Why the unknown user accounts

What are the unknown user accounts? I want to give them all the permissions on my computer?

Hello

Where is it ask permission?

What is the exact message you get?

A user account is a collection of information that tells Windows the files and folders you can access, what changes you can make to your computer, and your personal preferences, such as your desktop background or screen saver. User accounts let you share a computer with several people while having your own files and settings. Each person accesses his user account with a user name and password.

    Im having problems accessing copy, editing and viewing my photos on my drive external hard .it says I don't have permissions to access the file .and the file belongs to an unknown user account. How can I have access to these files?

    I saw the pictures and found that you had to the security of the folder/file. From there, change the owner of your current account. The account unknown S-1-5-21-98... user id internal to the user account that created the file and so you have the permission of that user, which is impossible because even if you create a user account with the same name, the user id cannot be the same.

  • Two accounts using Apple ID on the same user account

    Hello

    I just bought my two children, who are 7 and 9, an iPod Touch each. I would like to implement separate Apple ID (with the sharing of the family) then we can use and iMessage, find friends - but I don't want to set up separate user accounts on the Mac Mini that we (the two user accounts would be unnecessarily complicated for them).

    All the tips I found online seems to suggest two user accounts, then someone can tell me if logging in and out of the Apple ID in iTunes even work for them (as identifier Apple is much broader than iTunes just used by Mac system)?

    Thank you!

    With the help of two Apple ID on the same iTunes account will cause problems as the Apple ID use two families sharing. When iTunes is connected to with an Apple ID and one of the following conditions is present:

    Download the latest purchases

    Use the family sharing

    Use iTunes game

    Use the automatic downloads

    Use iCloud music library

    The device or the Mac becomes associated with this Apple ID. Once that the device or the Mac is associated with one Apple, another ID that uses one of these services cannot connect for 90 days. After 90 days, the second ID can connect, but it then becomes associated to this ID.

    But if you use the sharing of family and children are less than 13 years old, then they must use ask to buy, and that would mean that the organizer would be when even pay for all of their iTunes purchases. Then why not sign Organizer Apple ID in iTunes on Mac Mini?

    Here is the Support of associated devices Article FYI:

  • delete, disable, remove the guest user account

    Hello

    I came across a lot of similar questions asked about deletion/deletion/disabling guest user account. the posted questions earlier and google has not provided me with answers specific questions.

    first of all, I know now that the guest user account is a system file that should not be deleted.
    1. Why is this?

    I enabled/activated the account invited for a day and people with mobility reduced/turned off later. I asked before and got a response that I should not have allowed the first guest account.
    2. Why is it?
    3. What's the harm in having activated once the guest account?

    the record of the guest user now appears in the c:\users\ location. It was not before but the fact now since that once I enabled guest account.
    4. do one thing 'ok' or is it a bad thing?
    5. What are the policies on the restoration of windows and system folders without having to reinstall the windows operating system?

    and finally
    6. in case the guest user account has been disabled/disabled, windows remove settings for it and wipe this account?

    Thanks in advance, forward your answers.

    Hello

    A guest account allows people to have temporary access to your computer. People using the guest account cannot install software or hardware, change settings, or create a password.

    Once the guest account is enabled, you will see the comments folder in the users folder and you will not be able to remove it. And when also disable you the folder of comments will be present, but it will not be enough space.

    If the comments have saved any file on your computer, it will be present in the folder of comments, it won't cause damage to your other user accounts.

    For more information, see the following Microsoft article and check if that helps.

  • 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?

    and also before '-P'

  • Firefox does not work for multiple instances of the SAME user account on Windows Multipoint Server 2011

    We have a PC HP of MulitSeat MS6200
    It runs Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 (which seems to be a twisted version of Windows 7)
    It is implemented in a laboratory of computer science and students connect you using their account for shared room - IE multiple instances of the same user accounts are currently running on the PC at the same time.
    The first student to run Firefox can work with it without a problem.
    However, when another student try to start firefox they get the following message:
    Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

    Cannot start Firefox using a profile that is already used by someone else.
    Each Firefox instance needs its own profile or you will get this error message.

  • Cannot remove the old user account (admin)

    I'm on a MacBook Pro 15 "the retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

    I have two admin accounts, an 'old' I do not use and a more current that I use.

    I want to delete the 'old' admin account, but I get an error message: "cannot delete user... account error backup in the home folder for this user."

    Here are the steps I followed:

    1. System Preferences-> users and groups

    2. click on unlock icon; authentication with username and password

    3. click on the 'old' user account and click on the button "-" to remove it.

    4. Select the option "save the home folder in a disk image", then click on remove the user

    5. for the moment, he says 'delete account '.

    6 then I get the error message.

    I know that I could choose the second option (in step 4), but I really want to move the old files of the user users users/Deleted.

    Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated

    The first thing that comes to mind is the following: is there enough room for the disc to be created image and put in files? The files are not moved from the reader to the disk image, they are copied. Then for a time in the account to be deleted files will be on the computer two times. The second thing that comes to mind is that there is a directory of the hard drive problem. If you do not have enough space and is my first problem, start the recovery partition and use the directory of disk to repair the drive. And the third thing that might be the cause of the problem is a bad file that cannot be copied to the disk image. It will be difficult to understand because basically, you will need to open each file to find the one that is perhaps incorrect.
