Setting Sound preference defaults for managed accounts

Hi, I just added a bluetooth speaker to my MAc Mini, and I had no problem setting it as default speaker for my administrator account. However the setting is not automaticatically transferred to the managed accounts, and them beeing managed can not acces the preferences. Is there a simple way of doing this, or should I go to the trouble of setting each account as administrator, log as the other user, change the preference and then change it back as managed account?

Rebooting again resolved the problem. Though I rebooted differently than I generally reboot. I left the audio interface powered-up during boot. Generally, I only power-up the interface (USB2) when needing audio. It's never been a problem. I hope that wasn't the solution to this problem.

    You will need to make a custom template with your own settings.
    The default text style is Body so set that the way you like it in the template.

    You can set your custom template to open by default in your preferences.

  • Changing desktop picture for managed account

    I would like to change the desktop picture in my daughter's managed account.
    I am using 10.5
    In a standard account, one opens the system preferences and goes to the 'desktop and screen saver' and in the 'desktop' part the picture can be set.
    However, for a managed account, there is no system preferences available. Even in the full finder is run there is no access to any of the system preferences.
    I have tried logging in to the administrator account and setting the picture from there but there does not seem to be any option to do this.
    Help please.

    Hi,
    You don't see the System Preferences in a managed account because "System Preferences" is an application and by default it is not included in the managed account.
    To allow System Preferences in a managed account, select the account in System Preferences (when you are in an administrator account), click the "Parental Control" button, under "System" tab, choose "System Preferences" where it allows you choose applications.

  • Set up Company Codes for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

    HI,
    I need clarification on "Set up Company Codes for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable"
    When a company code "ABCD" isn't set up for contract accounts receivable and payable (Menu path:
    SAP Insurance -> Collections/Disbursements -> Organizational Units -> Set up Company Codes for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable), are postings on this company code "ABCD" within FS-CD not allowed and blocked ?
    Is it mandetory to specify company codes to post in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable in SAP FS-CD.

    Yes .  It is mandatory to extend company code chart of accounts to CA/CR and FSCD.

  • System Preferences on a Managed Account

    I created a log in account for the kids to use.  I turned the parental controls on and made minor restrictions to keep the user from being able to destroy the computer.  However, on that account, I'd like to be able to modify the mouse settings.  But system preferences is not an option under the apple.  How do I, as the administrator, "personalize" the kids' managed account?

    Did you set up the account with Simple Finder?
    You may not need to restrict things as highly as you did.  A standard non-admin user cannot do anything to wreck global settings, modify other users' stuff, or delete or change anything outside his own files inside his own user account. As long as the kids don't know the password of any admin account there's little to no risk of them breaking anything for anyone else.

  • Accessing third party programs for managed accounts w/parental controls

    Hello - I am trying to set up a managed account for a child. I have installed some third party software. When I attempt to allow access under parental controls to this software, while I can see it under the parental control screen (eg, using System Preferences), when this account is actually accessed, the program does not appear.
    I've had many problems in the past with parental controls, and would appreciate any sources, tutorials, etc on the matter!

    A post in the link FromOZ provided held the answer.
    Currently there seems to be an issue with Profile Manager and Admin account etc. According to the other thread so long as you use, user profiles the problem exists. One user in the other thread put forth that they stoped using user profiles and were using device profiles. Which seemed to fix the issue. I can confim removing all user profiles and only using device profile solves the issue.
    What I did was create a group just for each user place all there devices into that group and never touch the individual user profile again.
    Maybe this will help someone I dont know but maybe. Its a bit of a pain in the rear but now I have dictation fixed. Heres hoping the next verison of Server fixes this.
    ps.. This was a perliminary test of just a few things like VPN, WIFI, and a few settings. I dont expect it to change once, I get more indepth.

  • Set reverse scroll direction for guest account

    Is there a way to set the default scroll direction to reverse scrolling for the guest account?
    Thanks.

    No: all settings are restored to default when the guest logs out. But you could create a managed account for visitors, with suitable restrictions, then that would hold any setting you made. Of course its contents won't be deleted when they log out, which can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on circumstances.

  • Set nautilus as default file manager in kde?

    I would give kde a good chance, but I have several issues with konqueror. Is it possible to set nautilus as the default file manager in kde? I have started nautilus from kde before.
    Is this possible?

    OK then. Install nautilus.
    control center > file associations > inode > directory [ then add: "nautilus --no-desktop" ] (make sure it's primary in the list)
    You'll not be able to open KIO slaves such as media:// with nautilus though. Maybe you should create launchers on the desktop running "nautilus --no-desktop computer://" etc?
    There are some other cosmetic changes you can do as well, such as installing gnome-volume-manager, gnome-settings-dameon, gnome-control-center etc.
    Another way is just to add "nautilus --no-desktop" as default application for inode > directory, but don't add it as *primary*, but secondary application, so you can right click and choose "open with nautilus" on the desktop/konqueror.
    I've successfully run a complete nautilus desktop replacing konqueror as root window and file manager, and it works really good actually.
    I did uncheck "icons on desktop" and disabled wallpaper in kcontrol.
    Had to disable "hal backend" in kde to let gnome-volume-manager take care of hal mounts; "HalBackendEnabled=false" in .kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc
    Then i had to run "gnome-settings-daemon &" in .kde/Autostart/startup (this file should be executable, as usual) (nautilus itself is a GUI application and will survive  the next session on it's own, because of KDE session managment)
    I took the easy route and installed the whole "gnome" metapackage instead of selective packages though.
    The only problem was that kedit.desktop didn't want to start as default application for say, text files, but i had to enter kedit manually in that box you get during "open with dialog".
    I bastardized KDE, i know
    It was worth it! hehe
    BTW dolphin/d3lphin is really good too, as lucke pointed out.

  • Sound preference default is wrong

    I just upgraded to snow leopard. now every time I turn on my mac pro. the sound output defaults to an old program call "CD spin doctor capture support". I delete this program but the preference is still there. Apple support was no help. how can I get the machine to default to "audio Line o

    I think that's why I asked what you did.  If you deleted the plists but the selection for CD Spin doctor came back then I don't think you removed all of what CD Spin doctor installed.  So now you should go look in the following places to see if there are any names resembling CD Spin doctor.

  • Can't set up email manually for Suddenlink account on iPhone 3G

    I've been trying to set up my new iPhone 3G to access a Suddenlink
    email account with no luck. I keep getting a message that it can't
    find the server. It is an easy set up and shouldn't be that difficult.
    I set it up the same way I set up the email client on my computer
    for a POP account. Has anyone done this for a Suddenlink account?

    I finally got incoming AND outgoing email to work. To the instructions below from tylermacman
    you have to add TURN OFF PRIMARY OUTGOING SMTP SERVER AND TURN ON AT&T SMTP Server.
    SO- SETTINGS>Mail,Contacts>Acct>scroll down to SMTP click>Turn Off Primary>Scroll down to Other SMTP Servers AT&T>Click on AT&T>Turn On.
    I don't own an iPhone, so I had to borrow one from a co-worker. Please follow these steps:
    1. From your iPhone desktop, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    2. Select your Suddenlink email account and remove it by scrolling down and tapping the Delete Account button.
    3. Tap Add Account and select Other.
    4. Enter the appropriate answer for each box, as follows:
    Name - Your name
    Address - Your Suddenlink email address
    Password - Your Suddenlink Password
    Description - This is the nickname for the account (for example, Home)
    5. Tap Save to continue.
    6. On the next screen, tap POP.
    7. Scroll down to Incoming Mail Server and enter the following:
    Host name - pop.suddenlink.net
    User name - your Suddenlink email address
    Password - your Suddenlink Password (if not auto-entered)
    8. Scroll down to Outgoing Mail Server and enter the following:
    Host name - smtp.suddenlink.net
    Username - your Suddenlink email address
    Password - your Suddenlink Password (if not auto-entered)
    9. Tap Save to continue.
    10. Tap Yes for Cannot connect using SSL.
    11. Tap OK to dismiss the POP account verification failed warning.
    12. Tap Save, then Save again to continue.
    13. Tap the account you just created.
    14. Scroll down and tap Advanced.
    15. Scroll down and tap Use SSL to turn it to the OFF position. Note that the Server Port field changes from 995 to 110. The authentication method should already be set to Password.
    16. Tap Home, then Mail, then Settings, then return to the iPhone's Home screen and you should be able to send and receive email on your iPhone using Suddenlink's POP/SMTP, Password-authenticated connection.
