Two computers and two users with the same name. Can't copy files anymore...

Hi all, after a user migration to my new iMac I had to make a change of the shortname. I knew it was not a good idea but had no choice otherwise I had to wait other 3 hours to migrate data again...
Anyway, I managed to change my shortname with success, but one strange thing happened afterwards... I have two macs networked, both have an admin user with the same shortname/real name, 'gillo' (I followed the procedure in one of these two, the Intel iMac. The other, a Powerbook, was not modified).
While previously I had no problems in copying files from the user 'gillo' on the Powerbook TO the user 'gillo' on the iMac, after the shortname change I'm not anymore able to do it. The error I get is:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items"
Doesn't matter where I put the files, Desktop, Documents, even the Drop Box, I always get the same error.
I went through some checks and this is the 'log':
- The files/folders in the iMac 'gillo' directory are not locked.
- The files can be copied without troubles to the dirs of another admin user
- Permissions are the same as the other admin user and owner/group are the correct ones.
- Both Macs have 10.4.6
- The 'gillo' user on the iMac can copy files FROM the user 'gillo' on the Powerbook.
- I repaired permissions and the hard disk booting from the install DVD.
- I tried to change permissions of the directories (such as Desktop) on the iMac 'gillo' user allowing everybody to read/write. Also a no go.
Anybody went through this already? Or maybe something similar not directly related to the short name change?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

  • Why do I see multiple users with the same name as an output of "users"

    Recently, I found a peculiar thing when I typed "users" in the terminal. There were three users with the same name. After restart(power went down) I now see only one user there. Is this normal and why it can be happening? Why are there duplicate users sometimes?

    Well now I'm confused. My xterm (xfce4-terminal) has that option disabled but I still get a user entry for each tab.
    OT: you can run who to get a better idea of what each user is associated with. Eg. with Xorg on tty1 and terminal open with two tabs:
    $ who
    testing tty1 2013-12-11 08:55
    testing pts/0 2013-12-11 08:55 (:0.0)
    testing pts/1 2013-12-11 15:51 (:0.0)
    Oh there is another option on mine besides "Run command as a login shell" called "Update login records when command is launched" I have them both disabled. Check for a second option maybe.

  • 2 Users with the same name/shortname on the same machine

    Hello,
    What will happen if:
    There is a local user called Bob and a network user on a server called Bob? Before you even post anything, please let me know if you have actually SEEN this before. I know something will happen, I just don't know what. Again, 2 different users with the same name. YES it is possible to create, but I have not tested it yet. One home is on the local machine and the other is a network home directory. I didn't post this in the server section for this reason...the question is about a client machine running 10.5.4 not server, so it belongs here! Thanks to all who help and my guess is a dialog box pops up with a choice of network or local? Not sure, but it is going to be quite an interesting topic.

    Thank you both. It seems I need to test this because it doesn't seem anyone has ever run into this situation. The first thing I need to ask is will it do any damage to the system files if a user logs in with the same resolving name?I know I know the UIDs are different, but maybe have the same shortname? Not sure if it will work. The network users authenticate via LDAP and the server is set to an Open Directory Master. Now as for the client machine:
    #1 - If I create both test users (local and network), will I be able to set the network as a Mobile Home Directory even though there is an existing home folder for the local user?
    #2 - I want one specific user to have the same login name and password, but a different login "reaction" when the user logs in depending on the location. For example, I have a current network user Bob, password 1234 who is logged in and connected to the server. He finishes working on his project at the office and then goes home for the day. When he gets home, I want his to be able to login with the user name Bob, connecting to the local account on his machine. I DO NOT want to user PHDs, but rather have two separate home folders for the same resolving login user name! I know it is a lot to ask for but, here is my next question...
    #3 - If I create two different home folders for the same resolving name, but they are accessed in two different locations, one with a server LDAP authentication and one locally (127.0.0.1), will it work?
    I really appreciate the replies, but I am looking for more of straight forward answers rather than an example and background information. Thank you.

  • ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

    iTunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library.  Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library.  With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder.  This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

  • Bug with workflow that creates a folder and sub folder with the same name.

    Hi,
    I've found a possible bug in SharePoint 2010 workflows. I only have access to SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010 over my companies intranet, afaik I don't have access to to logs or anything server side so sorry for the any missing information.
    I had some problems with a workflow in one list that needed to create some folders and subfolders in a second list. The production version did a lot more so I setup a test area with 1 list and a workflow that only does the folder creation part and have managed
    to consistently replicate this problem.
    The test list has two columns, [title] and [sub folder title]
    The workflow starts by getting the values for [title] and [sub folder title] into variables.
    It then creates a folder in the same list with the same name as [title], and then creates a sub folder under this with the name from [sub folder title]
    So the resulting structure would be:
    Test List:-
        List item with fields [title] and [sub folder title]
        [folder: title]:-
            [folder: sub folder title]
    If both folder names are different (e.g Folder1 and Folder2) then it works perfectly fine, if both folder names are the same (regardless of character case, e.g. samefolderName and sameFolderName) then the workflow fails.
    As part of the test i made the first action of the workflow to log the message "Workflow Started" to the history list. When the workflow fail there's nothing logged in the history list other than the error: "The workflow could not update the
    item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information."
    Creating a sub folder with the same name as it's parent works fine manually but for some reason a workflow can't seem to do it in one action.
    As there's no history list entries before the error it looks like the workflow is just failing to start but if i do something like add an if statement to check if [title] and [sub folder title] are the same, and only create the subfolder when they are not
    then it runs fine doing what it's set to.
    The function of the workflow in our office was for convenience so were just working without it. Just wanted to post to see if anyone else has come across this/could try to replicate or explain this  and see if it's a SharePoint bug or something specific
    to our setup.
    thanks,
    Martin

    not sure about the specifics of your workflow, but if you're querying the list for the folders... keep in mind that a list lookup will only ever bring back ONE item... even if there are several items that meet the filter criteria... example: if i search
    a list for an item assigned to "john doe", there may be 15 tasks that meet the criteria, and it'll only grab one... this is why SP Designer WARNS you when your list lookup may exhibit this behavior.

  • Bridge copy and paste folders with the same name question

    I just copied and pasted a folder named, as an example, "concerts" with a bunch of pictures to another drive with a folder with the same name.
    I choosed "substitute" when prompted and all the pics existing in old "concerts" folder have been deleted and replaced with just the new ones.
    So pasting a folder can't add files to the folder with the same name, but it completely replaces it. The other prompted option creates a "concerts (1)" new folder.
    Luckyly before moving files I always do a backup, so it's not a big issue, but I'm amazed by such behaviour. Also deleted pictures don't appear in the recycle bin. They are completely lost!

    I choosed "substitute" when prompted and all the pics existing in old "concerts" folder have been deleted and replaced with just the new ones.
    Are you on Windows? don't know the options you tell, I have three options (Mac) called: 'cancel', 'replace' and 'auto resolve' when dealing with one file and for multiple files it adds 'skip' to the list and has the option for 'apply all'
    Replace does what it says, it replaces files and folders with the same name, auto resolve adds a (1) to the files or other number if more with same name are added.
    So pasting a folder can't add files to the folder with the same name, but it completely replaces it. The other prompted option creates a "concerts (1)" new folder.
    This is normal and wished behavior, you get a warning if names are the same and a choice to either overwrite them or add them with a new (different) filename.
    Luckyly before moving files I always do a backup, so it's not a big issue, but I'm amazed by such behaviour. Also deleted pictures don't appear in the recycle bin. Completely lost!
    Heard that before but can't replicate this, they always appear in the trash on my Mac.

  • Is it possible to have a calendar and reminder list with the same name?

    I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud on the first day. MobileMe was then set up with my MacBook and so in iCal i saw my calendar events duplicated. I didn't like this so I tried deleting the MobileMe calendars first, then realised I couldn't delete all of them, it seemed that I must have one calendar. I then removed the the account setting (which would have been the smarter thing to do). A few hours later I notice that the calendars I deleted from MobileMe have been deleted from iCloud, as well as associated task/reminder lists. Luckily for me I made a backup before moving to iCloud so I've managed to recover my calendars.
    My question is: Can I make a calendar and reminder list by the same name?
    After the migration I did have some calendars and reminder lists by the same name eg. Work, Home.

    T-Storm, I'm having the same annoying delay on my X-Fi Extreme Gamer card, it's driving me nuts trying to fix it.
    I noticed that if I un-tick the Dolbly Digital Li've in the console it goes away, along with the 5. sound, %$*&^^&%!
    Is it he same with you? Try un-ticking the DDL while playing something and see if it stops the delay or not. At least it will see if the problem is the card, the connection, the optical cable, or DDL itself.
    Dolby Digital Li've works in real-time so I fear that is causing the delay rather then a bad cable or connection. But I don't know if others are getting the same delay or not, if it is DDL then everyone should be getting it.
    But, if they are not trying to play a digital signal at the same time as a anolog one they might not notice it.

  • If i add two officially released and named albums with the same name, they keep compiling as one album. How to separate the tracks by artist??

    I need immediate help. So here's the situation: Okay so I added an RHCP (Red Hot Chili Peppers) album that is named Greatest Hits on my iPod and I also added an The Offspring album also named Greatest Hits to my iPod and both tracks of the albums group as one. Any help please? Please please reply asap thanks in advance

    This is a known bug, and you will see it in iTunes if you sort your library by Album name.
    The workaround is as Mitch indicated, change one of the album names. However, you can simply append a space at the end of one of the albums so that it "looks" the same as the other, but will be treated differently because of the space.

  • Can I have a network user with the same name as a local user?!

    I have just set up Mac OS X 10.8 SErver with Open Directory.  I have about 20 machines that I will be setting up, some which have mainly been used localy and just used to tap into Shared Files, [historically], but am wanting to use network users for better backup and support.
    However some of the legacy accounts were not used on off the server...  What I have is the following :-
    a)    [Person A]  - They are a network user with Password [Password A]
    b)    The computer is [Person A], they have a Password [Password Old] (so it is different)
    I have Network Account Users turned on, with a green dot! (have domain all set up)
    However How do I connect using either a or b.  depending on what i feel like that day!
    ? Help any ideas.
    Ultimately I will have set up all my client machines with a client admin user and standard password... but I am not there yet!

    Moving from local (legacy) users to network users takes a one-time hassle of moving the contents of their local home folder contents up to the server. Using a finder copy never worked for me. What I finally found worked reliably was using rsync to copy the entire users local folder up to the server. Once on the server, move the files into place (if you didn't rsync them there directly. Finally, Chown all the files (on the server) to associate them with the correct userID on the server. If everything looks right on the server, you can test by trying to login as this user from another local Mac (but now as a network account), and hopefully their home folder looks like they expected.
    Note you will need admin access in the local machine and the server to rsync their home folder. You don't want to be logged into their account while trying to copy their files up to the server.
    If rsync is not your bag, a portable hard disk and/or disk image of their home folder is another way to move their stuff.
    Once you've verified that their network account got to the server ok, then REMOVE the local account.

  • Two groups with the same name in File and LDAP realms

    Hi,
    I configured WLS 6.0 SP1 to use an LDAP caching realm
    as default one. In the LDAP server (Netscape Directory)
    I have a group called Administrators. There is a group
    with the same name in WLS own File Realm. When I click
    on the Groups menu item in the administration console
    I only get the Administrators group from the File Realm
    listed. Is that expected? What will happen if I protect
    a resource ti the Administrators group? Which one will
    prevail - the one from the LDAP or the one from File
    Realm? Or maybe the two will be merged?

    Hi
    First of all I want to know that where you created your class, In SE24 or in any programm.
    if in SE24, then go to se24 open that class go to methods tab and check if that method name accurs at two places, if not, then
    click on that method and check the code.
    or if in a program.
    then you must have defined like
    class <class name> definition.
    public section
    method <method name>
    endclass.
    class <class name> implementation.
    method <method name>
      code for that method.
    endclass.
    It might be possible you have set the implementation part twice for that particular method, So please check and delete one implementation for that method.
    Thanks

  • Lightroom Faces: Two People with the Same Name

    I downloaded Lightroom CC last night and came up with the following question:
    I have an uncle and a cousin with the same name...can Lightroom create two different "people" or will I need to name them each differently? I'm guessing it's the latter but figured I'd pose the question in case there is an alternate solution.

    johnrellis schreef:
    You might have a keyword for each family grouping, e.g. "John Ellis Family" and "Steve Ellis Family", and then place the keywords for the members of each under those parents.  E.g. under "John Ellis Family" you'd have "John Ellis", "Mary Ellis", "Jane Ellis", etc.   And under "Steve Ellis Family", you might have "Steve Ellis", "Kathryn Ellis", and "John Ellis" (a different John Ellis).
    It's a good idea to work with hierarchies. But for the face option to work, you will have to have two unique names.
    I just did a quick test.
    I have some images of twins in my catalogue, Tom and Boris.
    Under them, I created a "name" Twin. Because of the hierarchy, I can apply Boris>Twin to one image, Tom>Twin to another and both of them to a third photo.
    So I drag a name box around them and type "Twin". The drop down (auto fill) lets me choose between two identical looking entries called "twin". No way of knowing which one to pick. And maybe you've noticed that the auto fill drop down list starts with entries you used recently. So no good remembering that the top "Twin" will always be "Boris" for example.
    The count of used keywords only goes up for one of them if I happen to use the same entry twice.
    The only way for this to work (as far as I can tell now) is to drag the appropriate "Twin" from the keywordlist onto the right face in the People view (O).
    I work with hierarchies, but I make sure I have unique names.
    Also, I don't use spaces in the names, but rather JohnEllis, SteveEllis, etc. That way, if I have a very long list with Ellis members and also a lot of people called John or Steve, it's much easier to narrow the search for a particular person (like in smart collections).
    Opening the properties for the keyword, I make sure that "include on export" is NOT on, so you won't see that strange looking name Number123JohnEllis in your exported image.
    I have "export containing keywords" and "export synonyms" (and now with LR CC of course "Person") checked. As a synonym, you can put "John, Ellis, John Ellis, Steve Ellis family" and all of these will export.
    Hope this makes sense.
    Like John suggests, if you already create the Ellis Family>Steve Ellis Family>John Ellis>John>Numer123JohnEllis then you don't have to enter the synonyms, as long as you have "export containing keywords" on all of them checked, as well as "include on export" (except for the Number123JohnEllis keyword which shouldn't have "include on export" checked).
    Working with hierarchies can really help you in your keywording. But it will take some time to set it up.
