Can I Set Up Multiple MacBook User Profiles Without Compromising Security?

I backed my computer up and errased everything because I always have young kids on my computer. I have many Music Projects recoded in Pro Tools & Logic that were being messed with so I took them off.
I want to make it where I can back up my content to a seperate profile that is locked with a security password, and have another user profile without a password that the kids can use without compromizing my projects. I am not sure if this is possible?
I know how to set up multiple User Profiles but I am not sure how to (if I even can) have separate content guarded by lock and key?

If you make their account either managed or standard then they won't be able affect your personal user account which should be admin. Only admin accounts can control other users.

    Of course.
    And instructions can depend on which OS X is installed.
    For v10.7 Lion > OS X Lion: Create a new user account
    For v10.8 Mountain Lion > OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
    When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.

  • How can I set up multiple spaces (desktops) on my new MacBook Pro 10.9.5?  I have six set up on my other computer MacBook Pro 10.8.5 but can't find how to do it on this new one.  Would appreciate help on this.  Cheers.

    It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
    The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):

  • Can I set up my Macbook Pro to boot to Win 7 from an external drive?

    Rather than partition my internal drive for having to work with Windows & Office 2010 (specifically Access 2010) can I set up my macbook pro to boot to Win 7 from an external drive?

    No, not with Boot Camp. I've never even tried it with a VM (which I use) - I keep all the data on my internal drive. I'm not saying that it couldn't be done with a VM, I've just never tried it.

  • Date & Time: Can't Change Year on a User Profile

    I have multiple profiles on my Mac.  One of the profiles has a year of "2556," even though I have it set to sync automatically via time.apple.com.  Now when I log into a different user profile, the year is current "2015."  I've unchecked to "set date and time automatically" and tried to change it manually on the user profile in question, but unable to change it.
    Any suggestions on how to force a change on a profile?

    Good link.  The Language & Region was a good place to look.  Attempting to restore defaults was not an option.  However the Region was pointing to Africa.  Once I changed that, everything else fell in place.
    Thanks!

  • How to set ENV variable using user profile in solaris 10 while using ssh

    Hi,
    Please help me in setting the environment variable using user profile file while using ssh method of connection (Can I use the same ~/.profile file?)
    when i am logging in using the telnet, the environment variable is automattically set, but not when I am using SSH.
    Thanks in advance
    ushas symon

    Please list your .profile and a ls -la of your home directory.
    also list the result of env after your logged through telnet and ssh.
    There should be no difference - it depends mostly on your login shell which startup script it executes. ksh uses .profile, bash: bash_profile then .profile.
