Dock - one of the users on my computer cant drag items in or out

Can anyone help. One of the 4 users on my imc - my daughter- seems to have frozen her dock and we can't add or delete anything - particularly annoying as she has 3 question marks there

Gary,
Found an article here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106469
Also, I did a quick google search and found a way to restart the dock:
Open the 'Terminal' app (applications/terminal)
When cursor appears, type 'killall Dock' (make sure to capitalize dock)
You'll see the dock dissapear, then reappear.
I tried it a couple of times on my Mac, it successfully restarted the dock.

    For multiple users on a computer, will Firefox Sync synchronize all the users on a computer or only the one logged on? For instance my spouse and I will share a laptop and I want to sync my Firefox when I log on there also but do not want to sync her data.

    youy probably will have to force quit - wait long enough that you are sure no disk activity is taking place - if launching iPhoto does not work after the force quit Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

  • How can all the users in my computer (my kids) have access to all the photos I have in I Photo?

    How can all the users in my computer (my kids) have access to all the photos I have in I Photo? My photos only appear when I (the administrator) log into the computer. I want my kids to be able to access them also.

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • One of the users on my Mac book pro, running Mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on

    One of the users on my Mac book pro running mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on.
    For instance, the Macintosh HD icon, is always moved so that it is almost off the screen to top left hand side of the desktop.
    None of my changes to the sidebar in the finder are there.
    My changes to the dock have reverted.
    Despite unticking the box when logging out, even though i have quit all applications, iphoto and safari are always re-opened.
    iphoto always says the library needs to be upgraded... even though i did that the last time.
    I have tried deleting ALL the files in the "Saved application state" folder in the library folder, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
    This is on a second admin user account.
    The main user account seems to be fine.
    This account used to be in the filevault on Lion, but is not now in Mountain Lion.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    The same tragic thing happened to me, not even a full two days after I bought it. I immediately powered it off, wiped it as best I could, and put it in front of a fan. I tried valiantly to get the back off, but couldn't remove all the screws. I was basically inconsolable until I realized that no matter what, my credit card insurance would cover it, since it had been less than 90 days. Fast forward 48 hours, and it seemed to run just fine. Some of the keys and the track pad were sticky, and I figured since it was covered, I might as well get it fixed. My only concern at this point was had I voided the Apple Care. I brought it in, told them what happened, said what I needed to satisfy the credit card, and they said, "We'll just swap it out for you, no problem." I was thrilled, and the Genius said they appreciated my honesty, and it was easier for all parties to just do it this way. And my Apple Care was transferred to the new machine. This was my first Mac and, needless to say, I am now an Apple devotee.

  • Two users share one Apple ID, on two phones. can they be separated without losing phone backups? IE creating a new ID for one of the users?

    my in-laws share one apple id for two separate iPhones. They would like to create a new ID for one of the users but maintain his current backup. can this be done?

    If you want to create a new account make sure you sign out of everything via the settings. (ICloud, iTunes, facetime, messages, etc) APPS: since the apps were downloaded with a different apple ID, you will always need to use the password for the apple ID that downloaded that particular APP when it needs to be updated. Unless it is free, you can simply delete it and download it under the new apple ID. As for the music, you can keep it on the IOS device,  but if it's accidentally deleted, you'd have to sign back into the original account and download from the cloud. (But, you risk getting the 90 day lockout. )

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • If I do a repair the windows small business server 2011 standard repair console, will I loose the user's and computer's that are currently setup on the server ?

     will I loose the user's and computer's that are currently setup on the server?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I understand you want to repair SBS 2011 console (please refer to
    the TechNet article:
    Repair the Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Console). However, worry about losing users and groups that be created by Windows SBS Console. As far as I know, those will not lose.
    Since, when you create users and groups via SBS console, those are added to Activity Directory.
    The SBS console is a GUI component, which makes it easy to configure and manage your Windows SBS 2011 Standard network. When you repair the SBS console, this component will be affected.
    In view of your concerns, please back up before operation. It will help us to avoid some unexpected
    issue.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

    Hi,
    One of the user in exchange 2010 - outlook 2010 environment, in sent items email from address shows as invalid address after sent emails to recipients. Recipients are successfully received the emails. however, why the invalid address appearing in sent items

    Hi,
    As what ManU Philip says, please check the issue in OWA firstly and try setting changes in Outlook.
    Additionally, I noticed that there is an On Behalf Of in your post. If the issue is also the same on OWA, We can use the following command to check whether the user have Send on Behalf
    permission on “/O=FIRST ORGANIZATION/OU…”:
    Send On Behalf:
    Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited | ?{$_.GrantSendOnBehalfTo} | select Name,GrantSendOnBehalfTo
    Please try to remove these rights and restart Outlook to check the issue existing.
    If all of the above fails, Please collect the error logs in Event Viewer and post here. I would like to help you any time.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,

  • How do I resend an invite email for one of the user in my Aruba Central account?

    Q: How do I resend an invite email for one of the user in my Aruba Central account?
    A: Aruba Central allows administrator to create multiple user of different access levels to help manage the system.  As new uses are created by administrator, an invitation email is sent to the user's email address to activate the account. 
    In certain situations, these emails get into spam or junk folders with no visibility to end-user. These are cases, where re-sending an invitation email is of much helpful.
    Follow these steps to resend invite email to a specific user:
    Login to Aruba Central and click on "All Groups"
    In the left-menu, click on "Maintenance" and then "User Management"
    Clik on "Resend Invite email" and mention the email address you wanted to send the invite again:

    By default, the Menu Type option for menus is set to Top Level Pages. You can change this behavior by choosing Menu Type > All Pages from the menu options. The steps to do this are described in Adding a Horizontal Menu widget

  • One of the user accounts on my computer cannot access the start up disk or its user folder.

    I have two user accounts on my computer, both with administrator permissions.  One account appears to function normally; however, when I log in to the other account, the System Disk does not appear on my desktop, and does not appear in Finder either. When I ran the disk utility as the user with the problem account, I was instructed to repair the Disk by restarting in recovery mode.  Running the Disk Utility in recovery mode was unsuccesful.  I received a message saying the disk could not be repaired, and that I should back up what I could, then reformat.  I exited the utility and restarted my computer logging in under  the user that does not appear to have a problem.  I ran disk utility as this user; however, this time the utility reports that everything seems to be okay.  I log back in with the problem account and the problem stil exists.  I cannot see the system disk.

    Thanks for your help.  I didn't see your tip until after I had decided to delete the user account then recreate it.  When I recreated the account, I thought I was still in trouble, because the disk did not appear on my desktop or in finder.  Then I saw your tip to check the preferences.  I changed the preferences and now I am able to see the disk in finder and on the desktop. Your tip to check Finder preferencese was something I did not know about.  I am not sure how they were changed. I don't remember ever changing them.  I guess thinking about it more, the default option may be to have the disk hidden from the desktop and finder, In the which case I was simply remembering wrong. 
    The only thing that puzzles me still is why when I ran Disk Utility on the one account, it indicated that the disk needed to be repaired, but that it was unable to repair the disk,  though, when I ran Disk Utility on the other account, it said everything was okay. After deleting and recreating the account, Disk Utility no longer indicates any problems.  It looks like there was something wrong, just don't know exactly what.  At anyrate, it is all fixed, and I now know about the finder and desktop view options.  Glad it wasn't something more serious. Thanks for your help.
