Photoshop prefs, colorsync monior profiles and multiple users.

How can I make custom application preferences and color settings available to all users when my computer labs are set up on a domain environment and students log in as individual users. Right now Photoshop CS 3 prefs and monitor calibration profiles that were set at the admin level are not accessible to all users. When a user logs on to his or her account/environment none of the prefs (such as Photoshop color settings and prefs) show up in that user account. How can a make such custom settings the default for all users.
Thanks.

By default, Photoshop CS3 places any calibration files into the active user account. You just need to copy it to a location where everyone can see it.
Login to the user account that has the color settings and preference files you need. Then go to the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/ folder. Copy the settings file to a location where all users can access it. Each user can then navigate to that location to load the settings file from within Photoshop.
If you want all users to have the exact same menu, keyboard and palette layouts, open Photoshop and set up everything to your preferences. Then choose Window > Workspace > Save Workspace. Give it a name and make sure all three check boxes are on. The file is saved in the ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings/WorkSpaces/ folder. This file cannot be accessed globally. It needs to copied into the same folder location of each user account. Once there, it can be loaded within Photoshop.

Sharing custom display profiles between multiple users

Hello,
I'm brand new to Mountain Lion and I can't figure out how to share a custom display profile between multiple users on the same MBP. I'm a photographer and I have two users set up on my laptop - one personal and one for shooting. I'm using a Color Munki to calibrate my external monitor and the software creates a profile.
Previously, I could go into my library, copy the profile and drag it into the colorsync folder for my other user, then switch to my other user and find that profile in system preferences/displays.
I have no idea how to do this in Mountain Lion.

Let me simplify this by refering to User A and User B to represent the two separate users I've created on my MBP.
I've done some more digging and here's what I've found: In the Color Sync utility for User A my custom profile is in a user folder, represented by the name I gave the file when the profile was created. That's no problem
When I switch to the User B, there are two profiles in the Color Sync Utility named "Display". The "Display" file was created at the same time my custom profile was created, however, the file names don't match and I don't know why there are two of them.
I'm fairly certain that "Display" profile is the custom profile I want to use, but there's a problem coming down the road: what's going to happen when I profile my monitor again in 3 weeks.

Changing the display profile for multiple users at once.

Is it possible to change the display profile for multiple users at once? We would like ot be able ot add tabs and channels globally, but right now we can anly do it for once user at a time. Also, is it possible to have certain generic display profiles that all users use? like an admin profile and a tech support profile and a normal suer profile? Any help is appreciated...

Yes this possible using the dpadmin batch command.
Please check the dpadmin documentation for the batch command.
For generic display profile what you can do is create users and assign the user particular roles. The display you would be creating would be for the roles. The users belonging to that role would inherit that display profile.

Hello, I have iMac Itel i3, from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users.
About 3-4 days ago the Mail icon in dock had question mark and was accidently removed, along with program on my user. Oops.
1. Mail 4.4 is on other users and works fine, but for me it does not work and tells me V4.3 does not work with latest OS X.
2. I reloaded software from my user with original disks (Oct, 2010) and got Mail 4.3 again. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS. I am unable to load Mail. Gives Yellow error message.
" You have Mail version 4.3 (1081/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 (Build 10J869). For more information, click the Help button."
3. Tried to update software and look for update for mail 4.3 on Apple site to no success.
Hate to go to MS-Entorage ( I may need to learn something new and alien) mail program since contracts are in Mail/Address Book.
Ideas?

Matt,
I would download and run the 10.6.7 combo update.

DBMS_FGA.add_policy .. How to handle multiple tables and multiple users

Dear All,
My database is 11gR1 and Linux is the platform.
I have more then 50 very important tables and around 15 database users.
I want to implement fine grained auditing on these important tables.
This is how I am going to implement it:
SQL>BEGIN
DBMS_FGA.add_policy(
object_schema     =>     'Scott',
object_name     =>     'SAL',
policy_name     =>     'SALARY_CHK_AUDIT',
audit_condition     =>     NULL,
handler_schema     =>     'imran',
statement_types     =>     'SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE',
audit_column     =>     NULL);
END;
what is i have to pass multiple tables in object_schema and multiple users in handler_schema.
I hope i am able to clear my question, any doubts please let me know.
Regards, Imran

Hi,
object_schema - The schema of the object to be audited. (If NULL, the current log-on user schema is assumed.)
in case if you like to audit for multiple users - then try to test by holding a null value and test access the important tables -where the relevant auditing records are generated as per your requirement or not. i have not tested.. try it

IPhoto 08, Leopard and multiple users

I just installed Leopard. Under Tiger, I have tried unsuccesfully to share my IPhoto library with other users on my computer. In particular, I tried article 304890: "iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users". Has anything changed with Leopard ?
Thank you so much.

Many people using the Shared Folder find that they have permissions issues which mean that they 'other' user can't see some part of the Library. Therefore, if you want to share the Library in that way it's best moved to an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and set to ignore ownership and permissions.
can both users add photos from their iPhones via iPhoto on their respective accounts and have the new photos show up on the other users iPhoto app?
Yes.
would the newly added photos sharing be automaticall be set to the folder sharing settings? ie, view and edit for both users?
Yes.
if i edit the photos with say photoshop, will the changes show up in iphoto?
If you set this up corrrectly - You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
You will need to do this in both accounts.
would timemachine back the data up automatically?
TM can be set to back up externals. There are other options too, of course.
when I upgrade to a new computer will everything work the same.
Yes. Just plug in the extenal and point iPhoto at the external from the new machine.

OCFO account settings and multiple users

Hi,
Does anyone know a solution for the following problem.
I'm creating an unattended installation for Office 2003 including Outlook 2003.
Also a silent installation of OCFO is done. During this silent installation of OCFO an Outlook profile is created
with all the appropriate settings for our environment.
This all works fine except when another users logs on to the machine. As far as I know their is no way to automatically create a new OCFO account in Outlook when OCFO is already installed on a machine.
So, in fact, my question is:
Does anyone know a way to unattendedly create an OCFO profile/account in Outlook on a machine which has OCFO itself already installed?
Thanks in advance,

It sounds like you are looking for a .PRF file.
The file contains similar information as the ctoc.ini file. Our setup we have pc's with no admin rights with multiple users sharing them.
The connector is installed generically thru a MSI package due to the no admin rights. We then add Outlook policies and other customization thru the login. And lastly we call the prf file that is made on the fly by querying our ldap server for info such as e-mail address and full name. The PRF is not standard because it has custom Oracle settings located at the bottom for the connector.
If this looks like it is what your looking for send me an e-mail and I will send you the PRF file.

Problem with iTunes and multiple user accounts in Windows

I am running iTunes on a PC (Windows XP) and have multiple user accounts. When I switch between user accounts and try to open iTunes, I get a message that tells me I can't open the program because another user is using it. Is it really true that I can only have iTunes open in one user account at a time on a PC with multiple user accounts ?!? If not, what am I doing wrong?

You are right, can only have one open. You have to log out of a user before logging in to another user to use iTunes. Do not use the fast user switching ability of Windows.

Help with icloud and multiple users in iTunes

Our family music is under my iTunes/apple id. My mother, husband and I all synch to iTunes on one computer. Can we set up multiple icloud accounts for synching our contacts separately?

Yes, that's the usual advice - everyone use the one itunes account and each user has his/her own icloud account.

How to alter the default profile for multiple users

I am trying to alter the default profile assigned to users during user creation to a new profile. I know to change the profile for one user using the syntax
alter user abc profile profileabc
The issue I have is that there are 100's of users under default profile and changing for each of them manually would be difficult. The approach that I see is to write a shell script where I connect to the db and get a list of all the users with default profile. Then I loop through the file making connection to the db each time and executing the alter statement.
Please help if you think that there can be a more efficient approach to this.
Thanks

Problems with 1 icloud account and multiple users.

We have multiple users all on 1 icloud so we can share apps but also see what people have installed and because IT control the password its upto us what apps get installed. So in that sense this was a good idea. The problem we are having is that the iphone users photos, messages and other things are becoming available on other iphones on this 1 icloud account. So for example one user went on her photos to discover someone elses photos was in their and then also had messages from a contact who only her manager has (also one of the icloud users)
Is there any settings we could change to keep the 1 icloud acount but make it so peoples photos and messages dont sync.

Yes, you can turn off photos in icloud. (settings - icloud- photos)
You can also allow users to use their own apple id's for imessages and facetime. Unlike icloud those can be changed any time, so that does not present security problem. Settings -messages and settings- facetime.
If you dead set on using same apple id, you can make sure that every user only has their phone number checked in messages, so everyone has to go to settings- messages- send and receive and uncheck apple id.

Home Sharing and multiple Users

We have one Mac with one user (me) and another Mac with two other users. If we have Home Sharing turned on for all three users, should each user be able to see the other two iTunes libraries, or will only the currently logged in user on the 2-user computer be available? Example: If User 1 is logged in, can they get User 2's library, and can I get both User 1's and User 2's libraries from the other computer?
And does iTunes have to be launched on a given computer for its library to show up on another computer, or will my iTunes find the library where it resides on the other computer even if their iTunes is not on?

It is not really practical for multiple users on different PCs to use the same library database. This is because the iTunes database is not multiuser, the can however share the same content files.
So each PC will need it's own library database (iTunes Library.itl) which in this case is best located on the users own PC.
Utilities such as Tune ranger can keep libraries in sync:

For backup, some people find synctoy a free utility from Microsoft works for them.

IPhoto and multiple users - how to best manage photos across multiple users

I'm trying to fiure out the best way to setup photo storage on my new iMac. I've been a mac user for many years but never used iPhoto, just managed the photos in the finder and dated the folder/events. I use Photoshop and other image editing apps from time to time too.
My biggest difficulty I'm running into is both my wife an I take a lot of pictures on our phones. We'd like to be able to access them equally but since we are set up as two diffenent users, I don't know the best way to download and access them.
Can anyone advise me if this is a good setup, or would ven work?
Move managed library to shared folder on mac so two users can access library?
will that cause problems?
can both users add photos from their iPhones via iPhoto on their respective accounts and have the new photos show up on the other users iPhoto app?
would the newly added photos sharing be automaticall be set to the folder sharing settings? ie, view and edit for both users?
This brings up other questions:
if i edit the photos with say photoshop, will the changes show up in iphoto?
would timemachine back the data up automatically?
when I upgrade to a new computer will everything work the same.
I'm sure I've missed something important so any advice would be great.
Thanks!

ISE 1.3 Why are Windows endpoints defaulting to 802.1x machine authentication in wireless profile and not User or User&Computer

We are running ISE 1.3 tied to AD with WLC 7.6.130.0. Our ISE has a GoDaddy (none wildcard) certificate loaded for https and EAP. We are just running PEAP. We have a mix of IOS, Android, and Windows 7/8 devices. IOS and Android devices can self create a wireless profile and after entering credentials can connect without issue. Our Windows 7/8 devices, when auto creating a wireless profile are selecting 802.1x machine authentication instead of User authentication or the best option which is machine or user authentication. This is problematic as we do allow for machine authentication but have an authorization rule limiting machine auth to domain controller and ISE connectivity only. This is to allow domain Windows 7/8 devices to have domain connectivity prior to user sign-in but force user auth to get true network connectivity. The problem is why are the Windows devices not auto setting to user authentication (as I think they did when we ran ISE1.2), or the best option which is to allow both types of authentication? I have limited authentication protocols to just EAP CHAP and moved the machine auth profile to the bottom of the list. Neither have helped. I also notice that the Windows 7/8 endpoints have to say allow connectivity several times even though we are using a global and should be trusted certificate authority (probably a separate issue).
Thank you for any help or ideas,

When connecting a windows device to the ISE enabled SSID when there is not a saved wireless profile on that machine, it will connect and auto create the profile. In that profile, 802.1x computer authentication option is chosen by windows. That has to be changed to computer or user for the machine to function correctly on the network.
On 1.2, this behavior was different. The Windows device would auto select user authentication by default. At other customer sites, windows devices auto select user authentication. This of course needs to be changed to user or computer in order to support machine auth, but at least the default behavior of user authentication would allow machines to get on the network and functional easily to begin with.

Final Cut Pro X and multiple users

Any ideas about how Apple will handle multiple users for FCP X, when it is downloaded from the App Store?

The new app is scheduled for release in June, 2011. Until it hits, all we know about FCPX is what we've been told by Apple. And you already know or can easily look up the exact same information.

Anything anyone else is claiming to know is either groundless speculation or direct violation of the their NDA with the beta of FCPX and the information will quickly be purged from the forums.
