Help with account permissions / Yosemite

Looking for help well informed with a pesky question of Yosemite...

I have an old Mac with multiple disks, and I try to get the most recent versions of Mac OS X installed and working properly.

The hardware and OS details:

  • Mac Pro 4.1 ("cheese grater")
  • 3 hard disks 1 to
  • Machine has been (and is still) 10.6.8 Snow Leopard as its main operating system running.  It's on HD #2.  That works very well, though obviously limited the age (old apps).  I need to keep this as a configuration to boot can be used - in other words, I need to preserve the ability to boot from the HD #2 in 10.6.8 as this is currently my workplace every day and will probably continue for a while.

Last year, I installed 10.10.3 Yosemite on internal HD #1.  I initially had some difficulties to be able to switch between the boot disks, but am now able to choose with reliability drive/starting system at startup via the Startup Manager (boot, invoking the Boot Manager, I choose #2 with 10.6.8 HD or HD #1 with 10.10.3).)

So far so good.

Everything works well when it is started on the 10.6.8 by car.

When it is started off the coast of the 10.10.3 drive, there is account/permissions issues that prevent me from using it for something meaningful.  That's what I'm trying to correct now.

Note that I installed 10.10.3 on HD #1 for over a year and I've never used for anything - that the drive is empty other than the operating system.  If I need to blow this facility, I can do.

The problem: I am currently not able to install apps on HD #1 (after starting on #1 with 10.10.3). HD  When I try to install anything, the operating system will appear an authentication dialog box: '< name of install App > wants to make changes. Type of administrator name and password to enable this. »

I get my account name and PW (which I have always used for everything on this machine for ever), and it fails.

Research in system preferences > users and groups, I see not what probably is the problem: my account is a "Standard user", not an administrator account.  There is no listed administrator account (in fact, no other users listed, other than the "Guest", which is disabled).  I don't know how he got in this State, I was always the administrator on this machine, and I guess it would have copied accounts and permissions of the 10.6.8 installation, or otherwise if he asked me about this information during the installation I took myself as an administrator.  In any case, my user account is now "Standard", which is probably the cause of the current unrest.  I am constantly invited to enter a log in admin whenever I try to do anything (a 'function' rather annoying but lets not go).  This machine is my home, nobody else is going to have physical access to it, no children in the House, that's for sure, I prefer to ignore as many log-ins required security etc. as possible, but for now, I just get my user configured as an administrator account.

What is the best way to achieve this?

As I said, I have nothing invested in the current installation of 10.10.3 HD # 1, this player is all-but-empty and I can blow that installation (and re - format the drive) if it's the easiest path.  But it is extremely important that I have the integrity of the other disk, HD #2, which is running 10.6.8 and has important data and apps on it.  I want to make sure that everything I do with or HD #1 and 10.10.3 is no impact on the #2 HD and my ability to boot from 10.6.8 on it.

(I also have a third 1 TB internal disk (HD #3).  This player is 100% empty and unused.  After I get the permissions of the account/fixed on HD #1 with 10.10.3, I would then install 10.11 El Capitan on HD #3 - and have the ability to boot to one of the three systems - but I'll keep my questions on that until I have the 10.10.3 sorted issues.)

Then... I guess the only real issue here that I need to address is the fact that my user account on #1 on 10.10.3 HD is not an admin (no?) account.  If this is the case, what is the best way for me to fix this?

Thank you very much in advance for your help - it is much appreciated.

Can you unlock the preferences system/users and groups? If so, you should be able to give administrator privileges. See if something in this article helps you. Since you have nothing else on the disc, if all else fails, delete and reinstall. Setup Wizard will allow you to create an admin account.

User account - add new Admin

Make a backup, best 2 separated on 2 discs. Start of recovery volume (command - R on a restart, or hold down the option/Alt during a restart and select the Volume of recovery). Run the check/repair disk utility and repair permissions until you get no error.  Reformat the hard disk using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS extended (journaled), then click on the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the operating system.

    Hey kaelat22239625,

    This error can occur if you are using an older version of the player.

    Apart from signing the browser, you can try to install the latest version of the software e.g. Adobe Reader DC the link mentioned below:

    I'm on Acrobat 10 for mac and I need help with the distribution of shape feature. Is there a way to change the registration e-mail download addressed to the? Currently all forms I create and then distribute may only be subjected to my email account... I appreciate any help!

    Do not use the feature distribute the form. Instead of this, just put up a button "submit" and configure it to send email using any email address you want. Just add a button and set the action of the mouse upward on "Submit a form" and use a type mailto URL and specify that you want to send the full PDF. Then activate the reader of the document: where "Advanced/extended features in Adobe Reader" is located in Acrobat XI?

    If you really want to use distribute the form for some reason, change the e-mail address in your preferences: Edit > Preferences > identity > Email address

    Hi goaliemom

    There is no way to disable CC products. When you enable a CC product on another computer, simply connect to Creative Cloud.CC will ask you if you it will activate on more than 2 computers.

    I've done it before and I lost many of my images that were on LR.  No matter WHAT HELP with this please

    On the computer on which you will see that your images are not displayed?

    Catalog check the most recently used file > open recent in Lightroom

  • Need help with Macbook

    Hello, I recently bought a Macbook from a friend and since I got the Mac it's very very slow at doing things like browsing the internet using Safari, it takes forever to load, web pages and all sorts of things that I'd like to get help with this problem maybe a few recommendations and also on how to speed up... If you need to care about Macbook, I can give these thx.

    To sell or transfer ownership of a Mac, even to a member of your family, you must follow these instructions. So far, you will have continuous problems.

    Refer to what to do before you sell or give away your Mac

    1. If you have enabled FileVault, disable it in system preferences > Security and privacy.
    2. "Remove" your iTunes account. Ditto for Audible if you have one.
    3. System Preferences > iCloud > deselect 'Back to My Mac' and 'find my Mac '.
    4. Disconnect from iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.

    Next: delete all of your personal information by erasing the internal storage of the Mac completely.

    1. If your Mac comes with a grey system installation DVD, start up your Mac with this disc in the optical drive, all holding the key c to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which must be erased before selling.
      • Apple stopped Macs shipment requiring these discs in August 2011.
    2. If your Mac does not comes with disks, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
      • using three fingers press on and hold the following keys: (command), optionand R.
      • With a fourth finger, press the power button to turn on the Mac.
      • Keep the other three fingers here where they are until you see the icon "spinning globe.
      • This method force the Mac to download BONES initially installed from Apple servers, that won't require not an Apple ID install.
    3. Remove any password Open Firmware, if you created a: select utility password firmware in the Utilities menu and remove.
    4. Select disk utility from the utilities menu.
    5. Delete all partitions that can be created.
    6. Select the icon for the hard drive to the Mac, and then select the tab "delete".
    7. Click on the 'Security Options' button and erase the drive.
      • More "robustly" you erase the disc, the longer it will.
      • The fastest method is sufficient, since all but the techniques more expensive and equipment will be able to recover data deleted safely.
    8. When he finishes, quit disk utility.
    9. In the utility menu, select Install Mac OS X .
      • An identifier Apple won't be necessary. If a prompt for an Apple ID, return to step 5.
      • Do not create user accounts.
    10. When he finishes, shut down the computer.
    11. If you want to install the bundled apps that have been included with your Mac, restart using your DVD Applications if it was included and install the bundled apps.
      • Apps, delivered with the new Macs sold without disks cannot be transferred. His new owner must buy them from the Mac App Store with its own Apple ID.

    If the Mac is sold to someone outside the family, consider the following additional information:

    1. System provided with your Mac installation DVD must stay with him forever and be included in the sale.
    2. Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, documents printed, same box if you have.
      • AppleCare remains with the equipment and can be transferred.
    3. Run an invoice indicating the serial number of the Mac.
    4. Once is no longer in your possession, remove the Mac of your devices in my support profile.
  • I'm suddenly needing help with my browser Firefox (6.0.2)

    Hello
    I'm suddenly needing help with my browser Firefox (6.0.2)

    (OS: I use Windows XP).

    When I open the browser, I don't see is a totally white screen of white, with all the toolbars at the top.

    I know that my physical connections are very good: I have tested the modem, turned the pc market etc and I can also receive/send emails.

    This problem started today, September 8, 2011 and has never happened before.

    Is it a coincidence that Firefox itself to day before I disconnected yesterday evening? Could this be something to do with this particular new update?

    I also noticed that just before I "opened" Firefox, I now get a small box indicating:

    [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
    Handl exc in Ev: TypeError: this oRoot.enable is not a function

    This never appeared before - I hope that it offers a clue has what is wrong.

    The browser not be stuck in Mode safe, said by the way.

    Of course, I can't find solutions to the problem on the internet, I don't physically see all Web sites!
    (A friend sends this request in my name from their pc)

    Any light you can throw on this problem of confusion would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.

    If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall from your site, I'm also in trouble (I can not see the internet or download).
    In this case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my e-mail address? In the affirmative, please let me know and I'll give you more details.

    Thanks in advance.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • Help with Icloud locked iPad Apple?

    First of all, I am disabled and wanted to get my kids something nice. I found a deal on OfferUp for 3 Ipad mini and bought them. They were all on the first Setup screen as if they were new. I drove home excited and went to turn them on, and he's stuck on the activation screen. I've searched high and low to try to find a solution for this and have not found one thing. I feel very fuzzy and not only by the person who sold these for me but by Apple too. Their are thousands of people who treats this what I read and it's a mistake.

    Right now I just want to know if Apple really helps getting them going again or not, and Yes, I have all the emails and screenshots to prove that I bought these the guy on OfferUp. Thanks for the replies.

    They help, only potentially, if you were the original purchaser of the iPad and had proof of purchase (e.g. an original receipt with their serial numbers on it)-it won't help with second hand machines, you will need to contact the person you purchased in origin, only he or she can potentially remove them from their account (disable find them my iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support).

  • I need help with an installation failure to interpret and troubleshoot a Setup log.

    Background: A few years ago, many editors of cinema used Final Cut Pro 6 (also contained in Final Cut Studio 2) for their editing projects.  Shared Apple Final Cut X uses a different format that is not compatible with FCP6.  Sometimes, these editors are called to work on a few historical projects that have been published in FCP6 and need this version to run now.

    Starting with OS X Lion, FCP6 would install not in Lion and thereafter.

    According research by Jeremy Johnston as noted on his blog, he discovered that Apple has inserted a file in the folder CoreServices in the Library folder of the system folder that causes versions the version Final Cut Pro X (and other older Apple programs in the same situation) do not settle.  He suggested changes to this file that would seek to prevent interfering with the installation of FCP6 in Lion, many users of final cut PRO 6 were successful in their efforts to install in Lion and work with it.

    Later in a discussion update on installing FCP6 in Mavericks, HawaiianHippie determined that the simplest way to perform the installation of FCP6 was simply copy this file and remove it from the system folder, install FCP6 and then restore the copied file:

    I used this method with success to install FCS2 in Yosemite:

    [click on images to enlarge]

    However, in my attempts to install FCS2 in El Capitan, it fails in the last 5% to install the first DVD:

    First of all, I need advice on how to display an extremely large Setup log in this thread (on MacRumors, it is a method to insert a 'code' in a small box that can be the object of a scrollbar if necessary to read all along).  I am unable to find such a method to post here.

    Then once approved, I need help to determine which component is causing the installation to fail and perhaps this element can be omitted from the installation:

    If this element is not required, then maybe FCP6 can be installed successfully without it.  And if that omitted element is necessary, perhaps a manual method to install it can be determined by pacifists.

    It is my goal to help those who need to install and use FCP6 on their new Macs running El Capitan.

    Here is the post on MacRumors with pre-installed Setup log:

  • Help with the Structures of the case

    I have a problem switching between the true and false cases between the structures of the case. I'm writing a VI that generates a random number between 0 and 10 once every 0.5 seconds, and then adds the numbers until the total reaches or exceeds 100. At that time, it should start to subtract the number generated at random until it reaches 0, then switch again adding etc.

    I have a problem switching to the case of 'false' once the sum exceeds 100. If anyone can help with that would be great!

    To make things more simple exchange the Boolean value for an enumeration with only two values you can call "Count Up" and "Count Down".

    Create a second shift register to hold the enumerated value specifying whether to "Count Up" or "Count Down". Initialize the new register shift to count up, and in the case of "Count Up" in the structure of the case, increment the value of data and test to see if it is greater than 100. If this is not the case, do not change the value in the registry to shift direction. If data has exceeded the limit, change the values in the shift of direction register account to "Count Down".

    In the case of 'Count Down', decrement the value of data and test a value less than 0. When the value of the data is less than the lower limit, change the values in the change of direction of the County Register to "Count Up" and you're done.
