Hey all,
I have created a new user (admin) account on my iMac running 10.5.8 and have encountered several problems for which all my troubleshooting has failed.
First, I cannot rename files in this user account ONLY. I have repaired permissions, repaired disk from the startup disk, trashed the preference com.apple.finder (or something like that), logged in and logged out, and created another user account. When I attempt to get info, the screen flashes and the utilities and preferences folders pop open and the get info does not open.
I am not sure if the itunes issue is related or not. I reinstalled itunes when it did not open within this user account. It did not open in the new user account either - despite working fine in the other two accounts. It opens now, but I cannot type in the search box in the top right nor change titles of playlists. Here, at least, the word untitled is replaced by the cursor, but I cannot type at all. Clearly I can type in boxes as I am now.
Any help would be appreciated. I posted in Apple discussion and got no hits.
