Iphoto opens as guest user but not primary user

Iphoto will not open on the primary user account but does open as a guest user. It states that iphoto does not work with this type mac. It worked fine until yesterday. I have macbook air, OS10, iphoto 11

If iPhoto only opens in the Guest account, then some setting in your main account are faulty. Perhaps preferences files are not readable.
Remove the user preferences from your user library:
Delete the iPhoto preference file: com.apple.iPhoto.plist from your ~/Library/Preferences folder.
In Lion or later also the cached file in
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto
The library is hidden in Lion or later: To remove the files:
Click somewhere on the empty Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
Select "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar and hold down the alt/option âŒ¥ key, until you see the "Library" in the drop-down menu. Double click it to open a Finder window, so you can browse the files inside.
Scroll down to the "Preferences" folder and open it.
Remove com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Note: this will reset all iPhoto preference settings to the default values, you may want to take a note of them, before you do that.

Why does Mail open in guest account but not my account since upgrade to Mavericks?

I've read a lot of threads but not found anything that works for me. The history is this:
I've upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2. Since then, Mail won't open in my own user account. I only get a very brief error message:
Process:
Mail [1448]
Path:
/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
Identifier:
com.apple.mail
Version:
7.2 (1874)
Build Info:
Mail-1874000000000000~1
Code Type:
X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process: launchd [157]
Responsible:
Mail [1448]
User ID:
I have gone to user/Library/Mail and deleted the contents of the folder Mailboxes + all the other mailboxes. No change - Mail still won't open.
If I switch user accounts to guest user, Mail opens normally (sets up email accounts etc).
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Rebooted in safe mode, repaired disc permissions, rebooted (again in safe mode) but no difference.
There was a bit more detail I could / should have added.
1) Before it crashes, Mail says it is Upgrading your Mail database.
2) I downloaded Mail update but Installer said none of the drives were compatible. (Anyway Mail works fine in Guest Account)
3) I've been through all the tips on this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/23490745#23490745http://
and
looked at Internet accounts in Preferences and none of my email accounts is checked with Mail. It asks for a password for each one but when I provide it I get the message Unable to verify account name or password. And if I try and uncheck iCloud with Mail I get the message that I need to do that from within Mail. (Obviously not possible until I can open Mail).
In Terminal tried defaults delete com.apple.mail ColorQuoterColorList but got the message that it hadn't been done.
Tried to find Envelope.x.x files as per this fix:     Final solution: Go into ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes > Delete all mailboxes. Then go to ~Library/Mail/V2/Maildata and delete 3 or more "Envelope.x.x" files > Restart Mail, and enjoy your success.     but don't have a V2 folder nor Envelope.x.x files. I do have Envelope Index file and Envelope Index - journal
I don't suspect 3rd party applications because I think they are all available in the Guest Account aren't they?
Many thanks for your reply though. Any more ideas?

Premiere Elements 12 opens for admin users but not general users.

Error: Premiere Elements has encountered an error....Src\Core\Preferences.cpp-347
Windows 7 box.
Any suggestions? Users have rights to all Adobe folders...

Im facing more or less the same issue.
APE 12 was installed on a Windows 8.1 System as a bundle with Photoshop Elements 12.
Photoshop is able to run as expected. But APE 12 could never being started.
I recieved during the installation the request to register the product (but im not able to find it under my Adobe account til yet).
I could only once choose to start at next time without opening organizer popup but now I´m getting always
the message
"Premere Elements Debug Entry:
Premere Elements has encountered an error.
...\src\core\preferences.cpp-347
I tried to uninstall and reinstall.
I have updated Windows 8.1 to the newest available software fixes.
Also Quicktime is updated yesterday to the latest version.
I also tried to start APE by using the "start as admin" feature.
I have also tried to change the user permissions in the folder D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12 as mentioned in other threads.
The used Windowws 8.1 client system is member of a Domain.
The user is a local administrator user and uses local ressources only.
I have also updated yesterday the Grafic Card Adapter driver for the installed
NVIDIA Geforce GT 440.
The Processor is INtel Core i7 870 @ 2,9 GHz (6 cores)
6 GByte Memory is installed.
I thought it would be feasible to download pathces for the software but I was not able to find such a place like it is known from other software vendors.
I would kindly ask for your support.

Firefox crashes on startup with one user but not another user on same computer

Firefox Crashes immediately upon start up.
UniBlue Registry Booster scan and repair did not correct problem.

Hi jkharter,
The different users will have different profiles, and probably different add-ons. One of you is using Roboform and not updated it. Try updating roboform.
Please post back with how you get on, and whilst logged in mark the thread as solved, if applicable. (That helps others find it, note breakpad only searches sumo for solved threads)

IMovie will open on a guest account but not on the primary account - why?

Maybe the parental control is activated for the guest account? Have a look in System Preferences -> Parental Control.

Can connect to Mac users, but not Windows.

I have been able to connect to other Mac users signed onto AIM accounts in iChat, but not Windows users signed onto AIM. Help with this problem would be greatly appreciated, as I am at college and away from all my loved ones, and desperately want to chat with them.

Hi,
I am sorry that only 2 hours and 15 minutes left you disappointed.
Some things to consider.
1) they have to be on XP.
2) they have to be using AIM 5.9 or Trillian Pro
3) if they use AIM 5.9 they have to Tune the Camera and Mic to the Application. See message 570 in that link (Access to these preferences in in the My AIM menu now or use F3)
4) Whichever App they use it has to be Enabled through the XP firewall. IF at Service Pack 2 they need these instructions an earlier version of XP has to have the Firewall disabled.
Longer version http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html
Detailed version

The ports that iChat uses have to be opened at your end although it sounds like they are.
The port for AIM/Trillian have to opened in their modem at their end.

My photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos", and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here

my photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos", and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here. I need to get it working again because we're about to go on a trip!

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

TD

Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own?

Why do I see pictures of a different user but not my own? Opening organizer in Photoshop Elements for the first time, I see pictures of my husband, but pictures in my picture library are not there. I do not want to see my husband's pictures. And he did not give me sharing permission. What can I do?

Do you have two different catalogues (One for you and other one for your husband)
if yes,
In Elements organizer go to File>Manage Catalogs and check if you have any catalogue listed of your name.
if yes, double click on that catalogue and it will open the media on that catalogue.

ITunes accounts can be accessed under one User but not a second User.

Hi
I'm having problems setting up iTunes on a new PC I've recently purchased. On my old PC - (Vista), myself (David) and my wife (Chris) had different Windows Users accounts, both with separate iTunes accounts which we could access with no problems.
On my new Pc (Windows 7) I have downloaded iTunes and can access my iTunes account with my ID and password when the PC is logged in as 'David' as the User, as can my wife BUT when the PC the PC is logged in as my wife as the User 'Chris' neither of us can access our iTunes account with our relative ID and passwords. We get the message.. "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.".
I have seen this sentence on Google and on various forums including this one but cannot find a solution which fits my problem which is our iTunes accounts can be accessed when the PC is logged in under one User but not a second User.
Has anyone have ideas to attempt to resolve this issue?
Thank you

Report visible for one user but not for other user

Hi all,
We have a situation where a report is visible to one user but not to some other user. What could be the possible explanation for this? Please let me know.
I need quick responses.
Thanks in advance,
Sananda

Hi Sananda,
Just assign the saem roles as the other user who can view ..
You can inform the Auth/basis team and they shud be able to do this..
The T Code is RSECADMIN>user Tab>Assignment>user.Display and BView the roles here..
or goto SU01 and check for the Roles Tab.....
The New user must have the same roles as that of the other..

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need more than that. Help!

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need much more capacity than that. Ideas?

One of these may fit your needs: http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/productivity-roundups/25-fantastic-to-do-lis t-apps-for-iphone/
What do you mean make folders? Like folders inside an application or accessing system folders? You can't do the latter.

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
much smaller then than they are now.
The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.

I have tried restarting the Airport express, restarting iTunes, repairing disk permissions. Any ideas about what can be done to resolve this?

We are facing issue to open a static form PDF in Chrome Browser
, which is loaded using Adobe FormService.
Able to open in other browsers but not able to open the static

Below error message:

Please let us know do we have any option for disabling

For dynamic forms its working by adding <NOXFA/> in
DDX xml . only for static forms its not working because we are not using
assembler service for this forms.
Please let us know how we can disable XFA in static forms??????????????????

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.
