How can you share books with family members?
I purchased a book in iTunes and it's on my library shelf. How can I share this book with my sister?
If she has access to your Apple ID she can have your iBook on her device. If she syncs to the same computer, just sync it to her device. If she syncs to a different computer, copy the book from your iTunes library onto a flas drive (you'll find it on your hard drive in iTunes>iTunes Music>Books; it's an .epub file), then authorize your Apple ID on her computer (iTunes>Store>Authorize this Computer), then add the book to her library (iTunes>File>Add to Library) where she can sync it to her device.

No, ibooks from Apple are tied to your iTunes account and they can't be lent or transferred to other accounts.

Silly question, but can you share apps between family members (iPhone)?
My wife has just purchased an iPhone awaiting del.
Question
can you share your apps or not?
if she has her own apple id...
I would think not as I cannot seem to find anything to suggest it.
But thought i would ask the community.
and is there away around it??????????
thanks againEDIT: It seems Apple have changed the AppStore Terms and Conditions since I last read them thoroughly.
Here's the relevant sections:
If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
(ii) An Associated Device can be associated with only one Account at any given time.
(iii) You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days.
(iv) You may download previously-purchased free content onto an unlimited number of devices while it is free on the iTunes Service, but on no more than 5 iTunes-authorized computers. -
Can I share books between family members with different Apple IDs?
I am trying to share books within my family as we were always able to do with home share in iTunes. Is this possible? I can phisically move the book file, but must sign in as my Apple ID on my wire's system, effectively removing her library from her iBooks and replacing it iwth mine. All I want to do is share the book I bought. How can I do this?
Thanks for the link. I looked at this and tried it and it sync'd my wife's iBook with my account, so she now had my Apple ID logged into her iBook. I'd like to be able to share my iBooks with her, but add them to her library as we were able to do with Home Sharing in iTunes. I want her to be able to use her Apple ID with iBooks, but be able to read some of the books I buy on my account. Does that make sense?
Thank you. -
Before LR, I used photoshop, and saved my edited and non edited pictures to a NAS drive which had read only file sharing, so all my family could browse and view the photos.
asSince using LR 3, all my photos have been locked up in LR, with no usable way for anyone to see them. The only thing I do is tediously save some processed pics in small size, then upload them to facebook. Howwever, my vast library of photos is locked up in LR.
My 4 year old daughter LOVES to look through them, but there is no option to give her READ ONLY access.
I tried installing the ipad app, but this is useless for this purpose for 3 reasons:
a) I have to sync each collection manually, no search options.
b) a few swipes with her tiny fingers, and my collection is wiped out as it syncs her "changes" back.
c) I have over 1TB of photos, and to sync this with Adobe would take months if not years, even if it only uploads the smart versions.
What I, and probably all family photographers need, is a read only app (and possibly website) which can browse the entire repository of an LR catalog, or at least something like a read only version of the current app which requires each collection to be uploaded to Adobe (not something I really want to do - my local network is fine, and much faster, than a rural internet connection).
How hard could it be to add a read only flag for mobile app, or a read only guest version of the app, or a basic web server to LR?
Personally I would never want to edit my photos on my android phone, it seems like a gimmick, but I would want to show them to people, including daughter/mum/friends, and let them browse on my phone. If anyone knows a way to do this, let me know.
Its such a shame to have 40 years of amazing, categorized and tagged pictures locked up on my laptop, where no-one can view them.
I tried the below link where there are some share options I have not been able to try:
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
as it simply says "you have no synced collections" and tells me to download lightroom, when a) I have synced collections, I can see them on the android app, b) I have LR 5.6 and LR CC both installed on my machine.I tried to figure out what you were asking about, and realized that I did not see the synced collections either. But then I realized I was logged in to the wrong Adobe account - my wife is the actual subscription holder. not me. But I stay logged in as myself to participate in these forums.
So I logged out and logged back in as her, and still didn't see the collections. I closed the page, reopened it, closed it again, and I wish I could tell you why, but the collection I have synced to Mobile showed up.
So there is a perfectly good web site, you just need to get logged in properly I guess.
I clicked on the sharing options icon and this is what I get. I redacted the URL for obvious reasons:
You can allow the viewer all, or picked, unflagged, rejected. I don't see a way to make it completely read only. Just don't teach anyone how to flag or pick a photo. -
How can you share audiobooks in family sharing?
We use Family Sharing in our family. But on the "purchase" items in iTunes on ipads and iphones there only appears Music, Films and TV Programmes. No Audiobooks. Did Apple just forget them or can I find them somewhere else?
Audiobooks are a one-time only download (which I think is a restriction set by audible.com who supply them to Apple) - you will need to sync/copy them onto each device or computer that you want them on, they won't show in the cloud for redownloading.

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 documents with different users on the same mac?
How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?
Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
The second is a bit trickier. -

How can I share photos with others in other places using ICloud?
If you have iPhoto on an iOS device rather than a Mac, you can create a 'Photo Journal', which is an online gallery hosted on iCloud: details here -

This facility is not as yet available in iPhoto on a Mac. If you don't have an iOS device you will need to find a third-party alternative. This page examines some options:
