• Is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

  Hello world!

  Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

  I have two users say that A and B. If I go the long way via the 'Go' menu > 'Computer', I ended up being told to contact my computer or the network administrator for assistance. Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.

  Any ideas would be cool because I'm sure that it used to work fine with "Snow Leopard" without being connected to the internet - or should I just send an email to myself and recover the files on the other user :-) to recover my USB is

  Choose go to folder from the Finder Go menu, provide/Users/Shared/as the path and place the files.

• Ability to share scripts among users on the same Mac

  Hello

  In our design studio, we use InDesign with some scripts to automate tasks. The problem is that when a change of users from one Mac to another, scripts must be installed manually in the correct location. Is it possible that I can put the scripts in a folder (say/use/share/Indesign_Scripts") and that Indesign always uses this place?

  For now, I copied the scripts in the user model in / etc, but this doesn't always work because some users use different language settings (en_GB-> en_US)

  Hello

  Shortcuts are good, even if some people are getting lost in front of alerts "Cannot find the original file"..., but not in Design Studio, I'm sure.

  I tried another way that works, so there is no reason to keep this hide.

  3 types of scripts:

  -----------------------

  1 - simple one is placed in the 'Startup Scripts' folder of each user:

  It looks like this:

  #targetengine "menu"
  var myScPath = "~/Shared/Scripts/Studio_menu.jsx";
       if (File (myScPath).exists)
                    app.doScript(File(myScPath));
       else alert ("No network file find..., or whatever alert");
  

  -----------------------

  2nd is menu loader (' Studio_menu.jsx), so this one 1 script calls while ID begins.

  It looks like this: (thanks to Marc Autret)

  #targetengine "Scripts"
  
  var fcaTitle = "Scripts";          // name (parent menu item) displayed in ID menu
  var fcaSubTitle1 = "&Task1";     // name (name of script) displayed in ID menu
  var fcaSubTitle2 = "&Task2";    // name (name of script) displayed in ID menu
  
  var fcaHandlers1 = {
            'beforeDisplay' : function(ev1)
                      {
            mySc1Path = "~/Shared/Scripts/Task1.jsx";     // script, executor of task 1
            ev1.target.enabled = File(mySc1Path).exists;
                      },
  
            'onInvoke' : function()
                      {
                      app.doScript(File(mySc1Path));
                      }
            };
  
  var fcaHandlers2 = {
            'beforeDisplay' : function(ev2)
                      {
            mySc1Path = "~/Shared/Scripts/Task2.jsx";     // script, executor of task 2
  
            // conditions to enable/disable menu item
            ev2.target.enabled = File(mySc2Path).exists && app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.saved;
                      },
  
            'onInvoke' : function()
                      {
                      app.doScript(File(mySc2Path));
                      }
            }
  
  var fcaMenuInstaller = fcaMenuInstaller ||
  (function(mnuTitle, mnuSubTitle1, mnuSubTitle2, mnuHandlers1, mnuHandlers2)
  {
  // 1. Create the script menu action
  
  var s1mnuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add(mnuSubTitle1);
  var s2mnuAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add(mnuSubTitle2);
  
  // 2. Attach the event listener
  var ev1, ev2;
  for( ev1 in mnuHandlers1 )
            {
            s1mnuAction.eventListeners.add(ev1,mnuHandlers1[ev1]);

  for( ev2 in mnuHandlers2 )
            {
            s2mnuAction.eventListeners.add(ev2,mnuHandlers2[ev2]);
            }
  
  // 3. Create the menu item
  var fileMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.item("$ID/&Help");  // new menu item's location
  
  var SubMenu = fileMenu.submenus.add(mnuTitle,LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING);     // where
  var SubMenu1 = SubMenu.menuItems.add(s1mnuAction,LocationOptions.AT_END);
  var SubMenu2 = SubMenu.menuItems.add(s2mnuAction,LocationOptions.AT_END);
  
  return true;
  })(fcaTitle, fcaSubTitle1, fcaSubTitle2, fcaHandlers1, fcaHandlers2);

  3rd are the real script files placed somewhere in the network (mySc1Path1, mySc1Path2)

  Users call scripts in the menu.

• 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 to support multiple users at the same time?

  Hi all

  I have a Labview program that controls a parser via GPIB connector. When the user uses the software, user B must wait is made. But in fact, the parser is not very busy, when the user uses the software.

  I want A, B, C and D of the user may use the software at the same time. just as we can open several Web sites at the same time.

  How can I program the software, so that software can be opened several times? Do you have any examples?

  Thank you very much.

  Steven

  Parallel SALVATION,

  you want to use the same material in different forums at the same time? What happens if the user uses a different device as user B setting?

  There could be problems to access the port of connection (GPIB card) at the same time too...

  It's the same usual problem, you'll have to any shared resource. Instead of calling the same software several times at the same time you should make your software up-to-date with multiple users...

• How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in the folder of the user on the same PC (new), in Firefox?

  How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in the folder of the user on the same PC (new), in Firefox? I exported my old PC Firefox bookmarks in a folder [Windows 8] on my new PC.
  When I use the ease of importing from Firefox, it will only import a bookmark at a time - and then it inserts the bookmarks all the main pages on the site marked with a bookmark, not just the one I initially put bookmark. Also, it does not matter the information stored in the bookmark tag.

  Sure thing.

  1. Open the dialog box run by pressing the Windows key by pressing R
  2. Type of %appdata% in the immediate window and press ok
  3. Open the Mozilla folder
  4. Open the folder of Firefox
  5. Open the profiles folder
  6. Copy the folder that is located in this folder on a USB
  7. Install and run Firefox on the new computer
  8. Closing of Firefox
  9. Repeat steps 1 to 5 on the new computer
  10. Open the folder that you copied from your old computer
  11. Copy the contents of this folder into the folder inside the folder of the profile on the new computer
  12. Allow Windows to replace all records in doubles with those you are copying to the computer is prompted

• Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the e-mail and the password

  Original title: Multi users

  Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the email and password every time that a new user want to check emails?

  Hello

  Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. According to the description, you need help in the creation of multiple user accounts. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

  What is the operating system installed on the computer?

  User accounts, several people can easily share a single computer. Each person can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a screen saver or desktop background. User accounts control files and programs users can access and what types of changes users can make to the computer. As a general rule, you'll want to create standard accounts for most computer users.

  If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, see the article below:

• Two users on the same PC. How to run the application even for two users at the same time?

  Hello friends,

  I have two user accounts on my pc. Is it possible to run the same application (for example: DEFRAG or disc cleanup utlities) for two users at the same time? I mean, these utlilities work by all of the computer or user account? That would mean the same application to perform for a single user in the background and foreground to the user, or I'm totally lost in space?

  Thank you for your comments

  You should run Disk Cleanup in each user account. Do not try to shut it down or change user when defragmentation; system files may be damaged. You must stop the defragmentation, log off, restart the defragmentation and don't really no point for it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Parameters for the single instance of DCOM for multiple users on the same machine

  I have a DCOM on a Windows 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition machine. I would like to be able to open an instance of the DCOM and have it accessible by multiple users on the same machine, i.e. users connected to Windows accounts.

  What settings will do? In the tab 'identity' in dcomconfg for my DCOM object settings, I tried "interactive user", 'the user running' and 'this user', all three lead to the same result: start a new instance DCOM on easch Windows of the connected customer accounts, despite the existence of bodies being already running on other accounts. This baffles me, especially with the third alternative, 'this user', which should certainly lead to all proceedings being started by this specific account? This is not the case. Any help would be appreciated!

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)
