Mail cashing immediatly when logged in as second user.

I try to create a first time user account in mail for my sister.
This is on my brother in law's (BIL) Macbook dualcore.
So BIL has his account and sister also
Both have admin. rights (?) and BIL uses mail already.
When I log in on my sister's desktop by quickswitch and I try to open mail; it will not, instead the "mail stopt unexspected" window opens.
Same happens when I log out Bil and try again.
I did delete de pref. mail file, but no changes.
Just for the record: iChat does the same, and safari disappears after a few clicks.
So something must be wrong.

Why does terminal behave differently when logged in as different users?

when I'm logged into my mba as my regular normal user, bash behaves normally; but when I create a new user or use any user other than my default the behavior is different. (might be bash or sh)
Specifically, the tab autocomplete function works fine when I'm logged in as my regular user (tab-complete; tab twice for all available selections/options).
But on a newly-created user (also an admin) there is no tab complete, no 'tab twice, other options' etc.
Has anyone else seen this?
I searched in this forum and found some instructions for creating an .inputrc file but I don't appear to have one on my default user so not sure why I would need this on the new user ?!?!?
p.s. here are the instructions I found previously via a post on this forum:
http://www.ernieflores.net/osx-page-4/how-to-enable-tab-completion-in-mac-os-x-t erminal/

Application won`t start - starts when logged in as another user

An application created by Unity doesn`t start. When I double click (or right mouse click and choose `open`) nothing happens. However, when I log in as another user, or when I try to run the same program from a flash drive, it works. I tried a lot, including repairing permissions, but nothing helped.
Thanks in advance !

Try logging into your user while holding down the shift key on your keyboard, to supress any startup items that may be interfering with your program.
If that does not do it, look for a preference file in you user folder by choosing the Go menu from the Finder and selecting Go to Folder and enter ~/Library/Preferences and checking for files having to do with your application. If there are any, move them to your desktop and try again.
If that does not fix it, move them back, replacing the new ones that will be built. Also, if your program uses any data files or libraries when started up, try removing those. Again, if not fixed, put them back.

Local apps crash when logged in as Xserve user - HELP!

I run a new elementary school mac lab: 24 eMacs (OS 10.4.2) as managed users/groups with remote home directories on an Xserve. We run the programs locally and save to the server. Many of our apps are crashing leaving the OS fine. These are new OSX educational titles from various quality vendors including The Learning Company (Kid Pix Deluxe 4, Storybook Weaver Deluxe) and Tom Snyder Productions (Neighborhood Map Machine). And these are the only apps run so far! Our eMacs have 512 MB Ram. I use an iMac G5 with 1GB Ram as the instructor. These apps quit ALOT; however, when logged in as an administrator to the local machine, the apps do NOT quit. I've tried the various solutions posted in the Tiger discussions regarding font removal and system cache cleaning...to no avail. I'm beginning to think it may be server-related. HELP!!!

"System Administrator" is the system access for the xserve. "Administrator" is your system access for the user/client computers, when logged in as that, it allows you access to the system "no restriction". I use one "name" for system access for all servers and clients on campus. I have alot of older applications that we run that have their own issues but not permissions, they run under OS 9. Newer apps like Mavis Beacon16 and Carmen SanDiego I had to tweak, I run them server based. I assume you have Apple Remote Desktop running. Set one of your lab computers up as a back up administrator/tester with ARD and all the server apps installed. I had all my new iMac G5 go bad (Bad Capacitors) and they were my Admin computers. Tweak one app at a time, get it running the way you want it to. Have a student abuse/test the app. Once it works correctly shoot the app to the other clients via ARD. This way your only fixing on machine. Setting Read/Write is a quick fix to get them up and running, But you are opening up the applications to the students who a very creative and never read dialog boxes. If you leave them open you will have to reinstall them occasionally to get them working again. I have had students change the name of a file and the app quits working. That is the major problem of Read/Write.

could be a corrupt computer list. We have run into this quite a bit. Create a new computer list, not from a template, add the apps and see what happens.

ORACLE Not Available - only when logged on as another user

I can't figure out what I forgot. I installed everything (RH 6.1
and standard) and can login as internal from user oracle no
problems.
When I login from a user I have granted dba to I get Error
01034: ORACLE not Available. This is in sqlplus. I am sure it is
something obvious as I had it working before my 5th reinstall.

Jon,
Are you sure that the Database is started? You will get this
error if it isn't.

Adobe Illustrator file will not display correctly when logged in as a user

I am working with an Adobe Illustrator CS2 file that will open and display correctly if I log in as Administrator, but will not display correctly if I am logged on as a user. The error message is that there is not enough memory to display the file correctly and I am forced into preview mode. The user Home folder is on a server. Other than this, I have made certain that the criteria for opening the file match under both interfaces. I have opened the AI CS2 file on other Macs and it opens fine. I conclude that the problem is with the user Home folder, but beyond that, I'm stumped. Any help will be appreciated.

Acrobat 9.5.0 - when logged in as ONE user unselect "Display PFD in browser" don't work

Have Acrobat standard v9.5.0 running on Win7 - 64 bits. All up to date patched. On one user I can not let PDF files downloaded from the Internet open in an external window. I in the Preference I have unselected "Display FDP in browser". Then I can see the file is downloaded, but never opened. I if select "Display FDP in browser" it is (now) OK. If I uninstall IE9 and am running IE8 or Firefox, everything is fine. It is also fine if I log in as another user.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat and reinstalled. Uninstalled IE9 and reinstalled. My conclusion is that there is something wrong with the registry HCU part for the "problem" user. I have deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0 but still I have problems.
My question is: Which part of registry controls IE9 and opening PDF files downloaded from internet? How can I find the "bad registry key" for the problem user?
Thanks in advance
Harald

Is IE9 Security preventing the download of the file? IE9 has a security feature that does this and pops a dialog at the bottom of the browser window, you might want to check it out.

Certain Java methods only available on Tomcat, when logged in as a user

Certain java methods are only available in a Tomcat webapp, when the Tomcat server is started in a terminal window, while the user is directly logged into the system
When one of those methods are called from a command line app, for a split second an app pops up in the dock, even though no UI-method is called directly.
For example include a method like javax.imageio.ImageIO.createImageInputStream into a servlet inside a tomcat webapp and start tomcat through a ssh-connection.
The servlet will crash with following exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class sun.java2d.Disposer
javax.imageio.stream.FileImageInputStream.<init>(FileImageInputStream.java:82)
javax.imageio.stream.FileImageInputStream.<init>(FileImageInputStream.java:57)
com.sun.imageio.spi.FileImageInputStreamSpi.createInputStreamInstance(FileImage InputStreamSpi.java:37)
javax.imageio.ImageIO.createImageInputStream(ImageIO.java:331)
com.sage.utility.ImageUtil.getFormatName(ImageUtil.java:76)
When Tomcat is started from a normal terminal window, while being logged into Mac OS, the very same method works without a problem.
It looks like the problem only exists on Mac OS X... on Linux it runs without a problem under the same configurations
I just noticed, that when the user logs out, the server will remain active, but another exception is raised:
Can't connect to window server - not enough permissions.
It looks like the reason for this is a crooked implementation of the java api by apple.
Since it doesn't really work for us, doing all out administration though screen sharing, I would love to hear, that there is a way around this.

When I login to second user account I get a blank white screen.

Just updated to 10.8.3, was also having issues that seemed to be related to Spotlight and TM backups. Issues on my main user account seem to have been resolved, but I have not reactivated Spotlight or TM yet.
When I try to login to my wife's user account, it just hangs on a white screen. I've tried repairing user permissions, and also resetting PRAM and NVRAM. Disk verify checks out fine.

Library/Fonts:
[A hole bunch, removed to shorten post...]
Does the problem account also have a lot of fonts in the home folder? That could be the reason for a login failure. Otherwise see below.
Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.
1. The changes to your configuration suggested here should be considered provisional; they may not solve your problem, or they may remove functionality that you find useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is causing the problem, seek help from its developer.
2. WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. If you’re dissatisfied with the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup. I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not be able to help, if you ignore this warning.
3. You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:
N/A
and definitely remove at least the following:
Logitech Control Center
† PeerGuardian
Hotspot Shield
† Conduit
4. Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Again, please don't ask me to do this research for you. You can do it better than I can, because I haven't installed the product and I may not even know what it is.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
5. I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future OS X updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.
6. If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.
You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow the instructions on this page:
Help Center | Community Toolbar
If those instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder…
Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
Repeat with this line:
/Applications/Toolbars
Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
/Library
Select Go to Folder… again and paste. Don't delete the Library folder. Delete only the following items inside it, if they exist.
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.

[SOLVED] XFCE4 Will Not Open When Logged On as Regular User

Please excuse me if I am being a noob, but I only installed ArchLinux yesterday. Whenever I run
startxfce4
as a regular user, the screen goes dark, flashes the Nvidia logo, then exits to a dialog box that reads:
Unable to load a failsafe session Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes: xfconfd isn't running (D-bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (msut include "/etc"), or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly."
When I check the output after I click "Quit" on the dialog box, the output at the end reads
gpg-agent[1538]:error creating '/home/mordecai/.cache/gpg-agent-info' : Permission denied (xfce4-session:1515): Pango-WARNING **:error opening config file '/home/mordecai/.config/pango/pangorc' : Permission denied
However, when I run
startxfce4
logged on as root, everything opens fine. Thanks for any help and/or pointers.

Also, when I try to start xfconfd it gives me this:
$ /usr/lib/xfce4/xfconf/xfconfd
(xfconfd:20910: xfconfd-CRITICAL **: Xfconfd failed to start: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
I also checked the environment variable $XDG-CONFIG-DIRS and it is set correctly, and the xfce4-session installation did not return any error messages.

IWeb '08 works when logged-in as 'root' user

Hi,
iWeb '08 converted my old sites and crashed. Since then, iWeb crashes when starting. I logged-out and logged-in as root, in this case iWeb can open my old sites. But, if I log-in again as usual (not root) then iWeb refuses to open my old sites... Any help?
follow-up:
I changed the permissions of 'Domain.sites2' and then iWeb seems to open it and suddenly crashes again...

I had a similar permission error message when attempting to publish, that also said that the disk could be full. Turned out to be that I had a mp3 file name with an equals and / sign in it - must have been an illegal character? The old iWeb didn't choke on it for some reason...
Might not apply to you, but I hope this helps -

Can operations continue to run when logged in as another user?

I've logged in as myself and I have set an operation to run, its going to run for a while and I would like the ability of my wife to log in. When you do this the operation pauses while logged in as her.
Can it continue to run at the same time?
