(see this apple document for detailed instructions.) to avoid the problem before it happens, either uninstall application enhancer before updating to leopard (if you don’t intend to use the software anymore) or make sure you are using version 2.0.3 or later. even with the newest version, software that requires application enhancer, such as the $10 windowshade , will not work. but at least the program will do no harm while you wait for a leopard-compatible update. login letdowns if you can’t log in to your account after updating to leopard, it’s likely that you have a password with more than eight characters—one that you originally created when using os x 10.2.8 or earlier. if that’s your only account, you’re going to have to restart in single user-mode and follow the instructions in this apple document. however, if you have at least one account that you can log into, the easier fix is to install login & keychain update 1.0. log into that account and select apple menu -> software update to download it. mia administrator account after you install leopard, you might find that your default administrator (admin) account has become a standard account. if there are no other admin accounts on your computer, there’s no easy way to get your administrator powers back. you’ll need to restart in single-user mode (holding down the command-s key during startup) and follow the prompts to type the commands needed to gain write access to the drive. after doing so, type rm /var/db/.applesetupdone (note the space between rm and /var) and press return. next, type reboot and press return to restart your mac. you will arrive at the setup assistant screen, the screen that appears when you first set up a new mac. from here, create a new account (using a different name than your old account). after logging in to this new account, which should be an admin account, go to the accounts preferences pane, select your original account, and select the allow user to administer this computer option. log out and log back in to your original account. if you’d like, now you can select the new account you created here and delete it. 15 comments on this storyemail this story to a friend more mac 911 mac 911 stories from macworld magazine october 2007 mac 911 - oct. 2007 macworld magazine, october 2007 september 2007 mac 911 - sept. 2007 macworld magazine, september 2007 august 2007 mac 911 - aug. 2007 macworld magazine, august 2007 july 2007 mac 911 - july 2007 macworld magazine, july 2007 june 2007 mac 911 - june 2007 macworld magazine, june 2007 mac 911 forum ask questions, get answers in the mac 911 forum enter your trial subscription and macworld will rush you a free trial issue. plus, you'll receive a bonus cd-rom with your paid subscription! if you like macworld, pay just $19.97 for 11 more issues (12 in all). otherwise, write "cancel" on the bill, return it, and owe nothing. the first issue is yours to keep no matter what. name: city: address 1: state: zip code: address 2: e-mail (optional): canadian orders | international orders | digital orders | customer service idg network:   cio   computerworld   cso   gamepro   gamerhelp   games.net   infoworld   itworld canada   javaworld   linuxworld     macwelt   sveriges macworld   macworld españa   macworld uk   network world   pc world   techworld   idg connect   about us   contact us   advertise   press releases   jobs   macworld expo   macmania © 1994-2007 mac publishing, llc.  privacy policy   terms of service   community standards
