Flashing Finder on one of user accounts

One of my user accounts has a finder problem. It keeps flashing on- off-on-off along with everything on desktop. Any input on how to resolve would be apprecitive.

Try it when logged into the bad account, which might be tricky. Alternatively, log into an admin account, delete the bad one, selecting the *save data* option (creates a disk image of the account in /Users/Deleted Users/), recreate the account using the same username/password combo, log into it, and see if the problem's gone. If so, mount the saved data image and slowly merge the stuff back. See my posts for steps for resolving conflicts/corrupt plists at:

Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
Thanks!

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

I'm on an imac running mountain lion. I know it has air drop on it, but it's not showing up in the finder window for my user account. How can I get it to show up on my user account? And yes, I do have administrator rights.

Flash player only works for user account installed with

Hi all
I've different user accounts on my PC for me and my son.
Somehow Flash Player 10 only works for the user account I installed Flash player with.
In case I install it using my account it will not work for my son's account and vice versa.
How can I solve this?
Thanks
Mario

I've struggled with this for a long time. Here is what I've come up with.
Adobe tech support recommended this:
1. Log in as Admin
2. Download the following zip file from here:
www.supportflash.com/reset_all.zip
3. Unzip this folder onto your desktop.
4. Drag both files ‘reset_min_all.cmd’ and
‘subinacl.exe’ to your
desktop.
5. Run the reset_min_all.cmd file.
6. It will open a DOS like terminal and start
running through registry
keys.
7. When it is finished it will say “press any key
to continue”.
8. At this point you can install the latest Flash
Player:
for Internet Explorer:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_F
lash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
other browsers:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
9. Check that Flash Player is working for the
Admin.
10. Check that Flash Player is working as the
other 2 users.
I hope this information helps. Feel free to reply
if you need further
assistance on the issue discussed here or file
a new case if you want to
report a new issue in the Support Portal:

I can't recall whether I had to run this in each account or not. It somewhat worked for me. If the accounts were all set up as admin accounts, flash worked in all the accounts after that. If one account was admin and the rest were limitied (I'm running xp home) it wouldn't work in the limited account.
I gave up and reverted back to flash player 9 via NOrton go back
It must be a permissons issue of some sort. I just don't have the patience to figure it out.
Good Luck,
Let us know what you figure out

Moving itunes account from one windows user account to another....

Hello! I really hope some one here can help!
I use one of two user accounts on my comp, my boyfriend is the "owner" and I have my own. For separate itunes accounts .... Something is messed up with my profile on this user account and an IT friend told me he thinks that I should just delete my whole profile from the OWNER one and start over, saving anything i need beforehand.
I was about to do that until I realised that my Itunes account would also be gone.
Is there any way that I can transfer my itunes account to another user account on my computer without losing everything and having to start over???
Pllllease & thank you!!!

Well, if all of the music is in My Music\iTunes, then just copy that folder.
If it isn't:
If it's in a shared location, such as the root of the drive, and both account are accessing it, then ignore the music, and transfer just the 'iTunes' folder within My Music.
If it's in an account specific location (like on your desktop), first consolidate it to your My Music, then transfer that folder.

Two Ipods - one computer - user accounts?

I have just gotten a second Ipod for my husband. I have read the article about using two Ipods with one PC - and want to use the two user accounts as my husband already has a separate account on the pc. Do I have to download a separate copy of Itunes using his account, or can I use the install of Itunes that I am already using through my user profile?

Make sure u are not connecting more than 1 ipod at any given time to the Computer

Why does Flash not work with multiple user-accounts on a single PC?

Running XP-Professional (MediaCenter), SP3 and using IE 8, NIS 2010 (disabled during the installation of FP), 3 different user accounts on a single PC
As user A (admin) installed FP ver. 10.0.45.2, and it works fine under the admin account, however, when logging-on as user B. FP is not recognized (?) and user B is asked to intall FP agian, however, the installation fails.
After removing the FP installation (as being user A) and then install FP as user B (who has also admin rights) , FP works fine for user B, however for user A, FP is not installed/recoginzed (?), and user A is being asked to install FP, however that installation the fails, and so on and so on , . . . . .
Any suggestion to resolve this irritating behaviour?

Macbook pro seems not to be shut down normally after adding one more user account

after i have created a new user account and i tried to shut it down, it does not appear a white background on the screen to let me know if the pc was in the process. After few second the screen becomes black and it shuts down.
I tried to turn on the pc and it works normally but when i shuts my pc down, the same problem appears.
I have already delected one user account but the problem still appears.
I am not sure is it ok or not?
i am a new user to apple product.

I experienced the same problem. What I noticed that problem seems to occur more often when bluetooth is switched on. For instance, today I wanted to switch off bluetooth connectivity before switching off laptop completely. The bluetooth icon in menu bar from some strange reason froze completely, rest of programs and OS were working fine. When I wanted to switch off the laptop it happened again, it froze and the only way to switch it off was to hold power button.

Automatic downloads only works with one Mac user account, can I get help?

I have three user accounts on my iMac, and I set up iTunes Automatic downloading on my iTunes account on my iMac user account. Then I went to set up my brothers iTunes automatic download on his iMac user account but it said the computer was already in use, and gave me options like transfer or cancel. Just to clarify this was an attempt with one iMac two user accounts and two separate iTunes accounts.

It appears we are all having the same issue, and for themost part talking about the same thing, but to reiterate:
1) One (1) computer, to help distinguish the devices letscall it an iMac
2) Two (2) or more distinct User ID’s on said iMac with fullAdmin permissions
3) Each distinct User ID on the iMac has a distinct Apple IDwith an associated iTunes and iCloud account
4) For every User ID / Apple ID there is a separate personwith their own iDevice
5) None of the iTunes accounts, iDevices or Apple ID’s arecross sync’d
5) (a) Forexample, Person 1 does not share apps, etc. with Person 2’s iTunes account. Weare assuming everyone distinct Apple ID / iDevice buys its own App’s, musicetc.
6) Only one (1) of the iMac User ID’s and that User ID’sassociated iTunes and iCloud account can have auto-download and iCloud servicesactivated at any one time.
6) (a) Just to be redundantly clear,that means that every other User ID / iTunes – iCloud ID/ iDevice CANNOTauto-download or sync to iCloud
Somewhat reformed PC guy here (wife is a life long Macuser), but all I can say is are you (*&^%$%^&* kidding me?
If I wanted these problems, and didn’t care about aestheticsor battery life, I would have stuck with Win-crap / Android for 50% or less ofthe cost.
Besides my preference for the Win-Devil UI (I know, I know…)I cannot believe after spending more than $4,500 on iFleecing this summer I amstill having issues like this (Mac Air, iMac, iPhone 4- two and the buy-out oftwo cell contracts).
Granted, when I plug something in, it works… the way Stevethinks I should want it to function.
In the hopes of avoiding some iFlogging by my fellow usershere, I concede the superiority, in every conceivable way, of all of thehardware and even like the MS Office suite in Mac better (at least not less). Ihave no intention of going back to the Win-Devil (don’t even run an emulator oneither computer), but this is a Windows-like screw-up.

One phone, sync photos to one Mac user account, iTunes to another?

My laptop has two User accounts, one for me and one for my wife. My wife's iPhone syncs with the iTunes on my user account. However, she would like her iPhone's photos to sync to the iPhoto on her user account.
Is there a way to do this? If we connect her iPhone while her user account is open, it wants to erase all of her iTunes music.

Just use My Photo Stream in iPhoto to sync the photos from her iPhone to iPhoto.

All Creative Cloud & programs on one Mac user account

Hey,
I'm wanting to make an account on my mac only for design work, I'm hoping you can give me some advice on the best way to make it and set it all up. I don't want any of the programs on the other account I want my normal user completely separate from my design user. I've given it a try, currently the creative could icon is at the top of both accounts and the programs are across both accounts too. Any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Odds are that the permissions are locked for certain folders associated with the user account under which Premiere crashes. This is typically the result of migrating user accounts when upgrading OS X.

HT4314 We have one appleid user account and have created two game center logins, but can now only access one...any idea how to be able to access the other

We have one appleid and have created two game center login names under that one apple id. now we can only access one of the logins. does anyone know how to get to the other account

This is to avoid piracy. What could happen is, people could buy music, and give it away for free online. Usually it is then you buy a complete album off iTunes that it will only be available on one device. It is tied to that account, and the device must be registered to that account to listen to it.

How do I find my original setup user account photo?

Hello,
I am new to the Mac world and I have a question that I cannot find anywhere on Google. The other day while setting up my new 13"MBP, it prompted me to take a photo that would serve as my user photo for when I sign in... Today it somehow got changed and now I cannot find that original photo from setup... does anyone know where I can find it?? It is not in my iPhoto or Photo Booth libraries..
Thank you!!!

Im not quite sure where to find HD.... I do not have that option under iDisk under devices in my Finder tab like I have seen on other screenshots...do you think it could be the Lion software?
The Hard Drive should show on your desktop, usually up in the top right hand corner. Double click on it and a window will open.
Who said anything about iDisk?
No, I don't think it's an issue with the Lion software.

I have multpulpe Firefox profiles on one windows user account, how do I move a bookmark folder to a different Firefox profile on the same windows user account?

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1015870 /questions/1015870]''
I'm trying to organize my different Firefox profiles like into profiles such as, Jeep Stuff, Shopping, things to build, computers, ect. So how can I move a bookmark folder to an other Firefox profile bookmark bar. Or how can I move all my bookmarks into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

Works on one Vista User Account But not another

My itunes 8 won't connect to the itunes store on my main vista account.
But on the same computer, new account made... it works!!
What's Up? I dunno.. am puzzled by this, and am not a computer idiot by any means.

nope. am on an administrator account. made a seperate "iTunes" administrator account and itunes works fine there.
on this account.. it says it cannot connect to the network. Diagnostic test on itunes says all connections are good tho.?!?!? Have tried turning off the firewall etc.
think i need to do a fresh install, but itunes seems to have some sort of "memory" even if i uninstall all of what i can see!
