Can I share my Aperture Library over my home network?

I am currently sharing my Aperture Library with my Apple TV via Home Sharing.  Can I also share it with a separate instance of Aperture running on a different mac on the same network (similar to how iPhoto has the built in library sharing feature)?

"Sharing" has different meanings:
iPhoto Libraries have a feature that allow you to share your library to other iPhoto installations on the same network
The iPhoto feature you are talking about does not share the library to be used and edited by several users, it allows other user to read the images in the shared library. This is save, since other users cannot modify the shared library.
When you asked about sharing a library, I thought you meant the same Aperture library to be used from two different users - to be edited and modified.
But you are right, Aperture does not support to share the Library across the network. To share your Aperture library this way you will have to open it in iPhoto and to share it as an iPhoto Library.

    Is there a way to share an Itunes7 Library on my home network ?  
    I have Itunes 7 with 5000 songs on Computer #1 Windows XP and I don't update to a later Itunes because I love the way 7 handles showing the library .
    I have installed Itunes 10 on another Computer #2 on my home network. just to listen to my music on Computer #1.  Computer #2  wont recognixe my library on Computer #1
    even though I have set file sharing and set Computer #2 with the Music Folder on COmputer #1.
    Is there a way to make this work ?
    Thanks

    Home Sharing, which seems to be what you're describing, needs iTunes 9 or later.

  • How can I share my iPhoto Library over internet

    My friend and I want to share our iPhoto Library(size 5.19 GB and growing). We don't live together so we are not on the same network.
    We were really hoping we could do this with mobile me. This is what we thought we could do with mobileme(but later found out it's not possible). Not possible but this is what we want to do: *We thought we would be able sync our iphoto library. This way we could work on or off line, make changes in iphoto have it auto sync and when he went to iphoto he would see the changes I made and he could make changes and I would see them when I went to iphoto. No one would have to manually sync or have to remember to sync.* On Mobile Me the sync function doesn't do it with iphoto. Are you aware of a company, software, or service that would allow us to do this?
    Of if you don't know of a way we can have it sync then do you know of a service that we can store our library on and work from. The key would be to be able to work on the file while it's on their server at a reasonable fast speed. Doing it this way nothing would be physically stored on our computers. It would be stored on somoene else's server.
    *Below are our options we are aware of using mobile me*(We are looking for other options:
    We thought we could use mobile me to sync, but it doesn't sync iphoto. We could use idisk(in conjunction to or .mac account). We would upload the library to idisk, then when we wanted to use it we would download it to our computer make changes and upload it and the next person could do the same. The only problem is with it being so large it takes a very long time to upload to idisk/.mac account and up to now I haven't been able to get it up on .mac(I just got off the phone with mac and we tried everything and it the idisk sync just fails everytime.)Even if it did work it's not what we are looking for. The other option I am aware of would be to use *Back to My Mac*(also part of mobile me). This would entail both of us leaving our computers on(not in sleep mode) and we could log on to the other computer and grab what we want make changes and return it.
    If you have other ideas please suggest.

    YOu can share photos via web galleries but not the iPhoto library directly - and even if you were on the same network there is no ability to sync two iPhoto libraries
    As to ahving your iPhoto library on the internet - no to that too - even a wireless connection to the library does not work - too slow and too unreliable - putting it on the net is not possible unless someone comes up with a giant step that direction
    in addition to web galleries you can upload to your iDisk or to a third party service - Back to my Mac I guess would be a way - you would have to update yoru computer and your buddies doubling your work and increasing the time a lot more than that

  • Can you share one Aperture Library on one Mac across two users?

    I have Aperture 2 on my Mac. My girlfriend has her own login. I would like to be able to access my Aperture Library from my girlfriends login.
    Is this possible? How do you do it?
    Cheers

    Ops! Not so fast. I would like if I can edit my previous post but I can not. So, please read below since unfortunately this is not as simple as I thought it is last night...
    I tested that last night using and manipulating the existing "test" projects and "test" masters and versions.
    Today I tried with the new aperture library in a shared folder in users folder. Did not work.
    Then I tried the library I used last night at the top directory level. It still worked. And, then, I tried to make new "test" projects and new "test" versions and the problems started.
    I tested this with the library on external disk again and it worked without problems.
    Here are the observations:
    1. With the aperture library in one of the users folder if one user opens the file, do some changes and closes the application, second user can not even open the application. Aperture will report the permissions error. Updating the permissions would cure the problem.
    2. When the aperture library is outside of the one of the users folder and proper permissions are given, both users can open and close application without problems. Existing items with proper permissions established can be manipulated and second user can still open them and work on them without problems. That is what I established last night. Making new projects and new versions, though, would lead to trouble. Updating the permissions may or may not help. I still do not understand what is happening.
    3. With the aperture library on external disk everything works without problems. Existing items are keeping there permissions. New projects and versions have "flexible" permissions. Current user is assigned full access. So, files created by user 1 will have the read and write permissions for that user for that session. Once application is closed and opened by user 2 permissions are changed giving user 2 full access to the new files and user 1 name does not appear in the panel. Repeating the same thing with user 2 creating the files and reopening on user 1 side would have same result.

  • Is there a better way to share your music library outside your home network other than using an i-Pod classic?

    APPLE-Here's a complement and a question.  Why has the i-Pod Classic fallen from grace compared to other i-Pods?    Please know that while I can share my music using home sharing within my home network with a different i-Tune account, it seems to me that the best benefit of having an i-Pod Classic is that you can give your dedicated music library and device to a friend or housemate to use outside your wireless network (and not on the internet) to use while traveling.   Am I wrong?   Is there a benefit to sharing the cloud usage with a friend.   Add that to the click wheel and I think I'm going to be a fan of the i-Pod Classic far longer than it is in production.  I hope Apple NEVER stops production of this device.   Are you listening Apple?

    Yes it is, and it's precisely what the music industry has been fighting about for years.
    Interpreting the law to suit yourself does not render law ineffective. Apple's Terms of Use mention this:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise 'work around' digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about 'ripping' DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    ...which is why my original response was framed as it was. Nothing to do with "attack mode". (You're the one with an "attack style" user name.)
    Fightthegoodfightnow wrote:
    Heck, as I understand it, I can legally burn up to five copies of a bought song for noncommercial, personal use....so copying in and of itself is also not illegal.
    As I recall, the music industry has acknowledged that making a copy of a CD (that you own, and still have in your possession) is regarded as "Fair Use" - and is therefore tolerated. But until that point was established just a few years ago, then technically, it was illegal to rip a CD into iTunes and onto an iPod. Slightly different to your interpretation. That same music industry (and the musicians) regard the following as unacceptable:
    keeping a copy of a CD but disposing of that CD to someone else
    lending the CD to friends, so that they can make a copy
    making copies and giving them or selling them to someone else
    But what is okay is:
    Home sharing
    use of the CD by someone in your family, living under the same roof
    At this time, if a couple wish to combine their two iTunes accounts of purchased digital music once they get married, they cannot. Perhaps that's where Home Sharing comes in.

    You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

  • Is it possible to share an aperture library with different users using osx server.

    is it possible to share an aperture library with different users using osx server.

    Not really.  You should not be sharing an Aperture library over a network.  It's not designed for that and you'll likely corrupt your library at some point.

  • Share my aperture library on two differents mac

    Hello I need to know how and if I can share my aperture library on two differents mac (one iMac and one Macbook). I' d like to work on my project also on my macbook at home with wifi and also outdoor if possible...
    Thank you for the help .....
    Mollialba

    The safest way to do what you want to do, would be to put your Aperture Library on a small external disk  that you can connect to any machine you want. Apple does not support network access to the Aperture Library, so you may run into problems if you put your library onto a network volumn, see this support article:
         Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
         http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3252
    However, you could decide to keep the master image files on a network volumn and have a local copy of your Aperture Library on each machine, but then you would have to take care to synchronize the two copies of your library regularly.

  • How can I share my iTunes library with 2 iTunes accounts?

    How can I share my iTunes library between me and my wife?
    I do not want to set-up 2 seperate accounts on my mac. Do not want to do home sharing or anything like this. 
    I just would like to connect my iPad to ONE itunes library and at the same time connect my wifes iPad to the SAME itunes library. Can this be done? How? Thanks! Maybe the answer is something really easy like "just connect both to the computer and sync them".
    Thanks!

    Plug them in and use them.
    That is all you need to do.
    In the answer from Apple I do not find anything about how the 2 exisiting iTunes accounts will be handled.
    They will be handled fine.
    All purchases from both iTunes accounts can be sync'd to both/either iPads with no problem.
    I have three iTunes accounts (me and two daughters), 3 iPhones, an iPad and a few iPods.
    Any/all content can be sync'd to any device, no problems.

  • Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?

    Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?
    note: one library universally shared, not Home Sharing (one library each, shared to each.)
    I want to share one library stores on my server and access it through various local computers. When I buy a song from a computer (non-server), I want it to be added to the library (stored on server). I want it to auto copy to my server, for organization. I want to be able to sync my phone from any computer.
    Most of this I can do, if i figure out how to use one universal library for all my computers.
    Any ideas how I can do this?

    eyeinit,
    You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
    However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93063
    This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

    Hope this helps,

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!
