Mouse won't scroll for one User but works for another

I recently updated to a new Imac and restored the computer from time machine from our old IMac which didn't have mountain lion update.  All works fine except when logged onto our Kids account the mouse wont scroll pages by sliding finger on the mouse. Tried changing in Preferences when logged on to this user to no avail. Mouse scrolls perfectly when logged on as Administrator.

Hi Mick, this is a new one on me!?
Were these Kids' account migrated from the older OS version? If so I suspect some 3rd party app that is no longer working in 10.8
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD into one of those accounts, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Also look in System Preferences' Other row.

  • Airplay works for one user but not for another on the same machine

    I have the problem where airplay works for one user but not for another and both users are on the same machine.  For the user where it does not work, everything appears normal, it's just that there is no sound being transmitted.  I have tried restarting the Airport express, restarting iTunes, repairing disk permissions.  Any ideas about what can be done to resolve this?

  • 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..

  • Program won't launch on Mac for one user but will for another

    We just installed a new program (that is Java based) that we are about to start using in our office. It is the WorkFlows client from SirsiDynix. It works fine on my MAC but 2 other users in our office have MACs and it won't launch. We have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.  We created another user on one of the computers and installed the program and it launches fine. Both users are Administrators. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the program but still no luck. We have ran the Repair Permissions utility on the HD. Is there a tool or software that we can use to compare permissions or settings of the 2 users to find out why the program won't run under one of them?
    We have Mac Mini OS X version 10.9.5
    Thanks for any help you can give.

  • Safari won't open for one user but does for other

    I have 2 users on my mac. Out of nowhere, the Safari application will not open when I am logged in but works fine with my other user (where I am currently writing from). When I'm logged in, it hangs but the application never opens...just the searching colored ball over the application headings at the top making have to force quit to do anything else. I have the most recent version of everything and haven't even updated or installed anything within the last week. Just stopped working. I've read many different suggestions about removing plug ins and other files from various libraries. I do not have the Leopard install disks to try re-installing as it was installed at the genius bar for me as my DVD drive does not read any install disks. I'm at a total loss. How can it work with one user and not another--it's the same computer...Thanks.

    OK--So I kept searching through all the discussions for other possible solutions....each time removing some file and putting it on my desktop and trying again. Well something worked. I have the following folders now on my desktop that were removed
    Hard drive > Users > Your username > Library > Safari > Downloads.plist
    Hard drive > Users > Your username > Library > Safari > History.plist
    Hard drive > Users > Your username > Library > Safari > formvalues
    Hard drive > Users > Your username > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
    Hard drive > Users > Your username > Library > Cookies > cookies.plist
    Hard drive > Library > InputManagers
    Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > InputManagers
    Hard drive > Users > Your username> Library > Caches > com.apple.safari
    Hard drive > Users > Your username> Library > Caches >Metadata > Safari
    The last file I dragged to the desktop was the form values folder. No idea what actually worked but it's up and running and actually moving faster than before.
    Question now is do I trash all these folders I dragged out to the desktop? Or do some need to go back? Any other safari maintenance I should do now that it's open? I emptied the cache and cleared the history. Just trying to be preventative. Thanks iBod for your suggestions and I hope this helps someone else as it appears that many have had this issue.

    Both userprofiles have different settings/desktops/etc.
    Meanwhile i did the following:

    - uninstalled the program
    - used CCClean to cleanup registry (and other stuff)
    - reboot and logon with secondary userprofile
    - used CCClean to cleanup registry (and other stuff)
    - reboot and logon again with primary userprofile
    - install the webcam software
    - reboot and logon with primary userprofile
    - test webcamsoft, it works
    - reboot and logon with secondary userprofile
    - webcam still doesn't work
    any suggestions???

  • No backlight for one user, but fine for another

    One of my students' iBooks has no backlight when he is logged in, although the screen is fine when logged in as a teacher. When I go in the student's prefs, the brightness slider in the display settings doesn't do anything. It slides back and forth, but nothing changes. Also, F1 and F2 don't do anything. The sun icon shows up and the bars work properly, but nothing happens to the screen. I reset the PMU and that didn't do anything. I'm not the administrator for these school computers, so my access is somewhat limited (ie, I can't get into the terminal), but our tech guy can't figure this out. He thinks the student sabotaged the settings, but I can't figure out what he could have done.
    And my eyes are killing me from trying to look at this dim screen! Help!

    Could the student have set a 'dim screen image' as a full screenshot
    and have that load as a startup item so it's on there until certain key
    commands are used to revert to a normal desktop? Sometimes a
    person can just use Preview and put it on full screen to make the
    real Finder/Desktop quite hard to access or use, unless you know it.
    I've found I can set almost anything as a desktop. One item that would
    have someone wondering, is an image of my desktop with iTunes on.
    There is a menu bar and a Dock on the far right side; the rest of the
    screen is iTunes in Visualizer, to the edges. This, as a full screen
    capture, leaves one the impression the whole desktop has frozen.
    The same could be done with almost any image; even a black one.
    I've not tried to get an image to load this way as a startup item in
    a user account. But I think it could be done; perhaps in single user.
    Though I doubt it could be as simple as this, the answer may be
    something surprisingly uncomplicated to do; harder to resolve.
    There may be a way to (as an Admin) remove the dysfunctional
    user account entirely; perhaps even save some of the settings to
    a new account, or possibly a student's work, if actually needed.
    Limiting lesser user accounts to a few applications and not give
    them access to change much of anything is a feature in OS X.
    In any event, hope the issue gets worked out OK.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Office 2008 Setup Assistant Loop for one user, but not for another

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to a MacBook Air and migrated everything across using Migration Assistant via WiFi.
    Seems to have gone fine but found that my wife can't get any Office 2008 apps to start up. Word, Excel, etc start up in my account without a hitch but when we try to start any Office app in wife's account the Setup Assistant pops up, asks if we'd like to participate in feedback, then asks to choose to register or learn more. No matter what we choose the Microsoft Updater pops up and prompts to check for updates after this the app closes. We are forever in this loop of trying to open an Office app, checking for updates and then the app closing down. And the app closes even if I quit Setup Assistant and/or Microsoft Updater.
    I've tried dumping various plists but not luck.
    Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated.

    Another copy of this question turned up a couple of weeks later and has been answered. Basically, you have to reinstall Office 2008 from the original media.

  • Quick time works for one user but not for another

    I transferred my user info from my old computer to my son's newer computer. My old computer was running 10.3x and quicktime wasn't working. The genius bar folks couldn't figure out how to fix it. (All quicktime files come up with the logo with question mark.)
    New computer (newer) is running 10.4. Stuff all transferred fine. Problem transferred too.
    Old user signs in, quicktime works fine. I sign in, quicktime broken.
    How do I figure this out?

    Inside your hard drive, in the Users folder should be your user home folder (with your account name.) Within that folder is a folder called Library... open that and look for a QuickTime folder within, pull that QuickTime folder out to the Desktop. Do the same for Internet Plug-ins. Then, open Preferences and pull out com.apple.quicktime... (all of them) and the QuickTime Preferences file.
    Then log out (Apple menu) and back in (or restart) and try again!

  • 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.

  • Safari works for one user but not another on same computer

    MacBook with multiple user accounts. Safari (and Firefox) work fine for one user but are unable to open web pages when the other user is logged in. The error in Safar is "Safari can't open the page "http://xxxxxxxxx/" because it could not connect to the server "/xxxxxxx/" . DNS is working for this user. I am able to ping any number of sites from Terminal. Network Preference pane is configured to not require any proxy. This is a case of it was working but now it's not.
    Can anybody help with this? I know I can fix this by simply creating another user and transfering the affected user's data to the new account but I would rather not. TIA

    HI Bob,
    You can test your settings by clicking the big "Test My DNS" button at <https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy>. If you see "Poor" on any of the tests, don't use that domain name server! Remove it from Apple Menu => System Preferences =>Network =>DNS Servers or similar location in your router if you've got a 'home network'. If all you have is "poor" DNS servers in your list, call your ISP and insist that they give you the address of a name server which is protected against the recently exposed DNS cache-poisoning threat.
    Also, open System Preferences/Network. Click the DNS tab. Add these numbers in the DNS Servers box.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC launches for some users, but crashes for others.

    I am troubleshooting an issue in a college computer lab. Adobe Premiere Pro CC launches perfectly for some users, but crashes for others. All computers are joined to a domain. The program launches successfully under faculty and admin accounts. It launches under my student account and will launch for some students in the class. There are, however, some students who cannot get the program to launch. Each time it fails when attempting to load ImporterQuickTime.prm.

    I did check Quicktime and it is not updated to the most recent version. However, if it was a result of Quicktime not being up to date, why can some accounts launch the program while others cannot. I have also updated the graphics driver on one computer. No change. I compared my student Active Directory account to that of one student who could not launch the program. They are in exactly the same place in AD and therefore have the same permissions on the domain. This is a puzzling issue and the instructor is getting frustrated. Any help or suggestions with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
