Remember to disable root if you had to use the workarounds

Many many people have had to "enable" root to restore admininstration priviledges or reset an account password.
Please remember to "disable" root after you have restored your systems functionality.
Disabling root can be accomplished by using /Applications/Utilities/Directory Utility - Edit Menu
or for the commmand line crowd 'dsenableroot' can be used - see the man page for more details.
Having a running system on the internet with "root" enabled is less secure since "root" is a well known user name.

The way to do this from the command line is to run the following (substituting your information in place of the filler text):
dsenableroot -d -u ADMINUSERNAME -p ADMIN_PASSWORD
This will provide a message back along the lines of "Successfully disabled root user."
As the previous post mentioned, running "man dsenableroot" on the command line will show you more information about this utility.

  • HT201272 I have always had and used the same Apple ID, so where are the rest of the songs I bought from itunes? I've bought at least 400 songs and I only am being able to download 178. Where are the rest of my purchases?!

    I have always had and used the same Apple ID. I have changed credit card information on my Apple ID account several times though. Does that make a difference when downloading past purchases? I'm very angry at Apple and Itunes because I have been using itunes since 05/2005 and I do not have even close to the amount of songs and albums that I have purchased from itunes. If the credit card info does make a difference even though the account is the same one then itunes needs to make sure to notify users of this because I am not the only one who is wondering this same thing. I have numerous friends who i've talked to about this and they say the same thing, that they too have songs purchased in the past that have disappeared when trying to download past purchased items. It should not make a difference. $12 is $12. Especially since I have ALWAYS used the same account. If itunes does not change their ways, I will not be purchasing songs or anything else for that matter from them ever again. I will go back to buying CDs where I KNOW that it will always be with me and I don't have to deal with this. I will also make sure to find a better more reliable source to download music from and will make sure everyone I know and come in contact with knows what it is and how much better it is than itunes. There should be no experation date on the music I PURCHASE, nor should there be any other little loop holes that allow itunes to rob us of rightfully purchased products. What's the deal itunes??

    So I basically won't run into any trouble? I
    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
    Unlikely. But nothing is impossible.   Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

  • 2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

    Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

    Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

    Hello Mac4541,
    It sounds like you may have reinstalled OS X on your 2008 MacBook and iPhoto didn't get installed.
    Given the specifications of your unit, iPhoto may be on a separate install DVD.

  • Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?

    Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?
    What if you are on a trip and forgot your Ipod. It would be great to be able to add lost data. or even edit the Ipod data on the Nike + website

    Hi Hrbrmstr,
    That will be very cool if you can create an xml file
    that will allow us to add runs and edit runs on the
    Nike+ site! The trick may be getting past the server
    dragon which sends out a warning saying, "Your
    workout data could not be sent to nikeplus.com
    because the data could not be accepted by the server"
    when it does not like the data it is sent.
    For example, my runs that did not post had something
    in common: when I read these xml files with TextEdit,
    both have a line that says,
    "<stepCounts><walkBegin>0</walkBegin>". There's also
    a line that tracks steps run. It also said zero. Of
    course, these lines should NOT read zero, because I
    was not starting at zero steps! My guess is that this
    anomaly makes the Nike+ server either reject or
    delete these runs because the step count does not fit
    my other runs.
    Well, I'll leave this stuff to someone who knows more
    than I. Glad you're here.
    For jackt123, the longer is answer to your question
    is that certain things that are not doable now may be
    doable in the future. Stay tuned.
    I just got the dragon today. "Your workout data could not be sent to Nikeplus because iTunes received an unexpected response from the server. Please try again later." Did you ever find out why this happened to you? I went on nikeplus and it did in fact upload my latest run. Now my goals are blank on nikeplus.

  • My problem is a sudden loss of ability to get to PSE12 Organizer when I tried to load a saved scan. Had been using the Organizer and the Editor with no problems for several hours just before that.     Can not load the Organizer from the icon at the bottom

    My problem is a sudden loss of ability to get to PSE12 Organizer when I tried to load a saved scan. Had been using the Organizer and the Editor with no problems for several hours just before that.  
    Can not load the Organizer from the icon at the bottom of  Editor screen, from the icon on the MacBook Air dock (OS 10.10.2),  nor from the file in applications located with Finder.
    I have tried without success to access Organizer after turning off and on the scanner, turning off and on the computer, loading a fresh copy of PSE12 from the CD, and restoring default preferences.  I have searched on line for other options but not  found any. 
    Can you help me?

  • I am running out of hard drive space so I clear 32GB of space at midnight, went to bed. When I wokle up I had no space left even though I had not used the computer, the system.lg is FULL of stuff and I have no HD space anymore? What's eating it up?

    What's eating it up?

    WORD TO THE WISE
    the OmniDiskSweeper was a very helpful download, because it laid out the HD and all the files on it in a "largest to smallest" fashion. When I did this I found that I had an inordinate amount of memory being taken up in my Mail Data folder, this did not make much sense so when I dug deeper I found that a 59MB scanned file that I had emailed 3 weeks ago had not been delivered, so the computer was retrying every minute and saving the history of what it was doing, so it was saving the 59MB file as well as the log about the 59MB file and hence for the last 3 weeks it's been chewing away at HD space recording the activity of the undeliverable file.
    I deleted the Data record folders and removed the yahoo account from My Mail and reinstalled it with proper IMAP information and the HD is secure and holding at 331GB of free space. Like it ought to be.
    I love the fact that if something very strange is happpening on your MAC there is a REASON....find it and fix it, and move on. In the PC world you would reboot 20 times, call some guy in India who will ony try to sell you a new subscription or warranty for $99 and never solve anything.
    I am at rest once more, thanks for the tip

  • Are you allowed to use the buttons underwater

    Hey so i was taking some photos underwater with my REPLACED sony xperia z3 tablet compact and pressing the volume rocker i realized some bubbles...  Only after pressing it,  i didnt make a big deal out of it since the tablet was already in the water few times for over 15 minutes without a problem. However this time was different...  After taking the tablet out of water the camera had condensation. I opened all flaps took out the sd and sim but what i see is that its bone dry and all marks are white. What my question is,  if the camera starts to condensate does it only mean that the water entered a little bit? And are you allowed to use the keys underwater because the z phones have the dedicated camera key to use underwater idk about the tablets tho.

    Oops thats the z3 forum not z3 tablet.  My mistake. If any mods see this,  please move this to the Sony Xperia z3 tablet compact forum section 

  • 'You Are Not Using The Correct Type of Phone Cord' Error

    Having a issue with my fax on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless.  Tried to send a fax, it  received a send error.  I ran fax test and it came back with "You are not using the correct type of phone cord".  Nothing has changed since I last fax'd but I check the lines and connection, everything appears ok.  Phone jack is connected to 1-line and Officejet '2-ext' is connected to the phone.  I use a dedicated phone # and the Officejet is set to auto answer.   I can call out and receive calls on the phone connect to the Officejet.  My assumption is that since I can use the phone without issue there is nothing wrong with the phone line.  Any ideas?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I was having the same problem.  I'm using a the 2 wire phone cord provided with the printer and still getting this error.  Turns out that it related to have a phone extension plugged into the printer.  If I unplug the telephone form the extension jack on the back of the printer, then the fax test passes.   I was even using a 2 wire cord on the phone extension but it seems that simply having a telephone plugged into the extension jack will cause this error. 
    Run the test without a telephone plugged into the printer's extension jack and you should be fine.
    Worked for me!

  • Backbeat 906 - do you have to use the adaptor?

    I've just purchased the Altec Lansing Backbeat 906, which is just charging up right now (so I haven't been able to use it).
    What the instructions don't make clear is whether you have to use the adaptor or not? There is a section on pairing the headset with your phone, followed by a section on pairing the headset with the adaptor. Do I have to do both?
    Also, in the troubleshooting section, it says that you actually need to pair the headset with the adaptor before pairing with the phone (i.e. the opposite way round to what the instructions suggest).
    Can someone clear this up?

    Sorry, but please clarify:
    So you can not only use the telephone options, but also listen to music via the iPod functonality of iPhone without the dongle right?
    Thx & Rgds
