Why does each Creator user need their own install?

Seems to break the Unix paradigm, install one copy of software and all the users can use that same set of executables.
Over 600MB per user is a little heavy, don't you think? That's before doing anything.

Hi curmudge1,
The source of the issue is in the installation of our PE as we create the domain within the installation directory. This will cause problems when multiple users run Creator, as the Application Server cannot be modified by your users.
I believe there is an RFE filed on this. Several people have requested this in the past, so hopefully we'll have it fixed in the next release.
If this fix is integrated in a future release, you should be able to run multiple instances using a single installation directory with different user directories, etc.,

Is it possible to manage 3-4 iPods from the same laptop? Each iPod owner needs their own iTunes account, correct?

I've used an iPod for many years, and now that my kids are old enough to enjoy their own, with their own music, I want to to buy each one their own shuffle. I just don't know if it's possible to manage all of these different music libraries from one computer. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Entirely possible. If you create a different Windows login for each user, then everyone will have a distinct library by default, located in:
C:\Users\user1/Music\iTunes
C:\Users\user2/Music\iTunes
etc.
In this scenario it is a good idea to disable fast user switching in iTunes, so that you can't have multiple users logged in and running iTunes at the same time. This is probably the best solution, especially as it provides the simplest upgrade path to the time when your children have their own computers. The only real downside here is that it is a little more difficult (and not automatic) to share music between the libraries.
You can also have multiple iTunes libraries under a single Windows login, though this is a little more awkward to set up and use - everyone will need to hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes and select his/her library based on the location of the appropriate iTunes database file.
Last option would be to have one Windows login, one iTunes library, and just use different playlists associated with each user's iPod.

Why does TextEdit & Safari scroll on their own?

Why do TextEdit & now Safari scroll on their own? (That's both Up & Down and Side to-Side. I don't need to use my mouse.) It is so frustrating. [As it scrolled on its-own when I typed this very message, several times.]
Maybe I need a new copies? Grrr! :-( Hey Apple, I feel that I deserve better! Gosh: I paid to get this? <Gruff!>
[My first Apple was a MacPlus, which I bought in 1984.]

I noticed an error in grammar after I posted my original message. At-first my complaint was about TextEdit, alone. Then Safari acted-up & I forgot to change Does to Do.

Fleet phones: Why must each user have their own App Store account?

I've purchased roughly 25 iPhones for my employees and am trying to lumber through the tedious process of managing these as fleet assets. There are a handful of mission-critical apps I'd like to deploy. I've signed up with an MDM platform (Bushel). I've enrolled in both of Apple's fleet programs (VPP and DEP). And, still, I'm running into precisely the obstacle I'm needing to get around: the requirement that every user has their own individual App Store account, with a Credit Card number on file, etc.
Why must this be? These are company-owned phones. Most of my employees are unionized and, quite frankly, the union is none too happy about the nature of the apps I'm deploying (which have to do with GPS tracking and time/attendance). I simply cannot require my union employees to sign up for an account in their names and require a credit card number.
Even lowly Blackberry figured this out a long time ago. If Apple is going after more fleet business, they need to become more fleet friendly.

I did some searches before my post, but actually found some things AFTER I made my post that sounded encouraging. If I understand correctly, we should be able to continue sharing the AppleID we use to buy apps and music on all of our devices. We can configure our personal devices and computers to use separate personal iCloud accounts, but somehow share the music and apps with each other. I guess I'm still not clear on how it'll work. :-)

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

You can use the same ID. See the following in order to allow Messages and FaceTime among all users of the same ID

Can we split accounts so each person can spend their own money, but still share the same librar

right now we have one itunes library, one apple id and 2 devices. so when we put an itunes card on the account, it is a race for who can use up the $ first. We are adding a 3rd device. I want to split the accounts so each person can spend their own money, but i still want them to share the same library(the library is in a shared area on the computer)
we have been thinking about just setting up a new apple id for the new device. i am worried that when we sync, that it will wipe out all the existing stuff.
Thanks for your help.

You can create as many individual user accounts on a Mac as you like. Then, any one or more of those users can remotely log in from another Mac and use that Mac as their own, simultaneously. Each account will remain separate from all others.
However, since each user needs to have a Mac to do that, I'm not sure how you could effectively double the number of users as you describe.

Users marking their own responses as correct?

What is the deal with Users marking their own responses as correct?
I go under the assumption that if something is marked as Answered, it means that I've SEEN THE ANSWER.
If someone other than ME marks MY question as ANSWERED, it drops off my Radar.
Very, very dysfunctional. I track UNANSWERED question!
PLEASE STOP IT!

Hi Matthew
First, capitalizing is really not needed. I do understand your frustration, but honestly...
Now, I will come clean and admit that on occasion, in my role as a moderator and editor of SCN, I have marked posts as answered. This will usually happen if I see that the post is a number of days old without a response to what I believe (OK, know) was the correct answer. I do this for a few reasons:
1) Many OPs do not mark their posts as answered. Would be nice if they did...
2) Many OPs make the answer as "Helpful", even though it is DE answer. I will then change this to answered.
3) Posts marked as answered are much more likely to be looked at than abandoned post with no further feedback as to the posted answers being correct or not.
4) Marked posts make it obvious that these forums are active and do provide answers consistently.
I could go on, but I hope I get my view across(?).
Oh. BTW., I may mark my own replies as "Answered" . It is not something I do to gain points. For one, I do not get points for marking my replies as "Answered" (it the way SCN works). For two, I really do not care about the number of points I get. I do not get measured on it and there is just nothing in it for me. Other than keeping the forums alive, vibrant and well.

Double backup two MacBook Pros each physically connected to their own external disks?

We have two MacBook Pros 17" (an early 2008 and a late 2011) connected by WiFi, both running OSX 10.9.3 and each physically connected to their own My Book external disks. After I started the first MacBook Pro's backup to add the second MacBook Pro's external disk, I couldn't set up the second MacBook Pro's backup to add the first MacBook Pro's external disk. Each of these My Book external disks had previously been used for backing up each MacBook Pros. None of the help pages helped.

On the computer to which the drives are connect enable File Sharing via Sharing preferences. Select the drives you want shared and CTRL- or RIGHT-click then select Get Info from the contextual menu. In the upper pane is a checkbox labeled "Shared." Check the box to enable sharing the device.
On the other computer select Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu. Click on the Browse button to locate the shared computer. Double-click on the icon which should bring up a login dialog. Log into the admin account of the shared computer using the Registered User button. You will then be prompted for the admin password of the account. Enter it and click on the OK button. This should connect you and provide access to the shared computer and devices connected to it that have been marked as shared.
For more help select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing."

Why does my home user name not change when I created a new administrator

List all users and their own roles.

Hi everybody!
I have to make a list of all sap users and their own separated roles by user. There are any transaction to do it? The SUIM transaction gives me a sap user and their own roles, but if I try with a lot users It gives me all the roles that are using those users but don't give me the roles for each one.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.

Hi Reynaldo,
You can go to SE16 -> table name "AGR_USERS" and see the records for all users. Arrange them in ascending order by name and you will get the report what you have mention above.
Download it and put it in EXCEL.
Best Wishes.

Why does my mac reboot on its own?

Why does my mac reboot on its own?

Oh den.thed... I saw your post this morning and I was so excited.... ran to the Mac and got to Energy Saver, and... the checkbox is already unchecked.
Long story, I'll make it short. Just got the Mac back after having the HDD replaced. (It stopped working after less than 500 hours.) This rebooting thing has been happening ever since I got the computer in 2010, and I was hoping it would coincidentally stop happening after having this crashed HDD replaced last week. No such luck. Still doing it, even after getting the computer back from Apple. Two of my kids have macbooks, have used the cr*p out of them, and have had very few problems (nothing big). I bought this Mac, to replace a dead Dell desktop that got very little use, and so far I am not sure I did the right thing. Really wish I could get this "automatic" rebooting thing fixed. (Reboots with no notice, while doing normal tasks - internet, word docs, etc.) Thanks again for your help. Let me know if I should try anything else.
