4 accounts but only 2 can run safari

OK - I'm a newbie to Macs but here is my situation.
There are 4 accounts on my computer.
Mine and my husbands and run and use safari just fine.
both of my daughers, who are managed accounts, can not run safari.
They get the "Safari cannot open webpage." error
This is really weird because just 2 days ago they were using it just fine. As a matter of fact, they have been using safari since we got the computer a year ago.
What's the deal! I cannot figure it out.
I've shutdown, restarted, and a whole bunch of other stuff!
HELP please!

Hello,
"I've shutdown, restarted, and a whole bunch of other stuff!" Can you define... whole bunch of stuff? If you haven't repaired disk permissions..
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

  • MAC Mail:  I have 2 accounts set up.  I used to be able to add attachments to both accounts, but now I can only attach using 1 of the accounts.  The other one doesn't work.

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • Windows based accounting software QUICK BOOKS can run on Mac OS X Lion??????

    windows based accounting software QUICK BOOKS can run on Mac OS X Lion??????

    Oops! Sorry pmittal. Completely missed that you said "windows" at the beginning of your post. Thomas is absolutely correct. Intuit is like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde with QuickBooks. The Windows Pro version is full of features. You pay the same amount for the Mac Pro version, but it is severely crippled in comparison.
    Believe it or not, Intuit actually has a company policy that the Mac version will never be feature compatible with the Windows version. How's that for treating paying customers as less than second rate! Wish I were making that up, but it's true. Read the blog link. In particular:
    Forget the fact that Intuit’s Mac products have always paled in comparison to their Windows counterparts by missing 90% of the features that Windows users have long enjoyed. Forget the fact that Intuit has worked overtime to make sure that their Mac & Windows products would never be cross-platform compatible (this is an internal corporate rule at Intuit).
    And this, later in the article:
    Many years before QuickBooks was resurrected for the Mac in 2006, a smug Intuit employee at Macworld Expo told me, “We don’t need to update QuickBooks, because it’s still the No. 1 best-selling accounting package for Mac. Mac users still purchase it, even without any new updates.” Seems like their attitude hasn’t changed much.
    I know most folks consider blogs unreliable, but I first read this same information at a much more reliable site, I just can't seem to locate it again.
    Despite all that, I do use QuickBooks for Mac. Why? One, that's what I started with for my small business because "QuickBooks" is what you always hear to use. I had no idea at the time how crippled it was. Good news (for me) there is that it does more than everything I need, seeing as how I don't need much for an in-home business. Two, my accountant is much happier when he comes over to finalize entries that he already basically knows the program instead of having to wade through something completely unfamiliar, such as the greatly superior AccountEdge (There are two Mac accounting programs with this exact same name. One is pretty expensive, the other is fairly cheap). The one linked to in the blog is the less expensive version, with the Basic version going for $99.
    I'd consider switching, but the other packages can't import QuickBooks data. Or at least not accurately. I have too many years of data invested in QuickBooks to consider trying to switch now. One of the other Mac accounting packages offer (or used to) a service to translate your data at so much per record. Well, with thousands of records, that would cost hundreds of dollars. Forget it. So I'm kind of stuck, like it or not. The only real way out of it is to run Windows in a VM and import my Mac QuickBooks data into the Windows version. But since the Mac version does do all I need, that would be rather pointless.

  • I deleted my iCloud account, but now I can't use Find My iPhone. And I can't setup a new account because it writes that this account was assigned to iCloud already...

    Hi guys. I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5... Its great, I wanted to test out the new iCloud so I enabled it on first iOS 5 setup.
    So now I wanna delete it. So I did. Because my battery just wont work the way it used to on iOS 4.3.5. I guess it tries to connect to the internet so it could auto backup stuff. Well I dont need it. Mainly because I don't want to pay for extra space, and my free 5GB are almost done. Also I rather back it up on my PC.
    I deleted my iCloud account but now I can't use FindMyiPhone! When I connect to the app it wont find my phone. When I enabled iCloud again it worked.
    So I deleted it again and it stoped working again... I tried to setup a new account via MobileMe "Settings> email blah blah blah" and it didn't work because the account was already assigned to use iCloud only I guess...
    What should I do?

    Its solved I just restored it to that point

  • I own a iPod touch and I have an iTunes account but all i can download is podcasts no games or music.when I try to download games it says "request cannot be completed " please help

    I own a iPod touch and I have an iTunes account but all i can download is podcasts no games or music.when I try to download games it says "request cannot be completed " could there be a problem with it ?
    Please help

    Honestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • HT204387 When I connect my Iphone 5C to Blue tooth it gets connected but only I can hear incoming voice. The called party cannot hear my voice. may i have the solution please.

    I have just bought this expensive phone. I tried connecting to Bluetooth car kit. It gets connected but only incoming voice can be heard. No voice goes out from Iphone.
    I also tried connecting to Samsung Bluetooth but the problem is same. There is only in coming communication and no out going.. But both the Blue tooth devices works fine with my Samsung SII.
    A working solution help will be very juch appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
    I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

  • I have a MobileMe account but only received 5gb worth of iCloud storage, how do I get the other 20gb?

    How do I get my 20gb that come with my MobileMe account?

    You are a bit early.
    Wait for a few month.  iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and the Photos.app for Mac are being beta tested now and will be available soon on your Mac. Then you can store your photo library in iCloud and keep optimised versions of your photos on your Mac locally, with the full sized versions in iCloud. And all your devices will be able to access the photos in iCloud.
    See Apple's preview of the new Photos for Mac:  http://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
    Fill your library, not your device.
    iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your devices. When you choose "Optimize Mac Storage", it stores all your full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud in their original formats, while keeping storage-saving versions on each device. When you make an edit, the original image will download automatically. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.
    and also:  Photos for the Mac Is Clean, Fast, Connected — and Unfinished
    The iPads and iPhones can already do it, but the Mac can only access this library using the web interface,  see:  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    Use the time, till Photos will be released, to consolidate your photo library. Get all places and faces tagged, all keywords, titles,  and ratings ready, duplicates removed, events and albums well structured, and when Photos will be released, you can simply let it migrate the iPhoto or Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library.  Enable "Optimize Storage" and you will be able to have the bulk of your photos in iCloud.

  • I now have 2 user accounts, but only want one.

    so i stupidly created an account on my new macbook pro when i first turned it on. the next day, i decided to use the Migration Assistant to drag over my files and software from my old laptop. the computer set up a new account based on how my old laptop was set up. they both have administrator capability, so i can delete either one depending on which one i'm logged into (in other words, whichever one i'm logged in as, that one becomes the main administrator and is listed in the system preferences Accounts window under "My Account" and the other one is listed under "Other Accounts." so i deleted the first unnecessary account, but saved the contents of it as a disk image. do i need anything in there before i permanently delete it? like the Library, or is the Library in the other account sufficient? does this make any sense?
    brian moss
    santa monica.

    sounds logical. i just looked through disk images and compared the libraries and they seem to be the pretty much the same, aside from the old stuff it brought over. some of the dates are newer on some duplicate stuff from the deleted account, like font collections. i wonder if those are really any different or not. but in terms of customization, i hardly did anything. i saved a text edit file with my complaint to apple about the computer coming with 10.4.11 loaded and a disk for 10.5
    and now i see there's a 10.5.1 already. can't even get through on the phone...
    thanks,
    brian

  • How can anyone add to a SharePoint list but only some can edit all fields?

    My office has a list on our SharePoint for product requests. We were trying to make it so that the "+Add Item" link was available to all who want to request a map but only specific fields such as Name or Description would be editable on their
    end. Once the item is in the system, the SharePoint admins in our office could update things like Status or Analyst. However, after talking to the individual in charge of our SharePoint permissions told us that we cannot set this basic ability to "everybody"
    and instead need to create a special group with limited permissions. Unforunately we have high-turnover between our office and other locations and see this causing a problem in the near future. Is there a work around such as creating a web app or form that
    will push the necessary data into the SharePoint list or maybe just send it via email to designated recipients in our office to process it?

    I do not see any simple solutions here.  You have various options, each with different limitations and each will require some effort to implement.  Mix and match as best meets your needs:
    Create a standard list as usual*. In the lists's Advanced settings, in the Item-Level Permissions group, select the options Read all items and Create items and edit items that were created by the user.  This approach lets users create their own items
    and edit them, and they can still view other's, but they cannot edit other's.  Note: some list templates do not provide the Item-Level Permissions group of settings.
    Create a custom permissions level: copy it from Contribute.  Remove all of the Edit and Delete list permissions.  This approach lets your users create new and view existing entries, but not delete or edit them.
    Configure Incoming Email, and email-enable the target list.  You can configure the list to accept email according to the permissions that person has with respect to the list.  Thus, for example, a person with Contribute permission level would
    be able to send email to the list but a person with Read permission level would not.
    Create the list.  This will also create default New, Edit and View forms.  Customize the New form in SharePoint Designer 2013 so as not to display the fields you do not wish the user to edit.
    Create new site fields and content types: create one content type that displays only a few of these new fields and the other that displays all of them.  Add these to the list.  Configure a custom content type as the default for the list that displays
    only a few fields.  Users will see this content type when they create a new entry.  Edit the New list form to display only this content type.  Edit the View list form to display only this content type.

  • HT4550 I downloaded snow leopard but now I can use safari

    I need help - I can' use safari after I downloaded 10.6.3 - Help

    Use Apple menu - Software Update until no new OS or Safari updates show - that should leave you with 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. If you still can't use Safari - try opening it directly from the main Applications folder.
    If you still have problems - describe them fully, including any crash reports or error messages.

  • How can I delete an account, BUT only after having saved data

    I need to delete my account from the iPhone BUT not before having saved the current data. How?
    My Calendar, Contacts, Bookmarks sync is not working. As a solution, I was told to delete account from the iPhone, reset the iPhone, create my MobileMe account again on the iPhone and select Calendar, Contacts and Bookmarks to be synced using MobileMe.
    Fine, but I get a warning that all the information that I currently have in Calendar, Contacts and Bookmarks on my iPhone will be lost!!!
    That would be a problem, as I have entered a great number of new contacts on the iPhone, and I really don't want to lose them. Is there no way to MERGE without losing what's on the iPhone? Or can I save the Contacts and Calendar data somehow before I delete the account of the iPhone, so I can import them back later in a new account?
    In a nutshell: I need to delete my account from the iPhone BUT not before having saved the current data. How?

    If the sync process is not working between your iPhone and the MobileMe "cloud", is it working properly between the Address Book and iCal on your Mac with the MobileMe "cloud"?
    With a MM account, you can sync contacts and calendar events over the air, or direct with the supported applications on your compute via the iTunes sync process. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time. In order to sync direct with the supported applications on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you must turn Contacts and Calendars off for over the air syncing on your iPhone, which will remove all contacts and calendar events from your iPhone.
    I'm afraid you will need to manually enter the new contacts with the Address Book, the new calendar events with iCal on your Mac.
    There is an outside chance. Contacts and calendar events are included with your iPhone's backup. You can sync with iTunes to update your iPhone's backup before deleting your MM account on your iPhone - I suggest turning Contacts and Calendars off on your iPhone before deleting the account.
    Follow deleting your MM account from your iPhone by restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. This should restore the contact and calendar events on your iPhone from your iPhone's backup. Follow this by syncing with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
    There is a chance this won't work and if not, all contacts and calendar events on your iPhone will be lost in the process.

  • Halo opens on one account but only runs the promo video on the other account. The menu flashes up but goes directly to the promo then shuts down. Is this malware

    I'm not sure I'm in the right discussion group.
    On my husband's laptop OS 10.6.8 he opened Halo which has worked fine in the past. Instead of the usual loading then menu it flashes on screen the menu then immediately launches into a video which features all the maps on Halo then quits. I tried removing and reinstalling from the disk but no change. However I opened Halo on his administrative account and it worked fine.
    Can anyone tell me how I can check what is interfering with the game? He recently got an email that contained a virus but didn't download or open the attachments. Removed the email from online account by putting it in the trash which was also online.
    He is not very internet literate and downloads files without caution sometimes. I'd appreciate any input.
    Thanks

    I know nothing about this game, but since it works in the other account the problem might be a corrupt preference file. Go to the library>preferences in your home folder and see if there's a file named halo something.plist. Move it to the Desktop and see what happens if you open up the game now. You will probably have to redo some settings for the game.
