Two Users, Only One Can Control Sound

I recently created a new user account for myself to fix a problem with Mail. Now I am unable to control the OS's Sound options (e.g., change volume, mute, etc.) when in the new user: the Sound option panel appears under System Preferences, but the volume slider and mute button are grayed-out.
The only way for me to change the volume is to switch to my old user account, which I don't use for anything else. I guess I could delete the old user account, but I'd like to find a fix for the sound control issue first.
BTW - I made my new user area the Administrator and revoked Administrator privileges for the old user area, and the sound problem persists...

Software Update is not offering me any Airport updates on the G4 (or the Intel).
The recent Airport Update, "AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001", is of course only for Intel Macs.
They could only be "trying to use the same IP address" if they were not configured to use DHCP, but they are configured to use DHCP, and whichever connects does get an address in the 10.0.1.[2-200] range so I think that's not the problem.

Two Macs - only one can connect to Airport at a time

Starting today, after 10 days of successful operation, when I came home I couldn't connect to my home (new "square" Airport Extreme) network with my Core 2 MacBook Pro. My wife was happily connected on her PowerBook G4.
Puzzled, I tried a few obvious things:
Airport OFF, Airport ON ... no joy
Logout and back in ... no joy
Restart ... no joy
Then I turned my attention to the Base Station:
Restart ... nope
Change to "None" security ... nope
Change back to "WPA Personal" ... nope
Humbled, I stopped and had dinner. My wife's G4 went to sleep, my Intel went to sleep. Now it gets interersting! My Intel woke up first and immediately joined the network -- I'm happy till I hear my wife say SHE can't get connected.
To make a long story short, I have two laptops on my desk, and only one can connect at a time! This is BIZARRE. Turn off Airport on either one and its buddy gets a connection immediately, and vice versa. Sleep the connected one and the other connects.
I am out of ideas.
Errors on the G4:
Feb 28 20:09:45 localhost configd[35]: WirelessConfigure: 88001003
Errors on the MBPro:
various 88001006 errors as reported by others in this forum.
Both Machines at all the latest updates; the MBPro has the new Extreme software installed from the CD that came with the new hardware.
I would welcome suggestions ...

G4 Cube Mac OS X (10.4)

Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

Listview checkbox group item only one can be checked

I have a listview with checkbox , and grouped some checkbox, I need only can be checked for two checkboxes, but I use
private void Listview_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e)
this.Listview.Items[0].Checked = !this.Paramlst2.Items[1].Checked;
this.Listview.Items[1].Checked = !this.Paramlst2.Items[0].Checked;
but it is not worked.
can anybody suggest me how to modify the code to realize item0 and item1 only one can be checked.
thanks

Hi Sunny,
According to your title, do you mean you only one checkbox is required to check?
And the code, it seems not clear to me. What is Paramlst2 stand for？Which control did you use ?
Could you help provide more information? It would be better to help us to understand your issue.
Have a nice day!

How to turn two users into one?

Hey there!
As I selled my MBP last month I copied all its datas to my iMac via migration assistant and created a new user for it. So I have now two accounts with different photos, documents etc.
My problem now is how to turn these two users into one?
I want all my photos appear in Aperture of my first user, I want all my documents appear in "Documents" of the first user and so on..
Is it able? If yes, how could I realize it?
Thanks for your support!
René
PS: 2 Users on iMac -> 1 User on iMac.

Thanks for your help at first.
But you usually can't "merge" two "normal" user accounts successfully. If both accounts have data for the same application, it will be very difficult or impossible to merge them by copying files & folders.
I cannot merge them.. So there is the question how to copy all medias from Aperture to my other Aperture medias?
Can I export my whole medias and import in at the other users Aperture? And how? #
Edit: I dont want to have two different libraries at all.. I want them to be together in just one..

Two current input one can display while another cannot

Good evening everyone!
Our group is uing NI 9227 to get current from our circuit. But from the two indicators in front panel, as both of our two switches open, one can display current while another just shows 0.00....
But when I run circuit 2 independently in a new VI, it can display current normally...
Could anyone tell me why and how can I solve this problem??
Thanks so lot!!!

The VI you posted is quite messy and plenty of places for improvement but I am not convinced that this is the source of the problem. Why are you setting up your DAQ Assistance to be continuous sampling at 100 samples at 100Hz, but then you convert from the DDT to a single sample? If you really want a single sample then take a single sample. I'd also suggest not using the DAQ assistant because it can hide issues like this by using DDT. Still this should prevent you from seeing the right data.
It looks like you have current going into AI0 and AI3 of your device, are you sure this wiring is correct?
With a DMM can you confirm the correct readings going into the DAQ card?
Also you mention running a separate VI and having it work. I don't know how this is possible because one program will lock the current measuring device and not allow that resource to be used anywhere else. You should be generating errors. Which a simple error handler should show you. You should probably add that after the while loop stops.

Why only one channel of sound in sequences? Please someone try this quest

When I add a sequence to a sequence, I have only one channel of sound but, when I open that sequence I have 2 channels of sound.
Is it a sequence setting and if it is I see:
outputs 2
downmix 0
grouping: Stereo selected
Dual mono not selected.
I swith these around a bit but get no change.
My raw footage say "2 Mono" from my Sony DSR PD-150 at 16 bit, 48 khz.
I usuall use one channel for camera sound and 2nd channel for mic.

the number of audio channels that your nested sequence will contain is the same as the number of audio outputs you have selected for that sequence ...
for example, if you create a sequence with 10 tracks of audio, but have only set the sequence to have 2 audio outputs, then when you nest that sequence the nest will have only 2 tracks of audio ... change the audio outputs to 4, or 6, or 8, or 10 etc regardless of how many tracks you actually use, and the sequence, when nested, will have the same number of audio tracks as the sequence has audio outputs
... ok, so that explains the relationship between audio outputs and the number of tracks of audio that a nested sequence contains
so why are you getting only one channel of sound when you edit it in to another sequence? my guess is that you are only patching 1 channel ... load the source sequence into the viewer (drag and drop), now check in the patch bay area at the left of the timeline window to make sure that your a1 to A1 and a2 to A2 connections are not broken ... and edit it in.
cheers

Question - how do I combine two users into one?

I have migrated a lot of data to a MacBook Pro using Migration Assistant, in the process two users have been created on the Mac. How do I combine the two users into one?

You don't. Just log in with one, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/ as the path. and drag the folder there; you'll need to provide an administrator password at some point.

Two user profiles on my iMac but only one can connect to the internet

Hi,
I got the most recent upgrade for Lion and installed it. I have two user profiles on my iMac and now, only one of them can connect to the internet yet both appear to have gotten the full upgrades. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks!!

Does the Account that can not connect to the Internet have full Administative priveleges or is it a Standard Account. If Standard, check to make sure it is allowed to connect.

How can I sort photos from two users into one

I have two users on my Mac and I am trying to get all my photos onto my new External hard drive. I want one user, one photo library stored on my external hard drive. Help!

If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

I tried to set up two users on one computer, now I can't make iTunes match work for either.

Lots of people seem to be having multiples user problems on iTunes, but I can't find a solution to mine so please help.
I got a new iMac. Switched it on. Connected to iTunes Match - all fine and dandy.
After a couple of weeks I decided I should follow Apple's advice and set up a separate user account on the imac for my wife. I connected to iTunes match using her user name and down loaded a bunch of her favourite music.
Naive fool that I was, I didn't realise I had fallen into Apple's moronic multi-user trap. Only one user on one computer can use it???? Why???
I thought that it was me being stupid so I switched everything off - including iTunes Match. Now nothing works.
If I log on with my iTunes ID and try to switch on iTunes Match it asks me if I want to add this computer, and then gives me the "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID - you can't use it for 90 days" message.
If I use my wife's iTunes ID, it asks her if she would like to subscribe for £21.99 a year.
The exact same thing happens whether I sign into the computer itself with my account or hers.
This is awe inspringly annoying. Please tell me how to fix this.
thanks.

At this time there is no "solution." You'll simply have to wait the 90 days to re-enable iTunes Match.
For now here is my suggestion. In your User Account, in OS X, sign out of whatever iTunes Store account you are signed in with. Then sign in with your store account and leave it at that. Now sign out of your OS X User Account, sign into your wife's OS X User Account and sign into the iTunes Store with her Apple ID (if necessary sign out of the account first).
Now, you can go back to your OS X User Account and attempt to enable iTunes Match. You will probably get the "wait 90 days" message. If so leave it, mark your calendar, and wait for the 90 days to expire. You can try contacting iTunes Store support at <https://expresslane.apple.com> if you wish, but I really do not know how useful that will be.
Incidentally, you get the message to pay for the service when trying to enable it on your wife's Apple ID because the service has not been purchased using that Apple ID. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out of and is associated with one, and only one, Apple ID and a regional store.

Can I back up two users on one partition on Passport?

I just bought a 1TB WD Passport external hard drive for travel and in case my present 250 GB Passport fails. I'm in the process of formatting it for Mac.
I set it to format with only one partition even though we're a 2-Macbook household, and it's now too late to change that (Passport says I can't repartition it once the deed is done). My question: Can I put the entire contents of both computers on a single-volume external hard drive?
I've never used Passport on the other Macbook, but both are OS 10.6.8, so I assume it would be no problem to set up Time Machine on that one as well. However, since I've never actually seen what a hard drive with more than one partition looks like, I don't know if it's a good idea or not. I'm sure everyone involved in manufacturing these things is smart enough to figure out a way to keep the data from the two different hard drives from getting scrambled together on the Passport, but I don't know what else could go wrong. For instance, if everything is on one partition, would that mean the Passport somehow couldn't be used as a startup disk for one or the other (or both)?
Thanks for any suggestions. No rush--since the formatting itself takes 9 hours and Time Machine then takes at least another couple of hours, it looks like I have plenty of time!

Connect two users under one user

Dear Sir,
I’m using oracle database 10.2g, with data (~40G) since 2005 for retail, account, time attendance.... systems,
1-i don't want to lose any of those data
2- I’m not going to change our application we just finish the whole implementation,
So I’m planning to split the database to two users one (historical data) and the other (Current data),
But i still want the finance, and credit control department to run the reports as it is.
So can i create a new user (middle_layer) with views to read the data from the two users (historical Data) and (Current Data)
And update, insert and delete on the data of (current data) user only?
For example:
SQL> connect middle_layer;
SQL> create view sales_order_header as
Select * from current_data.sales_order_header
Union all
Select * from historical_data.sales_order_header
SQL> select * from sales_order_header;
SQL> insert into sales_order_header values (...);
Thanks in advanced.
Regards,

Waiting any Idea,
CREATE USER data_history IDENTIFIED BY test;
CREATE USER data_current IDENTIFIED BY test;
CREATE USER middle_layer IDENTIFIED BY test;
CREATE TABLE data_history.sales_order_head_h;
CREATE TABLE data_current.sales_order_head;
CREATE ROLE historical_data_reader;
CREATE ROLE historical_data_loader;
CREATE VIEW data_history.sales_order_head AS
SELECT * FROM data_current.sales_order_head
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM data_history.sales_order_head_h;
GRANT SELECT ON data_history.sales_order_head
TO historical_data_reader;
GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON data_current.sales_order_head
TO historical_data_loader;
GRANT historical_data_reader TO middle_layer;
GRANT historical_data_loader TO middle_layer;
connect to middle_layer;
sql> select * from sales_order_head;
not working
sql> insert into sales_order_head;
not working too.
hope you can help.
regards,

Itunes Match: Two users on one computer.

My wife and I share one computer. We switch between users. I set up my itunes match under my user name, then I swtiched to her user and
tried to set up ITM. no go I get this message
Any advice?
Cheers

You can only associate each computer (not account on the computer) to one apple id. This is a restriction of match and automatic downloads from iTunes. See the iTunes terms and conditions and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
I haven't tested it yet but I think if you have two user accounts on a machine and each has a different apple id, one of the accounts will have to login to match with the Apple ID that was authorized on the machine. I think if they do that, the user's iTunes library will be matched and combined with the library of the other user''s appleid only up in the cloud. You may or may not want that behavior. Also, I think if the user switches back to their AppleID, as long as they kept copies of their music locally that music though also in the cloud would still be accessible since it is on the disk. But anything showing with the cloud download icon (ie: stored only in the cloud) would disappear from the library until they login to match again since that music is not on the disk. The relogin to match will go thru steps 1..3 but much faster on each relogin and all music in match would show up again. I think the user can go purchase music on their id, login to match on the match id, and iTunes will auto match those purchases since they are added to the physical library.
Note, this is speculation on my part based on the fact that I was able to logout of my match ID and login to another ID to updated some aps from the app store. What happened was all my cloud music disappeared, local music stayed that was also present on the disk ws still there. I downloaded some apps, logged out, and logged back in with my iTunes match apple id and everything came back.
I would caution not to do this on an iOS device. On there, if the music is not in the cloud library when logging in and out of match across id's, it may be deleted. Also, the relogin on the iOS device, for me at least with 13,000+ songs, takes 20 minutes on an iPhone 4S.

Using two users on one computer

Hi,
I have had only one user on my powerbook since I bought it 4-5 years ago. I recently added a second user to my computer as a way to solve a problem I had with safari taking ages to load. It solved my safari problems but I have a few questions.
When I first logged into the second account, I noticed that things like my iTunes library was not there. I sorted that out just fine, but I noticed that the files in my movies and documents folders were also not there (about 60GB and 5GB for 65GB total). When I logged back into my old user account all the files were present. I copied the 65GB of data to my external drive, and logged into the second new user account.
One problem - when I look at the finder of both user accounts it shows I have 10GB space left on my internal drive. With all the files missing from my movies and documents folders, shouldn't I have 75GB free? Right now, I have copied my documents back from my external drive to the internal drive for the second new user, but I have no space for the movies files.
Now that I have the second user account setup and my safari is working fine, I would like to use only the new second account exclusively from now on - I just need a way to get the movies sorted out.
Thanks for any assistance.
Tim

Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.
