How do I allow all users on a single computer access to music without duplicating songs?

There has got to be a way to allow all users on a single computer access to a single -shared- directory without DUPLICATING the songs, but I can't figure it out. Tried Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Change, but the songs do not show up. Tried Sharing the folders. Tried Public Folders. Just want all my songs in one place to save space, prevent duplicates. Please advise.

Move the iTunes folder from its current location to, say, C:\iTunes.
With each account in turn press and hold down shift and click the icon to start iTunes, keep holding until asked to Choose or create a library.
Choose the library at C:\iTunes, or wherever you put it.
Job done.

HT1751 How do I allow other users on my mac to access my music library?

Hi I have a macbook and my wife is also a user. I've followed instructions to try and move my iTunes media folder to a public location but basically can't find a public location that's accessible to drag a folder to. It only shows up on Bootcamp and I just can't see it on the left pane.
All sharing settings are on.
Thanks for any tips, I'm not good with computers....I know

How do I set all users to have complete permission access to all other users on a single Macbook?

How do I set all users to have complete permission access to all other users on a single Macbook? When one user uploads a picture from camera, the other user is told they don't have permission to view. Same with music.

Go to System preference> accouts>unlock>click+and add name of new user, Adrop dowm window will appear, new Account and set for Admi, fill in their name, to make things even more simple, use the same password for all,if it will allow it. Click ceate account. Click allow user to admin this computer.Then go to sys prefs, sharing and click all the things you want to let everyone use, If you use separeate paswords then each user can set their own preferences. All users can be set as as administrator, click allow access for all users. This will allow every one pretty much the same access.
OH yeah reart the computer sfter added a new user, and test the new login, if it's good coninue.

How do I remove all user changes in a computer program?

I am doing a favor for a teacher friend of mine. She works at a small career school. There are 18 computers all running Practice Partner and MediSoft.
These programs are very large. They have been uninstalling and re installing them every 9 weeks when they have a new class so they can erase all the changes the previous class made. These programs are used in Electronic Health Records in doctor's offices.
Once you create a "patient" in the software, there seems to be no way to remove these changes without installing the respective programs fresh. I tried to install the program, create a restore point, make changes, then use the restore point. The
changes I made, the "patient" I created, is still there. I have tried to change the program information in the registry files, that does not seem to work either. Is there a way to do like a ":factory reset" to remove this data? Thank you
for your help!

Hi,
You could use APp-V for these applications, then you can reset them and remove all user modifications without reinstalling them..

Allow All Users To Add List Items But Only Certain users To Edit Them (SharePoint 2013)

How do we allow all users to add items to a list, but only allow certain users to edit the list items? Site is SharePoint 2013. We have tried creating custom permissions. That does not seem to work.

I've setup a custom list on my SharePoint Foundation using a custom permission level to accomplish this. I setup a custom permission level on the site called 'Add Only to Lists' which allows adding an item to the list and setup the group with
the default read and the custom permission level and it works. The users in the group get the add item but do not get edit item, not even items they created themselves.
Any users who should have full edit permissions can be setup under the normal edit/contribute/design permission level and work normal.
Below is the Role Definition pulled via PowerShell and Role Assignments on the list in question. As well as a picture showing what it looks like to something assigned that role level.
Role Definition
Name : Add Only to list
Description : Can add items to a list but cannot edit or delete
Type : None
Hidden : False
Order : 2147483647
BasePermissions : ViewListItems, AddListItems, Open, ViewPages
List Role Assignments
Member : Home Visitors
RoleDefinitionBindings : {Read, Add Only to list}
Parent : IT Equipment Request
ParentSecurableObject : IT Equipment Request
The user can create a new item, but cannot edit items - not even items he created.

How can I allow other users on my macbook to view my iphoto library when they are logged in. I do not have a network, and the users (my family) all log in seperately when they use the computer. Does anyone know? Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If you want others 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(s). In the other account(s), enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in their source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

How do I allow another user to use office for mac

I installed Office 365 while I was the only user but now I have added another user but they cannot access office, how do I give them permission?

Hi,
I have tried to recreate this myself, and your right even after changing ownerships and movie the iPhoto library to the public folder ( Harddrive/Users/Sharing) the second account is still not allowed to access the library. This is strange behaviour because moving the iTunes Music Library to Sharing does allow all users to access the library.
All I can suggest is that you deselect the option in iPhoto preferences (Advanced) to "copy files to iPhoto library" then store your photos in a folder that resides in the Harddrive/Users/Sharing folder - then your wife can use the import command to add them to her copy of iPhoto (she should also deselect the copy to library option)

Allow all users to choose startup disk

Is there any way to allow all users to choose the startup disk on the OS X side? We want non admin users to be able to reboot to windows without having to hold down the option button when booting.

There are two methods for what you want to do.
1. Remotely - Boot Camp: Set the startup disk remotely from a server
2. Locally - How to choose a startup disk on your Mac - Apple Support

How do I make web shortcuts into start screen tiles that can be pushed to all users profile on a computer in Windows 8.1 enterprise?

We are trying to roll out Windows 8.1 Enterpise in our school system (K-12).
The focus of this question is how do we take an internet web based shortcut and make it into a screen tile (on the start screen) which will appear for any user's start screen that logs on to the computer?
The details:
We came upon a great paper that's entitled "Customize Windows 8.1 Start Screens by Using Group Policy".
By applying this paper we were able to accomplish our first goal: Lock down the start screen so no user could change it. We accomplished this by using the Start Screen Layout policy setting laid out in the paper.
Our second goal: to customize the start screen is only half way met. We can set up the start screen the way we want and then export the .xml file. We are able to "reimport" the .xml file when the new user logs in. The installed programs
will appear on the Start Screen but not the internet based web shortcuts that were on the inital setup start screen.
(FYI - tried creating these tiles by running the start screen internet explorer app to the intended address and pinning them to the start screen. At this time trying to figure if there is a place to put desktop internet short cuts into a directory to make
them appear on the Start Screen).
We can see that the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs is a place for program files to appear on the start screen. Is there a location web based shortcuts can be placed to cause them to automatically appear on the start
screen for every user as well? If not how do we accomplish getting these into tiles for every user logging in?
Sorry for the lengthy explanation. Hopefully it gets our question answered and helps others out there in the same boat!

Karen-
Results: Did not work. The web based shortcuts did not appear.
Below is the steps taken with your tips incorporated. (Again it's lengthy sorry about that, but anyone can recreate what was done here. Maybe someone can see something left out by doing/reviewing it).
Here is what was done:
1. Installed a fresh install of Windows 8.1 enterprise on a pc. No updates were ran.
2. During setup created the admin account.
3. Logged into the account a simple start screen was arranged and setup by:
Starting desktop Internet Explorer. Going to Technet's website. Clicked tools and then selecting "Add site to Apps" from the drop down menu. Went to Apps screen, right clicked and pinned it to start screen. Repeated this procedure with an
educational web based site.
Right clicked a few provisioned apps and unpinned them from the start screen.
Made a few groups and labeled them. Web based shortcuts were arranged with one provisioned app in that particular group.
4. Opened a Powershell, right clicked it and ran as administrator. Typed the following:
export-startlayout -path C:\Users\Public\Master.xml -as xml
(Master is the name chosen for this test .xml file and was put in a location all users would have privelages to access it).
5. Opened the command prompt and right clicked and "ran as administrator", typed in gpedit.
6. In the Local Group Policy under User Configuration, under Start Menu and Taskbar I choose the Start Screen Layout.
7. Enabled the policy and typed in: C:\Users\Public\Master.xml for the Start Layout File.
8. Opened computer management, under Local Users and Groups I chose Users, right clicked in the middle screen and created a new user called Alpha.
9. Logged out of the inital account and logged into newly created Alpha account.
10. When the Alpha account logged in the start screen came up with everything changed in the inital account but no web based shortcuts were found on the start screen or App view.

My storage is mostly full of a category labeled "other." I'm out of memory to the extent that it won't even allow me to update apps. I have moved all photos over to my computer and my music streams through the cloud. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

How do I allow another user to access my pictures, etc?

Hi
still getting used to the Mac feel, after switching over from Windows, and I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to.
I have the following issue:
Under my account, I have all our family photos and documents. I have also set up a user account for my wife. When she logs on, she can't access our photos, etc., because she has no read/write rights. (Which is logic, since they are my "private" folders.
I have then logged on myself, used the "info" button on the respective folders in order to give her user the rights to access my folders, but I can't seem to "allow everyone" to access the folder(s). What are the settings I need to use?
Thanks

How do I allow my users to set the option to save a new timezone for future sessions?

The option to save a newly selected timezone for future sessions has been greyed-out
in the Calendar Client. How can I allow my users to choose this option?
<P>
This is controlled by the settimezone setting on the Calendar Server. By
default, it is set to FALSE. You can change the value to TRUE in the
unison.ini settings. The
Calendar Server must be restarted for the change to take effect.

Hi,
Based my research, OOB SharePoint don’t allow anonymous users to contribute contents(Edit, Upload and Add) into list and library.
This is by design behavior, and it’s a consideration about security in order to help protect your site from potential script injection attacks.
For anonymous users, only the View Item permission is available for libraries.
If you want to know more about this, please refer to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-sharepoint-services-help/enable-anonymous-access-HA010113018.aspx
Hope this helps
Thanks!

How can I allow a user (client) to choose a local image file (on his hard d

How can I allow a user (client) to choose a local image file (on his hard drive) and modify it using an applet from his browser ? I am trying to develop a web page that enables the user to choose an Image file, manipulate the image using a java applet, and display the results.
Using Java�s �JFileChooser� does not work when called from a browser, probably due to security privileges issues. On the other hand, I can choose and upload any file using a JavaScript form:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="process.asp">
<INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="file1"><BR>
�
It seems that I can choose an image file with a Java script form and process an image with an applet. How can I choose a file AND process it locally ?
(I do not wish to upload the file to the server using JavaScript form and then back to the client�s applet for processing since it will be a tremendous waste of resources).
Will appreciate any solution.
Thanks !
( my email is: [email protected] )

You can do this if you sign the applet...
