How do I mount an airport drive for multiple logged in users

I have a large shared drive for itunes storage. I have 4 users and if I mount the drive for one user, if another user logs in it gets -1 appended. Is it possible to mount the drive for a single mount point for all users?

Hi,
Old thread I know, but I'm having a very similar problem. Did you find a solution?
For anyone else that could possibly help:
I have a network attached storage with a shared drive on it (call it 'shared'). I have an iMac (Mavericks) with two user logins (call them 'me' and 'her'). I have the drive auto mounting on first login for each user with a basic script:
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "smb://me:[email protected]/shared"
end tell
All good so far. The problem is whoever logs in first after a reboot gets the drive named "shared" whoever logs in second gets "shared-1". Doesn't seem like a problem except programs reference the drive, so whoever has "shared-1" gets an ! next to every song in the shared iTunes library.
Does anyone know of a way to get two users on the same machine to mount the same drive (with different credentials) and not have OSX append the "-1"?
Cheers.

The Radeon 9000 driver works for the Radeon 7500 card. I have successfully used it on a T43 with Vista Ultimate x86

Unfortunately no. The Radeon 9000 driver should bring your graphics score up to close to 2, but it will not get it high enough to enable Aero support.

How Do You Test a Flash Drive for Errors Using OS X?

HI. In Windows there are Flash Drive tester that tests if there's something wrong with the Flash drive's chips. How do you test a flash drive for errors on OS X? I bought the HP v220w which is tiny for a 16GB and it's metal. The whole thing goes into the plug. Design wise, it is great, it's very elegant like a jewelry. Thanks in advance.
Gbu.

Format it for OS X and run a surface scan on the partition. That should show any hardware problems that don't keep it from working altogether.

How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

Hello,
I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
"Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
where 'ABC' is the query name.
Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
A fast reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

How do I resend an invite email for one of the user in my Aruba Central account?

Q: How do I resend an invite email for one of the user in my Aruba Central account?
A: Aruba Central allows administrator to create multiple user of different access levels to help manage the system. As new uses are created by administrator, an invitation email is sent to the user's email address to activate the account.
In certain situations, these emails get into spam or junk folders with no visibility to end-user. These are cases, where re-sending an invitation email is of much helpful.
Follow these steps to resend invite email to a specific user:
Login to Aruba Central and click on "All Groups"
In the left-menu, click on "Maintenance" and then "User Management"
Clik on "Resend Invite email" and mention the email address you wanted to send the invite again:

By default, the Menu Type option for menus is set to Top Level Pages. You can change this behavior by choosing Menu Type > All Pages from the menu options. The steps to do this are described in Adding a Horizontal Menu widget

How can I know the security role of the logged in user

When you design an enterprise bean or Web component, you should always think about the kinds of users who will access the component. For example, an Account enterprise bean might be accessed by customers, bank tellers, and branch managers. Each of these user categories is called a security role, an abstract logical grouping of users that is defined by the person who assembles the application. When an application is deployed, the deployer will map the roles to security identities in the operational environment.
But wondering when I log into my application with some user name and password (specified in my Oracle database),wondering how this works with the security role I created .How does J2EE know the security role of the logged in user.
Thanks

When I login say as "manju" and password as "money" then how does it know that this user belongs to this security role.Is that the j2ee administrator has to say that user manju has this this security role.Programmitically how does it really work.I am confusedThe j2ee implementation assigns the roles using the JAAS module you have configured for your application on your application server. different JAAS modules get roles in different ways. many allow a single static role to be assigned using a config file. if using a database, often there will be configuration to specify additional database fields which specify the role for a given username.
At runtime, a developer can test roles using methods like EJBContext.isCallerInRole().

Dashboard based on Crystal Report's Latest instances for the logged in user

Hi,
I am trying design a dashboard based on LiveOffice-crystal report's latest instance for the logged in user. Also there is row level security in the universe on which the crystal reports is created.
In the live office connection i have selected 'latest instance by current user' in the refresh option and published the dashboard to InfoView.
when i open the dashboard in InfoView , i find the row level restrictions being applied for different users. But the data retrived is always on-demand data and not based on the latest instance of the logged in users.
Can anyone throw some light on this issue.
Thanks

How can I mount a CD Drive in Single User?

Thank you for reading my question.
I need to run single user mode on my iMac because of a disk problem. I would like to be able to mount the cd drive while I am in single user mode. I would also like to be able to mount usb hard drives with confidence, so that I can copy off files from the internal hard drive.
I am in single user mode, which I get to by holding down Command-S on startup. I can look at the disks that are attached to my computer by executing
ls -l /dev/disk*
However this appears to be adding disks. I started with /dev/disk2 and /dev/disk2s1 etc which I understand are partitions on that external drive. Now when I list /dev/disk* I have /dev/disk3 and a couple of partitions on those devs. Is that normal? Have I not unmounted disks properly?
I have been using a directory that already exists as the mount point for my usb drives using
mount -t hfs /dev/disk1 /cores
which worked fine. Alas the disk I mounted on that directory was too small. Now I can't mount a disk on there. Do I need to unmount or fix up that assignment?
If I were to create a directory in /Volumes is that advisable? How do I make the root directory readable is that by using 'mount -uw'?
Thank you. Please if you answer my question, try to be clear on what commands to use and why. Bear in mind that other people will read this, and no one on the web seems able to write suggestions very clearly. Maybe we can be the first! If I have not been clear, please feel free to ask for clarification. i am not a total unix newbie. Rather in the 20 years since I was a sysadmin, my memory has faded.

I think you need to post this in a different forum. I think the Developer Forums would be the right choice.
In any event from the little Unix I know you can't mount a removable device until it's connected which means you need to put a CD/DVD into the optical drive. At that point if you enter 'df' you should see the device if it is mounted automatically (which I believe it does.)
In single-user mode the entire drive is readable and all files accessible. You are the 'root' user. In order to put the system into write mode you must enter 'mount -uw /'. Note the '/' at the end of the comnmand line. That makes the entire system writeable.
You do not need to create a directory in /Volumes. When the CD/DVD is recognized an entry in /Volumes will appear unless the disc is unformatted.
Now take some of the above with a grain of salt. I'm certainly no Unix expert.

How do I mount the hard drive of one Macbook Air onto another Macbook Air?

I did something funny to my Macbook Air (late 2009). However I have a brand new Macbook Air that I just took out of the box today.
I want to check the hard drive of the old MBA and remove some files as I filled up the hard drive by mistake while I was backing it up.
Whenever I start the old Macbook Air, it shows a blue screen. I can see Yahoo Widgets but the dock is off the screen.
How do I mount the HD of the old MBA? I have two USB ethernet dongles. I have an ethernet cord.
Can I simply connect them up via the USB ports? Will that mount the old MBA onto the new MBA?
I am in serious trouble because I don't have a backup. I wrecked the hard drive while I was doing a backup. I am trying to salvage whatever I have on the hard drive of the old MBA.
I think I can salvage a lot. I just can't see the Desktop of the old MBA when I start that computer up.
As my new MBA has 256GB I am going to try and mount the old MBA onto the new MBA and remove some files from there.
Can it be done like this?

Thanks for the reply. I was able to save the data on the Macbook Air whose HD got corrupted by using File Sharing (ethernet connecting two Macbook Airs).
I am also going to make a disk image of the HD using Disk Utility and mount that Disk Image onto an external hard drive. That way I can save the hard drive contents.
