Can not enable fonts for User library in Font Book

Hi all,
For some reason I can not enable the user library in the font book using the options in the font book. This means that the User Library is "off". I have tried the following but none of them have worked:
* Reboot.
* Delete the Font preferance file.
* Undo the font book via booting in safe mode and then rebooting in normal mode. Delete the trash which contains the font cache.
* Manually insert fonts into User>Library>Fonts and restart.
* Manually empty user fonts folder and re-insert fonts back in.
* Delete the user fonts folder and re-create it and insert all fonts back in
Have also tried a few combinations of the above but none of them have worked. I do not want to use the system library fonts folder as this machine is on a network and the users should not have admin rights to their machines.
I have also checked the user rights to the user fonts folder and all seems ok there.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem so that I can enable the User font library?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I have found that for me, on both a PowerMac G5 and an Intel iMac, both running 10.4.8 with all updates, turning on FileVault reliably causes the problem. I.E., if FontBook is working fine on an account which does not have FileVault turned on and I turn on FileVault, then the User collection in FontBook is greyed out and Enable "User" doesn't work. If FileVault is on, none of the suggested work-arounds that I have read about in these discussions or in Apple's support articles help.
Sometimes, turning off FileVault is sufficient. Other times, I must turn off FileVault and follow the work-around in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302551 . Sometimes, I must turn off FileVault, throw away the FontBook preferences and restart.

    Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
    This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
    Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply,  then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
    I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes.  Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
    I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
    Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

  • Can I enable the root user account from the log in screen when I am locked out of the machine?

    Hello everyone,
    I am working on my friends mac to get it ready to sell. I went into the advanced options of the user and changed the name of the account. That's all I changed. I did read the warning that said if anything was changed it could cause damage, that's why I only changed the name of the user account. I didn't want to mess with anything else. Well, needless to say, I am locked out of the machine. Apparently the root user, system administrator, account was not enabled and I am stuck at the screen that I can get to with my installation disc. So how can I enable the root user account and get back onto the machine from the screen I am at? Can I enable the root user from terminal? I spent a good 8 hours yesterday researching this topic and have come up empty. Changing passwords from commands in terminal is not the problem. I am given just one account to choose from to log on and it's not accepting the password because of the changes I made in the advanced options menu.
    Is there any hope of getting this thing going again? Or have I just screwed myself over?
    Thanks for your help!
    Leah

    You can reset the password.

    Do you need to recover data from it before you sell it?  If not you can just wipe the disk and prepare it for sale.

  • Enable lync for user

    hello
    i want to know how can i enable lync for one user in active directory without creating mailbox .
    i  am using lync 2013
    thanks

    A mailbox isn't required for creating a Lync user. You can enable the user for Lync using the Lync Control Panel or running Enable-CsUser in Powershell (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg520961.aspx and/or http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398711.aspx)
    The sign-in name will be in an e-mail address format ([email protected]), but a mailbox isn't actually required. You can specify the sign-in address when enabling the user.

  • I can not create a new user account on eprint

    i can not create a new user account on eprint. I have been trying for over an hour and it repeats telling me that my email addresses are not entered correctly, however they match. ? 

    I have tried to create an account via ePrintCenter and it seems that the published application has several flaws in interpreting the provided input.
    1) In the Filed for last Name I enter my last name, which consist of only Alph Characters. The form however thinks that there is some sort of special character and rejects my Input.
    2) E-Mail address. is not identical; OK, so I do a quick OCR on the E-Mail and guess what they are identical. Again the form Fails to recognize this.
    3) Enter a password (2 Fields) and a third is displayed which is marked as "*required" but is not labeled as to what the required info could possibly be. Or is it a 3 password confirmation box, who knows.
    All I know is that a simple registration is a major pain with this HP site.
    Any Help as to how to alleviate this would of course be greatly appreciated.

  • DBCA can not use ASM for database storage due to following reason: Could no

    Really the problem initially was because of this:
    [INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [node1, node2]. CVU may reports "PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "user"" for same error
    and I had to install node1 first and after node2 manually and perhaps for this the product was not well linked.
    I resolved the problem establishing the keys with the wizard and after copying the following files from node1 to node2
    /home/grid/.ssh -------> /home/grid/.ssh
    authorized_keys
    known_hosts
    This is the procedure if you run the wizard at the node1.
    The problem is that the wizard creates the keys incompletely...
    Thanks

    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

    More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

  • After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy

    I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
    When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
    "After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
    I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
    I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
    I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.

  • Can not find driver for Thinkpad T500

    I can not find driver for Thinkpad T500? Could you please help me?
    Moderator edit: Matched Subject to content.

    Thanks to the folks at Kepware. I was able to get this working for CompactLogix L32E.
    Step 1: In NI OPC Server Create a new Channel. Channel Name can be whatever you want.
    Step 2: Device driver will be ControlLogix Ethernet.  You can also enable diagnostics if you want.
    Step 3: Network adapter. I used default setting.
    Step 4: Write only latest values.  Duty at 10. ( These are default settings and are recommended.)
    Step 5: Finish new Channel setup
    Step 6: Click on Icon to create new device
    Step 7: Device Name can be whatever you chose.
    Step 8: Select Device Model in this case CompactLogix 5300
    Step 9: Device ID For me was IP Address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,1,0    (Note the 1 directs path to backplane. The 0 to the slot where processor is)
    Step 9: Device timing.  Leave at defaults.
    Step 10: Auto demotion leave unchecked.
    Step 11: Leave at defaults Do not generate on startup Delete on create and allow subgroups
    Step 12: Port and watchdogs at default settings
    Step 13: Project options leave at default. (In my case I changed to short as that is what most of my tags were)
    Step 14: Create tagname from device.
    Step 14: Finish Device setup.
    You now have two options. 
    Option 1: Start creating tags as you need them. (This is what I did)
    Option 2: Right Click newly created device and select properities.  Then select database creation and click auto create.
    Go To Lookout  and create new driver. 
    Select OPC Client
    Server name will be from dropdown menu. National Instruments:NIOPCServers
    Click okay
    You should be done and smiling.

    After adjusting the Maximum SGA size, I am prompted to restart the instance (answer Yes). I enter the preferred credentials and click OK to restart. I receive the following message:

    Check to enure that the Configuration Database properties monitoring entries are correct (Oracle Home Path, Port Number etc). This is where you specify the Monitor user dbsnmp etc
