How do you setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server?

I want to be able to setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server.  What is the best way to do this? I am running Server 10.6 with 10.6 clients.  Open Directory will be used to authenticate and manage preferences.   Also, this one account will be used simultaneosly in a computer lab setting, so files will be stored locally in the client, hence the need to NOT sync to the server.  Any Ideas?

So what does WGM Look like in the Home Tab? afp://servername.domainname/Users? or afp://Users?
The attached screen shots should help you:
You will only have to do this step once. Obviously you want to use the user's shortname here.
Then, you will see this as an option in WGM:

    There is no built-in setting for redirecting a bookmark to a new tab.
    Is it possible that the computer which does that has an add-on such as the Tab Mix Plus extension installed? TMP has a setting for that (Events > Tab Opening).

  • How do you setup multiple users with multiple devices on itunes?

    I'm trying to find the easiest solution to our family music situation.  4 users, 4 devices (ipods, ipad, imac, pc laptops), and 4 different musical song interests.  I'm sure there are millions of households that have the same exact situation.  I want to be able to pull up only my musical library, not my kid's music, and then easily synch it to my ipod.  Everyone in the family wants to do this same thing.  I have spent alot of time trying to search the forums/internet and there does not seem to be one "most popular" solution.  I did setup iCloud for each family member using a different Apple ID than my main Apple ID, and I'm happy that ALL the music shows up on my ipad.  But between iCloud, MobileMe, Home Sharing it all gets very confusing.  Some say to setup multiple computer login accounts, and others say to setup 1 playlist for each family member and synch from that playlist.
    I would think 1 itunes account allows you to easily share a purchased song with 4 users, instead of buying songs twice.
    So here are a few of my questions-
    1-Is it best to have only 1 itunes account and then synch all devices off of 1 main computer? 
    2-Or since we each have iCloud accounts, will they be able to synch their ipods from their own pc laptop?
    3-And when they synch, what is the easiest way to exclude other users music in itunes? (other than unchecking hundreds of artists)
    4-Or setup 4 separate computer login accounts on the imac and then keep 1 itunes account?  If so, how does this work when they open itunes?
    Again, I'm hoping for a straightforward simple solution.  I don't want to move & create libraries, download 3rd party software, etc. etc.  Please reply if you found something that works for your family.  Thanks in advance.

    Also, how did you first get everyone's music library into their own library?  Drag & drop?  Is the "grouping field" you mentioned under "view", then "view options"?  What does this do? 
    Thanks.
    Sorry I missed your post earlier. Normally I follow up on any replies. This one must have fallen off the page on a busy day.
    As my kids have left home I have created for them a complete clone of the familiy library, then deleted the tracks from it they don't want. Over time their libraries will divirge, but if needs be they can still update their devices using the library at home. Handy when eldest's kit was stolen.
    Grouping is just another property, useful because it isn't generally overwritten by other software but is stored in the tags, so preserved when you copy files from one place to another. You can make the column visible and edit for multiple tracks in Get Info. Some software calls the same field "mood" or "sub-genre". iTunes has a specialist purpose for it generally used with classical music, but it doesn't seem to work very well for that and I don't use it that way.

  • How do you setup 2 separate apple accounts in icloud to download pictures into Photo Stream?

    My wife and I have separate iphones running on there own ids.  Cannot find a way to have both iphones feed photos into a common photo stream to the phones and our macbook pro.  This has to be supported and cannot figure it out.  Thoughts?

  • How do you make a "purchased" smart playlist that is sorted by "date purchased" and not "date added"

    I'm getting quite frustrated with how iCloud works.
    My "purchased" playlists that comes with the iphone when you purchase a song does not work half the time and never syncs accross devices. Also is it possible to make a smart playlist that orders the songs by "recently purchased" and not "recently added"? I don't get why iCloud messes everything up. It really has ruind the music app. Nothing is stable or easy to use. If anyone has this issue or has a solution I would be very grateful! Thanks.

    DOn't get me wrong, this is a great way to rebuild things, but the "Purchased" playlist is a speacil playlist and will "Reappear" on the next purchase you make.
    You can build one for now, and then when you buy another song, use the playlist your creating now to go by and add to the "green" purchased playlist

  • How do you setup a single itunes account for a corporation

    We are currently in the process of moving forward with our mobile communication devices.  Currently we have BlackBerry devices attached to a BES.  We have purchased two Iphone 4 devices and are currently using them with much success.  However, we are trying to determine the best way to implement them while maintaining some sort of control over them (i.e. one iTunes account).  Also, we would like to be able to possibly push certain apps to these devices.  Is there a "best practice" for managing this situation?

  • How do you setup a Foscam IP Camera with Airport Utility 6.1?

    I've been going at this for hours but can't seem to figure out how to set this up. I already have an account at no-ip.com as some of the instructional videos have directed me, and it keeps telling me to do some sort of port forwarding stuff. How to I manage this on the latest version (6.1) of Airport Utility? I'm using a Foscam FI8910W Wireless IP Camera. Local connection works fine and everything seems to be in working order, but I can't figure out how to connect from other computers/devices that arent in my wifi network.
    Can someone give me step-by-step instructions on how to set this up?
    I'm using Mountain Lion with the latest Airport Extreme.

    For two days i've been trying to get my new Foscam FI8910W Wireless IP Camera configured to work over the internet.  Getting it set up on my local network was a breeze, but when it came to port forwarding on my Apple Airport Extreme, I was following all the instructions using the Airport Utility to open and forward ports and I set up my account with no-ip.org, but I couldn't for the life of me get my hosted site address to access the camera. 
    Finally it clicked; this month I switched to AT&T U-verse as my ISP.  They provided me with two separate pieces of equipment, a Wireless Access Point (WAP) and a gateway/modem.  I left the WAP disconnected and had the modem connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet connection, this way i didnt have to reconfigure the wireless access for all my devices (they were still using the Airport network's login credentials and faster wireless N network).  I was forwarding the ports on my Airport Extreme, but did i have to set up any configuration with my new U-verse equipment?  sure enough, i looked at the box they gave me and its actually a wireless router and gateway in one, with its own firewall.  This is what was blocking my port forwarding.
    I located the equipment manual online (this is what i have, probably AT&T standard issue: http://hackingbtbusinesshub.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/3801hgv_user_guide_rev-1 -0.pdf) and used it to open a 'pinhole' (aka Port).  This part probably varies depending on your equipment, but I was able to reconfigure the firewall to 'allow a user defined application'.  My 'user defined application' was simply TCP protocol, with a port range from 81 to 81 (my camera is set up at port 81).  I left all the other fields blank, clicked save and voila!  Working streaming video from 4g via my iphone to my Foscam IP camera!  Awesome!!!
    I know the technical details of my explanation here are a little lacking, the reason i felt compelled to share this is that if you're frustrated and you feel you've been following all the instructions to open your Airport Extreme ports and you're still not having any luck, there may be some additional networking equipment provided by your ISP that also needs to be configured to allow outside traffic to access your camera.
    Good luck!

  • HT2534 How do you create an apple ID account with no credit card. HELP!!!

    There is no 'none' button for selecting a method payment when creating an apple ID account. HELP!!!

    Did you follow, exactly, the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when creating the account ? I've just tried those instructions and got the 'none' option on a new account
    You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review that account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not, and if you don't want to enter credit card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them) then you will need to create a new account, using the instructions on the HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • How do you change your user name associated with the app store on the iphone 3G. When attempting to update, it is using an old email address that has since been changed at the apple site. The problem is that my phone does not seem to recognize this.

    I have exausted my ideas, and turn to the forum, prior to paying for something that may be a 2second simple fix. Please help if you can. Let me know if you need more info to understand my dilema.
    Thanks.

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.  You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases.  The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
    Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.  As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

  • When I open up Safari, how do you set it up so that it goes to your set homepage and not your last page visited?

    Whenever I open up Safari, it opens up what I exited out of instead of my homepage.  How do I set it up so that it does not do this?

    A few approaches are possible.
    To prevent the "resume" feature of Safari you can either option-quit it, or hold shift down when starting it.
    To prevent the "resume" feature for all applications you can uncheck the box "Restore windows..." in System Preferences, General.

  • After using media from iCloud on a MacBook , how do you send the media back onto the cloud so the media is stored there and not in my MacBook?

    After downloading media from iCloud and watching/listening to it, how do you send it back to the iCloud for storing it rather than leave it in my MacBook?

    Apps, music, books, tv shows, movies and music videos are already in iCloud.  All you need to do is delete them from your Mac and you can download them again in the future as explained here: Download past purchases.  (This is not available for audiobooks, ringtones or tones.)  However, to download them again they still have to be available in the iTunes, iBooks and App stores, and the copyright owner has to allow it.  To avoid the risk of them not being available in the future, keep them in your iTunes library.

  • How do you transfer from an old ipad with 2 apple id (app free and purchased) to new ipad that is going to these same ids

    Basically, I have used two apple ID on my old ipad, ID 1 being primary, and ID 2 being secondary, but I've made purchases in both IDs (apps only no music)
    How, and when I moved to a new ipad, would I be able to restore both free+purchased apps on both apple IDs?
    Thanks

    I also use two Apple IDs.
    As far as getting your apps from both IDs, it's quite simple.  All that you need do is to sync the new iPad to the same iTunes that you had previously synced to the old iPad.  You'll need to load the backup only if you need the data from the game apps.  In that case, I can't confirm which is backed up (or if both are backed up) because I don't play games with a history that I care about.
