How do I set up a file share for a workgroup?

THE CHALLENGE
I have two iMacs running OS 10.6.8 and I would like to set up a shared project folder on one of the iMacs for a workgroup of two people. Both users must be able to open and edit any file contained within the shared project folder.
THE PROBLEM
We are unable to collaboratively edit documents. I am able to use the file sharing service in the System Preferences to designate a shared folder on the first iMac and to assign read & write priveledges for our "Design" group of two. However, although both members of the group can read documents in the shared folder and can create new documents in the shared folder, neither member of the group can save edits to documents created by the other member.
How can I create a shared folder that will allow collaborative document editing and avoid these nasty file ownership priviledge issues?
Thanks,
Mark

Is there no one in the community that can respond to this one?
Does the Discussions system have a mechanism in place that ensures an eventual response from a knowledgeable technician, or do some questions simply go unanswered?
I would love to get some definitive guidance.

  • How do I set the default file path for the Place command?

    I keep my graphics files for each document in a particular folder. Every time I open an existing InDesign document and place a new image I have to browse back to that location - even though all of the previous images in that document came from the same folder. InDesign does not remember the file path that was used previously in the document. This is very annoying.
    IS THERE A WAY TO SET THE DEFAULT FILE PATH, OR LOCATION, FOR IMAGE FILES?
    I have looked through the preferences, searched the forums and internet, but I have not found any reference to setting default paths. Is there a setting like the one in MS Word called "File Locations" on the Options toolbox?
    Thank you.

    Since you're working in ID on Windows, you can take advantage of a neat trick in Windows. Copy the file path out of the File Explorer address bar and paste it directly into the Place filename field. That will jump you directly to the desired volume. For example, let's say I want to place a graphic located at X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working Source Files\Links. I copy that entire path from the File Explorer address bar, go to InDesign, select File|Place, and press Control + V to paste that path into the filename field. I press the Open button and Shazam! I'm there instantly, without a bunch of navigation.
    You can do the same thing in the File|Save As and File|Export fields. Let's say you want export a PDF file from InDesign to the volume X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files. First copy the desired file path from the File Explorer window. In InDesign, select File|Export, click anywhere in the filename field, and press the Home key to move the insertion point to the front of the filename. Press Control + V to paste that path in front of the filename, then add the backslash character (\). The filename will now look like this: X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files\Filename.pdf. Press the Save button to bring up the Export Adobe PDF window. Select your desired PDF preset, press the Export button, and the PDF file will magically appear in the desired volume.
    This sounds really complicated, but it's not. In practice, it only takes a few seconds. I probably save an hour's worth of needless navigation every day with this technique.

  • I have set up a file share but cannot login with my account

    Hi everyone. I set up a file share using the settings in OS 10.5, however when I go to login on Windows Vista using my specially created read only account (called: remote). I cannot get it.
    I can only get in using these settings:
    user name = xxx.xxx.x.xxx\myaccount
    password = blah blah blah.
    Yet when I apply the same settings changing 'myaccount' to 'remote', I cannot get in.
    I'm not sure where I am going wrong, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    No need to apologise, I'm the idiot who can't setup a home network. Although I'm sure Vista is at least to blame somehow.
    I have sharing turned on and it says "Windows users can access your computer at smb://192.168.x.xxx."
    If I click "options" it has a box which has an "on" tick box and my name. I have ticked it. When I ticked it, it asked for my admin password which I supplied.
    On the firewall front I have allow all incoming connections.
    I am trying to login to 'remote' whilst my Mac is still logged in as me, 'nathan' I have successfully logged in to the mac on the same settings using account: 'nathan' on Vista whilst still in 'nathan' on the mac.
    I am trying to connect going into network on vista and selecting my mac, correct.
    The connect works with 'nathan' if I go:
    192.168.x.xxx\nathan
    password
    but for some reason the 'remote' user I have set up wont work on vista using the same format.
    Thanks.

  • HT5622 My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share the music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID.  How do I set her up to share the music library that exists in iCloud?

    My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share our music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID.  How do I set her up to share the music library that resides on the iCloud under my Apple ID?

    You would need to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap her ID, sign out, then sign back in with your ID.  However, if she has turned on automatic downloads, download previous purchases or signed into an iTunes Match account using her current ID, she would have to wait 90 days from when she first did this to change to another ID.  She can, of course, sync your music to her device using iTunes without changing her ID association.

    How do I set Firefox to be usable for all users on one computer?

    I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

  • How can i set a global error page for all error cod

    how can i set a global error page for all error code?
    i don't want to leave a long list in the web.xml file.could any one help me?
    thanks

    If u have a common Error JSP named as ErrorPage.jsp
    You need to have the following piece of code in the JSP as :
    <%@ page isErrorPage ="true"%>
    This makes it as the Common Error Page for the Application. Now all you need to do is from other JSP's throw the Exception to teh container. The container will redirect to this Page and process accordingly.

  • How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

    How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
    I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

    Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
    If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

  • File Share for OEL 6.4 VM on Azure

    We try to create a File Share for our application servers running OEL6.4 on Azure.  I ran into problem mounting the File Share directory, and was told File Share doesn't OEL6.4.  Can you confirm if this is true?  If not, can you help me to

    If File Share doesn't work on OEL 6.4, how can we create NFS for Linux VM on Azure?

    Nice to see a proper redundant storage fabric layer for once on OTN. ;-)
    We've been in a similar position using multipath with a custom storage layer (Infiniband based). Like you we hunted for a best-match config - and then stress tested the fabric layer using fio (Flexible I/O Tester). And don't forget to pull some fibre cables, or shutdown/powerdown one of the fibre channel switches, while fio tests are running.

  • How do I set aside 1G free space for a game?

    Trying to install civ4- how do I set aside 1G free space for a game?

    if your son is set as a child under your Family Share settings you should be able to turn on "Ask permission" for purchases. If you do have that on I don't know why it's not prompting him to ask.
    Another way to stop in-app-purchases is to set restriction on his iOS device. (Turn off in-app-purchases under General/Restrictions)

  • How do I set up a seperate account for my wife?

    We finally purchased a nice new iPhone for my wife. But she would like her own iTunes account. How do I set up a seperate account for her? She has her own laptop, with an iTunes account on it that I was using. Should I just un-install that iTunes package and have her download a new version? I'd rather have two versions so I don't lose the music on that old iTunes account. It's not huge, but would be a PITA.

    Go to iTunes > Store > Sign Out (your apple id) and sign your wife apple id in.

  • How do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop?  I want to use both displays at the same time.

    how do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop?  I want to use both displays at the same time.  My iMac is the 24" Late 2006 model.  I recall that there is a cord for plugging in a second monitor, but I want to make sure that i can use both monitors side-by-side at the same time.  thank you.

    If the Display supports DVI, then you will need a > Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter and a DVI cable.
    If the Display only supports VGA, then you wiil need a > Mini DVI to VGA Adapter and a VGA cable.
    Noting that the (digital) DVI is far better than the (analog) VGA connection.

  • How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

    gurus,
    i'm using -
    Oracle 9i Database
    Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
    QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
    i did the following to achieve this -
    1. logged into portal
    2. clicked on builder
    3. clicked on administer tab
    4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
    5. went to the preferences tab
    6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
    7. logged out of portal
    8. open a new browsere session
    9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
    i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
    the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
    Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
    Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
    The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
    buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
    portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
    sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
    so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
    ideas anyone ....?
    thanx a bunch.
    hero

    Hi,
    The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
    Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
    Hope it clarifies the things.
    Regards,
    Ved

  • HT2731 How do I set up an Apple ID for a child with gift card credit

    How do I set up an Apple ID for a chld with a gift card credit, without credit card details and without using my own account?

    Go to the main iTunes Store page (within iTunes),  click on the "Redeem" link on the right side of the page, click "Create Apple ID", and enter in the code from your card when requested. You should be able to create an iTunes Store account for your child without needing a credit card. You'll just need an email address for him/her to create the ID, though it can be a "temporary" one that you don't intend to really be used. You can change the email address to which receipts are sent to an account you really wish to use.
    Regards.
