How can I share my library (apps, songs) between 2 computers

Hello!
Well, here are my "problems":
1) Sharing libraries
2 Macs (1 desktop and 1 macbook), Apple TV (3rd gen), iPad, iPhone and Time Capsule (2 tb).
My library (apps, songs) is in the macbook. I would like to share that library between macbook and iMac. So if I buy an app in the macbook, it will appear in the iMac. That would be great to sync the iPhone/iPad in any computer.
Is that possible?
2) Pictures / Movies (home-made movies)
I put all my pictures/movies in a folder in the Time Machine. Is it possible to share it with the Apple TV? Something like creating a library in iPhoto or something like that?
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
Mauricio

And to add further,
If the printer connected to your wireless network, you may perform a full installation over the network.
As long as your Windows 7 desktop connected to your router by ethernet cable, it should be able to communicate with the printer.
Simply install the Full software for network connection.
Than you will get any feature from both of the PCs and each one will not be depands on the other..

How do I share pictures, videos, and songs between 2 iPhones on 1 iMac?

How do I share pictures, videos, and songs between 2 iPhones on 1 iMac? My wife and I shoot pictures and video at the same event and want to share them in 1 iPhoto event. We have music that we want to share and load onto our respective iPhones. And we DON'T want to muddle our contacts, apps, or other goodies.
I tried to set up a shared folder for the pictures, and set us a login for each of us. I must have missed a step or two because it didn't work.
Please spell it out. Please provide the steps and check marks, or a link to an Apple Support doc that makes it easy.
Thanks,
Ed

I bought a Mountain Lion upgrade for $20 off the Apple site. I have four other Macs all under the same ID. How can I share the new OS with other computers. Or can I?

You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's). You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.

How can I share pictures in an iMac between users

Hi,
I would like to know how can I share pictures in an iMac between different users.
Thank you

Where are the pictures located? Do the users have their own, separate accounts on the iMac?

How Can I Share iPhoto Library/Keywords Among Multiple Users

Hi there! I am having a bit of a dilemma where I am trying how I can have several users access a shared iPhoto library (as well as retain their own personal iPhoto libraries). Basically, I have a handful of (three) users that need to be able to store/search against a common shared photo library - ideally, in iPhoto.
I understand that I can share albums through iPhoto (users are using a mix of iPhoto '08 and '09) on one account as long as iPhoto is running - a serious drawback. When I tried sharing photos via this method I was able to see the shared albums; however the keywords that were defined for those photos were not available. This presents two questions:
1) Can iPhoto share its library among multiple users (including keywords, etc) so that if a user account (let's call it "media") shares out selected albums that the viewing users (user1 and user2) can search against the keywords in the host library? Or is this not possible with iPhoto?
2) Is there another way of sharing photos that is more efficient and can be hosted on our private servers? The interface in iPhoto is amazing - and if there was an application that allowed for that same sort of feel/tagging we would be good to go...

Well here is the weird thing. If I was sharing out the library from my computer, I could search for the keywords (and obtain results) as expected. However, if I went to another computer that was viewing my shared library, searching by the same keyword did not return any results.

How can I share itunes library across 5 users on a single iMac?

I have a new iMac and have set up 5 user accounts for each member of the family. My account is the administrator account. All of the iTunes music is in the Music folder of my user area. I would like all users to have access to this library. I have tried making the music folder a shared one and selecting it when in iTunes from other user areas but can't make it work. Any advice?

Hi itnumbskull,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
See this article for some steps that can help share your iTunes library between accounts:

How can you share a library across several modules

We have a flex app that is comprised of several modules. We have a library that needs to be used across many of those modules. Is there a way to only have one single copy of the library that all modules can share? Or are we forced to put a copy of the library in each modules libs folder?
I tried to put the library into the main application's lib folder, but the modules would not compile.
Thanks!

Add the SWC to the library-path options of the other modules Project Properties.

How can one share iTunes Library across two machines at the same time?

**I have setup 1 of 2 machines to host all the songs in my iTunes library. I then went to machine 2 of 2 and held down option key on start up of iTUnes, changed the location of the liobrary on machine 2 to a shared folder on machine 1.**
**This works awesome and I can use itunes on each of the machines 1 and 2 with no duplicate library in my home.**
**Problem: I can only run one machine at a time. I can not run itunes on both machines at the same time. The error message from machine 2 is ITUNES library is locked and cant write to the folder. iTunes works correct if I QUIT iTunes on machine 1.**
**Can iTunes run at the same time on 2 machines and access the same library?**
*Thank You Troy*

How can I share a library (or other image files) across computers

Hi All;
My wife and I are both freelance photographers. We recently bought aperature ad per the license agreement installed it on my laptop and her mac desktop. We also just bought a 2-Terabyte network RAID storage array.
I want to be able to pull up the images on the network array from either machine (via aperature)
What's the best way to do this ?
Thanks in advance

First off, even if you are allowed to install it on both computers Aperture will not let you run two copies on the same subnet with the same serial number at the same time.
Second, Aperture is not designed as a multi-user concurrent access application. The workflows that I have helped people design for multiple photographers do not revolve around accessing the the same library at the same time. They are more like a project check-out/check-in when more than two people contribute to what ends up being a consolidated library. I have monkeyed around and gotten what you ask to work but it is highly inadvisable due to the nature in the way Aperture accesses and modifies the data (a disaster waiting to happen if you access it concurrently). You can share masters but that is pretty much useless if you are working on the same images. If you are not I would suggest something more along the lines of what I have outlined here:

How can I share iPhoto library between users on same mac. External hard drive has not worked.

I need to share and edit photos between users on one mac. I have tried sharing the file on an external drive but this has caused all sorts of problems with photos disappearing and/or not being able to be edited. I was hoping iCloud sharing or family would work but being on the same machine I need the main iCloud account active at all times. This is a workplace so the second user has minimal access permissions.

okay I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but i just imitated the same scenario on my mac and it seems to work fine. I made sure to change permissions of the shared folder AND the the actual photo library. I gave everyone access to everything (as far as the folder & library was concerned). I uploaded & viewed from both accounts. You might want to view permissions of your entire disk in disk utility to make sure there isn't an error.. Make a backup first though.
The permissions will not stick. Earlier iPhoto versions did allow this, because iPhoto did not write to an iPhoto Library if you only wanted to browse it, but with iPhoto '11 the behaviour changed. Opening an iPhoto Library from a different account will write files with changed ownership right into the library, and that will cause problems if you edit or tag photos from a second account. The document I linked to in my earlier post is Apple Support's answer to these permission problems, when using a shared folder: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users

How can I share my library with my daughter ?

I have an iphone and my daughter has an iphone. We have 2 different itunes account and one network library. itunes will not let me transfer music to her account from the main library. It comes up with a red circle with a slash through it. I have already given permission for homesharing, so I am stuck.

See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 it probably has to do with computer authorizations.

How can i share my library with my new computer when the itunes on the new computer does not have the "look for shared libraries" command in the preferences/shared pane?

It worked fine before i updated the most recent update, My old computer readds the new one but the new one does not read the old one now.

Is the iTunes library actually shared on the old computer?
I have never had a need for forcing iTunes to look for shared libraries, it simply detects them.

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.
