Admin does not count completely administrator

Hello

I just do a fresh install of the latest version of Mac OS X (10.11.4) yesterday and I set up all my accounts, applications, plugins, etc.

I met a problem when I wanted to install my VPN client. The installer would not lance. I contacted their support and they suggested that my account privileges were defective. I had to do a second admin account and try to run the installer it.

I tried this and it worked! The installer would launch as it should. This means however that my first created account (created when you set up when you first start) is broken and not completely an admin from my laptop. The check mark from the admin is checked in the settings of the system, but apparently due to a bug I am not allowed to run .pkg installers or authenticate the VPN client to change my network configurations. When I get the pop-up to enter my password it just comes back. I also tried to use the account name and the password of the second account, but it does not work either.

I could move all my stuff on the newly created account, but that would mean I have to reconfigure everything. It would be very boring, because I did all this and it's a lot of work.

Someone here who has the same kind of problem? Or someone who knows how I can get my return permissions, or use the second account to authenticate the changes?

Thanks in advance!

Henk

PS: I use a Macbook Air, mid-2012, 256 GB SSD, 8 GB RAM, i7 processor.

I came across administrative accounts that are damaged over time, and while there might be ways to fix permanently, I don't know if these solutions work in the long term. My experience with this is all first what you did and what you're doing now are reluctant to do, which is migrating from the old account to the new as it will deal with any problem hiding maybe you will see down the line.

What do not stress is that you creat now with Time Machine before performing a backup if you have not already

migrate the old account to the new, then delete the old account and make an archive of it.

reboot into the new account

 > Preferences system... > users and groups

Select the old account, tap on ' - '.

Follow the prompt to make a copy of the account when it is deleted.

  • Run as admin does not

    Run as Admin does not (UAC active), I get an error that says: Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  • IP ISP lease time does not count on E3000 router

    Hi all...

    I just installed an E3000 router and have updated the firmware on the support site. I noticed that when I look at the router status page, the term of the lease IP ISP seems to be stuck and does not count down. When I reboot the router time will change, but it does not change as it should without a restart or a Relase and survivor.

    I am connected to the service of Time Warner Road Runner as my ISP...

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Is this a known issue?

    Routers Linksys tells you only when the term of the lease ends.

  • System does not accept the administrator password when you want to delete file system

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: I downloaded bandoo and Yahoo since then I had nothing else problems. It's not my computer that I use, but I don't have the permission from the owners to use this computer. I have no problem signing into my account, it is impossible to connect and it does not recognize its administrator password to remove these items from the computer. I tried all that I know (which isn't much). Please please help me!    Also, I think that's why I can't return and before restore point I made this big mistake.

  • System Restore: what point I choose theactionalways does not restore complete

    What point I choose theactionalways does not restore complete

    Try to restore the system in Safe Mode.

    Shut down your pc (if you can't for some reason any then press and hold in the power switch until the pc shurs)

    Now start pc you and start immediately to press the key F8.

    you will be presented with a new screen where you can choose Safe mode (use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate through the screen)

    Now restore your system.

    * Very often Norton users have problems, perform a system restore, an error of "restoration incomplete... your computer can not be restored"would be seen after trying a restore point. " New versions of Norton have a setting where you can uncheck/disable 'symprotect anti-forgery protection. " ... older versions have "enable protection for my Symantec product." ... Uncheckiing should be temporarily. Unchecking these settings would mean you wouldn't need to go into safe mode to try the restore.

  • How adobe does not count the activations?

    How adobe does not count the activations of computer for this product.  I activated 2 computers, disabled 2 computers and then tried to activate another, only to be told that I got too many activations.  I tried to use my new Sony reader and was told by Sony that it was a question of adobe.  I talked to adobe to be told that it was a computer problem.  I have a new Christmas gift which is totally unusable!  We should be able to understand it!

    Please give me some help here!  It was a very expensive gift to have just sitting around.  I should have gotten the KINDLE!

    You should only withdraw the authorization if:

    -You give the computer

    or

    -You must decidied use a different AdobeID (and give up books associated with the old AdobeID).

    This is the last that can cause you a problem as Sony software

    I guess at this point you have submtted a case of taking in charge of web ( http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions click on 'Submit a web case')

    Reset the number of activations is a relatively simple application, that our support team can support, and who should get so that you can re-enable the computers.

  • software installed as that user admin does not work when logged in as standard user

    Running a desktop computer dell with XP SP3 home edition with no possibility of wifi

    Bought the USB adapter wireless and successfully installed the software and connected to the router connected as a user with administrator rights. When I connect software standard user being their but does not connect to the router. ? Standard user family security enabled, I disables it, but it makes no difference.

    Thanks for your suggestion, yes tried and it works when I connect as long as the user admin with a password even if I'm in the standard account. However he does not remember the settings, so whenever you access the standard account you must connect as admin users that would amount to giving the password to the admin of my grandson who defeats the object to have its own user account.

    But I solved the problem, when I looked in C:\documents and setting\admin data User, I found the folder for the software with an ini configuration file and a profile ini file. The profile ini file was missing in the same application for standard user folder. When I copied the file across and made a minor change to the standard user configuration ini file is the file of users admin everything works fine

  • System does not close completely down.

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion laptop, G6, with Windows 8, and it seems not entirely closed. It will go to the closure of screen and then the screen turns white and the laptop seems to be in a low power state. Start button / stop is turned on and the Wifi button.

    I tried:

    • Removing battery
    • System restore
    • Remove the battery and hold the power button for 20 seconds

    Any help would be popular!

    Appreciation,

    Windows 8 comes with diagnostic tools very good - if you have not had previous experiences, their execution, this is probably a time familiarizing yourself with the Toolbox:

    Laptop computers HP - test of hardware failures (Windows 8) - c03467259

    The issuemight be if the system shutdown due to software, in other words, something in the environment of OS, then it might be in the BIOS (down a real operating system level) or in the material.

    This does not mean you na not miss something in the operating system-, but there are tools to help you refine the hotbeds of tension of material possible and eliminate these in the list.

    What to do next?

    If the extracted material - if you can't find the problem, if the problem is hardware, or if the question remains a mystery and you're ready to throw your computer out the window beautful - wait!

    You didn't have the system very long if you're running Windows 8 on - call HP directly for assistance.  If the system experiences a hardware failure, the call earlier rather than later is better.  It will not very long to fix.

    Before you call HP:

    Run the command "SFC/scannow" at startup or in Windows 8

    • Make sure all your drivers are up to date - they are, or you wouldn't ask for help - it's basic Admin 101.

    Start by creating a place to which you can go back in case things do not work as you expect:

    Create a restore point

    Install the software and drivers from the HP site

    Go to the top of the page of the forum Support and drivers HP

    • If you are prompted, enter your country or region and
    • Enter your computer model information
    • Access to the software and drivers...
    • Enter your operating system from the menu drop-down...  Scroll to the bottom
    • Select the desired category Software - Solutions > driver - keyboard, mouse and input devices

    NOTE: Download ONLY the concerned drivers and software for YOUR hardware - note that in the website you can find more than one kind of driver for more than one computer model - it's normal, but it does not mean that YOUR computer uses all proposed software.

    • Develop and decide if you need to install this package.
    • Make sure that you download and install only the latest versions of each driver or program.
    • Save the Setup *.exe appropriate on your computer package

    NOTE name and location -likely the *.exe file to save to "downloads".

    • Install the software / driver installation package: If you have control of "Admin", you can highlight the package and "double-click" to install, if not right click, select "Run as Administrator" and install.

    NOTE: sometimes there is a lot of information in the computer Web site.  Take a look at what's available and bookmark the page later.

    ==================================================================================

    If you decide to update your BIOS,

    • Disconnect all the USB drives
    • Always run power cable
    • Do not touch the system while the update is in progress
    • Optional: leave wireless touch YOU, but turn off the router (make sure that there is no interruption)

    ===================================================================================

    • Make sure your system is saved AND make an Image of your system in case you need to send to the computer for repair:

    History of files is very easy to use.  He works on 'Libraries' and essentially backup of your default user account.  To add a folder to your libraries, right-click on > add to library > if you have the 'create new library '.  Pouf!  The folder is added to the history of the file backup.

    If you do not have a hot spare hanging out for your file history to write, buy a 64 GB USB key and use it - Poof! Instant historical destination of files disk.

    A custom Image for the 'rest' of your computer - Nice:

    It's the Windows 8 Refresh , which also backs up your programs / applications.

    Create a custom recovery tool to update your PC in Windows 8

    When you call HP:

    Have your information at your fingertips: product number, serial number, contract number (if you have CarePack)

    • Be prepared to tell your story to more than one person.
    • Be polite, persistent and articlulate.  Don't waste time yelling at the tech.  They have lives.
    • If you do not speak to someone who understands your problem, ask to speak to someone else.  You have the right to be heard.
    • Be Polite, persistent and be prepared to repeat yourself (as I do here).

    Good luck!

  • Store does not recognize my administrator user account when you try to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows

    I bought an Inspiron 17 7737 directly from dell.com on 05/12/2013.  It was delivered 12/182013.  The operating system was Windows 8.  I had assumed that he would have the last version of Windows when it has happened since 8.1 was released in October. I opened the app Store and the Windows 8.1 upgrade was not available for me.  I realized it was one problem for others and that he has not pursued further at that time.  I was out of town for 2 weeks in January and has not used the laptop during this 2 week period.  When I got home, I opened the store and found placed prominently on the invitation to the free update to 8.1. I signed up using the administrator account and when I hit the download button for 8.1. I received the message "You must use an account with administrator privileges to install Windows 8.1, try connecting with the user of an administrator on this PC account and try the update again".  I checked my account has administrator privileges and tried again and got the same message. I created another user account and gives privileges to administrator and try the download again signed on this account and received the same message.  I called technical support and for more than 5 hours on 2 different days, the technician tried to solve the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the Windows updates. When that has not resolved the problem, it "refreshed" my PC which I understood to be given to the State at the time of delivery. He had to do all the Windows (about 65) updates and tried to re-download 8.1.  This does not change the error message when you try to download at 8.1.  At that time, I was told that they were raising a technical team that search every newspaper in my machine and find a solution.  They said they'd call me at the time where there is a solution. Although my administrator account has not been recognized during an attempt to make the download 8.1, it acknowledged the role of the administrator when the technician needed administrative approval to all uninstall and reinstall activities in trying to solve the problem.

    Everyone knows about this problem?  It is resolved, and if so, how is it resolved?

    You are not alone. Many have had the same problem with no resolution. I think there's something funny to do with user accounts. Making a second account with admin privleges does not work. I would try to reinstall the operating system of hidden image and try again. A refresh like tried Dell will not do because it retains much of the data before the update; you need a clean start. Do nothing witht the account Admin other than to let Windows put up and set your password. All updates must be installed before the upgrade is displayed in the store. I have improved five facilities to win 8 and have had zero problems.

  • Firefox does not close completely.

    So since I have updated to the new Firefox it does not completely close when I hit X to close. Then the next time I go to open it it says something like ' Firefox is open but does not close it before trying to open it again. Has not done this before and is getting pretty annoying having to open my task manager everytime I want to open Firefox.

    Is this a new problem with the new update, or something else in conflict?

    In case you use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' and then try to disable this feature.

    • Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "Use the custom settings for history": [] 'clear history of Firefox closing. "
