User Account Issues - cannot open certian programs!!!

I have a MacBook Pro 3.1 operating 10.5.8
it is set up on an active directory and the network admins are set to administrate the machine.
However, the user has administrative rights but cannot open itunes or iphoto because of the error
"The folder "+program name+" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder"
how do i get rid of this and allow the user to have full control of the machine?

That sounds like another user has the same iPhoto or iTunes library open in his own account. iTunes and iPhoto libraries can only be accessed from one user account at a time, unless one is using the built-in sharing features (iTunes or iPhoto preferences -> sharing).

2 Mac User Accounts - 1 cannot open a catalog

Hi,
I have a Mac with 2 users account (wife and I) and I have spent hours creating a catalog and setting up it perfectly. I now want my wife to be able to see this from her account.
After many trials I have moved all my photos to the Shared Users folder and also created my catalog in the same folder. My wife can also see this folder but when I try to open the catalog from her PSE 10 account it gives a "The catalog cannot be opened. It is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated". It works fine from my account.
The version is not out of date.
Surely it must be possible for 2 users to view the same catalog on 1 PC, i.e. no multi user access as only 1 person can log in at a time. Otherwise everytime I load new pictures into the catalog and she logs in she will also have to import them without knowing where I have saved the photos.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Glenn

I installed Lightroom CC successfully but cannot open the program. What can I do?

Dear colleagues,
I installed Lightroom CC successfully but cannot open the program. What can I do?
Thanks for you help.

The situation with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 and version earlier than it (in particular 3.0/3.0.2) is disturbing with regard to MPEG2 Activation.
Adobe document says that it no longer supports MPEG2 Activation for versions 8.0/8.0.1 and earlier and points the users of this group of products to a version later than 8.0/8.0.1, the current latest version 12.
But, I am not sure of the real answer. The doubts are cast by the findings of some who have claimed to have solved the problem using a uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall scheme when they have been met by the MPEG2 Activation issue.
But, I would ask....Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your Windows 7 64 bit computer? And, are you working with version 3.0 as the 3.0.2 Update?
Is it still possible to run your Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2 on the prior computer on which it was installed?
Also, does your Windows 7 64 bit come with Windows XP Mode
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
which is essentially a virtual Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit.
As last resort, and highly experimental, but would you have time to experiment by replacing your latest version of QuickTime with the QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1 and then determining what happens with your Premiere Elements 3.0/3.0.2 Windows 7 64 bit situation? Do not bother with the MPEG Streamclip program download, just the QuickTime Alternative 1.8.1.

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file for

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing , or the file may be open in another application?

Shouldn't the CC version be able to open any file created in an older version on InDesign?
Yes, it ought to.
If the older file wasn't yours (if someone emailed it to you,or burned it on a disc, or whatever), then I am almost willing to bet you a beverage in the city of your choice that it's not a complete InDesign file. That is, maybe it was zipped and renamed, or the beginning or end of the file was chopped off during download, or something like that. The only reason I'm not actually making the bet is that there is a remote chance that I'd lose, and maybe you're in Adelaide or Khabarovsk or somewhere where the cost of airfare to me would make that bet a very expensive bet for me to to lose. So no latte for you if I'm wrong!
The script that Jongware posted will tell you what version of InDesign made the file to begin with. Additionally, if someone did something like rename YourFile.PDF to YourFIle.INDD, it'll report that it's Not An InDesign File. Because while SpectrumPCS is kinda right and that message can be generated when attempting to open a CS5 file in CS3 or whatever, it also spits out the same message when you just try to open an Autocad file, or a Windows system file, or a PDF, or any file that InDesign actually cannot open at all.

Cannot open Reader program, no error messages (Windows XP, SP3)

Hello all! I am hoping someone can provide a solution to my frustration....
Earlier this summer I was having some computer trouble. The computer was under warranty - HP came out and changed the memory and system board.
I have not been having any issues except for ONE thing - I cannot open Adobe Reader to view PDF files. Any PDF files on my system show the Adobe icon, but when clicking on a PDF file or the application itself, nothing happens. The hourly glass shows up briefly and then goes away, but otherwise, nothing.
Temporarily, I got by using another PDF reader. Unfortunately, some of our business systems only work with Adobe, so getting Adobe to work is now critical.
What I have tried (with no luck):
1) Uninstalled Reader, did a system search to remove all Reader files, re-installed latest version
2) Searched the Adobe community and other internet sites for help - tried a Microsoft fix, Adobe cleaner program, went into the Program Files menu to accept the user agreement, etc.
3) Installed earlier verions (9.5, and then 7.0)
Any other ideas? I called back HP, and they tried to be helpful but said it was a software issues since all other programs were running successfully. They suggested I re-install the operating system!
Thank you for your help.

Creating another User Account Issues

Hello-
I recently created another user account because of of corruption issues and need to have the same functionality in the new user profile. I transferred all the old user profile data to the new user profile as per instructions posted here:
Locate the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and Old_Username is the name of the profile
you want to copy files from.
Select all of the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:
Ntuser.dat
Ntuser.dat.log
Ntuser.ini
Click the Edit menu, and then click Copy.
If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt.
Locate the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and New_Username is the name of the new
user profile you created.
Click the Edit menu, and then click Paste.
If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt.
Log off, and then log back on as the new user.
After doing this I have noticed some programs not launching the same with missing info. For example TeamSpeak3 launches but opens as a new user with none of my saved bookmark profiles even though they are listed in the directory file. To me
it has to be a permissions thing or User data transfer issue, because I have the user data in the old user app data file but none in the new user app data.
I am the only user of this computer so there is no user issues with other people and would like full functionality. Thanks in advance.

@ Kate Li thanks for responding and yes I did follow the instructions in the folder options to unhide and show all the files I didn't copy>paste that portion just to save room on the post. The link is the same as the one I used:
Click the View tab, and then click Show
hidden files, folders, and drives.
Clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, click Yes to
confirm, and then click OK.
One mistake I did make was to copy>paste the shortcuts when I know now to just create them from the program directory (send to desktop) context.
Would you happen to have a link explaining how to go about transferring or importing registry files?

Mail issues, cannot open or close

I cannot open my mailbox. I click on the stamp with the eagle on it, and on gray bar where things open up it says "mail", but i cannot write or read messages, and i cannot quit the application. No content is shown, no emails or anything. It is just my computer background. I tried to quit mail, but it will not let me do that. I cannot restart my computer, because mail is not closed. So if mail will not fully open, yet it is open enough to not be able to restart my computer without quitting, but there is no quit option and the commandQ button is not working ,how do i go about getting rid of this problem??

You seem to have some serious flaws on your harddisk.
Do you ever run maintenance software (e.g.
MacJanitor) or switch off your Mac every day? It's
doing some maintenance by itself in the middle of the
night if you leave it on.
This reply gets more & more detailed, just begin with
the first instructions and see of that helps. If not,
work down the list of suggestions or post back for
more instructions.
Run Disk Utility - Repair Permissions and if that
brings up a whole set of issues, try something more
serious like Disk Warrior.
MacJanitor (free)
DiskWarrior
(not free)
If you want more details on these problems, have a
look here for

deal with these problems. Plus some notes on side effects of cache cleaning

Thank you for your very prompt reply. I will follow your suggestions and post back. No, I do not use any other programme such as you have suggested. I usually put my computer to sleep overnight.
However, maybe I have discoverd a clue. When I opened e-mail Back Up just now, I got a message:
"Please finish editing and close the editing window before openiong a back up."
I fear I may have been working on an e-mail while thye Back Up was in progress. Coulod this have been a cause?
I also note that my back up programme dialogue box now tells me that there are no scheduled back ups for e-mail or for my home folder. I hesitate to instruct it to continue with back ups until I find out whatt the problem is.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Cannot open Lightroom program

When clicking on the image to start the program it shows the name of only one of my many catalogs, and when trying to open it, I get an error message stating something like unexpected error - cannot open, try another catalog, but no names or or paths to the other catalogs are accessible?
Yesterday I installed ZIPfile software and also CanoScan 9000f with software and I am afraid that either of those may have overwritten the access rules to Lightroom, but do not know.

I had exactly the same issue and fixed it almost instantly by following the suggestion to rename the previews.lrdata folder in my latest lightroom backup file. This is the same as deleting it. When you then open Lightroom, it will regenerate the missing previews quickly and you will be back in business. My problem was caused by an interruption in the backup process which corrupted the file. John W.

I updated to the newest version of itunes, now I cannot open the program. I get the message "The file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". What now?

I updated to the newest version of iTunes and now I can not open the program. I get the message "The file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". What now? I'm using Windows Vista.

Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
1. Delete old Library file
2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension - 'iTunes Library'
You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file.

New user account - cann´t open bootcamp partition through vmware fusion

Hi all!
I installed on my new Imac Bootcamp first, than VMware using the bootcamp partition under my admin account ( all working fine ).
After a few days I opened a new standard user account for my wife.
I hoped that VMware Fusion will work under these new user too. I opened the VMware and the bootcamp partition was displayed. I klicked the execute button for using these partition under VMware but the rotating sun icon rotated and rotated and rotated .... nearly 30 minutes later I stopped the VMware.
When I try it now to open VMware a message is displayed - translated from German - or words to that effect :
" Package "users/nameofwife/Library/ApplicationSupport/VMWareFusion/VirtualMachines/BootC amp/%2Fdev%2Fdisc0/BootCamp partition.vmwarevm" is corrupted and cann´t open "
My question : Is it possible that my wife gets access to VMware too ?
Please help - thx
Gregor

Okay solution found found a solution finally... i followed the steps outlined in this article: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144252?start=0&tstart=0 . After i did this my windows bootcamp partition showed up again, but my osx and osx recovery disks became unbootable. Luckily I have an extra enternal harddrive with osx installed on, so ran disk utility and repaired the affected disk where osx had become unavailable. Then rebooted and all disks now shows up and work perfectly again.

OBIEE Dev VM Install Issue:Cannot open archive "ARCHIVE.zip" as archive

All,
I downloaded all eleven files for the OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Sample Application (V207).
I checked the MD5 Sum of the first two files and the MD5 Sums match, however when I use 7zip to extract the files, I get an error that says: Cannot open archive "ARCHIVE.zip" as archive
Has anyone encountered this issue? I verified that the files are not read-only and that they are not "blocked" by Windows.
I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Edition on a Dell laptop.
I encountered this error on two separate archives with correct MD5 Sums.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I have resolved this issue. The reason I guess is also "locale"
"$localectl" output "System Locale: n/a" and I check the /etc/locale.conf I found this file is lost.
So after I press below command and reboot the machine, gnome-terminal could be started.
# localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
Thanks all!
