Issue with groups not being able to run applications on remote server

Hi all..
I've got an older PowerMac G5 running 10.5.8 that gets the OpenDirectory accounts from our MacMini server running 10.6.5. I've got a group setup called "Children" that my kids belong to and which is managed care of the Workgroup manager. However, I find that some of my apps can't be run by any of the kids if they're in subdirectories within /Applications. They receive a "The operation could not be completed because you do not have enough access privileges." I've tried playing around with various settings and finally decided to not restrict access to any applications but the problems remain.. Some apps can be run just fine but others are out of reach.. Any ideas on how to fix this or perhaps diagnose it?
Thx!

Hi
Another approach is to create a folder in the local Administrators Home folder. Name it Applications. Place the applications you want to restrict access to into that folder. If you have ARD you could use the mkdir and mv commands to achieve this. In some situations I find this an easier way of managing applications rather than what's available in WorkGroup Manager. For me it only tends to work with Apple's built in applications effectively. Anything else is liable to cause a problem along the lines you mention. Some 3rd-Party applications can have dependencies that may be sited in different locations. The trick is tracking down them.

  • Has anyone had an issues with certain not being able to SMS certain numbers after upgrading to IOS6.1.3

    I upgraded my software on iphone 4s on Tuesday and since then I can no longer send an SMS to my parents (how live in Spain and therefore its a Spanish mobile).  The international dialing code is correct, and I am on a contract therefore no isssues with credit.
    When i try to send the SMS it keep saying delivery failed.  Been trying for 3 days.  And also when my parents call me from there mobile numbers it now coming up as a blocked unknown caller rather than the contact name as it did pre-upgrate.
    Would really appreciate if anyone has an ideas to fix this as hate being cut off from my familly.

    Already done this and they haven't found any problems or made any changes.  All the problems started following the upgrade to 6.1.3

  • Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac?

    Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
    Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
    Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:
    http://www.google.com.au/ig/directory?hl=en&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_news_technology.xml
    Which if you enter the last part of the url reports that
    "<Content type="html">
    This is a builtin module, so the UserPrefs and Content are ignored."
    Any ideas?

  • The clock on my ipad seems to be stuck? Could this have anything to do with my not being able to connect with FaceTime ?

    The clock on my iPad seems to be stuck ? Could this have anything to do with me not being able to connect with FaceTime ?

    In order to backup to iCloud the iPad must be plugged into a power source, connected to WiFi and locked - meaning that it must be asleep - or with the lock screen only visible. This is for automatic backups.
    If the iPad is not responding at all to any user input, try restarting it or resetting it and see if you can take the steps necessary to back up. You can initiate the backup manually as well.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Not being able to hear application audio on quicktime screen recording when using headset

    Can someone tell me how to still hear the computer audio (like the application sound) on while using quicktime screen recording when using headset?
    Someone help me please or tell me another application to do this with.

    hi paula
    your problem could be hardware/software. lets hope its software issue first and i'd like you to do these:
    if you have personal files on volume c, copy/backup them. shut down your computer, press one key recover button to perform clean windows installation. then check if the issue still persists.
    if you don,t want to use okr, you can use windows restore to restore your computer to previous restore points but if it's windows/virus issue, it may not help.

  • Issues with thunderbolt not being detected on initial start up

    I understand that when running windows boot camp for your thunderbolt display you have to either reboot or start up for it to be detected. However, I shut my machine down every night and when I come back in the next day and start up, the thunderbolt is never detected. I reinstalled the windows support software and this seemed to fix it but only for a short period. Any suggestions?

    It should not be necessary for plug/play devices.
    However, I shut my machine down every night and when I come back in the next day and start up, the thunderbolt is never detected.
    Do you boot with the TB monitor connected?

    Do you have Windows Automatic Updates set up, which may be updating your drivers, without you knowing what is going on? Check Windows Update history.

  • Can I bypass not being able to run PowerPC applications on my mac?

    Is it possible to bypass the "You cannot open the open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"? I can't find anything and I need to get past it to instal a game. My macbook pro w/out retina runs the latest version of mavericks by the way.

    Yes: You can install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels and regain access to Rosetta, which will allow many games to run again in Mavericks.  However some games with complex or 3D graphics may not run well or work at all in virtualization.

  • Problems with Safari not being able to access key sites such as BBC news yet Firefox gives immediate access

    Does anyone else have a problem accessing key web sites using Safari? I am frustrated with Safari particularly as I can get Access immediately using Firefox

    I regularly use cleanmymac
    Which is a scam, but we can come back to that later.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test. If there's no change, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Issues with spot not being saved on page

    ''locking as a dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976793''
    I have asked this question in another category and thought a change will hopefully get it answered.
    For example I save and quite on a webpage at a specific spot an article and lets say said article is fairly long, well I'm scrolled half way down when I last closed it when reopened however its has either scrolled up all the way to the top of the page or is scrolled up to close to the top. I have no idea what this is or where the problem would be located. I have already used the troubleshoot reset Firefox problem still persists. Did not have this issued on Firefox 24.

    Actually, they all go into one incredibly long list, so one of the two posts is likely to be locked, either this one or:

  • N800 not being able to run WAV files

    I recently got a N800 and downloaded the latest operating system last week. I also am using Gizmo (VOIP) where I have my voice messages recorded and mailed to my e-mail account.

    Are you sure it supports WAV format?

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
