New User on 'inherited' computer - applications crashing

Received the computer 2 months ago and changed user names, etc to my own. Airport could not find base station (while other computers could), upgraded to Leopard and many applications became unstable frequently - did the software updates and it got worse - I suspect that the problem is with the user names and permissions, etc. but need guidance with the correct set-up of accounts and users so all is compatible - I would appreciate in feedback!
Thanks!

Hi! HERE is some installation advice and HERE is some additional advice and HERE is some more info. Just remember the erase and install method erases everything and starts completely new. Tom

    How do I sync my Ipod to a new library after my computer has crashed?

    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    Sync transfer is one way, matching the device content to the content on the computer, except purchased content as mentioned above.  For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing):

    In general do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining a backup of your media on a computer backup.

  • Mite, I addI just upgrade from Mavericks to Yoseed a new user to my computer , however it doesn't show up at startup. What's going on?

    I just upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, I added a new user to my computer however it does not show up on start up.  What can I do to change this?

    If you are in System Preferences > Users & Groups, click Login Items at the bottom of the list of users in the left side bar, and do you have the box checked to show the users?

  • Adding new Users ,Roles in existing application except jdev

    Dear All,
    I am creating a test application to workaround with adf security, I created some users, enterprise roles and application roles, gave proper mapping to the adf resources(jsf and taskflows), and every thing is working fine. I am doing all this thing in integrated wls server. But suppose if the user wants to create some new users, roles then how will he do this things ?
    I accessed the integrated wls console but got no hints in deployments section-> application->security tab.
    Is there any other way..?
    Regards,
    Santosh
    Jdeveloper 11.1.1.1.2.0

    Hi,
    there is no unified API in ADF Security to manage identities. If you work with the WLS integrated LDAP then you can use OPSS (see Fusion Middleware documentation) and access the JPS factory and provider. If you identities are stored in other system (RDBMS, OID etc.) then you use APIs exposed by these technologies (You may also want to check with Oracle Identity Management to see if there are APIs they expose for this). Because ADF Security does not provide its own identity store, changing users and roles is not in the domain of it (I should say "not yet" as it is on my wish list)

  • Sharing iTunes with new user on same computer

    Hi--
    I'm adding a user to my computer and I want him to be able to access my music. I've moved the music to a public folder, updated everything; however, when I try to add to library in his account, the music folder has a minus bar on it, even though share music is turned on in MY user account.
    I figure I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what it is, and followed all the suggestions on the apple page.
    Any other ideas? Thanks!

    I don't suppose there's anyway I can just "UNDO" everything and start all over?
    Unfortunately no, however we can try to resolve this. Inside your username home folder is the sub-folder labeled Music. Did you just move the iTunes Music folder that's inside the iTunes? If so then you'll need to put it back into the iTunes folder and move the entire folder to your username music folder. The iTunes Library & iTunes Music Library.xml file within the iTunes folder contains your library & playlists info. They need to be kept in the main iTunes folder.

  • Should CS6 & CC both work on new Windows 8.1 computer, CC Crashes

    I have CS5 and CC on laptop ok, but with CS6 & CC on new desktop with 8.1 windows CC Opens, then shows error and closes
    Can they both be on the same computer or not?

    the help line for this site sent turned my over to Omnihelp. Very knowledgeable people who solved several problems  but, the last one was Photoshop CC. The problem with it turned out to be a plug in from NIK software which once disabled all was well\
    NIK has of course offered me solution to that problem which I will do tomorrow so I can use their plugins. All would seem to end well, thanks for your input

  • How do I create a default profile for all users of a computer in Windows 7/Vista for Firefox versions above 8? I'd like all new users on a computer to get the same defaults, bookmarks, homepage, etc...

    I have found help for this on older versions of Firefox, but I can't seem to find anything for the latest versions above 8. There must be someway to accomplish this for imaging on a large scale.

    You can create a defaults\profile template folder in the Firefox program folder for new profiles the same way as in older versions. That folder only isn't there anymore because all files have been moved to the omni.ja(r) archive, so you need to create it yourself.

  • I've added a new user to my computer and there doesn't seem to be any firefox connected to it. Do I have to install firefox for the new user also?

    I went to set up a separate user for my child and when I was finished there was no Firefox icon . All it showed was Explorer. Do I have to download Firefox for every user? Please help?

    Sounds that you didn't create a Firefox desktop icon for each user in the All Users group (C:\Users\All Users\Desktop), but only for the current user. You can either create a desktop shortcut to start Firefox on the desktop of your child to the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" program or create that shortcut for all users in the "C:\Users\All Users\Desktop" folder.
    If you also need a Start menu entry that place a shortcut here:
    "C:\Users\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox"

  • Workgroup manager crash on creating a new user?

    Everytime I add a new user to workgroup manager, it crash.
    When I launch it again it has created a new user called untitled,
    I can edit that user but not change its shortname,
    so that user will forever be called untitled.
    I run 10.4.7 with 10.4.7 admin tools, even tho workgroup manager still say 10.4.4
    Is there some way I can manually add a user to give it the proper shortname and then edit it with workgroup manager?
    I've had this problem for a long time, and system upgrading and permission fixes doesnt solve the problem!

    I am having the same issues. I will let you know what I find out.

  • I Can Add a new user, But the new user cannot logg in how can I solve this?

    Hi there. When I add a new user every thing works great except when I try to logg this new user. The computer freezers at the logging window with the processing bar working indefinetly. To fix it I have to AppleCtrlpower swich to get out and restrat the computer. I can only logg in as the administrator... Can any one help me and point me to a right solution. Thank you!

    Javivi:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It is difficult to tell why your new user account is not working, but one has to start some place.
    First try Starting up in Safe Mode. Log in with the original user account, the restart the computer normally and log into the original user account. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Launch Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel and First Aid in the main panel. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU.
    Go to System Prefs > Accounts and recheck the new account, especially the login options. If everything seems OK quit System Preferences and restart. Try logging into the new accounts. If you have problems force shut down and Start up in Safe Mode again.
    It may be easiest to just delete the new account and start over, as you do not yet have any data in it. However, if you want to continue to trouble shoot we can try it for a while.
    Please post back with a report of your experience and any questions or comments you may have.
    Good luck.

  • The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt).  My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username.  Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

    The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt).  My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username.  Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)?  I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to.  Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad.  PLease help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
    You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

  • I can't add a new user in my Account Administration Panel, why?

    I have been  using DPS Professional for a while, but now I'm in troubles with it. I was able to create new users and then create applications assigned with the user I added before, but now I just can't do it anymore.
    Even if it's a new Adobe ID, the problem stills. I have deleted current users and then I tried to add them again and no problem occurred.
    I do not know what to do, please help.

    See http://status.adobedps.com/?p=840 for an update on this issue and for a workaround that will enable you to complete the process of adding a new user.

  • New User Registration page does not launch

    I am setting up a simple process to register a new user to my APEX application. At the login screen, the user can select "new user registration" button if they would like to register for a new id. Well, it was working for awhile and it stopped working sometime after I added the validations for the new registration fields. Now, whenever I launch the login screen and click on the "new user registration" nothing happens. If I bring up the "new user registration" page in the application builder, and click "run", it launches the login screen! I do have redirects back to the login screen in the event that the user clicks "cancel" or "register" on the "new user registration" page.
    This is very strange. Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause or how to track this down?
    Thanks,
    Reid

    I'll see if I can put the app on apex.oracle.com. I disabled the redirects and all of the not null validations I had. It's still behaving the way it did.
    In the meantime, I noticed this oddity. It seems like there is a mismatch between the URL page # and the actual page that is displayed. Here is what I mean. Here is the url:
    http://rilian:8080/apex/f?p=103:8:7659307535557230:::::
    See the page should be p=103:8. This is app 103, page 8, right?
    Well, that is the correct app and page. However, it displays app 103, page 101.
    When I click on the "new user registration" button, the url changes to this:
    http://rilian:8080/apex/f?p=103:8:7659307535557230::NO:8::
    And, I'm still on page 101, not page 8.
    Like I said before, this was working like a champ earlier this week and I went to show my wife how I had it working and boom it stopped. LOL. Murphy's law...
    Thanks again,
    Reid
