Trying to get access to iPhoto for 2 users on same machine

I have a new MacBook and I set it up so that my wife and I have different user accounts and use Fast Switching. Here is what I would like to do but I am having difficulty with it. I am the administrator for the machine. I set sharing to on and put the iPhoto library into the Shared folder. I would like my wife to be able to open iPhoto and download photos. Is this possible or can she only see the photos in the Library? In iPhoto preference I have checked off Look for my Photos and Share my photos. I have File Sharing turned on in System Preferences. Now when I go into my wife's account using Fast Switching and try to open iPhoto, I get a prompt asking me to locate the file where the photos are stored. I navigate to the iPhoto Library in Shared Folder and click on it. However, I get a message that says "The main photo library appears to be locked or in a read-only cd." Is there a workaround for this so that both my wife and I can add, edit, etc. photos to the same iPhoto library or is this not possible? I hope I was clear. Thanks.

Shared Photo & Music Libraries for Multiple Users on Same Machine

I've setup multiple users on a single machine and I'm trying to have a common shared folder for photos (w/ Adobe PSE) and music (w/ iTunes). First, on photos:
-Tried setting up a folder on /users/shared/pictures. How can I "share" the main folder and have permissions carry down to all subfolders and files?
-I've given the other user permission, but when logged on, Finder window only displays icon, not preview of image? In cover flow mode, image shows up, though?
-Is this the best approach or is /me/public the better way or /me/pictures (shared) a better way?
And then on music:
-recommendations on best approach to have a single library with multiple users and multiple iTunes accounts.
Thanks in advance

The iTunes sharing is for sharing music between computers on a network.
To share music on a single PC, read this article

How do I share my iPhotos w/other Users on SAME computer?

I give up! I've looked at Help and everywhere. Tried (Share/)Exporting to other users but it doesn't seem to work. What am I not doing? Help!

Hi sherman,
Here are all the links I have for sharing your iPhoto Library.
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.
if you need more help with one of the methods, post back and tell me exactly what you tried (all the steps) and what happens or doesn't happen when you try to share your library.

How to create an default profile for every user on one machine? Deployment of configurations?

On firefox 3.5.X i can copy an configured profile from an user-folder to the programm folder of firefox. \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles.
After an new user log in to the machine the default profile will get the actual profile of the new user. With all bookmarks, configurations and so on.
But this doesn't work with the firefox 3.6.10? What changed? What will be the way i can get an default configuration for every user on one machine? I want to deploy the firefox with an default configuration in our enterprise? Why does the behaviour change?
What to do?
Thanks...

No - there are no missing data, because nothing will be copied. The profile - folder does not work.
There are the standard first start behavior.
There might be another trick? Hint? Todo?
Thanks.

I tried to email pictures from IPhoto for the first time. I chose to use my Yahoo server but mistakenly entered the wrong password. Since then, every time I try to email pictures I get a message saying "The server didn't recognize your username/password

When trying to email pictures from IPhoto for the first time, I chose to use my Yahoo server, but I mistakenly entered the wrong password. Since then, everytime I try to email pictures I get a message saying "The server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How can I correct this so I can email pictures using my IPhoto?

iPhoto Menu -> Prefences -> Accounts. Delete and recreate your email account.

The kerberos PAC verification failure when all users of only one RODC Site, trying to get access iis webpage of different site using Integrated Windows Authentication

The kerberos PAC verification failure when all users of only one Site which having only one RODC server(A), trying to get access iis webpage of different site which having WDC server(B) using Integrated Windows Authentication. But when they accessing the
website using IP address, it is not asking for credentials as I think it is using NTLM Authentication at that time which is less secure than Kerberos.
Note that:- All user accounts and Computers of the RODC has been allowed cache password on the RODC. Nearest WDC for the RODC (A) is the WDC (B).
The website is hosted on a windows server 2003 R2 and generating below system event log for those users of the RODC site :-

This issue has been raised for last one week. Before that everything was fine. No Group Policy changed, Time also same.
In this situation do I need to do Demotion of the RODC and re-promote it as RODC again or is there any other troubleshooting to resolve it.
Thanks in Advanced

Hi Amy,
Thanks for your response
I noticed that Logon server could become incorrect again after user re-login or restart of a workstation.
It seems root cause is different. Need a permanent solution.
The Workstations of the RODC site are getting IP from a DHCP server by automatic distribution of IP from a specific subnet for the site only. The RODC is
the Primary DNS server for the site.
I have checked the subnet and it is properly bound with only with that AD site. The group of users and workstations are in the same site AD organisational Unit.
Sometime I restarted the NET LOGON service and DNS server service on ther RODC server and sometime rebooted the server. But the Logon server issue has not fixed permanently.
The internal network bandwidth of the site is better than the bandwidth to communicate with other site.
The server is Windows server 2008 R2 standard and hosting the below roles
RODC
DNS
File server
The server performance is Healthy in core times when maximum users usually logins.
Any further support would be much appreciated Amy
Thanks

I'm trying to get access to a very old AppleID, but I don't have access to the email associated with the account anymore and it's saying my birthday is wrong. Can someone help?!

I'm trying to get access to a very old AppleID, but I don't have access to the email associated with the account anymore and it's saying my birthday is wrong. Can someone help?!

If you can't get the account's password reset via http://appleid.aple.com then try contacting Support in your country, they should (after they've confirmed your id and that it's your account) be able to reset it for you.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
After it's been reset change the primary email address on the account to be an address that you have access to : Change your Apple ID.
And check/correct the date of birth on the account (select the Password And Security section on the account on http://appleid.apple.com, answer the security questions, and on the next screen the DoB should show).

I just bought OS X Lion and now it says I need to go to the App store and pay even more money to get a newer iPhoto for PhotoStream to work between my iPhone and my computer. Is this a rip off to make us pay more $ or is thereanotherway to update iPhoto?

Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15. That is the only solution. You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

Getting UWL task count for all users in a role.

Hi.
I recently posted a question regarding a very similar issue, but I haven't got any response yet. I think my question might have been somewhat poorly phrased, so I will try to do better at explaining what we need.
We have a number of processes, most of which need to be dynamically assigned to a user when created. The way we want to assign those tasks is by executing a WebService which would receive a role name and get all the users for that role. Then, using the UWL API, it would check how many tasks each of the users have in their UWL, and return the UserID for whoever has the least tasks. I haven't been able to get this to work. I keep getting Logged in users context or session doesn't exist Exception.
Please, any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Currently working with SAP NWDS 7.1 SP05 PAT0005

Hi,
Thank you for your response, however, that's not what I need.
For you and anyone esle who might find this extra info useful...
I know how to get a user's role(s), and how to get the users in a role.
I also know how to assign a task to a specific user dynamically.
Using the UWL API, I know how to get the tasks (or items) in a user's UWL from a WD application, I need to do that from a WebService and using pretty much the same code, with the necessary adjustments, I can't get it to work.
Furthermore, I'm able to get the UWL tasks for ONE user, that user being the one I log into the application with. For example, if I write code to get the tasks for user testUser1, I need to log in with testUser1 to get it to work, if I log in with any different user or make it a non-authenticated application, it won't work.
Again, help on this is much needed and will be appreciated.

Flash Player For Multiple Users On Same Computer

While surfing. I got a message to update Flash Player. When I
did, issues began to occur for other users on my home computer. The
adminstrator could view web pages with Flash content, but no other
users could, including other adminstrators on the computer. After
looking at support documents, I uninstalled the flashplayer - then,
reinstalled using a different administrator id. Now, that id can
view Flash and no others can. I have tried changing screensavers as
suggested in another support document, but no luck. How do I get
Flash to work for all users?

It might be a permission problem in the Flash Player install folder. Try a clean install on the original machine.
If that does not resolve your problem, can you tell what Windows version & edition you are using?
Also check the permissions of all files in
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash

You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation

Hi all
Have seen a couple threads regarding this but unfortunately nothing that solves my problem thus far!
Right now, our developers are using the Domain Admin account to promote their website code using MSI files. I'd like to change this as I feel the Domain Admin account should be on lock down and only used when absolutely necessary, pretty common. The
same goes for my account too, I would like to absolve as much use of the Domain Admin as I can.
Problem is, when they run installers from their own accounts, they receive this error: You do not have sufficient privileges
to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Log on as administrator and then retry this installation
The accounts they are using are part of the Built In Administrators group and the Domain Admins group... I'm not sure what other permission you'd need in a domain? We've gone as far as explicitly giving them local admin access on this server and still
nothing changes.
Is there a Group Policy or something that I can change to provide install rights and possibly remove these accounts as Domain Admin and more along the line of Power User?
Thanks much for your help!

Hi,
You could use Software Restriction Policies (SRP’s) or Applocker(supported on Windows server 2008 R2/Windows 7 only) to restrict the running

Importing Certificates for all users on a machine

How do I import certificates for all users on a machine in Windows/OSX.
Since firefox does not use the system store and uses its own, we have been able to use a utility called certutil to add certificate to a user's firefox db on Linux. So if the user logs into any Linux system on our network he will have those certs in his trusted root cert authority for firefox. Unfortunately this does not carry over to firefox on osx as I am not sure why since it should carry over if the user's home is network. Then we have Windows users who basically have local accounts and we are looking for some solution to have it set up for all users without having to manually import for each user. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks

See CCK Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
