System Admin and Admin Problem...

Can any one tells me the different between system admin and admin?
It seems like system admin is messing up my file permissions, and it seems like system admin has more control than the admin (me)...
I had this experience today: everytime when I create a folder, the permission's gone under "system", I was not able to have any folder action nor create a new folder under it.
I search the forum with solutions and I think I've fixed it and it works fine now, but the permission is still not under my account name; it goes under "root" (system Admin).
Any one has a solution for this?
And how can I delete the system admin account?
Thanks,
Arnold

I input dscacheutil -q user in terminal, and I got this:
Would it help to solve my problem? :P I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem too?

    How do I uninstall Mackeeper?  I have dragged it into trash, but it still showing in systems information and causing problems!
    Please advise

    How to uninstall MacKeeper - updated
    How to Remove MacKeeper
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • Keychain, System Prefs and Safari problems...

    Hi there.
    I've had my powerbookG4 1.33 for over a year now and it is great, but recently I have had a couple of simple problems.
    My hard drive failed and was replaced by Apple with the warrenty service.
    When I got it back, the user and admin was set to Apple and I tried to change it to myself but was really unsuccessfull.
    Today when I went to use my computer, Safari and I-tunes had reset all of their settings and deleted my bookmarks.
    Safari starts up with some error message saying the Keychain could not but stored, reset it? So I've done that and tried to repair keychains with no success.
    I did the software updates and then all my files from the desktop vanished!!!!! And I am still having Keychain error messages and it deletes bookmarks I made. Should I just format/reload it myself? It seems apple did a terrible job.
    ALSO.... Microsoft word came with my software package but says the trial is expired. I know it is on the CD's but can't seem to install it either..
    help!
    Jason Richard

    Look in the /Users folder to see if your original Home folder ("Apple"?) is there, renamed. If it is, follow the steps in this Kbase article to retrieve your settings and data:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854
    I don't know of any software packages from Apple that would include Word, although new Macs often come with "Office 2004 For Mac Test Drive" installed. For information on the "demo has expired" alert, see:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302930

  • Screensaver, system sounds and itunes problem

    I did all the updates and even used migration assistant so my computer has been through allot already. I do not know which update affected my screen saver and optical audio but my screen saver is having the same issue with two monitors. My VGA monitor displays photos when the screen saver kicks in but my macbook just says looking for pictures. I tried reseting pram, repairing permissions and "safe boot" but nothing works. My optical audio somehow messes with my system sounds and iTunes on first song or podcast played. Sometimes the progress bar will freeze and I can't move it.(the time counter for a track in iTunes). The system sound works off and on when I use optical audio out to my stereo receiver. I talked to apple care and the genius bar and they said I might need to archive and install from the recovery discs that came with my computer. I think if I did that and did all the updates then the problem would return because I think it is a firmware or software update problem and not third party software interacting with the system.

    iTunes shouldn't do that. Normally when iTunes finds that it would like to move/rename a file after download or a tag edit, and the filename it wants to use is already in use, it adds a " 1" or " 2" to the end of the filename. It does not overwrite the original file. In fact if it had reused the filename then there would be two entries in your library, which would both have the same information and content. Is this the case? How exactly is the title of the film spelt?
    File & folder names are limited to 40 characters in Windows so I would expect (judging by the titles given in the store) to find the movies in a folder called:
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - P
    and to be called
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.m4v and
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallo 1.m4v
    Hopefully you have a backup of the missing file as, in principle, you are only allowed to create one copy using the redemption code.

  • Power Manager and LCD Brightness, System Freezes, and other Problems

    I have a brand new X200 with PM 1.54.  At first everything was working great.  Over the past few days I've noticed a few things:
    1.  When running on battaries, the screen brightness changes about every 10 seconds even though the profile I'm using has that feature turned off. 
    2.  After running the computer for about 1/2 hr, suddenly the PM shows a dramatic reduction in amount of time left on my battery which coinsides with: 
         a) fan consantly running; AND
         b) about 10 minuntes later my entire system freezes and I have to push the power button to force a reboot. 
    Any ideas what's wrong? 

    Since your Mac Pro is new, you would do well to contact Apple about this problem while the warranty is still in effect.

  • Locked out of J2EE Visual Admin and other  problems

    I recently tried to install some Java PDK components using the SDM tool. However it failed when trying to deploy the javadoc component. Since then the following has occurred:
    1. My enterprise portal website is unavailable (ERROR: 'Details: Web container not available!').
    2. I can't login into the J2EE admin tool (ERROR: 'the object does not exist') using either the initially reset Admin password (as part of the original install) or 'admin'.
    3. In the SAP MMC, the Server 0 instance displays yellow, with the jcontrol.exe status (under Process List) as 'some processes running' and server0 (under Process Table) status as 'starting applications'.
    4. The log file on the J2EE database is 100% (not sure if this is relevant or not).
    I've tried to undeploy the java components in case they are the cause of the above issues but get the following error in SDM:
    Info: ***** Begin of SAP J2EE Engine Online Undeployment (J2EE) *****
    No information about the J2EE engine cluster is available. The online undeployment process is continuing.
    Info: ***** End of SAP J2EE Engine Online Undeployment (J2EE) *****
    Error: Undeployment of SDA executed with errors.
    Error:  See below for details:
    Caught exception while checking the login credentials for SAP J2EE Engine. Check whether the SAP J2EE Engine is up and running. com.sap.engine.deploy.manager.DeployManagerException: ERROR: Cannot connect to Host: [server] with user name: [Administrator]
    Check your login information.
    Exception is:

    (message ID: com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.extern.EngineAppOnlineUndeployerImpl.checkLoginCredentials.DMEXC)
    Error: Result: error
    In summary, assuming the new java components broke the EP and J2EE I can't undeploy them (because J2EE is broken) in order to fix J2EE. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
    Does anyone know why I can't login to J2EE VA, why the J2EE server only partials starts up, why the EP is not working, or how I can truncate the database log file?
    I'm running EP 6.4 SP9 on W2K3.

    Hi Mike,
    May be the following link will help you.
    J2EE Engine start error: Database initialization failed!
    Moreover, make sure that your port no to which connecting through visual admin is around 50000.

  • Error code 0x800700B7 with System Restore and Backup problems

    My OS is Vista Ultimate. 2GB RAM. 13GB free space on C Drive. I am unable to use System Restore or Backup and Restore center. When I try to create a Restore Point (or do a backup) error message comes up 'Could not create the scheduled task for the following reason: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (0x800700B7).' I think (not sure) that these problems came after I was infected with win32:Vitro virus. (No longer any infections showing). I think that my registry may be corrupt or files deleted. Can anyone help please?

    Hi,
    Thank you for your post.
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    Note: Please perform a complete system backup first. If any unexpected issue occurs, we can quickly restore the system to the current status.
    1.     Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
    2.     In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache
    3.     Right click on this key and select "Export" and save the key to a Flash Drive or other removable storage device.
    4.     Remove the key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows”
    5.     Please reboot the computer and check if the issue reoccurs. If it works, please also reconfigure the Scheduled Task for System restore in Task Scheduler.
    Hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Photoshop cs4 new system integration and network problems

    Hi there!
    I am new to the forums, but I will just dive right into my issue rather than introducing myself:
    I recently did a new hardware install (16 TB of clustered storage) at a mograph studio that are heavy users of Photoshop CS4, amongst other things.  Prior to the new storage, they primarily used an Xserve with attached RAID device, and CS3.  They are now experience high amounts of file corruption on PSDs from saving over the network.  I am, of course, aware the Adobe does not support network saving, due to the plethora of problems that may exist and the difficulty of recreating such varied environments.  I also know that neither Apple nor Adobe seem overtly concerned with this problem, although they may have fixed it with updates in CS3.  The users are aware of this fact, but continue to stress that they had "no problems what so ever on the xserve".
    Basically, aside from the facts that are available in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html and found on the forums, has ANYONE found an exceptable work around for these sort of issues.  Also, we tried the "save as" fix that was posted on these forums, and that did not work either.
    Please, any help is extremely appreciated.  Thanks

    If you have a working network and servers -- it can work. (and does for most of the servers inside Adobe, and those in my home)
    But if anything (OS, network, server) malfunctions -- the process breaks in difficult to diagnose ways.
    Photoshop is already following all the safe file save guidelines, testing for permissions, testing for space availability, etc.  But still things fail on networks.  And when we look into the failures, it's rarely the same cause and usually can't be worked around in any reasonable manner.
    As application developers, we're frustrated too.  We know it can work.  We know it should work.  But some things are too far beyond our control.
    Bottom line:  Finder and Explorer add a lot more error checking to server file copies, and do their copies in relatively simple patterns (unlike file saves that can involve random seeks and writes, depending on the format).  Saving locally and copying to the server afterward is going to be safer (adds at least 2 more layers of error checking).  The same goes for copying from the server then opening -- though we see far fewer errors reading from a server than writing to a server.

  • JMS system module between Admin and Cluster

    Hi,
    In my application, I have JMS servers,queues and Uniform distributed Queue to be assigned to Cluster and some other queues to be assigned to Admin server.
    Can I have assign resources for both Cluster and Admin servers in single JMS system module and assign its target to both Cluster and Admin? or Should I create seperate JMS system module for admin and Cluster? Which is best and efficient way? PLease clarify.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Can I have assign resources for both Cluster and Admin servers in single JMS system module and assign its target to both Cluster and Admin?Yes
    Should I create seperate JMS system module for admin and Cluster? Which is best and efficient way?This depends on how much you are going to stress the queue, and your box. This is, you should try to have a queue persistent store that somehow matches what the box can handle. Also keep in mind that local queues tent to be more efficient than remote queues, at the cost of adding cycles to the box where you have your app installed.

  • System and admin privileges after restore

    I just restored my system from a disk image.
    The system boots fine, but I can only launch programmes that are owned by my user (firefox, photoshop etc.). Programmes owned by the system (system - rw, admin - rw, everyone - r) will not launch, so no mail, no system prefs and no terminal.
    The HD is system owned and I can't unlock the lock in get info o the HD or any of the programmes.
    repair permissions from the install disk (though it's a 10.4 disk) or from a 10.5 via target HD mode doesn't help.
    Tried adding my user to the admin group using single user mode, but it said that user was already part of the group. And even if I'm not an admin I should still be able to launch programmes, no?

  • Upgrade 10.4.11 to 10.5, admin and root login are toast

    I wasn't sure if I should post this under Installation and Setup or Account and Login, as it involves both.
    Short version: After upgrading my G5 tower from 10.4.11 to 10.5, all logging into admin or root accounts stops working, except for logging in automatically as admin on bootup.
    Long, overly wordy version:
    So, I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.4GHz and a G5 2x2.0GHz tower, both running 10.4.11. I cloned my MBP drive, and did the upgrade to 10.5 in the normal fashion, and everything worked fine. After the install, I updated to 10.5.2 and the other recent stuff in Software Update, and everything is ok there.
    Next, my G5. I cloned my boot drive to an external for safety with CCC 3.0.1. I try the same update from 10.4.11 to 10.5 (PPC instead of Intel obviously, but it's the same install DVD) and it SEEMS to go ok. After the reboot I was up and running with 10.5, logged in as the admin user. I only have 1 user on the G5, the admin user, and it's set to automatically log in. So, it wasn't until I tried to update from 10.5 to 10.5.2 that I discovered that I could not give admin access to the process, or any process. It gives no error message, but acts the same as it would with an incorrect password. I tried logging out, and logging into the same user account again, and it fails. It also seems to think about for quite a while before it rejects the attempt by doing that little horizontal shake thing. Also, normally it would just list my admin user for me to click on, but instead I have the field to type it in myself, like it's totally lost track of the user(s). However, if I do a full reboot, it seems to log in fine via the automatic login function. Oh, and the exact same stuff happens if I try to log in as root, no go. Things like Repair Permissions and disk repairing (via booting to the 10.5 DVD and using disk utility OR booting to and using my TechToolPro 4.6.1 DVD) do nothing, and no problems are found.
    Of course, I tried booting from the 10.5 DVD and resetting the password, and it DOES list the proper admin user's name while doing that. However, it doesn't help, logging in or doing anything requiring admin rights is still impossible, except for logging in via automatic login.
    I reeeeeally don't want to do an archive install, as reinstalling all my apps would be an absolute nightmare. (This is an audio recording station, Logic Pro, Final Cut, Reason, PeakPro, etc.)
    Any ideas? I restored the drive back to 10.4.11 from my backup after wiping it and reformatting (new partition and everything, everything except zero the drive), and did the whole process over again with the exact same results. Restored again, and that's where I am now. I guess I'll have to stick with 10.4.11 for a while longer until I figure this out.

    Hello Jon:
    It is difficult to determine (read I do not have a clue) what happened. However, an archive and install does not require reinstalling all of your software:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    A&I retains your programs, files, and settings. I used A&I to upgrade one of my iMacs to OS X 10.5 (I also used the upgrade feature on the other one). A&I also creates a rather large folder called +"previous system"+ that may be deleted after things are running well (it is a sort of safety net that contains all of the programs, data, etc from the prior installation).

  • Command for STOPPING  admin and managed servers

    I am writing a script for our application, which apart from building and
    deploying application, also needs to stop and start both admin and managed
    servers. Is there any command available for properly stopping the weblogic
    servers? ( something that "initiates the shutdown")
    Thanks

    Scott, could you try specifying the protocol: t3 in the url of the
    servers.
    eg) java weblogic.Admin -url t3://172.17.13.46:7013 -username system
    -password
    xxx SHUTDOWN
