Is there a way to keep selected apps that you have on your admin account inaccessible and unseen from another admin account on the same Mac?

My sister and I share computers, but it's really her Mac because she got it for her birthday. I'm using it because there is no other place to hold my iTunes library, documents, photos, etc.
She complains that I make the computer too slow after I downloaded/installed too many apps from the Mac App Store using my admin account and my iTunes account. However, they show up on her account as well, and she doesn't want to see them or have her computer slow down, so she deletes them. Is there a way to make certain apps unseen and inaccessible from other admin users on the same machine?

Only by storing them on an encrypted disk image. Anyone who has an administrator password to a Mac can use it to access all unencrypted data on the system.

Is there a way to keep my app tabs set up if I clear my browsing history between sessions? (v. 4.0 on Mac OS 10.6.6)

Just downloaded version 4.0 yesterday, running on Mac OS 10.6.6. When I set up a few app tabs, they worked fine during the session but were gone when I restarted Firefox.
I usually have my preferences set to clear my browsing history, download history, forms, cache, active logins, and most cookies when I close Firefox. I changed them to clear everything else as usual but to remember my browsing history, and this seems to solve the problem - my app tabs reappeared when I restarted FF. Is there a setting I'm missing that would let me clear my history but maintain the app tabs across sessions?

Based on everything you have told us, Without a doubt, you need a lot more RAM installed in your iMac.
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard can, at times, use up the full 4 GBs of RAM, for. itself, alone.
Your model iMac can take, a total of 16 GBs of RAM.
My advice is to install the max. 16 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
RAM is user installable and very easy to do for beginning or novice computer users or novice computer upgraders.

Is there a way to prove to someone that you have deleted photos?

I have a request from one of my models to delete from my iMac some photos I took of her, and I will comply.
However-how can I prove that I've done that? Is there a log in Console that would record it?
There is so much info there that I don't know which category to select.
Is there another way to obtain a 'digital reciept'?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply.
Sending movies seems like a bloated way to do this, but I made 2 QT movies, one dragging the folder to the trash, the other emptying the trash. She seemed satisfied with that.
I was hoping for some way to capture a series of commands as text.
Thanks for your help!

Thanx P.

Only if you have an iPhone backup from the time before you deleted the app. App data and settings are part of the backup, but iTunes replaces the existing backup with a new one when you sync. Only backups used to restore the phone will not be replaced and marked with a time stamp.
If you included the iphone backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could restore the folder and use the iphone backup to restore your phone. But all data will be set back to theat point in time when the backup was taken.

Is there a way to view/delete apps that won't fit on the 11 screens?

I have more apps than fit on the 11 available screens - is there a way to view/delete apps that aren't on the 11 screens? I know I can launch them from the search facility, but that doesn't give me a comprehensive list or the ability to remove?

You can only remove them in iTunes on the computer.

Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon?

Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon? I have so many apps that they don't all show up on the existing screens. I know it can be done by connecting to a computer and using iTunes, but I'm on the road away from my Mac.

I tried that and instead of showing me the inaccessible screens, it just shortens the number of available screens. Then if I reset the home screen in preferences it removes the folders I created and I'm back to square one.

Not unless the developer/Apple offer it again in the App store. You can only get apps from the App store.

A better way is to select the photos in iPhoto and export to a desk top folder, right click on it and burn to disk

Is there a way to be able to Edit pictures between different accounts on the same Mac?

Is there a way to be able to Edit pictures between different accounts on the same Mac?

What does 'edit pictures between different accounts' mean?
You can edit photos in each account. You can share the Library so the same library is available in all accounts. But I'm not sure what you're asking for.

Is there a way to photostream pictures from two separate iCloud accounts to the same mac, for display in iPhoto?

Is there a way to photostream pictures from two separate iCloud accounts (two iphones that I own) to the same mac, for simultaneous display in iPhoto?

On a Mac, PhoneView is one option (I've been happily using for a year or two). TouchCopy is another (have not heard anything negative about it).
You'll only get back the low-res versions that were downsized when synced to the phone, but better than nothing.

Is there a way to change the date format so that delegates have to choose a day, month and year from a drop down menu as my delegates keep forgetting to change the year of their information

When my delegates are filling in a event form i have put together, a large number of them forget to change either the month or year on the date field. Is there a way to have a date field that has drop down boxes for day, month and year so they have to choose rather than a date been already on the screen??
Thanks

Hi Christopher,
The WEEKDAY function allows specifying either Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week:
WEEKDAY
The WEEKDAY function returns a number that is the day of the week for a given date. WEEKDAY(date, first-day)
Â date: The date the function should use. date is a date/time value. The time portion is ignored by this function.
Â first-day: An optional value that specifies how days are numbered.
Sunday is 1 (1 or omitted): Sunday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Saturday is day 7.
Monday is 1 (2): Monday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Sunday is day 7. Monday is 0 (3): Monday is the first day (day 0) of the week and Sunday is day 6.
But I think you are referring to the first day of the 'workweek', for which I do not see a means of defining a custom value.
Since you want to 'insert categories', though, you could easily define your own, using WEEKDAY(date) or WEEKDAY(date,1), plus an IF statement to return the category label appropriate to the day. Here's one for a Sunday to Thursday work week. Dates are in column A, the formula is in whichever column you want as the Category column. For the example, I've placed it in column B.
B2, and filled down: =IF(WEEKDAY(A)<6,"Work","Off")
The top table shows the weekday numbers returned for each day of the week for each of the three permitted values for the optional second argument. The bottom table shows the results from the formula above, used to define a category label for each date:
A10 was left blank intentionally, to determine if the lack of data resulted in an error. The Warning message, flagged by the blue 'warning' triangle, is "The formula uses a number in place of a date." The 'date' assigned to this numerical value of zero was a Friday, but I'm not certain when. Probably best to avoid extra rows with no date shown.
Regards,
Barry

HT201272 I changed my apple ID and password because my credit card was hacked. Now the apps that I purchased with the old ID cannot be updated, nor can I sync them to my new iPhone. Is there a way I can retrieve apps that I purchased?

I have a different apple ID and password and now I am unable to sync my apps to my new iPhone. How can I retrieve some of the apps that I purchased using the old ID?

Go to Settings>Store (or iTunes and Appl Store) and sign out and sign back in. If problem go to Settings>iCloud and make sure you are signed into the new iCloud account. You may have to create a new iCloud account.
