MacBook Pro :: Cant Find Installation File?

Jun 18, 2012

Was in the middle of installing adobe master collection and it froze. I restarted my machine but cant find the install file. I was using the assistant manager does this mean i need to download the whole thing again or is in in a cache memory folder? Some of the applications have installed and some are have not. What is the best way to clean this up? Do I delete all the files and start again?Is there a cache folder with a file i can click to continue the download?

May 6, 2012

I'm using an iMac computer. 

And the problem I'm having is the following: 

I'm trying to delete an user account from my computer following the steps from apple. 

[URL]

So at step 3 they say I have to click on the user account I want to delete. But I cannot see the user account in the list.  

It is the only account with an password, but that person doesn't know the password even with the clues for it. Besides that I currently don't have the option to contact him.

MacBook Pro :: Open A Zip File Of Photos On It When It Cannot Find Or Fix Alias

Apr 11, 2012

I do a home photo editing business. One of a my clients sent me a disc that she zipped to compress because there were a lot of pictures on it. When I try to open it on my Mac Book Pro I keep getting an error message that it cannot find alias and what program do I want to use to open it. It also gives me an option to "fix alias" but it doesn't seem to work.  What am I doing wrong?  Why can't I open zip files on my Mac Book Pro?  I should probably mention that the client also uses a Mac Book Pro and her pictures were in her iPhoto before she zipped them on a disc.

OS X :: New User - Getting File Permissions

Jun 7, 2010

Computer: iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
System: OS X 10.5.8

I used to only have one user account (user1) on my iMac, but recently I made a second one (user2) that is intended to eventually replace my original user account. (Why I did this: Photoshop CS3 was unusable with errors, and after trying every fix known to man [aside from a clean install of Leopard], the only thing that worked was to use Photoshop on a new user account ... weird, I know.)

Here is my problem: I moved all my files from /user1/ to /user2/ (e.g. - photos from /user1/Pictures/ I moved to /user2/Pictures/, and so on...). The problem is that most of these files do not have user2 listed under "Sharing and Permission" when I get information about the files (so I don't have permission to access them).

I tried this:
* Clicking on an enclosing folder and going to 'get info'
* Adding user2 and setting permissions to read & write
* Clicking the gear symbol and selecting 'apply to enclosed items...'

Didn't work; 'user2' did not get added to the user list for 'Sharing and Permissions' of the enclosed items. In the meantime, I did this:
* I noticed that every item already has the 'staff' group listed (with read only permission)
* I changed staff from 'read only' to 'read & write'
* I clicked the gear symbol and applied to enclosed items.

Now all enclosed items allow staff to read & write. This is ok for now, but I'd rather just allow 'user2' permissions when needed, instead of allowing the whole 'staff' group (whatever staff group includes... ?) Also, is there anything else I should know about transferring user accounts that I might not have thought of?

OS X :: How To Recover FileValult User File

Sep 29, 2010

I had a mid-2008 MacBook Pro running 10.6. I used filevault on the main user. Unfortunately the logic board died while I was logged in. I bought a new MacBook Pro and Apple successfully moved the files across, however, when I go to login it says "you are unable to log in to the FileVault user account". Using disk utility I found the disk needed to be repaired and did that and repaired disk permissions to no avail. I have another admin account that doesnt use FileVault on this laptop... is it possible to get in through it?? I was reading about using terminal, however, all advice was OS 10.4 or earlier. I don't know if this poses any significance but in the other admin account the internet won't turn on. Even if I successfully add wifi or plug in my usb tethering enabled iphone 4 it won't connect. Also the user file seems a tad small (only 25GB) so I'm concerned I've lost some data.

OS X :: Deleted My User File/how To Restore It?

Feb 10, 2009

I deleted my user file Macintosh HD/Users/MY USER NAME.

How can I get it back? I used data rescue 2 but it didn't get the folders it was in or the file names and I have about 300 files on my desktop so I can't rename everything. I also have a iPhone and I and I want to know if everything on it will be deleted at the next sync (Contacts, songs, videos, Photos, Apps) if I can't get my files back because some of my song aren't backup so my iTunes won't be the same as the last time I sync my iPhone (My iPhone is Jailbroken.)

OS X :: Cannot Modify Owner Of File To Another User

Mar 31, 2009

I have a file that, for some reason is set to "No Access" for Everyone in the Sharing & Permissions of the file. I tried to change the owner of the file to another user (with admin rights) but when I type in the name of the new user, OSX tells me that the name I entered is invalid. Is this new file owner the same thing as the account names I have setup in System Preferences? If so, why would I not be able to change the user.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: File Sharing (Read Only) Between User Accounts

Apr 6, 2012

Every file created within the Shared folder is automatically a "read-only" for all other users. How can I make all users able to edit all files within the Shared folder? - The "Apply to enclosed items" does only apply settings to existing files. This means that for every new file you add, you have to press "Apply to enclosed items". - Surely there must be a way to apply the folders setting to all future content? All I want is for this folder to function as any external hard drive; accessible by all accounts without any restrictions!

OS X Yosemite :: Can't Select User For File Sharing With Windows

Dec 4, 2014

I'm trying to share my MBPr over my LAN with my windows 8 desktop. When i go to the file sharing options, under "Windows File Sharing" section, the user account i want to share (my main account) is greyed out, so I can not select it. The other user account is selectable though. 

Any reason why I can't select my main account??

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: File Permissions - Edit A User Account?

Mar 30, 2012

file permissions - how to edit a user account that is creating files with permissions that are not wanted anymore. i understand how to reset permissions on files or folders, but i do not understand how to reset the permissions a user is "creating". ie, each time this user creates a file, the file needs to be manually edited for its permissions. so i need to edit the user's settings, but i can't find where to do that. this is a home office setup. we have two users with admin privileges. our imac is acting as a server of sorts - it holds common files that need to be edited by both users. the other user is typically working on shared files from a macbook over wifi.

Mac OS X Lion Server :: 10 User File Sharing Limit After 10.7.4 Upgrade?

Jun 14, 2012

Has anyone noticed a strange 10 user file sharing limit after upgrading to 10.7.4 server? Using DeployStudio to mass deploy 10.7.4 Lion images in a school. Since upgrading to 10.7.4 server, I am now limited to 10 logins on the repository. Thought this might be a DeployStudio issue, but it seems more like the server is imposing the restriction. If I do a manual login to the shared folder where the image files are kept on the server, I can only do it from 10 computers and computer 11 will refuse to login.
