Not able to create new user (account)

I would like to create a new user on my account, but when I click on the + sign I get no response. It is not grey'd out, and appears to be an option - the lock is open, and I am the adminstrator signed in as such(there is currently only one account on the compuer)
I've tried the obvious solutions like restarting. Any tips?
Thanks!

To confirm:
This is in reference to OS 10.3.9 user accounts - not iPod.
I didn't mean to post in this forum!

Not able to create new users or groups

hi all,
We have configured multiple LDAPs by changing XML file.
But now we are not able to create new users or groups.It is giving error saying that "Adapter is configured as read-only"
Can anybody help me out in this problem.
Thanking You,
Amol.

For multiple LDAPs to work we have downloaded the Xml file namely "Flat hierarchy + Database "
We made the necessary changes and then uploaded it.
Now we want to create users or groups in portal-database and not in LDAP. But it is throwing error saying that "Adapter is read only". We suppose that it is trying to create users and groups in LDAP.
So can anyone help us to create users or groups in portal-database.
Thanking You,
Amol.

Old user account not accessible - Had to create new user account

Why was I forced to create a new user account in order to access Apple discussions? The last time I had posted to Apple discussions was 11/06. From the emails notifying me of replies to my post, I can still go to the link where my question and the replies are. Last week I wanted to post another question. Instead I encountered a circular problem. Every time I tried to log in to discussions with my Apple ID and password (the same as my .Mac name and password, which were working fine for accessing .Mac), I was told that there was an error in my password. When I tried again, I was repeatedly re-directed to a "create new user account" web page that listed my .Mac email address as my Apple ID, as it should have. I tried to re-create my old user account with my own [real] name (as before) and was told that name was in use! Of course, it was me! (I had always used by real first name and surname as my name on Apple discussions.) So finally, very frustrated, I created a new name, a nickname, for discussions, and it worked. Now, all my previous posts are gone. It's as if I didn't exist in the Apple world until today, 9/16/07, but I originally had established my user account in 2004. I tried asking about this in a phone call to Apple support, but I was re-directed to the .Mac web site. Then I posted a question at .Mac feedback to no avail. I had a feeling that as soon as I "obeyed" and created a new user account that wouldn't be recognized as myself, my past posts would be sent into oblivion. I don't like losing all my previous posts that were attached to my user account. I have found this problem very frustrating and would really like an explanation.

Hi decemberbaby,
Try this procedure.
Delete all the Apple Cookies in your browser, and empty the Cache.
Go here Discussions Sign In, and try logging in with your original Apple ID again.
If that still doesn't work, delete the Cookies again, and go to My Info, and log in with the original Apple ID.
If you get the error message "Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly.", click on "Did you forget your password? Click here for assistance".
On the page that opens, you can also click on "Forget your Apple ID

If you can't 'Create new user account' - try this!

Over the last few days I've wasted many hours trying unsuccessfully to create a new user account so I can post to Apple Discussions. Kept going round an endless loop, back to the 'Create New User Account' form. Tried every possible solution I found through internet searches, to no avail.
The answer, for me, turned out to be simply choosing a different alias - one that nobody else was using, presumably.
Why, oh why, isn't there an error message that tells you this? It would have saved me so much time and frustration - and many other people too, I'm sure.

Welcome, finally, to Discussions - you are not the first to complain about this, if you like, you can go to app.com/feedback and register your complain there as well.

Please help.It happens only on few sub sites

Hi V_K04,
You said that it happened only on few sub sites, whether this issue occurred on some subsites, and some subsite worked well.
Please check whether there are some differences between the subsites that worked well and the problematic subsites.
Whether this issue occurred on all libraries and lists on problematic subsites.
Whether there are some customizations in these problematic libraries and lists.
Please create a new library and a new list, test again, compare the result.

Not able to create new entry in RSADMIN Table

Hi All,
        I am going thru the OSS note 1275837 (Note 1275837 - PrecServer: process based load distribution (ABAP part)), as it recommends
        add the entry "BWPREC_USE_NEW_LOAD" with value "X" in table "RSADMIN"
      When I check in SE11 and SE16 there is no option to create button for above entry in table RSADMIN.
      Please advise for any help to create above entry.
Thanks
Ganesh Reddy.

   I got access key from our basis team. But still not able to create new entry as mentioned in OSS note. Any further help....
Thanks

Hi
Goto SM30 - Table Maintanance Generator and enter the table name and click on button maintain ,it will show the error message
"The maintenance dialog for RSADMIN is incomplete or not defined" because the table maintenance is not allowed manually.
First Option
When you double click the error message a performance assistant screen will open in that you can see Procedure
"Generate the required maintenance dialog" click on that and try to maintain the table using Access Key, as i dont have access key i have not tried this option.
Second Option
You can write an SE38 program with an insert statement.
TABLES rsadmin.
DATA: wa TYPE rsadmin.
wa-object = 'object name'.
wa-value = 'X'.
INSERT into rsadmin values wa.
Thanks

Login page keeps going to "Create new user account" on login

For about 3 weeks, whenever I log in, the next page I get is nearly always the "Create new user account" page. This happens regardless of whether I wait to let AutoFill enter my user name and password or whether I fill in the correct info myself.
When I click the back button on my browser and finally arrive at the page with the forums list, I'm always registered as logged in. But sometimes I just end up back on the login page with a blank entry box.
How do I get to the forums page without having to get out of the "new user account" page first? (While this isn't a huge problem, it's time-wasting and kind of annoying, and it didn't used to happen.)

Hi Turtlewiz!
Have you tried deleting your browser cache & cookies?
Good Luck!

Users not able to create new ojects in Integration Repository

Hi,
    We did a heterogeneous copy of PI from AIX to HPUX. After that we have done few post installation steps w.r.to PI Specific usage type.

"You are not permitted to create new objects since the software component cannot be changed".
   this is working with PISUPER user but not with any development user id and passwd.
    any response is higly appreciated.
Thanks

Hey NM,
    Thanks a lot for your suggestion. problem got resolved when i did what you said (checking the attributes with developers user id's)

Windows 7 Home Premium problem creating new user account

I am unable to create a new user account on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have 3 accounts on it already, two are adminstrators, and just trying to add a fourth one (standard user).
I go to User Accounts, click Create new account, give it a name, keep Standard user checked, and press Create Account. The account appears to get created and shows up on the User Accounts screen, though it shows that it is password protected already, even
though I didn't have an opportunity to give it a password yet. I can manage that new user account and delete the password, and it then shows up on User Accounts as not having a password.
When I try to log on as that user from the main logon screen, it prompts me for the password (if I have specified one), but it doesn't accept the password (I've tried defining and using various ones), and I get the message "The user name or password is incorrect".
If I don't define a password for that account, when I click on the account button to logon, I get that same error message immediately.
I also noticed that C:\Users doesn't include the new user account folder there. Don't know if that should've been created at this point before logging on for the first time. I also noticed that there's a "Default User" folder that has a lock on the folder
icon, and I'm not able to open that folder (says it's invalid). There is a "Default" folder there with some content in it and I am able to view it. Don't know if either of these folders act as templates for new users.
At some point months ago I did have a profile problem with one of the existing accounts, and had to follow some suggestions on repairing that user profile. Don't know if that perhaps has complicated things. The 3 existing user accounts are working fine.
Any tips on what I can try to get a new account established?
Thanks, Chuck

I agree with the same problem and the answer below did not work either. I tried changing permissions to Users directory and that did not work either. I even tried creating the directory name of user I wanted to install and that was recognized and
being used, but will not start a user directory for new user.

How to create new user account and delete old one?

Greetings,
we have wanted to change our alias on the discussions group but understand from the frequently asked questions section that,
"Once you create an alias, you cannot make changes to it. If you want to change your alias, you will need to create a new User Account".
However it does not go on to tell us specifically how to now set up a "new User Account". Could someone specify how to do this? And if we do this, how would we then delete the current User Account? Thank you.
Chris

Thanks for the reply.
However I am still confused. I originally thought the "user account" referred to an account specific to the Discussions Forums, not the general "Apple ID" however your email seems to suggest they are one and the same....Please clarify.
If so, however I do not think I am able to change my Apple ID. As I am a mobile me user I am required to us my mobile me address for my apple ID.....and do not think I can have two ID's with the same mobile me address.....
Any additional thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
Chris
Not with the same Primary address, but you can use your MM address as a secondary one. That is how I have my 2 Apple IDs setup. 1 uses my Dot Mac address and the other uses an ISP address as the Primary with the latter having my Dot Mac address as an alternate address.
Warning, even if you create a new account, you won't be able to use your current ALIAS with the new account.

Reimaged G4 with Tiger 10.4 not able to create initial user. It says Unexpected error, unable to create. I can not go any further. Help.

I'm have trouble with a new install of Tiger 10.4. In the very beginning after entering my location and info, the next step is to create a user account. This is the furthest I get. It says Unexpected error has occured. ( Unable to create standard user) The only option is to select quit and it first boot up steps start all over again. Any info would help.
Thanks

Hi, I think you may need to start over.
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
   2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
      *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
   3. Click the Erase tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to install.

Can't create new user account....

Hi- I am trying to create a new user account so that I can see if some of the issues I am having with my G4 Mac also are issues under a different account. I have (several times) created a new account and assigned a password and also tried having no password. Either logging out or using Fast User Switching, I click on the new user icon and either type in the password (I know I have it correct since it's my default password) or not type it in if I have no password set, and click on login. That's when I get the shaking window. No matter what I do, I can't login!! I am at a loss of what to do or what could be causing this. Any help will make me a happy Mac user again! Judy
PS- After I had this problem surface, I ran Monoligual and got rid of lots of language support and I also ran Font Nuke to clean out some font caches.... but these were run after I had problems setting up a new user account. I was having issues with the new upgrade for my genealogy program, Reunion (still having issues actually-they can't figure out what's causing the problem) and I removed some "things" from Login Items. Can't tell you what they were but I have some there still. I ran Disk Warrior and iDefrag also recently. Also have repaired permissions. The other issue I had (yesterday anyway-haven't used it much today yet) is that Safari was crashing when I was accessing my public library's online catalog............. I don't know if any of these are related to my inability to create a new user account or not but thought I'd throw that into the mix.

You say a dialog comes up for you to enter a password when you don't have a password while using Fast User Switching. That should not happen.
If you set up an account without setting the password, Fast User Switching won't bring up the password dialog for that account. Instead, it will instantly switch to that account when you choose it.
Make sure there is nothing in the password field when you set up the account, or change the password and don't type anything in for either the new or verify fields. It'll ask you to confirm that you don't want a password and "Cancel" will be the default button. Choose the "Ok" button instead.
That should do it. If not, then I have no idea.

Account mail for user can't create after create new users account

Moving itunes content when creating new user account

Recently added two iphones to our rapidly growing apple family of devices. Our imac was originally set up with just one main user account the whole family shared. The problem I have is with sharing, syncing, merging with my iphone all family shared information. For example, the contact list on the shared family mac is huge and includes many "x-mas card only people" that I will never need to call. Same with shared calendar. If make some quick notes or reminders on my calendar just for me, it replicates on to everyones device. The guy at the apple store suggested I should have my own account. I have done that and am now seeing the limitations OSX puts on different accounts as it seeks to protect each account. An example here is trying to share and use our iphoto library. My goal is to have itunes in my new , separate account that syncs to my own contact list (won't change back to the full family list every time I sync), has just the apps I want (not my daughters 300 apps that seem to keep re-appearing on my phone), still be able to sync to the family calendar but maybe have one of my own as well, have my own playlists from itunes 9I was able to find a way to access the big family music library in my account) and be able to build iphoto albums to sync.
I think problems stem from a lack of understanding the basics of what separate "accounts" really can and can't do as it relates to different applications and devices.
Thanks for any help!
