I want to set that MAKEOPTS in my bashrc file for my user.
Ive tryed
in .bashrc

How can I set up my Mac for two users to share photos, music etc

How can I set up my Mac for two users to share photos, music etc?

On the Mac with the libraries you want to share:
iTunes Preferences click on the Sharing tab and put a tick in 'Share by library on local network'.
iPhoto Preferences click on Sharing and put a tick against 'Share my photos'.
When launching the same apps on other Macs on the network the libraries should be available, listed on the left.

How do I set a Finder background for all users?

I want to set a background in Finder for a folder hosted on a server, and I want all users who connect to that folder to see the background (and, necessarily, force them into Icon view for that folder). Is there a way to do this? Server is running 10.5.8, clients are running a mix from 10.6.7 to 10.7.1.

But I dont know how to set a default website name that appears at the top of EVERY page. Can you help?
You cannot set a default name for your webpage.
Each page is unique.
But you can make a default page and duplicate it.

How can I set default toolbar layout for all users in my system?

Hi everybody! I am running a local ubuntu server at my office. I can set some defaults preferences (about:config) for all new users in the system by defining those prefs in the /etc/firefox/syspref.js.
Now, I want to define default toolbar layout in a similar way (maybe not needed but fun), to copy the toolbar layout for my user. Is there a general way to do that?
thank you in advance!

You can try to create a default template folder (defaults/profile) in the Firefox and place the file(s) in that folder for newly created profile.
The only way to customize an existing profile is to copy files directly to it.

How do i set-up ipad nano for other user?

Hi, I want to buy my boyfriend an ipod nano for his birthday and set it up for him with all my music. I have a mac and he has a pc. How do i ensure that when i plug the nano for the first time it doesn't wipe all my songs? also can i set it up for him on my computer and register him? can he then use the nano on his computer without losing the music that i put on the ipod for him?
any help with this will be much appreicated!
thanks

You cannot legally give him your music. He needs to have copies himself that he's legally purchased. So while your thought is nice, you really should just give him the iPod new in the box. If you want to give him music, gift it to him through the iTunes Store. He can then download it for himself and sync it to the iPod.

How can I set OIM password policy for OID Users.

Hi,
For me the target resourec is OID. When I create users in OIM, they get provisioned to OID. Their password also gets stored in OID.
Now, I have a password policy in OIM. In that policy, the password exipration day is set to 28 days. After 28 days, the user's password will expire in OIM. Is there any way that password will also expire in OID too, so that user will not be able to login in OID?
Thanks in advance.

You need to do the following.
1. Find the attribute in OID that determines the disable date.
2. Add a field to your provisioning process definition form.
3. Using a pre-populate adapter, use an input of your oim user account expiration date, and convert that to the format OID uses.
4. Update your lookup for provisioning attributes to include this new field to map the field name to the OID attribute.
5. Create an "Updated" task for this field so that when it gets changed, the new value is pushed to OID.
6. Create a user form trigger value for the field that maps to the oim user account expiration field. For this trigger, add a task to your oid provisioning process that does the same tasks as your pre-populate adapter to determine the new date value and pass it to the field on the process form.
Now when the OIM expiration date changes, this value will be passed to OID, and also when the account is first created.
Does this work for you?

How do you set default programs for all users when deploying Windows 8.1?

I have my Windows 8.1 image set up the way I want including the start screen, theme, etc. But how can I set the default programs for all users. Most of out computers are non-touch and I want the desktop apps (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), not the store apps
to be the default for opening pictures, videos, etc. Can that be done?

Great question, this has been bugging me too!
So, I did some research by using "Set Default Programs" app in Windows 8. Then I ran the super ProcMon.exe tool from Sysinternals.com <Thanks Mark!>
After filtering out the junk, I could see some *interesting* writes to the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserChoice]
"Hash"="57y87/ogggU="
"ProgId"="PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg"
But the "Hash" part had me concerned. I did some internet searching for the hash, and came across a post and a pointer to a blog with some answers. This is both good news and bad.
Background:
One of the problems with Windows XP is that any program can come in and party on the entire system. No, I don't want you to put a shortcut on the desktop, install a crappy IE Toolbar, and change the default file association for *.jpg files to your app, I
just wanted to play a stupid game. Since Windows 7, Microsoft has been attempting to block that functionality from the stupid applications, and give them back to the user. Take note of the last line in the ITaskbarList3 interface:
Applications cannot programmatically pin themselves to the taskbar. That functionality is reserved strictly for the user.
Of course that sucks for us IT Pros who may wish to create *default* working environments for corporate images, but there are some tricks we can do.
Solution:
This blog appears to have the answer:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx
New for Windows 8 is a dism command: /Get-DefaultAppAssociations that allows you to export a control case from a known good computer. Microsoft the supports importing the exported xml file via GPO. For example, before I changed the file association, .AVI
was pointing to the Modern App, after the change the /export-DefaultAppAssociations shows change to the new app:
From:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt" ApplicationName="Video" />
To:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="VLC.avi" ApplicationName="VLC media player" />
I am still doing some investigation to see if a GPO is required, or if you can inject the association into a local user account. Also, if you do have some Modern Windows 8 Touch Tablets, it would recomend keeping most of the Modern App defaults in place,
perhaps seperate GPO's for Desktops/Laptops vs Tablets?

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

How can I set up auto respond for email

How can I set up auto respond for email?

Hey there jimmac169,
It sounds like you want to have the Mail app automatically reply to emails that come in. You can do this in the app itself, but in order for the function to work, Mail needs to be open. Take a look at this info from the following article:
Mail (Yosemite): Reply to, forward, or redirect messages
Automatically reply to or forward messages
Mail must be open before it can automatically forward or reply to messages. If you want to send automatic replies when Mail isn’t open—like when you’re on vacation—check with the provider of your email account.
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.
Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied.
Set the conditions that determine which messages to automatically reply to or forward.
Choose options from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
Forward messages: Choose Forward Message from the first pop-up menu, then enter the email addresses where you want to receive the forwarded messages. Click Message, then enter any text you want to include with the forwarded message. For example, you could explain that you’re automatically forwarding messages.
Reply to messages: Choose “Reply to Message” from the first pop-up menu, click “Reply message text,” then enter your reply. Mail includes the full text of the original message in your reply.
Click OK.
Carefully consider the rules you create. If they’re too broad, messages can be sent inadvertently or create loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How do I set the home page for a new tab?

How do I set the web page for when I open a new tab? Whenever I open a new tab it goes to an error site which freezes my firefox browser for a while. How do I change that? I want to open new tabs with google being the home page. I need to set up the homepage for a new tab NOT a new window. Please help! !

If Google is set as your Homepage in Firefox you can middle-click ''(push down on the mouse wheel)'' to open Google in a new Tab.
Or, you can add the feature to Firefox where clicking the New Tab button on the Tab Bar opens your Homepage in a new Tab. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
And if you have a different Homepage set, this extension allows for any page you set in the extension's options to open when you use the new Tab button. <br />

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

Mail how do i set a read receipt for messages I send

mail how do i set a read receipt for messages I send

Hi Sunny
There's no built-in option, and the workaround is rather complex. I would advise against it, since "read receipts" are not a standard part of the email protocol, and most email clients cannot return receipts or have it turned off anyway.

Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. You have to enter a birthdate that results in an age of at least 13 years.
