Trying To Set UP User PW to Upgrade To Mavericks OS X

I'm trying to upgrade to OSX mavericks on my iMac. It's asking for a user password and I never set up that or an admin PW. So, when I go to user groups to set up a PW, it asks for my current password in order to "Cjhange Password". Catch 22. What do I do

You can reset the password, but you will lose access to your passwords and things stored in the keychain.
I don't know if there is another way to get the password fixed.
Boot into Recovery by holding down cmd-r on restart.
When it boots, go to the Utilities menu and choose Terminal
Type, resetpassword an hit return
When the utility opens, select your hard drive and then your user name.
You can then change the password for that user.
Once done, quit the utility and restart the Mac.

Lost user account after upgrading to Mavericks

Hi there,
I've just upgraded from ML 10.8.5 to Mavericks 10.9 using the Mavericks install app downloaded in another computer and after restarting, I got the setup screen.
I restarted the computer in single user mode and notice that the user accounts are still in there so I created the .AppleSetupDone file manually. After restarting, I couldn't login using any of the accounts.
I restarted on the Recovery partition and tried to reset the users passwords, but the only user available was the root user. I created a password for the root so I can at least login on the system.
After loging in as root, I can't find my users in System Preferences and in their home folders, the only folder is the Library folder, all the other folders were deleted.
I work in a school and want to deploy Mavericks to all computers soon, but I don't want that teachers or students have the same problem.
Does anybody have a solution for it?
Thanks,
Luis

I got the setup screen.
That shouldn't have happened. Either the directory database was corrupt to begin with, or something else went wrong with the installation. It's not a normal occurrence.

Setting CUIC user permissions for all reports at once

Hi all,
We are using CUIC 8.0(4) Standard Edition and trying to set CUIC user permissions, such as Read, Exec and Write, for reports.
If we need to give access to all reports then we should set permissions for each report separately.
Is there any way to set those permissions for all reports at once?
We attempted to set Read, Exec and Write premissions for the Reports, Stock and UCCE folders but no luck.
Thanks.
Nikolay

Printers disappeared after upgrade to Mavericks

All printers disappeared from user account after upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8 by Migration Assistant.
The obvious question: How to migrate the printers?
I don't recall each individual printer setup and just want to move them over.

Hello Mac Experts,
I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and I too am having this same issue. After my upgrade was completed, I checked my printers and noticed that all my network printers were gone. I have never perform an OS X upgrade before and this is my first attempt, although the upgrade was successful but I was a bit surprised that all the network printers that I have were gone.
For those us either in a small SOHO this is no big deal, however, if you're in a big environment where you have a lot of machines this would be a big problem and would create a lot of unnecessary work and time wasted.
Have any of you Mac experts perform an upgrade from Panther to Tiger? If so, did you loose all your network printers that you have configured in System Preferences > Print & Fax
Could this be a bug in Leopard????

I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

Hello everyone. I've got a macbook pro running on mac os x 10.6.8; trying to set up norton antivirus and it requires mac os x 7 or later. How can I safely upgrade to mac os. 7?

leroydouglas is correct, DO NOT install Norton or any other commercial anti virus software. They all work very poorly with Macs. If you insist on AV software, consider Sophos, it is free.
If you do wish to update your OSX, here are the available options:

I am trying to set up e-mail on a second user account but mail preferences is grayed out. I have looked at some posts which indicate it could be corrupt file and say to deletee .plist but I cannot find that at all. Any suggestions?

I am trying to set up a Mail account for a second user. I have made the user account but when I try to set up Mail, it fails as if the password or e-mail is incorrect but I know it is correct. When I try to go to Mail preferences, it is grayed out. Any suggestions?

1. If you haven't tried this already, just delete the user account entirely, and then try setting it up again.
2. To find the permissions file:
     a. hold down the option key
     b. go to the Go menu in the finder
     c. scroll down to Library and open it
     d. in Library, go to Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
     e. drag it to the trash and restart.
3. if that doesn't work, go to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access menu, do Keychain First Aid, and repair.
This should keep you busy for a while.

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.

Trying to set up multiple users, multiple roles in Tomcat

I've been learning webapps by making a webapp for the school where my wife works -- to manage assigning students to the rotating schedule of art periods throughout the year. Lots of fun and very good learning. I bought a Tomcat book, installed Tomcat 4.1.24, and have been writing html, jsp's, servlets, etc.
I've got a good deal of it working. Now I see that there will be areas of the app where it makes sense to restrict access to only those who have the roles -- the teacher who does the basic assignments work will have "manage" role, my wife who works in admissions will have "admin" access to the areas that allow students to be added to the database, general users will have access to areas where information is available but they can't change things. That sort of security planning.
I'm not worried about industrial strength security. It's a nice place, no big security worries with the students, it's not on the web, just the school's local network. So I plan to use Tomcat's BASIC auth, and I've tried to set it up in the tomcat-users.xml and the webapp's web.xml.
So I have 3 roles in tomcat-users.xml - user, manage, and admin. There would be a general user, named "user" with user role. That one could get in to the opening page, and to any other page not further restricted. The teacher would have "user" role to get in, and "manage" role to get to those pages that involve assignment tasks. My wife would have "user" to get in, and "admin" for admin stuff. A user would be blocked at the "secure" pages, but having logged in with both roles, the teacher and my wife would get them without further authentication.
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="user"/>
<role rolename="manage"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<user username="user" password="userhat" roles="user"/>
<user username="hillary" password="managehat" roles="user,manage"/>
<user username="susan" password="adminhat" roles="user,admin"/>
</tomcat-users>
In the web.xml, I thought I could set up 2 different "security areas" in the web.xml, as a "proof of concept" exercise.
<security-constraint>
<display-name>Entry Level Security</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Open Pages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>user</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<security-constraint>
<display-name>Art Blocks Secure Pages</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Secure Pages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/secure/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
<role-name>manage</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
However I find that the general user, after passing the BASIC authentication popup, gets the opening page, but then can get to the admin stuff without any further popups. I must be missing something.

Hi,
Tomcat is not big on security. It doesn't have good security in standalone mode.Whenever I used Tomcat, another web server like Apache was used to provide authentication. This doesn't answer questions but you know at least not to expect too much.

Trying to set attribute value based on user selection of another attribute

I am trying to set an attribute value based on the user's selection of another attribute using JSP EditCurrentRecord. When the user chooses the AreaId from the combo box I want to look up the value of the RgnID, preferrably without the user seeing this field at all. Below is my code which does not work. When I run it I get Error Message: null. Any suggestions are appreciated!!
<jsp:useBean id="RowEditor" class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.EditCurrentRecord" scope="request">
<%
RowEditor.initialize(pageContext, "MyProject2_package1_SRSecurityModule.UsrAreaWhView");
RowEditor.setTargetUrl("UsrAreaWhView_SubmitInsertForm.jsp");
RowEditor.createNewRow();
RowEditor.setDisplayAttributes("OracleId, RgnId, RegionKey, AreaId");
RowEditor.useEditField("OracleId");
RowEditor.getFieldRenderer("OracleId").setPromptText("Oracle ID");
RowEditor.useEditField("AreaId");
RowEditor.useComboBox("AreaId","AreaWhView","Area","AreaKey");
RowEditor.getFieldRenderer("AreaId").setPromptText("Area");
RowEditor.useEditField("RgnId");
RowEditor.getFieldRenderer("RgnId").setPromptText("Region");
RowEditor.getRowSet().getViewObject().getCurrentRow().setAttribute("RgnId",RowEditor.getRowSet().getViewObject().getCurrentRow().getAttribute("RegionKey"));
RowEditor.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
RowEditor.render();
%>

ok, sorry everyone for making it confusing; this is what I am
trying to acheieve;
I would like the user to populate my database with thier
username AND userID. I have a dropdown box with thier username
dynamicly populated already, what I am trying to achieve, is a way
of when the user selects thier username either another dropdown or
a hidden field is automatically populated with the appropiate
userID (to match thier username). Now I could just have two
dropdowns and they select both, but i'd rather avoid the
possibility of mismatches, and that is why I would like it to be
automatic and based on thier username selection...
Does that make sense....?

SDK service using domain user trying to set SPN for computer account

I have a SDK service running under a domain user account, but it tries to register the SPN for the computer account of the machine?!
Therefore I get the following alert:
The System Center Data Access service failed to register an SPN. A domain admin needs to add MSOMSdkSvc/WIN-9IAJC0HS9RJ and MSOMSdkSvc/WIN-9IAJC0HS9RJ.domainxx.local to the servicePrincipalName of CN=WIN-9IAJC0HS9RJ,CN=Computers,DC=domainxx,DC=local
Which makes sense because it has not the permissions to do that.
When I make the domain user account member of domain admins it has the concerning permissions and it indeed registers that SPN to the computer account. But why?? The SPN should be registered to the domain user account instead (and therefore I had given the
domain user account the read/write permissions to itself to do that).
I have the following SPN registered now for the computer and domain user account:
setspn -l WIN-9IAJC0HS9RJ
Registered ServicePrincipalNames for CN=WIN-9IAJC0HS9RJ,CN=Computers,DC=domainxx
DC=local:

I don't get it. Anyone?
I am using SCOM 2012 R2
Pls help.
Thanx in advance.
Regards
Chris

SCOM SDK service really tries to set its SPN to the computer account (although the SDK service is running using a domain user account). The alert is no bug!
I know this for sure because I gave the SDK service permission to do it - by making the domain user account member of the domain admins security group - and it indeed sets the SPN on the computer account.
The latter is the actual bug I would say! It should try to set the SPN for the domain user account the sdk service is running with.
Then again, nog having the SPN been set correctly to this domain user account, does not seem to bother SCOM at all indeed. Perhaps it uses NTLM instead in this scenario.
Can anyone comfirm?
