Need to make one folder available to 2 users

Hi
I have setup a new user and want to allow both the user accounts on one mac to access the SAME MOVIES folder, without have to swap stuff between the Public folder is this possible?
All help appreciated
Thanks
Sven

If you want both users to have read/write access to the contents of the folder, the best way to do this under Tiger is by setting up Access Control Lists on that folder:
1) Log in as an administrator, and create a folder /Users/Shared/Movies.
2) To enable ACLs in your Mac, open Terminal, paste this command:
sudo fsaclctl -p / -e
3) Paste this command into Terminal:
sudo chmod +a "USERNAME allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
/Users/Shared/Movies
...where USERNAME is your user's short name in lower case. (the backslashes allow you to paste this directly into Terminal without worrying about line breaks.)
4) Repeat step 3, for the other users to whom you wish to give access, using their short user name.
5) Move all of the movies you want to share into /Users/Shared/Movies
Presto, you're done! The ACLs will allow all of the specified users to read and write anything that is added to that folder from this point forward, without having to twiddle with the permissions.
This is what my wife and I do to share an iPhoto library between our two user accounts.
ACLs is one of Tiger's most underrated features, IMO!

I need to access one folder in user library folder from my time machine backup......but it won't show a library folder

I need to access one folder in user library folder from my time machine backup......but the backup disk won't show show a library folder.
Pressing option-go only directs me to the current library folder in my hard drive. I have opened up the saved disk image and need to copy one folder and put it into my current library. Trying to restore using time capsule won't let me into the user library either......
thanks in advance for any help

The Saved Application State folder is where Lion stores all the information required for its resume feature to function as it does. As you are looking for a specific saved game folder it will not be in the Saved Application State folder. This folder was not present in Snow Leopard so wouldn't be present on your backup previous to the Lion install.
The game saves you're looking for will most likely be located in the Application Support or Preferences folder.
Hope this helps

Apple needs to make auto fill available with privacy browsing.

Apple needs to make auto fill available with privacy browsing.

In no particular order...
You're basically asking for what Mac OS X Server provides. With the server version and a suite of tools including Server Admin, you can configure and manage the capabilities of the server, including the web server, DNS and all of the other available services.
Snow Leopard Server is a US$499 purchase, or can be acquired as part of the Mac Mini Server or Xserve packages.
The Apache web server present within Mac OS X client starts within via the sharing control panel, and various folks have posted directions for [manually starting php within the client package|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1462]. The Mac OS X client packaging is "detuned" from what the server version provides.
A Mac Mini Server is more than capable of running dozens of web sites; the typical bottleneck will be the remote network bandwidth needed to serve the sites. The Xserve box is more than you'll need here.
All of the nice GUI stuff aside, you'll (still) want to learn the bash command shell, both for certain advanced configuration tasks and for troubleshooting and maintaining the server, and likely also for establishing your local archival strategy.

How to make saved IR available for all users

Hi,
I've created IR and saved it to several tabs based on search conditions.
But they're only visible for developers.
How to make these tabs available for all end-users ?
Does version 4.0 support this option ?
Thank you!

Hi
At present this feature is not included, although I believe it may be in 4.0. Many people have provided workarounds for this. None of which I have tried. I cannot find the original thread but here is a solution from a chap called Ruud
>
One way to share your saved reports with others is to 'Publish' your report settings to a few intermediate tables in your application and have other users 'Import' your settings from there. The reason for using intermediate tables is so that not all your saved reports need to be 'visible' to other users (only those that you've chosen to publish).
Basically you have available the following views and package calls that any APEX user can access:-
- flows_030100.apex_application_pages (all application pages)
- flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt (all saved reports - inclusing defaults and all user saved reports)
- flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond (the associated conditions/filters for above saved reports)
- wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_rpt (package procedure that creates a new saved report)
- wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_condition (package procedure that creates a condition/filter for above saved report)
The way I've done it is that I've created 2 tables in my application schema that are straightforward clones of the 2 above views.
CREATE TABLE user_report_settings AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt;
CREATE TABLE user_report_conditions AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond;
( NB. I deleted any contents that may have come across to make sure we start with a clean slate. )
These two tables will act as my 'repository'.
To simplify matters I've also created 2 views that look at the same APEX views.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_settings AS
SELECT r.*
p.page_name
FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt r,
flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
AND r.session_id IS NULL
AND p.application_id = r.application_id
AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_conditions AS
SELECT r.*
p.page_name
FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond r,
flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
AND p.application_id = r.application_id
AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
I then built 2 screens:-
1) Publish Report Settings
This shows 2 report regions:-
- Region 1 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, report_id ) " ",
page_name,
report_name
FROM v_report_settings
WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
AND ( page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY page_name,
report_name
Each row has a checkbox to select the required settings to publish.
The region has a button called PUBLISH (with associated process) that when pressed will copy the settings from
V_REPORT_SETTINGS (and V_REPORT_CONDITIONS) into USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
- Region 2 - Shows a list of already published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (again filtered for your user)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 10, s.report_id ) " ",
m.label,
s.report_name
FROM user_report_settings s,
menu m
WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
AND s.application_user = :APP_USER
AND ( s.page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY m.label,
s.report_name
Each row has a checkbox to select a setting that you would like to delete from the repository.
The region has a button called DELETE (with associated process) that when pressed will remove the selected
rows from USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
NB: P27_REPORT is a "Select List With Submit" to filter the required report page first.
Table MENU is my application menu table where I store my menu/pages info.
2) Import Report Settings
This again shows 2 report regions:-
- Region 1 - Shows a list of all published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to show only other users saved reports)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, s.report_id ) " ",
m.label,
s.report_name,
s.application_user
FROM user_report_settings s,
menu m
WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
AND s.application_user :APP_USER
AND ( s.page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY m.label,
s.report_name,
s.application_user
Each row has a checkbox to select the setting(s) that you would like to import from the repository.
The region has one button called IMPORT that when pressed will import the selected settings.
It does this by using the 2 above mentioned package procedure to create a new saved report for you
with the information form the repository. Be careful to match the right column with the right procedure
parameter and to 'reverse' any DECODEs that the view has.
- Region 2 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
SELECT page_name,
report_name
FROM v_report_settings
WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
AND ( page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
ORDER BY page_name,
report_name
This is only needed to give you some feedback as to whether the import succeeded.
A few proviso's:-
a) I'm sure there's a better way to do all this but this works for me :-)
b) This does not work for Computations! I have not found an API call to create computations.
They will simply not come across into the repository.
c) If you import the same settings twice I've made it so that the name is suffixed with (2), (3) etc.
I did not find a way to update existing report settings. You can only create new ones.
d) Make sure you refer to your saved reports by name, not ID, when matching APEX stored reports and the
reports in your repository as the ID numbers may change if you re-import an application or if you
auto-generate your screens/reports (as I do).
Ruud
>
To me this is a bit too much of a hack and I personally wouldn't implement it - it's just an example to show it can be done.
Also if you look here in the help in APEX Home > Adding Application Components > Creating Reports > Editing Interactive Reports
...and go to the last paragraph, you can embed predicates in the URL.
Cheers

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.

How to make Steam library available for all users

Hello!
Can someone tell me - how to make my Steam library available to ALL users of my iMac without sharing a password?
Or any other program of my account?

Hard drive level Users/Sharing - Do a Get Info on the folder (command - I) and set permissions to everyone read/write, then click the gear at the bottom - Apply to Enclosed Items.

I am new to Mac. How do you make an app available to all users so you only have to go through set up once?

I am new to Mac. How do you share an app with all users so you only have to install once?

You only have to install applications once, after which are available to all users on your Mac. But each user account will have its own individual preferences to set and may have some initialization to do the first time the application runs in each account.
Also, most applications that require entry of a license code accept the code once and apply it to all user accounts on your Mac. But there are some exceptions, some applications, that don't seem to do this (or don't do it well) and you may have to enter your license code in each user account the first time you run those applications in each account. For example, iTunes will ask you to accept the license the first time you run it in each user account.

HT1206 I have a computer with 2 users and each of us have I tunes authorized but only one of us can cloud sync our purchases what can I do I need more than one ID available

Help please I need to have more than one Itunes Id

Well you need to understand the behavior of h-reap or what it's called now, FlexConnect. In this mode, the clients are still remembers on the WLC until the session timer/idle timer expires. So switching between SSID's in h-reap will not be the same when switching when the AP's are in local mode.
Take a look at the client when connected in FlexConnect in the WLC GUI monitor tab. Thus will show you what ssid and vlan the client is on. Now switch to a different ssid and compare this. It's probably the same because the client has not timed out. Now go back to the other ssid and look again. Now on the WLC, remove or delete the client and then switch to the other ssid at the same time. Or switch SSID's and then remove the client. The client will join the new ssid and in the monitor tab, you should see the info.
There is no need to have clients have multiple SSID's unless your testing. Devices should only have one ssid profile configured to eliminate any connectivity issues from the device wanting to switch SSID's.

You can add icons to both alerts and dialogs. Your picture looks like a dialog with a caution icon:
display dialog "some text" with icon caution
You can use other icons with a dialog - from Standard Additions:
display dialog
string -- the text to display in the dialog box
[default answer string] -- the default editable text
[hidden answer boolean] -- Should editable text be displayed as bullets? (default is false)
[buttons list of string] -- a list of up to three button names
[default button number | string] -- the name or number of the default button
[cancel button number | string] -- the name or number of the cancel button
[with title string] -- the dialog window title
[with icon number | string] -- the resource name or ID of the icon to display…
[with icon stop / note / caution] -- …or one of these system icons…
[with icon file] -- …or an alias or file reference to a ‘.icns’ file
[giving up after integer] -- number of seconds to wait before automatically dismissing the dialog

What are the settings i need to make MI Server available over the internet?

Hello Everyone,
I want MI Client to synchronize with MI Server through the internet. Can i any body tell me what all settings i need for that?
Thanks in advance.

hi
IF you are working on a corporate network, i guess you have to contact your network pple to do this job.
I don't know the exact procedure but it goes like - configuring a reverse proxy and registering your computer with your domain proxy et all..
Google this book <b>"Internet Security and Firewalls by Sepna Vaid, V V Preetham"</b> it will give you info about networks, firewalls etc.

How do I make a folder available only to a specified group?

I want to put a folder in my Public folder but only allow access to that folder to specific individuals here in my office.
I think that each of those users have to have an account on my machine.
I think I have to use NetInfo Manager to create a new group with those accounts and set the R/W access to that group.
Other postings in this forum talk about duplicating existing groups (e.g. admin) and changing the GID and all kinds of scary technical stuff.
Isn't there a simpler way?

I agree that Netinfo Manager's user interface is pretty miserable for creating new workgroups.
An easier way to do it is to download and install the Server Admin Tools from Apple.
Once you get that installed, look in /Applications/Server for Workgroup Manager. When it asks you to enter the domain, enter localhost, and use your admin username/password for the rest.
On the left side, there will "users" and "groups" buttons. With those it is easy to create a custom group and assign any number of users to it.
When it is done, you are ready to apply the group privilege to the desired folder. Right-click the folder and select Get Info, under Group privilege, apply the new group, and set the permissions accordingly.

You need to, You need to make ios 7 available to iPod touch 4g

Please make it available

You are not addressing Apple here. We are all just users like yourself
As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

HT5760 You need to make the function available to remove yourself from iMessage groups.

It's so annoying you can't remove yourself from iMessage groups, is this something you will ever allow?

WE don't have to do anything.
WE are users.
WE are NOT Apple.

How do I make automator services available to all user accounts?

I wrote an automator script and made it a service (the standard one that shows all hidden files, or un-shows all hidden files) and I'd like to make it a system-wide service so all user accounts on my Mac can use it.
I'd prefer to not log in to each account to set it up as I feel that would waste space (I know, not much is needed) but more importantly if I have to change the script I only have to do it in one place.
How do I do this?
I have other scripts I'd like to make available to all too.
I'm currently running OS X 10.9.5 on a 2008 (not Pro) MacBook core 2 duo.

Thank you, Frank. I'm aware of the packages but didn't realize how it all applied.
I didn't post if it worked for other user accounts because at the time, I didn't know. It was late when I got it working for my primary account and decided to check it later, which I did this morning, and the services did show up for the other accounts. Yea!!
As far as the workflows being "corrupt", I still don't know why, either.
It was odd that when I did Get Info for that file the Preview section actually showed (but of course, very tiny) the Automator script, so clicking (double-clicking? D-C worked this morning) it opened with no errors in Automator. Permissions are still 777 (unix), but I'll change them back to 666.
Hey! 666 removed them from Services! And when I try to open the workflow in Automator it tells me the file is corrupt. Go figure.
The answer to that might be that the /Library/Services directory already existed (because of the MacExplorer app I installed) so it held LaunchMacExplorer.workflow. The permissions on that file are drwxr-xr-x@ 3 padr staff 102 Jan 27 2013 LaunchMacExplorer.workflow .
I always wondered why write was needed for a workflow. Read or execute (unix) should be good enough.
I changed some of the files to 751 to match the MacExplorer workflow and those not only changed the coloring (ls -al) in terminal but they also now show up in Services. Yea!
