Family Package or Two .Mac Accounts

Which is the most economical to use. 2 separate .Mac accounts to a Family package that allows you up to 4 accounts?
I can only find the family pack in dollars rather than pounds.

69 pound single user
120 pound family pack.

  • Using Aperture with two .Mac accounts

    I am moving all of my photos into Aperture 2, and we have two .Mac accounts for my office, one for business and one personal. My assistant's machine is set to the business .Mac account and my machine to my personal .Mac account.
    I would like to keep all of my photos in Aperture but deploy the photos into web galleries and websites on both .Mac accounts. I can see how to handle the web pages by outputting to disk and then dragging them into the right folder in each iDisk. But I can't see how to do this with web galleries. In the past, I've tried changing the .Mac account in the system preferences and then using iPhoto and iWeb. This doesn't seem like a good solution.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Right now, I've having to export the photos from Aperture and import them into iPhoto on my assistant's machine and then publishing the web galleries from her machine. There has to be a better way.
    Thanks,
    Alfred

    Multiple User accounts are the answer.
    Each is independent of the other and stores your iWeb files (on the same machine).

  • Two Mac accounts

    With migrating from .mac to MobileMe, my new iPhone 3g has automatically created two Mac accounts.
    One is called . . . [email protected] and its description (in grey) is "Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks" while the other is called MAC Account and its description in grey is simply "Mail".
    With the first one, under the Account Info everything is ON, with the second one, only Mail is ON and when I try to turn Contacts, Calendars or Bookmarks on, I get a message "Syncing with this account will turn off sync for ". . . ." (my username) and remove its synced data.
    I receive mail to both of these accounts and they both use the same address and the same SMTP.
    What's the wisdom out there ? Which one of the two accounts can I delete ? Would appreciate some advice.

    OVozeh,
    Apple Discussions reputation system is currently disabled, or I would be flagged as an Apple Employee.
    If it is the same username for both, it is the same account entered twice.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.
    EDIT: Reiterating If the username is the same in both accounts when you look at them it is one account for MobileMe formerly known as .Mac.
    If the usernames are different you need to decide which one you want to sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks with.
    Deleting accounts from the iPhone only deletes the account settings on the iPhone only, not the account itself on the server.

  • Two .mac accounts - different calendars - same computer

    I apologize if this has been asked before, but I cannot find it.
    Is it possible to publish calendars to different .mac accounts from the same computer? I have access to two .mac accounts. One is for work, one is for personal uses. I have several calendars for each. How can I publish the work calendars to the work account and the personal calendars to the personal account without changing the .mac system preferences every time?
    Ctd

    Yes, that could work, but I find "fast" user switching to be hardly fast at all. Besides, you would lose immediate access to everything else you are doing just because you want to add something to a calendar.
    Any other ideas out there?

  • Using a common library between two Mac accounts

    My wife and I are using our first Mac and taking/organizing pictures is a passion for both of us. Aperture is proving to be a great product, but one failing thus far is our ability to use a common Aperture library that we can use from both of our Mac accounts.
    I have placed our Aperture Library in a shared folder and updated the permission on this library file (package actually) and all its enclosed files to allow Read/Write for both of our accounts. While each of our accounts can launch Aperture and view the pictures, once an edit is made, thumbnails regenerated, new pictures uploaded, etc..., Aperture keeps changing the file permissions on the underlying files (like the thumbnail file) to Read/Write only to the current account and Read to the staff/everyone group. Essentially, any previous permissions that I may have added are wiped away by Aperture . The primary effect of this is that the thumbnails basically disappear when being viewed from the other account (i.e., they are all gray).
    Does anyone know a workaround for this problem? It seems like there should be a way to tell Aperture to use the default permissions assigned to its Aperture Library package. Any help would be most appreciated since my only "workaround" thus far is to always use Aperture from one of our accounts.

    Well, I believe you are correct with the native OS; however, there was a nifty little workaround that seems to be the fit I was looking for:
    1. I created a new Image that will store the Aperture Library with "no ownership"
    2. I set the permissions on the resulting .dmg file to Read&Write for me, my wife, everyone, and staff.
    3. I moved my existing Aperture Library file onto the new image.
    4. I created the following AppleScript and saved it as an "Application" type (which launches when you click it)
    -- We must unmount (detach) the AperturePhotos image in order
    -- to make sure the launcher of Aperture is the one who mounts the disk image.
    -- This way, the launcher becomes the "owner" of the image and all files are Read/Write to owner
    tell application "Finder"
    if (exists "AperturePhotos") then
    do shell script "hdiutil detach /Volumes/AperturePhotos"
    end if
    do shell script "hdiutil attach /Users/Shared/ApertureImage.dmg"
    end tell
    -- Simply launch Aperture after mounting the Aperture Image
    tell application "Aperture"
    activate
    end tell
    5. Changed the icon of the AppleScript file to the Aperture Icon and place this script in the Dock
    6. Changed the Aperture preferences to find the library on the new volume.
    What this now does for me is automatically unmounts and remounts the disk image as the person launching Aperture and therefore becomes the owner of the files while using the app. It works just like I wanted. Hopefully, I will not run into any snags along the way .
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Two people two.mac accounts can we share directly

    I share an office with another company. We work together on mutipul projects and we want to keep our icals synced, but the other guy doesn't want them to be posted on the net. We want to directly sync them. We both have .mac accounts.
    The only way I saw to do this was for him to switch to my .mac. and sync his computer as if it were one of mine. He then keeps his calender and i keep mine. But then he looses his .mac capabilites. His computer only sees my .mac. Am I just doing this wrong, or is what I am trying to do not an option.
    Also, I have to keep ical running all day because if i close it and reopen it the launch takes like 4 minutes for it to open, and when I sync of the two calenders... (no calender groops and we are not managing on line) it takes FOREVER. I guess I just would like it to run like a networked calender between my 4 computers and his two. All with the same sub calender info.
    Is that possiable? we run 10.4.2 on a g5 w/two1gigs, two powerbook g4's, one g4 w/duel 1gigs and and two mini's

  • How do I add an email address for a family member to my .mac account?

    Can I add an email address for my mother to my .mac account?  I'd like to set up, manage and pay for an email address for her use.  I thought this was possible but can't seem to navigate myself to the place where I can get an additional address.

    So, after further reading I assume that I must ad an apple id for my mother.  Is this correct?  Can I, as the responsible party, control purchases and apps that are added to the device I have provided her?  I'm not so worried about what she might do as I am what a grandchild might do without her knowledge.

  • Contacts with two .mac accounts on my phone

    The phone asks if I want to turn "on" contacts on each .mac account I have (I have 2) so if I turn on contacts for both where would the second appear?
    Im confused.

        Hi lilbum1!
    You can definitely un-sync your contacts from Facebook on your iPhone 5. Just go to settings/Facebook/Contacts/
    Look for the section entitled “Allow These Apps to Use Your Account.” Underneath it you should see Calendar, Contacts and Facebook. Slide the Contacts button to the off setting.

  • One computer, two user accounts, two libraries - how to share??

    My husband and I each have an account on our Dell computer. We each have an iTunes library and would like to have the two libraries shared with each other. We've put them in the shared documents, shared music folder. We also set our preferences in each of our iTunes accounts the location of the library. My library updated to the shared account, but without any of the music purchased from his account. His library shows no music at all - it won't update to the shared file. When we open the shared music folder - all the music is there. It just doesn't come through to iTunes. Help!!!

    Hi Lou18,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions
    If you have used iChat to enter two .mac account screen names then you have to view it as one iChat. Whichever settings one of you sets then that will be the settings the other sees.
    However if you mean you have set up two Mac User Accounts on the Mac you will need to check that she is actually opening her Mac user account and has not added her .mac details to your iChat.
    There is a possibility that you are talking about Family Accounts or a email Alias for one .mac account in which case one of you will need to use a different screen name for iChat.
    Now this new Name can be AIM or a trial .mac.com name as these will work after the 60 days is up. It is the Linked .mac accounts that do not work for iChat.

  • Can't send email from one specific .mac account

    I have two .mac accounts on three different machines. My main email account gives me "cant send with server smtp message..." use a different server. I can send just fine with my other .mac acct on the same machine. But I can't send from my main .mac acct on any of the machines or the web client at home or work. I have created a new user from scratch and set up the .mac acct on it and still get the errors. So it doesn't seem to be a problem specific to machine, user, or network. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    In your Account setup (via Mail Preferences) you may have to set up an Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) entry. As an example I have a IMAP account and a POP account. The IMAP account has the server smtp.<imap_domain>.com and the POP account has mail.<pop_domain>.net.au. I also have other domain entries which come into play if I am visiting friends or colleagues and need to send or receive mail via their broadband links which have ISP's that differ to mine.

  • Family Sharing won't work because I have two separate accounts for iCloud and iTunes

    I have two Apple accounts, one that is connected to my iTunes Store purchases, and another for iCloud. I had to do this for reasons related to transitioning from the old MobileMe service to iCloud a few years ago.
    So now with Family Sharing, if I use my iTunes account, I can't share calendars or other iCloud type information, and if I use my iCloud account I can't share my music and app purchases.
    Is there anything I can do to remedy this? Can I combine everything into a single account somehow?

    Under "Setting up Family Sharing" here: https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/family-sharing/ it says:
    "You can accept a Family Sharing invitation from any compatible iOS device or Mac where you are signed into iCloud. Or, if the organizer is nearby, they can simply ask you to enter your iCloud Apple ID and password during the setup process. To complete setup, you will also confirm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes, iBooks, and App Stores so you can share your purchases with family members."
    This suggests that you can specify a different ID for the iTunes store if you aren't using your iCloud ID for purchasing.

  • How do I create two iWeb sites using a single .Mac account?

    I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
    When I read related forum posts, it would seem to me that one site would overwrite the other site when I publish. Yes or no?
    iBook 1.2 mhz, G4   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  
    iBook 1.2 mhz, G4   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  
    iBook 1.2 mhz, G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iLife 06

    I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using
    iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is
    this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
    If you just do the obvious and use File > New Site in iWeb, you do create two distinct sites with different urls. However, you cannot exactly duplicate page names in the sites or publish changes in one without publishing changes in the other. The short default url web.mac.com/username/iWeb normally goes to the top site on the list within iWeb.
    If you create two sites with distinct names in different accounts on your machine, they should not overwrite each other, and they should also have distinct urls. However I think that the
    index.html file which tells browsers what to do with the default short url web.mac.com/username/iWeb may get confused, so that deleting that or modifying it manually might be desirable.

  • ICHAT NEWBIE--ONE .MAC ACCOUNT; TWO PARENTS

    Hi all,
    I am separated from my family and we bought two iSight cameras and hoped to use iChat AV to keep in touch. We have a full .Mac account, and I thought that the 'multiple logins' feature would allow us to both logon and do video chat. But this doesn't seem to work. We can both see ourselves, but cannot invite each other to 'chat'.
    Any advice on how to fix this is highly appreciated.
    Jim

    Hi Janes,
    iChat 2.x could by defualt allow you to use the screen nmae on multiple computers in different locations amd text chat.
    It would not let your do Video chats (or Audio ) only chats.
    iChat 3.0 through 3.0.1 did not allow multiple logins.
    iChat 3.1 does givee you the option of Mutiple logins but you will still be able to onlt Text chat with that.
    You will need a separate screen name either a Trial .mac account which will work in iChat afteer the 60 days or an AIM name.
    Links to both access points are on this page http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/work/11/
