Problem opening windows in X as an user

I can't start any X programs with user account. For example when trying to start Firefox it gives me an error:
(firefox-bin:7808): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
The user belongs to the following groups:
wheel network video audio optical users
What could cause this?

do you have X installed?
how do you start ff?

Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition 3.0 - problem opening My Catalog

Have installed and uninstalled Adobe Starter Edition 3 numerous times. Each time I get the following message:
There was a problem opening the catalog 'My Catalog'
Another user or application may have the catalogue open, or one or more files may be missing,out of date or damaged.
The ODBC data source returned the following error:
"[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Invalid connection string attribute"
Attempt to compact and recover this catalog and then open again?
If I then click OK it says
A problem was encountered during catalog recovery. Your catalogue may be OK but if you experience problems with it that can't be resolved through the Recover Catalog option or restarting your system you may need to restore this catalog from a backup.
When I click OK - only option offered:
Unable to open catalog called 'My Catalog' because the file is damaged.
Please select an action to perform:
* open an existing catalog
* create a new catalog called My Catalogue-1.psa
If I do the first it goes back to square 1 above. If I do the second the same.
Every time I have uninstalled I have then done a search for all files using name My Catalog and deleted those.
Am running on XP fully up to date.
HELP!!!

Jim,
Many thanks. But, yes, I have done all that several times. Worse still when I load the Photoshop to my laptop all works just fine. Yet both are on up to date XP. I have a Dell p.c. and a Toshiba laptop. Maybe all this is hardware related? Or else I have some Windows corruption on my p.c. But I don't think so as other people are reporting the same problem as I have.
Do you know if there is a way I can ask Adobe directly?
Regards
Andy

Windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac

We are having some problems with windows network shares disappearing when users are logged on to Mac computers.
We have a number of Mac labs that users can logon to using their AD login credentials. Their network shares are saved on a windows file server. The ad plug has been configured on each client Mac as has the LDAP plug-in. It is configured to connect to the Xserve which is running as an OD master. The system preferences for the client Macs are being managed from the Xserve.
The problem for the users is that they can log into the Mac no problem and they can see their network share appearing on the desktop and in the dock, but for some reason on random Macs and with random users the network share disappears. If they log off and log back in again the network share is still missing. As it happens randomly I can not put my finger on what the problem is.
Most labs either have Intel iMacs running 10.4.11 or Intel iMacs running 10.5.5
Any help will be appreciated

Mike,
We need to know some basic scoping information to provide any further input.
1)
Is the user prompted that the server will be shutting down?
2)
Does Task Scheduler show that the task ran at the scheduled time?
3)
Are there any errors in %windir%\tasks\schedlgu.txt?
4)
Does the problem still occur if the machine is in its own OU with blocked inheritance?
Does the problem still occur in a clean boot configuration with MSConfig
Steps to clean boot machine:
================
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select Services > click "check box", "Hide all microsoft services" > Disable all
Start > Run > Msconfig > Select startup> Disable all
Reboot
Thanks,

I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
And how much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

Windows 8.1 update 1 - users with domain mandatory profiles cannot open windows 8.1 Store

Hi,
After the update 1 on windows 8.1. All of our domain users get "you cannot access the windows store because you're signed in to this pc using a temporary or guest account......" while opening windows 8.1 store. All my users use mandatory
profiles. Could some one guide me onto:
-how and what changes should I make on my base image of 8.1?
-how/where what changes should I make on the domain in Group policy to make my profiles work?
-I also run sccm 2012 R2 if that makes the things easier I can use it for deploying store apps, but I prefer to make a base windows 8.1 image throw all required apps on it. I would like to make sure that my domain user can open up windows store after
that I can capture this image and deploy.
                              Need help thanks
                              Note: Before this update 1 of windows 8.1 things worked great.

Thanks Kate Li,
Domain profile is not corrupt. I have checked the registry settings. In my question I am mentioning that I am using mandatory profiles for domain users. Need help.
I am on update 2 now and the same error for domain users with mandatory profiles.
Also error 1001 is generated every time the user tries to open the store(the user with mandatory profile)

Windows 7, and I open window, which then flashes across the screen and is then hidden (only on my screen--the other users are able to open Firefox). What can I do?

There are several different user screens on my computer with each users programs. We all use Firefox on our Windows 7 desktop. However, for the last week, when I hit my Firefox icon, a small window flashes across the screen and is hidden. However, it shows the open window and the default site on the Task Bar, and I cannot browse, although Firefox still works on the other users' screens. What can I do to use it again and still save my Favorites/Bookmarks?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I am running windows 8, 64 bit, & suddenly have a problem opening files, I have to keep re-booting

I am running windows 8, 64 bit, & suddenly have a problem opening files, I have to keep re-booting - is there anything in preferences I can change?

The clipboard error means that the OS or some other application messed up when placing data on the clipboard.
The reboot to open files means that something has gone wrong at the OS level (otherwise just relaunching Photoshop would work). We've heard from a few other users with that problem, but never heard back from them what was wrong with their system to cause that behavior. My guess is a bad driver or malware.

Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible HTML editor

Dear All,
I am frequently getting following error message on aspx pages on my SharePoint 2007 environment
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer.
If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.
Upon refreshing and restarting the browser several times, this error message temporarily gone and everything becomes fine. But after some time same error message starts appearing again. Also I have noticed that this error message also appears
while working with SharePoint Designer 2007.Any clues how to resolve this issue ?
Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, it seems like VS itself problem, you can try to repair this program through Control Panel for test. If no use, it would be better to post your question at VS forum for further assistance.

I think there is a problem with the latest version of Firefox. When you minimize one window (doesn't matter how many tabs) on Mac, it automatically minimizes all of the other open windows. This never used to happen.

Whenever you have multiple windows open - say one is your Gmail account and the other is a bunch of pages you're using at work - and then you go to minimize the window with Gmail but intend to continue working on the other open windows. Using Command-M (the minimize shortcut for Macs) unfortunately now sends all open windows to the minimize bar in the lower right. Which means - every time I go to look at Gmail, then put it away, I have to reclick to open all of the other windows I was working in. Can this be fixed? It never used to happen.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox

Because OS X 10.4* does not have what is needed by Firefox 4.0 and newer.
Linux users are in a similar boat also as they need certain package versions within the last few years as LTS distros (with outdated packages from 4+ years ago) like CentOS is a bit screwed on newer applications like Firefox 4.0. By your logic Mozilla should also support Linux packages from 10 years ago also which would be a really ridiculous thing to do.
I think only the 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7 is really supported or will be rather when it comes to 64-bit builds (still not officially supported yet).
Mozilla is still supporting Firefox 3.6 with updates, in which 3.6.16 can be found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK

Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

Hi, Derek -
...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

Problem opening PrE 9 project created on Mac in Windows

Hi, I recently migrated from a Mac to Windows 7, and am having problems opening my project files on the Windows computer. I created several PrE9 projects on my Mac, but now I need to open some of these files on a PC with Windows 7. I get the error message "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements." I have successfully opened other CS5 project files (AI, PS) on both platforms. This is the first I've seen Adobe files open on Mac but not PC.
So, assuming this is going to be impossible, can I export from the Mac version of PrE to Windows? Is cross-platform collaboration impossible with PrE 9? That doesn't seem likely. What am I missing?
I have some title animations that I created on the Mac that I would really like to reuse in new Windows projects moving forward. I hope I don't have to recreate them from scratch!
Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately, project files created on the Mac platform are not compatible with the Windows version of the product and vice versa.
You can't work on the same project file on both a Mac and a PC. Sorry.

Aperture (3.4.1) no longer opens and the following message appears: There was an error opening the database for the library "/ Users / Andrea / Pictures / Aperture 3 Library.aplibrary." How can I solve this problem? Thanks

I was using Aperture (3.4.1), when he appeared a notice that asked me to stop the Mac with the power button. When I restart Aperture no longer opens and the following message appears: There was an error opening the database for the library "/ Users / Andrea / Pictures / Aperture 3 Library.aplibrary."
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks

After a system crash your Aperture Library may be corrupted, because Aperture may not have been able to finish the ongoing database transactions.
Have you tried the Aperture Library First Aid Tools?
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
Try "Repair Database", and if this does not help: "Rebuild Database"
