Remote management under Sharing will not allow me to add admin user

I have just imaged my iMac lab to Lion. I am using Apple Remote Desktop 3.5. (I have used it for several years and know how to set it up and use it.) The problem I am having is adding my admin account to the list of users that are allowed remote management through sharing in system preferences.
The user list shows every other account, but will not show my admin account. I have imaged labs each year and have never experienced this issue. Not sure where to go from here. I am able to log in to each of the systems using the missing admin account but can't add that user to authorize remote management as it isn't listed. The sytems have recently been updated to 10.7.4.
For example, I have these accounts:
Me (admin)
User 1
User 2
User 3
User 4
When I go to system prefs>sharing>remote manage and click the Add to authorize only certain users, I only see User's 1-4. The admin account isn't listed...even if I am not currently logged into that account.
*I have just updated to ARD 3.6.

I can add "Administrators" under Remote Login just not Remote Management.

We have three computers in the house--2 crashed before I could deauthorize home sharing. Now, with my new MacAir, the total computers in our household is 3 but home sharing will not allow me to add the other device.

We have three computers in the house (iMac, MacAir and the new MacAir I just received) in addition to 2 iPhones and 2 iPads. 2 Macbook Pros are no longer in use (both crashed before home sharing could be deauthorized) but now I have reached my maximum device allowance (5), even though only 2 computers are currently active. How can I reset the authorized computer numbers?

You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
Open iTunes on a computer
From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.

Why is it that when I delete a song off my 4th generation I touch it will not allow me to add it again. I manage my music manually (no syncing). I can add a new song, but as soon as I delete it on my I touch, I can't put it back on.

I never heard of that problem before. I I can suggest is the stand fixes:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Will not allow me to change a user password

Okay this is a little different. This has gotten me a little puzzled and I am hoping someone with some knowledge about File Vault etc can help.
I have this machine where there is a user name and a password (that we can't remember) with File Vault turned on. We know the master password however the master password will not allow us to change the users password.
We have tried changing the Master Password to ensure that the password is not the issue and that was successful. We tried using the Master Password to try and change another user account (not with File Vault turned on) and it gives us no problems.
I have tried changing the password in System preferences and I get an error message CSSMERRCODE_MEMORYERROR. I tried going to the login screen letting the login attempts time out where it asks for the master password, then it prompts me to reset the password. No matter what I put in the "new" and "verify" (yes they both match) the screen just shakes and won't let me go any further.
I have repaired the permissions and tried resetting the password with the Leopard DVD and also came across no luck. Because the User has File Vault turned on I can not even back up the data so I just delete the account and re-create the user!
I am really stuck here and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay strangely enough, I tried to reset the password back. We had an old File Vault password that we changed to the current one and then changed again during this process. So taking what you said, I reset the Master password to the original one we had a long time ago. It did not allow us to change the password. However when I changed it back to the one we had changed it to a second time, it wouldn't let me change it at the login screen but it allowed me to change it in the Account Management under System Preferences.
So it is fixed. Needless to say I disabled File Vault and it will never be used again! Thank you for your reply it definitely helped me resolve this issue.

"my ipod was linked to another computer when i downloaded itunes onto my lap top it will not allow me to add songs to ipod mini without deleting all the songs can any body give me a simple remedy(ipod is linked to anotheritunes library do you wish to link to this library)?"
After you click "no" to that message, use one of the suggestions here to get the music from your iPod back to iTunes.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.
Once you are sure that the music is safely back in iTunes (and not before), you can click "yes" to that message, associate the iPod with your new iTunes installation and start using the iPod and iTunes as normal.

Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'

Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'. Being using it fine up until today! Created over 80 words so far for subtitles but for some reason it wont allow me today!!!

Dave
Thanks for the follow up. Interesting result.
What is the specific Music Score that you used in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Mac Soundtrack that was limiting you in the number of words that could be included as text in the project's opened Titler?
Please confirm
a. Working in Expert workspace or Quick workspace?
and
b. Was the 12.1 Update in effect before and after you observed that the Music Score soundtrack removal resolved the issue of number of words limit in the Titler?
and
c. Did the Titler problem exist if you replace the Music Score soundtrack with a non Music Score music file?
and
d. If you moved the Music Score soundtrack to one of the numbered Audio Tracks, did the Titler problem exist?
If you have no Music Score soundtrack in the project, create your title of 80 plus words in the Titler, close the Titler, and then bring the Music
Score soundtrack to the project's Soundtrack, does that strategy work for you?
The above information will help me to think about what happened in your case and give me more insight into how to prevent it happening to
you in future projects.
Thanks.

Ios 8.3 will not allow me to add a contact to group message

ios 8.3 will not allow me to add a contact to group message. When I touch "Details" on a group message (says "Group MMS" at the top), THERE IS NO OPTION TO ADD CONTACT. Why not? iPhone 6.

I had tried that previously with no results. So, I changed the password with the provider. Next I resubmitted the ID and password, ignoring the Yahoo button, but instead choosing the Other button. It was successful. Sometimes it's necessary to change the playing field, rather than put up with the potholes. Thanks for your help.

HT201320 my vip will not allow me to add contacts. Suggestions?

vip will not allow me to add contacts. Suggestions?

If you open your Contacts app and do a search on that newly added contact, does it NOT appear?
Try doing a device reboot and see if the contacts appears after. Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

IDVD will not allow me to add chapter markers

When I made my iPhotos into an iMovie and then sent it via Media Browser to iDVD, it will not allow me to add chapter markers and there are no buttons visible for play movie or scene selection. I am using iDVD 7.0.3.

After you place chapter markers within iMovie, you don't want to use the "Share to iDVD" option... Instead, click on the Share to QT (or media browser) option. Next, within iDVD, insert your movie file from the media browser section of iDVD, and all your chapters would be recognized correctly by iDVD. When you directly share to iDVD, it creates an auto-play movie, so you don't get to see the menu, until the movie plays completely.
Two bugs exist with iDVD: one, if you change your movie later, iDVD fails to update the chapter markers correctly. Second, you can no longer use your mouse to change the static images for the chapters (Another poster on this forum discovered a workaround for this using arrow keys instead - pretty ingenious find!)

Opened ical and all my events were erased and all my calendar accounts were gone and it will not allow me to add new events or new accounts

I opened my ical and all my events had been erased and all my claendar accounts were gone and it will not allow me to add new events or accounts.

Hi John,
Thanks so much for wading in. I did exactly what you suggested - glad you gave me the hint about how to access my library files. There was only one document that seemed to have anything to do with cache, and that was called Calendar Cache. (I've attached a screen capture of all the files incase I should have deleted something else as well.) I deleted Calendar Cache then restarted iCal, but after updating I was still unable to add new events.
Is there anything else you can suggest?
Thanks again,
Susan

Hi, I have just purchased a new Macbook Pro. Whenever I try and buy anything on the internet (via Safari) on any website it will not allow me to add products to checkout. Has anyone else experienced this problem or can suggest a fix? Many thanks!

My iMovie will not allow me to add transions

My iMovie will not allow me to add any more transions, don't have that many in there, but says now I have an error. Any suggestions?

What does the error say?
Turn off "Show Audio Volumes" and "Show Wave Forms"
Depending on the transition, you will need to highlight both clips affected by the transition.

My PC crashed. My music was all recovered from my iPod, but my shuffle will not allow me to add/delete music.

My PC crashed. My music was all recovered from my iPod, but my shuffle will not allow me to add/delete music. I was considering restoring my shuffle, but how can I without deleting all music in my iTunes? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Restoring the iPod won't delete the content of the iTunes library. Back it up anyway.

iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

I updated Firefox 2 the newest free version and my bookmarks were lost. It will not allow me to add bookmarks either.

When I updated firefox none of my bookmarks were kept and it will not allow me to post any bookmarks. I get a message saying an error occurred try again later. I use Vista as my OS.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
