Is there a way to create user logins or some other grouping for a set of applications to use (memory) resources optimally -- for example only mail and Safari and Word in one grouping and another for Safari and an audio recording application, etc.?

I was just doing a superduper backup which failed halfway through because i didnt realise my wd passport drive that was plugged in was auto backing stuff up and there must have been a conflict. Now, I dont know what to do. Email accounts.gone. Any registered apps, still there but reg details gone, any and all system preferences (like trackpad setup just came to mind) gone. Dock and all the items in it and crap I made to ,make it look fancy. gone. Stuff that loads at the stuff...gone.
I know this must have to do with my user directory but wtf? I know my timemachine backup is fine as i did one before all the problems, but is my superduperbackup screwed? I cant stress how screwed I am, I got reports due right before xmas and im like at square 1 now.

I purchased App for MacBook. It is alternative to lock screen.Â
I set password etc followed instructions (no need of lecture me) and it has locked me out of my MacBook and the password I set up does not work...Â
Im just wondering if there is a way to delete this App without having to log in as the only other account on my MacBook is Guest. I can't use my Mac at all with this app as it will not allow me to enter my account
I have a mac pro running 10.6, and i'm trying to set up sharing only acconts.
I followed the apple KB article, and created a network sharing only account with a password, and selected a folder to be shared... here's the problem, no one can log into that account!
For example, account tilted Media is listed as a sharing only account, and has read access to "Array 1", however if i try to AFP in, SSH, or SFTP in, nothing will accept that username and password! (however I can do all of those with the actual admin account)
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Apple Mail, and I was wonderingwhether it's possible to have multiple logins for Mail on a single Mac. Here is my situation:
I have a small company with 5 employees who need to access their website e-mail using IMAP on a single iMac. We've been using the Horde web client which is horrendously slow and ugly. I would like for each employee to be able to use Mail to login to their e-mail account and then logout once done. This way employees won't be able to read each other's e-mails. I don't want to have different OS X root level login ID's because then my employees won't have access to all the files on the main admin ID.
i'm trying to setup isight to take pictures whenever there is an invalid login.
i've searched around and there seemed to be a pretty decent guide from a year ago but the authsight program link is dead.
i've looked into other programs like ialertu but i'm looking for a program that will take a picture(s) at invalid logins and email them to me. ialertu just attracts attention with the alarm noise and i've had trouble with receiving the picture in my email.
With any other browser automatic logins can be set for forums, homepage, etc. I have not been able to do this with Firefox...I have gone through every Preference page. The only setting I can find is under Security which has a checkbox for 'Remember passwords for site'. I have checked this but it don't seem to work.

For class evaluation purposes, I would like that one user could only establish one SSH connection o a OS X 10.4 server.
It linux I could mess with the /etc/security/limits.conf, but it does not seem available in OS X.
Also, in sysctl I could not see any suitable variable to set.

im new here and just bought a new macbook! so im new to mac as well.
i work for 24 hours, and i leave my macbook at home...now my roommate has people over all the time, and i know they try and use my macbook to play music. but they always deny it.
is there a program or way i can use the isight to take a pic, and see what password they are trying to type when they try and login?
is there a way of making the last few accounts that have logged in to be stored on the client computer temporarily, just incase the server ever went down? There is such a setting in Windows Server 2003, I'm just wondering if Apple has anything that does that.

Like the login here or other forums. I am still signed in. It clears some, but not all. Why is that?

They do not assist with connection problems. Result: No AppStore for me. So How do I upgrade to Lion? (The problem started when the Lion USB stick was not yet available)Â One possible solution is to buy a new MacBook. I may have to, because the one I am using is falling apart.Â
So, suppose I have this brand new MacBook and no connection to the AppStore. Is there a way to create a recovery DVD or USB stick from the new MacBook, without buying the official USB stick?Â
All articles about Lion recovery assume that you have an internet connection. I have news: not every internet connection counts as an internet connection as far as Apple is concerned. Funny thing is, that all updates to Leopard and Snow Leopard went without problems.Â

I created an Automator Service to restart my computer in Bootcamp (since I was getting very tired of having to navigate to the Startup Disk Prefence pane every time). What I would like to do, is make this service have a global keyboard shortcut. However, when I try to set one in the Keyboard Shorcuts preferences (i.e. double-clicking and holding down the desired keys), my computer just beeps at me.Â
I thought maybe it was not allowing the specific shortcut I was trying - thinking maybe it was already in use. So I tried many other key combinations - enough to come to the conclusion that this was not the issue.Â
