• cannot access the files of another user with the admin account

  I'm on a computer with Windows Vista 64-bit home problems.
  I normally have the computer configured to connect automatically to a non privileged user and rarely use the admin account.
  Recently, I downloaded an update (Finally, more like a relocation to the latest version) and realized that I need the admin account to install properly for all users that UAC would make things a royal PITA with a zillion prompts.

  I quickly disconnected and logged in as admin. Then, I realized that the installation file has been stored in the "downloads" folder in my regular account.
  Worse still, I could not access this folder, or I couldn't tab of future security. All I could do was to 'change the property' to my admin account, but I really didn't block me on these issues. Even from Explorer using "run as administrator" gave me problems, although the DIR command in cmd.com would be the list of people.

  I used the "change user" function to log my account regular and checked the Security tab and saw that the "Administrators" Group had already read and checked 'total control '. Why can't access the admin account? As an admin with XP, I had free access to everything I wanted to leave that I wanted.

  What happens if I was a parent and wanted to check to make sure that my child was not software piracy or download illegal music that would get stuck with the fines because I'm his guardian? How would I go about checking his records?

  What happens if I was an employer at a small office using working groups and wanted to ensure that the employee was not downloading pornography?

  How can I use the powers of the administrator to access other files (regular) user?
  Why do I still need to ask this question? It was automatic under NT, 2000, XP and the various servers at least as high as 2003.

  I found the problem, it was ANOTHER problem with Norton Security Suite for Comcast.
  I uninstalled and did not only to release 100 GIGABYTES of space, my boot time has been cut to a quarter of the former time, and this problem has disappeared.

  • What exactly is the message you see when you try to sign in with your admin account?
  • Have you try log in with your account admin spare or (in Safe Mode) with your administrator account?

• Help! Cannot return to admin account

  I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion g6. Somehow, my account went under standard user administration. I can't change this back. I tried a few different things without success. I tried to go through the cmd.exe using net user administrator / active: yes when logged in my profile. Did not work. Can not change via Control Panel (even though I used to, now I can't). I tried going through the local users and groups and well, can't find it. It is not listed under Computer Management (Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management). Had to do a search for secpol.msc, because it is not come immediately. I tried to open that and got an error strange message that something could not load. Looking now it gives nothing. It comes to MY computer, I always had administrator rights. Could the fact that I have blocked Web sites on my profile through familysafety.microsoft.com have had an impact on it? What else can I do to get the admin restored to my user account? I'm NOT a geek, but I'm not meaning well enough, as long as they are clear (help of screenshots). Help please!

  Here you go:

  1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
  2. select Repair from the menu.
  3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
  4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
  6 plan ahead a little and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. Have a single administrator account is high-risk stuff.

  Hello

  I have an iMac 27 inches and for the last week has had problems with everything works really slow. I bought the clean my Mac 3 software and it at the start of the performance. A few days later my computer on from without my help.

  When I turned on the computer back, I don't the option connect to my Admin account, although I could still see my background image was still there. The only option was to connect as a guest.

  I looked on the forums for help and her I made this following without result.

  Entered my Admin user name with password and it did not work. I then reinstalled Safari and nothing has changed. I looked again on the forums and tried to launch the Terminal and typed in 1 s/users and the response has been - command not found.

  All my programs are always present, but I still have no option to log in as administrator. I was going to update to OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6 Sierra, but without an Admin Im unable to do.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon

  I bought the clean my Mac 3 software...

  '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.
    • Memory "cleaners" that bypass the work of OS x memory management algorithms by purging the memory contents inactive for mass storage, which can only result in performance degradation and accelerated the hardware failure.

  To remove 3 CleanMyMac itself, use its Uninstall module, followed the following additional steps:

  • Delete the file ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    • To access this file, copy and Paste the following line in the menu to go to Finder > go to folder...

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

  • Locate the following file and drag it to the Trash:

  com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

  • Then, open  (menu Apple) > System Preferences > users and groups > login items.
  • Select the item of Menu of CleanMyMac3
  • Click on the [-] (button less).
  • Restart your Mac.

  Beware that reinstall OS X has no effect on deletion CleanMyMac or reverse the damage, it is able to inflict on a system. To recover from the effects of using it to change the OS X / Sierra, you need additional software and essential files you need, follow the applicable recovery procedure below:

  • If you have a backup that you created before using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, start macOS Recoveryand in the form of Mac OS X utilities , select restore from a Time Machine backup. Choose a date prior to the installation of CleanMyMac.
  • If you don't have a backup previous use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do this read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.
    • The recovery procedure require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user account whose content will be empty. You can then use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents, including photos, music, products of work and other essential files.
    • To erase and install OS X read How to reinstall Mac OS on your Mac.
      • Follow step 2 to completely erase the internal memory of the CMA: delete a volume using disk utility.
      • Then follow the procedure to move your content to a new Mac.
      • When asked how you want to transfer your data, select transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup or boot disk.
      • Under Select the information to transfer, select only your old user account and do not select 'Applications', 'Computer and Network Settings' or 'other files and folders. Deselect these choices.
    • After using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software that you might need, once more without forgetting to install the software from their original sources and by omitting all non-essential software.
    • "Non-essential software" is a broad category that includes, but is not limited to the products 'antivirus' third party 'cleaning' and 'maintenance '.

• 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.

• 'Creative cloud' is working on a new admin account but not not in old account admin

  Hey community,.

  As my "Adobe Creative Cloud" was no longer working (not able to connect) on my old admin account.

  Adobe told me to create a new admin on 'El Capitan' account.

  Working on the new creative cloud account.

  (Adobe told me that there is a configuration problem on the old account)

  I would like to know

  • How can I detect what's the difference in configuration between the two account?
    or
  • How can I migrate all the settings and my old account to the new facilities?

  Purpose:
  I have a different software on my old account that I use for my work; VMware Fusion 8, different browsers, printer software, tools etc.)

  And also the settings...

  (I obviously don't want to use my old account for everything and have to switch to the new account just for the creative cloud...)

  Plan:

  I can either migrate all the settings from the old account to the new or detect the problem in configuration in my old account.

  Kind regards

  Adobe Creative Cloud ran after the new update of El Capitan.

• Admin account happened after installing the netgear Equium pc wireless card

  I bought a netgear pc wireless card that I was assured was compatible with XP. After installation, I got to start where the Welcome screen had gone and I have a black screen with a newspaper box in details request.

  Only a limited account is shown.

  Any help... Please

  Hello

  seems really strange, especially after the installation of a pc wireless card software. I can give you a suggestion:

  EVERYTHING YOU DATA BACK UP AND REINSTALL YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM.

  I think that it is the only way, because when you describe you already tried almost every thing, then a recovery is inevitable. Copy/backup your data and put the new OS on the HARD drive.

  After that, make separate accounts (for example 3 accounts) and install the card netgear with the admin account. It should work.
  Would appreciate some comments.

• Place the Parental control over the Admin account

  I use a Macbook Pro with El Capitan 11.1 2012

  Today, I put Parental controls on my admin account, which resulted in the managed account. I can now use my normal administrator username / combo of password to remove it. I tried everything I found on the Internet, including into single user mode and create a new account to change to leave, but the code didn't work in my case.

  I was wondering if there is any easy solution or new thoughts there for this OS...

  Also why it not easier? Or at least a warning? Looks like Apple could have come up with something after that it was produced for the years.

  Please take these steps to restore the privileges on your account. This somewhat tedious procedure is only necessary if you have verified that no work administrator account exists on the system.

  If you do not already have a current backup of all your data, you must back up before taking any of the steps below. Ask if you need advice. You won't need the backup unless something goes wrong, which is always possible.

  Step 1

  Start in recovery mode. The OS X Utilities appears.

  Step 2

  This step only if you use FileVault 2. Start utility disk, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Click the Open button in the toolbar and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

  Step 3

  Select

  Utilities ▹ Terminal

  in the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:

  resetp

  Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

  resetpassword

  Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Select your boot if not already done volume. Pull down the menu option

  Select the user account

  and select

  Administrator (root)

  Follow the prompts to set a password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9. I suggest that you write the password. If you don't write it down and forget about it, you will start again at step 1.

  Select

   ▹ Reboot...

  in the menu bar.

  Step 4

  This step, as step 2, applies only if you use FileVault. Sign up as usual, then select

   ▹ Disconnect...

  from the menu bar or press shift-command-Q key combination. Do not restart. You go back to the login screen.

  Step 5

  On the login screen, click on the other... Enter 'root' (without the quotes) in the name field and the password set in step 3 in the password field. You should now be logged in as root. It is a potentially dangerous situation. Do nothing by being logged in as root except as indicated below. You'll be fine as long as you don't dismiss the plan.

  Open the preferences users and groups window. Select your usual administrator account from the list of users and check the box marked

  Allow the user to administer this computer

  You will be prompted to restart. Do this and log in as yourself, not as root. Your administrator status should now be restored.

  Step 6 (optional, but recommended)

  Follow the instructions in this article to support under the title "disable the root user. You must authenticate in directory utility as a 'root' with the password set in step 3. As another administrator authentication will not work.

• 10.11.2 update blocks the account and apps

  I've updated my Mac mini (i7, 16 GB; computer with 1 TB of HDD, more NAS RAID 5 attached, more a Lacie 2 TB hard drive for Time Machine backups) of OS X El Capitan 10.11.1 in 10.11.2. After the reboot, don't not a single application works. The only program that is running is Finder. Now, everything is extremely slow. Other applications - including system preferences - display a message that the app is damaged or incomplete. But on a second account (a standard account without administrator privileges), everything seems to work properly. Because I did a lot of customization in my admin account - and most of the programs are configured to run on this account only - I would be really grateful to pick up everything.

  BTW, the idea to start my Mac with command-r and reinstall El Capitan 10.11.2 did not help.

  Any idea?

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  No one here can help you. The device is locked activation. Since you have made the purchase by Amazon, you can check with them to see if they will stand behind it. No one on the forum, or Apple can help you remove the lock. Only the previous owner can do this. I suggest that you demand a refund, so let's start a claim with Amazon about this dealer.
