Safari not working on my computer user account, works fine for other users.

Safari hangs up and barely opens a page, or the beach ball just spins and then Safari dies. This is only happening on my user account, and on the other user accounts Safari is working fine. I have tried most recommendations, including resetting Safari, inserting DNS 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, and turning off plug-ins.
Thanks for any help on this.
I am using Safari v.4.0.4

Just wanted to add that I am also have the exact same issue. I have not added anything new to my computer. I have not downloaded anything off of the internet, installed any new programs, or changed any preferences. I am running 10.6.2 and Safari 4.0.4
This is extremely frustrating. It makes absolutely no sense.

UltraNav and TrackPoint not working for my user account - but ok for others...

Got a strange one on my X201T. For some reason I can't fathom, my laptop's Trackpoint, Touchpad and all their associated buttons do not work when I log into my laptop - they did before but in the last few days, they've stopped. My external USB still works fine when connected.
However, if, for example, I do 'ctrl-alt-del' and lock the laptop, they start working again until the moment I'm logged back in. Also, If I log in on a Guest account, they all work fine! This suggests it's not the hardware, I think.
I've looked at the Control Panel / Mouse dialogue and the options under the UltraNav tab are all greyed out - but they are not on the Guest account. Somehow, my user account on the laptop is not allowing me to use the Trackpoint, etc.
My external USB mouse works fine in all accounts, btw.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I've updated drivers through Lenovo update (though none seemed related to this problem).
Any thoughts how I can fix this?

kokoko, I had this problem last week. I solved it by removing "thinkpad ultranav driver" and "thinkpad ultranav utility," rebooting and reinstalling them. It hasn't happened again.

IPhoto quits unexpectedly before loading, but works fine for other user

iPhoto won't load, it bounces on the dock, the menus load across the top, and then the message "the application iPhoto has unexpectedly quit..." comes up.
When iPhoto is started by another user, it loads well, although there are no photos in that one.
I tried removing all photos from mine and that didn't do anything, it still failed to load.
I also trashed the com.apple.iphoto.plist file, and that did nothing.
This is a new mac, and the last thing I did when iPhoto worked was import a whole bunch of photos from an external hard=drive (which had come from iPhoto on my old emac). I watched while it imported, and it seemed ok.
Then I changed the desktop picture to a photo out of that library. Just to see whether that had anything to do with it, I removed that picture from the desktop, but that didn't stop iPhoto quitting again.
I also tried holding down option while opening iPhoto to manually choose the library. Funnily enough, the iPhoto library file in my Pictures folder wasn't available - I could see it, but it was grayed out and couldn't be selected. Then I tried creating a new one - iPhoto Library 2, but that didn't stop the program from quitting either.
There is 3.38 GB of photos in the original photo folder.
Is there anything else I can do? I can see that all the files are there when I open the originals folder, I just can't get iPhoto to work.
thanks in advance!
Lachlan

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Since it works OK in the other account there may be a preference file other than iPhoto's that's interfering with iPhoto. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Perhaps the GPO prevent you from logging locally with user account that is NOT member of domain users. You should change GPO and either wait for applying it of force the update. Remember that some GPO may need restart.

Fcp quits on opening, works fine with other user account

fcp quits right after asking where my camera/deck is. it just drops back to finder, with no apology. my backup user account works like a charm.
how do i rectify this? FCP Rescue didn't do it, I'm afraid.
thanks

FCP Rescue won't work if you don't have the mail.app in your applications directory...
Do you get any errors on the Console? (/Applications/Utilities/Console)

How do i transfer a rented movie from my user account to my wife's user account?

How do I transfer a rented movie from my user account to my wife's user account? I sync my iPad with my user account and she sync's her iPad with her user account, but she wants the movie I downloaded onto her iPad. (We use the same apple ID).

Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music." - e.g. adding music from a second computer to an i-device.
Hold on. I don't know if the above will work with a rented movie. There's all kinds of restrictions on what you can do with rented movies.

Updated iphone4 to ios5 - get Device not supported for icloud - worked fine for other iphone4

Updated iphone4 to ios5 - get "Device Not Supported" message - worked fine for other iphone4 & ipad. Why is this iphone "not qualified for icloud"?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

3 user profiles on mac book pro. cant see one account in time machine - has it backed up? and for other users ''no permission'' to open folders - i just want to know that stuff IS backed up (before attempting upgrade to lion)

We have 3 user profiles on mac book pro. want to upgrade to lion but want to be sure that all users are backed up to ext hard drive via Time Machine. When I go into Time Machine - I cant find anywhere my user account (1 of the 3) - loads of photos and documents. For other user accounts - if i go to open a folder i cant ''no permission'' is the message. All I want to be sure of is that there is a back up and for these 2 reasons I am far from sure.

Be sure they're not excluded in Time Machine Preferences > Options.
Also, if iPhoto is open while a backup is running, Time Machine may not be able to back up the changes in the iPhoto Library. It will "catch up" the next time, if it can.
For other user accounts - if i go to open a folder i cant ''no permission'' is the message. All I want to be sure of is that there is a back up and for these 2 reasons I am far from sure.
That's correct; one user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have access to another user's files. You should see the same behavior if you try to look at their data on your Mac.
Log on as the other users (or have them do it) to see their backups.

Don't create a new iTunes account.

IBot user not receiving dashboard alert/email not the case for other users

Hi,
I have a user who can create iBots and is able to deliver them to other users. However the user themselves cannot receive any iBot alerts on the dashboard or via email, even for iBots that they create themselves.
I've checked their account setting and their email is configured, they are part of the correct user groups etc. This user has never been able to receive any iBot alerts or any iBot content.
Can you let me know what else I can check as iBots are working for other users?
Regards,
AT

Thanks Jay,
They are part of the same group (in fact thety are part more groups as well) as other users for whom alerts and iBots work. They have the relevant priviliges under Delivers, their email is correct.
They have access to the relevant Subject Area as it is ther user themselves who create the report and try to send it out using and iBot, other users receive the report apart from themselves. They themselves don't receive any alerts or emails.
Rregards,

I want to secure my email account for other users of the i-pad. Is this possible?

I want to secure my e-mail account for other users of the i-pad....
Is this possible???

no.
The only way is if you use a webmail app - not the included e-mail app - so you can password protect it online.
The iPad is meant to be a single user device so it has no protocols to partition off any part of it (beyond what restrictions allow)

Why am I getting this message on my e-mail account: User account temporarily unavailable for system maintenance

Why am I getting this message on my e-mail account: User account temporarily unavailable for system maintenance?

Is there a solution to this issue? I have an iPhone and an iPad that sync with Outlook using iTunes. Every now and then the contacts, calander and notes become unchecked for both the iPhone and iPad. When I recheck them and "Apply" I get this message: The information on the iPad is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPad with the information from this user account?
As far as U know I have only one User Account. I see that many people have this issue. why isn't there a solution?

Shared Computer - Want Creative Cloud Application for single user only on Mac

Hi, the creative cloud icon appears in the menu bar for all users on our family mac. I only want it for my own user, not for my family users, because they are asked about CC user and password. How can I set it up so that it doesn't appear in the menu bar for the other users? Note: The menu "Settings" can only be reached when logging on to Adobe CC first - so this is not an option as they don't have such a user.

Hi,
unfortunately the description on how to disable doesn't work (I found it already in the internet before).
- For my own user (and also when I'm logging on with a family user), the Creative Cloud App doesn't appear in the list of apps. (See screenshot).
- For other users, it the "Log In Items" (German: Anmeldeobjekte) doesn't even appear (see screenshot).
