Single User: Does My User Name HAVE to be "Home"?

Thanks to Roam's help I've now got just the one user on my MacBook (at last!).
I read somewhere that you have to have at least one User Name set as "Home" to avoid certain problems.
Is that correct? I'd prefer to set my User name as "Steve" (purely for aesthetic reasons)
(Short name is already set as "Steve")
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the feedback. BTW, since you're a newcomer to the Mac, peruse Switching from Windows to Mac OS X and Basic Tutorials on using a Mac.

Why does my volume name have -1 suffixe ?

Hi ... Why does my volume name have a «-1» suffixe ?

If it finds a similar name on the network, it will add that.
Also, if a drive gets "lost," that will happen. The original mount point still exists, so when it is remounted, it has to create a new mount point.
If you Go to the Computer in the Go menu, do you see one with and one without the -1?

Using a single user name for RADIUS

I have a WLAN with 5 1200 Series AP (A/G) configured for Fast Roaming using the Cisco supplied documentation. Can I use one user name for all of my devices to connect to the Internal Radius Server? This would be similar to having a passphrase for WPA. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Chris:
I understood you have autonoomus/standalone APs wiht WDS (Wireless Domain Server) configured for FSR. right?
You can use same username from multiple devices if your Radius does not prohipit more than one session per username.
Make sure that your RADIUS server allows multiple sessions for the user you want to use and it should work.
Note please that using same username with multuple users is not the same of using PSK (talking from security perspective). using 802.1x is usually more secure.

Instant Message User Names have Codepage Problems

Hi,
We're using NW 70 SPS13 Portal System and using RTC. But when we use Instant Message program, users Name and Surname displayed normally, but have character problems. Here we're using Turkish Characters in Name/Surname's and they're displayed incorrect on chat windows although they're displayed correct on LaunchPad.

We too (with russian characters).
Our typing with SAP:
We: We have characters problem with displaying user Names in chat window (NW 70 SPS12 Portal System)
SAP: Can you please check if the issue is reproducible when the user has no
special characters in his name ? You can simply create a new user with no special characters and check
this.
We: No, when we using english characters in user Name/Surname, they displays properly in the chat window.
SAP: Please check if the following Java Arguments are included in SAPJ2EE. If not, please add the following Java Arguments to your server and restart the Server after that. Edit the services.ini (located under ..:\SAP_J2EEngine6.20\configtool) or start the SAPJ2EE Application Server > Tools > Config Tool.
o -Dhtmlb.useUTF8=X
o -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1
If you want to support non-latin characters in Filesystem based Repositories you have to set the same encoding as used for the UNIX Filesystem (For Example if you want to support special charaters such as 'umlaute' and japanese characters you can use):
o -Dfile.encoding=UTF8
o -Dcm.decode=X
We: Thanks for your reply but problem remains. Now i have added following java parameters to my server node:
-Dhtmlb.useUTF8=X
-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
and view of characters in user Name/Surname has changed to some trash.

Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?, Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?

I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since this past October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didnt seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Winston,
Thank you for the information. He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device. This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple.
--Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
--He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
--He has an iPhone 4
Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work? Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour?

Admin User Name doesn't match Home Folder name

I did this to myself and now can't undo it. Just bought a MBP and ran thru the initial set up, which included naming my home folder. Then used Migration Assistant to bring all my stuff over from my old G4 PB. The home folder on the two computers had the same names, so Migration Asst wouldn't let me continue. I created a second folder with a new name on the MBP, migrated everything into it, made it an administrative user, then completely deleted the first folder (I think).
Now when I go into the User panel of System Preferences I only see the second folder, but when I go to the finder, the home folder has the name of the first user and it has no data in it. Terminal still opens to the name I deleted as well.
Is there a fix for this or do I need to use brute force (insert the Disc that came with the MBP and boot from it, wipe the hard drive clean, re-install the OS and bring it all to life from the Time Machine backup which I, fortunately, have created)?

Now have two empty users and no idea where my data went. Time to break out the install DVD and start again. At least I'll get to do a custom install and leave out all the foreign language support and printer drivers.

Network Users - Can't login without home folder

Hey everyone,
Got a problem. We upgraded our lab from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3. Preserving our settings and bootcamp by simply upgrading. After getting nearly all machines sorted out with active directory we are still having a problem with 2-3 machines with network user accounts being able to login. If no local home folder has been created prior to upgrading to 10.9.3 then the user cannot login, the login prompt dissapears then re-appears. Any way to fix this?
Here is a run down of the set-up.
Our settings force network users to have a local home folder on the local mac that they are logging into.
Mac OS X server is 10.6.8.
Active directory server is 2012 R2.
Network users without a pre-created home folder on the local mac prior to upgrade cannot login. The login prompt dissapears, then re-appears. No login.
Computers are managed with workgroup manager, as well as apple remote desktop. But no settings are applied, and no login scripts are being run.
Also I have noticed something concerning Mac OS X 10.8.5 and up. And that is in the active directory settings, if you bind to a domain (using active directory and not LDAP), lets say for example:
mydistrict.maindistrict.net
And you go to add your local active directory district to the Authentication/Contacts search policy eg: Active Directory/mydistrict.maindistrict.net
it will only show: Active Directory/mydistrict/alldomains.maindistrict.net.
It shows a list of all domains for the forest. But it also adds the district that you bound to as the search directory?
Let me use a precise example using actual names.
Bind to local district: pineville.ketsds.net
Now in search policy on 10.8.5 up to 10.9.3 it displays possible search domains like this:
Active Directory/PINEVILLE/pineville.ketsds.net <- The domain we want.
Active Directory/PINEVILLE/all-other-domains-in-forest.ketsds.net <--Which is fine.
Which is all fine, but when we select the local domain for authentication, and contacts search it adds it, but in the overview it says that it is not in our search policy even though it is.
On Mac OS X versions below this (10.6.8 and down, cannot verify for 10.7 as we do not have systems with it) it displays the search domains as:
Active Directory/pineville.ketsds.net
as compared to this on 10.8.5 and above:
Active Directory/PINEVILLE/pineville.ketsds.net
as well as all the other domains, and when you add the local to the search policy it does not give the error that it is not in your search policy. Is there anyway to make this happen on 10.8.5 and above? We have tried everything. Network accounts will login even though it says this, it is just annoying.
Last question is on one computer that we upgraded, we had a problem with the network accounts. Tried deleting the .plist for network preferences, and the Directory services folder as well as the Open directory folder and now it create the open directory folder as locked and any changes made with the directory utility in the search policy is immediatley reverted once we hit apply.
Summary of questions:
1.) Network users cannot login without local folder created prior to upgrade.
2.) Mac OS X 10.8.5 and above does not correctly add Authentication/Contact search policy domains as it does in 10.6.8 and below.
3.) Active Directory/Open Directory Authentication/Contact search policy settings keey reverting after applying. (Happened prior to deleting .plist files and AD/OD folders in /Library/Preferences)
Thanks guys, sorry if thi post is so long! :/

Not sure what the bump policy is but my post is fadiing fast. Third page already.
Kind of an urgent situation guys, any help or insight at all would be greatly appreciated!!

Does Firefox have a feature like the software named Robo-form, where like if you wanted to go to your gmail, you could click on one thing, and not have to inter user name and password every single time?

Some times in Firefox I see pop ups where Firefox is allowing you to make Firefox remember a password or some such thing like that.
I want to go to an account or web site where I have already registered, type in my user name and password and then before I log in, have Firefox remember my log in information, so that in the future I could go to a folder let's say, that has a list, and just click on the one item, spending less time logging in at places.
Is this something Firefox does, or do I have to say, use a software like Robo-form?

TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password. This started yesterday. I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address. This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail. I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

I fixed the problem. I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password. No more pop-ups

I would like to purchase Contribute. We currently do not have any of the creative suites or Contribute. How much does it cost to just get the single user for Adobe Contribute CS5? And how do I purchase that?

I think it's just a little over $200 if you don't have an older version to upgrade. Around $100 if you do.
You can get it at www.adobe.com/products/contribute.html.
Click the "buy" button (top right of the page) then select "full" next to where it says "I want to buy". Add it to your cart (at that point you should get the exact price).

Installing a single license copy of OS X on multiple machines is a violation of the license you agree to abide by when installing OS X and is illegal, regardless of whether or not doing so is easy or possible.
