2 users, same computer..how do we share ical?

So there's 2 users on our computer and we want to share ical and both be able to add, change, delete...How can we do this???

It's not built into iCal, no.
I think I'm right in saying that the reason you usually can't share data, or calendars, across user accounts has to do with the way Unix machines - including Macs - store a user's data and make it private for that user. There are shared points from which you can share but this does not include your calendars alas.

on the thinking behind why this is so.
Michael's suggestion above is your best bet.

My daughter and I each have iTunes libraries on the same computer, how can I move some songs from one library to the other?

My daughter and I each have iTunes libraries on the same computer, how can songs from one library be moved to the other?

So, if she purchased a song from iTunes in her library, I will also have to purchase the same song to add to my library?

Just authorize the computer and retreive them.

FYI: you should have simply updated the AppleID with new info and continued to use it instead of creating a new one.

I have windows vista and there are 4 user accounts. How do we share our music library and only sync the tracks we want individually? I am no computer whizz so my understanding is very basic. Thank you.

Thanks for any help

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

Two users on same computer how to use the same program and data

Two users on one computer how to share a program and it's data

As Kappy said, each of you should have your own account. By default all programs are installed in the Applications folder so all users on the computer will be able to use the software. With a few restrictions data you want to share between two users can be placed inside the Shared folder - look inside the Users folder for it. Data that gets placed in the Shared folder will retain the owner/creator's rights so if you want other user(s) to be able to do more than open the document you'll need to change the permissions of the file to include that user.

I set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.

Sharing Photos: Different Users, Same Computer

So far, I've tried some suggestions found in other postings, but I still can't share some photo libraries between different users on the same computer. I started an account for my son. Sharing was enabled in both iPhoto Apps. I've tried locating the libraries in a Shared folder and putting them in a folder not associated with a user. Opening a port 8770 in the Sharing/Firewall window didn't change anything either. No matter what, when I open my son's iPhoto and try to Add To Library, some libraries will import and others have a circle with a red line next to them. Those will not import and I can't figure out what the difference is between them. Any thoughts?

Hi chris,
these are the links I have for sharing. You might want to try the ACL way.
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.

How can two apple id,s use same itunes software on same computer, how can two apple id,s use same itunes software on same computer

how can two family members use same itunes download with two different apple id's? how do you change user within itunes?

Both accounts can be authorised on the same iTunes (Store > Authprise This Computer), but only one account can be signed in at a time for downloading or purchasing content - if you want to purchase or download with the other id then you'll need to sign out of the current one (Store > Sign Out) and then sign in with the other one (Store > Sign In)
You can also have your own separate iTunes libraries on the same computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

Multiple address books on the same computer: How to

Hi!
I'll get in the near future my wife's iPhone 3G (unless she keeps it and take her 3GS instead) - but want want to be 100% sure we can have separate address books on the same computer. The question is simple: how do we go about that?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
If it's just the address book that should be different: in iTunes, you can specify for each device what it should sync. For your contacts, you can specify in iTunes which contact groups to sync (at least on my Mac using Address Book I can).
Does this mean I need to create separate contact groups in the same address book file or can I create a second file? I'd much rather use the second solution. The first solution would in fact mean creating three groups: "His", "Hers" and "Both". This is a shotcut for contact management nightmares!
Thanks in advance,
Claude

Flash player not installing correctly as different user, same computer

I can view videos as one user on the same computer running IE9 windows 7, user is admin, but as another admin user, it keeps asking to install Adobe flash player, which I've done a million times, and it's still not working. It will not let me view any videos. Just a blank screen with "install adobe flash player" I've checked the IE security settings, they are the exact same. I have unchecked active x filter, nothing changed. I have reset IE settings to default, still no change. Firefox asked for adobe flash install, it went right through and works fine. I can find the adobe flash program under control panel, remove programs, but not under the normal start, programs, section. Wierd! Any ideas would be helpful, I'm about top pull my hair out because it makes no sense. This is a BRAND new computer, so all graphics drivers should be fine!

Perhaps the Shockwave Flash Object add-on is disabled on the other user's account?

Since it works fine on one account, this is probably not a driver issue. But (just F.Y.I.) when I bought my new Dell computer three months ago, almost all device drivers on it were outdated.

Mac OS X by design keeps documents and settings owned by one user private from and inaccessible to any other user on the system. This is normal and has always been the case with Mac OS X.
If you want documents accessible from both accounts, the easiest way to accomplish it is to put those documents in the Users/Shared folder. If you want to move your documents from your wife's account to yours, log into her account, move the documents to the Shared folder, then log into your own account and move the documents from the Shared folder to your own Documents folder.
