How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

How do i share a file so another user of my mac pro can access

Hi
I have a file on my mac pro that I want others to use for presentations without them seeing all my private info. I have set up a new user but how do I share the file the other user on my mac pro can see it?

Place the files you want to transfer on the Desktop
Click on the Finder or desktop to swtich to Finder, then Go > Computer, then double click on the boot drive, then on the Users folder.
Open the target User folder and inside is a Public folder > Drop Box, just drag and drop in there and the permissions change so that user can use the file.

HT3819 How do I share downloaded tracks between different users on same mac?

Hello. I bought my new Mac a couple of months ago. I set it up with three different users, one for myself as admin, one for my wife, and one for our daughter, all on the same Mac. My wife and I both have our own Itunes account. I spent a couple of days downloading almost all of our CDs into my Itunes library. Now, I want to know how my wife and daughter can access these songs in their libraries so that they can put tracks on their Ipods. So far, the only option that I have been able to see is the downloading of the CDs all over again into my wife's library. Wouldn't this just make duplicate tracks on the Hard Drive? If anyone can help, or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

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

How to share projects/events across multiple users

what's the best way to share projects and events for multiple users on the same computer?
i want to be able to open fcpx in one user account and have access to all events and projects that i have access to as another user. basically, fcpx should look exactly the same in both accounts.

Welcome User in OTN,
to make two projects can access its classes you should goto the project property ---> Dependencies then add the other project.
in your case:
try to goto you Model project property ----> Dependencies ---> Edit Dependencies .
you will find your ViewController project. Expand it thin check to Build Output.
you can make this for ViewContoller project also as:
goto you ViewContoller project property ----> Dependencies ---> Edit Dependencies .
you will find your Model project. Expand it thin check to Build Output.

BT Cloud - how do you share all files?

I would like to share photos with family and freinds. How do I select all files to enable me to do this?
I don't want to select each one individually as there are over 500 pictures!
Thanks

Hi,
I have the same question, is it really possible that the select all function is not available? Could someone please confirm one way or the other.
Cheers,
Pete.

How to use/sync single data (file) across multiple instances of same application

Currently we have an application (a diagram editor), that have the ability to save and load (serialize) its state in a xml file.
Now we want this application to behave like Microsoft OneNote application. Where multiple users have the ability to access the same file.
Later we may also need to enhance with other things like, (1)what is changed and who changed it, (2)option to resolve conflicts if any.
I came to know about sync framework to resolve this. so far, i have not tried it.
All i want is,
Virtually single file should be edited by multiple instances of same application.
We need a dll (sync framework) that does following
It takes complete responsibility of file handling.
Using this dll, each instance of the application will notify their own changes.
Each instance of the application should have the ability to detect the changes that is recently made (when, who, what are the changes).
My question:
Will sync framework be suitable for this requirement?
If so, is there a demo application that represents this?
- Jegan

Seems like I have found the solution.
In the taskflow there is a property named data-control-scope and I set it to isolated instead of the default (shared) and this seemed to do the trick.
I can now have two instances of the same taskflow running with different ApplicationModules
Cheers,
Mark

How to share Itunes library with multiple users on same laptop

I have a macbook pro and am the administrator. I have a profile for my daughter as well. How can I share my itunes library with her without manually loading all the songs on her profile which would take up more memory. Can someone please send me a step by step guide as I am struggling with this. Thanks. Jasu UK.

Move the iTunes library to a location accessible by all accounts on the computer, such as /Users/Shared/ on a Mac, which can be done from the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences. Next, open her copy of iTunes, turn off the option to automatically copy songs to the iTunes Music folder from the same section of the preferences, and drag the folder into the open iTunes window.

How do you limit TOC navigation for multiple users on one computer?

If you have 5 Adobe Captivate 5.5. Projects linked together to play consecutively how can you set up a TOC so that each new user starts from the beginning and can only go back to slides that the new user has viewed? We have the TOC set to Enable Navigation, Navigate Visited Slides Only, and View Status Flag. This is a required training video that will be taken by many users. We need them to be able to go back to the sections that they already viewed but not be able to see the sections that others have already watched. In other words, we don't want them to be able to advance ahead to the sections that the previous test takers have viewed.
Message was edited by: DOLOnlineTrainers
Problems:
•     Remove the TOC and they have no navigation abilities to see something they may have missed
•     Keep it in and the viewer can advance to parts they have not viewed as the previous user set the ability
•     Put a back button in and they can only go back one at a time and have no ability to get back to where they were if they keep hitting back other than watch over
•     Tried the clear button in TOC under status flag which clears the status flags yet it only works on one section at a time and does not clear all linked projects
•     Is there something we are missing? Tried reading blogs and really can’t pinpoint problem

To get each user to have a different experience when viewing the content, you need to have some way for each user to be uniquely identified, otherwise the browser has no way of knowing that THIS is not the same person that was looking at the content an hour ago. The way this is normally achieved is by getting users to log in as a different profile.
There's no EASY way I can think of to achieve what you want WITHOUT users having different profiles. You would need to get some custom HTML programming done by someone that basically mimicked separate browser sessions under the same login. It's theoretically possible, but I've never been required to do anything like this.

How do you access folders/files in other users Finder list?

How do you access folders in other users finder list, once you have shared the folder or file

You should be able to open and view the contents of any directories you have access permissions to using FInder, by navigating the directory tree to the folders in question and opening them as you would your own folders. If you know the full path-name of the directory, you can enter it into the Finder navigator opened by Apple-Shift-G; the dialog that pops up uses the same directory listing method as all unix systems, and has tab completion for ease of use. In general, all users have their home directories in /Users/, or you can simply use ~/../<name> to go to the home folder of a user via the parent (..) directory of your home (~) directory. If you are experiencing bugs or errors with this, as opposed to simply not knowing how to do this, please post any details of your experience so that others can help troubleshoot your problems.

HT4889 How can I use all files from every user on my mac?

Is there a way I can share all of the files on my computer to where every user on one computer can access files from one user to another? All help is appreicated!

That is so contrary to the way of OS X that I seriously doubt it.
I would suggest that you just create a single user account and let everyone log into that single account.

How do you transfer songs to second iTunes user account; same computer

How do I transfer songs from one user account to another user account on the same computer?
I've given my son his own account on our second computer. Prior to this, he shared his sister's iTunes account, using a playlist to populate his ipod. Now that he has his own account, he wants to transfer his music to his own account. Is it possible to do this quickly? I've been able to copy some actual song files from the first iTunes library and physically move them to the new account using a flash drive, but this is cumbersome. Any better options? Thanks.

Sounds like a good plan. What folder/files do I move...the entire 'iTunes Media' folder? ...and how do I point to it...through the advanced preferenced feature?
It would be the folder you have selected as your Library folder. Usually Mac HD/Users/[User]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
See below:
Select Mac HD/Users/Shared/Music - CREATE IT if need be
Move your iTunes folder to the new Music folder. You'll probably have to "re import" the Library in iTunes. (Clear the old library first)
But ionce it;s in the Shared Music folder, EVERY account on the comp can access those files for their own library (whichever songs THEY want) and you onle need ONE copy of everything.
Each user can only access or modify THEIR OWN library while logged on so it prevents someone erasing another's library, because the iTunes Library file is in a locked folder when others are logged in.

How do I share my iPhotos w/other Users on SAME computer?

I give up! I've looked at Help and everywhere. Tried (Share/)Exporting to other users but it doesn't seem to work. What am I not doing? Help!
THANKS.

Hi sherman,
Here are all the links I have for sharing your iPhoto Library.
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.
if you need more help with one of the methods, post back and tell me exactly what you tried (all the steps) and what happens or doesn't happen when you try to share your library.
