How do I set-up a Shared Folder to automatically grant read
In OS 10.6.8, how do I set-up a Shared folder to automatically grant read & write access to all new MS Office files? Older files are fine. But, when new files are created and saved by one registered user, those files are "read-only" when opened by a different registered user, even though the permissions that are on the "Shared Folder" are read and write for each of the registered user groups. Can't this be changed somehow? The computer is used by two different work groups and some of the WORD or PPTX files are shared by both both work groups and are in the /users/shared folder when one of the user groups creates a new file and saves it to the Shared folder, it can't be edited unless saved with a different name. I need to be able to fix this. I assume it's an Office problem. If I can fix using terminal commands, please be detailed.
Thank you.

What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have. I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging. How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?
Hey Wendaroski,
I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer?
How do I set my iPhone 3G to sync automatically when connected to my computer? The button to "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked, and iTunes opens automatically, but it no longer syncs automatically as it did before the last update. Now I have to hit the "Sync" button each time; much less convenient as I have to frequently update my calendar.
On my iTunes at the top menu, in the Edit drop down menu, at the bottom is Preferences, click that, then pick icon Devices. Then in the middle there are check boxes, one has Prevent ipods,iPhones, ipads from syncing automatically. Try to leave this box empty. See if this helps.

How to set restriction on shared folder to copy or move images and videos
Hi,
I am using windows server 2008 for file sharing, it's simple folder sharing and there is no additional roles added and not promoted as file server.
Users have permissions to access folder and they can put data on shared folder but I want to restrict user that they can not copy any images and video on it.
Need urgent help to stop copying images and videos on shared folder.If you need to restrict only certain types of files, then file screening is what you need. Windows Server 2012 R2 comes with a powershell module for FSRM, so you can script configuration of file screening.
The code will look like the following (this is only an example):
New-FsrmFileGroup -Name "Images and Videos" –IncludePattern @("*.jpg", "*.mpg", "*.avi", "*.tif", "*.mp4", "*.mov")
$Notification = New-FsrmAction -Type Email -MailTo "[Admin Email];[File Owner]" -Subject “Warning: attempted to create a video or image file” -Body “You attempted to create a video or image file on a share that does not allow storage of this type of files.” -RunLimitInterval 120
New-FsrmFileScreen -Path "C:\Shares\FileShare1" –IncludeGroup "Images and Videos" -Notification $Notification -Active

How Can I Password Protect a Shared Folder
Hello. I have a shared folder on our server (Windows Server 03) that I would like to password protect. Is there a way to do that? If I cannot password protect the whole folder, is there a way to password protect a folder inside of that shared folder?
Thanks for your help.I believe what you want to do is use your active directory users and computers groups to set permissions on this shared folder. Those who are not in a group that has access to this share will get a "access denied" error. The users that do have permissions will either have access to it if they are a part of the domain or will need to enter username/password to gain access.
You can go to the shared folder, right click on it, select properties, use the SHARED and SECURITY tabs to set the local and shared permissions on the folder. If you have more folders inside this one, you can also set permissions on those.
Some things to look up would be:
active directory users and groups
setting windows shared permissions
Take a look at this for starters
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727040.aspx
There may be 3rd party prodcuts that allows you to set a password on that one folder, but this is how you should do it!
Hope it helps -
How do I set up a shared mailbox on Outlook 2010
I am using Outlook 2010 on my desktop and Exchange online for Office 365. I have set up my Outlook 2010 to receive emails via POP3 settings. I have also set up a shared mailbox on Exchange and given everyone permission to the mailbox.
How do I get the shared mailbox to download onto my Outlook 2010 on my desktop?I set up as POP3 because when I set it up as exchange it created a new email address on my list that did not contain my current contact informaiton and calendar. How to I get that onto the exchange email so I can use shared mailboxes?
You need to Add the account as an Exchange account. Auto Account Setup should create the correct account type. To move calendar and contacts (and any mail not on the server), open the calendar and switch to a list view. Select all and drag or use Move to
folder to move the appointments. If you use Move, meeting updates will work. If you use Copy to folder, any meeting updates you send or receive for the copied items won't work.
Open the contacts folder and select all, and Move to folder. If you use Copy to folder, Contact Groups may be broken and not update.
Move or copy any mail that needs to be in the Exchange mailbox. If you have a lot, you can use Export.

I am trying to set up family sharing for my wife and me. I have a Macbook pro (running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) and an iPhone 6. My wife has an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4s. All software is up to date. Currently we have one Apple ID which has both of our email addresses. Do I need to delete one of the email addresses and open up a new apple account with that email address? Will we lose anything if we do that?
Hi jas717,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Because there are only two of you, the solution that I may recommend for sharing content would be to use one Apple ID (the one you already have) for iTunes and App Store purchases between both of you. This will allow the both of you have access to the same purchased content. If you would like to have different Contacts, Calendars, etc., you can create a second Apple ID for use with iCloud. This will allow you both to have separate iCloud information but still have access to all purchased content from iTunes and the App Store.

Use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store purchases
You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases. You might need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.

How do i set up family sharing?
My phone isn't allowing me to set up a family sharing account with my family. The message keeps popping up saying that "only an adult with a valid iTunes & App Store payment method can set up Family Sharing. Ask a parent to set up Family Sharing from iCloud Settings." I am the parent of the family, therefore why is it not allowing me to create the account?

How do I set up Family Sharing for my kids without owning a device myself?
My kids received iPads for Christmas. I neither have an iPad nor an iPhone, but I would like to set up Family Sharing. How can I do this from my account without owning one of said devices? I have installed iCloud for Windows, but I cannot log into it (valid iTunes account, but not set up for iCloud).
I cannot be the only parent in the world whose kids have iPads, but I don't.
