User account errors and some work-arounds

1. Migrate multiple users, but second on no set up correctly
I had this when I tried to migrate one user then a second as a subsequent migration. Home directory was created but no user was created in Sys Prefs. Sadly, the user name was created in the system somewhere and I could not re-use.
Workaround. Migrate all users together.
2. Library being duplicated for every user.
My library file is 25Gb, and this is being duplicated for every user. I thought this was a shared resource under Tiger ....? My disk space is taking a hammering.
Workaround: Unknown
3. Delete a user and try to re-add
If you delete a user, and all files etc., you would expect to be able to re-add. Nope. The name remains persistent in some system file(s) somewhere, even after a re-boot.
Workaround: Fresh install. Ugh!
4. Drag-and-drop not working in Finder/Desktop
OK, got drag and drop working on MBP with 10.5.1 and G5 Quad under 10.5.1.
It appears that the second and on users when performing a migrate are not set up properly.
If drag-and-drop isn't working, go into Sys Prefs, Accounts, and create a Group. Add the non-functioning account to the group (I did both).
I ran Repair Permissions (lots of errors that SUID would not fix, to do with frameworks and identities, so I left alone. Many other permissions errors fixed).
Logged out .... btw, intermittent bug where you cannot log out a second account that's running as it doesn't take the name or password. You have to switch user and log it out that way.
Log back to the user with the drag and drop issue. Shutdown and then start back up.
When you log back in, drag and drop should work..... and keep on working whether you switch user etc.
Also, if you now remove the Group from Sys Prefs./Accounts, drag and drop will still continue to work. (I haven't tried a restart to see whether it is persistent though.)
If anyone has better workarounds or - preferably - fixes, please let me know.
Thank you.

Mary,
You do not tell us the method of authentication you have implemented.
If you are having NTIntegrated authentication, you should check if the eliteadm workflow user record contains her nt logon credentials?
You can flag that user as deleted, but before you do, make sure it does not contain any id that you need to use later (such as email or nt account details, if either is used for user identification purposes.)
RE stalling workitem - when you view the details of the stalled record in the 'Stalled workitems' list, you should be able to also read an error message giving you a clue of what went wrong. Either double click on the item to see details in dialog or expand all columns in the console to read details.
Good luck,
Sanna

Changed user account name and moved to OSX Yosemite. Apps still work, but cannot download new apps or updates.

I recently moved to a new MacBook Air with a physically larger hard drive. I had a coworker move over all of my software and data, and everything seems to be playing nicely. All of the current apps I have in place like Photoshop and Illustrator are working just fine.
Unfortunately when I try to download other apps in Creative Cloud it just shows Download Error. I tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, which did nothing.
I should note that when I moved to the larger machine I changed user account names. Whenever I try to use FileSync, it says it is looking for a folder in the old user account folder. This occurs even after trying to change where that folder is in the Preferences.
Additionally I have updated from Mavericks to Yosemite. I do not know what effect that had.
Any insight how to restore my ability to get downloads and updates? Or perhaps how to fix my FileSync?

I think I have it resolved by uninstalling everything and running the cleaner per these instructions: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Redwood User Account error on Job

Hi All,
We currently had all our BWP jobs fail with the following error:
JCS-00503: OS account SYSJCS does not exist or is disabled on BRSAPPRDBWPV2
JCS-00315: job must run under OS equivalent of Oracle account SYSJCS
We run our oracle database on a Windows 2003 environment and also our Redwood/SAP servers are on a Windows 2003 server.
The job itself users "USER" account.
The only way we could get the jobs to start was by restarting the BWP Redwood services, and this worked fine.
Also want to state the we had the following issue at the sametime which was flagged up to us in "messages":
resubmit.update_job:
ORA-04061: existing state of package body "SYSJCS.CHAIN" has been invalidated
ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped package body "SYSJCS.CHAIN"
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "SYSJCS.CHAIN"
All our BWP process chains are executed via the RUN BW CHAIN script, which is copied and renamed for the process chain.
We have tried to replicate the error in our dev environment but it worked fine. RFC points nothing at all.. Any help would be much appreciated. OSS note has been raised...
Thank You
Jazz

Hi Jazz,
The SYSJCS.CHAIN package is not used for BI Process Chains, only for CPS Chains. So the invalidation must have come from another source.
When this error occurs, as long as there are sessions started before the package has been re-validated (state reinitialized), you can continue to run into this error until all sessions have been restarted. The extend of the error depends on the package being reinitialized (how often it is used and the dependencies it has) and the session that needs to call it.
I think the error may already have been there before you did the chain import and just happened to surface shortly after the import.
Regarding your other questions:
1. RSI_IMPORT_BW_CHAINS or RSI_IMPORT_BW_CHAIN_DEFINITIONS:
the second one is only needed if you want to display the process chain definitions in the web interface before the chain is even running in CPS (in the job monitor you only see the processes that have started); if you do not use that, RSI_IMPORT_BW_CHAINS is enough
2. How would you go about maintaining BW process chains in Redwood (CPS)?
This is a question that every customer runs into at some point. First, you currently can not change a process chain definition in the BI system from CPS. Then there are cases where you probably want to leave the process chain structure intact (typically on the deepest level: drop index, do some work, recreate indexes). And there are other cases where it can be useful to bring some logic to CPS (typically on all levels where you have process chain within process chain in BI, ie. on all but the deepest levels).
For this last case, which is of course the most interesting for CPS, it can be very valuable to recreate the BI "meta-chain" structure in a CPS job chain.
So here you replace the BI "meta-chain" calling several BI process chains by a Cronacle job chain still calling some of the BI process chains (the ones on the deepest levels).
Now you can add all the CPS extras for error handling, retries, cross system dependencies, (external) events, alerting, etc. etc. on each and every point in the CPS job chain, so you get a lot more information, intervention and recovery points on your BI process than you would when running the entire thing in one big BI Process Chain (triggered from CPS or not does not matter).
Typically the customer's decision here mainly depends on the advantages that can be achieved, especially if there are service levels to be met on the reports that need to be delivered from BI and these deadlines tend to get tighter by the month.
By reducing the total runtime of the process or reducing the number of errors that occur or if they occur, the amount of work to fix it, you can save a lot of time, and thus money.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Anton.

My iTunes 7 woes and subsiquent work around

When I try and launch iTunes, I get a error message that says "Can't launch iTunes because some files are missing" or some jazz. After a little playing around, i found that when I kill iTunesHelper.exe and relaunch it (it's in the itunes directory) iTunes will launch. Except that everytime I quit iTunes and then try to launch it again later, I have to go through these same steps. Like I said, it's a temporary work around. At any rate this may be the same problem that many of you are having but are just not getting the error that I am seeing.

This new version *****. I'm going back to 6.0.
Make note (for PC users): "DO NOT UPGRADE TO WINDOWS VISTA UNTIL ALL THE MAJOR BUGS ARE FIXED" which will probably be 6 to 12 months after it is released to the public.

User account performance and setup

Hi,
I have a MB Core Duo 2006 model (old I know!) and have tried using user accounts in the past, but have been concerned by the hit they may have on performance (my MB has been slowing down a lot recently). My wife and kids all use the same computer and I have resorted back to everyone using the same account as Fast User Switching had become very slow. Ive just installed an SSD however, and now FUS has sped up, so Im considering whether to start using user accounts again as the benefits I feel could be great.
So, what Id like to know is, if one user leaves loads of applications and programs open and running in one user account, and a second user comes along and needs to use the computer and fast switches to their account, what sort of perfomance hit can be expected? Or does the activity on the first account all get paged to disk as it were and therefore does not occupy any RAM/processor time? If there is a performance hit, what sort of level are we talking about and what can be done to minimise it?
Further to this, my wife and I currently both share the same user account's iTunes for wifi syncing our iOS devices so we can both access the pool of stored apps, media, etc. that we have built up over the years. Is there anyway of ensuring that regardless of which account is open at any one time, all iOS devices will be synced correctly to our single iTunes library as I dont want to have to maintain multiple iTunes libraries??
Finally, how does Time Machine deal with constant user account switching?
Many thanks,
Rich.

Can the split of resource shared between background and foreground accounts be managed by the user in anyway??
I don't think there is any easy way to allocate the Mac's resources, and I wouldn't be playing with its deep processes anyway, but consider this.
Modern computers are powerful out of the box, and they have oodles of RAM (potentially) and gigabytes of hard disk real estate to stroll around, so I don't think a lack of resources is a real concern.
I read on x704.net that the Mars Rover is running on a 200 Mhz CPU from the late 90's! the same used in the Apple G3.
Modern Macs are pretty powerful to handle more than one user.
The most resource intensive activities on the CPU are file transferring and processing parrticularly large media file sizes , and internet streaming of video which is heavy. Apart from these activities any other activities can be run simultaneously without too much drag.
It is not the amount of data loaded in RAM or paged out to Disk, but rather the CPU cycles devoted to a task that will slow things or crash the computer.
I used to play SecondLife and sometimes played two characters from two accounts (FUS) when I wanted to give some resources from one to the other, on the one Mac without any slowdown, despite SL being a resource intensive game.
If you add more RAM Rich, I think your Mac should be able to handle more than one account open. Computers can be pushed, their only stress is heat, for there is no friction to deal with, broadly speaking.
With sharing media, look at this link for one method.

Syncing of Apps and a Work Around I Thought Of

(this is an excerpt from a previous thread which was not answered - if you could kindly help me out with this and offer your expertise it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!)
Hi All,
I know this will be quite a change of tone from what you've been getting so far here in this thread, but I want to start of by saying thank you, for all the help and guidance you have been and are giving us. I greatly appreciate it.
I have a question on apps folder structure upon restoring from backup. I will share with you the chronology of events, what I understand, what I hope to achieve and what ways I think this can be achieved. By sharing with you my whole thought process, I hope to get your critique and correction if at any part I have misconstrued the logic. Thanks in advance again.
I have 2 iPhone and 2 iPads. When I bought my first iPad (brand new) I plugged it into iTunes and did a restore from my iPhone 4G backup. I believe I selected "Sync Apps" (though I can't confirm now cause I formatted my computer already) because all my iPhone apps were synced to my iPad - which is great. Q1 --> Because I restored from my iPhone 4G backup which presumably had "Sync Apps" checked, I believe my first iPad's iTunes syncing options also had "Sync Apps" checked as well - reason is that all the "Music", "Movies" and "Photos" options were also transferred over. Am I correct? Thanks
So for the rest of the post, I will assume the iTunes setting for my 1st iPad was set to "Sync Apps" (until you correct me otherwise).
My computer was running a bit crappy --> Windows, I know haha, so I formatted it. I did not save my backup file to an external harddrive and then put it back into the %appdata% iTunes Mobile Sync folder. Therefore after formatting, I plugged my iPad into the new computer and did a backup. Because (if I remember correctly, - (Q2) please correct me if I am wrong) it sensed my iPad as connect to a previous iTunes it asked me if I wanted to disconnect from the previous iTunes and sync to this one cause I do know that we can only sync to one iTunes at a time. I had to re-configure all my "Music, "Movies" and "Photo" settings again as this was a new iTunes configuration - which I do understand. Q3 - if I have a new iTunes because I formatted my computer, but I ported over the old backup file and restored my iPad from there, would it still be considered a new iTunes link and thus I have to configure everything again? I don't think so cause the backup contains all the settings; what I think will happen is that I will just be asked if I want to disconnect from the old iTunes and connect to the new one, and all my settings will be restored from the backup.
So I synced my "Music", "Movies", "Photos" and also "Info" and "Podcasts" (I don't use "TV Shows") and got it all set up. Only thing I didn't tick was the apps - perhaps cause I didn't take the time to understand it previously owing to the fact that I didn't need to then ha, but now I do!! So after everything was synced, I did a backup. After reading your thread, and the link you gave, I understood that I have to transfer purchases from my iPad because my iTunes had no apps - as it is a "new iTunes". So I transferred my purchases.
Next I joined my 2nd iPad (second hand iPad) and did a "Restore" (If you are experiencing problems with you iPad, you can restore its original settings by clicking Restore.) to wipe out apps etc that the previous owner had. Q4 - what is the difference betwixt the "Restore" in iTunes below "Check for Update" and the iPad's "Settings" --> "General" --> "Reset" --> "Erase All Content and Settings"? I believe (with some experiments ha) the "Restore" in the iTunes will give me a "brand new" iPad but I don't know what is the difference betwixt that and "Erase All Content and Settings".
I then restored from the backup of my 1st iPad. But remember just now I mentioned that I did not tick the "Sync Apps" in my 1st iPad's settings? So after the restore was done, I had all my "Music", "Movies" and "Photos" + "Podcasts", "Info", everything but my "Apps" --> because I didn't tick "Sync Apps" in my backup. So my 2nd iPad had everything but "Apps".
Now I need to rectify that and create a mirror of my 1st iPad. I don't jailbreak my iOS devices and all my Apps are bona fide purchases with my hard earned money . Here is the solution I thought of and the single problem I face.
Solution: On my 2nd iPad, click Sync Apps, select all the apps I want in my iPad, and then click Apply. Then I restore the backup of my 1st iPad. That restores all my app data and very importantly, my folder structure (cause when we have a lot of apps and we organise it all into folders, re-putting them back into folders can be quite time consuming; quite the antithesis of computing in the first place).
This truly give me a mirror image of my 1st iPad (please kindly correct me if I am wrong). The only problem is that, the Sync Apps is still not ticked. Q5 - Is there any benefits of my ticking "Sync Apps" vis a vis doing it this work around method? (Update: I thought of something - "Sync Apps" would allow all the apps on my iPad to be automatically synced to my iTunes but for my work around, I need to think of all the apps I want on my iPad and tick them. If it is for example 50 out of 50 apps, it's simple. But if it's 50 apps out of 150 apps in my iTunes then it would be a big headache. Any other benefits / costs?) My "File Sharing" is still working ok - in the sense I can still transfer data to my apps without having it synced (thankfully it is not sync dependent - but please once again correct me if I am wrong).
The reason why I do this work around method is because if I were to click "Sync Apps", it would get all my apps into my iPad but it would destroy all my folder structures. Q6 - however if I do this "Sync Apps", when the apps are transferred to my iPad I would have all the app data on my iPad already right? Because I postulate it work on a n-tier abstraction separating data from the app. I think this is true because previously I restored from backup and had some apps missing, but when I downloaded the app all the data was "magically" there.
Q7 - is there any way to maintain apps folder structures when I am syncing to a new iTunes instead of the work around I have thought of?
Q8 - and last question haha. My iPad has 10 3rd party apps now for example. If I backup now, it would backup the app data of all 10 apps (3rd party apps - notation left out for simplicity sake moving forward). However if I deleted 2 apps from these 10 apps, then if I backup the 8 apps, would it mean that the backup no longer stores the 2 deleted apps's app data? I think that would be the case but I would just like to confirm.
Thank you for reading my very long post and I really appreciate all your help, Allan and all others. Looking forward to your advice, guidance and response!! Thank you once again!!!
P.S. does iTunes lag quite a bit in Windows (if you are a Windows user)? For me it's not the quickest programme around; can get quite laggy sometimes, on my newly formatted and empty 64 bit 4GB Dual Core 2.4 GHz HP TX2 and Acer computer as well

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

New user account "other" and cant delete it

hi everyone,
i dont know what caused that but since yesterday i have that new user account "other".
i tried to delete it with root-user but it isnt shown there, activate root-user and delete again after restart didnt work either.
is some of the professionals here able to help me? i bad need an idea to fix that. Its on my macbook pro and also at my macpro, both with OS 10.6.8
Only new software i installed was MindManger 9 Upgrade direct from MindJet.
Thanks a lot ;-)

Hi Atlan,
in the forum of Livescribe it is stated as a known problem
They are working on it.
Also some suggestions from other user how to get rid of the account.
I have not tried that as it seems you than delete also the Livescribe account and desktop.
I just wait till an update from Livescribe comes out.
To not show that other account you can change settings for login screen
Just show field name and password.
Now, I believe showing th eother account cannot do harm.
It is not the root account. That's disabled as I have seen.
The only question: Can Livescribe takeover your computer?
And if so, hacking livescribe will possible mean that they can hack your system then?
So, the only rigid solution is: delelete all Livescribe etc. , go to timemachie and set back your system.
But only if I would know the other account can create problems I would take this major step.
For now I wait and see
So, lets see what Livescribe will do and at what speed!

What can I do?

Hi Intesabra,
Have you made any modifications to the machine before the issue?
First of all ,I would suggest you to update the machine manually.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\Check for updates.
I also suggest you to perform a full scan with the antivirus software to eliminate the virus issue considering this issue is a little wierd. We can do this in safe mode to improve the scanning quality.
Run "services.msc" to check the status of "User Profiles Service" and ensure it is running.
Run "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" or "sfc /scannow" to check the health of the whole system files.
Considering this issue occurred recently, we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point.
Best regards

Windows 7 user account network and administration problem

Hello
I hope I am in the correct place and that my problem can be looked at, if not could I ask the moderator to move this post to the correct forum.
I have a very unusual problem that I hope can be resolved here.
I have 3 x Win 7 machines ( 2 x Pro and 1 x Ultimate ) all on my network but recently I tried to SFTP/SSH using winscp into one of them ( Pro ) only to find that access was denied – it took ages to find out why
– I finally noticed that the user name I created ( that has admin rights ) was not actually in the c:\Users\ folder what has happened is that all the files that should be in my created windows account are sitting in a folder called “user”which
is insidec:\Users\
I then created a folder that has the same user login nameI originally created, inside
c:\Users\
and copied all the files from the “user” folder and then tried to STFP/SSH into the original created user name but that did not work
I then tried this link
User Account - Hide using method 2 point 12, i.e adding (1) to the SpecialAccounts key, but that has not unhide my user account.
Using this cmd below
net user > Desktop\Users.txt
lists the users but I would expect to see i.e
Administrator ( followed by ) …. (created username)
What I am seeing however is below
Guest ( followed by ) …. (user)
When I use the command
lusrmgr.msc I see below :-
Name = user
Full name = my created windows login
Description = blank
I hope I can get some help here – I have cloned my disc in case of any mishaps but all I want to do is get my created win 7 user account working as it should, incidentally the login welcome screen appears on the
created account.

Hello
MeipoXu
I think that I have managed to get into a better position since your last email above, but not quite where I need to be.
I have posted 3 jpg's
jpg key 501 = c:\Users\D&S
jpg key1000 = c:\Users\User
jpg winscp = my SFTP attempt to my problem machine
key 1000 = c:\Users\User .. everything I try to do will not get rid of this key.
However c:\Users\D&S finally appeared, and I was able to SFTP login using winscp only to find the root reports as c:\Users\user.
What I should see is c:\Users\D&S but I can only access c:\Users\User and not c:\Users\D&S
( Does that all make sense ? )
The other thing I noticed was that key 501
is normally reserved for the guest account c:\users\guest
But it has taken over c:\Users\D&S ... if you can get me past this then I will be extremely grateful
I need to see the root reported back as c:\Users\D&S not c:\Users\User
Turning to your post above and may I thank you for your help in trying to resolve this but before I proceed I need to be very clear about what you are suggesting I do.
Your Quote
Enable the built-in administrator account and login with it .To enable the built-in account:
net user administrator /active:yes
Q) Do I login with new the Admin account first then net user administrator /active:yes ?
Your Quote
Cut the whole folder and paste it to the Users folder , then navigate to the registry keys"ProfileImagePath" and change it to "c:\Users\account name".
Q) Cut and past which folder ? is it the folder c:\Users\D&S ? and where am I pasting it as "D&S" already exists in c:\Users\D&S .. I already created it and copied all the contents from "user" to "D&S"
Your Quote
Restart the machine and login with that account and then have a check.
Q) That bit must mean login with D&S
Your Quote
If the issue has gone ,please run "net user administrator /active:no" to disable the built-in account.Again
A) Got that bit :-)
Apologies for the above but I have found to my cost that if you assume what something means it can turn out to be mis understood and I could end up creating more trouble for myself
I will submit the winscp jpg separately as you can only submit 2 jpg's per message
Thank you

Two users accounts, WiFi sync stopped working

Hi,
I've just set up my MacBook with two user accounts, and set up iTunes within each user account to use the same library from a shared folder (as per the instrcutions on Apple support).
The idea is that the first iPhone and iPad syncs to the administrators iTunes, and the second iPhone syncs to the second user's iTunes.
The second users iPhone never worked with WiFi sync, the first user's iPhone used to WiFi sync, but now doesn't. The iPad still syncs ok with the adminstarors account.
By "not syncing", I mean not appearing as a device in itunes without being atached with a cable. Everything works as intended with a cable.
I've tried initiating the sync from the iPhones themselves, without any success.
Can anybody help?
Cheers.

Don't know the solution (I don't use wifi sync) but thought I'd mention that -50 is a timeout error. Maybe someone else here has an idea.

I have had wireless issues sense Leapord, any fixes yet? its a shame that my wife has to sit in front of our 27 inch imac on a $300 Windows computer to use the web effectively. I have tried all fixes and some work while others don't but all temporary

This Lion wireless issue has become more than just an irritation, so much so, my wife has resorted to sitting in front of a 27 inch imac with a 300 dollar Walmart Windows computer to get the bills paid and use the web. And yes, there is not a fix out there I haven't tried over the last year or so, some worked and some didn't, but all were temporary at best. Same issue with my Macair, I wonder if its a hardware issue, like the video card in my 2006 MBP, it went out after the warrenty and then I found out there was a calss action suit going on over it, unfortunately Apple wouldn't cover it and wanted 7oo bucks to fix it, sold that as parts.
While i really like me Macs, I own three, I may have to bow out and stick with LINUX, that has yet to let me down, anyone know if Mountain will fix this issue? or are we all just waiting for defective WiFi cards to fail at our own expense, PS, got three Macs for sale.

Sounds like you're getting kernel panics, which are usually, but not always, caused by hardware problems, with memory being one of the regular culprits.
First thing I would do is to get our your original OS X disks, insert the first one (should say 'AHT version x.x' in small print on the label - if not, find the one that does), and reboot holding the Alt key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. If you have either of the TechTool programs, they can do similar testing. Does that identify any hardware issues?
Next, I'd download rember from http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/ . This is a memory testing program that you can set to run overnight. Does it come up with any errors? If so, try resetting your memory card(s) by removing and putting back into the computer. Rerun memory test.
This FAQ will provide other details: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

Volume Logic 1.3.2 and Leopard work-around

I found a good work-around that got VL 1.3.2 working under Leopard.
I found the "fix" at Veerle's blog...
http://veerle.duoh.com/blog/comments/nomore_volume_logicupdate/
Here's the summary so that you don't have to jump to another site...
Quit iTunes
Download iWOW (updated for Leopard) Demo and install - http://www.srs-store.com/store-plugins/mall/iwow-plugin.asp
Quit iTunes or dont start iTunes....
Drag the iWOW plugin out of /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/HAL/ to the desktop
Ctrl Click iWOW plugin (show package contents)
Goto Contents/MacOS/ (you should see iTea.)
Ctrl Click VolumeLogic plugin (show package contents)
Goto Contents/MacOS/ (you should see iTea.)
Replace the iTea located in the Volume Logic plugin with the one from iWOW on the desktop.
This was all I needed to do, since I was able to activate VL without a problem. If you get an activation error from eSellerate, try the following...
Download the Latest eSR SDK - http://webvise.mindvision.com/pub/mac/eSellerateEmbeddedSDK.dmg
Mount the eSellerate Embedded SDK and look in the "eSellerate Libs" folder for "EWSMacCompress.tar.gz"
Go to /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/HAL/VolumeLogic.plugin
Ctrl click and choose "Show Package contents" and open the folder "Resources"
Replace the "EWSMacCompress.tar.gz" with the one from the eSR SDK dmg you just mounted

In one of my projects I used a third-party Jar-file. I placed it into the code/jars directory of my SAP BC package.
The "original" mail.jar resides in sapbc47/Server/lib. Ever tried to replace it with the newer one ?

Note size limit and slight work-around in Lyrics

I tried to reply to a older post, but since it's archived I wasn't able to so I'll simply reference it.
I followed the suggestions from the following post in order to fit more continuous viewable text on my iPod:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3412651#3412651
According to the post, since you can fit appx. 256 MB into ID3 tags (and only 4K in Notes), that you could create a short song only for the purpose of storing text in the Lyrics tab. I followed the suggestions and while I was able to fit a little more than twice as much text in the Lyric as I could the note, only a portion of the lyrics was actually viewable on the iPod.
Let me clarify. I could fit the ENTIRE text that I wanted (a text file 200K) into the Lyrics tab and could view all of it in iTunes, only a small portion was viewable on the iPod itself.
So, I was able to slightly work-around the note size limit, I wasn't able to expand it by as much as was suggested in the original post/thread.
Does anyone have any ideas? Obviously, I can't get back to the original posters personally (Chris CA, b noir, and chanyiwai), so hopefully some of them will see this thread.
Has anyone else found a better work-around?

The ID3 tag can be 256MB but how that tag is implemented by Apple in iTunes, I don't know.
Haven't heard of any other workarounds for more text.
Really though, the iPod is not designed for documents/texts.

GPIB User account error

GPIB ERROR:
I created a prgm in LV to control a 3561A signal Analyzer via GPIB. I was able to run the program in my account.
I copied the main VI along with all the subVIs to another user account (Administator Account) in the same computer. There i could not run the program. The error msg in the attachment always comes.
I have installed the GPIB drivers in this Administator Account.
What could be the problem?

Hi davidek,
Sorry for the late reply. Yes its possible to run the MAX from the other account. It has been installed to use for all users.
Administators have full control and other users have the permission to read and execute.
