Volume good on my admin account. When switch to other accounts no volume. What to do?

Volume & sound are good on my Admin account on my iMac. When switching to others account on my iMac no sound at all!

Un-install using the developer’s instructions to make sure you remove all parts of the application. Some people recommend not installing an application unless you know how to remove it.
Cuda has caused some people problems. Try un-installing it and test.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Blackberry Hub slow when switching from any account to an Exchange Activesync account

    I'm experiencing a very slow hub when switching from any account (facebook, LinkedIn, Whatsapp, Gmail, etc...) TO my work email using Exchange Activesync. When switching back from Exchange Activesync TO any other account the issue is noy there. It basically takes a couple of minutes to enter the Exchange Activesync acocunt, and looking at the Device Monitor, CPU section, seems like the Hub process is constantly at 50% CPU usage during this time. This is really causing me lots of issues, as of course I switch between accounts quite frequently. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks for the support!

    I'm having the same issue.  What can be causing it.
    It was fine using a Z30 until 10.3.1.1865 was recently updated.
    Switching between all other accounts is fine just when going to my exchange account (or the main hub view)

    All fixed! It was TeamViewer that was causing the problem.

  • Admin user can't administer other accounts

    I somehow did something on my iMac when I was playing around with the account settings and I activated parental controls. Even though I am logged on as the admin user, I am not able to administer either the parental control permissions for the guest account or the other standard account on my iMac. When I am in account settings those two other accounts are completely grayed out, as are the + and - so that I can't even add a new account or delete any of the existing ones.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Ah! The missing information. I have a suspicion that your account's reverted to a standard one, thereby disabling your ability to administer things. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1278 for starters.

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • HT1277 I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem

    hello. I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem. I had contacted mail provider - we had followed step by step all the settings,, they are correct, and I was suggested to use another mail program. Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?

    it says - IMAP - Trying to log into this IMAP account is failed - Verify that username and password are correct
    same for SMTP

    i have four accounts on my mail application. but whenever i send a mail from one account, it goes through other account.

    Look at Mail / Accounts, then choose the Account icon. See if the Outgoing server box is set to the correct entry for each of your accounts.

  • Airport issue on admin account but works on other accounts

    I have a Macbook Pro unibody and when I wake from sleep it doesnt find airport network. I have a Time Capsule with latest firmware.
    PLEASE NOTE - this only happens on my admin account but all other accounts on the MBP it finds it perfect upon waking. I am at a lost on what to do since I have moved the service to the top, deleted preference and removed the airport from network and added it back. Please give me help.

    Here are 3 fixes that have worked for others.
    1. Adding a new location has worked for some.
    Go System Preferences > Network > Location.
    Edit location (whatever name you want).
    Click + and then click done.
    2. And, here is another possibility that has worked for others.
    Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop.
    Restart.
    3. Variation on a theme.
    Go Finder > Your HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration.
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to your Desktop.
    Go System Preferences > Network > Delete all locations, and use Automatic.
    Restart.
    You may have to reconnect to your wireless network if applicable. And, you may need to go System Preferences > Sharing and re-enter your computer's name. Check what name is given in sharing before following my instructions. If problems develop, then your can move the original folder back where it started—overwriting any folder recreated.

  • SL:How do I give the Admin account premissions to access other accounts?

    How do I give the Admin account the permissions needed to read and write the folders desired in the other account(s)?

    I have a MacPro running Tiger and for whatever reason when I am logged into the machine with my user account which has Admin privilages I can open/drag and drop etc. from my desktop to my wife's account ( which I set up as limited with parental restriction to only what she needs to access and use.)
    a parental controlled account for your wife. you must have an interesting relationship...
    I am setting up a Mac Mini running SL for my 90 year old in-laws and it was my intention to give them a STANDARD user account so that they can not download and install anything nasty which they did all the time on the Windoze machine the Mini is replacing. I have set up an Admin account on the machine so I can install stuff and perform maintenance functions VIA VNC connection from San Dieg to them in NYC... But I was surprised when I could not access any folders on their account... specifically their desktop where I tried to drop a file.
    Not sure why it's no biggie on Tiger but Leopard's throwing a fit. Any ideas?
    this is quite normal and is the default in all versions of OS X. a user has write access too their own home directory but not to any other users home directories. being an admin user does not change that. as an admin user you can give yourself write writes to it as discussed earlier but that won't happen by default. the best thing to do in the situation you describe is to log in as your in-laws once you vnc into their computer. then you can copy what you need to the desktop. it's of course possible to do it from the admin account by giving it write access to their desktop as you were intending but that will give you extra problems later because their users won't have write privileges to anything you copy that way.

  • How can I transfer "notes" from one icloud account to another, and other account questions

    Hey,
    I currently have 2 icloud accounts. (In total I have 4 seperate apple ids somehow, 1 @me.com, 1 @icloud.com, 1 @gmail.com, and 1 apple id. But that's a problem I'll talk about later).
    Right now, all of my notes got deleted from my iphone, but they are on the icloud account A: (@me.com account's icloud.) When I reconnect this account to my iphone, the notes are there. However, when I turn off note syncing in my iphone's icloud settings, I'm not prompted to "keep data on iphone" (like I am prompted with contacts). Instead, they are just deleted from the iphone. So there's no way to connect the icloud account A, download the data, and reconnect icloud account B.
    How can I get these notes from icloud account A to icloud account B (or just getting it from icloud account A to my iphone.)
    And while I'm at it, how can I get the @icloud account that was linked with the @me.com account to get linked to the @gmail.com account.
    Sorry if this is confusing.

    Let me rephrase my comment...  I used Windows to sync my data without icloud, we decided to switch to mac and purchased a $2000 osx driven machine only to find out apple has "secretly" disabled mobile sync services and replaced it with icloud syncing.  There was NO documentation stating this fact before my purchase, it was only realized when users started running into syncing issues that apple disclosed mavericks no longers uses mobile syncing services and "requires you to use icloud to sync device information" on this forum.
    They removed a integral part of my privacy without telling me, or warning me, before i spent money on non-refundable merchandice.
    These are not mindless, I was forced into mavericks when i purchased a new mac... All other versions of OSX provide modile syncing services.
    And I was not threatening lawsuit, i was stating a thought that this leavs apple open to a lawsuit for people who want their data kept private, they are FORCING the use of icloud now.

  • How to I get rid of a misspelt apple ID in Settings-icloud on iphone 5, when is still wants Account vertification. No password works on a misspelt Apple ID and cant delete account nor switch off Find my phone.  What to do?

    When I received my iphone and set up an Apple ID and password. I then went to seetings - icloud and made an typing error in the apple ID.  The email address is wrong, so the password wont work.   The icloud account cant do anything until I vertify the account, the account which now has the misspelt email Apple ID.
    I have just created a new Apple ID and password.  However, I cant do anything with the Setting - icloud because I cant vertify the misspelt Apple ID. 
    I have tried to delete the account but you cant unless you have the password.  There is no password for this misspelt Apple ID!!??
    So what do I do to get out I this mess?

    If you can't get the account's password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to the account's security questions ?) then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • Why is the sound quality and volume in itunes so different than when I use other media players

    This is an issue which has been vexing me for some time. I've researched it all over the web and have not found a worthwhile answer. Some other posts on these forums have asked similar questions without successful answers. But, none the less, I will try...
    I have spent a lot of time over the last two years trying to get my itunes library organized as well as getting good digitized versions from my vinyl records as well as CDs. I was pleased with my results and then I added the songs to itunes. I could not believe how inconsistent the sound quality was. Invariably the volume is always lower. [Please do not post a reply such as: Check the volume controls in itunes proper as well as in itunes preferences (i.e., Sound Check, Sound Enhancer) & the Volume Adjustment in the Information pane under Options for particular songs.] I tried all of those means of adjusting volume. They do NOT work.
    There is something more insidious at work in itunes which prevent good sound reproduction. I will give an example. I have played Frankie Valle and the Four Season's song "C'Mon Marianne" on the OS X system sound (i.e. clicking the play button to the song file when selected on the desktop or wherever it resides) as well as in Amadeus Pro. The song sounds great. When I play it when it's in the itunes' library the first part of the song is too lound and then when Frankie Valle starts singing his voice is at a significantly reduced volume.
    I have edited the foregoing song in Amadeus Pro to a very high volume (i.e., Effects>Amplify), reloaded it into itunes and it still does not inprove the volume of Frankie's voice in the song, even though the rest of the song is somewhat louder. I have played with the Equalizer in itunes to no effect. It just does not work.
    Now, I would glading move away from itunes and use another media player. However, I have other Apple devices through which I listen to music. And the only way I know of to listen,e.g., on the iphone is through itunes.
    The other related problem with itune, or should I say iCloud, is icloud match. The icloud Match has taken great sounding music and given me back music of an inferior quality, even though it is a Matched AAC format.
    I'm am sorry if I am a little peeved about this issue. If anyone has some suggestions or input to a solution, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks a bunch.

    fbuerg,
