One account has corrupted ColorSync (or something) help!

Well, I presume it's something with ColorSync, but that's just a guess. Here's the deal:
THE PROBLEM
In my normal user account, display profiles suddenly went haywire after I returned from a trip with my MacBook Pro. When I got back to my external display, no color profiles were working in anything outside of Photoshop, Lightroom, or Aperture. For example, I could no longer get a match when viewing a tagged photo in side-by-side windows of Photoshop and Preview, whereas I could prior to my trip.
MY TROUBLSHOOTING
So I tried creating a new user account and discovered that everything works fine there. Any and all color profiles work there as they should, allowing tagged images viewed in Preview or in browsers to match what I'm seeing when the same images are opened in Photoshop, Aperture, or Lightroom. Those same profiles do not work in the old account. No profiles work in the old account, not even generic ones.
MY SITUATION
Here's the embarrassing part. I dumped my Time Machine files about three months ago in a disk space emergency and never got it going again. Since then I've done only manual backups of important files and no backups of any system stuff. My bad, I know.
So, short of starting completely from scratch in that new user account, is there anything I can do to try to fix the problem? I don't want to lose my old account and all that goes with it. I can't even fathom the idea of having to recreate all of my preferences, keychain info, etc. Ugh.
Help!

Thanks for the reply. For some reason, I didn't receive an email alert that anyone had replied and ended up starting over from scratch in the new user account. Now i have a bunch of other problems with this new account and am about to post a thread in the hopes that I can get it all sorted out.

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

When I try to sign in the iCloud it says " the maximum number of free accounts has been used" or something to that affect. Any suggestions ?

Sure. You can do it on a Mac at the following website: https://appleid.apple.com/account

You can continue to use them as Apple ID's, change the rescue address (as you know)
You can use your iCloud address, but it won't be an alias, it's a full email address.

I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up did not go through, so I set up again and I ended up with two accounts instead of one. How can I manage to have only one account now? Thanks for the help.

I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up dod not go through, then I set up again and ended up with two wireless accounts. I use it for the prointer and the iPad, and I can see both accounts in the iPad. How do I get rid of one account? Thanks for the help!

me.com accounts can be used for iCloud. See the FAQ section in:
<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895>
but it may be too late if you have already created a new AppleID.
A few years ago Apple said they were working on allowing account merging, but it never happened (maybe objections from copyright holders).

I am having problems with my hotmail email and new software update. It keeps asking me for my password even though the email account has been verified. Please help

It keeps asking me to re- enter the password. Is there something that I am doing wrong, the account has been verified but as soon as I exit out of settings it will ask me to re-enter my password.

I have done this and keeps saying the same thing. I have even tried setting my account through Microsoft exchange but no luck

One imac, two iphones. one account has current itunes, other side will not download current itunes. Downloaded from apple website, did not help. help?

We have one imac, two iphones, two imac/iphone user accounts. My account updated itunes and the phone quite easily. The other side will not update itunes - it shows there is an update available, then says there is not. I tried installing from the apple store. It installed, but did not change the version of itunes active on the computer (we even turned it off and on, a la Windows). SO we synced his phone with my side - it updated the OS, but otherwise restored the phone to factory settings. (he is not happy). So I tried to restore it from a backup on his side just to see what would happen, and of course it can't because the phone's software is more current that his itunes.
So we're in a maddening loop. Factory settings, no updated itunes, no access to the backups.

The feed is fine. The problem lies with the URL for the media files. I checked the latest episode; the file will play in a browser, and as you say on the iTunes Store; but when subscribing there is an error message that the file requires authentication.
This would happen if you had password-protected it, but that would also appear when playing in a browser. The use of PHP or similar to serve the files is asking for trouble - sometimes it works, sometimes it upsets either the Store or subscribing or both. In this case it would seem that either the scripting is throwing iTunes and leading it to believe that a password is required (though it's not bringing up the pane asking for one), or your server is reacting differently to requests from the iTunes application to the way it reacts to requests from the Store or a browser, where the protocol is different.
It's not an iTunes problem. Strictly you should be putting the actual URL of the file in the feed, not a script; and you may need to check your server settings top make sure it allows downloading in iTunes as well as playing elsewhere.

8100 Pearl - emails being delayed for just one account!??!? HELP!!!

Can someone help me with this problem please?
I have a Pearl 8100 which has two HOTMAIL accounts on it, let's call them A and B.
I can send emails for A and B and the person gets them straight away.
However if someone sends me an email, to both A and B HOTMAIL account, only B gets it straight away, A gets it hours later.
I have reset the accounts, sent new services books, everything, I just don't know why this is happening and it's only been happening this last week, before it was instantaneous.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
I've been testing it all week by sending an email from my work email account to both addresses at the same time but only one gets it straight away. I can send without any problems!
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

We use different email accounts but they are synced using mobileme. We are not losing incoming emails on our computers, just on our iphones. Our @me.com mail account is not losing messages either, just our personal email accounts. I am thinking of deleting them from our phones and starting over again.

I have three user accounts on one computer. On only one account when I when I check Help - About fire fox only one user account says apply update and won't apply. The other two work fine.

One of three user accounts on the same computer appears to not be updating to 8.0.1 correctly. One admin and one none admin user account says it is up-to-date. The other non-admin user account, under Help About Firefox says apply update, but won't.

As long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications. There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
Each user account is able to run the Office apps. The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder).

My iphone 4s has 4 email accounts which syn with my Mac air until today.One account has frozen.

Pls Help?

It's hard to help when your statement makes absolutely no sense.
What EXACTLY is wrong?

Please help. "You cannot sign in because your account has been locked apple"

Hi,
Today i've tried to login to App Store but i've got this notice message : "You cannot sign in because your account has been locked apple".
please help.
thanks you

Try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they can tell you why it's locked and if they can/will unlock it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Can't access files from one account to another on same Mac

I've got a new macbook and I've divided it into two accounts. One account has all my iTunes music but the other is a fresh iTunes with no music.
I've been trying to get access to the music from the other account. It seems like it should be easy as it's already on this computer. I've tried copying the iTunes folder into the public folder and going to the other account and copying it to it but that's not working.
I've also tried sharing the files from the Sharing sys prefs. But can't get that to work. And I've also put the Music folder into the Shared folder and still nothing.
The folders I need have the red minus on them.
I must be missing something simple. Help!
Thanks.

wireduck,
Highlight the music folder and on the keyboard type (Command) + i: on the window that opens scroll down if need and click on the lock on the bottom right. Type in an Admin User name and password. Then under the (Sharing & Permissions:) make sure the users you want to open the folder are listed and that there (Privilege) is set to @ least Read. If not hit the ( + ) sign and add them. After you have that all set up click on the little gear next to the ( - )s sign and (Apply to a enclosed items). that way each user can read the files. After that the little ( - ) sign should be gone on the folders.
Hope that helps.

ITunes window missing in one account

Good afternoon:
We have a shared iMac with three accounts. As of yesterday, one account has no iTunes window. The other two accounts work normally. In this third account, when you start iTunes either by attaching an iPod or by opening the application manually you see the iTunes menus across the top, the iPod syncs including the address book, etc, but there is no window. Clicking "show browser" makes no difference except that at that point the choice in the menu becomes "hide browser".
I can't find it minimized and there are no other open windows.
I fear this is, once again, something stupid, but I would appreciate it if any of you would let us knowhow to find the window again. Thank you

Thanks for such a complete and dramatically fast answer. As always, this place is full of the most helpful folk.

I have two mail accounts using mac mail. One account goes offline for no apparent reason. Check mailbox menu all accounts online, password correct, etc. but still can't get back

one account goes offline for no apparent reason. I check Mailbox drop down menu for Take all accounts online, check correct password OK, turn mail off and on, reboot computer, etc. Nothing seems to work. Has happened in the past, but has also "fixed itself" after unknown time periods. One account has not been working now for awhile. I would like to get to the bottom of this.

Hello,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

My itunes will not let me log in because it says that the account has not been used before. How can I fix this?

My itunes on my computer will not let me log in, because it says that the account has never been used. Help me.

Hello zahler4,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! This is a common alert message when your Apple ID has not yet been configured for use with the iTunes Store. To configure it, you should have the option to “Review” - at which time you can add a payment method to your account. For more information, check out this resource:
Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201762
When using the store for the first time, you must provide a payment method. After you configure the account you can change your payment information to None:
