Setup Stuck At Creating User Account Screen

I created a Mavericks USB flash drive and booted from it, wiped the hard drive and am doing a fresh install. Everything goes fine until I set up the first user account. Once I click "Continue" it just hangs there.
I've tried this three times now. Second attempt I rebooted and it recovered to that screen, but it made me enter different information because the original acount had been created, but it never got past the "creating..." screen.
The third attempt I reformatted and reinstalled the OS, but still got stuck at that screen.
Any ideas?

How did you reformat again after getting hung up on the "Creating Account"? I could never get back to the (or a) screen to reformat... I just took that advice and created yet another account and bypassed the login, etc. and then once at the desktop, I rebooted holding down Option/Alt so that I could start over. I even tried booting from my 'old faithful' GParted disc, but no joy, no matter what I did, I was presented with the Welcome screen for account setup.
I am currently installing Mavericks after my second reformat and will report back how it goes. I would have liked to been able to avoid going all the way through the setup just so that I could reboot into setup...

IMac initail setup hangs when creating user account picture.

I just purchased a brand new Imac. When I attempt to create my initail user account I am asked if I want to take a new picture for this user account.
The Imac then hangs when I click on the check box to take a picture. Can someone please advise me on this procedure?

It should work, but either skip that part for now, or better yet...
If 10.7.0 or later...

Access Denied creating user accounts through vba

Hello,
I have a MS-Access application that runs on a Windows 2012 server. My customer logs into the server using RDP. The MS-Access application is started up automatically by means of the environment variable in the user settings. The customer needs to be able
to create new windows users for this application, simply by clicking a button.
The VBA script to create users works, because when I start up the MS-Access application with my own logged on Administrators account, the new users get created. If my customer tries it, he gets 'Access Denied' error. I have added his user account to
the Power Users group, but that did not solve the problem. I also tried to make him member of the DCOM Users Group, the 'Access Denied' error remains...
I do not want to give him administrator priviliges, because he is 'just a customer'...
What do I need to do for this setup to work? I tried altering some DCom settings, but frankly I do not have enough knowledge to feel comfortable with this. Hope anybody can help me out here...
best regards, Rob

Is this a standalone server? Only administrators can create user accounts, so there is no work around for that. You could look at something that has the administrator account/password stored and launch PSEXEC or something else in an elevated session behind
the scenes but that is a security volunerability because the credentials are stored.
If the account is being created in an Active Directory environment you could delegate permissions to the appropriate OU for your customer.

Can't get past "Create an Account" screen

I just got my iMac back from the apple store and had my seagate hdd replaced. They lost my keyboard and trackpad in the process and replaced them with brand new ones. Now im stuck at the create an account screen as I cant pair the keyboard/trackpad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello:
Probably the fastest way to fix the problem would be to call the Apple store.

Transferring data from my time machine after system software update, but my computer seems to be stuck on "create your account"

Have just been uploading snow leopard as the pre step to getting lion and have been transferring data from my time machine, but my computer seems to be stuck on "create your account"

I found a solution!
Perhaps this is just temporary, but I have my display up and working again.
Although the symptoms are different were a bit different, the solution here worked:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/120259/grey-screen-after-login-blue-scr een-of-death-from-cmdr
As I was able to connect to my HD via an external monitor, in the finder, I went to:
1. Macintosh HD --> System --> Library --> Extensions
2. From there I moved all of the files that started with ADM and ATI (19 in total for me) to a folder on my desktop. (You will need to enter your admin password for this)
3. Next was a restart.
4. Then my display started working again.
5. After that, I transferred the files back into my Extensions folder.
6. I then did another restart with my fingers crossed and breath held. It worked.
Also... During the last few days of trying to find a fix, I restored a Mavericks backup to my computer away from Yosemite.
I'm very sure this problem occurred when I put my MBP to sleep, disconnected the power in its sleep, while something was connected to a USB port and unplugging the USB device (for me an iPhone charger) while the MBP was closed.
I hope this helps the next person.

Creating user accounts with OIDDAS and use them from the OS

Hi,
I have a customer that is experiencing an error creating user accounts from OIDDAS, and use that user accounts from the operating system.
My customer is using OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.2.0, and that version is not longer available to download, then, I will try in my own environment
with OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.3.0.
And the question is the following: is supported to create user accounts with OIDDAS and expect that users can work with OAS4OS and be
able to authenticate in the operating system?
For the reference, SR# 7222351.993:
Thanks,

Hi Jacco,
I didn't see your post before.
Nop, unfortulately I don't have a document with that. I just received that answer
from development (related to the plugin for AD that is not certified, and DAS is
not intended to work with OAS4OS).
Anyway, about the plugin to work with AD, this is working for me; at least I tested
it by configuring the plugin, I configured synchronization, the mapping file, I did
the bootstrap, and the accounts that were bootstraped now shows the OS attributes
on DAS.

Creating User Accounts So I Can Set Parental Controls?

My nine year old son loves to use YouTube to watch video game videos and apparently there are NO parental controls or any kind of filters on YouTube. The majority of the ones he finds are ok but there's about 15% that are just plain shocking even to me. Its pretty sad the things that people put up there. I hate to have him never be able to get online again so I want to set some sort of filter where I can block content according to keyword but I just cant figure it out at all. So I tried to set controls over the whole MacBook but it tells me that as administrator I cannot. I cant figure out how to create non-admin users though. Searched all the forums and guides, etc. but no answer.
Thanks, so in summary, I just want to know how to create user accounts if thats the right term.
I am using a MacBook, running Mac OSX version 10.4.11.

Hi
Apple menu (top left hand corner) > System Preferences > Accounts. Click the lock to authenticate. Just above the lock are two icons; a 'plus' and 'minus'. Click the 'plus' icon. Enter the name of your son, tab down into the next field and that should autofill for you with the information you placed in the name field; tab down again and enter a password; tab again to key in the password again; don't tick the box that says "allow user to administer this computer"; click 'Create Account'. You should be prompted with a window asking if you want to leave automatic login on or if you want to turn it off - turn it off. You'll see why later on. What you should see after this has finished is in the left hand window at the top your account details with your name and underneath it should 'Admin' and below your account details will be your son's. Underneath his name it should say 'Standard'.
Click on his name to select it and now click on the Parental Controls tab on the right hand side of that window. You should now have the option to enable and configure control for the 5 applications listed there: Mail, Finder & System, iChat, Safari and Dictionary. Explore and configure to your hearts content from there. When you are happy quit out of System Preferences and select Log out from the Apple Menu. You should now be presented with the Login Window displaying not only your account but also the newly created one for your son. Log in s your son and test to see if what you've set as a control has worked. Keep going backwards and forwards between the two accounts until you are happy.
Bear in mind there is only so much you can do.
It's virtually impossible to block everything potentially morally harmful without basically stopping your son from having any access at all. You could look at supplementing Parental Controls with the built-in filters in your router - if you have one? If you don't then consider getting one. I'm struggling to think of a router for residential use that does not have some sort of built-in web filter?
The tab button is the key immediately to the left of the 'Q' key. It will have an arrow going from left to right printed on it.

What do you use to create user accounts?

I have used Passenger to create my school's user accounts in the past. Since upgrading to Mavericks Server 3 I can't import the user accounts from Passenger. Does anyone know of a program that will create user accounts for 10.9?

I downloaded the Passenger 4.2 beta and was able to export a user list that included passwords that I could import into Workgroup Manager 10.9. The format of the export file has changed for 10.9.

Suspect Adobe ARM creating user account

Hello
I was helping a user with a problem about 2 days ago. The problem is that everytime Windows reboots the netbook shows a newly created User Account called icsokern.
The user has a Samsung netbook, Windows 7 Starter & Service Pack 1 as well as ESET AV.
Trying to delete the account doesn't make any difference as the account is recreated after a reboot. However, securing the account I put in a password as well as changed the login time access to 0. When I try to change the applications that the user account can access I see only Adobe ARM as ticked. No other application is ticked. This leads me to believe that Adobe ARM could be creating this account, but there is no logical explanation why?
Checking for a malware reveals no alerts. No quarantined files and Windows' Event Viewer shows no alerts regarding system or application errors.
Having said the above I decided to ask on the Adobe forum to see if anyone else has had this experience and if so what did they do to fix this?
w

Latest Adobe ARM installs task in the Windows Task Scheduler.
If you see this task, can you try to disable it and check if new User account gets created?
If new account no longer created after task is disabled, you can conclude that Task Scheduler does it for some reason, which will need to be investigated.

PC locks up at select user account screen

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I built my new pc over a month ago. I've been able to tease out all new pc teething issues except this.
After I boot up my pc, it runs through bootup, without any problems up until the user account screen, where it then locks up. After I hit the reset switch, it then boots up normally. I've tried removing and reinstalling the Audigy drivers. It locks up even when the drivers were removed, so I don't think it's the soundcard.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Here's my System
A64 4000+(newcastle)
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
2x512Mb OCZ DDR PC-3700 466MHz Gold Edition, Rev. 3
Audigy 2 (SB0240)
Gainward 2400 (6800GT) GS
Running WindowsXP SP2

I know this may sound silly, or has nothing to do with the problem.
But have you tried installing Win Xp with sp1 only? My friends tried using sp2 on his comp and when he got to the login screen it went blank on him and wouldnt respond.
Good luck.

in the child domain i can create a user account using the root domain.
i want to stop this. i want the IT Department there create users for there domain only?
thanks

Hi Ashraf,
Your query is not clear. Do you want to restrict enterprise administrators from creating user accounts in child domain?
By default, Enterprise Admins group is part of Builtin Administrators group in the child domain.
When child domain is introduced, by default Enterprise Admins group is added to Child Domain\Administrators group (Builtin local Security group).

Setup assistant for 10.3.9 - can't complete process to create user account

After much searching, I find myself still looking for a solution and hope that someone here might be able to help me.
I just purchased a used iBook G3 (white), 800 mhz. The seller did a complete reinstall of OS X 10.3.9.
I turned the laptop on for the first time, the movie/setup assistant appeared, and I began to enter the requested information. So far so good. However, once I reached the "Create Your Account" page.... I entered my desired password and it won't let me go past that point. (If I hit Tab after entering my password hint, it just cycles back to the 'Name' field.) I cannot select a user picture/icon (in fact, no pictures appear at all) and the "continue" button at the bottom of the page is grayed out so I can't proceed.
I am completely baffled. What could be causing this problem and how can I fix it? I want to play with my new toy. I have gone through the previous pages and looked at the information entered, and I can't see anything that could present a problem. Restarting didn't help either. And to answer the question someone is bound to ask... no, I don't have the install disks. (The seller installed the OS.)
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide!

One of the choices to consider would be to get retail OS X install disc(s)
of your own so you can go back and totally reinstall and test a System.
This may involve more than it seems; and the computer should have
included some OS X or other system software. The original software set
which shipped with the computer, including the Apple Hardware Test, as
a bare minimum. Since the computer itself could support Tiger 10.4.11,
if properly upgraded (RAM and adequate capacity hard disk drive) and
that system is less obsolete than Panther 10.3.9, you may have to get it.
{Sometimes, depending on the chosen password, if characters not valid
to be used in a password are put into the window-box, they may not work.
However most numbers, and common letters are safe bets; as are random
choices using combinations so long as they don't contain incorrect ones.}
If you are in contact with the seller of that computer, perhaps you could
deal with them in regard to this odd matter; and see about getting a set
of installer discs for the computer. Was the seller a retailer, or private?
New computers shipped with adequate software to run, test & repair them
and the discs included at that time were intended to accompany the Mac.
Also, an installation without the discs is not a legal installation. The best
tool to find out what's going on would be the retail installer disc, and the
original Apple Hardware Test for the specific computer model. Harder to get.
Good luck & happy computing!
