    I have created another user on my laptop


    Hi I have added my wife as a user on my laptop, however when she tries to log into iTunes the first thing we noticed was when typing an email address the key @ does not produce that symbol, where as on my user account it works fine, in my wifes user account when you press @ a " comes up instead, I found a way to get the @ symbol and that is to press control and the number 2 key which give you the @ symbol, finally as there is clearly some kind of issue with this second user account she is unable to make purchases when logging in and when funds are clearly available in the iTunes account.

    Please help


    Regards


    Mick

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    create user fails windows 10

    Geoff,

    This is a shot in the dark.

    Several people have been reporting different problems logging in to newly created user accounts.

    • They just get a user profile service failed message instead of your symptoms.
    • Whilst their symptom is different, it occurs to me that the cause might be the same.
    • The common factor is that it affects newly-created user accounts that have never been successfully logged into.

    So, I suggest having a look at my explanations in Cannot create a new user account that can be login.

    In short -

    1 Try copying the NTUSER.DAT file from the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder of a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

    2 Try copying the whole [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group from a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

    3 Try recreating the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group using Kapil Arya's linked article.

    I have nothing other than a gut feeling to justify suggesting these steps,

    Best of luck,

    Denis

    I have created another user on my laptop

    Which laptop should I buy with budget within 1000USD?

    Really, you should be getting a list of laptops you like the look of, narrowing it down and then asking on here which is best.

    Asking people for suggestions really doesn't work well as most people only have experience with 1-2 laptops at a time.

    Searching all the shopping sites and creating a list for you is a lot of work.

    You need to do the work and we can help with the rest.
