Install under Administrator or User Account w/ Administrator?

I was wondering how did you guys install your CS4 on windows 7. Do you install it under Administrator account or under User with Administrator priviledge? What is the difference anyway?

Found something...this is the entire page link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc507861.aspx
Follows is a section of the above document:
Marking an Application that Requires a Full Administrator Access Token
There may be situations where certain applications will not function correctly unless they are run by a user with a full administrator access token. This can occur with pre-Windows Vista programs that are not designed to operate under the UAC environment. Microsoft has provided a mechanism to ensure that these applications can be enabled so they will always be marked as requiring a full administrator access token. The following procedure details how to mark an application to always require an administrator access token when it is launched.
To mark an application to always require a full administrator access token
   1. Right click the program you would like to modify and select Properties.
   2. In Properties, select the Compatibility tab.
   3. Under Privilege Level, select the Run this program as an administrator check box, and then click Apply or OK.
   4. If this is the first time the application has been marked to run as an administrator, a dialog box will appear.
   5. Click OK to continue.
Cc507861.aa906022_note(en-us,TechNet.10).gifNote
If this is the first time that this application was marked, a message will appear indicating that Windows Vista will instruct the application to gather information about which operations the program is performing that requires it to run with a full administrator access token. This information will help Microsoft determine if any steps can be taken to correct the program in the future so that will no longer require a full administrator access token. When asked to check for "Solutions to Problems," always check for solutions on any product that has a LUADiagnostics problem. This will ensure that the collected information is sent to Microsoft. If you do not want to send this information, do not check for "Solutions to Problems."
Once complete, the program will prompt for elevation consent whenever it is launched.
So, you would uninstall cs4, run cleanup utility a bunch of times with reboots as people mention here...( I've never done it ).....create your new accounts including extra admin just in case ( with passwrd protection ) .....then re-install cs4 ..........then give cs4 the above permission to run under the admin access token.... then an normal user should be able to run it ......not just an admin account group....
good luck

Can't run programs installed under Administrator

Our user DLU's run at the User level, so we install any extra software that isn't on our image using the local Administrator account. Sometimes users are prompted to enter the Administrator password just to run such software, but it seems to depend on the program.
Virtual Apps are not always possible so I'm trying to understand the mechanics of why Users can run something installed under Administrator.

If you want them to be able to install software, make them part of the
administrators or power users group.
Of course, what's gonna happen to them WHEN they install improper software
(not IF, it is a WHEN).
What software are you trying to install?
You should probably look up the app @ the website www.appdeploy.com
While not specific to ZCM, it has an incredible wealth of info on specific
applications and how to deploy/package them

Most users are trying to install simple .exe files for browser addons
and they are nearly attacking me for the rights to do this. There has
got to be an easier way than trying to make a bundle each time some
small install issue comes up.
I just want my users to be able to install whatever they want. If they
blow up their machine we can reimage it.

Always used 1 main account. Started using individual user accounts. So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?

I recently upgraded our family's mac to OS X. I thought this was the perfect time to create and use "user accounts". We had always used 1 main account. So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account? I wanted to be able to manage my own itunes library, iphone apps, messages. But I still really need to use the Stuff I have in Quicken essentials. I don't want to have to restart all my work done in Quicken already.

I haven't used Quicken in a while, but most applications store your files in your Documents folder. Is that where your Quicken data file is? What you do next depends on how many family members need to get at that data.
If multiple family members need to use the Quicken data file, try moving it to the Documents folder in the Shared account. That is an account that all accounts can see. It's at the same level as the other accounts. In other words, Shared is one level up from your Home account, or Hard Drive/Users/Shared.
If you're the only one allowed to see that Quicken data, move the Quicken data file from the old main account to your account, and don't leave a copy behind. You can use the Shared folder as a way station for the transfer since you won't be able to see both accounts' Documents folders at the same time (because you're not allowed to peek into other people's accounts). Or you can use another disk or server for the transfer, as long as you can get to it when logged into either account.

Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone. The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On. This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

Can I install iTunes in separate user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit?

Hi,
My wife and I use different user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit. Before I go and mess things up on my computer, I wanted ask some questions:
1) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
2) If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
I'm thinking with iTunes very tight integration with the music files (for indexing/searching, etc), that it would be bad to have add/change/delete on the same music root from 2 independent installations.
Experience OR opinions welcome!

) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
You don't install the iTunes application more than once. Each user account in Windows will have its own iTunes library.
If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
Many people have done so. This should help:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Note that iTunes has no folder-watching capability, so if you add a track in one user account, the other user will have to add that new item manually, either by using the Add To Library command or dragging the item into the iTunes window. There are a couple of potential solutions from other developers, though:

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, I did not transfer files from my old pc with migration assistant when I set up the MacBook. A few days later I did the transfer, now my Itunes library and everything else from my old pc is under a different user account

I've already setup the original user account and do not want to do it again, how do I merge the two user accounts into one so all of my stuff is under one user account?

They are the same Itunes account (mine), but since I transferred the 'user account' with my Itunes library and other files from old pc to my new MacBook, I now have two 'user accounts' on my MacBook. The original I setup when I got the MacBook and the one I transferred from my pc. I've already went thru most of my photos in Iphoto and named all the faces along with general setup of how I want all my settings on my MacBook under the first user account, I don't want to start over and do it all again with the transferred user account, I just want to move my Itunes library I transferred over to my original user account on my MacBook. Does this make any sense? lol

My experience (limited) has been to expect it to be installed automatically for all users.

Installing iWork on multiple user accounts

I installed the iWork applications (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) on my iMac. However that applications only appear on one of the user accounts. Does iWork have to be installed seperately in each user account ?

The /Applications folder at the root level of the disk is available to all the users, and is where applications are normally installed (admin acess is needed to install).
There can also be an ~/Applications folder in the user's home directory (it needs to be created). Applications installed there will only be available to that user (no admin access is needed to install).

Runtime.exec() under a specific user account ???

Hi there,
I cann't figure out how to run a script on Unix under a specific user account using the Runtime.exec(). Currently whoever run the java program, the script is ran under that user account.
The code is like:
public class javarun {
public static void main(String[] arg) {
String str = "myunixscript";
// check the arg[1] to decide the appropriate environment.
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
Process pr = r.exec(str);
pr.waitFor();
int exitstatus = pr.exitValue();
} catch (...) {...}
We have two user accounts: unixusr1 and unixusr2. Now I need to have unixusr1 run the java program ( ie. unixusr1$ java javarun), while the "myunixscript" be executed under unixusr2. One further step is to the unix account name as a parameter so the unixscript could be run under different account.
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Edward.

I'm not sure if I have a solution, but here are some questions:
a) have you tried writing additional input to the OutputStream of the process? Although I have not tried it, I would imagine that Process.getOutputStream() exists for commands that require the invoking resource to send additional input to the process- like an su command that requires a password check.
b) can you just write a shell script that takes the needed information as an argument. That is, write a shell script that takes the username and password as an argument and then you can use Runtime like,
Runtime.exec("myScript", new String[] { "hisId", "hisPasswd" });Obviously, you would need to think through the security concerns of such a script, but, if it complies with the security structure of your environment, it might allow you to avoid the problem by using the shell script to invoke the destination command with the proper UID and password, rather then using the JVM to invoke it. Basically, the script becomes a proxy for the JVM to invoke that command.

Mac app store will not connect under a managed user account but will under admin. Please help clear this up?

After I have installed OSX Mountain lion I clicked on the app store to buy an app. Only one problem, it says it "cannot connect", I then tried under the admin account and it worked no problem. I log back into the managed user account and disable any parental controls that might be interferring, I try again and it worked. I need the mac app store to work under the managed user with parental controls on. I cleared the iTunes store cache and reset the warnings just to see if that might do the trick but no luck. When the latest update was availble I updated immediatly in hopes of that might fixing the problem but again it did not work. I would really appreciate if anyone had any ideas on how to help solve this issue.
-Thanks

Problem updating iTunes to 8.2 under all OS user accounts

I'm posting this for my brother.
Background: He has an iMac setup with multiple user accounts similar to how I have mine: Administrator, Parents and a separate account for each child. He recently updated iTunes to version 8.2 while logged into his (Parent) account using Admin privileges. I perform my app/OS updates this way as well and any app update is reflected in the respective app under each account. They share a common iTunes Music Store account but keep separate libraries and music folders.
Problem: After his son updated his iPod touch to 3.0, iTunes blocked the first sync indicating he needed to update iTunes to the latest version. When he checked to see what version his iTunes was under his account, it showed version 8.0. He performed a software update, iTunes 8.2 showed up so he downloaded it and, after admin credentials were entered, he installed the update. No luck. Still 8.0. He did that a couple times with no success. Since then, I've had him restart, trash pref files, and download the full update from the Apple website but nothing has worked. His iTunes still shows as version 8.0 even though all other user accounts on their iMac shows version 8.2 and he can't sync his iPod.
I don't believe OS X installs multiple instances of an app for user account purposes so I'm truly baffled by this. Should I uninstall iTunes in his user account? Under the Parent account? Which account "owns" the iTunes app? Is there some other way to get it to update?
I've searched the forums and Googled the issue and I can't find a similar issue anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

We did that as well. They can only find one version of iTunes in the Applications Folder. "Get Info" on the main account shows version 8.2 yet a "Get Info" on the kids account shows version 8.0. Performing an upgrade check from within the kids accounts finds the 8.2 updater and after running it, it indicates that the upgrade was successful. Once the upgrade is applied, the version still remains at 8.0.
Has no one else encountered this? I'm afraid to uninstall iTunes in the kids accounts because I don't know what it will do to the main iTunes.

No Sound in Flash Player under only one User Account

Hi I searched the forums and could not find the answer to this.
I have a Freshly Installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) version with the latest Flash Player (10.1).
The browser doesn't matter, both Firefox and IE have the same behavior.
No sound comes from flash at all under the admin account. Under other user accounts, the sound is fine.
The sound WAS working fine until one time it said that Flash Player had crashed. I uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed with no luck.
So I'm either gonna just make another user account... or just wipe the computer and start over unless anyone has any ideas.
-Marc

Thanks. Well vs 3.6.8 is the latest FF. There is no Flash Player at all for any 64bit system. You must use the 32bit browser when Uninstalling/Installing and viewing Flash Content.
For that to happen so suddenly sounds like some update of a program, Windows update, an Anti-Virus update had taken place. Any new program Installed or Uninstalled? Anything you can think of prior to that happening? It just sounds like a major conflict.
You may want to take a look at your Flash files, perhaps some Flash file didn't get Installed properly.
Go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back the files listed there. The NPSWF file(s) need a right click and then click on Properties to obtain the version number(s)
Also go to Tools, manage add ons with IE and find Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..Flash10h.ocx and make sure it is Enabled.
Using FF find the SWF vs 10.1.53.64 plug-in and make sure it is Enabled.
Perhaps when FP crashed it caused something to change in both of the add ons.
I had that happen to me a few months ago; Uninstalled an Anti-Virus/Installed a new version. Then couldn't see images on a website, and went to an Adobe website to check something and it told me I needed Flash Player to view it!!! Imagine my surprise:-) So that was the problem.
Thanks,

How do you Install programs to one user account on a macbook pro?

I want to download programs to my user account on my laptop without the other peoples accounts having access to it. How do you specify only to download to this account, or change the settings of past installed programs to only be accessible to my account and not the others

As Csound1 has already pointed out create a folder in your Home folder for only those applications that you want exclusive access to like this one in my Home folder:
For those application that have an installer, you'll need to install and then move the app from the Applications folder to your own app folder.
