Firefox wont open using another user account on same computer

Firefox doesn't continue opening in one user account. I have four users using in the computer and firefox works okay with all the 3. It just states that loading has stopped.

As it is only a problem for one user, there is likely to be a problem with the profile folder for that user. The profile folder is where user data is stored.
Try creating a new profile for that user, for details of how to do that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
If the new profile works, you can selectively copy user data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details of the files to copy see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

  • Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up

    Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

    Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur?  If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
    Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11?  This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.

  • Failing to create an email with outlook interop when outlook has been opened by another user account

    Hello
    I have an addin that customizes the excel ribbon. I added a button so that when the user clicks it, a new outlook message windows pops up with some default information on the email body, CCs, etc.
    The problem is that if outlook is already running and it's running under another user account different from the one that was used to open excel (e.g. after opening excel i open outlook with shift + right click and then "Run As..."); i get an exception upon
    instantiating the outlook interop object:
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
    The exception message reads:
    Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)).
    What can i do to prevent this issue from happening?
    Thanks

    In that situation I would test first for an existing Outlook process running and hook into it if it is running. If it's not running then I'd use new to create an Outlook session. There can only be one Outlook session running
    at a time.
    This sort of code will do the trick for you I think:
    System.Diagnostics.Process[] processes = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("OUTLOOK");
    int collCount = processes.Length;
    if (collCount != 0)
    // Outlook already running, hook into the Outlook instance
    outlookApp = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application")
    as Outlook.Application;
    An else there would create a new Outlook.Application object.

  • Open another itunes account on same computer

    First i set up another user account on the same mac and then have my own separate itunes.  Then after transfering my song library to the new account, will the songs that i purchase from that point on be automatically placed in both libraries on different computers?

    No.
    Different computers? You only copied the files to a different login acount on the same computer.
    You need to copy the files to the other computer.

  • Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

    With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
    But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
    So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
    How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

    Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
    Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
    The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
    Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
    Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
    Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
    Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
    If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
    When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
    It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
    Post back and inform us of your success.

  • Sharing iTunes library with another user on the same computer

    My husband and I use the same iMac and have the same iTunes login, but have different user accounts on our computer.
    When I download things from iTunes, they only show up in my library and do not show up in his. In addition, the two libraries are not syncing. I want everything in my library to also be in his.
    I have tried home sharing, and that is not working. I'm guessing that's because the two accounts are on the same computer -- rather than two computers on the same network. The only thing I can figure out is to manually drop the files in the shared folder. But it has to be easier than this.
    Please help.

    I typed "Share itunes library" into the search bar at the top of this screen by "Support" and found this:

  • Share address book between different user accounts on same computer

    my wife and i share one computer, but just started to use separate user accounts to keep our mail accounts separate. all our addresses are stored in the address book on my user account. is there a way to share that account with her so that she has access to all the addresses. this would be much easier that have 2 address books to keep updated.
    i do have a .mac account and i have only activated one email address.

    thanks for your response andrew. i've tried that but address book asks for the .mac name of the person you want to share with. i don't have a family pack .mac subscription only a single one. so would setting up an email alias for my wife accomplish this? is there a way to do this bypassing .mac all together simply because we're using the same computer?

  • How do I share a playlist from my itunes library with another user on the same computer?

    I would like to share a playlist with another uuser on the same computer.  We have separate itunes libraries on the same computer. How do gey my playlist from my library to hers?

    I'm not sure, but maybe if you activate home sharing. It should also share playlists, not only files.
    The only other way I can think of is to export the playlist and import for the other user.

  • Movie wont play in another user account

    Hi ... why would a movie play fine in my account but not in my wifes ...message "Cannot open this file" or something ... any thoughts please .... best Roger

    Thanks quicktimekirk ... well yes it makes sense but ... so i download a QT movie ... do I then need to find out what codec was used ... and how do i do that please ... and then i guess if it plays in my account I can assume that my account has the codec ... then I have to find that codec and copy it into every other user account ... so to take it to an extreme if there are several dozen possible codecs and several dozen different user accounts I could spend my life copying and pasting codecs ... this seems nonsense .... why isn't it possible for the fundamental bits be installed in all user accounts by default and if that's NOT what you want tick a box to exclude some users ... but if that's the way it is something must be wrong. It can't be that difficult. I'm in the broadcast design business and I downloaded someones "Showreel" ... another account can't watch this movie ?.... wierd ! Thanks as ever for your time though .... regards Roger

  • Can an iWeb built site be opened by another user on the same machine?

    I use my Mac in English and in Japanese(GF) I just added iWeb 08 and so far I`m struggling to understand why I cant open the site I built with one user account on another??? Can you actually open a project in progress?
    Its easier for me to navigate and build with iWeb in English but I need our site to have Japanese as well, so am I forced to build only in Japanese? or can I open a site built with iWeb on another account.
    Are they just keeping things proprietary so we cant open sites built with other programs?
    I`m new to all this so any feedback or questions for clarifying my issue are welcome.
    p.s. I LOVE MY MAC

    Thanks for the info Roddy,
    I found the file and was able to open the file with the other user, but I was unable to save it. It says that I dont have permission to make changes. I checked the original file in the other user and the permission was set to read/write, and when I copied it over to the other account it still said permission-read/write. But it would not allow me to save. The file size is 2.7 Mb so I figure all images and little things are there.
    I thought there might be a file conflict with the original site being built so I cleared the domain file and trashed it. Now when I launch iWeb with that 2nd account it still loads that copied over file and wont let me save. I added a new site and removed the copied part but still dont have permission.
    To sum it all up, I have lost the saving capabilities of iWeb on the 2nd account and I dont know how to start from scratch. Of course reinstalling is always an
    option but a hassle!
    After scratching my head for 30 minutes I realized the solution to my problem.
    I created a new user"website" in English and built a few pages, then save. Change my default language to Japanese and logout and back in, now iWeb will open in Japanese under the same account. All is good!
    but as I said, My GF's iWeb soesnt work now:( ant ideas?
    Thanks for the quick reply before!

  • I cannot import my photos to iPhoto but can using another user sharing the same library.

    I am trying to import my photos on my main user account on my iMac to iPhoto 11.  I am running Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
    When I try to upload using my main user account it will not upload the photos.  It gives an error message "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.  I also get urecognised file format from my Cannon SLR.  The crazy thing is, I share the same library with my wifes user account on the same Mac and the images upload without any issues.  I can see them in my user account but when I try to open the landscape files I get an exclamation mark on a black background.
    Any help with this will be appreciated.

    The exclamation mark means that iPhoto has lost/broken the file path to the original/master file. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to reair the library:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I share my iTunes library with another user on the same computer?

    I trired to follow the instructions provided by I-Tunes which was to move the ITunes media library to the shared section, however, the computer will not allow me to do this.  When I drag the file to the shared section, it will only allow me to drop it into the Airport.  I tried hovering it over the "shared" title but it's not working.
    Is there another solution?

    Hello Kathy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to move your iTunes Library. 
    It sounds like you may be trying to move it to the "Shared" titled on the Finder Sidebar.  When you see "Shared" in the Finder Sidebar, this is just a title and not an actual folder. 
    I recommend moving your iTunes Library to either the "Public" folder in your user accoung to the "Shared" folder listed in the Users folder.  You can access the Shared folder by clicking Go at the top of the screen with Finder open, and selecting Computer>Macintosh HD>Users>Shared:
    Drag the iTunes Media folder to a public location. For example, you could move it to the Public folder in your Home folder (~/Public) or to a location outside your Home folder that other users can access (/Users/Shared).
    Important: Don't move the iTunes folder, the iTunes library file, or the iTunes library.xml file.

  • Migrating user account on same computer?

    I thought I'd be able to find the answer to this just by searching the forum, but everything related to what I wish to do seems to be talked about in terms of one computer to another. However I wish to migrate from one account on my computer to a fresh one on the same computer, which seems like it would be simple, but I've been unable to figure it out on my own.
    The background is this: my G5 being four years old, my main user account that I have been using all this time has become a bit "sluggish." I created a new account and there is a marked difference between their responsiveness, both system-wide and on-line, so instead of troubleshooting what is bogging down the old account I thought I would just migrate over to the new one. Also, I was running the old account as admin, which I understand is not advisable, so I figured I would keep the old account for admin purposes while performing my day-to-day activities in the new account.
    I was surprised to find that there is no way for me to easily access all my files on my old account from my new account (read and write) simply by changing a global permission. This would have been the "ideal" way for me to make this adjustment, as it really wouldn't matter which of these two accounts I logged in from, everything would be the same. Am I missing something here?
    Barring a solution to that, I don't necessarily mind "starting fresh" and basically treating the accounts as separate computers. Address Book and iCal should be easy enough to export from the old account and import into the new account. Mail on my old account has grown huge (4GB) so I was planning to archive anyway with 3rd party software and start from scratch. The files I'm currently working on I will copy over, and then I guess anything prior that I need to refer to in the future I will just have to log in to the old account and copy over piecemeal. (Is there another way, other than simply copying 100% of my files from the get-go?)
    If I'm understanding all of the above correctly, my only concerns are:
    1) Applications. When I launch 3rd party apps that require registration from the new account, some seem to be having some issues. Would copying the "Application Support" folder from my old account solve this, or will I only be able to use these apps from one account on my computer at a time?
    2) iTunes, specifically as regards my iPhone. Will I need to log into my old account each time I wish to sync with my iPhone? Is there any way that by instead syncing with the new account that I can mess things up and cause my phone or my apps to be de-authorized?
    Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can give here. I hope I am not going about all this backwards and should rather just be trying to "clean up" the old account rather than make a new one to "mimic" it?
    Thank you,
    Josh

    I recommend making a full backup of your system before trying this.
    read the above post of mine for finding out the short user name of your second account and group name of your first account.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Net Info Manager
    You can use the net info manager to add a user to the group. although I think the single command is easier to use. You can copy the first portion into terminal and type in the variable and information.
    Here is the Net Info Manager way:
    in the middle column click on groups. this will bring out the list of groups. Scroll down to your group from your first userid and click on at.
    Click on the lot on the lower left-hand corner of the screen. Fill in your administrator password.
    Click on the down triangle for the list of groups.
    Click on edit: add
    fill in your group name.
    Mac OS X uses Unix permissions.
    You will need to use BatChmod to change the permissions. Mac OS X doesn't let you change the permission to let others look in directories -- this is called the execution permission. The picture directory doesn't let others look at its files. You need to change this. You need to set the read-only and the execution permissions. And change it on group and other/everyone.
    !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/3180927160_fabd018171.jpg?v=0!
    Sometimes things are not updated as you would expect. I noticed that the Red minus bar on a folder doesn't go way when I changed the permissions. I had to log off the user. You may want to be boot after changing the execution permission. It shouldn't be necessary.
    "BatChmod is a Cocoa utility for manipulating file and folder privileges in Mac OS X. It allows the manipulation of ownership as well as the privileges associated to the Owner, Group or others."

    debate
    You can use the get info command to find out file permissions and make the changes.
    Click on the file of interest. Press command i (⌘-i)
    Each file has an owning user and a group of users that are allowed to access the file. Also, there is a another access for all users. The owning user is the UID field. The group of users is the GID.
    You could add yourself to your first Group. This would allow you to look at any file your wife owns.
    The NetInfo Manager application allows you to make this change.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> NetInfo Manager
    In the middle column is the function. Pick users in the middle column then select the user of interest in the right column. Find out what group you and your wife are in.
    Now go back to the middle column and pick the Group. Now pick your wife's group. Now add your group to your wife's group. To add an item to a group, you need to look up and find the pulldown called directory > insert value.
