Sharing Only accounts disappear from Account Preference pane

I am trying to setup a 'sharing only' user for the purpose of having a user that can access files via ftp and only have read access to certain folders I specify (and it's subfolders). After I have set up a sharing only user and I come back into the Account Preference pane at a later time, that user is no longer listed in the left-hand column. Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and provide steps to prevent it from doing so in the future?
Many thanks!

I'm having a similar problem. In my case, I upgraded from an old computer running Mac OS 10.4.11 to a new one running 10.6.4. The old one had share only accounts set up (by SharePoint), and Migration Assistant transferred them over.
All but one showed up in the Account preference pane. I decided to delete the others but that other account still shows up in the Log In window.
It sounds like the same underlying problem. Any ideas to help us both out?

ICloud account disappears from Mail preferences

In Mail preferences my iCloud account didn't seem to be working so I deleted it, logged into iCloud, selected 'Mail and Notes' and the Mail account was recreated. After signing out of iCloud the account disappeared from Mail preferences. Why?

So, then, do you recommend that I remain "signed in" to iCloud all the time on both my desktop and my laptop so that the iCloud account always appears in the Mail application? Or should I "sign in" to iCloud periodically to see if I have mail in my iCloud account or, alternatively, access mail in the iCloud account through iCloud.com?
The old MobileMe mail account was always present in the Mail application unlike the iCloud mail account.

.mac account disappeared from my iPhone

Two odd things happened this past week - maybe at the same time, although I can't be sure.
1) My .mac account disappeared from my iPhone. My POP3 account remains.
2) On my laptop, in Apple Mail, three new mailboxes for the .mac account suddenly appeared under "On My Mac": Deleted, Junk and Sent. They never used to be under "On My Mac", so I'm wondering if this is somehow related to the .mac account disappearing from my iPhone.
I still get mail to the .mac account on my laptop, and it still shows up online when I go to the .mac website.
Should I just go ahead and try to add the .mac account back onto my iPhone or is this likely something more complicated?

Hello, did you resolve this? It's happening to my .Mac/ iPhone now. I've only recently set up my .mac account, and it's now disappeared off the iPhone twice in the 2 days I've had the email account.
any help would be much apperciated,
Regards

How to get Code Combination Range (Account Range From - Account Range To)

Hi,
I have a requirement that I need to get the range of code of combinations based on the parameter (Account Range From & Account Range To) in the query. Please could anyone help how to fetch this value based on the parameter.
Account Range From (7 Segments)
XXX
AAAA
BBBB
CCC
000
YYY
ZZZZ
Account Range To (7 Segments)
XXX
AAAA
BBBB
CCC
000
YYY
ZZZZ
These is the example of value which I will be getting on the Accounting Range From and Accounting Range. Based on this account range, I need to pull records from the GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS table. Any help on this plz?
Thanks,
Geno

I would not use the code_combination_id. That code_combinaition_id is incremented by one for each new account, so unless you happened to create all your accounts in the right sequential order (not likely), then you cannot do a range of FROM code id a TO code id b. Do an SQL against the code combinations table and sort on the segments columns and take a look at the code combination id on each row, and I think you will see that they jump around quite a bit. I think you can only rely on using the segment columns values for doing an account range.

Launching Acrobat 9 from system preference pane

How do you launch new Acrobat 9 from System Preference pane? Message comes up "FMCore stopped. Start from System Preference pane, then relaunch. Illustrator does the same thing.

Update your Extensis Suitcase with the latest version. Check on their website. It's not an Acrobat or Illustrator problem.

SMB File Sharing only works for Admin Accounts???

I'm using a mac mini as a small file server. It will share files to WindowsPCs using SMB but there is a problem.
On the Option dialog where you select accounts to share files and folders using SMB only Admin accounts show up. This is far from ideal as I'd prefer to using Sharing Only or Standard accounts.
Is this a known issue? Is there a solution?

What permissions are you setting on the share? My guess is you are only using user, group, and other (POSIX). You need to add an ACL to the list and then set read/write or full control.

.mac account disappears from Mac mail

Often I will go to my Mail app and the .Mac Account is no longer displayed. If I quit mail and reopen, it and its folders stored there at .Mac will be displayed.

My wife has a sub-account on our MM family pack subscription and had this issue: occasionally mail on her iPhone would appear briefly in the iPhone inbox, then disappear from the list. It never showed up in Mail.app at all. (I have the master account on this family pack and haven't had this issue… knock on wood.)
I was also a recipient on some of those mails -- but if I forwarded them to her she still didn't get them. I had to copy the text out of the messages and paste into a new mail. That worked. So it seems there's something in the mail header (perhaps?) that causes this… yet the mails have not all been from the same person / address. In fact, mail from person "A" might do this disappearing thing today, yet mail from the same person "A" might work fine tomorrow. It's that sort of multi-variable, intermittent problem that's very hard to pin down.
I tried changing her password -- to guarantee that only her known clients were logging in (no lurking POP mail readers that she'd forgotten about). No effect. Then I tried turning off her junk filters, both local and online at MobileMe (thinking maybe some rule was out of control -- deleting random messages, rather than filing them as junk). No effect (other than a lot of complaints from her about junk in her inbox, of course).
Finally, she suggested that maybe it had to do with MM push services -- since it only happens on the iPhone, not on her Mac. We turned off push on her iPhone and voila! It seems to have fixed the issue.
I haven't found anyone else who's connected this with data push on the iPhone. I'd be interested if other folks who try this as a solution would see if it works for them and post results here.

How do I fix it when an e-mail account disappears from the left panel of the main interface (with inbox of another account on right)..

I recently added two accounts to Thunderbird and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Today I was using one of the new accounts and wanted to change to my old Edurostream account. But it was nowhere to be found. The new accounts and another old account are there. If I go to "accounts" Edurostream is still there, but there is no way I know of to get from there to the inbox for that account. There is no error message. I am using the latest version of Thunderbird (24.6)

If you have all your emails going to Local folders, this sounds like you have a Global Inbox for the pop mail account.
You can check this here:
Tools > Account settings > Server Settings for the mail account.
click on 'Advanced' button.
Is this selected?
'Inbox for a different account' and 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)'
Global Inbox accounts do not show the mail account name in the Folder Pane as it does not use those folders.
See info on Global Inbox account:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Global_Inbox
If you remove the account, the emails will remain in Local Folders.
If you change the settings as described above to point to 'Inbox for this servers account (also see image below - words may be a bit different as not an image of latest version), then you will see the mail account in the Folder Pane with it's own set of folders. New mail will go to those folders, but old mail will remain in Local Folders.

User account not highlighted in preference pane, can't delete

After using Migration Assistant to populate a new PB, I now have 2 admin accounts. After consolodating files, I am unable to delete the one that I don't need, but as it's not highlighted in the System Users/Groups Preference pane, a simple deletion doesn't work. I dragged its User folder to the trash and restarted, but the account won't go away. What am I missing?

As Zlig already said, make sure:
A). You're not logged into the account you're wanting to delete;
B). You have the padlock unlocked at the bottom left of System Preferences

All mail accounts disappeared from mail

Today, I can not get any mail from my mail accounts becaue no accounts are listed. I migrated to iCloud, but it didn't do any good. Mail.app is now useless and I have no way to send or receive email. What the **** do I do now????

OK, I have solved it by using the instructions posted here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
However, now that my @mac.com account has gone from my Mail.app, I can't get at any past mail that was listed by the thousands in the inbox under [email protected]
Is there any way that I can migrate all the mail that was listed under @mac.com to the @me.com iCloud account? If I enable the @mac.com account I can see the list, but Mail app keeps trying to download mail from a that server that no longer exists and ties things up.
Anybody?

Money disappeared from account

I have iTunes(version 4&7) on two computers. When I went to purchase a song on the version 4 iTunes, it wouldn't let me purchase it because I had to upgrade to a newer version of iTunes. After I presses cancelled, and opened iTunes again the money from my account dropped from $15.75 to $4.84, the same amount as on my other computer. I have had iTunes on both of these computers for a long time, and never have the money in the two accounts matched before. Plus the money in the accounts were from two different gift cards. How can I get the money back or who should I contact? Thank You

First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift. It sort of sounds like you have two different accounts in the iTunes Store, but now have both computers logged into the same account. If you are sure you're using the correct account, try logging out of the account and back in.
If logging out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, send a message to the iTunes Store customer service department through the form at the bottom of their Gift Card FAQ web page and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

Username 'disappeared' from System Preferences List

System is a MAC Mini with 8GB of memory and 250GB SSD with a 4TB Pegasus R4 subsystem. It is running Mavericks 10.9.4 and Server 3.1.2. A month or so ago one of its non-admin users disappeared from the System Preferences User list and from the server app's Users list. The user is unable to connect to the server. When I tried to recreate the user I was told that the shortname is already in use. Changing the name of the folder in /Users doesn't change anything.
I need to either regain access to the username or delete the username so I can create it again.
Can anyone help me?

The following command will output a list of local users. Is the one in question included?
dscl . -list /Users

Import Settings have disappeared from Advanced Preferences Tab!

I'm running Windows XP and the submenus have all disappeared from the Edit->Preferences->Advanced menu.
Any suggestions? Other than Apple test new software before releasing it?

Have found the answer to my query.
My default setting was "Custom" and this is what was showing in the pull-down menu when "Import Settings" was clicked.
Now realise that you have to select another setting first, High or Higher Quality and then select Custom AGAIN to get the change/edit dialogue box for whatever mode you wish to import with.
