Classic freezes for one user, not another

Hello,
For a couple of years, an older iMac in our office has been running Classic just fine with Quicktime version 5.0.5, even though we always got the warning that we should use 6.03. We turned the warning off, and Word & Excel both run fine in the Classic environment.
Recently I set up a new user on this same computer, and she is gettng the usual warning when Classic starts up about using 6.0.3. She ignores it and continues on, but the problem is all OS 9 apps lock up for her. They open, but then you can't do anything in them, and we have to force quit Classic.
This makes absolutely no sense to me. I can log in as the original user and that user can still use the Classic apps just fine without freezing. Change over to the new user, and everything locks up! It's the same computer, same apps, same system folder. What could the problem possibly be?
Seems QT 6.0 is no longer available, so apparently we are stuck with the 5.0.5 that we have. Any ideas how to fix this?
tia

Thanks for the offer, but I have that. Unfortunately it's an updater so it only works if you already have 6.x.
Since 6.0 is not available to download, does anyone know if it's perhaps part of an OS update that maybe I could get my hands on it that way?

Photo Booth crashes for one user, not another.

Just upgraded to Lion, 10.7.1. On a 2007 iMac, Photo Booth works fine with one user. But switch to another account and it crashes every time after asking to create a new photo library. Any suggestions?

From What I've found.. it seems 3ivx or Perian could cause this problem. A friend had this issue and deleted 3ivx and it fixed his crashes. Alternatively, some folks are reporting that turning off 32-bit mode (Get Info) for Photobooth has also fixed, although this was already turned off in my friend's case. Or if you have iGlasses installed.

Flash running for one user not another

I recently upgraded to Windows Explorer 7. I am running
Windows XP and I have the computer set up for two users, me and my
wife. After installing Explorer 7 my wife's account can no longer
run flash content even though I can from my account. I have
downloaded the flash uninstaller, uninstalled and re-installed
Flash 9.0.47.0. I've checked the version on the machine and it
matches the version shown on the Adobe site. Everything runs fine
when logged on from my account but when my wife hits a web page
with flash content she gets a message similar to "you need to
update your version of flash player on your computer". Can anyone
help with this?

Found it on another web page with a link back to the Adobe
site. Posting here in case it will help others:

Web Services Returns Runbook Not Found For One User, Not for another

i am using Web Service to start runbooks. most users are successful. but one user gets an error "runbook not found". the IIS logs show identical requests to the web service, except for the different username. the user
is an administrator on the machine and is a member of the OrchestratorUsersGroup. is there some other group that the user should be a member of to run web services?

Maybe the user has deniad Access to the Runbook, check in Runbook Designer.

Outgoing server works for one user not for other

Hi,
I just made a second user in Leopard. When logged in as the original user, the outgoing mail server works fine in Mail. When logged in as the new user, the outgoing mail server shows as 'offline' in Mail. In both cases the outgoing server is the same one.
As the new user i can only receive mail and not send any. I am pretty sure the account settings on both mail accounts r identical(Authentication, SSL etc.) (except for user specific identification of course)
Any advice/idea on what is wrong and what i can do to make the outgoing server work for both users?
Thx,
Brick

Yes I am certain the authentication is correct. When trying to send a message out Mail gives a message saying my "SMTP server does not support authentication".
When i open Mail preferences. The outgoing server is indicated as Offline.

Drill Through to HFM Works for One Location, Not Another - Same Adapter

Good morning all -
I have two locations that both use the same adapter to load to the same HFM application. One location produces the drill through files, one does not.
I've seen several posts about needing separate applications for multiple adapters, but surely this doesn't apply if the adapter is the same? Am I missing a location specific setting somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
Sarah

This was a stupid mistake on my part. I looked through the output and never saw the A, B, C files get produced, so I assumed it never worked. I failed to notice that we had also always had .err files, which prevents drill through files from being created. I answered my own question on the phone with Oracle support. :)
Thanks for your response.

CS2 Works for one user, not for another

A friend has started getting the dreded "An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
I've found this problem listed a number of times in the forums, but none of them seem to have a solution.
He is on a Window 7Pro machine running 64-bit.
Reinstalling does not fix the problem and customer support will no longer help with a CS2 application.
He has compared the C:\Users\Username\AppData folders between the primary user and the others, but not clear which folder he should delete. Most reference a specific applicaiton (like InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, etc) and this problem happens for every CS2 app.
He's considering backing up the whole disk, then delete the user's profile, and then re-create it, and then put back the documents, email, contacts, bookmarks, etc. That's a fair amount of trouble, but it should work.
Can anyone suggest an easier way?

Sorry, but even that is not guaranteed to work. CS2 is unsupported under Windows 7 and using it on a 64 bit machine adds a whole new level of complexity. It's time for your friend to upgrade. Troubleshooting this installation will be nothing but an excercise in futility.
It's also worth noting that CS2 is the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing. You can save a few bucks along with free shipping on Amazon: http://amzn.to/h0SwTa
Your (and your friend's) call of course. But if really wants to stick with CS2 he should roll back to XP SP2. Anything later than that is a crapshoot.

Windows XP3 Firefox works for one use, not another.

Using windows XP SP3 and latest Firefox. On normal user Fire fox suddenly will not load. Click on Icon and it seems to load but does not appear on desktop. Looking in Windows Task Manager it looks like ti is running. Never appears open on desktop
On user "Admin", it boots and works normally. BOTH Admin and other user are admin security levels.
I have downloaded and installed the latest update but no change.
Thunderbird works normally on all users. There are only two user names on this machine. My problem is with another machine. I have compared some settings from this one to the faulty on and found no noticable differences.

Occasionally the Firefox window will get off screen. Here are three different
approaches to getting that window into view. One of them should work! 
'''''Firefox Window "off screen" — Arrow Key Method''''' 
If you know that Firefox is off to a particular side, you can use the arrow keys
to move it back on screen. You only need to move it far enough to be able to
click the title bar and then you can drag it the rest of the way. 
Make the Firefox tile active on the task bar and press this key combination
to start moving the window: 
Alt+Spacebar > m 
(To clarify, that's Alt+Spacebar to open the window control menu, then the
letter m to start moving the window.) 
Press the arrow key for the direction you want to move the window, e.g., press
the left arrow key to move the window left. Press the Enter key to complete the move. 
'''''Firefox Window "off screen" — Maximize + New Window Script Method''''' 
If Firefox is nowhere to be found but you know it's out there, try this method.
Make the Firefox tile active on the task bar and press this key combination to
maximize the window: 
Alt+Spacebar > x 
(To clarify, that's Alt+Spacebar to open the window control menu, then the letter
x to maximize the window.) 
If that works, try this: 
(1) Copy the following line of code to the clipboard (it's all one line...): 
newwin=window.open(window.location.href, "_blank", 
"width=640,height=480,menubar,toolbar,personalbar"); 
newwin.moveTo(0,0); 
(2) In the maximized window, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the web console. 
(3) Press Ctrl+v to paste the line of code next to the caret (») then press Enter to run it.
A new copy of that page should open in a window positioned at the top left of the screen. 
(4) Switch back to the maximized window and close it first, before doing anything
in the new window. 
'''''Firefox Window "off screen" — Remove Settings File''''' 
If you can't move or maximize Firefox, you can rename or delete the settings
file that stores the last window position. 
(1) Open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA Firefox profile folder).
From the Start menu (Run box or search box), paste this into the search box and press Enter:
 %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles 
This should open a window showing one or more Firefox profile folders. If you have multiple
folders, look for the most recent. Click into your profile folder. 
(2) If Firefox is still running, right-click it on the Task Bar and Close all Windows. 
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your profile folder, then rename
'''''localstore.rdf''''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old.
Alternately, you can delete the file. 
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.

Color HP LJ CP3525N printing slow on network for one but not another

This one hasn't been touched upon that I have notced. I currently have a Color LaserJet CP3525N setup on Server 2003 R2 with PCl6 drivers being used. This just started occuring for people on the same subnet as this printer. The print jobs go very slow and print a single page about ever 3 minutes. If I print to the printer with the same drives setup from the same server it prints with no delay. My system is a Windows 7 64 bit and the other systems are also Windows 7 64 bit as well. Before this week it was printing for many months with no problem. This printer is used quite often and I am now being stopped from my daily work and having to have the files emailed to me to print. I have searched other forums and threads and notbody else seems to have this issue. I have stopped and started the printer spool on the Server and that didn't make any difference. The server it is on is the main one we use to share out all of our network printers. Any thoughts or ideas? I have also replaced the 4 toners to see if that resolved anything as suggested by others and still not dice at this point.
Thanks in advance,
Marcus

Did a fresh install and still having the same problem. Giving up now. Mod can now close this thread

Faxes can be sent by one user, not another

I haven't used the internal modem in my PowerBook for faxing until now, so I don't know if this problem is new in Leopard...
I have a dedicated phone line connected to the modem. I can use it to dial up a client's modem with no problem. I can receive faxes (saved to the Shared Faxes folder). I can send faxes from two of the accounts (one that's an admin, one that's a normal user), but I can't fax from my own account (a normal user).
Any ideas?

It will depend on how you are trying to send it. How are you sending it?

Drill Back from HFM works for one year, not another

Hello,
We are on FDM and HFM 11.1.2.1 and I was doing some reasearch in the system today and for some reason in all periods that were loaded during 2011 in this version (Aug-Dec) I am able to drill back to the FDM source data. However, if I go into 2012 and try a drill back for Jan or Feb it does not work and I get the below error message. I'm guessing there must be a setting I'm missing somewhere, but can't figure out why the year would make a difference here.
Error: No Locations were found matching the passed intersection values. Please verify:
1) that the target system (originating the drillback) is properly configured;
2) that the FDM POVs have not been retroactively modified or compromised.
Thank you,
Jason

Yes, that is what the problem was. After talking with Oracle support apparently when you upload new periods via the Excel template it does not update the tpovperiodadapter table, which is needed for the drill back from HFM to work. In order to fix this I had the DBA go in and manually update the 4 fields (see below) for the 2 periods we had already loaded for 2012 and all is working now. I also went back and deleted all of the other future periods and added them manually via the FDM web interface.
The table has the following collumns:
PeriodKey
IntSystemKey
PeriodTargetM
YearTarget
Period Key would be the period date
IntSystemKey would be the adapter system code that was used to load the data to HFM
PeriodTargetM would be the target Month in HFM
YearTarget would be the target year in HFM
Example:
PeriodKey - 1/31/2012 (format needs to be the same as what's currently in the database)
IntSystemKey - FM11X-G5-E
PeriodTargetM - Jan
YearTarget - 2012

ALV grid Refresh problem for one user

Have an ALV with editable columns. Validation and save works for all columns for one user but not for the other. The user with the issue is able to modify the values and save to the database fine.The problem is it doesn't display in the ALV once refreshed. Please suggest any ideas of how to look into this issue as it works for one and not other user.

Strange work for one user not for other.
Once you save the data, rebind the data to table. so that new data will display. ( that use set_initial_elements as true, so that old values not display ).

Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - not working for one user - working for another

Hi,
I recently have an issue with Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - NOT working for one user - working for another.
Windows 7 updates recently installed ???
By checking the device properties on the user that works - "Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad 13/10/2011 Version 15.3.29.0"
When the other user logs on, the touchpad works for a few seconds, then a displays a black square with a red diagonal line through it, then the touchpad won't respond. Trying to use the keypad to navigate to system diagnosics or anything to find further info is useless....

Hey eagle_no11,
Thank you for joining the HP Support Community!
I will do my best in assisting to hopefully get the TouchPad to work on the second user profile.
What I would like to start off with, is to restore the original Synaptics drivers onto the profile that is not working correctly. I have included the document Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7).
Once you have installed the original drivers, you will need to complete all updates from both HP, as well as Windows. For these updates, if you open the HP Support Assistant, and select Maintain, you should see an option for updating.
Please let me know how these steps do work out for you.
Have a great day!
I worked on behalf of HP

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
much smaller then than they are now.
The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.
