User not logged in but MDSImporterWorker is running... should I be worried?

As the title says, I occassionally have a few users that are not logged in, but MDSImporterWorker is doing it's thing. It seems persistent on a single account, but when I remove the account, it jumps to another account. I've reset passwords (strong passwords), but still going.
Is this normal? Should I be worried?

I had this problem after exposing my iphone to steam from the shower (don't ask why). Apparently, my iphone received "water damage" as indicated by the indicators after a visit to the genius bar. I just blew out the bottom of my iphone with air and over time the problem just went away. There's no way water touched the ports though so it seems the water damage indicator is a bit too sensitive.
Basically, if it the dock connector on your iphone gets wet/steamy/dirty then it can start acting up. Clean it like jagamac said and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, I would suggest trying a different charger. If the problem persists (using a geniune apple charger), then it's probably best to visit the genius bar.

My imac feels really hot, but works fine. Should I be worried?

My imac feels really hot, but works fine. Should I be worried?? My son plays a Star Wars game on line that seems to make it become really hot. He says it skips during the game, so he gets out of the game. When I check the computer, everything is fine. Thanks!!

alb,
What you are experiencing is fairly commom. When our grandkids play games on our Mac, that's when things do get pretty warm, especially in the upper left hand corner where the CPU is. The imac does rely heavily on "heat sink" technology instead of high speed, noisy fans to keep things running properly. That being said, be sure to keep the vents that are located on the top back section of the computer screen, clean. This will allow for proper venting. If your son plays computer games long and often, you can keep a small external fan running in back of the Mac. This may be appropriate in the hot Summer, in a non air conditioned environment.

User is not logged on, but the system thinks it did!

Hi,
We're having a problem with one user. When you try to log on with his userid and password, this notification screan comes up: You have already logged in. Do you want to logout and login to a different Organization? "YES" "NO"
Trying again, doesn't work.
When you watch the logged on sessions with the admin console, you will see that there is a session with the user and that he is indeed logged on!
BUT this is not how it is for real, cause he is NOT logged on, doesn't get further then this notification screen!!
Someone knwos what's wrong? We still have to try to restart everything, but it's a production system so we'll have to wait till nobody is logged on :-S
Thanks!

- it is possible to terminate the session and the user is logged of (also get's the message)
- when the users answers no (to log of and log in to a new organization) you stay at the same screen notification
and the admin console shows the user as logged on
- when the users answers yes (to log of and log in to a new organization) it get's the logon screen (default logon screen)
and the admin console shows the user as logged off
- when i inactivate the user and it is logged on, it get's after trying to logon new this message: This user is not active.
Contact your system administrator, but it stays logged on .. shows the admin console
- i also can delete the user from the organization (after one time logged on it has a profile under the users from the logged on organization)

CryptAcquireContext failing with ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2L) when user not logged on Windows 8.1

I am having a hard time migrating a C++ CryptoAPI-based application that currently runs on Windows Server 2008 to Windows 8.1. The scenario is:
This application is eventually triggered by WatchDog.exe, which in its turn is triggered when the computer is started by Windows' Task Scheduler.
Task Scheduler uses the following rules to start the WatchDog.exe:
A Administrator User Account;
Run Whether user is logged on or not;
UNCHECKED: Do not store password. The task will only have access to local resources;
Run with Highest Privileges;
Configure for Win 8.1;
Triggered at system startup.
The server sits there, nobody logged, until in a given scenario WatchDog.exe starts the application. Application log confirms that the owner of the process (GetUserName)
is the very same user Task Scheduler used to trigger WatchDog.exe.
It turns out that this application works fine in Windows Server 2008, but in windows 8.1 a call to CryptAcquireContext fails
with return code ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2L). The odd thing is that the application will NOT fail if, when started, the user is physically logged
on the machine, although it was not the user who started the application manually.
I took a look at the documentation and
found:
"The profile of the user is not loaded and cannot be found. This happens when the application impersonates a user, for example, the IUSR_ComputerName account."
I had never heard of impersonification, so I made a research and found the APIs LogonUser,ImpersonateLoggedOnUser and RevertToSelf.
I then updated the application in this way:
HANDLE hToken;
if (! LogonUser(L"admin", L".", L"XXXXXXXX", LOGON32_LOGON_BATCH, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hToken))
logger->log (_T("Error logging on."));
else
logger->log (PMLOG_LEVEL_TRACE, _T("Logged on."));
if (! ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(hToken))
logger->log (_T("Error impersonating."));
else
logger->log (_T("Impersonated."));
err = XXXXXXXXX(); // calls function which will execute CryptAcquireContext
if (! RevertToSelf())
logger->log (_T("Error reverting."));
else
logger->log (_T("Reverted."));
Excerpt with the call to CryptAcquireContext:
// Get the handle to the default provider.
if(! CryptAcquireContext(&hCryptProv, cryptContainerName, MS_ENHANCED_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL, 0))
DWORD e = GetLastError();
_stprintf_s (logMsg, 1000, _T("Error %ld acquiring cryptographic provider."), e);
cRSALogger->log (logMsg);
return ERR_CCRYPT_NO_KEY_CONTAINER;
cRSALogger->log (_T("Cryptographic provider acquired."));
As the result, I got the log:
[2015/01/08 20:53:25-TRACE] Logged on.
[2015/01/08 20:53:25-TRACE] Impersonated.
[2015/01/08 20:53:26-ERROR] Error 2 acquiring cryptographic provider.
[2015/01/08 20:53:26-TRACE] Reverted.
That seems to show that impersonation is working properly, but still I get Error 2 (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) on CryptAcquireContext.
Summary:
On Windows Server 2008, the very same application runs properly even without the calls to LogonUser/Impersonate/Revert.
On Windows 8.1, the application, with or without the calls to LogonUser/Impersonate/Revert, will only work properly if the user is logged on (which
is not acceptable).
Any thoughts where I can run to in order to get this working on windows 8.1?
Thank in advance,
Dan

There are a couple of issues.
Based on the parameters being used in CryptAcquireContext(). A profile needs to be loaded and your app has to be running as the same user who created the keyset. (which is why it works when a user is logged on Windows 8.1) Also, impersonation
does not load your user profile, you need to call LoadUserProfile(). It seems like you should be using a machine keyset for your scenario if you want to do this when nobody is logged on.
Take a look at the following KB article for more information.

Session in Progress - user not logged in.

I show a user session in EAS with a status of "in progress" for a spreadsheet operation. User claims to not being logged in to Essbase and not to have initiated a worksheet retrieval. This happened before to this same user id and I let their session continue overnight and it eventually stopped on its own. As before, user said they were not logged in. Has anyone seen this before? I hesitate to "force kill" the session as it probably will create a "terminating" status and hang up the entire application.
Thanks,
Paul

Not saying this is what you are seeing, but this happened when a user had embedded their id into a spreadsheet macro. It turned out that someone else had gotten hold of the spreadsheet some months later and was running stuff in Essbase without even knowing it.
Try checking the IP address in the EAS sessions and see if the ip matches the persons computer.

Picture not shown in report when user not logged on.

Scenario (also described in thread: http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum81/HTML/000726.html)
I create a table mypics:
title varchar2(100), mypic varchar2(100). I create a Portal form that uses file upload on mypic. The form will put the picture into some table...
I then create a report with the following sql:
select title,
'[IMG SRC="'| | decode(MYPIC, '', PORTAL30.wwctx_api.get_image_path | | 'noimg.jpg',
owa_util.get_cgi_env('DOC_ACCESS_PATH') | | '/' | | MYPIC) | |'"]' MYPIC
from SCOTT.mypics
(replace [] with <>)
The report do not show the picture if the report is added as a component in a content area, and the user is not logged on.
(Workarounds are to use portal pages instead i think).
But still, the problem probably has to do with some granting ?

Hi,
If this is the case, then first of all you have to make your objects language dependant. Then load the data for English (If you have), German etc with 0LANGU as the key of the object.
Then only you can view the descriptions/names/texts etc. in the various languages.
Hope this helps.

Logging off but keeping programs running?

Wasnt sure if this is the right category to post this question, but here goes;
My girlfriend likes to leave her AIM running all the time even when I need to use the computer so I log off of her username and onto mine and of course all her programs quit. I know I have seen Macs log off but keep the programs running, how do I do this?

You can only do this if you're running OS X 10.3 or greater, using Fast User Switching. If your profile is correct, you're still running 10.2.x so this won't work unless you upgrade to 10.3.9.

Constant "unresponsive script" warnings - no particular site - slows computer for considerable time. Now using Explorer (not a fan) but computer running smoothly. I believe the problem is with Firefox. What can be done so I can go back to Firefox?

Headless itunes server works when I'm screensharing in... but stops working when I stop screensharing. Server user remains logged in, but clients cannot access.

I have a headless OS X Server, on which I've created a new Network User: "iTunes". When I screenshare into the server machine, all my devices are able to see the Home Shared itunes account an play movies, TV and music. As soon as I stop screensharing in to the server machine (even though I keep the user "iTunes" logged in), none of my devices can access the home-shared account. Very strange... ideas??

I solved issue by completely uninstall Mc Cafee ==" (so persistent)
Phew, i can go to iTunes as usual

New user not logging in

I just tried to add my daughter as a user on my computer. It's not the first time I've done it, but on a different computer. I log out, log her in, and then I just get the little blue dot in the upper right corner and it won't go any further. Suggestions?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) also have a G4 eMac and a G3 Powerbook

Just letting you know that you are not alone. We have also had many times where the login account is ok and working fine and then we get the blue screen of death and the little spotlight magnifier showing in the upper right corner. Very frustrating. The main account never seems to be affected. To get around this, you can create multiple accounts. Eventually one of them will let you login. But be aware of the blue screen eventually.

A question from my end users – not directly FrameMaker, but in the process

So my apologies for posting here, but this is where the people who know the most about everything hang out <g>
Producing mounds of documentation with FM 9.0p237 means I end up delivering sets of related .pdf files; biggest is a Certification manual, with lots of internal links and also a fair assortment of links to other documents distributed as .pdf files
My happy readers had become accustomed to the idea of of browsing through a chapter in the Certification manual, clicking on a link to check the information at the far end, and then clicking on a friendly green arrow in their Reader to get back where they'd come from. The .pdf equivalent of slipping a bus-ticket into the first book when you need to look something up in the second, if you like ...
Now Reader 9 is trickling down through the user-base, and I'm picking up cries of distress: "where is the Back arrow?" they say. I'm stumped. Does anyone out there have an answer?
Thanks in advance!

Adobe likes to mess with the UI and has hidden some buttons in the navigation pane by default in v.9 Acrobat products.(They also changed the orientation of the next/previous page arrows).
The user has to right-click anywhere in the navigation pane (Page Navigation) to get a list of available buttons. Then they have to check which ones they want (or don't want). The settings will then be sticky for each user.

Will users not logged into server be able to access internet

If I setup OS X 10.8 server in my home will others in household be able to access internet without a user account or logging into server?

Yes, it's just another device on the network that can offer services to other devices. Without the access details and things file sharing or the web server switched on the other users wont even know that there is a server on the network.
