Can you set disk usage limits for user accounts?

i work in the media department at my college and were trying to set up disk limits for our classes. we have powermacs with 6 class login accounts. we want to limit each account to occupy up to 20gbs of disk space. can this be done? i should add too that we are on a budget.

A UNIX quota system is included with OS X. I have never fooled with it but perhaps this will help:

Can you set up a new I Tunes account, but still use the same email address, as having problems with it keep telling me it has been disabled, no matter what I do to chnage the passwords, I haven't used the account since 2010?

Hi eddinchina,
You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
You may use the same email address with both accounts.

How can you set the max row for a 'open cursor' in a stored proc?

I would like to know how can you set the maximum amount of row returned in a resultset coming from a stored proc?
You can do it via JDBC with cStatement.setMaxRows(10); but it works only for select that you do via JDBC...
I would like the same functionality using open cursor inside a stored proc...
Thanks...

is "where ROWNUM <= 10" the equivalent of "cStatement.setMaxRows(10);" because the ROWNUM as problem with the ORDER BY clause and the setMaxRows() as no problem...

Can you set up a template for live performance in GarageBand for iPad Air?

II'm trying to set up a template for live performance using GarageBand on my iPad Air. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

QuickTime is AppleScript aware and has its own "dictionary". Many scripts and droplets have already been compiled and you can download them from this link:
http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
Some need further editing to update them to version 7 features but it's not difficult using the Script Editor app.
Tiger's new Automator app could also be used but its feature set is rather basic. Newer actions are available for download from the Mac OSX Downloads page.

Can you set specific viewing options for a pdf linked from the HTMLResouces folder?

Can you change the default view to 2-up facing pages, or open it to a specific page in the pdf?

It's not something we'd likely invest time in supporting in the forseeable future.

How can I view and manage disk usage from all user accounts at once?

I need to clean up the internal drive on my 2009 MBP. We have 6 accounts on that machine. Rather than go into each account separately and do some house cleaning, is there some kind of Admin option to view and clean up files for all accounts from one central location?
Thanks very much,
Bo

I guess I am trying to find out if there are any admin tools available for "regular" OS X. Not OS X server.
Thanks

Can't set up email manually for Suddenlink account on iPhone 3G

I've been trying to set up my new iPhone 3G to access a Suddenlink
email account with no luck. I keep getting a message that it can't
find the server. It is an easy set up and shouldn't be that difficult.
I set it up the same way I set up the email client on my computer
for a POP account. Has anyone done this for a Suddenlink account?

I finally got incoming AND outgoing email to work. To the instructions below from tylermacman
you have to add TURN OFF PRIMARY OUTGOING SMTP SERVER AND TURN ON AT&T SMTP Server.
SO- SETTINGS>Mail,Contacts>Acct>scroll down to SMTP click>Turn Off Primary>Scroll down to Other SMTP Servers AT&T>Click on AT&T>Turn On.
I don't own an iPhone, so I had to borrow one from a co-worker. Please follow these steps:
1. From your iPhone desktop, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
2. Select your Suddenlink email account and remove it by scrolling down and tapping the Delete Account button.
3. Tap Add Account and select Other.
4. Enter the appropriate answer for each box, as follows:
Name - Your name
Address - Your Suddenlink email address
Password - Your Suddenlink Password
Description - This is the nickname for the account (for example, Home)
5. Tap Save to continue.
6. On the next screen, tap POP.
7. Scroll down to Incoming Mail Server and enter the following:
Host name - pop.suddenlink.net
User name - your Suddenlink email address
Password - your Suddenlink Password (if not auto-entered)
8. Scroll down to Outgoing Mail Server and enter the following:
Host name - smtp.suddenlink.net
Username - your Suddenlink email address
Password - your Suddenlink Password (if not auto-entered)
9. Tap Save to continue.
10. Tap Yes for Cannot connect using SSL.
11. Tap OK to dismiss the POP account verification failed warning.
12. Tap Save, then Save again to continue.
13. Tap the account you just created.
14. Scroll down and tap Advanced.
15. Scroll down and tap Use SSL to turn it to the OFF position. Note that the Server Port field changes from 995 to 110. The authentication method should already be set to Password.
16. Tap Home, then Mail, then Settings, then return to the iPhone's Home screen and you should be able to send and receive email on your iPhone using Suddenlink's POP/SMTP, Password-authenticated connection.

Can you move files between two different user accounts in Time Capsule?

I copied a bunch of stuff from my old NAS (which used FAT) to Time Capsule under one user account... I then reformatted the NAS to HFS+ so I could just use it as a USB drive connected to the TC. Now I realized that I want to have one of those folders in another user directory. I cannot open two different sessions of the TC on the computer...at least I have not figured out how to do this. Is there a way to accomplish this without copying the folder to my computer, then copying it back to the other user directory? It is several gigs.

you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has. Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

Can you set up multiple phones on 1 account

trying to add 4 iphones to 1 apple account. Is it possible?

Sign into the account on each phone.
Not sure what you are after.
You want to use the same itunes account on each iphone? Sign into the account on each iphone.
You want to use the same e-mail account on each iphone? Sign inot the account on each iphone.
Something else?
Please explain

Can you set a max size for a folder on a file server

I've got a G5 Xserve that I'm using as a file server running 10.3.9. I need more space on my array so I bought bigger drives and will move the data to the new, larger array.
For the health of my drives, I want my array to maintain at least 10% free space so I would like for the people using the shares to only see 90% of the larger space. (I don't want to have to be the 'drive space' policeman 6 months from now when the RAID fills up again)
I know I could create 2 partitions in diskutil but I'd like something more dynamic.
Ideally I'd like to put my shared folders inside of a main folder and tell Server to only display 90% of the size of the partition when a folder from the partition is mounted remotely. That way people won't know there is a quota which keeps them from trying to copy data into a share that shows 10% free space.
The shares are used by both macs and PCs so I'd rather not go with a solution based upon network protocol.
Many Thanks,
Paul
G5 Xserve Mac OS X (10.3.9)

There's no way I'm aware of to artificially display a different capacity/available space than what's actually there. If it's a 1TB volume, it's a 1TB volume and the OS isn't going to report that as 900GB.
The only other solutions I can think of is to either enable quotas which will let you restrict the amount of disk space any user can consume, or attach a folder action to the volume where the script automatically checks the volume size whenever new files are added and takes action at the appropriate time (you need to define what that action is, though).

Tax codes - can you set up default value for rows and freight? HELP!

Hello - I have two issues with tax codes:
1. When adding a sales order if any of the rows do not have a value for "Tax Code" I will get an error "Row without tax was found".
- How can I get all rows on my sales orders, documents, etc to default to a specific tax code? Or will users ALWAYS have to enter the tax code?
2. When addring a sales order with Freight, if the order is added without adding a tax code to the freight I will get an error "Expense with tax was found"
- How can I get the tax code have a default value? We always use the same tax code, so it is redundant to have to enter this information.
Any suggestions?

Hi Jhon,
this is the simplest and best way to make a Tax Code default is Go to
Answer for Question 1
Administration -> Setup -> Financial -> Tax -> Tax Code Determination (Click on this)
in that screen you can set a default tax code for both sales as well as Purchase.
If you want to set Tax Code based on Vendors or Customers or Items separately then you can use the Key Fields.
Answer for Question 2
Once you enter the Tax Code in the freight i think it takes the Tax Code itself, I'm not so sure about this one though.
Hope this helps you out
regards,
Shreyas

Can you set a distinct ringtone for an incoming number?

We have a client with a UC560. There is a sip-based call box on extension 321 that can unlock a door. We want the calls to come a specific 7962 handset that sits next to a screen that shows a security camera pointed at that door. We would like the call box to have a different ringtone from all the other calls that come into the 7962 so that the ladies know to look at the camera before picking up the phone (which would unlock the door). Is there a way to assign a unique ringtone to an internal extension?
Thanks!!

7962:
button 1: ext300 <---- used as primary line
button 2: ext301 <---- used only for opening door.
The normal calls will go to extension 300. ONLY the callbox will call 301. Therefore when she receives calls on 301 they should only be coming from the callbox. Therefore when you assign a ringtone to that button it will ring differently for calls from the callbox.
EDIT: This may be of help when configuring a different ringtone:

Can you set samples per trigger for sound vi?

Hi,
I've been looking at both Matlab and LabVIEW for acquiring sound through a PC sound card. In Matlab you can change the sampling rate (8000, 11025, etc), the buffer size and the samples per trigger. In LabVIEW I noticed you can only change the first two using the SI VIs. How would I go about changing the samples per trigger?

Hello,
Could you describe your application and what you are trying to trigger? You can look at all the sound VIs in the advanced section of the function pallette and you can click on any VI and get the context help by pressing ctrl H. That will give some information on the way the VIs are set up and the features they include.
Good luck and have a great day!

Can you set up mail server for 2 domains?

we have emails using 2 different domains. The first domain has the mail set up on mac server and is running fine. We would now like to add our second email domain to this server as well. Can we do this?

Hmm. Good to know. However, it sounds a little intimidating. I guess it is not a tool you can just launch like Server Admin Tools with a nice-looking user-interface, right? Even though I've installed and ran Windows SBS 2003 since 2003 and just setup a Mac Mini Server, I am not that comfortable when it comes to terminal-level commands, port mapping this, port mapping that, X11, Xcode, etc. Is there a step-by-step configuration guide out there that you are aware? I'll start to look around.
