(Admin) is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

So I got a Mac on OS X El Capitan and I can't use sudo from the admin; Yes the main admin, I repeat, ADMIN account. Whenever I use a sudo command, the error message appears.

«(Name of the Admin) is not in the sudoers file.»  This incident will be reported. »

How can I fix? This is not ordinary.

First of all, it is not a "main ADMIN' - it is not Windows. Any user can be configured to administer the Mac. Nothing is special about one.

As for the sudoers file, if you do not have an account that can access (including your admin, again, the ADMIN can not), you cannot change it.

There are several ways to create a new admin account. And here's one: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/164331/i-don ' t-have-administrator-account t-on-my-mac

When you say, «so I got a Mac...» "Do you mean that you're someone else, used a Mac?

If Yes, then you should just start Internet recovery, wipe the drive completely and reinstall OS X. That will fix the problem for you and all the others left by the previous owner.

    Hi tonyf,.

    Greetings!

    Each device is compatible with a minimum version of camera raw.

    Here is the complete list: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

    Please check if you have this version of the camera installed which include your raw files.

    It would also be that your photoshop will not have to install this version of camera raw as its very old.

    In this case, you can convert your raw files to DNG and can use it.

    To convert the files to DNG, you must download and install the DNG Converter.

    Here is the link:

  • Combine files to a single PDF does not recognize the .ai files. If this happens?

    Im working with .ai files and I was wondering if I were to convert before a meet in a single PDF file? When I "Combine files into a single PDF" the finder window does not display the .ai files. I was wondering if that is supposed to happen? It is absolutely necessary first convert them to PDF format?

    You can always store as .ai files and should. But create a PDF file for the feature of the combine. Just to be sure, have you tried to open a .ai file in Acrobat (not combine) and doing a job? I do not suspect. If this isn't the case, then it is clear that you must first create the PDF file for the graphic illustrator. Acrobat cannot convert automatically all types of files as PDF documents, but only selected application files. I'm not sure that the illustrator files are a selected application. You seem to assume that Acrobat should be able to open any file and it is not the case.

  • Error #5001: The name of package 'mapTools' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the pa

    OK, it's a simple question. I have a mapTools package defined in the MapManager.as ActionScript file, as shown in the attached code. The directory structure looks lke this:

    C:\
    -\engine
    -------Media
    -\Flash
    -\mapTools
    -MapManager.as
    --------------------------- MAP.fla

    If the MapManager.as and MAP.fla files are in the same directory. So I open MAP.fla and when I do TestMovie I get this error:

    "5001: the name of package 'mapTools' does not reflect the location of this file." Please change the name of the definition of the package inside this file, or move the file. C:\engine\media\Flash\mapTools\MapManager.as ".

    What is the cause of this error?



    If she is the document class, replace the fla in mapTools and remove mapTools the package name.

  • Can not find the downloaded file

    I regularly download files, and they will 'always' in the same directory. Now, I downloaded fedora-live-workstation-i686-22-3.iso
    of https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/and (a) I didn't get the usual "save/open" Download dialog and (b) I can not find the downloaded file. The < downloads - tools > FF screen displays the file as downloaded, but not (AFAICT) where he was placed.

    Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you.

    (OP) Well, I downloaded the same file again and this time everything went as it should. For example, some of my 'facts' above must be wrong, but I don't know who. I suspect some personal deficiencies.

    When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.

    When the download is complete, try double-clicking on the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from the desktop). This should start the installation.

    If, in the Explorer window, you notice that the file seems to be missing the Firefox icon orange/blue, right click the file and select Properties. The image should look like the attached picture (except that mine is in Danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it don't look like this, would you please describe the content or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File Type" - it must be 'program '. If this isn't the case, will have to focus on what could be the problem here.

    A bit off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit outdated (IE 6, where the current version is IE 8), so I highly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system up to date. Is it as a society (such as a thin client Terminal Server computer) system, this is not possible, and most likely, your system administrator will have to help you.

  • Error message Microsoft Word "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk. »

    I have a MacBook Pro, retina 13inch OS X el Capitan Version 10.11.1 with 16 GB of memory. It's brand new and I have recently installed Microsoft Word/Powerpoint etc. a disc that I bought a few years to my previous MacBook. It seems to work very well, but whenever I want to open a word document a message comes up saying "Word could not create the work file. Check the amount of disk space on your startup disk '. However, once I click 'OK' this message disappears and my word file opens without a problem. I have 16 GB of memory on this laptop and it's new I have not reached anywhere near the maximum amount of storage so I'm puzzled as to what this message means. How can I avoid that this message popping up everytime I open Microsoft Word? Any help would be appreciated!

    This has nothing to do with memory - it's the SSD. Word tries to create a temporary file to use as a backup if the program crashes while you are working. First, run the Microsoft Update program to see if there are updates you have missed. Second, Microsoft currently supports only versions 2011 and 2016, so if yours is older, you should consider the upgrade. Thirdly, I suspect that the temporary file is not get created so that you have fewer cancellations (maybe any) and that if the program crashes you have to restore.

    variable. I am alos having other problems in Word. Help, I can't find all the answers!

    Follow the steps below at our own risk.  Set a restore point before doing this. Make a mistake in the registry can have bad results

    In your registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Cache Database Cache data value must be %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

    Close all programs. Then in the registry editor, once you get in the folder above, right click on "Cache", make a left-click on "Change", paste in "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" (without the quotes), on the left, click 'Ok' close the editor of the register. Restart the PC.

    This should solve your problem.

    - Http://blogs.msdn.com/powlo/archive/2007/01/01/fix-for-error-outlook-could-not-create-the-work-file.aspx

    a. start-> Run-> enter "regedit" and press "Enter" to run the program to change registry variables.

    b. navigate to the folder-> "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Cache"

    c. check the values of variables [for everything in the "User Shell Folders" folder] - all the variable should have values from '% USERPROFILE%\ '. ». Any variable that is not of this starting point is probably damaged. In my case, all variables corrupt has been a correspondent of "Backup_VariableName". Example: my variable "cache" was damaged when there is a variable called 'backup_cache' with the correct values

    d. change the value of variables corrupt to correct the values. Example of change variable value "cache" in "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" and so on.

    e. close all of Ms Office programs, and turn. The problem should be solved now.
