Guest user not working at all (Mavericks Ver.10.9.4)

I am currently using a 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4.
I'm having an annoying problem regarding the guest user, I just can't seem to get it to work. I got to User and Groups in the System Preferences, check the box "Allow guests to log in to this computer" and it doesn't work. I've tried turning it off, restarting my computer, then turning it back on and yet the guest account still doesn't show up in the login page or in the faster user switching menu. It's crazy how there's barely any information on how to fix this. I've searched google and the only results are how to enable guest user or how to get rid of it, nothing pops up on that the guest user is not working so I've come to the Mac community to see if I can get any help here. I have updated everything in my software update by the way.

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.
Let me know how you get on?

Guest SSID not working

Hi all, im trying to configure the MSM760 to work with Guest SSID via HTML authentication.im facing the problem that i can get IP address, i can ping to outside, but i cant open anything in the broswer, it seems there is DNS resolving issue.anyway.i have disconnected this controller from teaming yesterday, and the team works with two SSID's1. NPS SSID which is used for Domain users authentication2. HTML uses authentication the NPS SSID was always ok, but the Guest was not working, and as i understand from some reading in here that the Guest SSID will not work properly in Teaming.so i disconnected this Controller and and changed the management IP address to new range. and started to test but i didnt get success with browsing.also the NPS authentication on it stopped and i cant get it to work. any advice? thanks in advance.

FYI this is for HP wireless product and networking not support another company product. For that you need to go to their support site and ask for further help from them.

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?
I know how to use about:config & have had the usual problems with newtab page tiles but this is more like a bug- using 33.0.1. Doesn't show tiles icon in top right corner just shows a gear that is used to hide the empty tiles that I can't fill with sites. First it would only show 2 rows of 4 columns even though I had it set to 5 & 6 then few days later for no reason they went empty with a serrated line around the tiles & can't drag from the bookmarks---- really bloody annoying!!!!!!! Possibly a setting in the about:config but i can't fig it out?

Tried downloading itunes version 11.4 and received an error code 2324. Now itunes will not work at all and I cannot sync my phone, ipad or ipod. How should I proceed?

I have tried several times to load version 11.4 and keep getting an error code2324, now I cannot sync any of my apple products. I set my machine to a previous recover date, now iTunes will not work at all. I get a message stating I do not have the administrator rights to download. Any thoughts on this issue?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Since I have upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1, it has been constantly freezing up. Now it does not work at all and I am unable to remove my profile. How can I remove my profile if Firefox does not work?

I finally got so tired of Firefox freezing my computer that I tried to uninstall and reinstall. Upon reinstall, it will not work at all and I am unable to delete my old user profile. Is there any way to get rid of this profile so I can give one last attempt to get Firefox to work before switching permanently to Google Chrome? I really liked Firefox for years until they screwed it up with the recent changes.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Acrobat Pro XI not working at all in Windows7 64bit - tried everything

I am using Acrobat Pro XI not working at all in Windows7 64bit - tried everything. About a month ago I built new computer. Acrobat worked fine. In last week it started not producing PDFs using Save As and would crash when processing scanned document. So I redownloaded exe file, used the acrocleaner to erase existing program, and reloaded Acrobat Pro XI.
No the program will not start at all. Freezes when opening by clicking PDF file or by opening program icon.

Hi dufflebag123,

> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

S60 v3 fp2 destinations not working in all applica...

hi all
I have an n79 and i have noticed that the new access point prioritization using the destinations feature in s60 v3fp2 does not work in all the device applications. e.g. the share online app does not see the internet destination but my access points (3G, WLAn...) so I need to manually select the access point. Is this an n79 bug?
rrgards

I too am frustrated by this.
It works great with new apps (such as the internal Web Browser).
*some* other apps seem to show a "default" access point, which actually uses the "destination" group you "mark as default" in the connectivity menu
both these are great.
Then there's other apps which only show individual APs and no "default".
I struggle to see why the implementation couldn't have made a virtual AP available via the "old" interface (for old apps). There are already 3rd party apps that do this, including many VPN clients as well as "psiloc connect" (see http://connect.psiloc.com/ ) -- but sadly that isn't available on FP2.
There's so much about the N96 that's "nearly there" but so frequently is let down by a lack of consideration of the end user experience. Examples include
- battery life (could have been 30-40% more for the sake of ~1mm)
- Access points (as above)
- removal of wifi client
- sluggishness of response

Like my computer will make a dadunk noise when I connect my Blackberry via USB cable but it won't register that my blackberry is connected.

I am also using AT&T please help.
All I want to do is be able to connect it to my computer and upload themes and whatever else I want to the phone. But it isn't working

Do you have Desktop Manager loaded to your PC? You mentioned device manager, but I would recommed Desktop Manager ver 4.7
Download Desktop Manager from here:
