Best way to set up user to hide pages in a fillable form once complete.

I have created an 11 page fillable PDF form from a word document that will be used for Mentors. The last page (11) is a summary page with fields automatically populated from various preceeding pages. Once the form has been filled out, I'd like the user to select a checkbox (or something) so that they can allow the reviewer (in my case the Employer) to only see the Summary page as pages 1-10 will contain confidential information for the users use only. What is the best way to do this? Once filled out, the Mentors will upload('update') the document with a sharepoint (joomla) Document management system where Employers have a separate login group and user access levels.
Any help woudl be greatly appreciated. I understand that forms created from word have limited functionality so I can't 'hide' certain pages on a checkbox entry - but if there is a way around this (ie setting Chapters?) I would appreciate the help!

If the data must remain truly confidential, meaning that the end user should not have any way of getting at it when they are provided the file, then you really should be extracting the summary page once it's populated or creating it separately. Even if you made the pages templates so that you can hide them (with Acrobat) and then applied security restrictions, the confidential information would still remain in the file and could be seen relatively easily by a knowledgeable and/or determined person.

Best way to set up a Mac laptop for multiple users with AD logins

I am setting up a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 that will be used as a "loaner" notebook for meetings, etc. The computer will be used internally at our company, so users will be logged into our network. Active Directory is set up on this computer to allow all domain users to log in using their own user name and password; this approach helps meet our company's security standards (we want to avoid using one common login or account for all users).
While this approach seems to fit our needs, it causes problems when it comes to running applications. For instance, each new user is prompted to enter first-time usage information when launching an application (forcing them to contemplate registration information, various settings, etc.). I've given "everyone" read-write privileges to the HD > Library and the Applications folder, but this does not solve anything and may not be a good approach anyway.
I would welcome any advice on the best way to set up this computer for multiple users logging in via Active Directory. Thanks!

Where are you installing the third party applications? It sounds like they are being installed in the 'User 1' account, rather than the /Applications folder (admin or not, one user normally can not see into another user's folders). Repairing permissions only works for applications that have a file in /Library/Receipts, not on folders in general, so you would need to check the permissions for the folders in question.

I suspect you have a newer iMac than the pre-2006 models this forum covers (the forum labels are unbelieveably vague). If you can confirm that yours is newer than 2005, I can ask the Hosts to move you the the forum for current iMacs, which gets many more views.

What Is The Best Way To Set Up Kids iTouch To My iTunes?

I have an iTouch set up with my iTunes music, movies and apps, but now I gave my kids each an iTouch.
What is the best way to set up there account, should it be a unique account for each of them or should I put them under my account?
They will be using my same iMac when they sync or update there iTouch, so will they need to log in under their name every time?
Not sure what is the best way to set this up, they are both minors, i.e. no credit card.
Thanks

Better just your account for multiple devices. The only drawback is that the music will have to managed manually.
Connect one of the iPods to your computer then launch iTunes. You should see the iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Double click then you can name each iPod to keep them separate but only syncs to your iTunes account.
Without knowing your Apple ID user name and password they would not be able to make purchases ergo no downloads you aren't aware of.
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
The kids are minors.. if they are under 13 years of age, according to Apple, they can't have their own accounts regardless.

What is the best way of setting up Family Sharing?

I just bought my son an iPad Mini and I am trying to decide on what is the best way of setting it up for him. The one thing I do know is that I do NOT want all the content that is my iPhone 6 to pop up on his iPad Mini. I want his iPad to be used for his games and educational stuff and his own music. I don't mind setting up a family photo album and share photos with the family. So is the Family Sharing option the best way of doing this based on what I just mentioned? Do I set him up with his own Apple ID? If so will everything still be based off my account so he won't have to create his own iTunes Library?
I always use iTunes gift cards to purchase music and content. Will I be able to continue to use them even if I want to put some new content on his iPad and not my iPhone? Do I enter in his Apple ID info. Can you restrict certain family members to just certain things for example you only want to share photos with one person whereas you might want to share your music with another family member?
Any suggestions on the best way of setting this up would great!
Thanks!

Hi DVX100Shooter,
Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it.
Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
The shared family photo album is available to all family members.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

What's the best way to set up new imac for logic etc?

In brief:
Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
Thanks.

Adding to babowa, enable the system firewall in System Preferences>Security>Firewall tab. Click Advanced and check Stealth Mode.
Lion is a pretty steady and secure operating system, and as there really aren't MANY Mac viruses, there ARE viruses out there still. OS X is pretty good about letting you know if you do accidently download a virus, and it will help you throw it away if it detects one, such as the MACDefender virus. OS X has built in security features such as sandboxing that doesn't allow viruses in as easily as a Windows PC. As for hackers, as long as you have the firewall enabled and a secure password (for your computer and email accounts), then you should be fine.
It's the user that lets the virus in, not the computer (unless there's some untold serious vulnerability in OS X, which is highly unlikely). Keep your apps up to date, don't download pirated software, and be street smart on the internet. Don't download things or visit websites that you don't think are real. Safari includes a Phishing feature that automatically detects known phishing sites, protecting you from that big problem. Keep your passwords secure and you should be fine.
There are antivirus solutions out there, one notable one available in the AppStore is Intego's VirusBarrier (free and plus versions), if you feel you still need one.
I wouldn't worry about it. Windows users who switch to Mac are always asking these questions.
Here's some good reading as well

What is the best way to set up multiple Apple devices ?

Lime many of us here I have quite a few apple devices and I just wondered whet the best way to set them up with itunes / Apple
my Apple gear:
Mac mini 2.53 with Mountain Lion
Mac Mini 1.6 duo Snow Leopard
Iphone 5c (mine) running 8
Iphone 5c (wifes) running 8
iPad 2 (old) 64 GB running 8
iPad Mini 2 retina 32 GB running 7
g3 iMac (running Tiger) Juke box (semi retired ;-) now)
At the moment all devices (apart from new Mac mini 2 and the old G3) are set up under my Apple ID ... (1 Apple ID for all devices) ... obviously this has problems : my wife downloads an App it will appear on my phone; we have had to disable some of the messaging systems as at one point my wife was getting my messages et ... is there a better way to do this?

cosmiconion wrote:
one drawback of same Apple ID for store is that what she downloads will automatically appear on all devices
Do you mean the visibility of the purchase in the App Store (under purchases) or the installation of the app automatically on the other devices?
In the App Store on the device (under iOS 8 at least on the iPad, I couldn't get it to work on my iPhone 5 under iOS 8), you can hide purchases...just swipe it to the left in the Purchased list. You can then unhide the hidden purchase(s) if desired by using iTunes on the PC/Mac under your iTunes account.
Auto App updates (Automatic Downloads) can be controlled under: Settings/iTunes & App Store, scroll down to Automatic Downloads and disable those that you do not want.

Best way to set up two new iTouches for kids

I have a two new iTouches for my daughter (8) and son (5). My iPhone is set up with iTunes on my iMac computer. Both kids have an a user account on the iMac. What is the best way to set up the iTouch's for my kids?
Do I use my Apple ID for their iTouch and sync it to iTunes on my iMac user account (same as my iPhone)?
Do I use my Apple ID for their iTouch and set up iTunes on their user accounts on my iMac?
Do I get my kids their own Apple ID and sync it to iTunes on my iMac user account?
Do I get my kids their own Apple ID and sync it to iTunes on their user accounts on my iMac?
Do I set up one Apple ID for both kids and sync to iTunes so they can have the same games and only pay once?
I also have an iPad that I sync to iTunes on my usser account.
Thanks

I have the same dliemma. Daughter 8, son 6 - 2 new itouches for xmas - one library , my iPad, wife's iPhone ??
I was intending on just keeping one library (this does contain music with explicit lyric content etc) and manage their music via separate playlists.
As far as accounts and restrictions go, I was going to set them up with their own itunes account (using mail addresses only I can use). Load the account up with a voucher each.
The restrictions I was going to apply at the iPod (rather than the account) using a PIN I know - this way you can limit Safarii browsing (i.e. turn it off), youtube, and the age limit to the apps they can install and run - and the movie ratings allowed etc.
Happy to hear other ideas though - I'm intending on setting this up BEFORE they get them.

Best way to set up to new iPad?

My iPad should arrive next week, and I am excited to get it set up. I am curious as to the best way to do so...
Between my wife and I, we share a MacBook and an iMac, each with our own user accounts on each computer. We share an iTunes library and an iPhoto library. We each have an iPhone, our own contacts, email accounts, etc. We each have our own mobileme account. I understand that the iPad does not have the option of 2 user accounts, which would be ideal, so absent of that, what is the best way to set it up to facilitate our sharing it?
Thanks

My wife and I share our's and really the only way is to be sure you only put stuff on that you both want and need. For example,
1) You can have separate photo albums, but you both can see the other's.
2) Music can be divided into play lists, but again, both access.
3) Apps are for both. When 4.0 comes out later this year, you can use folders to segregate apps, but now, the best you can do is put each's apps on separate pages of the desktop. ie, common apps on the first 2 pages, your faves on the next 2, then hers on the last two. (or vice versa...)
4) Videos, etc, continue with a similar strategy.....
Not much help, but until, if ever, they have multi-user, not much else to do.
Any better approaches out there?

Best way to set up a scratch disc for a shared project?

I am currently working on a project with 4 seperate computers and users working from a shared external 10TB drive. What is the best way to set up the scratch disc and media cache folders?
Each worker is editing a sequence and then posting back to the 10TB drive.

Use the identical path (including drive letter) for Media Cache,
Preview Files and source media files on all machines.
Premiere will look to absolute, not relative paths for these files.

Best way to set global environment variables?

What is the best way to set global (i.e. for all users of the computer, ideally all shells as well) environment variables under Leopard?
I know that they can be set via ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile or in my case ~/.zshrc files in the terminal on a per user basis.
Also, they can be set for GUI apps as well via ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist on a per user basis.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/Artic les/EnvironmentVars.html
The path can apparently be set globally by adding files to /etc/paths.d/*
http://blog.plotdevice.org/2008/04/global-path-in-mac-os-x-leopard/
Is there a way to set environment variables globally so that they are accessible to all users and all programs including nonstandard shells like zsh?
My inclination is to set them in /etc/rc.common but that seems like it might be a bad idea. I'd prefer something more like the /etc/paths.d/* solution that only involves adding files, not modifying existing ones. They should be less likely to be overwritten in a system update later.

They may be less likely to be overwritten than you fear. A lot of things depend on modifications to the system scripts like /etc/profile. Although I'd expect these to be broken by an upgrade to Leopard, for example, they have survived all Tiger upgrades on my machine. You could always have them source scripts in /usr/local, say, so that the work involved in reconfiguring them if they are overwritten is minimal. (Or you could just install your versions in /usr/local and make the system scripts symlinks to those versions - if anything is overwritten, it would be the symlink rather than the file itself. An automated start up script could even check and recreate the symlink if necessary.)

What is the best way to set up iTunes on our home network so all family members have access to all of our itunes library, even music we don't have on the cloud?

I have five different people using 10 different apple devices on one itunes account in our family. We have had trouble sharing. What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network? We have purchased music that sits on icloud, but we also have music we have imported from our previous cd library. Our itunes program keeps crashing and dumping everyone's playlists. So far we have all been using just the one desktop computer to sync to because we can't figure out how to share the same librarly and playlists on multiple computers in our home so devices can be synced at any location as well as playlists and purchases be made.

What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network?
One iTunes library per person. One iTunes account per person.
If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
When the inevitable day comes when the kids get older, you will not have to come back here and post asking how all that stuff can get separated!

What is the best way to set up iTunes to deal with a massive media library?

I have a really big media library...probably 7k-10k digital photos, close to 1,000 ripped CDs, and over 600 ripped DVDs, all stored on 1.5TB external hard disks in a 4-drive enclosure.
Due to a recent technical glitch, I find myself installing a new drive and moving the current library. My question is, what is the best way to set up iTunes' settings to deal with a media library that is both external to the Mac on which it runs, and spans multiple physical hard disk units?
I generally like the idea of iTunes organizing my library for me (i.e. keeping everything in Media Type>Artist>Album folders via the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder), but I'm not sure how that's going to work spanning multiple drives.
I just figure since I'm basically starting over with my iTunes installation, maybe there's a better way to do it.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

You can set them up as a software RAID using Disk Utility.
It'll simply be one large disk for all intents and purposes.
