Will Disk Copying Continue in Another Login Account?

Will Disk Copying Continue in Another Login Account on the Same Computer?
This is likely a very dumb question, but nonetheless here goes:
I am logged into my Mac (Yosemite) under my admin account and I start copying data to or from an external hard drive. The amount of data being transferred is large, so it takes a long time.
Now my kids want to log into their standard privileges account to do their homework while this copying process is going on. If they do so, will the data transfer with the external disk still continue, or will something bad happen?
Related to this, does it matter if they simply log in as an additional user, versus me logging out from my admin account and then them logging into their user account?
Thank you!

As long as you don't log out, it will continue to copy. Just use Fast User Switching.
If it is not already enabled, you can enable it in Users & Groups system Prefs, Login Options.

  • How to copy information from a user account's Security tab of Active Directory User and Computer Security tab to another user account?

    Hi, I'm using vs2012
    Grammatically, by C# code, I need to copy a user account's Security (from ADUC Security tab) and apply it to a new user account I created by code.  My application creates new AD accounts when needed.  I need to duplicate/copy attribute from another
    user account that we use as a base template.  I can copy most other attributes through property["xxxxx"] but how do I copy all that permission access information under the ADUC Security tab?
    How can I do that?  Thank you.
    Thank you

    I would recommend asking them in C# forums: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=csharpgeneral&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

  • Firefox doesn't work right under my normal login account, but is fine under another account. How do I clear my account settings in my normal account?

    Shortly after installing FF4.0, it rendered a local (on my hard drive) website incorrectly. One page, with frames, has more than 1000 list entries each containing a link to another page. The links suddenly become plain text after a few hundred lines of rendered text. Other browsers render the page correctly, as FF did earlier as well.
    Then FF began to crash. When I googled "firefox crashes" it crashed as I clicked the mozilla site link provided by google.
    I followed various trouble-shooting pages on the mozilla site, but could not isolate the problem to any extension or plug-in. The problems persisted even with no plugins and no extensions. I backed off to FF3.6.12 and got the same problems. I logged into a different account and the problems disappeared.
    I clearly need to completely uninstall FF in my main login account and reinstall it but I haven't been able to find all the files that need to be trashed.
    What do I do?
    best,
    Lou

    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).

    Terribly sorry Joseph Kriz. I had absolutley no intention of annoying anyone. This was the first time I have been communicating in a discussion group, and as I wrote my comments I had no idea how my typing would reflect and where my question would be going. Hope my unintentional typing will be forgiven and causes no further agitation.The only additional comment I can make on your response is that "I do not use capital letters or CAPS LOCK while I try to enter my administrator password". Thank you for guiding me

  • Hi I have an 80G ipod classic, It is a few years old and i have recently updated from a pc to Mac. When i connect my classic to the Mac it tells me that this ipod is synced to another itunes account ! If i restore i will loose all my music. Help!

    I have an ipod Classic 80G. It is a few years old and hasnt been used for  a while. I have just tried to sync it to my new Mac and it says theat thei ipod is synced with another itunes account!!!
    It was orriganally managed through my old pc but as far as i am aware the itunes account is the same. If i sync with my mac it will remove all that is in the Classsic and replace it with current itunes!
    How can i get round this ?

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.
    More details here >  iOS: Syncing with iTunes

  • Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

  • I had music that I copied from disks into itunes on another computer, I no longer have that computer. Is there a way to get that music I previously had on itunes and put it on my current iphone?

    I had music that i copied from disks into itunes on another computer, I no longer have that computer. Is there a way to get that music back from itunes?

    If you failed to maintain a backup copy, then you would have to import the disks again.

  • My iCloud on my phone is undJer another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

    My iCloud on my phone is under another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

    You have to delete the iCloud account but you can keep all your data such as Contacts, Calendars etc. when you delete the account you will prompted to "Keep on my iPhone".
    All your purchased content (like apps and music from iTunes Store) belongs to the original ID and you have to re-Purchase them under your Apple ID.
    Photos in Camera Roll remains in Camera Roll.
    Photos in photo stream that are not in Camera Roll must be saved in Camera Roll.
    Photo that previously synced from iTunes remains in photo library until you synced with another iTunes library (another computer).
    Also sign out from iMessages, FaceTime and Home sharing (Settings>Music)

    I understand this product comes with 2 licences but am hoping to retain the extra for another pc.

    My experience (limited) has been to expect it to be installed automatically for all users.
    What seems to be missing on the new user account?

  • It is very annoying when I am at a favourite web site and Firefox will not automatically redirect to another page. It is so continuous and I have to "Allow" through the whole time I am at my favourite web sites

    # Question
    It is very annoying when I am at a favourite web site and Firefox will not automatically redirect to another page. It is so continuous and I have to "Allow" through the whole time I am at my favourite web sites.
    Here is one of those sites:
    http://conservatives4palin.com/

    You can make it automatically redirect by doing this:
    1. Go to: Tools > Options > Advanced > General
    2. Untick the 'Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page' option
    3. Click 'OK'

  • Disk drive continues to eject digital dvd copy.

    I recently puchased blu-ray with digital copy combo.  I tried to load digital copy to redeem but disk drive continues to eject digital dvd without reading it and no dialogue box.  How do I fix to redeem movie?

    If disk drive rejects ONLY that disk, then you have a compatibility issue with that disk or that generation of disks. What about other optical disks, CDs or DVDs? Do they behave OK? If a superdrive, test recording a CD or DVD using a rw disk. If all is OK, the answer is simple: that very disk is not compatible with that generation of optical drives.
    that generation of optical drives cannot—for sure—run blu-ray disks.

  • How do I transfer files to another user account?

    As you can tell from the thread title I'm completely new to all things Mac.  Please forgive my ignorance and this long winded post.
    So I setup my new 27"  iMac, installed Lion 10.7.? and applied all the updates (to 10.7.4).  Then I installed MS Office 2011 for Mac and downloaded all the updates for it. All went well and was refreshingly simple.  I did all of this thinking that I would need Office installed to make the migration from my PC's Outlook files to work properly.  Then i ran the migration assistant and it worked just as advertised.  Little did I know that it was creating another user account and it's folders to put the files into.  I know, read before jumping into things!  Well all of my files are in the new account that the migration assistant created and all appears well in that regard.  The only glitch is the emails all went into the Mac client, but they are there, my accounts are up and running and looks like it did what it's supposed to do.
    What I need to do is copy or move everything on the new user account over to the original account I setup.  What would be the best route to take?  I transferred about 125 gig of data in total.  I'm thinking that a fresh install and starting over is the route to go, but it's my understanding that a clean install isn't real easy on Lion and above.
    I can already tell that when I get everything situated that I'm really gonna be cussing myself for not going to Mac 5 years ago when I started to.  The graphics on this new iMac is amazing!
    So what are my options?  Figure out a clean install?  Or move/copy the folders and nuke the 2nd account?

    You can reinstall Lion by starting up in Disk Recovery mode. Hold command-R during startup. You will need a fast internet connectiona as a re-download of Lion is required.
    Once you have re-installed Lion, you can proceed to migrate your PC data using Setup Assistant.
    Moving and copying your files will require an external drive with permissions ignored (that is the default for OSX).

  • Open another itunes account on same computer

    First i set up another user account on the same mac and then have my own separate itunes.  Then after transfering my song library to the new account, will the songs that i purchase from that point on be automatically placed in both libraries on different computers?

    No.
    Different computers? You only copied the files to a different login acount on the same computer.
    You need to copy the files to the other computer.
