ROOT User Install

I have been reading a few threads with install on newer macs. I found my problem and solution was to install as the ROOT USER INSTALL

What follows is what I did...

Are you getting this on mac OS 10.8 when you try to resifted Carrara ?

"The application cannot get the administrator access right, You should run it once as administrator or reinstall the application.."

Heres what you got to do….

How to enable the root user
OS X Lion
1. From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
2. From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
3. Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account.
4. Click Login Options....
5. Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.
6. Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
7. Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
8. Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
9. Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
10. Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.

How to log in as root

Use these steps for Mac OS X v10.2 or later
1. If you are logged in, choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
2. If you are logging in from a list of usernames with pictures, click Other.
3. In the Name field, type: root
4. In the Password field, type the password you defined in the steps above.

THEN launchCarrara then enter your information then wa-la

If you need to LOG OUT as administrator then log back in as who ever you wish and carrara will run fine!

WHEN YOU ARE DONE and HAPPY! YOU ARE WELL ADVISED TO GOT BACK TO USERS/GROUPS AND "DISABLE ROOT USER" or your asking to be hacked!
