How do I share my photographs between User Accounts

I want to share my iphoto photographs between users on the iMAC. Is this as suimple as moving the iphoto folder to the public folder?
iMAC Mac OS X (10.4.9)

No it's not that simple. iPhoto is a single user app, not designed for multiple users working simultaneously.
What do you mean by sharing? If you want the others to have the ability to VIEW photos, there's a way. In the main account got to iPhoto -> Preferences -> Sharing and enable Share this Library. Leave iPhoto running and go to the other account using Fast User Switching. In that account, enable 'Look for Shared Libraries' in the iPhoto Preferences, an the main library will turn up in the left hand pane of iPhoto. Remember iPhoto must be running in the main account for this to work.
If you want the others to be able to add, edit, keyword etc., then that's a different way. In this case, move the iPhoto Library Folder to the Users/Shared folder. This way both accounts can see it. Then you'll need to configure the permissions to allow everyone read/write access. (you can do this using BatchMod from http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/)
Then hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto, Choose 'Locate' and navigate to the new location for the library. Repeat for both accounts. This will give read/write access tot he library for both accounts.
However, as I said above, iPhoto is not designed for multiple users accessing the db simultaneously. Doing this increases the likelihood of db corruption greatly, so backing up is the order of the day.
Personally, especially if you're still finding your way on the Mac, I recommend the first way. It's safer. When your confidence is up, you can easily move on to the second way.

I have one imac. my wife and i each have our own user accounts and itunes library. How do we share selected music between user accounts?

i have one imac. my wife and i each have our own user accounts and itunes library. How do we share selected music between user accounts?

To give other users read-only access to your 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.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

How can I share files/libraries between users?

I have tried to enable file sharing between me and my hubby. I would like to share iTunes and iPhoto libraries but cannot. I don't want to have the same photos & CDs replicated just so we can have two different logins.
How can I do this?

Hi, Loker. Welcome to the Discussions.
Mac OS X and other UNIX®-based systems, in general, are not set up to easily share data between users. A fundamental idea behind UNIX security is each user's data is theirs and theirs alone, and a user must take steps to share data on their accounts with other users, either on that computer or over a network. This is why, in Mac OS X, the Users > Shared folder exists: all users have Read & Write access to such, providing a "commons" for easily sharing documents between users on the same Mac. The Public folders in each account are extant for a similar reason.
Simply changing the access privileges on the folders of a given user may provide access to the files within those folders, but does not change the access privileges on the individual files within such: you may be able to see the files, but not use them. This depends on the application. Additionally, applications often expect to find their specific content in a specific location, usually one owned by the user who created the content.
ITunes and iPhoto have generally been designed as single-user applications. Despite Mac OS X being a multi-user operating system, Apple did not initially consider the idea of a "family" computer where a family would all share and update common music or photo libraries.
Some of these issues have been addressed, albeit IMO somewhat inadequately, by adding content-sharing functions to recent versions of iTunes and iPhoto. This was primarily for sharing content over a local network, but these methods also work between users on the same Mac. You can find relevant information by searching the Help for iTunes and iPhoto. In iTunes, select Help > iTunes Help. In iPhoto, select Help > iPhoto Help.
The downside of these approaches are the requirements they place on the account sharing its music or photos. Specifically, that account must be:
1. Logged in, and...
2. The specific application -- iTunes, iPhoto -- must be running to share its content.
These functions also place limitations on what you can do with shared content, delineated in the "About" documents you will find in the Help related to sharing.
More sophisticated methods for sharing iTunes music, iPhoto photos, iMovie projects, and other application-specific files between users on the same Mac are generallly found in magazine articles or by searching the Web. A good site to search is Mac OS X Hints. You can also search or post on the iTunes Discussion, iPhoto Discussion, etc. for additional ideas.
Two useful magazine articles in praticular:
• The June 2006 issue of MacWorld also had some suggestions on iPhoto sharing that could also be applied to iTunes. That article is currently online: see "One iPhoto, many users."
• The article "Share Files and Apps with Multiple Users" by Fong and Willams in the August 2004 issue of MacAddict discussed techniques that generally involve the use of the Shared folder and UNIX symbolic links. You can order back issues of MacAddict by contacting their customer service office.
Good luck!

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

Share iTunes files between user accounts

I am trying to share the iTunes music library between Admin. and user account on my Macbook Pro Mountain Lion OS. The user account can not find the iTunes folder, even after the Admin. gave user account access to the iTunes music folder.
Please help.

Sorry, I think that this official Apple Post ought to do it.

How do I share aperture among different user accounts?

I do not want to share fotos between the two accounts, just the application. When I set up the two user accounts I appear to be automatically given two different itunes, iphoto, etc. That is what i would like to do with aperture, although currently it is sitting in the use account that was open when I downloaded it and cannot be accessed from the other user account.

Move the Word (or Office) folder from your user/Applications folder to the Macintosh HD/Applications folder. There it can be accessed by all users.
iTunes Music is slightly different as that's user-oriented, but you should be able to allow other accounts to use it by opening iTunes and selecting iTunes/Preferences in the menu bar. Select the Sharing option and choose what to share;
If the other account holder then checks the 'look for shared libraries' option, she should be able to access whatever music you choose to share.

How do I share photo streams between iCloud accounts?

We have two iPhones and iPads with separate icloud accounts.
We want to share one Photo Stream but not the other.
We share a Mac but don't activate Photo Stream on iPhoto.
How do we share the (one) Photo Stream via the iPhone/iPad?
Thank you.

That's what Photostream is used for.
Thanks for the responses.
What do you mean by this comment?
It's the current photos that I'm after - I thought thats what Photo Stream did.
Therefore I presume that means that only Albums or inidvidual photos can be shared?
Many thanks

How can we share e-books between 2 accounts?

My husband and I both have Kobo accounts, Adobe DE accounts and 2 separate e-book readers (both Aluretek Libre's).
How can we share books?
cm

One of you will have to buy the book first (and put on reader, I assume). According to what Kobo Customer Care told me, with Adobe Digital Editions open that person then goes on the site the book was bought from, signs in, goes on purchase history and clicks on the book. Hit Download epub or pdf, choose Open for Windows or Save for Mac, Adobe will show the book. make sure you are in library view, plug the reader in and authorize the device. Drag and drop the book into the reader icon that shows up under the Bookshelf items. It should copy the file. When done, eject using the safely remove mass storage device option. After unplugging, it will process the new content. I haven't done it yet, I just received the instructions.

How do I share music in 2nd user account?

I have had so much trouble with itunes 7.3 that I went back to 7.2. But I still can't burn, it just keeps looking like it's burning but never does and never finishes. . So, I want to try burning in a 2nd user account I created. I know I need to move a folder ? a itunes folder to the shared folder. I just need more info on all what's involved. I thought I read it somewhere at this website, but where? A frustated mac user. mmmmm.... Your help appriceiated.

I option dragged the 47 GB itunes folder to the shared folder. I then loged into the 2nd account , opened itunes, opened preferences, set the library to shared folde, itunes. Now what. No music is showing. Is there something else I need to do? This is not the first time I opened itunes in this 2nd account. I did so prior to this switch.
I am so, so frustrated with this iTunes 7.3 screwing up my burning, artwork and who knows what else. 2 + months of ****.
One thing I should mention, I have tried to burn in safe mode, still no luck. mmmm.
My next question is going to be , if I back up the music folder with the songs only, then trash every darn thing I can find thats iTunes, Then reinstall 7.2, then drag the backed up iTunes music song folder into iTunes, thus reimporting them, will it work? Will it have the song names and other info?
Or would I be seeing song # 1 thru 1,600 without names?
Thanks.

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?

How can I share cache files between users in a sandboxed Mac app?

Our app downloads media files and stores them for use later. The size can be up to a few GB so it's considerable. Because this can be so large I want the cache to be shared across different users. My understanding of sandboxing is that you cannot write outside of the ~/Library/Containers/<your app id>... directory, thus there will be one copy per user.
I get an access denied error when trying these folders (not surprising but I tried it anyway):
/Users/Shared/...
/Library/Application Support/...
Does anybody know of a way I can have a sandboxed application with some kind of user agnostic cache storage?

It's not worth the trouble. There are very few multi-user Macs out there. The only way to accomplish this in the sandbox would be a shared cache location that a sure would setup in preferences and store with a security-scoped bookmark. Each user would have to set the same option to use the shared cache location.

How do I share iTunes music between different accounts on one Mac?

Good morning !
There are various users sharing our Mini. Can I set the Mini up so that we all can share the same music library ?

It works for "initial sharing" but the described solution includes some drawbacks;
- songs added under one account don't show "automatically" for other users
- if added there is a copy of the song-file (* 2.mp3)
- no "bulk" import withoud re-adding already present songs
Any workarounds for these problems known? 'caus I'm getting tired to keep the 3 iTune Libs of my girls in synch

Sharing between User Accounts

I'm new to Macs and need some help.
I have 2 user accounts on my mac and want to share picture and music files between the accounts. Both can be read & write. All my music is in the iTunes music folder. Even when I share that folder I can't get to the files on the other account. Each artist has their own folder within the iTunes music folder and they all have the minus symbol beside them when viewing from the 2nd account. How do I share these files between user accounts?
Also, where do I save my pictures so that they can be seen on both accounts?
I started to share all the folders with in iTunes but that was taking forever so I quit the process and now my public folders are not showing as shared in the preferences. How do I get my sharing preferences back to the default settings?

I now have my mac set up just the way i want. thanks for the input you all gave! How I did it:
in the file sharing system prefs i deleted the "ghost" folders that were showing. I call them ghost folders because they were grayed out and not clickable. They were pointing to a folder that I had removed from my system because I deleted my user account so that i could start over from scratch to set things up right from the beginning. This still left these folders in the sharing menu so I just had to delete them one at a time until they were all gone making everything look clean again.
I learned that sharing files between user accounts on the same computer (and even the guest account) can only be done with files that are in the public folder. Adding my iTunes Music folder to the sharing list did not share my mp3 across users on the same computer. I just had to move the iTunes Music folder (not the iTunes folder) to the public folder so the other account could access it. Then I followed the directions in the link provided in this thread about sharing in iTunes. Now I don't have to have my wife's Maria Carry in my library! And she does not have to have my songs in her library!
For photos I placed the files in the public folder and just imported them into the iPhoto library for each account.
On a side note, having our own accounts allows us to set up the computer they way we want, but allows us to have access to the same files. I'll be adding a 500gb hard drive to it soon for time machine and can't wait to have that set up. My only question now is when can i add time capsule? Can I add it as a 2nd wireless network in addition to my linksys wrt54g2 that is connected to the cable modem (i need the linksys connected to the internet for xbox live and ps3's network), i know i would then connect the external HDD to it for more storage, therefore I guess I would move all mp3's and picture files onto it freeing space on the computer and just direct both user accounts to the files on the HDD connected to time capsule.

How can I share my iTunes library between user accounts in iTunes 11

Since upgrading my iTunes library to Version 11 I can no longer share the library between user accounts on the same Mac.
The 2nd user is asked to create oir use an iTunes library, but when it is pointed to the Media folder it cannot share it.
Previously in iTunes 10 it all worked fine.
How can this be done please?
The library is in a shared areas that we both have Read/Write permissions to.

that works for anything he purchases after he creates the new account. What about his current music that currently resides in my itunes library? How can I get his current music out of my library into his new account/library?? Thanks..
Copy it to his computer into his iTunes library and authorize his computer with the iTunes account used to purchase them..
You cannot tranfser items from one iTunes account to another. Purchased items remain part of the iTunes account is was purchased with.
iTunes account - used to purchase items
iTunes library - where purchases (and CD RIPs) go on the computer
