Word, pdf, iPhoto email, don't work on one user account but work on second user account

I have MacBook Pro running 10.7. In my main user account I've recently had major issues with several applications. Word quits on startup, pdf files quit on startup, the latest iPhoto application quits when attemping to send email with photos from iPhoto.
I set up a second user account and all the issues went away. Can anyone explain why such bugs are present in one user account by not the more recent one?
Thanks

In your wife's account:
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail

Can anyone help?
I have been using my hotmail account to send/share photos on iPhoto. Recently I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail?
What do I need to do to get the hotmail account working again?

In iphoto I select the photos to send, click on share and email. I setup the email in iphoto and iphoto sorted out all the pop3 & SMTP settings all i had to do was put my email & password in. Since its gone wrong I have got an ipad but no changes to my email settings.
I have been looking at the 'mail' which is also setup for hotmail and I can't send emails from there either so i don't think there is a problem with iphoto.

Auto To working for one material and not working for other material

Hi,
Hope everybody is doing fine.
I have configured the auto TO. Its working fine for one material and not working for the other material. I checked the material master and wm 1,2 views have the same fileds / values. What could be wrong?
I didn't setup the back ground processing job. Is that is affecting it?
thanks for any help.

Question # 1 is what do you mean by "inherited"? Is this a case where the computer belonged to someone else? Your user would not be entitled to use a program licensed to someone else.

Sorry, but your issue has nothing to do with Apple networking. You may get better results getting a solution if you repost to the iCloud area of the Apple Support Communities.

IMovie works in Test account but not in main user account

I have been having issues with iMovie such as lag time and trailers not playing back properly in preview mode. I created a new user account to see if it was isolated to my own user and sure enough the problems went away and iMovie is working smoothly.
So what could be causing the issue on my user account? I tried to usual suspects: repair permissions, delete preferences, etc., but nothing helped.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stephen

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this issue? I can't figure out why it would work on a test account but not on my main account.
Thanks!

Incoming Email not working for one web app, but IS working for others in same farm.

I have enabled incoming email in a large multi-web application farm running SharePoint 2013 SP1 and the Feb 2015/March 2015 CUs that were pushed down in Windows Updates. It works just fine for two web applications, but it will not work for one particular
web application. I see the email land in the /drop folder. If I remove the email address from the library in http://nonworkingapp web
application and use it on a library in a http://working web application, then the email is processed successfully. Conversely,
if I take an address from a library in http://working and move it to a library inhttp://nonworkingapp it
does not work. I've tried multiple site collections on http://nonworkingapp. This rules out any SMTP issues, etc. and means
the issue is bound to this web application. Permissions are the same between the "non-working" and "working" locations: domain users are members on the site, and the library inherits permissions from the site. The App Pool and Timer
Service accounts have rights to the folder and to the library.
The error in the ULS log is the typical error processing message, but it gives no additional information even though I have enabled Verbose logging.
The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00: 00.0156294. The service processed 2 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 2 message(s): Message ID: Message
ID:
Typically, you see "alias not found" or some permissions or quota issue here, but this issue is NOT the same as those. In this case NO additional information is provided in ULS.
Edit: running stsadm.exe -o refreshdms -url http://one/failing/site fixed some similar issues where "Unknown alias" was
reported even though the list did have an alias (see here:http://blogs.technet.com/b/vinitt/archive/2009/07/15/e-mail-enabled-list-alias-information-is-not-synchronized-between-configuration-database-and-content-database.aspx).
This did not fix the issue for the case mentioned above.
What could possibly be the issue preventing incoming email from working on this one web application?

Thanks for your reply. Incoming E-Mail was running on all 3 WFE, however I do not think this was the cause. As noted, _other_ emails send to http://workingapp are working just fine. I can send two emails - one to a library on http://workingapp
and another on http://notworkingapp. The email to http://notworkingapp will sit in the drop folder, while the one to http://workingapp will be processed correctly. In addition, the ULS log on WFE1 indicates an attempt to process the file fails.
So clearly, the timer job on WFE1 is running and attempting to process the file. For kicks, I disabled the service on WFE2 and WFE3, but with no change in the behavior.
WRT to #1, I have done this already (as noted in the original post). I can remove an alias from http://workingapp and place it on http://nonworkingapp and it is not processed. If I return it to http://workingapp it is processed. In other
words, I go into Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a working library, and copy the alias, then disable incoming email for that library. I then go to Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a non-working library, enable incoming email, and paste
the alias. Once done, emails sent to the alias are not processed. I then do the reverse, and it works again.
On #2, I have already tried multiple libraries on http://nonworkingapp (also as noted in the original post).
In my environment, incoming email does not work for any library on http://nonworkingapp, but does work for any library on http://workingapp. Troubleshooting listed above has ruled out any problem with basic mail server configuration or library settings
- the problem is bound to http://nonworkingapp
I'm not sure what you mean by "steps to reproduce the issue". If I knew that, I would probably be able to solve the issue. The best I could come up with to describe the situation would be:
Set up SP 2010 in a three-node configuration with multiple web apps
Enable incoming email and confirm it works
Migrate to a SP2013 SP1 farm in a three node configuration.
Enable a new email alias for a library
Observe that it doesn't work for one web application.
Obviously, it's pretty unlikely that attempting that in a lab would actually have the same result.

My MacBook Pro (mid 2010) won't startup correctly in my admin account, but works fine if I use the guest account...

My MacBook Pro (mid-2010) suddenly stopped working when I was overseas, but I managed to fix it when I returned back to the States after I reformatted and erased the disk, then installed Yosemite. I lost most of my files but didn't really care, though I noticed that some pictures from iPhoto had survived and were in the Trash folder.
I thought I could copy/paste them back into iPhoto, but it wouldn't let me since they were still in the trash. I started getting an error message for EACH PICTURE saying it couldn't be copied because it was in the trash, and when I realized that I'd have to click "ok" 644 times (once for each picture), I tried to restart, then shut down, and eventually forced a shut down by holding down the power button. This is where the problem started...
After trying to startup again, I was able to login to my admin account, and the desktop image would load, but I'd get the spinning rainbow wheel and the computer would remain frozen like that from then on. I tried to repair the disk (there was nothing wrong), and even re-installed the operating system again, but still the problem persists. BUT, if I login with my guest account, everything works fine.
I'm guessing it has something to do with it somehow being frozen on those error messages for those 600+ pictures, but I have no idea how to fix/unfreeze it. Any tips or suggestions?

Can the use of SATA3 instead of SATA2 hdd lead to some issues with my macbook?
I can try to find and buy new SATA2 sdd hdd but they are expensive and I'm not sure it will fix the restarting issue.
SATA3 is backwards compatible with SATA2. That is not likely to be your problem.
Based on what you have done, I suggest a reinstall of the OSX.
Ciao.

Airport issue on admin account but works on other accounts

I have a Macbook Pro unibody and when I wake from sleep it doesnt find airport network. I have a Time Capsule with latest firmware.
PLEASE NOTE - this only happens on my admin account but all other accounts on the MBP it finds it perfect upon waking. I am at a lost on what to do since I have moved the service to the top, deleted preference and removed the airport from network and added it back. Please give me help.

Here are 3 fixes that have worked for others.
1. Adding a new location has worked for some.
Go System Preferences > Network > Location.
Edit location (whatever name you want).
Click + and then click done.
2. And, here is another possibility that has worked for others.
Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop.
Restart.
3. Variation on a theme.
Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop.
Go System Preferences > Network > Delete all locations, and use Automatic.
Restart.
You may have to reconnect to your wireless network if applicable. And, you may need to go System Preferences > Sharing and re-enter your computer's name. Check what name is given in sharing before following my instructions. If problems develop, then your can move the original folder back where it started—overwriting any folder recreated.

Why does eprint work from my gmail account but not from my hotmail account?

Hi,
i have a photosmart premium C310 series and have a problem with eprint! When I sent a word file (or any other file) from my gmail account all works fine, but when I sent the same file from my hotmail account i get a 'Delivery Status Notification (failure)' and my mail doesn't reach the printer.....!!??
Anyone any idea? Thx
Grtz Erik

Hi schummi737,
Sounds like there are some settings in hotmail which is causing the communication issue. You will need to contact Hotmail technical support to help you make changes to the settings.

TS1398 Have Wi Fi at home and for some reason over the weekend it stopped working on ipad and iphone but works on blackberry and 2 x computers......help

I have Wi Fi at home, over the weekend it stopped working on our Ipad and Iphone, yet it still works on Blackberry and laptop and desktop, have tried forget this network, have tried reset network settings but looks like nothing works, The Ipad and phone show the "mushroom" bars as if connected, yet it doesn't display the family wi fi network as normal,.....help

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 tonight and initially had the same problem. I could send a text via iMessage only through cellular network; not my wifi. After fooling around with the settings for an hour or so, I THINK I solved the problem...
According to an article I read online, iOS 6 unifies your phone number and Apple ID. Therefore, if someone sends an iMessage to your phone number, you could hypothetically receive it via an iPad or Mac. In my case, I didn't have my cell number listed on my Apple ID account. Therefore, when I connected to my wifi, iMessage tried to access my number via my Apple ID. Since I didn't have my number listed, iMessage subsequently didn't work.
I logged into my Apple ID, added my mobile number. I also rest my network settings under 'settings,' 'general,' 'reset,' and 'reset network settings.' Then, I restarted my phone. Under my message settings, I selected 'send and receive' and made sure BOTH my phone number AND email address were selected. Everything SEEMS to be working fine now...
Hope this helps!

Can 2 people share an email account but have 2 seperate itune accounts?

Can 2 people who have seperate Itune accounts, share an email address?

You can't have seperate email addresses with one iCloud account, however, you can use one iCloud account as the master account with all your contacts, calendars etc in it, then add a second iCloud account and only used the email part of it.

XML Query works on one database and not working on others with errLPX-00241

I have one query as below
SELECT EXTRACTVALUE
(VALUE (xml_node),
'/inspectionActivityArtifact/ns2:landfillTypes/ns2:type[position()=1]',
'xmlns:ns2="http://dwm.sw.xmlNamespace/InspectionActivity"'
) AS TEST
FROM artifacts a,TABLE (XMLSEQUENCE ((XMLTYPE (NVL (artifact_data, '<empty></empty>'))))) xml_node
this works well on other databases but not working on one database. Everything is same configuration and OS and everything.
I can work on other XML parsing which is working fine but not this query.
Any idea ?

Uninstall deployment for an AppV5 application with Connection group fails if using a User Collection but works on Machine Collections.

Hi,
I'm having troubles to understand why my application in AppV5 that was sequenced with "MS. AppV Sequencer SP1" is somehow failing to be uninstalled properly only if this on is deployed with a
User collection but on the other hand the same application installs & uninstalls perfectly if its deployed using a
Machine collection?
Here is an extract of the Appenforce.log:
Remove-AppvClientPackage : Operation failed because package belongs to a
connection group on the machine. Please ensure that package does not belong to
any connection groups.
Operation attempted: Remove AppV Package.
AppV Error Code: 020000050C.
Please consult AppV Client Event Log for more details.
Au caractŠre Ligne:1 : 106
+ import-module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application
Virtualization\Client\Appv ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidResult : (:) [Remove-AppvClientPackage],
   ClientException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RemovePackageError,Microsoft.AppV.AppvClientPowe
   rShell.RemoveAppvPackage
I know that SCCM 2012 does not uninstalls application prerequisites unless they are targeted by their individual uninstall collection or script an uninstall procedure on the main application. But if I try using the Machine collection the error is not appearing
and the main application is removed and the Prereq will be left behind without causing any trouble at all !!
So my question is: Why an APPV5 application with a connection group should be pushed in a Machine context ?
Notice that I already tried to do the troubleshooting to remove the application manually with PowerShell.
- set-executionpolicy unrestricted
- Import-Module AppvClient
- Get-AppvClientPackage -Name PackageName*
- Unpublish-AppvClientPackage $PackageName
- Remove-AppvClientPackage $PackageName
And actually it was removed but the problem started again if I tried to re-install /remove the application.
Will really appreciate your comments.
Kind Regards.
Joel E.G.

Hi Paul,
To be honest we already experienced many troubles after the SCCM console was migrated from R1 to R2, SCCM client was updated too in consequence, but our AppV5 client still remains on SP1.
I'm afraid that any application that uses Connections Groups will have to be pushed on a Machine context and I just wanted to really understand more about this subject of why it was working that way and not by User is there something I missed with (Run Virtual)
that for any reason is not perfectly implemented to run on a user context?
Any way, we will be testing AppV5 Client SP2 really soon because we have no choice.
Regards,
Joel EG
