How do I share a folder permanently to guest user - no internet connection

Hi, sorry but ive tried looking everywhere and cannot find the answer.
Im the main user and admin of my macbook pro, I have also set up a guest account so any user can login with no password and use the computer.
However, I would like to permanently share 1 folder I have with movies and pictures with the guest account.
I know I can enable folder sharing through the internet, but I dont want that, I all I want is to allow access to one of my folders and make it visible to the guest account.
Is this possible or do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Clinton thanks for your answer.. But it does not work for me. I put the folder under: Users > Shared Folder
and I still cant see it when I log in to the guest session.
I attached 2 screenshots.. Screen 1 shows how I placed the folder "movies" in the shared folder on my main account and Screen 2 shows you what I see when I log in as Guest.
Please let me know if Im doing something wrong,
Thanks,

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

  • How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer

    How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer without taking up twice as much space on my hard drive?

    You would need to move the itunes folder to a location that both users have permissions to access such as the Shared folder or any folder on the root level of the macintosh HD.
    You can find instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 This method allows you to share the content without sharing the same library.

    How do I share my playlists with other accounts/users on my Mac?

    Hello,
    I have a similar question, which I posted 8perhaps inappropriately) in the Home Sharing discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17405588#17405588
    The problem I have is that it simply doesn't work and the question I have is how you do not move the the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file when they are actually in the folder you are told by the article to move in the first place.

  • How do I share my iTunes Library with other "users" on my iMac?

    I have a new iMac that I restored my iTunes Library onto however, the library only appears in the account of the user that performed the restore. How can I share this library with all the users on this new iMac?

    I followed the instructions to the detail, I've also used other sites and they all result in the same message when I try to select my library by holding down option and opening itunes: "The iTunes library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have written permission for this file."
    I do have it located on a second internal hard drive on my mac that is completely empty. And under permissions it says everyone can "read and write". Is there something i"m missing or is it not possible to have it located on an internal drive?

  • How do I share photos and music between different user accounts on the same macbook

    How do I share photos and music between different user accounts on the same Macbook? i.e. I want all to be able to access family photos when logged into their respective accounts. Same goes for the iTunes library. Hope this is possible...
    Thanks!

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • How do I install Acrobat Reader on a computer with no Internet connection?

    I have an elderly friend who does not have Internet access.  She needs to be able view PDF files on her computer which is running Windows 7.  I attempted to download Acrobat Reader install file and put it on a disk to take to her computer and install it there.  When I opened the file, it did nothing.  It just sat there.  When I opened the file a second time, I got a message that it had errors.  She lives 35 miles from me, so I need to get it right the next time!  I would appreciate advice on the following:
    What (free) Adobe PDF reader product / version would be best for her?
    How do I download the necessary file(s) via my computer & Internet connection and copy them to a CD or USB thumb drive, then take the file(s) to her computer, install and get the reader program up and running for her?
    Thank you for your help!

    You can get the full Reader installation from here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/
    This is the XI version, which I think is more suitable for a computer without internet access, as the DC version will just nag you about connecting to the cloud and enabling "mobile link", which you obviously can't do without internet access.
