Multi User Upgrade Question

I have a question about the Snow Leopard upgrade. Back when I bought Leopard, I only had one Mac at home (G4) so I bought the single user version. Since then we have purchased a MacBook and a G5 (both came with Leopard) and all are running on the same network. I want to upgrade them all to Snow Leopard and wonder if I can do that with the multi user license version of the upgrade even though each machine has a separate user license of Leopard? And if not, what is the most cost effective way to upgrade them.
Thanks,
Wes

Hi Wes;
I am sorry to break the bad news to you but Macs that use G4 or G5 processors are not capable of being upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Only Macs that have Intel processor are capable of running Snow Leopard.

Time Capsule & NAS Multi-User Security Question

I want to know how time capsule manages multiple users backing up to the internal or USB drive attached to it. I understand that, in general, time machine uses all the drive's space, and just deletes the oldest backups, is this correct with the Time Capsule too? if so, how does every user get a fair share of the backup space? And if multiple users backup to the same drive (same Time Capsule), is there any security, or could someone just run the migration assistant to steal another user's data?
Oh, and if you backup to the drive attached to the capsule via USB, what do you see when you take that drive and plug it into your computer directly, is it like any time machine backup, or is it formated differently, like if there are multiple people backing up, is each person's backup stored in a password protected growing disk image or something? That would be great if it worked that way, where it would require a password to restore from the backup...

nobody?

ITunes match service multi user compatibility question

I have a brand new iPad and I am thinking about getting iTunes match. My wife and daughter both have ipod touches. Can I synchronize music and apps across diferrent family users accounts and devices or just a single users account and devices?

iTunes Match seems to be designed for using all your iDevices with just one iTunes Account. I think the best way to use it between all the family members devices is to have one iTunes account for all devices. This means you will share music playlists and all purchases from iTunes Store/AppStore will be charged this one account.
(You can still have different iCloud accounts to synchronizing contact, calendars etc.)

Since iPad is not a multi user device,

I'm interested in how other users deal with this.
My 1st iPad (I'll purchase more) is a coffee table device available to family and friends. Since I have many Apple products and confidential information that I don't want to share with friends/family/friends of family, I have taken the follow steps:
1. Not synced with Mobile Me, even though I subscribe, I don't want other people to sync to my master computers/databases. They can't make changes to my personal data.
2. I created a new email ID only used by the iPad. All mail sent by "other people" are sent from this ID.
3. Create Mail rules to forward general purpose family email to the iPad email ID.
4. Create subfolder/smartfolders of contacts, calendars, photos, etc and just download those subsets during sync.
5. Entrys into the iPad calendar upload into my master calendar but don't change anything I have set.
6. Contacts contain a small subset of family, friends. People that the typical user would email.
The iPhone, iPod have all been "personal devices". Information loaded wasn't as critical because that device was in one's personal possession. The iPad in many cases crosses that line into a multiuser device with single user support. All your personal data shouldn't be loaded for others to see/modify.
Your thoughts?

It's true, Capt. Fred, there's no security as yet on the iPad. Pages doesn't even let you save anything with a passcode. There are third party apps that will secure things (like +Documents to Go+ and Safe ) so you can secure files if you want to. You can also, of course, secure the entire iPad as you could the iPhone. It even has that feature that wipes the whole thing clean after 10 wrong password entries. But other than that, the whole thing is open and it does not support more than one user. There has been discussion of that elsewhere in this forum. In order for the OS to support a Windows or Mac like multi user account system, the thing would need to get a bit more complex than Apple wants just now, I think. But as more and more users migrate to the iPad for pretty much full time use, there will be more and more clamoring for more complexity and functionality. So it's a matter of time, I think. Already Apple is going to multitasking in the upcoming OS 4.0 upgrade for iPad and latest iPhones. My only question is, will my first run iPad support these inevitable future upgrades? We'll see, I guess. Sure hope so.

Multi User Skype

Multi User Skype was great until the latest software upgrade, which in my opinion was actually a downgrade. It is now awful - it keeps on dropping out - then users can't connect. It is totally unreliable. Very dissappointing.

Hi. A JDBC connection pool is a set of identical, interchangeable, pre-made
connections, and the controls to make sure only one user uses a particular
connection at any one time. If you want to have different DBMS users, you can
have a separate pool for each DBMS user, which may contain as many or few
connections as you want. Some applications has a pool for the accounting
applications, and another for the sales applications etc. Some do have a
separate pool for john, jane, joe etc, each with one connection. Pools
can be created and destroyed dynamically using the dynamic pool API.

Multi user application control data access

Dear all,
i am using Oracle Developer Suite 10g and database 10g, windows xp plate form.
i want to develop multi user application regarding education.
i have two questions.
1. i take a start from creating an HR database which have 30 tables.
this database has 10 users.
the users will log on from their own schema.
how they will access the HR schema?
should i create a public synonym for each table in the HR Schema?
or should i create a view for each table in each user schema?
or should i grant select,insert,update etc to each user on HR schema?
2. i want to control the data access for each user.
i.e. every student could access his own academic record. each teacher access his own related record, the manager the owner and so on.
how to accompolish this task? oracle roles are not sufficient for this purpose.
Your help is highly appriciated.

How about you start with the basic stuff, like the 2 days developers guide:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/to_toc?pathname=appdev.112/e10766/toc.htm
and make it to the advanced developers guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25518/toc.htm
and work your way through the concepts manual:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/to_toc?pathname=server.112/e25789/toc.htm
and everything else which sounds interesting to you in here:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=5&frame=
As for your first question this should be covered here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e16543/authorization.htm#BABHFJFJ
i want to control the data access for each user.This is also documented:

Aperture as a Multi-User Digital Asset Management Tool

Does anyone have any experience using Aperture in a multi-user environment? I'm trying to compare it to Cumulus by Canto which is designed as a multi-user tool.
I realize that each user would have a copy of Aperture on their Mac, but are there other issues that are not such as multi-variable searching capabilities of one versus the other. My gut tells me that Cumulus is more robust and can handle much larger libraries as well as all types of digital data and can search within document such as InDesign for a particular image.
Thanks
--Mitch

There is no possible way you can use Cumulus and
actually save money.
I don’t expect to save money. I expect to save time finding info, and avoiding duplication of almost everything we have
Stepping into digital asset management is a far bigger
issue than your boss can imagine. Try not to take this
personally, but your initial question about using
Aperture as an enterprise or workgroup DAM suggests you
have no idea what you're suggesting or possibly getting
into. Canto is all smoke and mirrors unless you can
afford the training and have dedicated, competent and
engaged support personnel.
Nothing taken personally. The question was asked because management is promoting Aperture as the end-all and be-all of imagement, whereas I’m looking for a tool to manage all our documents
Before you go much further, you need to understand
databases and you need to understand that DAM's return
on investment is not about saving money, it's about
preventing the spending of money; a huge difference and
there are few mgrs who can parse that difference from
the sales hype. Buy a copy of "The DAM Book" and try to
get someone to explain databases, cataloging
applications and server-based storage to you.
I understand databases quite well, but I will get a copy of the book you mentioned. I am running an Xserve in my environment, so I do understand servers and OS X Server.
I wish you tremendous luck and hope your experiences
are better than most of the Canto customers I have ever
met, including me. You just have no idea how expensively
wrong your decision to employ Cumulus could turn out to
be. Not that it's a bad product (although we thoroughly
despise it); it's sold as a miracle. Cumulus is a
supremely complex (not necessarily complicated),
over-designed and totally un-Macintosh application.
What version of Cumulus are you using, and why are you so unhappy with it? May I contact you off line to discuss this?
Thanks for the reply

Multi user calendar in CRM

Question - does SAP CRM have a multi user calendar that all users can read change and make additions to, enabaling the sales manager to arrange sales meetings that do not conflict with sales reps appointments and holidays booked?

Hi Experts,
I have same problem. We create appointment in CRM 2007 and adding the other employees to this activity. When we add other employees to appointment, want to display employees calendar in selected time space. If his/her calendar is empty we can add, else we couldn't.
I searched this application in search engine and found the "Room Calendar". Could we use this application in CRM 2007 UI, if yes how?
Thanks,
David.

Changing License from sing.le to multi user

Hello,
I recently bought iWork 08 for my wife's iMac.
I would like to install it on my G5 but would need a Multi user License.
Is there an "Online" way to do so ?
Thank you !
Henri

Welcome to Apple Discussions Henri
Unfortunately, no. You can generally return unopened software within 10-14 days, but there is no way to "upgrade" a single-user license.

Shared calendar items in multi-user calendar view

Hi!
I have another question:
The new multi-user Calendar-view is great - but we have one thing, which
is confusing to our users:
User A has a shared calendar (the owner of this shared calendar is User
B). It is clear, that User A can see appointments of this shared
calendar in his "main Calendar" if this shared calendar is "enabled".
But User A cannot see the calendar items of this foreign shared
calendar, if he changes to the new multi-user - view.
Does this work as designed or is it a bug?
Thanks a lot
Wolfgang

Does User A also have read proxy rights to User B's calendar?
Also, which version/patchlevel of the client are you using?

Multi User Conference Error (Multiple Subnets)

Hello,
I do not have a Mac OS X Server, but I was told that the OS X Server used Jabber and I am using a Jabber server (Windows based). I was hoping to find someone who has general knowledge of what I'm doing to possibly help out. I did originally post this question here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4921360#4921360
but I have not gotten a solution yet. It was suggested I post here because they are both Jabber servers.
Basically, I purchased 3 identical iMac computers. They are all running OS X version 10.4.9 with 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 GB of RAM. They are all running iChat AV 3.1.8. For authentication, we are using a Windows based Jabber server.
My company has three locations connected via a hardware VPN. Each site has their own subnet and all ports are open between the three sites.
When we first purchased the Mac computers, two went to Location X and were put on Subnet X. The other one was shipped to Location Y and put on Subnet Y. We tested three way video conferencing and it worked fine. We then packed up one of the computers and shipped it out to Location Z on Subnet Z. I can connect to Location X and Location Z on a 1 to 1 basis, but I can't begin a 3 way conversation. It tells me the user in Location Z can't enter a multi user conference.
Audio chat works, as well as text chat. Video chat does not. Based on the specs, I don't believe it is a hardware issue and I don't believe bandwidth is an issue. I spoke with tech support and they said I need only 100 kbps, which I have above and beyond.
As per my previous post in the iChat discussion, the bandwidth needed is actually 384k, which we have. It was also suggested that I run the cron scripts, which did not help. All ports are open, which is not something we need to consider.
I believe the root of the issue is the fact they are all on different subnets, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix that. It was suggested that I use Bonjour as a test, but I do not want a huge amount of traffic running around on the network as it detects the two Macs I need it to find. I have close to 400 users (most with two computers), over 100 servers, 50 users in each of the remote sites...and then to do that over a VPN.....
Any and all help is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.
P.S. - I am not super experienced at Mac, but I can usually find my way around. I have been mostly a PC guy most of my life.

Hi,
I appreciate that it was suggested that you post the question on this group, but I'm not sure that this is jabber technology problem.
I feel it is very important that you clarify some points for me.
Are you saying that the problem is only at location Z?
Can you confirm exactly what happens when the ichat Z tries to start the the way conference? Do the other clients get any messages (most important - does the status of client Z change in the window of clients X and Y?)
Need to know what happens when X and Y initiates the video chat.
Please clarity the above.
Jabber as a protocol set is very robust to issues of subnet and firewalls. The initiation of the group conference is processed via the jabber server, but once that phase in complete, the clients communicate directly with each other. If voice works, the video should also work, as the only difference is number of ports used (and bandwidth).
To help, I can give you access to a jabber server outside of your network to test things.

Multi-user set-up

Naive newbie question:
What is the usual method for making tables available to multiple users?
If I log in as user a and create a table, then try to access it as user b, I can access tables in a's schema as a.table.
How do I make the table available to all users so they don't have to keep qualifying it with the schema name? Or is there some better approach to setting up a multi-user d/b?
Which manual best covers these issues?
Thanks,
-Andy-

As user b, enter:
CREATE SYNONYM table FOR a.table ;
Or, if user a wants ALL users to access the table, then as user a, enter:
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM table FOR a.table ;
(Note that user a will need the CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM privelege).

Multi-User considerations

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a system, which is supposed to add users to a database. It has a HTML-front-end and a java-servlet working behind the scenes. My problem is, that I don't know how to prevent, that the values of the global variables gets mixed up, if several users use the servlet simultaneously. I don't want to implement the SingleThread-interface, because a multi-user-model is required.
It was suggested to me, that I could use cookies to solve the problem, but since I'm rather new to servlets, I don't know how to implement that.
Basically, my question is this: Does anyone have any good examples demonstrating how to solve this sort of problem? Are there any good tutorials available on-line?

Hi again,
I still have some trouble comprehending the concepts of threads and sessions in relation to servlets.
I've written a student-registration servlet that uses the session-tracking API in it's doPost-method. That means that it identifies the current user. It attaches an object (in this case a student-object) to the session.
Later on, in the doPost-method of a different servlet, I retrieve that student-object from the session, validate it and insert it in my database. I've synchronized my database-related methods but not the doPost-method. My problem is, that I'm unsure whether its possible for a different user's invalid student-object to get inserted between my validation-procedure and the actual writing to the database? Or to re-phrase the question: Do different threads spawn different versions of the doPost-method, or do they use the same? And in that case, is it necessary for me to synchronize the doPost-method?
I hope my question is not to obscure ;-)
