How can I share my iPhoto library with my wife's iPad?

Is it possible to share my iPhoto library (Yosemite) with my wife's iPad? She doesn't have a separate mac, but she does have her own apple ID.

No
You can share selected photos using PhotoStream - you can not share the library
Next year the Photos App for the Mac should be able to share the library on iCloud using iCloud photo library

  • 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.

  • How  can I share my contact list with my wife's iPad?

    I am giving my wife an iPad2 for Christmas and want to sync the contact list on my iPad to her new device. 
    Any suggestions?

    you cant do it from the ipad itself
    the best way would be to add the contacts to whatever you will set her ipad to sync with like coogle contacts or outlook or .......
    or you can set her ipad to sync them up to icloud connected to her appleID

  • How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?

    My wife and I have separate accounts in our MacMini and MacBook.  We each have an iPhone.  She uses GMail.  I use Mac Mail.  How can I share my schedule information with my wife on her accounts and devices?

    It is not advisable to follow the above suggested method. The following will do what you want without complications.
    1. On your Mac, go to http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479 and follow the instructions to share a calendar privately. If you have more than one calendar you want to share you will have to do each individually. You can choose whether she is able to edit it or whether it should be read-only.
    2. If your wife does not have an iCloud account she will need to obtain one. When you share a calendar and nominate her to access it she will receive and email. All she has to do is to open the email and click 'Join Calendar'. This will add the calendar to her Calendar app on all devices and on icloud.com without affecting any other data. Again, this will have to be done individually if more than one calendar is involved.

  • How can i share my itunes purchaes with my wife who is working in Dubai  while I am in UK she is so isolated and this would mean a lot to us

    how can i share my itunes purchaes with my wife who is working in Dubai  while I am in UK she is so isolated and this would mean a lot to us

    Just email it.
    In iTunes, drag the file to the desktop.
    On the desktop, select the file right click Share > email.
    I just want to send my sister one song from my iTunes because its a recording of her daughter when she was 2. She no longer has the file and I only have it saved in my iTunes from a long ago. The only known file is the one I have saved on iTunes.
    You do make regular backups of your computer, correct?
    Use Time Machine?

  • How Do I Share My Iphoto Library with another USer

    I have iPhoto5 on iMacG5. I share the computer with my wife and she has a seperate log in as a seperate user. My question is how to I share my iPhoto Library and albums with her on her user page?
    iMacG5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The article states "Make sure you have read and write permissions for the folder and then apply this setting to all enclosed items."
    That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm giving EVERYBODY full read and write permission by "Ignoring Ownership" on an entire drive. Incidentally, this can also be done on a partition.
    An example would be you would be able to edit a photo that you have downloaded i your user but not the other user.<<<</div>
    My wife and I have been doing that on a regular basis for several years and have never had an issue.
    Read the last paragraph.<<<</div>
    You misunderstood the wording. I'm NOT using the "Shared" folder. I've created something comparable to a really really big floppy!

  • How can I share my iTunes library with 2 iTunes accounts?

    How can I share my iTunes library between me and my wife?
    I do not want to set-up 2 seperate accounts on my mac. Do not want to do home sharing or anything like this. 
    I just would like to connect my iPad to ONE itunes library and at the same time connect my wifes iPad to the SAME itunes library. Can this be done? How? Thanks! Maybe the answer is something really easy like "just connect both to the computer and sync them".
    Thanks!

    Plug them in and use them.
    That is all you need to do.
    In the answer from Apple I do not find anything about how the 2 exisiting iTunes accounts will be handled.
    They will be handled fine.
    All purchases from both iTunes accounts can be sync'd to both/either iPads with no problem.
    I have three iTunes accounts (me and two daughters), 3 iPhones, an iPad and a few iPods.
    Any/all content can be sync'd to any device, no problems.

  • How do I share one Iphoto library with other User accounts on the same iMac

    I have created a shared Iphoto Library. When I add this to one of the user accounts, it copies all the pictures instead of sharing the same library. The result is that it uses memory.
    Is it possible to create a shared library that is shared by all the users without actually copy all the pictures to each users Iphoto library?

    Hi MikaelK,
    SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
    Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
    You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
    Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
    -both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
    -both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
    -Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

    SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
    You can try one of these three methods:
    1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
    The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
    2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
    3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
    4- I have also read about ShareAlike
    There is no other info on the site about how it works.
    I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

  • How can I share my iPhoto Library over internet

    My friend and I want to share our iPhoto Library(size 5.19 GB and growing). We don't live together so we are not on the same network.
    We were really hoping we could do this with mobile me. This is what we thought we could do with mobileme(but later found out it's not possible). Not possible but this is what we want to do: *We thought we would be able sync our iphoto library. This way we could work on or off line, make changes in iphoto have it auto sync and when he went to iphoto he would see the changes I made and he could make changes and I would see them when I went to iphoto. No one would have to manually sync or have to remember to sync.* On Mobile Me the sync function doesn't do it with iphoto. Are you aware of a company, software, or service that would allow us to do this?
    Of if you don't know of a way we can have it sync then do you know of a service that we can store our library on and work from. The key would be to be able to work on the file while it's on their server at a reasonable fast speed. Doing it this way nothing would be physically stored on our computers. It would be stored on somoene else's server.
    *Below are our options we are aware of using mobile me*(We are looking for other options:
    We thought we could use mobile me to sync, but it doesn't sync iphoto. We could use idisk(in conjunction to or .mac account). We would upload the library to idisk, then when we wanted to use it we would download it to our computer make changes and upload it and the next person could do the same. The only problem is with it being so large it takes a very long time to upload to idisk/.mac account and up to now I haven't been able to get it up on .mac(I just got off the phone with mac and we tried everything and it the idisk sync just fails everytime.)Even if it did work it's not what we are looking for. The other option I am aware of would be to use *Back to My Mac*(also part of mobile me). This would entail both of us leaving our computers on(not in sleep mode) and we could log on to the other computer and grab what we want make changes and return it.
    If you have other ideas please suggest.

    YOu can share photos via web galleries but not the iPhoto library directly - and even if you were on the same network there is no ability to sync two iPhoto libraries
    As to ahving your iPhoto library on the internet - no to that too - even a wireless connection to the library does not work - too slow and too unreliable - putting it on the net is not possible unless someone comes up with a giant step that direction
    in addition to web galleries you can upload to your iDisk or to a third party service - Back to my Mac I guess would be a way - you would have to update yoru computer and your buddies doubling your work and increasing the time a lot more than that

  • How can i share my ITunes library with 2 IPhones?

    My wife and i each have administrator rights on our accounts and both have an IPhone 3G. How can i share the single ITunes library on our MacBook so that the music is synced when we connect our IPhones.
    I have checked other posts but to no avail.
    Thanks

    Drag your \Music\iTunes\ folder to the Shared directory.In the Finder, right click - get info.
    Go to *Sharing & Permissions* tab and make sure everyone has Read/Write permissions and click the Gear and *Apply to enclosed items*.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library file_ in the \Shared\iTunes\ folder.
    Log out and your wife logs in.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library file_ in the \Shared\iTunes\ folder.
    If hse has music in her iTunes library that was not in your , sh eFile -> Add to library and select those items in her \Music\iTunes\iTunes media folder.
    Then she can delete \Music\iTunes\ folder.

    I regret to say that you need a new computer. That G5, as good as it still is, simply cannot run the required software to be used with the latest iPhones and other software.
