Any Way to modify a users Library / Font as admin?

The Users account Takes around 25-45 minutes to login...
Im sure that the user has multiple Corrupt fonts and need to replace all of them with known good fonts.
After the log in window the Desktop Background Image shows the Blue Spot light icon show up but noting else loads.. for around 25-45 minutes...
Working at a News Paper the User has 1345 font's under her user account... While we only use around 500 fonts normally..
using any other account login takes around 15 seconds or so.
Should I try Safe mode and Nuke her fonts that way.. Or is it possible for me to modify her library font file form my admin account?
Thanks

Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
sudo mv /path1/ /path2/
where path1 is the current location of the folder or file targeted and path2 is the desired location of it. This command will prompt for the administrator password, which won't produce anything in the Terminal.

  • Can't install fonts in user/library/fonts folder

    I have a problem which has a number of different symptoms (I presume they are related as they all started at the same time):
    I can't install any fonts into my user/library/fonts folder. Or, rather, I can install them but they vanish about five seconds later
    I have three files on my desktop. Every 60 seconds (precisely) they vanish for about a second and then reappear
    Seemingly randomly, but always when I empty the trash, I get a message saying "The last time you opened Finder, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?"
    The error message I get in (3) above always disappears when the desktop files blink as in (2) above.
    These problems only started in the last 24 hours. Yesterday I installed an update which took me to Mail 6.6. I also installed a Microsoft update to Word. I also installed an update for TechTool Pro taking me from v6 to v7.
    Solutions I have tried:
    I have checked SMART status (no problems)
    I have verified volume structures (no problems)
    I have reset boot and kernel caches
    I have deleted font caches
    I have reset home directory permissions and ACLs
    I'm running a MacBookPro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    I am stuck, puzzled, frustrated but hopeful that someone in this community can help me out.
    If you can, I would be so very very grateful.

    If I am reading it correctly, do I boot using the drive copy, change premissions using utility, then reboot using the original drive? Is there another way to repair premissions, change password?

    Also when I called Wacom support they actually had me create a new user account to install the software. It's odd that I can install the fonts in the applications folder in one user account but they do not show up in the administrator account.
    As I stated, if that new account was an admin one, the fonts should be available to all users. Alternatively, they might be user specific, but you'll have to ask Wacom about that.

  • Is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle db

    Can Any one tell me, is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle database.

    Hello Nunhum,
    I guess this was not my question.. This is not what I m asking.. I know there is not a single sql statement in oracle ,which could create multiusers alike UNIX/LINUX(OS LEVEL), Whatever you have written..is simple creating them one by one.
    What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

    Your itunes library should be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • Any way to set a user's UI Language or Report Locale at Runtime?

    Hi ALL
    I need some guidance. We have a requirement to display a report in either German or English based on the report query result. Is there any way to set a user's UI Language or Report Locale at Runtime? I've read several past blogs and forum posts, but no one seems to have the answer.
    Thank you so much!

    Here's a workaround if you don't come up with a better answer:

    [int]$Timeout=10
    $sb= {
    $clnt = new-object System.Net.WebClient

    [int] $($clnt.ResponseHeaders["Content-Length"]/1mb)
    $clnt.Dispose()
    $PowerShell =
    [PowerShell]::Create().
    AddScript($sb).
    AddArgument($SourceFile)
    ($Timer = New-Object diagnostics.stopwatch).Start()
    $job = $PowerShell.BeginInvoke()
    While ($timer.Elapsed.TotalSeconds -lt $Timeout)
    if ($job.IsCompleted)
    $PowerShell.EndInvoke($job)
    $PowerShell.Dispose()
    Return
    else { Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500 }

    Since CSOM provides methods for operations related to people per

  • My old iTunes library has been replaced by a new library, I didn't download a new version or authorize it. I have lost all my music, is there any way of retrieving my old library.

    My old iTunes library has been replaced by a new library, I didn't download a new version or authorize it. I have lost all my music, is there any way of retrieving my old library.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Is there any way to transfer an entire library from an ipod to a new laptop (not just the purchases)?

    My laptop was stolen that had my itunes installed and was synced with my ipod classic. I now have a new laptop. Is there any way I can transfer ALL the music from my ipod to itunes on the new laptop, not just the purchases? I don't have access to all the CD's etc that I originally downloaded onto my ipod.

  • Any way to modify document safely?

    If you extend AbstractDocument (at some level), and you want to write a method that does a whole lot of operations on a document at once...like cutting, pasting, changing attributes, etc.. in one method call, is there ANY way to be able to do this safely (without the chance of another thread changing the document while you're working on it.)
    You can't use readLock() obviously, you also can't use writeLock() since all the lower level methods (that you DEPEND on) also use writeLock() before modifying the document, and calling writeLock() from a thread that already has the lock throws an exception.
    You can't control all edit paths since you don't have access to the undo stuff, otherwise you could add your own level of locks.
    Why in the world was AbstractDocument designed this way? It makes it virtually useless to extend it for functionality since all the functionality is effectively confined in AbstractDocument.

    Why "obviously"? The JavaDoc says:
    @exception IllegalStateException thrown on illegal lock
    attempt. If the document is implemented properly, this can
    only happen if a document listener attempts to mutate the
    document. This situation violates the bean event model
    where order of delivery is not guaranteed and all listeners
    should be notified before further mutations are allowed.
    So if you're getting the exception, you're doing it wrong.

  • [bug tracker issue] Any way to modify the bug detail of mine?

    Greetings,
    I just found i can't modify the bug report  after i reported a new bug in the bug tracker of archlinux.
    it is quite inconvent and weird, since it's quite common that you want to update the bug detail or change something wrong. 
    at least , in my opinion. -_-
    so Is any reason for such restirction?
    and is any way to make me modify my bug report?

  • Any way to simulate a user drawing a straight line in Captivate 6?

    I'm trying to create a software simulation. While most of the user interaction with the software involves just clicking buttons and entering values in various fields, there is one place where the user has to draw a straight line from one point to another. Basically, I would like Captivate to dynamically display the line as it is being drawn (i.e., getting longer as the mouse moves away from the starting point).
    Is there any way this can be done in Captivate? Thanks.

    Hello,
    Welccome to Adobe Forums.
    Software Simulation (Automatic Recording) create slides on event based (Keyboard button press or Click on Mouse)
    When you draw something it will not show you the drawing at the time of recording, for that you can use Video Demo
    Thanks,

  • Is there any way to hide my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro so no one can see my music library?

    I need to take my MacBook Pro to school, but I do not want anyone to see my iTunes library on it. Is there any way to log out, or even hide iTunes, so no once can see my music?

    Perhaps if you describe what you're going to be doing in more detail we can offer other solutions. But, really, beyond not using iTunes where people can see it or not letting others use your MBP there isn't really a way to "hide" the content in iTunes.

  • Any way to transfer a large library from Mac over to PC ??

    My iMac G5 is on the verge of dieing. Apple gave me a new midplane board last year, but now it seems I'm also blessed with a bad power supply and/or capacitors. Worse yet, this cropped up a couple of months past the "sorry we sold you a defective product" warranty period. I don't know if I'm going to be able to talk Apple into repairing it or not - and to be honest, I don't currently have enough funds to replace it. So, if Apple won't fix what was broke to start with, I'm 100% crap out of luck.
    My question - my wife has a large iTunes library she uses for her dance studio. It's somewhere in the vicinity of 80 to 90 gigs worth of music. Is there any way I can easily transfer this library over to one of my PCs as a backup so it's not lost? I'm not sure how many more times the iMac will even turn on at this point, and the next time it boots up I'd like to be able to do something to keep from losing her library, which I'd consider to be irreplaceable.
    Suggestions?
    Wish me luck when I call Apple support next week. Hopefully they'll have pity on me for all the problems I've had with this iMac and send me the replacement parts I need!

    This article in Apple's knowledge base should give you some ideas.
    Best of luck.
