How do I install an application for multiple users?

... not only for the administrator...

They are all set up for multiple users if they are in the applications folder.

  • Installing applications for multiple users

    I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. I am a longtime Mac user, but always on a single machine with a single user account. Now I have finally convinced my wife to make the switch to Mac and we will be sharing a new Mac Mini.
    My question is this. When I go to install a new application (like MS Office or iWorks), how do I install it so it is available to both users? My plan is to create an admin account and then a standard user account for my wife and for me. Would I move into the admin account to install software?
    Thanks in advance for any answers!

    As long as you install applications into their usual location: /Applications, the Applications folder at the root level of your computer's directory, the applications should be available to all users. You can install from any account, but you will have to supply admin authentication (username, password).

  • JWS installed client application for all users on one PC

    For a PC (or Mac), Can one install a client application using Java Web Start & JNLP for all users on
    that particular machine? If so, how do you do it?
    thanks,
    Phil

    This is a new feature in the 1.5 version of Java Web Start (seperate system cache) see:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jws/enhancements-1.5.0.html, and
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/index.html
    Normally, applications are installed in each users cache.

  • How do i enable office applications for all user accounts on the same machine?

    Hi All,
    I just purchased a new MBA and Office Hame & Business. Coming from the windows world I thought that one installation of office should be available to all accounts that I set up on the same machine.  I set-up the user accounts then installed office 2011 for MAC and tried to access office from my daughters account -> can not locate office?  Does MS expect that you need to purchase a separate copy of office for each user on the same machine??  I also don't want to waste precious harddrive space in the MBA to have separate copies of the same application installed.
    Any help would be appreciated....
    Andrew

    One install allows all your users to use Office.  All your users have access to the Applications folder where the office apps are installed.  Do you see the office folder from your daughters account in applications?

  • How do I startup an application for all users at login?

    I know about launchd, but I want an application to start whenver a user logs in and run as that user.  launchd stuff seems to run as root.
    I would prefer to set this up to work for all users, but if that can't be done, just for the current user.  I have an installer package and Id like to run this command to set this up from a bash script.

    I found this bit of code which is very similar to something else I found.
    defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary -array-add '{ "Path" = "/path/to/script"; "Hide" = "0"; }'
    That doesn't work.  Anyone at all, even for a single user, how do I script a command to get an application to start when a user logs in under 10.8?

  • Live video application for multiple users with RTMFP

    Hi
    We developed a live video application in Flex that uses RTMP. In one session up to 5 users are able to publish their stream and up to 20 users can join a group. For saving bandwidth costs and making use of lower latency with UDP we check RTMFP. From reading the documentation it seems that RTMFP multicast is the way to go.
    Our frist results and additional research surfaced two 2 issues:
    - Streams have a live delay (which seems to be multicastwindowduration + buffertime) that takes up to 30 sec to disappear but seems to increase again
    - The application allows one user to change the size of a published video (camera.setMode). This causes a freeze with RTMFP for the publisher and all subscribers. Changing the size several times can cause to make the video work again for the publisher and subscriber (some bugs are already reported here)
    For solving these issues I wonder:
    1.) Is RTMFP multicast able to deliver a low latency solution that is needed for face to face v/a communication?
    2.) if yes - are there any settings suggested by Adobe for the RTMFP NetStream multicast properties (like multicastwindowduration property) and if not can you give me some hints what would work for reduce the latency that face to face communication gets acceptable?
    3.) How to deal with the setMode issue - does this happen because I misconfigured RTMFP or is this API not supported? Will unpublish and publish solve the issue (what api series do I need to use to do so?)
    Best regards,
    Marc

    1) any practical use of P2P multicast will have a delay measured in seconds. it shouldn't go to 30 seconds unless you have a large NetStream.bufferTime.
    2) i strongly recommend against changing the multicast stream parameters. they all interact with each other. decreasing the window duration will decrease the effective reliability of the stream, by reducing the amount of time to receive all of the fragments of the stream as they pass through the P2P group -- especially when people join or leave the group, which can disrupt the low latency "push" trees that are constructed in the group.
    3) you should be able to change the encoding parameters on the fly without a major disruption. are you using H.264 or Sorenson Spark?  it's possible that your camera doesn't like to have its capture size changed and it is freezing temporarily.  i'm not having any trouble changing the capture size with my camera (and using H.264).  i recall there being some issue with changing the frames-per-second on the fly (at least some time ago, and i don't remember what the issue is) -- there was enough of an issue that i disabled it in my little app while actively publishing.

  • Updating applications for multiple users

    I have set up multiple user accounts on my mac pro so that I can restrict my kid's access to applications and the web. Trouble is that I am unable to update his browser and flash plug-in. My default browser is Firefox 17.0, Flash Player 11.5.502.110 but his shows up as Firefox 3! I have scrolled through the Parental Controls: Allowed Apps list looking in vain for a way to select the *right* browser version, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    Thanks for responding, Kirk. Per your suggestion I checked the parental controls panel to see which apps folder was selected and found that there seemed to be no way to navigate to a particular folder. It simply offers an option named "Other Apps". Next I looked at the User/blah/Applications folder and found that there was none--so parental controls must be pointing to the HD/Applications folder.

  • How do you limit TOC navigation for multiple users on one computer?

    If you have 5 Adobe Captivate 5.5. Projects linked together to play consecutively how can you set up a TOC so that each new user starts from the beginning  and can only go back to slides that the new user has viewed?  We have  the TOC set to Enable Navigation, Navigate Visited Slides Only, and View Status Flag. This is a required training video that will be taken by many users.  We need them to be able to go back to the sections that they already viewed but not be able to see the sections that others have already watched.  In other words, we don't want them to be able to advance ahead to the sections that the previous test takers have viewed.
    Message was edited by: DOLOnlineTrainers
    Problems:
    •     Remove the TOC and they have no navigation abilities to see something they may have missed
    •     Keep it in and the viewer can advance to parts they have not viewed as the previous user set the ability
    •     Put a back button in and they can only go back one at a time and have no ability to get back to where they were if they keep hitting back other than watch over
    •     Tried the clear button in TOC under status flag which clears the status flags yet it only works on one section at a time and does not clear all linked projects
    •     Is there something we are missing? Tried reading blogs and really can’t pinpoint problem

    To get each user to have a different experience when viewing the content, you need to have some way for each user to be uniquely identified, otherwise the browser has no way of knowing that THIS is not the same person that was looking at the content an hour ago.  The way this is normally achieved is by getting users to log in as a different profile. 
    There's no EASY way I can think of to achieve what you want WITHOUT users having different profiles.  You would need to get some custom HTML programming done by someone that basically mimicked separate browser sessions under the same login.  It's theoretically possible, but I've never been required to do anything like this.

  • How to alter the default profile for multiple users

    I am trying to alter the default profile assigned to users during user creation to a new profile. I know to change the profile for one user using the syntax
    alter user abc profile profileabc
    The issue I have is that there are 100's of users under default profile and changing for each of them manually would be difficult. The approach that I see is to write a shell script where I connect to the db and get a list of all the users with default profile. Then I loop through the file making connection to the db each time and executing the alter statement.
    Please help if you think that there can be a more efficient approach to this.
    Thanks

    Thanks in advance.HTTP is a request/response protocol. You can't do what you're suggesting without "pushing" what you type to all the other users. That's not the way HTTP works. Maybe an applet and servlet.

  • How to setup a shared addressbook for multiple users (Family) or a group?

    I want to have a centralized addressbook for my family and thought, the addressbookserver would provide that.
    I have actually setup 2 useraccounts on the server, activated the addressbookservice and set up a new addressbookaccount in Mail, Contacts, Calender on the clients.
    What I get is two individual addressbooks hosted on the server.
    What I wanted to get is to see a common addressbook for group contacts.
    What did I wrong?
    Where on the server are the addressbook files stored?
    Thanks in advance

    thx for reading, actually I found the answers a few seconds after posting my questions in " More like this".

  • WebStart Single Install for multiple users

    Has anyone figured out how to solve the problem of having to install the software for multiple users now?
    With recent versions of the Sun WebStart, the cache directory has changed to the user's personal directory.
    It used to be that the cache directory was a common shared directory off the C: drive.
    For the software we have developed, it was great to install once as the admin, download the files so that they are cached, and then copy the links to the all users desktop which pointed at that shared location.
    Now there appears to be no way to do this. We've looked to find the default cache location to change it, but there is no way to specify this (that we've found).
    I know I can change each user's cache directory to point to a common location, but it means signing on as each user and making this change manually which takes a considerable more time than it did before. Java WebStart was the EASY way to install the software before (and did not require a browser). Now it is harder than just using a browser with the plugin. We'd like to get the browser out of the picture though still.
    I can see how this feature could benifit individual users who only want their own programs to show up , but we really need to make it work like before for ease of use. With the number of users we are dealing with, it would be very difficult to tell them to click on a link to install the program but only do that the first time, then start using the new link that is created by the program.
    Any suggestions from anyone?

    Sorry, I just realized this is in the wrong forum.
    I'll go post it in a more correct forum instead.
