Help with other user logins

Something has changed in my logon process where now I am the only user than can login on startup. If I logoff without shutting down, other users can log in, but only I can from a cold start. I know this is something I did by accident.
About 1-2 weeks ago some option came up for security or something. It sounded like a good idea so I selected and the process encrypted my HDD or something like that. Now when my iMac boots up, I am the only user that can logon (and my logitech G700 mouse does not work upon startup but that is a minor issue).
Thanks.

Help with multiple user login script

Hi, just a little background first to what i want to do...
I have about 300 Macs in an education environment, they are bound to the AD network for authentication and OSX Server LDAP for forced prefs, the network Home accounts are stored via Apple and Promise Raids on XServes.
We also have 4 local user accounts on all the Macs for video etc. I have some simple scripts that i would like to force to the local Users only, (empty trash, reset dock. reset desktop pics and delete items etc).
I have done the script and saved it as a .app and it works on the Macs as a local User login option. However, when I bind the Mac back to the LDAP the local user script stops working. I have seen the option to 'Allow local scripts' to run via WGM, but have not had success here either, (I have ran the 2 EnableMCXLoginScripts on the clients).
Now I thought I would try to run the script as a Launchdaemon option using Lingon. This works, but its active for all users, I do not want it to delete Network account users Desktops! Is there a way I can add an 'If' option at the beginning of my script. As in..'if users home account is /Network/Sharepoint' then quit.
I cannot run it as a one script for all Mac setting as the different local users have different Desktop Pics and Docks etc
Any ideas or other options I could try?
Any help hugely appreciated.
C

V.K, thanks for that, sometimes I just don't see the obvious.
I have tried it as a ~/Library/LaunchAgents using lingon to create the .plist. I just cannot get it to run though. I have tried it as a .sh .scpt and as a .app file stored in the /Users/Shared folder.
All will run if I manually launch them after login though. I have made them all executable for all.
I have also tried to run it without the Mac connected to my LDAP. I have added the relevant folders to the allow list in WGM on the lDAP anyway...
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my computer

How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my Macbook pro?

You may have to set up different user accounts in the computer if you wish to
continue sharing the computer among other people, and only use the Mail app.
Otherwise, if you use a webmail such as yahoo, gmail, or other, just use a browser
and login each time; then there is no saving of your email to the computer as such.
I've never used an email client software, nor had an ISP based email account. So
my numerous computers have never downloaded email into software. No loss.
But the answers do include setting up extra user accounts, not admin level, so the
other users do not mess with the operating system; a standard account or just a
guest account to use a browser to access web-based login email accounts, works.
There are third-party email client for OS X, some are free applications, others are
part of a larger browser product, such as SeaMonkey, & other Mozilla derivatives.
They provide an email segment or client aspect; unlike Firefox that's a browser.
Setup information should be within the Help viewer in the computer itself. Or by a
simple search online, including the OS X version and any email client software
your computer may have installed. Some browser software includes email client.
Also there are several ways to go in this matter. I don't see questions, only answers.
To learn how the Mail application works, if you want to import everyone's mail, then
figure how to set up user accounts in the OS X. Or use web-mail & login by browser.
Hopefully you can find the best solution for the unasked question.
Good luck & happy computing!

please help me

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set "peoples or groups" field with current user "login name" in SharePoint list form using JavaScript.
To set "peoples or groups" field with current user "login name”, you can use the below code:
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SetPickerValue(pickerid, key, dispval) {
var xml = '<Entities Append="False" Error="" Separator=";" MaxHeight="3">';
xml = xml + PreparePickerEntityXml(key, dispval);
xml = xml + '</Entities>';
EntityEditorCallback(xml, pickerid, true);
function PreparePickerEntityXml(key, dispval) {
return '<Entity Key="' + key + '" DisplayText="' + dispval + '" IsResolved="True" Description="' + key + '"><MultipleMatches /></Entity>';
function GetCurrentUserAndInsertIntoUserField() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
this._currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
context.load(this._currentUser);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccess),
Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFailure));
function onSuccess(sender, args) {
SetPickerValue('ctl00_m_g_99f3303a_dffa_4436_8bfa_3511d9ffddc0_ctl00_ctl05_ctl01_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_UserField', this._currentUser.get_loginName(),
this._currentUser.get_title());
function onFaiure(sender, args) {
alert(args.get_message() + ' ' + args.get_stackTrace());
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(GetCurrentUserAndInsertIntoUserField, "sp.js");
</script>

mm, I was deleting some files last night and when I came to booting up this morning my Macbookpro (5 years old) i was greeted with a user login screen? put in my password, but all i get is the space screen and no further action...? cant get apps o my bar

Sounds like you may have deleted something you shouldn't have. Boot to an OS X DVD or a bootable backup, and using Disk Utility, do a repair disk, and while there repair permissions. Disconnect any peripherals, and reboot. If you get the same startup behavior, do a safe boot, by holding the shift key down when booting. If that works, try a normal boot. If neither step helps, you may need to relaod your operating system.

How do I sink calendars with other users on the same computer

How do I sink calender info with other users on the same computer?

Hi there,
First..I am new to this forum and find the information provided to be very helpful... I had followed the iTunes link above to enable sharing between users in the same computer but it appears to be working on partially. What setup am I looking for ?
1. We have an iMac (Snow Leopard) with 1 Adult ID and 2 children IDs
2. The iTunes music folder is stored in a Shared public folder where the Adult ID has read/write access and the 2 kids with read-only access (so that they don't accidently delete songs...:-)
3. The iTunes on the Adult ID has the access to purchase songs. The kids have no acccess to buy songs
4. All songs, podcasts to be visible to all users
What has happened ?
1. I am able to make the base of songs visible to all users
2. However when a song is purchased by the adult account ..it is not visible to the kids account ..:-{
3. The same thing occurs when a song is imported from a CD
4. When a new playlist is created by the Adult account it is not visible to the kids account ..:-(
How can I make changes made by the Adult be made visible to the kids without having the need to constant add music files or libraries for each kid..?
Thanks in advance..

How do I share my itunes and iphoto libraries with other users (accounts) ?

Hi !
I am trying to share my itunes and iphoto libraries with other users on my powerbook, but I seem to have problems with it.
What is the best way to do it?
Place an alias in my "shared" folder and access this with the applications from the different accounts ? This seems to workt for the itunes library, at least... Or do I have to mess with the righs managent ?
I dont want screw up my nice mac...
Thanx for the help in advance.

Hi... and thanx for your help...
I did not think that I would have to mess with my firewall, as long as I am talking of useres on the same computer, but I guess I was wrong.
Your advice helps very much, but only as long as I am still logged in with my user name. I does not work when only my kids are logged in. There has to be a way to use these libraries without the need to log in the user that has created those folders...
Hmmm
Thanx for your help

File system management when sharing photos/music with other users in Mac OS

I'm a new convert from the Windows world. I'm trying to setup multiple accounts for each user within my household. However, I'd like us to all share the same set of folders for photos within iPhoto and music in iTunes. Is it best to just used the "shared" folder instead of keeping them in the standard home directory and trying to share those folders with other users? What is the best approach to this. I would imagine most people do this for managing their music if not photos as well. Just trying to learn best practice on the file system management before I copy over gigs of files from my old PC.
Thanks much,

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This might help with iPhoto.
There are two ways to share, depending on what you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
Finally: If you’re comfortable in the Terminal, and understand File Permissions, ACL’s etc., some folks have reported success using the process outlined here . (Note this page refers to 10.4, but it should also work on 10.5). If you’re not comfortable with the terminal, and don’t know an ACL from the ACLU, then you’re best doing something else... Oh, and the warning about simultaneous users still applies.

Remote Desktop Session - users presented with Other User only?

Hi,
I am running a 2008 R2 server patched up to date. It has the remote desktop services role installed. Whenever I RDP or if a user launches a terminal services session they are presented with OTHER USER only.
This involves clicking the Other User before entering their credentials which is becoming a pain.
Non of the other servers are behaving this way. I've compared the settings with the other and all is identical. I've checked the local security policy and disabled all Group Policies but the behaviour still persists. Any ideas?
Thanks, Matt.

Hi Matt,
Can you clarify more for this line, “Whenever I RDP or if a user launches a terminal services session they are presented with OTHER USER only.” what you mean by this? If I understand, when you taking RDP, you need to enter the credential for user manually
and that you don’t want, yes? If misunderstood, please correct.
For that, for a try you can enable the Group policy under credential manager and enable SSO for remote desktop connection. You can find the setting under beneath path.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Credentials Delegation
Allow Delegating Default Credentials: Enable
Add "TERMSRV/<Your server name>" to the server list.
There are other setting which you can check with following link.

Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac

Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac?

Apparently so (as long as each user operates out of a different Mac User account).
After setting up home sharing in the various different user accounts on the Mac, you need to have iTunes open in the account that you want to Home Share from.
Now use fast User Switching to get into the account that you want to Home Share to. Launch iTunes in there. The library in the other account should appear as shared for you.

In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
The library stays in the Pictures folder for this.
