Windows 7 User Logoff Issues

- After installing iTunes on my Windows 7 box, the OS would hang when logging off any user.
- Consulting MS support, they claimed the problem was with iTunes (specifically 'bonjour?')
- After uninstalling iTunes, the problem has not recurred.
I would like to use iTunes, but not at the expense of my OS.
Please advise.

Got the exact same thing. After hanging on log off a few times, now iTunes will not start.

BSOD terminal server 2008 r2 after user logoff

Hi there,
We have a serieus problem with users that logoff on a terminal server. When a user logoff of the terminal server we'll get a bsod. Win32k.sys crashes.
Our terminal server is a Windows 2008 r2 sp1 based on VMWare 5.0. We have installed al the available updates on this Windows Server.
Any idea how to solve this problem?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Ok, I think I found the issue.
I installed JRE 7 Update 51 for 64-bit. And Chrome does not have a 64-bit for Windows.
I went back and uninstalled this JRE version and instead installed the 32-bit version and now the Chrome plugin is working.

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

One library for 2 windows user accounts

I am having and issue and I don't understand why apple made the software this way. I have itunes installed on my pc and I built a library but when I logged into my wifes account and ran itunes it was as if i was running itunes for the first time on my pc. so now there was 2 library's so made a single folder on directly on the hard drive so it comes up as c:/itunes music library and would not be directly linked to either user account and thus I would be able to turn on Auto update and it we would be able to just plug in the ipod no matter who was logged in and it would update but it does't work. anytime I select auto update feature and I just want to auto update playlists only it says it's linked to a differnt library and stuff, but it's not
why can't this work seemlessly

It was designed that way so people with vastly different tastes in music wouldn't have to sort through a bunch of music they don't like.
You can keep the actual music files in one place on the hard drive, but have different library itl files for only the music you like in each Windows user profile.
These articles might explain things a bit better
What are the iTunes library files?

CF Admin login fails (invalid pw) for Windows User other than the one used to install CF 10

I installed CF 10 on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard having logged into the server as a Windows user in the administrator group. I set up CF 10 Administrator to use a single password (the default). I can log into CF Admin when authenticating to the server with the same Windows credentials used when installing CF 10 but if I log into the server as another Windows user in the administrator group I cannot log into CF Admin; I get an Invalid Password error. I thought the whole point of the single password was so that anyone who can log into the server could log into CF Admin. It works like that for my CF 8 and CF 9 machines.

It is a new design, based on security issues that arose in previous ColdFusion versions. See, for example, Charlie Arehart's blog for more details.

How can I share my a public calendar from iCal (through iCloud) with Outlook for Windows users?

I have a public work calendar that I wish to share with colleagues in the office. No issues for those having a Mac or an iPhone, but how can I share the calendar with Outlook for Windows users?
Thanks for the help!

Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

Hello,
Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

Can the Mac connect to the PC?
Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
Has the IP changed?
Hello!
Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

Windows 8.1 Mail app and Exchange 2010 EAS partnership - "Make Windows user account an Administrator" to meet security requirements?

As the title says, I have a new Windows 8.1 based device which I'm trying to connect to my Exchange 2010 box (SP3 Update Rollup 2). I currently have my iphone set up as an EAS client with no problems. I have an EAS policy on my mailbox
with the following settings surrounding passwords :
Require Password, Require Encryption, Allow Simple Password, Time without user input - 10 minutes. Allow non-provisional devices is also checked.
The Windows 8.1 device has Bitlocker enabled, which meets the encryption requirement - I know this because the 1st time I tried this it moaned about Bitlocker needing to be enabled to meet requirements, though at that time the local user account on the Windows
8.1 device was an admin level account so it never mentioned this issue, it worked normally.
Now, while using a std user account on the Windows 8.1 device and trying to connect up via EAS, it complains that my local windows user account must be an ADMIN level account to meet the security requirements...?
Anyone encountered this?

Did anyone solve this problem? I'm also struggling with this issue.
this is still a problem. I'm just hitting it now and it's not doing much for management's love of Microsoft devices.
Evidently, it has to be an admin to set the policies on the device to match the policies on the EAS. And once set, a user can be changed back.
But this is seriously not cool. Don't the "app" folks and the enterprise folks talk to each other?

To Windows Users Considering Mac Pro

When I first was considering a mac pro ( I have just bought one a week ago - end of june 2011 )
My first few posts prior to purchasing on here were probably very defensive and pushing for reasoning.
Only after purchasing do I understand why I got the responses I did.
I dont want to say that MAC is God like.
But its close to it
So having been a windows user for so long and just switched over ( yes it did cost a lot but its worth it! )
Here is what I have found useful
1, The speed that it loads and shuts down is just **** dreamy! Its the way computers should run! ( windows is horrific compared on that ) That was always my biggest peeve with windows, it took forever loading its crap in the background
2. The quality is incredible. Really solid built, super thin! ( I actually cant stop looking at this **** notebook....)
3. Its packed with stunning applications that you would have to pay tons of money for on windows
4. I love the magnetic charger, that prevents tons of issues that regular notebooks have with the inside part becoming loose after a few years of pulling out and putting in the cable.
5. The trackpad, swipingin, clicking, tapping... **** its beautiful!
6. Their magic mouse ( i got that too ) is just magic!
7. Everything is so much more organized, streamline and cleaner ( great for business )
I am sure i will find many more things, but for now... if you are thinking of getting one and cant understand why they are so **** expensive.
There are lots of reasons why. I wont give you the speal about BMW or such as I know there are lots of great PCs out there, but it really cant be compared its in a class of its own and once you have it... well i honestly cant see myself going back
In fact... next in line is replacing my desktop ( but i may wait till next year for that )
thanks
Oh and.... sorry mac guys for yanking your chain and thanks for being patient with me previously
As they say once you have mac... you wont go back!

Actually, they're not so expensive, considered from the standpoint of value. I purchased new computers, but the old ones - one of which I've kept close tabs on since its OS9 days - still work fine. There are a few excellent Windows laptops, true, but every time a friend has used one, he says it died after three or four years.
Unibody construction and the '09 trackpad changed it for me, and maybe Spotlight.

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2. I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop. She could not view the document through email. Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list. I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
Other notes:
If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.

You're on to something KJ! Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro. I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead. I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't. Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2:
When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
(Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

Sorry, this is a user to user forum and we're just customers who help out when we can, so things don't always happen right away.
Reader, Regardless of OS or device, is as the name implies, only a Reader. There are different mail settings between Mac Mail Outlook and Thunderbird as well as Andsroid's mail app, whose name escpoaes me.
Have you checked in the Live Cycle Forum? There are people there with FAR more experience using LC developed forms. It's part of my Creative Suite, but I've never even opened it myself.

MacBookPro - Suddenly can't connect to Cisco WAP while Windows Users Can

Hi,
My partner and I, both consulants, use MBP's. At one of our client's sites, our MBP's suddenly stopped being able to connect to the wireless network there. We believe this started happening shortly after installing a regular security update last February.
The odd thing is, we can go to another building where there is another access point, same make and model, same SSID, which we can connect to with no problem.
Meanwhile, since we are the only Mac users, and are mere consultants, the local IT guys don't bother to check it out.
We get the "There was an error joining the Airport network "<network name>" error message. We have double checked and know we have the right WEP keys. I don't remember off hand the strength of the WEP, but it's pretty simple and straight forward, and must be the same as the other WAP since all the Windows users can go between locations without having to reconfigure.
I've been to the genius bar, and they haven't seen any reference to this any where in the KB or on any of the forums.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
-ktb

My partner called Apple Support today after downloading a security update he hoped would address the problem (but to no avail). He managed to reach someone who knew something about the problem.
The support staffer indicated that there was a known issue connecting with some Linksys WAPs (and since Cisco now owns Linksys, they are probably using the same chip sets in some products). Even though the staffer acknowledged that the problem was caused by a security update, and thus was a software problem (confirmed by the fact that we can connect when we boot windows in Boot Camp and are able to connect), they said there was nothing they could do - not even offer a way to downrev our airport firmware.
This is the kind of support I expect from the Evil Empire in Redmond, not Steve and company. Feh - success breeds contempt.

Mac user locks files for Windows users on NFS shares

Hi Everyone,
We run a mostly Windows environment here at my school and have two AD servers which also do our file shares for AD users. Every user has a network drive mapped to L on Windows, and this is mounted on the dock of our Mac users (all Macs are bound to the AD for auth and the OD for management). We also have shared folders for different groups of people, such as admissions or art (where the issue is). Most of these divisions are only Windows, so file sharing isn't and issue - but this is not the case in our Art department.
We have a shared folder (T on Windows) setup for users of the Art department with mostly Office docs in it. Windows users can write to the share just fine, just as the Mac users can. The issue comes up once a Mac user edits and saves the file (all to the share) - Windows users are now locked out of the file because the permissions are reset. What can we do to fix this issue? It's obnoxious having to go and reset the permissions after every edit from a Mac user.
Thanks,
-MRCUR

We also have that same problem. We don't actually solved the issue but we what we do did is just unlock the files once and even they are edited or opened in windows or mac, it does not lock the file. We use windows pc and connect to the drives and just simply right clicking the file then properties a button will show in the properties window saying "unlock". After we did that, those files was never locked out again.
