Videos won't play in my admin account but will in the user account?

why won't some videos play in my admin account but will in the user account using Safari or FireFox?
I have a mid-year 2012 MBP w/Mt Lion OS X10.8.2, I believe all s/w is current. Have deleted cache, reset safari and just about everything I can find in the blogs.

After looking at another post (How do I remove a filetype from the Applictions Menu), I succeeded in removing m3u from my Application's Content Type in my user-account but it did not solve my problem. I still get a "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog.
Crap!!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

Maybe the parental control is activated for the guest account? Have a look in System Preferences -> Parental Control.

Account Information Not Recognized: The user account has been disabled.(FW

Hi Expert ,
I'm working with SAP Business Objects 4.0 SP2 patch 5 and SAP Enterpriseportal. I want to use Single Sign On with trusted authentication in enterprise portal. EP administrator has created an infoview in order to be able to connect the portal and BO.
I have configured trusted authentication in BO but when I try to use the infoview from the portal the following error appear:
"Account Information Not Recognized: The user account has been disabled.(FWB 00012) "
the user used in the sap portal is also defined and active in sap BO.
In order to activate SSO in BO I executed the following steps:
1. Log onto the CMC.
2. Went to the Authentication management area.
3. Select the Enterprise option. The "Enterprise" dialog box opens.
4. Scroll down until I see "Trusted Authentication".
4.a. Click Trusted Authentication is enabled.
4.b. Click New Shared Secret.
4.c. Click Download Shared Secret.
5. Selected Update to commit the shared secret.
6. Saved the trustedprincipal.conf file in the boe server in the path:
'D:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects
Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86'
7. Modified the file 'D:\Program Files (x86)\SAP
BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\default\global.properties'
sso.enabled=true
sso.sap.primary=false
trusted.auth.shared.secret=
trusted.auth.user.param=
trusted.auth.user.retrieval=REMOTE_USER
8.Restart Tomcat
Please could anyone help me to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance for collaboration.

Hi Giovanni,
The configuration you have wonu2019t work. You have two different web application servers: Netweaver and Tomcat. Your user credentials are only established in one of them: Netweaver. When you configure trusted authentication in Tomcat you have to authenticate the user in this Web Application server. The REMOTE_USER canu2019t pass from one server to another.
You can confirm this capturing your request using Fiddler in your browser.
If you want to configure the integration BI4 into SAP Enterprise portal, you can follow this guide:

Wmvs won't play in Keynote on iPad, but WILL PLAY in keynote pres embedded in iBook on iPad?!!

I have some PPT presentations I want to present from an iPad; they contain embedded video files (WMVs). I open them in Keynote on my iMac, and save them as Keynote presentations. The videos work fine on my computer. However, when I import a presentation onto my iPad, the videos won't play in Keynote. The rest of the presentation works great; just no video playback.
This wouldn't be weird except for the fact that in iBooks author, I will insert a Keynote presentation into a page of a book I made. When I play the presentation on my iPad, in iBooks, the videos work perfectly. Can anyone explain this?
The issue is that because I have an iPad 1, I have to use a VGA connector to present, meaning the Keynote-in-iBook does me no good. Projectors will only display an actual Keynote presentation coming out of an iPad (or full screen video). They won't display a Keynote when it's part of an eBook.
Ideas? If I have to convert all the WMVs to m4vs or something, and re-build my presentations, I will. But the fact that it works without any problems in iBooks gives me a glimmer of hope that there is some way to accomplish this that I'm just not seeing.... Help?

The VLC app will play WMV files. When they are encountered you typically see an offer to open them in VLC and after playing you go back to the app that tried to play the WMV file. Worth a try.

IMovie works in Test account but not in main user account

I have been having issues with iMovie such as lag time and trailers not playing back properly in preview mode. I created a new user account to see if it was isolated to my own user and sure enough the problems went away and iMovie is working smoothly.
So what could be causing the issue on my user account? I tried to usual suspects: repair permissions, delete preferences, etc., but nothing helped.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stephen

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this issue? I can't figure out why it would work on a test account but not on my main account.
Thanks!

Message (on one account) when logging in: The user account running the Configuration Manager console has insufficient permissions to read information from the Configuration Manager site database.

After installing the reportservice/database i cannot use the Configuration Manager Console 2012 anymore with my own AD account. (The accounts of my colleagues are stil working)
When i login i get the following message:
The user account running the Configuration Manager console has insufficient permissions to read information from the Configuration Manager site database. The account must belong to a security role in Configuration Manager. The account must also have
the Windows Server Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) Remote Activation permission for the computer running the Configuration Manager site server and the SMS Provider.
I checked the following:
I am a administrative user in SCCM (Full Administrator)
I am a member of the administrator group on the server
Deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10
I tried to start it on multiple workstations and deleted my roaming profile
Any more suggestions?

Printer Prints fine for Admin Account, but not for "Regular" User Account.

Printer works perfectly when signed on as Administrator, but not when we use non-admin login. I can see the printer - it says ready, but it won't print.. although job does not sit in printer queue.
I did a full driver install FROM the local account, using "Run as" - but it can't find the printer. I did a Full Driver Install from the Admin account, with no change to the non- admin account. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks .

Hi @maggie-o,
I understand you can print when printing form an admin account, but otherwise can not. I would be happy to help you with this.
If you are running Norton Antivirus, go into the Control Panel and click on Printers & Faxes, then right click on the Printer and select Properties. In the Properties, click on the Advanced tab., and set it to Print Direct to Printer instead of using the Print Spooler. I think there is something in Norton that prevents the Limited Users account from accessing the Print Spooler.
If the issue persists, please take a look at the following articles: Security permissions for printing, & To set or remove permissions for a printer.
I hope this helps.

Won't play some songs on ipod but will in itunes

This is concerning an ipod w/color (4th generation I guess)............
All of a sudden, some of the songs won't play on the iPod but they will play when I connect the iPod to itunes and the song list comes up. When I try to play the same song just on the ipod itself it skips down to the next song.
Any ideas?

i got the same problem, happened with "Now its on" and currently with "My Wife, My *****, My Girl", both by Tech N9NE. i ended up just getting now its on from limewire. i think the song for download might be faulty becuase i even deleted the song from my computer and bought it again, but to no avail. as well, i took the song off my ipod and put it on again, which also didn't work. I suggest just finding it on the internet in some other way

Adobe CC Apps wont launch on my Admin account but will on a guest account on my Macbook Pro

Hi,
My company owns an Adobe CC lisence. I've downloaded Prem Pro, AE, Photoshop and Bridge on to my brand new retine Macbook Pro running Mavericks, and none of the apps will launch properly on my main administrator account.
Prem Pro just crashes at the splash screen, Photoshop loads to a new project screen then crashes, AE says its can't load because of an error, each them a different reason.
However, I can get them to work when switching user accounts to a guest account. Both the Macbook and Adobe CC subscriptions are new, so I can't understand why it's working on one account and not another?
It's useless to me that it doesn't work on my admin account, as the laptop is both my work and personal computer, so everything is on the main admin account, a guest account is literally just for a guest to login.
Any help?
Cheers,
Phil

My iPad 2 won't play game volume or notifications but will play music, can anyone help ?

I'm having trouble with my iPad 2, it won't play volume in games or notifications but it work when I play music

You have mute turned on. Mute shuts off system sounds, and some app sounds, but has no effect on normal sounds, such as music. You can turn nute off a couple of differet ways, but the simplest is to go to settings, general, and see if the side switch is set to mute. If so, simply slide the side switch. If it is not set to mute, make it so, then slide the switch.

Word, pdf, iPhoto email, don't work on one user account but work on second user account

I have MacBook Pro running 10.7. In my main user account I've recently had major issues with several applications. Word quits on startup, pdf files quit on startup, the latest iPhoto application quits when attemping to send email with photos from iPhoto.
I set up a second user account and all the issues went away. Can anyone explain why such bugs are present in one user account by not the more recent one?
Thanks

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.
