Login credentials server with multiple users on 1 Mac

The situation is a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion connecting to a Mac Mini.
The MacBook Pro has 3 users with administrator rights:
A, B and C.
When user B is logged in and wants to connect to the Mac mini, the login dialog shows the credentials of user A by default.
This happens also after a re-start and first login by user B.
How can I have the system forget the login credentials in the above case so that user B can have the correct default user name in the login window?
Thanks for your help.

While logged in as User B, open Keychain Access. Find the password entry for connecting to the mini and delete it.
Then, try to log in again. User B likely used User A's login info at some point, maybe testing, to connect to the mini, so those credentials were saved in the keychain.

File sharing with multiple users on one Mac

I have two Macs, both of which ca seen each other across the network. My question regards file sharing with multiple users on the same computer. When file sharing, are the files from all users available across the network, or just those of the user presently logged in? The issue is that I am trying to access files from a user who isn't currently logged in, but another user on that computer is. I need to get into that person's documents, but I don't see a way to navigate to their documents folder.

Right, I got that. But the computer is in constant use by User A, while I need access to User B's files. I could need access at anytime, and it would be a pain to make User A log off and log in as User B everytime. I was just wondering if there is anyway to access User B's files in this situation, without logging User B in.

Home with multiple user/screen name Mac. ATV can only access the library of the person using the computer? Seems like a HUGH flaw??

We have a Mac that is set up to allow multiple users with their own log in and settings. (imagine a family of four). So if my wife sits down at the Mac to work. Then I can't access my iTunes library though the apple tv because my screen name and iTunes has to be shut down!! Seems like a huge oversight in the device?! Is there a way around this? Seems like it makes the apple TV nearly useless unless for a multiple person household.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't need to shut down your user account for your wife or anyone else to use their user account.
If it isn't already set, go to system preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options and check 'Show fast user switching'. Then from the top RH corner of the menu bar you can switch between users at will.
Keeping a user account logged in should enable its iTunes library on the Apple TV.
(Note, I've never tried this with non admin accounts)

Ethernet Problem with Multiple users on same Mac

Hi, sorry i advance for my english. I am writing from italy.
I have an imAc with 2 users profiles on it. one profile is administratoe, and the oter a standard user.
I also have a time capsule configured to connect to my network with the ethernet cable. the cable is plugged in the wan pot, the configuration is "bridged" and i use as a router a linksys wifi router.
well. suppsung that i am logging in with one of my users and access to time capsule wirelessly, it shows me the disk content.
i then swith to the other user without logging off the first one and then access time capsule where i see the same folfder and i can access it. so everything works fine.
in the case i connect my mac with ethernet (disabling airort) to my linksys router, ifuser 1mounts time capsule, user 2 can't access it if user 1 does not unmount.
why so?
i need to switch from user 1 to user 2 without logging off, and i don't understand why it works wirless and not with ethernet..
thak you

In fact, all my page beans are in REQUEST scope...
The only bean in Application scope is the standard applicationBean created by Creator itself.
We use one Bean in session scope which contains another class.
I will try to explain our common process:
- when logging into the app, the session Bean stores user data (rights for using app,...);
- when navigating in the app, the user can search data, modify them and create one (if he has the right to do it);
- to define the screen, we use a lot the beforeRenderResponse();
- when viewing a data, the user can choose to modify it, so depending on the action, the page is in "CONSULT" mode or "MODIFY" mode. In the second one, he can display new gridPanel (as a subform) to populate datatable.
The problem is obvious while using this grid: my grid can disappear if someone else has validated his form before me and if my page goes trough the beforeRender of my page.
It is not really clear. If needed, i can give access to our application to show the problem (and msn adress too to talk about it).
Thank you

Installing ODBC Drivers on a Server with multiple users.

We are trying to install ODBC drivers on our web server and want to know what is the minimum we can install and be able to add a DSN through the MS ODBC Administrator. This is a server that is used by multiple companies and we do not want to do something that will affect them.
The oracle installation does not warn you when it overwrites existing files, which is why we cannot simply install everything. For example, on my test machine it trashed the Java installation without asking or telling me. I discovered it this morning when I tried to go to a site that uses Java. That was a low risk on the SQL server, because we did not have Java installed. Other elements, though, cannot be risked in that fashion. We have to find out what files are required in order to solve the problem.

Version 9i on a Windows 2003 Server.

1) I’m not certain about the overwrite vs separate machine. What happened is that it installed its own Java, which was much older than the Java previously installed. Following the oracle installation, internet explorer was no longer able to find Java at all, prompting for a new Java installation. During the installation, no mention was made of the changes that were being made.
2) Each company has its own account on our server, its own instance of the database, etc. nowhere in the oracle release notes or the installer could I find anything that provided for a user-limited installation: it was global. Even though the oracle installation suggested, and I accepted, unique folders for its installation targets, the problems mentioned occurred. The web server it wants to install is not possible to be user-limited: it wanted to take over http for the machine.

Dreamweaver on a server with multiple users

We have just recently migrated from GoLive to DW and that
went well. However it was only on my local machine. I need to set
up our sites in DW to access our local server so that my colleagues
can access the sites as well.
What is the recommended way of doing this? Set up the local
site with the server address? What about remote and testing
servers. I still feel I need to manually move our files out to our
stage site and live site as we have to login to those servers to
access them. Any advice?

> You don't want that. You want to work on files locally.

machine, make edits,

Which, by the way, is the only way that checkin/checkout will
work properly.

How can I share Catalog with multiple users?

I have Mac OSX 10.7.5
The catalog exists on a shared LOCAL folder that other users have read-write access to
The catalog works fine for the 1st user (no issues viewing, tagging, or updating photos & repairing it yields no issues)
However when I try to open this catalog with any other user I receive an error that the catalog may be corrupt and therefore cannot be opened...
Has anyone been able to share their catalog with multiple users on a Mac?
thanks
-Jay

If anyone runs into the same issue - I figured out why it wasn't working for me. Turns out it was actually an issue with folder permissions.
Despite the catalog being in a shared folder that all users can read/write to - Macs apparently don't understand inheritance & I needed to set the same read/write access to every sub-folder (the catalog folder & all of it's sub folders) as well.
This fixed my issue.
The Catalog is now shared between multiple users on the local drive with all the photos/videos stored on a NAS drive.

Hi,
You have to check group polices if browsing is enabled.

Mac OS 9 auto login with multiple users

Is there a way to have a mac running Mac OS 9 set up with multiple users autologin to one of the accounts?
Ok, since I know people will ask why do you want to do that. I have an old mac and found my old XTension home automation software. I want to make this machine a dedicated home lighting controller. (I have a new mac mini doing this in my house, but I wanted to play with the old machine for fun). Now, I have multiple users set up and one account for home automation that has the panel version of the finder and the only application visible is XTension. This all works great.
If the power goes out, I want the machine to reboot into this home automation account automatically. I also want to have the machine power cycle once a week just to keep from any memory problems etc.
Oops, sorry, i just realized there is another section for OS 9.x.

If you are using this for just Home Automation, why not turn off the "Multiple Users" add-ons and have it revert to a single-user system. Look at the "Multiple Users" Control Panel.

Sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users

Greetings,
I have been troubleshooting a problem sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users that cropped up a few weeks ago and have not had very good luck.
Several months ago I successfully set up my wife’s G4 Laptop (PowerPC processor) so that we could share iTunes on that computer. I had just gotten her an “My Book” external hard drive (Western Digital). The iTunes Library will go on this new unit because the internal drive was running out of room. I successfully set the privileges, moved the entire library onto a “Share” directory and everything worked fine.
In this way, when I got a new CD I could add it to iTunes (under my login, administrator privileges) and she could access it (under her login) to listen to while working on the computer or using her iPod. This arrangement went well for quite awhile.
About a month and a half ago, when I tried to launch iTunes from my login I received this message:
“The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.”
I think the permissions must have changed when there was an update because my wife is pretty careful about what she does on her computer. Updates were the only thing I could think of that had changed since I had set her computer up. I also noticed that some of the iTunes defaults were different from the last time I had used it to add a CD.
So, I did some reading and went back through the motions of trying to set it up again. I re-formatted the My Book hard drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) added the files back to the external, reset permissions on the external hard drive. (Owners: System, Access: read and write - Group: wheel, Access: read and write – Others: read and write).
When I now launch iTunes under my login I get this message:
“The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.”
What gives? I am the original owner and have always had top-level privileges.
Can someone point me to any articles or clues as to how I need to set-up iTunes on a single computer to be shared by more than one user? Also, I am considering upgrading to the newer system in a few weeks, so if a solution for OS X 10.5 is available, that would work too.
Tim

Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

ICal sharing with multiple users on same computer

How can i set up iCal to share with multiple users on the same computer?

yes, BUT... you need a central repository for the master calendars, usually referred to a Calendar Server. If you are not using a Mac OS X Server on your private network, I think you can use web-based servers that use standard calendar protocol.

In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

New Mac User: iTunes Auth with multiple user accounts

With a Mac with multiple user accounts, does EACH user account need to have iTunes authorized, or is iTunes authorized for an entire mac machine?

So then I assume that iTunes will know then if each of the computer's user accounts has a different iTunes account?
When you authorize an iTunes account on your computer, the authorization info is stored in \Users\Shared\. When you run iTunes, it looks there to see if it can play purchases. The purchase account info is embedded into each purchased file.

1 Apple TV 2nd Gen, Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts

The issue that I am having is I have 1 Apple TV 2nd Gen and Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts.
When I log onto my Windows user account, open up Itunes and turn on home sharing my Apple TV work perfect but if another family member switches to their Windows user account without logging me out, the home share shows up on Apple TV but it just says "Loading ... Library" and never loads.
If we switch back to my user account, restart iTunes, everything is fine. Is there a way to keep my home share active in ATV2 across multiple user accounts? All of my video is under my account.

You can home-share multiple libraries but only use one account at a time.
