How do I stop an automatic 'sharing' of my files with another Mac user in my address book?

Hi all
I have just installed Lion and it has started to 'share' access to other mac users files - all of which come from my address book. How do I stop this and delate the links that have been created ? Very embarrassing right now - some of these people are my clients!

Pamachi --
The easiest ways are through FaceTime (video calling) or actual screen scaring via iChat.

  • Sharing files with another mac

    I have some videos on Iphoto that I want to share with another Mac via the cloud. How do they find it on their computer?

    One of the most secure way to share files over the internet is to use an sftp server.
    Goto your system preferences-->sharing-->turn on remote login.
    Then on your router's or firewalls port forward tcp port 22 to your mac. Then you can log into each others mac using an SFTP client such as transmit or cyberduck.

  • Sharing web updates with another Mac user

    Old Toad, I read your previous instructions from a couple of years ago about sharing the Domain folder with another user.  I found the Domain file, and uploaded it to DropBox and shared it with the domain owner.  He sees it in his dropbox but as separate files in the folder.  How do I instruct him now?  I can't even find the Library/Applications Support/iWeb file from where I got the domain file.  It doesn't turn up in FInder so how can I tell him where to go?  Any help gretefully appreciated.

    Where is he viewing the contents of the Dropbox?  If it's online then all he'll see are the contents of the domain package. If you use the deskltop Dropbox application on each machine to synce the domain file this is what you'll see in the local Dropbox folder: 
    Don't try to access the domina file online, just in the local Dropbox shared folder.
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home()/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Sharing an i book created in iphoto with another .mac user

    I need to have another .mac user look at an i book that I have created in i photo. Does this person have to have a .mac website for this to work? If not, how would he view this?

    Thanks so much for your answer, I saved it as a PDF and stored in
    on iDisc in the public folder as you suggested. Now he can access that
    by going to his iDisc, and 'Other User's Public Folder. Thanks for your
    help. Are you with Apple, or just an individual?
    Laurie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you want your
    friend to be able to work with the book in iPhoto or
    just look at it?
    If it's just look at it then do a Print to PDF and
    send them the pdf file. If it's too large to email
    then you an post it to your Public folder on your
    iDisk for them to download.
    If you want them to work on it in iPhoto then there's
    no easy way to accomplish that. One method would be
    the following:
    1 - duplicate you iPhoto Library folder and name it
    Book Library.
    2 - open the Book library (launch iPhoto with the
    Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to locate
    the Book library and open it.
    3 - delete all of the photos except those in the
    book, all albums, slideshows and any non book items.
    4 - now you can either burn the Book library folder
    to a CD and get it to your friend or make an archive
    of it (Control-click on the Book library folder and
    select Create archive in the contextual menu) and
    upload that to your iDisk Public folder where your
    friend can download it.
    You friend can then unzip the library folder and open
    it as noted above.
    Do you
    Twango?
    TIP:
    For insurance against the
    iPhoto database corruption that many users have
    experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the
    Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If
    problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any
    photos or thinks there are no photos in the library,
    replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the
    backup will often get the library back. By keeping
    it current I mean backup after each import and/or any
    serious editing or work on books, slideshows,
    calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem
    pops up and you do need to replace the database file,
    you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long
    to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application
    (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that
    will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your
    iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder,
    replacing any previous version of it. You can
    download it at Toad's
    Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf
    file.

  • Sharing files with other mac users on iCloud

    May I share files I store on iCloud with other users?

    If you want to try online sharing you might like to look at SugarSync:
    https://www.sugarsync.com/products/sync_sharing.html
    - this page says:
    Collaborate with shared folders
    SugarSync keeps all your shared files up-to-date and in sync for powerful collaboration with your virtual team. With folder sharing, you can collaborate on projects by giving a person, or a group of people, access to a shared folder on your computer. No more wasting time emailing individual files and tracking the latest versions. Just send an email invitation to your clients, coworkers, or family members to join your folder.
    Sync folders of information across teams
    Folder members can sync a shared folder directly to their own computers. Any member of a shared folder can have their own copy of the folder on their own computer. Folder members can edit files locally. Updates are reflected for everyone as soon as the file is saved.
    I've not tried this so you would need to investigate to see whether it suited your requirements.
    There is also a new program, Cloud App, which makes sharing files simple: it runs as a background process and you just drag files to the menu bar icon. Storage is with Heroku and Amazon: it's free with a limit of 10 files per day, maximum 25MB per file, $45 per year for unlimited files, maximum 250MB per file.
    Another possible option is YouSendIt. It provides the facility for you to upload files and send an email to a recipient telling them how to download it: and it's also possible with all but the free plan for others to upload a file for you. The free version allows you to send a maximum file size of 50MB with no upload by others: $9.99 per month gets you 2GB sized files in either direction, and there are upgraded plans.

  • Sharing an iMovie with another Mac user

    I am a new Mac user.
    I am taping my nephew's football games for his coach.  I imported the video into iMovie and created the project.  Now, I am struggling to figure out the best way to share the project with the coach.  I had anticipated putting in onto a flash drive, but I keep getting a message saying that the 5.65 GB movie is "too large for ovum's format."  I am trying to use an 8GB flash drive.  Help!!

  • How do I stop Illustrator automatically adding numbers to file name when exporting with artboard?

    I need to export with artboard. Illustrator automatically adds a number to my original file name. It won't even let me replace the old file. It is extremely annoying and makes flow with other programs really hard because they can't auto update, since the file name  changes. When you have multiple files, you can't be manually renaming all the time. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

    This has been discussed a few times, and here is a summary of the usual solutions.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2989508#2989508
    What is it EXACTLY you are trying to do. Are you trying to export a single page from filename.ai  and make it filename.psd, (without any number afterwards). In that case you could delete the extra artboards prior to export, and then you won't have to checked use artbaords as there is only one page. Otherwise I would plan ahead so your end result will be filename-01.jpg,  filename-02.jpg, and then everytime you use export artbaords those names will replace.
    I am happy with the function as is, and would prefer to have a serial number automatically after the name when checking use artboards. But sounds liek you and others desire more options and thte ability to turn off adding to the filename.

  • How can I share a file with another mac computer?

    I would like to send a file to my girlfriends computer. A macbook pro. I have a macbook. Can you tell me how to do this? Is it with file sharing, or blue tooth or something else. I is a logic .aif file.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
    A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
    Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
    With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
    (It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

  • Sharing files with another mac over internet

    Hi there,
    My friend has a mac with tiger. I have a mac with tiger. We have built in ftp servers, correct? How exactly do we connect with each other over the internet to share large files? I know the answer is simple or at least available. Thanks for your time.

  • How do I create a screensaver from an mov file that other mac user can download? Is there free software or shareware available for this?

    I have seen iScreensaver and PulpMotion and several others but I simply wish to convert an mov file to a screensaver that other mac can download. I haven't been able to come across a tutorial for this that works on Lion. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

    Does anybody know how to do this without iDVD?
    You can't.  You MUST buy iDVD.
    Tell Apple how you feel.  They do read these comments, and often react.  Be nice.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    (On the above link, you will notice under Mac apps they do indeed show, iDVD!)
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 on disk (don't get the download) for about $29. You WILL get iDVD.
    or if you like downloads, go to the Apple Store via the Store button at the top, (not the App Store) and look for iLife 11 it will list iWeb and iDVD.  It IS available online.

  • Problem sharing a Reminder list with another iCloud user

    I'm trying to share a Reminder list with my wife, and even though I follow the instructions, it doesn't seem to work.
    I go to iCloud.com in Safari on my Mac, click on Calendar, and I can see my list there in the sidebar, including the one I wish to share. There is a small circle to the right of each lists name, and the instructions say to click this and a pop-up window will appear and ask for the other iClud users info and send them the invitation to share the list. When I click on this circle, nothing happens. It seems like the link is dead. I tried re-loading the page and restarting Safari, but nothing works. Is anyone else having a problem with this?

    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. Go to iCloud.com. Try the x next to Reminders.

  • How can I replace a 3D object in AE file with another 3D object?

    I am an AE novice, but an expert in many Adobe products, as well as a quick learner. I have purchased an AE file from videohive.net for a Christmas eCard we are producing for my agency. The file has a Christmas snow globe with a 3D Christmas tree inside it. I want to replace the Christmas tree object with a different object that doesn't yet exist. I want to create an object in Illustrator and extrude it, and hopefully import it into my AE file. Is this possible/difficult?

    There's quite a lot of content at Videohive that might be the project you're talking about.  Can you provide a link to it?
    Many Videohive projects contain pre-rendered 3D elements from other applications that are not easily replaced.  It's impossible to say in this instance without seeing the project you're referring to.
