Apps open and quit slower in one admin account than in another

On the same computer (iMac 27" Late 2012, 3.2GHz Core i5 8GB 1600MHz) running the same OS (10.9.2), some applications open and quit much slower within one admin account than another.  SPSS 21 for Mac, for example, takes 6 mins 30 secs to open and 3 mins 40 secs to quit in one admin account, but takes only 1 min 8 secs to open and 6 secs to quit in another admin account.  I have already deleted the SPSS journal file specific to each admin account, and it doesn't help.  I first thought that the problem was specific to SPSS, but now it appears that other applications also open slower in one admin account than another (although the problem is not as bad with other applications).
Is there a reason that some applications open and quit much slower in one admin account than another?  If so, how can I fix it?  Thank you.

Hi,
Make her account an Admin Account.
A Managed Account and Parental Controls tend to be somewhat linked and a sliding scale of things.
If there is no reason to Manage her account there is no reason why she cannot also be an Admin account.
She should also Check iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security and see who is in the Blocked or Allowed Lists and see if you are in the wrong one.

  • Word and Excel slow to open and quit. Pinwheel spins.

    Hi all,
    My MBP 2.8, 4GB is rather slow to open or quit my MS Office applications, my iWork apps open and quit much faster.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you kindly

    This is not for MS applications. They have their own forum.
    You are probably better off with how to clean up and do some housekeeping maintenance, and Using OS X 10.x forum.
    Try backup and repairs, and then search for and always include what versions etc. You may find Google has some ideas and suggestions.

  • Automatically open and quit app at specific times

    I want to open the DVD Player app at a specific time in the morning and have it play a DVD all day (it's looped). I then want the app to quit at a specific time at night. The computer will go to sleep from when the app quits until right before it opens (I have that part figured out).
    Can someone show me how to open and quit the app at specific times or point me somewhere where I can learn how to do this? I'm an AppleScript newbie, so explanations are grateful. I will be using a Mac Mini for this installation.
    Thanks!

    Use iCal alarms to run the following scripts:
    tell application "DVD Player" to run
    tell application "DVD Player" to quit
    Each line is a separate script.

  • Apps open and close

    hello
    i have a iphone 4. My apps open and close immediatly. I can't use them.
    What can I do ?
    thanks for your help
    Chris

    Hey Chris,
    It just happened to me. If all the brought apps are closing immediately (and excluding the built in ones) then try either:
    1. Restart your phone.
    2. Hold the home button for the task bar and hold the app for a few seconds until they jiggle and a red cicle with a line in it shows up. Touch each one (this is just deleting them and "refreshing them", you aren't really deleting the app).
    3. Go to the App store and buy a free app, any, and install it. Try opening one of your apps now. This worked for me. If it works, you can go ahead and delete the free app.
    4. If all fails...restore your phone.
    Good luck!

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know.  If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
    Also, according to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • I have model A1458...been acting possessed.... apps opening and closing on their own...zooming in and out... not always responsive to my touch... what could be the problem?

    i have model A1458...been acting possessed.... apps opening and closing on their own...zooming in and out... not always responsive to my touch... what could be the problem?

    The two most likely culprits would be a faulty cable/charging block or a bad digitizer. Try charging the device with a different charger and cable. If the problem goes away, then the problem is with your charger. If it does not, try the basics of resetting, restoriing from back up, restoring as new. If you still have the problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My ipad 4 dropped and now apps open and close on their own

    My ipad 4 dropped off my lap.  The glass is intact but now all the apps open and close randomly on their own.  I tried to reboot it and it didnt workd.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    THANKS for your prompt reply  Bluetooth is off in my laptop and IPhone.. and in fact the reset is the only thing that can make it back to normal. But for a lil while. I wonder if it is the touch, or the home botton... both things are very expensive to replace, so I wouldn't like to spend $$ and continue having the prob.....

  • My ipad2 has gone haywire with apps opening and closing pictures flashing on safari history messages, key board etc. I have tried rebooting it to no avail.

    My Ipad 2 is possessed. I was reading a book when the pages started flipping on hteir own, with apps opening and closing. I did a cold boot, but it was no help. No, it has not gotten wet.

    Sounds like a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support.

    Hi Harvester,
    I've been having this issue for a while, and I FINALLY got it to work.  For what it's worth, here's what I did.
    I was trying to send files from my laptop to my desktop and for some reason i saw that my desktop couldn't find my laptop.  I went to the Sharing settings and saw that under my "Computer Name" there was nothing there.  This may have happened due to my upgrade to Mavericks.  Once I placed filled that info in, and restarted my laptop.  Lo and behold, Creative Cloud and Growl started working side by side again
    This may not be your issue, but I thought I'd pass it along.

  • ALL of my 3rd party apps open and close immediately

    after connecting to itunes after a few months now ALL of my 3rd party apps open and close immidiately when i try to open them

    First try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  If that doesn't help, try downloading a new App free app from the app store to see if that helps.

    Try a hard reset to see if that clears things up.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, it may be necessary to restore the iPod from a previous backup or even factory defaults.

  • My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6  years.  We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc.  Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).
