Admin on my missing Mac account

I'm trying to change my admin password. My admin account is missing from Mac. When I on my Mac, I've seen there are secondary and only guest. Help me please

  1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click users and groups.
  2. Click on the lock icon to unlock, then enter an administrator name and password.
  3. In the preferences users and groups, click Connection Options.
  4. Click the "Auto-connect" dropdown, and then choose a user or Off.If you choose a user, then whenever the Mac turns on, the user is automatically signed. If you choose, then start up the Mac open a connection window showing all users. Automatic logon takes effect the next time that you restart the Mac. For better security, do not put your Mac to automatically connect to an administrator. If FileVault is turned on, the automatic connection is disabled.
  5. An apple article is here: OS X Yosemite: Configure users on your Mac
  6. You can delete the account secondary and comments by clicking on the sign less.

  • Can I use an ORDINARY from Mac account to load a Boot Camp Partition?

    I read the following Article on loading a Boot Camp Partition to use as a Virtual Machine in VMWare Fusion:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1014618

    I understand that I need administrator privileges to load a Boot Camp Partition in VMWare Fusion.

    But can I use a REGULAR account (Non Admin), raise my admin privileges by entering a username Admin and the password and then load my Boot Camp Partition in VMWare Fusion?

    The Article seems to imply no. because it refers only to enter an Admin password.  There is no mention to enter an Admin username.

    Can someone confirm please if I can use an ORDINARY Mac account and load a Boot Camp partition in VMWare Fusion after entering a username Admin and the password.

    Or am I have to use MAC Admin account in the first place?

    When a non-administrator user accesses an Admin-level feature in OS x, the user is presented with a combination of user name and password to authenticate.

    Then, indeed, as long as you can type the user and passes an admin user, you should be able to use BootCamp with Fusion.

  • can I delete email on mac accounts and retain their remaining icloud?

    can I delete email on mac accounts and retain their remaining icloud?

    I'm looking forward clean my OSX and I wondered if I delete accounts on mac, along withh records, etc., do I still have access to them in Icloud. (I don't know which way the sync works)

    Unless the e-mail accounts are based icloud.  That is to say, they end in @icloud.com, then without removing the Mac not keep them in iCloud because they are not in first place.

    You should always be able to access through their respective clients to Web Mail however.

    If they are based iCloud.com, then Yes you can remove form Mac and they are accessible via http://icloud.com by logging into each account there.

  • Replace .mac account shared with iCloud separate accounts.

    Hello

    I'm looking for advice on how best to clean up the mess created by our continued use of our ancient .mac account.

    My wife and I have had an account .mac since 2005.  Our e-mail addresses are aliases that are associated with this account.  It's messy.

    My wife and I would like to have separate accounts .icloud but, if possible, do not want to give up e-mail addresses that we had for 11 years.  Is this possible?  We also want to make the transition without complicating our existing .mac account settings. For example, our children now have their own accounts of .icloud that are related to the original address of .mac as part of a family sharing.

    Thank you!

    Using more an iDevice on the same computer

    This mainly applies to couples who add another device and don't want their electronic mail, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To start reading: How to use several iPhone, iPad or iPod devices with one computer. You must create a login separate Apple and password for anyone who will use the new iDevice. See Apple - my Apple ID and frequently asked questions about the Apple ID. The easiest way is to do it on the computer using iTunes: iTunes - how to set up an Apple ID iTunes.

    On the computer, create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This is the user account always uses this person. He or she will no longer use the other user account. This way the person will have a separate iTunes library. Note When finished, do not 'share' apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must buy your own applications under your own Apple ID. When you decide to divide like this you will have to buy new applications they want to use.

    First, transfer the new devices to a new account as well as all your data.  Save pictures of flow picture you want to keep for your camera (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap Albums icon at the bottom. Now press the album My Photo Stream; Press Select; tap the photo you want to select. tap the share (box with the face up arrow) in the lower left corner icon; in the film, and then click Save.

    If you synchronize notes with iCloud, you want to keep, you must open each of your notes and email it to yourself. Later, you can copy and paste the text into the new notes created in your new account.

    Tap Settings > iCloud > remove account (removes it only from this device, not iCloud; the person who maintains the current account is not affected) provide the password to disable find my phone and choose to keep on my iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with another Apple ID to create your new account. Choose merge to download your data.

    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and remove data from the other person to your account.

  • Can't access iTunes purchases with an old .mac account

    Hi all

    I used to have a .mac account in the old days and I bought a number of songs on iTunes using this account. When they turned off the .mac addresses I've migrated to the new system (which I am using to write this post). I just tried to play one of these old tunes, and he said that I was not allowed to play. So I tried to enter the address of .mac using the iCloud and he says that the account has been locked and he would send me an e-mail. The only valid option seems to be the old .mac email address.

    Is it possible to access the email message that they (probably) was sent on the old .mac email address?

    The end of the game is to get into this account and re - authorize all my songs to my new account, but the first step is to get there in the first place.

    @mac.com addresses have not stopped. I use mine to this day. @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com al e-mails, end up in your mailbox to the current iCloud email account.

    What I suspect is happening in your case, is that you've changed, or rather, add a new account Apple ID. For load of reflow or authorize your purchases made with the former Apple ID, you need to log in iTunes Store using this code from Apple.

    To check which was Apple ID used for the purchase of any article, read the file (cmd + I) information.

  • An admin password for thousands of accounts on a website... Is there any Add on Manager password that it inserts automatically for any username?

    I am a support agent and I got a task that requires the connection to 4000 + user accounts with my admin password. After you enter the password manually for the 150th time I started to wonder if there is a better way to do it.

    Is there any password manager that will automatically put the same password - all - user name on a specific Web site?

    Update:
    I just found an auto with the password field: https://addons.mozilla.org/uk/firefox/addon/autofill-262804/ , it was easier than I thought.

  • Howw can I use extensions I have installed as the admin for a standard user account? When I go on my Add ons under the standard user, no script is not an option. Thank you

    Hi, I'm using Vista and Firefox 3.6. I installed some popular addons such as no script and the web page of the trust for the admin account, but when I connect under the standard account with fewer rights, I do not have them available. The only way I can get to run is to right click and run as administrator which defeats the purpose to log on as a standard user. Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Missing Mac 8.1 Windows partition and Bootcamp

    So, I have seen very similar messages and followed several forums, but I can't yet figure out what to do next.

    I have 8.1 Windows on my Mac.  I wanted to repartition the Windows partition and make bigger it because I was running low on space, and the Windows partition is what I use it mostly for graduate studies.  About a year ago, I took an easy youtube video and used Mini Wizard Partition re-partition space and it worked perfectly.  I have found the same video and tried to repartition the Windows partition again, but apparently I royally screwed up.

    My BootCamp is not yet visible more in disk utility.  Under the partitions, there is an option called "disk0s4" greyed, but I'm not allowed to do something with it.  I can't verify or repair.  If I go to Applications, BootCamp Assistant is there, but he wants me to start the installation of BootCamp.  It was not an option to restart Windows more, and when I turned on with alt + market, Windows was not an option more.

    I followed this tutorial:

    http://nerdr.com/bootcamp-partition-lost-repairing-Mac-partitions/

    and when I restarted my Mac, restart Windows was an option. So I thought that I fixed it! EVIL.  My screen was black and said: 'Missing Operating System '.

    I downloaded EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac (because it was another suggestion), and I was able to recover and see the files on the NTFS disk0s4, so I'm quite positive, they have not all been completely erased.  Or at least the part of basic Windows is still there.  I can't recover the drive to anything, because it tells me that I will just be fitness on the same drive, and I honestly don't know how to retrieve these files will help with the side of the partition of things.

    I also used TestDisk and it seemed to find my missing partition, but in the middle of analysing it, it says something like "disk too small."  After further research, I went through and took only the most recent score that seemed to be deleted with NTFS, and when you are trying to do, it would allow me to make a 'logic' partition because he said something in red, as 'bad file.'

    My Mac still works perfectly, but I'm terribly need to recover my windows.  All suggestions are useful!  Thank you!

    Hey djb72563,

    I understand that you have recently changed the password for your Yahoo account and need to update. To do this, go to System Preferences > Internet accounts. This will allow you to change this information, and it will update this Mail and other applications that use this account. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • I forgot the password to my old computer admin, and he has 1 account to it. What can I do to cross it and unlock my computer without drop kick to it through my 3rd floor balcony window lmao.

    Although even I have now a new computer, still I'd like having my old 1 as a back-up if this 1 crashes ever, there is only 1 account on it and I forgot the password of admin for it. I tried to restart it in safe mode if all goes well to bypass the password admin start-up section, but surprise! always had a password and when I type the password reset link under the password box that he told me that I need a password reset disk where can I get 1 of them and I can get very cheap 1 because I am disabled and cannot work more:(si im limité sur combien dépenser chaque mois.) It also requires a USB and not a disc, the brand and the model is an Acer Aspire 5610 with windows vista home premium.

    Hello DOWG pepper,.

    Unfortunately Microsoft forbids us to give instructions on how to work around/hack admin password. There are ways, but we are not allowed to disclose. As this is an old PC, maybe the best thing for you to do is re - install windows on this computer.

    On the reset disk, you will need to create one of these yourself by opening the control panel and clcikcing on user account icon. In user accounts, look to the left of the window and you will see a list of tasks. The first is create a reset disk.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • I forgot my Windows 7 password WITHOUT having access to the admin via the fingerprint reader account...

    I forgot my password of Windows 7. I have access to my laptop as an administrator with a fingerprint reader. I would like to cancel or change my password of Win7, but it seems I can't without knowing. Under: Control Panel, user account, change password, need allowing you to type the password before you can change or cancel it. Help! Is there any solution to this? I fear the day jumps to scan fingerprints and I'm stuck on my laptop. Thank you!

    So feel free.  Use your current access to create two new admin accounts & create password reset for them drives.

    If you do not already have, then create a password reset disk for your user account to the daily as well. Alternatively, if it is the one that you forgot the password, create a new user and account & use the admin account to save your data.

    I also write my passwords & keep waste paper in a safe place.

    I suggest two admins like any profile can get damaged.  If a user account profile is corrupt, you can get with an admin account to save the data.  If an administrator account is corrupted so you need a spare admin account to enter to save the system.

  • BlackBerry Bold 9000, Sync smartphone for missing mac using Sync

    just upgraded to a 8800 with a 9000 and I see no end of questions

    I try to sync my 9000 to my macbook using the missing sync, the 8800 t - it no problem just plug-and-play.

    When I try to do with the 9000 the lack of synchronization screen, the battery symbol indicates the load for about 2 seconds and then it comes down to just showing the battery symbol that the phone is not connected to the load.

    When I try to sync the phone missing sync returns an error indicating that the phone is not connected, in the finder, the phone does not appear as a drive.

    So far, I did a soft reset on the 9000, out the battery and restarted.

    I have reset and restarted the Mac.

    I checked to see that I have the latest version of the missing sync software

    everything seems to be in order, but can anyone come up with any other suggestions, I slowly come to the conclusion that the phone is down

    Please see the other thread we have going on this.

    Missing Sync does not work with the "BOLD", even though they say that they "support"... all they do is opening tickets error for all the world and indicating that they cannot understand it. At most, you might be able to get your calendars and tasks synchronization and notes if you only use MarkSpace notes. Nothing doesn't sync properly to the Entourage from, so only use your applications native mac. Contacts are damaged. Sync once and never sync them again - will erase your office contacts.

    If you are using a Macbook (late 2008), Macbook Pro or macbook Air, there is NO support synchronization at this time for Missing Sync and the BB "BOLD". Lack of precise timing are aware of this, they have no estimates for an update.

    If you get no link at all - try to open Missing Sync first, then connect. Try a different USB port. Try to uninstall your old version of MS, and reinstall a new copy after a restart of your computer.

    See the other thread for suggestions and advice. People are displayed the same questions without reading the other, and now we have 3 of them. There is one that is two pages with ideas and experiences of others.
