How many library folders are you suppose to have?

When I click on the HD it shows a library folder. When I click on my home folder, I also see a library folder. I am not talking about the individual application library folders i.e. iphoto, itunes and the like.

Three
/Library (system wide library used for things all users of the Mac may need to share - Some apps store stuff here on install, Mac OS X stores system wide stuff here, such as your network preferences)
/System/Library (used by Mac OS X - keep your fingers out )
/Users/username/Library (one library per user where per user specific information is stored, such as application preferences, per user caches, your email, etc...)

How many Library folders are there???

I'm thoroughly confused. I copied all my websites from my PC to my MacBook Pro. I can access them by opening Finder and clicking my name (next to the house icon, between Desktop and Applications, then clicking Library > Webserver > sites. But when I navigate to a file and modify it, it still looks exactly the same when I preview it in a browser. It's as if I have two separate websites...and maybe I do.
An error message offers a clue: "Warning: mysql_connect():[etc.] in /Library/WebServer/sites/Geobop/include.php on line 5
The clue is the capital S on "WebServer." When I click on the Library folder under my name, it's spelled "Webserver."
So I'm trying to discover the location of this mysterious WebServer folder and/or the alternate Library folder.
If I go back to Finder and click Network (the first icon on the left), it reveals what appears to be a single page named Library. When I double click it, it says, "The alias 'Library' could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found," followed by option to Delete or Fix Alias.
Another weird thing is that the home page of this website displays whether I type in http://Geobop (as it's supposed to), http://GW/ (a different website) or http://localhost/, so maybe that's the problem. When I type in http://localhost/phpMyAdmin, it defaults to http://Geobop/localhost/
Still, a modified file ought to produce a modified browser display, regardless of the URL it's viewed at, right? The only thing I can think of is that I installed TWO copies of my website and can't locate the second one. Any tips?
Thanks.

This item is the folder /Library/WebServer/ starting from the top level of your hard disk, not from your home folder.

How many Library folders should there be, and where?

How many Library folders should there be, and where?

Each user has his own. This is where items specific to each user are stored - caches, preferences files, login items, etc. In Lion these folders are hidden, but still there.
There is also one at the top level of the hard drive. This is where resources shared between users are stored - fonts, application support files, etc.
There's also one in the System folder, that you may look in, but do not touch.

How in the heck are you supposed to drag songs

How in the heck are you supposed to drag songs from your music library to your device (iPhone or iPod) with the new iTunes? It was simple on the older version, but it isn't at all on this one. I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks. It did help. Plus I don't feel like such an idiot for asking probably a simple question because somebody else asked the same thing.

Is this the same for you?
I do not start dbus manually anywhere on my system except for launching lightdm and thermald through a systemd service.

I will mark this as solved for now. In order to minimise the running dbus sessions, I switched back from ldm to startx and also removed the pulseaudio autostart from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ since I want to control myself when pulseaudio starts the dbus sessions.
This is how it looks now with X running and udisks2/gvfs enabled dbus session.

How many mAh's are you reading?

I don't know if this is a proper way of determining battery capacity - especially w/ the change in potential (V) and conversion from mAh to mWh. But out of curiosity, what's your capacity in milliamp hours?

It seems as though a calibration and full discharge of the battery really helps out w/ getting the proper readings and capacity of the battery.
My capacity seems to fluctuate between 5530's to 5580's. But with the varying voltage it reads, I guess that's the reason why it changes.
Any electrical engineers around?

HT1933 How are you supposed to do this when it DOESN'T EVEN WORK!!!! you press report problem and it comes up saying " too many http redirects". Total useless !

How are you supposed to REPORT THE PROBLEM when it DOESN'T EVEN WORK!!
I clicked it as I got a receipt for something that HAS NOT EVEN BEEN BOUGHT ! (It's funny how apple try to charge me twice for something when I work nightshift and my phones switched off!)
and all that happened was it came up saying "too many HTTP redirects" .
And it won't let me report it ! X

Go here:

How are you supposed to play a photo cd on a macbook pro?

how are you supposed to play a photo cd on a macbook pro? when i put it in my drive, it says something like disk type not supported when i open up the dvd player. please tell me if theres some kind of software i have to download..please and thank you

when you insert the disk it should be in the side bar of finder. double clickt he disk and you should have some sort of file in it. I'm not sure what softwware was used to create the slideshow but if it's a movie you'll have to figure out what type of media it is. I think VLC media player will be your best bet to play this CD/dvd though.

How many itunes accounts are allowed per computer?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle configuring all 80 of the iPads my business is purchasing. I know there is a limit of 10 devices per iTunes account. How many iTunes accounts are permitted per computer? I tried to just create 8 apple ids, which I was able to do online. But when I try to sign in to those on iTunes, once I get to the part where I verify with a credit card, I can not get past the 3rd one. I have previously signed in with 2 other accounts on my machine, so I'm wondering if there is a limit of 5 accounts per computer. Can anyone verify? If that's true, what suggestions do you have for how to get around or best manage this situation?
I'm not as much of a techie as I should be.. but thanks in advance for your help!!

Hi allisonwfrom nc,
The limit you are referring to is for a single personal Apple ID (not for multiple users) that is allowed to be associated with a total of 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). Example you can have 5 computers and 5 iOS devices, 3 computers and 7 iOS devices, but not 6 computers and 4 iOS devices.
From http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
Again this is for a single user. For multiple users like in schools or businesses you need to use VPP to purchase multiple licenses. http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
( i )If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
( ii ) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app.
There is a free OS X program called Apple Configurator that you can use to distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
There are a few things I recommend you do to get started:
First I would watch the iOS Deployment Model Videos on the left side of this page:
http://www.apple.com/education/resources/information-technology.html
Then I recommend you read through these two guides:
iOS 6 Education Deployment Guide
http://images.apple.com/education/docs/ios_6_education_deployment_guide.pdf
Apple Configurator Help Guide
http://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/1.0/
This will give you a solid foundation for managing iPads with Apple Configurator. Once you read through these guides you will likely have more specific questions that you can post to these forums.
Hope this answers your question!

How many faces (people) are recommended to "teach" iPhoto '11?

I love this feature, however, I don´t know how many faces (people) are recommended to teach it... I started to tag every single person I knew in my Library, not just my family and close friends, but EVERYONE, even those who I only met once or twice a year... suddenly, I had a really big "Faces" section and I started to concern if this was "healthy" for the programm. So, the question is, Is it OK to teach iPhoto to recognize every single person I know? Or should I just let it "learn" to recognize the closest to me?, Is there an ideal number of people for the Programm to recognize? Thanks in advance for your support!!!!

I don't think anyone outside of Apple can really answer this. But, IMHO, there is no need to include *everyone* in your faces group, just those you want to find later.

How many itunes libraries can you sync to apple tv?

How many itunes libraries can you sync to apple tv?
I read through the manual and it didn't mention anything about multiple libraries.
All I found was about streaming more than one computer.
Isn't this supposed to be a product that's multi-user orientated?

AC is correct, but remember the 5 streams does include the synced library (in case you don't want to move all your content over to your AppleTV box)

A newer version of app "5-0 Radio" exists in your iTunes library. Are you sure you want to replace it with the one you are moving?
