Lack the option 'Use iCloud password' on 1 MacBook

I have 3 MacBrook Pros and 1 Mac Mini, everything on El Capitan.  I use my account on all devices iCloud successfully (Photos, Contacts, iCloud drive, etc.).  I also use my iCloud password on all devices, except on one of the MacBook, which does give me the option to do so.  On this one specific MacBook (let's call it "without work MacBook"), I'm stuck with a local password.  In the preferences system-> users and groups, my Admin user (the only user defined on this system), the option to change password don't give me the choice to use my password to iCloud.  In addition, under my username, my iCloud ID is NOT displayed.  It appears under the username on all my other devices.

I am connected to iCloud on the MacBook without work, and anything else iCloud-related work.

I tried disconnecting and verse iCloud on the MacBook without work and it has no effect.

I tried to restart the MacBook non-working and has no effect.

On the MacBook without work, under system-> iCloud preferences, it shows the ID iCloud under my username, and I even change my password iCloud (I did and it worked - I had to update on all other devices).

On the MacBook without work, in the preferences system-> users and groups, if I unlock and right click on my username, then select Advanced Options, it shows the correct ID of Apple.

I found at least another one online of someone having this same problem, and their 'solution' was to reinstall the OS from scratch.  It's a bit drastic - like buying a new car all the 5,000 miles because you don't know how to change the oil.  I hope someone can recommend a surgical solution more.

Thanks in advance!

Change an existing account to use the iCloud password is no longer possible from 10.11.4. Accounts that have already activated the feature continue to work, however, if they are changed to a regular password, then they also cannot switch back to use a password to iCloud.

The installation wizard can still set up an account to log in with a password to iCloud, the current solution to allowing him so to re-run the configuration wizard. See this for instructions on how to rerun the configuration wizard: http://www.theinstructional.com/guides/how-to-re-run-the-os-x-setup-assistant

Basically, open the Terminal and run:

sudo rm/var/db /. AppleSetupDone

Then restart.

  • 'Use iCloud password' on mac not an option

    Good evening

    I am trying to solve a problem that I've had for the last few days. In fact, when I go to users and groups and click on 'change password', I don't get the option "use iCloud password. It was working fine until I did a factory reset. I did the recovery erased my entire drive, then reinstalled the operating system. Happen if is that he sent me back to the Mavericks of OS and then I've upgraded to El Capitan. Would it be the reason that the option does not appear? I tried everything I could think of. Signature to an exit to iCloud. I even changed my password to iCloud. I have reset my keychain. I even spoke in support, and they could really help me. Please let me know.

    Users and groups > password > change password not allowing to change your Mac administrator password not your iCloud password (Apple ID).

  • My Windows XP pro would not let me change the option 'Use the home screen', so I removed a vital .dll file. I can't start Windows now!

    My Windows XP pro would not let me change the "Use welcome screen" option under: user accounts/change the way users connect or power off.

    He gave a message to the effect (I forgot to write it!) "a recently installed program does not change this setting. Search in the file named "RtlGina2.dll for a clue. So as silly as I can be, I did a search, finds the file RtlGina2.dll in the Windows/System32 folder and cut and paste on my desk. My thought was to isolate this file to see if it will address the problem of not being able to change the option use Windows screen.

    Now, I can't run Windows! It gives a message that this file RtlGina2.dll is not found! Specifically, it says, User Interface failure. The UI for logon RtlGina2.dll DLL failed to load. Contact your system administrator to replace the DLL or restore the original dll.

    How can I replace the dll if I can't even get started? Help, please! I know just enough to get me in trouble I see.

    WyoPathfinder,
    Are you able to boot mode safe mode with command prompt?  If Yes, then you can search for the file "dir /s /a RtlGina2.dll" lists the location where you moved to.  Then you can just copy (path\filename) c:\Windows/System32\(filename)

    If you do not work in safe mode, then you can boot from a XP disc and go into the recovery console and do the same thing.

    Hope that helps. QQ learn manage!

  • Why can't I configure the POP/IMAP mails for my Muse site in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option "use this service for e-mail as hosting the Web site" under Advanced options

    Why can't I configure the POP/IMAP mails for my Muse site in Business Catalyst? I don't have the option "use this service for e-mail as hosting the Web site" under Advanced options.

    Is this due to my hosting Plan? Appreciate the answers.

    Your site is a CCM that is located on a WebBasics plan (this plan does not e-mail hosted on Business Catalyst).

    If you want to create the email addresses on this site, you will need to configure your mail elsewhere server and configure the MX records on your site to point to the external mail server.

    If you want to use the hosted Business catalyst e-mail services, you should use a WebBasics + or superior siteplan. To upgrade your free CCM site, access administration area of your site-> Site Management-> upgrade now-> choose the desired site plan and billing frequency-> Add personal and credit card details-> Submit.

    Please see this article on setting up email on your site of BC accounts: http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#! / settings/mail electronic-users of the site -

    For the establishment of the records point to the external mail server, see http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/user-manual#! / settings/email-users/creation-boxes of reception-for-your-users of the site

  • I don't have the option "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) for the Application PDF

    My accounting software runs on a Mozilla browser. When I saw the reports, it downloads it instead of preview of the report in a new window. My instructions are to go to the Options/Applications Mozilla browser and replace Portable Document Format "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) - but this option does not exist.

    In addition, how to add Applications?

    The plugin can be disabled, which means, set to 'never activate', on the plugins page. I think that the forum does not detect it when you posted (see Question details > System Details more).

    To verify that you can open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, look for Adobe Acrobat. If it is disabled, it will be down on a gray box.

    If your plugin is very outdated, it can be disabled for security reasons. In this case, I suggest entering your product Adobe (Reader or Acrobat) and using the Help menu > check for updates.

    Update the main program should also update the plugin. If all goes well then you will be able to use again.

  • Lack the option "move to".

    I have a menu pin in my master and I want my content to scroll below. After viewing a video Adobe tv what it seems I have to do is select the menu and then right click and select the option "move to" which leaves me then chose the option "Master plan".

    The problem is that I don't see that the "reorganize" and not "move to" option like in the video.  Organize the menu forwards in the master and the content down on the page does not solve the problem of the elements on the page to scroll on the top of the menu.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Hi Sladezumhofe,

    You can use the functionality of layers of to do. Add the menu to the top layer and all other content in the other layers.

    When I go in the options to activate java, I go to the content tab and it is supposed to have a box for the activation of javascript. I don't have this option. Down, I loaded the latest firefox. the firefox I had, I tried to remove my system in Control Panel, add or remove programs, and I was unable to. I deleted firefox via my computer. I downloaded firefox setup stub 28 and installed. When I ran Firefox, he already had my favorites, so I think I still have a little of the previous of firefox.

    You do not miss this preference, it has been removed in Firefox 23. The pref is still available in Panel prefs hidden - about: config = javascript.enabled - default value is true

    There are a few extensions that a toolbar button to allow you to toggle this pref walk / stop.

    Fast Java is one of these extensions.
