Hi folks,

I'm a new (one day old) imac user having converted from PCs, so hopefully this question will be a simple one. I purchased some software to use on the mac that I want all users to be able to use. This is a family computer, so that equates out to myself, my wife, and three kids. After I installed the software (I have the administrator account), I logged into the other users area and the software that I installed is not available to them.

How do I push the software install out to them?

Thanks!

    If you open your hard drive icon, you will see an Applications folder at the root level. Applications installed there will be available for all of the accounts on the computer. You may have installed the apps in your User home directory (Hard drive --> Users --> Home --> Applications) Those applications would only be available when you are logged in, no other users will have access to them.
