Regular users lost Internet after upgrade

After I installed 2007.05 and inmediately upgraded to 2007.08, I found that regular users were not able to log into the internet. As usual, regular users are members of the wheel, optical, audio and users groups.
What gives?
Thanks in advance.

The wheel group is normally used to give users root rights, a regular user should NOT have root rights.
wheel=root rights? Rights like what? I've always added myself to wheel for over a year now and I've never had such rights...

Completely lost internet after upgrade over 10.7.4, Mac Mini

Hi Everyone,
I've upgraded from 10.7.4 on a Mac Mini bought late last year i5 2.3 GHz, 500GB HDD to 10.8.2.
I've now completely lost the internet.
My FreeNAS box started disconnecting intermitently and today, after a reboot, I cannot connect to the internet.
I've tried turning everything off, pluging the mac directly into the router, uninstalled tons of software, checked the console error logs, checked a few things via terminal and connect find any logical explanation. I've even swapped routers and cables with known working devices in the household.
At one point, I had two mobile accounts set on my home network with Windows Home Server 2008 R2 but these were not so active prior to the upgrade and I've checked settings here.
I consider myself good at network with most parts of the network set to LAGG except the Mini.
I'm really stumped.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm actually wondering if I've got a hardware defect and it's just bad timing with the update.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm keen to try things out but will be phoning Apple tomorrow.

Right, I've found the solution. I completely binned my 'SystemConfiguration' folder from the Library/Preferences and now it works.
What an absolute pain. Lost all my settings but can get back on the internet.
Got no idea what caused it and maybe I'll route through the folder to see what stopped it from working. It was working perfectly fine on Lion, every since purchase date.

Cannot access internet after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4

cannot access internet after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4.

ok here is the issue.
After i upgraded the IOS to IOS 6.1.2 I'm not able to use mobile internet as i have a data sim card.
As the settings provided by the service provider are not compatible with IOS 6.1.2 and the service provider cannot do anything about it, as it's something that has to be ressolved by apple.

Problems connecting to the internet after Upgrade from windows 8.1 pro

Cant connect to the internet after upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, what can i do to rectify this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
You can also try to install the older version in compatible mode:
Windows 8.1 Wifi showing "limited" or "No Internet Access"
Solution: revert your network adapter driver back to an older version
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dennis_schnell/archive/2013/08/31/windows-8-1-wifi-showing-quot-limitied-quot-or-quot-no-internet-access-quot.aspx
In addition, disable power management on your network driver:
Open Network and Sharing Center.
Click the Change adapter settings link in the upper left of the navigation pane.
Right click the network connection you want to enable/disable power management support on and click Properties .
Click Configure .
On the Power Management tab, clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
If the issue still persists, please upload the event log for our research:

Lost 2GB after upgrading to mavericks

Seems that I need to ask Apple to credit part of my new MacBook AIR purchase ! I lost 2GB after upgrading to Mavericks. Used to be at over 6GB of RAM after booting before running my apps, now I come to the same point at 4GB !! Anyone else have the same issue. I changed nothing else !

normal, RAM USE CHANGED in Mavericks to make it better
Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently for good reason. Normal
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/12/compressed-memory-in-os-x-109-maverick s-aims-to-free-ram-extend-battery-life
Mavericks uses RAM much more efficiently than any other previous version of OS X. Mavericks now has a memory compression feature that will compress the memory occupied by applications that aren't being actively used and give the freed up RAM to the application that needs it the most.
Memory Pressure graph that tells you how stressed is the system in terms of memory.

Original user profile destroyed after upgrade to version 3.6.13

After upgrade to 3.6.13 en-US from ?? (maybe ?3.4.???, but I do not remember well; I really did not expect problems) all the history and bookmarks were lost.
I searched for them in Profiles directory, but there was only a new profile with "new template" data.
I installed the new version like an "admin" user (to have it available for all users "for sure").
The installation seemed to detect previous version of Firefox as it detected its istallation directory (and it had not offered the possibility to change the installation directory) and it detected that many extensions are do not have compatible versions.
Before the installation I had beed experiencing crashes when running Firefox like me (user "marek"; power-user) before. It was possible to workaround it by running Firefox as "admin" user (ugly and unsafe, I know) which I was doing for more than a year. Firefox worked than quite good, it installed its updates, etc.
Of course, I checked the admin user profile, it was overwritten by a "new" one.
Moreover, I had been cleaning the Temporary Internet Files and History of IE (IE7; done from IE); but I did not expect it could be related.

It looks like you have the latest version of Firefox. 
Maybe that message referring to Plugins? 
You do have at least 3 Plugins that are old, Java is very old.
See this page for more information.

Can't connect to internet after upgrading to 9.2 in windows7

After upgrading to itunes9.2, internet connectivity is lost. I must do a system restore to recover. I get an ip stack error of some kind. I would stay in itunes9.1 except that I have an Iphone 4 coming. any suggestions?

Fingers crossed, the Apple Engineers are getting closer to working out what the underlying issue is.
Good gracious. After checking my inbox further, I see Roy has posted a query over in the main thread on the issue:
Does anyone affected by this issue have Audials software installed? Some of the software packages are: AudialsOne, Radiotracker, Tunebite, Mediaraptor, and AudialsMobile.
Apologies for the nosy question, mikey, but do you have any of that software install on the PC in question?

Painfully slow internet after upgrading to Snow Leopard

hi all, i recently upgraded to Slow leopard.
My internet has soon become painfully slow, taking (literally) minutes to load pages. I have checked my modem & router, they seem to be fine as my iPhone & Vista laptop run perfectly on the same network.
does anybody know what this could be?

If you have not done so since upgrading to Snow Leopard, you should run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk Permissions+.
Have you used Software Update to apply Apple's latest updates after upgrading to Snow Leopard. If there are updates, you should run it a second time to ensure there were no dependent updates.
As a test, you can create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try the things that caused the problems. Is it fast in the new account, or is it the same? If it is fast, then the cause is likely to be in your normal user account. If it is the same, then the cause is likely to be with the overall system (the OS).
You can also try doing a Safe Mode startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
This will do some maintenance during startup and also load only Apple's essential system extensions and processes. Any third party software you have installed will not automatically run. Check the performance while in safe mode, and if there is improvement, restart normally to see if the problem comes back or not.

Lost messages after upgrade to Tiger

After upgrading to Tiger I seem to have lost the messages in my main Inbox that were sent to my main email address. All the other mailboxes where I filtered mail to seem intact.
I backed up data to a separate firewire drive before I installed the new OS, including the Mail folder in Library... I can see the other mailboxes, but have not been able to locate the main Inbox or find and import the mail that is missing. Did Panther store it somewhere else??
I've looked at your support topics, but I'm still baffled.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
In particular, you may want to take a look at the following article (also referenced in that thread) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON’T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problems:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn’t need to have an .mbox extension.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
6. Move any strangely-named Messages-XXXXXX folder to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn’t work as expected. If you’ve been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
8. Open Mail.
9. The account’s Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that’s not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that’s on the Desktop. Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move to the account’s Inbox the messages that Mail failed to convert properly, and delete those that did get through and, hence, are duplicates now.
The following collection of AppleScripts has a Remove Duplicates script that can be useful for removing duplicate messages:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
If all is well and you’re not missing anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Lost Internet after firmware update!

I have use this router some years, and I have no problem, then I have made an Firmware update, and now sometimes I have lost internet, not connection but only Internet. Can I get a default firmware or where is problem?

I have also had problems connecting to the internet
I upgraded my WRT54G version 2 router's firmware to 4.21.1 last week, taking the opportunity to upgrade after the area I live in suffered a temporary power cut, which somehow caused my router settings to reset, even though the router was not switched on at the time.
Since upgrading I can connect wirelessly to the router, but I cannot access the internet via wireless. I am using exactly the same settings as I did before the upgrade and also made a backup of these settings after the upgrade, but every day I attempt to connect wirelessly I lose my net access again (but by restoring the backup settings - the very same settings already held by the router - I regain my net access, but then the next day I have to repeat the whole process.
Yesterday I tried disabling the wireless security, which allowed me to access the net again, but soon as the security is re-enabled, the problem reoccurs.
I have a laptop, a desktop and 2 PS3s connecting wirelessly via the router and have had no problem with any of them until this upgrade. I have just reapplied my wireless settings & will try again tomorrow and will attempt using a wired connection and post an update as soon as i'm done.

User account missing after upgrade to Yosemite?

I have a mid-2010 iMac which up until recently I had two user accounts on for general use and one for music (Garageband, Logic and audio files etc). After upgrading to Yosemite, this separate user has vanished. I'm left with my original admin account, and a guest login. If I search for any of the files using spotlight, they do show up, but if I try to open them I get the message "you do not have permission to open this document". Also I had folders on the desktop of the music account which contained files, these folders show up in a search but are listed as empty? The files themselves are 'blank white sheet' icons as if they have no application.
I would assume this is a lost cause if not for the fact that my hard drive (more than half of which was taken up by the 'music' user) still reads as pretty much full up. So have I wiped all this forever?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

retina MacBookPro mid2012. Clean install of OS X Yosemite 10.10
I'm randomly missing an account at login screen after reboot.
Sometimes I can fix it with booting into my initial account 'Kevin' (userid 501) and then changing to different login 'Christina' (userid 502).
But if I log out from my account, the second account is missing. Same if I do a reboot.. This have me in stitches as I ofcause has the need for privacy from each account.
Both accounts are set up as admins, guest is deactivated.
rMBP 16gb sep2012.
userid 501:
home directory: /Users/Kevin
userid 502:
home directory: /Users/Christina
apart from that... I have loads of problems with Bluetooth, and hand-off only working 1 way (5s with 8.1) where only iOS -> OS X works, not vice-versa.

User Management problem after upgrade of SAP DB/Database Studio

Hi,
after upgrading SAP DB to 7.8.02.21 and Database Studio to the same version (this is on Windows 7 64 bit professional) I experience that starting DB Studio as a normal user fails with a message regarding not being able to execute (?) User Management. To start the program I have to run it as administrator. Once I do this it will, afterwards, work fine for a normal user, too, but only for one day (or possibly one logon to Windows 7).
(The error message does not even contain a hint to that solution)
In previous versions it was necessary to run DB Studio once (after installation) as an adminstrator. After that it would work all the same for normal users.
Is there a way to fix this? The desired behaviour being the one from previous versions that after one administrator run it can be started by my normal Windows user? It's, of course, not serious and I do know a workaround, but it's a bit annoying nonetheless.
(And yes, I do know that Windows 7 is not an officially supported platform. I'm just shyly asking).
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
due to the changes in the security concept in Windows 7 it's now required to be admin when you want to start or stop a service or to create 'global objects' like the shared memory files that are used to communicate between DBM-client, server and database kernel.
Since the user management of MaxDB Studio actually is just a small MaxDB instance, the service for this must be running.
To start the service and to create the shared memory the admin privilege is necessary on Windows 7.
What you may do is to flag the dbstudio.exe as "execute as administrator" - that will give you a pop-up warning every time you run the program but it will work.
I assume that is the workaround that you're already using and it's the one I use as well.
AFAIK the colleagues in Berlin are working on a version that doesn't require a MaxDB instance for local user management - that should remove this kind of problem as well.
regards,
Lars

I2nd Gen Ipod touch lost songs after upgrading to IOS 4.2.1.

I have 2nd Gen Ipod touch and after upgrading to IOS 4.2.1, all the music were wiped out and I can't seem to upload or sync it anymore. Tried all the fixes out there in the web to no avail. Appreciate the help.

I am having the same problem. I tried using a backup from two months ago, all of my music and apps are lost. However, my iPod DOES remember my settings for the default apps, and my contacts are still there! Tried any fix I could find to no avail, would certainly appreciate any advice!
