How can I create a custom environment for the guest user in Mavericks?

Hello Mavericks insiders
I need to setup several new MacBooks running Mavericks for school use. We want to use guest because everything is reset at each login. However, I first need to permanently customise the environment for the guest user:
- doing program first runs
- adjusting printer settings
- dock settings
- wallpper
I think I have to copy certain library files in the Terminal. Which files exactly? From where to where? What is the correct Terminal syntax to do so?
Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

  • How can I create a custom dock for all users?

    Hello,
    I would like to create a custom dock for everyone that uses a certain Mac. I have found a bunch of stuff, but it is outdated. Most of the tutorials are for 10.4 or 10.5. I am using 10.7.4 and I have found nothing regarding that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I create a custom button for opening a form?

    I have a parent form having child forms. In my main form I want to create custom buttons for opening child forms. I want to use master-detail form but there are more than one child forms, and in master-detail form I can only create one detail form. So I will create a form based on a table and in that form I will call the child forms by custom buttons. Can I do that?
    Thanx,
    Gulsah.

    This can be easily done. First open up two instances of your Portal. In one window, you will need to go into your component you wish to link FROM. In the other window you will need to go into your component you wish to link TO. In the component you wish to link TO there will be a moduleid. Note this somewhere. Then, you will see an area that says: "Call Interface: Show". Click on this. (In the window you are linking to.). In this window, you will see a bunch of stuff. At the bottom you will see a URL call. This is the call you need to use. At the top, it explains each piece of the URL call. Just subsitute YOUR appropriate information into the URL call. In the form you wish to link FROM, create a button. Once you create this button, it will appear at the bottom, click on it and you will see an area to insert a Javascript. Click the onClick and insert:
    //this is the variable you want to pass from one form to the other
    get_field_name = getField(this.form,'COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE');
    //this is so you can open the "child" form
    window.open('/pls/cc_prod/DAD_NAME.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=MOD_ID_HERE&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE&p_arg values='+GETFIELD_NAME+'&p_arg_names=_COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE_cond&p_arg_values=%3D');
    In the fourth tab, where it says, "....before displaying form" insert the following: (This will tell the form how to handle the getField function.)
    htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
    < !--
    function getField(form,fieldName)
    var objName = "";
    var tmp = "";
    var dAction = "";
    var sel_idx = 0;
    var cnt = 0;
    var instance = 0;
    var slicedName;
    var fillData = new Array();
    for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
    slicedName = form.elements.name.split(".");
    tmp = slicedName[2];
    instance = parseInt(slicedName[3],10);
    if (!tmp)
    continue;
    objName = tmp;
    if (objName == fieldName)
    return form.elements[i].value;
    //-->
    </script>');
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I have different access control for the guest network (different than the main network)?

    I am trying to control my main wireless network with access control via mac id with no password. I wanted a separate guest network with password access and no access control. However, the only way that the guest network works is if I specify unlimited access as the default. Is what I am trying to do possible.

    I am trying to control my main wireless network with access control via mac id with no password.
    Definitely not a recommended method for security. MAC addresses are easily cloned by anyone who wants to do so with free tools available on the Internet. An unwanted guest will be on your network in less than a minute if they want to be.
    Strongly recommend that you use WPA2 Personal security with a non-dictionary password to protect your network.

    Unfortunately, Apple does not allow separate Access Control for the "main" and "guest" networks. It's all or nothing, I am afraid.
    Likely, the  "best" way to set up Access Control is change the default rule to No Access, Then you will need to enter in the details for every device that you want to allow to connect for both the "main" and "guest" networks with the time limits for each device.

  • How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

    Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe.  I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar.  How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!!  I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
    Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

  • How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6?

    How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6? I have read references to the "desktop" setting but cannot find it. I am trying to find the right settings for a 1080 px x 486 px video (which I need to qualify for hi res on Vimeo).  I need to output a 450 x 1000 px video for
    my website. Ideally, I'd like the sequence settings as well as the output settings. I am using still shots- no actual video.

    What are the exact properties of the still images, particularly the pixel dimensions and pixel aspect ratio (PAR).* The letterboxing (black bars top & bottom) is most likely a result of a mismatch in these settings. If this is the case, then the easiest fix is to make sure not only the dimensions but the PAR match.
    Say for instance your source images are 1000x1000 with a PAR of 1.0 (square pixels) and your sequence is set also set to 1000x1000 but with the PAR set to D1/DV NTSC (0.9091), the result would be letterboxing as seen here:
    *if you're not sure about the PAR of your source images, right click on one of them in the Project panel and select Properties.

    By default, iTunes convert files to type AAC which has an extension of .m4a
    For iTunes to recognize them as Audiobook files, the extension needs to change from .m4a to .m4b
    This can be done a number of different ways. Here are 2 (beginner and advanced)
    . simply, by renaming each file from windows explorer
    . more complex, by using Start/Run/cmd to get a "DOS" type window,
    using the command "cd" to change to the directory that your files are in
    and entering "ren *.m4a *.m4b"

  • HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

  • HT5622 How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

    How can I create an Apple ID for my child without linking it to a credit card?

    Hi Kappy..
    that did use to be the case but ios 8 you can create a child's Apple ID which will stay linked to the main Apple ID until they are 13 when they can if you wish take over the Apple ID themselves.
    I Have the same question regarding creating an Apple ID for my son but it insists I have to add a credit card to prove I'm an adult.
    thing is I don't have another card to add to my Apple ID I have been using the same card for all my family's Apple purchases i just update my details when I get issued a new one.
    Any ideas or suggestions greatly accepted.
    cheers
