Try resetting camera error-New user account works

I went to capture using a Sony DSR-11 in Premiere and got this error. I have recently (over three months ago) have only been using a JVC HD-100 camera in Premiere Pro to capture with no problems. After many tries, I researched Adobe and went through there correction method with multiple steps for correction. In the end, when I created a new user in Windows and logged into the new user, Premiere Pro sees the deck with no problem. I then went by there steps and switched back to my log-in and it fails giving me the same error.
So this has to be a DV codec, registry type of issue. I tried using Graphedit as mentioned in one of the steps, to find the problem dll but can't locate it. I also did the delete the 1394 device in one of the suggested steps and Windows re-installed the 1394 driver but it did not fix the problem. Any ideas on what/where to look? I would really hate to switch back and forth between user accounts just to capture and I would hate even more to migrate to the new user account. Thanks in advance, Jose Burgos

Windows XP Pro SP3.
It works when I create a new user so it's not the deck. I somehow have activated another DV capture dll when I installed another software, from what I read from the Adobe help section. Adobe suggest creating a new user and testing. If that works, which it does, then try back in the original and if that does not work, migrate to the new user. I am trying very hard not to migrate.

but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

How do I add new user account when clicking on plus sign doesnt work?

In my iMac g4 with OS 10.3.9 I follow instructions but when I get to clicking on the plus sign to add a new account, nothing happens so I am unable to add a new account. I unlock the lock but it makes no difference. There is only one account which is my admin account. How do I proceed to get a new user account working?

Since I have upgraded my computer from Panther 10.3.9
to Tiger 10.4.(11) the preference panels may be a little
different; but they do much the same things.
Could be the system needs some routine maintenance
for the thing to work correctly; ie: repair disk permissions
and/or use OnyX (from titanium software/Panther version)
and have it run one time through with all checkbox items
checked under Automation; and have it restart after these
are all done. If there is a permissions or other system issue
behind your inability to set up a second user account, this
would be a blanket maintenance procedure that should do
no harm. (But if you try things beyond the basics, it may.)
At times, I start the computer up in SafeBoot (shift key
held down at startup) and then run "repair disk permissions"
then restart the computer normally. Usually before and or
after software updates and installations of applications.
This, that, and the other thing. It may need a little help.
You could (also) try booting the computer up from the Panther
OSX 10.3.x install disk and run "repair disk" as well as
"repair disk permissions" from Disk Utility in the menu
beneath Installer, as seen in Finder once the boot disc
is running the computer. Be sure to exit the Disk Utility
and also the Installer; and choose to restart from the
Mac's own installed system by choosing Startup Disk.
edit to add: if you clicked in that system preference box
(plus or minus) and it didn't work, and you also unlocked
the panel using your admin password; then clicked again
and chose Options or the plus/minus buttons you should
have gotten in. If you have never ran any of the routines
such as OnyX or other similar utility, this may be overdue
and also takes time. A restart after this may take a wait.
Hopefully this will help some.

Cant create new user account

I have migrated my accounts from my old G5 to new Mac Pro and they all work just fine. However when I try to create a new user account for my youngest daughter whilst everything appears to be fine on creation when i try to switch between my admin acount and her account with the correct password (less than 8 characters) all I get is the starscape with no icons, no dock, no mouse! The only way out I can find is to completely reboot the mac from the power button on the front (power down and power up again).
I have tried deleting and recreating different accounts all with the same result. The original 3 accounts that migrated all work OK.

Well repairing permissions made no difference. But the problem seemed to lay with parental controls, when i made some changes to that in the new acc it worked but will only work with with basic desktop

Brand new user account, same old name

I've been having some quirky behavior with the main account on my Powerbook. Most recently I purchased and installed Speed Download, only to find that it unexpectedly quits after just a few minutes of an FTP download. I can run it in a new account without incident. Reinstalling does not solve this problem.
But this is just the most recent issue, there is a lot of other strange behavior that I'd like to try solving with a new user account before I go ahead with a re-install of the OS. But I don't want trouble with permissions, etc. so my plan is this:
1) Backup old user account (let's call it ABC).
2) Create new admin account called XYZ.
3) Log into XYZ and delete ABC account
4) Rename XYZ back to ABC
5) Rebuild ABC from the backup, being careful to only import Library items I really need (like the Mail.app data) and let the rest be created from scratch.
The idea is that the user name will be the same, so there will be no permission issues. The contents of the Users/ABC/Library directory will be mostly new and uncluttered except for those items that I hand-pick from the backup.
Please only comment on this migration plan, I don't need help with Speed Download. This particular issue is only the straw that broke the camel's back, there is a lot of other quirky behavior that I am eager to get sorted out as well.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Ian,
I'm not sure if this will work.
The Mac OS (like all unix OS) is saving a user ID which is a number stored in the system, changing the name of the user will not help because your ID will be different than the old ID.
One thing I can think about is if you have another Mac you can use the migration assistant to move your data to it and back after deleting the old account.
One other option will be to delete your account without deletion of the files (files are stored under deleted users directory), create a new one and copy all needed data to the new account.
I hope this helps you,
Ziv

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up

Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur? If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11? This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.

New user account...can't log in...!!! set password doesn't work

ok. i post this again because i have yet to get an answer after many months.
Created new user account. I am the administrator. When changing to the new account i am prompted for password. Password is rejected EVERY TIME. how do i enable my computer to read the new account?
System 10.4.4
Desperately yours,
kent

I am getting the same problem!!!
I'm on a G5 iMac 2nd Gen., and if I make a new user account, then log out of the admin account and try to log into the just created user... the password does not work!! I am 1,000,000% positive the password I am entering is correct.
I would delete the just created user, then make another new one with some of the information changed, maybe try making the user an admin (which i shouldn't have to do obviously) and it still will not work!! Looks like I just have to reinstall OS X. There is no other way around it. I've even tried resetting the password through the admin user account in the Users preference pane, and through the reset password utility on the install disk.

Software Version 3.0 Fails-Reset Fails-Create a New User Account?

Last night I purchased the new 3.0 software. After attempting to install my pc froze up. After about 20 minutes I no choice but to do a hard reset. I then got a message that I had to do a restore back to the factory setting-when attempting to do so-if failed as well.
I called Support the first time who advised me that there was nothing I could and it was out of warranty (incorrect-I have a 2 year extended purchase) and to bring it to a store. Fortunately-I have one close by. I zipped over to the store only to be told there was no tech support due to the new iphone launch. Talk about great service. They finally got me someone who took it and apparatenly said he had restore it. He came out from the back and told me to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
I came home and the same process happened all over again.
I had to call back support and was fortunate to get a very helpful, patient and great guy who told me I had to create a new user account 9i use Vista). Upon doing so i was able to get my touch restored.
Why would I have to do this procedure? It took over 4 hours?

Does anyone know what may have caused this? HELP!

QT Macworld keynote works with new user account

Hi,
This is a really annoying problem, I can only watch yesterdays Macworld keynote if I setup a new user account and view using that user.
When I login using my own user account the QT stream just times out. I have checked all my network and QT settings and they are exactly the same for both users. I have also tried reinstalling and the problem remains.
If anyone has any idea of what could be causing this to happen I would be very greatful.
Stephen

This worked for me!
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1543453#1543453
The fact that it works for one user and not another, I suggest looking at your locations tab in the Network control panel, and simplifying your life if you have multiple locations, and then make sure that the proxy settings (particularly the proxy.pac setting) is either reachable when you use Quicktime or not set at all. I removed it, problem solved.
Here's the image of an empty proxy.pac setting. In the network control panel, you have to scroll down to see it, so you may have missed it when you did your comparisons:

If you can't 'Create new user account' - try this!

Over the last few days I've wasted many hours trying unsuccessfully to create a new user account so I can post to Apple Discussions. Kept going round an endless loop, back to the 'Create New User Account' form. Tried every possible solution I found through internet searches, to no avail.
The answer, for me, turned out to be simply choosing a different alias - one that nobody else was using, presumably.
Why, oh why, isn't there an error message that tells you this? It would have saved me so much time and frustration - and many other people too, I'm sure.

Welcome, finally, to Discussions - you are not the first to complain about this, if you like, you can go to app.com/feedback and register your complain there as well.

How do I create a new user account and migrate my data to it?

I have problem with Adobe Bridge crashing when I exit Camera Raw. I was advised by my local apple service store to create a new user account and test Bridge using the new account. It works fine. So what do I do now? I don't know what in my account is causing the conflict but assume that the solution might be e newly setup user.

Checking the behaviour in another user account is a TEST, not a solution! You don't need to move everything over. Otherwise, every time you get a user account problem, you'll keep moving to a new user account again and again.
If the problem does not occur in a new user account, then the cause is something IN your user account. This is usually a Preference file. Adobe Bridge seems to crash a lot, and it can usually be fixed by deleting the Bridge folder in <user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
You can also try deleting the Bridge preference file, which will be in <user>/Library/Preferences, and called com.adobe.bridge5.plist (or similar).
If that doesn't work, you can test removing a whole bunch of the various Adobe files in those folders. You can always put them back if they don't change anything. And you've got a backup, haven't you? ;-)

ITunes does not launch with new User Account (Vista)

One of my limited user accounts on Windows Vista because corrupt, so I created a new limited User Account and copied ALL of the files from the old to new.
Now, when I try to launch itunes on the new user account, it will not open at all. Itunes works on my administrative account, with no problem.
Can someone tell me the most pain-free way to resolve this issue. And, whatever solution, will I be at risk of losing my itunes libraries?
Thank you in advance.

Hiya. Delayed again. Browsers being cranky. (I blame the aftershocks.)
It's actually plausible that it was installed in there (by doing a run as administrator on the installer itunes64setup.exe, perhaps). Because that suggests a possible cause for these continual permissions-related problems.
A lot of what you're seeing is consistent with damaged ACLs (access control lists) on files, folders and registry keys. Although it's a lot rarer than it used to be, one of the ways you could get borked ACLs was if a program (like iTunes or QuickTime) was installed in one user account, and then the user account it had been installed in was deleted (or otherwise rendered unusable).
We don't know which particular permissions are stuffed up here. But there's a shotgun approach to fixing them which used to work okay, although it's a bit fiddlier to do on a 64-bit system than a 32-bit system.
I'd strongly recommend setting up a system restore point prior to doing this, so you can revert if things turn to custard.
The basic technique you follow is from the following blog entry *with one important modification.*
[Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions|http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-e rrors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx]
The modification is that when you're editing the file to replace YOURUSERNAME with the name of the account, edit the first line so that %ProgramFiles% instead says %ProgramFiles(x86)% and after the line that reads:
*subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
... add another line saying:
*subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles(x86)%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
(The first is to make sure the commands see the subinacl, because it installs in \Program Files (x86)\ on 64-bit systems, and the second alteration is to make sure that the permissions for the 32-bit program files are fixed too.
After doing that (it'll take a while to run), can itunes launch normally in the new account?

Old user account not accessible - Had to create new user account

Why was I forced to create a new user account in order to access Apple discussions? The last time I had posted to Apple discussions was 11/06. From the emails notifying me of replies to my post, I can still go to the link where my question and the replies are. Last week I wanted to post another question. Instead I encountered a circular problem. Every time I tried to log in to discussions with my Apple ID and password (the same as my .Mac name and password, which were working fine for accessing .Mac), I was told that there was an error in my password. When I tried again, I was repeatedly re-directed to a "create new user account" web page that listed my .Mac email address as my Apple ID, as it should have. I tried to re-create my old user account with my own [real] name (as before) and was told that name was in use! Of course, it was me! (I had always used by real first name and surname as my name on Apple discussions.) So finally, very frustrated, I created a new name, a nickname, for discussions, and it worked. Now, all my previous posts are gone. It's as if I didn't exist in the Apple world until today, 9/16/07, but I originally had established my user account in 2004. I tried asking about this in a phone call to Apple support, but I was re-directed to the .Mac web site. Then I posted a question at .Mac feedback to no avail. I had a feeling that as soon as I "obeyed" and created a new user account that wouldn't be recognized as myself, my past posts would be sent into oblivion. I don't like losing all my previous posts that were attached to my user account. I have found this problem very frustrating and would really like an explanation.

Hi decemberbaby,
Try this procedure.
Delete all the Apple Cookies in your browser, and empty the Cache.
Go here Discussions Sign In, and try logging in with your original Apple ID again.
If that still doesn't work, delete the Cookies again, and go to My Info, and log in with the original Apple ID.
If you get the error message "Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly.", click on "Did you forget your password? Click here for assistance".
On the page that opens, you can also click on "Forget your Apple ID

After creating a new user account, how do I move my files into the new user?

I have an issue where my 'Desktop/Screensaver' prefs seem to be corrupt somehow. When I click on that icon in System Preferences, it stalls and I get the spinning ball, thus resulting in a force quit. After reading a Mac Format magazine where someone wrote in with a similar issue, they said to trash various prefs (did that and made no difference) and if that didn't work, try creating a New User account (therefore creating brand new system prefs) and move your stuff over.
Well, I've created the New User account, but I can't figure out how to move/copy my stuff into the user folders. After copying and attempting to move stuff in, I see folders with a red circle with a white line through it (like a 'no entry' sign).
Any clue as to how this can be done? All I'm trying to do is to reinstate the system prefs so they are not corrupt anymore on my log-in.

No. Not the main Library folder. Make absolutely sure you are in the Home Library folder and not the main Library folder.
Your Home Library folder is hidden in Lion. To get to it, in the Finder menu, select GO and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. The Finder window will open in your Home Library. This is where your user prefs are stored.
Once there, you will see the Preferences folder. Open it up, select all items within it and move them to the trash. You will need to restart in order for the new Finder preferences to be recreated.
Once you restart, then you will be back to the default preferences to the system and all applications. And yes, it will affect all settings including your Dock, just as logging into a new user. You will have to reset everything there also.
If you wish to do a selective method, instead of deleting all preferences, try deleting the one associated with your problem. Screen saver problems should be affected by the system preferences, so try deleting this:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist.lockfile
Note that when you delete system file preferences, a restart will be required. For applications, just quit the application before trashing preference files.
