Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files.  Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile.  When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users.  However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

  • Why can't I share a Quicken file with another user on my mac?

    I have a new mac. Used to have a pc  with ms money. it was set so that both my wife and I could open Money and work on the same file (our checkbook).
    I get a "can't open file....no permission" message from Quicken if I try to open from my wife's login.
    I have the file in the Shared folder and I manually went into File Sharing and set her up to read& write on that folder and file but I still get "no permission"
    There has to be a way for 2 people to work on the same file, yes?

    Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
    So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
    Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
    Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
    Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
    If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
    Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

  • File sharing with another user on a Mac

    Dear Guru,
    I am trying to add my wife on my Macbook as another user with Admin privilege.  And I also want to share certain files in a folder with her.  This folder was shared (following the instructions from the internet) and was moved under a "Public" folder under me (as an user).  And of course, this "Public" folder was also marked "shared".  But when my wife cannot see this folder from her side after logging in.  Can someone tell me why?  What did I do wrong?
    James

    There's a simpler way to do this.   OS X automatically creates a user folder called "Shared".   Look in Mac HD > Users > Shared.
    This user account (folder) and any files or folders you save there are available to all users on the Mac.  It's the quickest way to copy, move or share files across accounts on the same Mac.   There is no need to turn on File Sharing or otherwise specify shared folders.
    One note:  although the /users/Shared folder itself has full Read & Write permission for all users, OS X file permissions are still operative on any files or folders you put there yourself.   Often by default, documents and other files you create will have a "Read Only" permission for the group "everyone."   You may need or want to change the file or folder permission for "everyone" to Read & Write if you want other users on your Mac to be able to directly edit that particular document or file.   This is easy enough to do in GetInfo.

  • Sharing files with multiple users on single iMac

    THIS IS a REPOST from another location - more appropriate "thread"
    After switching to Mac from a PC about a month ago (& not being technologically over-adept), I have finally succeeded in creating separate "User" accounts on my iMac (1 admin, 1 standard, 1 managed) to allow the 3 users in my household to create their own workspace. However, now I would like to allow them to access all files from some applications - iTunes, iPhoto, Address Book, etc. - and some of the files within Numbers, Pages, & Keynote (that were theirs to start with...but they were working on in "my" admin space before establishing separate Users.) As an additional challenge, I'd still like to have access to their files...for monitoring purposes...as we go forward. I've "searched" the Apple support files and found reference to some of this but (1) I can't seem to figure out how to move the files into the Public Folder (I did one, then logged in as another User & it wasn't there...) and (2) If they access files from the Public Folder, will they need to specifically save them back there when done? -- my other users will NEVER remember to put something back where they got it...

    You can give each user read and write permissions to just that folder, or to everything in it. But that will not stick to any new files that are added to the folder hierarchy after that point. When new files are created they are read and write for the creator, and read only for all others. If you want to change that it must be done manually for each new file that you add.
    There is a way to get around this, and make every file/folder added to a folder hierarchy automatically get full read and write permission for the users you specify. It requires setting up ACLs. Do it this way:
    1. Make a new subfolder in /Users/Shared. Call it something like /Users/Shared/sharefolder. Move all the files you want to share into this folder.
    2. Go to System Preferences and unlock the Accounts pref pane. Click the + button. Make a new group (select "group" from the drop down menu). Call it something like "sharegroup". Add the users you want to that group.
    3. Log in to an admin account. Launch Terminal. Paste in all three of these lines at the same time and then press Return:
    sudo chmod -R +a "sharegroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
    addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
    /Users/Shared/sharefolder
    Enter your admin password when prompted and press return again. You are done. The users in the sharegroup can all now read and write everything in the sharefolder. They will also be able to read and write any file that is newly created or copied into the sharefolder from that point on.
    NOTE: After setting this up, and you want to add more files to the sharefolder, be aware that files that already exist outside the sharefolder WON'T inherit the new permissions if they are simply moved in (i.e. drag with Finder). They must be copied in. Hold down the option key when dragging files into the sharefolder. That will ensure that a new copy will be made, and the permissions will inherit properly. You can then delete the old copy of the file from its previous location.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I transfer a book or file to another user on my mac

    I am working on a book in Iphoto and would like to transfer the book and a file of pictures  to another user on my mac to finish the book

  • Sharing files with another mac

    I have some videos on Iphoto that I want to share with another Mac via the cloud. How do they find it on their computer?

    One of the most secure way to share files over the internet is to use an sftp server.
    Goto your system preferences-->sharing-->turn on remote login.
    Then on your router's or firewalls port forward tcp port 22 to your mac. Then you can log into each others mac using an SFTP client such as transmit or cyberduck.

  • ITunes Library not seen - Sharing Library with another account on same Mac

    I have a done a search and tried some of the suggestions, but it doesn't appear to be working.
    Background:
    Had iTunes on a Windows machine.
    Purchased about 60 tunes
    Ripped all my CDs into the library
    Bought an iBook
    Purchased about 30 tunes on the iBook
    Used the Network to copy the Music files to the iBook
    iBook appears to have everything
    Bought at 17" iMac - did a Target Disk transfer from iBook
    Reformatted 17" and traded it in for 20" iMac
    Did a Target Disk transfer from iBook to new 20"
    Under my account on the iMac, I can see/use my entire library. Per suggestions here, I moved the iTunes Music folder to my Public diretory so that my wife could see the library too. When I loaded iTunes on my wife's account and did an Add to Library the only thing that shows up in her library is the 30 tunes I purchased using the iBook.
    I have both accounts setup to point to the Public directory.
    How do I make this work??
    Also, I really only want one library to be shared between both of our accounts on both machines, but I do want the ability to take the library with me when I go mobile with the iBook. Is this possible?

    I read the referenced thread and although the person got the desired results, I see two problems with the method they used. It sounds like they simply mad another copy of the library on the hard drive. First, this wastes disk space as you now have to copies of every song on the hard drive. Second, whenever music is added to either of the libraries, the other library will not see it and be out of "sync" unless you manually copy the new songs to the other directory.
    I am looking for a solution in which their is only one central library.
    Thanks

  • HT201077 I added 500 photos to my photostream and shared them with another user. However, as soon as the other user accepted, the photos in my stream starting removing themselves until I only had 150 left, this is the number they received. Why did this ha

    .

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • How do I share iTunes access privileges with another user on my mac?

    My wife and I use the same Mac. I recently created a separate user account for her after upgrading to Mountain Lion (so that we can get full functionality out of the new features). I gave her user account full administrator access as well as read & write sharing ability in certain folders... So why can she not purchase content on iTunes? What is the best way to extend the same iTunes account across different users on the same Mac?

  • Want to share some music with another User on my Mac - how?

    Hi everyone,
    Here's what I want to do, and any help is appreciated.
    My fiancee and I both users on my Mac laptop. Currently, we have our own iTunes library in our respective user folders. She wants some of my songs in her library, and I want a few of hers. I don't want to waste hard drive space, so I am trying to figure out how she can have some of my music in her library without creating duplicate copies on the hard drive. Then I want to be sure the shared songs she likes will upload to her iPod when she tries to sync.
    From reading the various entries, I think the solution to this is to have a shared library in a public folder. However, I have a few questions about how this will work.
    1. I don't want to see most of her music in my iTunes, and she doesn't want to see most of mine in hers. Can we control this with a shared library, or will each person see all of the available music?
    2. What will happen when we try to sync our iPods? Will my iPod try to import all of her music that I don't want? Will hers get all of mine, or just the songs she wants?
    Thanks in advance for your help...
    PS - yes, I did read the article that covers most of this topic, but it didn't answer some of my questions.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

    Just in case anyone is having the same issue - since there were no responses to this post, I bit the bullet and copied my iTunes library into our shared folder.
    1. Our libraries stayed the same - nobody's music showed up in the other person's library. If she wants additional music from the shared library, she can just drag it into her iTunes from the shared folder on the finder level.
    2. The iPods behaved exactly as expected - they would only sync to the user they were attached to.

  • How do i share a file so another user of my mac pro can access

    Hi
    I have a file on my mac pro that I want others to use for presentations without them seeing all my private info.  I have set up a new user but how do I share the file the other user on my mac pro can see it?

    Place the files you want to transfer on the Desktop
    Click on the Finder or desktop to swtich to Finder, then Go > Computer, then double click on the boot drive, then on the Users folder.
    Open the target User folder and inside is a Public folder > Drop Box, just drag and drop in there and the permissions change so that user can use the file.

    I have a Vista operating system with 2 users.  Somehow I got two diffent libraries for the users.  How can I delete the one and then access the correct library on the other users profile?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
