Can you move files between two different user accounts in Time Capsule?

I copied a bunch of stuff from my old NAS (which used FAT) to Time Capsule under one user account... I then reformatted the NAS to HFS+ so I could just use it as a USB drive connected to the TC. Now I realized that I want to have one of those folders in another user directory. I cannot open two different sessions of the TC on the computer...at least I have not figured out how to do this. Is there a way to accomplish this without copying the folder to my computer, then copying it back to the other user directory? It is several gigs.

you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

  • Can I share files between two different networks at same location?

    Until TWC can offer DOCSIS 3.0 later this year or next...
    - In my home I have a closet where all my audio, video and network come together.
    - I have two cable modems from Time Warner
    - Modem A goes to a WRT320N; 192.168.0.1
    -- This router connects all my "heavy" downloads, ie. DirecTV receivers, Netflix, home server w/videos, gaming, etc.
    - Modem B goes to a E2000; 192.168.1.1
    -- This router connects my everyday use computers so they don't suffer poor speeds from all the traffic on Modem A
    My question is, how or can I somehow share files between these two routers without the need for hitting the modems? Obviously I can just push files over the Internet but I am doing it at a much slower speed due to upload restrictions on the modem.
    Thank you for any help on this!

    The easiest way would be to assign LAN IP 192.168.1.2 to the WRT320N and disable the DHCP server. Then assign static IP addresses in 192.168.1.* to all devices connected to the WRT at the moment, e.g. 192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.2, DNS 192.168.1.2 (or DNS servers of your ISP).
    Now you can connect a LAN port of the WRT to a LAN port of the E2000. All DHCP clients get the IP address from the E2000 which will assign the E2000 as gateway, i.e. they use the E2000 for internet. All other devices will have static IP addresses and use the WRT as gateway.

  • Can you share libraries between two different version of iTunes?

    My school recently got MacBook Pro's for everyone, and we are allowed to put our music on them to listen to during study hall. I was just trying to transfer my iTunes library on my Windows computer over to my MacBook, and the home sharing doesn't show that they're on the same network. They're using the same wi-fi and I used the same account on both, but the Windows is on iTunes 11 and my MacBook is on iTunes 10. I can't download 11 on to my MacBook without a tech at the school's authorization, so I'm stuck with 10 on that one and 11 on this. Is that why the home sharing won't work? If so, there isn't anyway I can revert this one back to 10, is there?

    Yes,
    on the device login using the other persons account and go to app store. Check for apps not yet downloaded onto this device and you will see what you are missing from the other account. You can then download it onto that device and use it.
    You then go to settings and store and go back to your own account. When you come to updates though, the apps bought using the other account will not update unless you login using the others persons apple ID or at least know their password.
    My wife and I have the same apps distributed across two iphones and an ipad using a mixture of either's apple IDs.

  • Can I share stuff between two different Itunes accounts?

    My wife and I each have an Itunes account.  We find it crazy that we have to potentially purchase the same stuff twice.  We do have most of the music on my account, but most of the business apps on her account.  We each have ipods, each have ipads, iphones and itouch.  This is a lot of Apple products to feel like we cant share much.  Is there a way?

    Yes,

  • Can I share music between two different ITunes accounts?

    My daughter has iTunes on her Ipod under her iTunes account and I have my music on my IPhone 4S under my account.
    We want to share some songs, is this possible?

    Import the music in to iTunes library that is used for syncing the device and then sync to the iPod.
    You can import by:

  • Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

    If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
    This is great.  I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad.  If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy.  I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer. 
    I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad.  I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
    Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

    I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad.  But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad?  I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud.  I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
    I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be. 

  • HT204053 Is it possible to sync calendars between two different users?

    Is it possible to sync calendars between two different users?

    Hi
    Installing the drive into the older machine may work, you WILL get a lot of driver errors and the unit may even fail to boot. The other problem is that the drives may not be compatable, the drive in the broken PC is a SATA drive, older PCs had IDE drives with very different connectors.
    Your best option is to do as you suggest and obtain a USB caddy and extract the data that way.
    Make sure that the caddy you get will support SATA drives (all new ones will).

    Hi nprguy,
    It sounds like an earlier version of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software installed on your PC may be conflicting with this installation. 
    I would advise uninstalling both versions of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstalling the latest version.
    The following KB articles should provide more information on the issue.
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" when uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Manager www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10220

  • How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

  • How can I share files between two users? or merge the user accounts

    my laptop came home from the shop with two user accounts -never noticed that before - and some files are in one user account, some in another. I want to share them so I can just use one account. I just upgraded to Lion, so that may be an issue. Best of all would be to merge the two accounts so I don't have to think about it- just like 2 weeks ago. As it is, I have to log into one account to use Quicken, and another to use iWork - else I cannot access the files

    Move the files to /Users/Shared/ and from there into the other account.

  • How do I sync iTunes music to two different iPhones on two different user accounts?

    I have read some posts and a help article about this, but I need some clarification becuause what I'm doing is not working out correctly.  My wife syncs her iPhone and iPod to her iTunes.  I recently purchased an iPhone and am going to sync it to my own iTunes on a different user account on the computer.  How can I get the music from her iTunes account to sync with my iTunes/iPhone?  Whenever I try various routes, I end up with duplicated songs on my end and I'm not sure how it works when she adds music to her account.  My wife does all the music purchasing for the both of us and I want the music to sync both ways, but all other content needs to stay separate.  We are running iTunes 11 on Windows 7.  Any help would be appriciate and I'm sorry if this is a redundent question.  Thanks.

    I followed the following articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
    Here are the questions I have regarding the second article which is not clear to me:
    When dragging the media file to a public location, the article says not to move the iTunes folder.  Is it Ok that the media file is moved out of the iTunes folder when dragging it to the public location?  Is this what I am trying to accomplish?
    There is a note about how iTunes for Windows does not, by default, copy items added to the library to the media folder.  Am I supposed to check the box to allow this?  Do I do the same for all users?
    When I change the music folder location, am I changing it to the new public location?  Do I do this for all users on the computer that wants to use the same music files?
    I tried changing the file location to the public folder, but received a message asking something to the effect of renaming files to keep the library organized.  Do I want this or not?
    There is another note at the end that says if all users are storing their music in the same public location, then duplicates may appear in the library.  Isn't what this procedure is basically doing?  Can someone clarify this?
    After following this article to the best of my ability, my iTunes ended up with duplicates of everything, even starting off with nothing there to begin with.

  • Help using file sharing with different users accounts on same Macbook

    Hi, I just wanted a little help using the file sharing option. My wife and I had different users accounts on the same MacBook, but when I am trying to share my baby's picture from my documents folder for my wife to have the same picture, I can't find the way to do that; I am not been able to find my pictures on my wife's account. Is there any way that I could share a folder from my account and my wife to have the same files at the same time on her account?
    I mean, something like the smart play list on the itunes?
    Thank you

    You can't do that directly unless you change permissions on your whole Documents folder which is not a good idea. Your wife can see your Documents folder from her account by going to Users/yourusername/Documents. However, this folder has no read privileges for others except yourself by default so she won't be able to open it.
    rather than changing permissions on your Documents folder, you can place the pictures you want to share in Public folder in your home directory or in Users/Shared folder.
