How do I make a folder available only to a specified group?

I want to put a folder in my Public folder but only allow access to that folder to specific individuals here in my office.
I think that each of those users have to have an account on my machine.
I think I have to use NetInfo Manager to create a new group with those accounts and set the R/W access to that group.
Other postings in this forum talk about duplicating existing groups (e.g. admin) and changing the GID and all kinds of scary technical stuff.
Isn't there a simpler way?

I agree that Netinfo Manager's user interface is pretty miserable for creating new workgroups.
An easier way to do it is to download and install the Server Admin Tools from Apple.
Once you get that installed, look in /Applications/Server for Workgroup Manager. When it asks you to enter the domain, enter localhost, and use your admin username/password for the rest.
On the left side, there will "users" and "groups" buttons. With those it is easy to create a custom group and assign any number of users to it.
When it is done, you are ready to apply the group privilege to the desired folder. Right-click the folder and select Get Info, under Group privilege, apply the new group, and set the permissions accordingly.

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection? I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.

It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can also try to remove them from the images folder and the My videos folder, because this is where the Gallery will look for pictures and videos, and put them in another folder then reorganize them in sub folders within your new folder

Garage Band isn't reading my entire iTunes Library, am I missing something in the settings? how do I make entire library available?

Garage Band isn't reading my entire iTunes Library, am I missing something in the settings? how do I make entire library available?

In general, whatever you see in your iTunes app (playlists, songs, etc) should also be displayed in GarageBand when you select the Audio tab in the Media Browser.
One hidden feature is that you can have multiple iTunes Libraries (as you can have multiple iPhoto Libraries).
When you click on the iTunes icon in the Dock and immediately after the click hold down the option key, the following window will pop up.
It lets you create a new empty Library or choose to open a different existing Library (that you have created before). Whatever Library you chose the last time you opened iTunes will be the "current" iTunes Library and that is the one that is displayed in GarageBand. (it is a system wide preference). You even can have GarageBand open while switching to a different iTunes Libraries and GarageBand will update the displayed Media Browser content.
Here are two screenshots of my GarageBand app displaying two different iTunes Libraries
So in case you used that feature, you might see a different iTunes content than you expected.
(BTW, this "multiple Libraries" feature comes in also very handy with iPhoto, where you can have separate Libraries for you family, your band, your business, or whatever you want to separate photos. Also good for individual backups)
Hope that helps

How do I make iTunes music available in more than one user account?

I have 2 user accounts on my computer. One for me and one for my wife. What I'm wondering is how I can make it so that the music in iTunes in my user account can also be available in her user account. When I'm on her user account iTunes is empty and there are no songs in it. I want for her to be able to have my same library in her iTunes. How can I do this?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Bob,
you could try coping all your music onto an external drive & choose that drive as both of yours music folders. It should work... I think.
Or just burn a data disc of your tracks & import them to the second account.
I've not got two accounts on my machine but the above should work, in theory. Give them a try. Though I'm unsure about purchased tracks.

How can I make Keynote files read-only (eg: to share with students)?

I would like to share some keynote files with students, and I would like to set them up as read-only, so that the students can tap the screen, read my presentation, but not alter it. I've tried to set the files up as read-only on my iMac desktop, but when I load the file onto my iPad, it's still editable.
Any ideas re: how to make Keynote files read-only?
I've tried to export the files as PDF and load them into iBook, but some of Keynote's basic "build" functions won't work this way. Specifically, I have files set up with questions and answers (ie - a question appears, and you have to tap the screen to see the answer, but this "build" function seems to disappear when I get it to show up in iBook).
Any ideas how to make Keynote files read-only? I am happy to use another program, but I want the students to tap the screen in order to see the answer to a question.
Thanks!

as long as $PATH is set, you shouldn't need to reconnect them (i think). if you send the list of apps through | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}' | that'll strip the path
/edit: added the "(i think)" part

how do i make more space avaialble for mavericks update

One place to check is the hidden Library folder under your user account. From the Finder Menu click Go > Go To Folder > Enter: ~/Library/
IF YOU ARE UNSURE DO NOT DELETE SOMETHING
You may be able to find refrences to old applications that you have uninstalled. There is another folder inside that one called Application Support (~/Library/Application Support/). Same idea goes here, old software folders can be safely blown away. Don't forget to empty the Trash!
Bonus Points?
You can use the same technique on the /Library folder aswell!
Happy Deleting!
