Mac Osx Don See The App For All Users

Posted : admin | On 26-04-2021

Oct 30, 2017 One of my Macs was doing something strange recently. A new account that was created (using Windows Migration Assistant) would sometimes not show up on the login screen. I noticed this happened only after a restart. All other accounts would be there on the login screen except this new account. However, after logging in as one of the other users and logging out, the new account would. #1 DJ Software for Mac and Windows The complete DJ software for all DJs.

If you don't see any apps here, it's because you have none that perform the selected service's function.

There's no reason to wait for the other updates when you're not staying in Snow Leopard anyway. 10.6.8 will put the App Store on the drive, which is the main reason for applying that particular update. Go to this page. Scroll down to the Get OS X.

Use the setting in the log out or restart dialog

When you log out of your Mac or restart it, deselect ”Reopen windows when logging back in” when prompted.

Or start up in safe mode, then restart normally. This doesn't change the setting, but your Mac forgets any windows that were open the last time you logged out or restarted.

If you deselect this setting and an app continues to open automatically:

The app might be a login item. You can add or remove login items in Users & Groups preferences.
The app might have installed its own startup software. Often this is controlled by a setting within the app. Check the app's preferences or documentation, or contact the app's developer.

Use the setting in General preferences

To prevent apps from remembering the windows they had open, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click General, then select ”Close windows when quitting an app.”

Or press and hold the Shift key while opening an app. This doesn't change the setting, but the app forgets any windows that were open the last time you quit the app.

If these steps don't work for an app, the app might have its own setting for reopening windows. Check the app's preferences or documentation, or contact the app's developer.

I have some apps installed under the admin account on my Mac. I set up standard user accounts on this machine, and I would like these users to access the already installed applications. When they run the app, it either opens in trial mode or asks for a serial number, even though they are already installed. Is there any way to do this?

Have you tried adding your Apple ID to the App Store for those users?
If you're unwilling to do that, then you'll probably have to buy the applications again for each user. Welcome to Apple's walled garden, we hope you enjoy your stay!

Some of these apps are not bought from the App Store.

Which apps specifically are you using? There are a variety of different licensing and registration schemes out there, other than the Apple App Store, and they all may be subtly different. You may want to contact the authors of the apps directly.

For example JMP or Scrivener

Although some more reading has turned up conflicting answers. Humph. Maybe it depends on the licensing of specific Apps?
If the programs are not bought from the App store, where are they installed? If you installed them into the user's Applications directory (my Mac is at work right now, so I can't check, but doesn't each user have their own as well as the system one?) then that's presumably why the other users can't see the Applications. You could either reinstall for each user, or else install them into the system Applications directory.

For most ordinary applications, copying the App from the user Applications directory to the system one will just work (tm) I think.

They are installed in the Admin user's Application directory. I remember some apps asked me if I was installing for one user or all users, and I foolishly said one user, so I was wondering if there's any way around this without having to reinstall a bunch of software.
That might be (part/all of) your problem, right there. User-specific application directories exist specifically to install software only for that user - if you want everyone to have access to something, you want it in the root /Applications directory.

In the past I have found that some apps keep their registration keys in the preferences or application support folders. So, if just moving the application to the system application folder doesn't make the 'unregistered' messages go away you could try copying any related preference folders as well.

Building on what Quinbus Felstrin said, look in ~/Library and its subdirectories for stuff related to the apps in question. Try moving it to /Library.
Or maybe just try scrapping the apps and reinstalling...

You can make the non admin accounts admins, log in as those users, set the correct registration numbers then log out and remove admin rights. Once registration info is entered, it should stick.
Though technically, you shouldn't have to make them admins to do that.

Seconding what Qinbus Flestrin is saying. If the other users can see the applications, and open them in trial mode, there's nothing wrong with where the application is stored on disk. It also doesn't matter whether the other users are admins or not.
The problem is that the apps store their registration info per-user. It's possible the apps have an option to store the info globally. Otherwise, you'll have to enter the registration info for each user, or at least copy over files containing that info. I'd recommend contacting the vendors and asking for advice.

Ok I tried putting in the preferences files in the user accounts, but the app refused to run, it needed an activation. I guess I will have to re-install, or contact the vendors. Thanks everyone.
