User ID changed from 501 to 503 when importing from Time Machine

When I imported a user from a backup on a Time Machine I got the message that the User ID had changed from 501 to 503 and that I may need to update the permissions for that users home folder to the new value. When I try to log on to this account I get a message that the log in failed due to an error, but it doesn't specify the cause of the error.

How do I do the necessary changes to the permission settings?

I run OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 on a Mac mini (mid 2010).

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select

Utilities ▹ Terminal

from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:

resetp

Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:

resetpassword

Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.

Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.

Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.

Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.

Select

 ▹ Restart

from the menu bar.

Hi Linc, thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately I still get the same error message:

"You can not log in to the user account XYZ right now"

The login to the account failed because an error occurred

(Translated from my native language, so it may different slightly from what it would look like in English)

Do you have another account that works, and if so, is it an administrator account?

Log in as the other user. Enable fast user switching, if it's not already enabled.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages

from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

View ▹ Show Log List

from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to log in as the affected user. Select any lines that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Hi Linc, just one line appears when I try to log in as the affected user:

Hi Linc, some new lines has appeared, see below. Might the problem be that the accounts original had the same user name, and that the renaming at the import of the second user do not perform correctly (to 100%)?

You're using the "legacy" (pre-Lion) version of FileVault, and the disk image file on which your home folder is stored is corrupt.

This condition is quite difficult and time-consuming to recover from. If the procedure suggested here is too hard, get help from someone more experienced. One option is to make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Legacy FileVault is obsolete and should not be used under OS X 10.7 or later.

If you have another user account with administrator status and can do so, log in to it and skip to Step 4.

Step 1

Start up in Recovery mode. The OS X Utilities screen will appear.

Step 2

Select

Utilities ▹ Terminal

from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:

resetp

Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:

resetpassword

Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Select your startup volume if not already selected. Pull down the menu labeled Select the user account and select

System Administrator (root)

Follow the prompts to set a password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.

Select

 ▹ Restart

from the menu bar.

Step 3

At the login screen, click Other... Enter "root" (without the quotes) in the Name field, and enter the password you set in Step 4 in the Password field. You should now be logged in. Do nothing while logged in as root except as indicated below.

Open the Users & Groups preference pane. Create a new user and check the box marked

Allow user to administer this computer

Restart and log in as the new user.

Step 4

Load this web page in Safari.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

sudo dscl . -delete users/fubar HomeDirectory

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.

Launch the TextEdit application. Paste into the window by pressing command-V. Double-click the word "fubar" and type the short name of the affected FileVault user.

To be clear, the command line above is just an example. You must edit it before using it.

Triple-click the edited line and again copy to the Clipboard.

Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

Paste into the Terminal window. When prompted, enter the password of the user you're logged in as. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return.

Step 5

You should now be able to log out and log in as the FileVault user. Your files still won't be available. FileVault is inactive.

Locate the disk image file named "fubar.sparsebundle" or "fubar.sparseimage" at the top level of your home folder. Again, these are only examples, not the actual name of the file you're looking for. Substitute the short user name for "fubar".

Step 6

Try to open the file. If it won't open, try to repair it in Disk Utility. If it still won't open, restore it from your most recent backup. Keep trying older backups until you find one that works. If you don't have a backup, the data is lost, perhaps beyond any hope of recovery. There's a slight chance that you might be able to repair the disk image using an expensive third-party application called "Disk Warrior." If possible, go to a "Genius Bar" where the software is available for use by the "Geniuses" at no charge.

Step 7

Copy the files from the mounted disk image to the corresponding subfolders of your home folder. The Library folder is invisible in the Finder. Open it by holding down the option key and selecting

Go ▹ Library

from the Finder menu bar. Open the copy on the disk image by selecting

Go ▹ Go to Folder

and entering something like

/Volumes/fubar/Library

in the text box that opens. Again, substitute the correct name for "fubar".

Log out and log back in.

If there isn't enough disk space available to complete this step, unmount the disk image, copy the disk image file to an external storage device, delete the original, and try again.

Step 8

Back up all data, then delete the disk image file.

Step 9

Delete the user you created in Step 3, if applicable.

Step 10 (optional, but recommended)

Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Disable the root user."

Hi, I was of the impression that I was using the new version of FileVault. I started using the older version with Snow Leopard when I bought the computer but switched to the new version when it was introduced quite a few years ago now. Do you think the backup is corrupt as well or is it just the the recovered version on the hard drive? I could easily reinstall the computer and not use FileVault until I have recovered the backup from my old user and then start using FileVault with Yosemite which only has the new version.

Thanks ones again for your time.

No, not yet. I will print the steps you suggested and try it tomorrow. It's easier to follow if I can have it on paper in front of me than on the screen.

Hi Linc, I have now come as far as I probably can with the problem with my unreadable backup. As it turned out I didn't need to go though your suggested steps above to be able to access the files in the backup. I was able to read the backup from my current user account. However, the last backup that contained a “fubar.sparsebundle” was from July 2014, but this sparsebundle was from September 2012. All the backups between September 2012 and July 2014 had the same sparsebundle, according to its timestamp and the ones I have looked at appear to have the same content. So it seem that the sparsebundle has been copied between the backups without any new backup being taken. Since I mostly use this computer for reading emails, accessing the internet, streaming etc. I don’t think I have lost any really valuable content.

Thanks once again for your help and advise.
