Saving iBots in the Shared Folder

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding iBots:
1. How do I save the iBots in the Common Shared iBots folder? (I can do this as an Administrator, but not as any other user)
2. How can I have the content delivered as an Excel file to my dashboard. I changed the "Content As" on the Delivery Content Tab to Attachment(Excel 2000), but when I open the Alerts link on the Dashboard, the report still shows up in a new browser window as a HTML file, not Excel.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks
Kingsly

When I try to use the Publish for Subscription option for any user other than Presentation Server Administrator,
I get the error "access denied for user to path /shared/_ibots/Test iBot. Error Details Error Codes: O9XNZMXB".
On point #2, We are not planning to email the report. I just want the user to login to his dashboard and click on "Alerts" on the top of the page. When they click on Alerts, I want the report to open in Excel format.
hope that clarified it.
Thank you.

Can't expand the folders under the shared folder in catalog new analysis?

Hello All,
When i am trying to create a new Analysis and in the catalog section when i expand the shared folder i can only see one level the folders under neath the shared folders cannot expand the folders under the parent folders. for example i have three main folders under shared folders Finance, Marketing and Customer when i try to expand the finance folder it doesn't expand and when i try to open marketing it expands by it doesn't show anything in those folders but when i try to open the folders directly from home --> catalog--> shared folders--> Finance--> ..... it shows every thing under those folders folders sub folders and all that stuff. I am hoping it is not something to do with permissions because i am able to open here. Please advice

If you do not have an object saved in the folder it will not dispaly the folder when you are in Answers navigating through the folder structure. Ensure you have saved at least one object (Prompt/Report) in the folder.

How to send data from internal table to the shared folder in ABAP

Hi experts,
My requirement is to transfer data from a file to shared folder. i just did reading data from a file to a internal table. Now i want to send this internal table data into a shared folder which is "
xxx\y\z....".
I do not have any idea on how to send data from internal table to the shared folder path.
can anybody please help me out how to do this?
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Where that folder is located, its on presentation server i.e. desktop or application server.
If its on presentation server, use FM GUI_UPLOAD.
If its on application server, then use DATASET functions. Have a look at below link.

If I move my iTunes media folder to the Shared folder....

Hello
I'd like to share my music libary with my wife's user account on our MacBook Pro so she can get some of my music onto her iPhone. I've read the article on the Apple site as well as similar articles from other reputable Mac user websites and it seems simple enough.
I move the iTunes media folder into the shared folder and then redirect iTunes in the two separate accounts towards the new library locations whilst unticking the box 'Copy to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library' and then the same library is used by iTunes for both user accounts.
My question is: what are the implications for Apps when doing this? This method allows us to share music which is simple enough because she doesn't have any so the new library will just be my music.
But we both have our own collection of apps bought and downloaded through our individual accounts. Her apps are in the iTunes Media folder in her own account whilst mine are in mine. If we share an iTunes media folder as our shared libary, how does the storage and synchronisation of apps function?
Thank you for any help..

Sorted - worked it out myself.
In case it's of any use to anyone else, I moved my iTunes Media folder into the Shared section of the drive and let iTunes know this which has had absolutely no effect on my library or my access to my media.
My wife's iTunes simply has access to my media and she can add it to her own library (which already contains her own apps) without moving the media from my shared folder because I deselected that 'copy to itunes when adding to library' box.
Now she has her own media folder and library but can access my stuff...

Hi!
I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?

Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege

Iphone not recognizing photos put into the shared folder

I'm trying to import new photos from a shared folder. I just dragged photos from my main account into the shared folder so other accounts on the same computer can drag them into their own iphoto. I had three sources of the new photos; canon camera, iphone4 and a sony. They are all working fine in my main account but when one of my user accounts tries to drag these iPhoto complains many of the photos are not recognized. After some discovery I found that many of these are "read only" and if I make it read/write it fixed the issue. I can't seem to find a way to use the "info" to change all the files at the same time. I have hundreds of photos I need to do this to.
Is there any other solution to this problem?
Was there a better way to do this from the start to avoid this situation?
This is very frustrating...
Thanks

Is there any other solution to this problem?
Use iPhoto Sharing:
Enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account(s). In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

Question about the shared folder when backing up audio

Hello, kind Mac folk. I've read a lot about using Itunes to backup Itunes libraries onto multiple CD-R's and it seems that, right now, this is the best option for me. However, I've also read that it's a good idea to also backup the "users/shared" folder from the HD because it contains some invisible information regarding the authentication of music that I purchased using my .Mac/Itunes account. So is it possible to burn this folder in the same burning project I'll use accross the CD-R's on which my tunes will go? Or do I need to place this folder in a burn folder and back it up that way? And, if the latter is the only way possible, will it matter that the information is on a separate disc if I ever need to restore or upgrade my hardware? Thanks so much for your help and advice.
Austin

If you create your backup CD-Rs from within iTunes, it's not possible to include the Shared folder.
You have to burn that folder as a separate project.
The size of the folder can be fairly large (mine is about 1.9 GB) depending on the applications and specific use of your computer.
If your only goal is to save the authorization info in case of a HD crash or other failure, it won't help. After repair of a logic board or changing RAM, you will be asked to authorize again anyway.
Take a look at this article
The authorization info is stored in the 'SC Info.sidb' file inside the 'SC Info' folder in Shared.
You can 'unhide' invisible files by tools like Tinkertool or OnyX (you can find them on versiontracker.com)
Hope this helps.

Why cannot QuickVPN reach into the shared folder behind WRVS4400n

Why cannot QuickVPN reach into the shared folder behind WRVS4400n ?
I can remotly log onto the router WRVS4400n through QuickVPN from my WinXP PC, but i cannot reach into the folder behind the router. After I log onto the router, i cannot find a new interface appearing in Network Connections. I do not have a new IP address which allow me to reach into the folder behind the router. Anyone can do me a favor ? Please see three attached pic. Thank you so much.

I think it has something to do with WPA2/AES key renewals.

IPhoto Library in the Shared folder?

Isn't it possible to place the iPhoto library in the shared folder and then under each user account, link their iPhoto library to it, granting them both full permissions to the files?
I know I've done this once before, but I recall I had to do something tricky with permissions, possibly involving the Terminal

If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
Finally: If you’re comfortable in the Terminal, and understand File Permissions, ACL’s etc., some folks have reported success using the process outlined here . (Note this page refers to 10.4, but it should also work on 10.5). If you’re not comfortable with the terminal, and don’t know an ACL from the ACLU, then you’re best doing something else... Oh, and the warning about simultaneous users still applies.

Permissions Issue with the "Shared" Folder

Hello,
I’ve been encountering what appears to be an odd bug concerning permissions, notably during the use of the “Shared” folder (/Users/Shared). And I’ve looked around to find solutions, but haven’t come across a similar problem. Hence the post.
Here’s how it works—or, rather, how it doesn’t work. Two people are using one computer (a MacBook Pro running 10.6.3) and would like to share documents, being able to read and write to them.
From what I can understand, any document created in a folder should take on that folder’s access privileges. Since the permissions for the “Shared” folder indicate “Read and Write” privileges for all three groups (Me, staff, everyone), then any document created therein should, in principle, allow members of all three groups to read and write to it.
Well, to cut a long story short, it doesn’t. Whenever a document is created in the “Shared” folder (with Pages or TextEdit, for example), the “Get Info” window shows that only the user who created it has “Read and Write” privileges. Members of the other two groups only have “Read” privileges.
I ran the “ls –l” command in Terminal on the “Shared” folder, and here is an example of the output for one of the files:
–rw–r– –r– –@ 1 username staff 342 31 Jan 17:08 Test.rtf
As far as I can understand, this shouldn’t be happening. I’ve tried logging out and logging back in, rebooting, and repairing permissions from the original installation disk (no problems detected), but nothing changes and I still encounter the same scenario.
Has anyone run across this issue before? And would anyone know what might be wrong, or even how to fix it?
Thanks to anyone who might be able to shed some light on this detail to help me understand what is going on here.
Best regards,
Stephen

I suppose you are working on the Mac?
Which version of the OS?
Go to the finder, hold down the ALT key and call G, there select the User Library (the one without a shortcut, this entry is without the ALT key not visible).
Check the permissions of the preferences folder. Select the folder CMD+I
You must have permission to read and write.

When I click on the sharing folder in sys pref there are no options avail.

I am trying to set up sharing between my two macs, but when click on the sharing folder in system preferences, there are no options visible.   This only occurs on one of my macs.   but on my 10.7.4 lion mac, there are no options.
All other options of all other system preferences are there, just not my sharing options.   I have tried to download updates to 10.7.4, but it has not fixed the problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

It opens the folder, but there is nothing in the folder.   This is what it looks like.

Is it possible to limit the folder size of the Shared folder?

I have setup quotas for all users who login to our Snow Leopard Server.
I would now like to setup the Shared folder that is located in the Users folder to have a maximum data limit. That way, a user can't just dump data into the Shared folder and completely fill the server.
Does anyone know if that's possible or if there is a better way to create a shared folder that is has a data limit?
Thanks!
Kurt

Thank you Linc Davis for your reply!
I have studied the information in that tutorial. It seems that it is discussing how to setup quotas for individual users and groups on a given volume. However, what I'm trying to accomplish is setting the limit on a specific folder.
OS 10.6 Server already has a feature that I have enabled that sets quotas for each of my user's Home folder. However, each of them ALSO have access to a shared folder on the server that is not within their own Home folder. Thus, the individual quotas do restrict the specific size of this Shared folder.
So I'm wondering if you (or anyone) knows of a way to set a limit, not on a specific user or group, but on a specific folder? I need to figure out how to enable a setting that basically says: "This shared folder cannot grow bigger than 20GB no matter who uses it," for example.
Thanks!!

I want to screen/file share from my Macbook Pro to IMac. I can't see it when I open the Shared folder.

From my macbook..I have a few times seen the IMac listed on the devices list. I don't know what I did to make it appear but I was able to
file share..etc. Now ...when I open Sharing folder from laptop..I see "IMac" as Computer name. Should this be changed? Screen Sharing:On..Allow access for all users is checked. I don't know how to launch my Imac screen again. Please advise. Thanks!

If screen share it turned on with both computers there are several ways to then screen share. First ensure Screen Sharing is selected on each computer in System Preferences - Sharing. Once this is done then open a Finder Window on the Left you will see Shared on the left side, then click the computer you want to share and you will see a screen like the following. From there click where it says Screen Share.

Where is the Shared folder for the Themes?

While I know that the official position is that the calendar themes can not be changed, I see a reference to Shared/Backgrounds/Solid/aged-paper-cover.jpg in the vintage theme.
Where can I find this and other images to edit? I tried looking for it in the contents of iPhoto to no avail.
I know I'm doing this at my own risk. I know to make backups first. I just want to know where the theme template images reside.
Thanks.

I've not been able to find any editable files that are associated with a calendar in either the Application Support/iPhoto folder or the application itself. What version of iPhoto was the reference referring to? Can you provide the link to the reference?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
