How to set up 2 separate iPhoto libraries for two users

My wife and I have a macbook air, she being one user and me the other. We both have iphones and recently upgraded to the 5s. She had not ever openned itunes or iphoto on the computer as she used the it mainly for word processing, email and surfing the web. I, on the other hand, would play around in iphoto and ensure photo streaming was working and have a large itunes music collection.
When I openned up her iphoto, all my photos from my account downloaded into hers. I forget what I did to make this happen but it might have done so automatically.
My question is: how can I set up her own iphoto account when she is logged into her user account on the computer? We don't wish to share iphoto libraries as now is the case.
And, this might not be the correct forum to bring this up, but when I take pictures on my iphone 5s, they stream to her iphoto library as well as mine. But, her pictures taken on her iphone don't stream/backup to either of our computer iphoto libraries even though she has an icloud account and photo streaming turned on on her phone. 
I hope this makes sense as there are really 2 questions: setting up a separate iphoto library for each user on one computer, and, how to get photo streaming from her phone to her library
Thanks in advance for any help

First you both have to have your own user accounts on the MBA and separate iCloud accounts.  From there it's relatively simple to create you own libraries and have your respective iPhones link to those library when both devices are logged into the same iCloud account.

    I entered Iphoto for my user and only photo up until 2012 were in the library.  I thought the restore would do the incremental Time Machine backups too.....

  • How to set a customized search results template for all users

    Hi.
    I know the customized search results views are stored in a file called pne_portal.hda that resides on every user's subfolder in data/users/profiles/...
    Is there a way to set a customized search results template for all users? If it's impossible, is there a way to modify the Headline view? I'm not able to find the resource or template where this view is.
    Thanks in advance.

    I wasn't able to understand what was meant by this post. Therefore, I modified the standard template HeadLine View.
    Columns for this template are defined in the include slim_search_result_table_header_setup (in std_page.htm).
    Here is the modification of the code:
    <$if customTemplateId and not (baseTemplateId like customTemplateId)$>
              <$columnsString = utGetValue("customlisttemplates/" & strLower(customTemplateId), "columns")$>          
              <!-- Modify START by Oracle-->
         <$else$>
    <!-- here add default fields -->
              <$columnsString="dDocName,dDocTitle,dInDate,dDocAuthor"$>
    <!-- here add your custom fields -->
              <$columnsString=columnsString&",xComment"$>
              <!-- Modify END by Oracle-->

  • How to set environment variables in mac mavericks for all users

    Can someone here tell me the file to set JAVA_HOME environment variable for all users?
    Thanks!

    nara999999,
    the file in which to set the environment variable depends upon the login shell of each user. Presuming that every user has bash as his login shell, and that the environment variable will be needed only in interactive shells, then the file to edit will be /etc/bashrc; if the environment variable will also be needed in non-interactive shells, then  /etc/profile should be edited instead (and this will also cover users with either sh or zsh as their login shell). If ksh is used as a login shell, then /etc/ksh.kshrc will need to be edited. If csh or tcsh is used as a login shell, then /etc/csh.login will need to be edited.

  • Sharing two iphoto libraries between two users on the same computer?

    My wife and myself use the same MacBook with two different user accounts. We both checked the check box "Look for shared photos" in the iPhoto preferences, but my wife's library doesn't appear in my iPhoto and vice versa. How can we manage to do this?

    Toni
    For tis to work, you have to also check 'Share this Library' and log in to both accounts and have iPhoto running in both accounts, and switch between accounts using Fast User Switching.

  • How to set an 'alert'  or reminder message for end-user Acrobat X form.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to see if I can add an alert or reminder message for the end user who will be filling in a form that I'm creating from Acrobat Pro X.
    Does it require a script if so, could anyone share one that is already exists?
    If it doesn't need a script, how can I set that up?
    What I want to do, is to remind end-user to fill in Numbers Only and not text.  I have already set my properties for numbers only and provided an example. But, In-case end users did not understand, I'd like to have a message for them to say that they must type in number and not text.
    Currently, with the limitation I've made, they couldn't type in any letters but, they might be frustrated and not fill in anything!
    Please help!
    Thanks,

    Thank you for the code.
    Is it correct to put that code under VALIDATE > run custome validate script, within the Properties box?
    Because I tried it, and it worked only AFTER I typed a number onto the field.
    Since my goal is to have the alert BEFORE, so if someone typed in a text, they should see the alert and correct themselves to type in a number instead.
    Please clarify.
    Thanks!

  • How to set a shared calendar 'read only' for SOME users in ML server

    I am setting up Mountain Lion Server and wish to set up a series of calendars to be used by a studio of approx 20 people - two calendars will show the kind of thing I'm trying to achieve.
    Calendar A shows appointments and meetings - it can be viewd and edited by all
    Calendar B shows who is taking leave and when - it can be viewed by all, but edited by only a small group of people
    What is the best way to set this up? On The earlier version of the server we had set up calendars on the server and delegated - this is not possible on Mountain Lion Server.

    I don't think you can do this strictly by personalization since you need to use SPEL, unless the attribute you will be using for the display to control readonly is already present in the VO. Basically you need to check a value, say Supplier, and have another attribute say readOnly, tthat is set to TRUE if the supplier equals your desired supplier and FALSE for all other suppliers.

  • Setting up iTunes on new computer for two users

    I just got a new Windows 7 laptop and I'm trying to figure out how to transfer two distinct user libraries to the new computer.
    A little background: My wife and I have been using the same computer for years with different user accounts - she had her 30 GB iPod with all her music, and I had my 80 GB iPod with all my music and playlists. All of our music, however, has been saved and configured to work with an external hard drive (E:\iTunes).
    I'm keeping the external hard drive with the new computer, and since all the file paths are configured to match up with E:\iTunes, it seems like it should be really easy to make the switch to the new computer. But so far it isn't.
    I installed iTunes 9 on my new computer and set the default file path to the E: drive, enabled my iPod for disk use, and tried synching my iPod, but the only songs that transferred were those that I had purchased via the iTunes store -- which wasn't very many.
    What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do so that when I plug in my iPod the iTunes on my new computer replicates my old library, playlists and all? I don't want to manually copy over the entire E:\iTunes folder because there are a lot of tunes on there that I don't want or need -- files that I will eventually have to upload for my wife's account and her iPod.
    Any help the users on this forum can offer would be appreciated. Thanks!

    It depends on whether the entire iTunes folder, including all the library files, are on the external drive, or that drive contains only the music.
    First, resetting the location of the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes preferences, by itself, only sets where future purchases and imports go. In and of itself it won't reset where iTunes looks for tracks already in the iTunes library. That's all contained in your former library files. If those were on the old computer and no longer available, use the Add Folder to Library command in iTunes and select the folder on the external drive that contains the tracks. That will get them into iTunes, though you'll have lost all your playlists, ratings, and playcounts (which are also in the iTunes library files).
    If the iTunes library files are also on the external drive, launch iTunes while holding down the Shift key and navigate to and select the folder containing the library file.
    If the library files were on the old computer but you still have access to it, you may be able to copy the library file to the same place on your new computer, presuming the path to the external drive remains the same.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have two separate iTunes libraries on two separate Computers. I need to consolidate them so I can play them on a brand new computer. How do I do this so I can play them off an External Hard Drive on my brand new computer?

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

    Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

  • How do i deal with multiple iPhoto libraries when migrating to Photos

    how do i deal with multiple iPhoto libraries when migrating to Photos

    I would merge them before the migration.  Also, spend some time doing any batch changes of names and dates beforehand too.
    iPhoto Library Manager has good merge and duplicate search facilities.

  • How do I share my itunes and iphoto libraries with other users (accounts) ?

    Hi !
    I am trying to share my itunes and iphoto libraries with other users on my powerbook, but I seem to have problems with it.
    What is the best way to do it?
    Place an alias in my "shared" folder and access this with the applications from the different accounts ? This seems to workt for the itunes library, at least... Or do I have to mess with the righs managent ?

    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
