User and Group IDs.. and where are these recorded?

I come from a Unix background, so I'm having a little trouble getting my head around this. /etc/passwd and /etc/group are apparently not used for normal user accounts in OSX. Is there a way to change the UID and GID of a user account?
The reason I'm asking is because the Mac version of Guitar Pro installs as UID and GID 501 and, on my Mac, it crashes about halfway through playing a song with:
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x061f9f18
... and I suspect the problem is file permission related, as my main user account is UID/GID 502, and 501 does not relate to any existing user account on the system (I deleted my original account shortly after getting my Mac and created a new account for myself) .

UIDs and GIDs are managed with /Applications/Utilities/Netinfo Manager. Since you claim to have a unix background, you probably don't need to be told to not mess with any of its settings unless you know what you are doing.

User and Group Ids for Standby Database

The following oracle homes installed under the same unix account on the primary node:
10gR2 CRS home
10gR2 ASM home
10gR2 RDBMS home
Oracle Applications E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 (concurrent admin)
Based on note 216212.1 - Business Continuity for Oracle Applications Release 11i, Database Releases 9i and 10g
Section 1: Design Considerations and Assumptions
The note, verbatim, says "+The user and group Ids of the Oracle and applications software owner accounts must be the same on the production and standby servers+." Is this statement true? In other words, if the primary server software owner is the "morgan" unix account, then the unix account must also be "morgan" (not "stanley") on the standby server?

Yes you can run a standby with different unix usernames on primary and standby, but it will be easier if the usernames are the same.

When you upgraded to Lion did you have AppleWorks installed on your mac?
Most of the AW documents can be opened by Pages 09 or Numbers 09 with most of the orginal format in tact. (I do not know if previouse verision will work) just open the AW file with both and see which one works best.
Text Edit will also open most of the AW files as well but will require a lot of work to restore them to their orginal format.
If you have AW Database documents then they are not supported.
These document show up as "exec icons", Kind: Unix Executagle File.
They also will show up as .cwk file if they are small files. I have a couple that were under 1mb that are shown as " Kind: AppleWorks Document" but will not open.
The only option to open AW database is to have AW installed on a mac with a pre-Lion OS to recover the file.

Genius bar told me to erase the harddisk and install OSX Maverick again. This has not changed the problems with the system settings

You need to Repartition the drive as One partition which will erase all data from it and then reinstall OS X. then with the initial setup system you chose the language on the first screen that comes up. That sets the language for the whole system.
There is no other way of completely removing certain information created by a previous owner. this hold strue whether you are selling or give a Mac to someone.
To do the repartitioning you need to use the Online Internet Recovery system, if the Mac came with Lion 10.7 or above, or from the original system reinstall discs that came with it when it was new.

Created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.

I have created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. These accounts are for my kids and originally were setup with parental controls and time constraints. Thinking this was the problem I removed the time constraints, removed the parental controls, deleted and re-added them, and made them standard users. I have reinstalled, used disk utility to repair permissions, and made them admins. Any help is appreciated.

Users don't need Apple ID's. That's not the issue. Have you tried repairing permissions their accounts?

Repairing User Permissions in OS X Lion
You’ll need to reboot to perform this, and then use the same resetpassword utility that is used to change passwords in Lion, but instead choosing a hidden option.
When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions — it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder where your documents and personal applications reside.
In Lion, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys. You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

Do you happen to have an Android? If so and depending on what version there is a great data usage analyse tool built-in. See if you can go to Settings -> Data Usage from there you can pick a current or previous billing cycle and then use the vertical sliders to select a date range and it will filter the usage data per app to show you exactly what app(s) were using data during that time frame.

Hi, my current plans and products include Creative Cloud Photography plan (one-year) and Creative Cloud single-app membership for Photoshop (one-year), I only use photoshop occasionally and for very basic things, are these two plans required for basic photoshop use or am I able to go with one or the other ?

PS is part of the photography plan, so your single app plan is redundant.

I have the oracle 8.1.7 on SuSE Linux. Okay, I didnt recall
which loadjava capture I have done those, but the point of my
question is still, does it mean those methods that could not be
found are not available for to call from java? Also, I noticed
that a lot of the classes are already resolved, I assume it is
loaded the first time I loadjava them in?
Which version of database are you using? Also, please see my
comments below.

In iTunes and on my iPhone6, it shows 2.1 GB of photos, but I deleted all the photos... how do I free up this space? Where are these pics located?

On my iPhone 6 and on iTunes (when I connect it), it shows 2.1 GB of memory space used for photos.
I cannot seem to find a way to see what these are, or how to delete them.
I have deleted all of the photos I can see on my camera roll.
Where would these files be located?
Any help appreciated!!
Thank you!

Hi manners_97,
If you are having an issue with photos not appearing to relinquish the space they take up on your iPad after being deleted, there are a couple of things I would suggest.
First, try just restarting the iPad and check again. Use the procedure in this article -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Test again. If the space is still unreclaimed -
Second, it is likely that these photos are synced with iTunes. Use the procedure in this article -
iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Delete photos from iPhoto
Specifically -
Photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Dunning clear (KNB5-BUSAB) and Grouping key (KNB1-MGRUP) are Mandatory.

Hi all,
After updating the support pack18 Dunning clear (KNB5-BUSAB) and Grouping key (KNB1-MGRUP) these fields are became mandatory in Dunning Area. Earlier only Dunning Procedure is mandatory in Dunning Data tab.
SAP Note 982658 saying the above situation due to support pack18.
My client having interface programs, where program hitting FD02, due to that mandatory program, execution getting fail.
Business want Dunning Data (dunning area) field is mandatory.
I need help on this, how can we overcome this problem.
Please advise me.
Thanks
Partha

Thanks Fernando Evangelista
My understanding is "Carry out the same steps for the KNB5-BUSAB and KNB1-MGRUP fields in
screens 0220 and 7220 of the SAPMF02D program. - Here we need to update NOB value for these two fields.
Am I correct? (currently NOB is not there for these two fields).
Thanks
Partha

What third party tools exist to show a user or groups permissions and access rights for an entire SharePoint 2010 site collection?

Our admin crew has just inherited a 4 year old SharePoint site that was developed on SP 2007 and later migrated to SP 2010. We are trying to determine which users and groups have access to the 150+ sub-sites of the site and at what permission levels.
Research tells me SharePoint 2010 has no means to simply list out a user's permission levels over an entire site collection, but that it must be done at each sub-site, list & library that has permission inheritance broken to create a unique permissions
object.
Has anyone found a solution to this issue? Without days of research at each sub-site, list & library, how would one more economically go about such an investigation of a user's permissions on an entire SharePoint 2010 site?

Hello,
There is no direct way to see user and group broken permission within a site collection. However you can write powershell script to get the permission. You can modify the below script based on your need and export result in CSV. You may also need to add
code to iterate all subsites within site collection.

http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/windows-management/b/weblog/archive/2012/09/25/sharepoint-security-reporting-using-powershell
Codeplex tool is also available to check permission but it is not always fulfill business need. You may also look at this if it suits you.
