How to transfer user profile on same machine

Hello all,
I have a user here who got a new laptop. We used the migration assistant to move over his profile. Everything seems to look good. The problem is that his profile that was migrated, is a local profile. I need to transfer his files and folders over to his network profile. What is the best way to do that?
On the new Mac, is there a way to copy his settings and files to his domain profile account that he has on there as well? AKA transfer files from user 1 to user 2 on the same mac?

Open the Users folder, drag the old account's home folder to the desktop, and then move the files inside to the desired locations in batches. Keep track of what you move; moving the wrong file will transfer the issue.

Sharing iMove Projects Libraries with different users on the same machine

I was wonder how two different users on the same machine can
share project libraries. Some Context:
My daughter has some finished projects in her project library and
I either want to import those project into my library or share them
so both user accounts can access the projects (similar to how the
event library is accessible)
Note: I've already moving the project library to a shared disk (the one
the event library is on) with no luck

You need to move each project to the external drive from within iMovie. Be sure to use command-drag so you move, not copy.

Can i share music and photos between two users on the same machine?

How can I share my music and photos between two users on the same machine?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

Sharing applications between users on the same machine

I am new to the world of MAc OSX, I bought my mac to run a specific application, No problem there, However that application needs to be accessed via multiple users on the same machine. So far I have created the user logons, But each user gets a new iteration of the same application. How can I make one copy of the application together with all its data base files accesible my other users, Also when the user that owns the application logs off...the application is terminated... I have set up fast switching...as a work around so the application will stay up, but Other users cant see it...Help please

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
However that application needs to be accessed via multiple users on the same machine.
If the app is in the HD/Applications folder, all users can access it and use it. Then it doesn't matter of the other users are logged on or off. It's not a different iteration, there is no duplication.
To share the data: as Kappy says, put it in the Users/Shared folder. Each user can see into another user's Shared Folder.
Here's a question: if each user has to use the same app plus the same data, why have different accounts? The whole point of different accounts is to keep data separate?

How to recover user profile PSADMIN to its original status ?

Folks,
Hello. My user ID to login into Application Designer is "PSADMIN". I just set up PIA. "http://localhost/psp/ps/?cmd=login" can get to PeopleSoft signon page, and I use "PSADMIN" to login. I can open all of web pages after login. "PSADMIN" is access profile and user profile.
But after I create a role "newUser" and assign a permission list to the Role, then link the role "newUser" to user profile "PSADMIN", I cannot open most of the web pages after login into PeopleSoft signon page using "PSADMIN". The system come up the message: " You have no access to the Navigation collection. Please contact your Portal Administrator".
Can any folks tell me how to recover user profile "PSADMIN" to its original status so that open all of web pages after login ?
Thanks.

go into PIA using a root user like VP1 or PS and delete what u added to PSADMIN.
if u have locked ur root user by any chance ... unlocked using back end.
PSOPRDEFN TABLE , unlock root user using update acctlock .
then login using that and make changes to PSADMIN. or else simply from the backend u can delete the added role from PSADMIN profile using same table.

Sharing one Aperture Library between multiple users on the same machine

Is there a way of setting up Aperture so that two different users on the same machine have full rights to do everything?

Ian,
Thanks for the suggestion. It certanly better than nothing, but in my case there is no partition with permissions off and there are other users to whom I wouldn't want to give full rights to the library. As an alternative I thought of simply creating a special user and do all editing from it.
At any rate, it would have been useful if Aperture had something like that built in - like a preferences option, where one could specify a MacOS group name, and Aperture would do all its file/folder create operations within a given library with setgid()/setegid() of that group and corresponding umask() to give rw permissions to that group. Not too hard to do, either.

Can you share to other users on the same machine?

If I have 2 users on the same machine, and I log in with one user, open iTunes, then swich user and bring up iTunes. Will the second user see the shared shongs from the first user?
Thanks,
Alfredo

Here is what I did:
1. Create new user account.
2. Open iTunes
3. Set preferences to NOT copy files over on an import.
4. Set the location for my music library to the "Public" folder (created an iTunes folder in there and pointed to it).
5. Selected "Add to Library" and selected the top level folder where my songs are (an mp3 folder on my firewire drive)
6. Since my son had some songs of his own that he exported from Garageband, I went back the the preferences and checked the "copy files on import", then selected "Add to Library" on those files. NOTE: if you do this, you may want to exclude that directory in step 5 above.
The reason I used Public/iTunes as the output folder, was so other account could import those files to their iTunes in the future.

How to stop user profiles clean-up job from deleting Active users.

Hi,
Somehow bunch of active users profile are marked for deletions and their managers have received email saying it will be deleted in X days.
I know if we disable My Site Clean Up Job, it will not delete any profiles. But I want that job to continue running and stop active user profiles from getting deleted.
How do I proceed here...
Thanks,
Abhilash

Hi Abhilash,
I understand SharePoint 2010 MySite clean up timer job is deleting active user profiles.
Firstly, I need to confirm with you that the timer job will work on below two situations:
1.When you use the web UI in Central Administration to delete a user profile
2.When a user who was included in a previous user profile import is no longer included in the import.
The second point bears a little more explanation, please refer to How Is A User Profile Deleted?
in the article below:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2012/06/25/top-recommendations-for-managing-the-my-site-cleanup-timer-job.aspx
Let me know if you situation is not included in the above two.

How do I share files between users on the same machine?

I tried using /Users/shared to share files between myself (Admin user) and another user on the machine (Standard user). Whenever I put a file or a folder into said directory permissions are 755 for directories and 644 for files, my umask is 0022. The files and directories belong to my user and the group staff. This means I can read and write and others can read. If I do the same using the other users account. Permissions are 700 and 600 respectively. (Owner is the other user and group is staff.) Strangely the other users umask is 0022, too.
The result is, that all directories and files I create with my account (Admin user) are readable to every other user on the machine, whereas all directories and files the other user (Standard user) creates are not readable for anyone else. I can easily rectify this using the Terminal and chmod and/or chown, but it is a pain having to do this, since I also need to forcefully restart the Finder App for it to notice the changed permissions.
Ideally I'd like all directories in /Users/Shared to have permissions 777 and all files 666 no matter which user created, copied or moved them to said location. I think this could possibly be done using applescript and shellscripting and the folder action hook. So far my attempts to find such a script on the net or/and write it myself have failed. I'd be grateful for any hints how I:
a) write and setup such a script
b) accomplish what I try to do (share files and folders on the same machine) in another possibly more Mac way
Kind regards
David

The following AppleScript will recursively descend the directory tree and change the items to your modes:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
repeat with some_item in these_items
ProcessStuff from some_item
end repeat
end adding folder items to
to ProcessStuff from SomeItem
processes items contained in SomeItem, recursively descending the directory tree
parameters - SomeItem [mixed]: an item containing the items to process
returns nothing
set SomeItem to SomeItem as text
set FileInfo to (info for SomeItem as alias)
if (folder of FileInfo) and not (package folder of FileInfo) then -- a folder (not a package)
do shell script "chmod 666 " & quoted form of POSIX path of SomeItem
-- do shell script "chown root:staff " & quoted form of POSIX path of SomeItem user name "me" password "mypassword" with administrator privileges
try -- to get items in the folder
tell application "Finder" to set SubFolder to (items of folder SomeItem)
on error
return {}
end try
repeat with SubItem in SubFolder -- process the sub items
ProcessStuff from SubItem
end repeat
else -- a file
do shell script "chmod 777 " & quoted form of POSIX path of SomeItem
-- do shell script "chown root:staff " & quoted form of POSIX path of SomeItem user name "me" password "mypassword" with administrator privileges
end if
return
end ProcessStuff
</pre>
You shouldn't need to change the ownership, so I commented out the chown shell script since this would need to be run as a super user. You can run a shell script with administrator privileges, but in order to be used by a standard user you will need to provide the appropriate user name and password in the script, which might not be a good idea - note that the folder action script will need to be attached in all accounts that you want to change the permissions, which means that it would need to be accessible to those accounts.

How can I share my ical with other users on the same machine?

Having recently bought an imac I set up accounts for the family. I'd like to share a generic calendar with everyone that only the adults can read/write, but want to allow everyone to hold their personal calendars at the same time. All the accounts are on the same machine. Can this be done? If so how?

You can only do this by syncing your calendar to an external server - MobileMe is designed for this but if you don't already have a MobileMe account you can't start one now.
If you do have a MobileMe account the method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html#publicshare
If you don't, you could sync to Google Calendar (Google accounts are free) or wait for iCloud which should be out in a couple of months and will probably provide this sort of facility.
You might like to consider BusyCal which is like iCal Pro - similar to iCal but with extra facilities. It can sync calendars on a Lan and also between accounts on the same machine (you have to have fast user switching enabled).
There is a free trial available on their website: it's slightly cheaper from the Mac App Store. (I have no connection with this company).

Oracle 11gR2 RAC: how to solve "user profile creation mask failed" ?

Folks,
Hello.
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer.
I am using Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) to test the 2 nodes for Grid installation as follows:
[ora11g@rac1 grid] $ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n all -r 11gR2 -orainv ora11g -fixup -fixupdir /mydir -verbose
All items for rac2 are passed. There is only one item for rac1 is not passed as follows:
Check default user profile creation mask:
Node Name: rac1
Available: 0002
Required: 0022
Comment: failed
There are 3 ways to solve this issue:
1) In the file /etc/bashrc, change the line "umask 0002" to "umask 0022".
2) In the file /etc/profile, add line "umask 0022" at the end of the file.
3) In the file /etc/csh.cshrc, change the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022".
In rac2, I got the same issue in the past. I just change the line "umask 0002" to "umask 0022" in the file /etc/bashrc and the issue is solved.
But in rac1, I have tried each of the 3 options and also combined 1) and 2), 1) and 3), 2) and 3), 1) and 2) and 3). Totally, that's 7 options. But all of 7 options cannot solve the issue.
The script runcluvfy.sh still tests rac1 user profile creation mask failed. My question is:
Do any folk understand how to solve VM rac1 user profile creation mask problem ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. I follow the document "Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux E22489-04" and do the following:
[root@rac1 /]#echo $SHELL
Output: /bin/bash
This means we need to edit Bash shell file .bash_profile.
[ora11g@rac1 ~]$vi /home/ora11g/.bash_profile
Add this line: umask 022
Then I save the file .bash_profile and reboot OS.
Then I run the following command:
[ora11g@rac1 grid] $ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n all -r 11gR2 -orainv ora11g -fixup -fixupdir /mydir -verbose
But the reusult is the same. The issue is not solved as follows:
Check default user profile creation mask:
Node Name: rac1
Available: 0002
Required: 0022
Comment: failed
Do any folk understand how to solve VM rac1 user profile creation mask problem ?
