Finder is not available for standard user

Hi,
I recently installed OS X (10.8.2) from app store. We created "Data" folder and created few admin and non admin users. Granted access to both users to same folder. When admin logged off and standard user logged in, he could not find Finder. Repeated this with 8 standard users and Finder is not available for all 8 standard users. For 2 admin users Finder is available.
We did not change any settings whatsoever, so not sure this behavier is by design or I am missing something.
Please help
Thanks in advance.

Are you running OS X 10.8 client or Server (is Server.app installed)? If you are using OS X Server, are these local accounts or network accounts?
What do you mean by "could not find Finder?" As in could not log in? Could not access this 'Data' folder in Finder?

  • Form service not available for few users

    Dear all,
    we have nearly 500 users connected to Oracle App server 9i Release " ".
    We have a main form called "main.fmx" .
    In middle of the day a change my "main.fmx".
    As user are connected i cannot replace it.
    So what i do is
    1) I first rename the "main.fmx" on application server to main_1.fmx" which it allows to do on application server.
    2) Copy the modified "main.fmx" directly to application server.
    What we observed is all the users which were connected before renaming where able to acceses all the options of "Main.fmx" .
    The user which logged in after the file was rename were getting following error :
    1) "FRM-92050 : Failed to connect to the server : webdb-01:9001".
    Kindly let me know what is the problem.
    Thanking you in anticipation.
    Regards,
    Devendra

    the app-server did let you delete the file, because the OAS did need the file.
    when you use this trick - then don't ask yourself, why the OAS has a problem after the rename and ...
    it's easier to find out, which user are actually using this form and shut down this users. After that you can overwrite the file and no problems will occur.
    I have created a technique, in which each form stores the actual form-name in the session-environment. So I can look in the database-sessions which users are connected, and which forms they are working in - actually.
    Then you can email them to leave the form and after that you can do the copy
    try it

  • Flash Player does not work with Standard User, but will work when browser is "Run as Administrator"

    I don't understand why this is happening, but Flash Player will not work when a Standard User is using the browser. It will only work when the browser is run as an administrator. Any way to fix this? I've tried to uninstall, and reinstall the player, and it still wouldn't work.
    The user is on Windows 7, 64-bit. Using IE 10.
    Flash not working for Standard User - YouTube

    Any update to provide at all here guys?  Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs).  I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing.  If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.

  • Why Lumia710 is "update not available" for "Taiwan...

    I bought Lumia710 in Taiwan, I think Nokia also sold many 710 for Taiwan people.
    But why Lumia710 is update not available for Taiwan users ?
    We also need new features and further enhancements to the Nokia Lumia710 in Taiwan.
    We waiting for
    Latest Windows Phone operating system (Note. This is not WP 7.8 yet.)
    Internet sharing (Wi-Fi Hotspot) — Share your phone's internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices or computers.
    Flip to silence — Silence incoming calls by turning your phone face down.
    Fix to prevent the volume of the ringtone temporarily increasing (Lumia 800 specific)
    Download new apps from Marketplace, such as camera extras, including smart group shot and self-timer, Contacts share, and Play To, a DLNA app for showing your content wirelessly.
    Usability and performance improvements.
    Additionally Camera Extras (incl. smart group shots, panorama, action shots, etc.) will be available from the Marketplace plus other new imaging apps (like Citylens).
    But just only Taiwan's Lumia710 users got update not available in Asia pacific.
    It is mean : Latest version of software update will not be launched for this product code and/or country.
    So anybody can answer me ? Tell me why ? Why without Taiwan users ?
    Best Regards,
    Kevin

    Dear Kevinluh, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    I understand your frustration, however update availability can vary depending on Region and carrier, this is because some regions and carriers may not have signed off the update or have policies preventing the update occuring.
    We hope you understand, please get in touch with your local Nokia Care line for more information regarding the update.
    Regards

  • Reader not showing pdf with long file names in IE8 for standard user

    Hi,
    I have this problem for standard users, that is, not Admin level.  Admin level users have no problems.
    If a web site opens up a pdf file with java, usually in a new window, and the file name is very long (I haven't figured out how long, but visually long) then the reader plug-in won't work and opens a blank page.  If the file name is small then there is no problem, and reader opens the pdf without problem.
    Interestingly, if I edit the document name (say for example the link has something on the end like "&Doc_Type=Statement" which is obviously not part of the document name but part of the SQL used to find the document by the web page) then reader will open the file no problem.
    Again, this doesn't happen for Administrative level users.
    Any ideas on how to fix?

    I'll crosspost to the reader forum.
    Yes, reader works in all other situations.

  • Problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite  I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

    problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite  I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

    "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." ?
    This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
    Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
    If iPhoto  is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

  • I purchased a new Mac Air. I try to update apps and I get this:This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. They do not show up in 'Purchases'.

    I can't update iMovie, Garage Band, Numbers, Pages, Keynote, and iPhoto. on my new Mac Air. 11". I had hoped when I updated to OS X Yosemite that would solve the problem. It didn't. I get this: This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. I went to the app store, as was suggested in someone else's post, using the only ID I've ever had, and went to the purchases tab, to "accept" the apps. That didn't work, because they weren't there to 'accept'. They did come with my purchase, however. Please advise.

    It appears Best Buy is up to their old tricks of palming off returned units as new. Take it back for a complete refund of your money. If they give you any static escalate your problem to management immediately.

  • Macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was cancelled

    macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. 

    I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
    This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
    After making your backup try the following:
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
    Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • When trying to perform updates I get this message. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. What do I do?

    When trying to perform updates I get this message: This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. What do I do? I just bought the MacBook Pro new and migrated my apps from my old MacBook Pro.

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • I cannot update iPhoto as I receive a message saying update not available for this Apple ID as either it was bought by a different user or was cancelled

    I have inherited my daughters Macbook Air and am trying to update i photo. The message I receive is - update not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or item was refunded or cancelled.
    I have tried her ID which was still unsuccessful.
    I cannot access my photos at all. Can anyone help?

    Hi Queenstown2014,
    Sign onto her Apple/iTunes ID in the iTunes Store. Then click on the iTunes ID and then on Account in the dropdown. Once you have her account screen displaying, scroll to the bottom and click on RESET next to the line "Reset All Warnings for Buying and Downloading", then try again (with her iTunes ID still signed on).

  • IPhoto update can't be installed on my MAC ref. "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." this is not possible help?

    Recent upgrade to OS X Yosemite on my MAC and iPhoto update can not  now be installed msg reads, "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." this is not possible help?

    That error message can be misleading. It means, that iPhoto on your Mac is not associated with your Apple ID.
    Either you did not set up  your Mac using the same Apple ID - did someone help with your setup and use a different ID? Perhaps a family member? Or did you let someone borrow your installer disks?
    Or did you not yet "Accept" iPhoto and other iLife apps to your Apple ID? Check the "Purchased" tab of the App Store, if any applications are waiting to be accepted. If you see "Accept" buttons, press them.
    You may  be unable to "Accept" now, if you missed the update to iphoto 9.5.1 on Mavericks. You could try to buy iPhoto, however. If you are lucky, it may show for free.
    Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put it back,if need be.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

    HELP !!!
    Did you upgrade to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 in Mavericks? Then updating to 9.6 may not work - it is buggy at the moment.
    If you already own a version of iPhoto 9.x.x, but cannot update iPhoto, try to buy a new version.  When I look at the AppStore, the price has now changed to "Free", so it should not matter if you buy again or update.
    Delete iPhoto from Applications, but do not empty the Trash.
    Go to the first page of the App Store and sign in with your AppleID.
    Search for "iPhoto" using the Search field.
    What does the button below the iPhoto icon show? If it is showing "Free" like for me, click "free" to purchase again.
