How do I use one downloads folder for multiple users?

I recently added my girlfriend a profile in my Imac. We both have seperate Profiles and logins however I would like to find out, if the the Downloads folder can be used by both profiles. I found that each profile has their own Downloads folder, and goes to their own locations.
I would like to find out, if its possible to re-direct my downloaded files as well as her downloaded files into just ONE "Downloads" folder. The default destination of the downloads folder would be /users/girlfriend(name of girlfriend). I want to change it to /users/(me) so that all downloads would just go to one folder.
Thanks in advance!

HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

How do I use one iTunes library for several user accounts?

This is definitely a question!
I have several user accounts for my osx. One I use at home, one at work etc.
What I never have been able ta manage is a way to use the same iTunes library (the same music files) for the different accounts.
When a new user profile is created, everything in it is set to scratch.
I have tried all kinds of tricks:
- Direct iTunes to look for It's library on the other users folder (wich doesn't really work, cus even if you are Admin you don't have access to other users folders through another user).
- Creat an alias for the other library-folder and refere to it.
etc. etc. You name it...
Anyone?

One skype number for multiple users in Skype Manag...

Is it possible to get one Skype-in phone number and assign it to multiple members in Skype Manager?
If so, how do I go about it?
I also asked this here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Skype-Number/One-skype-number-for-multiple-users-in-Skype-Manager/m-p/...

You could always allocate a number to multiple business accounts in Skype Manager. Then re-direct the number via IP-PBX to go to different extensions.
Try the following here [If you look in the advanced section of this manual, you'll see an example of two accounts using one number]

You can use both business Skype accounts and Online Numbers simultaneously on a

How do I use the same profile for two users on the same computer

I use my laptop both at home and at work. And in each venue I use a different user log on. But I wish to have firefox use the same profile for each user log on. How can I get firefox to point to the same profile for each user?

Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox.

One iTunes media folder for multiple users

Hi there,
I'm having trouble getting iTunes 9.0.3 to let me share one media folder across two users. I want to be able to share and update the contents of the media folder from either user account. I had this going before I updated thanks to another discussions post and a little program called BatCHmod, but now it doesn't seem to be working. Not only that, iTunes can't find some of my apps. Help?
It would also be great to be able to do the same with iPhoto.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions !
There's no easy answer for this one. Even the best options still require ongoing maintenance to keep things aligned.
The Consolidate command, unlike your expectations, only examines the current files known to iTunes and copies/reorganizes them into the "Music Location" setting. It does reattach files that were already moved to another location.
Generally speaking, the best option is to work from the computer with the largest/most complete set of music, consolidate it to the new drive, and then use a manual method or recreate the library on other computers using the network location. The "manual" method involves manually editing the "iTunes Music Library.XML" file on the computer to replace the old file location string with the new network location. As long as iTunes was maintaining files in its preferred location (drive:\...\iTunes Music\artist\album\song) this method can magically make the other iTunes' look to the new location for the file.
As for the "missing file" entries, here's a slightly automated cleanup routine.
* select all the files in the iTunes library list
* Get Info
* set BPM to 99 (presumes you don't rely on the BPM field for real data), missing files won't be updated (of course)
* after that completes add BPM to the Library view (ctrl-j or "view options") and sort the library by BPM
* all the missing files are now grouped together so you can easily delete their entries.
As for after all computers are using the network drive...
When a user adds music to their library, other users will not see that new entry. You have to manually drag those new files into the iTunes library on the other computers.

How do I use the rating system for multiple raters?

My wife, her sister, and I are all rating some photos I took a couple of days ago. Each of us, of course, has different favorites.
I would like to record our different ratings in the LR3 rating system but can't see an immediately obvious way to do so. I thought of using the color labels--different color for each of us. But each photo will only take one color label. I could use the star ratings, one star for only one selection, two for two, etc. But that would not record who chose which. I need to know that.
Has anyone had the same problem? If so, is there some rather obvious solution? I would think that it's not all that unusual for several folk to participate in a shoot, using one camera; and then to need some way to record their differing judgments on the photos in LR3.
Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance,
John Kendrick

The rating system in LR3 is not really designed with that type of functionality in mind. The "target Lightroom user" is an individual that uses LR to create a catalog of photographs which can be graded with a star rating based upon their opinion of the photograph. The concept of seperate star ratings for multiple users doesn't really fit into that concept. LR3, in general, is designed with a single photographer in mind... one that essentially uses the program by his/herself... so it has a bare minimum of 'group' functionality.
It may be possible to find a plug-in that will enable star ratings by multiple users, but I've never heard of one before.
If you really, really need this type of functionality (i.e. saving star ratings by multiple people), the only way to do it that I could think of would be to create multiple collections of the same shoot, each of which is filled with virtual copies of the original photos. Each collection could hypothetically be called '08-03-2010 Bill Ratings'...'08-03-2010 Jill Ratings'... etc... etc. Admittedly, such a workaround may very well be more trouble than its worth... that's just the only way I can think of that you might come close to achieving the functionality you're after.

Deleteing folder for multiple users

Good morning all -
As most people would admit, I am terrible at scripting in any form. In short, I need assistance with a dummy proof script to delete the contents of a folder for multiple (150+) users, without having to touch each users profile. I would
prefer to be able to execute the script when needed. This won't be listed as a scheduled task or setup as a netlogon. The path is as follows:
C:\Users\michael.jannise.ctr\NS5\tmp
It can either be set to delete the tmp folder entirely, or just the contents of the folder. Which ever is easier.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance provided!
Regards,
Michael

I was going to warn you but this is more fun.
Understanding Windows and the Windows file system is always a big problem for non-technicians.
Learning this technology requires some time for testing things until you understand how they work. You really cannot learn this by asking people on the Internet to give you answers.
The command, as posted. removes only the "tmp" folder contents. How to make that clear is not clear. It needs to be tried. THe safe way yo do thisis to make a parallel structure and test that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, I can play the game! :) I know I should spend the time working with this type of technology but, I would not execute it day to day and would most likely still make mistakes.
I am extremely grateful for people like yourselves who are willing to share the knowledge!
