Streaming from a Guest Account

Hello,
I am wanting to have a friend watch a live stream from my mac connected with HDMI cable to my TV. I can get to safari, get to the web page, in this case ESPN2. However, live stream only gets as far as "loading." I never get it loaded.
So, I attempted to watch the stream using my account (main account) and it came thru beautifully. Is there a setting that allows users of the guest account to also connect to live streaming?
I have the guest account set restricted to certain apps (my mailbox, etc.) for personal reasons.
Looking forward to reply.
thank you

Hello, Teen Titan!!  OMG, I apologize for the extremely long delay.  After the streaming in March, April, have not streatmed since, except for this past weekend.  Managed  with the sound only from the MBP. 
However, just yesterday  as your reply of April 4, 2011 suggests, I quit and re-opened Safari, but still no luck.  Must be some setting in my MBP that I am overlooking.  Reason I say this is because a friend of mine purchased for me the optical audio cable.  We streamed an ESPN2 site and beautiful sound from speakers! 
Then, we went to another site, a YouTube site, but audio reverted back to sound coming  only from MBP.  Turned off  all equipment and turned on again.  Went to the ESPN2 streaming (thinking maybe it's a YouTube issue), but this time, ESPN2 streaming did not produce audio from MBP to the external speakers.   I don't understand why it streamed picture and sound  5 mintues earlier, but not again. 
Thank you for your help!  I will troubleshoot more and if you have anymore to offer, please do so.

  • Streaming from multiple user accounts......problem

    With my initial set up I had no problem. I have a large iTunes Library. 48k songs. Over 270 GB of files. I synced a few photos and some music for the AppleTV slide shows but everything else I was going to stream. Streaming is working wonderfully from MY user account but if I try and stream a similar sized library from another user account on the same computer it is "NO JOY". I get the "loading library" dialog with the little circle of dashes going round and round but it eventually gives up and does not load. I have tried this with iTunes running on my user account and with iTunes turned off on my user account and either way the library from the other user account will NOT load. I am at a loss here. The set up for the second user went smoothly. I clicked add a library and got a key code on my TV screen. AppleTV showed up in the devices column in iTunes of the second user account and accepted the key code but like I said earlier the library will just not load for streaming. Streaming from my first user account is still working well. I have not found any discussion topics dealing with streaming from multiple user accounts. Hopefully someone who is doing this will chime in and help me out if possible.

    The only way I have been able to get this to work is to quit the iTunes that I am currently streaming from. Switch (on the computer) users to the library I want to stream from. Start iTunes on that user. If I follow this I can get AppleTV to load the library of the second user. If I do NOT quit iTunes from the first user it will not load the second user's library. If I have iTunes from the second user running at the same time I quit the first user's iTunes it will NOT load the second users library. I guess it is a bug and will need to be fixed with the next software release. I would like to be able to switch among user libraries at will and independent of which user is currently using the computer.

  • Is there any way to recover files from the guest account on a Mac, after the machine has been logged out?

    I had uploaded some photos onto iPhoto on the guest account for my visitors, intending to burn them on departure.
    I updated my Mac with a system software update, which required reboot so I of course types in the admin username/password to do so.
    I received no warning message "caution: all temporary files in guest account will be deleted if you logout" as if you logout directly from the guest account, so I had forgotten about the guest account wipe.
    Just today I switched to the guest user, and was dismayed to find the files gone.
    Surely there must be some way to recover these files? Can anyone help?!
    Thanks
    Alan

    They possibly still exist on the hard drive if you haven't overwritten that space already.
    Your only hope is to try a file recovery program like Data Rescue 3 or some sort like that.

  • How can a LabVIEW applicatio​n be run from the guest account in Windows 7?

    I want to make some of my labVIEW applications (no DAQ or external hardware involved) available to temporary visitors in the lab. A natural choice would be the guest account of Windows 7, but if I try to run LabVIEW or any of my built LabVIEW applications, I get the following error dialog.
    I am sure this can probably be fixed with a few permission settings. What is the easiest way to allow running these applications from the guest account?

    Ah, I missed that article somehow. Thanks!
    I actually already made a "labguest" account yesterday with normal user permissions and that works fine.

  • I'd like Time Machine to backup my personal account's files separately from my guest account's files. Both have big files.  What's the best way to do this?  Should I connect 2 external HD to my new iMac, one for each account?

    This is a common mistake and I highly advise against it.
    1: TimeMachine saves states of changes and thus requires more room on the TM drive than the boot drive it's backing up.
    2: Something happens to the TM drive, loss, theft, dropped, power surge, etc., you lose both backups.
    3: The storage drive might become a portable need, with it being on the TM drive, now your increasing the risk to the TM backup that something could happen to it along with the storage drive, due to increased movement.

  • How do I transfer a file from a guest account on a MacBook Air?

    I'm logged into the guest account of a borrowed MacBook Air which is running OS X Version 10.9.2 and I've been trying to transfer a 2.19GB video file to an admin account, a USB or external hard drive, or online.
    1. Transferring the file to the admin account: Apparently if I log out of this guest account, the file will be deleted. So, I tried transferring it to a shared folder, but I can't find/access a shared folder... perhaps because I'm on a guest account? I tried using Terminal and codes I copy-pasted from Google, but they all require the password of the admin account, which the owner can't remember. We've been working together the whole afternoon to try to remember the password, but the owner says he'd be able to guess it if he had the "password hint". Unfortunately, we only know how to view the "password hint" by logging out of the guest account, which we obviously can't do, or else the file will be deleted.
    Transferring to the admin account: FAILED
    2. Transferring the file to a USB or external hard drive: I've tried both ports with 3 different USB's, and none of them were recognized by the Mac. I've also tried plugging in a WD external hard drive in both ports, but neither recognized the hard drive. All in all, nothing between 3 USB's and 1 external hard drive showed up on the Mac. Could this have anything to do with being logged into a guest account?
    Transferring the file to a USB or external hard drive: FAILED
    3. Uploading online: I've had two tabs open for the past 15 minutes: YouTube and Google Drive. Neither are showing any progress towards the upload. As I'm typing, both currently remain at 0%. I've also tried uploading the file through email, but Yahoo crashes before the upload even begins. In addition to this, I've tried uploading with Filemail.com multiple times. Each time it says it has "problems uploading"
    Uploading online: FAILED
    Is there anything I can do? Is there another method I can try? Perhaps theres a way to view the password hint without logging out of the guest account? Is there another way to access the "shared files" folder without needing the admin password? Is there anything that can be done about the USB's and the hard drive that won't show up? Is there a reason why the file won't upload online? I would really, really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance!

  • How do I sync from a guest account

    Can I sync my ipod from a guest apple account?

    If this is the Guest account installed with OS X, then it's not to be deleted. If you created your own separate guest account, then you can delete it. Just click on the lock icon and enter your admin password. Select the account and click on the Delete [-] button.

  • Display color profile bug when using the fast account switch from a guest account to an admin account (and vice versa)

    Hey,
    I'm sometimes using a guest account on my MBP (unibody late 2008 2,4 GHz Core2Duo, 4GB DDR3 running OSX 10.9.4 on an OCZ 128GB SSD) for a more distraction-free working space and I noticed right away a disturbing bug:
    Using the fast account switch (upper right hand corner of the screen) in Mavericks from an admin account to log into a guest account (or vice versa) produces, after the fancy rotating cube animation, some strange distortion of the desktop background happens (lasting approx. 2 sec.). After that the color profile of the display is changed into an usable but ugly one, which is disturbing while working with pictures. When checking the color profile in the pref pane, the standard "display" profile is said to be active (it's the one I use) but still the colors aren't the same. Selecting another profile and re-selcting the desired one doesn't fix the problem. Switching back to the other account with the fast switching leaves the colors altered. Logging out and deleting the guest account seems to the problem for the remaining admin account. Rebooting  and logging in to either of the accounts (admin or guest) from the standard account selecting page at booting shows the normal color profile.
    Is it a general bug or is their anything a can do to prevent this problem (other than never using the fast switching)?
    Thanks for your advice.

    I cannot agree more with your comments! What a way to frustrate your customers!
    I have been having an issue with iCloud on Mac where it kept asking me for my password and sometimes would, sometimes would not continue to access my iCloud mail. Today it just refused to connect to iCloud mail.
    I looked in the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in my MacBook Pro settings and discovered that 2 iCloud accounts were present. One with my original Apple ID (a gmail address) and a second with my new iCloud email ( an @me.com address). Having deleted the second account, using the new @me.com address everything is working fine.
    So from my viewpoint when I moved over to iCloud I was asked to sign in with my Apple ID (the gmail address) then to create an @me.com address. However, as far as I can see all sign ins to the new @me.com account on Macbook, iPhone and iPad need to be done through the old Apple ID (the gmail address). Is that confusing and just plain crazy???
    Further, after creating the new @me.com address I soon found out that this is apparently now forever bound to my old Apple ID and cannot be changed. I mean why can't I delete the iCloud account and start anew with a different @me.com address??? Also, as everybody using iCloud must create an @me.com address why on earth can I not get rid of my old gmail address and have my entire Apple ID accessed through the new @me.com address? Creating a whole new Apple ID will not solve this as we are unable to transfer purchases between accounts.
    Apple products are great IMHO, but they do seem to not think things through in a very big way sometimes......

  • How to manage photo stream from 2 iCloud accounts in Aperture 3

    For the time being, my wife and I used to share the same iCloud account,
    This was very convenient to share the family's calendar, contacts, and photos!
    But from iOS 7, the sharing of Apple ID for the family looks compromised, iMessage and FaceTime are using common IDs on all devices connected with the same account...
    I'm now considering creating an account for each of us and could find a solution for calendar, contacts, BUT not for photos!
    Any idea to get Aperture accepting the photo stream coming from 2 Apple IDs?

    Any idea to get Aperture accepting the photo stream coming from 2 Apple IDs?
    IOS 7 supports writing of persons with different AppleIDs to the same  shared photo stream.
    And I expect that iPhoto and Aperture will soon support this too.
    From the IOS ipad user guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Share streams of photos and videos with people you choose. Friends you’ve chosen who have an iCloud account—and iOS 6 or later or OS X Mountain Lion or later—can join your stream, view the photos you add, and leave comments. If they have iOS 7, they can add their own photos and videos to the stream. You can also publish your stream to a website for anyone to view.

  • How to print from a guest account without needing password

    Every time someone uses my computer as a guest and tries to print it always asks them to "hold for authentication".  How do I get around this?

    Go into Control Panel > Printers.  Delete either the problem computer or both computers from the list.
    Re-add them:
    1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
    2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
    3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
    4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
    5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
    6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
    7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
    8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
    9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
    10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
    11. Click "Next"
    12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

  • Streaming content to ATV from 2nd iTunes account

    My AppleTV is synched with my iTunes account. However, my daughter also has an iTunes account on our Mac, and she wants to be able to stream her music and movies over the AppleTV. Can't figure out how to do this from the AppleTV documentation. Can someone please offer detailed help/instructions? Many thanks.

    Yes -- I know that one can only stream from the second account. I did some poking around on the iTunes Help system and found the excerpt included below. Solved the problem, and I can now stream my daughter's content via our AppleTV (the device remains synched to my iTunes account). Start at the line that reads "To set up your Apple TV for streaming" for the solution.
    Playing your iTunes library on your TV
    If you have an Apple TV, you can stream items (songs, movies, TV shows, and more) from your iTunes library to your TV. You can also sync your Apple TV with your iTunes library so that your iTunes content is automatically loaded onto your Apple TV.
    Syncing your Apple TV with iTunes
    If your Apple TV is synced with an iTunes library, it is already set up for streaming. You can also stream items from an iTunes library that isn't synced with your Apple TV. You can stream from up to five iTunes libraries, plus the library the Apple TV is synced with.
    To set up your Apple TV for streaming:
    Make sure the computer you want to stream from is turned on, and iTunes is open.
    Go to iTunes > Preferences, choose Apple TV, and make sure “Look for Apple TVs” is selected.
    On your Apple TV, choose Settings > Computers > “Add Shared iTunes Library,” and then note the passcode displayed.
    In iTunes, select the Apple TV with “Click to set up” next to it, and enter the passcode.
    While content is being streamed, the computer must remain on (not in Sleep mode) and iTunes must remain open. If you stream content while Apple TV is syncing, the sync pauses until streaming stops.

  • Backups from Guest account

    I noticed that the only way to ensure my filevault accounts are backed up by Time Machine is to issue a "Backup Now" from the TM menu and immediately logout. This is very tedious since I have multiple accounts.
    However, I'm curious if issuing a "Backup Now" from the Guest account will capture the latest image of all logged-out filevault accounts.

    you don't have to do "back up now". TM backs up filevault accounts when you log out of them. also, when TM backs up it backs up the whole computer with exception of filevaulted accounts that are currently logged in. sparse bundles with filefaulted accounts can only be backed up when they are unmounted.
    In particular, it makes absolutely no difference if you use "Back up now" from a regular account or from a guest account. TM will back up the whole computer either way.

  • How do I allow "Guest" account to access my music?

    I can't believe I am having such a difficult time with this.
    I'd like all the accounts I have set up to be able to access my music library. And if I add music I'd like each account to access the new music without having to update each library. I've read other posts and I can't quite grasp how I share the library.
    If I can't share it, how do I move the library from my folder to the guest folder?

    It's even worse!
    I tried putting the music folder into the shared folder.
    I still couldn't access them from the guest account. And worse, I can't get them back into my original account. They are not erased (thank god!), I can see them in a folder, just can't pull them up on itunes.
    Should I do the "consolidate music"? I'm leary of making a whole copy as I don't have enough hard drive space.
    Now I am going to rant....This should not be that difficult!!!

  • How to use guest account on my mac and Logic

    How do I manage, when setting up a guest account on my mac with some restrictions not to be able to use mail,internet etc other private things, to still let the guest be able to use Logic with my setup?
    When trying to start Logic from a guest account I just made, it starts the logic setup manager again and AU validation tool and starts messing with some plugins I have already authorized - such as spectrasonics plugins, virtual guitar etc. Is there no way to just make let the guest user on this account be able to use Logic just as I already have had it setup with all my settings and plugins?
