Sharing Disk, but not to Everyone

Hi All,
I have a requirement to share my entire disk with certain users in my environment. I successfully set "Macintosh HD" as shared, configure the permissions for the administrative users, but for some reason this gives "Everyone" read access to my entire disk. Obviously I don't want everyone gaining access to everything in my disk, but I can't see how to limit the everyone 'access'. This isn't a problem when sharing folders on the disk, only the entire disk. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Just a quick update to this problem. If you have the desire to share your entire disk do not, I repeat DO NOT attempt to change the sharing and permissions for the disk under Macintosh HD Info (Get info.) I changed the "everyone" permission to "no access", which hosed my machine and wouldn't allow it to boot. In fact, I couldn't even boot a USB disk, I had to boot to my OSX setup DVD and fix things from there. Hopefully you won't make the same mistake, and if you do, here's the solution:
Start Disk Utility (from OSX installation DVD if necessary)
Select the disk
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Select Repair Disk Permissions
You should be good to go. Hopefully you will have an easier time resolving this than I did.

  • IPod shows up as disk but not in iTunes on Yosemite

    Hi,
    I have an iPod classic, previously owned by a different family member on a different library. I wanted to erase and get my own content on. The problem is that it does come up as a disk in Finder, but not in iTunes.
    I have used on various other computers (all Yosemite), no problem. Just on this one it doesn't work.
    I have tried to create a new library, same problem.
    I have tried under a different user, same problem.
    All other iOS devices work fine.
    Same problem for all iPod (classic, nano, ...) which show up as disks, but not in iTunes.
    The only difference is that I have Yosemite Server running on the same computer. Not sure whether this could be the reason?
    Thanks
    Patrick

    Hi pabolux,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with this iPod classic. If you are looking to do a complete factory restore, but the iPod isn't showing up in iTunes on your Mac, you may find the following articles helpful:

  • PSE 10 will print from the organizer and in sharing mode, but not from full edit

    I'm using pse10 on a computer with an i7 processor with 12GB of ram and windows 7 with a color laser printer.  The print function works fine while in organizer and sharing mode, but not from full edit.   When I try to print from full edit, I get an  error message with a red "X" on it that says:  "Before you can perform printer related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."  I can't figure it out.  The printer is in "ready" state, and works fine in the organizer mode, and in share.  Any thoughts on what I'm missing? Thanks for any help in advance.

    This occurs frequently with HP printers, though  others are implicted as well from time to time
    In Control panel>Devices and printers, right click your active printer, go to Printer Properties, and rename the printer to something short, e.g. my printer

  • Audio through Screen Sharing.app but not Remote Desktop?

    Can anyone enlighten me as to why audio from a remote Mountain Lion machine can be heard through the Screen Sharing.app but not Apple Remote Desktop? Do they use different protocols?

    Your ssh command should look something like:
    ssh -L 22590:localhost:5900 remove.mac.system.address
    Then you connect using
    Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> vnc://localhost:22590
    Have you been doing anything close to that?

  • Delete songs from disk but not itunes

    Alll mu music (150G) is in iTunes/iCloud, which is great for my iPhone 5. However, I have a classic iPod (120G) that won't sync unless the music is on my hard drive. So, I started downloading the music onto my hard drive but ran out of space... so I'm wondering how to delete the music from my hard drive but not iTunes so I can reclaim the hard disk space.

    You can do what you say you want to do on the face of it, but it doesn't make sense.  Yes, you could, if you wished, delete the media files in your iTunes folder that are associated with a particular entry in your library.  You would then see a trimmed down version of the entry in the iTunes window and of course a message that the file could not be found ( a ! ).  I'm not sure why you would want it this way in your case.  The bottom line is, if you want to sync to your device the media files have to be on the computer.  If there are files you do not wish to sync you can delete them.  You can add them to iTunes again later but they will be put in as new entries so you will have to re-create playlists that contain those entries.

  • Problem w/"combo boxes" cause the user to double click for the dropdown menu, but not for everyone.

    I have created a form with Adobe Acrobad Pro 9.
    There are a few "drop-down" boxes for people to choose options from.  I created them with the "Combo box" option.  They work perfectly fine on my laptop (Lenovo T500 windows 7, with all updates up to date.)  I sent the file to another exact same computer and that's when the problem came up.  When you click on the drop-down, the list will quickly appear and then disappear.  Then if you click it again it will stay open so you can choose your option.  However this only happens on "some" computers but not everyone's.  I emailed the exact same form out to other people in my office and they do not have any problems with the form.  There is no need to double click the drop down, it will just open up properly for them.
    Has anyone come across this? And if so, is there maybe a setting on these specific laptops that is preventing the "combo box" to not work properly?  I need to use this specific laptop as a "Kiosk" like a "check out" station for users to fill out the form to check out equipment.  I will be running in Reader so people can not make changes to the form.  (both the Acrobat Pro 9 version and the (most up to date) Reader version of the PDF form does the same "double-click" problem)  I need a date drop down and an equipment type drop down.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
    Thanks !

    I've got this kind of problem with a form of mine (designed with LCD) :
    - combo boxes with font-color changing event handlers on :enter
    - on Acrobat 9 Pro : no problem
    - on Reader 8.3 :
          - first click seems to execute the event handler but stops the combo's opening
          - second click does open the combo
    Do you have event handlers on combo:enter ?
    Could the difference between comps where it works and comps where it doesn't be Acrobat's version ?

  • MBP read commercial disks but not its own

    My Mac Book Pro will read commercial disks (DVDs) like movies, books on CD, etc. And it can write disks (DVDs). But lately it cannot read the disks it writes. I tried the disk the MBP wrote on another computer and it read just fine. So I am confused. Why can  it read and write DVDs but not the ones that it writes?
    Any ideas

    Only idea is that your SuperDrive just may not be that "super" any longer. Take the machine to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the optical drive. Be sure and take some of the DVDs that you've been able to write but cannot read.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Time machine backups present on disk but not seen

    Hi. I just notice that on my macbookpro time machine is keeping creating the hourly backups, but I cannot see them anymore from the time machine interface.
    All backup files seem to be on the disk, but whenever I enter the time machine I can only see the last one, as if I started the time machine for the first time.
    Any idea why this is happening? And, more important, any idea on how to fix it?
    I'm on a macbook pro with OS X 10.8.5; the time machine files are stored in an external USB disk.
    Thank you for your support.

    My TM did this after the upgrade to 10.9
    When I first set it up, I just clicked to use the same drive I had been using, even though I'd just formatted it.
    Apparently that causes the backups not to appear in the app.
    So, here's what finally resolved it. I:
    1. Opened Time Machine Preferences.
    2. Turned Time Machine off.
    3. Clicked "Select Disk...".
    4. DELETED the TM disk I had previously selected.
    5. Reformatted the TM disk once again.
    6. Reopened Time Machine Preferences.
    7. Reselected the newly formatted disk from the list.
    8. Turned Time Machine back on, and let it begin backing up.
    When I opened it the next morning, I had seven backups in the app to choose from.

  • Sharing Itunes but not contacts

    I recently upgraded to an Iphone. My wife already had one. When setting up my phone I signed into our itunes account in order to get all of the music and other things we already had. The problem is with our contacts. Once I set up my phone, I got all of her contacts and she got all of mine. Is there anyway to fix this where we can keep our own contacts but not share all of them? Also, sometimes she gets texts sent to me on her phone. I think there is something in the settings that could fix these issues but don't know what that might be.
    I tried to turn off icloud-contacts in my settings but that turned all of my contacts back to phone numbers with no names attached. I'm new to iphone and quickly looked but can't find an answer to this in the forums.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    You should use separate Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. These services are separate from iTunes.
    Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ -- Note: You need a verified email address
    On one of the devices go:
    Settings > iCloud > (Scroll Down) Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID -- Note: This only affects the device
    Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    This will separate your iCloud content (i.e. Contacts, Notes, Reminders etc.), Messages and FaceTime.
    You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share purchased Apps, Music and Movies

  • Home Sharing works, but not able to transfer files between PCs.

    I have two laptops at home, one is an old one I keep dedicated to my Apple TV 2nd Gen. (so I don't have to have my laptop on, or my wife can use the ATV if I'm at work w/ my laptop, etc.)
    Anyway, I sync all my media between both computers so when my laptop is not home, ATV still has full media function (as does my laptop).  Used to be able to connect via Home Sharing and there was a drop-down menu with an option at the bottom of the Library to show only those files not in my library.  I would use that function to transfer all recently added media to the ATV laptop.  Since upgrading to iTunes 10, that dropdown menu is nowhere to be found.  Any ideas?
    I can still connect and play media through Home Sharing, but if my primary laptop leaves the range of the network, the new media content on it can't be accessed on ATV.  Primary laptop is Windows 7, ATV-dedicated lap is on Windows XP.
    Was the ability to transfer files through Home Sharing lost between iTunes 9 and 10 or did this feature just get moved somewhere else?  If it was lost, how can I revert back to iTunes 9?  If nothing else, I can just transfer via an external HD, but was just very convenient and easy through Home Sharing...
    Thanks for any input!

  • Firewire Drive shows in Startup Disk -- But not with Option

    I just added a new firewire backup drive. It's the only ext. drive attached. I ran SuperDuper to make a bootable clone of my startup drive. The drive shows up in Startup Disk, with the proper OS, 10.4.11, same as my int. drive.
    But when I restart and hold down the option key, only my int. drive shows up.
    What do you think is going on?

    Power PC based Macintosh computers are unable to boot to a My Book external hard drive.
    Question
    Why am I unable to boot to a WD My Book external hard drive using a Power PC (PPC) Based Macintosh computer?
    Answer
    Problem:
    Power PC based Macintosh computer systems are unable to boot to the following My Book external hard drive:
    * My Book Pro II Edition
    * My Book Premium II Edition
    * My Book Home Edition
    * My Book Studio Edition
    Intel Macintosh computers are not affected by this issue and are able to be booted from My Book external hard drives if the partition on the drive has been setup as a GUID partition scheme.
    Cause:
    This issue is a Macintosh bug cause by the Mac ROM code of the computer and how it attempts to boot from the first SCSI LUN it detects (LUN 0). In the case of the aforementioned hard drives, the LUN 0 device is dedicated to the button board and safe removal tools of the hard drive case and not the internal hard drive, thus causing booting to be impossible.
    Resolution:
    There is currently no resolution to this issue. If a resolution is found by Apple, this answer will be updated with this information.
    =====
    Unbelievably, they blame Apple for the problem.

  • ITMS - sharing music but not letting user purchase?

    Hi, I'm helping a friend who's got an iMac and just bought a Macbook. She's transferred everything to her laptop, and now is planning on letting her kids use her iMac. She wants them to be able to listen to the music on her iMac's library (mostly iTMS purchased, and a bunch was purchased by her for them), but doesn't want them to be able to purchase music using her account. The kids, moreover, want to be able to use the iTMS to buy their own music and add it to the existing library on the iMac. Any ideas on how to set this up? She's not sharing with any other machines or users, so she's still plenty within the legal sharing limit on her music store purchases, I'd think.
    Thanks,
    Andreas
      Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    This works pretty well for Music but doing repeated 'Add to Library...' of the top level 'iTunes Music' folder seems to create duplicate library entries for Podcasts, which is a bit of a pain.
    I've written a script to remove these duplicates but it would be nicer if Podcasts were handled in the same way as the music tracks.
    NB. You can avoid it happening by doing 'Add to Library...', going into the shared 'iTunes Music' folder and selecting all the folders in there (A) then do -click on the 'Podcasts' and 'Movies' to deselect them. Then click 'Choose'.
    But this is hardly pretty - as you will have to individually add the Movies/Podcasts you DO want to add.
