Drag and Drop Apps to and from Dock, doesn't work for one account?

Hi there,
I have 2 accounts on my Macbook, one of them is my main account which is admin and nothing is wrong with it. The second account though is also admin but I cannot drag and drop applications to and from the dock. I can open the program, hold left click down till it pops up with options and in which you can untick Keep in Dock. Which would be fine but as soon as the computer restarts or I log out then in again, the application reappears. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Note that I have deleted both plist files from library/preferences and I have also enabled parental controls and ticked the allow users to modify the dock option. I also tried downloading Onyx and setting it up through there but it was a no go. Anyway, if anyone has any idea then that would be awesome.
Cheers

Ok, you can drag applications from your Applications and Utilities Folders to make a "alias" (aka shortcut) in the Dock, but if you drag the icon off and drop it, it "poof's" away as your deleting the alias. The program itself isn't in the Dock at all at any time.

Right, when you run a program from where ever, it places a alias icon in the Dock, which you then right click and choose to keep the alias in the Dock which survives reboots and logouts/in as normal.
If you right click and choose "open at log-in" the program will automatically run when you restart or log back into the account.

I don't see any problem, other than your not knowing the icons in the Dock are aliases.
You should set the same user controls and preferences on the second admin as the first and your problems should disappear.
OnyX is a great program, I recommend it highly, but I don't see it fixing your problem in this case. Unless there is something your not being clear on.

Can't Drag and Drop songs onto Shuffle. Autofill Doesn't work either

I know that many people have been having this same problem.
The Shuffle is recognized by the computer AND even iTunes. It shows up in the playlist, but when you try to Autofill or even Drag and Drop the songs individual, the songs, for lack of a better term, don't stick.
It was working perfectly when my daughter first got it for Christmas, and now, this happens. We have already had to return one shuffle.
Does this one have the same fate???
HELP!
Shuffle Windows XP 1 GB

Same problem here too. Was workiong fine about a month ago. When looking at songs in my Shuffle Library the new ones I have manually dragged accross appear with a 'dot' beside the track number - it is these songs which are not being transferred to the shuffle. I can't even get the message at the top of iTunes to say "Ipod Shuffle is Connected & Updating - Do Not disconnect." I have updated iTunes to latest version and completed all Shuffle updates. What's the go? Is the only solution to have the shuffle replaced? Seems very strange it used to work and now it doesn't - nothing had changed in the intervening period. Appears I'm not the only one with this issue. Does anyone have an answer?

Forgot my adminpassword, i have tried the reboot with initial disk doesn't work i can't downlad anything, I am able to log on but the name and password to get in my computer doesn't work for admin password. i am about to give up any suggestions?macbook10

forgot my adminpassword, i have tried the reboot with initial disk didn't work, i am able to get into my computer with name and password, but this same name and password doesn't work as an administrators password when i want to download or change things.
do you have any suggestions? Im about to give up, i can't even access wireless have to use a dsl
pretty sad

... this same name and password doesn't work as an administrators password when i want to download or change things.
It's probably that your Keychain password is not the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

1.3.5 update - lookup map from Contacts doesn't work for Sprint Nav or Google maps

Is anyone able to tap on a contact's address in order to launch Sprint Navigation? Or even Google Maps? In my case, Google maps alway navigates to *my* address, not the contact's address I tapped on.
Worse, my Pre hangs on the Sprint Nav splash screen when choosing that option -- similar to what others are noticing. I copied this from another forum, as it describes my problem as well:
I updated Default Applications to launch Sprint Navigation for addresses. It certainly launches from an open Contact, but locks up on the splash screen. It never displays a map (nor anything else), and the menu doesn't function. Completely unresponsive. If I launch the app stand-alone, it works fine, so Sprint Navigation doesn't seem to be broken. It just doesn't work launching from a contact address.
I've switched the default app back and forth between Google Maps and Sprint Navigation, and did a couple restarts to no avail.
Regards,
Paul
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Thanks for the feedback and link to confirm this issue. I confirmed what the other fellow wrote on that thread:
if you already have Sprint Nav open, then click the address is goes fine.
I also "fixed" the issue in which Google maps loaded but always went to *my* location. I fixed this by exorcising the unofficial Google Latitude version of Maps from my Pre.I picked up this version by following a hyperlink to the beta Latitude a number of days ago, and ever since it had replaced the regular G Maps. I was able to clear Latitude off my device by pointing the browser to maps.google.com to reload the original flavor.After that, I am able to properly launch G Maps from a contact's address field. Whew!
Regards,
Paul

Keyboard shortcuts from Greek Input not working for my account only

I just upgraded to Leopard from Tiger 10.4.11 on my MBP 2.4 listed below. The Installer took care of everything, and after it was finished, my own account, the only Admin account, misbehaves when it comes to keyboard shortcuts in the Finder or any other app. To use the shortcuts, the Input flag must US English. If it's Greek, nothing works.
If I switch to the other two accounts on my Mac, one of which was carried over from the Tiger setup, the other I setup after the OS upg, both of which are Std accounts, not Admin, shortcuts work regardless of the keyboard input flag.
Tips, anyone?

That's alright, folks, problem solved:
Ran Leopard Cache Cleaner, and selected from Caches the third option (deep clean).
Thanks, anyway. Hope this may help some other poor sod.

Rescue from CD doesn't work for XFS?

Has anyone else tried booting from the install CD to into Arch with an XFS root?
For, me, it wouldn't work. I needed to get back in after having the MBR wiped over by windows. I did vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb2 but got a kernel panic about unknown block option. I tried to explicitly state the initrd.img file in /dev/sdb1 but that didn't work.
Next I tried booting into the install system and from their chrooting into my own. However, I couldn't mount any XFS drives. It seems only reiser and ext2/3 were able to be read by the install environment.
Has anyone else had this?
Also, I think the message that comes up at the boot prompt is erroneous. It says to type 'arch root=/dev/hdXY' to access your local install. Typing this actually brings me into the install environment. You have to type in "vmlinuz root=/dev/hdXY" to try and boot your installed system

I have used Arch Cd to chroot into broken install to fix broken bootloader no problem
as for XFS well I do not use it so cannot say if it works with it or not
search forums for broken boot / mbr or look at
Rescue_a_system_with_a_broken_boot_loader

Gmail app doesn't work for multiple accounts???

I just got an iphone5 and I'm super bummed to find out that the Gmail app does not allow you to switch between two accounts, as it does on my Android phone.
What do people use to get around this?

I had the same problem none of that works...
This is what I did:
Using the adm profile, go to the windows folder, find the
regedit icon, open it, then scroll all the way down until you find
the shockwave files. Right click on each and the click on
permissions, give each user persmission and do it for all the
shockwave flash floders you see, it should be about 9.
good luck.

Deviation from Commitment Limit doesn't work for one Business Partner

Hi Experts,
I'm hoping you can help me with an issue I have at the moment.
I have an authorisation set to trigger for Delivery Notes which deviate by £1 over the Commitment Limit.
This authorisation works fine for all Business Partners apart from one.
All Business Partners have an account balance, and all Business Partners have their commitment limit set as £1. The only difference with the Business Partner with the Authorisation that won't trigger is that they pay by Credit Card...
Can anyone help me with this please?
Many thanks,
Caroline

Hi Gordon,
Thanks so much for the reply.
Yes... but I can't find anything. I managed to replicate the scenario again by making Incoming Payments with Cheque Payment Means which a future date, and the making a deposit for these Cheques with a future date. I was wondering if this could maybe have something to do with it... perhaps if the credit cards are future dated maybe. I found Note 1227330 - do you know if this might have something to do with this scenario too?
Many thanks,
Caroline

Incoming Email not working for one web app, but IS working for others in same farm.

I have enabled incoming email in a large multi-web application farm running SharePoint 2013 SP1 and the Feb 2015/March 2015 CUs that were pushed down in Windows Updates. It works just fine for two web applications, but it will not work for one particular
web application. I see the email land in the /drop folder. If I remove the email address from the library in http://nonworkingapp web
application and use it on a library in a http://working web application, then the email is processed successfully. Conversely,
if I take an address from a library in http://working and move it to a library inhttp://nonworkingapp it
does not work. I've tried multiple site collections on http://nonworkingapp. This rules out any SMTP issues, etc. and means
the issue is bound to this web application. Permissions are the same between the "non-working" and "working" locations: domain users are members on the site, and the library inherits permissions from the site. The App Pool and Timer
Service accounts have rights to the folder and to the library.
The error in the ULS log is the typical error processing message, but it gives no additional information even though I have enabled Verbose logging.
The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00: 00.0156294. The service processed 2 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 2 message(s): Message ID: Message
ID:
Typically, you see "alias not found" or some permissions or quota issue here, but this issue is NOT the same as those. In this case NO additional information is provided in ULS.
Edit: running stsadm.exe -o refreshdms -url http://one/failing/site fixed some similar issues where "Unknown alias" was
reported even though the list did have an alias (see here:http://blogs.technet.com/b/vinitt/archive/2009/07/15/e-mail-enabled-list-alias-information-is-not-synchronized-between-configuration-database-and-content-database.aspx).
This did not fix the issue for the case mentioned above.
What could possibly be the issue preventing incoming email from working on this one web application?

Thanks for your reply. Incoming E-Mail was running on all 3 WFE, however I do not think this was the cause. As noted, _other_ emails send to http://workingapp are working just fine. I can send two emails - one to a library on http://workingapp
and another on http://notworkingapp. The email to http://notworkingapp will sit in the drop folder, while the one to http://workingapp will be processed correctly. In addition, the ULS log on WFE1 indicates an attempt to process the file fails.
So clearly, the timer job on WFE1 is running and attempting to process the file. For kicks, I disabled the service on WFE2 and WFE3, but with no change in the behavior.
WRT to #1, I have done this already (as noted in the original post). I can remove an alias from http://workingapp and place it on http://nonworkingapp and it is not processed. If I return it to http://workingapp it is processed. In other
words, I go into Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a working library, and copy the alias, then disable incoming email for that library. I then go to Library Settings -> Incoming Email for a non-working library, enable incoming email, and paste
the alias. Once done, emails sent to the alias are not processed. I then do the reverse, and it works again.
On #2, I have already tried multiple libraries on http://nonworkingapp (also as noted in the original post).
In my environment, incoming email does not work for any library on http://nonworkingapp, but does work for any library on http://workingapp. Troubleshooting listed above has ruled out any problem with basic mail server configuration or library settings
- the problem is bound to http://nonworkingapp
I'm not sure what you mean by "steps to reproduce the issue". If I knew that, I would probably be able to solve the issue. The best I could come up with to describe the situation would be:
Set up SP 2010 in a three-node configuration with multiple web apps
Enable incoming email and confirm it works
Migrate to a SP2013 SP1 farm in a three node configuration.
Enable a new email alias for a library
Observe that it doesn't work for one web application.
Obviously, it's pretty unlikely that attempting that in a lab would actually have the same result.

"Exclude page from menu" doesn't work

Choosing Page > Page Properties > Menu Options > Exclude page from menus doesn't work for me in the current release. Anybody else having this problem?

Humm?
Just tested both your process and again by going to Plan View > rt-click on page > Menu Options and both instantly remove the page.
Have you tried just making simple/quick test site with 2-3 pages and trying?
Maybe somthing in your site and not in Muse that's causing the issue.

Im trying to drag and drop a email group from contacts to a new email message. But it will not let me in OS X Mavericks. Before I upgraded I could do this.

Im trying to drag and drop a email group from contacts to a new email message. But it will not let me in OS X Mavericks. Before I upgraded I could do this.

I just posted this fix to another thread and thought it might be useful to post to all of the threads I read trying to fix the problem. Here it is:
Having the same issue over here with Mavericks 10.9.1 on a new Macbook Pro/Retina. Just now found a workaround/fix/whatever:
- click on your group in the group pane of the address panel
- click anywhere in the name pane and select all (command + a)
- click the "To:" or "Cc:" or "Bcc:" tab right above the group pane at the top of the address panel window.
The names of all of the individuals in the group will appear as an expanded list in whatever field you clicked. It takes a second or two to happen.

Unable to drag and drop videos or music from PC folder to ITunes. Any ideas why?

Why can I not drag and drop videos or music from PC folder to ITunes?

I can only guess since you provide no details, but my guess is that these are either not industry-standard MPEG-4 videos but rather one of the offshoots that use the same file extension, or they're a resolution, frame rate or aspect ratio that iTunes can't accept. Can the videos and tracks be played in QuickTime Player? If so, open the Movie Inspector, find the Format information, and post that here along with your versions of Windows and iTunes. That might help people figure out what might be going wrong.

Drag and Drop between JTree and Labels in 2 different panes

Hi,
I am using JDK 1.4.1 and am trying to implement Drag n Drop between a JTree and JLabels with ImageIcons, both on different panes.
I got the DnD working fine on the tree. but i cant get to drag and drop the label from the other pane, on the Jtree as a node. I am getting confused with the DataFlavors, and also wonder if there is something else that i have to do for DnD between 2 panes. Can someone give me any leads on this, please? The Panes I am talking about are splitpanes.
thanks,
Sri.

hey thanks Dennis!! I was hoping you would respond to my question, as I have seen a lot of your replies. yes, the example you gave would be helpful. but i am trying to implement this in 1.4.1, with the new drag and drop in swing. and i am getting confused wiht theh data flavors etc.
my problem at hand is :
I have a tree on the left pane. i can drag and drop the nodes on the tree itself. (i already did that...no problem). I have Jlabels with imageicons (actually wrapper classes with labels and imageicons) on the right pane. i have to be able to drag these labels to the tree such that they form a node.
I have one class the NodeSelection class which extends TransferHandler and implements Transferable. i was able to do DnD for the tree using this. I customized the importData method in this.I thought that i can just use the same class to create the transferhandler and transferable, and just use a different implementation for the importData method if the data being dragged is from the label.
well, my thoughts and ideas were ok...but i can implement it...so they must be wrong ;-)
Can u please suggest another way to do this. I have a deadline to meet and am stuck here :-( any suggestions or tips or hints would be very helpful and appreciated!!
Thanks,
Sri.
