How can I share a large iPhoto '11 library on multiple computers (I am the user on all) through iCloud?

I have three residences, and in each I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro (sixe devices in total, I do not like carrying computers through airports :-)) and I have an iPhoto '11 Library with 3,000 photos+. I know I can use Photo Stream to access recent photos via iCloud from these multiple devices. My question is: can I create a single iPhoto library stores in iCloud so that all my devices can in fact sync their libraries through iCloud?

No
That is not a feature of iPhoto or iCloud

Create new IDs for each by:
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use that Id only for:
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the new one. Make sure that only that ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the new . Make sure that under You can be reached at only the new ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
Continue to the one one common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores. That is what controls purchases.

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

CeliaJane, you need to distinguish between the Aperture Library and the Aperture Application.
Aperture stores your images in a database, and it is this database that we have to find and probably to repair, not the application (hopefully). And since you do not see any images, I suspect that Aperture created a new, empty Aperture Library,and you are now viewing this empty library. Usully the library sits in your Pictures fiolder.
Look into your Pictures folder, if you see a file with a colorful icon with three pictures, called something.aplibrary, as shown above. And also enter ".applibrary" into the "Spotlight" searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. If you have more than one Library, you should be able to find them this way.
The largest file you find will probably be the correct library.
When you have found the correct file called aperturexxxx.aplibrary, try to open it in "First Aid" mode.
Select the Library and press down "command" and "option" key at the same time, while you double click the library.
Now the First Aid dialogue should appear:
Select: Repair Permissions" and see if you can open the Library again. If it did not help, try the other two options in turn.

How can I "share" or "move" iPhoto content between two acounts on PowerBook

I share my PowerBook with my wife and we both have separate accounts. Problem is that all iPhoto content and iTunes content is on "my" account and she is having to switch from her account to mine in order to utilize content. I rarely use both applications so I would like to know if one of the following solutions exist:
1. can we create one database that allows both of these applications to effectively "share" the same content? So, for example, my wife could download photos from her account as from my account that would go into one single database. (without taking up 2x the memory)? Would like to know if the same solution can be applied to iTunes.
2. if no solution for option 1 exisits, can I somehow "migrate" all the iPhoto/iTunes content from my account to my wife's account?
One idea I have had is to simply synch our iPod on my wife's account. Theoretically, the iPod has all of the iTunes and iPhoto content and should synch up on my wife's account, right? I could then delete the same content from my account and then my wife could use these applications from her account. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Robert

do I understand you correctly that if I simply "import" the "Album" folder
containing our photos
I'm not sure I know what you mean by "import the album folder". If you consult iPhoto Help, you'll see that albums (or album folders) contain no actual photos. I used the terms "Export" and "Import" because those menu options are how you get photos out of and in to an iPhoto database. The alternative is to move (or copy) an iPhoto database (see the various iPhoto Help topics under "photo library basics").
iPhoto was designed as a "personal" photo organizer -- it's not designed to be a multi-user database or a collaborative tool. If you want two different accounts to access the same iPhoto Library folder, then you need to put it somewhere where both accounts have access -- either an external drive (or partition) or one account's Public folder. You'll have to sort out your own collaborative conflicts, should any occur.

How can I import photos from iPhoto '09 to Elements Organizer 10 while keeping the tags attached?

I have spent a ridiculously long time tagging photos in my iPhotos but I would now like to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer and preserve all the work I had done.
From Adobe's help website (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS73c05ee9864270ea-417df45c129593bfa05 -8000.html) it says I can import the tags along with the photos but does not explain how:
"Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library"
When I follow the steps outlined on the website my photos are imported but there are no tags attached to them. I am particularly interested in keeping my facial tags but I suppose it would be useful to know how to keep other keyword tags and ratings as well.
There was a previous question put out on the forums similar to this but it was unresolved and the person decided to just leave everything in iPhoto. I really would prefer to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer. I don't like the way iPhoto organizes photos but I had to deal with it for several years before I bought Elements Photoshop with built-in Organizer.
Please Please help!
Many thanks
D.M.

You don't import one library to another. Just copy the library from the iBook to the Pictures folder on shout new MacBook Pro. If you have another library already on the MBP rename it so you don't overwrite it with the old library.
Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the newly copied library and let iPhoto convert it to the new version.
Do you have photos in the library on the new MacBook Pro that you want to combine with the older library?

How can you share a large (HUGE) video?

I created a 1:07:21 iMovie that is comprised of 3 short videos (20 seconds each) and LOTS of photos with an audio track of music. I was able to make a DVD of the iMovie but I have not been able to share it on You Tube or any other site. I have accounts with You Tube that will let me upload very large video files, but it's still not working. Any suggestions? My goal is to share the higher quality iMovie v. the DVD that has lower quality pictures (i.e. not HD). Thanks!

If you are uploading directly from iMovie and that doesn't work try just exporting your project to a format and then uploading it to the YouTube site.

How can I sync my large aperture photo library between 2 macs?

I have read various solutions to this, but quite frankly cannot determine which is the best for my situation. I keep my master library on my iMac and use a Macbook when traveling. My objective is to be able to share the master library on my Macbook and when I return from my travels, upload a new master library for my iMac. My confusion relates to how A3 uses references for masters and I do not want to lose that logical link when switching back and forth. I am completely willing to take my A3 external drive backup and use it to upload to the Macbook and then reverse the process when I return. Will this work? I have over 20k photos so using Mobile Me or some "cloud" will be much too slow. Both Mac's use Lion. Thanks for your help. David

I could have sworn that I read about a work flow which would be what you need over on http://aperture.maccreate.com but cannot for the life of me find it now.
The closest I came was this: http://aperture.maccreate.com/2010/07/30/share-libraries-between-aperture-users- and-use-dropbox-to-simplify/
From what I remember of the workflow, it focused on leaving the masters behind on the iMac (larger drive) and setting the preview to maxium resolution so that you can view the photos while on the road.
It was something along the lines of:
Set your preview size to maxium
Make all photos referenced instead of managed.
Copy/move your now small library from iMac to laptop
shoot out in the field, import photos as managed.
Move the library back from laptop to iMac
make photos from the recent shoot referenced instead of managed.
If you do the copy/move thing then you have to plan ahead and move the library to the laptop before heading out. This is because Aperture won't let you merge two libraries if they're copies of the same library.
If instead you select a number of (or all) projects and select "export as project" you then have two different libraries - one for your laptop and one for your iMac. You can then merge the two libraries to get photos from one to the other.
Allen points out that merging libraries repeatedly isn't super stable. I don't know; I've never followed this process. This is just what I remember from http://aperture.maccreate.com
What I usually do is make a new library out in the field and just import that into my main library when I get back to to my iMac. Works for me. Of course, I can't show off my older photos, but that's what flickr is for.

How can I share an ibook that is 250 megs with others without using the ibook store

Hello
I'm using ibook author and the book I have created is 250 megs. I'm having trouble sharing it and getting on my new ibook air. Does anyone know if there is a good way to share the file with others without publishing it or using iTunes?
I'd ideally like to use something like Dropbox or my website but every time I try to download the file using one of these sites safari/apple says file not readable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you both for the help and sorry about not replying earlier. I've tried both drop box as well making the ibook downloadable from a website. I've triend to create a step by step list below that better illustrates what is happening.
1) export ibook author file as an xxxxxx.ibooks
2) upload xxxxx.ibooks to dropbox and then send my self a test link
3) using safari i download the xxxxx.ibooks file
4) while still in safari a page opens up with an icon for the xxxx.ibooks file and it has two buttons underneath it- one that says "open with..." and another that says "open in ibooks"
THIS IS WHERE THE IBOOK PROBLEM STARTS
5) I tap on the "open in ibooks" button - nothing happens
6) I tap on the "open with..." button and an icon for the ibook app pops up
7) I tap on the ibook app icon and nothing happens
8) I tap and hold the "open in ibooks" button for 2 plus minutes (the time for holding the button down fluctuates from 45 seconds to 5 minutes)
9) the xxxxxx.Ibooks file opens in the ibook app.
I am very happy that I was able to get the xxxxx.ibooks file to open on my ipad. However, this is not a smooth or intuitive process. I need to share the xxxxxx.ibooks file with many people and I want to find a process for getting them the book that is very easy.
any advice is appreciated
Do you think the problem could be the size of the file?
Thank you

How can I burn music from my iTunes library to CD, while still keeping the track info intact?

I made several CDs for a friend, but when my friend imported the disc into iTunes none of the track names showed up (it just said "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.) This is annoying because it was 8 CDs worth of music (over 150 songs!)
Is there a software or any tool I can use that will allow me to burn music for friends, while still keeping the track info intact?

Yes. Click on this link to purchase gift cards for your friends. They will get nice new tracks with all correct tags.

Have original iPad and just got iPad2 in same household with same email ID but with different interests. How can we share purchased items, email and yet keep our own separate interests?

We have iPad and ipad2 with one email address but two owners. How can we share purchases, receive same email messages but have individual accounts at the same time? Can we have same Apple User ID with different passwords? Hepl!

Aside from the fact that we have hijacked this thread - which we really shouldn't do - you would probably be better off posting questions or seeking advice in the iCloud portion of the Apple Support Communities. I'm sure that there are a lot of more experienced iCloud users on that site than I am.
I'm not a big believer in iCloud at this point, so my experience with it - other than downloading past purchases - is really pretty limited. I would not want to steer you down the wrong path.
However, here is the Apple iCloud support website that is loaded with all sorts of information and links to even more information. This will get you started anyway ....

You can't, currently only the iPhone has the personal hotspot function, it hasn't been enabled on the iPad - whether it will be possible in the future I don't know

How can I share MS Office products with all Users on my Macbook Pro?

The other 3 user accounts on my Mac Pro do NOT have access to Word, Excel, etc. How can I "share" these Applications? They don't show up in my admin user's 'Applications'. I'm new to the Mac (love it so far) and I don't know how to do some basic things yet. Thanks in advance

Duh. In Applications for the other Users I saw the folder 'MS Office 2004'.

How do I share a large file between accounts on my imac

How do I share a large file between accounts on my imac?

Put the file in a folder that both users have access to, such as /Users/Shared or one user's Public folder. You may also need to change its permission settings in the Finder Info window.

Can we share one single RDBMS security store across multiple domains ?

Can we share one single RDBMS security store across multiple weblogic domains? The idea is to utilize the same set of users and group defined in Weblogic Security Realms across multiple weblogic domains. Is it possible ? are there any risk ?
i am using Oracle WebLogicServer11gR1 (10.3.6) Generic with Coherence.

Hi,
The document which you are referring is for WLS 10.0 and RDBMS security is introduced from WLS 10.3.0 onwards.
The reason why RDBMS security store should not be stored between two domains is RDBMS security store is used by authorization, role mapping, credential mapping, and certificate registry providers.
Once the RDBMS security store is configured in a domain, an instance of any of the preceding security providers that has been created in the security realm automatically uses only the RDBMS security store as a datastore, and not the embedded LDAP server.
It is just the replacement for Embedded LDAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Murali.
