IMovieQuits on Launch... only for Admin account

Hi
Just installed iMovie 6.02... but as Admin it Quits Uexpectedly on launch (as it's loading the last project...)
I've deleted prefs, repaired permissions, etc etc.
New Admin users are fine ... as are managed users....
The crash report mentions iTues in the crashed thread report.

I deleted all iTunes prefs (including the ones in the ByHost folder) but it didn't make any difference.
All other iLife 06 apps run fine.
Not a show stopper... but I want to know why!!!
Thanks for any thoughts
Lee

Try this:
Quit iMovie. Delete its prefs file at the admin accounts home folder at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie... (or something like that -- I'm at a Windows box right now). Then launch iMovie and rebuild its prefs as you like.

Creative Cloud should launch only for my account

My PC is also used by my wife and my kid, and every time they log in, they get this annoying Creative Cloud login box.
How do I get rid of it on their accounts only ?

IPhoto will not launch fully in Admin Account

iPhoto will not launch in my Admin account. I get the menu bar but nothing on the desktop. There are no error messages either. It works fine in other accounts.
Before I have to dump this admin account and start another and migrate all the docs/info, does anyone have a fix?
I'm using the latest version of iPhoto and OSX 10.5.1. Incidentally all was working fine for a couple of weeks after I'd but this new mac.
Thanks

It could be that the Window is opening Offscreen - try using the Displays PreferencePane to change the screen resolution, which will force the Mac to Redraw the screen.
Also, if you're using Spaces, switch it off and see if it turns up.

I'm facing a problem only for this account that whenever I purchase a ringtone after few hours it disappears from the sound and it happened with all the ringtones I purchased since 2 days. also when i visit the store from the same account to download the ringtones again i have to buy them again and again . Please try to fix this problem for me and refund my money back.

Lightroom 3 asks for serial number launching in non-admin account

The following information was provided by Carey Burgess (Adobe Employee):
Does Lightroom 3 launch and work fine in an admin account, but when you launch the application in a standard (i.e. non-admin) account it asks for a serial number?
If so, then it is likely due to a file permissions issue either in the original (admin) account or with the standard account.
(Although you need administrator access to install Lightroom, and you do need proper access permissions to your photos, you should be able to run Lightroom without issue in a standard user account.)
Lightroom 3 stores registration data (the serial number) in a file called Lightroom 3.0 Registration, which is stored by default in one of these locations:
    * Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
    * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
    * Windows 7/Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom
- Check for the registration file in the appropriate location for your system.
If the file does not exist in that location, then ensure you are logged in with the admin account (the one where Lightroom doesn't prompt for a serial number) and check the user-specific location instead:
    * Mac OS: /Users/YOUR USER NAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
    * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
    * Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom
If the file exists in the user-specific location instead, then I would suggest that you ensure that you have quit Lightroom, and then move the registration file from the user location to the default system-wide location. Lightroom should now no longer prompt for serial number when you open it from a non-admin account.
If the registration file did (or now does) exist in the default system-wide location, but you are still being prompted to enter a serial number when opening Lightroom in a standard user account, then that account does not have sufficient access permission to the registration file.
To resolve this aspect, there are two possible solutions (the first being the recommended solution):
1. Change the access permissions on the Lightroom folder that contains the registration file to grant "Read" access for the standard user account. (You can do this for each account individually, or you can use a broader group like Everyone.)
For more information about changing permissions, see one of these articles:
    * Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419#4
    * Windows Vista/Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-are-permissions
    * Mac OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8342.html
2. Copy the registration file from the system-wide location to the user-specific location for the standard user account. (You would need to repeat this step for each standard user that needs access to Lightroom.)
Reply here if these steps do not resolve your issue, or if you have any questions.

Months ago, I had a routine clearout of old software boxes etc and chucked out my Lightroom 1.0 box. A couple of weeks ago I reinstalled Lion on my mac to find that I cannot register Lightroom. I have the 3.0 upgrade serial, the 2.0 upgrade serial, but the 1.0 was on the box..
I followed the instructions above to find the files in crashplan form before the fomat that hold the registration details. I have tried placing them in the location described, but it doesn't seem to work.
The serials (or something) are in the file, but given in the string that is difficult to decipher - and doesn't work in the registration screen, wrong size and a mix of letters and numbers rather than just numbers as my 3.0 serial is.
Any suggestions for what I could do? Could I send the strings in to Adobe to be deciphered? Perhaps move files around a bit more?
Thanks in advance,
Rog.

SMB File Sharing only works for Admin Accounts???

I'm using a mac mini as a small file server. It will share files to WindowsPCs using SMB but there is a problem.
On the Option dialog where you select accounts to share files and folders using SMB only Admin accounts show up. This is far from ideal as I'd prefer to using Sharing Only or Standard accounts.
Is this a known issue? Is there a solution?

What permissions are you setting on the share? My guess is you are only using user, group, and other (POSIX). You need to add an ACL to the list and then set read/write or full control.

Itunes/iPhoto will not auto-launch on non-Admin account

I have looked and looked and have not see this exact problem.
Got my wife an iPhone for xmas, and we share an iMac, I have an admin account on the computer and she has a user account. We both share an iPhoto and iTunes Library via an external drive. So the problem come about when the phone is plugged in when her account is active, neither iphoto or iTunes will auto-launch however if my account is active and the iphone is plugged in they will launch.
For some reason the programs only auto-launch in my account and not in hers and and I tried check and uncheck the auto-sync options in her accounts with no luck.
I am not sure if this has anything to do with it, but we activated the phone using my Powerbook.
Anyone have any bright ideas on this one...
TIA

Not much of a relief to you, but I too have the same problem and believe it has to do with iTunesHelper in the login items and an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. I did some searches and found that iTunesHelper is not in the default login items of new Leopard accounts, but is for Tiger. Since I've upgraded to Leopard, I removed it from my login items and that is when I believe the auto-launch capability stopped. Unfortunately, iTunesHelper isn't a standard application anymore and is buried inside iTunes.
There must be some difference between a new account on Leopard and an upgraded account from Tiger. I just want to remove the login item while keeping the auto-launch of iTunes.

Adobe CC Apps wont launch on my Admin account but will on a guest account on my Macbook Pro

Hi,
My company owns an Adobe CC lisence. I've downloaded Prem Pro, AE, Photoshop and Bridge on to my brand new retine Macbook Pro running Mavericks, and none of the apps will launch properly on my main administrator account.
Prem Pro just crashes at the splash screen, Photoshop loads to a new project screen then crashes, AE says its can't load because of an error, each them a different reason.
However, I can get them to work when switching user accounts to a guest account. Both the Macbook and Adobe CC subscriptions are new, so I can't understand why it's working on one account and not another?
It's useless to me that it doesn't work on my admin account, as the laptop is both my work and personal computer, so everything is on the main admin account, a guest account is literally just for a guest to login.
Any help?
Cheers,
Phil

Adobe 9 opens PDF online only in admin account

Okay, this is very strange and I've tried the last two days to figure this out:) Probably something very easy that I overlooked. This is what happens...
It is not ALL PDF docs that don't display. Most do. But there's a military web site to view fitness reports that only downloads and displays PDF docs in admin mode. When I click on the PDF document in user account it opens a new page and appears to be downloading the PDF to be displayed. But then, the browser only displays a blank white page and says "Done" in the bottom status bar of the browser. Now when I'm in admin account... It opens up no questions asked.
This is what I have done so far. I have tried unchecking the "Display PDF in browser", uninstalled 9.0 and reinstalled, uninstalled acrobat(have not reinstalled), uninstalled 9.0 and installed 8.1.3, deleted the 2 registry folders that adobe recommends and repaired it...
I believe that's all I've done so far. Is there an access problem? Maybe plugins? But I'm almost positive user account has the adobe plugin because it can open other PDF docs from the web with no problem...
I'd appreciate any advice. I havn't read many problems like this one out there. Someone posted this very problem on experts exchange but no one answered. Said he fixed it by rolling back to 8.0 and that didn't work for me:(

I've been having the same problem with pdfs I create from either InDesign CS4 or Word docs through Word 2007 (both 97-2003 and 2007 docs), which are then accessed through links on our webpages. The IE browser window comes up blank displaying Done accompanied by a blank error dialogue box with a question mark and an OK button.
We're still diagnosing the why and hows, and whether outsiders accessing these links have the same problem, but I've found if you click the OK and refresh the browser a couple of times, and give it some time to load, the pdf shows eventually. Once it's cached it shows every time (at least for me).
Firefox doesn't seem to have the same problems so using that will help most people.
I'll write again when and if I have further info on this.

Freezing during start up - only on admin account

I have two accounts enabled on my Macbook Pro: One main account which is the admin, and one for my boyfriend to use.
A few nights ago I downloaded a pdf file from an email and the computer froze. (the file download could just be a huge coincidence) I restarted and when I try to log in under my Admin account, everything loads, but I can't do anything; The cursor just stays as the spinning wheel as if it's loading, but nothing ever loads.
When I login using the other account everything works fine. What's going on? How can I fix this?
I've tried safe mode but it just does the same thing.

Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons

After login I get a blue screen and then back to login window, but only for one account

When one of the users on the iMac tries to login it goes to a blue screen and back to the login window. This only happens with one of the users - I've tried doing a safe boot, running disk utility, and using Time Machine to restore the user's libray back to pre-problem timetable. When I run repair permissions I do gt a SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" and "usr/sbin/pppd" have been modified. Any ideas?

Try this...
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20013630-263.html
If that doesn't help I'd make a new user & use an admin account to move the old folders over & change rights to the new user.

Printer Prints fine for Admin Account, but not for "Regular" User Account.

Printer works perfectly when signed on as Administrator, but not when we use non-admin login. I can see the printer - it says ready, but it won't print.. although job does not sit in printer queue.
I did a full driver install FROM the local account, using "Run as" - but it can't find the printer. I did a Full Driver Install from the Admin account, with no change to the non- admin account. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks .

Hi @maggie-o,
I understand you can print when printing form an admin account, but otherwise can not. I would be happy to help you with this.
If you are running Norton Antivirus, go into the Control Panel and click on Printers & Faxes, then right click on the Printer and select Properties. In the Properties, click on the Advanced tab., and set it to Print Direct to Printer instead of using the Print Spooler. I think there is something in Norton that prevents the Limited Users account from accessing the Print Spooler.
If the issue persists, please take a look at the following articles: Security permissions for printing, & To set or remove permissions for a printer.
I hope this helps.

MAIL stops retrieving new email but only for one account

I have 14 different email accounts in MAIL, all IMAP.
worked well under 10.4 and iMac G5, got a new iMac with 10.6 a few months ago and have had problems with ONE email account since then.
It is my "primary" email account and every once in awhile Mail will stop retrieving messages from the server for that account only. I can view the messages via a webmail account but the MAIL account in question stays "online" but does not retrieve messages. Quit and relaunch MAIL and the messages are then retrieved. This only affects MAIL 4.2 in OS10.6 (any version I have had) iPhone is not affected or my olde MacBook.
All email accounts are for domains I control and not Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail etc.
What could be causing this?

hmmm, I don't get the beachball. MAIL just checks all the accounts but for whatever random reason will not pull messages from one account.
Also- this has been doing this since I got the new iMac with 10.6, this is not a sudden onset.
