How do I get a game to work in more than just my account?

I bought a game for my son at the weekend, which I installed successfully and it works fine in my account. But despite having it selected in Parental Controls, it won't work in his account. I tried removing all controls for him, but it still didn't work. The icon for the program looks like the general Apple icon, with ruler, brush, and pencil, and when you click on it a message appears saying "You cannot open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete". Well this isn't true, because it works in my account.
I tried searching for info about the error message on the Internet, and found advice on dealing with the message when it appeared with a completely different program. It advised right-clicking on the icon, and clicking on Show Package Contents, then Contents>Mac OS. Then it said double click on the icon (which opens Terminal) in there and next time it should run OK. This didn't work, but I noticed that there was not as much text in the Terminal window in my son's account as in mine, so I wonder if I need to enter the same text for him. This is all getting rather complicated, but does anybody know anything about Terminal, and whether any of this makes sense? Or is there something else I need to do?

Sphinx,
The folder that you copied should already contain any saved games, and they must remain where they are, relative to the game itself.
If you would like the copy to go back into the Applications folder, go right ahead and put it there, replacing the original. As long as you are just moving it, not making a copy, ownership will be retained by your son.
Kiraly has posted a command for use in Terminal. The command he has given does nothing for ownership, but rather changes permissions such that anyone will be able to run the game. The problem with this is that any new saved games will revert to the default permissions, and you will again encounter errors.
It is far better, in my opinion, to manage ownerhip in this case, not permissions.
OK, let's get started. The command to change ownership of any item is rather simple:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">chown <who> <what></pre>
the "who" part will refer to a user by short name, and the "what" part will be the path to a file or folder. So far, we have three elements included in our command, and each one is separated by a space. The problem with this is that we can only modify items that we own; only "root" can modify items regardless of ownership. So, we are more often required to "become root" in order to execute this command:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chown <who> <what></pre>
By preceeding our command with "sudo," we tell the command to execute as the "root user." Only admin users are allowed to perform this action, so we will be asked for our admin password. Once we have typed the command correctly, we press <RETURN>. We will receive a password prompt. We then type our password (it will not be echoed) and again press <RETURN> to execute the command.
This works fine for single files, but we will usually be dealing with more than a single item. Your case is a good example; one where ownership of an entire directory structure, including any "nested" files and folders, must be changed. For this, we need to add an "option" to the command: the "-R" option. This tells the command to change the ownership of the item named in the "path," and then to do the same "recursively" to every file and/or folder nested inside. It also implies that the target is a directory:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chown -R <who> <what></pre>
Let's now talk about the two remaining variables, the "arguments" to the command.... The first argument (the "who" part) requires a bit of discussion. In simple terms, this will be a user's short name. However, it will most often also be necessary to change the "group ownership" when we change ownership. There is a separate command to accomplish this, but we can easily forego the need to use this second command by including it in this one. The tool we must use to do this is the ":" modifier, inlcuded in our "who" argument. In 10.3 and later, all users are members of their own, unique group, so we simply use their short name (which is also their group) twice:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chown -R <who:who> <what></pre>
Now for the final part, the "what" argument... As stated earlier, this will be the path to the intended target (for example, /Users/HOME/Documents/My_Folder). Here, we must discuss the possibility that a path name will include spaces. We can name directories in OS X using spaces, but UNIX needs a little help with them. Since UNIX will normally see any space as an indication that another element to the command is coming, we must explicitly tell it that such is not the case. In other words, we must "escape" the space. We do this by using the forward slash before our space: "\" Let us assume that we have a folder named "My Folder" for which we want to change ownership. Our command will look something like this:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chown -R fred:fred /Users/fred/Documents/My\ Folder</pre>
Obviously, the above command also assumes that we are logged in as "fred," and we are giving ourselves ownership of a folder in "fred's" HOME folder.
If this path naming convention is daunting to you, or you simply aren't sure of the correct path, the process can be automated somewhat. Any item can be dragged from the Finder into the Terminal window, and Terminal will automatically fill in the correct path. In this case, we would type the first part of our command:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chown -R fred:fred</pre>
Next, we would type a trailing space, and then we would drag our folder from the Finder into the Terminal window. Finally, we would press <RETURN>, enter our admin password, then press <RETURN> again to execute.

In chrome I'm getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads. How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?

I have both safari and chrome, because I'm used to chrome. The only extension I have is Google docs. I started getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads. How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer? People suggest programs to do it, but how do I know they won't make it worse?
Is someone from Apple here and can answer?
Thanks!

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

3rd gen iPod touch. I just get a blank screen (after a few secs of the apple symbol) when it is switched on or when connected for charging. I know the connections are OK. Suggestions/help please

I took the iPod to the local Apple shop. The guy put the iPod onto a docking station and checked it - answer "connections are OK". I have used the link before but have not gone through all its suggestions (although picked on the most relevant ones). I may have to go back. Thanks again for your suggestions

How do i get my ipod touch to download more than one app at a time, can i make it toware i dont have to wait for one app to download before it starts downloading another,

my ipod will only download one app at a time and runs extremely slow. i was wondering if there is some way that i can make it download more than one app at a time and how can i make the app start downloading again after i have left my wi-fi zone and then went back in. im really confused.

Download everything on your computer in iTunes, then sync your iPod to iTunes.
You should be syncing (backing up) to iTunes and your photo app regurally, anyway.

How do i get my Macbook Pro to communicate/link-up with the Apple TV when it's on ?

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a Macbook pro and Apple TV. The apple tv works fine from an i-pad, but i am not sure where on a Pro to go to get it to 'read' the apple tv ?
Would be grateful for any help please......

AppleTV works in several ways.
For material purchased in iTunes you can play it from the internet if your connection is good enough under Movie/TV Show Purchased sections on the unit itself without a computer on.
For material downloaded or added to iTunes library, the best way to play is to Home Share and for apple TV to pull the compatible stream across to play using iTunes as a helper app.
Apple TV cannot play media that is not part of an itunes library (though the media for the itunes library can be stored in several locations) directly, nor can it access network storage to do so.
If you are playing media files which are not part of an iTunes library on a MacBook Pro and want to mirror the screen to the TV you need to use Airplay mirroring on the Mac (if it's new it should be capable, older ones aren't). Some applications will be prevented from mirroring presumably for copyright reasons (eg DVD player app), but VLC may work. You have probably used Airplay or `Airplay mirroring from iPad - I'm not keen on Airplay personally, but I've had AppleTVs since the days when this was never an option and it could only stream or sync from itunes (syncing no longer possible in newer units).

How do I get a home page that shows recent highlights and the news in lieu of Meet Mozilla Foxfire (this comes up each time I open foxfire)

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/919154''
When I downloaded Foxfire the home page came up with "Meet Mozilla Foxfire" then below that it shows "Become a Firefox Expert in 8 Easy Steps". I would like to delete this and in lieu of that show recent highlights and the news. I have no problem with the tool bars they are fine just the home page.

Had the sudden appearence of a "books" folder that contains the Kindle app. How do I get rid of this folder and return to just the Kindle app icon on the screen?

I have an iTouch. I do not remember exactly what happened, but I now have a folder labeled "Books" that contains my Kindle app.
Previously, I simply had the Kindle app on the home screen.
How do I remove the Books folder and return to the previous setup, i.e. just the Kindle app on the home screen?

Is there another app in the folder like the iBooks app? Yu can move two apps together and when they combine and be placed in a folder. Itunes will guess/suggest a folder name and you can change it. If there are tow apps in the folder just go to that folder and touch and hold the an app and after they start wiggling mode one app out side the folder and folder will disappear if there were only two apps in the folder. To stop the wiggling depress the Home button once.

HT2513 is there a way to get more than just the 3 colors (green, orange, purple)

Is there a way to add different colors besides the green, orange, and purple if you have more than 3 things going on in a particular day??
Thanks

The color of an event is dictated by the color of the calendar that it's asigned to.
Click the Calendar button, right click on one of your calendars and choose Get Info.
There you'll find a color drop down menu. If you don't like any of the default color click, click Other and you'll get access to an infinte number of choices.

Earlier todaye I called a cell and it worked fine.I tried to call my home phone and it would not ring yet my Husband tried to answer but I could not hear him. When I dial out it does not ring on my end and when they try to answer answer I can hear them but they can not hear me. Took it to the Bell dealer in the Mall at Kindersley Sask. and they put a new card in and no different.At that time it was still coming on and now it will not.have not had this phone very long and I am not impressed. The people I bought it from phoned and they told him to reset it but now it will not come on and the battery is not dead. Can I take it back to the dealer
I bought it from and have him replace it? I do not want to have to wait 2 weeks for a phone.

anyway maybe it could be some similar program. use the second DVD from OSX restart and keep pressing D until it makes de "Dooong" sound make a hardware test

Cursors track on 4 2D displays in VIEW - but how do I get Coordinates to display for each instead of just the active display

If DIADEM goes to the trouble of tracking the cursor on all the pages in a sheet I would think there is a NON-SCRIPT way to show the Y values for all.
My graphs are aligned on the X-axis (torque), 4 - 2D displays(1 each for RPM, HP, Current and Efficiency), and 10 plots on each of the 4 displays all in DIADEM 2010.
The display coordinates box only shows active display and others are grayed out. I've played around with the "Cursor Parameters" but that yields the same although what I add does show in the "Coordinates" dialog. I assume it may have something to do with making it automatic but I see no way to change it and how do I assign it to a channel???
On another note I'd like to be able to synchronize all 4 charts to be on the same plot(legend) to the above tracking and thus will read the same relevant data. So if plot 1 is selected on the RPM display then the other three will also be on plot 1. I assume this would have to be done programmatically but if not I'm all ears.
Solved!

Hi Tweedy -
No, you can't use the .NET code directly in DIAdem. I'm not sure what the point in suggesting it was, as it would take significant modification to be able to use similar code in DIAdem.
Have you tried using the VIEW Legends? Expand the legend for each graph and then double-click on the legend, at which point you can configure what information shows up about each curve. By default, the legend will show the Curve Name, Curve Units, X-Position (of the cursor), and Y-Position (of the cursor). Feel free to augment or contract this as needed for your preference.
After expanding each legend, switch to the Curve Cursor, and you should be able to see the Y-Position of each curve, completely synchronized.

How do you get a song to play for more than one slide???

I'm new to mac and I am trying to create a birthday video but the audio will not continue for more than 1 slide. I can do it in powerpoint but I want to burn the presentation onto DVD. Thanks for your help!

I just created a slideshow using Keynote and I just moved the song from iTunes into the inspector --> document --> audio. There is a small box that you just put the song into and it automatically plays, either once or looped.

How do I get my iPhone to play music rather than just scrolling through

I synced my new iPhone 4S to my computer and now I can't play my music. It just scrolled through the titles.

Did you check to see that shuffle is is turned off? To do this, while playing a song tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls if they are not already visible (see photo below). Then tap the shuffle button (bottom right) until it turns white (white is off).
