Cannot open 2 sessions on same computer

Hello,
It's me again (I already posted some questions about Mavericks).
Now I discovered that I cannot open 2 sessions on my MacBook Pro. Mavericks does not recognize the password of a second user at login.
So I will have to buy another computer for my wife. Very clever from Apple !
Eric

Mavericks recognizes multiple user accounts on the same computer just as did Lion and Mountain Lion.  You can switch between user logins without either user logging out.  But, the users have to be setup on the computer.  My wife and I share a MacBook Pro and it works this way just fine (in fact we just had a reason to use the computer this way last night).  Even tasks that don't need the speaker or mic continue processing in the background for the non-active user.

  • Cannot open ConsoleKit session

    Hi,
    recently I asked already on installing on RAID, now I finally managed to install (without preset Raid but LVM), and I thought the trouble is more or less over, but I thought wrong. I face a bunch of major problems after I installed base,xserver and kdebase; maybe they are related, but I'm not sure. (If not, I can open separate topics)
    When I log into KDE I get
    Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
    What does it mean? Am I missing a package?
    By installing the vaio power daemon I avoid a power management error, but I still have no battery reading, can't suspend-to-RAM or -HD. What can I check for?
    And last but not least: Automounting doesn't work at all. fdisk shows my disk and I can manually mount it, but I prefer the automount way. This seems to be a problem from the begining. While I boot, external devices get displayed with
    [sdc] No Caching mode page present
    [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
    I guess this could be connected to the automount, maybe even the systembus. My laptop at home (completely different brand) has more or less the same setup with encryption and external key file, and it finds the flash drive without a problem. udisk is installed, and I can't recall that I ever had to do more to setup a system.
    In Ubuntu live CD all this seems to work without a problem (even RAID worked), and even if I get alot of advantages, I would still like to go with arch for variouse reasons. Alone the AUR is worth it!
    Btw, the particular laptop is a Sony Vaio Z2. You find a bunch of 'How to install [insert Linux distro] on Z2' on the internet, but even the Arch-HowTo-Version doesn't state any of my problems.
    I hope someone can help me.
    Thanks!
    /André

    Hi,
    stupid me. Of course dbus wasn't running. This simple thing fixed nearly everything. Even if Suspend now works and waking up not, but this is a minor problem where I should find a solution somewhere else (otherwise I can repost).
    But it still doesn't recognise USB devices at boot, even that I set the usb and usbinputs hook. The error
    [sdc] No Caching mode page present
    [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
    still appears!

  • I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. Help please

    I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. I have Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11. All it does is open up a blank page with a white x in a black square. How can I fix this?

    Hi Pat..When I tried to run Fix It the computer pops up a screen that says this trouble shooter does not apply to this computer .The article refers to Internet Explorer 10 and Im running Internet Explorer 11. I did try to see it it would fix my problem but the registry entry does not exist on my computer (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth) I can get as far as HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer but I dont have the option to choose Main. I only have the option to choose New Window which does not open up when clicked. Internet Explorer also has no value. Is there anything else I should try?

  • Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session... Error wheneven I log-in

    I get the following message whenever I try to log-in: Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
    When I looked it up, a person answered to manually run systemd-machine-id-setup, but I don't know how to do that.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm not familiar with systemd-machine-id-setup, but I imagine it would just be for systemd.  Are you using systemd? (If you don't know then you are almost certainly not).
    Is dbus in your DAEMONS array?

  • Cannot open iWork files on local computer

    I am using OX X yosemite v 10.10.1
    I updated my iCloud when I installed/updated to yosemite.
    When I am using: my iMac at home and work, as well as my Mac air, I am not able to open files located in the iCloud drive using Finder.  Here is the message I get:
    When I interact within iCloud, I am able to open and edit the files.
    Also, I I do not save the file to iCloud (use drop box instead), then there is no problem opening it up from that location on my iMacs and MacAir
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
    -Wes

    Most of them.  I think if I start the file on the iMac, and save it to iCloud, then I can open it up using the same local computer.  But the ones created or last edited on my Mac Air, for example, I cannot open.
    Are all Macs using the same versions of the iWork applications? Have you updated them to the latest versions?
    Are any icons shown besides the files, that cannot been opened? Clouds, loading bars?

  • InCopy CS4 and InDesign CS4 cannot open file at the same time!

    I have 2 editors that make changes in my indd file. The one editor is able to open the file concurrently with myself (i'm in indesign) just fine. But when the other editor wants to open the file....I cannot open the indd file and vice versa. We are PC based.
    shane

    Yes, we are all working on the same server.
    And Yes on the Editor A / scenario 1  (Designer opens file and Editor A opens file concurrently). works fine.
    Editor A closes out of Incopy and so does Designer. Editor B opens the file and Designer tries to open the indd file and now the designer gets the warning: Cannot open document. You may not have permission or the document may be open already. This is the same error if the Designer opens the file first and Editor B tries to open it while the designer has it open.
    Editor A and B are able to have the file open at the same time no problem.
    Also this happens to all indd files that Editor B tries to open. So it is not linked to a problem with the file.
    one other note: on the server just above the indd file...when Editor B has the indd open in InCopy... a 'temporary' Indesign Lock File appears.

  • Suddenly cannot open mail app on my computer

    Anyone have any suggestions?? I've run iTunes for years now, this last update "killed" the ablity for it to run automatically on my Win7 machine.  I've unloaded EVERTYTHING apple on my computer 3x times now, reloaded, as admin - even paid for cleaners to make sure.  Run all the Microsoft patches, updates, everthing I could find...NOTHING seems to be working.

  • Cannot open itunes store on my computer (windows 8) after last update

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • I cannot open file explorer on my computer.

    I've been having this problem for the past day or so. I can't open the file explorer from the icon pinned to my toolbar. I also cannot open it by windows button + E, or by clicking on any other folder on my desktop. Whenever I try any of these three,
    my entire screen goes blank to my set background color, then everything comes back up again. I tried a system restore to before my last windows update, which was yesterday, and I'm still having this problem. My Norton Security Suite will not open either, so
    I can't run a virus scan. I've also tried opening the command prompt and run it as an administrator, but it won't let me. I want to try scf/scannow prompt, but this won't let me. 

    my entire screen goes blank to my set background color, then everything comes back up again.
    Which suggests that explorer.exe is crashing and restarting.  There may be clues about the crash in Reliability Monitor or Event Viewer.
    You might also be able to work around your symptom by opening the File Explorer window elevated.  A way to try doing that is to start an Administrator Command Prompt (i.e., an elevated cmd.exe window) and then in its command line enter:
    explorer.exe  c:\
    (or whatever you want to open from there.)
    Oh.  Yuck.   Apparently that doesn't work any more.  I'm seeing  /factory,{guid} -Embedding instead of the Command line I was expecting.  YMMV.
    I think the experiment may still be worth trying, e.g. at least your symptom description would no longer include  "my entire screen goes blank..."   <eg>

  • [Solved] [KDE] Cannot open ConsoleKit session error message on startup

    Hi all,
    I've just installed updates on my system, and I now get a popup message along the lines of "Cannot create Consolekit session. Process /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper received signal 5"
    The corresponding message in ~/.xsession-errors is:
    "Cannot create unix session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper received signal 5"
    Any idea what might be going on? I have checked, dbus seems to be running. Other than that, the desktop seems to work normally.

  • I cannot open a session file sent from another computer?

    Hey all!  I just purchased AA 3.0 for home.  Thing is, when I send myself a session file from work (through email), when I open the file at home, there is nothing.  It shows the track, but there is no signal (on edit view).  It is flat as if nothing were recorded.  Any ideas?  I'm extremely new to AA 3.0 and appreciate any help whatsoever.  BTW, are there any tutorials out there that could help me get started?  I use AA primarily for voiceover recordings.  I really just need to learn (correctly) how to record, edit, enhance, and covert to mp3 my recordings.  Thanks so very much!  -matt c.

    The session files only contain information on editing and no actual audio data.  The tracks you've recorded are in files (probably .wav) somewhere in the project folder or wherever you told AA to save them when you hit the record button...  So if you ever need to copy a session make sure to gather up all the files ascociated with it.
    This little utility program might help when you need to gather those files... http://www.mediasweeper.com.au/sesbackup.htm
    As for tuturials... Check out the audiomasters forum at www.audiomastersforum.net and do a quick search.  Your sure to find everything you need.

  • Firefox will not open from my desktop (freezes), but will open from wifes desktop, same computer.

    Within the last 3 days, I have opened my Firefox browser only to have it freeze. There are two tabs opened. One eventually showas a yellow triangle with and exclamation mark and states "Restore Session". The second tab has "Getting Started with Firefox". I have opened my wifes desktop, clicked on Firefox and it opens properly and I am able to use it. I go back to my desktop, open Firefox... FREEZES!! I have spoken with a local computer repair busuiness and have tried several suggestions from them including uninstalling and reinstalling. Even after the same thing happens from only my desktop, open Firefox...FREEZES!!. I hope you can provide a solution as there are several work related websites that only function correctly with Firefox.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
