The system preferences say I'm not an Admin, but i'm the only person using my computer

I'm trying to change the size of my dock, but it says "this is dimmed because it's managed by your system administrator" http://imgur.com/1HUcE0k
But when I go to the Users and Groups part of the System Preferences, it shows me as the only user and it says Admin under my name. http://imgur.com/EycBV5l

  • Do I need a user account if I am the only person using my Mac?

    Hi. Total newb to Mac here so be gentle with me What I am wondering is did I need to create a user account for myself when I am the only person that ever uses my Mac? The reason I did create one is I did not see an obvious way to create a password upon boot up as a straight admin account & I am concerned about theft. So I guess I am asking a few questions. Do I need the standard account & if not how do I delete it?
    If I do not need one can I set up a login PW for OSX period?
    I sincerly thank any help.

    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3309
    Go to ->System Preferences->User Accounts.
    As the only user, you must have at least 1 User Account for yourself (as Administrator)
    To delete an account, hightlight it and select [ - ]
    For Password on Boot, select Login Options and set Automatic Login to OFF
    Note that if your Mac is stolen, its very easy to bypass the Password on Boot.
    For Security, see  ->System Preferences->Security->Filevault 
    Personally, I think Filevault is overkill, so I just put my sensitive date in Encrypted Disk Images: http://www.macworld.com/article/53658/2006/10/decmobilemac.html

    Troubleshoot the network as that is likely what is causing the issue.
    Also, temporarily disable the firewall on the Mac and disable IPV6 on the computer.

    Purchased a early 2008 Mac Pro in 2010. Yesterday I updated my mac to System 10.9 and now I have a dialogue box in system preferences saying I need to update the NVIDIA CUDA drivers but the servers are unavailable. I download a driver from the site but the Mac would not open it. This system has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphics card. What do I need to do. Do I need a new Card?

    Vista Ultimate 64-bit recognizes 8 cores. 32-bit recognizes one physical cpu.
    I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
    I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
    Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
    And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

    The System Preference:Desktop&Screensaver will not open. I get a rotating circle that never stop rotating. I have to do a Force Stop.

    Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following item to the Desktop:
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

  • How can i navigate system preferences if trackpad is not working  somehow the option were unchecked

    How can i navigate system preferences if trackpad is not working? 
    Somehow the first couple of trackpad functions were unchecked and since they are not operational I can't click or tap to turn them back on.
    I've tried shutting down and restarting and holding my hand on the trackpad for 3-4 sec. then sliding it off (another post had this suggestions).
    I don't use the function keys at all to navigate the computer so I am at a total loss if the trackpad does not work.

    Thanks for the response.
    Unfortunately this did not work - the tap to click is still not checked - and the tap function does not work.
    I did try it twice - and even used a stopwatch to be sure I got the time right.
    I noticed there is also an instruction to reset PRAM (was with the SMC reset instructions).  Is that something that may help?

  • Excel not letting user save to shared drive, only user using the files, yet it says someone else is using the file.

    I have seen this problem discussed before, but have never seen a clear cut solution.
    I have a user using Excel 2013. She can create and open files locally, but when she tries to move or save to a shared network drive, she gets the error "Someone else is working in (shared drive/filename) please try again later. She's the only one using
    the file most of the time.
    I have done a repair on the Office installation, but the user is still having the issue, and I need to remedy this. She has appropriate file/folder permissions on the network. Really stuck on this one.

    Hi,
    As we know, Office creates TMP files like "$.tmp file" when you open a document. Saving does not delete the files if we still have them open. And this issue occur with network drive not local disk, so
    it might be caused with the account permission of the network drive. If your user has no delete permission, the temp file might be not delete after closed the file. Please try to check the permission first.
    Then, if there are some mistaken operations when using the files in network drive, we could delete the temp file manually, and then the error would disappear. Please see the similar thread:

    Use Spotlight Search (the magnifying glass on the top right-hand corner of your menu bar) to locate your music files. Then point iTunes to those files.

  • I had to do a complete system restore on my computer and now I am having issues getting all my music back. It's telling me that my account is in use with a different user but I'm the only user on my computer. When I go to sync it, it wants to delete all.

    I had to do a complete system restore on my computer and now I am having issues getting all my music back. It's telling me that my account is in use with a different user but I'm the only user on my computer. When I go to sync it, it wants to delete all my music and ringtones. What should I do? I don't want to loose all my items.

    When in recovery mode you can't backup the iPod.
    You will have to restore via iTunes. See:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all.  Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

    Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
    My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

  • Safari of my Macbook (on WiFi) suddenly fails to connect to the Internet.  A popup window message says another device on the network is using my computer's IP address.

    But then there was still no Internet access even after I have disconnected all other home computers (a total of four including the Macbook and one iMac desktop.  For simplicity, I shall categorically called them Mac hereafter unless otherwise specified.  The Macs are operating on WiFi.). 
    The window message recommends changing the IP of either the Macs or the other device.  The latter of course does not apply because I don't think the other device is one of my computers. 
    My questions:  
    (1) Why did that happen suddenly since the Mac and other computers on the WiFi was working fine in the morning (as well as days before) and then all of a sudden an unknown device is using my computer's IP?  As far as I (we) can remember, we did not do any thing unusual this morning nor had we downloaded any special programs.
    (2) How do I change the IP since it requires Internet acess to do it and since I can't access the Internet on the Mac? 
    (3) I am almost sure the problem is not caused by the Internet service because when I connected the Ethernet cable from the DSL modem to an old Windows PC, I got Internet via Internet Explorer.  [I am actually sending out this message via IE on my PC.]  However, when I cennected the Ethernet line from the modem to a WiFi router (Airport Extreme) and then connect the router and the old PC, I did not get Internet on either the Mac nor the PC.  Similarly, there was no Internet on both Mac and PC If I connect Ethernet only between the modem and the router but not between PC and router.  So, the question is whether a third unknown party has gotten hold of my Mac IP address and is trying to break into the Mac?  Can it steal my personal info?
    (4)  How can I repair the Mac now and prevent future recurrences?  Is changing the IP address the way to do it?  (But like I said before I had tried but could not change the IP because I did not have Internet access on the Mac.  Is there an alternative method?) 
    (5) I wonder if a computer's IP address remains constant if you don't change it.  The reason I am asking this question is because the aforesaid window message on the Macbook--not sure about the iMac--shows a different IP address--a few numerical digits were changed--almost every time it pops up following every failure trial of mine to access the Internet.  Was the Macbook trying to change the IP for me or was there some thing not right?

    Re: Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address.
    This message/problem was occuring intermittently for me in a household with two MacBooks accessing one Airport extreme.  Rebooting the modem and router would only temporarily fix the issue for me, so I spoke with a friend who works for Apple and it seems that the Airport Extreme settings were at the root of our particular issue.
    The router(Airport Extreme) recieves only one IP address from the modem and in order to allow it to share the IP address with two computers at once, the solution in my case was through:
    Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility>Manual Setup>Internet
    under Internet Connection- Select "share a public IP address"
    under NAT, check the box for "enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol"
       (this will allow the sharing of one public IP address with multiple devices)
    if this is a new setting, then click "Update" and the Airport Extreme should reboot itself with new settings applied.
    When all else is working properly, this is a satisfactory solution in my case.

  • I have an aluminium Macbook Pro 15" from around 2009 currently running 10.5.8. Apparently I need to be on 10.7.2 to get into iCloud. System Profiler says my machine is Core Duo, but also says it has 2 cores - can I run 10.7.2 on this machine?

    I have an aluminium Macbook Pro 15" from around 2009 currently running 10.5.8. Apparently I need to be on 10.7.2 to get into iCloud. And I can only run 10.7.2 on a Core 2 Duo machine or above? System Profiler says my machine is Core Duo, but also says it has 2 cores - can I run 10.7.2 on this machine? Any feedback welcome.
