Can I share addresses lists between 2 different iCloud users?

Does anyone know if I can share address lists/books between two different iCloud users? I know you can do this with a calendar, but I would like to do it with addresses too.

Yes.
Go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Add a new account if type iCloud, and username/pasword for the secondary account you want to access their contacts. Turn off all but Contacts, and you wll now be seeing their contacts on your iPhone.
Now in your contacts app, under Groups, there is a new section of contact from the new iCloud account you just setup. If you have the contacts app open (even minimized) you may have to force it closed and re-open to sync in the new contacts.

How can I share address lists between two iCloud users

My daughter and I have two different icloud accounts. We are able to share certain calendars, but I would like also to share address lists/groups. Is there a way to do this? I think you could "subscribe" to another Mobile Me user, but how is this done in ICloud?

I do understand that if we have the same Icloud account and Apple ID then they will sync automatically. We don't. I have just separated our accounts (on purpose). Via icloud we can share calendars, but I want to share address lists too. Can address lists be shared (or subscribed to) by two different icloud users with two different Apple IDs?
Anybody know?

TS4001 How can I share Safari bookmarks between two iCloud accounts using IOS 7 and Mavericks?

Before iOS 7 and Mavericks, we were able to share Safari bookmarks between all of our devices. My wife had the primary iCloud account which was setup to share bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. A secondary iCloud account was setup on my phone for only my email. Each phone had our private email accounts segregated and we shared all the bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. When I saved a bookmark on my phone, I could see it later on our iMac or iPad. Now only my wife can sync bookmarks between her phone and the iMac or iPad. This *****!! This worked beautifully before we upgraded to the latest versions of OS & iOS. Is there a work around or a new way to set things up? I don't want to be stuck reading Safari on my phone when I have a 24" iMac sitting in the living room. I don't want to see all of my wife's email on my phone either. Do we need three iCloud accounts now? One main for sharing and two separate accounts for only email? Need help! Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

David,
Thanks for the reply. That's how I set it up originally. Although the new iOS 7 update lost some functionality. I found the following on the TUAW website. The Safari Bookmarks and Find My Phone options have been removed from the secondary iCloud accounts options. This is the problem. Everything worked great before we updated. I guess "new way" consolidates the iCloud accounts better with Maverick? Now I will have extra documents on my phone that I don't need. We will both have to share the same iCloud storage and backup space too. Have to try it out and see how it works. Thanks.

I want to share address books between different users on same PC

Hi
We have a PC with two different Users but there is one email address shared between them. We have a copy of Thunderbird installed one each User and one User has multiple accounts for privacy reasons. It would be really helpful to have a shared addressbook in common to access addresses from. Is this possible?
Cheers, Marcus

Marcus,
Nothing really easy comes to mind, but here are two ideas to consider, depending on how frequently the address book changes:
1) If the shared email address happens to be gmail, then each user can install the gContactSync add-on and let Google have the master copy. This would give each of you frequent synchronizations to the same address book.
2) An easy, but not automatic approach would be for one user to be in charge of changes and periodically (daily, weekly, ...) export the address book to an ldif file. The other user then could import the address book to his/her TB account.

Can I share iTunes library between different users on the same pc

I want to know if and how I can share an iTunes library with other user accounts on the same laptop? Can anyone help please.

Jim, sorry, I should have mentioned that permissions issue.
I have a similar setup on a Mac mini. I have the entire iTunes library in the shared folder and on each user account, I point it to that iTunes library file. That way there isn't a permissions problem when multiple accounts are connected to it.
The only problem with that is that each user account connected to that iTunes library can make changes to the library file (ratings, playlists, etc.)

Can you share collections remotely between different computers, editors and Lightroom licenses?

I am trying to figure out an efficient way to outsource some post-production using Lightroom. I would like to share image previews that are already organized into collections (with some global adjustments) via FTP. Is there away to share a Lightroom catalogs setting between users and platforms that will retain the Lightroom settings?

I would like to share image previews
Does this mean you don't want to share the actual images, only the previews?
I don't really know any easy way to do this. I know you can use a plugin to extract the previews as JPGs and then transmit those.
Is there away to share a Lightroom catalogs setting between users and platforms that will retain the Lightroom settings?
You could write the metadata to XMP and then transmit the images and sidecar files via FTP, other Lightroom installations will be able to read the develop settings and then render the image properly (assuming you have the same major version of Lightroom on each computer, i.e. Lightroom 5.X can read Lightroom 5.X edits, but Lightroom 3 will not be able to read those edits unless you use an earlier process version)

How can I share autocomplete lists between sheets and/or files?

I'm drafting up a P&L spreadsheet in which I keep lists of categories, vendors, etc. I'd like to keep separate sheets for each month; the problem is that once I start a new sheet, Numbers seems to "forget" the vendor names, and I have to reenter the entire name again instead of the first three letters or so... I think for obvious reasons I don't want to put a whole year of order records on a single sheet ;-)
Is there a way to preserve or export lists of field values so that they can be shared between sheets (or even files?)

Appreciate the answer Wayne, although it wasn't the one I wanted to read... I had already embedded a hidden list in *every* table in each sheet; needless to say it didn't improve the performance one bit.
Turns out that the lists aren't shared between tables either (same heading, same column) that I used to create expandable categories. Would be a nice feature to recognize a column heading and propagate the autocomplete lists, and maybe even be able to link these across tables, sheets *and* files!
Probably too late for iWork '12 ('13, '14?) , but I filed an enhancement request to be able to refer to "file foo, sheet C, table 3" column contents.

Can you share FP Controls between different Event Structures

I'm creating a program that will either read real-time data from an VNA on the GPIB bus, or read a saved s2p (Agilent) file and analyze it. The FP consists of 5 graphs, and various controls which handle events like printing, changing filters, or exiting. on the BD I have a case structure controlled by an operator selection pop-up. I tried using the same FP controls in the event structures I have setup in each case, as only one event structure would ever be executing at any given time, but the program doesn't seem to like it ast run-time. I've worked around the issue by creating "duplicate" controls and using the property setting to make them visible/disabled, etc., but the is seriously congesting my BD.
Anyone know a way to share controls with seperate event structures?

It sounds like the root problem is the overall structure of your program. I highly recommend that you check out the Queued Message Handler project template in LabVIEW 2012, that will show you how to utilize a single event structure and pass events to a consumer loop. If you program is too large to consider an architecture change at this stage of the game, then there is a workaround for your problem.
What is most likely happening is that you have the event structures all set to lock the front panel until the event completes. However the case structure that you have wrapped around these event structures is causing all but one of these event structures to be unreachable thus preventing you from handling the event. Again, as I stated above, the "RIGHT WAY" to fix this is to select a better program structure but the "kluge work-around" fix is this: Dynamically register for the value change event on all of the controls you are trying to trap events for. Dynamic events can be deregistered and re-registered at run time. This will allow only the event structure in the active owning case structure to be registered for the events, thus no other event structures will get in your way.

How can I share purchased apps between different apple IDs?

Hi,
I bought a Mac recently and created a new Apple ID.
The Home Sharing for my Mac is 'on'. I want to copy my purchased apps from my Home Sharing account to my Mac. However, I'm struggling to do that.
Can anyone help me out please?
Thanks

A purchased app is associated with an Apple ID. A user with a different Apple ID cannot use the app unless they also use the same Apple ID.
I cannot use my wife's apps nor she mine because each were purchased with different Apple IDs.

Share address book between different user accounts on same computer

my wife and i share one computer, but just started to use separate user accounts to keep our mail accounts separate. all our addresses are stored in the address book on my user account. is there a way to share that account with her so that she has access to all the addresses. this would be much easier that have 2 address books to keep updated.
i do have a .mac account and i have only activated one email address.

thanks for your response andrew. i've tried that but address book asks for the .mac name of the person you want to share with. i don't have a family pack .mac subscription only a single one. so would setting up an email alias for my wife accomplish this? is there a way to do this bypassing .mac all together simply because we're using the same computer?

Can i share iTunes music between my kids with different apple id's?

Can i share iTunes music between my kids with different apple id's?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, even though they have their own IDs for the iTunes Store, if everyone uses the same ID for home sharing, you can share the content.

Can I share itune match on separate iCloud accounts my wife just got iPhone

Can I share itune match on separate iCloud accounts my wife just got iPhone

Yes. iTunes Match is tied to the Apple ID you have set for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores. You can share your ID for purchasing, and thus iTunes Match, and still maintain separate iCloud accounts using a different ID on one or both phones. The ID you use for purchasing does not need to be the same as the one used for other services such as iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.

Exchange notes between different iCloud accounts

I have created a collection of notes with the Notes app on my iPad. How can I transfer these notes in a simple way to the Notes app on my wife's iPad?
More general: How can I exchange notes between different iCloud accounts?

You can have multiple iCloud accounts on the same device, but one has to be the "primary". Any secondary account(s) you add will support things like Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Notes (but not things like Safari syncing nor Find My iPhone for that account).
So if your wife does not mind you having her iCloud account set up as a secondary account on your iPad, you could then copy a note from your account and paste it into a new note in her account.
Alternatively, just email the note to your wife (right from within the Notes app) and she can copy and paste the information into a note on her device.
