Newbie Question - application install/setup for admin and non-admin users

Hi,
I'm 100% new to the Mac environment and OS X and I'm a bit confused as to the environment and setting up applications and such for users.
I have a brand new Macbook Pro that I need to set-up.
USER Setup
- have a dedicated admin account called "Administrator"
- have a user account for my son, Joe.
- have a user account for me, Matt, so I can fool around on the machine to see if I like it enough to get one myself.
This is the account setup model I'm most accustomed to using under OpenVMS and Windows - an administrator account and separate lower privilege accounts for users.
I have managed to accomplish these three tasks ok. I also enabled File Vault on my account only.
APPLICATION Setup
We want to install the following applications but I'm having problems:
- Firefox, for use by all three accounts, but with separate bookmark files for each user. This is the browser we are familiar with and want to start with (sorry Safari, maybe as time goes by).
- Eudora for e-mail for just the two user (mine and Joe's) accounts, with separate user files for each account. It's the program we're familiar with.
- Microsoft Office for all three accounts.
- An architectural CAD program (ArchiCAD) for use only in my account.
- PGP for use only in my account.
My real issues appear to be with how to install apps the way I need them to be 'visible' to users.
I started by logging in as Administrator and downloading/installing Firefox.
It installed ok under the administrator account but I can't find/access Firefox when logged in via my or my son's account and I don't know what to do to give my/Joe's account access to it.
So,
1) How do I install an application once and make it available to all accounts (admin & user)?
2) How do I install an application and make it useable only by a subset of users
Thanks for any assistance.

Suggest you buy the book by David Pogue - Mac OS X The Missing Manual Tiger Edition.
Includes everything you need to know about installing OS X, using OS X & maintaining OS X.
Look at these links for new users. They should give you an overview regardless of which version of OS X you are using.

Newbie Question - Cannot log onto htmldb admin user after new v2 install

Hi
Cannot log onto admin user.
htmldb v2 - installed fine on db
Oracle Server - 9.2.0.5
9i Application Server (httpd 1.0.2.2.2). This part of the ebso 11.5.10 stack. Many
reasons why i had to do this but i could not see a compat issue ? This is only
test bed as well, not a production configuration.
Followed all v2 post-install tasks - httpd.conf/wdbsvr.app .
DAD/modplsql config OK.
On connection to admin interface - host:port/pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin, gives what i would call the 'standard' browser logon page ? Not the htmldb logon template
Thought it may be issue with images alias but don't really know and cannot see issue with config files ?
Regards
A

Do you have an alias setup for the images directory? For example -
Alias /i/ "....path to images directory..."If not, then that's probably the cause of your problem. If you do have that entry, then check that the path is correct, and check that the permissions on that directory are such that the user that the webserver is running as can access the directory.

How to install Workshop for WebLogic and WebLogic Portal?

Hi All,
I am new to Weblogic Portal. I would like to start learning Oracle Weblogic Portals..
Can anyone please guide me, how to install Workshop for WebLogic and WebLogic Portal?
As per the ""Tutorials – Getting Started with WebLogic Portal"" (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/tutorials/setup_dev_env.html)
we need to install the Workshop for WebLogic and WebLogic Portal.
Please suggest me where should i get the required environments/IDE?
Thanks,
Harish.

Hi Harish
1. If this is your first time with Weblogic Portal, I would recommend to download the latest Weblogic Portal Software Rel 10.3.2 from this bottom link. Check Accept Radio button, for windows download windows installer. Its about 1 GB file. This software includes Eclipse IDE, Weblogic Server and Weblogic Portal.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/wlp/index.html
2. During the installation process, make sure at one point you select Custom mode (NOT default Typical mode). In next following screens you will see all bundles checked EXCEPT for Samples. So make sure you check Samples Check box both under Weblogic Server and Weblogic Portal. Then proceed. This will install full Weblogic Workshop (Eclipse IDE), Weblogic Server and Weblogic Portal. This is the good installation package. Also it will install samples for Portal and Server. If you select all default typical mode, it will NOT install samples. You can install samples later on also, but its good at installation time itself you select custom and check Samples also.
3. WLP 10.3.2 uses Eclipse IDE. If you are familiar with Eclipse IDE this should be helpful. Otherwise also, its ok.
4. For learning WLP, in Eclipse IDE, you need to create Portal EAR Project, then Portal Web Project. Inside portal web project create simple jsp hello world portlets and a simple portal.
5. For Deploying and Testing Portal application you need to create Portal Domain using config wizard. You can see this from Start -> Programs -> Oracle Weblogic Portal shortcut -> Weblogic Server -> Tools -> Configuration Wizard.
6. You can start Workshop IDE from Start -> Program Files -> Oracle Weblogic Portal ...-> Eclipse For Weblogic 10.3.2
Here are the links for quick start guide for portal development. Please do refer them.

I wanted to install windows for Mac and I had vista so I put I the disk and installed followed the steps it then it closed my computer wen I turned it on it went straight to windows and it asked me to install it and put in the windows box code I found out I didn't have it so I wanted to go back to Mac I shut it off and it just goes back to windows and asks me to put the box code how do I get rid of it and go back to Mac because no buttons work at the start and i can't take out the disk !! Help

The two other posts are correct... so I'll just clarify. What's happening right now is your system is trying to boot into Windows in order to finish the installation. What you want to do is make it boot into OS X. As mende1 indicated, with your system off, hold down the Option key and continue to hold it while you turn the system on. You will eventually be presented with an option to select which partition you would like to boot from. Choose OS X. After you get into OS X, again, as mende1 indicated, change the Startup Disk to OS X. What this will do is cause your system to automatically boot into OS X when you restart it instead of you having to use the Option key when booting each time.
Relaunching BootCamp Assistant will allow you to remove your Windows installation and partition.

How to stop pwsswd change option for Admin user id or SLD or monitor ID

Hello frineds,
As I know we do have one option to disable password change prompt using J2EE Admin tool ( Go to security provider->Usermanagement and search for the user
Select the user and check "No password change required") but this option checked for all user users by default and it prompting password change after 90 days (default).
Is there any other way to stop change password prompt for admin user ID's?
Any help is a great help
Thanks and regards,
Venkat

Deleting AD users vs Disabling. What is the difference? If an account is disabled, can it still be setup for mail forwarding to another user? If an account is deleted, what files get deleted?

Deleting AD users vs Disabling. What is the difference? If an account is disabled, can it still be setup for mail forwarding to another user? If an account is deleted, what files get deleted? Thanks.

Hi,
Disable Users: Nobody can log in to the mailbox, but the data is safe and it can receive email. Once it is enabled, it is back to normal.
Delete Users: when the user is deleted all the services are removed and all data is erased. The user is deleted from our Active Directory. If you create a user with the same Name and Emial address again, no data or services are recovered.
If you disable a user, the Active Directory object remains untouched together with the mailbox data and properties, but you will not be able to access any mailbox data.
If you delete a user, the Active Directory object is removed together with all data and properties of the user.
Hope it helps.

Report for Excisable and Non Excisable vendor

Hello
Is there any Std report is there....it can give us the list of Excisable and Non excisable Vendors based on the Perticular Purchase Orgnisation.
Regards
sapman man

Hi
I do not think in SAP this kind of report is available.
what you can do , if your vendor master has different accounting group for Excisable and Non excisable vendor then you can check in standard table of vendor master like LFA1 and LFM1 or create Z report or Query.
Awaiting your feedback.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Development of Form for Returnable and Non-returnable material Gate pass

Dear Experts,
I am working with an Indian client impementing SAP PM. I need help in developing a form for Returnable and Non Returnable Gatepass. Requirements are below;
RGP/NRGP should be made for all materials going out of the factory, irrespective of it being coded or not
It should be plant specific
It should have reference to material movement document for tracking purpose
It should have details of vendor, transport company, vehicle number, permits if required, etc
A Z report should give details of all RGP/NRGP based on material document number and date
Please guide me based on your experience.
Thanks,
Boby

Boby,
This can be met. But before developing this, have you implemented the refurbishment process of PM module? This will really help in tracking the equipment and also for the development of RGP/NRGP.
First you have to create a form for the gate pass and have to create an enhancement in MIGO for triggering the RGP/NRGP, else you can also create a separate Z transaction code for printing the Gate pass. You will get all the fields like vendor, material, QTY, movement type from the MIGO GI document.
For the gate pass the MIGO document will be the reference all the times, you can also develop a Z report for the records for the gate pass.

Praveen

Different segment in same document for leading and non-leading ledger

Hi,
Is it possible to have different segments derived in the same document for Leading and Non-leading ledgers.
Is there an exit where we can substitute the segment originally derived so as to update only in one particular ledger
Please suggest.

Thanks Alex for your response.
But would it be possible to update the segment only in one ledger, the other one carrying the default values coming from profit center?

Material Design for bonded and non-bonded warehouse

In some countries the materials put in bonded and non-bonded warehouse are treated differently, for example the cost, shipment, trace of the material.
In general, there are two designs. One is "Only One Material Number", and the other is "Two material numbers".
Which design you used?
My client is in China.

One material to extend it to two different plant, using evaluation class to diff the cost.
cons are
a. complex cost accounting for surcharge and freight distributed to material, not necessary for bonded-inventory
b. MRP will combine the PR for bonded and non-bonded.
two material ID
solves the previous problem.
cons are
a. one material have two id, makes little sense
b. big number of material, high volumn of data maintenance
