Migration assistant and 2nd user account

Yesterday I set up my new Mac Mini and used Migration Assistant to transfer files from my PC to my new Mac.
I can't now access the files as a 2nd user, as I am being prompted for a password. I can't remember setting a password for a 2nd user account. If I did it would be the same as my Administrators account.
Any suggestions on how I can access the 2nd user account?
I presume I will later on be able to transfer files from 2nd user account to my Mac account and then delete the 2nd user account.
I am a new Mac user.

From the main account on your Mac, the one you are now signed into, open a Finder window and go to the Users folder and right click on that second user account. Select Get Info from the list that comes up. When that opens scroll down to the bottom and click the small Lock icon and type in your Admin password. Once the lock icon is open click on the Plus ( + ) sign and add your current username, the one you are now logged into to the list for Sharing & Permissions and then give it both Read & Write access. Then on the icon with the little gear and downward facing triangle click that and select Apply to Enclosed items. That will propagate those permission down to all folders and files in that second user account.
you should then be able to access all the folders in that second user account and copy those files over to your main account. Once you have done that you can go into User & Groups in System Preferences and delete, remove, that second account.

I'm unable to grant full access to 2nd user account. What am I missing

While our MacBook Pro is out for repairs, I need a way to process my wife's emails and other business. So I'm trying to set up a 2nd user account for my wife on our iMac (running 10.7.5 Lion). Unfortunately, every step I've tried has failed to grant permission for her account to access the iMac desktop or launch applications other than Safari.
Here's what I've tried:
1. I created an account with my wife's name and password under Users & Groups in System Preferences.
2. In her Users & Groups account, I granted her Adminstrator privileges.
3. In the Sharing folder in System Preferences, I selected all the folders except those labeled "remote" and "xgrid" (whatever that is). I granted Read & Write privileges for each one. These included two Desktop folders, and I added the folder for Applications.
4. I made sure File Sharing was turned on, along with Printer Sharing, Web Sharing, Screen Sharing, Internet Sharing, etc.
5. Under Sharing Options, I noted a checkmark in the box labeled "Share files and folders using AFP", although the "number of users connected" was 0. I left that alone.
6. Because several sharing choices were listed as "blocked by firewall," I turned the Firewall setting off.
Despite all this, when I log in as my wife, I cannot launch any major applications except Safari, whether from the Dock or Applications folder. In fact, most of the apps in the folder are grayed out. And when I try to access the Desktop, Other Files, and various other folders, I receive a message that her account "does not have permission to see the contents." Why not? What have I overlooked?
This is becoming an urgent problem, because there's business that must be conducted. I have had similar problems with the iMac from the start, when it refused to accept me as the rightful owner of files that were transferred from our older Mac Pro dwesktop. Yikes!
Any help on this will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

How do I share music in 2nd user account?

I have had so much trouble with itunes 7.3 that I went back to 7.2. But I still can't burn, it just keeps looking like it's burning but never does and never finishes. . So, I want to try burning in a 2nd user account I created. I know I need to move a folder ? a itunes folder to the shared folder. I just need more info on all what's involved. I thought I read it somewhere at this website, but where? A frustated mac user. mmmmm.... Your help appriceiated.

I option dragged the 47 GB itunes folder to the shared folder. I then loged into the 2nd account , opened itunes, opened preferences, set the library to shared folde, itunes. Now what. No music is showing. Is there something else I need to do? This is not the first time I opened itunes in this 2nd account. I did so prior to this switch.
I am so, so frustrated with this iTunes 7.3 screwing up my burning, artwork and who knows what else. 2 + months of ****.
One thing I should mention, I have tried to burn in safe mode, still no luck. mmmm.
My next question is going to be , if I back up the music folder with the songs only, then trash every darn thing I can find thats iTunes, Then reinstall 7.2, then drag the backed up iTunes music song folder into iTunes, thus reimporting them, will it work? Will it have the song names and other info?
Or would I be seeing song # 1 thru 1,600 without names?
Thanks.

Difference Between Database Schema and Database User Account ??

First i would like to know what an Oracle Database schema exactly is ?
And what is it for and also What is it's use ?
Later the exact "Difference Between Database Schema and Database User Account".
I googled about it but i'm unable to find out it's The difference,
Please try to explain in a simple manner........
Thank you very Much in Advance..........

Greate example. but i would like add one more point..
a user is a schema and schema is a user. but when this applies to the user that he become a schema, only if he has got some objects. so we can say while creating the user which dosent contain any objects called simple user account but afterwords when he has got an objects then we can say its a schema as the above user has shown you through the exampleIt is just word-play. There is nothing in like a 'status' indicator to say "USER_A is just a user but USER_B has become a schema". Many people use the terms "user" and "schema" interchangeably, and some very good DBAs will insist this is correct. I don't disagree with them even though I usually try to make the distinction.
In a typical application, all of the objects (tables, procedures, etc) that implement the app will be owned by a "application schema owner" - a user which exists for the sole purpose of owning the schema. Said user will have no privileges at all .. especially not CREATE SESSION. Except for possible maintenance activity no one ever actually connects as this user. User accounts are then given to actual humans who connect with their own accounts. The accounts have the necessary system and object privileges granted to them - via a role. One could also create a special account (let's call it APP_ADMIN) that is used for maintenance and batch operations within the application.

Difference between ACS Administrator account and ACS user account?

Does an ACS administrator by default have full rights to every device it manages?
I thought ACS administator accounts and user accounts were different.
I have an acs admin account called admin_1. then i created another user account called admin_1 (for switch/router access)
when i set the password for admin_1(user accounts), when i tried to login into the switch it wouldn't take. It would only take the password set for the ACS admin account.
Is this by design?

My understanding was that this is not the case, Ive just tested my installation again to make double sure and the user accounts and the admin accounts are clearly seperated
The RADIUS server does not make use of the Admin user database.

Forms Authentication Error: User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed

I created a custom security extension following the steps listed in the Readme_Security Extension Sample. It works fine if I login as the user that is specified AdminConfiguration section of the rsreportserver.config file but if I
log in as another user, I get this error: User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed. I've added the user to both System Administrator
and System User roles to try to get it to work but still no luck.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi MetronM,
The issue is due to that user have no permission to access the report server. In report manager, Reporting Services includes predefined roles that we can assign to users and groups to provide immediate access to a report server. Each role defines a collection
of related tasks.
You can refer to the following steps to assign corresponding role to the user.
Open report manager.
Click “Folder Setting” button.
Click “New Role Assignment” icon.
Type the user name and select the corresponding role.
There is an article about Granting Permissions on a Native Mode Report Server, you can refer to it.

Programs "quit unexpectedly" for third and fourth user accounts

I have set up 3 additional user accounts for my children, all with managed usage. The admin account and first additional user account works just fine. The third account and any additional others all shortly encounter "application quit unexpectedly" errors for Mail and the Big Bang Game applications.
Why do these apps not work for these users, but work fine for the first two??

Please post a Safari crash report.

OSX Lion I do not have full screen option for Safari for any user accounts

In my iMac I have three user accounts plus the guest account. For all accounts exept the guest account Safari do not show the full screen icon or give the option from the menu. Does some one have the same problem and does someone know how to get this feature. PS! I have upgraded to LION!

It's pretty simple to create your own Full Screen keyboard shortcut. Here is what I did and it works perfectly:
1. System Preferences
2. Keyboard
3. Keyboard Shortcuts tab
4. Application Shortcuts
5. Click + symbol at bottom or right box and select All Applications
6. Set Menu Title for Enter Full Screen & Set Keyboard Shortcut for Control + Command + F click Add
7. Repeat Step 5
8. Set Menu Title for Exit Full Screen & Set Keyboard Shortcut for Control + Command + F click Add
9. Exit System Preferences and use the new keyboard shortcuts on all apps that have Full Screen capabilities.

10.5.8 Safari in new user accounts is asking for session password

Hi,
Since I upgrade the server to 10.5.8, Safari is asking for session password (login.keychain) when a user first log in and goes on the web. Deleting the login.keychain on the server template doesn't help much since Safari is complaining that there is no keychain and ask to rebuild it.
If I try to reinitialize the keychain in the user account, I must enter the _template password_.
How can I get Leopard to create a new login.keychain for Safari everytime a new user login?
Funny I did not get this problem in 10.5.7
Actually, should I just get rid of Safari and force everybody to use Firefox to avoid future problem? As a tech, I met very few issues with Firefox compare to Safari.
Thanks

Was able to solved this issue by creating home folder for the user from WGM.

Problem with iTunes and multiple user accounts in Windows

I am running iTunes on a PC (Windows XP) and have multiple user accounts. When I switch between user accounts and try to open iTunes, I get a message that tells me I can't open the program because another user is using it. Is it really true that I can only have iTunes open in one user account at a time on a PC with multiple user accounts ?!? If not, what am I doing wrong?

You are right, can only have one open. You have to log out of a user before logging in to another user to use iTunes. Do not use the fast user switching ability of Windows.

Problem with Photoshop and Corrupt User Account

This morning when I attempted to save a document I was working on in Photoshop CS3, the application suddenly crashed. Since then, I have not been able to reopen Photoshop without it quitting unexpectedly within seconds of launch. Never had this happen before. I tried rebooting, resetting the PRAM, fixing disk permissions, repairing the disk, rebuilding the directory with DiskWarrior, trashing Photoshop's preference files and reinstalling the program with no change. None of the other apps on my computer seem affected, only Photoshop.
What did make a difference was creating a new user account. While logged in to the new account, Photoshop launches fine and I can work in it with no problem. I also have a Carbon Copy Cloner backup of my boot drive (which I've failed to keep up to date - it's a few months old) and Photoshop works fine from there (if I boot from the clone).
So it seems that my primary user account has become corrupted. What I'm wondering is if (1), I can "repair" my old User Account or (2), if I should move all my user files to the new User Account (and the best way to do that) or (3), if I should try and update the clone of my hard drive without transferring any of the User Account or possible OS corruption to it and then wipe my primary drive clean (after I've tested the clone) and reclone the clone back to the primary.
Thanks for reading.

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

How to use iPhoto with 1 photo library and 2 user accounts on 1 iMac ?

Title says it all.
I don't want to have a double picture library, it takes enough space from my harddisk already.
My wife and I share the same camera too. We want to see the same pictures when using iPhoto.
Possible solution: Do I have to make a softlink from 1 user account to the photo lib that belongs to the other account ? [in Terminal: ln /Users/.... etc.)
(Yes, I'm an ex-Linux user)
Thnx
Fred4711

If you want to have the same data, do you need separate accounts? A surprising number of people think that must have separate ccounts and they really don't need to.
Anyway:
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Two ipods and two user accounts

I have my 5th gen ipod and my girlfriend has a 4th gen.
We both have our own user account and library on my XP machine.
I've upgraded to itunes 7.
My ipod updatesfrom itunes, apart from problems disconnecting from itunes (i haven't upgraded my firmware)
When my girlfriend tries to update her ipod, it tells her that it may be corupted and we should update the firmware.
After all the horror stories in here i thought i'd ask if anyone had done this successfully.
Thanks

what's the precise wording of that error message, Darlo? there's a bunch of different-but-similarly-worded ones.
