How can you share a iPhoto library with another account user

I have recently seen the light and swapped from Windows to my lovely new iMac. However I am rather confused how I can configure my iPhoto library so my wife can view the same library in her account on the same machine (this was a simple thing within Windows, using shared folders). Am I missing something or do I have to duplicate the same library and place into my wife's account and then update each time we upload some photo's? Please help!

This may not be the "neatest" solution possible, but it's one that works. Just as iPhoto makes it easy to share photos between computers on the same network, you can also share photos between accounts on the same computer; but you'll have to be logged in with iPhoto running.
1) Configure iPhoto in your account for photo sharing (from iPhoto, select Preferences > Sharing> Share my photos).
2) Enable fast user switching from System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options. This is the key to the process, which will allow you to remain logged in while your wife is also logged in. It's also a very handy feature if you and your wife use the computer a lot from your own accounts.
3) Enable "Personal File Sharing" and "Remote Apple Events" from System Preferences > Sharing > Services. [I had already done this step, so I'm not sure if it's strictly necessary]
4) With iPhoto up and running in your account, use Fast User Switching to log into your wife's account (ie, you remain logged-in). [The Fast User Switching menu will be in the upper right of the main menu bar.]
5) From her iPhoto preferences, select Sharing > "Look for shared photos" if it's not already switched on.
Your photos will magically appear in the left hand column of your wife's iPhoto application using the name you designated in your copy of iPhoto.
Caveats: performance is not very good, you must be logged in and have iPhoto running, HP printers (if you have one) don't work well with fast user switching
Other solutions might be possible by "drilling a hole" into your account by altering the Unix permissions. I've used this technique to make my iTunes library available to other users on my machine. Such a solution would no doubt improve performance.
Finally, there are third-party products that allow you to manage multiple iPhoto libraries. I've never used these, but they might allow you to load the iPhoto library from another account assuming permissions are properly set.
Hope this is of some use; I'm sorry if it's a little more complicated than you might have expected.

Can I share my iPhoto library with other users accounts on my computer?

My wife and I both have our own user account on the computer. Right now all the photos are on my account. If we put the iPhoto library in users/shared will this allow us both to access the photos?
Thanks.

Yes, this is exactly how I use iPhoto on my system.
You do need to update the permissions on the iPhoto directory after it's moved to the Shared folder. the default permissions will only permit your account to fully access the files, your wife's account will get errors or not see thumbnails correctly when accessing the pictures from iPhoto in her account.
After moving the iPhoto Library into Shared (and with iPhoto closed), Get Info on the iPhoto Library folder and change the Others access to Read+Write. Let it apply to all enclosed folders, also. Then hold down the Option key while starting iPhoto and choose the Shared version of the folder as your Library. Repeat the iPhoto launch w/option key on the other account as well and each user will access the same set of pictures, albums, keywords, etc. Just make sure you don't open iPhoto from both accounts at the same time. Close iPhoto before walking away from the computer or letting the other person logon.

Create a new iTunesID.
Use the same iTunes library.

HT3951 How can I share books and audio with another computer?

How can I share books or audiobooks with another computer?

You can't re-download audiobooks on any computer - they are currently a one-time only download. Music can be re-downloaded in some countries, they are listed on this page. But you should be able to copy your purchases from, for example, your backup and add them to the computer's iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library.

How can i share the pages application with another computer?

How can U share the pages application with another computer?

Just make sure it is for you or your family.
If you purchased Pages through the Mac App Store, then just login on the other computer using the same Apple I.D. and you can install it at no extra charge.

Can I share a paid app with another iPad in my family

Can I share a paid app with another family member

the key to sharing apps is that they all have to be on the same Apple ID. So if you have the same Apple ID on all the devices, they can share apps.
You may want to research into messages, etc because that can be one of the pitfalls of sharing the ID's.

Can I share "Ratings" and "Labels" with another person? When I send the photos to another person they cannot "see" any stars or colored label ?

You can convert your file to a .dng file and that will encapsulate the meta data into the file instead of it being in a separate side car file!

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??

I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??

If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't. I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's. The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848. It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs. 20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
Hope this helps.

Can i share my itunes account on multiple ipads?

Yes. I use the same. Apple ID/iTunes account on 8 devices.

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

Aperture 3 - share library with another user account?

Hi,
I'm trying to share the aperture library with my wife (another user account on the same computer).
I started to give her permissions to the file in <My User>/Pictures/Aperture Library. but it kept having permissions issues. So i changed the library to /Users/Shared and gave both of our users full read write permissions... but i keep having the same permissions error.
I know that we can't both access the lib at the same time but even though, accessing the same library would be a major breakthrough for us.
What am i doing wrong??
Please help

This is what I did, and I did not get permission errors.
1. Use Aperture 3.02 to create a new aperture library in the Shared Folder. I called it *Aperture Share.aplibrary*.
2. I added a few pictures just for fun.
3. Quit Aperture.
4. Go to the Finder and set File Privileges to Everyone Read/Write on the *Aperture Share.aplibrary* file.
5. Using Fast User Switching, switch to another user.
6. Open Aperture 3.02.
7. Switch to Library... >>Other/New...>>Other Library...>> . Navigate and select the *Aperture Share.aplibrary*.
That worked for me without permission problems.
Another question. Are all your pictures stored in an Aperture Library? If you have any pictures that are just referenced in the Aperture Library, this would most likely lead to permission errors.
