How do we sync contacts and calendars (ONLY) between two iCloud accounts, two iPhones and one iMac with two user accounts?

This is complex. Until today we had one iMac with two user accounts - one for me and the other for my wife. We sync'd our calendars and contacts between our two user accounts using my iCloud account, thereby keeping our schedules coordinated and our contacts information always the same between us. Also, as I had an iPhone, I sync'd my phone with my iCloud account, thereby keeping the contacts and calendars in the two user accounts on the iMac AND my iPhone sync'd. (I also sync'd other things, like Notes and Mail and Safari settings, between my iPhone and my user account on the iMac, but my wife did not want to be burdened with all my emails showing up in her email account and I wasn't interested in hers, etc., so we didn't sync anything between us other than calendars and contacts.)
We've finally bought my wife an iPhone and set up an iCloud account for her. And of course she now wants to sync several items from HER account on our iMac to HER iPhone, but I don't want them, just as she doesn't want all of my other stuff. But we still want our mutual calendars and contacts to sync to HER new iPhone, just like they already do to mine. But I can't figure out how to CHANGE her iMac user account from using MY iCloud account on the iMac to using HER new iCloud account, and then having HER iCloud account speak to MY iCloud account but share JUST our calendars and contacts.
Originally I tried a workaround by simply having her iPhone log into my iCloud account. That works great for the calendars and the contacts. But...she can't sync anything else from her iMac account to her new iPhone because she's presently "forced" to use my iCloud account. And neither of us want to sync our other things to each other's iMac accounts or iPhones. Also as we're both using my iCloud account, in things like the Find My iPhone app, the Cloud is seeking two phones labeled with my name and none with her's. So we definitely don't want this as the set-up and communications network between our devices.
We want to set up our users on the iMac to sync to our SEPARATE AND DIFFERENT iCloud accounts and then have those iCloud accounts sync calendars and contacts (ONLY) between themselves, and then push that data to our separate iPhones (or the other way, from either of our iPhones to the individual accounts on our iMac and the other person's iPhone). Does this description make sense to you? I've diagramed it nicely using Keynote, but even thiough I can draw it, I can't figure out how to set up and configure all the devices to make it work. If you would like me to send the Keynote slides (just two of them - the current and desired configurations - please send your email address to me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to forward it to you.
If anyone can help me set this up I'd be most appreciative! Thanks so much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all readers in this community!

I had the same problem, and decided to look into it last night.
First of all, the solution I would like to have is for Apple to allow for selection of iCloud accounts per application, i.e. Contacts to one, Photo Stream to another. I believe this would be the most straight forward solution for the problem we are facing.
Since this is not an option I came up with a workaround. I was most interested in solving this for Contacts, so this is what I tested for. Now I have all 3 devices with the same contacts.
1) Turn off iCloud for Contacts on all devices. On the device that has the Contacts list that you would like to propagate to all others select to keep the contacts, and on the others select not to keep them.
Note that the current backups still exist on iCloud, so in case something goes wrong you can still turn the iCloud for Contacts back on to get your current Contacts back.
2) In iTunes, sync All Contacts with the phones, starting with the one with the Contacts content you chose to keep.
From this point on, the 3 devices should sync contacts with each other.
This, of course, will stop your iCloud backups of Contacts, but I don't think this is really needed. You are already storing copies of your Conacts on 3 devices, which for good parts of the day are likely not all co-located. You also potentially have Time Machine backups turned on, which would mean there is a 4th copy there as well. For the case of Contacts iCloud only complicates matter ... that is until Apple implements the solution I first wrote about.

Sharing one library with two user accounts.

I want to share one iTunes library with two user accounts on the same iMac.
I've followed the tutorial where you move the iTunes Music folder to a shared location HD/Shared/iTunes and then pointed both iTunes to that location via the advanced menu, but only the admin account has the music. The other user account iTunes shows nothing.
Also, I've now moved the music folder back to my area on the HD (not shared any more) and now the iTunes music folder shows all the album folders where before I guess they were hidden. Why and how do I get it back to how it was...?
All we're trying to do is share one mac. My wife and I have our own log in user accounts, but want to have the same music and iPhotos accessible on our own set-ups.
Thanks for any help.

Out of interest I got this to work.
I made a folder called 'All Music' and put all the album folders in it.
Moved this folder to User/Shared/ and then clicked on the file, and Get Info.
In Get Info added my wife to Sharing & Permissions as Read & Write.
In iTunes / Advanced found the folder on my user account, and then did the same on my wife's account and hit add to library.
I hope this was the right way to do it..... It seems to have worked.

FireFox will NOT load dependably. One day it loads, although barely, the next day it will not load at all [like today].

See the question/statement.
FireFox, for a number of months now, will not load two days in a row. One day it might load, then next it will not. This has been going on for way too long.
I do NOT like having to use MS Explorer.
Can yu please fix YOUR software?

You could try the new Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back to your current folder, if you like, using Firefox's Profile Manager. (See [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] -- don't delete anything just yet; use this dialog to switch back and forth as needed.)
Does it work better after a reset?

Firefox will not run for mulitple instances of the SAME user account on Windows Multipoint Server 2011

We have an HP MS6200 MulitSeat PC
It is running Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 (which appears to be a tweaked version of Windows 7)
It is set up in a computer lab, and students log in using their shared room account - ie multiple instances of the same user accounts are running on the PC at the same time.
The first student to run Firefox can work with it without problem.
However when another student tries to start firefox they get the following message:
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I managed to get this to work by using:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profile "%temp%\ffprof" -no-remote
This works because Windows assigns a different temp location for each instance of a user
Thanks for your help

How do I best share all photos on one iMac with two user accounts?

I recently bought an iMac and Aperture. I am converting from a windows-based platform. My immediate pain point is the ability to share one library in Aperture under both my account and my wife's user account(like we do our iTunes, for example). We would both like access to all the photos, and I am searching for the simple way to both store them and manage them. Either of us may download the pics from our Canon 40D at any point, and our current photo count is nearing 40k & 175GB (and increasing rapidly).
I have read several support articles about where to place the library, most of those articles are dated around 2008. I have the library in the "shared" folder, not in a user folder. I have set the permissions so that each of our accounts have "read & write" access. My wife's user account is unable to access the library.
I currently have the original files in a directory structure sorted by years, then essentially events, and have not imported anything besides some test photos into Aperture.
Any advice on how to optimize our set-up so we can both view / sync to iPhones / manage / etc our collective photos would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

First off all I would recommend against shating between accounts since Aperture was not designed for this and your might encounter library corruption.
You might try this tip on Macworld.com. It requires you to use the Terminal though. Make sure you follow the commands exactly, without any typo's before you hit the enter key to execute a command. (And make a TimeMachine backup before you start.)
After you've complete this, start a new library in the place where you set the extended permissions on. Then everything should work.
A seccond tip is to setup the Aperture library on an external drive and set this volume(drive) to ignore ownership permissions.

Firefox is only displaying one of the two user profiles on my computer

I just added my husband onto my computer by creating a user profile for him. It seemed fine at first, but then it disappeared.After researching the problem I think what probably happened was that I forgot to uncheck the "Don't ask at start up" box in the Firefox-choose user profile box. How can I get back to this box and uncheck it? I can't find it.

Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each user with its own profile.

One of the user accounts on my computer cannot access the start up disk or its user folder.

I have two user accounts on my computer, both with administrator permissions. One account appears to function normally; however, when I log in to the other account, the System Disk does not appear on my desktop, and does not appear in Finder either. When I ran the disk utility as the user with the problem account, I was instructed to repair the Disk by restarting in recovery mode. Running the Disk Utility in recovery mode was unsuccesful. I received a message saying the disk could not be repaired, and that I should back up what I could, then reformat. I exited the utility and restarted my computer logging in under the user that does not appear to have a problem. I ran disk utility as this user; however, this time the utility reports that everything seems to be okay. I log back in with the problem account and the problem stil exists. I cannot see the system disk.

Thanks for your help. I didn't see your tip until after I had decided to delete the user account then recreate it. When I recreated the account, I thought I was still in trouble, because the disk did not appear on my desktop or in finder. Then I saw your tip to check the preferences. I changed the preferences and now I am able to see the disk in finder and on the desktop. Your tip to check Finder preferencese was something I did not know about. I am not sure how they were changed. I don't remember ever changing them. I guess thinking about it more, the default option may be to have the disk hidden from the desktop and finder, In the which case I was simply remembering wrong.
The only thing that puzzles me still is why when I ran Disk Utility on the one account, it indicated that the disk needed to be repaired, but that it was unable to repair the disk, though, when I ran Disk Utility on the other account, it said everything was okay. After deleting and recreating the account, Disk Utility no longer indicates any problems. It looks like there was something wrong, just don't know exactly what. At anyrate, it is all fixed, and I now know about the finder and desktop view options. Glad it wasn't something more serious. Thanks for your help.

Firefox does not load by clicking he icon why .have to restart to load

firefox does not load.click the icon noyhing happens. I have to restart or log out for firefox to load

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox will not open more than one window and upon restarting will not open the previous tab and refuses to open bookmarks

Firefox does not open more than one window. I can open plenty of tabs, but not more than one window. Upon closing firefox and trying to restart the browser will not open and needs to be closed through windows task manager. Upon trying to re-open Firefox I receive the 'oops this is embarassing , firefox cannot re-open your tabs" message. When I click on "new session" the bookmarks do not load. It is becoming very frustrating as I am a student and often do lots of research on the web while using lots of open windows.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.

Firefox will not load no matter what I try (safe mode whatever). It only loads if I run it inside Comodo sandbox! How do I get it to run the normal way?

Firefox will not load the normal way (clicking on a link or running it from Run window or even running it in safe mode). It only runs if I dig down to the installed directory, right-click firefox.exe and select "Run inside Comodo Sandbox". I have Comodo Internet Security Suite installed but this does not happen with other programs. Do send in your suggestions. Re-install did not help.

Are you using a fresh, separate, profile for the Firefox 4 beta version or do you share the profile with the Firefox 3.6.x version?
If you share the profile then create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.
