2 user accounts on Mac Air one

I have 2 user accounts on my Mac Air one for myself and the other for my daughter. I have installed MS office in my account how do I give access to her. Do I have to install it again in her user account?
Thanks

If you install an application to the Applications folder in your Home folder then only you can use it.
If on the other hand you install the application to the Applications folder at root then everyone with an account on that Mac can use it.

  • How to permanently/manually delete User Account on MAC OS X 10.6.8

    Hi There,
    Can you please assist with providing instructions on how to manually delete USER accounts on MAC OS X 10.6.8.  Everyone but one user (who's account was deleted) can not log into the damain device.  As a test I tried to add a new user accout with the same name as before and even though nothing existing in the USERS folder; it states that a duplicate name exists.
    How do I delete that duplicate?  Where could that be located?
    Please let me know,
    Sonia

    Solution!
    Command to locate the hidden User Profile:
    dscl . list /users
    Command to delete the now found hidden User Profile:
    sudo dscl . delete /users/<userID>
    Thanks,

  • I can't access "Advanced Options" in my User Account for Mac OSX

    I cannot access the "Advanced Options" menu when I right click on my user account in System Preferences.  When I right click, the option shows up, but nothing happens when I click on it.  It does allow me to access it for other users, as I am the administrator. 
    I think I have a problem with my login shell, because I also cannot access Terminal.  I was trying to access the Advanced Options to select a user shell.  Any ideas?

    Hi Will,
    You would simply need to create a new user account (with a different name) and then transfer all of the data from your current user account, to the new one.
    You could try a permissions repair first, or resetting the ACLs for your account.
    Open Disk Utility, and choose Macintosh HD, then 'Repair Disk Permissions' and let that run.
    For the ACLs:
    Insert the OS X install disc, restart and hold down 'C'. Once booted to the install disc, choose Utilities -> Reset Password. In the bottom of that window, you should see "Reset Home Folder ACLs", click 'Reset', then click the Mac OS X Install DVD" and choose 'Quit Installer'

  • Is it possible to access user account in an air android app ?

    Is it possible to access user account in an air android app in as3 ?
    The only thing I've found on internet is that one has to add to its manifest permissions to acccess account :
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
    and this documentation for native android coding :
    http://developer.android.com/training/id-auth/identify.html
    thanks for any help.

    There is no API in the AIR runtime to get user's accounts.
    But you may write an ANE to get the same.

  • Sharing multiple user accounts to AppleTV on one Mac

    I can't remember if I did this before with software 1.0/1.1, but I'm sure the possibility of having two concurrently active iTunes libraries on a single machine has been discussed as one way of separating out content.
    To do some more testing on software 2.00 + libraries I have just created a new user account with a new iTunes library, and registered it as a shared AppleTV library on AppleTV 2 running 2.01 (I've not updated to 2.02 yet for a reason).
    So imagine this setup:
    Single iMac.
    User Account A - called iMac - the main sync/share library.
    User Account B - called Test - the sharing library.
    Both Users iTunes apps open (switching between users obviously without logging out).
    AppleTV listed under devices in both iTunes instances.
    Both iMac and Test libraries solid white in 'Computers' setting on AppleTV.
    Can play iMac content logged into User account A having switched from B.
    I select My Shared Music - long wait - says it's not connected to shared Test library, and checking Computers 'Test' is now greyed out.
    Switching to user B the AppleTv is still listed under Devices. I still cannot connect to My Shared Music and 'Test' Library remains greyed out. I can still while logged into B play the sync/share content of User A - I had expected I would be able to do the converse.
    Both iTunes libraries show the other library under shared libraries in iTunes.
    This is baffling me.
    Rebooted etc etc etc.
    iTunes can see the shared library of the other user account but AppleTV can't.

    Just to be clear, are you saying you can't connect to the test library regardless of which user account you have active.
    That's right.
    The main sync/stream library content is available on AppleTV regardless of which account I'm logged into on the iMac. I have nothing at all synced so know that I'm seeing the "main" iMac library streaming.
    Both libraries show up as shared libraries in the other's iTunes shares, and I can load the 'test' library under the other account iTunes instance and play music back which proves to me that the other account isn't dormant.
    I've just updated iTunes as I hadn't done the last update but no difference.
    Am now updating AppleTv to 2.02, I just hope that that doesn't disable simultaneous audio via optical and HDMI.

  • ITunes Sharing: 2 user accounts, 1 mac

    I've turned on Fast Switching, I've enabled sharing in the Preferences...and I still can't get the sharing to work.
    It seems to me that it's been broken since I upgraded to Tiger. Does anyone have any pointers.
    I'm not trying to share 1 library amongst 2 users, I'm just trying to allow 2 user accounts on one machine to see (and listen to) each others' libraries.
    Thanks
    -Ray

    Ray:
    While the article was written for iTunes 4.5, it does not imply that you can simply activate FUS to share music. It is very clear that unless your music files are in a public folder, the are not going to be accessible by other users on the computer.
    To quote from the article:
    To share your music with other accounts on the computer:
    1. Quit iTunes.
    2. Locate your iTunes Music Folder. It is stored by default:
    ~/Music/iTunes or ~/Documents/iTunes/.
    b These folders cannot be accessed by other accounts on the computer. In order for other users to be able to access your music, you must move it to a publicly accessible location.
    The Public folder in your home directory (~/Public), or to another folder outside your home directory
    b that other users have access to,
    such as /Users/Shared. Tip: The tilde "~" refers to your home folder. For more information see Mac OS X: Using Your Home Directory.
    3. Drag the iTunes Music Folder to a publicly accessible location. Important: Do not move the iTunes folder, the iTunes 4 Music Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file.
    4. Open iTunes.
    5. From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    6. Click Advanced.
    7. Click the Change button.
    8. Navigate in the Change Music Folder Location dialog to the location of your iTunes Music folder.
    9. Click Choose.
    Repeat these steps for each account that is sharing music with other users.

  • Itunes libraries on new user account on Mac

    Hi everyone, got a complicated one for you, or I think so.  I bought my Mac from a relative.  I set up users for all the family but I kept his user account and just changed it to be mine as an administrator.  All was fine and managed to transfer my itunes data and sync my iphone and then it was the primary itunes library for it.  But as time went on I was fed up having his name appear on the system when it should have been mine as I now owned it so I created a new administrator/user account for me and deleted his.  Worked fab. 
    But then I tried to sync my iphone and it wont do it.  It comes up with the message that my iphone is already associated/synced with an itunes library on the Mac and can only be associated with one library.  The problem is I have no idea what to do now.  Ive deleted the old user account, ive no idea where I can find out where on the Mac that library is etc etc.  I have tried to transfer purchases from the iphone onto the Mac but it only picks up a very small amount of the music I ave on it.  Can anyone help please.  Hope this makes sense and thank you in advance.  Operating OS X 10.9.2

    The library was in the user account you deleted.  You should have transferred the iTunes folder before deleting the account.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Adding a new user account or just sharing one account?

    Hello - looking for the best practice with this - my wife has an old PC laptop which is nearing the end of its life. She will probably just share my iMac with me. If so, her photos will be imported into iPhoto and her iTunes library will have to be migrated over. She also has an iphone with her own set of contacts in it. Three questions for folks out there who have multiple users on their macs:
    1. Would it be best if she just had her own account on the mac or can we just share one account?
    2. If we go the route of two separate accounts, will Time Machine be able to backup this new account?
    3. Can one iTunes library and one iPhoto library be shared across two separate accounts?
    Thank you.
    Steve

    1. It is usually best to have two separate accounts.
    2. Yes.
    3. Possible, but usually simpler to maintain separate libraries.

  • 3 user accounts on Mac with separate iTunes libraries

    I have 3 user accounts on a Mac with separate iTunes libraries.  Home sharing is turned on for all 3 and all use the same home sharing login Apple ID).  On both Apple TV 2's all 3 libraries appear under "computers", however, only one is accesible (always the account that has been first opened on the computer) with the others saying "Could not connect to "xx Library".  When I have one home sharing turned on for this computer it is always accesible from the Apple TV and I can open up iTunes with the same home sharing ID from another Mac in the home and it will appear on the Apple TV with no problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your response ckuan.  These 3 libraries are using separate user accounts on the computer and when all 3 accounts have itunes open at the same time, the iPads have no problem seeing all 3 itunes libraries through home sharing, and for a brief moment yesterday, I was able to get one of the Apple TV's to connect to all 3, however that did not last long before only one was available and the other two eded up having the "could not connect error".  Do you have any other ideas?  I have already submitted this problem to Apple as I am sure that before the update (whether it was the Apple TV update or the iTunes update) I had no problem doing this.

  • Need help with network user accounts on Mac server App on Yosemite, any tips?

    I've been trying to set up a small network with the Server app on Yosemite. I don't want to do anything crazy with the server, I'd just like to know how I can set up network user accounts so that they can login from other Mac computers on the same network. I already have Open directory set up, the Macs that will be used on the network with the server have already been joined to the server under login options. I have created the network user account, I have also joined the user account to a group that I created. When I try to login to the network account from one of the Macs, it doesn't work. I'm pretty rookie with Mac server, can anyway give me any pointers of what I should be doing? Or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks guys.

    The most important step, once you've got Open Directory and DNS set up, with Local Network Users set up in Server.app, is to make sure that all client Macs are using the server's IP address as the primary DNS server in System Preferences > Network, and that they have joined the Network server in System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Options.
    Having said all that, I have just spent hours setting this all up only to find out that Mail doesn't currently work with Network Homes in 10.10.3 / Server.app 4.1.
    I will be hoping that Apple recognise the bug, and put out a fix soon.

  • How to create new user account and delete old one?

    Greetings,
    we have wanted to change our alias on the discussions group but understand from the frequently asked questions section that,
    "Once you create an alias, you cannot make changes to it. If you want to change your alias, you will need to create a new User Account".
    However it does not go on to tell us specifically how to now set up a "new User Account". Could someone specify how to do this? And if we do this, how would we then delete the current User Account? Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply.
    However I am still confused. I originally thought the "user account" referred to an account specific to the Discussions Forums, not the general "Apple ID" however your email seems to suggest they are one and the same....Please clarify.
    If so, however I do not think I am able to change my Apple ID. As I am a mobile me user I am required to us my mobile me address for my apple ID.....and do not think I can have two ID's with the same mobile me address.....
    Any additional thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
    Chris
    Not with the same Primary address, but you can use your MM address as a secondary one. That is how I have my 2 Apple IDs setup. 1 uses my Dot Mac address and the other uses an ISP address as the Primary with the latter having my Dot Mac address as an alternate address.
    Warning, even if you create a new account, you won't be able to use your current ALIAS with the new account.

  • Script to delete user accounts on mac

    I am looking for a script that will delete user profiles on mac clients. Such as there home folders and any other clutter that is made when they logon. Since all users logon with there AD account and save to a servver. I am hopign to clean up stuff that's made on the client macs. all my labs are tiger except for one that is panther. Any one have a script that could be ran via ard or could be ran after the user logs off. My mac server that manages the labs is a leopard server. If that helps I just noticed if i delete folders under users on my panterh lab that users are able to logon other wise some times they seam to hang at logon.

    I don't know if you will appreciate this answer or not, but have you considered upgrading to Leopard? Leopard has a guest account feature. The guest account is cleared of all user data and erased on logout, and then re-created fresh on the next login.

  • How to transfer itunes library to different user account on mac

    how do i transfer all my music, album art, play count, movies, apps, to a different user account on my mac?

    Is there a way to have purchased songs located in the Music list on iTunes of two Users and three locations: 1. on the same iMac computer that has two users (we both share the same iTunes account) and 2. on a separate laptop. Two users, same iTunes account, three locations. Possible? I have tried Home Sharing and it will not let me drag the songs from one account to the other; either on the same computer, or to the laptop. I have transferred TV Shows from the laptop to the imac using an iPod. I thought the Home Sharing feature would eliminate this need to manually transfer songs, movies, TV shows etc... What am I missing here?

  • Syncing iPad with two user accounts on mac iTunes

    Hi,
    We have a couple of iPads at home for the family and have ended up in a bit of a mess.  I want to clean the setup up once and for all so thought it best to check for some advise before doing anything.
    We have two main user accounts on our home computer - one has iTunes containing quite a bit of media (tv and films - some purchased from iTunes, some ripped from DVDs).  The other account is my wife's for using - she has her own photos on iPhoto, her own iTunes music etc.
    For her iPad we would ideally have it sync with her iTunes on her mac user account but to have it just sync her tv shows with the tv shows from my user account iTunes on the mac.
    From the options this seems theoretically possible but need to be sure before I get going.
    If it is possible - how would this still work with wifi syncing?
    Thanks in advance.
    Andrew

    Yes I moved the iphoto library to a mounted volume, as suggested in the apple support pages, and it works fine now.
    I also made sure the volume was mounted at log on automatically. The only downside is that I have to make sure may wife doesn't log on and use iphoto whilst I am logged on.

  • Can I share user account between mac and PC

    Hi, I would like some help. I have a mac mini and will add osx server on to it soon. Now I also have two Windows PC's and would like to connect everything. I would like to use the mac as my main working device (and as a server) I would then like to be able to logon to my mac account on the PC's. So share user account from the mac onto the PC's?
    Is this possible? If so is there a very details tutorial somewhere I can't seem to find one.
    P.S NOT just file sharing. I don't want the user account or fils to be on the PC's.
    Regards
    Aled

    Windows prefers to authenticate with Microsoft Active Directory.   This configuration is possible, but probably not in the price or complexity range that you might want.   Not unless you're inclined to run both OS X Server and Open Directory and Windows Server with Active Directory (or the Active Directory compatibility available with Samnba installed on a Linux server), which won't be a small investment or a small effort.
    If you want to research this, look for information on the so-called "magic triangle" or "golden triangle" configuration.   I'm not aware of a short tutorial for this, as neither AD nor OD tend to be particularly small projects to configure and deploy.
    Probably closer to your budget, a password manager or the keychain in OS X can store the access credentials.
