QT Macworld keynote works with new user account

Hi,
This is a really annoying problem, I can only watch yesterdays Macworld keynote if I setup a new user account and view using that user.
When I login using my own user account the QT stream just times out. I have checked all my network and QT settings and they are exactly the same for both users. I have also tried reinstalling and the problem remains.
If anyone has any idea of what could be causing this to happen I would be very greatful.
Stephen

This worked for me!

The fact that it works for one user and not another, I suggest looking at your locations tab in the Network control panel, and simplifying your life if you have multiple locations, and then make sure that the proxy settings (particularly the proxy.pac setting) is either reachable when you use Quicktime or not set at all. I removed it, problem solved.
Here's the image of an empty proxy.pac setting. In the network control panel, you have to scroll down to see it, so you may have missed it when you did your comparisons:

Office 2011 will not open in OS 10.9 with main user -- works with new user. Suggestions??

Office 2011 will not open in Mavericks with main user -- works with new user. Suggestions??
I've tried removing Office 2011 completely and re-installing to no avail.

Unfortunately, my experience with Office is that somethoping will get corrupted in your account that prevents it from running. I have never figured out what exactly needs to be removed to make it work again.

ITunes does not launch with new User Account (Vista)

One of my limited user accounts on Windows Vista because corrupt, so I created a new limited User Account and copied ALL of the files from the old to new.
Now, when I try to launch itunes on the new user account, it will not open at all. Itunes works on my administrative account, with no problem.
Can someone tell me the most pain-free way to resolve this issue. And, whatever solution, will I be at risk of losing my itunes libraries?
Thank you in advance.

Hiya. Delayed again. Browsers being cranky. (I blame the aftershocks.)
It's actually plausible that it was installed in there (by doing a run as administrator on the installer itunes64setup.exe, perhaps). Because that suggests a possible cause for these continual permissions-related problems.
A lot of what you're seeing is consistent with damaged ACLs (access control lists) on files, folders and registry keys. Although it's a lot rarer than it used to be, one of the ways you could get borked ACLs was if a program (like iTunes or QuickTime) was installed in one user account, and then the user account it had been installed in was deleted (or otherwise rendered unusable).
We don't know which particular permissions are stuffed up here. But there's a shotgun approach to fixing them which used to work okay, although it's a bit fiddlier to do on a 64-bit system than a 32-bit system.
I'd strongly recommend setting up a system restore point prior to doing this, so you can revert if things turn to custard.
The basic technique you follow is from the following blog entry *with one important modification.*
[Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions|http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-e rrors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx]
The modification is that when you're editing the file to replace YOURUSERNAME with the name of the account, edit the first line so that %ProgramFiles% instead says %ProgramFiles(x86)% and after the line that reads:
*subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
... add another line saying:
*subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles(x86)%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
(The first is to make sure the commands see the subinacl, because it installs in \Program Files (x86)\ on 64-bit systems, and the second alteration is to make sure that the permissions for the 32-bit program files are fixed too.
After doing that (it'll take a while to run), can itunes launch normally in the new account?

HT3309 Share mail settings with new user account on the same mac?

I have had to set-up a new user account on my mbp to use a new piece of software which refused to work on the main user account. I want to transfer the mail settings from the original one simply so that mail opens in an identical way whichever account I'm siging in with.

Oops.
If you just need Mail settings, only copy

OS Lion - Difference image quality in EyeTV with new user account?

Hi Everyone,
My computer has been crashing ever since installing Lion, mainly on the Mail app it appears, so I created a new user account and have set that up to use.
I have an Elgato Eye TV Hybrid with EyeTv for watching TV. The image settings are the same on both user accounts, but the new user account is extremely grainy. Any ideas about why it would be different on multiple accounts?

pod meister,
quite as yr office person says. It would be wrong to remove all the apps. I would not be sure what ElGato can mean when they say the test user has no apps!. Elgato (?) will need to use some apps for it's normal operation, and the more general user functions will as well. You would msee in yr 'Parentalo controls, in sys prefs pane that there are 'helper apps' that you can allow or not to any controlled user. So there are helper apps.
You can 'turn off' lots of system extensions with a special boot up but won't Elgato need some of them? It is after all the operation of Elgato that you want to test.
The usual dodgy 'apps' are starup items like so called haxies which moderate certain basic system operations. You could start by disabling the.
You might care to consider that Elagto is shoveling the blame onto 'the rest of the world' saying it 'is something else',but I may be wrong.

Trouble with CS2 on Mac G5 with new user accounts - activation issues?

My system is a Mac G5 Quad running OS 10.5.8, and I have the CS2 premium suite. When I bought the machine I did everything under one user account. Several months ago the account started giving me a few problems, and my circumstances changed, so it made sense to create new, separate user accounts on my Mac for work and personal use.
Recently I offered to help a friend out with some design work and tried to start InDesign CS2 from my new business account. I was immediately presented with a demand for a serial number. I looked it up and entered it. An error popped up that said
"Invalid Serial Number
The serial number you provided is not valid.
Please check your serial number and re-enter it."
I tried a couple more times, making sure I had it right. No success.
I gave up and launched my original user account, launched InDesign and started the project. I set the document up and tried to save it. InDesign displayed an error stating "Cannot save "Untitled-1" under a new name. The file "DBTmp[bunch of numbers]" is damaged (error code:0" Each time I relaunched and tried again the temp filename was different.
So now I suddenly am without one of my primary tools and have no idea how to get it back. I am guessing this is a problem with the activation mechanism, but can't find many resources on this topic. It would appear that my attempt to launch InDesign from my new account triggered a piracy protection code or something.
I am typing this while waiting on hold for Adobe support. 25 minutes and counting...
Thanks.
Paul

Bob, Thank you so much!
I already have Acrobat 8.2.4, so I didn't start installing 8.2.2. However, I started working through solution 2 and discovered my new business user account was denied access to /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/. I changed the permissions on that directory to give my account read access, and InDesign fired up like normal. I didn't even need to replace the files.
Thanks again for the assistance.
It's interesting to learn CS2 is not supported in my OS version. It works fine (until this).

IOS 5.0 and iPhone along with "new user account"

I do hate this hacking aspect of all software, but with iTunes especially.
Earlier I tried to remove some duplicates in the iTunes on my old computer, but time after time they popped back from the trash can, what the heck!
There was a running computer with my iTunes account and everything was fine. Later I even made a restore to new phone after previous phone got lost.
Then I had to buy new laptop to replace the old as it got broken.
As instructed, I installed iTunes onto the new computer and was able to connect my Apple Store account and purchased Apps.
Then after I copied everything in the Apple Computer - folders and iTunes in my old (same user account name) to the new computer, now running with Windows 7 (former laptop had XP).
Now my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0) does not sync.
Sync failed to start...
Also I wonder what is the reason not to be able to sync back from the handheld? Nokia has that and it really works. When I have new contacts and restore from backup I loose my contacts, since there is no sync file on the new computer. Why the system does not work automatically and sync back from the phone, if no source files found on the computer? The back sync coud be asked every time new phone or ipod/pad is connected.
Im starting to be absolutely fed up with this constant browsing through discussions forums and what ever hacking pages to get things running that I'm just about to throw the device into the lake next to my house. AAARGH!
Why do we even accept this? Who would buy or use a car, that had to be repaired or re-booted every 10 miles?
Great jobs!

Can't get iTunes to work with 2 User Accounts

I've tried to find my specific problem on previous threads but it seems that each situation is just a little different. I have two user accounts on my family shared Windows XP Home edition PC. Last week I installed my son's iPod/iTunes using the install disc. I changed the default to C:\documents and settings\user1\My Documents. Life was good. Then I got an iPod of my own. I followed the same install as above only changed the path to user2's account. I went to iTunes and everything was working just fine for user2. The next time user1 tried to access iTunes on his desktop under his Windows user account, he said it just kept searching. (Windows error message with flashlight) He decided to pop the install disc in and see what happens. (yikes!) He took all of the defaults and left both users with nothing working. Infact at that point iTunes was still on the user desktops but only pages and pages of HTML code would display if you tried to launch iTunes. I deleted all traces of itunes and iPod I could locate and went through the same reinstall process as before. I was able to locate user 2's libary and everything worked fine. (That's mine) Poor user1,(my son) we can't get anything installed to his user. The install disk recognizes only my installation and wants to remove everything first. I;ve done that a few times and still can only get user 2 working but not both.

Why does Flash not work with multiple user-accounts on a single PC?

Running XP-Professional (MediaCenter), SP3 and using IE 8, NIS 2010 (disabled during the installation of FP), 3 different user accounts on a single PC
As user A (admin) installed FP ver. 10.0.45.2, and it works fine under the admin account, however, when logging-on as user B. FP is not recognized (?) and user B is asked to intall FP agian, however, the installation fails.
After removing the FP installation (as being user A) and then install FP as user B (who has also admin rights) , FP works fine for user B, however for user A, FP is not installed/recoginzed (?), and user A is being asked to install FP, however that installation the fails, and so on and so on , . . . . .
Any suggestion to resolve this irritating behaviour?

CIFS shares not working, created new user accounts

I have a solaris 11.1 x86 system running, where after recreating user accounts, so that they have a home dir, they lost smb/cifs access.
I ran the following cmds:
userdel <username>
useradd -m <username>
passwd <username>
CIFS access was setup and worked before this change, using the solaris cifs server.
The setup was done following the guide geving on paulies world blog.
The error seen on the windows 7 client is: "The network path cannot be found"
I have added the line "*.debug /var/adm/messages" to the '/etc/syslog.conf' file.
This gives serveral errors of the format "date&time hostname smbsrv: [id xxxxxx kern.notice] NOTICE: [hostname\guest]: <sharename> bad path: /<zpool name>/<zfs name>
Any advice on how to restore smb access:)

sorry, but i followed these instructions and the icon has reappeared, but now i get a message that says preferences error, could not load accounts after having run the combo updater
NB. my iBook originally came with panther, not tiger, does this make a difference?

Working with multiple user accounts on the same folio/article

Hi,
i have the follwing issue:
- User A owns the folio (the one that publsihes it), the folio is shared with user B and C
- User B is the graphics designer. He does the Artwork
- Usee C should do the textutal corrections
Problem:
- User C cannot access the Articles User B has created
Question: What is the right solution for this kind of problem? Two (or more) people should be able to work on an article using their personal account. The only solution I see at the moment is to create a specific "designer-account" per folio project that all these people share.
Are there any other options
cheers
Thomas

Thanks for the quick responses.
The sharing of the data is not the problem, in fact, cloud storage can be one of the solutions. But regardless, if people work on different locations or in the same intranet, it can always happen, that designer B goes on holiday and there needs to be done a change on one of the articles inside the folio that B has been working on. It is a pitty, that Designer C cannot take over and do the changes without either having to have user/password of B or "destroying" the folio settings, removing the article completely and re-entering it drom scratch (with all correct settings, namings etc) what makes B having to do the same, as soon as he comes back. This might also have to do with the absolute path references used in folios instead of logical ones (every user can set as "folioroot" on his computer) what also would make the dropbox (or adobe cloud) approach work, as everybody would share the same subfile structure and could "jumpstart" working on the folio.
Nevertheless, thanks for the answeres, things work as they do. I was just wondering if I am doing something wrong.
We will now create shared working users per project, so everybody involved in the project will use that user.

Toshiba Power Saver doesn't work with limited user account

Hello,
this same question was posted in 2006 - not by me - with no successful answer. I try again.
If you create a user with restrictions account (member of the local USERS group) in XP, then he cannot manage either the embedded Windows power options, and the Toshiba Power Saving tool.
I managed, working on file and registry permissions, to have the Windows power options working. But I still can't launch the Toshiba Power Saving tool, it always pop-ups the "you don't have rights" box.
Is there really nothing I can do to work around this?
thanks

I have the exact same problem on my Tecra 9100 (PT910E) just accquired on Ebay with minimum XP Pro SP2 installation.
Akuma I tried to your advice with my Power saver version 5.04.00 (file 20071126153401) without success.
The only way I could find to run Power saver is directly from the icon in the Admin account, or through the console. I could not then find "setup options" only "Details" of the various power schemes. No "Allow Limited User to change settings" box/button anywhere.
Can you clarify further ?
thanks

Satellite M40-307: Accessibility utility doesn't work with limited user account

Hello everybody,
I have got a Satellite M40-307 (PSM44E), and I have got a problem with the "accessibility" utility, that displays an icon in the Windows XP notification bar, to let the user know whether the "Fn" key is active or not.
That this utility would not work for the administrator would not worry me a lot, as the administrator is supposed to know what he does. But the limited user does not have access to it, this more bothering.
In an administrator session, this utility works pretty fine. But in a limited user session, if I try to launch it by [runas /user:admin "C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Windows Utilities\TACSPROP.exe"],
I am answered that the file TCMSVR.DLL cannot be found. If I launch it normally, a message tells me that this utility requires I am connected as an administrator.
So, what can I do to use this utility normally, i.e. in a limited user session*?

Hello Markus,
Did you read ?
I executed TACSPROP with the admin rights, and it does not run.
So, to follow you, I had a look, on TACSPROP.EXE and TACSPROP.DLL, the users had "read/execute" and "read" rights. I provided "full rights", and it solved nothing.
Obviously another program must be launched before, that is by default launched only by the administrator, and I am searching what program it is.
Thank you.

Illustrator CC will only launch in new user account.

I have been having trouble with the main user account settings causing newly installed apps to crash.
I couldn't install Adobe Creative Cloud apps on the main user account… they kept crashing on launch.
With the help of Adobe Support (taking remote control of my Mac), after trying and trying to install them on my main user account, they eventually successfully installed them in a new user account with no problem. However, this is a work-around and not the best solution.
It appears that the main user account settings conflicted with the product launch. On successfully installing on the new user account they strongly suggested that that I should now contact you guys at Apple Support to check for the permissions/settings on the main user account and check if there are any certain permissions that may conflict with the Adobe Illustrator CC.
As advised, I contacted Apple Supprt and have spent several hours and did the following with their help:
DISK UTILITY
Verified Disk Permissions
Repaired Disk Permissions
Verified Disk
ADOBE PRODUCTS
Confirmed that Acrobat XI Pro worked in Admin user account
Confirmed that Dreamweaver CC worked in Admin user account
Confirmed that InDesign CC worked in Admin user account
Confirmed that Bridge CC worked in Admin user account
Confirmed that Photoshop CC worked in Admin user account
Confirmed that Illustrator CC failed in Admin user account, but worked in new user account.
Uninstalled Illustrator CC and reinstalled it through Creative Cloud CC
Removed all Illustrator 17 Preferences in both Libraries
As before Illustrator CC failed in Admin user account, but worked in new user account.
APPLE SUPPORT SUGGESTION
I should return to you, saying, "...this would be best handled by the adobe support reps. User specific errors can occur in any application and there are things that the 3rd party vendor can look at to resolve this issue."
I'm getting batted back and forth like a tennis ball. Any solid suggestions? Has anyone been through this loop?

Hi creatorii,
You need to make sure if you have proper permissions set on the right folders.
Please follow the steps below and let me know :
- Go > Go To Folder. Type ~/library and you will get Preferences folder.
- Control-click the folder and choose Get Info.
- Expand the Sharing & Permissions section.
- Click the lock icon in the lower-right corner.
- Expand the Sharing & Permissions section.
- Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted, and then click OK.
- Click on + icon and add the Admin and all users showing.
- Set permission for all users and admin as read/write
- Click the Gear icon, and select Apply to Enclosed Item
Follow the same steps for the below folder too
Choose Go > Go To Folder. Type ~/library/Application support and give full permission to Adobe folder.
Launch Illustrator and check.
