When I log in with another user my wallpaper disappear

Hi, I had this problem with mountain lion and still have it with mavericks
I have three user accounts in my mac mini, one for each person in the family.
When we switch between one user to another the wallpapers disappear showing only a solid background.
It's very annoying to select a wallpaper everytime we log into our account.
I'd appretiate if somebody can help me to fix this.
Regards, and Happy New Year!

I know of one other topic similar to this. I'm not sure if it was solved.
When things like that revert back to the wrong settings, it is usually that the system cannot write to the preference list file, or in this case, the database.
On the other topic, they tried deleting the desktop database and the desktop.plist, but I don't think it helped.
If you are seeing this across the board for all users, it has to be something else interfering.
Please try booting into Safe Mode and try changing desktop pictures, then switch users.
Some things do not work in Safe Mode, and it might appear sluggish.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
If it works in Safe Mode, it is third-party software interfering.
FYI:
The database is in your user/Library/Application Support/Dock folder: desktop.db
The preference list is in your user/Library/Preferences folder: com.apple.desktop.plist

Application won`t start - starts when logged in as another user

An application created by Unity doesn`t start. When I double click (or right mouse click and choose `open`) nothing happens. However, when I log in as another user, or when I try to run the same program from a flash drive, it works. I tried a lot, including repairing permissions, but nothing helped.
Thanks in advance !

Try logging into your user while holding down the shift key on your keyboard, to supress any startup items that may be interfering with your program.
If that does not do it, look for a preference file in you user folder by choosing the Go menu from the Finder and selecting Go to Folder and enter ~/Library/Preferences and checking for files having to do with your application. If there are any, move them to your desktop and try again.
If that does not fix it, move them back, replacing the new ones that will be built. Also, if your program uses any data files or libraries when started up, try removing those. Again, if not fixed, put them back.

Over the years I have had many ISP and email addresses - but now we have finally gone almost fully virtual...
I have a live login and MS ID 4 my SkyDrive account but I only use my MS touch with 8.1, SkyDrive and office 365 for mobility.
And I still like to backup to my own server!!!
What would be good is if I can put all the software licenses and product keys of the software and keep a record of my mac addresses for hardware and even static IP's in a file or a secure location within the MS online store.
That's where MS wants me to get my computing needs from in future and I will always be able to retrieve it in future but what about the $$$$$ I have spent on software, hardware and applications prior to now???
I know u guys love 2 collect data 4 marketing analysis,
4 example I have an old PC that is still running a server from last century - if you knew about it a simple script would allow you to offer upgrades or at least relevant MS products - UNLIKE the rubbish adds I just turn off or tune out
now...
Why cant I add products previous online email purchases into the 1 MS live ID account where I can keep it together? If you make that available I don't have to have separate steam accounts, EA game accounts, ASUS and adobe accounts etc
etc.
What has brought me 2 this is I was looking for my office pro 2007 disks to rebuild a HOME USE ONLY windows 7 laptop (NO touch screen so 8.1 is no benefit at all)

That's crap - This is a clean brand spanker install of Win7 and there was nothing b4 I put the oem drivers from Toshiba back on.
I looked at dozens of support pages and forum blogs and tried for hours to get a copy to download - including incognito and other logins but because my default PC name is also my MS Windows live ID the same error was repeated.
I keep away from the non MS sites for these things and with good reason - there were heaps of similar users with the same issue or very close to it that had downloaded from a supposed MS copy from eValue or digital river etc and the next
thing was total corruption of the OS.
EVENTUALLY I found a LIVE MS chat on a support site in the US and she gave me a link to a slightly older version which will need updating and some reg edit changes but so far, so good.
The point is - what a crock !
I should be able to just keep all my software, drivers, updates, service packs, and versions that I have upgraded in the MS store.
If Microsoft aren't going to support XP or Office 2003 and eventually 2007, vista & Windows7 not far behind??? then that's still no excuse for them to put these restrictions and limits when I OWN my copy of the software!!
Unlike office 365 and SkyDrive space which is described in the T&C (that we all read before ticking that radial button to agree of course) as ONLY under a leased licence.
IF Microsoft can support AND develop software that supports SQL2000 Servers, why is it so hard to archive and keep the same info for everyone???

Impdp work with system but doesn't work with another user

Hi,
We have troubles with import of transportable tablespace, when i try to import it with system the import is done currectly, when i try to use another user we receive this message :
impdp bmcese/***** directory=TTS_DIR dumpfile=RMCCO_RMC_ANA_STS_ABB_CO121001.dmp TRANSPORT_DATAFILES=/data/TTS/RMCCO_RMC_ANA_STS_ABB_CO121001.dbf logfile=tts_imp_proc.log
ORA-31626: il job non esiste
ORA-31633: impossibile creare la tabella principale "BMCESE.SYS_IMPORT_TRANSPORTABLE_05"
ORA-06512: a "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 95
ORA-06512: a "SYS.KUPV$FT", line 1020
ORA-00959: tablespace 'RMCCO_RMC_UTZ_PP080531' inesistente
this happens only on development server and it work into test server, so i don't think that the problem is in grants(i controlled that are the same and i have tried with DBA grant too and we received the error).
Another strange thing is that tablespace 'RMCCO_RMC_UTZ_PP080531' is not included into the dump that i try to import and it doesn't exist in the database.
Thx
Edited by: user11272630 on 10-ott-2012 8.40

I've extraced the role/privs granted to BMCESE using this query
select granted_role from DBA_ROLE_PRIVS where grantee='BMCESE'
union
select privilege from DBA_SYS_PRIVS where grantee='BMCESE';
Result on Server where the impdp doesn't work:
GRANTED_ROLE
CONNECT
CREATE ANY TABLE
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE SESSION
CREATE TABLE
CREATE TABLESPACE
CREATE TRIGGER
CREATE VIEW
DATAPUMP_IMP_FULL_DATABASE
DROP TABLESPACE
EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
EXPORT FULL DATABASE
IMPORT FULL DATABASE

QUERY REWRITE
RESOURCE
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
results on server where the impdp work:
GRANTED_ROLE
CONNECT
CREATE PROCEDURE
EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
IMP_FULL_DATABASE
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
BMCESE has more grant and privs on the server where the impdp doesn't work.
I've controlled the grant of read, write on the directory.
I've tried to give DBA priv too to the user.
So i don't think in a priv problem, i think that the problem is in the unexistent tablespace reported in the error.
Someone has another suggest to give.
Thx

Run Opmnctl with another user

Hello all,
Can i run opmnctl command with another user that have the same groups of the oracle user?
Thanks for attention.

Depending on what command you are running it might work (e.g. status) but you will run into issues (known and unknown) for most of the commands (start/stop) unless you know and tweak all directories/files permissions.
As an example, OPMN maintains a file under directory called "states" (under $OH/opmn/logs directory) that gets auto generated/updated every time either OPMN or managed process(es) is started or stopped. The default permissions on this directory is 700 which means can only be operated on by owner (the user that installed the product).
Along with directories/files permissions there is process ownership issue too. When a component is started its corresponding process(es) is owned by the user who owns the OPMN server process. If a different user (different than who actually started OPMN server) starts one of the managed process it might collide and might lead into some unknown issues.
So to be safe and being in "supported" mode it is always recommended to use the same OS user that was used to install the product.
Thanks

Start Database Service with another user

Hi Everyone ,
i've a little problem with the Oracle 10 Console Service on a W2K3 server.
I want to start that Service with another user as "Local System"
I created a local user that is member in the "ORA_DBA" group and in the local Admin Group. But the Service won't start. When i start the service with the "local system" account it starts.
Is there another possibility to start the service this way or where is my error ?
Greetz Byte

Hi
I searched metalink and came across a note that mentioned following actions. I hope it works in your situation.
1. Launch locally on the windows host the Local Security Policy tool
2. For the domain user or local user starting the Management Agent service
Give the following Advanced Privileges
- Log on as a batch job
- Act as part of the operating system.
- Adjust memory quotas for a process
or (for windows 2000 and Windows NT)
- Increase memory quotas"
- Replace a process level token.
3. Ensure that the same local user or domain user starts all the other Oracle Windows services monitored by the Management Agent
The same fix must be applied for the standalone dbconsole service on windows.

My icloud activation lock is ON my iphone, which requires an activation login to access the homescreen, but when i log in with the apple ID on the phone, it says the apple ID is not meant to unclock this iphone 5 ios 8.0.2. please help me solve this.

My icloud activation lock is on my iphone, which requires an activation login to access the homescreen, but when i log in with the apple ID on the phone, it says the apple ID is not meant to unclock this iphone 5 ios 8.0.2. please help me solve this.

Yes the phone belongs to me. It was purchased from United Kingdom Vodafone to West Africa, i had to factory unlock to use any sim in it. so it belongs to me. I did the activation myself, now after updating my iphone to the latest update, it required a user id and password to activate the phone, but anytime i enter the details, it tells me the user Id is not correct but the password is correct..

Can I share an Account with another user?

I am a current Thunderbird user, as are my coworkers. One of my coworkers is getting bogged down with emails he shouldn't waste time on.
What I need is a way for me to access his email and filter out junk mail and emails he shouldn't be concerned with. So he would need to see any emails I have flagged or starred indicating they need his attention when he opens his email.
In addition to this, my coworker will also need to be able to access and read emails offline. Ideally he would be able to access his email while on a plane and see the flagged emails here as well. Then once he is able to access the internet again, it would be best if he and I would be able to see the updates that he made while offline.
Ultimately, I need to know if I can continue to use Thunderbird and tag team an email account(s) with another user.

There's nothing to stop you both setting up the same account, though there's a risk the server won't let you both use it concurrently.
You'll both need to use IMAP if your colleague is to be able to see the results of your activities.
An alternative is for you to assume total ownership of the colleague's account, do your triage and then send on approved messages to a new account set up for your colleague purely for this arrangement. Mail Redirect would allow you to pass messages to your colleague which would appear to have come directly from the original sender, whereas regular email forwarding loses the provenance.

ITunes settings reset with every new version, and I get: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account"

Windows 7 64-bit with MS Outlook 2010. I've seen this now probably 10 times. When I first installed iTunes, I selected:
Preferences -> Devices -> "Prevent iPhonse, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically".
and on my iPhone, I selected:
Info -> Sync Contacts with: Outlook.
Info -> Sync Calendars with: Outlook
Info -> Other -> Sync notes with: Outlook
This works great, and the settings stick. As soon as apple releases any new version (even minor) of iTunes and I install, I immediately receive: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account", and have to merge my calendar and contacts, but then once I get into iTunes, I find that ALL of the above settings (prevent syncing, sync calendar, contacts, notes) get reset and are turned off! I am running as a user account with Admin privaleges, but I don't right-click -> "Run as administrator" when I perform the iTunes update.
To reiterate, once I change the settings back, things work normally until the next iTunes update at which it gives me that sync error, and resets my sync options.
Any idea? Thanks!
-Brian

Is someone else using the PC and iTunes?
Create another user for the PC with your name, and try syncing that way.
This way it wont conflic with the other user.

Seeing held material document with another user I.D.

Hi Experts,
I am new to this forum. My query is - Is it possible to see a material document in the held list of MIGO screen if the document has been held up with some other user I.D. I held up a goods issue document from MIGO screen and i can see that document in held list of MIGO screen with same user I.D. But when i am entering MIGO with another user I.D. this document is not showing up in the held list. How can i see it in held data list of the MIGO screen with the second user I.D. ?

Cannot connect to video with another user

I recently updated my operating system to Snow Leopard, so I have iChat version 5.0.3 and I can't seem to video chat with another user who still has Tiger with iChat version 3.1.9. We have no problems chatting, but the video chat will not work.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Many possible suggestions from here.
In System Preferences > Security > Firewall tab is the Firewall On ?
If it is go to the Advanced Button.
In here is Allow Signed Apps selected and iChat in the list ?
(I am expecting you to confirm it is Off or iChat is listed with Allow Signed Apps selected as you can Video with a Text account)
In iChat > Preferences > Video/Audio section change the Bandwidth Limit drop down to read 500kbps.
Your Buddy on iChat 3 should go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab and check this is set to 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN
This is needed to get the best speed out of his Connection.
You setting the 500kbps should stop/slow down iChat 5 from expecting a response too quickly and will also smooth out any variances in your Connection Speed.
There is no Quicktime Setting in Snow Leopard to limit iChat.
I presume you update to Snow Leopard from Leopard and that your Router is already set up for iChat ?
Ideally the ports iChat needs should be opened with UPnP as it allows iChat Screen Sharing to other iChat 4 and 5 users.
You will be getting Logs of the failed chats.
The Pop up can be opened at the reveal Triangle on the left near the word Details.
Old ones are stored in your Home Folder/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors
It would be interesting to see the last one (Less the bits below the line that reads Binary Images for iChat
In the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) there is a new option for Network Status which will give some clues about how your router does NAT.
The Log should also give details about your end and the Buddies device (If it gets that far)
The Test Accounts use Public IPs (no router involved) and don't therefore use NAT which gets around some of these issues. (Effectively it is only a partial test about your Set up)
8:45 PM Monday; October 4, 2010
Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"

Created help file either won't open or opens blank when emailed or copied for another user to see it.
Our HR person made a help file she wants to email to someone or copy to a network share.
-If she emails it the other person cannot open it.
-If she copies it even from her desktop where she saved it to the folder with all the other files, it opens blank.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think they must be swapping out .html for .chm in DW or something. What the OP describes sure sounds like what happens when you do that.
@dfiore27101
DW doesn't support .chm file types. Adding the extension doesn't compress the images into the file to create a true .chm.
Adding .chm will make a perfectly good .html file stop displaying in DW though.
An easier way to send someone .html help files would be to archive their folder as a .zip then email the .zip. The recipient would then need to extract the archive to view the files in their browser.
I don't know of any way to create real .chm files in DW.

How are you verifying it? Are you responding to the email that is sent? If not, do so.
If so, then try changing your password.
