*** How do I put a program on my local network for all to use?

I would like to put a program we have downloaded for our accunting on our office network so that either of our 3 employees can access it and add the most recent information. Is there a way to do this through the network folder in the finder? I can see the other 2 computers and can connect to them, but I'm wondering if there is a folder that the person who has the program can put it in, so we can all access it.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if you're asking about an application "program" that does something or a file that you put data in, and if it's an application how many licenses you have to use copies. Opening application across a newtwork can be very slow, depending on the size and complexity so that wouldn't be most preferred. Also sounds like you don't have a common fileserver?
Either way, how about this, assuming you want to keep everybody's personal data safe - On one of the computers, the one most likely to be running when needed, create a new Standard (not Admin) account that's only used to hold this program/data, and put the program/data in either the Public or Documents folder (depending on how much access control you need/want to have) in that new user's account. Then when people want to access the common data, they can log into that account via the Network folder, or park the icon for that account in their Dock for even easier access. Someone would have to remember to log that account on, I think, when ever the machine is started. Or for a little less security, you could just park the common data in the Public folder of the normal user on that computer.
I do essentially this regularly to move or back up data between my MacBook and wife's Powerbook - works just fine, subject to network speed of course.

  • How to make custom icc color profile work as default for all users?

    Hi!
    I've calibrated two monitors for the machine running Mavericks OS X. I've managed to move these custom icc color profiles to ColorSync folder in HDD Library, so that that they are available for all the users. However, I cannot figure out how to make these icc profiles work as default profiles for all users and not only the one I used to calibrate monitors.
    Is there a specific place I have to put custom icc profile to make it system default?
    Thank you!

    If you put the profiles in the root /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, then each user needs to select them in their account. There isn't a way to apply them globally so each account automatically comes up that way.

  • How can I see the PC on my local network

    How can I see the PC on my local network. With Leopard installed I see the others Mac on the network but ot the PC. But the PC see me. What happen and How I can resolve that.

    Have you tried connecting to the PC via the Finder's "Connect to Server…" and used the IP address?
    It would be smb://server.ip.address/sharename
    Do you have the workgroup set up in the network preferences for the service that you are connected to your LAN with.
    There is also a problem on Leopard where the workgroup doesn't stay set, so if that is the case, you need to duplicate the service (ethernet, airport, etc) and use the duplicate. You can then remove the original.

  • How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

    How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

    beatngu13
    I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
    I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
    I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
    Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
    From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

  • How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

    How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
    What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
    Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

    FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

  • How does select stmt with for all entries uses Indexes

    Hello all,
    I goes through a number of documents but still confused how does select for all entries uses indexes if fields are not in sequences. i got pretty much the same results if i take like two cases on Hr tables HRP1000 and HRP1001(with for all entries based upon hrp1000). Here is the sequence of index fields on hrp1001 (MANDT, OTYPE, OBJID, PLVAR, RSIGN, RELAT, ISTAT, PRIOX, BEGDA, ENDDA, VARYF, SEQNR). in second case objid field is in sequence as in defined Index but i dont see significant increase in field even though the number of records are around 30000. My question is does it make a differrence to use field sequence (same as in table indexes) in comparison to redundant field sequence (not same as defined in table indexes), secondly how we can ge tto know if table index is used in Select for entries query i tried Explain in ST05 but its not clear if it uses any index at all in hrp1001 read.
    here is the sample code i use to get test results.

    Thank you for your answer, its very helpful but i am still nor sure how does parameter rsdb/max_blocking_factor affect records size.
    Hi,
    The blocking affects the size of the statement and the memory structures for returning the result.
    So if your itab has 500 rows and your blocking is 5, the very same statement will be executed 100 times.
    Nothing good or bad about this so far.
    Assume, your average result for an inlist 5 statement is 25 records with an average size of 109 bytes.
    You average result size will be 2725 byte plus overhead which will nearly perfectly fit into two 1500 byte ethernet frames.
    Nothing to do in this case.
    Assume your average result for an inlist 5 statement is 7 records with an average size of 67 bytes.
    You average result size will be ~ 470 byte plus overhead which will only fill 1/3 of a 1500 byte ethernet frame.
    In this case, setting the blocking to 12 ... 15 will give you 66% network transfer performance gain,
    and reduces the number of calls to the DB by 50%, giving additional benefit.
    Now this is an extreme example. The longer the average row length is, the lower will be the average loss in the network.
    You have the same effects in memory structures, but on that layer you are fighting single micro seconds instead of
    hundreds of these, so in real life it is rarely measurable.
    Depending on table-statistics, oracle might decide for short inlists to use a concatanation instead of an inlist.
    This is supposed to be more costy, but I never had a case where I could proove a big difference.
    Values from 5 to 15 for blocking seem to be ok for me. If you have special statements in customer coding,
    it #might# be benefitial to do the mentioned calculations and do some network tracing to see if you can squeeze your
    network efficiency by tuning the blocking.
    If you have jumbo frames enabled, it might be worth to be analyzed as well.
    If you are only on a DB-CI system that is loopback connected to the DB, I doubt there might be a big outcome.
    Hope this helps

    From your screen name would it be safe to guess that you will be using it in Egypt? If your carrier uses is a GSM network you can do as Chris suggests.
    From the Apple page http://www.apple.com/eg/buy/   there is a link to Arab Buisness Machine, they sell the iPad 2 and offer local support should any problems arise.

    I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
    In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.

    Please do not worry. You can just download it from Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps.
    You have to activate it with your Adobe ID.
    In case the CC has been activated two time, you will have to use the option to deactivate the CC from previous install .This prompt will appear when you will try to activate the CC. Once you choose this option it will allow you to activate the CC on the new machine.

  • How to update the condition price in the sales order for all the items

    Hi,
    How to update the condition price for all the itmes in the sales order to carry out the new price automatically through a stand alone program, for all the orders in the billing due list table?
    Thanks,
    Balaram

    Hi,
    There is a change in the requirement.
    Scenario:
    I have created a sales order with some 4 condition types, in that 2 condition types are of class A & B and the other two is of class C. Here I need to update the condition price of class A & B only and the remaining condition types should not get update even though there is an updated price is available.
    For the above scenario, I need to write a standalone program. Do we have any function modules to update the price of the single condition in the sales order? Please tell me how we can update the sales order at item condition level.
    Thanks.
