How to automatically log in on a MacBook Pro when there is more than one user

We have 4 users on our MacBook Pro.
How can we switch between users without having to log on each time?
I have found the "Disable Automatic Login" option in Systems Preferences have have unchecked it but I still get asked each time we switch between users - is this setting universal for all users once set, or does it need to reset when in each user profile?
Thank you

You are correct about iPhoto - sorry. It does look like local sharing has been removed in favour of iCloud sharing. It's something I did so rarely that I thought it was still there. You can export & copy items between libraries but it is less useful now (I'm not a fan of iCloud).
User home folders are designed to prevent other users seeing your stuff. It's why each user gets their own password.
You can give another user files via their /Users/username/Public/Dropbox folder (or go via the /Users/Shared).
The 'Shared' folder is within /Users - that can be used for all users. Some apps store media in there when it is needed by all users (Apples Motion did this for a while).
Applications are 'system wide' so any user can use them so long as they have access to that folder - all users have access to /Applications by default.
To be honest the default behaviour is generally setup correct with all of this… just install apps to /Applications & all users can use them.
If you need some privacy - put it in your home folder.
If you need everyone to access - put it in shared.
If you are having to think hard about how to make something work you may be going about it wrong - ask for a sanity check of your workflow via these discussions

My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8.

My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8. I have tried updating to mavericks through the mac app store but after it downloading for a day i got an error message saying there was a problem with the download. The same thing happens if i try to update itunes or the mac app store. After research, i have also tried repairing disk permissions, but every time they do get repaired the 'repair' button still appears, i'm not sure if it's because it was unable to repair the initial problems or if it just keeps detecting new ones.

2 GBs is a minimum in which you can do many things, but not concurrently. Be very careful to not install third-party add-ons, limit the number of applications you choose to enter in Login Items, run as few applications concurrently as you demand.
I would consider adding more RAM to your computer. Your model supports 8 GBs, so I would install that.

Entire Mac slows down every day, especially if more than one user logged in

Mac runs fine at the start of each day (after turning it on), but slows down by evening. iPhoto is typically at a crawl at that point, and I can't have more than one user logged in at a time, or the whole system takes forever to do anything. I've restarted, repaired disk, repaired disk permissions, run Cocktail, checked for viruses (VirusBarrier). It's easy to restore normal speed with these moves, but same problem every day. I have 24 GB left on this hard drive--is that too little?
Should I try erasing hard drive and restoring from Time Machine? Should I reload Mac OS X from discs?
Advice much appreciated. Thanks.

you do the math
this will help:
Your Mac needs adequate hard drive space to operate normally. How full can a drive be before it's too full? There is no hard and fast rule that says “X” amount or “%” of free drive space is needed. A low amount of RAM requires more drive space for Virtual Memory’s swap files.
Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space are discussed in this link
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/lackofram.html
Here’s some general guidelines for minimum hard drive free space:
1. As a general rule, your available space should be 5GB as an absolute minimum as it generally requires that much free space to perform an Archive and Install of Mac OS X and still preserve some free space for VM swap files.
2. Some say that your hard drive should have at least 5% of it's capacity available for use. Still others say 10% to 15%. If you routinely process complex graphics and videos, even more space is required.
Look at these links about freeing up more space.

MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one. If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity.

How do you position tags in a spreadsheet? Can I eSign more than one tab in a spreadsheet?

How do you position tags in a spreadsheet? Can I eSign more than one tab in a spreadsheet?

Using text tags
https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#d=Bi-SZ3cbVCHwiWBBp-7G7g
but spreadsheets are quite difficult to predict as they don't typically have a page size defined. If you can do this in Word it'll be easier.
or convert to pdf before uploading to EchoSign.
You an upload a spreadsheet with multiple tab and place tags on each tab and all will get converted.

How we can lock No more than one user can use the table at a single time

Hi Abapers,
0) which function modules to lock & unlock a table.
1) When you execute the program, we can check if there is any lock on this table. If yes, the user should be able to only view the table contents and not modify.
2) If there is no lock, then lock the table and go into change mode.
3) On exiting from the program, unlock the table using the function module.
4) more than one user can't modify the table just display.
Note: If there is any lock, display message saying table is locked.
Plz help me for this requirement.
Thanks
Nani

Hello Nani
Have a look at the lock object EMMARAE (Lock MARA and MARM/MAKT exclusively) in transaction SE11.
Inspect the F1 help for field Lock mode:
DE ENQMODE
Short Text
 Lock mode
Definition
 Defines how to synchronize table record access by several users.
The following modes exist:
 Exclusive lock
 The locked data can be read or processed by one user only. A request
 for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
 Shared lock
 Several users can read the same data at the same time, but as soon
 as a user edits the data, a second user can no longer access this
 data. Requests for further shared locks are accepted, even if they
 are issued by different users, but exclusive locks are rejected.
 Exclusive but not cumulative lock
 Exclusive locks can be requested by the same transaction more than
 once and handled successively, but an exclusive but not cumulative
 lock can only be requested once by a given transaction. All other
 lock requests are rejected.
If you want to lock a standard table search whether the table is used in lock objects (Where-Used-List). If it is a customer table you have to create your own lock object (including two function modules: one for enqueuing and the other for dequeuing).
The lock modules can be found in menu GoTo -> Lock Modules.
Given these lock modules the logic should be quite clear after starting the program:
1. Request lock -> if successful, continue in Change mode; -> if failed, continue in Display mode
2. Before leaving the report remove lock (note: no problem if no lock has been set in the beginning).

Uwe

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

How can I apply text position attributes (e.g. lower third) to more than one title at a time?

jhb3243
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
In the case of this theoretical lower third to be applied to more than one title at a time
a. Is there text in the lower third besides a graphic of some kind?
b. Are all the titles to which this lower third is to be applied all together on the Timeline or scattered?
If no text in lower third and titles all together, then, with text titles on Video 1 and lower third on Video 2, drag out the lower third to cover the length of the text titles on Video 1.
I do not find "lower third" title files to be in the same category as certain effects where the Copy and "Paste Attributes" or "Paste Effects and Adjustments" lend themselves so well.
Let us see what others have to say about all this. I will continue to experiment with what you seek and how you would prefer to get there. I am not optimistic but I will try.
Thanks.

How create synonym for more than one user

Hi,
In a DB I have more than one schema. For example:
1) User1 has these tables:
Menu
Employes
Zipcode
Billing etc..
2) User2 has only the a personalized table Menu
3) User3 has only the a personalized table Menu
How can enable User2, User3 and other to use the tables Employes, Zipcode, Billing etc. of schema User1 ?
I think with synonyms. Can You help to write a script in order to create this ?
I hope in Your Help.
Thank You and Best Regards.
Gaetano

Hi Gaetano,
If I understand your requirement correctly User2, User3 and other users should be able to access tables owned by User1. If that's the case, synonyms won't help at all.
Read up any English dictionary and you'll understand what a synonym is.
What you need to do (as User1) is: GRANT the appropriate privilege (SELECT, UPDATE...) on the tables to the other users.
Oh, btw: what is a 'personalized table Menu'? I never heard that.
Regards,
Guido

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.

Graphical glitches with more than one user logged in

Some of the symptoms:
- Finder windows that refuse to scroll (unless the cursor is hovered over the dock, then the position will jump)
- Images that show blanks in Quick Look. Sometimes reactivating Quick Look will cause the image to be displayed.
- Interface elements freezing unless the cursor is moved over the dock.
In every case, logging out one user fixes the issues for the other user. This is on a MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt.

It sounds like you have scheduled it to shut down instead of sleep. Ensure you have selected Sleep and not Shut Down.

Cannot get Macbook Pro to internet for more than 5-8 minutes. Why?

Greetings Apple board, this will be my first.
I have recently bought a Macbook Pro and I love everything about it. The only problem I'm having with this laptop is connecting it to the internet for more than 5-8 minutes. I have two PC's in the house which are connected to the internet via wireless Linksys router. I'm not to tech-advanced so if somebody could explain step-by-step as to what to do, that'd be great and very much appreciated.
A note: My Macbook works at other people's houses.

Model #, have you updated the firmware? Are you using a security protocol? If so which? The other thing I would try is:
System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS. Put the following in the DNS Servers box:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
hit OK. Then hit Apply
The more pertinent info you provide as to your set up and what you have tried, the easy it is to help trouble shoot without going up and back.

How do I log in to my macbook pro if when logging in, it stops at the apple logo and won't move?

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
