  'Cleaning' apps are scams. Extract of effective defenses against software malware and other threats:

  • Never install a product that claims to 'clean up', 'speed', 'optimize', 'boost' or 'speed up' your Mac; to "wash", "tune" or to make it "brilliant". These allegations are absurd.
    • These products are marketed very aggressively. They are all scams.
    • They usually operate on the erroneous premise that Mac builds 'junk' that must be systematically 'cleaned' for optimum performance.
    • Trial versions of these programs are successful because they provide more instant gratification of free space on the disk.
    • This increased space is the result of irreversible destruction of files, programs or operating system components normally protected against accidental tampering or removal. The eventual result will be the reliable operation, poor performance and random crashes that may not become evident for months, or even years after their use, when updates of programs or OS X are finally released.

• ~/Applications without authorization of the Admin Setup, how?

  I just went through a program installation and the end of it, he asked my admin password that I do not give (I clicked Cancel), and yet it remains installed successfully to ~ / Applications.

  ~/Applications is locked in 'Read only' without an Admin password. How does it work? I'm guessing that if the system has the required permissions, it can install in ~ / Applications, which makes me wonder why he asked my password in the first place?

  Hello polarrrbear,

  Unless you have made specific changes to permissions on the folder, any user who is a member of the admin (default setting) group can write to the folder. There are some risks to it security. While it is just to have a file in / applications will trigger any execution, there are always a few things that malicious applications can use to fool you by throwing. Here is an example: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/threat-analysis/2016/08/pcvark-plays-dirty/

  I suggest you contact Apple directly on this subject through your comments: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

• Siri is disabled by the Parental control on macOS Sierra admin account

  I just installed macOS Sierra today on my 13 "Mac Book Pro (early 2011). I have only one user account that is an administrator account. Siri is not enabled on my machine. When I go to the Siri system preferences screen, it says that "Siri is disabled by Parental control. Hmmm, when I check the Parental control screen, it says "you logged in using an administrator account." You can only apply parental controls to accounts that are not administrator accounts. »

  What happens here?

  Same problem here. Updated for Sierra of El Capitan on MacBookPro 15 "(mid - 2014).

  Even if I toggle the checkbox on the Parental control > others > disable Siri & dictation I can't activate Siri, the checkox is always gray and the alert says "Siri is disabled by Parental control.

  Siri is enabled if I login as a burst, but I need it on my Admin account of course. Very annoying.

  What is desirable or just paranoid to use two different passwords for user and Admin accounts? I prefer to use the same if it is just as safe (I guess that's for the most part). THX

• Unable to remove an admin account

  I would like to completely clear my account before I sell it, but I can't delete it. I created a new account, imaginatively named new user to this effect and gives powers new user admin. as a new user, I went into system preferences > users and groups, but when I clicked on my account regularly in order to remove it, I found it is grayed out. I think maybe I gave Ria23 uber-admin powers, but I don't know how or revoke these powers.

  Earlier, I tried to delete the new user and no problem with it.

  TLDR: I want to wipe my personal profile completely before passing to a new user, but can't seem to do it.

  Before you sell or give away your computer, and more the steps listed in this article to support, please follow these steps:

  1. run the Diagnostics by Apple. The buyer will do (or it should), and you won't be surprised by the results.

  2. reset the PRAM and the SMC, which may contain personal information.

  3. If you set a password for the firmware, delete it.

  4. If you turn on FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.

  5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.

  6. If you have created another partition of data on internal disk, remove them in disk utility.

  7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the remaining data partition with the possibility of putting the data to zero. An SSD has no need to be set to zero.

  8. remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it is still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the warranty to the new owner as described in the terms and Conditions AppleCare (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  Note also:

  You can legally or transfer almost any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. This includes OS X, so if you've switched to OS X 10.7 or later, you need to reinstall an operating system older, either from the installation media, if any, or by commissioning in recovery mode of the Internet (option-command-R start ringing.) If you have installed physical media, deliver those to the new owner.

  Replacements for the original media can be ordered from Apple.

  If the machine comes with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you may be able to install it from a retail Snow Leopard' drive (that you have to transfer to the buyer.) To run the snow leopard, the machine needs at least 1 GB of memory. The buyer should understand that if he does not get the support of origin on your part, it will not group iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test.

  The new owner will have to re-download everything software that came on the App Store, as appropriate, including updates of OS X, under her Apple ID. If you never updated applications bundled iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band) through the App Store, you can not transfer these either. The buyer must buy them. Note that iPhoto has been suspended and is no longer available for purchase.

• Cannot access TB of Win7 user acct - from Admin

  I loved TB for years and he was always on computers that have only the administrator account (Yes, I knew that it was not wise and-).
  Now I had to reload Windows 7 Pro due to a malware that might have been blocked if I was using a separate user account.
  Of course, I now have the Admin account and my user account.
  Thunderbird runs a lot of Admin, but when I try to open it in my user account he wants to load a new email address and I'm afraid that if I load the same account details there will be problems.
  Is it possible to have accessible TB since the two accounts or should I remove and re-install just from the user account?
  If it is possible then to simple instructions please - I am over 70 and the nearest computer shop is more than 100km (60 miles)

  to start slowly.
  Were you logged on as an administrator to copy? You will not have access to the files if you weren't.
  Did you find the Thunderbird profile?

  If you think you have copies where it should and it does not work. try to use the Profile Manager to tell Thunderbird where is this place.

  change the shortcut on your desktop for Thunderbird (right click, properties) and add a PEI to the target, it looks like

  "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -P
  

  Now close Thunderbird

  When you start Thunderbird, you will be asked for the profile to use. But hat we do is create a new. Selection of a new profile and pointing to that which already exists which causes it to be used.

  Now to the real part of profile. Initially, I said lets you copy % appdata%\Thunderbird. Now you must descend into the Thunderbird folder and open profiles. This folder will contain, if you only have one profile, a file with 8 random and .default characters that corresponds to the current profile folder.

  So, by using the Profile Manager to point to a new profile to this place should cause Thunderbird load with your old data all intact (if he actually got copies of course)

• (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.
