User account trackpad issues

Trying to set up a guest account in Lion for my girlfriend, but the trackpad doesn't respond in this account. It does work without a glitch in the admin account.

Did you try hard clicking the trackpad to register the click.
Enable Tap to Click and then tap will work.
Best.

How to disable a user account and issue CoA via REST? (ACS 5.4)

Like the subject line says, I need to disable user accounts via REST, as well as issue CoA doing the same. Is this even possible? I've been trying for a few days now and I can do GET queries on user accounts, but I can't get anything to work using PUT.

According to this document it should be possible to use the PUT method.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.4/sdk/rest.html
Could you please tell us how are you using the PUT method? I could try to replicate it in my lab.
Best regards

ITunes 11.1 - two user accounts - permission issues for content

I downloaded iTunes 11.1 on my new iMac last night when it was released.
I have two user accounts set up. 1 for my wife, and the other for me. We have a shared iTunes account that has all of our music that we purchased from apple. I did the same set up for the iPhoto library. The way I implemented it allows both my wife and I read/write access to our content.
The issue:
When I downloaded iTunes 11.1 I could not longer launch iTunes and it generated an error on Start up. The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions of this folder. The user priveleges were fine. No changes needed to be made there. After spending countless hours trying to figure it out, I went into my TimeMachine and restored to a backup from earlier in that day. I am now running iTunes 11.0.5 and I won't make the mistake again of upgrading to 11.1 until this is resolved.
Be advised if you have multiple users all pointed to a shared directory that this issue may impact you as well.
Resolution:
If you want iOS7, then download it from your device itself. From your iPhone, iPad, etc etc, Go into Settings>General>Software Updates and download iOS7 from there. iTunes radio won't be available on my iMac, but so what, at least I can access my content now.

Just ignore it.
In most of those, it says "should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x" - the important part, the actual "permissions" is everything except the initial "d" - and the only difference I see is the initial "d" is missing in the "they are" part.
The "d" stands for "directory" which on a Mac we usually call a folder. For some reason, there's some confusion about whether these should be folders or not - but the actual permissionss (read, write, or eXecute - the 'r" "w" and "x"s) are all correct.
My guess is that Apple changed the way they create ".nib" files, and Disk Utility hasn't been updated yet to recognize the change. So the problem is in Disk Utility, not in iTunes.

Setting Up a New User Account - iTunes issue

My wife and I were both using our Mac as a single user, but logging into iTunes under separate iTunes accounts to download our own music and apps.
This week I set up a new User Account in her name, and transferred all music and apps to her User Account so she would be able to access and sync on her own account, just by fast switching, rather than logging into iTunes each visit.
When she plugs her phone into the iMac to sync via iTunes, she gets the following message:
*iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone " " because another sync client is already running*.
Anyone had this problem and found a solution ?

I recently had this same error message problem with my 3GS. Here's everything I did, one of the steps solved the problem...
1. Restarted with the phone unattached.
2. Repaired permissions using Disk Utility.
3. Restarted the phone. Here's where I had some difficulty: After swiping to confirm the shutdown, the screen went black, and I had the spinning icon that wouldn't go away. I ended up having to hold the lock and home buttons down to force shutdown the phone. I powered it back up, and it took forever to start, but it eventually did. I then power-cycled it one more time, and everything was back to normal.
4. Started up iTunes. Go into the preferences, and under the "Devices" tab, I found my previous backup. I deleted it.
5. Plugged in the phone, and everything was normal. iTunes made a new backup, so the sync took awhile, but it was successful.
Good luck!

Trouble with CS2 on Mac G5 with new user accounts - activation issues?

My system is a Mac G5 Quad running OS 10.5.8, and I have the CS2 premium suite. When I bought the machine I did everything under one user account. Several months ago the account started giving me a few problems, and my circumstances changed, so it made sense to create new, separate user accounts on my Mac for work and personal use.
Recently I offered to help a friend out with some design work and tried to start InDesign CS2 from my new business account. I was immediately presented with a demand for a serial number. I looked it up and entered it. An error popped up that said
"Invalid Serial Number
The serial number you provided is not valid.
Please check your serial number and re-enter it."
I tried a couple more times, making sure I had it right. No success.
I gave up and launched my original user account, launched InDesign and started the project. I set the document up and tried to save it. InDesign displayed an error stating "Cannot save "Untitled-1" under a new name. The file "DBTmp[bunch of numbers]" is damaged (error code:0" Each time I relaunched and tried again the temp filename was different.
So now I suddenly am without one of my primary tools and have no idea how to get it back. I am guessing this is a problem with the activation mechanism, but can't find many resources on this topic. It would appear that my attempt to launch InDesign from my new account triggered a piracy protection code or something.
I am typing this while waiting on hold for Adobe support. 25 minutes and counting...
Thanks.
Paul

Bob, Thank you so much!
I already have Acrobat 8.2.4, so I didn't start installing 8.2.2. However, I started working through solution 2 and discovered my new business user account was denied access to /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/. I changed the permissions on that directory to give my account read access, and InDesign fired up like normal. I didn't even need to replace the files.
Thanks again for the assistance.
It's interesting to learn CS2 is not supported in my OS version. It works fine (until this).

Transfer User Accounts - iTunes issues

Hello Folks....
I have transfered my user information from an iMac to my new MacBook and everything copied perfectly okay. When i come to use iTunes after the transfer, i get a message saying "The file "iTunes Library" can not be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
iTunes wont open and wont reconize my iPhone.
What i am trying to achive is to simply copy all my tunes from my iMac to the MacBook like everything else transfered.
I have MobileMe if thats of any help to my issue...
Will be more than happy to clarify anything - thanks in advance!
p.s... can anyone post a link to any forums with iSight problems - the light keeps coming on when i switch on the MacBook - ive only had it for a week.
Cheers!

To do this properly, create a new account from the Accounts pane of System Preferences and log in with that account. Connect the machine which stores the data for that account, and then copy that account's home folder to the /Users/ folder on your hard disk. Rename the existing home folder to something else, and then rename the home folder you just moved to the short name of the newly-created account if necessary. Log out and back in to complete the account migration process. It is possible to do this without logging in from the account you're going to transfer, but it is more complicated.

ITunes 7 - 2 user accounts 1 music folder sharing issues

I just downloaded iTunes 7 this afternoon. I imported some music from my CDs into my account. My wife and I have a shared music folder. I then logged onto my wifes account and added the music to her library. Her accound moved the music files from the original folder to an Unknown Artist folder losing the file information. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I apologize if this is topic has already been posted.

If you have a folder on the hard drive called anything you want (Shared Files for example) and leave it in the root directory, anyone should be able to access it. If one of the user accounts doesn't have administrator access, writing to that folder may be an issue.
To fix this, control-click (right click) and select get info. Go to the permissions tab. Use the little arrow next to 'Details' to make sure it shows the details. Select the group 'everyone' and allow them to 'Read and Write'. Click on the checkbox 'Apply to enclosed items'. You'll need to do it from an administrator account.
Should sort you out.

User Account Control FireFox issue in Windows 7 - ULTIMATE SOLUTION!!!

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
Trying to figure out why some people where able to use "Run as Administrator" fix and for others like me it did nothing. The answer is what type of Win7 you have. If you have Win7 Ultimate or Enterprise you can go into the Local Securities Policy Editor and prevent the UAC dialog box opening for an administrator.
However, if like me you have Home Premium or Home editions there is NO editor in the OS and this setting has to be modified through the registry.
This page has the full explanation and zip file of the registry hack: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-user-account-controluac-for-administrators-only/
So I downloaded the file, unzipped it and merged it with the registry - then set my Compatibility properties for the FireFox shortcut to "Run as Administrator" and it runs GREAT!!

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

I can not open my Safari. It quits unexpectedly. The issue happens with a single user account. It does not happen to anyone else in my family. Please help.

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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

SSAS issue with Domain user account

Hi
I have SSAS 2008 R2 set up running on Windows Server 2012 Standard.
The server is registered as a part of domain.
I have had an issue of domain user accounts accessing to a cube and it's starting to get worse. There has been no problem with a local user account (I set up a few for testing purpose).
I ran the role report from BIDS Helper and it finds all the domain user accounts invalid.
It looks like SSAS is not talking well with the domain server (Windows 2003 server standard) to verify user credentials. But the thing is that everyone is ok with the domain server except for SSAS. IT does not have a clue what's going on here and everything
is just pointing at me right now.
I'd like to know if there is anyway to monitor that communication between SSAS and domain server for user credential verification and any guideline on how to resolve it. Most of time, it just works again.. like 10 minitues later.. it resolves by itself.
But this time, not!!!
All I know is that 1. Registering the server as a part of domain 2. use domain user account to set the security.
MY IT department has set up network monitoring tool and says that they are 100% percent working (No connection loss. It's monitoring Active directory as well). The application installed is 'ManageEngine Applications Manager'
I don't know what to do here.
P.S Will it be related something like 'Error
while Add user to SSAS Server - The trust relationship between the primary domain and the trusted domain failed' but it's all the domain accounts including mine are not working.
Cheers!!!

First check your DNS servers setting on the server you have SSAS installed. You should only use the IP addresses of the DNS servers (e.g. Domain Controllers) of your domain. Active Directory relies on proper DNS server settings. Adding public DNS servers,
even if they are on the bottom of the list, will mess up name resolving Active Directory names. This should have been done when IT had provisioned the server. Same goes for own workstation if you run your development/management software not on the server.
Second make sure SSAS is running under a service account that has access to Active Directory. This can be either a domain account, the local system account, or the network service account. Running SSAS under a local account or the local service account will
not work because local accounts do not have access to Active Directory. Running SSAS under either a Managed Service Account or a Virtual Account will not work because those features require the domain at least the Windows Server 2008 R2 functional
level.
Third make sure the account you use to log on to SSAS is a domain account and has appropriate permissions in SQL Server and SSAS. Local accounts and SQL Server account do not have access to Active Directory

HotSynch issues: can't change any settings in User Accounts, can't rename or delete, can't sync!

Hello, I am running Windows XP Pro Version 5.1.2600. My wife and I both have Palm Treo 700p smartphones running Palm OS 5.2H.
Her phone has been having continual issues with some third-party software. Each time we would attempt to sync her phone after installation we would get the same error message:
HotSync Exchange synchronization failed
HotSync Error: Unknown error. (FE00)
We have tried to contact the software developer for the third-party application with no luck. They simply insist that there is nothing wrong with their software. Mind you, the phone would always sync with no issues before we installed the third-party software, but that's neither here nor there. Point being her phone would not sync no matter what I tried.
I searched the troubleshooting articles for HotSync issues and found that the only solution that might help would be to update our Palm Desktop from version 4.2 to 6.2. After installing the new Palm Desktop I was able to sync my 700p. However, when I attempted to sync my wife's 700p it still did not work. When I tried to access the HotSync log on the desktop it would only show the log for my phone. Her name would show up in the list of users, but once I tried to select it my name would appear in the window. When I attempt to open the "User Accounts" window in the HotSync Manager the application freezes and I must shut it down. I am unable to delete or rename the User accounts.
Now we are stuck not being able to sync her phone and not being able to fix the issue. She has a lot of files on her phone which she spent a lot of time working on, hundreds of hours, to get them where she needs them. Our concern is that in the process of fixing the HotSync issue she'll lose her work. We need a solution. Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

Versamail is a email application on the device. As for the backup folder you may have renamed it follow these steps (You may not need to hard reset the device. You can skip that part)
To fix this what we need to do is hard reset your device. The instructions to do that is here http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/887_en.html this tells you how to do all types of resets. Also, what we need to do is rename your backup folder. What this folder is, it hold all your programs from the last time you synced your PC. On your computer go here
Palm Desktop 4.2 and below
My Computer--> C drive --> Program files --> Palm/PalmOne--> your hotsync username
Palm Desktop 6.2.2
My Documents/Documents --> Palm OS Desktop --> your hotsync username
Right click on your backup folder and rename it to "backupOld". Resync your device to the same user name and you will get all your contacts, calendar, tasks, and memos.
You can install the programs again but make sure they are compatible with the device. Also try one program again and wait 24 hours to see if the same thing happens again. This way you know what program is causing the issue.

Output display issue in only a particular user account.

Let me start off by noting that I recently switched to mac from windows. Last night I was browsing around the system just getting a feel for the environment when the color / display changed and looked something like a display one would see from booting up in safe mode on a windows machine. I went on to restart and log back into the user account where I was having the display issue, but that did not work. I ran the tech tool deluxe suite to try and find the problem, maybe the video ram? That test came back with no issues to report. I went into the administrator account and found that the display there was normal, and then checked the problem account once more to find that my problem was not solved. Luckily I did not have a lot of information on the problem account so I went onto delete the problem account and recreated a new one. This solved my display issues. Does anyone have any idea why this would have happened or what I can do to prevent it from happening? Should I contact Apple because I am not sure if this may be a hardware/software issue/defect? Thanks.

If you open the Universal Access pane in System Preferences and select "White on Black" in the Seeing tab does that replicate the problem? I'm not familiar with Safe mode on a Windows machine.

3G having issues with my User Account

My iPhone 3G will not connect to my user account in iTunes. It gives a bogus error that is apparently (per Apple) a "time out error for PC's"
Upon creating a new user account on my Mac the iPhone connects just fine to the new accounts iTunes. Is there any way I can find out what is corrupt in my user account creating this issue? I do not want to have to delete my account. I have done an archive and reinstall, reinstalled iTunes 7.7, restored the phone, it isn't the cord, and it connects in other computers/accounts just fine.
Please help!
Thanks in advance

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?
Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.
