How to allow multiple users login to a MAC PRO without interruption?

I have a mac pro, which runs Yosemite, (2013 module) to be used as a server. However, I have difficult to let multiple users to use the mac simultaneously.
Objective:
    One person uses the mac directly on his desktop, while the others to login remotely though VNC from PC (win 7/Linux).
    The users have their own workspace, and they will not interrupt each other.
What I tried:
    I created two mange accounts on the MAC.
    Account 1 was used to directly login on the mac desktop.
    Account 2 was used to login to the mac from a PC though VNC. (I also tried this from a Centos workstation with the Tiger VNC viewer)
Problem:
When account 2 is login, the location monitor will automatically change to that account as well. Both accounts shared exactly the same screen, mouse & keyboard actions. It is impossible to let multiple users to use the MAC pro simultaneously without interruptions.
If I use "hdiutil attach" to mount a dmg file though SSH with account 2, the folder will automatically show in the local desktop login with account 1.
Question:
I read something about the "Per-user screen sharing". It says, "You can remotely log into a Mac with any user account on that computer and control it, without interrupting someone else who might be using the computer under a different login." Is it possible to do this from a PC or Linux client?
If the problem is simply due to the poor functionality of the build-in VNC service in Yosemite, I appreciate your help to suggest some other decent VNC server for Yosemite. I know the Vine Server (OSXvnc), but I failed to install it on the mac because it is incompatible with the Yosemite.
Does the SSH is supposed to work in this way in OSX? I mean the local account can see the folder mounted by another account though SSH.
If any specific version of Yosemite is required to allow multiple users to access a mac simultaneously? Just as the win 7 professional allow only one user to login in at each time. But with the remote desktop server of windows, multiple users are able to use the same computer at the same time without any problem.
If you familiar with any of the above questions, please help. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
I know the best way to get the solution is to direct call the apple support. However, it is really not easy to call them. Because it always results with long waiting time and then the people pick up the phone will transfer my call to an expert who will make me to describe the problem again.
Since I'm not interested in the technique details of all the problems, it is also grateful if you would provide a direct instruction to let me setup the computer for the purpose.
Thanks you very much for your kindly help.

I cannot help with the screen sharing, although I have just tried it with a RealVNC client on an iPad and it seemed to work OK.
However on the disk showing on all users desk tops have you unchecked the "ignore ownership on this volume" check box? You can check the drives permissions with CMD i command.

  • How to copy a project from MBP to Mac Pro without media

    Explanation:
    Our Director takes all the video interviews, imports this media into a Mac Book Pro (FCP X 10.1.1), creates a Project, makes his audio selects, and edits the video onto the timeline.  Then he copies the Project to a portable hard drive.
    In the meantime, we have imported all the media into our main edit station, a Mac Pro.  Now we plug in the portable drive, open that Library, and copy the Project with the video interview selects to our main Event with all the media on the Mac Pro.
    The problem is ... the media of the interview selects is also copied.  Then we have duplicate media in our Event.  With the previous version of FCP X, we could copy over the timeline without media, then reconnect it.
    Any solutions?  A better way?
    Thank you.

    Hi Cliff,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    For your particular workflow to be successful, the media needs to be stored outside the Library (External Media). It is important that the media that is being shared is identical on all drives or computers.  The resource below will provide additional information and best practices for working with media in the new Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 environment.  See Page 4 regarding Managed vs. External Media.
    Managing Media with Final Cut Pro X Libraries
    www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/Media_Management.pdf
    Managed and External Media
    Media that you import into a specific library is stored inside the library and is referred to as managed media. Media can also be imported or copied to any location on a connected volume and linked to the library as external media. Multiple users can access this external media instantly on shared storage, including a storage area network (SAN) such as Xsan, Apple’s SAN file system.
    Page 16-18 includes suggested workflows for collaborating with other editors.  The Transfer Library option on page 18 may work well for your particular situation:
    To hand off new events to a working library using a transfer library
    Another way to hand off new events to a working library on shared storage is to create an intermediate library, or “transfer” library. For example, an assistant editor can create a transfer library containing new events to be handed off to the primary editor, and then copy the new events from the transfer library to the primary editor’s working library.
    1. On the system you want to transfer from, select the events you want to hand off.
    2. Choose File > Copy Events to Library > New Library.
    3. In the window that appears, type a name for the new library, navigate to a location for the new library, and click Save.
    4. If you want to include optimized or proxy media in the new transfer library, select the appropriate checkboxes in the window that appears, and click OK.
    5. In the Libraries list, select the newly created library and choose File > Close Library.
    6. On the destination system, open the new transfer library by choosing File > Open Library > [library name], and drag the updated events to the working library.
    Note: Motion templates are not managed as assets within the library but are instead stored in ~/Movies/Motion Templates/. If a project is dependent on custom titles or other Motion templates, these must be handed off separately. Placing updated Motion templates in a central location on shared storage as a last step in any handoff process guarantees that all editors working on a project can access the templates at any time.
    I hope this information helps ….

  • How can I allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar?

    Is it possible to allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar? I also want to provide different permissions to those users. Is this possible through .MAC? Is it possible on Mac OSX Server?

    I would like 2 agenda synced through .Mac but it does not work.
    I have 2 computers and 2 laptops. A very simple agenda with 3 calenders. Myself my partner and the office calender. I want to publish my calender and that of my partner. The office calender I would like to sync so that we can change the office calender at any location.
    I set up sync only for iCall and have a .Mac account. When I change anything on any of the calenders in iCall nothing happens on any of my other locations. Even though the locations are registered as synced. I can see the sync wheel turning but at the end of it the calenders are not synced.
    At this moment I fully understand the publish and unpublished calenders but have no clue what so ever what syncing does for iCall. There seems to be no functionality to it. It does not transport any calender info over .Mac. There is no visable check to see what is happening and the process of syncing is not transperent. Lots of my friends go to me for advise on Apple issues but as far as sync wether iCall or Addressbook I always tell them sync does not work and I have no clue why others have it working. I haven't met any people here in Holland either that got in working. I suppose with iCall you have to get third party software to share calenders editable calenders. Really hopeless situation, wish Apple would just have a manual stating what sync can do and what it can not. Hours wasted on this issue trying to get it to work.
    Hope anyone here can help out.

  • Allowing multiple users on one Skype ID

    I was wondering if allowing multiple users online one Skype ID is possible, I currently run a small business, where the majority of the customers use skype just for text chatting, not the call features.
    I was looking to hire employees, but use the same skype thats associated with my current reputation. It also helps when I get return customers, since it'll be available to all workers.
    The last 2 times I tried setting this up, my skype got locked, and I wouldn't be able to afford for it to get locked.
    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about the feasibility of this.

    Being doing this idea for years and really was hoping for more development.
    Bottomline when a call comes in and either I answer the call or let my staff answer the call. Then later i can see what happened.
    Unfortunity each new call is not populating outlook with an automactic new record so notes could be made.
    Currently we name the client with notes on back end eg: John Smith ..wants to buy main street call back asap.
    This is crazy way to make notes on incoming calls but there no was to conert to a task or an appointment.... One day .....i can only dream.

  • How to add multiple users to a role in ECC 6.0

    How to add multiple users (say 1000) to a role in ECC 6.0?

    Hi
    You can actually add multiple users to a role using transaction SU01. From SU01, use the menu Environment->Mass Changes.
    Here you can manually add the users, select them by address or authorisation data. Once you have your user list, you can then add or remove roles and/or profiles.
    Secondly , You can use SU10 to do mass changes to multiple users including role assignments per logical systems

  • How to allow multiple selection of nodes in a JTree

    How to allow multiple selection of nodes in a JTree ?
    Thanks
    S.Satish

    By default when you create new instance og JTree the selection model is multiple selection. And if you want to change it you use next:
    tee.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.SINGLE_TREE_SELECTION);
    or
    tree.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.CONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION);
    or
    tree.getSelectionModel().setSelectionMode(TreeSelectionModel.DISCONTIGUOUS_TREE_SELECTION);

  • How to check whether user login in SNC mode or Non - SNC Mode

    Hi
    When SNC is enabled system will accept secure network connections. But,It is up to the user to login in SNC mode or NOT.
    Can any one let me know How to check whether user login in a SNC mode / Non-SNC mode?. Is it only through SU01?.
    Is there any other possibility?. where to check if user login through RFC connections?.
    Please correct me if i am wrong.
    Regards
    Srinivas P.

    Hi,
    Where to check if user login through RFC connections?
    Check T-Code SM04 on every instance. In the column Type you can see what kind of login has been used (GUI, RFC, Plugin, System).
    But,It is up to the user to login in SNC mode or NOT.
    Depends. Check these [parameters|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/19/164442c1a1c353e10000000a1550b0/content.htm]:

  • How far is it possible to upgrade a Mac Pro mid-2010 to the maximum extract.

    Hello
    How far is it possible to upgrade a Mac Pro mid-2010 to the maximum performance. I would be interested how far one could come close to the performance of the new Mac Pro 2013, or is it hopeless.
    My computer
    Mac Pro
    mid-2010
    Processor 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory 14 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Software OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    Please excuse my english is not the best because.

    For what apps?
    Okay, you have the slower 2.4GHz processors, most have found that MHz still rule and matter, meaning a 6-core 3.4GHz for some applications (most) was the best and the sweet spot.
    So you could upgrade to a pair of 3.2GHz 4-core (cheapest) rather than splurge on two 6-core 3.34GHz (more expensive and more cores).
    First thing to do, put the system on a 256GB Samsung 840 SSD.
    For photoshop and graphics, invest in some more SSD ($US300 for 500GB) and put those on a PCIe SSD controller ($300 Sonnet Tempo Pro) and put Aperture/Lightroom on one, and use the 2nd SSD for scratch.
    RAM: 24-32GB would probably help all but the more casusalist of user.
    Tips and articles:
    http://www.macperformanceguide.com head to the TOPICS main page and there are dozens of sections each a different area of upgrade and optimization for applications. Storage, memory, how to, use arrays, backup strategy.

  • How Much RAM Do I Need in a Mac Pro to edit together hour-long videos for our church?

    We need a new computer to edit video together for our services at church.  We broadcast these videos each week, so we use our editing computer quite a bit.  We also produce shorter videos for use online and in our services.  Looking at moving to a Mac, and I'm not quite sure how much RAM we should purchase in a Mac Pro to avoid long rendering times.  Obviously, we need to keep costs as low as possible, but we want something that will work, and last for a while.  Thanks!

    The fastest 6-core is the "sweet spot" in the lineup. near twice the compute power of the entry model at only 1.5 times the cost.
    6GB is fine for "regular" stuff you do on a Mac. Video editing without pain often requires more ... up to as much as 24GB if you can afford it. Apple's prices for this are quite high (like a convenience store). Many folks buy aftermarket RAM from Mac-centric vendors who can tell Users what modules will work in their Mac -- "guaranteed or your money back".
    You can run as few as a single RAM module in 2009 and later Macs. So when adding, choose the densest modules you think you might EVER need, to avoid throwing away less-dense modules later.
    You also will need at least one drive (preferably two) in addition to the Boot drive. Paging and program access to the boot drive wrecks drive access for User data.
    You also need a Backup Drive. Big (but can be really slow).
