I've no access to other accounts but other accounts can access mine!

Good Evening,
I have 3 accounts on my Powerbook. Mine (the administrator), my partner's and our boy's.
The thing I don't get is that when I went to 'Users' earlier to access something from my partner's account I only had access to 'Public' and 'Sites' and not 'Desktop', 'Music', 'Movies' etc...
My access to our boy's account seems unlimited.
Thing is, when my partner is logged in, she is able to access ALL of my account - even though I am the administrator. Same with our boy's account - he has full access to all my files!
Any suggestions? It seems ludicrous that others can access the administrator's account but the administrator can't access other people's accounts.
Many thanks,
Billy.

Sounds like the permissions have been changed - for example, access allowed for the admin or an old user's group. Normally, a user (even an administrator) does not have access to another user's files. You don't go into another account to get files, that is what the Shared and Public folders and drop boxes are for:
The /Users/Shared folder is used to share files between all users (it has read/write access by others), and a user's Public folder is for (read only) files that the user wants to share with others. The drop box in a user's Public folder is to pass files to that particular user.
Check the permissions of various user folders - normally they are:
The /Users folder is owned by the system, with read/write access for the admin group and read only for others.
A user's home folder has read/write permissions for the owner, and read only for their group and others (read only is to allow access to their Public and Sites folder).
The Public and Sites folder in a user's home folder has read/write permissions for the owner, and read only for their group and others.
All other folders in a user's home folder have read/write permissions for the owner, and no access for group or others. Note that if folders or files are added to the root level of a user's home folder, the permissions should be changed to no access by group or others, otherwise they can be read by others (folders inherit the same permissions of the user's home folder).

MY IMAC don't see the main server and all the network! I didn't nothing on his system, but since some days it is out of network on my company. And what is curious is that others computers can see mine. Some one can help me??

My IMAC lost the network, it can be seen but cannot see! What I have to do?

You're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

My usual iCloud account has been locked out. I tried the email link - didn't receive an email. So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc..

My usual Apple ID/iCloud account has been locked out. I tried the email link - didn't receive an email. So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc.. How do I get the Apple ID I want to use working again? Help.

Hi JkeeneSoldano,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
From:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

ITunes accounts can be accessed under one User but not a second User.

Hi
I'm having problems setting up iTunes on a new PC I've recently purchased. On my old PC - (Vista), myself (David) and my wife (Chris) had different Windows Users accounts, both with separate iTunes accounts which we could access with no problems.
On my new Pc (Windows 7) I have downloaded iTunes and can access my iTunes account with my ID and password when the PC is logged in as 'David' as the User, as can my wife BUT when the PC the PC is logged in as my wife as the User 'Chris' neither of us can access our iTunes account with our relative ID and passwords. We get the message.. "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.".
I have seen this sentence on Google and on various forums including this one but cannot find a solution which fits my problem which is our iTunes accounts can be accessed when the PC is logged in under one User but not a second User.
Has anyone have ideas to attempt to resolve this issue?
Thank you

HT204053 We both use the same iPad my father and I as of today, because I am using it too from now on, but each time the ID & Password pops up it ask for his, how can I access mine, so it's my account and financials being used. Thanks to any of those gift

We both use the same iPad my father and I as of today, as is letting me use it too from now on (sweet! ), I do not want to make a mistake and accidently use my father's ID & passwords (dohh ), but each time the ID & Password pops up it ask for his (???), how can I access mine, so it's my account and financials being used. Thanks to any of those gifted with this knowlegde... AMAKANGAROO

In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.

I'm trying to share folder between users on a single mac. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac. I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
Is the permissions set to anyone?
When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

I have an 8GB ipod touch and suddenly I'm able to access only the "sent" mailbox of Mail and not the other mailboxes. I turned on and off. I connected it to MacBook but still I can't access the other mailboxes.

We have one computer but 2 apple ID accounts Can we share iTunes m usic libraries with each other or do we all have up be on same account

We have one computer and multiple mobile devices
We want to share ITunes library 2 deprecate ITunes account
Can we do this through ITunes Match or does that just share between mobile devices on same account

The best way to handle it is to create separate user accounts on the computer for each user. Then make sure that you and your husband log into the computer with the appropriate account. Each of you will have a unique iTunes library, contacts, etc.

I am a bit of a computer/Internet/iTunes dummy....
I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
and
2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Hi,
This is the exact format how my tnsnames.ora file looks. sorry, I can ping it in command prompt now. In my connection pool i tried first DSN = ab.bc.xy.zx, did not work. Then I saw oracle's default repository and changed my DSN to your suggested format starting from "DESCRPTION" to rest. Still no luck Do you think, i should put the same TNS in my local machine??
ab.bc.xy.zx =
(DESCRIPTION =
    #(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.20.30.110)(PORT = 1521))
    #(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.20.30.120)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.20.30.130)(PORT = 1521))
    (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SID = cap2)
thanks,
BK.
