IMac is not able to share multimedia files with multiple users on the same computer.

We just bought a new IMac that we were very excited.  We have phones Apple and iPads, replacement and ten year with a new Mac old PC made since.

Now, the trouble begins. For more than ten years Windows had several usernames on the same machine and have been able to have a shared folder only for music, pictures and video that my iTunes program and others could acsess and share from several user names. This kept all in one place for new photos families by me or my wife and our 30 gigabytes of music that comes from our CDs was available at bolt of us. Now in train to implement on IMac should be easy but is impossible.  after transferring the music to my login information, it cannot acsess all files on my login. I am not even able to share or provide his acsess. I can move the iTunes folder to my shared folder. She can get acsess now but iTunes says that the library file is locked. I worked with care from Apple on the phone for that sold, but they believe it will not be possible without creating two copies of the 30 gigabytes of music for each of us. who would take more hard drive when it failed too.  Sharing is not any help. These files were before iTunes. I'm not pay 30 dollars a month to store in icloudcor use a google reader slow to the Internet connection when everything's fine here. Apparently Applow programmers do not believe in sharing of multimedia files between two users on the same device, even if a PC does that very well. My choice here is so far have duplicates of all the photos, music and videos loaded on the disc for me and my wife, charge all the media for an external hard drive which for some reason any all Apple programs will share, or return the mac to another PC that will be able to make several connections with sharing music and photos. Apple if you are reading this you are 10 years behind on that. Not everyone is born in the last five years and bought their music on iTunes to be able to use home sharing. Home sharing cannot help this. your applications should be able to be told to use the media files shared without import copies to readers of the user. I am very disappointed. Someone else has any ideas for that?  I have pictures, not iPhoto. I have a week more to be able to return it. I'm not interested in making a fake account that is always connected to share or maintaining of me constantly connected. It should have been easy, I had to be happy to play with new software.

Photos, iPhoto and iTunes libraries must appear on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown below to be used by multiple users on the same Mac:

So get a properly formatted external HD and move your iPhoto/pictures of her as well as your iTunes library.  This way all your iMac users can access and use both libraries.

An alternative to the external HD method is to partition your internal hard drive into two partitions, one for libraries.  It is formatted as shown above and be large enough to contain the libraries and allow the expansion of libraries.

  • How can I transfer files between different users on the same computer

    I set myself upward under a different name on my laptop father but necessary for the transfer of files from the original user (IE my father'd Office) to my new! How can I do this?

    The following instructions assume that you want to have two users on the computer and you do not want to move some files from one user to another user.  If this isn't the case, skip the following and post a reply.

    If the above assumption is correct, log in with administrator privileges or the user who currently owns the files and click Start > computer (in the list of the menu Start right under Documents, photos, etc.) and in the computer, double-click the drive where the files are located and then double-click on the 'Users' folder and double-click with the record of the original user and work your way to the files you want to move.  Leave this window open (and possibly drag it to the right of your screen until the mouse touches the edge and it automatically resizes to fit the right of your screen or you can resize it manually).  Then repeat the same instructions (start > computer, etc.) but the second time, when you open the 'Users' folder, navigate to the new user.  The two windows open you can now drag files from one window to the other.

    I am tempted to say yes, "it is". However, given that you probably want to ask HOW do, that is: open a session under an administrator account, then copy the files to any profile folder to any other profile folder.

  • AUSST - not able to display XML files in order to verify the proper installation of IIS

    We implement our Adobe update server in a Windows Server 2003 R2 32 bit environment.  I followed Adobe technical notes on the configuration of the server with IIS 6.  I changed the settings in IIS, including the addition of the definitions of .xml to the asp.net web.config file located in C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG.

    The question we have is this: I am trying to check the file updaterfeed.xml according to the documentation, but it is not displayed.  I enabled the exploration of directory, which allows me to click each folder until I get up to the following path:

    http://ourServer/updates/Adobe/CS/webfeed/OOBE/aam10/win/updaterfeed.XML

    None of the xml files are displayed.  I checked for XML MIME type in the form:

    text/xml

    These are the lines I added to asp.net web configuration:

    "< add the path = 'generated' verb =" "*" type = "System.Web.StaticFileHandler" / >

    "< add the path ="*.xml"verb =" "*" type = "System.Web.StaticFileHandler" / >

    "< add the path ="*.dmg"verb =" "*" type = "System.Web.StaticFileHandler" / >

    "< add the path = '*.crl" verb = "" * "type =" System.Web.StaticFileHandler "/ >

    "< add the path = verb"*.sig"=" "*" type = "System.Web.StaticFileHandler" / >

    In addition, according to the technology Adobe note for establishing AUSST provides:

    As a simple test to verify that the web server is running correctly, make sure that the updaterfeed.XML files on

    the update server is accessible from browsers on client machines. Essentially, you must ensure

    that the web server works, independent of the Adobe update server configuration tool.

    Can you tell me what I missed, or point me in the right direction?  There is no ASP.net error in Event Viewer.

    Hi, thanks for sharing newspapers. of newspapers, it seems that this updatefeed.xml file has been corrupted.

    There are 2 steps to solve the...

    Remove /updates/Adobe/CS/webfeed/oobe/aam20/win/updaterfeed.xml (make a backup of it) by AUSST server setup and then run AUSST mode incremental synchronization (option 2).

    If this does not resolve also the question then please share the newspapers again. also agree with the updaterfeed.xml file.

    Thank you

  • How to share files and images between two users on the same computer?

    I am running as admin on my computer and I made a separate user for my girlfriend, but I don't know how to make so that it can access the photos I have on my user of its user. I tried to just copy the files from my user him, but which seems to make another copy files. This will be inevitably a little space and so I would like to know if I could just have one, single, copying a file that we have access to our users.

    Also, should I make another user for myself and leave the administrator for emergency purposes? I read something on ot that need to use an administrator account for daily purposes, and it is safer just have on the contrary another user with administrator privileges.

    Make a folder on the drive, something like C:\Pictures and then right-click > properties > Security and make sure that the user has full control

    Yes to the creation of a normal user account and leaving the admin account for administrative purposes.

    I hope this helps.

  • saving files between multiple tabs in the same race

    Initially I thought that it was a simple question, I had, but I spent some time trying to fix it and I'm out of ideas.

    The goal is to be able to record different tabs for a VI that controls an instrument, each tab is another mode of measurement. So, first I created a VI that I could press a power button and register a separate file for each press. I was able to do it without problem. Then I tried to add features to this VI to a tab structure. The goal is that I can press a power button and record a separate file for each press on one of the tabs (and in the course of execution, use each tab). However, regardless of what I have tried I can't seem to be able to save more than one tab at a time. The first tab of the race is functional, but then any subsequent tab is not.  I tried chaning the loop structure and how to write files, but nothing worked. I have attached a VI that displays the problem without the [extreme] amount of irrelevant information that has the original.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    You can't wait to operate through different tabs in a single pass without a loop around the code. Programming LabVIEW is based entirely on the data flow and parallelism. It is incredibly powerful and has led to its success over the years (coupled with graphical programming), but is usually one of the first things the new developers stumble on. This is a simple resource to familiarize themselves with its functioning. The function to highlight execution is a great way to watch how your application uses data streams.

    You must move your Boolean control within the structure of the event in the registry value correctly, and your code will lock up since you have several structures of events separated in the case of the tab.

    You won't like hearing this, but the tab control is incredibly dangerous because you can easily lock your code. What that means, ideally, you don't use control tab for appearances or subsections of your code you want to operate differently depending on whether the tab is selected.

    One of the first applications I made, which I was so proud of, had a tab control serving of main container for code inside. It worked fine for a while, but I found I duplicate a lot of code and then sometimes it would not close, so I have to throw the code to extinguish a fire after another.

    Notice how your tab case all look the same with minor differences depending on the boolean type and the measurement? This means that if you make a change because of a tab, you'll probably end up wanting to make this same change to all the other tabs and now your workload is tripled for a change.

    Look in the Computer of State Simple model that comes with LabVIEW. It really is the best way for new developers to get familiar with LabVIEW using a semi scalable architecture.

    Here is a large example of the works of a state machine:

    • States: Init, slowed down, exit, DoThing1, DoThing2, DoThing3
    • Each State contains code that could take some time. Ideally, not too long because this is how long your code might not meet.
    • The idle state contains a structure of event for all of the user interactions.
    • The front panel has a button that says "do the 1 thing.
    1. Loop iteration 0: Application starts, the first State is Init. Init State made the initialization stuff and tells the application to go to the idle state when finished.
    2. Iteration of the loop 1: request goes to the idle state. He's sitting there, waiting for the structure of the event.
    3. Time passes, and then the user presses the button 'do 1 thing ". There is no code or minimal code, within the occurrence of the event. The output of this state of the event tells the application to go to the State of DoThing1.
    4. Iteration of the loop 3: Application passes to the State of DoThing1. Here, there is code that does a few things. The output of DoThing1 State tells the application to return to the idle state.
    5. Iteration of the loop 4: Application goes to a State of rest where he waits again to the structure of the event.
    • Each State can tell the application to go to any State they want. You want to reset? Return to the Init State. You want to put an end to the program? Go to the exit State. You want each State to start another (such as a sequence)? Have DoThing1 out of DoThing2, which DoThing3, which outputs Idle.

    You can have a different status according to the types of measure do you use and the selection of the State may still be governed by the tab control.

  • I want to share address books between different users on the same PC

    Hello
    We have a PC with two different users, but there is only one email address shared between them. We have a copy installed Thunderbird one of each user and a user has multiple accounts for privacy reasons. It would be really useful to have a shared common address book to access addresses of. Is this possible?

    Cheers, Marcus

    Marcus,
    It's really simple comes to mind, but here are two ideas to consider, depending on how often Exchange address book:
    (1) if the shared e-mail address is gmail, each user can then install the add-on gContactSync and let Google have the master copy. That would give each of you frequent clocks to the same address book.
    (2) easy, but not automatic approach would be for a user to be responsible for changes and periodically (daily, weekly,...) export the address book to a ldif file. The other user could then import the address book on behalf of TB.
