Apple helped set up userhomefolders on second volume of mini, i forgot how to create another user on command line

Alright, I am setting up a mac mini with snow leopard server and the telephone help got me started but did not use the system preferences. The intention is to set up accounts for up to 80 students. I thought the person guided me through some documentation but now I cannot locate the docs to read them. Can any one help this poor lost bit?

All,
I thought it may be related to spaces in the path in which the script was called from. I tried having the ODBC command script in another directory but the same thing happens. It will give me the "CONFIGSYSDSN: Unable to create a data source for the 'Oracle in OraClient10g_home1' driver: Could not load the setup or translator library with error code -2147467259". As soon as the script is done running I can manually double click the script and it adds the DSN fine.
Thanks,
Clif Bridegum

To enable iCloud on your Windows PC,
first set up iCloud on your other (Apple) devices,
then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows...

How to create portal user and integrate with external appl login

How to create portal user and integrate the user with external application for single sign-on ?
I want to access my external application thru portal user ..?
Shyam

Hi Jithin,
The link that you've shared talks about a different scenario.
In my case, I want to pass the portal user id when the user clicks on the Help Link present in the header area.
I am trying to pass it along with the Help Link Url property of a masthead iview but it is not getting passed to the target Url.
I would like to know if it is possible to pass the Portal User Id in this way or not.
Though if we create a appintegrator iview and pass the user id <User.UserID> along with the target Url, it reaches there.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Created help file either won't open or opens blank when emailed or copied for another user to see it.

Created help file either won't open or opens blank when emailed or copied for another user to see it.
Our HR person made a help file she wants to email to someone or copy to a network share.
-If she emails it the other person cannot open it.
-If she copies it even from her desktop where she saved it to the folder with all the other files, it opens blank.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think they must be swapping out .html for .chm in DW or something. What the OP describes sure sounds like what happens when you do that.
@dfiore27101
DW doesn't support .chm file types. Adding the extension doesn't compress the images into the file to create a true .chm.
Adding .chm will make a perfectly good .html file stop displaying in DW though.
An easier way to send someone .html help files would be to archive their folder as a .zip then email the .zip. The recipient would then need to extract the archive to view the files in their browser.
I don't know of any way to create real .chm files in DW.

How to create another session for a help page ?

Hello
I am trying to create help system for an application, which would be similar to apex's own help system. The main thing is that the help page/application/procedure would run independently of the calling application, and therefore it needs to create another session, I suppose ? How do you implement that ? I have also tried to find description of the package wwv_flow_help, but haven't found anywhere. Is it useful here ?
Thanks for any comments

If the link is from a page in your application then that's exactly what you want to do using javasScript to open a new window but keeping the same session ID in the request. In this way, when the new request is received by the Application Express engine, it will have the session cookie that goes with the specified session ID.

P.S. You can help us by telling us your first name and putting it into your handle and/or profile.

Apple replaced my hard drive now the Volume shows as offline. How do I restore it?

After Apple did a hard disk replacement under warranty the volume that contains all of my images shows as offline when I use the reconnect feature. How do I get the volume to show as on line so I do not have to manually reconnect several thousands of images? How do I reconnect all of the images?

The volume in question is your MacontoshHD, I take it? So it is online, since your system is running. Aperture does not recognize it as online, for it is looking for your old MacintoshHD with a different device ID, that will never again be online.
You should still be able to reconnect all of your offline images at once, when you select all at once in the Browser, before going to the "Locate Referenced Files" window.
In the "Locate Referenced Files" dialog uncheck the option "Show only files not found". Then you should be able to see all missing files like this:
In the lower part of the window navigate to the corresponding original file and select. Now you should see the "Reconnect all" button. Press it. Usually this reconnects all images at once.
Good Luck.

I cannot verify my Apple ID. I keep getting the error that the email is in use by another user. I can log into the store and use Itunes without issue. But I cannot manage my Id. Any suggestions?

When I try to log into Apple ID I get this message.
I have not recieved a verifcation email and nothing is recieved when I resend it.
The email address is correct and I use it daily.
After I get this error message I can proceed no further with managing my ID
Please Help!
Verify your email address.
A verification email was previously sent to [email protected] We can resend the verification email to the same address, or if this address is incorrect you can change your Apple ID and email address.

It may not be particularly helpful to you but I would not be surprised if the message number 2 refers to the verification you did that attracted message number 1.
Just a thought.

Help. Cannot create another user account

I am trying to add another user account but systems preferences will hang whenever I choose Accounts. It works fine otherwise (any other selections can be made with no problems). When I press accounts it will say loading accounts but never go anywhere from there....

then something is wrong with the accounts pref pane itself.
it's located in /system /library/preferencePanes.
try reinstalling it from the SL install dvd using Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
then reinstall 10.6.2 combo update. see if it works after that.

Setting audio output levels automatically at login (even with command-line)

When I log in, the audio level seems to be at the level set by the last user. Is there a way to get this to automatically set to my preferred level when I log in?
A related question: Is there a command-line method of setting the audio level?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

u could use scripting...
sudo osascript -e "set Volume 20"
using that at the command line will change the volume level to 20.
you could put that in a script or something and have it launch at login.

How can I set enable HTTP and/or HTTPS Proxies through command line?

I know the exact key/value to be changed; it's in
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist -> NetworkServices -> 46A40FA8-6E7C-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx -> Proxies -> HTTP(S)Enable -> should be set to 1
I immdediately thought of using defaults write to carry this out in the command line but I don't know how (or if at all!) that works with multi-level key/values. I only have access to the first level (NetworkServices) with defaults read.
Any help would be much appreciated,
thanks \.

The networksetup utility is the program OS X uses to change the network configuration. The Network Preference Pane in system preferences is just a front end to networksetup; networksetup can do everything the preference pane can do (and possibly more).
The parameters you are interested in (from the man page):
-getwebproxy networkservice
Displays Web proxy (server, port, enabled value) info for <networkservice>.
-setwebproxy networkservice domain portnumber authenticated username password
Set Web proxy for <networkservice> with <domain> and <port number>. Turns proxy on. Optionally, specify <on> or <off> for <authenticated> to enable and disable authenticated proxy support. Specify <username> and <password> if you turn authenticated proxy support on.
-setwebproxystate networkservice on | off
Set Web proxy on <networkservice> to either <on> or <off>.
-getsecurewebproxy networkservice
Displays Secure Web proxy (server, port, enabled value) info for <networkservice>.
-setsecurewebproxy networkservice domain portnumber authenticated username password
Set Secure Web proxy for <networkservice> with <domain> and <port number>. Turns proxy on. Optionally, specify <on> or <off> for <authenticated> to enable and disable authenticated proxy support. Specify <username> and <password> if you turn authenticated proxy support on.
-setsecurewebproxystate networkservice on | off
Set SecureWeb proxy on <networkservice> to either <on> or <off>.

Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

Hello everyone,
I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it.
They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook.
Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
I then setup the second btinternet email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
Please help
Thanks in advance
PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

Need help setting up WiFi - Xfinity with Network Switch, Time Capsule, Airport Express and Apple TV

Hello - I recently got Comcast Xfinity service. We had switched from a different service. Our wifi service was never great, but prior to Xfinity, it worked decently. But now that we have Xfinity, our wifi is much worse and very unreliable. I am seeking advice on how to setup my various Apple wifi devices in my home. I have attached a diagram that illustrates what I am dealing with. We have a large old house with stone walls. Comcast does not support this issue.
To explain the attached diagram, we have a total of 4 levels in our house - an unfinished basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, and 3rd floor. The Xfinity router is in the basement and it is connected to a NetGear 10/100 network switch. I already have ethernet cables running from the network switch in the basement to various locations throughout the house. So I have ethernet connected to my time capsule and ethernet connected to each of my 3 Airport express devices. The dark lines running from the network switch to the various devices represents ethernet cable.
The immediate problem that we are having is that we are unable to connect to our wifi networks. The networks show on my mac laptop and my iPhone, for example, but I am unable to connect. I know that I am inputting the correct password, but most of the time, we cannot get in. Sometimes we can..... Very frustrating! Also, due to the fact that I setup what I have over several years, I have multiple network names. I once tried to fix that issue, but was unable to tackle it due to my lack of understanding.
Here is what I am looking to accomplish:
1. Seamless wifi access throughout our house.
2. One name for our wifi network. Right now we have multiple names for multiple networks. Just want to simplify and have only one network. (I guess that an additional "guest network" would be ok, but not absolutely necessary.
Also, if you think I should disable the Xfinity wifi, and just rely on my mac wifi devices, I am perfectly fine with this. Just tell me how to do so.
I have no idea how where to start or how to set this up. I imagine that I would need to disconnect everything and reset and start from scratch? Can someone tell me what I should do? Even general advice would be helpful, but the more specific, the better, given my limited understanding. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

I cant seem to download my recent purchases from my ipad2 to my iphone 4s. Although my home sharing is on and so is my apps and music sharing in the itunes/apple stores setting?? HELP!!

I signed into my icloud and apple id, in both my home sharing and itunes/apple stores setting. Then i tried going to my itunes>downloads>purchased and it showed all my purchased music from my ipad. It had the icloud download button next to the music, so i clicked download all, but when downloads are finished no music has transferred over to my music center. Tried signing out of my icloud/apple id, turning off and on my phone, turning off my ipad, and resetting my phone, but still not luck.. Can anyone HELP!! Thanks!!

@roaminggnome...Can you explain how to do that? I have homesharing turned on, but not all of my music on my Mac appears on my Book. I made a playlist on the Mac called "mom's music" but that playlist doesn't show up on the Book...AND all of the music is on MY iphone, but most of it is missing on my husband's iphone.

Apple helped set up userhomefolders on second volume of mini, i forgot how to create another user on command line
