How do i setup personal settings in firefox for more than one user? each one seperate from the other.

I am accustomed to "accounts" for each family member which can be customized and organized (for example: favorite places) any way the person desires. Is such a feature available on Firefox?
If so, how do I set it up?

Firefox has a profile manager that allows you to create separate Firefox profiles for different users. Each has its own bookmarks, settings, and add-ons. You can check a box to have Firefox always display the profile manager when starting up, so you can choose which one to use. Sound useful? Check out this article: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles Managing profiles | How to | Firefox Help].
Note: If you have Firefox start up to the profile manager, then when you click a link in another program it may not work unless you opened Firefox first.
An alternate approach is to create individual desktop shortcuts pointed at each profile. This article shows the command line structure: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Opening_a_new_instance_of_your_Mozilla_application_with_another_profile Opening a new instance of your Mozilla application with another profile - MozillaZine Knowledge Base].

How do you create default Read/Write Permissions for more than 1 user?

My wife and I share an iMac, but use separate User accounts for separate mail accounts, etc.
However, we have a business where we both need to have access to the same files and both have Read/Write permissions on when one of us creates a new file/folder.
By default new files and folders grant Read/Write to the creator of the new file/folder, and read-only to the Group "Staff" in our own accounts or "Wheel" in the /Users/Public/ folder, and read-only to Everyone.
We are both administrators on the machine, and I know we can manually override the settings for a particular file/folder by changing the permissions, but I would like to set things up so that the Read/Write persmissions are assigned for both of us in the folder for that holds our business files.
It is only the 2 of us on the machine, we trust each other and need to have complete access to these many files that we share. I have archiveing programs running so I can get back old versions if we need that, so I'm not worried about us overwriting the file with bad info. I'm more concerned with us having duplicates that are not up to date in our respective user accounts.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. I tried to just set the persmissions of the containing folder with us both having read/write persmissions, and applied that to all containing elements.
RESULT -> This did nothing for newly created files or folders, they still had the default permissions of Read/Write for the creating User, Read for the default Group, Read for Everyone
2. I tried using Sandbox ( http://www.mikey-san.net/sandbox/ ) to set the inheritance of the folder using the methods laid out at http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=93742
RESULT -> Still this did nothing for newly created files or folders, they still had the default permissions of Read/Write for the creating User, Read for the default Group, Read for Everyone
3. I have set the umask to 002 ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2202 ) so that new files and folders have a default permission that gives the default group Read/Write permissions. This unfortunately changes the default for the entire computer, not just a give folder.
I then had to add wife's user account to the "Staff" group because for some reason her account was not included in that. I think this is due to the fact that her account was ported into the computer when we upgraded, where as mine was created new. I read something about that somewhere, but don't recall where now. I discovered what groups we were each in by using the Terminal and typing in "groups username" where username was the user I was checking on.
I added my wife to the "Staff" group, and both of us to the "Wheel" group using the procedures I found at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8765421&#8765421
RESULT -> I could create a new file using TextEdit and save it anywhere in my account and it would have the permissions: My Username - Read/Write, "Staff" or "Wheel" (depending on where I saved it) - Read/Write, Everyone - Read Only, as expected from the default umask.
I could then switch over to my wife's account, open the file, edited it, and save it, but then the permissions changed to: Her Username - Read/Write, (unknown) - Read/Write, Everyone - Read Only.
And when I switch back to my account, now I can open the file, but I can't save it with my edits.
I'm at my wits end with this, and I can believe it is impossible to create a common folder that we can both put files in to have Read/Write permissions on like a True Shared Folder. Anyone who has used windows knows what you can do with the Shared folder in that operating system, ie. Anyone with access can do anything with those files.
So if anyone can provide me some insight on how to accomplish what I really want to do here and help me get my system back to remove the things it seems like I have screwed up, I greatly appreciate it.
I tried to give as detailed a description of the problem and what I have done as possible, without being to long winded, but if you need to know anything else to help me, please ask, I certainly won't be offended!
Thanks In Advance!
Steve

Thanks again, V.K., for your assistance and especially for the very prompt responses.
I was unaware that I could create a volume on the HD non-destructively using disk utility. This may then turn out to be the better solution after all, but I will have to free up space on this HD and try that.
Also, I was obviously unaware of the special treatment of file creation by TextEdit. I have been using this to test my various settings, and so the inheritance of ACLs has probably been working properly, I just have been testing it incorrectly. URGH!
I created a file from Word in my wife's account, and it properly inherited the permissions of the company folder: barara - Custom, steve - Custom, barara - Read/Write, admin - Read Only, Everyone - Read Only
I tried doing the chmod commands on $TMPDIR for both of us from each of our accounts, but I still have the same behavior for TextEdit files though.
I changed the group on your shared folder to admin from wheel as you instructed with chgrp. I had already changed the umask to 002, and I just changed it back to 022 because it didn't seem to help. But now I know my testing was faulty. I will leave it this way though because I don't think it will be necessary to have it set to 002.
I do apparently still have a problem though, probably as a result of all the things I have tried to get this work while I was testing incorrectly with TextEdit.
I have just discovered that the "unknown user" only appears when I create the a file from my wife's account. It happens with any file or folder I create in her account, and it exists for very old files and folders that were migrated from the old computer. i.e. new and old files and foders have permissions: barara - Read/Write, unknown user - Read Only, Everyone - Read Only
Apparently the unknown user gets the default permissions of a group, as the umask is currently set to 022 and unknown user now gets Read Only permissions on new items, but when I had umask set to 002, the unknown user got Read/Write permissions on new items.
I realize this is now taking this thread in a different direction, but perhaps you know what might be the cause of this and how to correct or at least know where to point me to get the answer.
Also, do you happen to know how to remove users from groups? I added myself and my wife to the Wheel group because that kept showing up as the default group for folders in /Users/Shared
Thanks for your help on this, I just don't know how else one can learn these little "gotchas" without assistance from people like you!

TS4147 I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users. We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users. We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

You can't; not if the phones are sharing the same iCloud account. If you want to keep your data separate, migrate one of them to a different iCloud account. (You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.)
To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (this won't effect the other phone), choose Keep on My iPhone, sign back in with a different Apple ID to set up a new account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, then choose Merge to upload the data to the new account. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from each account.
Another option if you're only concerned about not sharing contacts but wish to share everything else, is to set up a second iCloud account on one of the phones and sync contacts with the secondary account. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Keep on My iPhone. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign in with a different Apple ID to create the secondary account, and turn Contacts to On. You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's contacts from each account.

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

How can I view history on my computer for more than 1 day

one of my computers shows history for today, yesterday and last 7 days. How do I get this setting on this computer

You can custom edit your history settings in the privacy tab from the options window.
In top left click Firefox > Options, click on the privacy tab. Reference the following article which explains how & where to load/use custom history settings, you'll want to scroll down halfway in the article to the History section & then locate where it tells you how to use 'Custom Settings for Firefox History"

HT1386 How do we keep one phone contacts seperate from the other when syncing with itunes

How do you keep one phones contacts, calendar, etc from another phone when syncing with itunes?

Disable auto-syncing. Here’s how:
1. Before you plug the iPhone or iPod into the computer, go to iTunes.
2. On a Mac, go to the iTunes menu -> Preferences -> Devices.
On a PC, go to Edit -> Settings -> Devices
3. In the pop up window, look for the icon or tab that says Devices. Choose it.
4. Just below the box, you’ll see a checkbox reading "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically."
5. Check it and click OK at the bottom of the window.
Now when you plug the phone in it won't automatically star syncing.

How do I add HD space on one side and take away from the other?

Hi All,
I'm looking for some help and I have faith some people here can assist.
I recently used Apple's Boot Camp to put Windows XP on my MacBook Pro. So, I currently have 1 hard drive that is partitioned into two -- one for the mac, and the other for the PC.
I would like to add more hard drive space on the MAC side of things, and take away from some of the space on the PC side. What is the best way to go about doing this?
I've been told a program like Partition Magic or something might work...but I'm looking to see what people have done in the past and what the most successful route would be. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has done this.
Thanks so much,

Hi,
WinClone can do this http://twocanoes.com/winclone/
And in the WinClone FAQs https://www.twocanoes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=515 - Section "My current Windows partition is the wrong size, and I want to make it larger. How do I do this?" you find a how-to.
Some payable apps like iPartition and/or Drive Genius also claim to be able to resize.

I have two devices on my account : one iPhone5S and one iPhone5 both connected to iCloud. When I deleted 500 contacts on one device they disappeared automatically from the other. How can I get them back

How can I get back deleted contacts from iCloud?

If both phones were syncing contacts with the same account, that's normal. iCloud syncs changes on one devices to all other devices sharing the account.
If you don't have another backup source for your contacts, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

How can I use iweb 1.1.2 for more than one user account on my macbook?

I wonder if someone can guide me or point me to a previous answer on this, since I haven't found one. I'm simply trying to use iweb 1.1.2 on two user accounts (both labled as administrators) on our macbook. The program functions fine on one account, but when I switch over to another user account on the computer iweb will open, but does not let me start a new page, save, etc.
Thanks much for any response.

Welcome to the discussions. If iWeb's menus are greyed out, the following trick has worked for some:
In the user account which does not let you start a new page, save, etc. — Quit iWeb. Start iPhoto. Select a couple of photos, click on the iWeb icon at lower right and choose Photo Page. iWeb will open up and invite you to choose a template for your new Photos page. Choose any template so that the page is created and then delete that newly created page.
...Now perhaps things are no longer greyed out in iWeb.

How do you get a song to play for more than one slide???

I'm new to mac and I am trying to create a birthday video but the audio will not continue for more than 1 slide. I can do it in powerpoint but I want to burn the presentation onto DVD. Thanks for your help!

I just created a slideshow using Keynote and I just moved the song from iTunes into the inspector --> document --> audio. There is a small box that you just put the song into and it automatically plays, either once or looped.

How to keep a CD or DVD open for more than 1 burning

Hi,
In Windows, CD/DVD burner software allowed one the option to keep the disk "open", so that one could burn more than once. I don't find this option in the Mac. Is it impossible?
Thanks,
Juan Dent

it's possible but tricky and not convenient. windows implementation of multi-session burning is WAY better.
From disk utility help:
Recording on a recordable CD more than once
Normally, you can burn items to a recordable CD, such as a CD-R or CD-RW, only one time. However, if you use Disk Utility to burn the disc, you can burn items to a disk in more than one session as long as space is available. This is also called multisession burning.
To burn a disc, you need an optical drive in your computer or connected directly to your computer. You can’t burn a disc using a remote optical drive.
To burn to a recordable CD so you can burn to it again:
In Disk Utility, create a disk image that contains the files you want to burn to the disc.
The files must be from a volume with a Mac OS Extended disk format. To check a volume’s disk format, select the disk in Disk Utility, and look at the information at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
Select the disk image in the Disk Utility list, and then choose Images > Burn.
Select the “Leave disc appendable” checkbox. If you don’t see this option, click the triangle in the top-right corner.
Insert a blank recordable CD in the optical drive and click Burn.
To add more files to the disc later, follow the steps above. You can continue this process until all available space on the disc is used.
There is also 3rd party software which supports multi-session burning on macs like [BurnAgain|http://www.macworld.com/article/133462/2008/05/burnagainfs.html]
