Problems changing from on account to the other after 10.5.8 update

Since I updated to OS X 10.5.8 my Macbook which has two users accounts, refuses from time to time to switch to the other account (No second login screen appears when asked to switch) When I ask for the Main login screen the user screen turns and I get a Blue screen that does not disappear, so I have to Hard reset the machine. Any solution welcome!

For now the problem is solved but we'll see what happens in the next few days. So I'll wait to mark this solved. I downloaded the OSX 10.5.2 Combo Update and restarted my iMac and I'm online again.
You can find it here:

You can also go back to 10.5.1 as well here:

How can I import my iphotos from one account to the other?

Someone knows step by step iphoto from one account to the other. I am admin but still I do not know how to bring my iphotos to a different account
thanks for help

Just the Photos?
Export them from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop
Put that folder in the Users/Shared folder.
Switch User.
Drag the folder from the Shared folder to whereever you want it.
Share the Library?
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder (but note: some users find ongoing permissions issues with the Library in this location. It might be better to use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

How do I change my iCloud Apple ID from one account to the other?

I have two Apple IDs. I want to rationalise iCloud on my devices, but on my iPad I am signed in with one ID and on the iPhone and Mac it is the other. I want to sign in with the other ID on the iPad as well, but I can't find a way short of deleting the account. Do I 'Delete account' on the iPad? WIll I lose my contacts etc? It's giving me that warning. And will it delete that entire Apple ID, or just its connection to iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

I have just bought a new pc and downloaded itunes onto it, i have logged into my itunes account and purchased a few new tracks which downloaded fine but it will not find my previous purchases from istore. They show in my history in the store but when I click on purchased i can't get itunes to upload the previous purchases. I know there is a limit on how many computers you can download these too but I only have them on one other one.
Any ideas?

I have two FormCentral accounts and would like to move a large number of my forms from one account to the other without having to recreate them. Is there an easy way to do this?

I do know that I can Export either the design Form OR the Responses then Import them into my other account but I don't see a way to export the entire Form WITH the Responses.
Thanks!

Hi
Please see this FAQ on how to export/import your forms from one account to another account:

HT204053 I cannot update my apps on my iPhone. I have 2 email addresses and I now realize I changed my Apple ID from one email to the other. Now I cannot update on my iPhone because it is associated with the original email address. Help?

I cannot update my apps on my iPhone 3. I think it's because I've discovered I have 2 Apple ID's, the original one for iTunes from 2009, and another one I used more recently. I think I must have changed my Apple ID to the more recent email, but my iPhone does not accept any password for the new ID. I have tried changing back but cannot. I have reset passowrds on both ID's 6 or 7 times, but that does not work either. I read I cannot undo an Apple ID, so I have 2, but they are mixed up. Help?

Did you purchase or download the apps with your old ID? Apps are tied to the ID that is was purchased from.
If it is a new app you bought with your new ID, you can go into settings - appstore- apple id and then log out.

Safari has disapeared from my account. The other account on my computer still has it. How can I get it back to my account?

This Safari Icon has completely disappeared from my account on Mac. I can find no record of it anywhere. The other account on my Mac still has Safari. How can I get it back onto my account? Please

On the other account, control-click its Dock icon and choose Show in Finder. If it's located in a place other than the Applications folder at the top level of the drive, move it there. If it is, go back into yours, open the Applications folder, and drag it to the Dock.

New install on Windows 8. 2 accounts. Thunderbird is automatically moving all mail from 1 account to the other. How do I stop it?

Stock Windows 8 Updated, no add ons.
New clean install of Thunderbird 24.3.0
2 mail accounts. 1 x gmail, l x Yahoo.
All new mail into the yahoo inbox gets automatically moved into the inbox of the gmail account.
The two accounts have no other connection.
Both accounts use IMAP with the automatic settings applied.
How can I stop this?

My first thought is to check your message filters on each account. Tools > Message Filters
2nd thought is to check your yahoo settings via your browser and see if mail forwarding is enabled.
Turn on the location column (see attached image) and see if they are actually in the apparent folder.
Possible that your gmail inbox is being used as a "unified inbox"?

I have mistakenly opened up a new iTunes account. Can I transfer purchases from one account to the other?

I have recently bought a new iPad mini and tried to set it up and share with my old iTunes account.
I thought I was changing email addresses for contact info, but was actually setting up a new iTunes account and paid for the £21 a year sharing service.
I have a few (not many) tunes purchased on my old iTunes account.
Is there a way of merging/closing my old account and transferring purchases across to the new iTunes account?
I could swap between the two, but doing that on the phone/ipad will mean I cannot swap back for 90 days!!!!!
Thanks

Did you ever get around to transfer purchases from your old iPhone to iTunes in your computer. If you did, your ringtone will be there and all you need to do is sync it back to your new iPhone.
Ringtones can only be downloaded once from the iTunes Store that is why the user guides recommend that you transfer purchases from the iPhone to the computer.
If you never synced your old iPhone to iTunes, then you need to do that now so that you can get your ringtone on your new iPhone.

Calculating a percentage of change from one day to the other

I'm working on a report that is grouped by date. What I'm trying to is calculate the difference between one day to the next. But when I try to do the formula it's thinks it's calculating against itself...
Group by Date: 9/1 = $100
9/2 = $80
Subtotal = =0.20%

Please give the formula details to check. I think you are not multiplied with 100 in your formula.

Transfer the Postings from One G/L Account to the Other

Hi,
I had some postings under one G/L Account. I want to transfer the Open items from this account to the Newly created G/L Account(Open Item Management check box is selected). Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks

Hi Kedar,
There is no standard functionality available in SAP to transfer the open items from one GL to another.
You need to create the new GL with correct settings and pass a manual JV using Tcode F-02.

Problem while migrating the extensions from one instance to the other.

Hi,
We are using kintana workbench to migrate the objects from one instance to the other. But after migrating From Instance1 to Intance2 it ws fine. Working properly in Instance2. But when the same package is migrated to Instance3, all are migrated successfully and log files are showing proerly. But when i access the pages in Instance3, I am getting the errors on the page above like this:
ViewObject attribute is null; ViewUsageName: (ScorecardSummaryVO1); RegionItem: (LastUpdateLogin)
Can some let me know what could be the problem.
Thanks.

user555006,
Error shows that LastUpdateLogin item on the page has no proper VO attribute attached. Hence it seems that the MDS data is not updated properly. Upload the page again and test.

How to make Reply (all), to an email I sent, to be sent from same account as the original email?

I have a number of Email accounts configured, all of them as pop mail. And, they are all configured to use the same Inbox and Send folders, Thrashbin etc. They are all correctly configured with the appropriate Sender and Reply to-address.
My problem, has started occuring, I think, after I exchanged my default and some of my email accounts.
Sometimes I need to reuse a message that I have sent, to fill in some details, or whatever.
Typically I open an Email from the Sent folder, remove my own email from the distribution list, add some more text
and resend the message to the original recipients.
What I want, is for the new message to be sent from the same sender address as the original email.
But, since I changed my default account, the new email created by opening an email from the Sent folder
and clicking Reply or Reply all, now gets a different Sender and Reply to - address.
And this means I have to remember to edit the Sender address.
I seem to get this problem regardless of whether I do Forward, Reply or Reply all, to create a new Email from the old one I sent.
This is really a nuisance since I keep forgetting to do this, and it takes extra time and effort for something that used to be quick and easy.
How can I make Thunderbird include the correct Sender address, (the one that I sent the original email from) when doing this, without my having to change it manually each time?
The address Thunderbird chooses is not even my Default email address, but the first account that appears after the Default account in the list of accounts, at least that is what it seems like. I have tried to find a way to reorder the accounts, but I have not been able to find that.
Is there a way to reorder the accounts?
Would it help if I recreated the accounts so the one I use as default becomes the oldest one? But that, would help only for the default account, and the other accounts would still have the same problem, I assume?
I could live with this, since the default account is the default account for a reason.
Would it help, if I separated the different accounts, into different folders?
Or is there a setting to configure how Thunderbird does this, or even have it ask every time I create a new email from the Sent folder?
Each one of the accounts, is configured with the appropriate smtp server settings, (probably irrelevant for this problem).

Good suggestion. It gets rid of the "mailto:", but I have to remove the space after dragging the clip into the user name box. Interestingly, I can open the clip with TextWrangler, remove the space, and save it as a clip. However, the clip, as a clip, still has the space! When I open it again in TextWrangler, the space is gone, but still appears when I drag the clip or open it in the Finder. So not quite a cigar. But definitely useful.
So the question remains, where is a clip's data stored? Is it editable? If so, how? If not, why not?

Hi ,I have a Mcbook Pro Mail version 6.3, since we changed from ADSL to fiber the incoming mails stop coming.out is fine after we changed the ports etc. does anyone know what alse we shall do?thks!

hi, I have a Mcbook Pro Mail verson 6.3,
since we changed from ADSL to fiber the incoming mails doesnt work.
out is fine as we have configurated the e mail account with correct info.
so what can be the problem? anyone that can help out?
its my first time out here...thks!

It's either a problem with your incoming mail server (are you using POP or IMAP?) or, possibly, a problem with your new router.
Which mail service are you using and what is your incoming server address? Does it require a special port?
