Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
hi all,
running os x 10.9.4, my default admin user account cannot open several apps (for this specific question i'll use room eq wizarz as an example). however, when i log out, and log in as another user (which also has admin privilages) the app opens and runs perfectly fine...
there are several other apps with which i'm haing the same issue...
any ideas?
thanks in advance.
There is a main Applications folder at the root level and an Applications folder in each User's folder.
Macintosh HD Root folders
Applications <--
Library
System
Users
If the app is installed in the root Applications folder all users can use the app.
If the app is installed in the User's Applications folder only that User can use the app.
Easy to fix, drag the app from User's Applications to the root Applications folder.
thanks for the quick response 🙂
i tried what you suggested but stil doesn't work 😕
also tried repairing the permissions, made no difference...
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

thanks a lot, here's what the console log says:

this last line repeats for a few dozen times
First, launch the application as the user who downloaded it by right-clicking its icon and selecting Open from the contextual menu. Open the Info window and make sure Everyone has access. Then install it in the Applications folder as usual.
This solved my problem, many thanks 🙂
Default admin user can't open apps which other user can
