I have been having a trophy problem for a couple games. I've been on one user the whole time I've had my PS3, recently though, I changed to another user for my main account. I've played some games on my new account fine like Heavy Rain, Flow, Mag, and Battlefield 1943 and I get trophies for them. I played these games on my other account also. Some games though, like Dragon Age: Origins and Fallout 3 I'm not getting trophies for. I do what I have to do to get the trophy, but it says "trophy not earned." Is there any reason or solution to this?

I just got one of those messages today. This can be caused by copying save data to another account.

Ya, you can't copy your saved data to another account. It's unfixable. Otherwise, people would just download 100% complete save files from other people and get platinum trophies easily.

If the save file is from a different user account, then it doesn't even matter if you're using the same PSN profile, the trophies will automatically deactivate. So you can be using the PSN profile "PSName" on your ps3 account "account name 1" and then decide to set up a different account on the same ps3 named "account name 2" and copy your saved data over, sign in with your PSN profile "PSName", and you still won't get the trophies. You need to play on the same account AND PSN name.
