Is it OK to share system profile with support

I'm having a problem with a game, CoD4, and the support staff at Aspyr has asked me to share my system profile with them. Are there any security or other concerns that I should be aware of before doing so?
Many thanks,
Brian

I agree you should send your profile to a bona fide company. I did this recently to help OnOne Software debug a problem they are having with one aspect of the ATI graphics card in the i7 iMac.

Agfa ScanWise cannot find Colorsync System Profile

Another casualty in Snow Leopard. My Agfa Scanner uses Scanwise 2.1fc2 (the last from Agfa). It worked OK in Leopard.
Now when it starts I get" ScanWise can not find the current ColorSync System Profile. Please recalibrate your monitor or select another system profile with the ColorSync Control Panel".

Here's exactly what I did to get TWAIN SANE Interface to work:
--Go to TWAIN SANE Interface site: http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/
--Download the (1) libusb, (2) SANE backends, (3) SANE preference pane, (4) TWAIN SANE interface binary packages for Snow Leopard
--Grab the FAQ on that page too (http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/faq.html)
--Install the packages in the order above just by double-clicking them
--Open the FAQ file and read it!
--Launch the Terminal, and type the following to scan: scanimage --format tiff > test.tiff
--A tiff file of your document will be scanned and stored in your Home folder
According to the page, you should be able to get your scanner to work within Word, Graphic Converter, etc., but I haven't figured that out yet. For now, I'm just happy that I can scan again. Nice to know that something like the SANE project is out there...

I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

I have exactly the same problem.
I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

Restart the MBP and immediately hold the option key down. Release the key when you see the Apple logo. The computer will boot and show you a screen with two hard drive icons.
Select Recovery and hit Return.
On the new screen, select Disk Utility and hit Return.
In DU do this:
In the list at the left, select the name of your hard drive. (Be sure to select the name that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
When that is done, click Repair Permissions. Be patient!
When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.

I tried to open a third party download with system profiler

I tried to open download with system profiler. I know stupid. I know nothing about all this.
Now I can't get the sytem profiler icon off the application download. It is an Internet Sweeper or something. I want to uninstall it but I can't. Otherwise it doesn't matter. It is just sitting and doing nothing.

Have you tried restarting your MacBook?
What do you mean by restarting?

Can I run PSE 8 with Mac OS X 10.8.2? Install hangs at 'checking system profile'

Hi
I had to replace my iMac hard drive a few months ago and installed Mac OS X 10.8.2 (having been running something a bit older). I have just tried to install PSE 8 from disc (which worked quite happily on my earlier OS X version) and it hangs when the install gets to 'checking system profile'. Should it install or do I need to get a later version of PSE?
Thanks

Don't think that this will work, despite PSE 8 not being that old. Undoubtedly some of the security and file system changes in OSX 10.7 and 10.8 are at play here thast the installer can't cope with... Consider getting PSE 11.

PSE 8 Setup hangs (80% complete) with checking system profile message

Hello
I have a Elements 8 installation problem (Setup hang with checking system profile message). I'm running Mac OS 10.6.1 on a MacBook Pro (Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz, Memory: 4 GB) purchased mid 2009. I have contacted Adobe support and tried all of their suggestions (open case #181253338). I did reinstall OS x 6.1, ran CS$ clean script, ran cache clean tool, and many reboots. I noticed in the discussions that the install of OS X 6 has, at times, corrupted some files creating install problems. I am at a loss and would enjoy any suggestions on what to try next.

Hi,
Attached are the logs from \library\logs\Adobe\Installers
I cleared out the logs, ran PSE Setup until it hung then did Force Quit on
Setup and attached the logs.
Thanks for your attention,
Gary

Can I share color profiles and distiller settings with all user accounts on my imac?

Everyone in our studio is on OSX 10.8.3 with adobe cs6 (not creativecliud version).
I have installed color settings and distiller settings on to the macs under the employees user profile.
All the machines also have a general user profile which anyone can use (setup mainly for use by freelancers).
Is there a space on the macs where i can install the color profiles and distiller settings so that all user accounts have them set up?
At the moment i am having to go into each user account on each machine and do it manually.
Also once i have installed distiller settings in one user account I can't install them on subsequent users.
I have tried placing the files in the
library/applicationsupport/adobe/color/
library/applicationsupport/adobe/adobepdf/settings
and
user/library/applicationsupport/adobe/color/
user/library/applicationsupport/adobe/adobepdf/settings
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,Russell

In that case, assuming your wife's XP User Account can access the D: drive as well, you don't have to bother with the To share your music with other accounts on the computer section of that article. That's already taken care of.
Just log into her account and head directly to the To listen to another account's music files section and follow those instructions.
If I had to emphasize one step to keep from stuffing it up, it would be:
4. Deselect the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library file" option.
("Deselect" being a fancy way of saying "uncheck")

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The hard drive is not formatted, and it must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in order to install OS X.
Close the OS X installer, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. Then, format your hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and install OS X

Share firefox profile across multiple operating systems.

I've recently installed windows 8 on a VHD (my main OS is Windows 7) and I was wondering if it was possible to share the same firefox profile on both operating systems. I have the profile manager from [http://ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/utilities/profilemanager/ ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/utilities/profilemanager/], but when I tried to make a new profile at the location of my main profile, it instead made a subdirectory under my main profile. Is there anything I can do to share the profile between the two? I could always use sync, but I would like to share my addons, if possible.

* Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

System Profiler Report Shows PowerPC apps installed - what to do with them?

I just purchased a new iMac and successfully installed brand new shrink wrapped software: Adobe CS3 Design Standard and Microsoft Office:mac 2008. Additionally, I ran Adobe Updater and Microsoft AutoUpdate to ensure I had all of the latest updates - each ran successfully and all applications were successfully updated to the latest versions.
Following the software installation I ran System Profiler to audit all the applications that were installed and I noticed all applications installed with these packages were Universal with the exception of nine applications which are listed as PowerPC apps:
* six apps installed with Adobe Illustrator and
* three apps with Microsoft Office:mac 2008; MSML Server was loaded in two different locations?!
I am concerned that I may have problems if I happen to run any of these PowerPC apps on the Intel iMac or just the fact that they are even present on the computer and may cause problems.
Can someone offer advise if I should delete these PowerPC apps from my new Intel iMac or what I should do with them?
Thanks for your help,
John

The Adobe items are all AppleScripts which have been compiled as applications. AppleScripts are not compiled as universal apps.
Microsoft Messenger is a universal app. It's possible the server apps are not given they are dated 2005.

Apple System Profiler V 10.6.0 with OS 10.6.7

How can I get a list of Applications to appear in ASP V 10.6.0 ?
When Contents/Software/Applications selected I get "No information found."
I have tried 32/64 bit mode combinations with and without Rosetta.
Activity Monitor indicated that ASP is a Intel (64 bit) app.
This happens on all of my Macs -- MP/iMacs/MBP/MBA/MB/MM/MMS
I have left ASP on over night and still get the same -- No information found

roam,
Yes, I have disabled Spotlight due to its high CPU use (30%), taking up extra HD space with its database file and trying to index my external HDs or flash keys when they are being frequently connected.
I use EasyFind to replace Spotlight.
I have just activated Spotlight and set it to just Index the Applications on my iMac with a 1 TB HD. All other Spotlight selection are still deactivated. Spotlight reports that it will take 7 to 9 hours to complete the Indexing of Applications.
I will report back when Spotlight has completed the Indexing and then look for the complete list of Applications on my iMac's System Profiler.
Thanks for the recommending the possible solution to this problem.
My primary reason for this mode of operation is that I need 100% of CPU processing capability so that the iMac can process Stanford University's Folding@Home cancer research Work Units:

LoadUserProfile() creates a profile with Chinese characters on a remote system

Hi,
I'm working on an application where LoadUserProfile() is being used to remotely load a user profile on a machine. The token being passed to LoadUserProfile() is obtained from LogonUser().
When doing this only with a Domain Admin user which is added in Active Directory, it creates a profile with Chinese characters in the C:\Users\ folder of the remote machine. Note that this happens only when logging in for the first time with
this Domain Admin account remotely on that machine.
// code:
PROFILEINFO pi;
memset((void *) &pi, 0, sizeof(PROFILEINFO));
pi.dwSize = sizeof(PROFILEINFO);
pi.dwFlags = PI_NOUI;
pi.lpUserName = (TCHAR *)strUser; //strUser is the User name, and it shows correctly here when debugging
if (LoadUserProfile(hToken, &pi))
//It is actually successful, and comes here when debugging.
Although the name shows up correctly when debugging (remotely), why is it creating a profile with Chinese characters on the remote machine?
TIA,
Jy

CreateProfile won't load the profile. You need to use LoadUserProfile to load the profile, and you need to query for a roaming profile path to put in the lpProfileInfo parameter if you want to include that as well. You need a token for a
user to call LoadUserProfile, but not a profile handle. LoadUserProfile will populate that for you before it returns if it was successful. See this excerpt from
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762281%28v=vs.85%29.aspx:
Upon successful return, the hProfile member
of PROFILEINFO is
a registry key handle opened to the root of the user's hive. It has been opened with full access (KEY_ALL_ACCESS). If a service that is impersonating a user needs to read or write to the user's registry file, use this handle instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Do not close thehProfile handle.
Instead, pass it to the UnloadUserProfile function.
This function closes the handle. You should ensure that all handles to keys in the user's registry hive are closed. If you do not close all open registry handles, the user's profile fails to unload. For more information, see Registry
Key Security and Access Rights and Registry
