How are "Internet Accounts" shared across Macs?

I use several Macs (office, home, notebook). I noticed that when I add a new account in "Internet Accounts" on one of the Macs, it may appear on another Mac or may not even if I'm signed in iClouds with the same Apple ID. I wonder how I can control whether a newely added Internet Account is shared across all my Macs.
Sorry for a trivial question, but I could not find any info on this.

Hey there zornie,
It sounds like the features you are describing are part of iCloud Keychain.
iCloud Keychain can also keep the accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Messages up to date across all of your Macs. If you're signed in to Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, or any other accounts in Internet Accounts on OS X Mavericks, iCloud can push those accounts to your Macs as well.
From: iCloud: Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5813
If you would like one of your devices to not automatically have accounts setup with iCloud Keychain, you would have to turn off the feature in your settings.

Internet connection sharing between Mac Mini and Imac G3- how?

Ok, I'm trying to connect my G3 Imac (running 10.4.8) to my Mac Mini (also running 10.4.8) but it just wont work.
I've turned Internet Connection sharing on on my Mac Mini, and set it to share the airport connection to computers connected using Built in ethernet.
Network (on the M Mini) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active. Built-In Ethernet has a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet.
Network (on the G3) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.2.7. You are connected to the Internet via Built-In Ethernet.
When i try to go to a webpage on the G3 it fails stating, 'You are not connected to the Internet'.
I'm using a standard straight through ethernet cable, as I was told a while ago from apple support that it doesn't matter which u use, straight through or crossover.
Any help would be really appreciated
Macbook 2.0Ghz 2GB 80GB/Mac Mini 1.42Ghz 1GB 80GB/Imac G3 450Mhz 640MB 80GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OK after some playing about I can now manage to connect to the mac mini and vice versa to share files.
The iMac G3 now says it has an IP address of 192.168.2.18, and that it's connected to the internet via built-in ethernet. I've set configure IPV4 to Using DHCP.
Except it's not connected to the net.
If i select Using DHCP on the Mini it doesn't obtain an IP address, not even a self set one. So i've set a manual IP address on that, and everything shows up green. Airpot connected to the internet and Ethernet has an IP address of 192.168.2.30.
After reading some forums I set up firewall logging. The result is what happens on the Mac Mini when I use network diagnostics on the G3:
Feb 11 16:43:52 richard-xxxxx-mac-mini natd[394]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)
So I opened port 394 (not really knowing what i'm trying) but it had no effect.

Library settings in Jdeveloper (how to make it shared across projects)

I am using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.4
I have a folder called com-libraries (which means common libraries) with lots of jar files inside that folder and sub-folders. Currently I have to add one jar file at a time, but Is there a way of instead adding the path of the folder and am good to go?
Instead of adding libraries for each and every individual projects, I thought of using it across all the projects, like shared libraries.
I thought of adding it to tools -> Embedded OC4J Server Preferences -> Libraries.
I add my libraries successfully there. Those changes are reflected in application.xml file.
But still it does not take effect. I restarted Jdeveloper and but still no help. Is this an issue with Jdeveloper or am I doing something wrong here?
Is there some other way to use user libraries as shared libraries for all of my projects which I open locally? If yes, then how?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi user add the library to the Default Proyect Properties:
Tools > Default Proyect Properties >Libraries
You can create a new library with a lot of jars with a particular name "myLibrary":
Add Library > New or Load Dir.
Good Luck

How are user groups defined in Mac OS 10.x

Thus far, my guess is that Mac OS determines which users are members of particular pre-defined groups.
For example, if I want to give other users in my home network read and write permissions to a particular folder, I might add the pre-defined group 'netuser' to group in the get info window and give the group right and write permissions.
I am correct in this?
I used to administer a Windows NT server and workstations and could give permissions to domain users, as opposed to local users on the various machines.
I imagine it might be pretty much the same if I had Macintosh server software installed or whatever.
My chief concern is understanding permissions in relation to Qmaster distributed processing with a home network.
Advice and clarifications are most welcome.
--Cris

Thanks for the link to the ars tecnica site article on permissions and acl's.
Actually, I am quite happy with Unix group limitations. I am just still trying to understand how to create a group, and users to the group, and to control how new folders and files are given permissions inside their parent folders.
Can you recommend an article that explains how to create new groups, and associate users with groups?
I now have a case where I am trying to figure out how to use QMaster for distributed processing. I was observing problems writing to the second computer, a service node. Even when the first machine, client and cluster controller, was not listed in the upper pane of QAdmin as belonging to the cluster, cluster storage would default to the first machine. So, I made the second machine a cluster controller and service node as well, and sent a job from my first computer, the client, to a cluster that only had the second computer. This worked. Only problem, is that the new folders and file written in the cluster storage assigned to a folder on the second computer have ownership and group changed to the user which is my log in (admin) on the first computer. That in itself wouldn't necessarily be a problem save that I cannot delete the files from the first machine as my account doesn't have necessary permissions. Perhaps that is because earlier, in a botched effort to get Qmaster to work for me, I had created a local account on the second machine with the same name as my admin account on the first machine. That account is now deleted, and I have reset Qmaster preference many times since then, so this is may be a red herring.
The Apple document "Distributed Processing Set-up" says:
"All the computers in a cluster need Read and Write access to any computers (or storage devices) that will be specified as output destinations for files."
I'm just not sure how to go about that.
Thanks,
Cris

How to create print sharing for Mac and PC computers

Hello~ I hope someone can answer these questions... Thanks!
We are a small design office. We have trouble printing recently after we upgrade our Mac OSX v10.4.
We have:
2 PC computers (Window XP Home Edition)
1 Power Mac G4
1 Power Mac G5
1 PowerBook G4
1 Epson Stylus Pro 4000 large format printer
1 hp laserjet 3030 fax/copier/printer
We used to transfer the PC files to the server and print from Mac. We were able to print with 'shared printer' if one Mac computer is connected to the printer. After we upgraded 1 Power Mac G4 to OSX v10.4, we can no longer use the 'shared printer' for the other Mac computers. We cannot find the printer under 'shared printer' in the Adobe application, such as Illustrator and Photoshop.
We would like to set up the print sharing system that both Mac and PC computers can send files to the prints without putting files to the server or switching the printers. Can anyone help please? Many thanks!
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

There are a couple of disadvantages with formatting a
disk as FAT32. Firstly, there is a limit on the file
size for FAT32. I think it like 2 GB so if you
capturing video the results will probably not fit
into this file limit. Secondly FAT32 will not be
bootable. I alway clone my system to a backup disk as
bootable. That way if anything goes wrong with my
system, I can just boot from my backup disk and fix
it.
The problem with doing this though is that the drive will not be usable with Windows (which was in the original posting) unless you use the third party MacDrive software on the PC.

How are GL Accounts assigned with item categories in Sales Order

Please advise;
- how and where GL accounts are assigned with item categories appearing in the sales order?
Points confirmed.
regardss

We have number of sales document types and item categories. The sales order numbers are also different for hardware and software categories, so is the sales organization, plant and company code.
Usually, the hardware orders contain line items for software but the item category used is for hardware and therefore, it gets posted to the incorrect (hardware) GL account. Is this happening due to MATERIAL TYPE/CODES.
We are using separate GL accounts for both.
Where and what controls could be developed to prevent this?
Please let me know if you need further information.

Unable to activate my high speed internet account with a mac os 10.5

I have a big problem with the activation of my line. I have subscribed to high speed internet.
The agent came to my house to install the jack but when I'm trying to run the installation on my computer with the cd or directly with internet it's stops when smart acces opens (I have a Mac OS X 10.5). Could somebody help me ? Thanks

In almost all cases, internet is "plug and play" on newer computers.
If you need to install filters, they need to go between the phone and the jack for every phone you have on the same line as the DSL. The modem does not get a filter.
If you need to set up your username and password, you will need to log in with your default Verizon-assigned id. If you were not given this, then contact tech support and ask for your "vzid" and have them reset your password. You should then be able to log into verizon.net and click on the My Account page. On the My Account page, you can set your username, create sub accounts, manage your billing, add an alias to your account, etc.
Does that cover what you needed, or is there something more?

Anyone know how to keep accounts offline in Mac Mail?

Hi,
I use Mac Mail for business and personal accounts. I'm trying to prevent myself from getting distrated with personal email while I'm working, but I want to be able to recieve emails to my business account. So I take my personal accounts offline, and just keep my business account online when I'm working. But the problem is if I click the Get Mail button it takes all my accounts back online. Anyone know, is this a bug or is there some way around this? I can click on the mail box and select Syncronize account, but would be easier if I could just click the Get Mail btn without taking all the accounts online....
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Internet tabs sharing across devices

Hello,
Two of the machines in our office have recently started sending Chrome and Safari tabs to each other every time a page is opened. If someone opens a page, an Icon pops up on the other computer's dock like this:
When selecting this icon, the webpage then opens up on the other computer. We've been looking everywhere but can't find what this feature is called and how to turn it off. Could anyone who recognises this let us know?
Thanks very much
Owen

In the General pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked

How are Optimization Settings shared between users?

How can I export the saved Settings I have created for Optimization so others can use them?

You may have to poke around the files Acrobat creates to find them (I don't think Adobe documents this). I created a custom setting in the PDF Optimizer dialog.
I found it on my Mac in this path:
Users > [my user name] > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Acrobat > 10.0 [because I was using Acrobat X] > PDF Optimizer.
My file was called "Test.optimize"

How can i transfer my 'internet accounts' to a new(but already in use ) mac , so mail, contacts , agenda , etc. work exactly like on the older device?

i started using a new macbook pro 15" mid 2014.
now i have a lot of different email adressen ( from school , gmail , hotmail , ... ) .
i tried to set them up manually , with succes on the gmail ones . but hotmail doesn't work good, some don't work at all.
hotmail's contacts are missing in contacts app etc.
really annoying.
so i was wondering if maybe i could just import my ' internet accounts ' in whole , to the new computer. through maybe a time machine backup of the older device?
is this possible ?
im talking about the 'internet accounts' not the user account.
thanks in advance !
grt,
Cedric

If I copy my current iTunes library to the new computer, what will happen when I plug my iPod in?
if you copy the iTunes folder from the old to the new Mac, your Touch will just continue to sync with iTunes as if nothing happened.
make sure you copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder).

If I have an IPhone and my mother has an IPod, how can we share an iTunes account on a Mac without sharing the music?
