  • I set up the new user on my MacBook Pro with the parental control, and I want to allow access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint for Mac.  I have those checked in the dialog box list, but they may not appear in its applications. Am I missing something?

    I set up a 'user' for my son and use parental controls.  I want to him to have access to Word for Mac, and it appears in the list of applications I can check to allow use for.  However, when we opened a session under his username, these applications do not seem to be anywhere.  When you configure new users, applications such as Word for Mac or the available Pages on users?  I can't find any information to help in this regard.  I don't know if I'm missing something under user put up, or parental controls, or both.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I went to set up a new user account, but it deleted my old one with all my files. What can I do?

    I've just set up a new user account for someone else, but now I can access is no longer my own user account that had all of my files, pic, and setting.  How can I get this back account that has all my files on it?

    Initially, you were using the original built-in Administrator account.  When you do this and create a new user, the built in Administrator account becomes hidden (but it's still there).  It seems that you are OK with that, but you want your files transferred to your new user profile.  In this case, you must follow the same procedure as you would if the old profile was corrupted.  To claim that the administrator account has been corrupted, and then follow the steps in the following article:

  • Create a new user in Vista, but does not appear under c:\Users[user-name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes /.

    I tried to add a new user of Vista. The name and icon are created in the login screen, but when I tried to access the new user account, I received the message "user profile service logon failedthe. User profile cannot be loaded.
    I read the responses on the copy files to the user overall, but when I looked in the c drive, the new username has not been added. What should I do now?

    Hello

    The problem is probably damaged the ADMIN account, you were when you created the user account.

    Log on as an ADMINISTRATOR or use the HAA below and REMOVE the user account that you created. Then move forward
    as if your ADMIN account (the one you used to make this account user) has been corrupted. Once you are sure
    It is OK then DISABLE the HAA - login to your ADMIN account and make a different for USER account
    see if everything is OK.

    Try these to erase corruption and missing/damaged file system repair or replacement.

    Then do-, use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times. Do the
    same for other accounts that may be difficult. Then if necessary you can also reset your password
    in the accounts. Do not forget to leave your Admin account and the other to the desired level.

    Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
    repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

  • Restart the system created the new user profile

    When trying to connect to my laptop (before leaving), I have a blank screen with only a cursor before I could log on to the computer. I got tired of hitting CTRL alt del to get into the Task Manager, but he did not do anything.

    Then, I held the power button for five seconds to turn off the computer and restart it.  When he started upward, it showed an error that says the computer is not stopped correctly and on this screen, there are several options to reboot windows, I chose the option "restart windows normally" I could connect with my fine existing password, but when the windows actually open, my experience had changed and all my files are gone.  After some research, I found that all the old information of my were still there, but a separate user profile had been created and everything has been re-pathed to the new user.  The new user profile name was my existing profile name, then my name with a .pc at the end (ie. user name - username.pc).

    My questions are twofold: one) what the hell happened? and (b) what is the simplest to make everything re-pathed to my existing user profile.

    Thank you

    You have been put in a temporary user profile because the original was damaged. You can try the techniques below. If this does not work, let me know and I'll give you another path.

    Critical files are under % systemdrive%\users\user-account\ntuser. The ntuser.dat file is actually a registry hive. Run regedit high and select HKEY_USERS and "load hive" in the menu. Now, go to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    There is a line for each profile. If a profile is bad, check:

    (a) that the name of the key does not stop in ".bak" (remove .bak If it)
    (b) that the RefCount value is 0 (change it if it is different)
    (c) that the State value is 0 (change if different)

    If this is not the case, make the changes and try to connect as this user.

    More details of MVP Aaron Tiensivu - assume in this example that the user name is "atiensivu", field is "personal" and the user profile is located in % systemdrive%\users\atiensivu. Letter is usually C: on standard Vista installs. Replace each instance of "atiensivu" by the username of the corrupted profile.

    1. If you can log in profile, take note of the variable value environment % USERPROFILE. It will probably be "C:\Users\atiensivu" or "C:\Users\atiensivu.staff". Logoff.

    2. If you have opened a session with the profile at any time since your last reboot or you think that there are files in use in the profile, reboot. The important part is to ensure that there are no open files in the directory of the profile broke.

    3. log in as administrator or another account that has local administrator rights.

    4. run "takeown /r /a /d y/f % systemdrive%\users\atiensivu.

    5. starting at % systemdrive%\users, rename "atiensivu" to "atiensivu.old".

    6. in % systemdrive%\users, create a directory named "atiensivu".

    7 run "takeown/r/u staff\atiensivu/f % systemdrive%\users\atiensivu".

    8. run regedit and go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and remove the SID key to the corrupted profile. Best way to find the correct SID is looking for the 'ProfileList' key to the directory mentioned in %UserProfile% in #1 step.

    9. closure of the session.

    10 log on the account "atiensivu". A new profile must be created. Copy all the files you can of the old profile directory.

    Orders "takeown" might be overkill, but I don't like permission errors.

  • Illustrator CC will launch only in the new user account.

    I had trouble with the main user account settings causing newly installed apps crashing.

    I couldn't install Adobe Creative Cloud apps on the main account... they kept crashing on launch.

    With the help of Adobe Support (take control remotely from my Mac), after having tried and tried to install it on my main user account, that they finally successfully the installed in a new account user without problem. However, it's a workaround and not the best solution.

    It seems that the account settings user principal is in contradiction with the launch of the product. On installing successfully on the new user account they strongly suggest that I should now get in touch with you, the guys at Apple support to verify authorization/main user account settings and check if there is no certain permissions that may conflict with Adobe Illustrator CC.

    As advised, I contacted Apple Supprt and spent several hours and has done the following with their help:

    DISK UTILITY

    The disk verified permissions

    The repaired disk permissions

    Confirmed that Illustrator CC doesn't have a user Admin account, but has worked in the new user account.

    Uninstalled Illustrator CC and reinstalled through Creative Cloud CC

    Removed all 17 Illustrator preferences in both libraries

    As before Illustrator CC doesn't have a user Admin account, but has worked in the new user account.

    APPLE SUPPORT SUGGESTION

    I'll be back for you, by saying: "...". This would be better handled by the adobe User support REPS specific errors can occur in any application and there are things that the 3rd third party provider can look at to solve this problem. »

    I'm getting hit back like a tennis ball. Any solid suggestions? Everyone has been through this loop?

    Hi creatorii,

    -Expand the section sharing & permissions.

    -Enter your administrator user name and password when you are prompted, and then click OK.

    -Click on icon + and add the Admin and showing all users.

    -Set the permission for all users and admin read/write

    -Click on the gear icon and select apply point-to-point closed

    Follow the same steps for the sub folder too

    Choose go > go to folder. Enter ~/library/Application support and give all the permissions file to Adobe.

    Launch Illustrator and check.

  • I have the new apple TV, and he had the new user interface.  Friday he returned to the old version of apple TV user interface.  Anyone know why this could have happened

    This is a silly question, but I'm not too tech savvy.  I don't know I have changed something somewhere.  I have the new Apple TV, and he had the new user interface, which means that the appearance of the applications using the applications, example, scroll down to Netflix, Netflix, etc. to research.  This weekend he returned to the UI I've seen on my old Apple TV. Does anyone know why this could have happened and how I me the new interface to return?  I did a reset to the original values Apple TV and it did not work.  The tvOS is 9.1 (13U85).

    Try to understand the issue.

    Do you mean that you have an apple tv4, but he has a home screen display from the older ATV 2/3?  You can attach a screenshot?

    I have never heard of it and don't know how it is possible that they run entirely new software on the ATV4...

  • SRV Win2k3 creating the new user at startup profile

    My Win2K3 Server creates a new user profile when starting, rather than use the existing account.
    For example, the account is called "USER"
    It creates a new profile named "USER. DOMAIN ".

    The "new USER. The DOMAIN profile"seems to have migrated all the parameters of the 'USER' profile, so that it is almost impossible to tell them apart.

    My problem is that this profile does not seem to be able to access the DHCP and DNS server (and other services) and the other server Win2K3, which is of the BDC.

    I tried to remove the disk from the machine and on another windows machine, remove the directory "USER. DOMAIN"and place it on a USB key. Then, turn the player on and start again. It just creates another "USER. The DOMAIN profile"again but this time that all parameters were also lost as if it created a whole new USER profile from scratch.

    I need to get her back to the original profile 'USER' to make everything functional again.

    I would also like to know how this happened and why, if someone wants to be good enough to explain it to me.

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
