Mac Book Pro - Maverick - Multi-user support

Hi
I would like to know if it's possible to use a single mac book pro two people simultaneously.
The idea is to have one of them using it from "local" (mouse + laptop keyboard + laptop screen) and another one that could maybe be "networked" (vnc or similar).
And if the answer is "yes" ¿could both of them be using the same software (for example adobe photoshop)? (obviously each user with managing its different files).
Thanks in advance!

Used it once, but I spent more time "allowing processes" than feeling safe because it was blocking bad things.  Your mileage may vary.
I use "NoScript" in Firefox to control which Javascripts in pages are allowed.  I use "AdBlock" to prevent popup ads.  I use "Ghostery" to prevent things from tracking where I go.
But with all of those you start with "block all until notified otherside" and spend time selecting allowed things.  For my Firefox, it *is* worth my time unblocking certain things.

  • I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge the files from these transfers into my main user account.  Help?

    I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account.  Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips?  Anyone? 

    Four transfers.  After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc.  Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all.  She sent me this link to help:  Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac.  I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I am wondering if your hard drive is failing? You might try downloading and running SMART Utility on it:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
    You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It is somewhat more critical than Disk Utility, and may give you earlier warning of impending drive failure.
    You might also want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test and see if you get any error codes.
    From the way your hard drive is behaving, it sounds to me like there is something wrong with it. Since reinstalling the OS doesn't solve anything, you are likely dealing with some sort of a hardware issue.
    Good luck!

  • I have a Mac book pro with 2 users myself and my husband I loaded pics from our camera onto my user page does anyone know how to view these pics from my husbands login page can I transfer some of my library to his login page

    I have a Mac book pro with iPhoto updated to iPhoto 11 we have 2 users on our Mac myself and my husband.  I recently loaded all of our pictures from a recent trip into iPhoto under my login screen.  Can these photos also be transferred into my husbands iPhoto library under his login screen ?  I want to transfer some not all of them and already deleted them from the camera card.

    Use iPhoto Sharing.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • One Mac Book Pro but 2 users...

    Hello,
    How can me and my partner both share the Mac Book Pro? Like in Windows you can have different accounts to the same PC.. can you do this on the Mac? We have both bought iPhones and need to sync contacts but we don't want the same contacts?
    Any Help?
    Cheers

    Yes, you can set up another account on the MBP. Go to System Preferences > Accounts (you may need to click the padlock to unlock), then click the + button just above the padlock.
    Note that in the other account, the iTunes media will not be accessible unless you set up sharing as described in this kbase article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
    An alternative solution is to just use one login account, and set up contacts groups in Address Book, and when you sync the two iPhones, you can select specific groups to sync to each iPhone (on the Info tab with the iPhone connected). The former solution is probably better if you'll both be using the MBP (since you can then have separate bookmarks, etc.). If the only reason for the other account is to sync the iPhone, the latter option may be easier.
    Hope this helps...

  • Mac Book Pro Mavericks OS 10.9.5 stops at apple logo with spinning gear.

    After working fine for a year, suddenly I cannot get past the apple logo with spinning gear page,
    Already tried:
    1. safe mode-loading bar disappears 1/3 way through,
    2. downloading/reinstalling Mavericks OS-took 4 hours, reboot led right back to same issue,
    3. disk/permissions repair - same issue when rebooted
    4. Resetting PRAM - heard second chime - same issue

    The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
    Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Boot Camp Mac Book Pro Can Boot to Win 8.1 but not Mavericks

    My Mac Book Pro Mavericks partition is damaged and I cannot boot to it, I can boot to Windows 8.1 without any issues.    Disk repair did not fix the problem, any suggestions?   I also tried using Migration Assistant to from my iMac to the Mac Book pro, had no luck there either, since Migration assistant being run on the iMac could not find another Mac. 

    You can upgrade to Windows 8.1 for free. Just open the Windows Store in Windows 8 and you will see an option to download Windows 8.1 update. The update may take several hours.

    The MAC window for migration assistant keeps searching the source computer..... and windows PC says waiting for the MAC to connect...

  • How do i set the iphone to auto sync with the mac book pro

    how do i set the iphone to auto sync with the mac book pro?

    Thanks but this is not what I am looking for.  I am looking for the settings - setting that allows our iphone to auto sync with your mac book when you make a puchase on either device.
    You aren't going to sync with my MacBook when I make a purchase.
    And you are not going to autosync your iPod with the MacBook unless you tell it to sync or plug it in.
    You can enable Automatic downloads when you make a purchase.
    iTunes settings > Store.
    When you make a purchase, it will automatically download that purchase to devices set up the same way.
    This is not the same as autosyncing your device to your computer (as you first asked).

    why is the idvd option on iMovie if its no longer included on the mac book pro?
    Most users buy iDVD (part of iLife 11 ON DISK).
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • What is the best scribe program for a Mac Book Pro?

    I am looking to purchase a scribe program for my new Mac Book Pro.  I need support as my arms/hands get numb.  I do a lot of writing.  What do you think would be the best for my Mac Book Pro?
    Many Thanks!!

    This would be speech recognition software. There is only one satisfactory product for this available on Macs - Dragon Dictate. From my limited experience it works exceptionally well given the state of the technology.
    It will require an appropriate microphone for best results plus the willingness to commit several hours to train the program to your voice. It can be used in most word processors/editors as well as work with many different applications' commands and OS commands.
