Different users with different Software installed

Hi there,
As I am rebuilding my computer and recovering my user through Time Machine, I suddenly thought about creating two separate users on my machine:
1.- Me: for my day to day usage.
2.- Developer: an account specifically targeted to install apps and/or test stuff.
In the second one I would like to be able to install apps I do not want accessible in the first and viceversa (I literally want to keep them perfectly separated so, in the case I want to rebuild my computer again, I can make a "clean restore" of user 1 while starting from scratch with user 2 to keep installing software and other testing situations.
The questions are:
A) Is this possible?
B) if so, how?
Thanks in advance

Thank you CT :-))
I do believe that would be a very feasible workaround. My fear (or my questions) goes into the following direction:
a) by doing so, are you keeping anything outside of that folder potentially affecting other programs (supposely, uninstalling apps in MacOS is clean, but there are so many apps to "completely uninstall applications" that I wonder if that is true).
b) I am looking for a programmatic solution (your solution definitely seems to be feasible, but I was looking for a system option or similar to make clear split among users within the same computer).
Thank you very much in any case :-))
Jose.

SCCM 2012 Report that shows the users with specific software installed

Hi,
Is there a report in SCCM 2012 that shows the users with specific software installed? The report should show username, machine name and the software name. I am looking for a report that shows the users with the following softwares installed:
1. Adobe(all versions)
2. Photoshop(all versions)
3. MS Project(all versions)
4. MS Vision(all versions)
Regards, Lorin Davis

Take a look at the Asset Intelligence reports in the software section. You may get a list of computers with a product installed, and you might have to use that list to find the primary users based on user device affinity.

How can I create a user with rights to install packages on a publish instance?

Hi,
I am trying to create a user with the rights to upload and install content packages on a CQ publish instance and I do not wish to use the admin user. Simply adding a new user to the administrators group does not seem to be enough.
I tried adding a rep:GrantACE node through crx de/explorer but it reported the node as locked. I was able to upload a content package that removed the rep:DenyACE jcr:read for everyone, but this is not safe it seems.
Is there some special privilege that I need to add to my user/group that will allow them to access the /etc/packages tree or do I just need to add some permission somewhere within the tree.
Regards,
Chris

With some help from David Collie, Alex Klimetschek & Jörg Hoh I have a better idea of what is going on and we've found a solution.
It seems that the admin account always works in these scenarios as it has special privileges in the CRX security system; admin can do anything it likes.
Instead of creating the rep:GrantACE nodes directly, I was able to add a new ACL entry for the administrators group to /etc/packages via the Access Control Editor (http://localhost:4502/crx/explorer/ui/aceditor.jsp?ck=1373027669916&Name=acEditor&Path=%2F etc%2Fpackages&_charset_=utf-8).
Strangely, the administrators account already had some inherited rights on this directory that were overridden by the deny|everyone|jcr:read ACL entry on /etc/packages node. Adding allow:administrators|jcr:read gives any member of that group access to read and write to the /etc/packages. directory.
Now that I have setup this user we can setup a deploy step in out CI build that does not rely on using the admin account.
Thanks
Chris

Using N95's GPS with navigation software installed...

Good Day,
Is it possible to connect the phone to a Laptop in such a way that the GPS signal will be transmitted to the navigation software installed on the Laptop?
Tnx.

Hi hanoch1hendel
Unfortunately that is not possible and there is no comparison between performance of the internal Texas Instruments GPS5300 NaviLink 4.0 chip in N95 due to it's antenna placing with an external SIRF StarIII receiver.

Will a new iPhone 4 come with new software installed?

I just ordered a new iPhone 4. Not a 4S. Will it come with updated software? Or will I have to update it myself?

Yes... it will come with either 5.01 or 5.1 installed... most likely 5.1 as it's been out for several weeks.
Apple does not have huge warehouses of merchandise just sitting around, it's likely the new iPhone 4 you just purchased came off of a cargo ship or out of a cargo plane within the last month directly from the factory.

Is there different software installed on new iMac from Bestbuy vs Apple store? I purchased new 27 iMac and cannot find NUMBERS, PAGES or KEYNOTE

Purchased new 27 iMac and cannot seem to find PAGES, NUMBERS or KEYNOTE programs. I installed OS X MAV and still cannot find them. In the app store they cost money.

They need to be downloaded; you can use this in case they do not show up on your Purchases list:

How to convert an ipod with Windows software installed to Mac operation

I have a 20MB ipod which has windows software on it. It is very hard to load songs onto as I can only see the ICON on the desktop and not in itunes and this way they don't seem to properly mount! I have a 12" ibook that I connect it to. I can't seem to follow how one is supposed to wipe the Windows OS (or whatever) off the ipod and install the Mac one ?!?!? Am I trying to do the impossible? A step-by-step answer would be soooooo appreciated.
12" ibook Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Information on the iPod not appearing in iTunes is available in this article. To reformat the iPod for Mac, open a new Finder window and click the Applications icon in the sidebar; from here, open Utilities and then iPod Software Updater. Locate the most recent version of the iPod updater inside, open it, and click the Restore button with the iPod connected. Doing this will change the iPod into the Mac format and erase everything currently on it.

Portege R500 - Shuts down with AuthenTec software installed

I have a problem with R500 (PPR50E-06W011PL). I bough it brand new Januar 4th, 2010.
Installed XP Pro and then all the drivers (lates versions available) in the order indicated in the manual. I have very quickly realized shutdown problems (sometimes with blue screen for less than second) when waking up from hibernation or even screensaver. It was in almost every second wake-up. After reading all the info I found on this forum I have decided to uninstall AuthenTec Fingerprint software. Since that time my R500 has never shutdowned itself and you should know I hibernate it few times each day. However, this is not a solution as the fingerprintreader software should operate correctly without causing OS problems.
Has anyone met such problem? If yes, has it been solved? How?

Hi buddy,
I also think your notebook is 100% ok and its just a software or configuration issue from your side. You wrote that on Windows 7 everything works fine What do you think about Windows 7, is it option for you?
The problem is that Windows XP is the past and therefore you will not get much updates anymore. Now everything will be tested and released for Windows 7 I think and its really good operating system.
So I hope Windows 7 is an option for you and it would be interesting to know if you have the same problems on preinstalled OS (Vista).
If you dont like Vista, disable the Vista designs. Then it looks like XP! :)

Question on ADMIN rights for EP user with ECC also installed on same system

Hello EP/ECC gurus
I have a situation here where we have installed EP and ECC on the same system using same SID and system number.
I have logged into ECC using a user name that has been registered as a developer.
I can create a table, populate with data etc., without any problem.
However, when we try to use EP, we are getting errors that the says that there are no roles assigned to this user.
What are we doing wrong? Any suggestions or recommendations will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Ram,
When the installation of EP was performed it should have created a user named J2EE_ADMIN. Try to log on to the portal with this account (password should be known from time of installation). You can examine the user/role assignments of your developer user and assign the portal roles you would like that particular user to have accordingly.

Daniel

How to clean then sell with extra software installed?

I am trying to wipe clean my MacBook Pro, 2012. I have a couple of issues.
1) I bought it when Mountain Lion first came out. They gave it to me free upon purchase since they just hadn't upgraded yet. Is there going to be a problem wiping and reinstalling it at all, since technically I downloaded it with a coupon of some kind? I don't need to keep the license I would give it away with the computer.
2) I wanted to sell it with MS Office and Adobe pre installed. Is that possible?
Thanks!

Yes there is a problem. you will have to Reinstall Lion on that system. Even though Mt Lion was a Free Upgrade to you is was Still an Upgrade to the original OS X version that came on it and is Tied to YOUR Apple ID.
So Legally you can not transfer it to a new owner. And if you do they would not be able to Reinstall it without knowing your Apple ID.
To Revert the system back to Lion you must boot the computer from the Online Internet Recovry system, IE Boot the computer from over the internet from the Apple servers. To so that you hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r keys at startup and hold them down until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen. It is best to have the system Wired to your internet router unless your Mac is WiFi only with no Ethernet port.
Once that system loads you Must Use Disk Utility to Re-Partition the drive as One partition so the Mt Lion recovery HD partition is removed.
Then once that is done exit DU and select Reinstall Mac OS X and Lion will be downloaded and install on the system.
The only caveat to all of this is the normally included iLife Apps are not a part of the OS. They are separate. So the new owner will need to Register that Mac with Apple under their name and Apple ID and then they will be able to download and install the iLfe Apps from the Mac App Store.
Once the OS has installed and the computer reboots to the setup screens just hold down the power button until the system turn off. Then when the new owner turns it on for the first time it will go through all the original setups of location and username and the like just like it was for you when you first took it out of the box.

Need help with DM software install - installer thinks I have previous installation, but I don't

This is really frustrating me, but I recently uninstalled v4.3 and have been struggling to re-install ANY version of the DM onto my XP Pro machine. I have followed every bit of advice I can find including clean un-install / install, change the TEMP environment variable, unzip the installer and store locally, but I still can't figure this out.
I've been studying the installer log file, and I think this might be a clue:

Any ideas?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You say you followed the instructions for a clean install -- but what about a clean un-install? Those instructions are here...

UNIX user with Oracle software group settings

I am seeking help on this issue.
When I installed Oracle 10g on Solaris 9 sparc box, I created user oracle and assigned oracle user to primary group Oinstall and second group dba. Then installation went successful. After that, I created another user ccmm and assigned ccmm to dba group. Then I created some UNIX scripts and SQL scripts stored on system. When I log into server as ccmm user and tried to connect to Oracle database, it failed. If I log in as oracle user and tried to connect to Oracle database, everything runs fine. My purpose is to log in as ccmm user and connect to Oracle database or start Oracle utilities from there. So where is the problem for ccmm user settings? How can I make ccmm user as Oracle database user on UNIX machine? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if I quite understand what you're looking to do, but have you added the 'ccmm' user to the 'oinstall' group?
vi /etc/group
oinstall::101:ccmm
Don't know if that helps ya or not.

Kernal panic with software install and restore disc

I'm trying to access my software install and restore disc for my powerbook G4 running tiger. Everytime I restart the computer with the disc in, and hold down c, I get a kernal panic. There is nothing wrong with the software install and restore disc, as far as I can tell.
Thanks for any help!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

is this a tiger disk or a previous operating system? if it is a previous os restore disk, then it is not surprising it would panic. the only software restore disks you would need would be ones to run the apple hardware test and to install or reinstall os 9. otherwise, you should not use a software restore disk for a previous operating system, unless you have erased and installed your drive.
