Dual "desktop" for two users

Hello!
Here's my need: a Mac Pro with OS X Tiger 10.4.11, used by its usual user.
A second user needs another computer for light works only (web browsing and pictures viewing).
I'd like to connect a second keyboard, a second mouse and a second display to the Mac Pro. Then create a second "desktop" or work area, or something similar. In this way the two users could work independently using the same Mac.
Is this possible?
Is there any desktop utility that could allow us to work in this way?
Or is there something similar?
Thank you.

Hi,
Is this possible?
Not that I'm aware of, at a at the same time.
Any KB, Mouse, or Monitor you connect, will only be availble to the front User, though there is Fast User Switching.

    How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users? I and my wife have two Iphones (iOS 6.1.4) and we want to have use 2 iCloud accounts for one PC.

    Disregard the question. The solution has nothing to do with any "Firefox bug". Turns out that my session wasn't being managed properly. Or rather, I was accidentally deleting other users' information when new users logged in. So if I had user 1 and user 2, and user 2 logged in after user 1, some of user 1's information would be deleted, resulting in the errors.
    Oops; sorry about the false alarm. :)
    (Was hoping to retract the question, but it looks like others have a similar problem.)

  • How can I set up my Mac for two users to share photos, music etc

    How can I set up my Mac for two users to share photos, music etc?

    On the Mac with the libraries you want to share:
    iTunes Preferences click on the Sharing tab and put a tick in 'Share by library on local network'.
    iPhoto Preferences click on Sharing and put a tick against 'Share my photos'.
    When launching the same apps on other Macs on the network the libraries should be available, listed on the left.

  • Mounting drives on the desktop for all users

    Hi
    Is there a way of mounting drives ( like USB pens) on the desktop for all users please?
    It's a causing a lot of confusion here... you think the USB drives aren't working when you can't see them being mounted in front of you.
    I do realise you can set this in Finder/Preferences but I wondered if there were a way of just making it the default for any user that logs in ( whether locally or to the domain).
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Hmmmm....why would anyone disable this basic thing?
    Here's a reason. I don't use the Desktop, so why would I want the drives to pop up on my desktop.
    They appear in my Sidebar in any Finder window.
    That's why I turned it off on my system. You'd have to ask the 1000 users why they turned it off.
    However, I'm not sure I understand what you want. If you mount a usb drive on your system, and share it out over the network, it is not a Hard Drive on any network user's desktop. It is a network share.

  • Where can I change desktop for anonymous user ?

    Hello.
    Where can I change desktop for anonymous user ? I'd like to change it in the same manner as sampleportal desktop (with amconsole) , but I did not found it in the amconsole.
    If you know, please, tell.

    The user "authlessanonymous" holds the information that people see if they are not signed on. It can be changed like any other user. It may have to be enabled under the Service Configuration tab -> portal desktop.

  • One iTunes Library for two users

    You guessed it. I'm wondering if it's possible for two users to share a single iTunes Library. I tried moving one user's existing Library to HD/Users/Shared which allowed the other user to select the files as a Library, but now I may only add files to the Library by individually Authenticating each one, while the other User can't change the Library at all.
    I have Administrative authority on the computer and the other user has none. Is there a better way to share one music library and save space?
    Thanks.

    Aaron, my roommate and I have shared a Mac for close to 3 years now. We each have our own account names and each have our own iPods. While it is possible to share the same library, we have never found a way to mirror the two iTunes libraries EXACTLY.
    To start, you need to create your default music folder location on a shared drive. Make sure that in both user's iTunes Preferences, you identify the same shared music folder!
    Once that is done you can then import all of your music into that directory location, but after User#1 is finished importing music, User#2 needs to File/Add to Library and select the iTunes music folder location (once you do this it should not need to be changed again).
    Keep in mind one important thing: If either user deletes a song or makes edits, you will need to immediately switch to the other account and remove the song title (if the first user deleted it) or click on the edited song's name to refelect the edit.
    Does this sound cumbersome? It sure does, but it's the only way we have been able to "live in harmony."
    Email me anymore of your questions.

  • I bought a photoshop CS5(for two users). If I add one more user, what can I do?

    I bought a photoshop CS5, and it indicated for two users only. If I want to add one more user, then what can I do?

    You can only activate two copies of the software and they're supposed to be for the same person and not used simultaneously.

  • Anyconnect client and clientless connections hang for two users

    ASA 5525, v. 9.1(5)19
    Anyconnect client 3.1.02026
    I have two users who are unable to connect via the AC client or clientless through the web portal. Using the client, it will get stuck in a loop of "checking for updates". On the portal, the connection will proceed to the point of "Cisco Secure Desktop successfully validated... Success.. Reloading..please wait." Then it hangs there.
    The issue occurs for the user regardless of which company laptop she logs onto. A help desk tech can use her laptop and successfully connect, but she cannot connect on her own laptop or on another laptop. (Same for the other user.) So the issue doesn't seem to be related to her laptop or the AC installation. (Help desk did reimage her machine early in the troubleshooting process before they realized that the issue seemed to follow the user.)
    I've updated the hostscan file - no change in results.  Client and clientless connections seem to be working fine for all other users. We're stumped.  Suggestions, anyone?  thanks!

    The LDAP should be server folks -- Active Directory.  Chances are whoever manages the ASA's should have access to at least look in Active Directory to look that up.  If they don't they need it.
    I obviously don't know a lot about what devices you are using, but if you are using ISE, there should be some type of MNT device (Monitoring and Troubleshooting) -- which is collecting the logs and, hopefully, sending them to some type of syslog aggregate collection tool (splunk?).
    Otherwise, there should be a device called a CAM (Clean Access Manager) that is collecting logs -- which may also be propagated to a syslog aggregate tool -- although with CAM's, you can pull the reports right out of them in a comma deliminated file (.csv) and go through them that way.
    -- The thing that gets me is that it happens to two users no matter what computer they try to connect from, no matter what network they connect from, and other users can authenticate and gain network access on those same devices.
    -- That is why it is rather perplexing.  Pretty much saying it has to be something with:
    - the IP pool they are getting an IP from
    - their AD credentials
    - their username
    - something along those lines, if the information provided was fully accurate.

  • How to divide Mac OS X Server for two users?

    How can I make Mac OS X (Tiger) server to serve two separate users separately. What I mean is that server should have separate places for testing various stuff on it and room for presentations and such stuff. They should be separately so I wouldn't mess up something with presentation part. Should I create virtual disk or make some kind of dual boot for it and how should I do it. I hope the text is understandable.

    It's not clear at all what you are trying to do.
    Mac OS X Server is not designed to be used with
    multiple logins at the computer itself, unlike OS X
    "client" (the standard, non-server Mac OS X).
    Why are you running OS X Server, it sounds like what
    you want is regular Mac OS X (client, not server) and
    multiple local user accounts.
    If you want the features that Mac OS X server
    offers (file services with users & groups and
    granular permissions (via ACLs), centralized
    authentication, NetBoot, etc. , then perhaps start by
    reading the documentation:
    http://www.apple.com/server/documentation/
    I want to set up Debian Linux on My Mac OS X Server and make it into dual boot machine is it possible at all???I have made separate partitions for Mac OS X and Linux on the server.

  • How do you sync iTunes library for two user accounts?

    Hello
    I have a MacBook with two user accounts - myself and my wife.
    I have to do this because we both have iPhones and we need to keep our sync-ing separate or we would just keep overwriting each others preferences.
    I have an iTunes library and so does my wife.
    Problem...
    I recently imported some songs using my account that my wife wants on her iTunes. When I logged out of my account and went into hers the songs I imported were not there!!
    Question...
    How do you marry and update the libraries of both accounts so no matter which iTunes library you access (my account or hers) you have all the available songs in both?
    I have tried trawling through some of the zillion posts here, but the prospect of spending hours and hours was just too much to contemplate!!!!
    So if i've asked a question that has already been asked and dealt with please forgive me - or better still if you know where the needle would be in this haystack a link would be very much appreciated!
    Many Thanks in Anticipation.
    Mr Totsy

    Hi ffiti
    I have done a bit of cleaning up on my Mac (OCD!) and made a bit of an ar*e of things - can you help?
    I went into my wife's account and wiped all iTunes files and stored songs.
    This was done because some songs were on my iTunes library and some were not on hers - so I just wiped the lot off and started again...I know it gets even better...
    I then went into my user account and wiped off everything there too...
    I went on the Apple website and downloaded the latest iTunes 11.0.4 I think and reinstalled an empty library from scratch - that way I will be only filling one library full of songs - I also took the media file out of the shared folder and reset it back to its default position
    I went to sync my iPhone and now it tells me I can only sync one device with one library - so how do I sync my phone without it deleting everything and replacing it with nothing?!!!!
    I doesn't matter how great Apple products are they just can't account for human idiocy !!!
    Regards,
    Mr Totsy

  • Practical and convenient to share one library for two users, or unwise?

    One iMac, two user profile logins. I've already gone through this with iTunes and with the help of the techs, have figured out the work around so that two users on one computer can share one set of music files. Without that trick, we'd be duplicating our music storage requirements.
    Same problem with iPhoto. Sure, my wife and I have some photos that we would keep separately I suppose, but really.. most of what we shoot would be better shared in one location. I read in the help files that you simply move the iPhoto Library to the Users\Shared folder and then change a setting in iPhoto.
    Is this practical and usable this way, or are there "gotchas" that the help file doesn't elaborate on?
    Is this reliable and safe for the data? What would you guys recommend. Thanks.
    - Rowan

    HI Rowan,
    I think I read in another one of your posts about maybe moving the iPhoto Library folder to an external. If you do, this library can be shared, but the external has to be set to "ignore permissions" if two users are going to be using the same library on the external. More info on this set up can be found in the documentation page of iPhoto Library Manager.
    Anyway, there is also a method using ACLs with Tiger that might work for you also.
    Here are the links I have for sharing ONE iPhoto Library between users.
    SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
    You can try one of these three methods:
    1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
    The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
    2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
    3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
    4- I have also read about ShareAlike
    There is no other info on the site about how it works.
    I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

  • Tables for two users.

    Hi, i have a question. I have installed two users in the same Tablet Pc.
    In the data folder i have two tables for the same SyncBo (one for each user).
    I need a sql sentence or standard java function to identify the table
    that correspond to a user. Thanks.

    Hi Julian,
        I assume you are using DB2e persistence since you say that there are two "tables" for the same SyncBo. In order to find out which table corresponds to which user, you will have to identify the "Conversation ID" corresponding to each user first.
       Conversation ID is the combination ID for {Device ID + user ID + Application ID}
       You can find this out from the trace file and then you have to query on MI_TABMAP table to find out the corresponding table for each conversation ID.
       The DB2eCLP.exe tool required to query on tables can be found in SDN:
