Opening File in Another User Account

Greetings:
I am using iWeb to post audio/video to a church's website. The church has their own .Mac account, and used to upload from their own system. After taking over this duty, I got a copy of their domain file, created a new username on my MBP using their .Mac account info, and started uploading from my system. It has been working fine...
I'm wondering if there is a way to do this from my username, without having to create another username, and without having it publish based on my .Mac account info? When I open iWeb on my username, my .Mac info appears at the bottom of the screen. If I drop their domain file in my username folder, will it publish to their site, or will it default to my .Mac account info?...
I hope this makes sense...
Blessings,
Craig

Craig:
Logging into the church account and then syncing will not update your own accounts info. Your best bet is to create another user account on your Mac just for your church account. Copy the domain file from your primary account to the other account and put it in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for that account. When you open iWeb it will open that domain file. You can then delete all but the church's site from the domain file. Log into the church's MMe account you you can publish directly to their iDisk.
To make changing accounts on your Mac easier setup fast user switching in the System/Accounts preference pane:
Click to view full size
To summarize: you account for your web site; the second user account for the church's web site.

  • How do I transfer files to another user account?

    As you can tell from the thread title I'm completely new to all things Mac.  Please forgive my ignorance and this long winded post.
    So I setup my new 27"  iMac, installed Lion 10.7.? and applied all the updates (to 10.7.4).  Then I installed MS Office 2011 for Mac and downloaded all the updates for it. All went well and was refreshingly simple.  I did all of this thinking that I would need Office installed to make the migration from my PC's Outlook files to work properly.  Then i ran the migration assistant and it worked just as advertised.  Little did I know that it was creating another user account and it's folders to put the files into.  I know, read before jumping into things!  Well all of my files are in the new account that the migration assistant created and all appears well in that regard.  The only glitch is the emails all went into the Mac client, but they are there, my accounts are up and running and looks like it did what it's supposed to do.
    What I need to do is copy or move everything on the new user account over to the original account I setup.  What would be the best route to take?  I transferred about 125 gig of data in total.  I'm thinking that a fresh install and starting over is the route to go, but it's my understanding that a clean install isn't real easy on Lion and above.
    I can already tell that when I get everything situated that I'm really gonna be cussing myself for not going to Mac 5 years ago when I started to.  The graphics on this new iMac is amazing!
    So what are my options?  Figure out a clean install?  Or move/copy the folders and nuke the 2nd account?

    You can reinstall Lion by starting up in Disk Recovery mode. Hold command-R during startup. You will need a fast internet connectiona as a re-download of Lion is required.
    Once you have re-installed Lion, you can proceed to migrate your PC data using Setup Assistant.
    Moving and copying your files will require an external drive with permissions ignored (that is the default for OSX).

  • Can not open my ebooks another user account

    For several months I read my purchased e-books (epub) on ADE. Now I have authorized my computer for the first time.
    That worked out well everything. Now I tried an e-book on my computer (Mac) to open it and get the message:
    "The document has been licensed for a different user account"
    How can this be and how can I read the e-book again?
    I've even tried to deauthorize ADE but it had not helped.
    What can I do?

  • Failing to create an email with outlook interop when outlook has been opened by another user account

    Hello
    I have an addin that customizes the excel ribbon. I added a button so that when the user clicks it, a new outlook message windows pops up with some default information on the email body, CCs, etc.
    The problem is that if outlook is already running and it's running under another user account different from the one that was used to open excel (e.g. after opening excel i open outlook with shift + right click and then "Run As..."); i get an exception upon
    instantiating the outlook interop object:
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
    The exception message reads:
    Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)).
    What can i do to prevent this issue from happening?
    Thanks

    In that situation I would test first for an existing Outlook process running and hook into it if it is running. If it's not running then I'd use new to create an Outlook session. There can only be one Outlook session running
    at a time.
    This sort of code will do the trick for you I think:
    System.Diagnostics.Process[] processes = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("OUTLOOK");
    int collCount = processes.Length;
    if (collCount != 0)
    // Outlook already running, hook into the Outlook instance
    outlookApp = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application")
    as Outlook.Application;
    An else there would create a new Outlook.Application object.

  • Aperture 3 - share library with another user account?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to share the aperture library with my wife (another user account on the same computer).
    I started to give her permissions to the file in <My User>/Pictures/Aperture Library. but it kept having permissions issues. So i changed the library to /Users/Shared and gave both of our users full read write permissions... but i keep having the same permissions error.
    I know that we can't both access the lib at the same time but even though, accessing the same library would be a major breakthrough for us.
    What am i doing wrong??
    Please help

    This is what I did, and I did not get permission errors.
    1. Use Aperture 3.02 to create a new aperture library in the Shared Folder. I called it *Aperture Share.aplibrary*.
    2. I added a few pictures just for fun.
    3. Quit Aperture.
    4. Go to the Finder and set File Privileges to Everyone Read/Write on the *Aperture Share.aplibrary* file.
    5. Using Fast User Switching, switch to another user.
    6. Open Aperture 3.02.
    7. Switch to Library... >>Other/New...>>Other Library...>> . Navigate and select the *Aperture Share.aplibrary*.
    That worked for me without permission problems.
    Another question. Are all your pictures stored in an Aperture Library? If you have any pictures that are just referenced in the Aperture Library, this would most likely lead to permission errors.

  • Creating another User Account Issues

    Hello-
       I recently created another user account because of of corruption issues and need to have the same functionality in the new user profile. I transferred all the old user profile data to the new user profile as per instructions posted here:
    Locate the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and Old_Username is the name of the profile
    you want to copy files from.
    Select all of the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:
    Ntuser.dat
    Ntuser.dat.log
    Ntuser.ini
    Click the Edit menu, and then click Copy.
    If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt.
    Locate the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and New_Username is the name of the new
    user profile you created.
    Click the Edit menu, and then click Paste.
    If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt.
    Log off, and then log back on as the new user.
       After doing this I have noticed some programs not launching the same with missing info. For example TeamSpeak3 launches but opens as a new user with none of my saved bookmark profiles even though they are listed in the directory file. To me
    it has to be a permissions thing or User data transfer issue, because I have the user data in the old user app data file but none in the new user app data.
       I am the only user of this computer so there is no user issues with other people and would like full functionality. Thanks in advance.

    @ Kate Li thanks for responding and  yes I did follow the instructions in the folder options to unhide and show all the files I didn't copy>paste that portion just to save room on the post. The link is the same as the one I used:
    Click the View tab, and then click Show
    hidden files, folders, and drives.
    Clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, click Yes to
    confirm, and then click OK.
    One mistake I did make was to copy>paste the shortcuts when I know now to just create them from the program directory (send to desktop) context. 
    Would you happen to have a link explaining how to go about transferring or importing registry files?

  • File transfer between user accounts

    How can I transfer garage band files (projects) from one user account to another, on the same macbook?

    3963
    Welcome to Discussions!
    In addition to Eric's excellent solution:
    - So that they are visible and usable only to the one other user, you just have to drag and drop them to his
    /Users/otheruser/Public/Drop Box
    (message prompt: "you won't be able to see the result": yes, that's because it's the other user who will see it. No problem)
    - Another kind of solution comes to mind:
    In order to often and regularly work on the same files, it is sometimes a good idea to create yet another user account, named "Team" or "Crew" or something, where you start all projects that are meant to be seen by many.
    Enjoy your Mac!

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

  • How can I get Win 10 to open to my prefered user account?

    How can I get Win 10 to open to my prefered user account?  It insists on going to my Administrative account.

    Hi,
    We could click the Back button beside the account Picture, then the screen would list the account available on this PC:
    After that, we could choose the account we want to use.
    Another way is to enable this policy:
    Interactive logon: Do not display last user name
    If this policy is enabled, the full name of the last user to successfully log on is not displayed on the Secure Desktop, nor is the user’s logon tile displayed;
    If this policy is disabled, the full name of the last user to log on is displayed, and the user’s logon tile is displayed.
    Press Win +X, then open the Run box, type Gpedit.msc,  when opening the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to the following path:
    Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
    On the right pane, find the above policy and then enable it.
    More information about that policy, please see:

  • Can't see dmd file from another user

    I just installed SDDM v3.1 and tried to open a dmd file from another user (I have used it to create my own model, saved it and can open it later). The log says "Open Design: 'filename'", then "Open Design: OK". But I don't see anything in the Logical (Logical Model) window. If I try to Import the same file, I get an error message that says look at the log file for details. Except that the log file has no entries in it. Is there an issue with what version the other file was saved under or some other format? Thanks for any help on this.

    Hi,
    There is now a forum specifically for Data Modeler topics: SQL Developer Data Modeler
    I assume that you are using the latest version (3.1.3.709).
    Provided the model includes some Entities, they should show up in the Logical Model window.
    The log file is normally in file datamodeler.log in folder datamodeler\datamodeler\log (unless some other location has been set in the Environment/Log page of the Preferences (accessed from the Tools menu).
    The log should at least contain a line like
    2012-10-19 11:03:18,457 [main] INFO ApplicationView - Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.3
    for each time you start a Data Modeler session.
    It is possible that the log is in a read-only location, and so Data Modeler cannot write to it.
    In this case I would recommend that you update the Preferences to use a writable location.

  • I only have one iTunes account.  The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer.  How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

    I only have one iTunes account.  The other day I made the mistake of downloading purchased songs and movies logged on another user account (Administrator) on the same computer.  How do I consolidate all my purchases in my preferred user account?

    copy the songs that you downloaded as admin and put it somewhere you can access it from you're preferred account (usb stick / cd / shared folder / external hard drive) log into with you preferred user account and drag and drop the files on top of the itunes icon and they will be imported.
    if you have a second computer you could use home sharing to move the music from admin itunes to the second computer and from the second computer to the preferred itununes
    ps you can only connect 5 computers to you're itunes account so don't forget to de-autorise when you no-longer wand it.

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.
