Yikes! I think I goofed permissions, but not sure...(help!)

Sometimes I sit at the wifey's computer to access my Aperture file which is another room residing on the hard drive of my machine. Well, sometimes when I'm at her machine and navigate (with Finder) to my computer wherein the Aperture file resides and attempt to launch it, I get a message that I don't have proper permissions. If I log in to my computer with my logon and password, I can access it, but to save time, I did the following:
I changed the permissions on my Aperture file and EVERY file and folder within to be "read + write" by everyone. Now I can launch the Aperture file from any computer on my home network, but I've got this sinking feeling that I've screwed up and I will have problems somewhere down the line (with Vault, Time Machine, or something sinister just lying out there waiting on me).
So, do you think changing all the permssions essentially was an error I need to correct (somehow)? Or, does it really matter if I control my home network and I'm not worried about security.
Any advice? Please?
Charles

Nuclear launch codes - now that's an idea...
Thanks John, I feel much better. I got to thinking that maybe, somehow, Aperture itself might overwrite some data unless it was protected or something like that. Whew, glad I didn't screw up. I have 14,000 family pics in one library alone! I have way too much time on my hands.
The Fast User Switching is definitely the way to go. I didn't even think of that.
Thanks again,
Charles

  • I have been able to sync my Q10 with outlook 7 for almost 2 years now but recently it doesn't seem to be communicating via USB and I think it may be because I just upgraded to 10.2.1 but not sure, HELP!!

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Check Windows Device Manager for yellow cautions for all BB and Rim Drivers and try to update if so, try to update anyway if no cautions.
    If the above does not help you should uninstall all drivers for BB or RIM listed in Device Manager, click View on the Menu in Device Manager then Show hidden devices.
    The drivers are usually found in these places, BlackBerry, Disk drives, DVD/CD, Modems (Standard modem only), Network Adapters, Ports.
    Once all are uninstalled unplug your phone if it was plugged in and power OFF your computer (not restart), power ON your computer and wait 5 to 10 minutes before plugging in your phone.
    Once you plugin your device wait another 10 min. before doing anything, BB software is slow and Windows is slow to recognize it so time is needed for drivers to install properly.

  • My daughter had list her iPod 4. She thinks its in house but not sure, it's turned off! Can the iPods wiped of her details she hasn't seen it for a week

    She basically hasn't seen it since last Monday so over a week ago that she can remember. She's pretty sure it's in house but iv downloaded the find my phone app ands it's offline! I just wounderd if atall it's been lost outside the house can it b wiped so the app doesn't work? Or will it always b hers? I brought it new and it's had only her details on

    If it is off it can be found via FIndMyiPhone. It can only be wiped if it is connected to the internet and you previously turned on FIndMyiPod
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • I've lost my cable for my Nano and need to get a replacement. Is it a 30 pin or 15 pin cable I need? I think it's a 30 pin but not sure.

    Which USB cable do I need to connect to my PC, 30 or 15 pin? I think it's 30 but not sure. Can you buy them in Currys / PC World. If so, how much? Cheers.

    Hi. It's the one with the 1" slot, approx, at the bottom next to the earphone plug. It's 8gb with a switch at the top left corner. Not sure if it's a 4th or 5th Gen as I've lost box too (Wife has had a clean out again) and it's not marked on the actual iPod. Thanks.

    Hi all help needed I have a canon 40D. I am thinking of buying a canon 6D.
    But not sure that my lenses will work.
    I have a 170mm/ 500mm APO Sigma.
    A 10/20 ex  Sigma   HSM  IF.
    And a 180 APO Sigma Macro or do I have to scrap them and buy others.
    ALL Help will be greatly received. Yours  BRODIE

    In short, I love it. I was going to buy the 5DMark III. After playing with it for a while at my local Fry's store where they put 5DMII, 5DMIII and 6D next to each other, using the same 24-105L lens, I decided to get the 6D and pocket the different for lens later.
    I'm upgrading from the 30D. So I think you'll love it. It's a great camera. I have used 5DMII extensively before (borrowing from a close friend).
    Funny thing is at first I don't really care about the GPS and Wifi much. I thought they're just marketing-gimmick. But once you have it, it is actually really fun and helpful. For example, I can place the 6D on a long "monopod", then use the app on the phone to control the camera to get some unique perspective on some scenes. It's fun and great. GPS is also nice for travel guy like me.

  • HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.

    I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.  When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does.  When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that.  Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

    I have an old gift card from 2 yrs ago, I am wanting to give as a gift, but not sure if it's expired. Can I check the balance w/o putting it on my account?

    It shouldn't expire - none of my cards have ever had an expiry date on them.
    If the card doesn't have its value written on it then the only way to see its value is to redeem it onto an account.

    There is no need for anyone to use 32-bit version anymore.
    Retail comes with both. Or you can save on just buying 64-bit System Builder disc.
