OS creating multiple user/library folders - need help

My computer has decided on it's own to revert back to it's original default settings causing me to lose all the changes that I have made, as well as forcing me to redo the set-up procedures for Mail, Safari and other browsers and applications. This is happening every day after I log off. In looking around for answers I found that Home/User is creating multiple libraries as I keep resetting the computer. I now have 8 library folders all with different contents. I'm sure this is why the computer is reverting to default. Do I delete the extra folders? How do I know which is the one to keep? The one with the most items? I was poking around the apps and other sections, but I don't remember moving or changing anything. I will have to start over again tomorrow and I will then have 9 folders. I would really appreciate someone to help me out of this dilemma.
iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   I have DSL and had a phone line repair shortly before the problem started

It's the same with me. Just discovered, I have 15 additional users created. I'm most eager to learn why this is happening because I have not been able to 'auto login' using my own account.

  • How to create multiple rows in  HFR-- need help urgent

    I want to create a row template in HFR, there are almost 500 members in rows and we already have them listed in an excel sheet in rows. They are not under a particular hierarchy so cannot choose the relationship functions ( like idesc or children and all). Is there a way we can copy paste it some way in HFR from excel or do we need to pick every member in HFR separately.
    Please help.

    Firstly format the members in excel such that they end with a comma, then "Copy" and "Transpose" paste these on a new cell in excel.
    Copy the transposed line and paste in financial reporting studio in the formulae bar & click save.

  • How i can create multiple users at a time (User Administration) in EP

    Hi
    I need to create multiple users at a time. How can i do that through User Administration in EP.
    Please also tell me about import option in User Administration

    Hi,
    1.  First of all create a master user based on which you can create multiple users.
    2.  when you are done with it  export (by selecting the option at user creation) it.
    3.  you can see some text in a window copy it create  a txt file with it, and add as many users as you want
         by cpoy pasting the text multiple times and making necessary change as per the names etc...
    4. save the txt file.
    5. goto import option you were talking about and import the text file and update it.
    6. As it gets updated you are done with the creation of multiples users.
    If you  get stuck somewhere  feel free to  let me know.
    if  this answer satisfies your need, award points and close the thread.

  • Is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle db

    Can Any one tell me, is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle database.

    Hello Nunhum,
    I guess this was not my question.. This is not what I m asking.. I know there is not a single sql statement in oracle ,which could create multiusers alike UNIX/LINUX(OS LEVEL), Whatever you have written..is simple creating them one by one.
    What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

  • Create multiple users

    Hi,
    I would like to create multiple users from my Table Users (Username & Passwords) instead to pass by the express Application Users from apex. I have like 100 users, it will take so long to create with apex.
    Is anyone know the sql code to create that with sql workshop ?
    Thanks

    this is pretty basic but should do it... I haven't tested or anything but should work (or at least with the smallest of tweaks will work). The only problem I can see you encountering will be if the user already exists as I haven't handled this yet but a simple exception handler around the apex_util.create_user call will handle this. You may want to change the password to something else but this at least shows the basics.
    declare
    cursor my_users is
    select user_id user_id, user_id user_name, user_id password
    from users;
    begin
    for u in my_users loop
    apex_util.create_user(
    p_user_id => u.user_id,
    p_user_name => u.user_name
    p_web_password => u.password);
    end loop;
    commit; --can't remember if this needs a commit but shouldn't hurt
    end;

  • Create multiple user accounts

    How could I create multiple user accounts?...
    We have about 2000 students register every year and each of them will be given a user account

    I managed to create many users using the command
    imadmin -D serviceadmin n xxx.com -w password -i <inputfile>....
    the content of the input file
    l KA1000
    F new
    L user1
    W secret
    l KA1001
    F new
    L user2
    W secret
    so I have created 2 user accounts [email protected] and [email protected]....
    I have one more question to ask..how can I create new accounts which have different login id and email address using the input file....for examples for login id KA1000 the email address would be [email protected].
    I've tried this using ldapadd and it worked, so I would like to know wether imadmin command will work the same.....

  • I was told by the Apple store to create multiple user ids to control the content on my iphone. I did that and now I cannot find my original library with all of my playlists

    I was told by the Apple store to create separate user ids on my windows computer to create a new library to control the content on my iphone. I held down shift and clicked i tunes and created the library. I was told you can switch back and forth. I cannot find the old library and all of my playlists. Apple really needs a better way for families to manage their libraries and devices. This is such a pain in the butt!

    No, as I stated in the post this is the first issue we've had with the phone. No, this was not a replacement phone, this is the same phone I bought from the apple store in December and had not been serviced by anyone, it did not have any issues until last week.

  • Multiple users - shared folders - file permissions

    I want to be able to copy and move files between two user accounts so that each user will have read-write permsssions for those files. I have the standard Shared User folder (HD:Users:Shared), and the standard Users' Shared folders.
    More specifically, I want to copy or move files to either of these shared folders and have those files take on the permissions of the shared folder into which they are copied or moved. As of now they do not do that; whether copied or moved, they retain the permissions they were created with.
    "Apply to enclosed items" only works to change permissions for items already in a folder, not for new items. I haven't found a Folder Action for the purpose, nor anything in Automator that would appear to help.

    Easiest sweetest way is to create a read/write sparse disk image and place it in your /Users/Shared
    directory.
    The default method for mounting disk images will result in the user having full ownership privileges
    of all the files & folders contained therein. Thus when scanning a mounted disk image, and copying
    data to/from it, there will be no permission related errors. The implications of this become huge
    when you realize that anyone who mounts a DMG will have full access. This allows you to share your
    data with other users without having to worry about access restrictions. This can be invaluable when
    synchronizing with a "central repository" that you need several users to have access to.
    Creating a blank disk image for storage
    You can use Disk Utility to create a blank disk image to store files. Normally, you need to gather all
    the files you want to be included into a single location before you create a disk image. However,
    with a blank disk image, you can add files to the image at any time.
    To create a blank disk image, Open Disk Utility:
    Choose File > New > Blank Disk Image.
    Type a name for the disk image, and choose where you want to save it from the pop-up menu.
    In Volume name, enter the name for the volume that appears on your desktop when you double
    -click the disk image.
    Choose the size of the disk image from the Volume Size pop-up menu.
    To require a password to open the disk image, choose an encryption scheme from Encryption.
    Choose “Single partition - Apple Partition Map” from the Partitions pop-up menu.
    Choose “sparse bundle disk image” from the Image Format pop-up menu.
    Click Create.
    Resizing a disk image
    If you can read from and write to a disk image, you can make it larger or smaller when you either
    need to save disk space or store more in it.
    To resize a disk image:
    Open Disk Utility. Select the disk image if it appears in the list of disks and volumes, and then click
    Resize in the toolbar.
    Otherwise, click Resize in the toolbar, and then select a disk image from the dialog that appears.
    Select a new size.
    You can even get fancier by creating a small app with automator that will mount the image, then
    place it (the app) in each user's login startup item list. Then the image will mount on the desktop
    when the user logs in and will be easily accessible like any other mounted disk.

    Hi,
    Okay problem solved. What I have done is to create the user with a standard password and then login as that user and change the password using dbms_ldap to the password they selected. I then go on and make the other changes and login to sso.
    Have tested this with the pwdMustChange option turned on and it works a treat!
    Great, thanks for the help though.

  • Creating multiple users for an apex application

    Hi,
    I have an application deployed on apex 4.0. For my application currently there is only one default user having the same username / password as the workspace which this application is a part of. However, I need to have multiple users to be able to segregate roles. I have created a table with the required users and corresponding passwords, however, am unable to ,make the login page reference this table instead of the default username and password it currently does. Can someone please help me out.

  • Creating multiple users

    For testing purposes, I'd like to have multiple usernames to

    You can create another AdobeID using a different e-mail
    address and use as your second login.
    One thing to notice, though, is that when using the
    AdobeHSAuthenticator there is no difference between a user with an
    AdobeID that is not the account/room owner and a named guest. Both
    will enter the meeting as guest and get promoted if you allow it.
    If you want to experiment with different roles (because your
    application uses more than the standard roles provided by Cocomo)
    or you need to test with users with a "permanent" user ID you
    should look at external authentication, where you create your users
    and assign them the userID and role that you require.
    The SDK comes with an example
    (sdk/examples/ExternalAuthentication) that may help you (look at
    the java or php code: they show a basic server-side application
    that generates the authentication tokens using the name and role
    that you set)
