How does one set up a file sharing password?

Hi,
My wife and I use the same Airport Extreme station to access the Internet and each other’s machine. Every time one of us wants to connect to the other machine via AFP, a dialog box springs up that has radio buttons, giving the choice of ‘Registered User’ or ‘Guest.’
Where, on the serving computer, can one set up a ‘registered user’ with a password? Would doing so allow the registered user a wider access than only the ‘Drop Box?’
Thanks,
Klaus

"Registered user", in effect, means "OS X user on the machine being shared". So, you could, right now, click on "registered user" and log in to your wife's Mac using her login details (and vice versa). If you log in as a user, as opposed to a guest, you get access to that user's entire home folder. If that user is also an administrator, you get access to the whole system drive.
Guests actually have access to the "Public" folders in the system (which includes the Drop Box).

M Parker,
Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

Hey there Matt.dvs1,
Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How does one set databse parameters in Tomcat to run a servlet?

Hi, I am trying to run a applet-servlet code, downloaded from the web. According to the installation instructions, the following is stated:
Database Parameters. You can provide different database parameters to the servlet. These parameters are set during the administration of the servlet.
dbDriver - name of the database driver class name (default = sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver)
dbURL - complete database URL (default = jdbc:odbc:StudentDatabase)
userid - user id (default = <none>)
passwd - password (default = <none>)
I am running TOMCAT on a Windows2000 machine. My question is how to does one set the parameters in TOMCAT. What is the default userid and password for TOMCAT.
Any help/advise is appreciated in advance. Thanks.Regards.

May be parameters must be set in web.xml in your war

How does one set the DPI when resizing images in Bridge?

I am sure I am missing something here (so excuse me if its a simple answer) but I am used to using Photo Mechanic and there you are able to set lots of variables while resizing. I don't understand this Bridge resizing window when using Batch Processing thru Photoshop.
-There are two boxes for sizing. If you put the same dimension in both does it just set the longest dimension to that size?
-What if I want say a 10x10 inch image at 72 DPI for web use as opposed to a 10 x10 inch image at 300 DPI for printing purposes, where does one enter that info?
Thanks,
Joshua

You don't "resize" anything in Bridge, nor does it set PPI, pixels per inch—and most certainly NOT "DPI" (Dots [of ink] Per Inch) which is exclusively a feature of the printer.
Bridge is just a File Browser. It used to be called simply the Photoshop File Browser". It doesn't open, edit, manipulate resize or even save anything.
It merely hands the file(s) over to the appropriate application, whether that be Photoshop, adobe Camera Raw, Illustrator, InDesign or even MS Word.

Again, you mean PPI in both instances there.
You enter that in whatever application you're sending the image from Bridge.
For instance in Photoshop:

That's not possible in Adobe Reader - you will need to use a PDF creation or editing program such as Adobe Acrobat.

How does one set a password a start-up?

Have you tried going to System Preferences > Users and Groups and set a password for each user on the system?
Did you setup this MacBook Pro out of the box without any user accounts or passwords?

How does one reduce a PDF file size down from 14MB to 4MB.

It is a 223 page resource with text and graphics... which need to stay at good resolution.
We need to reduce the file sizes in order to upload the resource to our website media library for down load.
any ideas?

You will need to use either the "Save As Other..." and then choose how you want to save the file.
- Reduced Size PDF...
- Optimized PDF
The "Reduced Size PDF..." option is the simplest but you may not be satisfied with the results.
The "Optimized PDF" option allows a bit more control but you do need to make several choices about what settings you want to use.

How does one set options such that the entry for a successfully downloaded file automatically got removed from the download window?

In earlier versions of Firefox, I could set options such that when a download completed successfully, the download entry was automatically removed from the download windows. I don't seem to be able to get this functionality in ver 13.0.1. In this version, i have to right click on each completed download entry, and choose "remove from List". This is very cumbersome.
I really liked the earlier auto cleanup as it left only pending, current and failed downloads in the Download window - just the stuff I needed to pay attention to. Is there any way to set up ver 13.0.1 to make things work the way they worked so well earlier.
A related issue may be that in the Privacy tab, the option for Browsing and Download history have been combined (were they separate earlier? - don't remember). I want to keep my browsing history but not my download history. I can still clear them individualy in the "Clear Recent History" settings, so why can't I set the control for keeping either individually? Or can I?

The download history is part of the regular browsing history, so you would have to disable the history altogether as you've already noticed.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
**"Remember my browsing and download history"
Firefox manages the downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library.
* Firefox > History > Show All History > Downloads
Future Firefox versions won't use the current download manager (pref: browser.download.useToolkitUI; Bug 726444), but use a toolbar button with a drop down list, similar to the Bookmarks Menu button.

How can I set up SMB file sharing to share my PC external hard drive on my Mac with no password protection?

I am having the worst trouble with two things. I am very aware how to get the server to show up via SMB, but every time I log off the Macbook, the server's disappear. OK, so I went into "System Preferences" and hit "Users and Accounts" and added the server as a log in item. Worked well, except how do I stop that password prompt from coming up? I am using a Guest account with no password but I continue to get the password prompt. There is nowhere to hit remember password or anything. I have the option to remember the password in the keychain but I have no way of preventing the pop up.
Another issue I'm having is I have a Canon Pixma MP620 printer connected to my PC through USB. Three other PC's can connect wirelessly to print through the home network. My Mac does not find the printer, and when I manually add it, it recognizes it but WILL NOT print. It comes up with error messages like Authentican Required and connection issues between printers.
I have no password protection on my PC and have enabled sharing of all devices and folders through the Homegroup on the PC. I just can't figure it out. I am new to Mac and would love to get these two things figured out.
Thanks in advance for reading!

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

HT201334 How does one set up profile manager on a completely closed network with no Internet access available or even possible?

I need to set up Profile Manager on a completely closed network that has no Internet access at all. I can sneaker-net files into the network if I need to.
Profile Manager (and Lion Server in general) seems to need outside access to complete setup and I've been unable to find any meaningful answers.
Does anyone any any ideas?
Thanks to all

How does one set the option to pre-compile JSPs on deployment in WL 10.3?

Outside of manually creating and modifying weblogic.xml, that is.
There used to be a tool Weblogic Builder that gave a graphical interface to modify weblogic.xml. Has this been replaced in 10.3 or just thrown away?
Also, can I set the option at all in an app deployed as a war without exploding the war manually.
Thanks.
Edited by: joeb on Jan 29, 2009 5:26 PM

You might be able to do this with a deployment plan. If doing this requires adding an element, as opposed to simply modifying the value of an element, then it might not help.
It would be conceivable to add this capability as part of a build process, as you can use the "xmltask" Ant task library, to automatically modify the file. You'd also have to add in tasks that automatically exploded and reconstruct the WAR file. At least you wouldn't have to do this manually.
I doubt there's any way to change this in an already deployed app, without redeploying the app.

HT2500 How does one set up an .mac mail account?

One of our MSN Hotmail accounts has been hacked, and a friend (who has an Apple .mac account) has suggested that we should be using .mac mail accounts but I cannot find out how to set one up. Do I have to go down to the Apple store to find out or . . . . I must be able to do this online?
