GPO User settings not changing IE 8 settings windows 7

Good Afternoon,
We have several IE 8 settings that need to be adjusted for a particular application. We have them configured in a IE GPO. I have enabled and linked this IE GPO to the top child domain level, xxx.xxxroot.com. I ran a gpupdate on the enduser's pc. I have verified
that the GPO does get applied by gpresult in the User Configuration. When I check the IE settings, none of them have been adjusted.
How do I get IE settings applied via a GPO?
Thank You
Debra Hodgkins

Hi，
In addition to the point mentioned by Gbillig, please also pay attention to the GPO Priority, Local GPO, site, domain and OU, local GPO is processed first, see this link

Why does my home user name not change when I created a new administrator

why does my home user name not change in finder when I created a new administrator?

Because you need to be logged into that account to have a different home username.

Java daemon on boot: "This user is not allowed access to the window system right now."

The daemon is located in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and launches successfully on most occasions. However, it sometimes fails to start with this error:
Nov 17 20:36:24 server.local java[28972]: This user is not allowed access to the window system right now.
Nov 17 20:36:24 server com.apple.launchd[1] (net.java.server): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
I have the server command running as a background daemon using its "nogui" option (the developers claim to have written it to not display a gui). However, it seems that somewhere along the line, Java is trying to display something. As the daemon is running before users log in, it gives this error. Once a user is logged in to the system, it runs fine; however, logging in a user to run the server is not an option. It needs to run on boot.
Any ideas for how to solve this? I'm going to contact the developers to see if it may be something they can fix, but I want to be able to force the issue in case the problem ever occurs in the future.

Irrespective of any claims by the developer, this certainly appears to be a test case that shows that the tool is not working as expected, and that the application has a bug. This test case would be better if there was some evidence around why only some of the startups fail, but in general this will involve what's been suggested earlier: "Contact the application developer."
As some general background on what's involved, see daemons and agents and related; processes that are not allowed to connect to the GUI for reasons of security.
I'd also suggest testing your DNS, as seeing "server.local" can imply local DNS configuration errors. Launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless diagnostic command and see if it reports no changes, or if it detects network or DNS errors:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
If this is OS X Server and a NAT'd network, you do not want to reference any DNS servers located off of your NAT'd network.
Why DNS? Because DNS errors can cause only some operations to fail, particularly if there's more than one DNS server selected (and where some subset of the DNS servers are malfunctioning or misconfigured).

Cursor does not change for pop-up window

I created a link for a pop-up window. The link does work, but the cursor does not change to a pointy finger, the standard link icon.
I don't know a lot of javascript, but can figure it out if it's just adding some code. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the code:
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
Thanks in advance.

Hi Todd,
i got the same problem.(cursor not change for pop-up windows) and because i m not an expert in internal html code i did try several solutions to fix it.
The easiest (but also even longer if u need to do severals) is to create a button (withs 2 overflight changing pics) with "inserer", "image survolée"
the "image survolée" can be linked to a pop-up window with the correct effect. To do so highlight the "expected new link to" and on right side task bar ad a "comportement" named "ouvrir la fenetre du navigateur" and optionally choose the size and windows available function of the pop-up. It works even if u need to proceed first with an overflight changing button.
The result is longer to obtain and not absolutely perfect. So I guess it s only an help solution for a single mateer. i would be glad to get another solution with a text link rather than using the overflight button system. Technically it should be better, more efficient and faster to proceed with applying an html code that really makes the text appearing as a classic link to a new windows whatever pop up or full size window. Please let me know if u get further answer to fix this problem.
Many thx and excuse my technical english translation about DreamCs4

Safari 5.1 will not change my privacy settings without quitting and restarting the browser.

I have installed Safari 5.1. When I attempt to change the block cookies setting in the privacy preferences, the browser will not change the settings until I quit and restart the browser.

Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left.
Open the Library folder then the Cookies folder.
Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

User logins not acting according to settings

I have 5 user accounts on the family Mac. We are running 10.3.9.
Login is setup to require passwords for each account. Automatic login is disabled across the board..."Automatically login as..." in the Accounts login options is unchecked, and "Disable automatic login" in the Security preferences pane is checked. Fast User Switching is enabled.
However...two of the five user accounts will still automatically login when you click on their names in the login window. To confound matters, if I were to use FUS to jump to one of the two accounts in question, I DO get a login prompt (as it should be)
I tried setting new passwords for the accounts (as Admin in the Accounts panel) but, even though, under limitations, they do not have the ability to change their passwords, I still get an error saying the users must change their passwords using their Keychain utility. ?????
To say the least, this has me stumped.
I had to have the tech at my Apple store do an archive and install last week, and I wonder if something didn't get buggered when they restored the user accounts. In any case, if anyone has an idea where I should be digging to find a fix, I'd very appreciative.
Thanks,
Jim

Thorzdad:
*You have 5 user accounts.
*One of the accounts is an Admin Account, the rest are Standare/Limited
*You have disabled automatic login
*Users need passwords to login
*Fast User Switching is checked
Now if I have all of that right here is what I suggest:
*Create a sixth account and make it an Admin Account. Set a password you will remember, as this will be the key to your computer System. This account will be used only for administering the computer. Whenever authentication is needed a login screen will popup for you to enter your User Name and Password.
*Go to the Apple Menu and log out this new admin account.
*Log in to old Admin account.
*Uncheck "Allow user to administer..." You have now made your account a Standard/Limited account as the rest of the family.
*Now authenticate and go back and reset all the Login Options/security measures you had in place as listed above: uncheck automatic login, display login as...(I suggest name and password--this way the login screen will consist of two blank fields in which the user will enter his/her name and password), enable fast user switching
*Reset and create new passwords for all Standard/Limited users.
Hopefully this will not change itself. You now have a computer on which not even you can inadvertently install anything.
Hope this is helpful.
Good luck.

Web camera application settings not changing

My webcam settings stopped working. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Satellite C55-A5310. It worked fine and a few days ago the settings stopped working. I click mirror or flip and none of them work. The settings for colors don't work as well. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. How do I fix this and what is the link for checking the drivers for it?

If your computer is less than a year old I'd suggest contacting Toshiba Support as it is still under warranty.
You say you restored your computer. Did you restore it to out-of-box state, or use a restore point?
I agree with you in that cannot locate the web cam driver on your support site. Again, I'd contact Toshiba support and ask them where the driver/app is for your camera.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You cannot force BIS to connect as POP or IMAP -- rather, it picks the best it finds on the server you specify. To use a different service, your provider needs to configure POP and IMAP on separate servers. You cannot override how it configures.

Sequence settings not compatible with compression settings?

My sequence preset setting in FCP is HDV 1440x1080. When I drop footage shot with an HDV camera into the timeline, that is the setting that it wants to match clips to. However, when I export using Compressor, and then import the compressed files into DVD Studio Pro, the final result does not fit the SD frame, and my DVDs get cut off around the edges on some televisions. How can I compress so that it will fit SD? If I change the sequence settings in FCP to 1280X1080 it seems to fit fine after compression, but then all my clips have to be rendered, which takes hours. Is there a standard setting for SD after compression? thanks

Not sure if I understood you correctly but if you want a project shot in HDV on a SD DVD here is what you do:
Export your sequence via quicktime into a clip in HDV (export same as sequence settings)
import this HD clip into FCP
create a new sequence in DV (4:3 or 16:9, whatever you need)
drop the HD clip into the timeline
raise the master level in the mixer by 6db (otherwise your sound on the DVD will be low)
export the SD clip
use the compressor to convert the exported SD clip into DVD files
Theoretically you can also do all of this directly with compressor from the original HDV timeline - except it takes forever and I never could get it to work properly

GINA does not change ESSOPR Client in Windows XP

Hello friends, I am evaluating the ESSO version 11.1.1.5 and when I install the Client ESSOPR the workstation does not change the GINA to make use of this functionality.
I can help, please

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Email authentication failure, password/server settings NOT changed

Scenario: I've been using Thunderbird for years now to connect to Verizon and download my email. Server settings have always been:
POP3
incoming.verizon.net port 110
connection security none
authentication method encrypted password
SMTP
outgoing.verizon.net port 25
connection security none
authentication method password, transmitted insecurely (oops)
Suddenly when I try to get my email, it stops and tells me there's an authentication failure. I've seen this happen before with Verizon when a server is down or messed up or whatever (pretty poor message for a service interruption, but whatev). So I decided to wait it out, but when it didn't clear up after several hours, went to the website where I was able to log in (huh?) and decided to change my password for the hell of it. Guess what? New password doesn't work in the email client. Quelle surprise.
Sooo, I find THIS page (https://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/internet/highspeed/email/setup+and+use/questionsone/86...) which tells me a lot of malarkey about server settings. I tried changing the incoming to their recommended settings, and it looks like there's no server communications a-tall.
Can someone tell me what's amiss, and while you're at it, tell me where in a just and well-ordered universe a service provider changes server settings without notifying users well in advance? Extra points for creativity.

These are the new settings and they do work in Thunderbird.
Mail server settings
Incoming mail server (POP3)      pop.verizon.net
Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
Outgoing mail server (SMTP)       smtp.verizon.net
Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465
Connection security:   SSL/TLS      for POP & SMTP
The change you are probably missing as it wasn't on that page:
Make sure your Authentication method is set to "Normal password" for POP & SMTP

Cannot receive email. No issues with sending. Settings not changed. Help?

Nothing has changed with my email settings and I can successfully log in through webmail. I can send messages through Thunderbird but cannot receive anything. My account is not over its allotted size, so it isn't a space issue. Please help.

Maybe you need to change something to match a change your provider made.
Successfully logging into your account on the webmail page just confirms that you know your username and password. The webmail and POP or IMAP servers are two completely different things.
Do you get any kind of error message?
Get a current list of server settings from your provider and compare those with what you have in Thunderbird to see if you need to change anything.

Feature request - 'shadow' settings for changing locked VM settings

I have a possible idea for you that I know I would find helpful. I understand that certain VM settings can't be changed while the VM is running. I would love to be able to make the change so that next time the VM restarts, it can first have those settings
changed for me before starting up again. That way, I could make the change (although it would tell me it couldn't be changed right now), and schedule the computer to restart sometime overnight, so that I don't have to either a) get up at 3am to do it manually
or b)work out what powershell command to run which would shut the machine down, make the changes, then start it up again - and hope that I'd done it correctly :-)
I hope this is a useful feature request. Generally very happy with all the improvements you keep making, thanks.
(I didn't find anywhere else I could submit a feature request, so I hope this gets to someone that can use it.)

I like that as a feature for those who manage via GUI. It would be possible to create script to accomplish the same thing and then schedule the script for execution later. But for GUI users, it makes sense to me.
I think the forums would be a good place for putting feature suggestions. It could easily be a Sticky post that would always appear at the top of the forum. Anyone with an idea for a new feature could add a post to the Stickey post, and
Microsoft PM's could just read that Sticky post from time to time. And, the built in Vote capability would allow other forum readers/contributors the ability to vote on it if they like it. It would be a useful Sticky post on any product forum.
