Hi,
I'm new to OS X and I'm wondering if it's possible to install an application for only one user. And then also to unstall an application for only one user. I have two examples below of what I'm talking about:
1) My OS X iMac has three user accounts. Following instructions I saw on another forum, I installed the DW CS5 trial within user1's account under /users/user1/user1Applications/dwcs5 -- thinking that as long as I didn't install it in the global /applications folder, then it would be restricted to user1 only.
However the DW icon appears on all THREE users desktops.
2) I installed SpiderOak (a backup program along the lines of dropbox, etc) and each account has it's own install. Now ONE of the user accounts is having a problem and I need to reinstall the software. Can I uninstall an application -- located in /Applications -- just for one user and then reinstall it?
Thank you so much for any help.
