I need to deny the use of usb devices on MACs and Macboks for non admin users. Can this be done?

I am new to MACs and have been tasked with providing new users with Macs and MacBooks. I have been told that the CIO does not want the users to be able to transfer data from the machines to any devices via the usb port, but to allow the support staff the use of the same usb ports.
I thought of just changing permissions and allow only the administrators access, but am not sure if this would work.
Help!! lol... I need to do this "YESTERDAY" as my CIO would put it.
Thanks for your help!

Your CIO is asking the wrong question. What about FireWire ports? What about AirDrop? However, if you need to go through the motions of placating him, search for "Removing USB Support Software" in this document:

  • HT1711 there is a youtube video, and i wish to locate the audio and place it on my ipod,can this be done?

    there is a youtube video, and i wish to locate the audio and place it on my ipod,can this be done?

    Syncing between iPhoto on your iPhone and iPhoto on your Mac is one-way.  You can sync selected albums, events, faces, places albums from your Mac to iPhoto on your iPhone using iTunes. This will not delete any albums you created on your iPhone, just add new albums. But albums you create on your iPhone cannot be synced to your Mac.
    See this page on how to transfer photos from iPhoto on your iPhone to your Mac:

  • HT202233 If I made the mobile account for a network user, can this user unlock the FileVault2-disk?

    My Mac is connected to Microsoft Active Directory. Every time I schould unlock the disk with the local admin, then login as network user.
    If I made the mobile account for a network user, can this user unlock the FileVault2-disk?
    Thanks.

    Yes, but the FileVault password won't be updated automatically if the login password changes.

  • I have 220 photos on my camera. I want to create 6 different folders for a download. Can this be done? I need instructions on how to do this.

    I have 220 photos on my camera to be downloaded to Lightroom. I want to organize them in 6 different folders. Can this be done?  I need instructions to do this.

    You cannot direct a single Copy Import operation from your card into multiple folders, but you can either import multiple times, selecting different photos each time from the Import grid, and specifying a different destination, or you can import everything into one folder, then use drag-and-drop in LR with different selections of photos into various folders you create within LR’s Library module folder panel.  As long as you do the folder creating and photo moving within LR then LR will know where the photos have been moved to.
    What I do is move the photos into multiple folders on the card, itself, outside of LR, using Explorer’s thumbnail previews to guide me, then drag-and-drop those folders to their final destination on my hard drive still outside of LR, then do an Add Import, by dragging and dropping those folders onto LR Library’s central area, so that’s another way.

  • Using mms.cfg file to enable Autoupdate for non-Admin users

    I need help in getting this to work.  So far it does not.
    Adobe Flash for windows 17.0.0.23
    Windows 7 Enterprise  - 5000 systems
    Users are not administrators on systems.
    The Non admin user gets prompted with a screen ( we do not want any prompts)
    Then the install fails because they are not an administrator.
    My mms.cfg file:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    AutoUpdateInterval=1
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    How do I use this or any other method to have Adobe Flash update automaticly for all users including non-admins
    and give no prompts?
    What are the next steps.  Is there an enterprise support site or method to use for mass distributions for Flash?
    Please Get back to me today before 12:00 EDT 13 Apr 2015.

    Hi garyp81126656,
    The current mms.cfg file configuration will perform either a notification update or a background update. There are a few options to update non-admin users:
    Host the background update resources locally.  When using the Adobe servers for background updates there is no way to disable notification updates.  By hosting the background update resources locally users will never be prompted to update.
    Disable updates and deploy Flash Player updates via SCUP, SMS, or Group Policy.
    You can find the various deployment options are listed in Chapter 3 of the Flash Player Administrator's Guide.  The Admin Guide also contains information to license Flash Player for distribution within your organization, which is a requirement for any of the deployment methods described in the Admin Guide.  Additional information is available at An outline of Flash Runtime installation options

  • Non Admin user can cancel the time machine backup an Admin user started?

    Today I had to do a new time machine backup but as it was running the user was switched to a non admin user but that admin user was able to terminate the backup that Time Machine was running since the panel showed up on their screen. Why is that?

    Barney-15E wrote:
    I wouldn't think it was a bug. If I was a user trying to get something done that was processor intensive, I'd like to be able to stop the backup. As the admin, I wouldn't think missing one backup was a big deal.
    The o.p. didn't seem to agree.
    I'm not sure what I'd think in that situation.
    But it could easily be allowed, for those who want it -- just put the TM icon in the other user's menubar before locking the preferences panel.

  • Easiest way to use one bt device with mac and iPhone?

    What's the easiest way to use one bluetooth device with both Mac and iPhone? (Not a the same time.) I have it working with a voip phone on my mac (x-lite), or with the Bria voip app and the ATT line on my iphone.  What I want is step by step how to accomplish the transition with the fewest clicks. I understand that I can't use it with both the Mac and the iPhone at the same time, and that's acceptable.
    But it's tedious, and I would like to switch it back and forth several times a day. 

    You might be thinking of Crossover. Not sure if Windows Media Player works under it, but their website has info on requested and working apps.
    Best of luck.

  • Drag and drop images into anchored frames -- can this be done with the images imported by reference?

    My company bought a product from another company and the only manuals files that came with it were in pdf format. I am currently grabbing text out in Acrobat, then pasting and reformatting it in FrameMaker. Boring and tedious. . . .
    Eventually I get to the point of importing the illustrations. There are *hundreds* of them. As a rule, we import the files by reference, to keep the chapter size smaller and to be able to double click the image to open it for modification.
    However, I can drag an image file from the folder window and drop it into an anchored frame. Oooh, this is fast--way faster than all the mousework that goes into clicking file>import>file>[choosing the file then hitting the import button].
    But, dang it, that copies the image into the FrameMaker file. No double-click opening. Giant fm. file size. Mad boss, shaking an SOP standards sheet in my face.
    So, my question: Is there a way to import an image *by reference* by dragging and dropping them into an anchored frame?
    Thanks, folks.
    Moore. Matt Moore.

    I tried the RTF route and, in addition to getting the body text I wanted, got paragraph after paragraph of the page numbers, the illustration text, the header and footer verbiage, all randomly placed between body text paragraphs.
    I did the same file twice, once by saving as RTF and deleting unwanted stuff, then repairing body paragraphs (each line of which is a seperate paragraph in the RTF file) and also by sweeping only the necessary text, then copying and pasting it page by page. The second method was a bit faster and less frustrating. Not to say that it isn't slow and frustrating in itself, but just a bit less. Less errors, too, with the second method.
    Bummer about importing by reference. I don't suppose there's a way to set up recorded actions with hotkeys, is there? Like in Illustrator?
    Thanks, Art.

  • Need example of the use of AQ Streams with JMS and no JNDI

    This question may be a stretch, but help me if you can.
    I do not have Oracle Internet Directory, but I do have 10g database and queues created.
    I would like to use plain JMS 1.1 wherever is that possible, but I understand that I will need to use Oracle AQjmsFactory to get to the connection and queue objects.
    Does anyone has any examples on how to do this. When I use patches of examples that oracle provides I get NullPointerException.
    Thank you,

    Then we integrated the necessary AS into our own custom

    Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple, see below and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?
    Thank you.
    You’ve taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you.
    The rescue email address that you gave us is [email protected]
    Just click the link below to verify, sign in using your Apple ID and password, then follow the prompts.
    Verify Now >
    The rescue email address is dedicated to your security and allows Apple to get in touch if any account questions come up, such as the need to reset your password or change your security questions. As promised, Apple will never send any announcements or marketing messages to this address.
    When using Apple products and services, you’ll still sign in with your primary email address as your Apple ID.
    It’s about protecting your identity.
    Just so you know, Apple sends out an email whenever someone adds or changes a rescue email address associated with an existing Apple ID. If you received this email in error, don’t worry. It’s likely someone just mistyped their own email address when creating a new Apple ID.
    If you have questions or need help, visit the Apple ID Support site.

    In that case, someone is trying to hi-jack your Apple ID.

  • What is the use of voice recognition in mac

    What is the use of voice recognition on mac and how to use it? Sorry about the question, im new in mac! Thanks!

    If you mean speech recogniton it is a fun way of "telling" your Mac what to do.  I've been using it for years.  I only use my keyboard to type.  Everything else I "tell" it instructions like open, close, quit apps, browsers, scroll, etc.

  • Allowing non-admin users to use certain programs without authenticating

    I would like to allow certain programs to be run by non-admin users without forcing them to authenticate as an admin. Here is my example: I'm running Parallels Desktop with a VM to Windows. I want to allow my children to use this VM to access Windows programs. But, when starting a VM, the Mac OS requires an administrator to authenticate. Needless to say, I don't want my children to be administrators on the machine. I've been assured that this is not an issue related to how Parallels works (from the support team at Parallels). Instead, this is an issue with the Mac. i'm not sure one way or the other, but it seams useful to be able to (in general) allow non-admin users to use certain programs without forcing them to authenicate as administrators.
    There is only one summary in the Mac help on allowing non-admin users to change the time zone settings by directly editing the /etc/authorization file. Does anybody know if this procedure would work for other programs?
    Thanks!

    If you know what the requested right is, that procedure can be applied to any right in an application with a graphic interface by duplicating and modifying entries. The contents of that file don't control usage of sudo in the Terminal.

  • I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

    I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

  • I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad.  I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.
