Contibute Basics - new user

Looking at purchasing Contribute CS3 so my clients can update
their own site, as this seems to be the requirement these days.
I currently design in Go Live CS2, and i cannot locate any
information to tell me if it is compatible with Contribute CS3. I
also have Dreamweaver MX, and again cannot locate any information
if its going to work teogether or if i have to upgrade to CS3. I am
hoping that its going to work with Go Live as the Co-author option
with Go Live is way to confusing at the moment and is melting my
brain, and from what i have read contribute looks simple with just
creating editable regions inside the page, and the client can just
go in via ftp and update - let me know if i am not understanding
this properly.
Also, on a scale of 1 - 10 have would you rate this product
in terms of "ease of use" for the client, and are their any
technical issues that the client might face when they are trying to
connect and upload changes.
Thanks

You have to have a menu (& a theme).
You don't create menus from scratch, but you can edit them quite a bit. Dropping your own background image on a simple theme might be what you want to do:
From:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164959
Drag a picture file from the Finder to a DVD menu or to the Background well in the Settings pane of the Customize drawer.
Click Customize to open the Customize drawer, click Media, and choose Photos from the pop-up menu. Then drag a photo from your iPhoto library to your DVD menu.
Choose File > Import > Image, and then select an image and click Import.

How do i create a new user in visual basic

hello all!
I'm customizing TS Operator Interface and I'm trying to add a new user with VB code.
is anyone has any idea how to do this?
Advanced thanks,Avi.

Hello Avi,
Looks like the TSengine doesn't handle the save and update operations when invoking 'NewUser' method, so you have to handle these by your own. The following code (which is the menu callback for creating a new user in an Operator interface) might give you an answer for your question:
Private Sub NewUser_Click()
Dim objNewUser As User
Dim tmpUser As User
Dim users As PropertyObject
Dim OkCancel As Boolean
Dim loginName As String
Dim usersFilePath As String
Const USERS_FILE_NAME As String = "\users.ini"
Const USER_LISTS As String = "UserLists.Users" 'section of file containing user lists
'Check if the current user has 'EditUsers' privileges
If Data.TestEngine.CurrentUserHasPrivilege(Priv_EditUsers) Then
OkCancel = Data.TestEngine.DisplayNewUserDialog("New User", True, objNewUser)
If OkCancel Then
'Get user login name
loginName = objNewUser.loginName
'Get users file path
usersFilePath = Data.TestEngine.ConfigDirectory
usersFilePath = usersFilePath + USERS_FILE_NAME
'Create new object for all users
Set users = Data.TestEngine.NewPropertyObject(PropValType_Container, False, "", 0)
'Read all users from users.ini
Call users.Read(usersFilePath, USER_LISTS, 0)
'Check if user name already exist
If Not Data.TestEngine.UserNameExists(loginName) Then
'Insert new user into user object
Call users.SetPropertyObject(loginName, PropOption_InsertIfMissing, objNewUser)
'Write user object back to users.ini
Call users.Write(usersFilePath, USER_LISTS, 0)
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
After executing the code above you'll have to restart the operator interface in order to see the newly created user in the 'TSEngine.DisplayLoginDialog' (seems to be a bug here).
Hope this solved your problem and
feel free for further questions

New User cannot access OWA after migrate from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

Dear all,
I recently migrate the Exchange server from Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2003 to Exchange 2013 on Windows 2012 R2. I can open the mailbox moved from Exchange 2007 without any problem. However when I created a new user in Exchange 2013, the user cannot
login the OWA, the browser will throw out following screen. Can anyone help me in this case. Thanks a lot!

Hi Winnie,
Thank for your reply. Below is the result, please note there has four exchange servers, HKAD and HKEX are the existing Exchange 2007 server. HKCAS1 and HKCAS2 are the new Exchange Server 2013 - both of xchange server 2013 are using owa.ksi.com.hk

ITunes does not launch with new User Account (Vista)

One of my limited user accounts on Windows Vista because corrupt, so I created a new limited User Account and copied ALL of the files from the old to new.
Now, when I try to launch itunes on the new user account, it will not open at all. Itunes works on my administrative account, with no problem.
Can someone tell me the most pain-free way to resolve this issue. And, whatever solution, will I be at risk of losing my itunes libraries?
Thank you in advance.

Hiya. Delayed again. Browsers being cranky. (I blame the aftershocks.)
It's actually plausible that it was installed in there (by doing a run as administrator on the installer itunes64setup.exe, perhaps). Because that suggests a possible cause for these continual permissions-related problems.
A lot of what you're seeing is consistent with damaged ACLs (access control lists) on files, folders and registry keys. Although it's a lot rarer than it used to be, one of the ways you could get borked ACLs was if a program (like iTunes or QuickTime) was installed in one user account, and then the user account it had been installed in was deleted (or otherwise rendered unusable).
We don't know which particular permissions are stuffed up here. But there's a shotgun approach to fixing them which used to work okay, although it's a bit fiddlier to do on a 64-bit system than a 32-bit system.
I'd strongly recommend setting up a system restore point prior to doing this, so you can revert if things turn to custard.
The basic technique you follow is from the following blog entry *with one important modification.*
[Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions|http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-e rrors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx]
The modification is that when you're editing the file to replace YOURUSERNAME with the name of the account, edit the first line so that %ProgramFiles% instead says %ProgramFiles(x86)% and after the line that reads:
*subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
... add another line saying:
*subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles(x86)%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
(The first is to make sure the commands see the subinacl, because it installs in \Program Files (x86)\ on 64-bit systems, and the second alteration is to make sure that the permissions for the 32-bit program files are fixed too.
After doing that (it'll take a while to run), can itunes launch normally in the new account?

How do i increase my key ID +1 for every new user

sry for my bad english..
really hope someone can help me out

You need an 'Identity' column. In MySQL, you need to enable autoincrement and don't insert a value in the column while adding records; MySQL will auto increment the value.

HT3231 I ended up having to create a new user name because the migration assistant wouldn't let me put the data back onto my original user name. I now have to log into the new user name to see all my data, apps, photographs etc. What went wrong?

I have a Mac that was part of the recall involved with the faulty Seagate hard drives. The folks at the Apple Store near me changed the hard drive early December, 2012. I had my data, etc. all backed up on a portable hard drive. When the Mac was returned with the new hard drive, I used the Migration Assistant to bring everything back over. Trouble was, it wouldn't let me bring it over to my original user name. I was forced to create a new user name that became the place where everything was restored. I can't see any data on my old user name, just the basics. Everything is on the new user name but I wish I didn't have it (just want everything back the way it was originally). Any suggestions?

Probably the cleanest thing to do is to erase and freshly install the operating system on the new drive. Then, on the first boot up, don't create a new user, instead select the option in Setup Assistant to immediately bring things over from your backup, which you must connect via USB or firewire. Setup Assistant will then recretae your old user to look just like it used to.
Before doing this, make sure you realize you will lose everything on the new drive by erasing it, and make sure your backup is still viable.

All Adobe Creative Cloud apps fail to work, creating new user Home folder fixed it.

We have Adobe Creative Cloud device licenses. I had a user contact me yesterday with these problems.
Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 - error opening, "could not complete your request because the file is locked do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file photoshop"
Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 - error opening, "the operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [cant]"
Adobe InDesign CC 2014 - would crash when opening, no error given
These same apps worked when logged in as a different user.
None of these worked:
I tried removing all kinds of user Adobe preferences, Application Support files, etc.
Deleted ~/.adobe
I fixed permissions on the user's home folder.
Renamed user's Home/Library to LibraryBak.
Uninstalling and reinstalling CC.
What finally worked was creating a new user and copying the contents of the broken user home directory over, except for Home/* level hidden files. (eg: .adobe, bash_history) Basically I just copied over the visible folders and used the Terminal to copy of the hidden ~/Library folder.
Does anyone have any idea what the exact cause was? What file/folder could've been deleted to fix this instead of the longer route I took?

This wasn't answered and I see that it's still not resolved.

Adobe Camera Raw and Elements 9 new user

I hope someone out there can help me out because Adobe can't so far. I have a Mac OXX 10.5.8, new user to Elements 9. Bought PSE9 and there is no Adobe Camera Raw with the installation. Support told me I need to download ACR 6.3. Went to website for Adobe and tried to download update to no avail. Emailed back and forth to Adobe support, no help. So now, I am stalled, any ideas?

Thanks to Yammer P. for providing the download links. Assuming these are what you need, are you saying Adobe support didn't even provide these?
Adobe, are you listening to this? Do you really think contracting your support out to India is working if the support personnel can't even provide basic links to your own software update web pages?

Creating a new user account and curious log in behavior...

First off I'd just like to apologize if that is not the correct place to be posting this, but after looking around I don't see a perfect fit for this topic anywhere, so I figured here should be okay. Also I want to apologize if this turns out to be a rather lengthy post, I just want to ensure that I supply all info...
Okay, so about a month ago I recognized that my current user account is slowly but surely taking longer and longer to "boot up" after I put in my password and tell it to log in. What usually happens is that I click log in, the background image and taskbar almost immediately pop up but nothing else (finder icons, dock, and the multiple icons in the taskbar which include the airport signal, user name, bluetooth status, battery strength, volume, and my iChat and Adium status) the only things to immediately "activate" in the taskbar are the clock and spotlight.
As of late when I log in something especially strange is happening in that after the 5 or so minutes it takes the dock, rest of taskbar, and finder icons to appear my PB will play the default Apple sound of me emptying trash, rather there is anything actually in the trash or not. It dosen't delete the objects in the trash (if any, as I usually keep it empty), just simply plays the sound. I'm not sure if it playing this sound ties in any with the lagging log in times, I just wanted to mention it as the log in times have slowed down considerably since this sound started.
Bottom line given that there is no way that I know of fixing this problem, I am planning to simply create a new user account. Actually I have already created the new account (by the way, it logs in literally instantaneously, and does not make the strange trash being emptied sound) but was looking for info on how to get all of my files from one account to the other. Unfortunately for me everytime that I install a program and the dialog box pops up asking if you want to install it on all user accounts or just the current one I always click "just the current one" (please don't ask why, as there is seriously no reasoning to this at all...), so is there a way to transfer my current programs from one user account to the other without reinstalling??? It's actually not that many programs I'm talking about here (Shapeshifter, Xounds, XFactor, AIM, Adium, Cocktail, Toast, Popcorn, iPod Rip, and Office), I just figured that if I can simply transfer rather than reinstalling them, it would be a lot easier.
However my 2 primary concerns are my iTunes and iPhoto libraries (3330 songs and 4182 pcitures respectively), considering that I've spent literally hours making countless playlist in iTunes, and countless folders, slideshows, and books in iPhoto, if I was to lose all this it would truly be a mess.
I know I'm probably making a big deal out of this and it's an extremely easy and basic process, please just pardon this still pretty new Mac user and help me out:) Also if anybody else has experienced the log in slow down or strange trash being emptied sound I would be glad to hear your experiences.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Mervin,
Bottom line given that there is no way that I know of fixing this problem, I am planning to simply create a new user account.
You can do that (but I wouldn't) this KB article outlines how:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=155373
Basically you will copy the folders within your old home to replace the folders in the new home. Here is a list of specific folders if you decide to do that but a better solution would be to sort your existing user.
Here where your important data is stored ("~" stands for "Home"):
Your Data in Documents
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/iCal(copy the whole folder)
Also in ~ / Library/ Application Support (copy whatever else you need)
~ /Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist * This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
~ / Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
~ / Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
~ / Library/iMovie (copy the whole folder)
~/ Pictures/iPhoto Library
If you want cookies:
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
~/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
so is there a way to transfer my current programs from one user account to the other without reinstalling???
As for applications, they should all be in your Application folder(there is only one) and available to ALL users, unless you have put "limitations" or "parental controls" on the account.
Now to the best course of action:
To find the issue affecting your existing user account, follow these steps:
Log back into your normal user account:
1. Navigate to ~(yourhome/library/fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
      Restart and test your applications.
      If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
( Likely suspects are Time RO & Helvetica Fractions, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.)
2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
      Navigate to ~(yourhome/library/preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
      Restart and test your applications.
      If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
   Navigate to yourhome/library.
   Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
   Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
   Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
Click on "apply to all"
   If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same      procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are      having trouble with.
Note:
The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.
If the isssue persists navigate to ~/library/caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.
Good luck, let us know.

Cant create new user account

I have migrated my accounts from my old G5 to new Mac Pro and they all work just fine. However when I try to create a new user account for my youngest daughter whilst everything appears to be fine on creation when i try to switch between my admin acount and her account with the correct password (less than 8 characters) all I get is the starscape with no icons, no dock, no mouse! The only way out I can find is to completely reboot the mac from the power button on the front (power down and power up again).
I have tried deleting and recreating different accounts all with the same result. The original 3 accounts that migrated all work OK.

Well repairing permissions made no difference. But the problem seemed to lay with parental controls, when i made some changes to that in the new acc it worked but will only work with with basic desktop

Moving to a new user on my iMac

I've been having problems with Microsoft Word on my iMac (that is running Lion). All sorts of error messages pop up and the program is basically useless to me. In speaking with microsoft they did some troubleshooting and couldn't figure it out, but then suggested I try creating a new user on my iMac and seeing if I had any problems with word under the new user. That solved the problem. So i'd like to move my iTunes, iPhoto, files, etc to a new user on my iMac and then delete the old user account. I've found a lot of info online about transfering a user account to another mac, but i'm not wanting to transfer my user account. I just want to set a whole new user and start fresh, but bring over my iTunes library, iPhoto, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Jeff

I moved the Microsoft User Data folder to the desktop and deleted the two files you mentioned and then opened Word but it didn't fix it. I get all sorts of things that pop up in Word:
-A window that says Microsoft Visual Basic at the top and below it says "This Command will stop debugger"
-I get a box that says "Compile error: method or data member not found
-I get a big window that at the top says Normal.dotm-ThisDocument (code) and then has all this in the window:
Private Sub Document_Open()
'Thus_001'
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.Options.VirusProtection = False
    If NormalTemplate.VBProject.VBComponents.Item(1).CodeModule.Lines(2, 1) <> "'Thus_001'" Then
    NormalTemplate.VBProject.VBComponents.Item(1).CodeModule _
    .Deletelines 1, NormalTemplate.VBProject.VBComponents.Item(1) _
    .CodeModule.CountOfLines
    End If
    If NormalTemplate.VBProject.VBComponents.Item(1).CodeModule.CountOfLines = 0 Then
    NormalTemplate.VBProject.VBComponents.Item(1).CodeModule _
    .Insertlines 1, ActiveDocument.VBProject.VBComponents.Item(1) _
    .CodeModule.Lines(1, ActiveDocument.VBProject.VBComponents _
    .Item(1).CodeModule.CountOfLines)
    End If
    If NormalTemplate.Saved = False Then NormalTemplate.Save
    For k = 1 To Application.Documents.Count
    If Application.Documents.Item(k).VBProject.VBComponents.Item(1).CodeModule.Lines(2 , 1) <> "'Thus_001'" Then

    .CodeModule.Deletelines 1, Application.Documents.Item(k) _
    .VBProject.VBComponents.Item(1).CodeModule.CountOfLines

OS Lion - Difference image quality in EyeTV with new user account?

Hi Everyone,
My computer has been crashing ever since installing Lion, mainly on the Mail app it appears, so I created a new user account and have set that up to use.
I have an Elgato Eye TV Hybrid with EyeTv for watching TV. The image settings are the same on both user accounts, but the new user account is extremely grainy. Any ideas about why it would be different on multiple accounts?

pod meister,
quite as yr office person says. It would be wrong to remove all the apps. I would not be sure what ElGato can mean when they say the test user has no apps!. Elgato (?) will need to use some apps for it's normal operation, and the more general user functions will as well. You would msee in yr 'Parentalo controls, in sys prefs pane that there are 'helper apps' that you can allow or not to any controlled user. So there are helper apps.
You can 'turn off' lots of system extensions with a special boot up but won't Elgato need some of them? It is after all the operation of Elgato that you want to test.
The usual dodgy 'apps' are starup items like so called haxies which moderate certain basic system operations. You could start by disabling the.
You might care to consider that Elagto is shoveling the blame onto 'the rest of the world' saying it 'is something else',but I may be wrong.

Creating a new user account and transferring files from old account

I am now having more problems than I can handle with my Leopard installation...problems such as applications that refuse quit no matter what ~ even after attempting force quit them and/or attempting to "sudo kill -9 PID", and now that I am having problems with Adobe Lightroom not even being able to remain open on my user account for more than 10 seconds max before it crashes without provocation (yet runs fine on a troubleshooting account I created on the same machine), I would now like to create a new user account on my MacPro Leopard 10.5.6 and transfer my files from the previous (problematic) user account, but I've never done so in the past...
Can someone give me a basic rundown of how to go about doing this as a means of troubleshooting my current sickly user account (and if you could also please let me know which files I should avoid restoring to the newly created user account so that I don't screw that one up as well, I would appreciate it)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

While logged into the troubleshooting account (assuming that it's an admin account—if not create a new one and log into it), backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.
See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4703015 for more details on this process.

Creating a new user to synch ipod, ipad and iphone?

Hi,
Apologies if this has been covered before. I'm in the middle of moving from the UK to the US. My "real" computer is in transit and I won't have access to it for a few weeks. I'm traveling with an ipad, ipod touch and I've just picked up a us iphone. I'd like to synch everything up, esp the apps between the devices I've brought with me from the UK and the iphone I've just bought.
My partner has his powerbook with him running the latest version of osx. Could I set up a second user account on his machine and synch apps, update locations on the UK devices via itunes on his machine? I don't want to interfere with his existing itunes config, if that makes sense.
Thanks!
Pete

That would be feasible. But understand that iDevice syncing is basically one way - computer to iDevice. Since the new user account is essentially empty, when you sync you will lose most everything on your iDevices, except the iPhone which is already empty.
To avoid this you need to start with your iPhone (nothing to lose) so you can then configure iTunes NOT to automatically sync when a device is connected. Then you need a third-party utility that can be used to transfer the contents of your other iDevices into the iTunes session you are setting up in the new user account. There are a lot of utilities for this such as Pod2Mac, PhoneDisk, etc. Look for them at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. Use one or more of these utilities to copy the contents of your iDevices to the iTunes account. Once that's done then you won't lose that data when you sync.
One problem with the above is I don't know what you can do about your contacts, calendar, and email. You will need to arrange to get that data transferred as well. If you have a MobileMe account then all that data is on MobileMe so you can sync it to your iDevices via MobileMe.

Repalce old user ID with new user ID in Org Plan

Hi,
I have a requirement. In our company, we have different type of user IDs for permanent employees and contractors.
Whenever the contractors postion gets confirmed we will create a new user ID for that person.
Now this new user ID has to be updated in the SRM org plan.
As the user's old user ID is already assigned in the org plan and at the same time user have created lot of shopping carts, we want to replace his old user ID with the new one so that all the shopping carts will not get deleted.
Basically I want to know, how to unassign the user ID from business partner and assign a new user ID.
Is it possible to replace like that? Please advise.
Thanks,
SS

Hi,
I noticed a feature in txn: BP --> Relationship
In the relationship category, I could see two categories: Replaced by, Is replacing. Not sure what is the exact functionality of that.
Do any one knows about that feature? Could you please advise me on that field?
Also, Is it possible to change the validity period of BP or user assignment ?
Will the above two resolve my issue?
Since user has created many shopping carts and user needs access to those SC with his new users ID, I would like to confirm with you before taking any risk.
Please help.
Thanks,
SS
