Why is my admin account log in disappearing after restart?

I have one admin, one standard and a guest account in my MacBook Pro, Mac OS Mavericks. When I restart or turn off and back on, I don't see my primary admin account log in. I only see the standard account and a guest account. All I can do now is log in through the standart accoung and change the account through the menu bar. It does not happen until I log off or restart. Can anyone help?

It sounds like you activated FileVault and only enabled the standard account to unlock the startup volume.
To enable other local users to unlock the volume at startup, see the heading
Letting other users unlock the drive
in this support article. Note that the Enable Users... button only appears if there is at least one user left to enable. There's an illustrated set of instructions here.

Why is it that the Facetime icon disappeared after i changed my sim from qatar vodafone number to philippines smart number? How can i reactivate my facetime?

Why is it that the Facetime icon disappeared after i changed my sim from qatar vodafone number to philippines smart number? How can i reactivate my facetime?

Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

Local copy idisk folders added to sidebar disappear after restart

Folders from a local idisk copy added to the finder sidebar continually disappear after restart. Any idea how to prevent this?

a workaround:
you can lock this file via command + i
Library > Preferences > com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
to keep your sidebar setting,
then reboot
or
open Terminal and write:
defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem 1 < this will add a Quit command to the Finder
then:
killall Finder
Quit the Finder via Command + Q every time you mount iDisk...
it works for me, use at your own risk

Ogging into admin account, logs straight back out

After logging into the main (admin) account on the laptop, the spinning beachball comes up, and then the account logs out. No problems logging into a guest account.

Try holding down the shift key when logging in to the problem account. That will disable login items. Post back what happens.

High level description of why an Enterprise Admin account is required for DirSync config

Hi all,
I understand that as part of the Azure AD Sync tool config wizard you are required to enter the credentials of an Enterprise Admin account. These credentials are required for the creation of the MSOL_AD_Sync service account within the Users OU of Active
Directory. This account is granted read and synchronization permissions to the local Active Directory.
Is someone able to provide a high-level description of what this actually means i.e exactly which permissions are granted and on which objects. Are we talking about having to modify the permissions of every single object within Active Directory?
Many thanks in advance,
Graham

Hi,
To start with, I guess you would know that this is a Kind of a Temporary.
I have some details from previous conversations and blogs
Hope this puts some light on your query.
When configuring the Microsoft Online Services Directory Synchronization Tool, you are asked to provide the credentials for an account that has
Enterprise Admin permissions on your organization's local Active Directory directory service. It accepts credentials in either of the following forms:
[email protected]
Example\someone
These Enterprise Administrator credentials are not saved. They are erased from the computer's memory after the service account is created.
How the Active Directory Credentials Are Used
The Microsoft Online Services Directory Synchronization Tool Configuration Wizard uses the Enterprise Admin credentials to create the directory
synchronization service account, MSOL_AD_Sync. This service account is created as a domain account with directory replication permissions on your local Active Directory and with a randomly generated complex password that never expires.
Note:
Changing the password associated with the service account is not recommended.
How the Service Account Is Used
When the directory synchronization service runs, it uses the service account credentials to read from your local Active Directory and write to the
synchronization database. The contents of the synchronization database are written to Microsoft Online Services using the Microsoft Online Services credentials requested on the
Microsoft Online Services Credentialspage of the Microsoft Online Services Directory
Synchronization Tool Configuration Wizard.
Note:
If you add a domain to your Active Directory forest, you must run the Microsoft Online Services Directory Synchronization Tool Configuration Wizard
again to add the new domain to the list of domains to be synchronized.
Thanks & Regards

Custom desktop picture disappears after restart

Ever since I purchased my MacBook Pro my custom desktop picture disappears after a restart. I select a photo either from the internet or my iphoto library and when I reboot the computer it goes back to the original desktop pattern, my photo is gone. Has anybody noticed the same problem on theirs and if so, have you found a solution? Its not a big deal, mostly goes under 'curious why this happens and how can I fix it' category . . .

Try running the combo update.
10.9.4 Combo Update
If that doesn't work, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Downloaded applications disappear after restarting?

Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this is the best community to post this question. But here goes.
I have several applications I bought online which seem to continually disappear on restart. At first I thought I imagined it, or I did something wrong. But now I can see it happens continually when I do a full shut down, at least on several applications.
Specifically, I notice it happens with my VPN client and with Skype. A full search of my computer will only find the downloaded .dmg files for both applications. (It could be happening with more apps, but these are the ones I use frequently, so these are the ones I notice.)
I just reinstall, but it isn't very convenient.
Any idea why this would be happening and how to prevent it?
Puzzled...
Cheryl

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Do you run the apps from the DMG file or you copy the apps to the Applications folder? You must copy them to Applications. If not, you will lose them because you are running them from their DMG

Changes in Bundle.js file are disappear after restarting the UCM

Good Day,
I add some javascript code in bundle.js file within the following path: domain_home\ucm\cs\weblayout\resources\bundle.js .
the changes are reflected fine on the UCM, but once the UCM Server restated the changes are gone and the file revert back as is; without my changes.
the code that i want to add is:
if ((typeof Range !== 'undefined') && !Range.prototype.createContextualFragment) {
Range.prototype.createContextualFragment = function(html) {
var frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
var div = document.createElement('div');
frag.appendChild(div);
div.outerHTML = html;
return frag;
i want to add it because i have a javascript error like this: Object doesn't support property or method 'createContextualFragment', this erro occured when the used version of Internet Explorer is V.9. ; no javascript errors appears on Version 8. when i add this piece of javascript to the bundle.js file, it the error is gone and everything goes fine, but as i said earlier after restarting the UCM the added javascript code is gone and disappear from the bundle.js file.
For that reason i want to ask, is there is a way to keep my code and stay as is even after restarting? Or is the file uploaded on restart from another path?
Any Suggestions?

This is actually quite simple to explain:
- domain_home\ucm\cs\weblayout\resources is a directory that holds runtime version of resources
- if you want to make your changes persistent, you will need to do it in a source directory. In 11g there are two source directories; one for standard components, and the other for custom ones. You should use the latter
- in fact, if you create a custom component with Component Wizard, make your changes there and activate the component, you should be done. The only another thing you should pay attention to is the loadOrder parameter of your resource - it should be higher to get applied.

Input source disappears after restart or log out. How to fix it?

I use two input sources: U.S. and Russian-PC. But recently the Russian-PC started to disappear everytime I restart the iMac or just log out and log in back. Instead of Russian-PC there is Russian which is inconvinient to use. So I always have to open language and text preferences unchek Russian, check Russian-PC.
I have tried to change language preferences on root user but it did not help.
Does somebody know how to fix it?

Well Bababooey if you're comparing yourself to a Apple Genius Bar then you should already know my answer, your snarky remark get a snarky reply. Why would I go to a salesperson to fix my computer problem when I can go directly go to the source itself. I used to sell Apple computers over 8 years ago and was apple certified before the Genius bar existed. If I am to go about fixing an issue I can't fix on my own I will go to the source itself meaning Apple's programmers and developers - being UI UX Developer myself I know they should have QA'd all platforms and troubleshooted any arising issues.
This was also the first time in the 20 years I've been using a Mac that I even attempted to go on this forum which i thought would put me in connection with a certified Apple representative. This turned out to be a complete waste of time just being a public forum with no Apple employee involved. I was hoping to find a quick fix but in turn I was only frustrated with stupid responses such as yours that were in no way an answer to my original question.
BTW I fixed the issue on my own and without your help or Apples help. I'm glad if all forums point here regarding this issue because I now have the answer. The answer I was looking for from someone earlier was as simple as this {Download Maverick and reinstall the platform - it will take an hour to do but afterward 10.9.2 was installed and my computer is now able to shutdown and restart without having to do a hard boot.} No more software update bar at top and no problems with my drive which I told both you and Grant - I know my computer better than you and I've probably been using them longer than you.
So again Babowa you were so wrong...... and I am right.
Again anyone having the same problem, I suggest reinstalling Maverick and you'll be suprised 10.9.2 will work fine.

Outlook email account disappeared after restarting

Today my husband shutdown and restarted his Mac Pro as it was running slow and he hadn't turned it off for a few days. When he reopened Microsoft Outlook the entire email account was gone. He tried going back into Time Capsule to last night but nothing would work and then all the other Office programs disappeared. Apple support could only help so much, then they said to ring Microsoft. No help there, they put us onto Log Me In Rescue support and we have paid for them to try and fix it but they are having no luck at all.
They said our system has been hacked which we didn't think could happen on a Mac. We only had POP emails set up not exchange. Can anyone offer any support at all.
Cheers in advance

I went back to him and this morning we had checked in the identities folder as you suggested and there was nothing in there. Checking again tonight there are files in there, but what we do with them we don't know. It could be from when to remote help people were reinstalling tonight.
What we have just discovered, and this was not there this morning, he went into Finder and All my files. It breaks things into different sections. There was a section saying Mail and messages and there are over 13,000 items in there and all his contacts are now there. We are not sure how they got there or how to get it back to Outlook. He went to do the rebuild but there are two identity options, and we are worried about making a mistake. Not sure what is going on.
I have spent so much time in these forums and others trying to help and I am a person that is shocking with computers. I thank you for your help so far. Still playing with it and I booked him a session at the apple store tomorrow as well.
I just have to say how appreciative I am of the time you have given in trying to suggest solutions to our problem. There are so many people that just won't help.
Cheers,

Why does Firefox keep me logged into websites after closing and reopening the browser?

As of today, Firefox has been behaving differently. Namely, when I close Firefox and reopen, I am still logged in to email and other sites. I have all of my privacy settings checked, such as clear history, offline data, form history, etc etc so that they all will be deleted upon closing but this has no effect. Can someone provide insight as to why this is happening and how I can correct it? Before today, after closing and reopening the browser I was required to log in to any sites requiring UN and PW.
I have rechecked all history deletion options to make sure all the appropriate ones were selected. Yesterday, I noticed inbox.com and a program called 24x7 Help were installed on the computer, without my knowledge. I promptly uninstalled them,but I'm not sure if they could somehow be responsible for the odd behavior.

Such a behavior indicates that you keep the cookie(s) that verify that you are logged on to a web server.
Are you using session restore to open those tabs automatically?
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
You can set the <b>browser.sessionstore.privacy_level</b> pref to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
You can change the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref that is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

Did you look at this previous discussion that I provided in my first reply?
ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
It say how to use a iTunes version 10.6.3 with OSX 10.5.8 and sync with iOS 5.
OSX 10.6.8 is a paid upgrade for $29 but requires an Intel Mac. That last OSX for a Power PC G4 or G5 is 10.5.8.

My Mail accounts in Mail Disappeared it restarted from hanging. The mailboxes I found at the Library, how do I put it back into MAIL?

Please Help, My MAIL has been hanging, so I forced Quit the program, and restarted my iMac. When I opened Mail again, all the e-mail accounts both POP and IMAP accounts disappeared. Fortunately, I found the POP- Accounts in the library folder but I don't know how to link it back to MAIL. Can somebody help me put my e-mail accounts back to MAIL.

I have tried several tests to see whether I could duplicate your problem. And so far I haven't been able to.
For example: I take my project files and drag them out of their project folder into a different drive (to the root level of the drive). Then I delete that original project folder. I create a new folder in the second drive and rename it to something completely different. I then drag my individual project files and folder into this new folder.
I repeat the process with the reference event – making a new, renamed event folder on the second drive and dragging the individual files into it. Then hiding the original event folder.
When I open FCP, it not only sees the renamed project, it is still linked to the renamed event.
So I'm not sure whether all that's encouraging or discouraging.
It seems to me that if you rename your original back up file (the one with the date) to Currentversion and then hide the other, it should appear in your project library in FCP.
As far as Time Machine is concerned, it all depends on your preference settings. Open TM and se what your last BU was.
Good luck.
Russ

Why do the site's propietary icons disappear after dragging to the taskbar?

I've found a site I absolutely need in my taskbar, when I drag the icon down the link is there but the icon has been lost somewhere. The icons are usually proprietary so I can't even edit the quicklaunch to find the image. Why does this happen, and how can it be fixed? Vista OS/FF ver. 6.0.2

If you can't change the icon on the Taskbar or Quick Launch bar then drag the favicon or link on the desktop and change the icon there via the right-click context menu > Properties.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools > Page Info > Media and save the icon.
