Permissions problems after manual migration of the deleted user

I am the admin of my iMac, although there are a couple of other users. After rising problems with accidents, which does not reinstall OS X, my user account has become so corrupted that Finder would launch is no longer and I was forced to do something drastic. Not wanting to reproduce the problem, I decided to give up Time Machine restore and I have just created a new user for myself and deleted my previous user account, preserving its content.

It turns out that the copy of my user deleted to my new files was not something Apple intention we can do.

I changed the permissions on all the files in the old (deleted) user folder to read and write to my new user and applies this setting to the contents of all folders. However, I was still unable to move the folders in my new user folder - it copied instead. Okay, well, it makes everything more difficult, but I worked through it. Now that the files have been copied to my new user folder and permissions are certainly on my current user (admin), OS X still think that I don't "own" them, i.e., I can't move things and I type my admin password to be able to copy things.

Many Google searches on this issue have turned only complex terminal procedures that I'm not of course are worth risking. I hope that someone here in the infinitely knowledgeable Mac community has a solution for me. Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you changed the file property?
If this isn't the case, then you can change the ownership of the file using the chown command in terminal.

Using one of the administrator account on the machine, you can run:

sudo chown - Rv User1/Users/user3/dir1 /.
(where "user1" will be the user that you want to change the property of and "/ Users/user/dir1 / ' will be the path of the file/directory or file you want to make this change to) [you might be promoted a password if you just enter the password there is no feedback that the password entered]

Once the user has files that you should have no problem moving them to the users directory.

  • Please help in the db connectivity problem after Server moves to the location of diff

    Our database is 10.2.0.3 with 2 RAC nodes. Our database servers are MS 2003 R2. Recently, we moved our database on different servers in the other location. Say that we pitch A, B and C.
    A - the location for the database users understand me.
    B - the former location of the db
    C - the new location of the db.

    Location B and C are in the same city but different places. A and B are located in different cities. I was told that there is no direct link between A and C and the link between A and C must pass through B. Since the move we have experienced the problem of connectivity of database between A and C. Some users got "ORA-03113: end of file on the communication channel. For me, I constantly "ORA-03135: connection lost contact" Sqlplus or Toad if I leave my session idle for an hour or more, no matter if it uses dedicated or shared connection. We also asked our network administrator to make sure that there is no firewall between the two and we have also added KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval the new db server record. We also have a TAR with Oracle.

    Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

    Shirley

    Connections this time-out when left idle for an hour feels very strongly to a firewall issue. The fact that you are going through Site B and cannot connect directly to Site c. imply strongly that there is a firewall at Site C. Since B can communicate with C, I would bet that there is a hole in the firewall allows connections between B and C. But firewalls commonly kill idle connections after a timeout: you would need to talk to the administrator of the firewall to determine how to configure the firewall to allow connections to be idle indefinitely.

  • Security settings / permissions problems after activation of Windows XP Pro

    I had installed AVG antivirus (among a few other free applications) on the computer of a John probably 4 weeks ago.

    John had monitor problems & eventually replaced the monitor.

    Two days ago another friend of John "reactivated" WinXpPro Sp2 (I guess by calling the help line Microsoft - Australia, brisbane.

    Now, I'm unable to install AVG, got an "Error 998: emplacementmemoire not found" or something close to that.
    also I can't start the firewall (in services),
    also I can not access the internet.

    I tried to start in safe mode, but the administrator user requires a password,
    All that we know no password has been used in the original installation or the "reactivation".

    any help will be appreciated.

  • I have a problem with a missing on the computer user account.

    Original title: problem getting back to the original account admin user

    Since the computer was new, I didn't have that one user account and didn't need a user to logon screen, when it opened to that and the only active user account. Fast forward 6 months that I had a problem with a windows installation file deleted and in order to get a program running I had to add a user account for the new installation of the user files. That part worked, but when I disconnected and tried to return to my original owner account there was only the new account on the logon screen my original account wasn't there. My files for this user account are still there in C: User but I can't find a way to get there.

    Googleing this problem I saw things about problems with the accounts being listed as AccueilCompte, or administrator, but it did get me anywhere, the only difference I've seen after going through all that I saw in Win7 Home Premium, which had to do with user accounts, it is that my original account was registered in a field as 'owner '. I don't know if it's part of the problem or not. How can I return to my original account and why isn't she appear on the opening screen of session or user accounts?

  • "Default" folder of the deleted user

    Somehow my 'Default' user folder has been removed from C:\Users. This means I can create is no longer new users, as I just get the "opening of the session... impossible user profile service. "etc when I try to load the new user, because there is no profile by default so that it can be created from...

    Basically, my question is "is it possible to restore the folder of the user 'Default', or anywhere I can download it?

    Found the answer!

    I'm glad you found a solution and thanks for the comments. Two points remain:

    • You have no idea how the folder could be gone?
    • Have you given any consideration to create and maintain an image of your machine? As I loaded Windows 7 2 years ago, I was forced to fall back to a recent picture on five occasions. In each case, I had a minor but irritating problem that has defied my best efforts to solve.

  • Assistant Migration - copy a folder after a migration to the new computer

    Hi-

    Today I created my new MacBook Air. I used Migration Assistant to transfer, wireless, my old MacBook Pro. I didn't have enough room so I disabled my music folder. After the migration is complete, I made little place on my new Air and represented the Migration Assistant. This time, I chose only the music folder. But the problem I have is that, at this stage, I am prompted to overwrite my account or duplicate... I don't want to do either... I want to just copy this folder on my existing account.

    Obviously, I am missing a step when re-imaging a Machine under Windows Vista. I exchange the unit containing the old image with a new drive with the new image. Now at each reboot, the audio troubleshooting tool must be run. It detects the audio device, it configures a time for her and seems to be configured correctly... until the next reboot. Whenever the computer is restarted, the audio icon in the status bar appears again with the beloved red 'X'. Is this a driver problem? Thank you very much for your help!

  • Problem when creating objects to the point user clicks on the screen

    I'll sometimes have a problem when clicking on the screen and have an object at this time created. 95% of the time it works properly, but sometimes, the object is created in a different area of the screen.

    Everyone comes across something similar? Or is it likely to be just a problem with the Simulator?

    Thank you very much for any help offered.

    If you want a "newLabel" to appear in the contact details of your mouseEvent, but only if details of mouseEvent are lower on the screen (having a higher value) at the height of your textButton.

    If your TextButton object does not touch the top of the stage (y = 0), you'll want to write this instead:

    if (event.localY > textButton.y + textButton.height)
    

    It may be a good idea to write it anyway, just in case you want to change the position of the TextButton.

    In addition, localX and localY properties of your mouseEvent are compared to the event containing sprite.  for example, if you have a canvas Sprite that is a parent of your textButton and is tuned for the mouseEvent.  otherwise, if there is no sprite contains (second phase) for your event, you'll want to use stageX and stageY instead.

    I guess since I can't be sure of your intentions here, but try this instead:

    private function createItem(event:MouseEvent):void
         {
         if (event.stageY > textButton.y + textButton.height)
            {
            var newLabel:TextField = new TextField();
            newLabel.x = event.stageX;
            newLabel.y = event.stageY;
            newLabel.text = "test";
            newLabel.setTextFormat(userTextFormat);
    
            addChild(newLabel);
            }
         }

    If your system reboots continuously, the next time the system reboots, start tapping the F8 key until you see the menu Boot Options Advanced XP.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select:
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
    This will display the error message that you don't see when the system restarts.  This is what Windows is supposed to do when there a failure - it is supposed to automatically restart.  The error you see on the screen has your clues...
    If you do not see the menu Options start Advancded or you do not have to turn it off automatic restart on option system in the list of choices, you need to try again until you do.  Start typing the F8 key earlier and more frequently as your system begins to come alive.  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again.
    Please provide additional information on your system:
    What is your system brand and model?

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)
    ?
    Most of the time (in recent memory) when there is a problem after installing Microsoft updates, the problem is because the computer was somehow afflicted before/when updates have been installed and updates simply bring to the surface a problem that was not evident before.
    If the last thing people remember is to install the updates from MS, it's am understandable reaction in some way involve updates for updating the post problems when things don't work properly afterwards and especially during the next reboot.
    Another reaction is to try to remember all of the updates you have installed and somehow uninstall the updates one of the XP Recovery Console until you find one who is 'responsible '.  Unless you noted all issues of update, it would be more difficult, but not impossible.  It is unlikely that practical or useful advice in most situations, but you can of course try it.
    Security updates sometimes holes patch XP and when security holes are patched (and XP is "tighter"), affliction can no longer do what is done, things to happen are no longer allowed to happen as a result of the strengthening of security, the system has now a new problem (especially when it initializes more) , and it seems that install updates broken system while in fact, it's just a coincidence.
    Another thing that can happen is that the Microsoft updates will change or update certain critical files on the XP system.  Depending on what your software antivirus or antimalware software is, these programs can interpret the new or updated files to day as being a threat or somehow infected and quarantine (effectively delete) files it thinks are wary.
    The next time you restart your system, you'll have some sort of a problem, or you do not start if the files are missing.  Once more, the problem is not with the updates, it's another condition on your system with your antivirus or antimalware programs you beautiful little (they could be aware of what like the new look of Microsoft files).
    You may have seen some or heard talk about some of these kinds of people, but not too intellectually stimulating general or scenarios of error after update:
    NTLDR is missing or corrupt, ntdetect.com is missing or damaged, ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged, hal.dll is missing or corrupt, etc.
    These types of errors are usually very easy to fix, but if you don't know what's happening, the temptation is to do a repair installation, or if none of these kinds of things are really necessary, completely reinstall your XP.  I have never done a system restore, a repair install or reinstalled XP in my life to solve any problem (but I did the process for practice).  These things are simply not options with me.
    Given that Microsoft sends many updates on the second Tuesday of each month (they call it "Patch Tuesday"), this means that the or to the second Wednesday of each month there is an increase of 'problems' in the field - in particular the types of problems "my computer does not start after you install the updates from Microsoft.  That day is also known as "exploit Wednesday".
    You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_Tuesday
    It is likely that if you have a problem like this or after the installation of MS updates, someone else has also had the same problem and understood what to do about it.  A problem here, is that no one knows what is your problem.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.
