How can I share Catalog with multiple users?

I have Mac OSX 10.7.5
The catalog exists on a shared LOCAL folder that other users have read-write access to
The catalog works fine for the 1st user (no issues viewing, tagging, or updating photos & repairing it yields no issues)
However when I try to open this catalog with any other user I receive an error that the catalog may be corrupt and therefore cannot be opened...
Has anyone been able to share their catalog with multiple users on a Mac?
thanks
-Jay

If anyone runs into the same issue - I figured out why it wasn't working for me. Turns out it was actually an issue with folder permissions.
Despite the catalog being in a shared folder that all users can read/write to - Macs apparently don't understand inheritance & I needed to set the same read/write access to every sub-folder (the catalog folder & all of it's sub folders) as well.
This fixed my issue.
The Catalog is now shared between multiple users on the local drive with all the photos/videos stored on a NAS drive.

    How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
    The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
    The second is a bit trickier.

  • How can I share contacts with Android users via the "share contact" button via messaging or otherwise

    Appologies in advance if this has been asked before.
    I have an iPhone 5/iOS 6. My friend(s) use Android phones. At times, they request a contact I have, but every time I select "Share Contact" via the button in my iPhone's Contact list, either as an Email or Message, they recieve an unusable file format - in other words, it just doesn't get to them. If I manually copy and paste the fields into a txt, they will get the info. Is there an app, or something I need to do differently to be able to share contacts with Android users via the "Share Contact" button in iOS?
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Shouldn't be an issue here, as the iPhone shares the contact info in standard vCard format.

  • How can i share files across multiple user accounts?

    I have four user accounts on the same iMac and I'd like to be able to view the files within each account.  When I try access one of the other three accounts through Finder, the folders have red minus signs on them.  If I try to open one, I get an error message about not have the right authorities.  However, I've given all four user accounts administrator access.  Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.  Do I change the rights by opening the folder, clicking "Get Info" and chaning the permissions to "write and read?"  If so, I did that.  Is there anything else I need to do?

  • In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

    In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
    Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
    Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

    If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

    Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

    No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
    For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:
