Word 2008 crashes in original user account, but ok in new user account
I sat through 1.5 hours with a Microsoft tech uninstalling and reinstalling office 2008 just to find that when they had me create a new user, Word didn't crash like it was in my original user account. That is when they said, this is not a Word problem, it's a mac problem...
I had read that fonts may cause issues, so I used font book to resolve duplicate font problems and verify all of my fonts (including the new ones that Office installs) I also disabled all of my user fonts and only ran the system set...Word still crashed.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has seen this problem and would have any clue as to what I have in my user account that might conflict...what are key differences between an old user account and a fresh one?
Thank you.
Hi Darcie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
what are key differences between an old user account and a fresh one?
Mainly Pref files, (.plist), secondly Permissions, thirdly Login Items in the Accounts pref pane, to test if it's a login item, Safe Boot into that account, (holding Shift key down at bootup), test, then use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.

Hi, I have a Indesign user who inherited a PC with Indesign installed. Indesign works with old PC user profile but not the new user. Any ideas how I can resolve this?
Question # 1 is what do you mean by "inherited"? Is this a case where the computer belonged to someone else? Your user would not be entitled to use a program licensed to someone else.

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.

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,
StephenWondering 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!
Stephen

i have two accounts on my pc, add on gets installed on other(limited access account) but not on main administrator account in mozilla ?? help me out please..
I have Norton Internet Security, but that doesn't seem to have stopped it. And it's goofy. It won't let me lock it by clicking its lock. The lock keeps magically coming unlocked.
Also, my computer crashes more than once a week on average.
Those two facts are related.
Norton Antivirus has a very long and illustrious reputation for mangling Mac OS X systems, sometimes to the point where a complete reinstall is necessary. Among other things, it installs kernel extensions which are known to cause kernel panics and system freezes; it contains known and documented bugs which can silently corrupt Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign files, destroy a user's ability to authenticate as an administrator, and (on PPC systems) can cause Classic to stop functioning; and Symantec has on at least two occasions now released flawed .dat file updates which erroneously report certain critical Mac OS X files as "viruses." (Deleting these "viruses" causes damage to the system that in some cases renders it unbootable.)

I've already purchased iMovie 9.0.6 on my computer, but i can't upgrade it. it said there is available update on another account, but i just got one account on my computer...
Updates:
I found why the original backup file is not showing on iTunes. Becuase it is corrupted.
All other folders contains Infor.plist, Manifest.mbdb, Manifest.plist and Status plist files.
But the folder that contains origianal backup files does not have those files above.
I think the only way I can restore the data is using third party extracting software.
Do you know anything about that kind of software? -
