Problems with multiple admin users

I used migration assistant to move my user and all software to a new MBA. It was an admin user so I now have 2 admin users on the machine. I don't use the admin that came with the MBA but my 'old' user. This hasn't been a problem until now. I bought a Connected Data Transporter and installed the Connected Data desktop software in my old user. It seemed to work but then I discovered that it should have set up icons in Finder. There was one there that pointed to an alias, which when clicked on I got this message "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Connected Data” can’t be found."
After a while I logged into other admin user and installed the software again. It ran okay and all the icons were in the Finder and they worked.
My question is why does this work in one admin user and not another ?

Sorry for sending this to the Apple Discussion List, but as I said below the Connected Data Forum is as bad as if not worse than the AWFUL product Transporter...
Shame, Shame on all involved with this overhyped product
I have been using computers and technology since 1983 and I have never experienced a worse product and support EVER! Yes, I want my $$ back, but I even more want others NOT to experience what I have, with this AWFUL Transporter and even worse customer support.
I purchased the product in July and after a few days discovered how bad this product is. Spent hours on FAQ's, more hours on the phone with your tech support and now I am told to send a "proof of purchase". This is something that is no where to be found on the transporter or the box it was sent in.
I know that you all will do NOTHING to help me, but I do hope that the staff that sees this (if any do), will have some conscience and move this issue to someone who can prevent this from happening to future customers.
Shame, Shame on you!!!

Problems with second (admin) user profile

Hi all,
I'm having trouble with a certain user profile. I got a new MacMini with Lion (10.7), to which I imported two user profiles from a Time Machine backup of a Snow Leopard system. The first profile, which used to be the admin profile on the old Mac, works just fine. But the second profile, which used to be a "normal" user profile encounters massive problems. First thing I did was to make the second user admin as well, but that did not fix anything. I assume there is a problem with the permissions and "repair permissions" didn't do anything either.
Here are some examples of the issues:
First example: I cannot delete or rename folders in Mail, unless I delete or rename them in the respective ~/Library folder. This concerns folders which I imported from the Time Machine backup. There are no issues with new folders.
Second example: I cannot start SPSS, which runs just fine on the other profile. It starts and then just closes right away without any error message or anything. I found a workaround which is to start the program with a rooted terminal command ("sudo /Applications/..."). There is no problem with Java (which would be common) and there are no license issues. I found an article in some other forum which stated that SPSS reads and writes in its preference folder at startup and closes right away if permissions are denied for that folder.
Third and most annoying example: I cannot permanently delete or create icons in the dock. I can remove or create icons temporarily, but after restarting the Mac, the new icons are gone and the deleted items are right back where they were.
Does anybody have any idea on how to fix this?
In the short run, It'd be very helpful if anyone could tell me how to create dock icons with a Terminal command.
I thank you in advanced for helping me out. Every little hint is appreciated.
Sebastian
PS: I have not tried to setup a new user profile instead of the second profile, yet. With all the programs and preferences that would take at least two days and I need to keep the Mac running. I would only do it as a very last resort.

Well i went ahead and made that new admin like you said and I set it up and transfered only the files that I thought were important to me, Then i went ahead and fixed or repaired the permissions On the new admin user name and deleted my other admin profile with the key board issue.I fixed the permmissions with an OSX Lion boot disk instead of lion because I don't have the Mountain lion DVD anymore. Every thing seems ok but was that a smart move or will that come back to haunt me?
Now what Im worried about now is I didnt keep any of the certificates or anything in that nature, So My final question is What should i do now to hands down lagitimanetly make This the offical ADmin with all keys and things of that nature that make it the main one?
Thank you so much and I'll watch my jokes from now on... I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings,

Cannot ping ibook with multiple admin accounts

i am trying to set up remote control across a LAN, and have had success with two iMac G5's controlled from my dual G5. the problem is that i can't connect to an iBook with exactly the same settings and firewall config.
in trying to troubleshoot, i have noticed that i can't ping the iBook, and the only thing i can think of that is different is that the iBook has two user accounts, both of which have admin privileges. could this be causing the problem?
if not, what else could i try? any suggestions, please?

I doubt very much that the problem is caused by having two user accounts with administrator privileges. I have several systems with multiple admin accounts and have never had them cause a problem with the network.
Since you can't even ping the iBook, that would seem to make it a problem with the OS or the network, not with Apple Remote Desktop, so you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in the networking forum in the appropriate Mac OS X area.
Good luck.

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

TS4020 I live in a house with multiple iCloud users. When they try to turn on "Find my computer" they get the message that they will have to disable my "find my computer" setting in order to enable theirs. How can they all be enabled at the same time?

Problem with multiple Toplink/JPA apps in same server

Anyone have experence of running serveral Toplink/ EJB-3 Web apps in the same server (OC4J, alas)?
We seem to get a problem with the second app failing to initialise toplink, with an entity not found message. Each app runs OK on it's own.

Yes, they access the same datasource and most of the tables overlap.
We're thinking it might help to have common entity classes and put them in a shared library, but I don't know if this is relevant (setting up shared libraries complicates testing and tends to snowball, I reckon we need about 15 jars all told).
I''ve had some funnies on OC4J before which I think may be to do with it's use of ClassLoaders, for example I initially put persistence.xml in the libary jar with the data model, but for some reason I get the entity not found error that way. It only seems to work if it's in the classes folder.
For the moment we're getting arround the problem with multiple OC4J instances in the server.

I have a problem with ALV Grid User Command?

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with ALV GRID User Command.
I am calling TCODE IW33 (Order Display) from the ALV output at first time by selecting an order. But, User command is calling IW33 Initial screen with blank value of order. Even I checked in debugging the value what I selected is passing properly, but once that screen (IW33 Initial) displays, value doesn't appear. Then, Manually, I created another session and gone to TCODE IW33 and displayed an order. After that I came out from that order. Then again run my ALV program and selected another order, now order is displaying, but not what I selected current order instead of displaying previous order what I just displayed manually. If I selected any other order, system will display the same order what I dislayed manually.
Here is my code.
FORM user_command_alv USING u_ucomm TYPE sy-ucomm
                       us_self_field TYPE slis_selfield.
CASE u_ucomm.
WHEN '&IC1'.
READ TABLE it_final INDEX us_self_field-tabindex INTO wa_final.
        WHEN 'ORDER'.
          IF NOT wa_final-order IS INITIAL.
            SET PARAMETER ID 'COK' FIELD wa_final-order.
            CALL TRANSACTION 'IW33' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
          ENDIF.
endform.
PARAMETER ID 'COK' also the standard one.
Could you please help me out, Where I did wrong?
If I select any order, that order only should display.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sarayu.

hi,
Please check it once the Paramater ID is 'ANR' for IW33 order number.
Hope this may help.

Msi object will not install with non-admin user

I've created an MSI object for the Flash 9 plugin, which installs okay
on the workstation when I login with an admin user. It will not
install when logged in with a normal user account. I have set it up as
an unsecure user and given the workstation R and F rights to the msi
object, but I'm still getting a 1603 error code.
Any suggestions?

I would bookmark this site :>
I almost always check it before deploying a new package to see if it is
listed. Helps me find issues before the issues find me :>

Problem with non iPhone users receiving my text sent pictures. Can I make them smaller files?

Problem with non iPhone users receiving my text sent pictures. Can I make them smaller files? I know that is possible for email sent pics.

My bad, It was a Verizon problem. When they upgraded my phone they were supposed to remove all blocks on messaging . Found out they did not do this. All messaging now works. Thanks for listening.

Problems with multiple idocs in one file ( Inbound file )

HI,
Thanks in Advance for your suggestions.. Highly appreciated.
We have problems with multiple IDocs in one file.
We are using XIB ( Amtrix ) as Middleware to receive the files.
Curretenly When the file contains one IDoc then there is no problem. IDoc is created and everything is ok.
If file contains two IDocs ( for example two messages ORDERS and DELVERY ) then it is creating two IDocs but both IDocs contains ORDERS plus DELIVERY segements information. That is the problem. Some how SAP unable to differentiate the IDocs in the file.. But it knows that how many idocs are there in the file..because it is creating exact number of idocs.
We are using TRFC port ... Do I need to change it to File port..
When we have more than one idoc do we need set any parameter in the file ...

Thanks for the swift response. Always ideas are useful.
As of now , Middleware cannot split the file.
Thing is SAP is creating two Idocs with different message types. Problem is First IDoc contains ORDERS message type but also DELIVERY segments as well. Second IDoc with DELIVERY message tyoe but ORDERS segments as well... This is the problem... I think we are missing some field activation in file for EDIDC record.
As far as I know file port supports the number of IDocs in one file.. Hope TRFC port also supports that

Problem with multiple forms and subview

I have a problem when using NetBean Web Pack (JDK6, Net Beans 5.5, JSF 1.2).
1) I created a JSF page (hello.jsp) and a page fragment (header.jspf) inside Web Pack, and let the JSF page (hello.jsp) includes the page fragment.
2) The include instruction is outside of the "form" element id=main_form() of the first JSF page.
3) Inside the page fragment (header.jspf), I put a form (id=header_form) with some input fields inside the "subview" element.
4) When running the web application, the form and its children (id=header_form) inside the subview are not rendered.
It seems to be a problem with multiple forms on a page and the subview.
Do I use these JSF components incorrectly? Any advice?
Thanks

The forms are not nested.
hello.jsp
<webuijsf:body ...>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px; left: 0px; top: 0px">
<jsp:directive.include file="Header.jspf"/>
</div>

<webuijsf:form ...>
From above fragment, you can see the header.jspf is outside of the form element.

CS2 Problems with multiple user accounts on 1 machine

I have been having this problem since I first installed CS2 in my Mac lab. I have 8 G5's and I have loaded the exact same software (all licensed of course) on all 8 machines, in the same order. The problem occurs when trying to use CS2 in a second user account on the machines.
All software works fine for the original admin account. Then when I try to open and use in a second account I get crashes and errors, nothing consistent. AND some computers work just fine. HUH? I have called Apple and they suggested repairing permissions, that doesn't work.
I have tried uninstall and reinstall. I have tried making the second user an admin user. I have tried 2nd and 3rd users. I have tried a total system reinstall. I have tried changing the order in which I install. I have tried installing both before and after creation of the second account.
It doesn't seem to matter. On some machines it works, on others it doesn't. The only account the software will work in is the original user account.
The reason this matters is it is a student lab. I have implemented a server and students can't use the software through their server accounts either. Currently the server is a 40lb paperweight until this problem is fixed.
Any clue?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Amy O.

This has to do with permissions in the non admin accounts. A solution was posted a while back you could do a search or somebody will pop in with the solution soon.
