Can't access Google or Yahoo from one user account

My son told me that since I upgraded to Yosemite last week he can't access Google. I tried and I also can't access Yahoo and discussions.apple.com (though apple.com works fine), but I can access Bing without an issue. The thing is that everything works fine from my own account and also from my wife's.
The issue is regardless of browser (tried with Chrome, Safari and Firefox), I restarted the computer several times, checked parental permissions, deleted chrome extensions, flushed the DNS via command center, checked Hosts file, emptied the cache from the browsers and restarted the computer again. Still no difference.
I tried typing Google IP directly and it worked.
Any ideas?

Wondering if you found an answer. I have yahoo calendar that my admin assistant uses from her computer to put in appointments etc. I have had Yahoo sync to iCal for quite a while, and it has been working pretty well. Now I am trying to get the Yahoo calendar to go to icloud. Yahoo is still syncing with my iCal on my macbook, but that is not translating to the icloud calendar. The only thing that goes from iCal mac to icloud is calendar (under ON MY MAC) - which really has nothing on it. All of the separate calendars from yahoo show up on the iCal side bar under Yahoo, but I can't figure out how to get them to show up (or transfer) to the icloud calendar.
Any help would be appreciated

Hello,
Can the SidHistory attribute be moved from one User account to a different User account in the same Forest/Domain manually with Active Directory Users and Computers or with something like Powershell? it would seem to me this is a safe operation.
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

Can I move music and movies from one icloud account to another icloud account?

Can I move music and movies from one icloud account to another of my icloud accounts?

No. Purchased music, movies and other iTunes media is permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase it and can't be transferred to another ID. (Your purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud under the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

Hey Fabrizio,
You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
Do you get the 'download' prompt?
Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab.
Please try the same using a different browser and check.
Hope to hear from you.

Transfer music from one user account to another on the SAME mac?

My family (wife, son, daughter, and me) share an imac but we all have our own user accounts. Our entire itunes music library is in one user account and is getting to the point of being unmanageable.
Can I move some of my itunes library (e.g., my son's music) to another user account on the same iMac? Some songs were imported from CD and others were purchased from my Apple ID number.
It's my understanding that an ipod can only be synced with one itunes library at a time, but I thought Apple also restricted the usage of music bought from itunes to a finite number of computers. If this is true, I think I would be able to transfer a group of songs from one user account to another so long as the user accounts were on the same computer.
I was told that I could just drag the songs into a shared folder and then log into his account and drop them in iTunes.
Some specific questions:
1) Can I move all music files (CD and purchased) to the shared folder for dropping into his account?
2)The purchased ones were purchased under MY apple ID which I do not want to give him access to. Should I create one for him or just have him use mine and wait for my password. I would like to put an allowance on his new ID number and keep it separate from mine. Would that make a difference in the future if I wanted to use one of his songs on my iPod or in an iMovie project?
I just reinstalled my Lepoard OS X and put all my data back. I did not deauthorize anything before I did this. Did I need to? Or is even a clean install on the SAME machine ok and seen as the same authorization?
Thanks in advance!!

You can give him copies of song files, either by using a shared folder, or by putting the copies on a USB flash drive from which he can copy them to his own iTunes library.
Any DRM-protected tracks that you have purchased from Apple can only be played if the user has authorization to the account(s) from which the tracks were purchased. Authorization requires physical access to the computer and knowledge of the password, and you can figure it from there!

2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user.
5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder

How do I transfer Pages from one user account to another

How do you transfer Pages from one user account to another on the same Mac?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you haven't modified anything, Pages is installed on /Applications. All users have access to this folder, identified as "Applications" on the Finder sidebar, so you don't have to move anything, because Pages will work on all your users.
If you have installed Pages on ~/Applications (being ~ your user folder), then you have to move Pages to /Applications. After doing this, you will be able to access to Pages on all users

How to keep Itunes playing music when switching from one user account to another?

On my old pc, that running XP, itunes would continue playing when I was switching from one user account to another.
Now I have a new PC running win8 and the music stops playing when I switch from one user account to another. I think Itunes is still running on the user that is not active, but the music is not coming out of the speekers.
Does anyone know how I can get the win8 pc to do as the old XP machine?

Hello over here,
The steps below detail how to place an input chooser that will allow for the adjustment of your keyboard layout while on the login screen.
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click Users & Groups to display the pane (or choose User & Groups from the View menu).
If the lock icon in the lower-left corner of the window is closed, click it, then enter the name and password of an administrator to unlock it.
Click Login Options.
Select the "Show Input menu in login window" checkbox.
From the Apple menu, choose Log Out.
At the login window, click the Input menu (shows the name of the currently selected input source next to a keyboard icon) in the upper-right corner of the screen, then select the desired input source or keyboard layout. If you don't see the input source you are looking for, move the pointer over Other Input Sources, then select the input source from the complete list that appears.

Multiple users under my name, can I transfer files/data onto just one user account if I have an external H.D. when I tried to delete info off one of the accounts it said I did not have permission? I assume I was in an account that was not admin.

I noticed I have set up 4 Admin user accounts under my own name with diff. variations as seen in the attchment. Some have a diff. password to log on to which I am able to do. This computer is used for my business and I need info that is scattered on the other 3 accounts to be in/on ONE admin account.
I don't know how i ended up with multiple accounts. Maybe due to having two 24" iMacs and multiple iPhones & iPad2 for me and family.
I use this computer for business and personal.
Due to multiple Admin user accounts I have important info scattered on the other accounts resulting in some accounts have some of the info to others having much more but not ALL. Some accounts have from a couple hundred songs, podcasts, etc. etc. to a few 1,000 on another Admin account.
I want to consolidate ALL of my info, files. songs, podcasts, pictures & email etc. into one Admin account and delete the other accounts to reduce confusion.
I was told by my local Apple authorized service shop that it is not easy but moving most of the info is possible. Their caveat was email would probably not be able to be moved other than forwarding each email I wanted out of each account and opening in the account I wanted to consolidate into.
As a side note, I get an error message at times saying that I do not permission/authority to delete / move files? What might be the issue when I encounter this type message?
Thanks for any help.

Moving iTunes libraries from one user account to another on same PC

My PC has 3 active User Accounts (wife, son, and me). My son uses itunes under my User Account and that's where his music library is stored (the iTunes account is his, but he accesses it from my User Account).
I want to remove the iTunes Library from my User Account and place it in his User Account so that he no longer has to use iTunes from my User Account. Remember, this is one machine with 3 separate User Accounts. I don't want to move these files to another computer, I'm just trying to get rid of them and put them in his account.
Can this be done and, if so, how? MANY THANKS. . .

Create a playlist in your iTunes library with his songs.
Select this playlist and select all the songs then drag them from the iTunes window to a Shared directory.
Then in iTunes, select all the songs in this playlist, select them again and *Shift Delete* to remove them from your library and your directory.
Open his login and add the songs from the Shared directory to his iTunes.

ISight not working from one user account on MacBook

Hi everyone,
It'd be great to get some help with fixing an iSight camera. I've followed the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
and have narrowed it down to a particular user account (it has admin permissions). Other user accounts can access the iSight fine. However, every application I try under that one user account can't access the iSight.
Unfortunatly it's my wife's account. She quite likes to skype her family in the earthquake prone area of New Zealand called Christchurch.
Any ideas of things I could try, permissions I could reset, etc would be great.
I've tried:
* resetting the PRAM
* resetting the SMC
* rebooting
* fixing disk permissions (from multiple accounts)
I've got a reasonably techy background, so even telling me the device node that the iSight is accessable on would be useful - that way I can manually check the permissions on that.
Thanks!
Tim

Hi Tim,
That was partly my fault (well actually it was entirely my fault)
I missed this bit:-
However, every application I try under that one user account can't access the iSight.
Now it is really Odd that this one user cannot access the camera at all in any App where as other users on the Mac can.
I would start with the FONT BOOK.
Check that all Fonts are active, particularly the System Fonts.
Certain Apple Apps will not work properly if Helvetica or Lucida Grande are turned Off or Missing.
Basically we are looking for something that she has changed (or has become corrupt) that is not directly linked to the camera but is needed (there is no direct way to turn On or Off the camera access). (Fonts are first choice)
Next check the Address Book.
Is the My Card (Head and Shoulders icon) actually listing her details.
Have a look at this
This Apple Article refers to a .plist that is a System wide one.
However as a .plist it may be the thing that is blocking access to one user.
I don't have it on my G4/1GHz Dual processor running 10.5.8 but neither do I have iMovie 7 (from iLife '08)
Some people have reported that removing this gets the camera back for iChat.
Make the Address Book Export of copy of itself (File Menu > Export > Archive)
After that I would try moving (NOT Deleting) the whole contents of her Home Folder/Library/Preferences.
Then Restart the computer then try specific apps.
If Skype then works you will know it is one of the .plists that you moved.
Then comes the monotonous bit of moving back some .plists at a time until you can narrow down the one that is at fault.
Have you tried a Safe Boot ? (it will need another restart after it has done that)

Copying iTunes Library from one user account to another on the same MacBook

I recently purchased a new Macbook running 10.4.8 and transferred my iTunes library from my G5 via firewire.
The problem is that I started using one user account and
when the library transferred over it went into another
user account. Is there a way that i can take the library
and put it under the user account that i had established
prior to the transfer or do i have to import each MP3
(via the HD) separately?

Does this article contain anything useful?

How can I move an album purchased from MY user account to another account?

I have three user accounts on my computer at home. I purchased an album through MY user account from the iTunes store for one of the other users. I figured that all I had to do was to burn those songs from my user account onto a cd then go onto the other user's account and import the songs. Problem is, it DID import the songs, but without song titles (i.e., "track 1, track 2..."). What to do?

Thanks for the prompt response. Let me share with you two other solutions that came to my attention:
1. Call iTunes Store Customer Support and ask them to allow you to download the album again, only, THIS time, download from the right user account.
OR,
2. From the RIGHT user account, do a search on the album. When you find it, the songs on the album will appear individually in the search as well. Double click on each song. It will open in iTunes (if it's the default for music files) together with the song name.

Transfer Reports from one user account to another

Hi,
We use oracle discoverer 4.1, due to HIPAA the dba had to create new userids for our current users and lock the old ones, how do I transfer the reports stored in database one user account to another ?
for e.g user abc123 has a report <abc.dis> stored in database he now has to use a new userid xyz123, he doesnt see <abc.dis>, how do I transfer this?
I know the work around.. to save all reports from database to a network and open in the new user account, but we don't want users to do that, is there any other way?
Thanks,
Latha

To avoid permission issues log into the account where the files are. Then transfer them to an external drive or a flash drive or jump drive. Then log into the account where you want them. Then copy them to the account.
