Re: [MBZ] OT: How to divide my IMac

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Applications can run from anywhere, so not putting them in the  
Applications folder is fine until you need access to them from a  
different user.  Only apps in the proper folder show up for other  
users unless you search for them.


Glad you got it fixed -- I find the Mac so much nicer to use than a PC  
precisely for this sort of reason.

Thanks to Peter, I believe, I discovered there was a second menu of apps on
my IMac guest login screen.  Lo and behold, I discovered all the MS
software plus Chrome and Mozilla, ready to be dragged down into the dock
for use by my sig. oth..

Re: [MBZ] OT: How to divide my IMac

 As a matter of fact, this isn't a trivial question. My son did this 
for me on another iMac, and he had to partition the hard drive.


_Had_ to?  I can enter the grocery store by stopping outside,
bowing thrice towards Mecca, pirouetting once widdershins while
singing "la-la-la", and then striding purposefully in.

Of course, I can just walk right in, too.

_If_ you partition, you do so for reasons _other_ than just
adding another user to the machine.  Unix (and derivative)
operating systems were multiuser from Time 0.  (That would
be January 1, 1970!)  Adding users has always been nearly
trivial.

Every one of our OSX Macs has at least four user accounts on it.
One is partitioned, so that I can boot both Yosemite and the
Leopard of Mobility Challenged Water, which is required to run
my photo processing program.  (SL still has Rosetta.)

FYI, 6GB RAM and a SSD has really awakened this MBP.
Totally satisfactory at the moment.  Still only 8yo.

Re: [MBZ] OT: How to divide my IMac

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I think there's some confusion in the wording here.

You say "divide my Mac" yet you address a need for a user account that has 
write privileges on the machine.

If you need a guest account that has write privileges, simply log in under 
whatever account you have administrative rights with, go to the "Users and 
Groups" preference pane, and create a new "regular" user (one without admin 
rights).  That account will be able to create files and save them to their home 
folder on the machine.

Now

If you want to create a completely separate partition on the hard drive for use 
by another user, yes, that would require partitioning of the hard drive.

Considering that the permission structure on Macs is pretty robust, I'm not 
sure why one would make the effort to set up another partition for a user's 
storage. That's mighty extreme and not a good use of real estate.

What!?!  Hard drive partitions has _nothing_ to do with user
and group permissions, and _nothing_ with creating a user.

Within Mac OS, the user "guest" may have unchangeable
limitations, but any other user should be able to be added to
any group and given any privileges.

A hard drive partitions would change none of that.  Maybe both
were done at the same time - but there should be no tie
between the two activities.

Re: [MBZ] OT: How to divide my IMac

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

No, it wouldn’t.  However, you can certainly dual boot if you chose to, which 
is what I suspect was being attempted if someone was going to the trouble to 
create separate partitions.

I think Tim's on the right track, if you wanted to divide a Mac I'm thinking a 
chainsaw would do the job but it'd be mighty hard on the chain...

You'll notice he did not say "tech savvy".  I gather security theater goes
a long way in DC.

To the original question, obviously the best way to divide the iMac is to
donate it to a worthy charity.  Then its benefits can be shared by all.

Best,
Tim

Regardless of the level of paranoia, hard drive partitions

Re: [MBZ] OT: How to divide my IMac

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Wha? That makes no sense. Each user's data goes into their own users folder.
I suppose that when you write "partition" you really mean he reinstalled the OS 
and he might have done that because the system was installed in some kind of 
dopey demo mode and nobody knew the correct password to fix it.
If you've got an administrator level login adding another user is a trivial 
task.

  As a matter of fact, this isn't a trivial question. My son did this for me on 
another iMac, and he had to partition the hard drive. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G

Re: [MBZ] OT: How to divide my IMac

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

I have a Macbook Pro and IMac desktop .  Each has a guest login that
doesn't allow the guest to save data or files when logging out - the work
must be abandoned.  How can I create a second user rather than a "guest" so
that they can log in independently and keep/save their work when they log
out?

I thought of this immediately, but didn't have time to post then...

Sawzall!  You were asking about used for a sawzall.  Dividing and 
Imac would be another I had not thought of.

If it takes you more than 60 seconds you're doing something wrong.
And you're not 'dividing' anything.  Total disk space will be freely
shared.  In other words, either user can run you out of disk space.
