Can I use "~" in Automator instead of user's home folder?

I want to create an Automator action that I send to someone that can put a file in their iTunes Folder. If I create it on my computer however, Automator uses the actual file path to MY iTunes Library.
Is there a way to use the "~/Music/iTunes/" to have Automator use a relative link to THEIR home folder?
Can't figure this one out. Thanks

Use ~username/Music/iTunes
Be aware that you will have to change the permissions on ~username's Music and iTunes folders to allow you read and write access. All users be default have read only access to other users' iTunes folder and no access at all to the Music folder.

How can i use text only instead of text plus the folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar; older firefox allowed this.

I prefer using text only instead of text plus a folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar because it used less space and I can display more bookmark folders in that toolbar. Is that possible in Firefox 4.0? It was possible in the earlier versions of Firefox. If it is possible in Firefox 4.0 how do I do that? Thank you.

First install the "Stylish:" extension then you have thousands of styles available to choose from, most consist of only a few lines, and you can modify them to suit yourself.

If I can always use a passcode instead of Touch ID, how does Touch ID add security?

Am I missing something? Even if I have Touch ID enabled, I can always use my passcode instead of Touch ID. So, how does Touch ID *ADD* security?
I can understand always requiring passcode IN ADDITION to Touch ID at particularly sensitive moments (e.g. changing security), but by allwoing passcode to bypass Touch ID, it seems to me that Touch ID adds convenience but not security.
What am I missing?

If so, can someone explain to me why this is not mis-represenation? I don't mean to be inflammatory, but the dictionary definition of misrepresentation is "the action or offence of giving a false or misleading account of the nature of something" (from Google).
This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Answering questions about what companies have or have not said and the legality of those statements is way outside the purview of this forum. Additionally, speculating on Apple's policies is specifically a violation of the Terms of Use of this forum.
However, I think the first paragraph of this overview from Apple gives a good idea of way "convenience" is nothing to belittle. If it encourages people to use passwords who would not otherwise do so, those people's phones are certainly more secure.

Can I use iCloud to since many users to one account for my business and have me as a administrator to oversee and change peoples calendars?

Can I use iCloud to since many users to one account for my business and have me as a administrator to oversee and change my employees calendars and contacts??

Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID? (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

          Could you tell me what specifically should I use for Oracle database instead of
          jdbc:cloudscape:rmi:CloudscapeDB;create=true.
          Can I use jdbc:weblogic:oracle for jdbc:cloudscape:Commerce? I am not familiar with

Siri does Not work on the iPad 2. iOS 7 is not even out yet, so we have no way of knowing if you'll be able to upgrade to it.

Creating a user without home folder ?

Hi
Can i create a new "User " programatically(iam using to do this) without having a home folder for that user ? Let me explain what iam doing basically.MY application tracks complex deals,financial transactions between corporate firms.Any valid user(called as Member) to this system can create what is known as a "DEAL" for which associated documents have to be managed among other things.For this i start off by creating a new user in the IFS with user name as the deal itself(DealCode which is the DEAL's code is the User name ).(this account will have a home folder and will be /home/<DealCode>).This account will hold all documents pertaining to that DEAL .Now can i create users(rather Members) who can access this account for Deal ?I do not want the Members to have a home folder but when they login their home folder should automatically be the Deal's home folder for which they are authorised.So what is the best way of doing this ?and is this the right approach ?
thanks
Sampige

I'm trying to understand your model.
I think I understand this much.
Each Deal is has it's own folder.
Members create Deals.
A Deal will be accessed by Many Members.
What I'm not sure about is can a member access many deals, but I would expect this to be the case.
My gut feeling is that you do not represent each deal as user with a home folder. When a new deal is created I would create a folder for that deal and a new group which will be used to control who has access to that folder.
The group will be used to control which members have access to the folder containing the deal. If a member has access to the deal they should be added to the group which has access permissions on the folder.
When a member has access to deal their home folder will contain a link to the folder that contains the information for the deal
When a member logs in they will see one folder for each deal that they have access to in their home folder.
Does this help

ICloud for pages app not working on network users having home folder on Mac Mini Lion server

Does anyone know how to make iCloud for pages work on network users having home folder on server, having home folder on local Client iCloud for Pages works fine but when home folder is on Server iCloud for Pages app does not work. My Clients are Running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, my Server is a Mac Mini Lion Server.

Hi Tim,
No fix yet, my home folders reside on a thunderbolt external hard drive, I also tested having home folders on default server HD and no changes, I called Apple Support a while ago, they replicated the issue, it just does not work on network users, they did not say when will it be fix.
The version of Pages I am using is from the Apple Store.

An error occurred while backing up the user's home folder

I have a user account that I'm trying to remove from a computer. I have updated to 10.5.2, and restarted a number of times and repaired permissions. There were 3 accounts on the machine I'm trying to remove, and the first 2 deleted just fine. However, this last one, the most important one, will not delete and save to a dmg file.
The error message is "an error occurred while backing up the user's home folder" shortly after beginning the process.

any ideas?

This is the correct steps to solve this problem:
1. Cancel the update (with the backing up error, of course)
2. Do a manual backup
3. Do a manual restore (your password to unlock your backup file is your AppleID password, not your IPhone keypad password)
4. Now Update your phone. This time the backup should work.
5. After it is updated, it will automatically restore, if you choose to restore not to set up a new phone.
And yes, copy all your photos manually. Your backup probabally won't include photos.
If this still doesn't work, try to stop your anti-virus software.

Can't Use Video with other Mac users who use AIM

I know that ichat is compatible for video chats with other pc users who use aim, but does it work with other mac users who use aim?
Everytime I try to chat with my friend, I get an error message when trying to start of a video chat.
BTW, I use a iMac G5 with an isight camera.

Hi Staci,
For a Bit of Clarity.
AOL have their Instant Message App. referred to as AIM.
Apple decided and did a deal with AOL that iChat could join their service Buddy Lists.
On these Discussions we tend to refer iChat as Logging into AIM, as they are the servers that the Buddy Lists are held on.
As iChat can also use Bonjour and Jabber, both of which have their own Buddy list window on your Mac. The Jabber side needs you to have a Jabber screen name - so again people differentiate between this and the AIM side.
I would guess you friend is trying to make it clear that she is using the AIM side of iChat as opposed to the Jabber side.
As has been said already, the Application side of things also tend to get referred to generically as "AIM" as well.
The Mac version has stopped and 4.7 and will only Text chat.
The PC side needs 5.9 to clearly Video or Audio chat with a Mac using iChat. (AIM 6.0 is not stable enough to A/V chat to iChat).

TS1646 Can I use Debit card instead of Credit card ?

Can I use use debit card for apple store ?

You can try, but a number of users have reported that debit cards are no longer accepted. I advise against using a debit cards, though since if your iTunes Store account was to be compromised, your bank account could be quickly exhausted and many banks provide less protection for unauthorized debit card transactions than are provided for credit cards.

Oracle 10g - can I use a variable to identifywhat user's tablesto access?

I have the following code in a trigger (PL/Sql block) of a form:
select fieldname into myvar from user1.sometable;
is there a way to use a variable instead of hard coding 'user1'? And on the same topic, could this variable be declared globally?
Thanks in advance,
Darren

Hi again!
i've forgot something!
You are able to switch to another schema. If you are another user than user1, try:
alter session set current_schema = user1;after this there is no need to use synonyms or tableowners in front of the tablename in your sql-statements.
May you use this in a when-new-form-instance trigger in your first form like:
forms_ddl ( 'alter session set current_schema = ' || :parameter.your_schema );Regards
