New user, same application settings and prefs

I want to create a new user account, but I would like to keep the same preferences and settings for certain applications, Mail, bookmarks in Safari, etc. from another account. I don't want to completely duplicate an account, but I would like to keep some things the same, and I don't want to have to go and manually re-enter everything I've set up, like, say, my Photoshop actions and color settings.
Can I do this? If so, how?

Created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.

I have created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. These accounts are for my kids and originally were setup with parental controls and time constraints. Thinking this was the problem I removed the time constraints, removed the parental controls, deleted and re-added them, and made them standard users. I have reinstalled, used disk utility to repair permissions, and made them admins. Any help is appreciated.

Users don't need Apple ID's. That's not the issue. Have you tried repairing permissions their accounts?

Repairing User Permissions in OS X Lion
You’ll need to reboot to perform this, and then use the same resetpassword utility that is used to change passwords in Lion, but instead choosing a hidden option.
When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions — it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder where your documents and personal applications reside.
In Lion, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys. You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

prefer-application-packages and prefer-web-inf-classes not working

Hi,
I'm upgrading to Weblogic 10.3.2 an application that was running quite fine in Weblogic 8. But I don't manage to get it working in WL 10. I'm getting a Class Not Found error (javax/xml/stream/XMLStreamWriter) but that class is in one of the jar files of my application: "<war-file>/WEB-INF/lib"
It seems a class loading problem but I'm using both <prefer-application-packages> and <prefer-web-inf-classes> and it's still not working. This is my weblogic-application.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<weblogic-application>
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>javax.xml.stream.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
</weblogic-application>
I'm deploying using an ear file wich contains a war file.

Hi!
We have the jar xbean-2.2.0.jar in APP-INF/lib. That one contains the class javax.xml.namespace.NameSpaceContext. I saw that the same class was in another jar as well. I've removed it from the second jar and now it's only in the xbean-2.2.0.jar. But I still get the same error. Maybe there is something wrong in my application.xml? I have all the jars in APP-INF/lib and in <war-file>/WEB-INF/lib

Will Migration Assistant application transfer my applications' settings and all my games' save file such as Spore and even ported games?

Will Migration Assistant application transfer my applications' settings and all my games' save file such as Spore and even ported games?

Hello:
Will Migration Assistant application transfer my applications' settings and all my games' save file such as Spore and even ported games?
I doubt if anyone can answer your question. With a new Mac, setup assistant opens the first time the system is turned on. One can also use migration assistant.
I have used both for several years and have never "lost" any data.
If you want to move, have a good backup and then do it.

TS3694 Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.

Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.

The issue you are experiencing is with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

Create new user same as a existing roles and Privileges

Hi Team,
I am a junior DBA. New user Joined in Application team. So, Client requested me.....
Crerate new user with same privileges as like as existing user.
As of now i am creating user like "create user username identified by "password". Then grant privileges to that user. earliar I never comapare or copied users.
Please suggest any one how to create new user as like as existing user roles and privileges.
Thanks,
Venkat

For basic cloning:
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('USER', '...') FROM DUAL;
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('ROLE_GRANT','...') FROM DUAL;
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('SYSTEM_GRANT','...') FROM DUAL;
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('OBJECT_GRANT','...') FROM DUAL;
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_granted_DDL(‘TABLESPACE_QUOTA’, ‘...’) FROM dual;
Then just replace the username with the new one you want to create.

How do I create new user table in program and then access it?

I am writing an application where I check for the existence of user objects when the add on starts and run the setup if the objects do not exist. I can create the user tables and fields but after the setup completes these objects still are not visible.
If the user objects exist when the add on is first run everything is detected correctly.
When a user object is added in SAP the user is eventually prompted to restart so I suspect something needs to happen prior to the add on being able to use the new fields.
Does the add on need to wait for the DI Server to perform some action? Do I need to just quit the add on's class and rerun it, disconnect and reconnect to the company, or get a new Application and/or company object?
What I want to do is figure out a way for the add on to automatically run the configuration if the user tables and fields do not exist yet and then kick off the regular add on code. I haven't seen anyone else's code so I don't know what is recommended or required here.
Thanks for any assistance!

I found that the add on can validate the existance of the user fields if I disconnect from the company object, set the SAPbouiCOM.Application and SAPbobsCOM.Company objects to null, set the new application, context, and company objects, and reconnect once more.
HOWEVER...
I still have to wait for the client to be restarted manually before I can run any of the form I added to the menu.
So, I'd still like to know what the best practice is here. Should I just exit after setting up the tables and tell the user to restart SAP?

Missing files, user folder, application folder and system folder

I am using a MacBook Pro 2011 model with OS X 10.9.4.
Since I bought the machine several years ago, I have had only a few small problems with it. Yesterday I wanted to reduce the size of a video, so I downloaded a video compressor/converter software, and left the computer on and the program compressing my video whilst I went off to work. When I returned home, the compressing program had a pop-up saying ''Could not complete compression, system full'' or something along those lines.... After trying to play the movie without success, I decided that I would restart my computer, as it had been on all day.
When the computer restarted, it came up with the grey loading bar, which usually comes up when I have done a software update. It disappeared quite soon and several minutes later, my user profile appeared. I logged in as normal, and then tried to open my browser. An error message popped up stating"Can't open user profile directory, because you lack sufficient privileges. You might want to contact the administrator of this machine". I then tried to open other programs and they all came up with similar messages and did not open. Skype stated "Can't create a lock file at Users/Lauren/Library...etc".
I then went to Finder to look at my applications and they were ALL GONE! Then I went to a folder I have with all my files called "My files", and although the primary folders were visible, "SCHOOL,WORK, HOLIDAYS PICS, etc", these folders were empty. I then checked my User folder, and my systems folder and these were empty too. However, the Desktop and Documents folders still contain the documents that were previously there, and my background images remained the same.
I tried to open Word, and although it is also missing from the applications folder, and it opened, also allowing me to open a document which I know is located within the 'empty' folders. I have a feeling that my documents and files are still on my computer, but I don't know how to access them!
Please if someone could shed light on the situation! All my work files and personal files are on this computer and I would be devastated to loose them!
Let me know if you need any more ino or screen shots!
Kind regards,
Lauren

OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
You need to start by doing the following:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Lost user account applications/settings

A friend partitioned the hard drive and create 2 separate user accounts. An application was not working on my account (Account 1) and I was also not able to access pictures and music on the second user account (Account 2). I logged into the second user account (Account 2) and dragged and dropped the entired user into the shared folder, figuring this would give my user account access (Account 1) to everything. Instead now I have lost all settings, applications, etc. on the second user account (Account 2). What have I done? How can I fix it?
G4 Power Book 17" Mac OS X (10.4)

Log back into the second user account and open the Users folder. From here, rename the folder with the house icon to something else. Next, open the Shared folder and hold down the Option key while dragging your old folder back to the top level of the Users folder. Select the copy you left in the Shared folder and choose Get Info from the File menu. Under Ownership & Permissions, set all three access settings to Read & Write.

InDesign 2014 Installion with Settings and Prefs Moving Over From old CC

A while back I installed InDesign 2014 as it became available. However, as the installation process and updating my preferences were not at all seamless, I deleted all the InDesign files, or so I thought, and went back to InDesign CC. I again attempted to install InDesign 2014 using the Creative Cloud App and this time it only installed a Plug-ins and Utilities folder inside an InDesign 2014 folder, no App and no other support files.
Please advice as how I can install InDesign 2014 using the Creative Cloud App, so it knows that it was installed, and move all my settings and Preference over to the new InDesign 2014?
Any assistance and help will be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you never UNINSTALLED InDesign CC 2014. You can do this by going to your Applications folder, opening the InDesign CC 2014 folder and running the Uninstaller. Then reinstall from the Creative Cloud desktop app.

I created a new user account on my imac because my husbands music kept showing up on my Itunes. When I opened up Itunes on the new user name, there was no music in my library. I signed in with my Itunes account. Why is the music that i paid for not there?

Because it's in your other account where it was purchased originally. Now you have a new account. There is nothing in the iTunes Library until you put it there.
iTunes- How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
iTunes- How to share music and video
iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
Sharing Stuff From Different iTunes Accounts (or Computers)
Here's how to do so using different computers:
Transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library on each computer. To transfer content from your library to another library do the following. We'll assume this is between husband and wife separate accounts and different Apple IDs.
Launch iTunes under your wife's login;
Sign her out of iTunes, then you sign in;
Select iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices -> Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected;
Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC;
Select Store -> Authorize this Computer (only have to do this once);
Select File -> Transfer Purchases (all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library);
When complete eject your phone, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
This way you can share content (permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same on your computer if you want to share content from your wife's library.
Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there.

Limit user access to settings and problematic options..

I don't want the user to have access to settings, and other options
they
should not be playing with.
Is there any way to do that with ZfH5 ?

I've added a new user to my computer and there doesn't seem to be any firefox connected to it. Do I have to install firefox for the new user also?

I went to set up a separate user for my child and when I was finished there was no Firefox icon . All it showed was Explorer. Do I have to download Firefox for every user? Please help?

Sounds that you didn't create a Firefox desktop icon for each user in the All Users group (C:\Users\All Users\Desktop), but only for the current user. You can either create a desktop shortcut to start Firefox on the desktop of your child to the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" program or create that shortcut for all users in the "C:\Users\All Users\Desktop" folder.
If you also need a Start menu entry that place a shortcut here:
"C:\Users\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox"

New user, same application settings and prefs
