User Profiles -- A new one appeared, help!

Working sharing some files between users on my parent's new iMac. Spent all day setting up address book. Now there are is an alias called "mother" that is available to log in and a folder called "mom" that has all the settings that used to be in "mother" but does not have a log in. How can I log in to the "mom" alias to use that? How can I delete the "mother" alias since it doesn't have any of the information (saved settings) I want?

Welcome To Discussions chiltonc!

    are working fine.
    Let 1st I introduce my current environment. I have existing Win Server 2003 domain controller (abc.com) with 130 client computers and 200 users I am going to plan migrate my current environment to Win server 2012 Domain (xyz.com) Keep in mind that Domain
    name is changed but Domain Controller (Server) names are same i.e MY-PDC . I have tested domain join on multiple computers using existing clone of client computers and create all existing users using .csv file and power shell with required
    credentials and OU.I am facing the user profile issue when I join domain and login with existing user which was previously the user of same computer the required profile does not login and computer creates new user profile in Document and Settings section
    of Win XP.

  • User Profile custom property not appearing in search crawled property

    Actually I have migrated search services from one server to another server in that server I have created new custom user profile property but it is not appearing in search service crawled property any one please help me out in this.

    I got the same problem and i fixed it.
    If you take a look on all User Profile properties(cutsom or standard) you will note that they are all mapped to the property "ContentsHidden"(in addition of its property).
    I concluded that you have to map all user profile properties to "ContentsHidden"
    Please mark as usefull if it resolved the problem.
    may this post help you

  • Move user profile to new domain profile on same computer

    If you want to copy data and most of the preferences, I suggest Fab's AutoBackup 6 Pro.
    http://www.fpnet.fr/

    Hello all
    I've been given the tedious task of replacing a server with a new one using a different domain, then rejoining all of the desktops to the new domain.
    There won't be any kind of migration, just rejoining desktops to new domain.
    Has anyone got any recommendations on what would be the best way to transfer the desktops user profiles from the old domain profile to the new domain profile?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • User Profile Sync - Fields That Appear Under the "Person or Group" Column

    As I go to add a new column to a list on SharePoint 2010, I notice some fields under the drop down labeled "Show field". Inside that drop down there is a "Test" and a couple others I see in there that I don't notice in the User Profile
    Sync. Forgive me, I've inherited this SharePoint config. Where should I be looking to find these phantom fields or how can I erase them?
    Thank you!

    Those fields are part of the schema for the "Person or Group" field type and are not related to the UPS.

  • Songs from old computer aren't "authorized" on new one. HELP

    Hi
    I purchased songs from itunes using my previous computer (a toshiba) when I bought my new one (hp) i transferred all files to it including songs. 2 of the albums that I purchased from itunes while using my Toshiba computer will not sync to my ipod using my HP computer. I get a message saying that I am not authorized to play the songs. I have had the same itunes account name and information on the Toshiba and HP. What can i do? I dont want to lose the songs and I paid for them! HELP please!

    hello, heres the quick solution. open up itunes, on the top of itunes you will see the word store, click on it, then go down to authorize computer. click on it. it will probably ask for you to sign in. after that, you will resync your ipod and viola! your good to go!
    take care, physicsguru

  • Because I have taken over 9,999  pics, my phone is now duplicating image numbers. The problem is when I am importing with Image Capture, when I select images, the program is importing BOTH the old images of the same number as well as the new ones. Help?

    Because I have taken over 9,999 images, my phone is now duplicating image numbers. The problem is that Image Capture now imports BOTH images when I select the new ones that share numbers with old ones.  The images were completely mixed when they showed up in Image Capture - Old image 0001, new image 0001, old image 0002, new image 0002 and so forth. I clicked on "date," which then rearraged the images, and I selected only the new ones, but when they actually import to my computer BOTH old and new images are importing. Has anyone figured out how to solve this problem?

    Well, obviously all I needed to do  to solve the problem was to post about it. It has stopped, so all is well!

  • With my list of user profiles an extra one is always provided called "other", how do I turn that off?

    On my start up page or home page my list of user profiles include my authorized users as well as Guest, even when guest is turned off, as well as "other". Who is other, where did it come from, how do I get rid of it?

    "Other" is root user. Root user is enabled. Disable it.

  • How do I clean-up iPhoto library in iMovie '08 and make my new ones appear?

    I'm a graphic designer and I use Adobe Bridge to add metadata (keywords) to my pictures so they're searchable on the Internet - not just iPhoto (and iLife?) and after transferring all the image files from iPhoto onto my Time Capsule (external hard-drive) and deleting the Photo Albums from iPhoto, I created a new Album to import still frames/images to use in my new iMovie project. I cleaned out (emptied) my iPhoto trash to help free-up space on my hard-drive, too.
    The problem I'm having is that my iPhoto library as viewed from iMovie - still shows all the old photo albums that I've already deleted and the new .PNG I imported doesn't appear; however, the old .JPG files I once had still appear with exclamation marks as the thumbnail images and I can't select or delete them. When I right-click on the iPhoto photo albums library within iMovie, I only get the option to open in iPhoto. I imagine there is some back door manipulation required to fix this. The iMovie and iPhoto software came pre-installed in my computer and I'm not so sure that re-formatting my computer with the start-up disc is the safe or correct answer.
    I've been researching the iMovie forum to see if there is a file I should be able to access to fix a Cache file somewhere; however, I couldn't find any .xml files, cache files, or anything anywhere yet. Thanks in advance to anyone willing and able to share some knowledge. I look forward to resolving this troubling experience. My final goal is to use the .PNG file (which contains transparent data, unlike .JPG files which fill transparent data with white pixels) as a frame image if not as a floating graphic (i.e. picture-in-picture).

    Sean in the iMovie technical support area (thanks to my lovely Apple Care plan purchase) answered my question about how to delete the iPhoto library, which I no longer use (because I use Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS3 to browse my photos and update their Metadata to make the images searchable not only on my computer, but others who don't have iPhoto, or iLife as well; even PC users and Internet search engines - when the images are uploaded as-is - without compression and changes that occur when uploaded to image hosts such as Photobucket.com, etc.):
    Go to: *Finder >* (click on) *Pictures >* (and on the right, see iPhoto Library, Aperture, etc.? Select those files and...) *Move to Trash*
    Now when you look at the Photos Browser in iMovie (⌘2) the folder, files, blank thumbnails and junk are (thankfully) gone!
    As for using images located elsewhere for use in iMovie - I just have to locate them via the Finder, then select the file, then drag-and-drop the image for immediate placement into the part of My Project where I want to use the image and repeat this method for each incidence I want the graphic to appear.
    Unfortunately, I must upgrade to iMovie '09 if I want to be able to take advantage of the Picture-in-Picture feature, which would enable me to place a logo or image graphic in a video project while other parts of the production are playing, but I can still use the title feature to embed text information such as a business name and phone number or (website) URL pertaining to the project as a surrogate stamp, watermark, or creative signature, but no other graphic image files may be used here.
