User switching generating iTunes errors.

It seems when I do a "switch user" and I come back to my account after someone else has logged in and opened iTunes, I have an error message:
In fact, there are several of those dialog boxes on top of each other. What gives?

If you don't know what a widget is you almost certainly don't have one, here is an example:
http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=39565
Google yahoo itunes widgets.
I also wonder about iTunes plug ins or any any other thrid party software that might try to access iTunes through the Windows COM interface - that tries to start iTunes.
As a long shot maybe you could look in your Windows event logs and see if these events are generating useful error messages.
I don't know how to do that in Vista but in XP it is via Contol Panel admistrative tool event logs.
As a matter of interst, is there any difference if you try your experiment the other way round? - i.e. log into you second account first, then the first and try to start iTunes.

  • Fast user Switching breaks iTunes Library on Drobo FS

    Hello, Everyone.
    I realize this is a bit of a corner case but what the heck, maybe you can help.
    Our home iMac has two main accounts, husband and wife. Connected to it is a Drobo FS. iTunes media is on the Drobo FS. The iMac Husband account is used to power the whole house media from any device:
    iPhone
    iPad
    AppleTV
    Mac Mini
    When any of these devices wants any content on the iTunes Library from the iMac stored on the Drobo FS they connect using Home Share. Life is good. But life turns bad quickly when Wife logs in on iMac thus automatically causing the Husband account to be logged out. The iTunes connection to Drobo FS breaks and homesharing is disrupted. Finally when fast switching back to the Husband account iTunes and Drobo FS seem to always be broken. The fix is to shut down iTunes and restart it.
    Does anyone have tips on how to better this home theatre evironment.
    Thanks,
    G4M

    But I like Fast User Switching! Any better solutions?

  • Portal theme switcher generates scroll error in RTL

    Portal theme switcher using standard objects generates scroll error in RTL
    Following the Blog for Switching Themes by Topic - A Color Code System for the Portal [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?
    blog=/pub/wlg/2053]
    I developed a portal application and placed it in the page framework.
    It works fine using Left To Right (LTR) languages but when using a Right To Left (RTL) languages like Hebrew and Arabic a long scroll appears in the lower part of the portal window and the masthead is moved a bit with no relation to the position of the other sections (iViews) of the screen.
    I know it’s a custom development but it uses a standard SAP API.
    The system version of the portal is NW 7 SP 14

    Hi Yolanda,
    it´s as you already figured out - 0FISCPER is the problem.
    When you want to create new lines, there can not be a dynamic characteristic in the columns. Each column has to be defined with single values.
    Try to create restricted key figures for the periods you need to show.

  • Fast User Switching-- Disk Access Error

    I have created a Standard User Account with no Parental Controls. I have not had any problems whatsoever logging in to iVisit (video conferencing) as an Admin, but when I log into the Standard account, and try to log into iVisit (using the same log in information as my Admin account, and this is what iVisit suggests I can do) I get the following error message when I click the log in button:
    Disk access error. Check free space and write permissions.
    I've tried logging out of my Admin account first, then logging into the Standard account before I try iVisit, but that didn't work. I've opened up the Standard account as much as possible (I think) to remove any restrictions, and even selected the option to allow user to administer this computer, but that didn't work either.
    Another piece to this puzzle, is that iVisit Help suggested that I install iVisit under the Standard User, just to be safe. But during the install process, the installer quits, and I get an error message that says it can't continue.
    Does anybody know what's going on? I really appreciate any help! Thanks

    I don't know anything about iVisit, but it sounds like it may not be behaving exactly as an OS X installer should — placing files in spots that only admins can access. I would try this as a next step:
    1. Uninstall iVisit.
    2. Make your standard account an admin.
    3. Try and install iVisit through the newly admin'd standard account. Hopefully this avoids the error/crash.
    4. Confirm that iVisit works through this account.
    5. Switch it back to a standard account and test again.
    I don't know if this will fix your problem, but it's worth a shot and may help narrow down the cause of the problem.

  • Apache giving a Directory index forbidden by rule: /Users/me/Music/iTune

    I am trying to configure Apache to display my iTunes folders so that I can download them to my Playstation 3. The Playstation 3 either gives me a network error, or a "Directory index forbidden by rule: /Users/me/Music/iTunes/" in Apache. The network error on the PS3 seems to occur when Bonjour (?) rewrites the system name (I have entered the IP address) to "george-smiths-computer.local", since the playstation 3 doesn't know how to find this address.
    My rules in httpd.conf seem to be OK, so the second Directory error doesn't make sense:
    Alias /iTunes/ "/Users/me/Music/iTunes/"
    <Directory "/Users/me/Music/iTunes/">
    Options +Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    If I put index.html in the directory apache will find and display it, but still no directory index.
    I have a workaround by copying the files to /usr/share/httpd/icons, which DOES show the index:
    <Directory "/usr/share/httpd/icons">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    I played around with Apache and came up with a couple of things to look at. I can get it to give me the Directory index forbidden by rule: /Users/me/Music/iTunes/ error in the log if I mess up the Directory block by forgetting to put a quotation mark at the head of the block:
    <Directory /Users/charlie/Music/iTunes/">
    Also, I can get Apache to show me the 403 error if I have the case wrong on a directory in the path. In other words, if I did "Me" instead of "me" (assuming the home directory really is "me", I get a 403 error. But, strangely enough, it doesn't log it in the error log. So take a real close look at your paths in that directive (I'm assuming you didn't just copy and paste them out, since "me" seems like an unlikely user name).
    The "redirect" to the Bonjour name is more likely a result of content negotiation. I'd guess you're asking for the directory without a trailing "/" character. When that happens, Apache does a redirect to the same directory, but adds the trailing "/". You should be able to get around this by always specifying the "/" in the URL. You might also want to look in the Apache Docs at both the ServerName and UseCanonicalName directives.
    For example, if you don't care about redirects always working sensibly from outside your network (i.e., the Internet), you could always set the ServerName directive to the IP address of your server inside the LAN. And you could turn off UseCanonicalName, too. That would keep it from trying to use the Bonjour name to construct URLs in situations where it does these redirects.

    P.S.--Make sure you back up your http.conf file before you do a lot of hacking at it, just in case. You can always copy in the default, but it's a hassle if you've already done some successful customization...

  • Sharing one iTunes Library with Fast User Switching

    Last year, I started using one MacBook Pro for Office use and Personal Home use, by creating two user accounts on it, and enabling Fast User Switching. I did this when I gave up using two separate desktops macs.
    Now I have two rather similar music libraries, taking up too much hard drive space. Once I enabled Music Sharing in my Office iTunes Library, I realized that I could gain access to that Office Music Library when I am on my Personal Home User account. Since my Library on my Office account is the most complete, can I eliminate the iTunes Library on my Personal Home User account, to save hard drive space?
    If so, how should I do this?

    Since my Library on my Office account is the most
    complete, can I eliminate the iTunes Library on my
    Personal Home User account, to save hard drive
    space?
    Yes.
    If so, how should I do this?
    Move the iTunes folder in Home/Music on the Personal
    Home User Account to the desktop.
    Launch iTunes. Unable to locate a library file, it
    will create a new one, empty one in a new iTunes
    folder at Home/Music.
    Connect to your shared library as usual. If
    everything is working as expected, trash the iTunes
    folder on your desktop.

    My iTunes was created under an admin. user profile that I would like to delete. I created a second profile also with admin privlages but I want to delete the first because I messed up the shortname on the profile. So, if I delete this first profile, will I lose all of my music? Will I lose access to the music?

  • ITunes with fast user switching.

    One day I was listening to a really good and song and found that I need to switch to another account on my Mac so when I switched it stopped my music and I was like crap I have when I have to switch users when listening to music. So I was thinking how cool would it be if when I switched user if itunes would just keep playing so it would not interrupt me. Does anyone know how I could accomplish this?

    Now that I'm running Leopard I can say that is still happens; iTunes stops when switching accounts through Fast User Switching.
    Except yesterday iTunes kept playing for some reason. At the same time it seemed like Fast User Switching was broken, at least from the account with iTunes playing. Only the Login Window choice was enabled. So it might be that selecting a user directly is when iTunes gets stopped. However I don't know how to get it to work that way again since the login window option is not available when Fast User Switching is turned off—you can only Log Out (which of course turns off everything).
    Maybe an enterprising programmer can fix this lack of choice in Leopard.

  • ITunes 7.7 pauses with Fast User Switching

    As far as I can tell iTunes 7.7 now stops playing songs after I switch users. I'm using 10.4.11. Has anybody had this problem in Leopard?

  • IPod/iTunes issue with Fast User Switching

    I have Fast User Switching enabled on my iMac Core 2 Duo running 10.4.8. My daughter usually leaves her iPod connected and it is causing problems when switching to another user. Other users get the message that the connected iPod is associated with another iTunes Music Library and constantly asks if it should be erased. While nothing has happened yet, there are 4 of us using this and I think it's only a ametter of time before somebody inadvertantly blows away her iPod.
    Is there any way to disable this this?

    Let me try to elicit a more helpful response...
    One of the problems I am encountering with an iPod connected and using fast user switching is that if the iPod is syncing with one user, and I switch to another user, the second user sometimes will try to take control of the iPod and sync with the second user's library.
    Is there a way to tell Mac User's 2 account to ignore User 1's iPod?

  • HT1926 Have the same problem as many other users: tried to update iTunes on Windows 7 today; first message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 1

    I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open.  First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Generate an error when a user presses a button

    I want to be able to give the user the option of exiting the program when ever he wants. I was thinking of having a button that would generate an error. The error number must be unique because i want to read it later. Is that possible? Any help will be appreciated

    You cannot exit from a for loop until it is done. Use a while loop instead. Also, using the event structure in this case causes all kinds of exit problems. Try it and you will see what I mean. Instead, use the abort button itself. Put a case statement at the end to give the error output if the abort button was pressed. See attached vi.
