Restarting my computer even while other users were still logged in

Before updating to Leopard, I used be able to Restart my computer even while other users were still logged in. Yes, I would get a warning that others were still logged in and stuff might be lost in their environments, but for expediency I took the chance and typed in my password as Admin and was allowed to Restart.
This no longer works for me in Leopard.
I found a discussion about this same problem here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5752187&#5752187
Great -- But the solution that that thread leads to is to use the Command Line in the Terminal and figure out whether one's unix ID number jibes with Group ID or Admin ID etc. etc. -- yuck --
Sorry, that's getting a little too technical for me. Is there a GUI solution to this?
Thank you.

Your whole bookmarks story is very confusing to me. Perhaps someone else can explain that better. :)
Can you give me your crash reports?

  • Why one user can not see plan output for some orgs while other users can?

    We have several inventory/planning orgs. Suddenly one of the users is not seeing any plan output for some organizations. While other users are able to see plan out (planner workbench) for all org.
    All users use the same responsibility.
    Deleted all the folders to eliminate hidden query in default folder.
    Any other thoughts?
    Edited by: 918894 on May 5, 2013 10:22 PM

    The issue is resolved.
    In the user preferences, one user has Inventory Category Set and other user has Planning Category Set as the default. Items belonging to one Org were not assigned Planning Category Set. Thus they were not showing for the other user.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Error: 1013020 Cannot clear data for database [Daily] while other users are

    I'm trying to clear a (BSO, v 11.1.2.1) database, and it's failing with the following message:
    Error: 1013020 Cannot clear data for database [Daily] while other users are connected.
    There are no other users connected first of all. Second of all, I've never had a database fail to clear just because other users were connected. Has anyone seen this before?

  • Why does Apple not give a list of error messages and possible solutions? I have the (-54) error continually that has suddenly appeared and cannot find a solution, even though other users seem to have the same problem.

  • Removed users can still log in

    Hi there
    I'm having an odd problem about removed users that can still log in. Users are defined on a OD server (OS X server 10.4.4), the users are put into groups, and the different groups can log in to different computers. Works fine, more or less.
    However, if I remove a user from a group, he can still log in to all the computers he was able to log in before I removed him! Same is true if I remove an entire group from a computer list - all users that were in that group can still log in to the computer.
    E.g:
    iMac; login allowed for Group-1, with User01 and User02
    -> User01 and User02 can log in. Fine.
    Remove User01 from Group-1
    -> User01 can still log in to the iMac. ????
    Removing Group-1 from the iMac computer list
    -> User01 and User02 can still log in. Grrr...
    I did several restarts of both the clients and the OD server, trashed the cache files in /Library/Caches and deleted mcx-caches in Netinfo Manager. Nothing helped. It's starting to drive me mad!!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Tina

    i persume u delete the cache etc on the clients?

  • I recently purchased songs and some of them did not download to my computer but just a few seconds, all the song did not download, while other songs were perfectly fine.  How do I get the full songs downloaded now?

    Some of my recently purchased songs did not fully download while other songs did.  Has anyone else had a problem like this?  Did I do something wrong?  I purchased all the same way, but only received a parcel song on about half of my purchases.  Help.....

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • What do I do when I go to download the new version after deleting the old version and it keeps telling me to restart my computer but when I do it still won't install the new version?

    My son installed a toolbar and I uninstalled it but it didn't disappear. A friend told me if I uninstall firefox and re install it, that the toolbar would be gone. I uninstalled firefox and went to reinstall it and it told me I had to restart to get rid of the old version completely, I restarted my computer and tried to install it again and it keeps coming up with the "you must restart your computer" thing. I have restarted my computer at least 20 times and it keeps happening and I cannot install firefox and its making me mad cause I hate using IE but if I can't figure it out I am going to be forced to use it instead of Firefox :(

    If the toolbar installed something into the rest of the system, you will see an entry in the Control Panel in the software uninstall applet which should be removed. You might need to make a new profile if you cannot find an extension that has something to do with the toolbar.

  • I open firefox it keeps saying"Firefox is already running,but not responding.To open a new window,you must first close the existing Firefox process,or restart your system" i tried restart my computer...but it's still keep saying that..pls help me..

    As I stated above, I have to constantly restart my computer because I get a message stating firefox is already running.

    Do you see a firefox.exe in the Task manager if you look there right after you get this error message?
    You do not have to restart the computer, just kill that process.
    This situation may occur if Firefox was not closed correctly or crashed.

  • Using LDAP Query in Active Directory to see what users are still logged ?

    any suggestions for a LDAP query that I can use in AD to see who is still logged into the network?
    It would be great to distinguish who's logged in with a screen lock which means they aren't really at their PC vs what users are actually using their PCs.
    Thanks in advance!

    I recently posted a framework for checking all machines to see who is logged into them. You can take that and adjust it as you need.

  • Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06 - launching this takes 5 seconds while other users are instant or 1 second.  Need troubleshooting tips or idea's

    It was at 6 to 10 seconds but I unchecked Enable Prtoected Mode at startup and unchecked Enable Enhanced Security.
    Looking for more idea's / suggestions to getting this to open instant / 1 second.
    Impacting several users.
    Win 7 Enterprise SP 1
    Intel i5 1.60 GHz
    64-bit OS

    Thank you for the response, I have tested just clicking on Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.07 and it is launching in 4 to 6 seconds.
    While I do see some improvement I'm still at a loss of why some users can instantly launch this application in (1 second or less) with the same hardware and I have several users still at a 4 seconds.
    I am going to log in as admin and stop some of our services and other background apps and test launching.

  • User cannot move WBS element even though both users were assigned same role

    If same roles have been assigned to 2 users, with same authorization values in all authorization objects for both users, but one user can move WBS element and the other cannot. Can anyone tell me why this happens?

    Hi,
    If parameters are also same, then check whether the roles were properly added. you can do profile generation again. Some times it may not updated the buffer of the user due to some temporary problem in the system.
    If still the problem exist, check with the functional team whether there is any other restriction presents other than authorization to SAP system.

  • Keeps asking me to update to flash 10 everytime I restart my computer even though I already have.

    Whenever I try to view anything with flash it says I haveto update to the latest version(which I did) but it doesn't seem to want to stick to the browser. So in order to get any flash to work I have to close FF4 run the Flash installer again then reopen FF.. '''then it works for a bit '''and then stops working and asks again. I tried this link http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html but the flash wont work so what do I do?

    look like you'd better ask this at adobe's official support pages. well, use windows search, search getflash.exe, and rename it. and be careful, maybe there are not only one getflash.exe in your system. rename them all.
