Possible conflict with iTunes 7 and non-admin account

I've tried burning cd's in my usual windows account (limited) and it comes up with the error message "disc burner or software not found", but when I log into my admin account and try and burn an mp3 then it burns just fine. I wonder if they changed the way version 7 burns cd's...
Any solutuions or fixes?

I'm not really looking for a way to roll it back. I was just hoping to find a fix for the current version, or make them aware that there is a problem with running it in a non-admin account.
Thanks for the info though!

Update iTunes from non-Admin account?

I had to install iTunes from an admin account, but I use it from an non-admin account. When I get the message that there is a new version available, can I upgrade from the non-admin account? I don't want to try it without knowing because I don't want to corrupt anything. I'm on Windows XP.

No, you log out of you limited user account and update from an administrator account.
Personally I don't trust updating from within iTunes and I always download the installer and save it on my PC before running it.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
As I am rather paranoid, I make copies of iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml before updating, do this with iTunes closed. But iTunes should make a backup of its own when updating. Unfortunately if you have to update from an account that is not your usual one, it will backup the library of the account you update from, not the one you want.
Added : Actually I may be wrong in my last point. If the backup is made when you first open iTunes and it converts the library, you may be OK. But I would make a copy anyway.

Find my mac and non-admin account

Hello all,
so, on my macbook pro I have 2 user accounts. One is the administrator account, that I don't normally use to work. The other is a non-admin regular account which is what I log into every day for my work.
Today I upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and went to configure iCloud, using the regular account. I saw that I could not select Find my mac as administrative authorization was required.
Fair enough, so I logged out and logged back into the administrator account, went to iCloud settings, and sure enough I was able to check find my mac. I was asked for confirmation, said ok, then closed system preferences and logged out of the administrator.
I then logged again into my normal account, and went to check the iCloud settings. I expected to see that Find my mac would be selected (although not modifiable from this account). Instead, it was not checked. Going to iCloud.com's "Find my iPhone" panel showed a message that no device was configured.
So, am I getting something wrong? Do I actually have to be logged in as an administrator to let Find my mac work? Note that, even logging in as the administrator, if I go to iCloud.com I still see that no device is configured.
Thanks for any suggestions. Cheers.

I have the same setup as yourself (standard user for everyday use, admin user for software install and system settings change) and I was able to set up FMM in the admin account with no problems, except some pre-requisites: while logged in to the admin profile you have to 1) install the Lion HD Recovery Update, 2) enable location services in the Security & Privacy PrefPane and 3) enable Wake For Network Access in the Power Adapter section of the Energy Saver PrefPane.
I didn't want to set up iCloud sync in the admin profile but Apple made me to. Anyway, it seems I don't have to stay logged in to the admin account for FMM to work.
I hope this helps.

Problem with iTunes and multiple user accounts in Windows

I am running iTunes on a PC (Windows XP) and have multiple user accounts. When I switch between user accounts and try to open iTunes, I get a message that tells me I can't open the program because another user is using it. Is it really true that I can only have iTunes open in one user account at a time on a PC with multiple user accounts ?!? If not, what am I doing wrong?

You are right, can only have one open. You have to log out of a user before logging in to another user to use iTunes. Do not use the fast user switching ability of Windows.

Lost itunes on non admin accounts

I just got my computer back from Apple Care. A new logic board was installed and they also loaded Leopard and ilife 08. My photos and music are fine and I am the administrator but my kids accounts won't load itunes. The error message states their files are in the music folder but then states they don't have privileges to access the files even after I made them administrators. I dread being on hold with Applecare for an entire evening and hate the thought of going back to the store. Anyone here have a quick fix I can try?

Hi all,
Please see the following article that may address this issue:
http://www.adobe.com/go/624850b5
“After successful installation under the Windows
Administrator account, Restricted User accounts are unable to
display Flash Player content.”
This issue is never encountered with a new install of
Windows. It is sometimes encountered with older images and it is
strictly an issue with the ActiveX installer not for plug-ins.
Please reply to this thread with your results. If the
registry fix mentioned on this article helps, we will update the
document to reflect that it is still an issue.

PE13 on Windows 8.1 and non-admin or UAC issues?

Before I try to evaluate Premiere Elements 13 64-bit, I want to ask if lingering problems related to UAC and non-admin user accounts were resolved since version 11.
It's good to see a 64-bit version of Elements come out since then.

Gordon Fecyk
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? For now I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Not sure what you mean by:
It's good to see a 64-bit version of Elements come out since then.
assume you mean version 11. So in that case....
Premiere Elements Windows 10, 11, 12, and 13 are 64 bit applications when installed and run on specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. Other Windows versions are 32 bit applications in 32 bit system or 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of 64 bit system. On the Mac side of things, it is my recollection that Premiere Elements 11 Mac was the first to be a 64 bit application when run on Mac 64 bit system.
It is my understanding that nothing has changed over the versions with regard to Premiere Elements and the matter of "UAC and non-admin accounts". Probably Microsoft would be a good source on that. Recent threads seem to suggest that Premiere Elements is not working with Domain accounts.
This is not Adobe. Rather a user to user forum. If you want to contact Adobe about your feature requests, you could consider the Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Form.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
When you have specific problems with aspects of your Premiere Elements 13 purchased or tryout, we would be glad for the opportunity to be of assistance. Definitely recommend tryout before purchase to assure the compatibility of your program with your specific computer environment and your project goals.

Problems with libraries and plugins - non admin account

I''ve got a couple of problems with a fresh install of photoshop on my windows Windows 7 64 bits system.
1. Libraries panel does not work. It displays the following error and interaction is not possible:
2. 3rd party plugins would load their content.
3. In the Creative Cloud Application the apps tab would load and displays the "download error" message:
The funny thing is that all the above errors don't occur on the loacl admin account. So I think this might be a permission problem. I think the most easy sollution would be to work under the admin account, but sadly that's no option (company policy). I am able to extent the rights of the useraccount I work on, but I don't know in wich folders the software needs write permissions. The both Adobe folders in program files and program files (x86) I already changed to full acces for all users. Can someone please help me?

This is a permissions Error. The other accounts on the computer do have permissions to use / change the administrator settings of these particular items.
There are two ways you can fix this. 1.) contact the admin of the system and let him know your accounts need read access to these items
My Preferred method is:
If you are on a Windows Account, then you can choose those items to run in Administrator mode for all people. ( win7,64bit )
Right click the infinity system for creative cloud (creative cloud icon - you would normally click to start the program. (not the one in your service tray, but the one in your menu area with the square red on it.
choose/click on properties
choose/click compatibility (tab at the top of the window)
Last boxed option on this screen is: Run Program As Administrator, Click that check box.
Click on Change Settings for All Users
in the window that comes up again choose, put an X in the box- the last option, Run Program As Administrator - Click Apply
Click OK
Click OK and the opened preferences window should now be closed.
You should be able to simply invoke the Cloud app now. But you might want to reboot to safe.
Depending on the installation methods used for your add-ons, you may have to perform this same process for all add-ins. I believe that would depend on which account, first installed the add-on and what level of permissions they have.
Good Luck

ITunes sharing on Vista non-admin account

I've looked fairly hard and can't find any reference to exactly this problem. Any ideas?
Setup is a home network of 3 macs and 2 pc laptops, based around a NetGear DG834Gv2. 2 macs running 10.5.4, other mac running Tiger, PCs running Vista. All updates applied.
All iTunes sharing works across all machines except that the Vista laptops won't access the shared music on the other machines when using a non-admin account. They work fine when logged in as admin but give "can't access shared library (-39), Check firewall allows access to port 3689" etc. when logged in as normal user. The Windows Firewall is off and I've tried turning off the Norton firewall that was pre-installed as part of the security setup - no different.
The macs can see the music shared from the PCs - just not the other way round.
Help!
Thanks,
Pete

You'll notice that, even though FMM has been configured on the admin account, it will still appear as "authorization required" in the standard account.
I hope this helps.

Screen sharing to OS X Lion Server with non-admin account

I have set up a Lion Server with one admin (in addition to the root user) and several non-admin normal accounts. In Server.app, I have enabled remote login with ssh, and remote management via screen sharing. I am unable to use Screen Sharing to connect to the server from the non-admin accounts, but able to use the admin account. I've read that it is only enabled for admin users, but need to access from non-admin accounts, and I can't add these accounts to the admin group. Is there a way to do this with Workgroup Manager? I tried changing the Remote Management settings in System Preferences by adding the non-admin, but when selecting 'Observe' and 'Control' in the options for the user, they are not saved.

I resolved this issue by deselecting the "Enable screen sharing and remote management" in Server.app and going to System Preferences, Sharing Preferences, Screen Sharing, and allowing access for "All Users". If you have some users you want to allow VNC, you can create a group, add the allowed users to the group, and add the group under "Only these users".

How to run admin tasks with non-admin account ?

Hello,
The title says it all: I want to allow some non-administrative accounts to run admin tasks which must be run as root.
A solution would be to use 'sudo' and give rights to those non-admin accounts on the binaries used by the tasks. But I notably use 'chmod' and 'chown' in those tasks, and I would not want to give to non-admin accounts rights to run those commands as root outside the admin task scripts. But from my understanding of 'sudo', if I do it, non-admin accounts will be able to use chmod and chown outside the scripts. Is this right ?
The sid bit could have been a solution I think, but sadly it is not supported on Mac OSX 10.5.
Thanks

I am trying to use the sudo route add command in a script, which should run as part of a vpn connection config file. I get an unable to run script error in the log.
I searched and found the following older discussion
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1986808
I tried that but I get a syntax error when trying to save the sudoers file I chose to save anyway.
Tried to run the command from the terminal and got the following error
postdrop warning: unable to look up public/pickup:no such file or directory.
Can you give me an example of your sudoers file with the correct syntax etc.
Thanx

Sudo with non-admin account.

Is it possible to add a non-admin user to Sudo-ers list? If so, where/which file should i be adding it? I am trying to use mysql on a non-admin account and need to use sudo sometimes while trying to setup/modify things. Any help is appreciated.

Look up the man pages for sudoers (a file listing which users may execute what) & visudo (to edit the sudoers file) for answers to your questions.

Apple Remote won't work with Non-admin account :-(

Hi all,
i have a Macbook (OS version 10.5.4). Earlier there was only one account on this laptop, and i was using it as an administrator. A few days ago i decided to convert that account to a regular (non-admin) one, and created a separate admin-only account. When i tried using my Apple Remote in the non-admin account, it wouldn't work at all ! So i tried it in the admin account, and i was able to use it and paired it with this macbook.
But on logging back into the regular account, it has stopped working again (even though System Preferences>Security says the macbook is paired with a remote). Please help!! It would be especially helpful if this could be fixed without having to create & migrate to a whole new account, etc... i'm open to command-line solutions [ that won't crash the machine ]
Thanks a million !
..meghana

Never mind. i logged out of the non-admin account and into the admin account, unpaired and re-paired the remote. Then logged back into the non-admin account, and voilà! Its magic i tell you! hope this helps any other people who have the same problem.

System PATH environment variable issue when user log off and log in or switch from admin to non-admin account

Hi,
Problem Description:
After installing my new product version, when user does log-off and log in again into admin account
or switch from admin account to non-admin account, PATH environment variable shows incorrect path of my product (previous product version’s path) using command prompt.
It seems windows refresh issue during session changes (log off and log in / switch from Admin to
Non-admin account).
Why PATH environment variable is not refresh immediately after log off and log in again or Switch
from admin to non-admin mode?.
Please see my thread for more details http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/445ab42c-bdff-405a-8d53-558e1b6c7d34/path-environment-variable-issue-when-user-logoff-and-login-or-switch-from-admin-to-nonadmin?forum=windowsgeneraldevelopmentissues
Also submitted bug for this in connect.microsoft.com portal.In that it has lots of information
like problem statement, Reproduction steps and Expected Results.
Bug ID: 871782
Could you please any body help me for this?. your support will be appreciated.

Why PATH environment variable is not refresh immediately after log off and log in again or Switch
from admin to non-admin mode?.
I wouldn't have any expectation of what you are doing to work the way you expect. E.g. why is the %ABC% being replaced at all? There is some help about this ambiguous scenario in the cmd help...
/V:ON Enable delayed environment variable expansion using ! as the
delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the
variable var at execution time. The var syntax expands variables
at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR
loop.
/V:OFF Disable delayed environment expansion.
So, what's the setting for the /V: switch that your users would be using? Perhaps you should be using the ! instead of the % for your ABC variable?
Oh. There's more below where I found that...
Delayed environment variable expansion is NOT enabled by default. You
can enable or disable delayed environment variable expansion for a
particular invocation of CMD.EXE with the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. You
can enable or disable delayed expansion for all invocations of CMD.EXE on a
machine and/or user logon session by setting either or both of the
following REG_DWORD values in the registry using REGEDIT.EXE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
and/or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
to either 0x1 or 0x0. The user specific setting takes precedence over
the machine setting. The command line switches take precedence over the
registry settings.
In a batch file the SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION or DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
arguments takes precedence over the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. See SETLOCAL /?
for details.
If delayed environment variable expansion is enabled, then the exclamation
character can be used to substitute the value of an environment variable
at execution time.
So, I guess the essence of your "bug" will boil down to whether you
need the feature to get the result you want and the
truth of that first sentence but it certainly looks like a "can of worms" to me. ; )

I shall open delete my present account with iTunes and open a new one - but I do not have the password. How can I then delete the present account??

Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID). That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

What?
You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
No, this will not work.
Just create a network with your notebook.
