Everything in my user account crashes PSE 12 and Thunderbird

Upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot attach files in Thunderbird or open files in PSE12. It simply disappears. How to fix this??

Same problem with my configuration ... the problems are in progress and startet 3 days ago. At first the Adobe program Illustrator and Indesign made problems - now thunderbird crashing complete, if the function attachment save ...
The finder (or the window) displays only for seconds. And you have to be really fast ... Anyone have a workaround?

  • No User accounts after Archive and Install ?

    Today I tried to salvage a 20" iMac G5 for a friend. He had done something that screwed up his hard drive. Disk Utility Disk Repair run of the startup partition always failed. Using an external FW disk, I was able to use Disk Utility Repair successfully, but drive would still not boot. Decided Archive and Install was the right way to go, did that and everything seemed OK but I found I could not log in to his account. Thought it was just a lost password, so tried using the OSX Tiger Install DVD to Reset Password. His *Macintosh HD* Startup drive shows only the "root" user available, neither of the two previous user account names appear.
    I can think of nothing to do to recover except an Erase & Install (I have his User files saved). Is there an alternative?
    I would assume performing another Archive & Install would yield the same result.

    I continued work on this issue today. First, I checked and the three User account folders were present in the Users folder along with the one new account created as part of the Mac OSX Tiger A&I. For some reason, not one of these 4 was accessible from the Login screen; it acted exactly if there were no user accounts.
    Purchased and installed DiskWarrior 4 on the FW drive and rebuilt the directory of the iMac's internal drive. Ran all other tests available w/ DW. Still no joy on logging in. I should NOT have had to see the Login screen at all if the new user had been created properly.
    Punted. Copied everything I thought I would need to the external drive, then did an Erase & Install of OS X Tiger. Applied all updates, no problems logging in. Copied all the original User/username files and folders and restored a few apps.
    Finally, after much wasted time, I have all but one App running and all data files, folders, pics, music restored.
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 fails because I apparently failed to save a .plist file somewhere and now I learn too late that PE 3.0 will not install on a 10.4.x system. Sigh.

  • Second user account crashes the system?

    I'm really stumped; after enduring the migration assistant screw up and crash the newly installed Snow Leopard system on my macbook pro...THREE TIMES and finally ferrying all the documents and apps manually to my primary (home) account, I created a second user account to use for my office work. The home account seems to work fine, but when I logout and try to access the new, empty office account, it's like opening the door and stepping into blank space; all I get is the pink and blue astral plane and the spinning beachball of death!! The only solution is to press the on off button and reboot.
    What do I do? This seems to be a different problem from the guest account accidentally wiping the hard drive clean? HEEELLLP!! I can't work until I can get my computer up!

    Thanks VK and KT for the replies. I''ve done it both ways: I've deleted the second account and recreated it with a new name...still doesn't work. Changed the 2nd account from a Admin account to Standard, and that didn't work. AND I've tried logging out of one and directly into the other, and when that didn't work (because the system crashed) I started up from scratch and went directly to the second user account... and the same thing happened. LOL at least it's consistent <rueful grin>

  • Creating user accounts with OIDDAS and use them from the OS

    Hi,
    I have a customer that is experiencing an error creating user accounts from OIDDAS, and use that user accounts from the operating system.
    My customer is using OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.2.0, and that version is not longer available to download, then, I will try in my own environment
    with OID/OAS4OS 10.1.4.3.0.
    And the question is the following: is supported to create user accounts with OIDDAS and expect that users can work with OAS4OS and be
    able to authenticate in the operating system?
    For the reference, SR# 7222351.993:

    Hi Jacco,
    I didn't see your post before.
    Nop, unfortulately I don't have a document with that. I just received that answer
    from development (related to the plugin for AD that is not certified, and DAS is
    not intended to work with OAS4OS).
    Anyway, about the plugin to work with AD, this is working for me; at least I tested
    it by configuring the plugin, I configured synchronization, the mapping file, I did
    the bootstrap, and the accounts that were bootstraped now shows the OS attributes
    on DAS.

  • I have had a new hard drive installed. On start up I transferred all my settings and documents from my time capsule. Once complete I have two user accounts. Mine and guest. I cannot access either. Mine says password incorrect even though its not.

    I have had a new hard drive installed. On start up I transferred all my settings and documents from my time capsule. Once complete I have two user accounts. Mine and guest. I cannot access either. Mine says password incorrect even though its not. Any idea what is wrong here and how I can reset my password. I don't have a start up disc. Thanks very much

    From System Preferences/Help:
    Reset your login password using your Apple ID
    Before you can use your Apple ID to reset your login password, make sure that FileVault isn’t enabled on your computer.
    Also make sure that an Apple ID is associated with your user account, and that an administrator has given you permission to reset your own password using an Apple ID. For more information, see this help topic:
    Associate Apple IDs with your user account
    Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
    In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.
    Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.
    I don't know if it works.

    Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a cloning tool such as Disk Utility. Preferably both. You must be certain that you can restore everything to the state it's in now.
    Boot into Recovery, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you import the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
    Using Setup Assistant
    Import only the original administrator account. Also import Applications and other files. Test the system when it's up and running. If it seems normal, use Migration Assistant to import the other user accounts, one at a time.
    How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from a Time Machine backup
    After each one, back up and test.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.

  • User accounts, directory structures and selective access privileges

    Bought a new MacBook Pro back in April and only now am I getting down to using it. I was thinking of creating the following user accounts in the hope of creating a scheme that allows selective access to certain folders:
    Root -a super user account
    Admin - I don’t think I should be logged in as the administrator all the time
    Jai Gill - my main account with all my work files including client information that is organised in a Workflow folder containing a Projects folder and a Clients folder (within which, each of my clients has a folder)
    Show Time - a secure Simple Finder type account for when I am running a client specific presentation or workshop to ensure all data for other clients is kept secure and away from prying eyes.
    When using the Show Time account, I would like to set it up so that only those files relating to the client in question are available for use. For instance, if I am running a workshop for Client G, I only want the folder for Client G available for use in this account and not any other clients. A few hours or days later, this could change to Client B or F or J etc so I need a way to easily secure the current client’s data and switch over to the other client’s data i.e., put away work and pull up new work.
    Would it be possible to create a scheme using aliases placed in Show Time’s Documents folder pointing at a client folder in my documents folder to allow this to happen? Would I have to create a group with the right access privileges to enable this to happen? Or is there an alternative method based on using the Shared files folder and some sort of script or application to create a duplicate of a client folder and use a scheme to synchronise it with the original client folder?
    Is this possible in Mac OSX? Any thoughts? Ideas? Applications/utilities that already enable this to happen?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi Kiraly
    I cracked it today. Took a couple of hours to figure out some idiosyncrasy but I'm now set.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Got a copies of Sharepoint, Workgroup Manager and ChronoSync.
    2. Logged into the MacBook Pro as myself, went into System Preferences and used the normal approach to set up an account for a user called Show Time
    3. Using Workgroup Manager, created an addition workgroup called macshow
    4. Made myself and Show Time members of macshow
    5. Attached the MBP to my G5 using my 2gen iPod's FireWire cable and cranked it up in target disk mode
    6. Using ChronoSync, did a 'bi-directional' synchronisation of my Workflow folder into a location in the MBP's Shared folder (going to do this all the time)
    7. Shut down, detached then restarted the MBP and logged on as myself.
    8. Located the Workflow folder in the Shared folder and by getting information, set that folder and all it's contents to be owned by me but accessible and R/W for the group macshow
    9. Went two levels into the Workflow folder [Workflow/4 Delivery/Client T] and using SharePoint, made the folder Client T accessible to the group macshow.
    10. Logged in as Show Time and accessed the Shared folder to find that my scheme had worked and I had access to the folder for Client T and all it's contents.
    11. Logged out and went back in under my ID and now using System Preferences, crippled the Show Time account down to Simple Finder with access limited to just a handful of applications like KeyNote, Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Safari.
    12. Went back in as Show Time and it went into Simple Finder and thereafter, everything works great. Workflow showed up as did the folder for Client T plus all its contents. Opened a few documents and presentations and they wrked great.
    New learning points for me:
    1. I had to log out then log back in to make the access privileges stick when using the Show Time accounts
    2. A number of locked Excel files prevented access privileges being set - had to locate and unlock each
    3. Using both SharePoint and Workgroup Manager may be seem to be overkill but it works as these two applications helped in getting the groups sorted out as well as access to a specific folder.
    The best part of the above scheme is that I can at anytime, using SharePoint, change the client folder being shared with the user Show Time through the use of the group macshow i.e., change Client T back to my group and then pick say Client J or any number of other client folders and assign them to the group macshow.
    Thanks to you and the others who have posted on this and all other threads on this topic, I have sorted this out in one go.
    Jai
    PS in case you're wondering why it took me so long to get down to do it, it is something called client work. And may there be more of it too!

  • User account missing files and preferences??  Not from renaming home folder

    Hi all,
    After some strange behaviour in Apple Color, upon rebooting, my user account has returned to default. I had many items on the desktop and various subfolders in the documents folder. All pictures. Music. All are now gone. Desktop and dock have been reset to default.
    The user folder still exists but everything I had in there is gone.
    Another user may have been created called "root" containing only
    /Library
    /Documents/Color Documents...etc
    I am aware of the problem with changing the short name or renaming the home folder (after sifting through this forum) and it is definitely not this problem.
    Maybe its somehow related but I definitely did not rename any of these things myself. And there is no duplicated user account with all my files in it.
    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
    Nate
    ps. Is it possible to restore the system to an earlier time like in Windows?
    I've read somewhere that a Previous System folder exists and it might be possible with Disk Utility but I can't find this folder anywhere.
    Message was edited by: stoney23

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the reply. I've managed to restore most of my important stuff using a file recovery software so I'm at peace with the loss of only a few files now. I'll just have to start rebuilding my dock and preferences again now which is not the end of the world.
    After a bit of thinking about it I'm 95% sure this is what happened.
    Color tried to save an image file with the same name as the folder I had made storing all my Color project saves. The folder was called Post. I'm not quite sure how its possible but it managed to overwrite the folder with the new image file. Now there is a Color image file (with no extension) there called Post and no folder.
    Then I tried to save the Color project and of course it told me the project directory was missing and it will create a new one. I'm guessing this is when Color bulldozed through my user account to create the folder Color Documents where it DIDN'T save the file anyway
    Leaving me with a default user account deleting everything that was 'added' to the account previously.
    It also created another user account called 'root' in which there is also only a Color Library/preferences and documents folder
    Is that normal that things like that can just happen?
    I guess from here I will just try and finish my project and afterwards do a re-install of the OS just to be sure - checking the Archive and Install option this time
    Unless you have any other ideas from what I've told you.
    Thanks again for replying

  • HARD TO SOLVE - User account free space and HD free space do not match

    Hello.
    I just upgraded my iMac from a 320Gb to a 1Tb, so as to have more space (obviously). The APR did install the HD since I did not want to mess myself with the hardware (I'm clumsy). I then reset the data via TimeMachine since all my files are in a filevault protected account.
    I now have a problem they cannot solve. My user account (there's only one account on the whole computer, let's call it XYZ) is protected by filevault. In the user account XYZ there are only about 100Gb of space left, whereas the LocalHD clearly shows that there are more than 475Gb left on the LocalHD. I cannot turn off filevault as it keeps saying that I am missing about 370Gb of free space to turn off filevault.
    And I need more space in my user account XYZ for various reasons, one of them being synchronisation over internet et caetera. Does anyone have a solution which does not consist in moving every single file manually to a new user account?
    My guess was that the filevault account XYZ is limited by size since it comes from the old HD which was only 320Gb, but even that makes no solution, as it occupies a lot more than 320Gb at this point (my iTunes lib is bigger). As I said, the Luxembourg APR have no idea how to solve this issue, I would be more than glad if one of you had a solution to trick the filevault account XYZ into believing it had more space allocated (I'm not that used to the terminal, it may be the key to the problem).
    Thank you so much in advance,
    Laurent

    Hi,
    My guess was that the filevault account XYZ is limited by size since it comes from
    the old HD which was only 320Gb,
    Yes, I think this is what happened - see
    *Mac OS X: FileVault-protected Home shows less capacity than what's available on the hard disk*
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24068
    but even that makes no solution, as it occupies a lot more than 320Gb at this
    point (my iTunes lib is bigger).
    At least in Snow Leopard, when you create a FileVault account the "potential capacity" of the FileVault volume contained in the sparsebundle is twice the size of the underlying HD! Obviously that capacity could never be realized, since the sparsebundle could not grow larger than the HD that contains it. So for example, my startup HD volume capacity is 320GB. If I create a test Filevault account named "fv" and Get Info on the FileVault mounted volume (the icon in the sidebar), it shows an apparent capacity of 640GB! The reported Used space is apparently artificially inflated so as to make the actual available space seem correct:
    The normal fix for your situation is to turn off Filevault and then optionally turn it on again, but you currently don't have enough free space on the HD to do this. The FileVault sparsebundle is supposed to self-compact when you log out of FileVault, and so compacting it manually may not help. If you do try this via a Terminal command, I think you will have to do it as root - I could not directly access a FileVault sparsebundle from a different admin account.
    The support article above suggests:
    If you do not have sufficient free space on your hard disk, you will need to temporarily reduce the size of your home directory, for example by copying a large amount of data in your home directory to an external hard disk, then deleting the stuff that you moved from your Home. After copying, log out or restart so that FileVault can reclaim the unused space.
    This seems safe, though time-consuming.
    An alternative approach would be to try to directly resize the FileVault sparsebundle and its contained volume. This can apparently be done, but is obviously risky since if something goes wrong you could easily lose everything in the Filevault account. I did some experimenting and was able to increase the size of my test FileVault home volume to 1T by logging out of the Filevault account, logging into a different admin account, and then using this Terminal command:
    sudo hdiutil resize -size 1000g /Users/username/username.sparsebundle
    Here <username> is the name of the FileVault account. I was asked first for the current logged-in admin account password (for the sudo) and then for the password to access the sparsebundle, which is the password for the FileVault account. This seemed to work (it took some time to complete), and I was then able to re-log into the Filevault account. The sidebar Filevault icon Get Info now showed a capacity of 1.07 TB.
    But again, this seems risky - I can't recommend trying it except perhaps on a backup clone.

  • Can I share user account between mac and PC

    Hi, I would like some help. I have a mac mini and will add osx server on to it soon. Now I also have two Windows PC's and would like to connect everything. I would like to use the mac as my main working device (and as a server) I would then like to be able to logon to my mac account on the PC's. So share user account from the mac onto the PC's?
    Is this possible? If so is there a very details tutorial somewhere I can't seem to find one.
    P.S NOT just file sharing. I don't want the user account or fils to be on the PC's.
    Regards
    Aled

    Windows prefers to authenticate with Microsoft Active Directory.   This configuration is possible, but probably not in the price or complexity range that you might want.   Not unless you're inclined to run both OS X Server and Open Directory and Windows Server with Active Directory (or the Active Directory compatibility available with Samnba installed on a Linux server), which won't be a small investment or a small effort.
    If you want to research this, look for information on the so-called "magic triangle" or "golden triangle" configuration.   I'm not aware of a short tutorial for this, as neither AD nor OD tend to be particularly small projects to configure and deploy.
    Probably closer to your budget, a password manager or the keychain in OS X can store the access credentials.

  • Synching apps with 2 user accounts, 3 devices and one computer only

    I have a question that I can't find a clear answer.
    I previous had one iPod touch and one iPad that I synched with my iTunes library. No problem. But now the wife has finally purchased a verizon iPhone and I want to be able to use my vast app collection for her phone.
    Scenario is we each have separate user accounts (so we can maintain our own calendars and contacts, ect.). We each have our own ITunes accounts and our own iTunes libraries by default. She will not be purchasing much on her account though.
    How do I, without creating a can of worms, create one library to sync to so I can put apps and music on her phone without erasing any of her separate information. I have read a lot on the subject and there does not seem to be a clear answer anywhere. Yes, I have read ht1495 but that does not seem to be exactly on point
    Basically, I have 3 devices, 2 user accounts and 2 iTunes accounts but one computer only. I want to be able to have all iTunes stuff available on both user accounts and be able to have both people be able to read and write to the same library. I am sure there are plenty of people running into this issue with more and more people getting iPhones with verizon. It seems that it is easier to do with multiple computers than one computer.
    So, I am looking for help or advice on the easiest way to accomplish this task.

    In a way, each iTunes libary is considered to be a different account. Your daughter's iTunes account doesn't have access to your wife's data which has all the verification data.
    One option would not only to place the library in a Shared area, but also the verification data. I poked around and am not sure where it's stored. It's a good discussion to have with an Apple store Genius if you have one nearby.

  • Two user accounts, one itunes, and updating apps

    This may be just a rant, but perhaps somebody has some ideas for how to fix this.
    My wife and I both have iTunes accounts, and we have material, including apps, from both accounts on our main home computer.
    Frequently, the Apps icon shows that there are 'updates' for the various Apps. Like a fool, I click on the button and see what updates there are. So far, so good.
    When I try to download updates, though, I have all sorts of issues. The most common is that it says something like 'sorry, bozo, these updates are for the other account, not the one your logged into right now. log into the other account and come back.'
    That's the kind of thing that is just a plain stupid pain. Why in the **** can't it just keep the account information available and just download the blasted updates? I don't want to have to log into other accounts. I don't have to when I download updates on my iPhone (which also has some apps from both accounts) – why do I have to do it in iTunes?
    Bleep, bleep, BLEEEEP!
    It does a bunch of other things that are equally (or more) stupid, too. Sometimes, it gives me a message that I "can't update this software since I have not owned the major version of it". I'm guessing that this is related to the account thing, too.
    iTunes people: For the love of Pete, please, please, make the multiple accounts on one iTunes feature more user(s) friendly.
    Everybody else: please tell me if there is some sort of secret trick for making all these problems go away.

    I still think this is stupid. Maybe I'm one of a small minority that has more than one iTunes account active in a single iTunes library? Or is this a common situation?

  • On one user account: finder blinks and icons missing

    I have 2 user accounts on our iMac G5. One account works fine and the other is messed up (Finder blinks repeatedly at startup, and many icons are missing)... Disk Utility found a couple things to repair, but no improvement.
    Aside from deleting and recreating the account, any other steps? What else should I look for or be aware of?

    Just make sure that whatever you put on the account is not corrupted, check to make sure it works on your main account before transferring.

Maybe you are looking for
