How do I share an Aperture project with another computer?

My wife and I each have MacBook Pros running Aperture. How do we share certain Aperture projects?

There is no way to share _and sync_.  Aperture is a single-user application.  You can copy Projects from one Library to another, but changes made to the Images in the Project copied to the second Library are never written back to the original Library.
Moving Projects between Libraries is easy.
Note that you can export a Library, work on the Images in it, and then import it back into the original Library and merge your changes.
All of this is covered better than I can here in the User Manual chapter "Working with Library Files"

    How can U share the pages application with another computer?

    Just make sure it is for you or your family.
    If you purchased Pages through the Mac App Store, then just login on the other computer using the same Apple I.D. and you can install it at no extra charge.

    How can I share books or audiobooks with another computer?

    You can't re-download audiobooks on any computer - they are currently a one-time only download. Music can be re-downloaded in some countries, they are listed on this page. But you should be able to copy your purchases from, for example, your backup and add them to the computer's iTunes via File > Add Folder To Library.

  • How do i share a photo album with another computer

    I have edited a photo album that I wish to share with another computer in my network.  How do I import the album?

    If you want to share them as an album the only way to do this is to use  iPhoto Library Manager
    Using this will also preserve versions and all metadata
    Alternatively you can simply export to a folder (File -> Export) and then import to the other Library. If you drag the folder to the Album heading it will create an Album for you. You can get almost all metadata (but not Faces) this way if you export to jpeg, but you won't get versions.

  • How Do I Share My Iphoto Library with another USer

    I have iPhoto5 on iMacG5. I share the computer with my wife and she has a seperate log in as a seperate user. My question is how to I share my iPhoto Library and albums with her on her user page?
    iMacG5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The article states "Make sure you have read and write permissions for the folder and then apply this setting to all enclosed items."
    That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm giving EVERYBODY full read and write permission by "Ignoring Ownership" on an entire drive. Incidentally, this can also be done on a partition.
    An example would be you would be able to edit a photo that you have downloaded i your user but not the other user.<<<</div>
    My wife and I have been doing that on a regular basis for several years and have never had an issue.
    Read the last paragraph.<<<</div>
    You misunderstood the wording. I'm NOT using the "Shared" folder. I've created something comparable to a really really big floppy!

  • How do I share an e-book with another iPad?

    When I buy an e-book on my IPad, how do I share it with my husban's iPad?

    You are correct. You would have to be logged into the same Apple ID on the iPad in order to share an ePub that is associated with another Apple ID.
    Switching Apple ID's on different devices while possible, can become problematic over time. The very last thing that you want to do is to sign into another Apple ID on your iPad in order to download previously purchased content from another Apple ID since that will lock you out of your own Apple ID for 90 days.

  • How do I share an aperture library with multiple users?

    I have Aperture on a macbook pro that is my wife's primary computer. I purchased an imac for our family and to get our pictures on a static desktop. I unintentionally migrated her as a user to the family imac. This is fine as my primary goal was to get the pictures over. However, I want her to have her own view and another for myself. However, I would like for us both the have the same view of Aperture/our pics. Is there a way to do this?
    Thank you.

    Like Frank said, Aperture is a single-user app. Multi-user setups are all workarounds that can have dire consequences. Best is if you think single user and plan your setup accordingly.
    You should have one primary Referenced-Masters Library containing references to all Masters. Avoid using a Managed-Masters Library for many reasons (but that is another topic). The Library should live on an internal drive and no attempt should be made to network it (because Aperture is a single-user app).
    • One option (recommended) is to maintain the primary Library on computer A and periodically make copies of the primary Library for read-only usage by computer B (like Frank said, read-only usage cannot be set so it needs to be workflow based). Computer B can also have its own fully separate read and write Library, the contents of which are periodically added to the primary computer A Library.
    • Another option (not recommended) is to have one Library and move it around depending upon which computer is using it.
    • Another option is to maintain the Library on computer A and export Projects or Albums as needed for use by computer B.
    Original images should be backed up prior to being imported into Aperture or any other images app. Note that use of a Referenced-Masters Library makes all the options above more feasible because the Library stays a manageable size, whereas with a Managed-Masters Library the Library invariably grows to an uncivilized size.
    Set Preview size to be the size of the largest display among the multiple computers.

  • How do I share my iTunes library with another user on the same computer?

    I trired to follow the instructions provided by I-Tunes which was to move the ITunes media library to the shared section, however, the computer will not allow me to do this.  When I drag the file to the shared section, it will only allow me to drop it into the Airport.  I tried hovering it over the "shared" title but it's not working.
    Is there another solution?

    Hello Kathy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to move your iTunes Library. 
    It sounds like you may be trying to move it to the "Shared" titled on the Finder Sidebar.  When you see "Shared" in the Finder Sidebar, this is just a title and not an actual folder. 
    I recommend moving your iTunes Library to either the "Public" folder in your user accoung to the "Shared" folder listed in the Users folder.  You can access the Shared folder by clicking Go at the top of the screen with Finder open, and selecting Computer>Macintosh HD>Users>Shared:
    Drag the iTunes Media folder to a public location. For example, you could move it to the Public folder in your Home folder (~/Public) or to a location outside your Home folder that other users can access (/Users/Shared).
    Important: Don't move the iTunes folder, the iTunes library file, or the iTunes library.xml file.

  • How can you share a iPhoto library with another account user

    I have recently seen the light and swapped from Windows to my lovely new iMac. However I am rather confused how I can configure my iPhoto library so my wife can view the same library in her account on the same machine (this was a simple thing within Windows, using shared folders). Am I missing something or do I have to duplicate the same library and place into my wife's account and then update each time we upload some photo's? Please help!

    This may not be the "neatest" solution possible, but it's one that works. Just as iPhoto makes it easy to share photos between computers on the same network, you can also share photos between accounts on the same computer; but you'll have to be logged in with iPhoto running.
    1) Configure iPhoto in your account for photo sharing (from iPhoto, select Preferences > Sharing> Share my photos).
    2) Enable fast user switching from System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options. This is the key to the process, which will allow you to remain logged in while your wife is also logged in. It's also a very handy feature if you and your wife use the computer a lot from your own accounts.
    3) Enable "Personal File Sharing" and "Remote Apple Events" from System Preferences > Sharing > Services. [I had already done this step, so I'm not sure if it's strictly necessary]
    4) With iPhoto up and running in your account, use Fast User Switching to log into your wife's account (ie, you remain logged-in). [The Fast User Switching menu will be in the upper right of the main menu bar.]
    5) From her iPhoto preferences, select Sharing > "Look for shared photos" if it's not already switched on.
    Your photos will magically appear in the left hand column of your wife's iPhoto application using the name you designated in your copy of iPhoto.
    Caveats: performance is not very good, you must be logged in and have iPhoto running, HP printers (if you have one) don't work well with fast user switching
    Other solutions might be possible by "drilling a hole" into your account by altering the Unix permissions. I've used this technique to make my iTunes library available to other users on my machine. Such a solution would no doubt improve performance.
    Finally, there are third-party products that allow you to manage multiple iPhoto libraries. I've never used these, but they might allow you to load the iPhoto library from another account assuming permissions are properly set.
    Hope this is of some use; I'm sorry if it's a little more complicated than you might have expected.

  • How can I share a specific mailbox with another party?

    I have a need to share a specific mailbox content with my lawyer.  is there an easy way to do this?  They will need to be able to have search capability and maintain the integrity of the threads rather than just a text file.

    You'll have to open another iCloud account - you can't share access to just part of the email account.
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - you will need a different non-Apple email address to do this.
    Sign in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars and enable 'Mail' in the checklist there. You should be asked to create a new @icloud.com address.
    This account will then appear alongside your present one in Mail. Your lawyer can access it in the usual way - if he doesn't have a Mac he can set the account up manually using the server settings here:
