Whats the differene between a standard account and an administrator account

Can someone explain to me the difference between these two accounts please. Also I wonder if theres a way to stop the guest account deleting files on exit.

Admin accounts can install and remove applications, Standard accounts can not. The Guest account is designed to delete files on exit, that is because it is a Guest account.
You MUST have at least one Admin account.

  • Really confused here. I have somehow created both a managed account and an administrator account. The admin acct is now highlighted in system preferences. We are now blocked from using our computer because parental controls keeps popping up.

    In attempting to add a music lesson program for my daughters band lessons we have messed up our computer. I now have both a managed account and an administrator account (both in my name).  It is using the managed account now and not letting use the Internet because parental controls keep popping up. I would like to delete the managed account and get back to the admin account but I have no idea what my login is for the admin account. We have never had to use it before this problem started and what we thought it was when we set it up does not work. Any ideas?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • Whats the link between Pur. Tables and KONH & KONP tables

    Hi!
      Whats the link between Pur. Tables i.e EKKO EKPO etc and KONH & KONP tables?
      and
      Link B'tween KONH, KONP & EINA, EINE Tables?
       and
      Link b'tween the LFA1 Table and EINA, EINE Tables?
      Link b'tween the LFA1 Table and KONH, KONP Tables?
    Pls reply guys
    Thanks,
    Imran.

    Hi Imran,
    EKKO gives you the Header data of the purchasing documents (Vendor , Dates, Etc)
    EKPO gives the item Data (The materials ordered, Qty of each material etc)
    KONP & KONH store the condition records used for price calculation
    KONH is the header data
    KONP is the item data
    EINA &  EINE -> These are Purchasing info records Used in source of supply determination & price calculations , the Condition record number for pricing is obtained from EINA & EINE
    EINA is for Purchase org level data
    EINE is for vendor level data
    The link to LFA1 is the vendor master data & while picking up the price you can have different price for different vendor .
    Hope you find it useful.
    Kindly reward helpful answers
    Best regards,

  • What is the difference between 9i standard edition and enterprise edition

    hi,
    who can tell me what is the difference between ora 9i standard edition and enterprise edition?? relevant http links are also appreciated. thank you!
    regards,
    iron teung.

    If your 'professor' really said that then I think you need to find a new college!I agree. 11g is a superset of 9i. In fact,you can tell 11g to run in 9i compatibility mode.
    >
    I firmly believe that you would do well starting with
    9i and then going through the new features with each
    release to 11g.Since 9i is officially about to start it's second year in 'Extended Support' (which, due to the surcharge in support fee, will likely see a drop-off in adoption) I would encourage anyone studying Oracle database to start with 10g.
    But the idea of starting at 9i is not bad.
    >
    'Client' is the software required to
    access/interact/maintain an Oracle database remotely
    from a client machine. Different features become
    available as you progress from Personal to Standard
    to Enterprise editions. They are cost related to
    whichever license you buy in a production environment.One point of confusion is that Personal Edition really is targeted for the Developer and therefore includes all capabilities, features and options of Enterprise Edition turned on and included in the license. (Except RAC and OEM packs) When I draw a picture, I put Personal Edition at the top as most capable.

  • Whats the difference between a combo update and using software update?

    I keep my Macbook up to date by checking regularly via software update, so far with no mishaps, but I have seen people on these forums mentioning that a it is better to download the combo updates direct from Apples website. Is this true, if so why, and what is the difference? I am thinking of installing Leopard which would then probably need updating to the current version, so what is the correct way of doing this?

    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
    And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Whats the difference between firefox 5.0 and aurora?

    i dont see any difference except the name, can you help me

    Firefox Aurora is a developmental version which is basically a testing ground for Firefox. Here is how the development cycle works in order from first release to final release:
    # Firefox Nightly
    # Firefox Aurora
    # Firefox Beta
    # Firefox Final Release
    Firefox Nightly is the cutting-edge "newest" Firefox you can have. However, it is extremely unstable, and I don't recommend downloading it unless if you're willing to risk crashing your computer. If you want to download it, however, do so on a computer in which it is not top priority. Download link here: [http://nightly.mozilla.org/ Firefox Nightly Download]
    Firefox Aurora is the next "step" in development of Firefox. It is '''not''' a separate web browser. It is the in-between step of Firefox Beta and Firefox Nightly. Although it is more stable than Firefox Nightly, it may still crash often. So don't download Firefox Aurora (remember, it's still Firefox) unless if you are willing to deal with some crashes. If you want to download it (if you don't already have it), you can download it here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/aurora/ Firefox Aurora Download]
    Firefox Beta is the next "leap" in development. It is much more stable than Aurora, but is still not the final version yet. If you want to download Firefox Beta, click here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/ Firefox Beta Download]
    At last, the final version is released to millions of users today. (If you have Aurora and not the final release, and you want to download the final release, click here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ Firefox Final Release Download])
    Hope this helps!

  • Whats the difference between a class method and a instance method.

    I have a quiz pretty soon and one of the questions will be: "How does an instance method differ from a class method." I've tried looking this up but they gave me really complicated explanations. I know what a instance method is but not really sure what a class one is. Can someone post an example of a class method and try to explain what makes it so special?

  • Whats the difference between a discount upgrade and a full upgrade

    I currently have a windows lumina smart phone.  Its up for a discounted upgrade now.  I want to upgrade to an Iphone 6 plus but what is the difference if I get the upgrade now with the discount VS waiting till it's totally due for an upgrade?  Would I pay nothing if I wait or would I still end up paying?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "it's totally due for an upgrade".  You can upgrade at any time by paying full retail price for a phone or buying a gently used phone from somewhere like swappa (or borrowing a phone from someone).  If you're eligible for a subsidized/discounted upgrade, you'd pay the two-year contract price listed on the VzW web site.  You can check your subsidized/discounted upgrade date by dialing #UPG from your cell phone.

  • Whats the difference between Info path forms and List form?

     Hello,
    Can any one please tell me when we have to use list or infopath form ?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Use a list if:
    You want to quickly get started building InfoPath forms on SharePoint
    You need to use your form offline with SharePoint Workspace (formerly Groove)
    You want to filter your SharePoint list based on a person or group
    You would like to use the built-in display / edit views
    Use a form library if:
    You have repeating or nested data
    You are working from a predefined industry or complex schema
    Your form needs to be digitally signed
    You need code in your form
    Your form is not hosted in SharePoint or you need to store results as an XML document

  • Whats the difference between 2x4GB RAM modules and 4x2GB Ram modules?

    I need 8GB of RAM. If I get 4x2GB modules it is a lot cheaper. Is there any difference in performance if I have 4x2GB Ram modules instead of 2x4GB RAM modules? They both provide 8GB? Am I missing something here?

    From MacSales.com:
    Four or More FB-DIMMs installed provides for best performance. FB DIMM technology takes advantage of multiple channel access. Apple recommends the use of 4 or more modules to take advantage of this 256-Bit Wide memory architecture. Modules must be installed in pairs, each module is 64 Bits Wide + 8 Bits for Error Correction (ECC).

    I always use the Combo; the delta only includes files/additions since the last update whereas the Combo includes everything that was added since the original 10.7. Using the Combo usually helps avoid problems.
    You can find the Combo here:
