Problem in only one account

*The "E" key does not work.*
The strange thing is: *the problem is only on the "Lawrence" account.*
We have:
1) Swapped out the keyboard.
2) Swapped out the USB extender
3) Removed the power connection for 1 min then replaced and re-booted
4) Swapped the USB port.
There was no change.
4) *Logged in as "Guest" and the "E" key works fine.*
5) *"E" key works on the password to log in as "Lawerence" but not in any of the programs (FCP, Word, Text Editor.)*
The only thing I can think is there is some kind of corruption within his account.....????
So the only thing I thought to do is to create another account for him, drag all of his working files to it. Still. This is pretty strange.
Any suggestions?

Try going to /Users/lawrence/Library/Preferences/ByHost and locate all of the com.apple.HIToolbox.XXXXXXXXXXXX.plist files. Trash them. Then log out/in and see if the problem persists.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

Only one account per mac

Originally, i'd used my intel macmini with my music match login and everything worked fine.
Then i created a new user for my wife and her different music match login on the macmini.
Finally, I have tried to setup my 2011, 15" MacPro laptop to be my main mac with my music match but it refuses to scan new music rips on this laptop.
When I changed the macmini to my wife's different music match account, I'd gotten some weird dialog saysing something like, You can only use one computer for your main music match and if you change you will not be able to use it for 90 days. This didn't make sense, then but now it does!
How can I fix this? We have paid for two different accounts but only one (my wife's) now accepts any non-iTunes store music!
I still have my thousand CDs if I have to re-rip all of my music but obviously, I don't want to if I don't have to.
Am I SOL because I gave her my old MacMini???
Is there some way I can deactivate MY account on her MacMini WITHOUT deactivating her account on that mac, as well? I don't want to make things worse!
Do I have to delete the thousand album CDs and re-rip all of it, again?
Somebody, please help!!!
This is a real problem for our Family Pack MobileMe to iCloud transition! It just doesn't seem to work!

joeatch2,
Sync the iTunes Store content from your work machine to your iPod or iPhone.
Authorize the home machine for your account. Connect the iPod or iPhone and go to the File menu and choose "Transfer purchases from "iPod or iPhone's name""
Sync the home content to the iPod or iPhone.
Authorize the work computer for the home account. Connect the iPod or iPhone and go to the File menu and choose "Transfer purchases from "iPod or iPhone's name""
Hope this helps,

Finder flashes and disappears at top. Computer dead on only one account.

My iMac G4 (800 mhz) running the latest update/version of Tiger is suddenly acting up on one account only. On other accounts, no problem. On the problem account, the finder bar appears and disappears about every second. I can start to open applications (Word, Safari, etc.), but they close before fully opening. No recent changes to the computer and only safe internet surfing (to the best of my knowledge).
My 12-year-old son's homework program is on the account in turmoil. Help, please! Thank you...
iMac G4 800 mhz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

If you don't mind using the Terminal you can get into any account using super user commands. The slickest, and most dangerous way, is to kill Finder and relaunch it as root. The safest way is to launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities. Next you want to go into the other user's Prefs folder, so type this and hit the Return key:
sudo -s
give your admin password, which is not echoed to the screen, and hit the Return key again. Your regular user name will be changed to root. You can now do whatever you please. Navigate to the other account's Prefs folder:
cd /Users/otheraccount/Library/Preferences
hit the Return key, then type ls and hit Return to see a list of all the Preferences. Here's a sample of me accessing that folder in my test account (short name is revelator) and asking for a list of the files:
Tiger:~ francine$ sudo -s
Tiger:~ root# cd /Users/revelator/Library/Preferences
Tiger:/Users/revelator/Library/Preferences root# ls
From the list of files you can then copy of the name of what you want to remove and paste it in the remove command or type it:
Tiger:/Users/revelator/Library/Preferences root# rm com.apple.finder.plist
After you finish removing the files type
exit
and hit Return.

Firefox crashes under windows 7 on startup on only ONE account

In Windows 7. Firefox crashed in use and now crashes on restart, every time. But only on the account I was in when it crashed.
Please be clear on that --- IT WORKS IN OTHER ACCOUNTS ON THIS MACHINE. That rules out many of the suggestions I've seen for problems. It won't be a hardware problem or a driver problem if the other accounts are using the same hardware and the same drivers, and so on.
It won't start in Firefox's safe mode (hold down shift while clicking on icon -- it crashes).
I have since updated Firefox to version 23.0. Still works on other accounts, but not on this one.
I have tried disabling addons in the other accounts, and resetting them, but resetting won't affect this account.
I've run both Malwarebytes (finds nothing; in fact I run it regularly) and SuperAntiSpyware (found only tracking cookies, all of which I deleted).
Looking for crash reports, there's no actual crash IDs (nothing with 'bp-' on it), even in the one called "LastCrash" which has today's date on it.
In C:\Users\Glen\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports, the last 5 files with numbers in contain:
1376192937 - in the LastCrash file
1376188049 - earlier with todays date
1373320611 - from more than a month back
1369950890 - from months ago
1366156437
but just nothing with bp- in it
[Please note that any suggestion that needs me to start or be running Firefox doesn't work if I can't start Firefox. In searching for information I don't know how many times I've encountered instructions that tell me to do things which assume Firefox is running. So for example the section here for "Troubleshooting information" that assumes Firefox is running is pointless when Firefox won't start.
I have instead gone to another account (an Admin account) and manually grabbed troubleshooting information from there to put in -- so keep in mind that anything that relates specifically to this specific user account where I can't start Firefox from won't be there.

Did you check if the links to those crash reports work?
Are there any crash reports in the pending folder?
Create a new profile as a test to check if the current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Mails getting bounce back from only one account,why?

Hi Every one,
I have a strange problem, I'm using postfix mail server and LDAP directory service.
From last few day I'm facing strange problem. Like I have 15 user account configured for accessing emails.
In that, only one user gets bounce back messages. I found the issue but not sure how to fix it.
Issue:
If I stop the (LDAP) directory and mail service and restart my Leopard server and services. I can send emails through. But after few days or a week later i have to face the same issue.
Help Please
Thanks,
Gulab Pasha

If you right-click on an accont's inbox and select "Synchronize {name}", that should perform the "get new mail" function as part of the general synchronization.

I want to bcc myself when sending mail from one account but not another. When I check "automatically bcc myself", it bcc's me from both accounts. Can I set this to work with only one account?

I have two mail accounts on my Mac. I want one account to bcc me when I send emails from that account. I checked "automatically bcc myself" under mail>preferences>composing, but both accounts bcc me when sending mail. Can I set this to only bcc myself from one specific email account? Thanks.

It does not make sense that your ssh does not have a dash capital Y (-Y) option. It is in "man ssh", and my 10.6.6 has the -Y option, and I've had a -Y option since at least Tiger (10.4) days.
My ssh is in /usr/bin/ssh
I'm not very good at X11 issues, so I'm just throwing ideas out there.
Does your broken account have a $HOME/.ssh/config file, and if so, what is in it?
Does the broken account have any $HOME/.x* or $HOME/.X* files that X11 might be reading to configure your X11 behavior differently from the new test account?
$HOME/.Xauthority
$HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>
$HOME/.Xresources
$HOME/.ICEauthority
$HOME/.keymap.km
The above are a few names I found looking through "man X"
While I'm thinking about it, I assume that when going to the server, you are using the exact same user account on the server, so that you have a constant at least at that end.
Have you tried trashing your
$HOME/Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist
file, to see if that is affecting the broken account?
Again, I am just throwing out ideas to see if anything sticks.

Problem sending only one byte with ibwrt()

If I send only one byte of data with ibwrt() command, it doesn't work with whatever settings (EOS,EOI,..) I chose. I got the error (ENOL : no listener).
Did somebody get the same problem ?

ENOL indicates that there is no listener on the bus. This is probably not related to the settings on the controller. Are you correctly addressing a device to be a listener? If so, is there some indication on the device that it is addressed to listen?
Also, your post seems to indicate that sending more than one byte works. Is this true?

Gmail accounts added to iphone. only one account will work.

I have a new iphone5. I have 2 gmail accounts. I can only add one account but it will not accept my other account either by itself or with the other account. the second account that won't be accepted is protected by the google verification code. Any ideas?

Have you visited Google's website regarding how to create and access a 2nd Gmail account with an iOS device that is protected by the Google verification code?

IPod skipping iTMS songs - but only one account

Hi,
I'm not sure what my iPod is exactly. It's a 40GB mono screen iPod, about five years old. I thought that made it a 'classic' but perhaps not... anyway.
Since I updated iTunes last, the update deauthorised my accounts on my MacBook. One of these was my current account and I've got that up and running again fine. The second one was an old account from when I was on AOL which the nice Apple people kindly helped me convert into an Apple ID account and that, too, is now running again on my MacBook.
The weird thing is that that account won't play on my iPod. It just skips through all those songs.
It will however play them if I connect my iPod to my MacBook and play through the MacBook speakers. I've tried authorising it but it says my accounts are already authorised and anyway, I don't think that's quite how you do it on an iPod.
I'm sure it's something fairly simple but it's getting frustrating now.
I have tried doing a hard reset on the iPod, holding down Menu and the centre button but it still skips through songs on this one account.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Charley x

Roaming: Heck! I think you are right. I'm not at home right now to check so I think I can check on that only through itunes. But, as I now recall, this happened to me before. These are all Christmas songs and I set them to skip after Christmas so "by artist" they are not included. The 158 are tracks added since last year and I forgot to set. Ugh!
Thanks for the tip and I'll update tonight once I confirm.

HT1203 Two iTunes libraries, only one account!

My iTunes library on my PC is somehow different from my MAC library. How can this happen with only one iTunes account? How can I merge them?

1. The contents of the library are stored on the computers and are separate from what's recorded as associated with your Apple ID on Apple's servers.
2. Move the song files from one computer to the other.

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).

Does anyone have the problem of only one ear plug working on the life case for iPhone?

I have a life case for my iPhone...when I add my earphones to it, only one ear phone works...?

What troubleshooting steps have you taken?
Try these:
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.

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).

Plain Text URL links not working in the Windows 8 Mail App for only one account.

Hello,
I just started using a Surface Pro, and randomly one of the accounts I have setup in the "Modern" Mail app stopped parsing the pain text URL path that was included in them. Specifically links to forum discussions. I have 4 other Win
8 devices and they display the links fine.
More confusing is this issue happens ONLY with my O365 mail account and only on one PC. I have an Outlook.com account and it renders the pain text URL as a clickable link, but when I send the same email to my O365 account it just shows up as
text, no link generated. All in the same Windows 8 Mail App.
I ran the Windows 8 App Troubleshooter, I've reinstalled the Mail app, I've removed and re-added the mail account. Nothing fixes this. Anyone know why?
Thanks,
Joe

Same problem for us, the link is also not rendered, if the mail is sent to an on-premise Exchange server.
Its only for plain-text messags, HTML-messages work fine.
Why is this problem ignored? The app is useless with that limitation.
