Slow or complete hangup when changing users

hi! my daughter and i often use the same computer, a MBP
changing users, however, can be tricky, either way slow or just hanging up completely
why?
we have tried completely login out each time as well as just jumping from user to user
please help

Hi papa-kostas,
If your computer is running slow then check out this article for suggestions.
OS X Yosemite: If your Mac runs slowly
It sounds like your computer has a lot going on (Fast User Switching, Boot Camp...). Wondering if it's still at the default 4GB RAM.

Keeping iTunes playing when changing user account

Hi,
I would like to setup a "music" account on our family iMac to select music from within iTunes and send it to our sound system. I'm tired of always having to reshelf CDs!
But for this to work, we need to be able to switch to our own account when we want to use the iMac while iTunes continue playing to the sound system. I did not find any option that may allow me to do this and right now it stops playing as soon as we switch to another account using "fast user switching".
We have Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.0.1.
My other option is to buy a second hand iPod to do this, but I hesitate buying one just for this when my iMac seems perfectly able to handle the task.
Thanks in advance,
Denis

Thank you very much Tom.
It seems AirTunes has been renamed AirPlay. It is not stated that it will keep playing even when I change user account, so I am glad you were able to provide this bit of information. Your suggestion to get an Airport Express appears to be the most realistic and cheap option. As for the AppleTV, it would have been more versatile (music to my sound system, video content to my TV via HDMI), except that my sound system is very old (but still works well) and has no optical audio in, which is the only audio output option for an AppleTV, if I understand well.
It would have been nice though to have the audio out of the mac connected into my sound system and just tell iTunes to keep playing music in the background even when changing user.

Freezing when changing users

I've been having a problem recently where when I try to change users, the login screen freezes up. Goes to spinning beach ball and won't do anything. Any ideas?

Is your signature out of date or have you been updating your Mac regularly as OS X and security updates have become available? Have you updated both the Firmware and the SMC firmware? If you have forced any shutdowns have you booted from the Install DVD and used Disk Utility in the Utilities menu to repair your hard drive? Have you used Disk Utility in Apps/Utilities to repair permissions on your boot volume at the least after installing new software or new software updates?
All of these are just regular care and keeping of a Mac computer to keep it in good working order. Here is a link to a great website with lots of info about the care & keeping of a happy Mac as well as troubleshooting ideas for various issues;

How to trigger event when changing user status?

hi,
I'm having problems in triggering my workflow.
In CIC0, When a status of a service request is changed to 'solution provided' then after saving service request, it should send a notification mail. I'm using ZBUS200116 which is deligated to BUS2000116. I've created event 'change' in ZBUS200116 which is in the start events of my workflow.
I've tried creating an action profile which uses my workflow. The action profile is attached to the transaction but still it doesn't trigger my workflow.
i've checked other existing workflows which uses the same object type BUS2000116 or ZBUS200116. These workflows were triggered by 'created' and 'completed' events only. Other added events in ZBUS200116 like 'changed' is not triggered. How is this possible when ZBUS200116 is deligated to BUS2000116?
Your response would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hi juan
so here we are,now i got complete understanding of what u r doing and why
you know you need not have created that change event because it wont serve your purpose anyway
the reason is that because the way process in your workflow is flowing ,it wont happen that way using change event
you just follow these steps:
1, use created event in your workflow
2. that way when your contract ios created in rpocess status the event will be triggered only because you are creating a transaction whatever may be the status,so in all such cases you should use event created.
3. now coming to the point of change in status or documents in contract
in this case using loop will put you in deadlock and you will only be haing the error in such case
you use WAIT step instead ,inside it use wait using conditions out of every option
there you give your condition as change in whatever status
like if you are chaning the status from in process to some other status ,put that status inside the condition
as soon as that conditioon is met ,the WAIT step will be executed,
that way you will be able to trigger the change in status through thje workflow
so thats the solution with the approach you are using
there are many approaches you can follow in workflows ,so depending upon that you can follow the different worlkflow tools u have there.
also remember when your wait step gets executed there is always the time lag of 20-25 minutes after which changes will be reflected
hope it will solve ur probs
best regards

PS2010: Resource synchronization fails in project site creation and when changes users at the Security Groups.

I am not using AD syncronization for resource pool and security groups in Project Server 2010.
When I publish a new Project or try to create a Project web site manually it creates the Project site, but fails to synch the resources.
If I add or change one or more resources at the Project Managers security group at PWA it also fails to synchronize the root site and existing Project web sites.
I looked at the ULS log and appears the the following error:
Add or remove resources from a Security Group error excerpts:
"GeneralQueueJobFailed (26000) - AddSingleUserMembershipInWss.AddSingleUserMembershipInWssMessage. Details: id='26000' name='GeneralQueueJobFailed' uid='36d89522-f218-4bd2-870e-f07c9292435e' JobUID='f083e721-d7b2-4334-839b-fb10b5c0c513' "

My Project site template is exactly the same than original Project Server site template (for test purpose) but created as Project site and then saved as template with another name.
In both cases there are a reference to "ReportServer", but I do not have either a Report Server installed in the farm or the Reporting Services Service Application.
Any ideas how can I correct this issue?
Best regards, Ricardo Segawa - Segawas Projetos / Microsoft Partner

Hi Segawa,
In the above thread you are saying that there are reference to "Report Server". Save the template to local file system and extract the template. Now check the onet.xml under "Webtemplates" folder. Do you see the references of report server there.
If that is the case, my suggestion would be to recreate the template without the reference for report server and then test the behavior.
Also, you can even remove the reference in the onet.xml and use some compressing tools to rebuild the wsp file and then use that as template.
Happy troubleshooting...

WRT160n v3 has slow connection when multiple users are connected

As of last night my router has been producing slow connectivity when multiple users are connected to it, but it's perfectly fine when only one user is connected.
I am on a laptop myself, but we also have a second laptop and a desktop where the modem and router are set up.
I have upgraded the firmware so that is up to date.
We have Comcast Fiber Optics so my internet speed is normally quite fast even when all of my computers are connected.
Some settings that I have that might help resolve the issue:
I am using DHCP Configuration.
My Channel Width is set to 20 MHz and I am using Channel 11.
The Security Mode is set to WPA Personal. I had it on WPA2 Personal but I read that changing to WPA Personal might help and so far it doesn't seem to have done anything.
I set the Beacon Interval to 50, Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, and RTS Threshold to 2304.
Everything else is set to the default factory configuration.
Just today I received a notice that said "Windows has detected an IP Address Conflict", but ever since I reinstalled the Firmware it hasn't come back. I've rebooted both my laptop and the desktop to confirm it hasn't come back as well.
I consider myself to be computer savy, but I just can't figure out what the problem is as I've tried everything that I could think of including reconfiguring my router and restarting my modem as well. This problem has presented itself in the past before but unfortunately I cannot remember what I did to fix it.

Try using inSSIDer to help you find the best channel.

If that doesn't help, you can try disabling WMM.
Edit: You should use WPA2 AES security for best performance.

I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Data in the table changes when multiple users try to submit data

I have a dynamic table. The table is created in the wdDoModifyView. The user can load data into the table from an excel file. So I have a "Load" button that loads the data from the selected excel file to the table. I also have a "Submit" button. This "Submit" button converts the data to an xml file and make a call to an oracle stored procedure for validation check. If there's an error it will be returned and displayed to the user. If none, a summary of data for posting will be displayed to the user. If the data is correct and the user hit the ok button, the same data will be return to oracle sp for loading in the table.
The problem we encountered is when multiple users are loading and submitting at the same time, the data displayed in the dynamic tables changes after clicking the ok button. It is as if, the table displays the data being loaded by other user.
This is an error that is difficult to recreate. This doesn't happen all the time. I hope you somebody could enlighten me why this is happening. I'm not sure if it has something to do with multithreading or session.
Edited by: Marlyn Agco on Apr 14, 2009 3:57 PM

Hi Armin,
Did you mean storing view instances in static references and accessing them outside the wdDoModifyView is not a good idea? In wdDoInit the nodes are dynamically created according to the xml file being returned by the database. This node is stored in a static variable which is also used in wdDoModifyView to create the dynamic table.
What do you suggest? We're still encountering same issue when multiple users are uploading data.

Identify when a user has change value in USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP before saving

I originally posted and closed this question, but I am still struggling with the code.
The req is now to also update the value of VBAP-LPRIO, so I now have to use the Exit : USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP.
The issue is that my solution must take into account when a user manually overwrites a value and not replace it with a value determined in the user exit.
My problem is that the user might do the following
1 - Create a sales order and enter a new item line, press enter
2 - The user exit is triggered, and I check that XVBAP-UPDKZ = I (user add a new line)
3 - The user-exit determines the new value and populates the field
4- the user then click on the item line, and then manually changes the value of VBAP-LPRIO
5- The user-exit is triggered again, and because XVBAP-UPDKZ = I , my code is triggered and updates the field.
What I want is to identify that a user has manually changed the value and not overwritte the value.
1 - I have check YVBAP and it is blank, as the user has not saved the sales order.
2- The values of VBAP and XVBAP are the same..
3 - I cannot re-read the database (KNVV) table as the user could have populate the value with the same value.
What I need is how to identify when a user has made a change to a field before they save the sales item, as YVBAP is never filled.
Previous post----
Hello,
I am writing a bit of code that will overwrite the payment terms in a sales order item based on a number of factors. (ship-to, incoterms, document type, etc)
I am using the following program MV45AFZB at Exit : USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP. I am using this exit as the users need to see the payment terms after an item has been entered into the sales order and not have the value determined at sales order save.
I am not using USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP as it is only triggered once at the time of creation and not when I change the document. I need it in USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP as users could change the incoterms in VA02, so the code must be redetermined.
My code is working as expected, however, I have a problem when a user enters a sales order item line and then manually changes the payment terms, as my code then is over writes the users values.
The flow is as follows
As user creates a sales order
They populate the sales order header
They populate material number and qty
User exit USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP is triggered and correctly determines the payment terms
The user then double clicks on the sales order item and decides to overwrite the payment terms.
My user-exit is retriggered and check to see if XVBAP-UPDKZ = I (insert)
As it is still an insert, my code triggers.
I have tried to check YVBAP, but no entry exist as it stills is seen as in insert? What I really need to know that while it is still an insert, the user has change the field value and my code should not over write the users value.

When do you need to update LPRIO ? When user makes the change at the Payment terms on line item?

install OS X 10.4.2 on the hard drive, I do not see the disk. What is the problem?

Thanks for the help
I started on the installation CD OS X 10.4.2, I used Disk Utility
to partition the disk according to the document that you have proposed. unfortunately
I have not succeeded. When I partition the disk, even if I called it Macintosh HD, it
does not keep the name and it shows disk0s3 instead. I did an erase on disk.
When I mount the disk it tells me that I must repair. When I tried to repair, I got
the following message:
Volume check failed
The underflying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error.
I also had a message:
Invalid b-tree node size.
Note: The disc is new, but it has already been formatted on a computer Imac 27 inch 2011 OS X Lion.
I used a USB 2.0 to SATA cable to adjust the formatting.
What to do to fix it?

How to generate a notification when a user changes his password?

Hi all,
I have OIM 11.1.1.5.0 BP02 installed. When an administrator resets a user's password, the following email is sent to the user:
Password has been reset for user <Firstname> <Lastname> . You will be required to change your password on next login.
First Name: <Firstname>
Last Name: <Lastname>
Password: passW0rd
+For any issues, please contact [admin email or phone]+
My requirement is to generate a similar email when a user changes his/her own password. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance.

You can use an event handler for this.
Write your own code as a plugin for the event handler (refer to the developers guide for details on event handlers) then you can reference this from your custom event handler XML configuration with operation "CHANGE_PASSWORD"
e.g.
<action-handler class="<CLASS NAME>" entity-type="User" operation="CHANGE_PASSWORD" name="<EVENT HANDLER NAME>" stage="postprocess" sync="TRUE" order="2000" />
The action "RESET_PASSWORD" is also available for administrator change.
