No admin account URGENT HELP PLEASE :(

so basically i have the most recent macbook (10.6.4 snow leopard). It is a school laptop so if we have any problems we have to take it to our school IT people. I really want to avoid this because they take forever and their way of fixing something is to wipe everything clean.
Getting to the point, i was recently changing some user settings when i realised that my laptop was telling me that i needed an admin name and password. I entered my details but it still wouldn't let me in. i then realised that my account had been set to 'standard'. I have browsed through numerous forums to find the answer but the majority of them say that you have to reimage your laptop. I do have everything backed up so i dont really care if that is the thing i have to do. The problem is that to make any change i must have an admin name and password which defeats the whole purpose.
im really stuck and dont know what to do please help me

i have all the disks including another one that the school supplied that installs iwork and ilife. I cant seem to get single user mode or boot up with the disk (maybe my timing is wrong?). i was really trying to avoid giving it in to the IT department but looks like i will have to now. im leaving my school at the end of the year for another school that dosent give laptops (they kept them and you can borrow them from the library for about 2 weeks if you need a computer) so i would have to give it back (you can only keep it if you leave at the end of year 12 because they aren't worth much after 3 years of being used 24/7 so my dad says that he might buy this laptop of my current school for a reduced price (they were bought late 2009 and distributed a little before the middle of the year) so i want to make sure that my laptop is perfect if that ends up going through.
but if anyone has any more ideas its only saturday so ive still got time to try them out. thanks again for everyones help so far :P

    My dad and I have shared an iTunes account for years and I just created a new apple id but I have no Idea how to get all those purchases to this new account. Help please?

    The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not.  However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

  • I bought a used iphone 4 (gsm) and it was locked on an icloud account i asked the old owner to remove the device from his devices list on icloud and he did but the iphone is still asking to be activated on his icloud account. any help please???

    If it's still asking for the seller's Apple ID and password, then he most likely did not actually remove the iPhone from iCloud. If the problem persists, return the iPhone and get your money back. The seller can figure out the problem and resell the iPhone later.

  • Load XML in intranet ? urgent help please...

    Dear friends, I need urgent help: I have a CAYIN screen (which lets me display evetns, etc) and gives me the option of loading/displaying a FLASH (SWF) file, well, I need this SWF to load some XML data ("texto.xml") but  seems that when the CAYIN program which executes flash, does not allow the SWF to find the XML in the same folder...
    Then I tried many ways to load the XML file with no success till now. Some tries are :
    obj_xml.load("\\192.168.0.100\media\texto.xml")
    obj_xml.load("\media\texto.xml")
    obj_xml.load("texto.xml")
    obj_xml.load("../media/texto.xml")
    obj_xml.load("\\media\texto.xml")
    obj_xml.load("file:\\192.168.0.100\media\texto.xml")
    obj_xml.load("..\\192.168.0.100\media\texto.xml")
    I guess I am writting something wrong or forgetting something. Would anyone please help me ? because these files are in an internal server "192.168.0.100" (intranet).
    Urgent help please, thanks in advance,

    if the swf is in a directory with subdirectory media which contains texto.xml, use:
    obj_xml.load("media/texto.xml")

  • URGENT HELP PLEASE - drop index hangs on SAP

    Hi all,
    OS = Linux
    DBVersion = Oracle10.2.0.2
    Need some urgent help advise please on how to get around this problem.
    On a SAP system, am trying to drop six indexes, largest is 300MB and smallest is 50MB.
    I tried running drop index sapusername.index_name on the 50MB index via SQL*Plus and it seems to be taking forever. Can anyone please suggest if there is anything I can check on the database on why it is taking such a long time?
    I can leave it to run overnight but worried that when I come back the next day, it will still be hanged. Is there any quick way of dropping the index, .i.e. drop immediate ... :-)
    Am not using SAP's BRTOOLs as it is also hanging from there and the SAP-ADMIN had approved for the DBA to drop it from our end instead.
    Any response and advise on this will be very much appreciated.
    From Google'ing, I found some that mentioned that the fault could be because of the existence of the constraints on the table that I am dropping the index of.
    Checking the table, it has 17 SYS_ named constraints. None of these constraints have INDEX_NAME that refers to the indexes that am dropping.
    Should I disable the constraints and then run the drop index again?
    Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: user649596 on Apr 13, 2010 11:49 PM

    Should I disable the constraints and then run the drop index again?NO, certainly not !!
    Ask SAP Support on what methods you should use to diagnose the "hang" and what your next step(s) should be.

  • Constant request of permission in Controlled Account. Help please?

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with a Parental Controlled application in Lion. (Actually this problem has remained from Leopard, SL, and now Lion)
    Here it is.
    I set up an account for kids to use, and applications that are allowed from inside the Admin account, as per usual. Given permission for various applications to be used for example Open Office, Safari, etc and these all work as expected.
    But VirtualBox constantly requests permission to run in the Parental Controlled account.
    Even when I input admin details in the error window to "Always Allow" the message will always come back up. And then the application will either quit, or will not allow the VM disk image to load. It seems random.
    To me it's almost like I can't give permission fast enough to have the computer register my credentials correctly.
    I have 4 MacBooks with different flavours of OSX on them and they will all display the same behaviour, some constantly, others every so often.
    I've done everything I can think of to rectify this problem (not necessarily in this order)
    Repairing permissions
    Running Onyx
    Installing the (Combo) updates to the latest version of whatever system
    Zapping PRAM
    Running Disk Utility
    Does anyone have any idea? I bet this is something simple that I'm missing, but I think I've run out of ideas....
    Help?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section. If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, you can't reset the questions yourself, and nobody on these boards can reset them for you.
    Setting up a rescue email address requires correctly answering two of the questions.

  • 10.5.7 Hosed my admin account!  Help.

    Hi all-
    Having installed 10.5.7, I can no longer launch many programs in my admin account. This is not the case in any of my three limited user accounts. In the admin account, some dock icons are replaced by the generic "apps" icon, and I cannot launch finder, safari, and numbers to name a few. I cannot even double click on a disk image. When I try to launch an app like safari, the warning I get is: "You cannot open the application "(null)" because it may be damaged or incomplete." It sounds like the install went bad - but just on this admin account. So, I logged into a limited user account and downloaded the 10.5.7 combo update and reinstalled. No luck. Any ideas?
    I have a very recent time machine backup, but it was completed while the system was at 10.5.6. If I restore from a TM backup, is this going to cause a problem because the system is now at 10.5.7? Thanks in advance for your the help.

    Hi,
    Lot's of people appear to be having problems with this new update (thus I'm holding off with installing it...)
    The easiest way to rollback Mac OS X is to boot from the Leopard install DVD
    when you reach to screen to specify the destination for the installation choose the boot volume (the one with Mac OS X on it).
    Click the "options" button at the bottom left; here choose "Archive and Install", ensuring to preserve User's and Network settings (it is automatically enabled by default)
    Click OK to install the new system.
    After the installation is complete, look for the folder called Previous System on your hard disk; this will contain the archived version of Leopard. Open it up to check that there are no files in there that you need, after which it’s safe to delete it (it’s probably better to leave the Previous System folder in place for a few days, just in case).
    Incidentally, you might need to reinstall some third-party applications after an Archive and Install reinstallation, but it’s simpler – and usually quicker - than a complete reformat.
    Hope that helps you.
    Kind Regards,
    Peter.

  • Firewire Port not working, URGENT help please¡¡¡

    Hello People, i´ve just got a new Mac Mini  last week, and i´ve been trying to get my Alesis MasterControl audio interface, and is just a complete mess.
    This happened right after i´ve upgraded to 10.8.3 so i don´t know, the weird thing is that if i connect my old iBook to the Mac Mini the FW800 port works, but everytime i connect the audio interface, nothing happens, also the drivers from alesis, are up to date. i first thought about the port of the Mixer went bad, but it has 2 and non of them works, also thought about the cable but the same cable works when i connect my iBook, and the mixer is not bus powered, it has it´s own power supply.
    Needless to say i´ve already done the usual reset PRAM, turn of the Mac unplugged for 30 hour to reset the bus. etc.
    This is the usual firewire only system log that i get:

  • Need Urgent help please? I need to restore from a previous iphone backup.

    Oops, I admit it - I messed up but need help please?? I received a replacement iphone today. My broken iphone OS and my itunes had the latest software updates and I did a full backup before going to the store to get the rerplacement. However, when I got home with the replacement iphone and plugged it in, it asked if I wanted to update the OS on it. I made the mistake of saying yes. It then made a backup of the empty factory settings from the new replacement and restored from that rahter than the backup I made before going to the store. Yes I know I should have said no and just did the restore which would have resotred my previous backup that I made before going to the store. Then after everything would be allright I could have told it to update the OS.
    You can slap my in the face or I will do it myslef for making such a stupid mistake. All ready did the "I should have had a V" thing to my forehead.
    After seeing the restore was fromthe factory settings rather than my earlier good backup, I went into my documents and drilled down to the mobile sync backup and saw that one of the three folders (with giberish as a title) has a lot of information with the date and time I did the backup before going to the store.
    Could I possibly delete the later (factory setting backup) folder and then do a restore to get my good backup onto the iphone? I didn't do that yet in fear that it might mess something else up on the iphone and I wanted to check with you experts here first for guidance and assistance, PLEASE?
    I'll be anxiously awaiting any help you can give!
    Thank you!!

    Hopt and OneOrangeTree, Thank you both very much for replying!!
    It took me a long time to get back to the dissucison group because I tried both of your suggestions which therfore had to do about 4 restores. They take quite a while (about 50 minutes each actually). Your help got me half way there and is very apprecaited! I did manage (with your excellent help) to get most of my backup put onto the replaced iphone. the photos, music, and videos didn't get put over. I think I can move those back over by making sure they are selected in the seperate tabbed screens for the iphone. However, I can't get to those screens because every time I connect the iphone now, it brings up the "set up your phone screen". The one with the "an iphone has been previously synced with this compter" setup as new phone or restore from ....
    Well I did the resotre from 3 times and that page still comes up when I plug in the iphone. Yes, I did close itunes, reboot the PC, and powered off the iphone and then brouhgt it back up before connecting (all several times), but itunes still takes me to the same "setup iphone screen".
    Can you help me to get it to the standard iphone screen and there I will make sure the selected items are checked and do a sync.
    Please know I do appreicate your kind assistance so far and hope someone can get me the rest of the way!
    The "Backup" do not store your Applications, Music, Video's. It saves your settings, your application preferences, etc.
