Finder always restarts. I can't have access to folders.

Everytime I doubleclick any folder on my desktop, the folder will appear for only a split second and then disappears. Finder seems to restart every time. I have access to all my files (opening them from within the applications). The dock works fine.
I have a MacBook Pro which is one week old. Until now everything was working fine. Any idea what this might be?
Thanks for any help.

Log back into your normal user account:
Here's the whole litany for thoroughly checking your home folder. It's not as daunting as it looks.
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 Times 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.
4. Navigate to YourHome/Library/Caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.

Hi there
I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds. After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
Hope this helps

I live in China, have Dutch nationality, and no US address or Credit Card; how can I have access to products from the US iTunes store, in particular music, when such items are not available from the China iTunes store? In general, what are the differences between countries' iTunes offerings? Does one really need an address and a credit card for any country to be able to access that countries iTunes store? Why these restrictions?

You cannot.
You cannot use another countrys itunes store.
You must be physically locates inside the borders of a country to use that countrys itunes store and a credit card issued in that country with a valid billing address in that country.
The owners of the distribution rights of movies/music/etc differ by country. These distributors decide who can sell their content in that country.
Buy from another source if your countrys itunes store does not carry somehting that you want.

To plugin developers: can I have access to any metadata field of the catalog in Print Module?

Dear LR plugin developers,
Maybe one of you has already implemented such a feature, maybe I can entice you to do so, if several people find this useful?
Is there a forum for plugin feature requests? If so, forgive me for using this general user-to-user for this. Or would you look on the Adobe feature request forum for such input?
I would like to have access to any metadata field of the catalog in Print module, ok if for all LR standard catalog fields, preferable if also for custom fields created by other plugins.
I would want to add such a field underneath each image on a print page, e.g. something like complete exposure info.
Doing so in export in a "Mogrify-like" way would also be ok, if metadata accessible. Fixed custom text obviously would be cumbersome, as limiting to 1 image to export at a time. Creating jpgs in export is ok,
Print module would be preferable as I was hoping for more than one image per page=jpg.
Now if such text could even be placed anywhere on a print template, possibly containing also free text, and formatable - you would have corrected the basic design flaw of the Book module imo...

The problem one faces is that the SDK does not access Print or Book. You'll need to (ab)use the fields that are available, and I'd suggest you look at my Search and Replace plugin which can transfer values between fields. So you could move info from an inaccessible field to one that can be printed. Maybe use virtual copies which you can just discard afterwards?

Find all users who does not have access to a shared mailbox.

Hi all,
We are in the proces of setting up a hybrid enviroment with our E2010 towards Office365. As part of that, we want to move several batches of users. The first bunch if users we move should not use any shared mailboxes etc. but how do I find
those? I can see there are powershell scripts that find users who has a shared mailbox and then list the permission - but that is kind of the opposite than what I want :)
Browsing manually through users is not practical either as we have 10000+ mailboxes at the moment.
Hoping for a quick reply :)
/Trev

It is not possible to accomplish this by using powershell. Easier one is to get the list of people who has access on something with below and do easier data manipulation in Excel :
Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited | Get-MailboxPermission | ?{$_.isinherited -eq $False -and $_.user -notlike "*self*"} | select identity, user,accessrights

Can I have access to Standard Users accounts if I am an Administrator?

I run a department with 4 Mac minis. Before today they all had a generic user and a common password. Using ARD I could access all of them at any time.
Its been determined that we need to set up individual users on these machines. If the individual user changes his password, I no longer have access to the machine.
All of the users are set up as Standard Users
I have an Administrator user on every machine.
Is there a way I can open my Admin user while they are logged in? Even in Curtain mode?
Is there a way, I can see and control their desktop without their password.
I need to install, update and make changes to software on these machines, but I want them to have passwords so they can keep their private company email on there.
Any suggestions?
Im running OS 10.9
The other macs are running 10.6.8
all ARD versions are 3.5.4

Nevermind! I fixed my own problem.
Delete the computers in ARD "All Computers" (take note of the IP addresses first)
Go to the scanner and search for the IP address.
log in with the Administrator UN & PW.
You now have access.

150:30 error. How can I have Access to programs again?

hard drive died.New hard drive in. Now I cant access adobe Illusttrator/Photoshop anymore. 150:30 error message. Also don't have access to my adobe creative suite hard copies anymore, got lost in the move. Need to have my Adobe programs working. How can this get done?

seattelite,
You might want to consider switching to Creative Cloud if you have lost your installation media. In any event, I moved this post over to the Creative Cloud forum as the ColdFusion forum was not the appropriate place for this topic.
Good luck,

Can I have access to partition of the other operating system?

Hi everyone,
I have Windows 8.1 installed through the Bootcamp. I gave a limited 56 GB space to the Windows partition and now I want to have access to some files that I have in MacOS drive. Is it possible to have access to those files? I am looking for a way to be able use the files in both partitions no matter which operating system is up in the computer.
Thanks in advance.

Of course. Moreover, Apple includes a driver inside the Boot Camp drivers you have to install in Windows that allows you to read your OS X volume in Windows. If you have not installed those drivers, look for your computer's model and your Windows version in this website to download the proper drivers -> Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support
After downloading the drivers (I suppose you are doing it in Windows), just open the downloaded file and run the installer.
However, note that the driver is read-only, so you will not be able to write in the OS X volume. Instead, I would recommend you to copy the files you need to modify from the OS X volume to the Windows one, so then you can move them to the OS X volume once you have booted up in OS X.

I too have the same problem

Installed mavericks server and now some users don't have access to folders!? Why and how do I fix it???

I have just upgraded the server and os to mavericks and now users that used to be able to open and save or even log in are now locked out with the server saying wrong password. I reset their password and still nothing. I created a new user and they can't even log in? Why now? And how do I fix this. It seems that some users and groups now don't have access and all that was done was to let the group open a shared folder that they have access before. I reset everything and am now very frustrated!!!

Hi
Seem to be an issue with Maverick
After trying to solve the issue with all tips i found here and on the net
I decided to go back to Mountain Lion for my server using TimeMachine backup, and stay with Maverick for my imacs
Work well again
Until Apple will communicate on it or deliver a patch, i would suggest to do the same

I just upgraded from i-tunes 10 to i-tunes version 11.1.3 in order to sync my i-phone. All my libraries now come up now as one combined library, which makes it frustrating and difficult to find my songs. Can I have both the 10 and the new 11.1.3 on ?

I had to upgrade to i-tunes 11.1.3 from my old i-tunes 10 so that my i-phone could get synced to i-tunes. I used to have several i-tunes libraries on my computer for various subjects. Like for movies, bird recordings, and songs I wrote myself. Now when I open i-tunes all the libraries open up at once in one library, it is completely reorganized, making it almost impossible to find my old songs, playlists, movies, etc. I just got done organizing my libraries, and now its all confused and Im terribly frustrated. How can I get my old organization back, and is it possible to have several libraries again, or both the old and new i-tunes on the same hard drive? Anyone have any advice how to organize my new i-tunes ?

What a waste of space to paste the code.
Why not ask in the iLife > iPhoto forum where your question belongs.

My husband and I have the same Apple ID number so that we can both have access to an app we use. I don't like the fact that our calendar, notes and email is also shared. Is there a way to separate the things we want separate yet keep access to the cloud

My husband and I share the same Apple ID number because we both need access to an app that has a subscription and would be expensive for us to do separately. We don't like that this shared ID number means we also share our calendar, note pages, email, etc....Is there a way to separate the things we don't want to share?

That would be my suggestion. Just keep using the common one for purchases in the stores. Then each get another AppleID using a free gmail, AOL, hotmail, MS Live or whatever email account.
Delete your current iCloud account and login with the new AppleID, and logout of Messaging and then backin with the new AppleID. Now you have a shared iTunes/App store account, but completely separate, independent iCloud and iMessage accounts.
You can still share calendars if you wish to, even across separate accounts - http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690

Is it possible to block AirPort so that people can't have access to sharing Wi-Fi including the administrator?

In the company many people are sharing wi-fi threw Imac/ Macbook. I would like a solution for this problem. What can I do?
Thanks,
Gabriel Tonin

If you are using an Apple AirPort router, like the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or Time Capsule.....the products pictured below.....the only way that you can limit users from connecting is by setting up what is known as Timed Access on the network.
If you are using one of these products to provide the wireless network there, post back if want a few more details about Timed Access.
