Cannot see iPodService.exe from limited user account.

I have a 4th-generation iPod which I am attempting to connect to a computer running Windows XP Pro. I do most of my work under a limited-permission account, running as administrator only to install new software, such as the iTunesSetup.exe installer. However, I am finding that when I connect the iPod to the computer while running as a limited account, the iPod cannot sync, presumably because it can't see the iPodService.exe. The computer does see and can access the iPod as a mass storage USB device correctly, however.
I've done each of the first four R's repeatedly; I'm hoping that I don't have to restore the iPod to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

ThinkVantage Access Connections and Limited User Account (LUA) on XP SP3

Is it really so that one has to be logged on with at least Power User privileges to get the Access Connections utility working properly with 3G/HSDPA? When logging on as a Limited User, the computer can find all the cell phone operators nearby but does not let to do a connect. But when logged on as a Power User, all problems go away.
I would not like to bump up my user privileges from Limited User to Power User, since all else seems to work fine with a Limited User Account. Any ideas about what is going wrong -- or did I just hit into a wall here?
The environment in question is Thinkpad X200 and XP SP3. Access Connections and the HSDPA driver are the latest ones I could find from the Lenovo driver download site (Access Connections v. 5.21, Ericsson HSDPA driver v. 1.0.1046.221).
Would there be any other way to use 3G connections than to use the Access Connections utility (without changing to another o/s)?

Hi Sami,
I just got stuck on the same problem as you and following is what I found in details fro ThinkVantage Access Connections version 5.30. Hope this helps.

<Limited User>
A Limited user can create and apply only modem profiles. However, if
Administrator sets "Allow Windows users without administrator
privileges to create and apply location profiles" option in the
Global settings then the user can create and apply any kinds of
profiles in the system.
Also, a limited user cannot:
1. Edit setting for the Automatic Ethernet and Wireless location
profiles switching.
2. Edit Global settings.
3. Edit profiles created by another user in the system.
4. Renew or release IP in the Diagnostics panel.
5. Export profiles.
The limitations on Power user also apply on Limited user.

Why won't Fire Fox 34.0.5 restart in limited user account ?

FF 34.0.5 crashed while in the limited user account and won't load when I try and restart it. FF will load and start when I use the admin account with no problem(s). I've uninstalled and re-installed FF 34.0.5 twice but the limited user account still will not restart/load. FF will start in admin account after the re-installs.
When I try and restart/load FF in the limited user account and use Windows task manager to see if FF is loaded, task manager does show FF is loading into memory however the usual FF user interface/display screen does not appear and while the system tries to load FF, FF consumes major portion of memory (up to %99 sporadically). After several minutes FF will display the "error sending screen" but after FF closes, final/exit error message displays that FF was unable to send error details to Mozilla Support.
I'd prefer to try and resolve this problem w/out having to re-install FF from scratch (deleting FF folders, memory registry entries etc. etc. ) because I don't want to lose the current FF configuration (addons, extentions, synch info etc. etc.) I've set up using the limited user account.
I've switched to the Chrome browser temporarily but prefer FF.

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

Looks like you cleaned up the email before posting, which is good.
Before experimenting further, if you want to eventually restore the last set of windows and tabs you had open before the crash, could you back up your session history files?
Since Firefox is closed, you can access your current Windows user Firefox profile folder by pasting the following into the search box on the Start menu (or the address bar of a Windows Explorer window) and pressing Enter:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
From that point, double-click into the most recently updated folder.
''(Note to other readers: if Firefox is currently running, do not exit out, but instead open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* ''"3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* ''(menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* ''type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
''In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing your current settings files.)''
(1) Scroll down and double-click into the '''sessionstore-backups''' folder. Copy all files here to a safe location such as your Documents folder.
(2) Go back up to the main level and scroll down to the sessionstore file(s). sessionstore.js usually contains your session data as of the last time Firefox exited normally. In this case, it might not be there. Go ahead and copy any other files whose names start with sessionstore and which have dates in a relevant range to a safe location such as your Documents folder.
By default, Windows hides the .js extension. To work with files most accurately, you may want to turn off that feature. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions
The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore files are:
* sessionstore.js: the windows and tabs from your previous Firefox session (created when Firefox closes)
* recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session
* recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
* previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session, after Firefox starts; sessionstore.bak for pre-33 versions of Firefox
* upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update; sessionstore.bak-''datetime'' for pre-33 versions of Firefox
Okay, next steps in the next post.

How do I prevent iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe from start-up?

Hi,
iChat version through from version 2 to version 6 allowed you to choose whether to Save Transcripts of iChats.
It was a setting in the App Menu > Preferences > Messages pane.
In Messages beta this now longer happens and "Saving" is obligatory.
By default the Chats are stored in a folder called iChats and this is normally in the Documents folder. (they are still called iChats in Messages).
In addition Messages Beta also stores some iMessage info in the Home Folder/Library/Messages
You can access this via the Finder > Go Menu and holding the ALT ley to see the Library listing (It is normally invisible)
The info is held in the chat-db database.
At present you cannot turn Off saving the transcripts.

Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
Post back and inform us of your success.

Officejet pro 8500 a909g, limited user accounts can't use printing preferences

The above discription explains most of it. I had install this 8500 printer, then shortly after, uninstalled the other two older printers I was previously using. That is when the problem started. I can not access printing preferences from a document or from control panel\printer and faxes. But I am able to access from the administrater account. I did an online chat with HP help and what we did made sence, but did not work. We went into the security tab in properties and added the limited user account for all permissions and reboted the computer. Did not work!!!! I have a dell laptop, windows xp pro, and the printer software is now uninstalled. the window that pops up when I click on properties is: Function address 0x50085a97 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0x0000005) Some or all property pages may no be displayed. I don not have this problem as an administrater only as a limited user.

I had this similar problem. Installed this printer a few months back and for some time it was printing fine. Recently, I changed the default preferences to black/white, draft, low ink etc etc. Now if I click on the Properties I get this same window:
*** (x50085a97 caused protection fault (exception code 9xc0000005 some or all property pages could not be displayed) ***.
Running XP on an Dell Intel Pentium and it happens irrespective of the application I am using - usually firefox or staroffice. 9 times out of 10 I can't change the properties, but occasionally it allows me too then reverts back. So now I am stuck with everything printing black/white as that's the default I set! Any suggestions welcome.

Database Access in limited user account

I have made an application in which I am communicating with database.
Let me explain about my application first.
1. Application starts and it asks for user name and password
2. After successful login data reading or writing from /to database.
All this information whether its data or user name or password, I am storing in same database but in different tables
Now If I login from limited user then I am able to login by entering user name and password but later I am not able to read/ write to database, but If I login from admin accout then everything runs smoothly.
This happened recently and I am sure this is permision issue..
Kudos are always welcome if you got solution to some extent.
I need my difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy my success.

9.3.0 File association "icon" in XP Pro limited user account problem?

XP Pro SP3 all MS Updates.
Problem occurred after updating Adobe PDF reader to 9.3.0 via the program update feature
File association ok but weird thing is on Limited user account. The icons for a PDF file are not Adobe ones it is a generic one. If I try to open the file it opens with the correct program.
Problem evident on desktop icons and in looking in windows explorer.
If I attach a file in my email program (Outlook Express) it shows the correct icon.
These files were created from various pdf creators. Ofice 2007 Mac SO X 10.4.11 Quartz, Adobe InDesign CS4 (6.0) and InDesigdn CS4 (5.0) so it doesn't seem matter what program created the files.
I am at a loss to figure out how to get the correct icon in the Limited User Account. The correct icons show up in the Admin account. Note the files do open with the adobe reader.
Thanks
Celeste

Gosh anyone out there have any idea how to resolve this? The generic MS icon for the files in the limited user account is annoying as all get out. Anyone out there from Adobe or is this not a monitored forum. Not sure. Thanks
Note: Correct program is accessed just the icons for the PDF files in the limited user account are the generic MS ones.

Can I downlaid Firefox on my Administrator account but have it not be accessible to the Limited User Account?

I have Windows XP and want to know if I can download and use Firefox on the Administrator account only and it not be accessible to the limited user account. The reason is is we don't want our kids having access to to more than one tab at a time. any suggestions?

Yes you can,
# locate firefox.exe file in a directory similar to C:/program files/mozilla firefox/firefox.exe
# right click it, select '''properties'''
# add access to your account and remove any entries for other accounts you don't need.
Please let us know whether that works for you.

Why don't java applets run when using Firefox 4.0 in a windows limited user account?

Java applications will not run in Firefox 4.0 when the windows user/process only has limited user access rights. The systems, I see this behaviour on have Windows XP Pro SP3, Firefox 4.0 and JRE 1.6.0_24 installed. The java application will run when when full administrative rights are present. This issue did not occur with the 3.6 firefox version that was previously installed.

The problem also exists with the newer Firefox 4.0.1 and Java 1.6.0_25 versions.
Enabling administrative rights resolves the issue ... though this defeats the purpose of using a limited user.
The underlying bug appears to be in the Firefox java plugin detection code. The issue is related to the detection code requiring write access to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org windows registry key. The limited user only has read access for this registry key. The behaviour was identified using the Sysinternals ProcessMonitor utility ... showed firefox calling an interface to create the registry key and getting an access denied response in the limited user case.
A more targeted workaround for the issue is to grant the limited user write access on the HKLM\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org windows registry key. This avoids the need to grant administrative rights to the user and enables the java plugin to be detected. That is, it works on the 2 XP systems where the java plugin wasn't being detected in limited user accounts.

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?

I installed Firefox on laptop under Admin acct--now I can't access it from std user account

I installed Firefox on a laptop under Admin acct--now I can't access it from std user account. If I installed Firefox onto the laptop under the Admin account, why didn't it put a desktop icon on the std user account also? I don't recall ever having this problem on an any other computer I've had. I have already tried looking under the program files folders for a Mozilla folder while logged into the std user account-- there is no Mozilla folder to be found. Also, when I try to install Firefox on the Std user account, the parental controls keeps me from doing it. I have went in and added the Firefox install web link as an allowable website under the parental controls, but it does not help. Please help me figure out how to get Firefox installed on my std user account.

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.

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

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!
