Second system User cannot see files for first system User

For reasons too complex to go into, I had to set up a second system User. (Okay, an Apple tech at the Apple Genius Bar did this, to fix corrupted Apple Mail)
I am both Users. Both are admins.
According to the documentation, User2 should be able to see files belonging to User1 (and vice versa, I presume), but this is not happening. It looks like I have to manually transfer files from User1 to User2. (Once I do this, I will abandon User1, so I don't have to keep them in sync.)
How to set up so User2 has access to User1's files (and vice versa)?

Once you enable sharing, you use the Finder window to go to the other user home folder/directory. For example, if you're logged in as user1 and you want to see the user2 tree, just tell Finder to open /Users/user2 (via the Go command). This assumes that all your user folders are located in /Users - if you have for example a separate disk for user folders then you would substitute that volume name - for example you have all your user home directories on /Volumes/Users, you would tell the Go command /Volumes/Users/user2
Also, just to make something clear - don't spread your files across the two user accounts - copy all the stuff from both into one of the user accounts and then when you have everything you need, you can get rid of the account that is no longer needed. The only problem you might run into is that you have files owned by an account that is different from where they are physically located. But if you copy things (don't move them - copy them) you should not run into this issue. But if you do run into this issue, it is easily resolved with a couple of Terminal commands usually. Do you know how to copy things with Finder as opposed to move them?
Does that help?

  • Distiller will suddenly close/crash the *SECOND* time I open a file for converting to PDF.

    The subject heading says it all: Distiller will suddenly close/crash the *SECOND* time I open a file for converting to PDF.
    But I think I have a clue why this is happening. Typically, I use Distiller to convert EPS or PS files into PDFs. Also, almost without fail, I embed the required fonts (exclusively Type 1) directly into the EPS/PS files (using the required PFA format) so no local fonts on my computer are needed to be looked for by Distiller to be embedded in the resulting PDF; they're already in the EPS/PS files.
    But yesterday, I attempted to convert some EPS/PS files to PDFs using Distiller in which I had NOT embedded the Type 1 fonts (in PFA format, of course) in the source EPS/PS files. The first such conversion would work (in which I select "Open" and choose an EPS/PS file for conversion), but after that initial conversion, the *SECOND* time I clicked on "Open" (open file), Distiller would immediately close/crash.
    I then searched the web for answers, and discovered some people were having trouble getting Distiller to initialize if any of their computer system fonts were read-only. So, I went back to my EPS/PS files and embedded the required Type 1 (PFA format) fonts into them, and then—magically—Distiller worked without a hitch: I could open and convert any number of them in succession, with Distiller never closing/crashing.
    So, I concluded the reason that Distiller had been crashing upon the second attempted opening of a file (again, simply by pressing the "open" button to search for a file to convert, *not* after selecting a file) must have had something to do with Distiller scanning my computer's installed fonts when there was no embedded PFA font to reference, and a read-only font on my system was causing the problem. However, I looked in the two logical places where my fonts should be located (c:\psfonts and c:\windows\fonts), but found *no* font files' attributes set to "read-only" So, I'm stumped.
    I'm using Distiller Pro 10.1.1316 (acrodist.exe) on a Win 8.1 machine. I've found similar posts, going back to 2004, about Distiller immediately crashing after opening when some fonts are read-only; I haven't yet found a post about anyone successfully using Distiller to convert one EPS or PS file to PDF, and then having the program crash when the "Open" button is pressed subsequently. Any clues, anyone?

    Never heard about the crash and that does not sound normal. Be sure to do the updates to Acrobat in case that resolves the issue. You might also check the font settings in the settings file and check to ignore the error if the font can not be embedded and Distiller should use what it considers to be the closest system font.

  • PDE-PLI038 Cannot open file for use as a PL/SQL library

    Hi,
    We are using oracle 12 .0.4 on RHAS 4
    I am trying to compile a .pll file with the following code
    frmcmp_batch module=$AP_TOP/patch/115/sql/apacrndb.pls userid=apps/apps module_type=LIBRARY;
    but it's returning the error
    PDE-PLI038 Cannot open file for use as a PL/SQL library
    Thanks
    Umair

    Umair,
    What is the issue about?
    Usually, it would be required to run the pls files to recreate certain objects (mainly packages) in the database, and you run the pls file from SQL*Plus as apps/applsys user.
    Please update the SR and confirm with Oracle Support what the action plan you need to follow to resolve the issue.

  • Manager cannot see Candidates for assessment in MSS E-Recruiting.

    Hi All,
    Hope everyone is ding good.
    I have an issue in regards with Candidate Assessment by Manager.  Please have a look into this.
    I was able to create Requisition and External application from Recruiter dashboard.
    I can also complete all the activities including Candidate Assessment by Manager with Questionnaire. Manager was able to complete the questionnaire and assessment successfully.
    Finally i could be able to perform Data transfer activity and completed hiring using PA48 Transaction.
    But now, I am not able to perform the Candidate assessment by manager as no candidates are appearing in MSS E-Recruiting --> Candidate assessment.
    Here in MSS  E-Recruiting I can see the requisitions released by Recruiter, but he cannot see Candidates for assessment.
    Any help will be Highly appreciable.
    Thank you in advance.
    -Sekhar

    Hi Sekhar,
    Additionally, the recruiter needs to create a questionnaire activity in status planned for a candidate and assign it to the manager linked to the requisition in order to have it in the MSS screen.

  • Windows user cannot see files copied into a folder

    File share is on a Windows 2008 (R1) server.  
    We use shared folders as mailboxes for users.  When the file scanning person (Heidi) scans the incoming paper mail, it is placed in each user's individual mail folder on a shared drive.  Each user has full control permissions on their mail folder.
     All of our users are running Windows 7 Pro x64, with the exception of two people who run Windows XP SP3.  Heidi is one of those users.  
    Angela has a mail folder with full control permissions.  When Heidi scans something from her desktop and places it in Angie's mail folder, Angela cannot see it from her computer.  Anyone else can see it fine.
    I set up a Windows 7 VM and logged in as Angela and I can see the file with no problems.  So the only time Angie can't see her files is when she's logged in to her computer in her own office.  Anyone know why?  

    Hi,
    You did not mentioned the system version of Angela so I assume it is a Windows 7 system.
    There is a known issue when Windows 7 users accessing a folder, newly created or deleted files are not updated immediately. Please test the following hotfix.
    SMB2 directory cache is not updated correctly if a file is deleted in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2646563/en-us
    Also the rollup update is always recommended to be installed:
    An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

  • Cannot see columns for some of the public synonyms

    Background Info
    I am using the Oracle 8.1.6 JDBC driver and connecting to Oracle 8 database. My plan is to give the user the option to initially select the type of tables that they want to see i.e. USER tables, SYSTEM tables, VIEWS and SYNONYMS. Based on the user selection I first display all the tables (for that type) and for each table selected by a user display the relevant columns.
    I am doing this by using the DatabaseMetaData.getTables () and then the DatabaseMetaData.getColumns () methods
    Problem
    When I use these methods for SYNONYMS I cannot see the columns for lot of the public synonyms. Some the SYNONYMS for which I cannot see the columns are
    ALL_JOBS, COLS, CLU, CAT, TABS.
    As part of the debugging process, I found a java file OracleDatabaseMetadata.java file (as part of 8.0.4 sample files). In this file I see that calls are being made against ALL_TAB_COLUMNS. For each of the synonym that I am seeing the problem, there are no columns in ALL_TAB_COLUMNS. But when I do a desc ALL_JOBS in SQLPLUS, I get the columns for ALL_JOBS. So now I am confused on what is happening in the 8.1.6 JDBC driver.
    Has anyone else run into the same problem.
    Thanks

    There are some cases where Discoverer cannot determine with certainty that the Totals or subtotals you create will be correct. It flags those totals as Values that cannot be aggregated. Go to Options-> Sheet Format and you can set what string you would like to see placed in those cells that Discoverer determines cannot be aggregated correctly.
    Assuming that the blank totals are non-aggregable by Discoverer, there are some things you can do to to alter either your business area or worksheet or calculation that will enable you to get the totals you want. As this analysis takes some time and iterations, it is usually best handled through Oracle Support. Also see the doc and RN references to the EnhancedAggregationStrategy in the Preferences.
    Also, given the version you are using it seems that you have just started using 9.0.2. You should strongly consider upgrading to OracleAS 10g (9.0.4) or at least upgrade to the latest 9.0.2 patch -> 9.0.2.54.

    Understanding the difference between the Live File System and Mastered disc formats
    If you have burned CDs using Windows XP, you are already familiar with the Mastered format. The latest version of Windows offers a new format, called Live File System. Discs that use the Live File System format are often more convenient because you can copy selected files immediately and as often as you want, as if the disc were a floppy disc or USB flash drive. On the other hand, Live File System discs can’t be used in all computers and devices. Use this guide to understand the difference between Live File System and Mastered discs:
    Discs formatted with the Live File System option:
    • Work like a USB flash drive or floppy disk, meaning you can copy files to disc immediately without having to burn them.
    • Are convenient if you want to keep a disc in the burn drive and copy files whenever the need arises.
    • Are only compatible with Windows XP and later versions of Windows.
    Discs formatted with the Mastered option:
    • Don’t copy files immediately, meaning you need to select the entire collection of files that you want to copy to the disc, and then burn them all at once.
    • Are convenient if you want to burn a large collection of files, such as a music CD.
    • Are compatible with older computers and devices such as CD players and DVD players
    Why are there different versions of the Live File System format?
    Each version of the Live File System format is compatible with different operating systems. Depending on which computers you plan to use a disc in, you might need to select a different version of Live File System. If you plan to use your disc on the latest version of Windows, however, you will never need to change the version of Live File System you use. If you need to make discs that are compatible with earlier versions of Windows, use the table below to select the right Live File System version for your needs:
    The following table describes Live File System versions and their appropriate uses.
    Live File System version Best for
    1.02
    This format can be read on Windows 98 as well as many Apple computers. You should use this version if you need to format DVD-RAM or MO (Magneto-optical) discs.
    1.5
    This format is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. It might not be compatible with Windows 98 or Apple computers.
    2.01
    This format is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. It might not compatible with Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Apple computers.
    2.5
    This format is designed for the latest version of Windows and might not be compatible with earlier versions of Windows.

  • Cannot open file for writing...

    I keep getting this error...

    Running CS5 on a Mac.
    Any help is appreciated!!

    This might indicate a problem in AME CS5, but we'll need more information about the clip--and possibly a copy of it--before we can make that judgment.
    If the clip plays on Computer X but not on Computer Y, that could indicate that X has a certain codec that's missing on Y.
    What codec is the clip? What's the extension of the filename (which equates roughly to the type of wrapper)?
    What are the origins of the clip? (e.g., is it straight off of a camera? or was it encoded by another program?)
    Do you have AME 5.0.1 installed on both computers?

  • Slight Color and Quality Shift when viewing RAW files for first time in Library Module.

    Hello,
    I have been shooting RAW for a while and have notice that after I import the images and then start to view them in the Library Module I will see a slight color and quality shift - almost looks like a white balance shift but not quite.   I was thinking that perhaps there was some automatic preset being applied but I don't have any presets at all.
    I am shooting with a Canon 1DX as well as 7D.  I have not checked to see if I get this situation with the 7D, but I know for sure that I get it with the 1DX.
    Today I was reviewing some images in Bridge and decided to open one of them in Camera RAW.   At that time I discovered that the camera's Image Style Settings were available, Faithful, Standard, Portrait, etc.  I noticed that the images did not have one of the camera styles applied to them but rather the Adobe Standard Style. At that point from within RAW I selected one of the camera's styles and bingo thats the kind of shift I am seeing when I first view an image in LR4 Library.
    So as far as I can tell the RAW images are getting the Adobe Standard style applied in LR.   I have no idea if this is a default behavior of if I have done something to cause it.  I'm also thinking that perhaps LR does not necessarily apply the Camera's Styles automatically even though the particular style has been set in the camera -- perhaps is not imported as part of the metadata during the import and thus defaults to the Adobe Standard.
    I guess what I need to know is a few things and I hope someone can educate this newbie! 
    1. Should I expect LR4 to apply the Style as set from the camera automatically or not at all?
    2. Can I prevent LR from applying the Adobe Standard Style and apply no style?
    3. Can I cause LR to apply the Style as set in the camera for the particular image to be appied automatically upon import?
    Thank you for any guidenace you can offer.  Of course if you need additional information or clarification please let me know.
    Scott

    That sort of describes it and may be exactly what is happening.  I have a shoot tonight and will pay closer attention to the process and behavior when I import.
    It is the full image that I see the shift on though.  Its not that the thumbnail and the full size image look different.  It the full size image looking one way and then shifting in front of my eyes.   
    What is frustrating is that I typically find that the image before the shift is better than what appears after the shift, so I find myself always chasing to get back to where it was and because its gone I'm chasing an invisible ideal, so to speak.   Ahhh...isnt that the life of a photographer though!
    It seems like its the last step in the render process -- if I could just figure out what it is and stop it I could finally figure out if I really care or not.  Its just so quick its tough to tell if indeed the first appearance is better.
    I'll feedback some more information when I get a better handle on this.
    Thanks for the reference.

  • Very new to this: Cannot see code for a package in SQL Developer

    I know I'm doing something wrong but I certainly don't know what. I'm looking for the code to go along with a package. I can see the procedures the package calls and I can see a list of procedures but I cannot see the code for those procedures. I have tried using describe on the pop up and I just don't see anything but a window showing me the parameters the procedure will use. I want to see the code it will use.
    Can someone walk me through this or point me in the right direction?
    TIA

    I can only assume you're on 2.1 or 2.1.1 since you don't even say. If you click on the tree showing the various objects after establishing your connection, when you get to packages and you click the package you want, you'll see the spec. Now click on the plus sign and there should be 'package name' body. If you click that body icon, you say you still can't see the code?

  • Cannot override codebase to use local files for first time installation.

    I have an application that is installed via a JNLP link. The application is about 200MB and we use a web start so that each time the application starts it checks for updates in the configuration and downloads them if necessary.
    I have a requirement to provide an offline installation on CD as some of our users have very slow connection speeds and it's taking over an hour to download the binaries.
    I am trying to do the install using the command line javaws -import -codebase <linktolocaldir> <linktojnlp>
    I need to use the jnlp on the sever so that the configuration files are checked and downloaded each time it starts.
    However the local codebase is never used - the dialog always says that it is downloading from the server, I can only get it to install from the local drive if I change the path directly in the JNLP (which is no good as I need to keep this path pointing to the server)
    Is there any other way to override the codebase for the initial installation?
    Any help much appreciated.

  • Cannot see file and folders copied from other windows 8

    Hi everyone,
    The problem is the next:
    I have new PC for that i was asked to setup and install software, i perform on it clean windows 8 install, it have single HDD 1TB that was partitioned by regular windows setup option to system drive C: 100GB and all left space was partitioned as drive D:
    After setup finish i only boot to system to check that everything is OK and without to make ANY change to windows shut it down.
    I physically disconnect HDD from new PC and connect it via standard USB 3 docking device to my own PC that also run windows 8 i can see the new connected HDD with all partitions without any problem! Than i create on second partition on new drive folder and
    copy there some files, after copy finished i disconnect the drive in safe way by performing "eject" option in windows.
    i connect new drive back to new pc, boot to windows and access the second partition and it ... empty, no folder or files on drive, it also show like no space was used !!!
    MOST IMPORTANT ! - Why it don't looks like security or permission or even hardware problem - NO any major security changes was performed on my own (old) PC, but most important fact when i connect other hdd to same dock station and create folder and copy some
    files and then connect it to NEW PC - problem does not exist !!! i can see and access without any problem the folder and files on both PC's !
    I also tried:
    to reinstall windows on new pc
    to create or delete partition after setup in both PC's
    to check folder and drive permissions and adding "everyone" with "full control"
    to turn on "show hidden files and folders" and "system files" too
    to copy or create new different type files
    Interesting - if i create a folder in NEW PC i can see this folder on OLD PC and copy files to it, but whet i connect drive back to NEW PC it sometimes show the folder have those files and even use the appropriate space and programs even try to open those files
    without any security warnings but it cannot be open properly because files looks corrupted !
    Thanks for any help !

    Hi,
    According to your description, I don't think this is system problem. More like HDD or its interface problem.
    Have you tried to reconnect your new HDD to your own computer again after you copy some file to it but couldn't find anything on new computer. If there is problem in new PC, how about your own PC?
    Please have a try, If there was any progress, feel free let us know.
