File share is off but still accessible by guest

I have turned file sharing off, but the Guest account is still able to access my main account.  I am on OS 10.8.5.  File sharing is unchecked in Sharing Prefs, and the only areas on Sharing are Public folders (but those shouldn't be shared since sharing is off in general, correct?).  However, Guest can see Desktop, Documents, Music, etc.

You could change the permissions on your home folder to NOT allow guest.  BUT BE VERY CAREFUL WITH PERMISSION CHANGES!  I have seen people use the "Apple to Enclosed Items..." destroy their Mac, forcing either a restore from backup or a fresh install from scratch, so do not get too paranoid, or you may succeed in keeping yourself away from your data as well.
Or do not allow Guests to login to your Mac.

    Hello wilsona1234,
    Sorry for the trouble. What is the exact detection from Norton for the installation file? Did you download itunes from the legitimate Apple web site? What is the error you are referring to?
    Thanks,

  • Error file share not managed but fabric- provider/fileserver and hyper-v host show managed/responding

    Hi,
    I am really puzzled by the following situation. I have a SCVMM 2012 R2 cluster that manages a Hyper-V host cluster on windows 2012 r2 and storage attached by SOFS Cluster on windows 2012 r2. There is 1 share - CSV1 for all VMs.
    Under Fabric -> Providers/Arrays/FileServer everything is green and has status of responding and CSV1 is shown as managed.
    Under Fabric -> Hosts -> Cluster properties -> Fileshare storage the CSV1 is visible and status responding, just as on the hyper-v hosts.
    The error I have is that around 50% of those VM have "unsupported VM configuration" and under properties I get the error that the file share that the VHDX is running on is not managed. --> This is wrong because the share IS managed by VMM. As
    I said I only have 1 (!) CSV for ALL of my VMs. If the share isn't managed by VMM then none of the VM could show a valid status. But this is what I see.
    A refresh on the virtual machine gives me an error of ID12700 "VMM cannot complete the host operations... unkown error (0x8005)." On the Hyper-V Host itself for the time frame that I performed the refresh of the VM there are no corresponding errors.
    The only thing I found is that all VMs with unsupported configuration have wrong properties entry in SCVMM. In SCVMM
    the VM properties -> Advanced -> Availablity is set to "normal". On all VMs that work just fine the Availability is "High". I went to the Failovercluster Manager on the Hyper-V host. All VMs are visible under "Roles" and
    therefor are HA VMs. So for some reason SCVMM has a wrong information on their HA status. I am not sure if this is the reason why
    some are showing the error and some not but it is the only difference I found.
    Does someone have an idea what could cause this behavior?

    Yes all of those VMs were created before VMM exists. A Cluster refresh and hyper-v host refresh runs through without errors or information. So that is OK.
    Migration is not possible because of the error. LiveMigration is not available from the GUI. Haven't checked powershell yet but will do so today.
    I have been able to limit the errors to a smaller number of VMs (well if you could say that). I removed and re-added the hyper-v cluster. After that about 1/3 of all VMs still show the error and all of them are on the same Hyper-V server. Not sure if this
    is relevant or just by "accident". I checked this hyper-v host but in regards to storage, network, hyper-v configuration I do not see any difference to the other two cluster nodes either on hyper-v nor on SCVMM.

  • My apps wont open, i already tried turning the power off but still they wont open :(

    Try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.

    If you are having trouble keeping your fan from operating quietly, I recommend smcFanControl: http://www.eidac.de/
    This is a program that runs in the menu bar, where you can manually regulate the power and temperature of your computer. I have had some problems where if I have it on low and I am using it on a bed or carpet, it can overheat without the fan kicking in to cool it down.
    If you need to replace, the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display has a phenomenal cooling system that I highly recommend.

  • Send as SMS is off but still being sent as SMS

    Hi, I've turned off Send As SMS but I did a test to send a message to a number that is not an iOS device and it still sent it as a regular SMS. I checked my usage on Verizon and it does show it counted as a text message thus costing me money.
    What happened? I know when I first got the iPhone 4S, it worked i.e when attempting to send to a non iOS device not having iMesaage, it warn and didn't send it. But now it appears to be broken. I'm on latest iOS firmware.

    Thanks for the response. That makes sense.
    But is there an explanation why then when I send to a known iOS device with iMessage and having the send as SMS off, it still sent as SMS?
    Over the weekend, my wife text me (her setting is ON) and it was showing up as green. She was surprised since I have told her that she has to watch out for the blue/green color when we first got the phone. Immediately I respond and it was also green back to her. All the previous text messages were in blue between us.
    I restarted my phone and iMessage then worked as expected i.e showing blue when I try to message her.

  • Hiding columns in Presentation Layer, but still accessible in a report.

    Hi BI Devs,
    I have a question on how to hide certain columns in the presenation layer but still make them available in a dashboard/report.
    We have 3 sections in our Presenatation Layer...section_a, section_b, section_c. We have two groups created, group_max and group_lite. Group_max will have access to all the sections in the presentation layer but group_lite will only have access to section_a and section_b
    We have a report in a dashboard (lets call it full_dashboard) that contains columns from section_a, section_b and section_c. We want all users (group_max and group_lite) to have access to the report, run the report and return data.
    Our requirement is that the group_lite will not have access to the section_c in "Answers".
    When we set the permissions in the RPD for the different sections, the permissions work correctly in hiding the section_c from group_lite, but when they run the report full_dashboard, the report errors out for group_lite users.
    Is there a way to grant access to the group_lite users so that they can run full_dashboard but still deny them access to the columns in Answers?

    Here is my thinking about duplicationg the section_c
    1. If i duplicate section_c, it will still be visible to group_lite in the presenation layer.
    2. If i duplicate section_c, i will have to change the dashboard (a very complex one too) to point to the duplicated section. How will I be able to hide the duplicated section?
    I am just not sure how to hide section_c from the group_lite users and still have the reports in the dashboard access the columns, without having to change the report.

  • I sent a project from imovie on my iphone to itunes and it said that it was located in file share on itunes but I cant find it.

    where is file share on itunes? please help!!

    Photostream will only work with photos newly taken on your iPhone.   It will not work with photos already on your iPhone.  The idea of Photostream is to allow you to take a photo(s) on your iPhone and a copy will be extended to the Photostream album on the iphone as well as other devices(with Photostream turned on) and your PC (with icloud control panel installed and photostream turned on) so that you can copy those files into your local folder.
    If you want to transfer old photos from your iPhone, connect it to your PC and there will be an AUTOPLAY popup window for you to select to import pictures to your local folder.
    If the Autoplay window dose not showup, you can go to windows explorer to look for your iPhone and right click to select import pictures:

  • Civil 3D 2011 Drawing file layers are off but show up in preview and final PDF

    I am using a Windows 7 64-bit,  Acrobat 10.1,  Autocad Civil 3D 2011
    In a site plan drawing we are trying to create PDF's of files that have xref's attached. The title block (an xref) is in paper space and the site plan xref is in model space.
    When turn off certain layers from the site plan as viewed from paper space to remove clutter and then go to make a PDF. After getting it set up to print, and going to the preview the layers we have turned off appear in the preview and if we go ahead and make the PDF those layers turned off will show up.
    We have made sure "Visretain=1" but the layers still show up. If we open the xref by itself and turn off the same layers and go through the PDF process they do NOT show up in the preview or the final PDF.
    I have installed Acrobat 10.1 but that did not fix the problem either.
    Any suggestion is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Not yet - Acrobat X is the current version, and support for PDFMaker plugins is usually only updated in major releases, especially where the integration is complex (as it is with ACAD).
    An x64 operating system isn't a problem, but x64 applications are - Acrobat is a 32-bit program and I expect it will remain so for several more years, so plugging it into the internals of 64-bit primary applications is a horrible job for the engineering team.

  • MIDI on Hardware synth off, but still sounds airy & flanged W record enable

    How do I get the output that I am monitoring on an audio track, with record enable to sound like it normally does when I listen to the output of my synth with headphones?
    Currently, it sounds like there is a cheap flange effect...

    Yes, I tried the first 2 suggestions, but with software monitoring off, I don't hear the synth at all.
    - I tried unplugging the midi cables, but then, because local is off, the syth is playing what the computer is feeding it, via the MIDI input, and it stops sounding the notes pressed when I unplugged the MIDI cables.
    There is basic misunderstanding going on.
    You mentioned recording to an -Audio- track in your first post. If you have Local OFF, you shouldn't hear anything when selecting and monitoring an -audio- track.
    {/quote}
    - I recorded the midi on the midi track. -
    It's actually possible to record-enable more than one track at a time, but in this case, the audio track was not record enabled. - The MIDI goes to the selected midi track, and it was selected.
    The only way I can hear my synth is through logic's monitoring, unless plug headphones into the mono output of the EX7. but that wont fix the issue, as I want to hear everything together... To just get down to making music, I could go through the dread of deleting the doubled over notes, but I don't have time for that.
    What is happening, is that Logic is sending double data to my Synth. I'm pretty sure it's an environment issue.
    Since logic 8 is so easy to rewire with Reason, I have not changed anything in the environment, except ... hmm... Yes I did actually; I created MIDI objects for Reason, to control it via MIDI, to go along with the Rewire. - I set that up correctly, and just experimented with deleting those objects, but the problem persists. I'm looking at the basic MIDI setup in the environment, and it's bare... I have not set up my Synth in there yet apparently. - Perhaps that is the problem.
    Here are some pics I've uploaded to show you what is going on, on my screen:
    http://criticalunity.org/TRASHNOW/
    - Picture 10.png shows that acoording to what I just tested as well; Software instruments triggered with my Synth are still affected, because Logic is recoding the notes 3 times. The prple notes are ones I dragged off, and they were 'one note' before... (supposed to be)
    - Picture 6.png shows the tracks, and how I'm monitoring.
    - Picture 8.png and 9.png show my untouched midi instrument environment.
    {quote}The MIDI setup is another can of worms.
    Here's some quick things to try...
    Did you setup cabling to your MIDI interface and Keyboard in AUDIO/MIDI setup, under the MIDI tab.
    If so, I would delete it now all you need to see is your MIDI interface.
    EX7 Environment Multi setup:
    A single Multi Instrument setup for the EX7 in the Environment, on the left control area, under "Channel" it should say ALL. Name the Multi to "EX7" or whatever..
    Back on the Arrange Page select a MIDI track.
    The Inspector on the left should show:
    Port: Select the MIDI interface port you're using, do not select ALL.
    Under Channel, select 1
    If you have a Multi setup correctly with patch names you will see them under program.{/quote}
    - I believe that this is the can of worms that needs to opened immediately - (Getting can opener)
    - Okay, I'll try the MIDI suggestions, but what I have now is yes, EX7 is connected to the MIDI interface inside the system's audio-MIDI setup, and inside Logic, it is set up to be connected to port A, the port it is physically connected to.
    In logic's enviro, it shows on the left 'EX7' when I look in the drop down menu, and then 'Port A' .
    On the right, next to the EX7 object, there is another one called 'GM device' , which is actually set to 'All'. - Have I hit the nail on the head? .. We'll see...
    (I'm going to go experiment in there now, I'll keep you posted, pun intended
