers.
See if that helps. If still no luck, you may need to take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple store to have it checked out for proper operation.

Can I change the role a new user gets in the B2C senario

Hi.
I am in the Business Blue Print phase of a Web Shop project based on the CRM 4.0 E-commerce.
As I understand it, a user registering at the shop is created as a business partner with the role "Consumer".
We are already using the consumer role for a different purpose, so I would like the web shop users to be created with a custom role (e.g. ZConsumer) - will this be possible in any way?
Thanks,
Anders

Hi Anders and Rami,
I'm not sure about what you asked.
1 Anyway if you refer to role present in the tab classification/hour:
Customer
Prospect
Competitor
Consumer,
you cannot change these roles, as they are defined by SAP.
Believe me because it was me explained during the Isa course, before getting certification.
But on the other hand if you refer to the roles you can assigned to your BP, you control this in customizing.
Please as usual, reward with points if it helps.

Mail treats me as new user -- leads me through set up...

... and the set-up doesn't work, by the way.
Frustrating -- problem came out of the blue on my wife's iMac. She has tons of mailboxes, which are still on the hard drive, but can't even get into the program. Any idwes?

but can't even get into the program.
That would mean you can't even launch the program, but you're saying you can't setup an account; those are very different things that can't both be true at the same time.
So what's the real problem here? Did her email suddenly go missing; did Mail crash and take her mail with it; did it appear to wipe out her mail account(s); etc.? How much free space is left on her hard drive, and how many messages does she have in her accounts? More details.

New user, getting started??

All my music (~20GB) is in mp3 format, located in a music folder and arranged by artist. What is the best way to pull all of the songs into itunes?

OK, now I have my songs in iTunes but they won't play! Get the error code: "The song could not be played because the original file could not be found" Do you want to find it?"
OK, so I drill down and reload the individual song file. Yep that works. Now I have only 56 days worth of individual songs to re-load.
Is there a better way for iTunes to recognize mp3 from windows?
