Sharing reminders with pc users

i am a mac user and I want to share reminders with a pc user - is this possible?

There has been reported problems with iPhoto losing some functionality when a non-English language is used as the default for the computer. That may be what you're running into. If you can, try changing the default language to English and see if the sharing will be allowed. OT

How to share reminders with iCloud users ?

Hello,
With Lion it was possible to share a "Reminder" through iCal to members of iCloud...
I unfortunately did not find this essential feature in the new Mountain Lion Reminder Application.
I cannot immagine Mountain lion would be a downgrade on that very useful workgroup feature...
The only, temporary, work around is to use the web version of iCloud calendar which still permits sharing of Reminders with iCloud members.
Am I missing something ?
Best regards,
Carlo

Does the "Facebook integration" enable sharing of reminders with icloud users, even for people not using facebook ?

How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my computer

How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my Macbook pro?

You may have to set up different user accounts in the computer if you wish to
continue sharing the computer among other people, and only use the Mail app.
Otherwise, if you use a webmail such as yahoo, gmail, or other, just use a browser
and login each time; then there is no saving of your email to the computer as such.
I've never used an email client software, nor had an ISP based email account. So
my numerous computers have never downloaded email into software. No loss.
But the answers do include setting up extra user accounts, not admin level, so the
other users do not mess with the operating system; a standard account or just a
guest account to use a browser to access web-based login email accounts, works.
There are third-party email client for OS X, some are free applications, others are
part of a larger browser product, such as SeaMonkey, & other Mozilla derivatives.
They provide an email segment or client aspect; unlike Firefox that's a browser.
Setup information should be within the Help viewer in the computer itself. Or by a
simple search online, including the OS X version and any email client software
your computer may have installed. Some browser software includes email client.
Also there are several ways to go in this matter. I don't see questions, only answers.
To learn how the Mail application works, if you want to import everyone's mail, then
figure how to set up user accounts in the OS X. Or use web-mail & login by browser.
Hopefully you can find the best solution for the unasked question.
Good luck & happy computing!

ITunes Shared library with all users on one computer

I am trying to share my iTunes (version 8.2) library with all the users on my computer. So far, this is what I have done:
1) I have moved the music folder into the shared folder.
2) I have selected "Add to Library" in all three accounts.
3) I have tried checking and unchecking the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library."
Since then, I have added some CDs that had some songs that I already had. When I loaded these CDs, I deleted the duplicates that had the worse sound. Since then, everything is unwinding. The additions on one user account are not being added to the others. When I delete a track, iTunes (obviously) says that it can't find the song anymore. What's odd is that I then delete the one that is missing, and both are missing now: the one that I deleted on the original account and the one that I did not delete on the original account.
I am starting to think that I need to start from scratch. So, to make a long story short (too late), how can I share my iTunes library with all users on one computer, where I can make a change in one account that will update automatically on the other accounts. If it can't be updated automatically, how can I add/delete files without causing the headaches I am currently having?
Brian

I actually followed this, but I still had problems that I listed above. Is there any way that when you make changes to one account (even if there is only one main account where changes are made), the changes are automatically (or at least easily) applied to the other user accounts?

Sharing photos with multiple users on single iMac

I want to share all my iphotos with all users. I purchased an external hard drive (Rock Mobile) that automatically synced up to the Time Machine. I have loaded the iPhoto data base onto the Time Machine. I would like other users to have access via their screen saver - how can I do this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You'll need to partition that external if you want to share it with TM.
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Issue in Shared Services with corp user IDs

Hi,
I am facing an issue with corp user IDs in Shared Services. The issue is that I am able to add corp user IDs to a group but I am not able to remove some of them from the group for some reason especially those corp user IDs that were added few weeks or months ago.
What I noticed is if I add a corp user ID today and try to remove it today itself it is letting me do it but those corp IDs that I added to the group weeks before it is not letting me remove them. I tried to push the corp user ID from right hand side to the left hand side and then saved the changes. It shows the message that the group has been modified but when I go back again and check in the group I find the user there on the right side where it shows all user members. Not sure why this is happening.
Any ideas on this? Please do share your inputs.
Thank you.
~ Adella

Hello Mehmet,
Thank you so much for your response.
Well, I think I tried at both the places yet I am facing the same issue. If I add any corp user now and immediately take it off in minutes it lets me do it. But if I try to take out a user who was added to the group weeks ago it is just not letting me do it. It does give the messages that the gourp has been modified but when I come back again and look at the group its there.
Its weird and I am not sure whats going wrong. Is it some kind of a bug?

Sharing itunes with different user accounts

I just got Windows Vista. I have the latest version of Itunes. I'm trying to set it up so that my wife and I can share songs with different user accounts in Windows. I followed all the instructions. I moved the iTunes music folder to a public folder. But everytime I log off my account and return, itunes can't find the song files. Any suggestions?

They can be transferred to another iTunes library but not another iTunes account.
Just copy them.

Sharing iPhoto with another user on my computer?

I have iPhoto 9.5.1, and I'd like to know how I can share events, albums or just photos with another user on my computer.

The most successful is to have the library on an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) with ownership ignored

Sharing games with different user accounts

Hello. I've been meaning to ask this for ages and was hoping for some help.
There are four user accounts on my mac and my son and daughter love Zoo Tycoon. My question is, how do I share the actual app between the accounts as I can't seem to sort out the permissions (they have Parental Controls on too but with Zoo Tycoon ticked for allowed use).
My idea was to have the Zoo Tycoon folder stored in the Computer/Users/Shared folder and use it with both accounts from there, but I keep getting 'try installing on an unlocked volume' message.
Does anyone know if this is possible and how to set permissions correctly?
Thanks in advance.
Damian.

All your Applications should be in /Applications folder by default to be accessible to all users and to be seen by updaters. If you created an "Applications" folder within your Home folder, then only you will be able to use those Applications. Otherwise there should be no permissions issues.
Check Permissions Inside a Home folder:
• Navigate to /Users/~(Home)/Library.
• Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
• Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
• Make sure the user is the owner, with "read and write" access.
• Click on "apply to all"
• If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.

Sharing files with multiple users on single iMac

THIS IS a REPOST from another location - more appropriate "thread"
After switching to Mac from a PC about a month ago (& not being technologically over-adept), I have finally succeeded in creating separate "User" accounts on my iMac (1 admin, 1 standard, 1 managed) to allow the 3 users in my household to create their own workspace. However, now I would like to allow them to access all files from some applications - iTunes, iPhoto, Address Book, etc. - and some of the files within Numbers, Pages, & Keynote (that were theirs to start with...but they were working on in "my" admin space before establishing separate Users.) As an additional challenge, I'd still like to have access to their files...for monitoring purposes...as we go forward. I've "searched" the Apple support files and found reference to some of this but (1) I can't seem to figure out how to move the files into the Public Folder (I did one, then logged in as another User & it wasn't there...) and (2) If they access files from the Public Folder, will they need to specifically save them back there when done? -- my other users will NEVER remember to put something back where they got it...

You can give each user read and write permissions to just that folder, or to everything in it. But that will not stick to any new files that are added to the folder hierarchy after that point. When new files are created they are read and write for the creator, and read only for all others. If you want to change that it must be done manually for each new file that you add.
There is a way to get around this, and make every file/folder added to a folder hierarchy automatically get full read and write permission for the users you specify. It requires setting up ACLs. Do it this way:
1. Make a new subfolder in /Users/Shared. Call it something like /Users/Shared/sharefolder. Move all the files you want to share into this folder.
2. Go to System Preferences and unlock the Accounts pref pane. Click the + button. Make a new group (select "group" from the drop down menu). Call it something like "sharegroup". Add the users you want to that group.
3. Log in to an admin account. Launch Terminal. Paste in all three of these lines at the same time and then press Return:
sudo chmod -R +a "sharegroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
/Users/Shared/sharefolder
Enter your admin password when prompted and press return again. You are done. The users in the sharegroup can all now read and write everything in the sharefolder. They will also be able to read and write any file that is newly created or copied into the sharefolder from that point on.
NOTE: After setting this up, and you want to add more files to the sharefolder, be aware that files that already exist outside the sharefolder WON'T inherit the new permissions if they are simply moved in (i.e. drag with Finder). They must be copied in. Hold down the option key when dragging files into the sharefolder. That will ensure that a new copy will be made, and the permissions will inherit properly. You can then delete the old copy of the file from its previous location.
I hope this helps.

Sharing iPhoto with other users

I am working hard to make a conversion to my new iMac, learning as I go along. I have set up separate login accounts for each member of my family, but want to have a single repository for iPhoto for my wife and myself. I have downloaded a number of photo already, and so I moved my iPhoto folder into the shared user folder on the Macintosh HD, and was able to point the iPhoto application in my login to the photos without issue.
When I log in as my wife however, and try to point to the same iPhoto folder in the shared user folder of the Macintosh HD, I get a message that states "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it."
It seems like this should be fairly easy to solve, but I have not figured it out yet. Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

These instructions are only valid for Tiger. It doesn't seem to be as simple using Leopard. I wanted to share my library with my husband's login and had to go in using Terminal to set the permissions correct after moving my iPhoto library to an external FW drive. What I did was copy the entire iPhoto library to the external drive and then opened a Terminal, cd-ing to the FW drive and into the "iPhoto Library" directory. Then to change the permissions, I did:
find . -type d -exec chmod a+rwx {} \;
and
find . -type f -exec chmod a+rw {} \;
The first command gave read, write, and execute permission for the directories and the second gave read and write access to the regular files. The only thing I'm not sure about is what is going to happen when I add new pictures. Am I going to have to go through this again?

How to access a shared disk with two users account on same Mac

I am seeking how to share / access at same time with two accounts on a same Mac a disk that is shared with a TC or an AEBS. When a user account is connected to the shared drive and when I switch to the 2nd user this 2nd user cannot access / see the content of the shared drive and it receives an error message. I want to use this shared drive to store some GB of movies I do not want to have on my MacBook Pro SSD but still bring able to access them from the two accounts that are set on my Mac. Just like for an internal drive. I have tried all I could but it does not want to work. How do I do that ? Thanks.

If you were running this software, the Mac's Bonjour would automatically "discover" The Linux machine.
