Preference Panes - Install for all users, after the fact?

Is there any way to get an already installed Pref Pane to install for all other users once it has been installed for the main account? I am hoping for a way that doesn't require uninstalling the current Pref Pane and reinstalling, some have settings I don;t wan't to lose for the main account.

Thanks for the reply.
The app (Bamboo Dock) has installed in the root applications folder. When I'm logged in as the administrator I can see the proper icon in the apps folder and run it. however, when I log on as my son I can see the app but the icon is the default icon with the A and the pencil on and the app won't run.
I didn't have a choice where to install and the app did not ask me if I wanted to install for all users.
I was wondering if I could run the installer app from the terminal with sudo, then I would be giving the installer app the authority to write the receipt? I don't know if this would work or how to do it if it would.

You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation

Hi all
Have seen a couple threads regarding this but unfortunately nothing that solves my problem thus far!
Right now, our developers are using the Domain Admin account to promote their website code using MSI files. I'd like to change this as I feel the Domain Admin account should be on lock down and only used when absolutely necessary, pretty common. The
same goes for my account too, I would like to absolve as much use of the Domain Admin as I can.
Problem is, when they run installers from their own accounts, they receive this error: You do not have sufficient privileges
to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation
The accounts they are using are part of the Built In Administrators group and the Domain Admins group... I'm not sure what other permission you'd need in a domain? We've gone as far as explicitly giving them local admin access on this server and still
nothing changes.
Is there a Group Policy or something that I can change to provide install rights and possibly remove these accounts as Domain Admin and more along the line of Power User?
Thanks much for your help!

Hi,
You could use Software Restriction Policies (SRP’s) or Applocker(supported on Windows server 2008 R2/Windows 7 only) to restrict the running
of the application for specific user.

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users Hi, I would like to set some settings in Analyzer as default for all users. For example: 1. Display | Char 2. right mouse click on char | Chart Properties 3. Axes tab 4. "Format: Currency" i would like to change to "Format: Number". How to set default values to all users? Is this possible? Thanks, Grofaty

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work. As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.

Install for all users

Hope this is the correct forum for this question...
I have just purchased a Bamboo tablet and installed the accompanying software on my iMac as an Administrator.
I can use the installed application no problem. However, my Son, who has a standard account, cannot access the installed app. I tried reinstalling it while signed on as him but then the install failed because it could not write a receipt.
Any ideas how I can get this app to install correctly? Can I install it from terminal using sudo while logged in as my son?
Thanks,
Stuart

HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

Creating an shortcut for all users on the desktop

I want to create a shortcut for all users on the desktop that will appear for all users that login to the computer. How is this done in Windows 7? In Widows XP this was done at the "All Users" profile, but I cannot find such a profile in Windows 7.

the users have windows vista , 7 or 8 have a chortcut i created and the users have windows xp isn't created on them desktop
Do you have a question? If so then your best bet is to create a new post (this one is 5 years old and marked as "answered"!) and spell it out there.

How to set a common page for all users after loging on?

hi all,
Now "My Dashboard" is the default page after logon.
i want to set a default home page for all users. users can see the home page after loging on.
how to change the default dashboard from "My Dashboard" to "Home page" for all users?
thanks,
dan

Hi,
Steps:
Tried to set default dashboard for all the users.
1. Created a session init block
2. Used data source as select '/shared/SH Test/_portal/Test1' from dual
3. Assigned this value to PORTALPATH session variable
4. In Presentation services > Administration > My account > Default dashboard should be set to 'default'. Then only the dashboard specified in init block will be displayed otherwise My account will override the init block.
5. Save the changes made to rpd.
5. Logout and relogin to see if it is working fine. it is working perfectly fine.
For details please refer the GSC replication document. But it is for all the users.
if customer would like to have user/group based home page.
1. They may need to have 2 separate tables.
i. Group_path_tab with 2 columns. Group_id, portal_path
Have group wise portal path for all the groups
ii. User-group map table
Group_id, Group_name, user_id
User should be part of some group.
2. Then in the init block write the sql should be something like this
select A.portal_path from Group_path_tab A, User_group_map B
where B.user_id = :USER
and B.Group_id = A.Group_id
SO based on USER session variable, it will try to identify the group and then the portal_path.
Finally assign this value to PORTALPATH session variable.

Single Webstart install for all users on a PC?

Is it possible to do a single install of a Web Start application for all users on a Windows PC? Currently, it appears that each user would have to do the installation.

I have the same requirement as mikemil. I have read the documentation as dietz333 suggested!
What have I done:
- created all the required server side stuff for JNLP
- created the client side properties.config file referencing the server side system deplyoment.properties via a url
- this server side deployment.properties contains the property:
deployment.system.cachedir=c:\\temp\\ws-system-cache
With that I can do on a client:
javaws -system <my-jnlp-url>
All works as expected. Everything gets downloaded and cached in the specified c:\temp\ws-system-cache!
When I try to "start" <my-jnlp-url> from a browser (ie) it will be stored within the user cache! So, I have to change file association for the JNLPFile type to contain the "-system" option. With that it also works with links in the browser.
My questions/comments:
- this requires "some" administrative effort on the client side. Is there a less administrative solution?
- since there is only a "system" specific location for the deployment.config all Java WS applications ever started will go into this system cache. Wright?

One Library for all users on the system - Sharing?

Hello.
I'm using iTunes 9.0.3 on OS X 10.6.2. On this system, there are TWO users, one for my wife, one for me. I'd like to "merge" the seperate iTunes libraries, so that there's only one shared library for all users.
How could this be achieved?
Searching the web, I found a writeup on [dougscripts.com by Paul Whitey|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/sharedlib.php], which basically explains to move ~/Music/iTunes to /Users/Shared/iTunes and making sure that there's an alias in ~/Music pointing to /Users/Shared/iTunes. It also explains, that the ownership of the files & folders is to be changed so, that all users have read & write access. This then looks like this on my system:
!http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6223/fileinfowithbothusersha.png!
-> http://yfrog.com/5yfileinfowithbothusershap
It works good - both "alex" and "sandra" can work with these files (ie. move them, rename them, change ID3 tags).
But see those:
!http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/2183/fileinfowithonlyalexhav.png! !http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/7807/fileinfowithonlysandra4.png!
--> http://yfrog.com/jufileinfowithonlyalexhavp & http://yfrog.com/j2fileinfowithonlysandra4p
That's from files which sandra or alex have added later on. Only the one who added these files can modify them (which is of course correct, if you have a look at the file permissions).
How would you go about having only ONE iTunes database on the system? Simply putting the iTunes Db on a shared folder doesn't work well, as can be seen above. Always having to fiddle around with the file permissions isn't exactly comfortable…
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Alex

Hm. PowerTunes crashs, when I make it Share my library. I pasted the crash report at http://pbox.ca/13gwy
Since I cannot know how/if would work (because of the crash…), please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it also just move the files to /Users/Shared and set permissions correctly? Wouldn't I need to keep on running PowerTunes from time to time, or is it "run once and forget" application (if it works)?

Move the Cache files for all user in the domain, which work with the PC

Is there a possibility to chance the Cache file for all User.
If i logon with a new user the Cache is written automatically in Proflie of the user.
can configure to Java in such a way that with announce a user the Cache file get automatically moved to c:\temp.
Thanks for your help

oh, too bad, it is part of the requirement-we need to do it automatically through web.
Any easier method to change the client machine deployment.properties through web?
Need to deploy the application to thousands PC and the PC configuration may be different one by one.

Firefox won't install for all users in Windows 8.1; only installs for administrator

Since moving to Windows 8.1, I have been unable to install Firefox for multiple users on this laptop. Firefox installs only for the Administrator (me), and does not appear on any other user account. When I try installing from one of the other user accounts (after entering my administrator password), it simply won't install.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

PowerPoint add-in is not working when installed for All Users using msi installer.

Hi All,
I have created PowerPoint add-in using c#-vsto. I have created msi installer to install this add-in with following two options:
1. Just me
2. Everyone
However, add-in is not working properly (Events and custom task panes are not working).
I have created registry key as below
1. for "Everyone" : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
2. for Just me : HKPU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
But when I set InstallAllUsersVisible property to False (When add-in is installed only for current user ), then add-in works fine for current user.
Please let me know if anything is missing!!!
Thanks

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, the issue is more related to develop the add-in, you'd better post your question to the MSDN forum for VSTO
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=vsto&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

For all users of the newest MBPs - freezing problem

I spent the whole last week trying to detect the problem of the freezing OS (every N minutes, a freeze for 20-30 sec).
If you're experiencing the same issue, don't waste your time uninstalling 'suspicious' software like I did… this helps. Really:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=8414998&posted=1#post8414998
Downgrading the EFI 1.7 (preinstalled or installed with Software Update) to EFI 1.6 solves the problem. No more freezing. The update procedure seemed a bit risky to me but well, it worked (you can use an USB stick, I used my external USB hard drive)
My tech specs: MacBookPro5,4, 2,53 GHz, 4GB RAM, HDD - Hitachi HTS545025B9SA02, OS 10.6.1
One more thing: in case of other strange problems, try uninstalling Logitech mouse drivers if you've got those. That one solved my coreservicesd crashing problems. I'm waiting for the incoming update of Logitech.

yes, I did. I spent at least 8 hours searching for a solution here, in the forums and tried everything making sense... The EFI downgrade was the only thing that helped.
My personal opinion is: Apple should offer the EFI downgrade option to all users in an official way. It looks like my favorite vendor does not want to admit they made a hardware+software mistake (the EFI 1.7 update solves some HDD issues on some new MBPs but causes other problems on other MBPs).

Are installed apps installed for all users? ...

Moving to a new Mac Mini from Windows 7, kind of an OS X noob here. ;-)
I created several accounts for all 5 of us in the family. Logged in as myself I installed Google Chrome, accepting the defaults. I see it in my account, but not in the others.
Is that normal behavior? Do I have to install it separately foer each user account? What's the best way to handle this?
Thanks very much in advance,
Chris

If you install the application in the Applications folder at the top level directory of your hard drive it will be available to all users. If a user installs it in the Applications folder inside their user directory it will be available to onlly that user.
