New User not creating properly.

Mac mini(mid 2010), running Mavericks 10.9.5. I am trying to create a new user, and have tried several times with out success . Once created I shut down and restart logging on as that user the initial set up screens run Apple ID then set up but when the desktop appears I am left with a non working user interface, No Ikons in the Dock, or sometimes no dock and a flashing screen changing from grey to desktop picture. I have deleted the User in system preferences with a secure erase and tired to recreate. Each time I get the same thing or a variant of it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

Bookmark tree structure using Microsoft word 2007 not creating properly

I have a word document file in MS office 2007. When i am converting the word document to a PDF file using the HEADING option , the bookmarks tree structure in the PDF file is not created properly. Means that the between content of a topic is also read
as a bookmark heading while conversion. Only the heading of a topic should be read as a bookmark and the sub heading as a sub-bookmark but the content should not come in the tree structure of bookmarks in a PDF file..
For Example:- if MICROSOFT is the heading of any xyz.doc then it should be the parent bookmark. . but in my case , MICROSOFT is coming as a bookmark but the content inside this is also created as a bookmark..
So my question is that what is the internal structure of the of the MS word 2007 to convert a doc to a PDF file???
Because it is not creating the bookmarks tree structure properly...and taking the content randomly from the middle of a topic and adding it in the bookmark tree structure...(which should not happen). The font throughout the doc is the same and aligned properly..so
why it is randomly taking the between text as a bookmark...???
what is the root cause of this bug..?? how can this problem be solved..?? is there any sort of change have to be done in my word doc.?
i need an urgent help regarding this...
NOTE:- I am using MS office 2007.

I tried this but didnt work for mr. Can you help? How did you PDFed??
It works for me in Word 2010 (or later) using Save As PDF. It did not work in Word 2007 using the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer nor using Word 2007's save as pdf utility. (The hyperlink showed up but was not active.) It did work using the Acrobat tab in Word
2007 (this requires Adobe Acrobat).
I did this by:
first creating the text box with the hyperlink in the body of the document and moving it into the footer area (but still not in the footer itself).
Then I used the Format tab of Text Box Tools and the Postion button (More Layout Options).
I gave it an absolute vertical position relative to the page.
Then I cut the text box, went into the footer, and pasted it there.
It might have worked to just create the text box in the footer itself.
I personally prefer it that the header and footer are not part of the active page when I am typing. This hyperlink is not clickable in Word without going into the header/footer view and I'm fine with that. The QAT workaround is just fine.

PDF file is not created properly when I choose File- Print...- PDF-- Save as PDF

PDF file is not created properly when I choose File->Print...In dialogue box if i select option Save as PDF under PDF button...But it works fine with Safari Browser..

My first thought is to make sure the fonts used are common. If there is a substitution, things will be off.

Why is a new user account created every time I upload files from my old PC. Can't you just use the same user account all the time?

I'm a new Mac user and am finding my way slowly around it. One question: why is a new user account created every time I upload files from my old PC?

Because you're using the Migration Assistant, and it can't migrate data to an existing user account. Transfer everything at once or use a different method.

When a new user is created on the Server Computer,Why profile for the user is created as computername.username?

When a new user is created on the Server Computer,Why profile for the user is created as computername.username?

This is done if there are domain users with the same name. For example, if there is a domain user named 'test' who has logged in on the server, he will get the profile 'test'. If you then create a local user named 'test', the profile 'test' already exists
and the computer will create the profile 'computername.test'

Can't login using new user account created in SP01 PL01

I have a demo site which I have used for a while and just upgraded to SP01 PL01.
I created a new Business Partner and two users, assigned an email address and pre-assigned a web password before synch.
The accounts seem to be created properly yet I cannot log in using the email address as user and the password I specified
BP synch field is email address, Password alogorithm is Webtools User ID ( but irrelevant in this case as I specified the web password )
Active and Approved settings for the user in webtool make no difference.
I tried generating a forgotten password e-mail and this confirms the initial passwords I set but I still cannot log in as either of these users.
What could be wrong here ? - I clearly have the right credentials and other users created before can still log in correctly

BP was not set to Active. Many thanks.
I don't remember having to the Active flag in WT for BP before - has the functionality on this been changed recently?
The Active flag in WT does not synch to any field in B1 right? so it is a step that HAS to be carried out for new accounts in WT alone?

How to bring in Address book to a New User I created on Mac

I had to create a new userid on my mac and I have an address book on the old userid. How can I bring in the new address book into the new user?
On the old user I exported the address book to the User\shared directory. Then I logged into the new user and tried to import. It doesn't import.
Both accounts are Admin. When I look at the address folder in User\shared, it has the red circle on the bottom of the folder. I can't bring it in. HELP

When I tried to bring in the file, a message says "Reverting will cause your current database to be overwritten".
When I click Replace All, nothing happens, my entries are not imported. I am not sure what to do next.

New Users Not Appearing On Login List - Help!

Hello Mac geniuses,
I run a 10.3.9 network in an elementary school, and I since returning from summer vacation I have had problems with many of my client eMacs not displaying the names of users I have added in WGM. These eMacs are also still displaying the names of accounts I have deleted.
If anyone is kind enough to help a stranger, I have copied below the transcripts of my email exchanges with an Apple tech, in my struggle to get my school functioning again. (I have placed them in the correct order so the 1st email is on top and the last on bottom. The tech's name is John and I am using "Jon" to make it slightly less confusing!).
My very grateful thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Hi John,
After deleting and adding users in WGM, some login screens still show deleted users and do not display the new users.
I tried deleting the MCX cache via NetInfoManager on the clients, and even restarted the server, but it has not affected several machines.
Any advice?
Server: Dual 1Ghz G4 (Mirror Door) running Panther Server 10.3.9
Clients: eMacs running 10.3.9
Thanks in advance.

Go into the client as the admin account.
Delete /Library/Preferences/Directory Service
Restart and setup Directory Access in Utilities
Let me know if that works.

Are you sure the machine is on the network and talking to your

Go into Dir Access and uncheck LDAP and readd the server.

NetInfo Recovery Techniques
Joel Rennich, [email protected]

When working with NetInfo, which we are and hope to have some more articles on in the near future, it is important to know
how to back up to a previous version of your database.
1. First, the most brutal way of recovering from a nonfunctional database.
Boot into single user mode by holding down the "s" key while starting up. Follow the handy instructions Apple gives you at the end of the startup sequence and run fsck. Then mount the system root disk as read/write with:
mount -uw /
Now you can get on with recreating your database in a very brutal way. Remove your current database with:
rm -rf /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb
Now remove the file that prevents the Setup Assistant from running:
m /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
And now reboot to get things rolling.
reboot
This will cause the Setup Assistant to launch, complete with music and bouncing blue blobs. If you remember which account you set up first when you last saw this screen, set up that account now. Otherwise, go with whatever you want for your first
Administrator account. If you match it up with the original Administrator account, all of your permissions should be groovy.
Otherwise, get familiar with chown and chmod and you will be able to set things right.
The above method is rather draconian and isn't for times when you need to replace a complicated NetInfo setup, but should work perfectly well for an essentially single user machine. However that probably rules out most Servers.

Hi John,
I performed that protocol, but even that didn't fix the problem!
I know I've heard someone once suggest (in a moment of resignation) that I just use the blank name and password fields at login, but this is not really an option in elementary school. I only have 478 users in WGM, so I can't believe that would be too taxing for OS X Server!
Thanks again for your thoughts on this.

The last resort is to reimage.
Are you managing computers by Guest computers or
computer groups?
John, we're talking about 23 computers here - re-imaging is not an option for me alone unless I have some technical assistance (I don't know how to 'ghost' images across a network).
I was managing the users by Groups though I did have a list of the computers called "lab computers". I just noticed that when I try accessing the Computers tab in WGM (whether on my teacher's station or on the server itself) I get the same error message:
Got Unexpected Errror
Error of type -14136 on line 432 of

Please advise!
Thank you again,

The list of users is a plist file and should be at at /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist on the clients. See this thread for more information:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2368769&#2368769
If you've got a good plist from a client that sees the right users, you should be able to copy it over. If not, try backing up the file from one client and then deleting it and restarting.

OIM Database Connector User not created

I am using OIM 9.1.0.0 with connector pack 9.0.4.1. When I run trusted recon i see the new user appear in the recon manager, but the user is not created. When I open the event and click on Create User the user is created.
But before this the recon event shows data missing.
How can automate it ??

The GTC framework will generate the rule for you if you configure the matching only property. Please take another look at the docs.
Or you can follow PInk's suggestion and crate the rule manually.

The new user I created can't access YouTube.

I created a new user on my MacBook Pro. This new user appears to be blocked from accessing certain websites, namely YouTube. I have verified that the new user does have the ability to access any website under Parental Controls. The strange part is that while logged on as administrator, these sites are not blocked. Any suggestions?

Only just seen this, I'm in the UK so your original post was at 11 pm UK time
As Demo says, when you use home sharing you need to use the same account on both your computer's iTunes (via the File > Home Sharing menu option), and on your iPad via Settings > Music > Home Sharing . If both the iPad and computer are connected to the same wifi network, and iTunes is open on your computer, you should then get a 'Shared' option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app :
What have you managed to do so far ? Have you enabled home sharing on your computer's iTunes via the File drop-down menu, and if so which account have you used, the old or the new one ? The same account then needs to be used on the iPad as that is what will link them together.
If you can't remember the password for your old account then you might be able to get it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

CUA - Users not created in Central System

Hi - Just put in CUA into a Solution Manager 4.0 client - and have the following issue.
After performing SCUG - the users are brought into the central system BUT not created into the central system.
For example:
Child system is CLNT100
Parent system is CLNT200
In CUA - if I search on the user - I can see it exists in CLNT100, but no entry is created in CLNT200.
This is an issue as I can't use SU10 in CUA - to do mass changes as the users don't exist in this client.
I am pretty experienced with CUA - but have not seen this before - is there some new settitng that I need to make to create the users in the CUA client when performing SCUG?
Thanks

Hi - you only need to perform SCUG in the central system.
I have brought all the users accross from each child system.
I think I may have incorrectly analysed the error.
What I am trying to do is use SU10 in the Central system to make changes on users in the child systems. Issue is that none of the users that are in the child system only show up in SU10.
I therefore think that this is an issue with SU10 in CUA parent - as it is only picking up uses if they exist in this CUA parent client (i.e. not if they only exist in the child systems)
Is there any way to change the behaviour of SU10?

GTC connector,user not created...

Hi All,
I am new to OIM n just aware of the few terminologies of OIM.
I created a GTC connector for flat file reconcilation then run the scheduled task.In the flat file I added two new users.After the process ,,the details of the two new users must have been added to the OIM DB,but it did not.
When i tried searching dese users I was unable to find them there,although the file was copied from the parent directory to the archiving directory.
What could be the possible error?????
TIA

When you compile your adapters , OIM actually compiles the java code of adapters and put them in to OIM_HOME/xellerate/adapters/..
Check this folder if it has all the class files of the adapters , if not there , just compile them again and restart your server .
Thanks

AD new user not populated in OID

Hi,
When I create a new user in AD, it is not getting populated in OID. Though when I modify some attrubutes for the existing user, it gets sync with OID.
What am I missing?
ActiveChgImp is the only profile which is enabled.

1) Check that the new user created in AD is in the containers to be SYNC to OID, the mapping rules are defined in the session of DomainRules in ActiveChgImp.map file. This may be the cause, it happened to us two years ago.
2) check log file at $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/odi/log/ActiveChgImp.trc + ActiveChgImp.aud
