Have multiple users but want only one iphoto library...

How do I set up my accounts so that there is only 1 iphoto library on the machine?
I don't want to worry about whether pictures were downloaded from camera by me or my husband.
Thanks in advance.

If you have an external drive, put the library there and use Get Info to "Ignore ownership on this volume." You will each have equal access to the library.
If you don't have an external drive, you can do the same thing with a partition.

    I wanted if someone connects to WLAN "MO-GUEST" automatically the user should be redirected to http://10.229.3.99/login.html and once authenticated by 10.229.3.99 , he/she should be allowed to access anything as normal. [ actually i just want automatic url redirection for the first time for the user of wlan "MO-GUEST"

  • Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?

    Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?
    IPads and iPod Touches don't seem to have the same media copying restriction that my iPhone has. My main computer is at home. I have music at home and at work and sometimes I like to add it to my iPhone from work. I can do this no problem using my iPad or my iPod touch, but when it comes to my iPhone, I can only copy music to it from my main computer.
    Why would the iPhone have this restriction but not the other two devices?
    ps. Where's my "add currently playing song to playlist" button? I can't even find a third-party music app with this feature.

    Because...!
    I've no idea why either.
    Although it isn't normally possible to sync an iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers (or manually manage an iPhone from more than one) it can be achieved if all computers have copies of the self same library. See Re: how do i sync on a second laptop without the data on my iPhone 5 being erased?

  • Multiple users identified when only one on the machine - me

    I am experiencing very slow internet communication and when trying to download latest App from Apple the guidance tells me that I need to shut down 'multiple users' when I am the only user shown on our machine.  We did suffer a power cut a few days ago when the computer was being used.  Would this 'upset' the system into thinking that it is still in use by the 'other user(s)' - is it possible to 'reset' to in effect clear this - I am using TimeMachine. 
    Normally I get good but not brilliant internet response but since the power cut we do seem to be running very slow - well that's out anaylis so far but any other suggestions as to how to get back to normal would be welcome.
    I have run MacKeeper to see if it can find anything untoward.
    Rodney

    Hi Rodney
    Let me address your issues in reverse order.
    First, Mackeeper is extremely bad software, and is very often the cause of slow Macs. My recommendation is that you uninstall it immediately, and see if that improves your speed.
    http://help.mackeeper.zeobit.com/Manual/GettingStarted/UninstallingMacKeeper.htm l
    Next, can you describe what "app" you are downloading from Apple? Is it a software update?
    How much hard drive space do you have available? Click cmd-i on your Macintosh HD shortcut and look at the "available" value.
    It would be helpful if you could include your version of OS X in your profile. You say "iOS 7" which is iPhone/iPad software, not Mac software.

  • Multiple Qaawses but use only one Qaaws at a time

    Hi,
    In Dashboard , I have two Qaawses (Qaaws1 and Qaaws2). When I am trying to generate SWF file both the qaawses are running. My requirement is, in Excel file I will set a flag value in one cell (0/1).
    If the cell value is '0' then the Dashboard should use only Qaaws1.
    If the cell value is '1' then the Dashboard should use only Qaaws2.
    In essence my requirement is, even though multiple Qaawses are present in Dashboard, the Dashboard should be able to use only one Qaaws at a time based on my requirement (i.e., based on flag bit value 0/1).
    Can any one suggest,  solution for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi David,
    Thank you very much for the response and sorry for the delay.
    Our actual scenario is a s follows:
    We pass customer id and shipper Group Id as an input parameters to the flash variables from front end (through Java program). And these two values will written in Excel cells (let say Customer id in A1, and Shipper Group Id in B1)
    Now there are two Qaawses, Qaaws1 and Qaaws2 in the xlf in addition to flash variables.
    Qaaws 1 query is as follows :
    select * from shp_details where customer id = A1
    Qaaws 2 query is as follows :
    select * from shp_details where customer id = A1 and ShipperGroup_id = B1
    On front end we have two drop downs, Dropdown1  is for customer id and Dropdown2 is for Shipper Group Id.
    When we select an item in Dropdown1, from front end we pass only Customer Id and when we select an item in Dropdown2, we pass both Customer Id and Shipper Group Id.
    Our requirement is,
    When we select Dropdown1 (we are passing only customer id), we expect only Qaaws1 to be executed.
    When we select Dropdown2 (we are passing  both customer id and shipper Group Id), we expect only Qaaws2 to be executed.
    Please let me know, if I need to provide any further clarification.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Multiple Users....One iTunes Library

    I am looking find a easier solution to a iTunes multiple user problem I have encountered.Firstly I have followed the steps outlined on numerous articles here to move the music content out of the home folder and move it to the first level of the harddrive and to link all users to this library through the advanced option within iTunes. This I can do no problem and works fine for using the on music content between two users.
    Now here is where I am looking for assistance...At the moment when I link the second user to this music library, I must input all playlists and song ratings from scratch. I would like to move my iTunes preferences from one user to the other.Basically I have one music library that is many playlists broken down by artists and also this music is rated. I would like to be able to have this info move across to the other user also.
    I have tried a few things to solve this but the end result was moving playlist/song ratings from the main user to the second user....which would have been perfect, but the main user lost this info when I attempted this.
    Is this possible....sorry for the long winded explanation and I do hope you can understand the problem that I am trying to explain

    Brent, A key is to understand the difference between a library and the music folder. The iTunes Library file is a file that acts as a directory or catalog for a music collection. The Music Folder is where the actual holdings, or files, of the music collection are stored. When you set the music folder location in Preferences:Advanced, you tell iTunes where to store future music files you add to your holdings. Apparently, you have iTunes set up so different user accounts are saving new music files to the same music folder. However, those different users are each using their own library file, and that's why you're not sharing the same directory information across different user accounts.
    What you have to do is get each user account to use the same library file, which for at least all but the first user is not going to be the default iTunes Library file that is automatically created in each user's iTunes folder. That is what the instructions in the previous post involving launching iTunes with the Option key accomplish.

  • I have a game but it only for one apple id and one divece but someone i dont know id play that game and using my apple id and i want to know if u can block them from using ur apple id and also erase all the games they downlode with the apple id

    There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
    You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password.  There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

  • I have several iPhoto and aperture libraries... i want to get to one iPhoto library keeping only the latest photos. How can I do this?

    Okay... I made the mistake of creating duplicate Aperture libraries because I decided I wanted to only use Aperture - then the news that Aperture is no longer going to be developed. I then confused myself and created duplicate iPhoto libraries (I can't even remember why anymore). At one point or another I have edited pictures in all of them and have no idea which pictures were edited. I just want to have one iPhoto library with the most recently edited photos and remove all the duplicates.
    What is the best way to do this?
    And... after doing all that, I need to keep backups of my photos on an external drive. What is the best way to do this?
    iPhoto version 9.5.1
    Thank you so much for any advice you can provide!

    You can merge libraries into one with Aperture 3.3. or later.
    Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
    In merge-mode it will only keep the photos from one of the libraries.
    And you can use Aperture to export partial libraries containing only the selected albums, projects, etc.
    If you need to keep projects (books, calendars, cards) when merging your libraries, use Aperture and not iPLM:

  • Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad.  On my account it says ID is only for 1 system.  I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

    It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.

  • I have a few hundred duplicates in my iPhoto library, but the file sizes are different.  So one is 1.3mb and one is 567kb.  I want to delete the smaller ones, but short of comparing each duplicate, is there a way to do this?

    I have a few hundred duplicates in my iPhoto library, but the file sizes are different.  So one is 1.3mb and one is 567kb.  I want to delete the smaller ones, but short of comparing each duplicate, is there a way to do this?  I've been looking at Duplicate Annhilator but I don't think it can do it.
    Thanks!

    I just ran a test with iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner, Duplifinder and Photodedupo.  I imported a folder of 5 photos into a test library 3 times, allowing iPhoto to import duplicates.  I then ran the 5 photos thru resizer to reduce their jpeg compression but all other aspects of the file the same.
    None of the duplicate removal apps found set that was reduced in the file resizer. That's probably due to the fact that the file creation date was being used as a criteria and the resized photo would have a different file creation date even though the Image Capture date was the same.
    They all found the 3 regular duplicates and some of them would mark two and leave the 3rd unmarked.  iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner can sort the found duplicates by file size but if the file was edited to get the reduced file size it might not be found as it would have a different file creation/modification date. 
    iPhoto Library Manage was able to find all duplicates and mark them as such if the file names were the same the the filename option was selected.  Otherwise it also missed the modified, resized version.  It allowed one to select the one photo to save before going to work on the library.
    So if a photo has been reduced in image quality or pixel size it will not be considered a duplicate.

  • Multiple users access one iPhoto library and view and edit

    I have 3 Macs and 5 users in our family. I'd like to have one iPhoto library that any user can access from any of the machines and view and/or edit. I don't need simultaneous access (which from reading posts I can see is not possible in iPhoto).
    If I move the library to external HD will I be able to access the libary from each Mac over Wi-Fi? From what I read I'd need to hold ALT when opening iPhoto in each user account, on each Mac, and choose the library on the external drive.
    If I set it up like this then once photos imported any user can see them, and edit if they want to? Presumably any Projects would be in the one central library rather tan being specific to a particular user?

    Yes and no
    the hard drive that the iPhoto sits on must be formatted Mac OS extended (jorunaled)
    iPhoto is not a multi user program and if two different people edit atthe same time it will not wrok correctly
    Most importantly WiFi is not a reliable connection and has many dropouts - if you edit over WiFi you are highly likely to lose data and corrupt yoru library - it is not a good idea - viewing is slow but will work

  • Can you have multiple users working off the same Mac pro at the same time with multiple monitors but doing different things?

    I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!

    A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
    Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
    If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation.

  • Hi. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but it appears on a dim letters and i can not open it.

    Hi. I need some help on the following problem. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but is was not the icon on it i previously remembered and it appears on a dim letters and it can not be opened ... How can i recover it??

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

    why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

        Hello there Laurengrayce,
    I message all of the time and I want you to do the same, to anyone you would like!  Demmo provided a good suggestion of having this person check their services and ensuring they're setup as a 10-digit number, but I would like to provide some of my own suggestions.
    If they are in fact already setup as a 10-digit number, I would recommend deleting this persons contact from your phone as well as the entire messaging thread (long press and hold on thread to delete).  Readd them to your contact list and try again.
    Please advise if this continues and they've already checked with their provider.
    Thanks,
