Perhaps the GPO prevent you from logging locally with user account that is NOT member of domain users. You should change GPO and either wait for applying it of force the update. Remember that some GPO may need restart.

I only have one iTunes account. The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer. How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

copy the songs that you downloaded as admin and put it somewhere you can access it from you're preferred account (usb stick / cd / shared folder / external hard drive) log into with you preferred user account and drag and drop the files on top of the itunes icon and they will be imported.
if you have a second computer you could use home sharing to move the music from admin itunes to the second computer and from the second computer to the preferred itununes
ps you can only connect 5 computers to you're itunes account so don't forget to de-autorise when you no-longer wand it.

Safari not working on my computer user account, works fine for other users.

Safari hangs up and barely opens a page, or the beach ball just spins and then Safari dies. This is only happening on my user account, and on the other user accounts Safari is working fine. I have tried most recommendations, including resetting Safari, inserting DNS 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, and turning off plug-ins.
Thanks for any help on this.
I am using Safari v.4.0.4

Just wanted to add that I am also have the exact same issue. I have not added anything new to my computer. I have not downloaded anything off of the internet, installed any new programs, or changed any preferences. I am running 10.6.2 and Safari 4.0.4
This is extremely frustrating. It makes absolutely no sense.

Anyway to use the 24" iMacs screen for other computer?

Anyway to use the 24" iMacs screen for other computer?
I´d like to hook up another computer to the 24" iMac. I know there´s no hardware way since it´s integrated but maybe by using some magic box over usb or something and a bit of software?
I´m looking to use it under Windows running Bootcamp.

Synching apps with 2 user accounts, 3 devices and one computer only

I have a question that I can't find a clear answer.
I previous had one iPod touch and one iPad that I synched with my iTunes library. No problem. But now the wife has finally purchased a verizon iPhone and I want to be able to use my vast app collection for her phone.
Scenario is we each have separate user accounts (so we can maintain our own calendars and contacts, ect.). We each have our own ITunes accounts and our own iTunes libraries by default. She will not be purchasing much on her account though.
How do I, without creating a can of worms, create one library to sync to so I can put apps and music on her phone without erasing any of her separate information. I have read a lot on the subject and there does not seem to be a clear answer anywhere. Yes, I have read ht1495 but that does not seem to be exactly on point
Basically, I have 3 devices, 2 user accounts and 2 iTunes accounts but one computer only. I want to be able to have all iTunes stuff available on both user accounts and be able to have both people be able to read and write to the same library. I am sure there are plenty of people running into this issue with more and more people getting iPhones with verizon. It seems that it is easier to do with multiple computers than one computer.
So, I am looking for help or advice on the easiest way to accomplish this task.

In a way, each iTunes libary is considered to be a different account. Your daughter's iTunes account doesn't have access to your wife's data which has all the verification data.
One option would not only to place the library in a Shared area, but also the verification data. I poked around and am not sure where it's stored. It's a good discussion to have with an Apple store Genius if you have one nearby.

Washed Out Color on One User Account But Not The Other

Heyo,
I'm on my second Macbook Pro. Apple had to replace the first one. But that's behind us.
Anyway, I have a bit of a predicament. I've noticed that the colors on my main user account are washed out and dull. I created a new user account to see if the problem was a hardware or software issue.
The thing is, the account with washed out colors has Adobe Photoshop, and the rest of the Design Premium CS3 suite - as well as Final Cut Studio 2 - but these are not on the other.
So, I'm guessing that this issue is connected with CS3 and FCS 2.
This issue appears regardless of what color profile I use. But I normally use the Adobe RGB profile - which is what I used to test the other account.
Any ideas what I could do to get my color back? Is there a setting I can change for this?
Thanks for any help,
Michael

I'd try to isolate a corrupted user preference file.
Apparently, Diskwarrior now claims to fix those. Or you can just look through the preferences folder in your user folder and start pulling some of those out to the disktop, log out and then log back in and see if that does anything.
When something is affecting one account but no others, I think the clear majority of the time it is a user preference file that is responsible.

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.

Can't get a downloaded menu bar to show up in a Window's user account instance of Firefox other than the administrator account

In Windowx XP, one can create seperate user accounts or "profiles" so that different people can use a computer and have their files and profiles kept seperate or secured from others. The main account is the Administrator account.
My problem is I have non-Firefox toolbars that I have downloaded and installed on the Administrators account Firefox toolbar, but I can not get these to show up in any of the seperate user accounts that I have created.
Is there a way to make these show up? If so, what do I need to do?
Thank you,
Blaine Thompson

Toolbar extensions are installed to the user account / Profile, they're not installed globally. You need to install them separately to each user account / Profile.
If you know your way around in the Windows Explorer file system, you can drop an extension into the program files Firefox\extensions\ folder and the extension will be installed globally - as each Profile is launched. Right-click the installation button for extensions an use Save Link As... to save the extension to local disk.

Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

Hello everybody
My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
Thank you in advance

I would strongly recommend you not do this. You will regret it.
I have played with this issue a lot. You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there. You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again. This really is not what you want to do.
Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music. You don't want to go though the other process.
Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id. if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app. You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time. They are all linked together.

IPhoto '11 works on one user account but not the other

I upgraded to iPhoto '11 from iPhoto '08 a couple of weeks ago using the MacApp store. After doing so, I opened the application on my main user account, received a message that the library had to be updated, the application did so, and it has been working wonderfully since. The problem I'm having is with my wife's user account. I did not open the application and upgrade the library immediately on this account. Before I could do so, my wife hooked up her iPhone to sync, which automatically opened iPhoto. I get the gray screen with the large spinning wheel in the center, and her library never appears. I have tried two strategies to fix this, and so far, have had no luck. The first was to hold option while launching the application, and selecting her library. I get the exact same result doing this. My next strategy was to completely delete iPhoto from my system, then re-download and reinstall it, and try to open the library once again. Unfortunately, this did not work. I thought the next step should be to delete iPhoto '11, reinstall iPhoto '08, open my wife's library using iPhoto '08, then reinstall '11 and upgrade her library. Since iLife came preinstalled on my mac when I purchased it years ago, I'm not certain how to reinstall iPhoto '08. Does anyone know how to do this, or have another suggestion for solving this problem? Thank you in advance for your help!

In your wife's account:
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Mail server working sending emails between user accounts but not to other (outside) email accounts?

Hi!
I am new to Mac OS X Server Mail and I am trying to set up. I have successfully started the mail services and created 2 user accounts. Those accounts can email each other back and forth, no problem; however, they cannot send/receive to other email addresses. Anyone know why this would happen?
I'm learning OS X Server and appreciate any help!

Hi,
setting up mail can is quite complicated.
Suggest you watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAODxn7LF6k&list=PL01BB6048468891F7&feature=share &index=16
this should give you some ideas where to look.
Have in mind that you need to do DNS set-ups, need to have a static IP address ( or use a DynDNS service ),very likely also add MX records etc. etc.

User account cannot connect to Youtube or Netflix...

Hey gang,
I upgraded my late 2008 Unibody Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion the other day and have had no problems. My son has a user account on the machine and all seemed to work fine until he tried to load YouTube in both Chrome and Safari. He cannot connect to the site. I can in my Admin Account. We also tried Netflix on his account and we get an error in both Chrome and Safari saying it cannot play DRM content. Wha? I updated Flash on his accout and several other websites work. He is also unable to connect to the app store. I removed all restrictions from his account and restarted. Still no dice.
Seems like it must be a simple fix, but for the life of me I cannot figure it out.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!

My wife's user account had the same problem with Netflix last night. It is working this morning and this is what I did.
"Hmmm, I wonder if Netflix gives me the same DRM issue in my account." Everything usually works in my account and that is the account I installed Mountain Lion from.
"Hey, it works. Okay, this is probably not the same problem Lion had with DRM in Safari and needed to be patched quickly by Apple. Let's see if I can get more information from Safari on my wife's account."
Log into wife's account and launch the same show on Netflix and it now loads and plays. Don't ask how or why, but it works. Perhaps doing the same from your account will also have a beneficial result.

Using different credetial to connect to remote computer to get Cert information

I am using following function to get cert details from remote computers. How do I change it to accept credentials to connect to remote computer?
PS : Remote computers are windows 2003 computers without PowerShell installed on it.
function Get-Cert( $computer=$env:computername ){ $ro=[System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]"ReadOnly" $lm=[System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.StoreLocation]"LocalMachine" $store=new-object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store("\\$computer\my",$lm) $store.Open($ro) $store.Certificates}Get-Cert ServerA
-Edatha-

Certainly. Here's a quick example that uses the PowerShell registry provider as a quick an easy way to enumerate the subkeys of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\MY\Certificates\ , and to read the Blob value as a byte array. In your
case, you'd probably want to look into using something like WMI's StdRegProv class to accomplish the same thing.
Once you have the byte array, just pass it to the constructor of X509Certificate2. (Note the unary comma in that constructor call; we're binding an object to the -ArgumentList parameter of New-Object, and when you're calling constructors that take
a single array argument, you need the comma.)
Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\MY\Certificates |
ForEach-Object {
$byteArray = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $_.PSPath -Name Blob).Blob
$certificate = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2(,$byteArray)
$certificate

BASH script to determine most recent/used user account

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to patch a script I have to copy user data and set permissions accordingly. I'd like to have the script sense the most-logged-into user account and set permissions on the corresponding home folder, is there a way to do this in Tiger?
My next question is that these computers are being upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. Is there a way in Leopard to sense all existing user accounts (again in BASH), and set permissions on their corresponding home folders? That might be the best solution, and the easiest to implement.
TIA!

Is there any way to create a bookmark in safari that automatically creates itself for every user/account that logs into the computer?

I am currently trying to add in a bookmark to Safari that will be automatically created on every account on the Mac.
Is that possible? Or is the only way to do such a thing, to have to add it to each and every Safari on each individual account?
