Copied Domain won't open in new user account

I created a new user account and then copied a domain file to the new account. I gave myself permission to use the file. I am unable to open the domain. I deleted the plist in my new account several times, following the advice in another post. Any ideas?

Since you're running 10.5 (Leopard), perhaps you're using Time Machine. iWeb's Domain file has a hidden extension of .sites2 — so you could search for that via Spotlight:

Hi, I hope someone can help.... When I open a new user account, which I want to set parental control on, the screen keeps freezing once the account is open. The wee rainbow circle appears and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.
Does this happen if you just try to create a new admin user???

Post upgrade to Mavericks, applications won't open on main user account but seem fine in another account.

MBP Mid 2012.
Upgraded to Mavericks from Mountain Lion. The user account I was using when performing the upgrade now won't open any applications. In another user account on same computer, everything works fine.
When I click on an application the desktop picture goes blank before returning and nothing happens with the application. I can open folders but nothing else.
I've tried every fix I can find, but no success yet. I've reset the Pram, repaired disc permissions, re-installed Mavericks over the top, deleted all .plist files, repaired disk with disk utility etc.
Any ideas and help would be appreciated.
Tod.

PowerPoint file won't open under one user account, but does under another account

Hello,
I have a 10.9.5 macbook pro here that will not open a Powerpoint file under one user account. It is up-to-date with Software updates and Office 2008 is up-to-date as well. When I try to open the PowerPoint file, I get the message, "PowerPoint closed unexpectedly" and I can choose to Reopen (which opens a blank presentation) or OK (which closes PowrPoint). I have tried double-clicking the file from the Desktop where is resides, File --> Open from within PowerPoint and also saved it to a flash drive and tried opening from there. It does open under the admin account on the same machine and it will also open on other machines. Other PowerPoint files are opening fine...it's just a problem with the one file. The user has Read & Write privilege to the file. I tried Repairing Disk Permissions, I have tried deleting microsoft plist files, and lastly, have re-installed Office 2008. At this point, I can only think to try deleting the user account and re-adding it, but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas before I go that route.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Aperture 3 won't open in two user accounts

My new girlfriend and I are both photographers, and share one iMac with Aperture3.
Both of use are Aperture3 power users and the bulk of our time on the iMac is using Aperture.
Recently I decided to make her her own account on my iMac but she couldn't open Aperture if it were open on my account.
I don't recall having this problem with Aperture 2...
is there a way to override this? Most of our fast user switching will be from me working with Aperture in my account to her using Aperture on her account.

The only good way to share an Aperture library between two accounts is to store the library file on a 2nd (non-boot) drive with "Ignore Ownership" turned on. Unless you have a Mac Pro with multiple internal drives, you'll need an external drive (preferably a Firewire drive but USB will also work). To turn on "Ignore Ownership", do a Get Info on the drive and check the box at the bottom of the Get Info window. It needs to be a non-boot drive because you cannot turn on Ignore Ownership on the boot drive.
Even if you do as I suggest, only one account can have the library open at a time.
I've been sharing a library with my wife (separate account) using a 2nd internal drive in my Mac Pro for about a year and it works well. Except when she deletes photos that I would have kept (of her) - but that's a different problem.

I recently downloaded acrobat reader dc. After download was complete, I could not open PDF files. Error read "Adobe acrobat reader DC could not open this file because its either not a supported file or the file has been damaged". Any suggestions?

HI davidd92392148,
Is this error occurring for all PDF files that you try to open? There is an issue where all file icons can change to the PDF icon after installation, so is it possible that the files you're trying to open have been affected by this issue (and aren't actually PDF files)? Please see Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon.
If that document isn't the key, then please tell us more about these files. Where are they stored? Did they open in previous versions of Reader?
Best,
Sara

Opening new user account- how can I moved mail and contacts?

I would like to open a new user account on my mac and move (or copy) a few things to the new account. I would like to move the mail including all the mails stored, the contacts, some of the folders etc. Is it possible? How can it be done?
Thanks, Alon

No. Not the main Library folder. Make absolutely sure you are in the Home Library folder and not the main Library folder.
Your Home Library folder is hidden in Lion. To get to it, in the Finder menu, select GO and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. The Finder window will open in your Home Library. This is where your user prefs are stored.
Once there, you will see the Preferences folder. Open it up, select all items within it and move them to the trash. You will need to restart in order for the new Finder preferences to be recreated.
Once you restart, then you will be back to the default preferences to the system and all applications. And yes, it will affect all settings including your Dock, just as logging into a new user. You will have to reset everything there also.
If you wish to do a selective method, instead of deleting all preferences, try deleting the one associated with your problem. Screen saver problems should be affected by the system preferences, so try deleting this:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist.lockfile
Note that when you delete system file preferences, a restart will be required. For applications, just quit the application before trashing preference files.

New User Account and Changing Permissions?

Yesterday I opened a new user account for each of my kids. I moved and/or imported all their stuff to their respective accounts and all seems fine. Except for one folder... The most important one (of course ;o). It has a big red circle saying "..you don't have access".
This work was done while he was still using my account. So I have since brought it back to my desktop and all is fine. Am I correct in assuming I need to change permissions on this before he can access his folder on his account? If so.. I've never done this before. Can somebody please be good enough to walk me through this? I can not lose this file. There are no copies anywhere else. Please help!

There are no copies anywhere else.
This would be good time to make one, before you do anything else!
I have since brought it back to my desktop and all is fine. Am I correct in assuming I need to change permissions on this before he can access his folder on his account?
Rather than trying to change any permissions, my suggestion would be:
1) Log into your own account and move the folder from your Desktop to your Public folder.
2) Log into your son's new account, navigate to the Public folder back on your account
HD>Users>yourname>Public
and drag the folder from there onto the current (your son's) Desktop.
This will COPY the folder into the new account rather than move it, and in doing so will correct all the permissions automatically. If the folder is very large, make sure you have enough free disk space for this copy. You can later delete the original from your own Public folder if you wish.

Setting up a new user account without apps

Hi there
Ok here's a little backgorund to help you all out first. I have had the computer since November. I bought it as a Refurb model. In December I got an Elgato diversity with Eyetv. I have had numerous problems with this (one where my whole os had major system crashes. I have sorted that out by zeroing the disk and re-installing. EyeTv just has never been the same since. SO I have contacted Elgato and I have followed there instructions to the letter T. The final instruction is to open a new user account to check for software clashes.
This obviously needs a totally new user account opening without anything from my admin account being installed on the new user.
I have tried to do this through system prefs and add new user, but it just keeps sharing all my apps and prefs.
So how do I go about creating this "Fresh user account"?
Duo Core 1.66ghz mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.4) 2gb RAM

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.

New User Account freezing

Macbook Pro OS Lion couldn't access guest account and new user account

Hi I bought this new MacBook Pro a month ago. When I try logging into my guest account, it froze. I had no other alternative but to get out of it by pressing the power button. Then I tried open a new user account to see if it also has the same problem. Unfortunately it did have the same problem - froze after I logged in. I had done a harddisk check, there seemed to be no problem. So I wonder if this is a common problem of OS Lion? And are there any way for me to solve the problem?

That is not a common problem with Lion.
My suggestion is to take it to Apple and ask them to fix. Besides if you take it Apple then they are aware of your problem just in case it returns in the future.
You might try a safe boot by holding down Shift during boot and seeing if that tells you anything.

Can't open GB files in new user account

I created a new user account just to use GarageBand as I've seen recommended here. I gave the new acct. permission to use the GB app.
I copied the GB folder with all the project files from my Home>Music folder to the new account's Public folder (Finder won't allow me to copy it to the Drop Box in the Public folder). I had to enter my admin password to do this and it took a few minutes to copy all the files.
Then I log out and open the new account and I move the GB folder from the Public folder to the Home>Music folder. But the projects won't open. I can see the red minus sign next to each file and the error message that comes up says the format is not correct.
What have I done wrong?

i used two machines, one for recording (a wee 800Mc iBook with 640MB and a FW drive), and another for mixing and Mastering (a 2.1Gc iMac, at the time).
the iBook could handle around 12-14 recorded tracks, and when it came to the heavy lifting (mixing/Mastering), the iMac handled a couple of projects that grew to around 54-55 tracks without any problem, so I never found myself in a position where i needed to do anything special to get what i needed to do done.
the only special thing i did was always log-out/in to the iBook before a recording session so that i was working from a clean slate.

Itunes installed but it won't open the new version- any advise

itunes installed but it won't open the new version- any advise

Hello goreckim,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having some issues with iTunes on your Mac Pro. You may want to isolate the issue further by testing to see if it persists in a new user account:

You can also try starting iTunes in safe mode:

im on osx version 10.8.3, on a macbook pro.
please help, thank you

HI,
I feel there is slightly more to this story.
Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x) does not have iChat.
It has Messages which is iChat+ as it has had iMessages added to it.
(I think that a Mountain Lion Upgrade is part of the picture.)
This suggests you Changed the Hard Drive and either Installed or cloned the OS on to the (new) Drive.
At this point you may have migrated your Mac User Account from different computer or the old Hard Drive.
If you were Migrating apps from an old drive or computer then it is technically possible to "install" iChat in the Applications Folder but it will not work.
Each version of iChat has to "Match" the OS it is on.
Broadly speaking that is iChat 4 is in Leopard (OS X 10.5.x) and iChat 5 is in Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.x)
In fact it goes deeper than this in that incremental updates in the OS include (sometimes) the updates to iChat.
This means that by OS X 10.5.8 at the end of the Leopard Updates iChat is at version 4.0.9
Snow Leopard gets to OS X 10.6.8 but iChat 5 only gets to version 5.0.3 at this point.
Open your Applications Folder.
Does this contain iChat, Messages or in fact Both ?
If you then highlight and then use CMD and i keys (Get Info) what version information do the app(s) display ?
The Messages App should not be put inside any other folder.
I have seen where people have created "Messaging" folders putting MSN, Skype and Messages or iChat in the same folder to "tidy" the Applications folder.
This can mess up updates.
In fact if you have done this the DOCK item may point to something that did not get Updated to Mountain Lion.
