Creating different albums for 2 different users

Ok I have my mini set up with an accnt for me (admin) and my wife. I use iPhoto to organize all my photos as a ARCHIVAL system. Keeping track of who is in what picture using albums for each person, different events each get there own album, etc. My wife wnats to use iPhoto to organize our pictures for her scrapbook pages, i.e. certain pictures for certain layouts. I have my library set up as a shared one between our two accounts. She can SEE all the photos on her side, but when she tries to add them to her album, and drags them over to the appropriate one, it snaps them back into place in the library view and doesnt add them to the album. Any reason why its doing this. Does my side have to be logged out? Is it because the photos are already labeled in an album on my side? Please help!!!

None of the above... this is actually expected behaviour. A Shared library can be viewed, not manipulated. Think of it this way: they're your photos, why should someone else be able to use them? Not an issue with you and you wife, I know, but these days people share libraries on unsecured wireless networks and their photos pop up in their neighbours iPhoto!
Some workarounds:
If your wife makes a change to any of the pics, then the changed version will be saved to her library, and so become open for manipulation.
She can also work entirely in your library - a photo can be in as many albums as you like with no duplication whatever. So, imagine if you will, in your Source Pane two folders: Mine and Hers. In the Mine folder is your system, in the Hers is hers.
Finally, if you move the iPhoto Library Folder to the Users/Shared folder, you can share the pics but have two separate libraries. On the Folder change the file permissions to allow everyone access then launch each iphoto in turn while holding down the option (or alt) key. Select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. Result, two independent libraries drawing from the same pics.
Some caveats on that system: only ONE user can access the database at a time. If you both try the chances of db corruption are very high. Secondly, if you import pics into your library they will also have to be imported into hers.

  • How to create different users in a unique project?

    Hi,
    We are able to create different users in security manager,but it is not possible to grant privileges accordingly.According to our requirement we need different users with different granting privileges so that our work should be secured.After login with different user we are getting the below error
    com.sunopsis.core.SecurityAccessException: com.sunopsis.core.SecurityAccessException: You are not authorized to View the Object:SNP_TECHNO : Oracle / 1999
    Thanks
    Suresh

    Hi there,
    I am also receiving this same error and I'm not sure what you mean by granting the users the correct access to the Topology items. I mistakenly deleted the CONNECT profile and I have re-created it with all of the same objects it had in it before but it is not letting my users in and fails with this same error..
    However, the supervisor and the any of us admins that are marked as supervisors can still get in no issues..
    Please help!

  • How to create a jobsteps for a new user to run a report on portal

    Hello Experts,
    Is there any program that automatically creates a jobsteps for the new users for
    a role??
    My company BW roles are mapped with R/3. so whenever a new user is created in a R/3 role
    it comes and maps with BW Role and creates that users automatically in BW.
    Now the problem is if any new users are created in r/3 and mapped with BW. the report
    fails to run for the new users unless and until they really login in to the system.
    For ex: I have 5 new users which are created in R/3 and properly mapped with BW. But
    report fails to runs for the new users.
    ERROR: Jobs step fails for the User X
    Is there any programe that automatically creates a jobsteps for the new users??
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance,
    Harish

    Hello Kedar,
    Do you manually add a new users to the role??
    How the reports run for new users in your company??
    Thanks,

  • HT1711 When I load one of my own CD's onto itunes, it creates separate albums for each unique pairing (ie: singer/composer or singer/orchestra). How can I keep all the cuts together on one album?

    When I load one of my own cd's onto itunes, it creates separate albums for each unique pairing (ie: singer/composer or singer/orchestra). I end up with
    the cuts scattered over several albums.  How do I keep all the cuts on an album together rather than divided between several albums? I'm brand new with this technology, so I need your information in simple terms.  Thank-you.

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
    The site could do with updating as some options have changed with iTunes 11, but the principles are the same.

  • Can I create & publish site for another .Mac user?

    My wife is a .Mac member and I piggybacked a .Mac e-mail address through her account. Now I'm trying to help my father, a recent Mac convert and .Mac member, by creating a website for him with my version of iWeb 08. When I open iWeb on my computer (first time as I've always used Dreamweaver to create websites), I'm locked out of pretty much everything (I'm assuming because I'm not a full .Mac member which it's somehow linking to). If I have my father's .Mac info, can I create a site for him and upload it for him on my computer, and if so, how would I do this?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    ~Chris

    All you need to do to post to his .Mac account is find out what his .Mac username and password are and input them into the .Mac pane of System Preferences. That will give iWeb access to his .Mac space. If you end up getting your own .Mac at a later time, you will have to change that info in System Prefs.
    I created a separate user on my computer for a 2nd website that I publish for my church. That way I keep all the iWeb and .Mac account info separate without having to jump through any hoops - I just have to switch users.

  • Design and Web Premium creates huge profile for each network user.

    Just wondering how I can get around the Adobe Design and Web Premium creating a huge profile for each network user. When a new user logs in on the network a 6 GB Adobe Design and Web Premium folder is created in their profile. With dozens of students logging into each machine that equals dozens of 6GB folders.

  • Add photo to book - after already created initial album for that book.

    i would like to add a new photo to an existing book. but i can't figure out how to import it to the album i used for this book. any tips would be appreciated.

    You do not add it to the album you started with (you can but it has nothing to do with the book) - to add a photo to a book (or an album for that matter) you simply drag it from the event to the book in the source pane on the left

  • Itunes has stopped working. This comes up everytime I launch ITUNES.  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, removed support programs reinstalled support programs, created different user and problem still persists.  Quicktime and Safari launch fine.  Just itunes.

    Itunes isn't working properly.  I get this message every time I try and open Itunes.  I've uninstalled, reinstalled itunes and all the support programs.  Quicktime and Safari launch fine. Tried it with Nortons antivirus turned on and turned off etc.   I've gone through the Apple Support file and removed the itunes preference files, I've started in safe mode and it still persists.  This only started about a week ago when I changed over to my Iphone 4s.  My phone loaded fine and backed up etc and now NOTHING....

    I had a similar error, but relating to a different .dll file and on 32-bit Win7.  I think I isolated the problem to Norton Internet Security 2012 v 18.6.0.29 - iTunes would start fine with NAV Antivirus Auto-Protect disabled but crashed if Auto-Protect was on.  I tried running iTunes as administrator (right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator"; to make this permanent right click on the icon > Properties > On the Shortcut tab, click Advanced > tick Run as Administrator) and iTunes now runs fine.  Maybe give that a try?

  • Create Aggregate Device for audio - Admin User Required

    In reference to the thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1934270, I can confirm:
    To create an aggregate audio device, you must be logged in as a user with admin rights. This was true on February 6, 2010 in Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8.
    Inconvenient, but understandable, because an aggregate device can re-route audio, possibly causing problems for other users who do not realize that's been done. Important for admin user to realize this.
    Good to know that you need an admin userid.

  • How can I create template documents for non-InDesign users to edit the text of later?

    I'm looking to produce a small system for people within my company to edit and print labels as needed that comply with our internal design standards. I would like to use InDesign to produce a few templates for labels that people could then edit one or two fields later on, things like item name and ID number. I'm not averse to producing a small application in XCode that users can start up, enter their data and it saves the printer-ready label sheet to their desktop. I started out using Acrobat Pro, but I'm running into trouble embedding fonts for use in form fields, centering text, and outputting a filled-in pdf for print use, and not a form that submits info to an email or server. If InDesign is the wrong tool for the job of setting up a template like this, please feel free to suggest another route.

    I would direct you to the Acrobat forums, personally. You can enable rich-text formatting of Acrobat form fields from within Acrobat Pro, and also IIRC embed fonts for use in form fields. If you can spec out what you mean by "fine detail that we'd need" then we, or someone over at the Acrobat forums, can tell you whether or not rich text in Acrobat forms will work for you. I suggest this to you because centering text for Acrobat form fields is dead easy, so I suspect you've not investigated the tools available in Acrobat after you've exported the PDF from InDesign.
    Post-export PDF data merge sounds like, I dunno, variable-data printing? which doesn't sound like it would fit your case.

  • What is the best way to create a bookmark for a returning user??

    Hello all... hello again Steve...I am back with another question- what is the best way to implement a bookmark system so returning users can pick up where they left off in an AW lesson? I have tried the usual internet searches, always do, but the few samples/answers I have found were AW5, not much help...
    I have a dozen or so maps attached to my framework, I would like a user to return to the last map he viewed before closing. (My AW is communicating fine with an Access database, so if passing a variable to Access and then back to AW when the lesson starts is on the right track, let me know...) If the answer here is too complicated, maybe nudge me in the right direction and I will dive back in.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who has some guidance, I really do appreciate it!
    Terry

    Try this outline, see if it helps ...
    Grab a reference to the Map as you enter it, then save that to the database when you leave.
    You want something that will give you the equivalent to a page number - if you have 7 maps hanging off the Framework, and the user is in the 6th map when he exits, you want to save the number 6.
    There are scores of ways to do this, but probably the easiest is just to attach a calc to each map that has this code
    (I don't have Authorwar handy to check syntax, so you should check!)
    BookMarkPage = ChildIDtoNum(IconParent(IconID), IconID) <-- tells Authorware to return the "page number" of the current map
    Save BookMarkPage to your Access database on exit .
    On return, read the bookmark back into BookMarkPage, ask the user if he wants to return to bookmark. If yes, use a calculated navigation that uses
    ChildNumToID(@the name of your Framework or it's ID, BookMarkPage)
    Note that you could wrangle something similar by saving the IconID of your Map, or the IconTitle, but both of these can break if you ever update your file by adding or removing pages, renaming them etc. With this method, all you need is a simple page count check that ensures that you are not trying to nav to a page number that does not exist (use IconNumChildren).

  • Different user id's.

    We have several devices in our home all using the same iTunes account. 6 in fact, 3 iPod touch, iPad 2, iPad mini and an iPhone 4. How do we set each one up so that they all have different identities when using facetime and messaging? My son wants to use his iPod touch for texting between us and his friends but they all have the same Facetime ID so when you send to one, it goes to all. We also do not want him to have access to all of the contacts on his iPod that my wife has on her iPhone. We use iTunes through a Windows based PC and I have created different users on the PC's to be able to load different music onto each one but cannot figure out how to separate them through iTunes and the App store. We also do not want him to be able to access certain things in the cloud that we have on our devices as well. Help !

  • Do i need a separate log in for each itunes user?

    I have 5 people with Apple products in my house.  Do I need a separate user log on for each person and iTunes?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If all of them use different data, apps, songs..., it's better to create different iTunes libraries for them but without having to create different users.
    To create a new iTunes library, open iTunes while holding down the Shift key, and choose the button to create a new iTunes library. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
