Also you mentioned it worked in Gnome and XFCE but you didn't say which distro; if you meant Gnome and XFCE in Arch then disregard my next sentence. Did you configure ALSA during the Arch install? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#Part_III:_Install_X_and_configure_ALSA

Itunes not working in one user account

I'm running OSX 10.6.8 and the latest iTunes software. My iTunes has stopped working on one user account only, the menu is completely greyed out and will not function when launched. To quit iTunes I have to use force quit. I've tried deleting the plist preferences, re-installing iTunes from a back up and also re-installing from new, but the same fault persists. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Delete all gnome config files before (the .gnome* directories) and also caches and session config (somewhere in .config directory). You will lost all application config, but I do it from time to time and it solves even some application bugs.

Flash player does not work under one user account.

Flash player does not work under one of my user accounts.
My system: I work with a mac mini with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
What I have done:
I installed the flash player maybe one year ago under my "first" user account. At that time this user account had had administrator authorization. In the meantime I had to change this "first" user account in an account without administrator authorization and created an administrator user with which I installed different programms. Lately, the message came up that it would be necessary to update the flash player. I did it; under the "first" user account, but of course with the administrator's password for installing. The installation had been "successful" - so I was told. But it did not run. I tried it again and again. Each time with "deinstallation" first. No way; it did not work.
After asking Adobe for the reason of the problem, they suggested to install the programm directly under the administrator user. I did that (of course after deinstalling under the "first" user account) with the result, that flash player runs under my administrator and my "second" user account, but not under the first user account. There I am always told to update my flash player.
With this result, I talked to Adobe. So they told me to contact the producer of the operating software, since this would be a mistake of the operating software.
And here I am - full of hope to get help from you.
Thanks for reading. And thanks in advance for helping me.

Any update to provide at all here guys? Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs). I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing. If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
Thoughts???

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.

Caps Key not working in main user account

Caps key does work in a guest account. Just bought this 13" Macbook Pro and transferred my user account from my old Powerbook. Over the air since I didn't have a firewire 800 to 400 cable. Everything seems to work fine but that.
Should I do a backup and then full restore? I can use SuperDuper or Time Machine.
Any ideas?

What OS do you have on the Power Book? If you have an older OS on the PowerBook, you won't be able to restore that clone to your new computer, as you can't have an OS older than the hardware.
Here is what I would do. Clone the drive to an external. Then run migration assistant and transfer your files. Then see if the problems persist. If everything is good, then no worries. If problems persist, I would bite the bullet, do a clean install, and unfortunately, drag and drop. You really only need to drag the main folders of your Home folder (Documents, Movies, Pictures, Music). That's where usually all the user-created content is. If you have it saved in other locations, you'll have to move that. I save all my stuff in these folders, so a drag+drop is pretty simple when I need to do it.
As for your app settings and app support in your Library folder, on a computer that old, I'd reinstall all those apps, and go through my app preferences from scratch. Depending on how many apps you have, it's not a daunting task.
I actually enjoy clean installs, as they give me an opportunity to get rid of junk I don't need, and apps I don't use. Plus they make your computer run faster.

Why does Flash not work with multiple user-accounts on a single PC?

Running XP-Professional (MediaCenter), SP3 and using IE 8, NIS 2010 (disabled during the installation of FP), 3 different user accounts on a single PC
As user A (admin) installed FP ver. 10.0.45.2, and it works fine under the admin account, however, when logging-on as user B. FP is not recognized (?) and user B is asked to intall FP agian, however, the installation fails.
After removing the FP installation (as being user A) and then install FP as user B (who has also admin rights) , FP works fine for user B, however for user A, FP is not installed/recoginzed (?), and user A is being asked to install FP, however that installation the fails, and so on and so on , . . . . .
Any suggestion to resolve this irritating behaviour?

ISight not working from one user account on MacBook

Hi everyone,
It'd be great to get some help with fixing an iSight camera. I've followed the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
and have narrowed it down to a particular user account (it has admin permissions). Other user accounts can access the iSight fine. However, every application I try under that one user account can't access the iSight.
Unfortunatly it's my wife's account. She quite likes to skype her family in the earthquake prone area of New Zealand called Christchurch.
Any ideas of things I could try, permissions I could reset, etc would be great.
I've tried:
* resetting the PRAM
* resetting the SMC
* rebooting
* fixing disk permissions (from multiple accounts)
I've got a reasonably techy background, so even telling me the device node that the iSight is accessable on would be useful - that way I can manually check the permissions on that.
Thanks!
Tim

Hi Tim,
That was partly my fault (well actually it was entirely my fault)
I missed this bit:-
However, every application I try under that one user account can't access the iSight.
Now it is really Odd that this one user cannot access the camera at all in any App where as other users on the Mac can.
I would start with the FONT BOOK.
Check that all Fonts are active, particularly the System Fonts.
Certain Apple Apps will not work properly if Helvetica or Lucida Grande are turned Off or Missing.
Basically we are looking for something that she has changed (or has become corrupt) that is not directly linked to the camera but is needed (there is no direct way to turn On or Off the camera access). (Fonts are first choice)
Next check the Address Book.
Is the My Card (Head and Shoulders icon) actually listing her details.
Have a look at this
This Apple Article refers to a .plist that is a System wide one.
However as a .plist it may be the thing that is blocking access to one user.
I don't have it on my G4/1GHz Dual processor running 10.5.8 but neither do I have iMovie 7 (from iLife '08)
Some people have reported that removing this gets the camera back for iChat.
Make the Address Book Export of copy of itself (File Menu > Export > Archive)
After that I would try moving (NOT Deleting) the whole contents of her Home Folder/Library/Preferences.
Then Restart the computer then try specific apps.
If Skype then works you will know it is one of the .plists that you moved.
Then comes the monotonous bit of moving back some .plists at a time until you can narrow down the one that is at fault.
Have you tried a Safe Boot ? (it will need another restart after it has done that)

Keyboard is not working on one user account

Only one user account on my iMac cannot use the keyboard. All other accounts including the admin works fine. But after my daughter signs in to her account (using the keyboard to type her password) the keyboard is no longer detected by bluetooth. The mouse works fine and it seems as though the keyboard actually loses power too because the caps lock button does not even light up anymore. Please help!

Hello ChristinaM004,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning bluetooth issues:

CIFS shares not working, created new user accounts

I have a solaris 11.1 x86 system running, where after recreating user accounts, so that they have a home dir, they lost smb/cifs access.
I ran the following cmds:
userdel <username>
useradd -m <username>
passwd <username>
CIFS access was setup and worked before this change, using the solaris cifs server.
The setup was done following the guide geving on paulies world blog.
The error seen on the windows 7 client is: "The network path cannot be found"
I have added the line "*.debug /var/adm/messages" to the '/etc/syslog.conf' file.
This gives serveral errors of the format "date&time hostname smbsrv: [id xxxxxx kern.notice] NOTICE: [hostname\guest]: <sharename> bad path: /<zpool name>/<zfs name>
Any advice on how to restore smb access:)

sorry, but i followed these instructions and the icon has reappeared, but now i get a message that says preferences error, could not load accounts after having run the combo updater
NB. my iBook originally came with panther, not tiger, does this make a difference?

Keyboard n mouse not working on setting user account of win7

hi
i have problem
when i wnat install win7 on my macbook air 13"2014" after working with bootcamp and boot windows when installation finished my mouse , keyboard not working to setup an account

You do not have the correct BC drivers installed. You need a USB2 flash disk. Download drivers appropriate to your Mac from System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.
If your hardware says BCA in the table, use BC Assistant, check Download Software option only, and build the drivers USB.

Flash Player not working on other user accounts, only main.

I have this problem everytime Flash updates and have only been able to fix it twice. On a Windows XP SP 2 I have 3 accounts. The main administator, an administator, and a guest account. Flash Player works for the main admin but not for the guest or other administrator. I cant watch videos anywhere on the other two accounts , like youtube or embeded or anything that requires flash and when I try to install it, it says its installed, which it is. I found this problem a while back and favorited it but I lost it unfortunatly and cannot find it again.
I believe all I had to do last time was go into a file and replace a line of code with another and it worked, but since the update it hasnt.
Please and Thank you.

You mention "certain websites" where Flash will not load. Are there pages that do display flash content on these accounts?
You might want to walk through these two FAQ's to see if they help:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer 9
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9

FF will not start up. FF does not work on other user accounts on this machine either, but works ok on another pc on our home network. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Computer is an HP Envy 17 laptop. Firefox does not appear on Task Manager list of processes or applications. System restore did not fix problem. Google Chrome works ok. Internet Explorer works ok until I try to download Firefox. Then it too crashes. This pc has been running Firefox fine since I purchased it 10 months ago. I upgraded FF3 to 4 then to 5 with no problems. Suddenly yesterday it stopped working. There is no error message and evidently FF does not launch because there is no listing of Firefox in Task Manager processes or applications. I tried uninstalling Firefox, then tried to download it usingInternet Explorer, but when I click on the download button at the Mozilla site, Internet Explorer crashes. I did a system restore to 8/16/11 when Firefox was still working. This restored the program but it still does not run. Google Chrome seems to run fine. My internet access is via wifi through an Actiontec router and Verizon Fios. I am running Symantec Endpoint virus protection and do not have any Norton or Skype programs listed in Control Panel. My pc is set for automatic updates from Microsoft and from HP. They both say my software is up to date. Is there a fix for this problem or is it a sinister plot by Microsoft to force us to use Internet Explorer?

Glad to hear it

I have an iMac with OS Lion. The Smartart feature for Office for Mac will not work when I am logged on to my personal user account. It works with other user accounts on the same computer, and it works after "safe start". How can I fix the problem?

Safari (7.0.1) is non-responsive (spinning pinwheel) upon start up. It will work in temp user account but not in my main user acct. I tried reinstall via comman-r prompt on start up but the problem persists. Any suggestion for reinstall or repair?

Safari is non-responsive after intitial start up. Before it can load the homepage (google), it will hang and give a perpetual pinwheel until I force quit the program. Safari works in temporary user account but not in my primary user account. I have reinstalled osx via the command-r upon start up and the problem still persists. Any suggestions on how to reinstall or repair safari?

Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
Thanks again for your suggestion.
