Classic and multiple users

Is there a way to set up Classic to work with multiple users (on the same computer). I know how to get it to start up when firing up the computer. But my kids (who have their own user accounts) can't automatically load Classic applications without closing down Classic on MY account.
Isn't there be a way so that, once Classic has started in the administrator's account, it is accessible for other users?
TIA
Gary

Hello,
I think you have to enable Classic on each account. I don't think it's a "global" issue. All one has to do is click the Classic icon in the Menu Bar, and click Start Classic. Also, you could keep the software icon for whatever application they use on their Desktop, all they have to do is click that icon and it will launch Classic for them.
Perhaps if you post here in the Classic Forum someone will have a better suggestion:

Hello, I have iMac from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users. Mail icon was accidently removed along with program. Mail 4.4 is on other users but when I reloaded software my user got Mail 4.3. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS. Ideas?Matt

Hello, I have iMac Itel i3, from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users.
About 3-4 days ago the Mail icon in dock had question mark and was accidently removed, along with program on my user. Oops.
1. Mail 4.4 is on other users and works fine, but for me it does not work and tells me V4.3 does not work with latest OS X.
2. I reloaded software from my user with original disks (Oct, 2010) and got Mail 4.3 again. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS. I am unable to load Mail. Gives Yellow error message.
" You have Mail version 4.3 (1081/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 (Build 10J869). For more information, click the Help button."
3. Tried to update software and look for update for mail 4.3 on Apple site to no success.
Hate to go to MS-Entorage ( I may need to learn something new and alien) mail program since contracts are in Mail/Address Book.
Ideas?

Matt,
I would download and run the 10.6.7 combo update.

DBMS_FGA.add_policy .. How to handle multiple tables and multiple users

Dear All,
My database is 11gR1 and Linux is the platform.
I have more then 50 very important tables and around 15 database users.
I want to implement fine grained auditing on these important tables.
This is how I am going to implement it:
SQL>BEGIN
DBMS_FGA.add_policy(
object_schema     =>     'Scott',
object_name     =>     'SAL',
policy_name     =>     'SALARY_CHK_AUDIT',
audit_condition     =>     NULL,
handler_schema     =>     'imran',
statement_types     =>     'SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE',
audit_column     =>     NULL);
END;
what is i have to pass multiple tables in object_schema and multiple users in handler_schema.
I hope i am able to clear my question, any doubts please let me know.
Regards, Imran

Hi,
object_schema - The schema of the object to be audited. (If NULL, the current log-on user schema is assumed.)
in case if you like to audit for multiple users - then try to test by holding a null value and test access the important tables -where the relevant auditing records are generated as per your requirement or not. i have not tested.. try it

Problem with iTunes and multiple user accounts in Windows

I am running iTunes on a PC (Windows XP) and have multiple user accounts. When I switch between user accounts and try to open iTunes, I get a message that tells me I can't open the program because another user is using it. Is it really true that I can only have iTunes open in one user account at a time on a PC with multiple user accounts ?!? If not, what am I doing wrong?

You are right, can only have one open. You have to log out of a user before logging in to another user to use iTunes. Do not use the fast user switching ability of Windows.

Help with icloud and multiple users in iTunes

Our family music is under my iTunes/apple id. My mother, husband and I all synch to iTunes on one computer. Can we set up multiple icloud accounts for synching our contacts separately?

Yes, that's the usual advice - everyone use the one itunes account and each user has his/her own icloud account.

Problems with 1 icloud account and multiple users.

We have multiple users all on 1 icloud so we can share apps but also see what people have installed and because IT control the password its upto us what apps get installed. So in that sense this was a good idea. The problem we are having is that the iphone users photos, messages and other things are becoming available on other iphones on this 1 icloud account. So for example one user went on her photos to discover someone elses photos was in their and then also had messages from a contact who only her manager has (also one of the icloud users)
Is there any settings we could change to keep the 1 icloud acount but make it so peoples photos and messages dont sync.

Yes, you can turn off photos in icloud. (settings - icloud- photos)
You can also allow users to use their own apple id's for imessages and facetime. Unlike icloud those can be changed any time, so that does not present security problem. Settings -messages and settings- facetime.
If you dead set on using same apple id, you can make sure that every user only has their phone number checked in messages, so everyone has to go to settings- messages- send and receive and uncheck apple id.

Home Sharing and multiple Users

We have one Mac with one user (me) and another Mac with two other users. If we have Home Sharing turned on for all three users, should each user be able to see the other two iTunes libraries, or will only the currently logged in user on the 2-user computer be available? Example: If User 1 is logged in, can they get User 2's library, and can I get both User 1's and User 2's libraries from the other computer?
And does iTunes have to be launched on a given computer for its library to show up on another computer, or will my iTunes find the library where it resides on the other computer even if their iTunes is not on?

It is not really practical for multiple users on different PCs to use the same library database. This is because the iTunes database is not multiuser, the can however share the same content files.
So each PC will need it's own library database (iTunes Library.itl) which in this case is best located on the users own PC.
Utilities such as Tune ranger can keep libraries in sync:

For backup, some people find synctoy a free utility from Microsoft works for them.

Final Cut Pro X and multiple users

Any ideas about how Apple will handle multiple users for FCP X, when it is downloaded from the App Store?

The new app is scheduled for release in June, 2011. Until it hits, all we know about FCPX is what we've been told by Apple. And you already know or can easily look up the exact same information.

Anything anyone else is claiming to know is either groundless speculation or direct violation of the their NDA with the beta of FCPX and the information will quickly be purged from the forums.

The event library and multiple users in the classroom

Is there any way I can stop the event library loading old footage or footage from another project in imovie. Is there any way i can have 3 or 4 movies on the go in separate files.
I have ten macbooks for my class of thrity kids. We have two users on the computer Admin and Student. All students use the student side, every time imovie opens it gets old footage and events from iphoto and by the end of each term there is 8 to 10 gigs of footage on the go at any one time. imovie HD allowed save, file open and movement of movies. imovie 08/09 seems brilliant for snow boarders and you tubers but not the classroom. Really we would love an editing package that allows attachment of camera and work for a couple of weeks on a project while others do the same thing on the same mac. Please don't suggest multiple users we have over 200 macs and 600 students.

Without multiuser, the only of having an exclusive event library for each student would be either external drive, or a blank disk image to store iMovie events. I can imagine a large network drive that has 50GB size disk images for each students. You mount your image to work with your footage.
By the way you can move event library to other drive within iMovie, so you can back up and disconnect external drive to unclutter event library.

One Projector with shared casts and Multiple Users

I created a training program that was originally meant for
one user at a time. Now the client wants to
install the app on a network and have multiple users run the
same projector. When this is tested, an error comes up saying
that
a shared cast is already open by another user and will not allow
anyone else to run the app at the same time.
I was told there was a work around for this but have not been
able to track it down in the forums yet. If you know the solution,
please hit me back as soon as possible as you can imagine I am in
the hot seat. ;)
either hit me back here, OR directly at my email address:
[email protected]
Thanks!

Make sure that the projector file and all the external casts
are set to
read-only. Then multiple users should be able to share them
all.

Jdeveloper Subversion and Multiple users

I am working with jdeveloper 11.1.1.7 and have a java project that I have been working on. The subversion repository is located on my network drive (backed up). Now that it is in production, I want to place it on a drive where other developers can access it. We use the integrated tools within Jdeveloper to update the repository. This is the URL file:///u:/XML_Processing_svn
I did so, and the other developer was able to connect to the repository, check out the project, but when they make changes and try to commit their changes, the commit gui just hangs and then it shows an error -- was not able to copy it, but it had Previously reported error [java.nio.channels.OverlappingFileLockException in o.ji.vcs.svn.op.SVNOperationCommit:441]
I tried several things:
1. Copying the subversion repository to their personal network drive where they were the only user -- same problem
2. Copying the subversion repository directory to their personal C drive and they CAN update the repository.
3. Copying from their C drive subversion repository directory back down to their Personal Network drive and then trying that -- it worked
4. I just tried one more thing -- I copied the C drive subversion repository directory to a shared network drive. After checking out and updating a file, NOT able to commit!
I would understand if the file-based system would "choke" if two people were trying to write to the same repository due to file io conflicts, but the whole idea of a repository is that everyone can access. At minimum, I would expect that two developers should be able to access the repository if only one were accessing it at the same time.
Is it possible to have multiple users on a file-based repository, or do we have to go the route of hosting the repository in a proxy server?
Thank you for any insight!
Stuart
Points will be awarded as generously as this site allows!

Hi Stuart,
I use JDeveloper in a team with Subversion. We are using Windows 7 for the clients and linux hosted SVN repository. Haven't had any problems with this setup.
I noticed there's an SVNKit bug that sounds similar to your problem. Is your colleague using a Mac or is the repository hosted on a FAT32 disk?
http://issues.tmatesoft.com/issue/SVNKIT-291
The JDeveloper Subversion module uses SVNKit.

X11 and multiple users?

With multiple accounts on an iMac G5, and 10.5.1; is there a way the multiple users can utilize x11.
An example, one user has started x11 for Open Office. The first user logs off.
Later, a second user logs on their account and attempts an application, that requires x11. The application will not start because x11 cannot start for that user. This appears to be true until the first user logs back on and 'quits' x11.
Is this normal?

IIRC, you can't do that and have to terminate X11 or disable FUS. Start with http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8699.htm and the links it points to.

Final Cut and multiple user accounts

Hi all.
I've got Final Cut Studio 5.1.4 installed and just setup a separate account on my PowerPC G5 running Mac OS X ver 10.4.9.
When I run Final Cut from my original account it loads fine. When I run it from the new user account (that I went ahead and set to Admin) it starts to run (shows splash screen) then exits.
I re-installed all of the Final Cut discs from the new account hoping this would address the issue but same thing happens: Final Cut starts to run then exits.
According to the Support page you can have multiple users on a machine using Final Cut.
What am I missing?
Thank you.
Tom
PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Dual 2.5GHz, 4 GB RAM, 500gb

Any application installed in the Applications folder should be accessable from any user... you might run a repair of permissions on your startup disk... it's found in the disk Utiltiy app in the utilities folder.

IPhoto 08, Leopard and multiple users

I just installed Leopard. Under Tiger, I have tried unsuccesfully to share my IPhoto library with other users on my computer. In particular, I tried article 304890: "iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users". Has anything changed with Leopard ?
Thank you so much.
Cesco

Many people using the Shared Folder find that they have permissions issues which mean that they 'other' user can't see some part of the Library. Therefore, if you want to share the Library in that way it's best moved to an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and set to ignore ownership and permissions.
can both users add photos from their iPhones via iPhoto on their respective accounts and have the new photos show up on the other users iPhoto app?
Yes.
would the newly added photos sharing be automaticall be set to the folder sharing settings? ie, view and edit for both users?
Yes.
if i edit the photos with say photoshop, will the changes show up in iphoto?
If you set this up corrrectly - You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
You will need to do this in both accounts.
would timemachine back the data up automatically?
TM can be set to back up externals. There are other options too, of course.
when I upgrade to a new computer will everything work the same.
Yes. Just plug in the extenal and point iPhoto at the external from the new machine.

Mac OS X maintenance scripts and multiple user accounts

Hi everyone
Just wondering how the default maintenance scripts scheduled to run in the early morning works with multiple user accounts. Our Macs at home all have multiple user accounts (one for each of us) and I'm wondering whether the scripts work their magic across all accounts (assuming the computer itself is switched on AND not asleep).
Also, is the behaviour the same regardless of Mac OS X version? More specifically we're using snow leopard, lion, mountain lion, and maybe shortly mavericks.
Thanks!
Joe.

The maintenance scripts run by periodic perform system tasks. They do nothing in a user's account (unless you modify the scripts or create your own). They are primarily designed for long lived systems (servers). There isn't any magic nor would a normal mac users find any differences whether they ran or not.
In all the operating system versions that you mention, the scripts will run when the computer wakes, assuming that the computer was turned on before the prescribe times.
