Problems with Administrator Account

I am presently using my G4 PowerBook while I am away in Australia. It is running system 10.4.11.
It is set up with three accounts: administrator, my wife's and a visitor's account. Both the administrator account and my wife's can administer the computer. The privileges for the visitor account are very limited.
During the last few days the administrator account is behaving very oddly. It allows only one window to be open at anytime. For example, if I am running Text Edit and I decide to bring up Safari, the Text Edit window will disappear although the programme continues to run in the background. I have tried running other pairs of programmes and the fault seems to be universal. When I cycle through open programmes by typing Command-Tab, all open programmes are represented.
Now when I open up my wife's account, the computer behaves normally and one can have multiple windows open and drag and drop as usual.
I have repaired permissions and run Disk Utiltiy from the original install disk. This process suggests that all is not well with the hard drive. When I ran Tech Tools, from the CD I obtained with my Apple Care, it suggested that the hard drive needed repair. I carried out the repair process and was told that everything was OK.
I hoped that the upgrade to 10.4.11 would sort out the problem but it has not done so. It is behaving as if there is a check box somewhere that allows for multiple windows that has become unticked. I have searched high and low but have not been able to find anything amiss. I use Macaroni which carries out regular Unix maintenance.
Any clues, anyone?
Many thanks in advance.

Ok, what I will get you to do is take each file I list below and drag it to the desktop, the log out and back in and test. Drag only 1 or 2 at once until the problem disappears. If after moving some files and testing and the issue persists, replace them in the preferences folder. If you pull multiple files to the desktop at once and the problem stops, replace them one at a time until it is apparent what file is the culprit.
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.dock.plist
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.dashboard.plist
com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
com.apple.FolderActions.plist
com.apple.FolderActionsSetup.plist
com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
com.apple.help.plist
com.apple.helpviewer.plist
com.apple.MenuBarClock.plist
If none of those work, message me back for a few more.
Good luck!

No logon possible with "Administrator" Account

Hi,
since a few weeks it's not possible for me to log on with the Administrator account via the Explorer like http://<server>:<port>/irj or /nwa or /useradmin etc.
It's still possible to log on at the visual Administrator with the Administrator account.
But when i want to log on to the portal (/irj) the logon mask appears again after correct logon.
If I want to use an other account for logon after trying to logon with administrator account the message comes up, that "Authentication failed. User is already authenticated as a different user."
We are using EP 7.0 SPS 23 incl. actual patches.
User store is the UME DB + LDAP (read access)
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Roland

Hi Anja,
yeah i just checked out the note. But it doesn't fit to me. I neither get the mentioned error in the traces nor do i have a problem connection with other users except the ones with "administrator" in their name.
Additional info: I have the problem throughout my Portallandscape. So dev, qas and productive engine are affected. So it would be a big coincidence that all three ticketstores are corrupt or something like that.
Thanks anyway!
Kind regards
add. info:
I had a look what's in the security log of a portal system where the logon with the user "administrator" works and what's in the security log of the portals where i get the logon screen again.
Portal where it works:
LOGIN.OK
User: Administrator
Authentication Stack: ticket
Login Module                                                               Flag        Initialize Login      Commit     Abort      Details
1. com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.EvaluateTicketLoginModule             SUFFICIENT ok          false      false
2. com.sap.engine.services.security.server.jaas.BasicPasswordLoginModule   REQUISITE   ok          true       true
3. com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.CreateTicketLoginModule               OPTIONAL    ok          true       true
Central Checks                                                                                true
Portal where it doesn't work:
LOGIN.OK
User: Administrator
Authentication Stack: ticket
Login Module                                                               Flag        Initialize Login      Commit     Abort      Details
1. com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.EvaluateTicketLoginModule             SUFFICIENT ok          false      false
2. com.sap.engine.services.security.server.jaas.BasicPasswordLoginModule   REQUISITE   ok          true       true
3. com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.CreateTicketLoginModule               OPTIONAL    ok          true       false
Central Checks                                                                                true
So you can see at the "createTicketLoginModule"        is the difference ==> ok true true | ok true false

"There is a problem with your account..." when opening online OneNote file within local OneNote app

Hi,
We have a tenancy DirSync connection a small number of staff so that they can have access to SharePoint, Visio and OneNote Online. When one such user logs onto the http://[groupsite].sharepoint.com site on his Windows 7 PC with Office 2013 installed,
he can access the site successfully. He might then open a OneNote file online. However, if he was to then click the "Open In OneNote" button from the toolbar, and clicked "Yes" to the Microsoft OneNote Security Notice:
"Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern. This location may be unsafe".
... and then sign in with the same account to this box
... and then enters his correct credentials into the next "Sign In" window, it returns with the following message:
"There is a problem with your account. Please try again later".
Finally, the following message is returned within the MS OneNote app:
"We couldn't open that location. It might not exist or you might not have permission to open it. Please contact the owner of onenote:https://[groupsite].sharepoint.com/sites/....one#SharePoint Team Site for more information."
The user has reinstalled MS OneNote 2013 on the PC with no change. We have also removed all cached credentials from within Windows Credential Manager and rebooted with no success. The user can access all web-based resources such as SharePoint, OneNote and
Visio, and he can open web-based Visio files locally on the locally-installed Visio app with no issues. This problem is specifically experienced when opening an online version of OneNote locally on a PC that has either MS OneNote 2010 or OneNote 2013.
Any assistance that you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Brian

Thanks Maurice, for your reply.
My Windows Account is already used to log into OneNote. It is the same Windows Account used to log into, and access online, the SharePointOnline, OneNote Online, etc., services. I tried, indeed, to sign out from my account within the client-version of OneNote
but it returns the message "We can't remove Windows accounts".
Again, this is the only account that has been used with this installation of OneNote, and it is that which has been uploaded by way of DirSync to Azure. It works for online versions of OneNote items, SharePoint and Visio, and for VisioOnline-based files
that are opened within the local client-version of Visio. When trying to open the OneNote Online notebook within the local client-version of OneNote we get this issue.
I have reinstalled Office with no success.
Any help that you can provide in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Brian

I used a prepaid Visa card on ITunes. The card no longer has money on it. It keeps telling me that there is a problem with my account (it's out of money).

I do not have a regular credit card. I used a prepaid credit card on my ITunes account for a little while, but now the prepaid card is out of money. Every time I try to download new FREE apps, it says there is a problem with my account and that I need to put in new card information. There is no option for selecting none. I tried deleting the old information and entering it as a blank. It will not accept it. Every time I try to download free apps, it comes back with the account information page, and then I can go no further. I cannot even download an update to my IPad from Apple. Help!!

Problem with administrative share

Hello!
We have headache-giving problem with Administrative Share in our company.
Network looks like this:
1) Server VLAN - x.x.10.1
2) User VLAN - x.x.11.1
3) Domain Admins VLAN - x.x.12.1
Now for that situation.
When we trying to access Administrative share (C$) from Admin VLAN to User VLAN, it's all fine
From Admin VLAN to Server VLAN - all fine
From Server VLAN to User VLAN - problem
What we found
Our network guy ensured us, that all three VLAN's are wide open to each other
We can't access share on variety of OS - WIndows XP, Windows 7 32/64
Windows share is turned on using Group Policy
File sharing is allowed in Windows firewall
On server we are logged via RDP with Domain Admin accout, which is in local Administrators group on every station on user VLAN
Share service is running
Any ideas?
MT

Hi,
Is there any error message when you try to access Administrative share (C$) From Server VLAN to User VLAN and can you access other administrative share (F$, G$, H$, etc.)? Can you access Administrative share (C$) From Server VLAN to Admin VLAN?
Please also refer to the thread below to see if it is helps:

Problems with Merging Account

Hi Experts,
I have 2 problems with merging accounts:
1) Opportunity is not moved from source data to master data. I do not know why. Central BP is changable.
2) Contact Person is only copied, not moved. This causes problems later on when we want to delete the source data.
Any idea how to solve this?
Best regards,
Cristina

Hi Arno:
First of all: Thanks for answering my thread!
The problem with opportunities in my system is, that they are not merged at all, not even with the batch job. I checked trx. BUSWU02. Node CRM370 is assigned to variant CLEAR_REP.
Also the central Business Partner in opportunity remains changable, once the opportunity was saved.
Anything else I have to check??
Best regards,
Cristina

Failure of ACL setting for CIFS share resource on Windows client logined with administrator account

Hi,
We accounter a puzzle of ACL setting for a CIFS share resource. In our application, we use the
administrator account to login a Windows 7 OS which is used as the CIFS client. We can access the share resource by "\\server_ip" on this CIFS client, but we can't add
a new ACE to the ACL of a CIFS share resource provided by a CIFS server.
Why dose this hanppen? Note that the CIFS server maybe a Windows OS or a self-developed CIFS server.
The operation details as followed:
1.Access the share resource by "\\server_ip", login the CIFS server by a valid account on the CIFS server.
2.On the Windows client, select the "Security" panel in the mouse-right-button properties dialog of a cifs share resource.
3.To add a new ACE for someone eg. user0, we input "user0" in the "Select Users ans Groups" dialog popped up.
4.Click OK, but the Windows client will not get the user information for user0 from the CIFS server.
WHY?
5.By wireshare network trace, we find the Windows client didn't send any SAMR requests to the CIFS server.
6.Restart the Windows client OS and login again with another account except administrator, carry out the above operations. We find that the Windows client can get the user information, opposite with the step 4 above.
WHY?
7.By wireshare network trace, we find that the Windows client has sent SAMR requests to the CIFS server to get user informations. But that is different from step 5, WHY?
If the Windows client OS is login with administrator account, is there any configuration on Windows client to decide whether request user information on CIFS server when setting ACL for CIFS share resource?
Expect your help.Thanks.
Best wishes.

OneNote 2013 throwing error: There is a problem with your account. Please try again later on Windows 8.1

Hi
I had Windows 8 installed on my corporate laptop till last week and as the OS crashed, I have re-installed the system with 8.1 and it has Office 2013 installed with my corporate ID. It is signed in Corporate credentials by default. But when I am trying to
use Switch Account option and trying to login with my Microsoft ID to sync my notebooks, it throws an error : "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later".
Note that My Microsoft is active and i am able to access the pages online.
Pls help with me with a resolution

Hi Raj_Tan,
Thank you for posting this issue on the TechNet community forums.
From the description I understand that you're having problems signing into OneNote 2013 with your Microsoft account and that it's giving you an error: "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later". You mentioned you are able to
access the pages online.
Could you please try the following:
Check if you are able to login to other office apps with your Microsoft account.
Check if you are able to login to the OneDrive app using your Microsoft account.
Try emptying all saved passwords from the credential manager:

Hi ELMIR_012,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you may be setting up your iPhone after updating to iOS 7.

Ok. Found something that said to shut down and hold the option, command, p, and r keys on restart. Held them down for a few restarts and everything automatically signed in and works. Woohoo!!!
