Two safari browsers on the same Mac- how to remove one?

Since my windows PC broke, I had used my kids' mac min lately. In order to complete an on-line form I had to instal the 4.0 version of Safari. I followed the instructions on the website (with the form) and linked to apple and downloaded version 4.0 that works ok. BUT, version 3.0 is still installed and I hadn't figured it out how to uninstall it - having both browsers on this minicomputer with limited memory slows it down.
So, how do I uninstall the old version?

Thanks for the welcome
It is the 4.0 version. However the shortcut on the desktop still opens a 3.0 version (I just cannot find the 3.0 version under applications any longer, or any uninstall/remove programs options). I was wondering if , once I fix my PC or get a MAC of my own, I should just remove Safari as a whole and reinstall the older version.
Sorry, but this is the first MAC we owed, and a lot of stuff is not structured like on a regular PC.

Using the same photos and music between two user accounts in the same Mac

Hi,
I think this question might have already been asked in the forum.
1. I have one MacBook Pro and two user accounts (One for me and one for my wife)
2. We are having two seperate iPhones with seperate AppleIDs
3. We want to maintain the apps / calendar / mail / reminders / contacts as seperate - Through iCloud (Seperate Apple ID approach) - All this is fine
4. All we want to have it shared is the Music files and the Photo library without duplicating
I have tried the shared folder approach for the music and having the iTunes point to that directory for the libary location in the preferences but unfortunately if she adds a folder to the library mine does not get updated unless I do a add folder to library and vice versa.
Whats the best way to deal with the Photos / Music sharing between two user accounts on the same mac
Thanks

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

HI,
Open a browser window in Safari. Then Command + N

Share iTunes purchases between two user accounts on the same Mac?

I have a Macbook Pro, for my bride and I, and a Macbook, for our kids. Both Macs are authorized on my iTunes account.
So, how can I share an iTunes Store purchased song on my account with my wife's? I understand how to turn on sharing and she can see my songs in iTunes on her account, but she cannot synch them to her iPod.
Now, I'm allowed to authorize an iTunes account on up to five Macs. I have two. But I have four accounts. Either way, I won't be exceeding five copies, but can't find a way to get a song I bought in my iTunes to my wife's iPod.
We use the same iTunes account but don't want to have to buy things twice to get them on her iPod. Just seems weird that I could put it on five machines but not two user accounts on the same one.

On my Mac Pro I moved the entire library to "Macintosh HD/Shared/iTunes". Changed the Folder location in iTunes Preferences->Advanced->General to point to that location. Then in each user change the Music/iTunes folder to be an alias or link pointing to the Shared/iTunes folder. You will likely need to change the permissions on that folder to give everyone the ability to read and write. Do that via "Get Info" on the iTunes folder using Finder. I'd suggest backing everything up before you do this.

Can two user accounts on the same mac share the Address Book

My wife and I have separate user accounts on the same Mac but we would like to share the same Address Book. I have searched the forums to no avail. It seems silly to use .mac to do so, and a needless expense when the information is already on the same computer.

That's not possible. you have to use Mobileme if you want to share the address book.

Sharing iPhoto library between two user accounts on the same Mac

My wife and I each have an iPad and we share the same iMac. We each have our own user account on the iMac. She syncs with her account, and I sync with mine. This works fine in general, but we store all our photos within iPhoto on my account. She is therefore unable to sync the photos to her iPad. The same is true with the music that we keep on the iTunes in my user account.
Is there a way for her to sync so that the photos and music sync with her iPad also?

I have used a program called iPhoto Library Manager (http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/) for years and it has worked like a charm. The program handles all of the permission/subfolder aspects transparently. Our iPhoto library is stored in my wife's default location, but I have seamless read-write access to it. When I open iPhoto, I see the same thing she does, and I have complete control.
To answer your question about music, there are a couple of approaches. If you turn on Sharing in iTunes, and your wife's iTunes is set to look for shared libraries, she'll be able to have complete access to play anything in your iTunes library (as long as you have iTunes open). I believe she also has rights to copy files from your iTunes library into hers.
That's great for playback on a Mac, but what you can't do is sync an iPod/iPad/iPhone with someone else's shared library, so here's how I do it:
1) My iTunes library is our "primary" library, located in my Public folder (where other users have read-access).
2) In my wife's iTunes, library, I hit keystroke Apple-O to add content to her library, and navigated over to my iTunes Library in my public folder to select it. Once I did this, her iTunes library looked like mine.
3) The key thing is that under her iTunes Advanced Preferences, I ensure that "Copy content to iTunes library" is deselected. Otherwise, it would make a copy of my entire library on her side, and that would chew up a ton of disk space.
Note that I don't think it's entirely necessary to have the iTunes library in the Public folder. It could stay in the default location as long as you changes your music folder to have read-access by other users. I moved mine before I knew any better.
When I add new content to my library that my wife wants, we hit Apple-O from her side and add it to her library. This setup is kludgy, but a) both users can sync the music to iDevices and b) it doesn't require having two copies of everything. Note that unlike the iPhoto Library Manager solution, this is a static thing. You have to manually update the "satellite" library to keep it up to date with the main one.
I'm not in front of my Mac, so some of my notations may not be completely accurate.
Good Luck!

Two USB headsets on the same mac?

My wife needs to listen in while my son is taking an online class. Is is possible to use a second USB headset on the mac and have the audio be directed to both?

One big problem with multiple USB headsets on OSX. If you are using identical USB headsets *with the same name*, only one will show up in the sound panel. I believe this is a bug, because past OSX versions allowed me to see multiple USB headsets with the same name. However in 10.5.8 and in Snow Leopard, multiple headsets with the same device name no longer appear. It's a real pain for me, because I can only use one of my favorite headset on my Mac.
I hope Apple will fix this bug, but otherwise you will need USB headsets that are different models.

Two phone lines on the same SIM card - but which one is active?

I have two phone lines on my SIM card. Of course, only one of them can be active at one time. The switch between them is done through a SIM application which is loaded on the SIM card (supplied by the carrier)
My question is that, sometimes I forget which line is the active one. Is there any way of seeing my active phone line?
All my prior not-so-smartphones showed Line1 or Line2 in the home screen. But i could not find if iphone does this.
P.S. settings-phone-my number does not answer this question, as it always displays the phone number that the iphone is registered to.
Thanks

Your husband needs to put his sim in an iPhone & turn iMessage off to fix this. If your husband setup a support profile with Apple, he can also login to that support profile & remove the phone.

Two ID 's in I cloud. How to remove one of them?

On my Ipad en phone i have already an apple ID. Now i've got a Mac and this needed an ID to. It refused to go with the excisting ID so i made a new one.
I have two ID's now and that's not smart because my documents are not syngronized on I cloud.
Anyone nows how I can delete one of the ID's ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't delete an Apple ID, you can only log out of it.
Choose which ID you wish to use, log out of iCloud on the devices using the other ID and log back in using the ID details you wish to use. Take care with any data in calendars, contacts etc and make back ups of the data before loging out.

Two users in the same Mac accessing one TimeCapsule

Hi,
How can i make two user accounts in the same Mac access simultaneously the same TimeCapsule?
I've tried setting them to use accounts to connect to TimeCapsule as well as using a single password for TimeCapsule.
But i keep having the same problem. When one user accesses the time capsule the other gets ejected or the TimeCapsule folder appears with a forbidden sign.
What do i have to do?
Please help.
Thanks in advance

I think i understand what is happening.
Leopard mounts the TimeCapsule disk using mount_afp command and any disk mounted with mount_afp will automatically have as owner <user>:staff and read and write permissions only to the owner. All other users have access denied.
(If anyone knows how to change the default permissions of mount_afp please reply!)
If like me, you have two user accounts in the same Mac (lets say user1 and user2) and use fast user switching a lot like i do, since it is a family computer, you'll have serious problems since what happens is the following:
1. Mount the Timecapsule in user1.
2. Fast user switching to user2.
3. The TimeCapsule will appear unmounted in user2
4. Mount the TimeCapsule in user2.
5. List the /Volumes folder and you'll see something like this
drwx------ user1:staff /TimeCapsule
drwx------ user2:staff /TimeCapsule-1
No problem... I can live with having two mounts for the same network disk.
The problem is the following...
6. Fast user switch to user1 again.
7. Open a finder window
8. On the left the TimeCapsule is listed as a network drive (as expected) and is shows as mounted!
However... The association has changed and once i click the TimeCapsule icon in the sidebar it now points to /Volumes/TimeCapsule-1 and therefore user1 has permission denied.
9. I opened a terminal window with user1 and went to /Volumes/TimeCapsule and everything was ok!.
So the conclusion is... the finder window sidebar TimeCapsule is pointing to a Volume it shouldn't be...
How is it possible to correct this situation???
Please help! I just want a way to have two users on the same machine using the same time capsule at the same time.
Thanks!

Creating two separate Safari Browsers on the Desktop..... Can It be done?

I would like to set up Safari so there are two Safari browsers on the desktop. One for me & one for dad. Dad uses IE but would love for him to use Safari & the cool new "Top Sites" feature & such, but I of cause don't want to loose all my settings in the process.
Can this be done? What if I install Safari a second time off a separate HD? would that work?

Well, the easiest way that should work would be installing it in two different directories, say C:\Program Files\Apple Safari and C:\Program Files\Apple Safari_Dad, then just making shortcuts with different names to the different folders. I can't guarantee it'll work though.
Although, if you install it on an external drive, that wouldn't work properly.
If you install it on a second HDD that is linked to your PC and runs on the same OS i.e. it is online, and functioning whilst your main HDD is running and doesn't have a separate partition on that other HDD for another OS, then you should be able to install it on that.
Note that the second way (that you suggested, if talking about a secondary internal HDD) would require a desktop computer, not a laptop/notebook.
Hope this helps.

any ideas !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
No problem, similar treatment. Follow
1. Create IP SLA/Track for both internet link
2. Break your LAN subnet into 2 smaller subnet
3. Create route map, Match with 1 subnet & route the traffic towards 1st internet link
route-map General_Internet_Traffic permit 10
match ip address 115
set ip next-hop verify-availability 10.1.1.1 track 1
set ip next-hop verify-availability 11.1.1.1 track 2
4. Create route map, Match with 2 subnet & route the traffic towards 2nd internet link
5. Configure NATing/PATing over the interface, selecting by route-map
ip nat inside source route-map General_Internet_Traffic interface FastEthernet0/0 overload

How to set two Star's TSP100 receipt printer on the same mac ?

Hello
For my restaurant I use a FileMaker homemade software that can use two ticket printers of the same type (Star's TSP100 receipt printer).
One is set as "Kitchen" in the underground kitchen and the other as "Desk" in the main floor.
Software must prints orders for kitchen on the correct printer and other receipts on the other printer. It uses Applescripts command to switch printer before printing.
Sometimes the two printers are switched and reports are printed on the bad printers.
Software is working correctly, orders for kitchen are always printed on the same printer and other receipts are also printed on the other printer. When printers switch, the kitchen receive receipts for desk and orders for kitchen are printed on the desk printer.
How can I fix the two printers to be sure that every orders and receipt are printed on the correct printer.
Thanks for your help

Let me first say I have never tried to do that...
I believe this is completely about the driver. 1 driver can only correctly identify one printer in print & scan prefs. I think you need separate drivers and separate ways to identify each printer. Like - another copy of the driver with different named file(s); and a printer utility that allows you to change printer name.
For Epsons the USB setup includes the Serial number - which allows the driver to differentiate. Does your driver do that? Maybe there is an alternate driver you can use for one of the printers? Check out the free Gutenprint driver. Search for gutenprint mac.

How can I share a folder between two users on the same mac?

Hi all,
I would like to share a folder between multiple users on the same macbook without having to transfer the folder to the Public/Shared folder.
Is there not a way, using the the folders shared permissions, to allow shared folders from one user to be visible and usable by another user on the same mac without having to move the folder to a designated shared location?
Regards,
Caleb

Thanks, but do you have to do that every time you share a folder?
No, you just need to do it once and that's it. Anything that is in the Shared folder is accessible by all user accounts within the same Mac.

I've read numerous 'how to share a folder' blogs and they just say it's as simple as clicking 'share' and allowing specific users to access it...none have mentioned this (not saying your advice is wrong at all, just don't get why no-one else has mentioned what appears to be a key step!)
Can you give me an example of such a blog. I suspect you may have mis-understood what they were saying but if you can provide a link, I'll look at it.
