How do I let other users on my MacBook Pro update apps that I've downloaded?
I recently left a position as an IT at a school district where I was put in charge of all Mac products district wide. Most of the important apps, such as Apple Configurator or Remote Desktop, were downloaded using a district Apple ID, but many of the apps downloaded (regrettably) were through my own personal Apple ID. Is there a way to allow other accounts on the computer to update these apps without my Apple ID and password? If not, is there a way we can at least re-download those apps via the district Apple ID and transfer the data to that one? Running Mac OS 10.8.5 on a mid 2011 MacBook Pro. Thanks in advance for any help.
That's a lot of travel. Hope she's a hottie!!! But I'll skip the poutine. Not one of my favorites. Been to Whistler in the summer, and the skiing isn't all that good. Not enough sand.

How can I allow other users on my macbook to view my iphoto library when th
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 delete a user from my macbook pro?
How do I delete a user from my macbook pro?
If you've admin privileges and there are no files in the user account that you want to keep, just go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock it with your admin password. Select the user that you want to delete and click on the minus button. You'll get a warning before you completely delete the user but once it's gone, it's gone.

Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.
Two options:
Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial. http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.

Transfering librarys between 2 user accts on MacBook Pro
So when I bought my new MacBook Pro, I started a new user account and imported my user acct from my Black MacBook. This may have been a mistake because now I have an iTunes library and an iPhoto library for each user. I would like to import these libraries from my old MacBook user acct to the new acct I set up on the new MacBook Pro. Is there a way to do this? I ultimately want to delete the old MacBook acct and just have one user on my MacBook Pro. Does that make sense?
Thanks!
TYour problem is, one user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have access to another user's stuff. That's kinda the point of separate accounts.
There's no eay way to "merge" accounts. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.
Your best bet is probably to start over, and use Setup Assistant. See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups? and note the green "Second chance" box there. -
Moving Libraries between users on same MacBook Pro

TLog into the old account. Drag the Libraries to the Users/Shared folder.
Switch to the new Account. Drag the Libraries to the Pictures or Music folders as appropriate.

How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?
Try connecting the iPad to the computer that you do not want to WiFi sync with and uncheck the WiFi sync option in iTunes. Then click on Apply. Reboot the iPad and see if that does the trick.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
On an IMAC, how do you block other users id showing up on your wifi settings?
On an IMAC,
how do you block other users id showing up on your wifi network?Can you clarify what you mean?
If you're seeing multiple wifi networks as well as yours, that's normal. It will display any networks within range. It doesn't mean you're connected to them or that they're on your network.

How do I set up an additional user on my MacBook Pro?
Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups. Then click on the lock (if it's locked), to unlock the pane. You will have to put in your password. Then click on the + to add an account. Add a password, and give it privileges. You can make an admin account (not recommended if you're letting a stranger or a kid use your computer, but that's your choice). Hope this helps.
