Our accountant is no longer allowed access to the QuickBooks file

My main server is Small Business Server 2008 Standard (i.e. pre-R2). I have another box running Server 2012 that's just acting as a Hyper-V host. On that server I have three relevant VMs, all Windows 7 Professional and joined to the domain. One
is acting as a host for our QuickBooks file and running some other QuickBooks-related tasks. The other two are for two people who have to access QuickBooks remotely via RDP (we don't have a Terminal Server license).
Our accountant has been accessing the QuickBooks file for several weeks from an in-office domain-joined Windows 7 Pro computer at the shared resource "\\Quickbooks-host\QuickBooks Data". Today she's told that she's not allowed to access Quickbooks-host.
In the SBS console she is set for local administrator access to that computer. On Quickbooks-host the "Quickbooks Data" folder is shared with her having explicit full control as <domain>\<user>, both in Properties | Sharing | Share...
and Properties | Sharing | Advanced Sharing ... | Permissions. On Quickbooks-host she is listed in Control Panel | User Accounts | Give other users access to this computer under her user name and my domain as an administrator. What more could Microsoft
possibly want?
(BTW, I despise Microsoft's networking permissions management. Why must I give permission in two places for the same resource, and still have it not work?)
So I tried to get her going for the day by letting her RDP into one of the other two VMs, since the person that regularly uses that is in the office today. She's a member of Remote Desktop Users and Mobile Users and a few others. But I can't
connect using her account, with or without a domain and using the real domain name or "quickbooks-host" as the domain name. SOmetims I just get "login failed", sometimes I get a pop-up "The connection was denied because the user
account is not authorized for remote login". I can't find any more places to add authorization.
Did I mention how much I despise Windows' control of networking permissions?
So is there any way to convince Windows 7 that our accountant is allowed access?

Hi,
Glad to see your problem resolved, hope your experience is helpful with others.

Application no longer allowed access to the desktop in Mavericks

HI I have a particularly irritating problem. For a while now any application that attempts to access the desktop upon initial startup or to save a file to it will hang requiring a force quit from the finder. Installations go without a hitch. This problem only appears when apps either default to the desktop on first run or when they are directed to save a file from them to the desktop. Drag and drop operations from local folders like documents and downloads or external drives or folders to the desktop have to problem doing so. I have run repair permissions on my main drive.

Any Ideas on what to do so I can get functionality back on my system. Currently I am on a late 2007 iMac extreme edition 2.88gighertz model with 4 gigs of ram. I am running the latest updates to Mavericks. Overall its not a problem with programs that I can set or open with no preference to start but there are some programs that default to the desktop upon initial startup. These are effectively unusable at present. Thanks in advance for the help.

Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Or you can do it from the Recovery volume as described by machack in this post:

1. Restart holding down the Command and R keys.
2. You’ll be at the Repair Utilities screen. Click the Utilities item in the Menu Bar, then click Terminal.
3. In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
4. The password reset utility window launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account where you’re having issues.
5. At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the Reset button there.
The process takes a few minutes. When it’s completed, restart.

"My Account" can no longer be accessed through the log in

Access to Credit Card accounts log in for Tesco no problem.
Yet. since last two updates I can no longer access my savings accounts through the log in proceedure. On the pin and memorable word page(2nd log in page proceedure) it now appears as "web page cannot be found". No such problem with Internet Explorer.

Did you call your bank to see if there's a problem with your savings account?
Did you try using other browsers, e.g. IE or Google Chrome to see if you can log-in from them?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I have the computer with my itunes library on it but no longer have access to the email account the library was set up with. How can I transfer the library to a new appleid/email?

I have the computer that holds my itunes library. However, I no longer have access to the email account (and therefore apple account) it was set up with so can't sync/update etc. How can I transfer the library to my new apple id? Any help gratefully received as searched the internet but can't find the answer!
Have ipod touch 4th gen, ipod touch 5th gen and ipod nano 7th gen all to sync to library.

Hi Stillme,
You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. You need to go into the old Apple ID and change it to the new email address instead of using a new Apple ID altogether.
Apple - My Apple ID
If you can't remember the password to the old ID, then click on Reset your Password, and answer the Security Questions. If you can't remember the Security Questions, contact iTunes Support and have them reset:
APPLE ID SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get into your old account, Edit the Apple ID to your new email address. Before you will be able to do that you are going to have to change the email address on the new Apple ID to something else.
Cheers,

HT4859 I need help! I know longer have access to the email that I opened my icloud account with and I can't remember my password. I have tried asking Apple for help and no one has been able to! Any advice

I need help! I no longer have access to the email that I opened my icloud account with many years ago and I can't remember my password anyway! However it continues to backup all my stuff. But I have no access to go in and delete items or manage my account. The pop-ups now tell me that my account is full and it will no longer be able to backup items. I would like to go in and delete items that I do not need to make room, but I can't! I have personally gone into the Apple genius store and presented the problem as well as called Apple support and talked with a live person. And no one has been able to help me. I cannot believe that I have basically lost my iCloud accessibility? I have a lot of money vested in music and priceless pictures! Please can someone help me?

I don't know what you mean by "closed" - icloud accounts stay in existence even if you disconnect all devices from the account. You can't delete them.
If you don't recall the ID or the password, and if the link above doesn't provide another way to get to the account, then you are out of luck.

What can I do? I've forgotten my password and dont remember the answers to my sercurity questions, and no longer have access to the email account i used for backup. How do I get my icloud password reset?

Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your account'. You will be able to change the non-Apple email address you use as a login. You will then need to log out and in again on all your devices.

My husband and I are divorcing and we have used his apple ID for our 2 apple tv's. He changed his password and now I no longer have access to the 300 or more movies, tv shows and music. He keeps telling me that , there is no way for us both to have it. So, since his Apple ID was the one programmed into our Apple TV's he has custody to everything. I know there has to be a solution for this, because I can't be the be the only person this has ever happened too!

Unfortunately the situation is thus...
