Multiple users accessing same events

Good Afternoon, i wondered if anyone could assist me. I have described what is going on and have a few questins which i have added in bold.
We are a school in the UK running three Apple suites with a mixture of iMacs and macbooks.
The scenario:  We have local users accessing some video footage to create a trailer and i would like to find the best method for this.
The Problem:  We opted to use local users rather than network users as i believe imported video events are stored locally. Is this correct?
Based on the previous problem i have created two users, User1 & User2.  If User1 imports the event then User2 cant see this and would like to work on the same event, then they have to import the event again.  Is there anyway that User1 & User 2 could access the same event without doubling it up?
The problem does change slightly that if i use a networked user, and run iMovie then they can see the events on the local hdd. This only happens on certain machines.  Any ideas why this would happen?
If anyone can help in anyway it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The Problem:  We opted to use local users rather than network users as i believe imported video events are stored locally. Is this correct?
Yes, the are stored locally, I don't know if Network users do anything more than authenticate over the network then use the local hard drive anyway. That depends on whether or not your users are setup with Network Home drives or are Mobile users that use the local hard drive instead. You might be able to find out from your SysAdmins whether or not Home folders are on a central server of some kind.
Network users authenticate and have a network home drives.
Is there anyway that User1 & User 2 could access the same event without doubling it up?
It seems like there would be a benefit to using an external Mac HD in this case as the permissions on that folder could easily be ignored. Then any user on that Mac will be able to see the iMovie Projects and Events saved onto that external HD and use them without doubling up the Events folder material. Unfortunately I don't think you can force iMovie to use a different folder for the Movies folder on an internal Hard drive. So an external HD might provide an easy workaround if that's possible. And better yet, it makes it all portable BETWEEN Macs if you need to setup on a different machine for some reason.
Thanks, thats was what i wanted to know.  Although I dont think the department will be too keep on buying a minimum of 30 external hdd.
This only happens on certain machines.  Any ideas why this would happen?
I don't want to blame this on how the machines are configured, but it may be the network users are seeing a Network Home folder in some cases when they are logged in, and in other cases they are seeing the local home folder on the internal Mac HD. I'm just guessing at this point. But it should be consistent across all the machines depending on if the network users is a Network Home user or a Mobile user.
I have double checked and all users are seeing their network home and no local version.
I just wondered if myabe an older version of iMovie(09) allowed the users to see all events even as local users or network. - bizarre really

  • How to avoid multiple users accessing same test data via parameterization in LR??

    i am using LR11.5, i have the following test data:

    when i run this script from Controller with 3 users LR picks it as user1->1, user2->1, user3->1
    How do i achieve this case: user1->1, user2->2, user3->3 ??
    Any help would be great.

    I have a related question. i created 2 websites/domains then i went to users and created 2 seperate "network" users then i went to ftp and selected each website and added only user A to site A and user B to site B. what's weird is that when i try to ftp using either of the users it seems to land on the same site. i looked at shared security for the folders and it only shows user a on site a folder and user b on site b folders. am i doing somehitng wrong or is this how it works in mountain lion server? i just want to give the domain owner ftp access so they can manage their files and only thier files. i also had to turn on open directory so that it would not create a local user but a network user. do i need to turn that off and just deal with having a bunch of local users as ftp user? i want to host multiple websites on the server and NO users remote on to server besides ftp.
    edit 1: i only have 1 IP running on the server which i don't think it has any affect on this but thought i mention it :-)
    edit 2: i just noticed one more thing that may help. i used filezilla to remote in using both users, one at a time. it seems to allow both users in but then it shows same directories. i then created a file using the one that was not supposed to have acces and it never sows up. but if i remote desktop to server i can see the new file in the correct folder. so it may have something to d o with the directory listing.

  • How to setup for multiple users accessing same share?

    Hi!
    Recently picked up Mac Mini Server and have some configuration questions related to sharing files & information over the internet. Whenever possible, prefer to use the built-in features & tools, not 3rd party tools.
    My setup & needs are this:
    - Have folders & sub-folders with files to share.
    - Wish to give individuals access to the shared folders, each with their own account (and access logging).
    - Shared folder and files should be visible via web to authenticated users only (so no special client or setup is needed).
    Right now, have added a Website via Server.app that points to the folder with files to share, and that works somewhat, but doesn't support individual user accounts separately?
    Thought maybe to setup VPN but that seems like massive overkill for this (and is a pain in the butt for non-technical users to setup).
    Editing httpd.conf for user support is a possibility, but seems /etc/apache2/httpd.conf only applies to the default web server (on port 80) not the one i set up in Server.app?
    Can anyone recommend the best approach, given the above needs?

  • How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

    How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

    When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
    You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

  • Multiple User access in ATP

    I am designing custom ATP for our client. Actually, this logic accesses batch classification data and the calculation logic also differs.
    The concern that I have is if one user (say A) creates a sales order item and runs a successful Availability check and goes on to create second sales order item. simultaneously if another user (say B) comes to create new sales order item for same material. now the ATP quantity that second user gets should be less than the quantity confirmed by user A. But both the sales order have not been saved. so how do I block the quantities confirmed by A but yet not saved.
    Is there any special method for multiple user access at runtime.

    Thanks for ur reply. it was really helpful to gain more insights in my issue.
    1. For performance-related reasons, the only time when it makes sense to set the material block with quantity transfer is when it is common for several users to work on the same material simultaneously. And in VA01 there are many parallel Sales order creation
    2.You create a sales order for a material. During the availability check, this material is blocked. After the availability check is completed, the block is removed. The quantity reserved for this transaction is recorded in the blocking table. This information can be assessed by all others who are working with this material. If you save the order, the blocked entries are cancelled. this how Material block with quantity transfer in SD works.
    The concern that I have now is how to get Blocking Tables for transaction VA01.

  • ARCA Xtra  - multiple user access to SQLite DB

    Hi Guys,
    I have having trouble with multiple users accessing a SQLite DB file from a projector. They can all open and browse the data through the projector fine, but if USER1 makes a change and clicks save, and then USER2 tries access the DB it causes USER2 to get a script error.
    Is it possible to write a script which tells the user that the DB is being modified so please wait, rather than throwing them out of the projector with a script error
    Thankyou

    If you want multiple users to access a database then you would probably be better off using one designed for that purpose like MySQL.
    But, if you are set on SQLite and if you can have multiple simultaneous connections which you seem to imply you can, then the best solution I can think of is to create a Class/Script that handles all the details of polling the database for availability and handles other issues like a progress dialogue box.
    You have to treat the database as an asynchronous action - meaning you send it a query and at some latter time it sends a result back via a callback. Doing it this way greatly simplifies any database queries you want to make. As long as your queries are fairly simple like SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, etc. then the code is fairly straight forward.
    Off the top of my head I wrote something to get you started. I have not tested this code but it does compile. The following is a Parent script that you would use to interface to your database in an asynchronous manner.
    -- Asynchronus SQLite
    property  pDB  -- instance of Arca xtra
    property  pTimeoutTime  -- how long in milliseconds to ping database
    property  pPingTime  -- time between database pings.
    property  RunningQuery  -- Boolean. is a query running? true/false
    property  pTimeOb  -- timout object for polling the database
    property  pCurOperation  -- set of data for current query
    property  pPingCount  -- how many times the current query has pinged the database
    property  pAlertBox  -- a MIAW, LDM, or a Sprite that informs the user as to the progress of the query.
    on new me
      arcaregister([0000,000,0000])
      pDB = xtra("arca").new()
      Result = pDB.openDB(the moviepath & "ST_data")
      if Result.errorMsg then
        alert("Error Opening Database" & return & pDB.explainError(Result.errorMsg))
        return void
      end if
      pTimeoutTime  = 10000 
      pPingTime  = 250
      RunningQuery = false
      pAlertBox = Sprite(1000)  -- for example
      return me
    end new
    on cleanup me
      pDB.closeDB()
    end cleanup
    on executeSQL me, Query, CallbackOb, CallbackMethod, OptionalParameters
      if RunningQuery then exit -- only allow one query at a time
      RunningQuery = True
      pCurOperation = [#Query:Query, #OptionalParameters:OptionalParameters, #CallbackOb:CallbackOb, #CallbackMethod:CallbackMethod]
      pPingCount = 0
      pTimeOb = timeout().new("QueryProcessor_"&me, 1, me, #processQuery)  -- creating the timeout object here breaks the call stack, which is good.
    end executeSQL
    on processQuery me, TimeOb
      Result = pDB.executeSQL(pCurOperation.Query, pCurOperation.OptionalParameters)
      if Result.errorMsg then
        if Result.errorMsg = 5 then -- database is currently locked
          pPingCount = pPingCount + 1
          if pPingCount = 1 then  -- then inform user there will be a delay.
            pAlertBox.setMessage("Waiting for database response.")
            pAlertBox.setProgress(0)
            pAlertBox.show()
            pTimeOb.period = pPingTime
            exit
          end if
          pAlertBox.setProgress((pPingCount * pPingTime / pTimeoutTime) * 100 ) 
          if pPingCount * pPingTime = pTimeoutTime then -- timed out
            alert("Query Timed out.")
          else
            exit  -- try again in pPingTime time.
          end if
        else  -- there is some sort of database error
          alert("Database Error: " & return & pDB.explainError(Result.errorMsg))
        end if
      else  -- no query errors
        call(pCurOperation.CallbackMethod, pCurOperation.CallbackOb, Result)
      end if
      -- if the code makes it this far then we are done and need to clean things up
      if pTimeOb. objectP then
        pTimeOb.forget()
        pTimeOb = void
      end if
      pAlertBox.hide()
      RunningQuery = false
    end processQuery
    on setTimeOutTime me, MilliSecs
      pTimeoutTime = MilliSecs
    end setTimeOutTime
    on setPingTime me, MilliSecs
      pPingTime  = MilliSecs
    end setPingTime
    You then create an instance of this script on preparemovie.
    -- Movie script
    global gDB
    on prepareMovie
      gDB = script("Asynchronus SQLite").new()
      if gDB.voidP then halt -- can not connect to the database
    end
    on stopMovie
      gDB.cleanup()
    end
    Then it is simply a matter of sending your queries to the gDB object and it will send the results back to the callback handler and object that you specify. Here's a behavior that shows how simple this should be:
    -- Sample DB Behavior
    global gDB
    on mouseUp me
      Query = "select * from users"
      gDB.executeSQL(Query, me, #setQueryResult) -- string, callback object, callback handler name
    end
    on setQueryResult me, Result  -- this is the callback handler/method
      put Result
    end
    I also suggest using a MIAW or a LDM or a set of sprites as a way to inform the user of any delays in processing a query. Check the code for pAlertBox to see how I use this idea to update a progress bar. Of course you will have to create the implementation.

  • Multiple users accessing the same data in a global temp table

    I have a global temp table (GTT) defined with 'on commit preserve rows'. This table is accessed via a web page using ASP.NET. The application was designed so that every one that accessed the web page could only see their data in the GTT.
    We have just realized that the GTT doesn't appear to be empty as new web users use the application. I believe it has something to do with how ASP is connecting to the database. I only see one entry in the V$SESSION view even when multiple users are using the web page. I believe this single V$SESSION entry is causing only one GTT to be available at a time. Each user is inserting into / selecting out of the same GTT and their results are wrong.
    I'm the back end Oracle developer at this place and I'm having difficulty translating this issue to the front end ASP team. When this web page is accessed, I need it to start a new session, not reuse an existing session. I want to keep the same connection, but just start a new session... Now I'm losing it.. Like I said, I'm the back end guy and all this web/connection/pooling front end stuff is magic to me.
    The GTT isn't going to work unless we get new sessions. How do we do this?
    Thanks!

  • What happens when multiple users access the same servlet?

    Do the users share all the same resources? Or is a new process generated for each user? I have a servlet that builds a string to return to the user and I only have myself to test, so I can't really see what happens when many users access the servlet. Is there a possibility that the string will get screwed up, like when dealing with multiple threads, or do all the users get their own resources and I don't have to worry about that?

    huh? if you can point a test servlet at it, you can point a browser at it (even if the servlet does not serve html it will run)
    try pasting the servlet URL into a web browser
    refreshing multiple browsers repeatedly could provide a manual test

  • Multiple users accessing entity bean with same PK

    Hi,
    Some body please clarify the below issue.
    (EJB 1.1, WAS3.5)
    I have two app servers and two clones each clone is running in each app server.
    Stateful session bean access Entity beans to update/read record in the database.
    According to my requirement multiple users can access the same entity data (same primary key). Suppose user A created a Stateful session bean SB1 and the SB1 created Entity1 with PK1, this is happening at clone1.
    User B accessed the site and the request went to Clone2 and a new SB2 created, but the SB2 need to access the database with Same PK1.
    For the above situation, I guess container can not create a new Entity bean with PK1 because EB with PK1 is already there and it tries to allocate same EB1 with SB2, so if two requests are concurrent do the SB2 wait to get the handle of the EB1?
    Is there any way to create two Entity beans with same Primary Key at the same time but in different clone?
    Thanks,

  • Syncing ical creates multiple entries for same event

    I'm sure this is common. I cal sync creates multiple enties for the same event. Any way to work around this?
    Also, duplicate calendars are on the Iphone (2 for inbox)  can one be deleted? 

    I think I know what can help. I also support Mac users in a mixed environment, and find that being able to access a Windows machine to test settings for my iCal users is very very helpful. If you do not have one, I could also fix this one by adding the user's account to my one Mac that runs Entourage.
    On a PC: set up one of the problem accounts in Outlook, then go to Tools->Options & click on the Delegates tab. Click on a Delegate name (if they all have the same permission level, you can select all), then click the Permissions button. If the delegate have "Editor" permissions, there will be a little checked box that sends the delegate copies of all those meetings. De-select it.
    Lemme know if you want Entourage instructions or if that does it for you.
    The real question, of course, is why are there so many Exchange functions that iCal can't touch. Grrrr....

  • Multiple users accessing XML Parser

    We are working through chapter 5 of the book

    We have installed the xmlparsr.jar and xmlplsql.jar then we ran load.sql as the user xmlbook.
    When I log in as xmlbook and go thought the example to insert an xml document and then run CheckXMLInClob it works great.
    However when an other developer goes throught the same example logged in under there userid the get the error

    When they grant select on xml_documents to xmlbook. The procedure works fine.
    My questions are
    1. Why does xmlbook need select on userx.xml_documents when the clob is select into a variable before any call is made to xmldom.parser inside CheckXMLInClob?
    2. Is there a way to share access to the xmlparser routines with out having xmlbook have select to every table?

  • Multiple users on same PC

    Hi:
    (XP, itunes 7.1)
    We have an ipod, a nano & a shuffle all sharing the same PC.
    How can I create separate music folders for each user? They want to access only their music & not the other persons.
    Currently, every time one of them plugs in their device it deletes all their music on their player. Very Frustrating!
    We have the most recent itunes (ver 7 or 7.1 - whatever). OS is XP. I really do not want to set up user accounts so I hope this is not The only way to do this.
    I've already tried holding shift while opening the program.. that does absolutely NOTHING. I've already tried creating more libraries. itunes goes through the motions but in the end.. does Not set up another Library.
    This SO difficult & un-user friendly! I just can't understand why we can't use an instance of IE folder view to drag & drop music from harddrive to ipod.

    When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library
    b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
    c) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): iPod - Syncing Music
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Adding songs to iPod shuffle - Windows
    Multiple Libraries
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:
    Using Windows XP User Accounts

  • Sharing music w/ multiple users on same iMac

    I have four accounts on an iMac and want to provide access to the iTunes library on an external hard drive for each user. Can you tell me how they can use the music without having to make a separate copy of the library.

    Copy the iTunes Music folder to the external drive.
    Leave the folder "iTunes" and the two files "iTunes Music Library.xml" and "iTunes Library" in each users "Music" folder.
    Change the iTunes Music Folder Location to point to the copied "iTunes Music" folder on the external drive, for each user, here:
    iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > General.
    The original "iTunes Music" folder can now be deleted from the computers main hard drive.
    If the external drive is not connected and running when a user starts iTunes, the application will default back to the standard location, ~/Music/iTunes.
    You can also have multiple users share the same music library by moving the folder as above, to the top level (where the System, Library, Applications and Users folders live) of the computers hard drive, if you do not want to use an external HD.

  • Multiple users on same work repository

    We have work repository on a central machine and multiple users are accessing by creating separate logins.As we are accessing the repository remotely we created separate agents for each user and kept the agent running for each user on the central machine.
    Although execution works when only one person is executing,but if some other person executes using his agent,we are getting the following error
    Listener refused the connection with the following error:
    ORA-12519, TNS:no appropriate service handler found
    even though we are working on separate objects.We also tried creating separate users (other then the default SUNOPSIS USER) in the security manager but we are facing the same problem.
    Please let me know if there is a away for multiple users to execute when working on the same work repository.

    Yeah I am also facing the similiar kind of problem please reply..
