One installer and multiple users

I copied the Lion installer to a flash drive and I have a few different users at work that I want to upgrade. Can they buy Lion in the app store and then stop the download and use my copied installer to install Lion? Will there be any conflicts with future updates?

The problem is that one transaction is linked to one user (on license), and a gblink will have the transaction id (orderid) inside of it. I remember we were playing with a 'free' transaction type before I left, but I'm not if that got into 4.1 or not.
The easier solution is to not send a gblink URL to the users, but to send a link to a service on your server that responds with HTTP 302 (or 303) redirect to gblink URL that the service computes with a brand new transaction id.

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

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

My welcome screen used to have just my name and an icon. Now it has my name on one side and guest user on the other. where did it come from and how do I get rid of it?

Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

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.

Sharing iTunes on one machine with multiple users... problems...

Hi, I've recently done a fresh installation of XP, and have downloaded iTunes 7.1
It's set up as follows:
1 machine, 3 users:
Administrator(Admin account) ; Me (limited) ; My partner (limited).
I have set up the itunes folder in the shared documents as suggested in the apple KB article about multiple users on one machine.
As administrator, I imported a CD and it's artwork from the store.
Pointed all three users to the folder in the shared documents - exactly as per the KB article.
I went into my everyday account, and pointed itunes to the itunes folder in the shared documents.
it didn't see the tracks. I had to use the add folder to library in the file menu in order to get itunes to see it.
is this just something that has to be accepted, or is there a way of making the folder 'live' so that i don't need to keep updating my library manually? - almost like a refresh?..

Unfortunaely iTunes doesn't monitor for new files, so if you import a CD in one account, it will have to be added to the libraries of the other accounts manually - if the users want it.
I guess this is both good and bad as it means that each account can have its own music choices while at the same time sharing a common pool of music files.

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.

Template Builder (BIPublisherDesktop.exe) installation for multiple users

Hello,
I tried to install version 10.1.3.4 of the template builder on a Citrix server (Metaframe 4.0) running under Windows 2003 SP2, and with Office 2003. Framework .NET 2.0 and JRE Sun 1.6 are also installed.
It works, but, in Word 2003, the "Oracle BI Publisher" menu is only available for the user who have made the installation. Other users can"t see it ?
I have monitored the registry during installation, and most of the keys are created in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, explaining why others can't see it.
Is there a way to make one install available for all users ?
Thanks.

ITunes library on one computer with multiple users

Mom, Dad, and kids each have their own log-in to this computer. Mom is the main administrator and when we downloaded all the CDs to iTunes, it went to Mom's iTunes Library. Dad has logged in under his name and purchased items from iTunes store which are now in his library. We now have 2 separate iTunes Libraries. How can we make the iTunes library the same for both Mom and Dad?
Dad just got iPhone and wants to be able to sync his apps to his computer login as well as having access to Mom's iTunes library - it would seem to me that the easiest way to do this is to copy the library from Mom to Dad or somehow be able to have Dad share the itunes library. Can't figure out how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

To share an iTunes library among multiple users, put the iTunes library in /Users/Shared/Music/iTunes, and for each user, make an alias from ~/Music/iTunes to /Users/Shared/Music/iTunes. Set permissions on /Users/Shared/Music/iTunes (and everything inside it) to give each user read and write permissions, and you're all set. My wife have been sharing our iTunes library this way since 2005, without a hitch.
Also, you'll have to import the contents of one library into the other, to make one big library, which is an extra step, but there's no way to avoid this now that you have two libraries.
Here are step by step instructions:
1. Figure out which library is larger, and start with that one. I'm going to guess it's Mom's. Log in as Mom.
2. In the Finder, make a folder called /Users/Shared/Music.
3. Move the folder ~/Music/iTunes (that's your iTunes library) to /Users/Shared/Music/iTunes.
4. Select the folder /Users/Shared/Music/iTunes, and make an alias of that folder. (In the Finder, click on File->Make Alias.) The alias will be called "/Users/Shared/Music/iTunes alias".
5. Move "/Users/Shared/Music/iTunes alias" to "~/Music/iTunes alias". Rename the alias to ~/Music/iTunes.
6. At this point, check your work: start iTunes while still logged in as Mom. Mom should see her iTunes library, just as before, as if it had never been moved.
7. While still logged in as Mom, go to /Users/Shared, select the Music folder, and give Mom and Dad read and write permissions on that folder and all its contents.
8. Log out as Mom, and log in as Dad. In the Finder, move Dad's iTunes library from ~/Music/iTunes to the Desktop.
9. As Dad, repeat steps 4 and 5.
10. Now Dad should check his work, by starting iTunes. Dad should now see Mom's library instead of his own.
Congratulations! You now have a shared library. You not only share content, but all playlists, artwork, etc. As Dad, create a playlist, fill it with romantic music, and call the playlist "To My Beautiful Wife". Log out as Dad, and log in as Mom, and Mom will see the same playlist. Crack open a bottle of champagne.
But Dad's content is still in ~/Desktop/iTunes. You'll have to add it to your shared libary:
11. Log in as Dad, and in iTunes, turn on the preference iTunes->Preferences->Advanced->Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library.
12. Still in iTunes, choose File->Add to Library and start adding all the files in ~/Desktop/iTunes. They'll be copied from Dad's desktop into the shared library. Try importing a couple of tracks, and log in as Mom and confirm that both Mom and Dad see the imported content. (I myself have never done this, so I can't give you much guidance about importing, since I started our iTunes library as a single shared library from the very beginning. For all you know, you can just select every folder in ~/Desktop/iTunes and import everything at once. I would imagine you might have to futz around re-organizing everything nicely once you've imported all Dad's stuff, but once that's done, it's done.) Once everything is imported you can trash ~/Desktop/iTunes.
That's it. Any content you add will be instantly available to both users without having to sync or copy anything ever, because both users are always looking at the same library. (If one user deletes something it's gone for both users too, so be careful!) The only trouble you could possibly have are permissions issues, depending on how your system and users are set up. On my computer, after setting it up once, we never had to think about it again. However, we set up a separate account to be the administrator, and neither my wife or I have admin privileges. Since Mom is an administrator and Dad is not, you might find that OS X treats you differently when you create new files in your library. You'll have to try it and see. Good luck!

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.

One iTunes Library, Multiple Users

Is it possible to have one iTunes library (say the Administer's iTunes library) and share it with multiple users on the same computer?
Thanks.

One number/account, multiple users answering

Here's what I would like to set up for my business:
- A button on my business website that says "contact us now on Skype"
- Clicking that button activates a call or a chat session to a Skype account for my business
- That call or chat will be answered by whichever of my three colleagues are online at the time
I have searched high and low across the Skype website and forums, but haven't found anything like this. Did I miss it?
I realize I could just link it to one single Skype username, but what happens when that person is offline? It would be great if it could go to a single account that is accessed by multiple users, any of which could pick up the call/chat.

keinkohle wrote:
Thanks for the suggestion! Pretty May looks pretty good.
However, they unfortunately don't support Skype messaging. It would be great if customers could just type a quick message, that could be received then answered by one of three staff members.
Anyone heard of anything that can do that?
I am assuming you are expecting these end-users to send these messages to you via Skype?
While this can be done, it would require that you have a computer somewhere dedicated to be running a Skype client and another 3rd party program at all times.
The 3rd party program is a free program I created that does call transfer automatically, called SCTE ("Skype Call Transfer Example").
Inside the Lower text box named "Or Enter "ONE" Skype name or Phone #, you can actually enter as many Skype names and/or phone numbers as you wish, seperating them by a comma.
Example: SkypeName1,+13125551212,SkypeName2,SkypeName3,+16125551212
NOTE: Any phone numbers must have a leading (+) sign.
By checking the checkbox "Auto Transfer" any inbound call will be attempted to be transfered to ALL of the Skype Names and/or phone numbers listed above. The first one that answers, gets that call.
It's important to define "First One that Answers" by saying, if for example SkypeName2 was offline, but had Skype voicemail activated, then it is possible that the call could end up going to Skype voicemail even when the other Skype names are online or the other phone numbers are ringing if those others don't answer the call quickly. So, that's important to remember.
That said, you can remove phone numbers and Skype names at anytime to avoid any Skype names that are not currently online or any phone numbers where say that office is closed ("Say it's a weekend and nobody will answer the phone or it's a different timezone and that phone won't be answered at this time.").
Many use SCTE for example, for hotlines and on-call methods, as shifts change or offices are closed due to timezone difference, the Skype names and phone numbers are changed and inbound callers are redirected to the current support at that time.
SCTE can even be used by those that answered the call, and they can quickly re-transfer the call to members in custom Skype qroups you can create, or contacts in their contact list because SCTE shows the online status of who is currently available, for example, for questions that maybe the original person who had the call transferred to, can't answer. So they in turn, again transfer the called transferred to them, to someone else.
If the people answering the call are also using SCTE, they can quickly place a call on hold, answer another call, resume a call, end a call and transfer a call again, by simply selecting that call in progress from the SCTE active call window.
SCTE can also be placed in your system startup folder and if the Skype name is set to auto-logon SCTE will start Skype when SCTE starts so that Skype and SCTE are always available as soon as your Windows system starts.
SCTE retains any settings from the last time it was used, so it will always startup with any settings you have set from the last time it was stopped.
More information on SCTE and how it works can be found here:
http://saveontelephoneservices.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=11
The above takes care of calls so now lets deal with Skype Chat options.
Since there is no single entity, for example 1 Skype name that will always be around to answer all Skype Chat message at all times, you could create a Skype Group chat link that can be posted on web pages and in emails, but this would mean everyone can see everyones recent messages ("There are methods to disable prior older Skype Group Chat history, when new people join").
So if for example 2 people are asking questions in the Skype Group Chat, at that same moment in time, then both will see the others questions as well as the responses to those questions.
Once their questions are answered someone given what's known as master privilege abilility specifically to manage this Skype Group Chat can then, kick that person from the Skype chat ("They can always re-join later if needed") to keep the people in the Skype Group Chat, just the ones that have current questions, if needed.
The Skype Group Chat method is the best method for this because then there is no need to have you or the other Skype name(s) add each other as contacts before you can exchange Skype chat messages.
If you did a 1 to 1 Skype chat instead, for example, if that persons Skype name asking the questions had their privacy settings set to ("Contacts Only") you/they would need to exchange/approve contact details before communicating via Skype Chat messages.
Not sure if that's bad or good in your case?
So, you would need to respond, before I go into more details on how to deal with chats because my response will be based on your needs.

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.
