  • CS6 inDesign crashing on the opening, works on the different user account, help?

    Hello!

    I use InDesign everyday, had my Macbook since September and have had no problems with the opening of the program at all until about 2 weeks ago. It appears with the graphics of opening with all the license information, and 5 seconds later, a window opens saying "InDesign quit unexpectedly", as well as loads of text on the threads, frames and the rest. (A copy of the text is available to InDesign Crash Info - Pastebin.com , in case where anyone can somehow choose something from that!)

    I tried to reset all my preferences and reinstall all of the CS6. I also had a problem with the fonts in the past, so I have deleted all my additional fonts and just now the default fonts library. The only way I could make it work is by setting up a different user account, and now it opens properly, but only when using this account. It's just a pain the * having to keep switching between user accounts all the time! I didn't know if there would be a quick solution to this, rather than having to transfer all my files, preferences etc. from one account to another and basically a new account from scratch.

    Any help would be great appreciated.

    Thank you

    According to the accident report, you must always update InDesign to the latest patch (8.0.2 for a perpetual license, 8.1 for the subscription).

    If that alone is not enough, delete or rename the files of two preference from your old account (see replace your preferences for where to find them) and copy the same folders on the new account.

  • With XP, with is three different user accounts, possible to download Firefox 4 for a single user and keep Firefox 3 on the other, for a period of learning?

    We are running XP and have 3 different user desktop accounts. We are very excited about the features of Firefox4, but one user a lot less comfortable with changes and does not want to lose the comfort of navigation in 3 until it had a chance to get used to using 4. May take a while...

    Is it possible to download Firefox 4, perhaps to a new location. Or a new user account. And use that as a "teaching tool" while maintaining the 3?

    Or can we move on 4, re-download a version 3 and import previous bookmarks for this user to new 3 download, until we him uncomfortable.

    The answer is probably not. But if there is a creative way to do that, without another available computer, that would be great. Otherwise, improve us and deal with the frustration and whining here... 4 is too good to pass up.

    Ideas?
    Linda

    When you install Firefox 4, choose the custom installation option and change the install location of Firefox. You'll then 2 versions of Firefox are installed.

    As you have different user accounts, each user will have its own Firefox profile (location where are stored bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You should not pass between the different versions of Firefox with the same user profile. For those who want to use Firefox 4, make sure that you use a Firefox shortcut that opens Firefox 4, even for one who wants to stay with Firefox 3, just keep their shortened origin of Firefox and it should open the old version.

  • User account now points to a different user account files

    Several users have in our household have accounts on a laptop.  One of the accounts mysteriously began to point to a different user account files.  All other user accounts seem to work normally.

    UAC is not running on the machine.  The user account with the problem and that to which it points now have administrator privileges.  Windows Update is active.  The 2 latest updates prior to the issuance have been updated to Windows defender.

    How to restore this user account to the way it was?

    Hey Super,

    It is possible that the location of each of the user data folder are changed to the other user account.

    First check if the user account folders do not exist in the C:\drive\users and then continue with the steps below.

    You will need to each user account folder redirected to its original location and check if it works.

    1 right click on the folder that you want to restore to its original location, and then click Properties.
    2. click on the location tab, click restore default, and then click OK.

    You will need to do this for each individual user account folder that points to the other user account folders.

    If the previous step fails while the user account may be damaged, you will need to check if the problem persists in a new user account and later to fix a corrupted user account.

  • How to transfer files from a user account to a different account on windows 7?

    I use windows 7, both of my user accounts are administrator accounts.
    How do I move my files from one account to the other?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    An ADMINISTRATOR account can access all folders and files on the computer.

    Use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Users account you
    want-click right on the folders (or files) and COPY - go to another account
    and PASTE it where you want. Repeat if necessary. Do not delete the folders and
    files from the account, they are forward to be sure they are duplicated when you need
    them.

  • Migration of PC now I have two user accounts.  How can I transfer everything to a user account

    I've migrated from PC to iMac, and now I have two user accounts.  How can I just well mover a user account and then delete the second user account.

    A user account is one that you created in the Setup Wizard when you have got a Mac. The second he the user account you migrated your PC. If you used the same username for both, then you can simply copy the files from one to the other. If the user names are different, then see: transfer of files from one user to another account.

  • Combining programs, files, folders, etc from two user accounts has a handset (i.e. administrative)

    Hello

    When I transferred files and folders, etc from my old computer to my new one, it divided them in two user accounts, which is the administrator (apparently I got the documents under two users on my old computer but didn't). The problem is now I have to go back between the two accounts to show different things. I would like to know if there is a way to combine everything that the two user accounts into one, preferably the administrator account. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    1 from your ADMIN account making another account with the same password - give him ADMIN -.
    It's your safety valve and test and difficulty. Always keep a handy unused Admin account.

    Now, from your ADMIN account, you can access the user folders in the other USER account.
    Use start - computer or Windows Explorer to access your USER account - then copy the
    the data of its foldes in the same folders on your ADMIN account work (only data - not)
    programs). Do not copy on the data files of your ADMIN account USER account
    something similar as Document there are files with the same names, yet who have different
    content - if existing ones rename the files in the files of the USER before completing the copy.

    C:\USERS\YourUserAccount\Documents\ copy

    C:\USERS\YourAdminAccount\Documents\

    Be careful to not to overwrite files with the same name (copy will warn you).

    Repeat with the other data files.

    The process is similar to migrating from a damaged account - just pretend for the USER account
    is corrupted and migrate towards your work account ADMIN as here:

  • How to: same excel file, same computer, different user accounts.

    I'm trying to access a single Excel file from the accounts of different users on the same computer.  I tried to share the Excel file, no luck.  I studied with a group residential, but which seems to be for different computers on a network home.  It comes from the same computer, the same Excel file with multiple user access.  Help

    Thanks for your help.  I tried to implement your suggestion, and most of the time, it worked.

    I followed the path OS (C> users > Public > Public Documents and was able to copy the document it.)

    I have it pinned to the taskbar and managed to get it back and make & save changes.

    When I copied it initially the path mentioned previously it had an identical copy in the following path: > libraries > Documents > Public Documents.

    Unfortunately, when I used the button "Save" it would save the file to the location of a second, but the pinned file would go to the original OS (C... way, then recover the original unedited version.)  It took me a while to understand this.

    If I do something wrong and you have any other advice, I'd appreciate it.  But, for now, this issue has been resolved and I will so indicate.

    Thank you once again

    As long as you are in possession of the admin password, you can install, Uninstall, change settings etc, in a standard user account (limited user account).
    There is no (negative) disadvantage of doing.

  • Changed to an individual on behalf of the team.  Person by clicking on "Accept invite" in the invitation email is asked for the password to connect even if it is just to establish his account. Previous individual but with a different user account.

    Had an individual with the user ID account [email protected] (example)

    Converted to an account of the team because we need now of 2 users.

    Team has always has [email protected] as admin ID

    Under admin, sent guest 2 users.  One was the person who initially used under [email protected], but he sent a new email account for them.

    When he clicks the "ACCEPT INVITE" in the e-mail, he is prompted for credentials - auto the new adobe ID with the new email (which is good) but wants a password (which is bad because it has not yet been established).

    Eventual goal is to have an admin account Adobe ID [email protected] 2 user accounts and [email protected] and [email protected]

    It turns out that the e-mail address is already existed as an Adobe ID old back when he tried once a free trial.  We have all understood, thank you!

  • How to transfer programs from a user account to a different user account

    I want to transfer selective programs that appear in "All programs" from one user to another account

    If you mean you want an entry in the start menu > all programs to switch from one account to another on the same computer, which is easy.  If you're talking about two different computers, you are unable to do so (you will need to uninstall one and reinstall on another using the original installation media).

    WARNING: Some programs, such as Internet browsers, have "profiles" that are specific to each user.  If this is the kind of program you concerned, cannot move just the shortcut as described below.  If you are not sure, please identify what "selective programs" you want to move.

    Change the content to start > all programs on two accounts on the same computer

    It's easier if you have at least one account with "computer administrator" privileges  If you need to, you can use the built-in account named "Administrator".  The password of this account is blank (no password).  You can access the Safe Mode or - in XP Pro administrator only - from welcome with no other account connected screen by pressing twice CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

    The key to this procedure is that the entries in the menu start > all programs are simply shortcuts that point to the actual location of the application executable files.  What follows is easier to do than to in order to explain them.

    Suppose you want to move an entry of account A to account B on the same computer.

    Assume that you are connected to the account A and that is a computer administrator account.

    • Click Start, and then select open
    • Double-click the folder programs
    • Scroll down the page until you find the program you are interested in or the folder in which it is located.

    If the account is NOT a computer administrator account and you are connected to the place C account, who is an administrator (or administrator) account, replace the first stage with the following text:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu, where is the name of the account, i.e., A

    Now, open a new Windows Explorer window and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu, where is the name of the other account, that is, B.

    N-click-drag the element from the first window of Windows Explorer to another.
