Same installed applications, but different user (issues).

Can anyone tell me why I have to re-enter the licensing information for all but a few, rare applications when I create a new user on my machine? Not ALL software does it, but most does (Adobe was one of the very few NOT to ask for the information again, although I do not know why).
I had to create another user because I was having BIZARRO font issues with the main user account (but none of the others), so I can't just "go back" (besides I am already through the worst of it, but would like to keep this from happening again).
Help?! Thank you in advance for any sage (or otherwise) advice.

That depends on the license agreement of the program. *If it is legal*, then you can look into the Home folder of your old account, go to the Library folder, open Preferences, and look for a file (or files) called com.[company name].[program name].plist. Then you can copy that/those files to the same place in your new account. They may also be in the Application Support folder.

What was the issue? Try deleting the com.apple.systemUIserver.plist file from the ~/Library/Preferences folder in your old account.

2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

Same colour profile, but different users have different colour output!

Installed Snow Leopard on a new Mac mini. Migrated two users from a Leopard install, made one fresh user.
Sticking with the default profile for my monitor (HP 2159m), the freshly-made user matches the colour at the login window. The two migrated users, despite having the same profile selected, show darker colour than this. What gives?!
Tried the guest account, and that matched the login window too. Can only assume this is a preferences issue or something, but having deleted some likely-looking plists (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ColorSyncCalibrator.plist, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ColorSyncUtility.plist and some .GlobalPreferences files in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/), nothing has changed. These two users still have odd colour.
You can watch it change. The new user will stay the same from the login window while the Finder loads, but for the migrated users the colour noticeably darkens immediately after the login window disappears. I'll reiterate: System Preferences claims they've all got the same profile selected.
Any ideas?

In case anyone else finds this, I discovered the root of my problem.
The users with the odd, inconsistent colour profiles had got "Increase Contrast" turned on in Universal Access. Both only slightly, both by the same amount. Highly suspicious, as I know these different users had not changed this setting. Wonder if it's a migration problem. Anyway, colour is now consistent.

How to handle an update of the same record from two different user JSP

how do you handle an update of the same record from two different users in JSP... if one person updates the record from one drop downs should be updated as well.. is the possible.

I'm not sure whether I understand your question. If one user changes a record then you would like other users to see those changes. Normally those changes will be visible to other users when they refresh their browser, after the first user has committed changes to the record. I you want to be sure that the same row isn't updated at the same time by to different user, you need to configure some locking (pessimistic locking) - this depends of what technology you use. In EJB3 pessimistic locking is performed by adding a version to every entity object. If you are using ADF, the framework is able to handle either pessimistic or even optimistic locking.
If you want the changed row to be updated in other users browsers without any user interaction by these users, you should take a look at Reverse Ajax (ex. DWR http://ajaxian.com/archives/reverse-ajax-with-dwr) - or Ajax in general. But you will never get a realtime solution, where changes is visible in other users browsers right after each record update.

TS4147 I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users. We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users. We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

You can't; not if the phones are sharing the same iCloud account. If you want to keep your data separate, migrate one of them to a different iCloud account. (You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.)
To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (this won't effect the other phone), choose Keep on My iPhone, sign back in with a different Apple ID to set up a new account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, then choose Merge to upload the data to the new account. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from each account.
Another option if you're only concerned about not sharing contacts but wish to share everything else, is to set up a second iCloud account on one of the phones and sync contacts with the secondary account. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Keep on My iPhone. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign in with a different Apple ID to create the secondary account, and turn Contacts to On. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's contacts from each account.

how to handle an update of the same record from two different user
how do you handle an update of the same record from two different users in JSP... if one person updates the record from one drop downs should be updated as well.. is the possible.

Usually, if two users try to update the same row at the same time, you want the first to commit to succeed, and when the second commits, they should fail with the error that the row was being concurrently updated. They you may want to show them the new row values and give them the opportunity to merge their values with the new row values...
How can you achieve this? Google optimistic locking.

Using applications across different users

I've recently been having problems with the dreaded screen freeze. To allay this I have set up a few different user logins, and it seems like a good way of splitting my work and play.
The problem I am having, on my new user login, is that the applications folder is available to all users on the same computer BUT it is saying that the programs are unregistered / trial versions when they are working fine on the other account.
Do I have to go through the process of registering each individual program to then use it with a new user account (on the same computer)?
help!
can I put all of the applications I want to share in the shared folder and avoid mulitple registrations for the same program?

Install the application in your administrator account, then go to first user account and run the application and get the settings as you like them. Then copy (hold down the Option key) the preference file for the application to the "Drop Box" in each of the other user's "Public" folder. Then login to each of the other user accounts and move the file from the "Drop Box" to the "Preferences" folder in that user's "Library" folder. If you are lucky, this may also have copy the registration information.
Most companies will send you a copy of your registration info if you e-mail them (assuming your e-mail address hasn't changed since you bought it).

LabView hangs when trying to load the same VI with a different user logged onto Win2k

When 'User A' is logged onto Win2k, a particular VI loads and runs fine. When 'User B' logs onto the same Win2k box, LabView hangs when trying to load the VI.
I'm also not seeing the setup channels in the Data Neighborhood in MAX when logged on as 'User B'. I tried loading the configuration when logged on as 'User B' that I think is being used for 'User A', but nothing happens.
Where are the configuration files (of whatever type) that tell LabView which user is logged on?
Thank you!

There are no configuration files that tells LabVIEW what users are logged on. It is Win2K permissions settings that allow different users access to different folders and applications. Try changing the permissions for the LabVIEW folder and see if that doesn't fix your problem.

Same Apple ID but different emails

First off, some info about my situation...I have a 4S, iPad 2 and MBP. I am the only one in my household that has iOS5 and can therefore use iCloud. When I was going through signup for iCloud, it asked for an existing Apple ID, so I used my iTunes account one (a Gmail address) and it then created a me.com email. So far, so good.
Like many, I then thought it'd much easier if I could just use the new me.com address for everything Apple related from now on, so I tried to change the email address associated with my Apple ID to the me.com address...but no joy, as I kept getting the you can't use a MobileMe account etc. message (even though I've never had one!). I then noticed that somehow (I guess when I used my existing Apple ID to join iCloud) my me.com address was already listed as an alternate email for my Apple ID.
I can log in to all things Apple related using either email address (although iTunes still shows my Gmail address even if I log in using the me.com address).
Apple support files recommend that most users use the same Apple ID for both iTunes and iCloud. Am I right in thinking that as the 2 email addresses are linked and are the same Apple ID that it won't make any difference what email I use for either (so if I wanted I could use the me.com for iCloud as my "Apple ID" and the Gmail for iTunes, or vice versa or even use one for both)?
Secondly, I'd like to use the new me.com address I created for FaceTime and iMessage...I have signed into FaceTime on OS X using the me.com address and on my 4S, under their respective setting I've also done this (plus I've put the me.com address for "You can be reached for video calls at"). Can people FaceTime etc. only if they know my me.com address or can they also use my Gmail address, seeing as they are the same Apple ID? I also realise that I can also add my Gmail address as an alternate for FaceTime and iMessages but do I need to, as again they are the same Apple ID?
Sorry for the long winded post but thought it best to give as much as info as possible and hope it's written clearly!

You can have the same Apple Id, but you do need to have different email addresses for the "You can be Reached by Facetime At" section under settings.
If that is o.k, then make sure the email address you set for each device is the one being used to initiate the facetime call.
If your facetime call is initiated using the email from the Apple ID its effectively like calling yourself.

Why not "oracle" as the owning user account? That is the universal standard.
i was trying to create another database from user like "DEF" using the same oracle binaries.
Why a different user? And how were you trying to create the database? DBCA? sqlplus with a CREATE DATABASE script?

Too bad you didn't think reporting the actual error might be helpful.
