Multi users via local network on ARD

Hello
multi clients via local network on ARD
if I go via DSL or cable, how can I attach multiple positions in local network?
without any open IP ports?
A bit like team viewer?

As I understand it you can only play music from a shared library visible in iTunes, not copy that music to another library or iPod. If you can make a Windows shared folder visible to the Mac however, you can then add those files from their existing network location into the Mac's iTunes library, and then sync with your iPod.

  • Drag/Drop playlists between shared PCs via local network.

    Prior to Itunes ver 11.0.0.163, I was able to copy thru the drag/drop process a Itunes Home Shared playlist of music files on one computer - to another Home Sharing enabled  Itunes playlist, on another computer via local network. How is this done now?

    It appears with the release of Itunes ver 11.0.1.02 that this bug has been corrected.  Please close out this thread.  Thanks.

  • Sharing a Calendar from Mountain Lion server with Snow Leopard users on local network

    Hello.
    I have a new Mac Mini Server running Mountain Lion Server and I want to create a shared calender for a mix of Lion, Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard users on our local network. Does anyone have any info on how to do this? I have tried using the Server App and Calender Help within the applications, but the content isn't available. I have managed to create a Shared Calender  from the Mini's Calendar App where I've  added users and I can see a 'wireless' transmit icon to the right of the Calendar name - but I cant get any of the users' iCal or Calendar apps to recognise the Calendar on the local network. I've also created a Location in the Server App under Calendar and still can't see anything on the local network. Am I missing something really obvious?
    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, I hadn't explained everything fully. I don't want to open up my VPN to friends and family. I do have the router assigning the NAS a fixed IP, so that when I connect over the VPN I can use the local IP address to connect, as you have mentioned.
    What I would like is for my friends or family to connect to my server over AFP or SMB using the public IP of my network, which my router then forwards onto my server, and display the available sharepoints configured using Mountain Lion server. However, the NAS drive is not an available option this way as it has a separate IP to the server.
    As the NAS alllows guest access, I also don't want to configure the router to forward a specific port to it, as this way it will be open to the internet. I wanted to try and use my server as an authentication point, with profiles set using Mountain Lion server, and limited to file sharing services only.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • Persistent Permissions frustrations for legit users on local network

    We have two desktop Macs and a MacBook on our local Ethernet network just here in our house.
    To facilitate full file sharing amongst all of the family from any of these three Macs, we use common usernames and passwords for the home accounts on each machine and have done our best to open up sharing for easy log-on to or from any of the Macs from either of the other two.
    But we are constantly being denied write access when at a remote machine, despite the fact the entire User directory on the "server" or shared computer is intended to be opened up for both the owner and others to share. It is very frustrating.
    So I put this in the form of a question:
    How, under 10.5, do I open up every single folder and file starting at my /User home level and all the way down through the various levels under the Desktop, Documents and other folders? How do you have an open Read/Write permission for yourself and other users on the network apply to everything and not just the top level folder ??? There used to be a checkbox under the "Get Info" box that let you change permissions for various users and tick off a box to have these permissions apply to all enclosed folders all the way down. This feature seems to be missing in 10.5.6.

    You need to set up a sharing folder and then put an ACL on it. The ACL can be set to propagate write permission down to everything inside.
    Open Terminal and paste in all of this:
    sudo chmod -R +a "everyone allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
    addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" (hit spacebar, drag sharing folder into Terminal window, press return)
    From this point on, anything you newly save or copy to the sharing folder or to any of its subfolders should be writable by anyone.

  • Use FaceTime with both users on local network?

    I'm trying to use FaceTime with a user on the same local network. It doesn't work. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Completely reboot both phones ... be sure your wifi is linked (on both phone) That's as much as I know ...
    I've FaceTimed on the same wifi signal w/out any problems so, it should be just a simple restart.

  • Sync an iPod (Mac formatted) with a library on pc via local network

    Hi all u supportive people!
    I´ve bought an iPod classic 80 and a MacBook w OS 10.5 Leopard, and I have a windows pc as well. My problem is to transfer files from my large iTunes library at my pc to my iTunes at my new MacBook in order to sync my iPod (Mac OS formatted)afterwards. How do I do that??? My computers connects nicely through my wireless network at home. In both iTunes their corresponding libraries are shown. But I´m unable to drag songs from lib to lib. Howcome? Does anyone of u have a suggestion ? I´ve tried (almost) everything.
    best regards,

    As I understand it you can only play music from a shared library visible in iTunes, not copy that music to another library or iPod. If you can make a Windows shared folder visible to the Mac however, you can then add those files from their existing network location into the Mac's iTunes library, and then sync with your iPod.

  • Create a New Local Network User

    Hi,
    I have a Mac OSX (Snow Lion) server on a network with three Mac Computers (2 on Mavericks and 1 on Lion). Our computers are a shared resource among employees. Basically I enable each member of our company to be user on any computer.
    I had a chap come in and create the original employee user accounts (Local Network User). Since our company has grown by two. I now want to create accounts them too. This chap has now moved.
    So far I have gone into Server OSX and created the users. How do I now get these accounts to show up on the client computer login screen. I went into profile manager and read the server documentation. And then got stuck!
    Can anyone coach me through this.
    Thanks
    Andrew

    If you want the local user account to use a specific UID to match an account in your Open Directory setup then it is not necessary to manually create a local user with a matching UID. The normal approach is to set the Mac up to automatically create a mobile account that matches the Open Directory account. When the user logs in on the Mac for the first time the user account would be created with the matching UID, matching short and full names, and matching password and the password will be kept in sync with the Open Directory account. This setting can be done via Workgroup Manager and MCX preferences if you still use that method, or more typically these days via a setting in Profile Manager. (Or equivalent.)
    If you really must create a local account with a specific UID then create the local account as normal, make sure you have if needed unlocked the padlock in Users & Groups in System Preferences and then Option-Click on the user account on the left, a menu will appear listing the choice "Advanced Options..." and this will let you change the UID.
    Note: You may need to later do the following in Terminal.app
    sudo chown -R user /Users/user

  • How can local user send message to other user via OSX server in mac maverick

    I just install OS X server in mac mavericks and enable services such as message, DNS, VPN, etc. I also create local users and local network users. I add some local users from OSX server to Message app in order to message to server, but I cannot send any message to those user, even Bonjour is available but I cannot use it to send message in local network.
    I already followed all Server Help in Messages like in this image:
    I try to access to my local OS X server via IP address by using other PC, Mac and iPhone and I can get this interface:
    I already try in iPhone to send message to local user in OS X server after accessing to OS X server via IP Address, but I don't know how local user can get that message and I see nothing in message_archives of message data of server. Therefore, how each user in OSX server can message to each other across OSX server ? Does Admin have to write some codes or make configuration for providing message services to those users ?
    Message was edited by: chhanmalin

    Client users need to use XMPP client app to log in to server with account name like in server , then user can send message to other users in server. Client users can use iphone, pc, or mac.

  • Practical usage / difference - local vs server (local / network) accounts

    I have purchased a book on Mountain Lion Server, looked on the Apple support community and the Internet but I cannot find a clear answer, or explanation, to my query.
    Instead of looking at the features in Mountain Lion (ML) Server and Open Directory (OD) I'd like to approach this in terms of the functionality I would like to achieve. I am sure that many other people have had, will have, the same sort of questions.
    Some background: I have an all Apple home network — few Mac machines (iMac, MacBook), iPad, iPhone & Airport Extreme. I recently purchased a Mac mini running ML which I have setup as a server. The installation went OK and the DNS setup is fine.
    This is my question / requirement / clarification needed.
    As I understand it there are three types of user accounts in OS X + OS X Server with OD:
    Computer (standalone) Local — basically the account you would have on a Mac if you had only the one machine. Using (as I believe) a local 'Open Directory' (?) database.
    Server 'Local User' — an account on the server using a local OD database on that specific server.
    Server 'Local Network User' — an account on the server using a networked OD database on the server.
    Below is what do I want to do — this is the functionality I want / don't want. I am aware that some of this functionality may, or may not, be available on OS X + Server + OD. Also I am looking at this from the perspective of a systems administrator of Windows + Active Directory sites — not saying that Windows & AD is better, but that that is my experience & frame of reference.
    Access to shared common services — DHCP, DNS, Files, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, Time Machine backup, VPN. That is all the goodies I expected to get with a dedicated Mac mini OS X server machine.
    To have access to those services within the home LAN and, as relevant (Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Messages) via the Internet. If via the Internet then securely via use of certificates.
    Each user (currently) has their own machine with their (Unix style) home folder & files on that machine (the MacBook may have more than one account on it) and is logging locally onto their specific machines.
    I do NOT want to have the user's (Unix style) home folder (and all folders within) to be on the server.
    Users must be able to log onto their machines (i.e. MacBook) when outside the LAN and be able to access their local machine files.
    Now we come to the question of which type of OS X + OS X Server (OD) account do I use for people — keep the local machine account? Use server account? If so then which — server 'Local User' or 'Local Network User'. Of course this can be framed as which OD a user authenticates against and what are the ramifications of each method.
    Also relevant is the point that I don't believe OS X Server + OD supports the same concept of Windows called 'cached credentials'. Which means that I couldn't have, for example, files on a computer (MacBook) which have an ACL referencing a server user account GUID because they could not be accessed if the user account was not able to authenticate (outside the LAN) with the OD server.
    Anyway to the questions — to achieve all, most of, the five functionality points in the list should I use (and why if someone could explain rationale):
    Combination of computer (standalone) Local + server 'Local User' accounts? Obviously as users will be accessing resources on the server it cannot be just Computer (standalone) Local accounts.
    Combination of computer Local + server 'Local Network User' accounts?
    Just server 'Local Network User' accounts
    I am suspecting that it will be option 1, combination of computer (standalone) Local + server 'Local User' accounts. If this option is used would there be a problem if the two accounts have the same username?
    Thanks for any help, advice, and/or instruction. Also if anyone has links to further information that would be much appreciated.

    Most services (calendar, contacts, vpn) require that your users authenticate via Open Directory.
    Your admin account can be local, but put your users in Local-Network (in 10.8 terms)

  • Accessing public folders in the local network

    I work with 8 other mac users and we all share files using our Public folders via local network. This is how we typically would access each other's Public folder: open a Finder window, choose Network, then choose the name of the mac that we want to connect to. Then, connect as "Guest". We are all on OS X Tiger.
    Recently, one of us upgraded to the OS X Snow Leopard, and we couldn't access her Public folder since the switch. We believe she is on the network, because she has been printing to the network printer and can connect to all of our Public folders. I tried to follow this instruction from Apple Support page to set up file-sharing on her iMac (with Snow Leopard):
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/17131.html
    I hit a snag at #4 (bullet #2), because I couldn't find "network users" to add to the users list. When the rest of us try to connect to her computer, this is the message that we got:
    The alias "Stacey's computer (3)" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
    Can someone help me with this problem? I have browsed the Discussions and Forums and didn't see anything that was helpful. Thanks!

    HI,
    The Snow Leopard user... have her repair disk permissions and see if that helps...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Dreamweaver will not save site settings local/network

    MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.2
    CS6 Dreamweaver version 12 build 5808
    1st site definition:  I want to test files locally, then 'put' them to my test server.
    2nd site definition:  I want to take the file from my local folder and 'put' it to my production server.
    I mounted 2drives on the mac... my test server and my live server.  The drives have been mounted on different mount points so they don't overwrite each other. 
    I go into Dreamweaver and select 'manage sites'. I browse to my local folder for the first screen...  the next screen (Server tab) wants the path to the test server.  I browse to the correct server (verified!!) and click 'Choose'.  The path shown in the box on the active 'Server' tab is correct.... BUT when I click 'save', the path CHANGES to my production server.
    It will absolutely NOT save the information that I have specified.  I am connecting to my servers via local/network.
    I've renamed the dreamweaver prefs folders and deleted the site-cache contents...  
    Almost an hour on the phone with Adobe, and the tech told me they were not trained to assist with local/network setups.  What is interesting is the fact that when I browse out to my test server from 'manage sites', I can see my files, expand my folders, etc.  It is not a permissions issue- Dreamweaver just won't save the information I enter.
    Would appreciate any help I can get on this....

    Nancy, I appreciate your time but looks like we found something that will work for us...
    OS X does not seem to know what to do with mounted drives if they have the same name.  For example:
    ip:  192.xxx.xxx.22\MyServer
    and
    ip:  192.xxx.xxx.23\MyServer
    when these are mounted, even at different mount points and with different IP addys, OS X only "sees" the sharename, and seems to disregard the mapping to the share   Awesome!! 
    Re-naming one of the network shares was NOT an option, and the Alias option on OS X does not help at all..... OS X still only sees the sharename, even when the Alias is well......renamed as an alias....    go figure! 
    Since we were unable to find any way to resolve this from OS X, we ended up creating a second network share for the target folder, using a different name.  Issue resolved.

  • Active Directory users not made member of Local Network group

    Hi all,
    I've just done a clean install from 10.6 Server to 10.8.4.
    The issue I seem to be having is a mismatch between what Groups in Server.app is reporting as members (who happen to be users or groups from our Active Directory domains) of a Local Network group and what dseditgroup reports as members of the same network.
    The Setup:
    In Groups in Server.app under Local Network Group I have created a group call "AccessServer"
    Members in that group are:
         - AD-Domain User Group (so should be all users in the domain)
         - MacOS X "netaccounts" group (again, should capture all users that connect through the network I've used this in the past/10.6 very handy)
         - AD User 1
         - AD User 2
         - AD User 3
    The Server is bound to the AD Domain, All-Domains is not selected and a Search Path is added for each Domain needed and set at the top of the search order.
    The Behaviour:
    AD User 1 can access AFP and other services as expected.
    AD User 2 and 3 cannot.
    Another user within AD-Domain User Group or netaccounts can access AFP and other services as expected
    Yet other users within AD-Domain User Group or netaccounts cannot
    Furthermore: 
    If I REMOVE AD User 1 (a working user) *and* the AD Domain Group and netaccounts Group.  I can still login with that account!
    Diagnosis:
    I tried checking group membership with dseditgroup, the results match the behaviour, not the setup.
    >dseditgroup -o checkmember -m ADUser1 accessserver
    yes ADUser1 is a member of accessserver
    >dseditgroup -o checkmember -m ADUser2 accessserver
    no ADUser2 is NOT member of accessserver
    >dseditgroup -o checkmember -m ADDomainUser/netacc accessserver
    yes ADDomainUser/netacc is a member of accessserver
    >dseditgroup -o checkmember -m n accessserver
    no ADUser2 is NOT member of accessserver
    When non-member users try to connect I get a message in the logs of (IP/DNS values anonymized):
    2013-06-25 3:04:36.794 PM sshd[5217]: error: PAM: authentication error for illegal user ----- from ----.mala.bc.ca via x.x.
    I get the same results even after removing the user from the Groups screen!
    Failed Solutions
    - As we are a large AD I've tried specifying specific Active Direcotry servers that might better be able to find the users in question and authenticate.
    - I've let the system just sit, in hopes delayed replication would solve the problem overnight.
    - I've deleted and recreated the groups.

    Upon further investigation we have discovered:
    a) the main behaviour that is causing the problem is best described as AD users that are added to a Local or Network OS X group... either individually or through a Domain group.... are not actually recognized as members of that OS X group even though the GUI or CLI tool have added them and acknowledge them as being in the list.
    b)  This is NOT limited only to MacOS X Server 10.8.  The same behaviour is occuring on a long-running 10.6 server as well.
    c) The problem remains whether we nest AD groups to capture a large bunch of users, or add users individually.  If the user is part of the mysteriously denied set, how they are added to the OD or local group is irrelevant, including if added from the command line.
    d) Which users are allowed and which are not is unclear and appears generally random.  We have found 3 'classes' of users:    
              1 - those that are successfully becoming members every time.
              2 - those that are intermittent members.  Members on one server or another, or in one case even go from being reported as a member (by dseditgroup), to not being a member, to being a member again within the span of only a minute or two.
              3 - those that are never successfully admitted as a member.
    So the problem is both Apple's and Windows in that:
    Apple: Is allowing a group and/or user to be added and implying then membership in the group even though that membership is not being honoured in some way and there is no feedback or communication of that fact aside from generic 'denied' or 'illegal user' errors.
    Windows:  Is passing along membership through its groups and users, but not completely, for reasons that are, at this point, a mystery.
    Really hoping people have some ideas on this.  This system of nested groups or individual user access is something we have of course being using for many years.  So this is a major setback.

  • Can't create Local Network Users in Yosemite

    I can't create Local Network Users (or change passwords)
    Logged on to /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 as directory administrator
    When I try to create a new user (press the [+], fill in the form), it brings up the message:
    existing connection is not authenticated or secure: password change denied
    I suspect this is emblematic of other issues. I can authenticate for Mail and SMB, but not for AFP or Xcode

    So I had this problem last night as well when I upgraded my 10.9.5 OD master to 10.10.
    Two obvious problems after that upgrade:
    1)  Could not add a new Local Network User
    2)  Existing users could not connect via AFP (but could via SMB)
    Through a series of trial and error (and with two Apple Support people...), we found that the following actions seemed to help fix some (but not all) of the problems.:
    Problem #2 seemed to initially be fixed by archiving the OD Master, destroying the OD Master and then reimporting from the archive.  I archived from the upgraded 10.10, but should probably have tried restoring my 10.9.5 archive (which may end up being why I still have some problems...)
    Problem #1 seemed to be solved when I used WorkGroup Manager to reset the password on the Directory Administrator account I use  (I also blew out all references to that account from the Keychain, so everything reprompted me to add that password
    However, we think the root cause of this might have been that in /var/db/openldap/migration, the following "dot" files were still present after the upgrade
    fs:migration root# ls -la
    total 6308816
    drwx------  10 root  wheel         340 Oct 30 18:59 .
    drwxr-xr-x   6 root  wheel         204 Oct 30 18:57 ..

    -rw-------   1 root  wheel           0 Oct 30 18:59 .enableODProxyd
    -rw-------   1 root  wheel           0 Oct 30 18:59 .rekerberize

    -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  3228537344 Oct 30 18:59 oldsystem.tar
    Those 4 .dot files were *not* present in that directory on the two other test OD Master servers that I upgraded without issue.
    So we removed them and after having done all the above as well -- I can now add users to the server.   The OD engineer I talked to thought that the presence of those .dot files may have been triggering something to rerun every time PasswordService launched.
    When all was said and done, I was then able to "kinit <mydiradminaccount>" correctly and get a "klist" without issue.
    ALL THAT SAID:  As of this morning, *some* (most?  I don't know yet) of my existing OD user accounts are able to successfully log into the server.   A couple of them (so far) are reporting that their account is "disabled" (which is different from the "shaking"/can't-log-in behavior) -- but they can still log in via SMB -- so I think there was still a problem migrating OD accounts in the upgrade process.
    AND -- I noticed that -- in Server 4.0 -- "change password" is greyed out, so I have to use WorkGroup Manager to change server account passwords.

  • How to unshare /Network/Servers/users-computer.local ?

    Hi
    are there any security issues on /Network/Servers/users-computer.local ?
    Everytime I delete it :sudo rm -rf /Network/* removes the shared stuff.
    But when I log back in I see /Network/Servers/users-computer.local is there again.
    Are who can access my users-computer.local? is it shared via network?
    How do i delete it permanently?
    thanks

    You can't. Your single machine is on its own Network, with you as the local user. What you're seeing is normal behavior. There's nothing to worry about.
