| Dec 2, 2012 at 1:07 | comment | added | Neil Steiner | Zo219, it appears from my answer below that ~/Library is not the culprit after all. I was only using Parental Controls because I needed to keep the Dock from changing, and I found another solution that I explain here. | |
| Dec 1, 2012 at 23:01 | comment | added | Zo219 | Not so. Haven't done this in a while, but every app will make a fresh set of preferences, you don't need the old caches and logs ... think it through, probably Application Support is fine. Containers. Mainly leaving behind Preferences - this is where is pays to keep software keys in a keychain or app. Go down the list of ~/Libary folders. Keychains, copy over, of course ... | |
| Dec 1, 2012 at 20:00 | comment | added | Neil Steiner | yes, this is a solid troubleshooting approach, but there is such a huge number of settings in ~/Library that this hardly helps. | |
| Dec 1, 2012 at 10:24 | comment | added | Zo219 | Give the new account admin privileges, copy User folders except ~/Library to new account, (which I give same password as mine) confirm it's working, Repair Permissions, Restart, log in with new account. (BTW, automatic login should be Off.) | |
| Nov 28, 2012 at 14:49 | comment | added | Neil Steiner | I created a new account, and the problem does not show up. Unfortunately, that tells me nothing about where in the myriad of preferences and settings the problem originates. | |
