AE only starts on Admin account

Hi,
On my mac I have 2 accounts: an admin account and an other. Usually I work on the other. Since a week or two, my After Effects CC doesnt boot anymore on the other account but it still does on the admin...
No error messages, just a spinning wheel...
Also my CC desktop application does not open anymore in the other account...
Someone familliar with this problem?
Thanks,
Hans.

Error message???
Try enabling read write privileges in the User/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects folder. (path may not be accurate)

CS6 applications only work in admin accounts

iMacs, OS X 10.6.8, 4gb of ram:
Our district has a volume license of CS 6 Master collection. I recently started upgrading the iMacs in our computer labs to CS6, but the applications only work on the admin account. When I try to run the applications from a managed account, I get the user permission prompt stating that the user does not have permission to run the application.
If I select always allow, the application does not open.
If I click allow once, the application opens, but more permissions prompts come up for the applications specific components that have to run.
For Photoshop, for example, the user does not have permission for adobe_licutil, for AE, the mercury render engine, etc.
The application opens, but freezes (see error code below).
What I've done so far:
Ensured that the applications are checked off in the preferences so that the account has permission to run them, however, it appears that the user does not have permission for additional components which are not listed in system preferences and therefore cannot be checked off in system preferences. This did not work. The account has permission to run the apps but the same problems (1 & 2 above) persist.
Selected all of the application folders and changed the permissions in the terminal (chmod -rf 777 on all folders). The account has permission for all files/components.This did not work.
Changed the managed account to an admin account (allow user to adminster computer in system preferences) and all problems are fixed. All applications then open/run.
Solves the problem and all CS 6 apps run, however, we cannot have students use an account with admin privileges.
Changed the account back to a managed one, selected all CS 6 applications and utilities in the user account preferences, but the problems returned.
Any ideas on how this can be fixed?
All CS 6 applications result in the following error (the errors are essential identical, only the name of the application and reference to application specific components are different, not the entire log):

"If you checked "allow users to manage this computer" in system preferences it is not a managed account. Trying to set this up locally does not work."
Not true. OD or AD accounts are Managed, but may also be admins. But this is not the case in my Mac labs. I am doing this via the local machine.
"So (and I'm doing some educated guessing here), you might remove the settings in Workgroup Manager for that user or group, and then logon and execute the apps. Then restore the settings."
Just set the radio button (in Workgroup Manager, Applications) to "Never," save, and then start over using my method.
"I will have to confess that in this context, I don't know what whitelist means. But if it means that everyone has access to these folders, then it defeats the purpose that I am using it for. I did get Workgroup Manager to work, but unlike PC which allows you to OK a child app, WGM requires you to find the child app that fails and add it to the allowed application list."
You people are making things hard on yourselves here.
It is all very simple. One more time, just allow following:
/Library/
/Applications/
Then just disallow any applications that you want.
The problem described here is that non-admin users cannot run Adobe Creative Suite 6, correct? So, if the users are not admins, then they cannot copy anything to those folders. Hence, there is no issue. They cannot run applications from any other folder, either. Test it.
Clear as mud?

SMB File Sharing only works for Admin Accounts???

I'm using a mac mini as a small file server. It will share files to WindowsPCs using SMB but there is a problem.
On the Option dialog where you select accounts to share files and folders using SMB only Admin accounts show up. This is far from ideal as I'd prefer to using Sharing Only or Standard accounts.
Is this a known issue? Is there a solution?

What permissions are you setting on the share? My guess is you are only using user, group, and other (POSIX). You need to add an ACL to the list and then set read/write or full control.

Premiere Elements 9 - Playback only works on Admin account

Hi, I'm running Premiere Elements on a couple of iMacs 2.93GHz, Core i7, 8GB RAM, OSX 10.6.8. This is in a library so we have student accounts on all of our machines. Under the admin account Premiere works fine, no crashing and playback is working. However, on the student side whenever the same clip is trying to be played the playhead does not move, it sticks on the first frame and there is no audio. The only visible difference is that the play icon changes to pause. I was wondering if anyone would know a good way around this. I have tried the 9.01 patch to no success. It seems that the student side does not have permissions to some component. Hoping someone could shed some light on this issue. Thanks in advance.

Want to start new admin account and delete old one in 10.3.9: recommended?

I just bought a used iMac G4 running 10.3.9. It works fine, but -- being a used computer -- the main admin account has the previous owner's username and password. (And most importantly, the "Short Name" -- which can't be changed -- is the previous owner's personal name.)
I have the password for the existing admin account -- no problem there. But I would like to start a new admin account, with a "Short Name" and password of my choosing, rather than forever be tied down to using the previous owner's account.
I know how to start a new admin account, customized as I like -- again, that's not the problem. The question is: what would happen if, after I created a new admin account, I then deleted the original admin accounr created by the previous ower?
Is this possible?
Is this recommended?
Will it screw up "permissions" and "ownership" of existing files/applications, etc.?
I actually went through this process before, with a different used Mac, and I remember encountering some problems afterward, that I'd like to avoid this time around.
(Also, I should mention that the install disks did not come with the computer, so I can't re-install the OS without buying new disks.)
So:
Should I start a new admin account, then delete the old admin account?
Should I start a new admin account, and just leave both accounts on the machine but ignore the old one?
Or should I just leave things as is and endure having a goofy "Short Name" on my account?

OK, I took the plunge and it seemed to work out OK.
I created a new account. Then I marked it as an "Administrator" account (a trivial detail that I actually couldn't figure how to do for a few confusing minutes). Then I selected the new account to be the account that the computer automatically logs in to when it starts up. Then I restarted, and was logged into the new admin account. Then -- crossing my fingers -- I deleted the old admin account (and kept the deleted account info just in case). I then restarted again and, as hoped, everything started up fine, I was automatically logged into my new account with my desired "Short Name" etc., and when I checked, the old account was gone.
So far, everything has worked fine since then. So, I declare this issue resolved.

Applications only work in admin accounts

I am installing os 10.6.8 into a master iMac Intel Duo Core (some one year olds and some 3 year olds) computer and am need to deploy onto computers in a lab for students. I click on Parental controls to limit their applications. I allow everything but System Preferences. When I log in as the student (a managed account) I cannot access Illustrator and some other Adobe products. I cannot access Safari, Firefox, and a host of others.
I get a message saying I'm not allowed to use the application and i get a dialogue box to say "Always Allow" but it never allows after I use admin pw to allow. It just keeps asking for the admin pw.
The account works fine is I don't limit applications but the students will have access to changing the system preferences and passwords for student logins.
The same thing is happening if I try to use 10.7.
Does anyone have this issue? Is there a fix for it? Is there a workaround? Anything?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

ISync will only launch in Admin accounts in Snow Leopard

I use Sync Together from Mark Space. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, the application will not launch and stops responding upon launch so I force quit. When I changed the account to an admin, this does not happen. The same thing happens with iSync. I am guessing that the root problem of Sync Together is that iSync is not launching.
Can anyone else launch iSync while logged in as a 'Standard' account?

There was a problem with the sync services. This article helped me solve this problem:

Photoshop Elements 6 in non-admin account?

Migration problem (created second admin account)

So I just got a new Macbook Pro and wanted to transfer my music and documents from my time machine from my old Macbook.
I did it, but now I have a second Admin account with the music and documents. I don't want a second admin account and would like to delete it.
I only want one admin account, so how would I migrate the music and documents from the time machine to my current admin account?
So my questions are how do I delete the second admin account that was created and just mirgate it to the current admin account?
Another question that is off topic is: the feature on safari that when you quit safari that it opens up the same window. Can that be changed to just being the homepage at all times when I reopen safari after it was quit?

Drag them over to the original accounts Public folder, or move them to the hard drive level Users/Shared folder. You may experience some permissions problems you will have to fix.

Freezing during start up - only on admin account

I have two accounts enabled on my Macbook Pro: One main account which is the admin, and one for my boyfriend to use.
A few nights ago I downloaded a pdf file from an email and the computer froze. (the file download could just be a huge coincidence) I restarted and when I try to log in under my Admin account, everything loads, but I can't do anything; The cursor just stays as the spinning wheel as if it's loading, but nothing ever loads.
When I login using the other account everything works fine. What's going on? How can I fix this?
I've tried safe mode but it just does the same thing.

Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Can't start laptop - problems with automatic repair, need acces to admin account but there is none. HELP! :(

Hello,
I'm having problems with my windows 8 laptop.
This afternoon I shut it down, and went to work. A few hours later when I came back home I noticed the little blue lights on the keyboard (showing me that the pc was charging and that my wifi is on) were still on. Normally these are off when the pc is turned
off.
I tried starting the laptop but nothing happened, the screen stayed black. I held down the 'on' button to force it to turn off, and turned it on again.
I then got a textmessage on the startup loading screen that there were problems with my C drive (only drive the laptop has), so it went to automatic repair.
*my laptop's language is set to Dutch so I'm translating everything :)*
It gave me 2 options:
1: Restart computer
2: Advanced options.
I tried option 1, didnt work ofcourse, it just restarted and I got back to this screen, so I checked what option 2 had to offer.
I got to a screen with 3 options:
1: Continue to windows 8
2: Solve Problems
3: Shut down
When I tried option 1 the computer just restarted and went back to the same screen.
When I tried option 3 it shut down as it should.
Option 2 gave me 3 other options:
1: Renew PC
2: Factory reset
3: advanced options
Option 1 just restarted my pc and took me back to screen 1.
Option 2 I havent tried yet, because it erases all of my files. This is a last resort.
Option 3 gave me 6 other options:
1: Systemrepair
2: Repair with installationcopy
3: Startuprepair
4: CMD
5: UEFI firmware settings
6. Startupsettings.
I can't use option 1,2,3,4 because I need to log in to an administratoraccount.
The bad part is: the laptop doesn't have an administratoraccount.
It was my parents laptop, and theyve set it up. I always assumed the account was an admin because
I had acces to everything and didn't need a password to run things as admin and such.
Turns out it isn't.
I get this message (translated) when I try to acces one of these:
'You have to log in as administrator to continue, but this pc doesn't have an administratoraccount'.
I can't believe microsoft added a check to see if the pc has an admin account on it, and even added a specific message to show when it doesn't, but they didnt add the option to just use these tools when there is no admin account present? What were they thinking!
Option 5 I havent tried yet, when I click it it says I have to restart to acces these settings, but I dont want to mess with something I know nothing about.
Option 6 gives me a few options like run the pc in safety mode, run windows repair and disable auto-restart after something has gone wrong with windows. But when I select one of these options it doesnt work. It just takes me back to auto repair. It just doesn't
doe anything.
There are no other options. Nothing I can do. My pc is stuck like this. The only thing I *might* be able to do is a factory reset, but I havent tried, and that could also just give me an error about me not being admin.
Some backstory of what I think caused this problem:
I believe the problems started a week ago, last friday.
I'm using a program called 'AVG TuneUp'. This program gave me a message telling me it was 3 months since it had checked my C drive for defects or anything. And it asked me if I wanted it to do so. Unknowing of the problems that would follow, I pressed 'ok'
(or whatever it was).
I had to restart my pc for it to begin, because it could only check the drive during startup. It went to 12% and stayed there for like half an hour, after which I decided to google (on my phone) if that was normal. It turned out that that option doesn't work
well with windows 8 and that lots of people's computers got ruined after using it. I stressed and I tried to shut it down, but since I was still in startup the only thing I could do was force the pc to shut down, so I held down the power button and it shut
down. I restarted and managed to abort the proces. The laptop started fine and everything worked.
A few days later a game/program I use called League of Legends started to act weird, because I could not log in on my account (for the game) anymore. Some error with IE settings, which I was unable to fix. For more info about that go to http://boards.eune.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/help-support-en/8Eoz315J-cant-log-in-to-lol-and-cant-log-in-to-steam-either-weird-coincidence.
Although I doubt it will help.
That forum post also contains a link to a post I made on the Steam forum about not being able to log into steam anymore. (Steam is another program I used). I wasn't able to log into steam anymore about 1-2 days after I wasn't able to log into LoL.
Also at the same time my Norton sortof stopped working. It showed up as active in my task manager and AVG TuneUp program manager, but it wasn't in my task bar and I couldnt acces the control panel.
Then yesterday I checked my pc for errors with AVG TuneUp's 1-click maintenance tool, and it told me my C drive was fragmented badly, so I defragmented it using the tool. Laptop still worked fine after that.
And then today I got the error on startup about my C drive having errors.
Long story shot: Problem is probably caused because I stopped the repair of my C drive with the avg tuneup tool before it was done, however its weird that I'm only experiencing (big) problems a week after that happened.
Hardware info:
It's a Samsung Ativ book 6 (google it for all the specs :) )
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
CPU: intel 3230M @ 2.60 gHz

Hello,
Perhaps the operating system is incorrectly powering down or shifting the wireless adapter to a low power state in order to improve run time while on battery?
Try going into the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), locate the wireless adapter under the Network Adapters tree, view its Properties, and on the Power Management tab, disable (un-check) the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option.
Please let us know if that makes any difference (or not).

Odd screen corruption only with admin account?

I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm having an odd screen corruption issue on my Mac Pro 2.0. As the cursor passes the mid point of my midpoint of the screen, the screen will "jump" or "shift" and add a row or column of pixels to the monitor. Any text or graphics around the these newly created rows will become corrupt or appear doubled. Also the cursor will behave very oddly. When rolling over a text field in an application sometimes the arrow won't convert to the text entry icon, the entry icon will appear superimposed on the arrow icon.
At first i thought it was a hardware issue (video card going bad ) but Hardware Test came back clean. As a last resort I created a new user and voila! the corruption goes away when logged in under the new user! I'm assuming there is a corrupted file somewhere associated with the admin user account. Obviously I can't delete the user as it's the owner/admin account. Any place I can start looking where the offending file might be found?
Mark

Hmm, I've got screen zoom turned off so I don't think that's it. Now some of my icons are coming up corrupted,but again, only when I'm logged into my admin acct. Is there a preference file that in the user/~/library/preferences file that i could toss and see if it helps? I could always just toss the whole preference files folder after backing up and then try replacing them one at a time but I'd rather not do that if I have a choice.

Domain Admin Account cannot logon to member servers by remote. It can only logon to Domain Controllers

Our environment has both 2008R2 and 2012R2 Domain Controllers. Recently one of our Domain Admins started having problems logging onto all servers by remote desktop except for domain controllers. The error message is as follows:
"To log on to this remote computer, you must be granted the Allow log on through Terminal
Services right. By default, members of the Remote Desktop Users group have this right. If you are not a member of the Remote
Desktop Users group or another group that has this right, or if the Remote Desktop Users group does not have this right, you must be granted this right manually"
All the other Domain Admin Accounts do not have this problem. Suggested solutions recommend checking local policies on the individual servers however I feel that is not
right. Also there many servers hence doing that in each member server would be cumbersome. There must be solution that requires a single action for all servers and also does not involve creating a new account. The account was recently used to implement
a Windows 2012R2 WSUS server and besides the DC's, it is the only other server the account can remote into. This is strange. Help please.

Hi,
Does that user has permission for remoting before?
To start with, there are two types of user rights; Logon rights & Privileges. In simpler terms these are:
1) Remote Logon: rights to machine
2) Logon: privileges for access to the RDP-TCP Listener
The Remote Logon is governed by the “Allow Logon through Terminal Services” group policy. This is under
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment.
Also check RDP-TCP listener properties. More information.
“Allow Logon through Terminal Services” group policy and “Remote Desktop Users” group.

iCloud should still help you reduce some hard drive space. Just select "optimize" in the icloud tab in Mac Photo App preferences.
Granted, not the same as completely offloading your library to a back-up drive at your location.

Adobe 9 opens PDF online only in admin account

Okay, this is very strange and I've tried the last two days to figure this out:) Probably something very easy that I overlooked. This is what happens...
It is not ALL PDF docs that don't display. Most do. But there's a military web site to view fitness reports that only downloads and displays PDF docs in admin mode. When I click on the PDF document in user account it opens a new page and appears to be downloading the PDF to be displayed. But then, the browser only displays a blank white page and says "Done" in the bottom status bar of the browser. Now when I'm in admin account... It opens up no questions asked.
This is what I have done so far. I have tried unchecking the "Display PDF in browser", uninstalled 9.0 and reinstalled, uninstalled acrobat(have not reinstalled), uninstalled 9.0 and installed 8.1.3, deleted the 2 registry folders that adobe recommends and repaired it...
I believe that's all I've done so far. Is there an access problem? Maybe plugins? But I'm almost positive user account has the adobe plugin because it can open other PDF docs from the web with no problem...
I'd appreciate any advice. I havn't read many problems like this one out there. Someone posted this very problem on experts exchange but no one answered. Said he fixed it by rolling back to 8.0 and that didn't work for me:(

I've been having the same problem with pdfs I create from either InDesign CS4 or Word docs through Word 2007 (both 97-2003 and 2007 docs), which are then accessed through links on our webpages. The IE browser window comes up blank displaying Done accompanied by a blank error dialogue box with a question mark and an OK button.
We're still diagnosing the why and hows, and whether outsiders accessing these links have the same problem, but I've found if you click the OK and refresh the browser a couple of times, and give it some time to load, the pdf shows eventually. Once it's cached it shows every time (at least for me).
Firefox doesn't seem to have the same problems so using that will help most people.
I'll write again when and if I have further info on this.
