How can I change an already set up mac to a new admin account

This is an upgrade Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from Tiger. I have always had the same logon which I thought gave me admin priviledges and I was trying to install Digital Performer 7.24 and I got a message that I did not have sufficient priviledges to install hard drive authorizations and I needed to sign in with an admin account which I thought I had presumeably done already. I had signed on the account that I had used from the time I had authorized tiger. Since it took consiiderable time and effort to install many Pro Audio music plugins I don't want to start again at ground zero. Help me if you can:)

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.


Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.

Select your language.

Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.

Select Disk Utility.


Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.

Click Repair Disk.

Restart your computer when done.


Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer. Reinstallng Digital Performer 7.24 should now work. If not, you should contact its customer tech support department - http://www.motu.com/techsupport





Do you meet all of Digital Performer 7.24 system requirements?


Version 7.24

• Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) compatibility

• Improvements and optimizations


Minimum System Requirements

Digital Performer 7.24 requires a computer with a 1 GHz G4 processor and 1 GB of RAM running Mac OS X v10.5.8 Leopard or later to install and run. A display resolution of 1024 x 768 is also required.


System Recommendations

The minimum recommended system for Digital Performer is a multi-core or multi-processor Power Mac G5 or Intel-based Mac with 2 GB of RAM or more. A display resolution of 1280 x 1024 is also recommended.


Pro Tools|HD System Requirements

Digital Performer supports DAE versions 8.0–8.0.3 with the following Digidesign Pro Tools systems:


• Pro Tools|HD (1, 2 or 3)

• Pro Tools|HD Accel


Pro Tools version 8.0 cs3 or later is strongly recommended. Support for Pro Tools 8.0.3 requires that Pro Tools is installed before installing Digital Performer 7.1 or later. If Pro Tools 8.0.3 is installed after Digital Performer 7.1 or later, the Digital Performer installer must be run again for DAE to function properly.
