How do I share my playlists with other accounts/users on my Mac?

Hello,
I have a similar question, which I posted 8perhaps inappropriately) in the Home Sharing discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17405588#17405588
The problem I have is that it simply doesn't work and the question I have is how you do not move the the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file when they are actually in the folder you are told by the article to move in the first place.

You can export the tracklist from iTunes. You shouldn't be sending actual music to them since that would be in violation of copyright.

How to share iMovie library with other accounts without duplicating files?

I'm looking for information on how to share an imovie library with other accounts on the same computer without duplicating files. If I copy imovie files to the shared folder each user is required to import the files to their library which duplicates the files. It would be nice if imovie had the option of including events/projects shared in the share folder. Is there an option to change everyone's default library to a shared folder? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

The easiest way to do this would be to atach an external drive. The external drive should be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). If you have a drive that is formatted some other way, you can reformat it using Disk Utility. It can be Thunderbolt, Firewire, or USB, but Firewire or Thunderbolt will give best performance for video.
Now you need to move the projects and events over to the external drive. This must be done from within iMovie.
In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK.
Now, in the Project Library View, hold down the command key while dragging the small icon for each project to the small icon for the external drive. Now select one of these projects and click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA. This will enable you to move associated Events, Photos, and Music to the external drive. Repeat for all projects.
If any events are left over at the end of this, because they are not used in any of your projects, you can move them to the external drive by working in the Event Library list. Hold down the Command Key while dragging the small icon for the Event in the Event Library List to the small icon for the External Drive. Repeat until all the Events are moved.
Now you can edit these movies on any user account.
For future clips that you import from a camera, be sure to select the external drive as the location.

Share specific playlists with specific accounts?

I've just begun setting up accounts for my family members on my iMac since we are all beginning to amass our own music/movies/videos/photos. Is there an easy way to have each account have access only to specific playlists within my iTunes library (which would be every song on the iMac)? I looked at sharing playlists in iTunes preferences but I don't see how to get it to work with each account.

I just reread my post and I see I'm not being clear....
I want the admin account to have the entire library while each user has access only to user-specific playlists.

Can i share certain photos with other iphone users via icloud

i want to share photos with other iphone users via icloud.how do i go about allowing or sharing access to only some of my photos to some people at work

Hey zubairl,
Thanks for the question. For Privacy, you must be the original owner of the calendar to share with others. Because you are simply subscribed to the calendar, you do not see the option for sharing. To resolve your issue, have the owner of the calendar “share” it with the recipient, or have the recipient subscribe to the calendar just as you have done (if you have access to the public subscription link).

HT4059 CAN YOU SHARE IBOOK BOOKS WITH OTHER IBOOK USERS?

Does anyone know if you can share books in ibook with other ibook users?

No, not unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account (which would probably be a violation of the Store terms of use).
Regards.

How can I share itunes music with others who use this computer??

I want to share my music with my granddaughter and she wants to share hers with me. We use the same computer but log in with different accounts. If the music is in the computer is seems there should be a way to share all the music. Can we do that??

There are sharing abilities built into iTunes. In the iTunes Help menu just type in "share."
I personally don't care for the way iTunes shares music. I have taken a different route. I use file sharing to share my Music folder with my wife.
From the Finder window right or control click on Music.
Select Get Info
At the bottom of Get Info click on the lock icon to unlock changes
Under Sharing click on the + to add access to another user.
Select you daughters id. and add her.
Give her Read Access.
Click on the Gear icon on the bottom and select "Apply to enclosed items."
Have you daughter do the same for you. You will now have access to each others music.
There are several ways you can listen to each others music.
To listen to just one song I just use the Finder method. Open Finder and click in the spotlight search field (upper right). Type in some criteria (i.e. Artist, partial title, album name). Files will appear in the finder window. Select the icon view option. You should see album artwork. Move your mouse over the track you want to listen to and your should see a play button appear. Not sure which OSX versions support this (10.6 does). Click on the play button. If you don't see a play button you can play by selecting Get Info. There is a play button in the preview section. You can also play with Quick View.
To listen to a playlist you will need a multimedia player like VLC (google it if you don't have it).
From iTunes you can export your playlist from File > Library > Export Playlist... (.m3u works well) Give your daughter read write access to the playlist file and from the Open With entry select VLC. (use the get info method)
Copy the playlist file to you daughters drop box in her public folder. Have your daughter use the get info function to make sure her copy still points to VLC and not to iTunes. If you open the playlist file with iTunes it may copy the tune files to her library. (don't want to end up with multiple copies of tunes on your Mac)
Double clicking on the playlist file will open VLC and begin playing. There is a playlist button on VLC to view, sort and select tunes from the list.
Phew! Hope that helped.
Dan
P.S. Haven't tested this with copy protected stuff.

How can I share a playlist with another iOS device that they can play when they're offline?

I have created a playlist in iTunes for someone in my family and have authorised him for home sharing. He can listen to the playlist when on our wifi at home, but how can he listen to it on his iPhone when he is away from home?

What you are asking isn't possible as devices must be logged in to the same wifi and with the same Apple ID for Home Sharing to work.

How can I share my location with other Lumia owner...

The Share location option on my Lumia 900 seems to generate a link that would not start Nokia maps on the receiving Lumia. Is it matter of settings? I looked everywhere...
As a result, I get a link to m.maps.nokia.com plus the coordinates. This calls the mobile version of the Nokia maps website. My friends with iPhones can share location with everyone and I can not share even with Lumia owners....
Any help out there?

How can I share my ical with other users on the same machine?

Having recently bought an imac I set up accounts for the family. I'd like to share a generic calendar with everyone that only the adults can read/write, but want to allow everyone to hold their personal calendars at the same time. All the accounts are on the same machine. Can this be done? If so how?

You can only do this by syncing your calendar to an external server - MobileMe is designed for this but if you don't already have a MobileMe account you can't start one now.
If you do have a MobileMe account the method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html#publicshare
If you don't, you could sync to Google Calendar (Google accounts are free) or wait for iCloud which should be out in a couple of months and will probably provide this sort of facility.
You might like to consider BusyCal which is like iCal Pro - similar to iCal but with extra facilities. It can sync calendars on a Lan and also between accounts on the same machine (you have to have fast user switching enabled).
There is a free trial available on their website: it's slightly cheaper from the Mac App Store. (I have no connection with this company).

How do I share edited photos with other apple devices.

Photo Stream does a great job of sharing photos between your mac, your ipad, and your iphone UNTILL you want to edit them. How do I edit a photo and then be able to see the edited version on all my devices? If I edit on my Macbook, the changes are made in the iphoto library. If I edit on my phone the changes are in the camera roll. But the Photo Stream image remains unchanged yet it is the only version that can be seen by all devices. Very frustrating when you edited a bunch of photos for better viewing, but can only see those changes on the device you made the edits on. Also, trying to remembering which photos you edited on which device is impossible. Any ideas on how to keep ONE editable photo database accessible from all your devices?

If you edit a photo in iPhoto on your Mac and then use the Share button at the bottom and select iCloud ➙ MyPhotoStream
the edited version will be added to the MyPhotoStream on all devices. It has to be manually added. It's not automatic.
If that edit is removed in iPhoto, i.e. Revert to Original, the edited version in My Photo Stream remains.

How do I share my reminders with others from my iPad/iPhone?

Has a solution been developed yet that allows you to share your reminders from your iOS device? I thought for sure with the iOS6 release that this functionality would be there, but I cannot find the option. And to make matters worse, it still seems like there is no way to access icloud.com from an iOS device. Apple really needs to address this. Sharing reminders or tasks is a fairly basic concept that I've been doing at work on Outlook for years. The solution of "you can only access icloud.com from a computer" is also quite rediculous. Many corporate web proxies block any sort of cloud storage websites due to privacy concerns. Why Apple will not allow you to access the website from one of their own devices is beyond me. Has anyone figured out a workaround for this?

Using iCloud.

How do I share video clips with others using the Starter Edition?

I have many videos on my Photoshop Album Starter Edition account. Is there a way to share videos using the Starter Edition program?

I wonder the same thing. The icloud.com web page is pretty rediculous as of now. What's the point of the page? Ive got an iphone that has my email, calendar, photos, etc.. what does the icloud page do? I think it's a work in progress cause I dont see a need to log onto it since my devices have all the info on it already? Yes, Id like to be able to log onto the icloud from work and see the pictures in my cloud.
