Why are my system services disabled for Admin accounts?

Hi all,
I noticed that pretty much all services are disabled in my main (administrator) account. ("make new stickie note" from selection, Grab, import image, look up in dictionary, mail, font etc... Everything is a no go.
I set up a regular account as a test and they all seem to work. I just bought my mac recently and installed 160 gigs worth of documents/profedssional apps and I'm dreading having to go through all that again just so I can have a fully functional os!
Is there an easy way to copy all my settings from my admin account to another account? Or even better, is there a way to turn on all the fun services in the admin account?
Thanks for any info!

D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time. It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates. In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud? If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
#3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
#4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for? If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have. Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well. It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

Why is there a service fee for repairs n

This will be my 3rd RMA in my short period of owning a Zen Micro. When I was re emailed by creative, they said I needed to pay $25 for a service fee.
Why is there a service fee for repairs now for common problems such as the infamous earphone jack?

The tariff guide still says
Installation, Activation & Equipment Charges Activation Fee
All new BT TV customers will be charged a £35 activation fee.
Any existing BT TV customers taking a new set top box will also be charged a £35 activation fee.
Optional Engineer Install (Box service only) The charge for the engineer install option is £35. Optional Broadband Extenders (Box service only)
The charge for one set of optional Broadband Extenders is £35
So if you can't get the precise order you want online why not phone the BT customer options team and place your order that way.

Field Business Area is a required field for GL account - urgent

Hi all,

Now after configurations, those materials had to be extended on plant 3800. Material have been extended but when the stock is transfered from 3000 to 3800 via MB1B , system says "
Field Business Area is a required field for GL account ICI 2201001".
Any idea that why this error comes? I have checked every thing, cudnt sought out.
Kindly help.

Hi
When you are transferring the material from one plant to other plant using mvt type 301 or 303/305 etc.,
there is a field selection variation between the mvt type and G/L account which was triggered for this Transaction.For mvt type 301, the filed Business area is not mandatory and for G/L account 2201001 the feild is mandatory.
You can resolve this by changing one of the field selection group, i.e. either MVt type or G/L account.to do this follow the procedure.
1.Go to SE38
2.Type program RM07CUFA
3.Execute the program
4.It will ask for Mvt type nad G/L account number, give the details and execute
5.System will display the difference between the two filed selection groups.
6.From the same screen , you can change the fileds option by selecting the error log.

Why was i charged 1 dollar for creating account when it says you wont be charged until you make a purchase

It wasn't a charge, rather a "hold" to verify your account. The hold will be released in a day or so.

ISE password expiration for Admin account issue

OK .. we have been working on getting ISE up and running for a little while now and I have come across an odd and reoccurring issue with my admin accounts. I cannot figure out if there is something that we have missed in the setup or if there is and actual issue with the password policies. It seems that there is a "user" type password policy and then there is an "admin" type policy and am trying ti figure out if they are stepping on each other or something. I am running version 1.2.0.899 with patch 5,1.
Here is the issue. I have started receiving password expiration reminders for the two admin accounts I have setup on the cluster. I have my address setup for an admin user named "admin" and an admin user named "wberry" and I receive two different e-mails for both accounts. The issue that I have is the dates listed in the e-mails. This is one e-mail that I get:
The password for your local admin "wberry" is expiring on Mon Jun 01 09:43:03 CDT 2015. Please update immediately, by going to https://mem7700.spd.mli.corp/admin, signing-in, and clicking on the user name at the upper right corner.
This is the second email that I get for the same account:
Your network access password will expire on Thu Dec 03 08:43:03 CST 2015. Please contact your system administrator for assistance .
As you can see the dates in the two messages are completely different. My admin policy is set with expired 180 days after creation and last change and the reminder is set to 10 days prior to expiration. The user password policy lifetime is also 365 days if password not changed with the reminder after 355 days.
Thoughts / recommendations.

IMovieQuits on Launch... only for Admin account

Hi
Just installed iMovie 6.02... but as Admin it Quits Uexpectedly on launch (as it's loading the last project...)
I've deleted prefs, repaired permissions, etc etc.
New Admin users are fine ... as are managed users....
The crash report mentions iTues in the crashed thread report.
Thread 4 Crashed:
0 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x907be584 CFRetain + 60

I deleted all iTunes prefs (including the ones in the ByHost folder) but it didn't make any difference.
All other iLife 06 apps run fine.
Not a show stopper... but I want to know why!!!
Thanks for any thoughts
Lee

Try this:
Quit iMovie. Delete its prefs file at the admin accounts home folder at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie... (or something like that -- I'm at a Windows box right now). Then launch iMovie and rebuild its prefs as you like.

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.

Payments are going in two separate for one account

The payment for vendors in Payment Proposal (F110) are going in two separate transactions for once account.
Say for vendor 1011274 the payment amount should be 741 whereas the payment is going in two separate transactions (two payment documents) of 135 & 606.
Can you please let me know what could be the reason for this.
Rg
vk

Hi Vijay Kumar,
You are correct that for all the invoices due in one currency for a particular vendor there should be one payment but that is possible only for the invoices which are not over due.
In case of instalment payment or over due invoices for every over due invoice there has to be a separate payment. Please check if the invoices of same vendor has different due dates.
Please let me know if you still have any doubt.

SMB File Sharing only works for Admin Accounts???

I'm using a mac mini as a small file server. It will share files to WindowsPCs using SMB but there is a problem.
On the Option dialog where you select accounts to share files and folders using SMB only Admin accounts show up. This is far from ideal as I'd prefer to using Sharing Only or Standard accounts.
Is this a known issue? Is there a solution?

What permissions are you setting on the share? My guess is you are only using user, group, and other (POSIX). You need to add an ACL to the list and then set read/write or full control.
