New iMac 21.5". How can I set up a new user account with access to all the files of the original user account?
Running Mavericks on a 2013 iMac 21.5". I want to set up a second user account with different settings that meet the requirements of specific software. I need the files to be accessible by both users. I have made both the main and secondary accounts administrators. I have also enabled file sharing for both. Neither account can see the other's files in Finder.
How can I make all files accessible to both accounts? I read that administrator accounts automatically can see all files on the computer, but it is not working out that way. I have restarted the computer, to no avail.
Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:

my daughter and i share the same i tunes account but want to have our own now. how can i set up a new account just for me and still move or transfer my existing apps, contacts etc?
Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.
Content is permanently tied to the account it is purchased with and cannot be merged, moved, or transferred to another account. -
i recently bought a new iphone 5 and gave the old iphone 4 to my mum. every time i take picstures they automatically store on the iphone 4, how can i set up a new icloud for my mum on the iphone 4 but keep everything on my iphone 5?
Your iphone 4 must still be logged into your icloud account. Go to settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete Account. This will remove all your data from the old device but not from icloud or your iphone 5.
To create a new icloud account for your mum, go to

How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network? The actual remote doesn't work anymore, so I've been using the remote app on my phone but now that our internet changed, I can't do anything at all. Please help!
You can't use the remote app to setup a network. If your physical remote isn't working you will need borrow another or purchase a replacement.

How can I set that my "new tab" opens as Google instead of Yahoo as it is set now?
How can I set that my "new tab" opens as Google instead of Yahoo as it is now?
I usually use Ubuntu, and am not aware of HTML5 being the default for Flash videos on Windows.
Is it more likely you have chosen an option on the YouTube website to use HTML5. I think this page offers support and includes an option to toggle HTML5 or FlashPlayer.

How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters icloud address when the new iPad won't let me cause I've made her part of my family group?
If you want to migrate your phone to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

I deleted my Firefox Sync Account. How can I set up a new account on the same device?
Now, when I open Firefox, and go to Tools, there is only the option to "Sync Now," rather than the option to "Set Up Sync." My account is definitely deleted, b/c Sync replies "Unable to locate your account" if I try to sync. How do I set up a new Sync Account on this same device? Thanks.
karenbee,
Here's the solution for PCs: Tools>Options, then click Sync in the Options window. Good luck. -

How can I set up a new account without auto deleting messages on the server?
Ive got accounts on COMCAST.NET (are those imap accounts?) and when I created a user account on Thunderbird for one of them the autocreate process immedaitely started downloading messages from my server before I was able to set the "keep messages on server" flag. (Its been a few months, forgive me if I am not using the exact right option text but you get the idea.)
How can I create a Thunderbird account that will download all the message on my server (comcast.net) and leave them all there?
That's the only thing keeping me from switching to Thunderbird. Please help - comcast's online web client is not the most bug free thing in the world.
(Note, I am setting up a new win7 system, had been using OE 6 on winXP. I assume I am better off trying this than running OE in XP in a virtual window - and even if I moved my old message bases from XP I still need to create an account that won't immediately start downloading/deleting messages from my server before I can configure it not to.)

HT1688 How can I set up my new iPhone to sync with my iPad
I recently lost my iPhone so I went through insurance to get a new one. I know my iPhone wasn't backed up to iCloud in a while but my iPad is still up to date. How can I get my new iPhone to be the same as my iPad?
iDevices do not sync with one another, never have.
All content should be in iTunes on the computer, connect the new iPhone to the computer and either restore it from the most recent backup of the old iPhone or set up as new and sync the desired content to the device. -
I have changed isp and no longer have access to rescue email addresses and have lost my details. I have set up a new apple id and want to set up icloud with this but cant get past the icloud preferences pane with the old address. How do I get around this?
Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen. -
How can i set up a new imap folder on my own domain
I have my own personal domain on my own server and I am wondering if the only way to set up a new folder is via cPanel direct on my server - or can it be done through Mail?
If I can not set up a second Contacts folder, does anybody have an alternative way of having contact information that a person could see the information from an Outlook Format available for viewing?

How can you set up a new graphiccard ?/SOLARIS 8 - intel architecture
Hi...
I`ve installed Sun microsystems SOLARIS 8 on my intel
architecture based system.
The Computer is a Toshiba satellite 2210
with a trident cyber 9525 graphiccard.
During installation i wasn�t sure about the graphiccard
and so i chose the standart 16 colors card.
But now i know the type of the card and would like to
configurated it on this system.
I�ve allready tried it with the admintool but then i realised
that it`s only for changing user, groups etc.
How can i install the graphiccard ???
Is there any tool for this ???
Maybe somthing like SAX from the SuSE Linux ???
THXBtw. it's best running kdmconfig from the text console;
stop "dtlogin" using the "Options -> Command line
login" menu.
You should get a "console login" on the text console.
Login as "root", and run kdmconfig to configure your
new video card. When you're happy with the card,
resolution, color depth, etc... and the card tests
without errors, save the settings in "kdmconfig" and
log off from the text console. After ~10 seconds,
dtlogin restarts automatically using the new settings. -
