How do I share my videos/apps between 2 users on one machine?

Ok, here is the setup:
One macbook with two accounts (mine and my wifes). She has her music, email calendar etc... on her account and I have mine in my account. We both have seperate itunes logins. She will be getting a new iphone tomorrow and would like to have some of the apps and video that I have on mine (bought on my itunes account). In her itunes she can only see stuff she has bought. Is there a way of sharing stuff to her iphone?

Any advice?

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 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.

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 can I share my itunes libraries between two users on different log ins on the same PC?

Ive recently bought my wife and iPhone 4, and we have a shared library. But she clearly downloads her own apps and music choices direct from the store to her phone, so wants to maintain her own log in etc. How can I share the library in my iTunes on my log in on the same PC to her iTunes on her log I'm on the same PC. its windows Xp machine with latest itunes version.
Ive followed the online instructions for sharing thus far, and the share library does not appear in either iTunes. ie It aint working!
Thanks in advance

When you say you have a shared library... you mean you have a networked external hard drive that you are sharing?
In iTunes, generally...when the term Shared Library is used, it's speaking to sharing a specific computer's library over the network with different computer.
I would think it would be better to do what ya'll have been doing (one log in acct/one computer) and have her create her own Apple acct and each of you log in and out whenever purchasing music apps etc. and then setup individual playlists and pick specific playlists to sync with each individual iPhone.
If you don't want each other to know what you're buying then...disregard what I just said

Sharing photos between multiple users on one Mac

I'm trying to figure out how to easily share photos imported in by one user to other users in my family on my mac. I'm assuming we don't have to import them multiple times. It seems cumbersome to this new mac user to share them. I find the issue with iTunes. Any help?

HI Darien,
Here are all the links I have for the different kinds of sharing:
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

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,

How do I share files on iCloud between different apps?

Hi,
how do I share files on iCloud between different apps?
I would like to edit simple plain text files on my Mac and my iPad using different apps. They don't see the content of each other. How do I fix this?
example:
when I create a .txt files:
Byword on Mac syncs nicely with Byword on iOS.
Ulysses 3 on Mac syncs nicely with Daedalus Touch.
BUT, cross-sync is not possible.... :/
How can I change this? - I would like to work with Byword on my Mac and Daedalus on the go.
Thanks in advance!

Cross-sync only works if an app on the iDevice allows it. For example, some apps (editors) sync with Dropbox (icloud usually isn't the thing to use) but only in their own folders.
If you save a file from the mac to it's own folder, A, on dropbox and on the device you use a different app that uses its own folder, B, then you won't be able to reach folder A on the device.
One thing to look for in editors that support Dropbox (most do, on a device - clearly all do on a mac) is whether they access dropbox using the root folder. From there you can drop down to any subfolder and reach the files you want.

How can I share a static field between 2 class loaders?

Hi,
I've been googling for 2 days and it now seems I'm not understanding something because nobody seems to have my problem. Please, somebody tell me if I'm crazy.
The system's architecture:
I've got a web application running in a SunOne server. The app uses Struts for the MVC part and Spring to deal with business services and DAOs.
Beside the web app, beyond the application context, but in the same physical server, there are some processes, kind of batch processes that update tables and that kind of stuff, that run once a day. Theese processes are plain Java classes, with a main method, that are executed from ".sh" scripts with the "java" command.
What do I need to do?
"Simple". I need one of those Java processes to use one of the web app's service. This service has some DAOs injected by Spring. And the service itself is a bean defined in the Spring configuration file.
The solution is made-up of 2 parts:
1. I created a class, in the web app, with a static method that returns any bean defined in the Spring configuration file, or in other words, any bean in the application context. In my case, this method returns the service I need.
public class SpringApplicationContext implements ApplicationContextAware {
     private static ApplicationContext appContext;
     public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext context) throws BeansException {
          appContext = context;
     public static Object getBean(String nombreBean) {
          return appContext.getBean(nombreBean);
}The ApplicationContext is injected to the class by Spring through the setApplicationContext method. This is set in the Spring configuration file.
Well, this works fine if I call the getBean method from any class in the web app. But that's not what I need. I need to get a bean from outside the web app. From the "Java batch process".
2. Why doesn't it work from outside the web app? Because when I call getBean from the process outside the web app, a different class loader is executed to load the SpringApplicationContext class. Thus, the static field appContext is null. Am I right?
So, the question I need you to please answer me, the question I didn't find in Google:
How can I share the static field between the 2 class loaders?
If I can't, how can I load the SpringApplicationContext class, from the "Java batch process", with the same class loader my web app was started?
Or, do I need to load the SpringApplicationContext class again? Can't I use, from the process, the class already loaded by my web app?
I' sorry about my so extensive post...
Thank you very much!

But maybe, if the web service stuff gets to complicated or it doesn't fulfill my needs, I'll set up a separate Spring context, that gets loaded everytime I run the "Java batch process". It'll have it's own Spring configuration files (these will be a fragment of the web app's config files), where I'll define only the beans I need to use, say the service and the 2 DAOs, and also the DB connection. Additionally, I'll set the classpath to use the beans classes of the web app. Thus, if the service and DAOs were modified in the app server, the process would load the modified classes in the following execution.You'll almost certainly have to do that even if you do use RMI, Web services etc. to connect.
What I suggest is that you split your web project into two source trees, the stuff that relates strictly to the web front end and the code which will be shared with the batch. The latter can then be treated as a library used by both the batch and web projects. That can include splitting Spring configuration files into common and specific, the common beans file can be retrieved from the classpath with an include. I regularly split web projects this way anyway, it helps impose decoupling between View/Controller and Model layers.
On the other hand, you might consider running these batch processes inside the web server on background threads.

How do I share a keychain list between two shared Lion computers

How do I share a keychain list between two Lion computers; my wife's MacBookPro and my MacPro. We have Airport.

See answer below. (Note: this is not a question about iTunes Home Sharing so it should have been asked in the Mac OS X Lion forums.)
For security reasons you can't share keychains like that since each user's keychain is encrypted and protected by the user's password. Sorry, there is no convenient way to share Keychains.
Now, that being said, the Keychain file is stored in the following directory, ~/Library/Keychains/, and called 'login.keychain. You could conceivably use file sharing, or some other method, to send your 'login.keychain' file to your wife's computer and she could conceivably use the 'Add Keychain…' command to add your keychain to her Keychain app but I think it gets messy doing that. Also, she would need to know your password to access that file but, between spouses, that may be a non-issue.

How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

If it's in a single iTunes library, it's already being shared. If it's in separate user accounts on the computer, move one library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, point it there, and import the music from the other library to it.

How do I share my videos/pictures on icloud with other users?

We have taken videos of Christmas using our iPad. We have uploaded them to iCloud. How can we share these videos with our family in other parts of the country?

Hi... and thanx for your help...
I did not think that I would have to mess with my firewall, as long as I am talking of useres on the same computer, but I guess I was wrong.
Your advice helps very much, but only as long as I am still logged in with my user name. I does not work when only my kids are logged in. There has to be a way to use these libraries without the need to log in the user that has created those folders...
Hmmm
Thanx for your help

HT204053 how do I share calendars and music between two ID's?

How do I share calendars and music between two Apple ID's? We have a Mac Pro and two Iphones. Currently we utilize one ID between the Iphones in order to sync the calendars and music.

You can privately share a calendar between devices using different iCloud IDs as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694. Even if your devices use different IDs for iCloud you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes to share your music and other purchased media. The ID you use on a device for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.

So it was your mail server limitations. Well, as I said, that's what these media sharing services are for.
It depends on the service, but generally up to about 1GB can be uploaded for free. You are given a unique and private url of the upload which you give to people who you want to allow to download it. They can then download the file you uploaded (again for free).
When you do the upload you are also given instructions on how to delete your upload if you wish. It's usually another url. Then you can delete it later if you wish or just leave up there as long as you want.
The only restrictions on using these services for free (other than the max file size) is that most will throttle down the download speed and limit how soon you could do two downloads back to back. Also they ask for a capcha. Basically they try to be as annoying as possible to make you pay them for their service.
By the way, IMO, rapidshare is one of the most annoying of them all.
I am not familiar with the one Matt Clifton is recommending. It's probably is as good as any to choose. As I said there are hundreds of them. All have a similar paradigm (free vs. paid). Google something like "sites like rapidshare" and you tons of them.
