How do I create a "New User"

In my prior post of yesterday, "How do I password protect / lock an album, it was recommended to me to create a new user, then move the desired photos from the current library (current user) to the new library within the new user. Sounds like a good idea, but how do I do it? I'm a bit of a novice. Can someone walk me through the process?
1. How do I create a new user?
2. How do I transfer the selected photos in my current library to the new library in my new user name?
Thanks,
HDP

Hi there,
I think PhillyPhan will post back in your other thread and explain the process...
But to give you my 2 cents, I would opt to create another iPhoto Library folder that contains the images you do not want to share and keep as private as possible.
By using this: hold down OPTION key and open iPhoto, a dialog will open, Quit - Create - Choose, just create another library in any part of your HD or even on an external HD under any name or even inside another folder. Once created you can import the photos you want to keep away from the general public. You can go back and forth between libraries by using the same option key etc. iPhoto will open automatically to the last library you opened. So, you can hide the library anywhere you wish on your Mac HD or external, and alot of people don't know the Option key / open iPhoto > choose library function.
The reasons I would choose to do it this way, someone would need to know you have another library and where the library is located in order to view the images.
Importing the images will take a bit of work, post back if interested or have any other questions...

How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

You are asking about a Database User I hope.
You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
In particular, you may find:
Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
an intresting chapter.
You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
Create user John identified by Smith;
Grant CONNECT to John;
Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
commit;
There is much more you can do
depending on your needs.
Please read the documentation.

How do I create a new user account?

I have a new iPod with a different iTunes account than my other devices. How do I sync the iPod on my iMac with the songs/movies from its own iTunes account? Do I need to create a new user profle on the computer for that?

As you said, I recommend to create a new user account and create a new iTunes library on that user with the content of the iPod. If you sync it with your user account, you will get on the iPod the content from a different Apple ID and maybe content that you don't want.
To create a new user account, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button that it's below the left sidebar (where users are listed). Then, just follow the steps to set up the user account.
Now, every time you start your Mac, OS X will ask you the user account you want to start OS X with

How do I create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user

This is why I think I need to.
My computer got hit by lightening, and I may have created a new user account through netinfo rather than system preferences /accounts/+user. Mail used to open twice, but no longer. Now, Safari askes me for my keychain password twice, Spotlight can't find a folder on the computer when the search is restricted to folder and computer, though the folder is there and easyfind finds it, and when System Preferences/Spotlight/Privacy has the hard drive icon added, then deleted, Spotlight still does not find anything. (Yes, everything is backed up, on CD, DVD, and online.) Microsoft Tec Support says
"Here is a summary of the key points of the case for your records.
When you contacted us on August 8, you had requested assistance with Microsoft Office 2004, as your installation of the updates was unable to find the correct version of the software to update. After creating a New MAC User, we identified the issue to be with a corrupt MAC User account, and not a Microsoft issue. "
I believe Microsoft. So, creating a new user was easy.
But copying files uses up too much hard drive (movies, music), and may miss keychains, preferences, mail, address book, and documents. Since Spotlight no longer works, who knows what is happening. (Yes, I've repaired persmissions, and disk repair. No change). I'm using up my hard drive trying to move files to the new user. If I share files, or put them into a public folder, then delete the old user, will I still have the old user's files in the new user's account? It is not clear to me what I should be trying to do in order to create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user. Thanks.
My responses will be slow, because I have to drive to town to use the internet. I've ordered a new airport which may take care of that problem. SO be patient.

Hey -
I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance!

How do i create a new user in visual basic

hello all!
I'm customizing TS Operator Interface and I'm trying to add a new user with VB code.
is anyone has any idea how to do this?
Advanced thanks,Avi.

Hello Avi,
Looks like the TSengine doesn't handle the save and update operations when invoking 'NewUser' method, so you have to handle these by your own. The following code (which is the menu callback for creating a new user in an Operator interface) might give you an answer for your question:
Private Sub NewUser_Click()
Dim objNewUser As User
Dim tmpUser As User
Dim users As PropertyObject
Dim OkCancel As Boolean
Dim loginName As String
Dim usersFilePath As String
Const USERS_FILE_NAME As String = "\users.ini"
Const USER_LISTS As String = "UserLists.Users" 'section of file containing user lists
'Check if the current user has 'EditUsers' privileges
If Data.TestEngine.CurrentUserHasPrivilege(Priv_EditUsers) Then
OkCancel = Data.TestEngine.DisplayNewUserDialog("New User", True, objNewUser)
If OkCancel Then
'Get user login name
loginName = objNewUser.loginName
'Get users file path
usersFilePath = Data.TestEngine.ConfigDirectory
usersFilePath = usersFilePath + USERS_FILE_NAME
'Create new object for all users
Set users = Data.TestEngine.NewPropertyObject(PropValType_Container, False, "", 0)
'Read all users from users.ini
Call users.Read(usersFilePath, USER_LISTS, 0)
'Check if user name already exist
If Not Data.TestEngine.UserNameExists(loginName) Then
'Insert new user into user object
Call users.SetPropertyObject(loginName, PropOption_InsertIfMissing, objNewUser)
'Write user object back to users.ini
Call users.Write(usersFilePath, USER_LISTS, 0)
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
After executing the code above you'll have to restart the operator interface in order to see the newly created user in the 'TSEngine.DisplayLoginDialog' (seems to be a bug here).
Hope this solved your problem and
feel free for further questions
Regards,
Silvius

How do I create a new user account and migrate my data to it?

I have problem with Adobe Bridge crashing when I exit Camera Raw. I was advised by my local apple service store to create a new user account and test Bridge using the new account. It works fine. So what do I do now? I don't know what in my account is causing the conflict but assume that the solution might be e newly setup user.

Checking the behaviour in another user account is a TEST, not a solution! You don't need to move everything over. Otherwise, every time you get a user account problem, you'll keep moving to a new user account again and again.
If the problem does not occur in a new user account, then the cause is something IN your user account. This is usually a Preference file. Adobe Bridge seems to crash a lot, and it can usually be fixed by deleting the Bridge folder in <user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
You can also try deleting the Bridge preference file, which will be in <user>/Library/Preferences, and called com.adobe.bridge5.plist (or similar).
If that doesn't work, you can test removing a whole bunch of the various Adobe files in those folders. You can always put them back if they don't change anything. And you've got a backup, haven't you? ;-)

How do you create a new user if you are the admini...

Hi There,
I am having trouble creating a new users. I do all the steps and then it times out when I press create?
Any ideas?

You don't have to remove your project. Just make a new project. They'll both be stored in the iMovie Ptojects folder and can both be accessed from the project library in iMovie. Perhaps you mean something else and I'm not understanding the question.

Is it possible to create a new portal user with java(or jsp) which is writen by myself?
The program makes user become a new member automatically when he login.

This is definitly possible. In my perspective
it consist out of two steps: customing your login-screen and making a procedure which adds an new user to portal.
The customizing of the login screen is only a extra call to the new procedure.
The procedure is a bit more diffcult, you have to make an user and add rights to him.
I already have a document containing the way to customize a loginscreen.
I also have a sql-package wich adds an user to portal(from outside portal), but the description and inline documentation are in dutch. So I have to do some work on that.
If you are interesed mail me at [email protected]

How can I create a new User with the Java API like OIDDAS do?

Hello,
I'm currently working on an BPEL based process. And i need to create an OCS user. So far I can create an user in the OID. But I cant find any documentation about given this user an email account,calendar and content function etc.

Wiki: how do I create a new user?

Yes, I know, it sounds silly, but I can't create a user in the ArchLinux Wiki at all. Could somebody who succeded tell me how to do this?
I've tried "IceRAM" & "iceram" as usernames & empty password, didn't work.

You shouldn't need a password (BTW, search the forum for where I asked this question around March)
Basically, if your username is a wikiword (capitalized first letter words strung together), you can log in with that name. So try IceRam (I just did and it worked )

CS5.1: How do I create a new "User Defined" swatch palette.

CS5.1: Under "Swatch Libraries" window, "User Defined" is grayed out, so I can't access my personal swatch palette. I have the data to recreate it, but do not find a "new palette" selection.

Thank you Monika. Your response led me to what appears to be success. I opened an existing file that had my swatch palette embedded in it, then selected "Save Swatch Library as AI", giving it the name of my swatch palette. That palette now appears under "User Defined".
