Providing Guest Access to certain folders of images

I want to create a guest account on my mac. Is it possible to make only certain albums or folders of images available to users on the guest account?
Thanks.

If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane. In the Sharing Pane you can select to share the entire library or only specific parts of it.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

File Sharing with user on MacBook Pro, restrict access to certain folders

I work on my iMac mostly and have 3 external drives hooked into the iMac. I have file sharing turned on because I want to be able to access these external drives on my macbook pro. I can get into all my drives as planned. However, I have a user on the macbook where I want to restrict them from seeing certain folders on those external drives.
For instance, I have budget documents in a folder on one of those drives along with family photos in another folder. I want this user to be able to access the folder of fam photos but not access the folder of my budget docs. How do I do this?
I tried "get info" on that specific folder and selected the "write only (drop box)" option and that doesn't work, that user can still open and see all the budget docs. I believe I've even tried removing them from that folder on the "get info" box. Either way, that folder is still accessible for all.
Please help!!!!!!!

Response appreciated but the easiest way to handle the problem, is being able to restrict 2 or 3 folders which is what I can't figure out how to do. Maybe there is no way to do this. I have spent a good deal of time organizing the folders in the first place, and with some of these things being related to my business, it would be more of a headache and major issue, to reorganize these folders. Things are very well organized, I just don't want certain users to have access to a couple of the folders as those certain folders have income related and budget related information.
So my issue is really, not about re-organizing or any of that, but merely, how to I set a folder to where a certain user doesn't have access to that certain folder.
You wouldn't think that would be too difficult, but then again, maybe it is just something that can't be done. I would think it'd be as easy as opening the "get info" on that certain folder, selecting that user and setting it to say "no access" - however, that is not an option in the drop down and I don't know why. It offers, read & write, read only, write only (drop box). Even when I select write only, it still allows that user to see all my files in that folder and access them. So I'm just not sure why "no access" is not listed there as an option.
Thanks.

How to provide View access for all the projects to an employee?

We’ve a requirement to provide view access to certain employees to all the projects. They are supposed to have only view access to the project information (HTML Interface). We don’t want to assign these employees to the projects.
In this regard we created a menu that gives users only view access to project information. We assigned the employee/user the profile option “PA: Cross Project User View” and set the value to “Yes”. However the user is only able to view Project Overview information. The moment I assign the user to a project (non scheduled member), the user is able to view all project information.
We’ve tried bouncing the apache post assignment of the profile option to the user, but no luck. Is there something else required to be done? Why is the profile option not working? Please advice.
Note: We don’t want to give the user Project Authority as it by default gives the user rights to modify information in the project.
Any other suggestions to achieve the said functionality is most welcome.

I don't have permission to access certain folders in my external hard drive?

Every year at my college, we get our laptops re-imaged and completely wiped of all their data for new programs, etc. Prior doing this, I backed up all my files onto a WD external hard drive. This is not the first time I've gotten my macbook wiped or used the hard drive, so I am not sure why I'm experiencing problems this time around. In the hard drive I am able to access the Applications folder, but all the rest of the folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc. which is located in the Users folder under my previous user acc, have a tiny no entry symbol on the bottom right corner. When I click on the folder it tells me "The folder "blahbalh" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."
The only security the drive has on it is an initial prompt for a password that I enter once the hard drive is plugged into my mac. There are no problems there. So why don't I have permission to view certain folders?
Any help would be appreciated. I have all my work on there. Thanks.

First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use this procedure only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select Apply to Enclosed Items from the popup menu.
Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.

Can't get access in Time Machine to certain folders for any date earlier than current date/time.

Can't get access in Time Machine to certain folders for any date earlier than current date/time, even when entering as Admin. Why do certain folders have small red "-" badge in lower right corner of folder icon? Here's a picture of the dilemma:
I've tried monkeying with priveleges using Command I, and changing users, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

Right. Here's what the permissions look like from the Finder Command I:
I'm not sure what "Custom" means, but when I then try to change it to "Read & Write", it doesn't take.... just comes back as Custom. Interesting to note that not only am I logged into Joan's account where the data folder and file lives) to do this, but when I do it from my own account as Admin (dunc...mpster) I get the same result.

Hi Daniel ,
Wonderful observation and great question .
Yes, we dont find any recommendation or inputs in Cisco Docs on scenarios where we have multiple foriegn WLC's present .When we go through the Cisco Doc available for Wired Guest Access
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00808ed026.shtml
Two separate solutions are available to the customers:
A single WLAN controller (VLAN Translation mode) - the access switch trunks the wired guest traffic in the guest VLAN to the WLAN controller that provides the wired guest access solution. This controller carries out the VLAN translation from the ingress wired guest VLAN to the egress VLAN.
Two WLAN controllers (Auto Anchor mode) - the access switch trunks the wired guest traffic to a local WLAN controller (the controller nearest to the access switch). This local WLAN controller anchors the client onto a DMZ Anchor WLAN controller that is configured for wired and wireless guest access. After a successful handoff of the client to the DMZ anchor controller, the DHCP IP address assignment, authentication of the client, etc. are handled in the DMZ WLC. After it completes the authentication, the client is allowed to send/receive traffic.
So as per Cisco best pratices using multiple foreign controllers for the same wired guest VLAN is not supported and the results will be unpredictable
I do understand the confusion regarding such scenario's as this( Multiple foriegn WLC's) is a very general setup which customer would like to deploy .
We have already opened a bug for the same (Little late though )
BUG ID :CSCtw44999
The WLC Config Guide should clarify our support for redundancy options for wired guest
Symptom:
Do not trunk a wired guest VLAN to multiple foreign controllers. This is not supported, and will
generate unpredictable results.
Some of the other tthat changes we will be making as a part of doc correction would be
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.0MR1/configuration/guide/cg_user_accts.html#wp1066125
1. The WiSM2 needs to be added as a supported controller. (Not sure about the 7500, check with PM)
2. Where it says "Do not attempt to trunk a guest VLAN on the Catalyst 3750G ...", this should read:
"Do not trunk a wired guest VLAN to multiple foreign controllers. This is not supported, and will
generate unpredictable results."
3. Add at least a line mentioning support for multiple anchors for a guest wired LAN.
Now if you already have such deployments , ther criteria would be that nearest WLC on the broadcast domain (Layer 2) would respond to the client associtation request .

Setup Guest access to WLAN

I have 8 Cisco 1230AP's providing access to my LAN for laptop users. The encryption is via WPA. I now need to setup unencrypted access to the internet for guests/visitors - keeping them away from my LAN and internal network. How can I do this? Do I just setup a 2nd SSID and allow access to be wide open or do I need to implement some type of VLAN? My switch is unmanaged and it is not a Cisco brand. Thanks for your help...

I saw your other post and you can ignore that, since you have an unmanaged switch. No matter what you do, all traffic will be dumped out the ap to you lan. This is due to the fact that you can't create a trunk between the ap and the switch which will allow you to have multiple vlans. If you only need guest access in a certain location, you can just add an access point and set that up to go out to a dsl or broadband connection.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

I can't change print sizes in certain folders!

This is a maddening problem!
I have an HP 8750, which I have no problems with.
I just got a Kodak 5100 printer. The problem is that in certain folders, if I try to change the print size of an image, say Letter to Borderless 4x6, it doesn't stick! In the upper left region, it'll show the new size I selected, but the margins, cell size, image size, etc., don't change.
This only happens in certain folders within the Library! If I move an image from a folder that has the problem into another folder that's working properly, I can resize the images in that folder. If I move it back to the "bad" folder, it won't work again. Likewise, taking an image from a good folder to a bad one makes it so I can't change the size.
This only happens with the 5100 printer. If I switch to the HP, I can set the paper size just fine, even in a "bad" folder. If I switch back to the 5100, it goes back to the size I set before.
It also only happens in Lightroom. If I export the image into Photoshop, it works fine.
I'm thinking this is a bug.

Here's a random sampling of folder names that work and don't work:
works:
E:\Digital Photos\Maria2
E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\Lollipop
doesn't work:
E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\Yellow
E:\Digital Photos\Maria
E:\Digital Photos\London\fig
E:\Digital Photos\London\rejects
Notice there are 2 subfolders of E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\, and one works, one doesn't.
Now I haven't systematically checked every file in any particular folder, but if I find that one file in a folder works or doesn't work, every other file I randomly pick so far has also worked or not worked just like the first one.

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again?

I have Yahoo mail provider but just lost my folders in Mac Mail program. The folders were not "On my Mac" but on "Yahoo". How do I get them back again? I have reinstalled MacMail as everything had disappeared. The new install has given me everything except the Yahoo folders. When I looked one of the folders had reappeared, but now it has gone again. I am using Yosemite.
Desperate to find those folders with so much data involved.

Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

Certain folders do not show in Finder.

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.4 version. Lately my Finder window does not show the files in certain folders in thumbnail view, which is my default use. So, if the folder is in thumbnail view, the files do not show. Only if I change to other views or search file name in Finder search bar, the files show. But it's been a hassle doing this everytime I open these folders. Happens with several folders. I do not really recall if this happened after an incident in particular or a software update, but it's been for almost three months. In case this would help, I overuse my devise and it might happen that I have a couple, sometimes more, of apps as Ai, Ps, InD, and Rhino opened at the same time. My MacBook is also 4 years old, and I have changed my hard drive two years ago. Processor is 2.26 GHz and Memory 2GB 1067 MHz. Any help with that..?
If this is not the right community, please help redirect.
Thanks in advance.

I assume this is the option that you are having the issue with.
When in this mode, have you clicked on the GREEN button in the upper left hand corner?
Ciao.

Can't left click on certain folders in iTunes

WIndows 7, iTunes 10.5, iOS 5, iPhone 4
I cannot left click on certain folders in iTunes, such as Music, Movies, any of my Playlists, etc. If I left-click on them I see a red circle with a diagonal line through it. I have to right-click on it first, dismiss the pop-up window and I can access it fine.
This behavior is not exclusive - I can left click on some folders, like Apps, Ringtones, etc. Also I can left click elsewhere in iTunes like the menus at the top (File, Edit, View, etc.). I can also left-click elsewhere in Windows just fine.
Any ideas

Having the same problem with a windows computer.I can only click with the right button on the top folders. The lower folders like playlist work perfectly. I uninstalled Itunes because it had gone through an update and thought that a line of code or directory was missing but the problem persisted.
I have had no poblems with any of my macs which are all new however, when I launched Itunes which had just been updated on those machines, my macbook pro froze.
Looking for a fix...please help

Guest Access

I have OS X Lion Server running on a Mac Mini. I just want to enable SIMPLE guest access to a share. This is for a home with Mac and Windows 7 PC's. I dont want user accounts, just using this Mac Mini (or trying to) as a simple file server/iTunes server.
I have created a share. I have enabled guest access. I have even given the entire drive/volume its on "Others" (or whatever it is) read/write permissions and reset the ACL's on the drive, with the share. Windows computers (Windows 7) prompt for a user name and password.
Why? I can login in with the admin account of the Mini server at Windows and get in....but I dont want to login.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,

No, need not have to buy any router. Just in order to show up the Guest Network you need to reinstall/reconfigure the whole router. While reconfiguring the router again make sure the existing Cisco connect should be uninstalled first and then follow the instructions provided in the link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=e30f926604334d538668529cb50ad174_21463.xml&pid=80&...

Finder relaunches when I click on certain folders

For some reason, finder will relaunch when I click on certain folders. Most folders are fine, but there are certain folders that will always cause finder to relaunch. I use Serato (DJ software) and I can use the files contained in those folders with no problems. But when I go to finder to go straight to the file itself, finder will relaunch.
Any ideas?

Thanks. Just tried that, and still the same problem. What's interesting is that I can get into those folders through other networked Macs. If I access my Macbook Pro (which is where I'm experiencing the problems) through my G5 desktop, the Finder on my G5 does NOT relaunch.

ISE with CWA and wired guest access via WLC Anchor

Can an Anchor WLC (WLCa) provide a wired guest LAN service if the wlan guest access is using CWA?
We are deploying a WLAN only ISE solution (it is a full license ISE though) but they just want a few wired guest ports. I was hoping to add L2 switch to the DMZ where the WLCa is and that the L2 switch wouldnt need any other config as the WLCa just bridges the wired to the wlan vlan. This Im sure i have done before.
So now I have set wiredguest the same as i have done before ISE and my wired clients get an IP address, but when they redirect, the URL they get is different, and the redirect just doesnt work.
It comes out as:
https://my_ise_ip:8443/guestportal/Login.action?switch_url=https://my_ise_host/login.html&wlan=my_wired_guest_lan&redirect=www.google.co.uk
So does my simple L2 only switch need an ISE config on it or should the WLCa be handling or the redirection just as it would for a wlan device.

The ISE never receives an auth entry, so i dont believe the redirect is working for the wired client. So even though the clients browser gets a redirect url which fails connection, the client info in the WLCa doesnt have a redirect ACL listed like a wlan client would
