Does workgroup manager and OSX have problems?

I am a classroom teacher using Adobe CS2 on 24 IMac G5's and 3 IMac G5's with the intel processor. I have had problems with Photoshop and Illustrator saving empty files and files disappearing. So my Tech people want to redo the server.
They tell me that I can have only one group of users, because more groups causes many problems. At the present time I have four groups set up according to the different classes I teach. The groups are Desktop Publishing, Digital Photography, IWP Students and Night school. Each group has different programs and template files that they need for assignments.
I have been told this using of two or more groups is what's causing saving problems with Adobe CS2 programs.
They want to make one group for all students and I don't see why if workgroup manager sets preferences for each group (about 75 students in each group) that 2 or 4 groups is all that many. Right now each student is assigned to a group and only sees programs or files that are used in that group.
If this new an improved setup is done then all students see everything and have access to all programs for all classes instead of just the group assigned to the class they are in.
Am I missing something or isn't the server and workgroup manager supposed to be able to set up different groups so you can limit access.
I want to limit access but the tech people want something easy and less limited. Are they right that the saving problems of Adobe CS2 programs is due to too many groups(4 total) with different preferences? Does Workgroup manager have problems with this type of setup? Are the Tech people just taking the easy way out to save on the new setup? Is my theory of limiting access wrong?
I am from the days of At Ease with panels. I never had problems no file sharing no extra files or programs to use.
Any opinions on the server setup with Workgroup Manager?

Sorry I placed this in the wrong OS area and I don't know how to move it to the correct OS area. Can anyone help with that?

  • Why does apple ipad and iphone have problems with comcast?

    We attempt to send pictures through our comcast wifi account and gets to about 90%and freezes. Have reset modem, and router, have turned off phone and reset it. Have switched to 4G then pictures will send. Only has problem when connected to wifi. As my ipad is wifi, I cannot send pictures at all with it.
    Did not have this problem until iOS 6 update.
    Any suggestions?

    My iPad and other devices have no problems with Comcast, but I didn't get my WiFi router from them. If you did, your router may need a firmware update, or you may need to get a different model of router.
    Regards.

  • Workgroup manager and imovie 8

    Hello
    I am using workgroup manager and imovie 8. When I login as a student or staff user, I cannot import files such as AVI. I get an error message (This file cannot be copied or moved error code: -43). If I login as admin, I am able to import files. I even tried to create a local user, but I still have to give admin rights to get it to work. I noticed in imovie 8 that when I am importing an AVI file from my flip camera, there is a save to pull down option that lists the Mac OS X hard drive. It does not give an option to save it to another location. Could that be the problem? When a student or staff is logged in, they cannot save to the local HD. I tried a previous version of imovie and was successful at importing a file. However, I want to use imovie 8. Any suggestions?? Thank you

    It doesn't _+*just work*+_ if that is what you are asking. You will lose all your transitions and other work when importing an iMovie 06 HD project in iMovie 08.
    There are some workarounds but hopefully enough pressure will be put on Apple to get this fixed. Please send feedback to Apple to help get this resolved.

    It is sad that iMovie 08 actually has less editing power than Microsoft's Movie Maker application - I did not think I would ever get to say that

  • I just downloaded an update and my sophos anti-virus is going beserk.  It will not allow me to remove the threat when I unlock the quarantine manager and I have no idea of what to do

    I just downloaded an update and my sophos anti-virus is going beserk.  It will not allow me to remove the threat manually when I unlock the quarantine manager and I have no idea of what to do.

    The malware it's finding is probably Windows malware attached to e-mail messages. What are the names of some of those things? Assuming they're not Mac malware, allowing Sophos (or any other anti-virus software) to remove them could cause problems. For example, if they're attached to e-mail, removing them improperly by simply deleting the message file will leave the malware on the e-mail server, and it may very well end up getting re-downloaded when your mail client syncs with the server. It may also corrupt the mailbox.
    If you actually ever see a malware name starting with MacOS or OSX (I forget which one Sophos uses), then you will need to worry, and should not assume that the malware can be completely removed by anti-virus software of any kind.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

    Try to Reset it (hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons).
    If that does not work try Restoring it in iTunes.
    Still no go? You will need to get it serviced.

  • Workgroup Manager and Server Admin 10.5 - Use to manage Tiger Server?

    Is it possible to use Workgroup Manager and Server Admin 10.5 running on Leopard Client to administer Tiger Server?

    I'm having major problems with server tools managing my 10.4.11 server. I'm finding that at least with the web management tools, I cannot make any changes to the 10.4 server Sites. To make matters worse, I cannot install 10.4 tools to get back that functionality.

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • Hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing

    hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing & registration process its says error on system mainternance. can you please help me out?
    thank you.

    OK, let's try again. Wind is NOT a supported carrier. In order to use tethering, it must be supported and activated by your carrier for the iPhone. This usually involves an additional fee.  You will have to ask your carrier if they can enable it. Odds are, since they are not a supported carrier, they can not. If you want to use tethering, you will most likely have to switch to a supported carrier that offers this feature on the iPhone.
    A list of supported carriers can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937

  • I have continuous problems with my iPad Mini, and it is getting worse!  Newstand application keep pausing or crashing, websites keep hanging first time in but then open fine the second time, and I have problems with applictions crashing.

    I have continuous problems with my iPad Mini, and it is getting worse!  Newstand application keep pausing or crashing, websites keep hanging first time in but then open fine the second time, and I have problems with applictions crashing.  Has anyone experienced similar problems and any suggestions?

    Has the device always behaved this way? Did this start as a result of an update to the iOS software? If the problem is that bad, you should probably restore the iOS software and then restore from a backup. If that fails, restore as new and rebuild the device. If that fails, it's time for a trip to an Apple Store to let them have a look at the iPad.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Does the mac book air and mbp have problems

    does the macbook air have problems and the same things for the macbook pro

    I think the biggest problem they have are owners who insist on eating and drinking around their computer. The next biggest are former PC users who insist on installing anti virus software and after awhile attempt to "clean up" their Mac.
    Other than that, no, none that I'm aware of.
