SOME ISSUES - Partition, Permissions, User Accounts

I have a new I MAC and a Power Book G4 Imac is running snow leopard and PowerBook leopard... in the Imac I have partition the HD but realized that the bootable disk is too small.... not sure what to do now or how to restore to the original size or increase size and or delete one partition to give more space... Also these new partitions they are not accessible in FINDER under DEVICES...
In these new IMac have more than one user account but want regardless of the user to be able to access any file (can I switch the USER files to another partition?)
Thanks all...

Aha!  I deleted /var/folders/CO folder, and tried running TweetDeck again, and AIR installer finished and all is running now.
Might I suggest for future reference that all /var/folders sub-folders be backed up and deleted when having AIR troubles.
12 months of frustration finally resolved.
WOW!

  • SSAS issue with Domain user account

    Hi
    I have SSAS 2008 R2 set up running on Windows Server 2012 Standard.
    The server is registered as a part of domain.
    I have had an issue of domain user accounts accessing to a cube and it's starting to get worse. There has been no problem with a local user account (I set up a few for testing purpose). 
    I ran the role report from BIDS Helper and it finds all the domain user accounts invalid. 
    It looks like SSAS is not talking well with the domain server (Windows 2003 server standard) to verify user credentials. But the thing is that everyone is ok with the domain server except for SSAS. IT does not have a clue what's going on here and everything
    is just pointing at me right now.
    I'd like to know if there is anyway to monitor that communication between SSAS and domain server for user credential verification and any guideline on how to resolve it. Most of time, it just works again..  like 10 minitues later.. it resolves by itself.
    But this time, not!!!
    All I know is that 1. Registering the server as a part of domain 2. use domain user account to set the security. 
    MY IT department has set up network monitoring tool and says that they are 100% percent working (No connection loss. It's monitoring Active directory as well). The application installed is 'ManageEngine Applications Manager' 
    I don't know what to do here. 
    P.S Will it be related something like 'Error
    while Add user to SSAS Server - The trust relationship between the primary domain and the trusted domain failed' but it's all the domain accounts including mine are not working.
    Cheers!!!

    First check your DNS servers setting on the server you have SSAS installed. You should only use the IP addresses of the DNS servers (e.g. Domain Controllers) of your domain. Active Directory relies on proper DNS server settings. Adding public DNS servers,
    even if they are on the bottom of the list, will mess up name resolving Active Directory names. This should have been done when IT had provisioned the server. Same goes for own workstation if you run your development/management software not on the server.
    Second make sure SSAS is running under a service account that has access to Active Directory. This can be either a domain account, the local system account, or the network service account. Running SSAS under a local account or the local service account will
    not work because local accounts do not have access to Active Directory. Running SSAS under either a Managed Service Account or a Virtual Account will not work because those features require the domain at least the Windows Server 2008 R2 functional
    level.
    Third make sure the account you use to log on to SSAS is a domain account and has appropriate permissions in SQL Server and SSAS. Local accounts and SQL Server account do not have access to Active Directory

  • Application Issues after deleting user account

    I have an imac with several user accounts setup. two of the accounts are admin.
    User1 Admin
    User2 Admin
    sysadmin Admin
    User3 User
    User4 User
    User5 User
    User6 User
    User1 purchased a new macbook pro and we migrated all of her docs and applications to the macbook pro. after seeing that everything was working well, we deleted her old account on the imac from the "System Preferences/Accounts" tab from User2's account.
    Here's the issue:
    Now when User2 tries to install or update applications, the system responds with a permissions error message. You do not have sufficient permissions to modify this application's settings. We also run into stange errors while just using some applications
    Most applications on the machine were installed by User1 before deleting the account. Did sysadmin inherit ownership of applications and library settings of User1 upon deletion?
    Is there anyway to change the settings for all applications to allow User2 (admin group) to update and install applications? Could I just change the ownership group for sysadmin directories to admin with Read & Write?
    Thanks,
    LeoK

    Exactly what did you do to remove your old account? I hope you didn't just drag it to the Trash. If so then you don't have an account because dragging the old Home folder to the Trash is not how you remove an account.
    You say you "edited" a new account. How did you do this?

  • 3G having issues with my User Account

    My iPhone 3G will not connect to my user account in iTunes. It gives a bogus error that is apparently (per Apple) a "time out error for PC's"
    Upon creating a new user account on my Mac the iPhone connects just fine to the new accounts iTunes. Is there any way I can find out what is corrupt in my user account creating this issue? I do not want to have to delete my account. I have done an archive and reinstall, reinstalled iTunes 7.7, restored the phone, it isn't the cord, and it connects in other computers/accounts just fine.
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance

  • In some site collections old user accounts are not replacing after stsadm migrateuser

    Hi,
       When running stsadm migrate user that actually not replacing the old account for some users in the site collection. Any idea please?

    I got the reason, I needed to run the migrate user command in concerned farm. As that was the consuming farm so I was under impression that I needed to run the command in the publishing farm only. But that is not the case.

  • Basic clicking issue in specific user accounts, very strange.

    Very recently my 2011 15" Macbook Pro is unresponsive to many normal click functions: so far this has included: playing a song in itunes (i mean literally clicking on a song as I've done 1000's of times and getting no playback), trying to blow up a photo in iphoto from a group of photos, or even opening an application from the Application folder.  These are all basic one click or double click functions)  However, opening apps from the Dock is fine, I can even Drag an application down from finder to the dock and it will open just fine.  Internet Apps like Firefox, which I am using to type this work completely normally.  To add another level of mystery, I tried creating a new user and everything seems to work fine in that account...what does it all mean?...life?

  • Network dive map issue for particular user account.

    Hi,
    My one of the user want to access network drive.  But when he logoff or restart the system, he lost the map drive.
    He is a domain user. He already have few map drive in his profile.  But now he need to map one more network drive. And special requirement is he want to access that map drive from any system from our organization. And that drive should not
    get disconnect/dismount after he logoff or restart the system. 
    Note:  User XYZ wants to access particular map network drive form any system, where he login in domain. And
    no other user should be able to see or access that particular map drive.  
    Also if user XYZ logoff or reboot the own system, Then when next time he will login again from any system, he must be able to see and access that particular
    map drive.
    How do i configure this....Please help.
    Regards,
    Santosh Pawar 

    Hi,
    Using Group Policy Preferences to Map Drives could meet your requirement. It based on group membership.
    About how to get it, please refer to this guide:

  • Corrupted User Account

    I recently made the mistake of installing office 2008. Somehow after I did this my one and only user account was corrupted. This causes word in particular to crash every time I try to insert a bullet.
    After talking to the clowns a MS they tell me this is because my user account has become corrupted! and that I need to breate a new one and migrate everything across.
    I have not been able to find a help doc on this topic so was wondering if anyone knows how I can to this
    I am running leppoard

    I sure would appreciate some help to resolve this issue of corrupt user accounts. The problem is quite separate from corrupt software preferences. Here's my situation: Microsoft Excel v.X crashed after several hours of use last night. It has refused to relaunch. Same with Word and Entourage. I've restarted, I've purged all the related preferences, I've uninstalled Office using Microsoft's removal tool, and I've repaired permissions... all without success.
    However, when I log in as a different user, Office works normally. Very weird. Somebody out there must understand these mysteries and know just how to fix it. Either I must find a way to repair my user account, it seems to me, or a way to completely migrate all my extensive workspace to a different user account.
    Please help!

  • Can I Create a New User Account and Move Existing Account ???

    Lion was reinstal.
    I'm suspecting issue with one user account.
    Can I creat a new user account and move all my files to that new user?
    What are the impact?
    How about permissons on this files?
    What about the Library Folder?
    Thank you for your help and support.
    BigBlaze

    This should help you out after  you have created the new user account. You are trying to make it much more complex than it needs to be. Just follow the directions in:

  • Acrobat 8 Pro crashing on an OD/AD user account?

    I'm doing some testing on a client mac (24", 2.16, 10.4.9). The user account is Active Directory who authenticates via Open Directory on a Mac OS X Server (10.4.9). The user account is set up as an Administrator
    We recently installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, but it crashes constantly, within about a minute of launching. We tested it on Local user accounts and encountered no errors whatsoever. The end user called Adobe support and was told to call Apple. Clearly there is some issue here because the account authenticates against a server.
    Any ideas? Web search didn't yield any solid answers. The only suggestion I've found so far was to do a permission fix, which I did, but that didn't have any effect and problem continues.
    Thanks

    is the home directory a local or on the server?

  • IMovie works in Test account but not in main user account

    I have been having issues with iMovie such as lag time and trailers not playing back properly in preview mode. I created a new user account to see if it was isolated to my own user and sure enough the problems went away and iMovie is working smoothly.
    So what could be causing the issue on my user account? I tried to usual suspects: repair permissions, delete preferences, etc., but nothing helped.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this issue? I can't figure out why it would work on a test account but not on my main account.
    Thanks!

  • User Account problem - bounce's back to Login screen

    Here's a new one for ya. My 24" iMac (OSX 10.6.2) will allow login on some but not all user accounts. I currently have 5 different user accounts on my iMac (we are a family of 5). No problems ever with logging in until SL upgrade. Now 2 of the 5 user accounts act strange. When you click an account everything appears fine, then you see a quick flash of blue screen and you return to the main user account/login screen. I can select any of the 3 other accounts and everything works as it should. I repaired permissions and that didn't help. Any ideas?

    In System Preferences > Accounts, for each account you can assign "login items".
    These will start automatically when the account logs in. If there is something that
    is not compatible with Snow Leopard, it may be causing problems.
    Easiest thing to do to verify this is to remove them.
    You will need administrator access to the accounts panel to make the change.

  • Can I move my Keychain to a new user account?

    I've been having a few annoying little problems that I believe may be caused by some problem in my User Account that I don't know how to fix.  I want to create a new user account, but I want to import my Keychain (and Address book) into the new account (I couldn't have logged into this site without my Keychain!) 
    Can this be done?
    (Because it might be asked, the problems I've been having with this account are: any time the "Media Brownser" button is touched in MS Office, the Office app crashes [Office Support Communities says it's a problem with my user account] and other apps can't seem to add contextual menu items [Dropbox, Google Notifyer].)

    I have previously confirmed that the errors are isolated to my user account by creating a new account.  I've not been able to find a way to repair whatever it is that's wrong with my original account.
    My hope was that there was a way to "restore" the keychain to a new account that would be duplicative of the old one, perhaps by deleting the old account, creating one that's identical (but empty) then restoring items to it selectively.

  • Mavericks upgrade from Mountain Lion deletes all user accounts

    This is a lesson for upgrading too early (and too eagerly).
    Today I tried the Mavericks upgrade from Mountain Lion on my 2007 Macbook Pro, after going through all the pre-installation/pre-upgrade checklists.
    I don't think I have gone from a very high to a down low in such a short space of time.  I really wanted to move on from Mountain Lion and when the installer finished the upgrade to Mavericks and re-started my MBP, I was super excited.  When the restart completed and I was presented with the login prompt, I tried entering my user name and password.  First time, it shaked on the password... OK, you'd think that is a typo.  Re-entering the password... same thing.
    You can imagine what ensued.  After entering my password v-e-r-y slowly many times, I started realising that something went very VERY wrong.
    Just for information, I used two different user accounts on my MBP under Mountain Lion.  The one account had administrative priviledges and was only used for installing applications and a few other administrative tasks.  Then I have a second personal account, which does not have administrative priviledges and is the account I use daily for Mail, Safari, iTunes, programming etc.
    None of those accounts worked under Mountain Lion.  Basically, there is no way in.
    I then proceeded to boot with the startup option Cmd + S (command-line access).  Once that was completed, I was in as root and checked the /etc/passwd.  None of the user accounts were there.  I was only able to find two user accounts: root and nobody; and a long list of user account that started with an underscore (I think these are some sort of esoteric user accounts).  So, it appears that the Mavericks upgrade did not accurately bring over the user account information from my Mountail Lion installation.
    Then, I went into the /Users directory and there I could see the home directories for all the users as they were defined under Mountain Lion.  The contents were intact too.
    It seems to me that the Mavericks upgrade from my Mountain Lion forgot to bring over the user accounts but it did preserve the contents of all the users' home directories.
    Unless anyone can spot some sort of user error here (please let me know), I am heading back to Mountain Lion pretty swiftly.  Otherwise, I suspect there is a bug in the Mavericks installer.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    The reason this occurred is a mystery and has not been commonly reported. Consider the following. It may or may not help. You should probably print these instructions before proceeding.
    Boot Single User mode again and do the following:
    (You can skip the first step. It will check your boot volume for errors and correct what it can. If there were errors the installer should not have proceeded, but the possibility exists that directory corruption may have occurred during installation. That seems unlikely to me but could explain what went wrong.)
    In Single User Mode:
    At the :/ root# prompt, type fsck -fy and press Return or Enter. It will take a few moments to complete. If you are concerned that nothing is happening just press the Return key until you see the :/ root# prompt again.
    Once the disk check is complete and the prompt returns, type mount -uw / and press Return / Enter.
    Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist and press Enter. If you get an error message you may ignore it.
    Type ls /Users and press Enter. All of the usernames on the computer will be listed, which is helpful if you don’t know or remember what these are.
    Type dscl . passwd /Users/username password while replacing username with one of the users displayed in the previous step and replacing password with the new password of your choice. Press Enter. You will likely get an error message about a file or directory not being found. You may ignore this.
    Type reboot and press Enter.
