"Loading Accounts..." never ends

As System Administrator, I simply need to delete one user. After clicking on System Preferences, then on the Accounts icon, the Accounts pane does not pop up. The system just sits there showing "Loading Accounts..." Is there any other way to gain access to the Accounts pane?

Pondini....thank you! Your suggestion led me on a path that ultimately resolved my problem. Here is what I did, in sequence:
1. Repair Disk Permissions -- Result: Many repairs, but my stated problem was not one that was repaired.
2. Repair Disk -- Result: Same as #1.
3. Brute force
a. Made a new backup
b. Booted from Mac OS X Install DVD
c. Erased the entire internal hard drive
d. Repeated b.
e. Restored from newest backup, everything except the user account I wanted to delete in the first place.
f. Booted from internal hard drive -- Result:
(1) The user list was correct
(2) Clicked on System Preferences, than on the Accounts icon.....and.....and....the Accounts pane popped up instantly!!
Thanks for leading me to repair the Disk and Disk Permissions, which fixed things I didn't even know needed fixing.

I am using I Photo 4.0.3. When I start it, loading pictures never ends and I cannot use I Photo; What can I do?

I am using I Photo 4.0.3. When I start it, loading pictures never ends and I cannot use I Photo; What can I do?

When did this begin? Did you run any updaters just before this began and, if so, what were they?
That's a very old iPhoto version so give this a try:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down.
2 - select Options #3 and #4.
4 - Rebuild the library.
If that fails to help continue with this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Iphoto4.0.3 is not working!"Loading photos"never ends!

Time and time again,my Iphoto(4.0.3) doesn't work,"Loading Photos" is still going and I don't see my photos anywhere, is there any way to make it work normally? will I loose all my photos? Why is this happening?
Desperate Janet.

Janet,
Open your "Pictures" folder and find the folder named "iPhoto Library" inside. When you've found it, open the iPhoto Library folder, find the folder named "Albums", and temporarily drag it to the desktop.
Now try launching iPhoto again to see if the "loading photos" problem still exists.

Safari 4.0.3 for leopard 10.5.8 never ends loading

Ok, so I had Leopard 10.5.7 and updated to Leapord 10.5.8 and when I did Safari 4.0.2 downloaded with it.
Safari 4.0.2 never ended loading its start page. So when Safari 4.0.3 cam out, I deleted 4.0.2 and downloaded 4.0.3. Still the problem remains. As soon as I open Safari, it starts loading and never ends (I waited 1 hour one day). When its loading I cant even use Safari b/c the beachball comes up. Though other applications like Firefox do work, even when Safari is loading.
How would I fix it.
Thanks for your help!

Is anyone else having this problem????
Does anyone know how to fix it? Having to use Firefox is getting annoying after being used to Safari.
If it helps, I have Windows XP downloaded on the computer using bootcamp but this problem started way after I started using bootcamp.

I have this issue also, with images from my D70 (~6 megapixels) ... no solution, except that when it happens, quitting and re-launching Aperture seems to clear it up for a while, at least until it happens again.
Given that you have almost twice the RAM and four times the CPU cores that I have, I suspect this is a software issue, and not one of insufficient hardware resources. :-)

It's stays in the "deleting" but I can't cancel it or close the window.
What can I do?

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

Well you can't connect to 2 networks at the same time. So just choose either or.

Items purchased in an account a permanently associated with that account. You cannot split accounts nor merge them. You can log in with your family account and download items that way. In the long run though, especially if you are using other Apple devices, you may encounter problems with authorization. You should look into making new purchases with your own ID.

Suddenly never ending pinwheel and slower than usual

My macbook pro suddenly started to get slow and gave me a never ending pinwheel while only having Safari running. The mouse was working but no response when clicking. Only way to restart computer was by holding down the Start button. Restarted and this time the computer hang up when I tried to Log in (while writing Login and password). I mangaged to Log in two more times but I got the pinwheel again when browsing internet. Finally I managed to make it to Support/Community.. any idea what's wrong?
Thanks in advance (: !

Print out these instructions and info at the links provided as most require you to be offline.
Do a SMC and PRAM reset first, then a Hardware Test
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
If the hardware test gives any errors, note them here.
Check the time and date on your computer to make sure it's correct.
If your still having slowdowns, pull the power plug on both the router and the modem, connect the modem and wait a bit then connect the router. Reboot your computer and it should connect automatically to your wifi. See if your slowdowns only occur if connecteted to the WiFI or not, that way it can be determined if it's a internet issue or not.
(If your still having slowdowns, it might be because you have a Open Network on your router and someone is leaching off of it. WPA 2 with AES is the only secure wifi standard))
You can test your internet connection speed here, see if it matches what your paying for.
http://www.speedtest.net/
IF your computer still has issues then:
Fish out the 10.6.x disks that came with your computer (grey) or the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk, stick it in the computer and reboot holding the c key.
(Make sure the disks are clean on the bottom, wipe with a very soft cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to clean and don't place the disk on a harsh surface that can damage the bottom.)
Second screen in, under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility, select your drive on the left and click First Aid, Repair Disk (please write down any errors this gives and tell us) and Repair Permissions (the results there you can ignore)
Do not erase or reformat the drive.
Reboot and see if your computer works, if not repeat the c boot off the installer disk again and this time skip Disk Utility and install OS X.
It will install on top of your 10.6.8 installed version (only, not your programs or files), which when finished you reboot and immediately Software Update to 10.6.8
This should take care of anything wrong with OS X itself.
Now to clean the caches of the user and other checks.
Download the free OnyX for 10.6 and run ALL the maintenance and cleaning aspects and reboot at the end of the tasks (you can cancel in between reboots) but reboot at the end of using Onyx)
Do all the checks it asks when it starts up and note any errors here they report.
Also under the Verify Tab is a Preference (plist) check, check the "show only corrupt files" and run that, make a note of all and any corrupt plist files.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Plist files are preference settings files that sometimes get corrupted and may be the cause of your problems.
If you have some, then you can look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for them and Trash them and reboot the machine and load the program responsible, the plist file gets rebuilt without your preferences which you reset.
The next thing to check would be your web browser plug-ins here
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
For Flash in Safari check here again as it's more accurate
http://flashbuilder.eu/flash-player-version.html
Download Flash and install if it's not this version (latest)
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Silverlight here
https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx
Finally install and run ClamXAv on your drive, this will look for known malware that might have gotten accidentally installed.
http://www.clamxav.com/
Since OS X was reinstalled, along with bundled programs like Safari, this should only leave applications and users as a source of any infection.
If your stil having issues, then create a new user and transfer your files over and when up on the new user, delete it.

URGNET - Electronic Bank Statement - Master Account not ends with zero.

Hi
I have a peculiar situation. I have a House bank which we would like to use for EBS. The GL account assigned for this house bank ends with 6.
As per the EBS design, the master account must end with zero (0) and all other clearing account can end with from 1 to 9.
I dont want to change my current GL account assigned to this house bank. Is there any way to implement EBS for this account without changing the house bank GL account. At the same time, I should have the remaining clearing accounts.
Please suggest me.
Thanks and Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
You sure have a peculiar scenario.
Though have never tried anything like this. But i think it could be done if you could play around with the 'Acct Modifier' and 'Currency' Options provided when you assign your account symbols to Accounts.
Normally, we give a '+' for both these fields signifying all options.
Let me know your experience on this.
Regards,
Chetan

Scene never ends

hello,
my scene only contains 2 images.
the 1st: a layer with the script "stop;", and,on another, a
movie clip with the scrip:
onClipEvent(load){
Calculate approximate kbps after test swf loads
function getkbps(startTime,sizeInBytes) {
elapsedTimeMS = getTimer() - startTime; // time elapsed
since start loading swf
elapsedTime = elapsedTimeMS/1000; //convert to seconds
sizeInBits = sizeInBytes * 8; // convert Bytes to bits,
sizeInKBits = sizeInBits/1024; // convert bits to kbits
kbps = (sizeInKBits/elapsedTime) * 0.93 ; // IP packet
header overhead around 7%
return Math.floor(kbps); // return user friendly number
Load test.swf with a unique time to work around browser
caching.
Browser will always load a new copy of SWF because url is
different each time.
now = new Date(); // create date object
nocacheStr = "?" + now.getTime();
this.loadMovie("test.swf"/*+ nocacheStr*/);
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
// do not execute code until SWF begins to load
if(this._url != _root._url){
if(typeof start == "undefined") {start = getTimer();} // set
start time once
if(this.getBytesLoaded() < this.getBytesTotal()){ /* not
yet loaded*/}
if(this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()){ // swf
loaded call getkbps()
_level0.bandwith = getkbps(start,this.getBytesTotal());
_root.gotoAndStop(2);

You should read up on Garage Band, I figured it out in 2 minutes and I don't really use that program.
You need to create a new software instrument and then use a midi keyboard or the software one provided. Hit record and hit your note, holding it down as long as you want.

UT acquisition never ends

I have had thi issue in the past and
TAC provided me a patch under bug id CSCtd49439 but I seem to
have the same problem again
I have this acquisition runnng since the 9th and it as never stopped and I don't know why it is showing 45855 hosts, the most we have less than 10000 hosts. Can anyone tell me what cuould be wrong with my server?
I'm running LMS3.2 on Solaris 10.
Acquisition status Running
Acquisition type Major
Acquisition start time 09 Oct 2010, 05:00:00 EDT
Last Acquisition end time 08 Oct 2010, 07:44:01 EDT
Number of acquisitions 1155
Number of host entries 45855
Number of duplicate MAC 21341
Number of duplicate IP 89
Number of CCM hosts 0
Number of IP phone entries 0
Last campus data collection completed at 11 Oct 2010, 12:14:33 EDT
Campus data collection status Idle

A never-ending UT acquisition is not the same as the problem described by CSCtd49439. That would also not account for an inflated number of end hosts. Without knowing the exact details of the end hosts, I do know we had an old bug in Campus 4.x where UT would generate perpetual duplicates. This was fixed in 4.0.11, but one would need to reinitialize the ANI database to remove the duplicates. If this is an upgrade from LMS 2.6, then perhaps you still have old, stale data. Running this command would fix that:
NMSROOT/bin/perl NMSROOT/campus/bin/reintdb.pl -ut
As for the never-ending UT, check to see if the UTMajorAcquisition process is still running. If so, contact TAC, and they can walk you through the process to get a thread dump from this process. That will help identify what the process is doing and whether or not this is some kind of deadlock, or a configuration issue.

InstallShield Wizard never ends under Solaris !

Hi
I am launching ./solaris_livecycle8_setup.bin under a new path on a same machine as my other Es installation.
The Installshield wizard never ends
This must be an issue with some temporary files of the previous separate install
But I can't find any files in /var/tmp or /opt/adobe
How can I extract nice adobe install files to luanch my install ?
Regards
Chris

Mail synching never ends

Hi,
When I connect my iPhone 3G, the synching process in iTunes 8.02 gets stuck on Synching Mail Accounts - and never ends. I even let the synching run all night, but the process was still going in the morning.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

Perhaps the difference is that the account you currently use is not an IMAP account but a POP account, and it is not configured to save messages on the server after retrieval. MobileMe and AOL mail are IMAP mail accounts.
If your present email provider supports IMAP, then change your mail account to use IMAP instead of POP. This will make it easy to keep both computers consistent with email.

Essbase data load process never terminating

Hi
We are using Essbase 11.1.2.1.
We try to load a data file into a BSO Essbase application (essbase export format, so no dataload). We are using "execute in background" option.
If the file contents no unknown member : it is correctly loaded.
If the file contents an unknown member : the data load is never terminated : we have killed it after more than 15 hours, and the request is still in "terminating" so we have to kill the essbase process on the server. No error message or file.
Thanks in advance for your help
Fanny

Hi
I try to start this discussion again, because we still have the same problem, and no idea of why (no idea from the Oracle support too) and my client is waiting for an explanation :-/
So, some more details :
Context :
I have an export (essbase format) from a database.
If I import this file in a database with all the members used in the file => no problem. The dataload takes around 10 seconds.
If I import this file in a database with all the members used in the file, excepted 1 => problem. The data load never ends and I have to kill the Essbase application on the Essbase server.
I have done another test :
I have imported the file in a database with all the members used in the file (so no problem).
I have exported level-0 data in columns.
I have imported this new file in the database with all the members used in the file, using a DLR => no problem. The data load takes around 10 seconds, with a dataload.err generated.
So, John, you are right, the client shoud really use a column format export. But I need to explain to him why he cannot (not should not) use an export format.
If using an export format is possible : I have to identify my problem and make the right modification to solve the problem.
If it not possible : this is a bug, and it is not my responsability anymore and I can close the project!
Thanks in advance for your great ideas!
