How to disable Wifi for one user account?

Hi.
I am setting up very restricted user account in Lion that I want to use on gigs when using Ableton Live 8 on stage.
Basically, my user account should just allow to run Live 8 and nothing else.
Is it possible that the airport get switched off when login into this particular user account?
Thanks in advance for your help

EDIT: If the stuff below seems more complicated than you wish to be involved in, feel free to ignore it.
The Mac will send packets bound for the Internet to the Top-Most ACTIVE interface listed in the left side of the box at:
System Preferences > Network
If you set the 'Service Order' to have Ethernet at the top, whenever Ethernet is working, Wi-Fi will be ignored.
Set Service order is available using the gear Icon at the bottom of that box.
So all my Internet traffic is going over my Ethernet connection, even though Wi-Fi is still connected and nominally "active".

Tacacs authentication fails for one user account for only one switch

Hi,
I am having an scenario, where as Tacacs authentication fails for one user account for only one switch.
The same user account works well for other devices.
The AAA configs are same on every devices in the network.
Heres the show tacacs output from the switch where only one user account fails;

What could be the reason ?
No errors on ACS server; same rights had been given to the user account.
Thanks to advise.

Hi there,
Does the user get authenticated in the ACS logs?
reports and activity----> failed attempts
ro
reports and activity-----> passed authentications
That will help narrow it down.

How to disable wifi for MAC desktop?

This is probably a very simple process. I just need a little direction. Does anyone happen to know how to disable wifi on a MAC desktop when using an ethernet cable versus wifi?

Some keys stopped working for one user account

Dear all,
since a while (I can't say since when exactly) some of the keys stopped working: left control, left shift, and the tab key. In the beginning the caps lock didn't work as well, but it was my own setting. All other then the three listed work OK. As described in some KB articles I checked all settings for universal access, localisation, keyboard, mouse, and keyboard-shortcuts (all standard). I completely disassembled the keyboard (aprox. 50 screws!) cleaned it and checked the connections between the keys on the printed circuit. Everything looks good. Then my wife told me that she does not have the problem and indeed, in other user accounts it is all working OK. It means that it should be a setup problem in my profile. The keyboard viewer is showing every activated (pressed) key, but not the three that are not working - which is only consequent. When I disable the caps-lock then the keyboard viewer doesn't show this key being pressed either. My conclusion is that there must be a keyboard filter below the application level. Now I'm stuck.
Help appreciated!
Cheers,
Kurt.

Yup, odds were against me choosing the right item on the first go
Log back into your problem account.
Here's the whole litany for thoroughly checking your home folder. It's not as daunting as it looks.
1. Go to Users/yourname//Library/Fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
• Restart and test your applications.
• If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
( Likely suspects are Times RO, Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.) If not, put your Fonts folder back.
2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
• Go to ~(YourHome/Library/Preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
• Restart and test your applications.
• If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
• Navigate to YourHome/Library.
• Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
• Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
• Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
• Click on "apply to all"
• If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
(Note:The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.)
4. Navigate to YourHome/Library/Caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.

IN OBIEE, how to disable drilldown for specific users

How to disable drilldown action in a hierarchy as manager,lead,reporter.
in this scenario i need to disable hierarchy for the specified reporter and the upper two peoples will have that functionality
Awaiting ur reply
Bala

The RPD hierarchies themselves have no security attributes on them. So your left with a workaround or two. First one that springs to mind :
Create the report in question save this as 'Manager' report.
Create the report in question, disable drilling on the column in question, save this as 'Reporter' report.
Deploy both reports to the dashboard in seperate sections and use the section permissions (against the Webgroups those users exist in) to determine which section is displayed to which user.
Maybe more options will come up from other users, but this one is a start.
Hope this helps,
Alastair

Safari 3.1.2 crashes on startup, but only for one user account

This is weird: If I'm logged in as one user and launch Safari, it strugggles and grinds the disk for a long time, brings my start page up partway, then crashes. If I'm logged in as another user on the same machine, Safari launches in mere seconds and works fine. I have tried re-installing Safari from scratch, and have also deleted the Library/Safari folder, all to no avail. There is clearly something about this particular user account that's messed up, but I don't know what.
This is on an 1-GHz iBook G4 running OSX 10.4.11. Safari used to work fine on this user account as well, and I don't know what might have changed.

First, have you installed any programs in that particular user account that are intended to enhance Safari or otherwise might influence internet/browsing activity? If so, uninstall those programs using their installers (which often have an uninstall option) or an included uninstaller if applicable.
If you don't have any such programs installed, or that doesn't fix the problem: Make sure you're logged into the account where Safari is having problems, make sure Safari is quit, and then open that user's home folder (indicated in a Finder window sidebar by the little house icon with the username) and open the Library folder inside it, then the Preferences window inside that.
(In other words navigate to \~/Library/Preferences, where "~" is the user's home folder.)
Locate the "com.apple.Safari.plist" file in that preferences folder and drag it to the trash.
Launch Safari and check to see if it's any better now.

Cannot Load HTTPS Sites For One User Account

I'm trying to help a friend troubleshoot a problem on his iMac. He's got his family setup using different user accounts and with one of those accounts, he is not able to access any HTTPS sites (gmail, yahoo, bank of america, etc). It works fine with all the other user accounts as do any regular HTTP sites with the account in question. He has done the usual trouble shooting (delete cookies, reset Safari, delete safari plist, repair permissions, etc) but the problem still exists with the one account. The account is for one of his kids so it's always possible some setting got changed by mistake or it could be something else.
Anyone has any ideas?

HI Eric,
Go to Safari/Preferences and select the Security tab.
Deselect: Warn when visiting a fraudulent website
Relaunch Safari.

Loud fans for one user account, silent for other ?

Hi All
I've had some issues with constant loud fans on my macbookpro.
I have tried pram reset and SMC reset to no avail.
Even when I have no RAM hungry applications or processes (have checked in activity monitor) the fans are going full blast within a minute of login.
I logged into another user account on my mac ( I created to test these sort of issues) - the fans are silent, so it seems highly likely it is something to do with my user account.
The good news is it appears not to be a hardware problem.
Whether this is a background process that opens at login or something else I'm hoping someone might help me eliminate this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might begin to elimate this please?
Many thanks in advance!

The problem is an application. There can't be anything else that is causing that in one user fans are working hard, even if you say that there are no processes that cause the issue.
Log in the problematic user and, when fans are working hard, open Activity Monitor, and go to View menu (on the menu bar) > All Processes. Then, look for processes that are taking a lot of CPU and memory, and copy their name here

Garageband '08 stopped working for one user account

I'm running Garageband '08 (4.1.1) on an early 2008 iMac (8,1) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
I recently tried to open a project I started a couple of months ago and Garageband has become unusable. It will open the project and all of the tracks are visible, however, the entire program is super sluggish and the project will not actually play. You can press "Play" but it will play about 1 beat before it freezes again.
So here's the list of things I've tried..........
Tested the same project(s) using another user account. Garageband behaves normally and the projects all play nicely. "So I've got that goin' for me"
I've also tested other programs that use a lot of system resources like iMovie, Final Cut Express, and some 3D modeling/home design software (Sketchup and Sweet Home 3D). These all work fine. While running Garageband the Activity Monitor shows no major system use (CPU I thinks was less than 20%).
I've tried using Disk Utility to verify and repair Permissions and verify and repair the disk. While doing the disk repair I did get a message stating that there were errors that required the original install disk to repair. I did use the install disk and it did successfully repair the errors.
I've also tried deleting all of the preference files for Garageband. I've actually done this multiple times after trying some of the other fixes above (figured give it a clean start).
I've uninstalled Garageband and re-installed it from the original system discs.
Since I'm posting here now you can assume that all of the above attempts have been unsuccessful.
Any thoughts?
Bonus Question: I also have Garageband running on my iPad but Garageband '08 on my Mac doesn't let you exchange files back and forth. I planned to upgrade to a version that does, but before I did they released the new version that won't run on Snow Leopard. I'm not sure my iMac will run the newer OS well so I'd like to stay on Snow Leopard if possible. Is there a way to find an older version of Garagband that will let me exchange projects with my iPad, but not make me upgrade my iMac OS?
Thanks!

Clicking the App Store item in the Finder menu does not open the application for one user account.

Although clicking the App Store icon in my Dock works, clicking the App Store . . . selection in the Finder menu doesn't do anything. I created a second user account and the Finder Menu worked as expected.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

How to Disable WiFi for Portege R830 + Port Replicator& External Keyboard

Dumb questions I'm sure, but this is driving me nuts.
I have a Port Replicator with external keyboard and monitor attached. The Port replicator has an wired Ethernet connection to my LAN. When I dock my R830 into the Port Replicator I'd ideally like it to turn off the wireless adapter, but as a minimum I definitely want it to default to using the wired LAN connection not WiFi.
Currently it just seems to randomly decide to either use the wired or wireless connection when I dock.
So ... two part question:
1. How can I set the R830 to automatically default to a wired Ethernet connection when I dock?
2. How can I disable the wireless connection when I'm docked and using an external keyboard (the F8 toggle to turn wireless on/off on the laptop keyboard doesn't work on external keyboards)
Many thanks in advance for your advice.

> How can I set the R830 to automatically default to a wired Ethernet connection when I dock?
If the port replicator is connected to the LAN then the notebook would use the LAN connection automatically if you connect the R830.
> How can I disable the wireless connection when I'm docked and using an external keyboard (the F8 toggle to turn wireless on/off on the laptop keyboard doesn't work on external keyboards)
Well, in such case you can use the internal keyboard to switch off the Wlan using Fn + F8

Adjusting the display area's size for one user

For one user account, the display is larger than the area of the monitor such that when we move the mouse the whole picture scrolls since it does not fit on to the display's area.
I would have thought this had to do with the hardware adjustments with which you can adjust the hor/vert positioning, etc., but I have not been able to address this problem with these controls - In any case, those hardware controls effect all users and this is only an issue for one (of four) users.
It seems it has to do with the resolution since the fonts are slightly distorted.
The display system preferences are set correctly - and no matter what resolution is set, the problem is consistent for that user.
Any suggestions?!

System Preferences->Universal Access and check that Zoom is off.

How to disable UAC for standard account in windows 8.1 single language OS

Hi,
How to Disable UAC in a standard account on windows 8.1 single language OS.
application for mobile modem (TATA DOCOMO) always asks for administrator password, in windows 7 I used to just set UAC never Prompt in admin account and same setting would reflect in standard user account and then users where not prompted for password but in
windows 8.1 single language edition I have disabled UAC in admin account but in standard account the setting for UAC was still in default (notify me when programs try to make changes to my computer), if I try to set never, the ok button is greyed out with
message saying that you must be logged in as administrator.
And Group policy editor, local security policy are not available in windows 8.1 single language.
can any one give command to disable UAC using CMD.
OR
set registry to not prompt for admin password.
Thanks in advance..........

Hi Ed,
But in control panel -> user accounts -> Change user account control settings
I can set the settings to always notify
and default notify when programs try to make changes to computer.
But I can't set it to never prompt because only administrator as power to do that and if I set never prompt in administrator account the settings in standard user remains in
always notify.
so please let me know, if there is any other way to over come the problem.
Main problem is application from unknown source always prompt for admin password.
I need to disable it from prompting for admin password to run applications in standard accounts.
