OS X V10.7 Lion :: Adding Group And Changing Account GID?
Apr 18, 2012
I am wanting to add a new user group with an ID of 1000, and move my main account into that group, then update everything that has the old GID with the new one. This is so that I can share files easier with another UNIX system I use without having to tweak the permissions for each file. I've done quite a bit of searching in the past couple days, but all I can seem to come up with are old, outdated instructions that don't work on OS X anymore.Â
Info:
15" MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2), 4 Gigabytes RAM, 500 Gigabyte HDD, 2.8 GHz Intel Core Duo Proces

I have several email accounts with different SMTP settings. So I may want to use the account from time to time but I don't need to be checking mail and downloading all the accounts. How can I set up a mail group to check mail from several accounts - but exclude one of the accounts (its duplicated you see). I am using outlook 2010.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Office Outlook 2010

I am trying to get access to a cvs repository using a client that runs OSx and a server running OSx. What is the OSX command to add members to a group. I think the unix command is group -m groupname username but there is no group group command in osx is there something similar in osx?

I would like a Smart Group which will display cards which are not in any group however when I create the Smart Group and use the following rules, I do not get any result appearing in the Smart Group:Â
Card > is not member of > any groupÂ
I have icloud enabled and also the defualt address book is icloud. Is there something I am missing when creating this smart group?Â

How do I reset my lost login account password on Macbook Pro OS 10.7.4.
Why is there no community checkbox for OS 10.7.3 or 10.7.4 when 10.8 is due within days?

Just looking for some realistic input on adding to/changing my current storage setup as I'm running out of space!
Current setup: Early 08' Mac Pro
External:
160gb FW drive for iTunes Music
Internal:
-150gb Raptor --> Boot drive/Apps
-750gb currently used for all other media
-320gb for windows
-1 tb for backing up the boot, media, itunes drives via time machine.
Now I'm pretty happy with the overall performance of the current configuration and my instinct is to keep the current internal setup but consolidate dvd/bluray rips from the media drive and music from the iTunes drive onto a set of larger external drives. Photos and other working media that need the speed of the internal would stay on the 750gb drive. Basically, I'm wondering whether that is the best/most cost efficient route and if it is, how would you set up the external(s). Single enclosure with RAID1, 2 separate externals (one backing the other up using something like superduper), firewire, eSATA, etc.? Granted my music and movies aren't the most critical files in the world but I'd like to make sure they are backed up. I'd say the most bandwidth intensive use I'd have for the externals would be streaming HD movies from the drive to my PS3 over a local network.

I was thinking about adding a standard account for day-to-day use for security reasons, but before I do that I have a question. -There is a checkbox under the standard account I created in the accounts menu that says: "Allow user to administrate the computer" What does that mean exactly? Am I giving it full administration rights?

I have a webmail account. It used to appear in my mail as its own separate mail box location (like 'on my mac' or 'icloud')
I had a whole set of folders set up for my emails in relation to that account.
I had trouble with that account last week and had to 'reload' the account and now all the folders have disappeard.
I am sure I have done something wrong in re-loading the mail account

Is there a way to set up e-mail accounts in my Mac mail that allow me to "send only" from them? For example, I have a couple e-mail accounts that I only use for commercial / e-commerce communication (airline tickets, eBay transactions, etc), but am otherwise not interested in setting up as an inbox because they simply flood with spam.
Is there a way to set up Mail so that I can choose to send a message as me@xxxxx.com (rather than me@mac.com); WITHOUT adding an inbox for this account?

I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the 4 finger gestures built into OSX? I've looked around and found no way to override them. If nobody is knows directly how to accomplish this I'd also be interested in knowing what libraries the handlers may reside in so I can poke around and try and do it myself.
I'm also interested in trying to find a way to make 3 finger tap do a middle click. Or something along those lines.

My iMac (10.5.7) is currently set up with me as the Admin user. I know that this is not recommended but it's been like this for a while and I'm considering setting up an Admin user and dropping my account down to a standard account. Is this likely to cause me any problems with the applications that have been installed over the months or is there anything I need to watch out for when doing this?

I have a very important email which i wish to recover.I changed my account in mail client, by deleting my exsisting pop account and adding a new imap account.My new imap account now has only messages from 5 days old. The email which i would like to recover is upto a few months old, I beginning to panic as I feel i may have done something i shouldn't of, and that particular is email very valuable.Is there a way to get it back? Yes i do have back ups, but my external hard drive decided to blow up on me at the worst time.I have also checked my server for that account and they have told me my pop account would have deleted emails once downloaded. I am with bluehost if that means anything.
