Any ideas on how to fix so i dont have to log into my internal HD account (troubleshoot) before logging into my USER account. So after each restart/shutdown I must log in and logout of the troubleshooting account first. If I try to log into my USER account after a shutdown and/or restart I still get the ".unable to log in." message. However, I'm only able to log into my account after I log into and out of my "troubleshoot" account. Apple may provide or recommend responses as a possible solution based on the information provided. Don't know what changed, but I finally have it quasi-working via location change method using the Users & Groups advance options. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only. Over the past 15 hours, I've re-install the operating system, created an alias home folder on the external drive, change the home folder location via Users & Groups advance options, and retried the symblolic links, I done several iterations of those various methods with no luck. Logging in to the account failed because an error occured." So I used my Troubleshoot admin account I had previously created to log back.īTW, the Troubleshoot account is a vanilla admin account residing on the internal Mac HD.
I re-did the symbolic link to point to my home folder to the external drive, restarted, and tried to log back in, but I got "You are unable to log in to the user account "xxxx" at this time. I disabled iCloud got the files located back on the Macintosh HD. Which I eventually figured out it had to do with the automatic iCloud storage for desktop and documents folders. After the catalina upgrade I started noticing the Documents folder in the sidebar stopped pointing to my external drive folders. Since I have quite a bit of music, video, and documents in those folders I really needed the additional space, so I used a symbolic link to point to my home folder on my external drive. The goal of this product is to decrease users' trips to the Terminal in order to use the 'ln -s' command.I have 2012 MacBook Air. It does this by adding a contextual-menu item to the Finder that generates symbolic links to the selected files. SymbolicLinker is a tiny contextual menu plugin (for Puma through Leopard users) and software service (for Snow Leopard & later users) that, once installed, allows any user to create symbolic links to files inside the Finder.
Try using a symbolic link (easy to make with symboliclinker).
SymbolicLinker is a contextual menu plugin & service for Mac OS X that allows users to make symbolic links in the Finder. Then, I will delete the Backup folder (the one I renamed Backup2) from my mac (saving 17 gig of space) and see if I have enough space to do this iOS 5 update. Also to make a backup of the content so if I ever need to reinstall Logic, I won't need to download everything all over again. I will make sure I have an updated copy of my mac’s Backup folder (the one in library/application support/mobilesync/Backup) on my external drive.
I looking for some advice on how to install the Logic Pro X content to an external hard drive.
