Make an app such as Skype available to other users (logins)

I need to make Skype available to other users set up on my (first) Mac... can't find help for this in the Help sys. I am a recovering PC user and new to Mac. I want to perform login management. I have spent over three hours trying to figure out how to get Skype visible to other users on this (home) Mac.

TY Drexus!
It is installed in neither of those locations. It is not in 'Harddrive/Applications/" or user folders. It appears to have installed it in the ROOT on the same level (in Finder) as "Macintosh HD." I logged into my primary Admin account and used the Skype defaults for installation.
Sorry if this is a double-post.

Free call apps such as Skype, Viber...

In Korea, recently, KT(Korea Telecom)try to prevent some free call apps such as Skype, Viber. This company announced a new fare policy a few days ago.
It says that if u wanna use VoIP like Skype, you have to pay more for the basic charge. U know, It so bad... Until now, we've been using that freely.
How about your country ?
Does your mobile communication company prevent that ?
Regards,

I have version 2.1.2 of the Skype app I downloaded from the US iTunes store, and it will allow me to make voice calls over the 3G network. I have used this a few times, but don't generally do that as I already have over 3000 "roll-over" minutes, average less than 30 minutes used each month, and have the lowest minute package I can get. I don't really have a need to reduce my minutes used. Also keep in mind that in the US if you don't have a "grandfathered" unlimited data plan you may cost yourself more in data usage than you would pay for minutes used.
Also, I have not followed-up too closely, but Skype was talking about needed some form of subscription for using the mobile app. I also like how they have a clause that if you are on Verizon, then your Skype calls use your voice minutes and not data usage anyway...

When attempting to install Apps such as skype or whatsapp, prompted to advise a parrent to sign in.

Hi,
I have a Nokia Lumia 520 phone. When I attempt to install apps such as skype or whatsapp, prompted to advise a parent to sign in.
To be sure, I place my birthday as of year 2001 for convienient sake. But I began to think that it could be this reason I was prompted to ask an adult to sign in. However, after I manage to change my birthday I was still prompted to ask an adult to sign
in so that I can install the apps.
Please advise what is the issue? Should I reset factory settings?
Thank you.
Joshua

Hi,
Yes the problem is because of our birth date issue itself.
One option is to link this account with any existing MS account like a family, which is done in case of actual minors using it. But it will give problems later to download Apps since you not are logged in as adult.
Try disconnecting from MS account as stated
here and then connect to a new account. I dint tried it but it should work.
Or factory reset (settings->about->reset) is the option AFAIK.

Make queries available for other users

Hello,
I have created a query in SQVI (quickviewer) and I am trying to make it available for other users. How can I do that? Do I need to create an infoset in SQ02?
Thx,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Though I have not worked using T.code SQVI, I had done the ABAP Query using "SAP Query". The procedure in it is in T.Code SQ03, we create a User Group and assign the users in the same, so that the users can access the Query. Hope this might help you. If you require I can send you the documentation on the same.

Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

Really Apple?
With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
Thank you.

Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

How to make iPhotos library available to other users

how to make iPhotos library available to other users

To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

New application not available to other users

My iMac is set up with a separate user account for each family member. My wife has admin priveleges, my daughter's is a general account and my son's is restricted (i.e. kid friendly).
I just installed Rosetta Stone v3 from within my account. I confirmed that it runs properly; the installation was successful. My next step was to check that my family could use the program. Within my wife's account I got the following message: Fatal Application Error 5118. Naturally, my first thought was Permissions. I went back to my account and set the group Everyone to have read/write permissions and set the third menu (Others? Guests? I forget what it's called...) to read/write too. Back to my wife's account; Error 5118. I looked in the Get Info window to confirm the changes took place and they had. I restarted the machine, checked Get Info again (still read/write for everyone) and once again got Error 5118.
I've called Rosetta Stone. Of course they're not Mac-saavy, but they indicate Error 5118 is a permissions conflict.
My question(s): is there any way to ensure that applications I install are available to all users? Do I have to log in as Root (something I HATE doing) to install new applications?
Thanks in advance...
Dave

Problem Solved! Although I had set the privileges for the application, the problem was in HD>Library>Application Support>Rosetta Stone. By setting that folder and its enclosed folders to read/write for everyone, the fix was in.
It's too bad that I had to do any of this. The installer should have adopted the permissions from the folders it installed into. Grrrr.
BTW, the error message was a Rosetta Stone message, not a Mac OSX message; I didn't make that clear before.

Redirecting skype-call to other user

Hi, I'm looking for a solution to get the compagny over to VoIP. Skype got my attention because it already works on several pc's, is easy to install and cheap.
However there is one 'but' that prohibits me at this moment to switch to skype with around 10 users and to purchase 10 skype-phones with telephonenumbers.
Is it possible (and if so, how? I've been looking for days now) to forward a call to another number/user? So if I get a call but it is more suited for my colleague, that I can connect the caller through to my colleague?
Please let me know, it is at this moment the only thing that is holding me back. Thanks a lot in advance!

Ahh, you were half right, thanks! Between 'phone' menu and the typed number is a box that says 'call type, cellular' if you click it you have the option of making it via Skype. As always with the N900, simple and obvious, but i still missed it

Does anyone have Skype for iPhone 3gs OS 4.1? I just really wanna have tht app and the skype available on itunes doesnt work on my OS, and I dont wanna upgrade it either because I have read a lot of reviews saying OS 5 makes their iphone slower. :(

Please..I would appreciate your help guys. Thanks!!

In iTunes on your Computer, Download The Skype App normally.
Then on your iPhone, go to the App Store App, Under Updates->Purchased.
Look for Skype there, and tap the Cloud icon to initiate the download. It will tell you its not compatible, but offer a compatible version for download.
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X

How to make local scenarios available to other users

I have an xcelsius file with a couple of saved scenarios. I export the file to PDF and send it out to users. The users are not able to see or load the scenarios. Is there a way to fix this?

Correct me if I am wrong but scenarios are saved in some obscure path somewhere on the user's desktop. Sending a PDF - regarless of whether the recipient has Adobe Reader whatever version of the full Acrobat 9 - will not make any difference: the end user needs to have the scenarios in the same path. Even then, I am not sure that it works. If you export exactly the same version of a dashboard and run it on the same pc where scenarios were saved with the last version of the dashboard, they are not available. The path to which scenarios are saved seems to be different with every dashboard (I have tested this but I would be happy to be proved wrong).
Saving scenarios is abosultely crucial to many dashboards. The fact that dashboards are not transparently persistent is an issue, for me, and it is something that I would very much like to explore as part of new features. For example, it would be good to be able to let the user select where scenarios are saved or at least have them saved somewhere that is relatively easy to find. But there are pitfalls with that kind of freedom: you cannot have a situation with two quite different dashboards trying to load in the same scenario. By definition, that cannot work.
Long subject but the bottom line is: you cannot do it, at least not without some major hassle, in my experience.

How do I make my iTunes library available to other users on the same pc?

I would like my wife to be able to access my iTunes, but from her user account. That's possible, isn't it? Right now her library just comes up empty. I have Vista 64. What would be the easiest way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Dashboard customization available to other users

For the different dashboards our user wants to update the settings once and make this view available to many people in his organization. How may I do this?
Here are steps to follow to clarify what I am asking.
1) View project dashboard.
2) Click Settings link.
3) Add and Remove columns.
4) Click Save as... button.
5) Enter a description.
6) In the assignment drop down, I only have user 00 should there be another option?
7) Click OK
8) Now user can select the view in their dashboard. (Or they could have set it to their intial view.)
Is there a way that I can do this once and share my view with others?
Thank you,
Wendy

How do i get kids games to be available on there user login

i got 2 games for my 3 year old -go diego and dora. when i log in under my sons name i cannot play the games. I can only play them under my log in. he has done a heck of a job messing up my screen and i would like him to only be able to play on his login. How do I do that?

When you created an account for him did you activate Parental Controls? This limits his use of the internet and the apps that he can use. You would need to go into Parental Controls in System Prefs/Accounts to add the games to his account that you want him to be able to use.
