How to share ibooks between different accounts?

I have a friend that has an interesting book. he wants to share it with me so that I can read it. I don't know how to share books between accounts and I don't know if it is possible.

I have a friend with the ipad and she would never give me it. Is it possible to tranfer the book from the ipad to my mac without deleting her other data? because when you connect a new device it asks you to delete all files.

It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

How to share music between different accounts on a single computer. Using this, I can out one account into a shared public folder, but when I want to put a second one there, it says it already exists and do I want to replace it?

I followed the instructions, but when I got to move a second folder to the new shared folder, it told me it already existed and did I want to repalce it? Not prepared to do this, and lose my wife's itunes songs. I am still in trouble from losing her play lists when I went to IOS 5!

Hi, remember to set the ownership & permissions for files/folders if you want to be able to amend files or change them from both accounts. If a file is created in one account. it may only be viewed in the other account. but if you change the ownership & permissions from "read only" to "read and write" then files can be amended from both accounts. To get the info, simply click once on the folder or file then command-i to get the file/folders info. you can change things there. Permissions can only be change from the account the file/folder was created in.

How to share memory between different VMs?

Hi, dear all!
I don't know if it is possible to share memory between different VMs. I know its easy for threads. Now my problem is that I want to start serveral applications which share only one copy of data, I don't know what's the right way to do that.
Thanx

They are some volume data for visualization. I want to
serveral rendering servers on a single machine, the
data size can be up to 1024*1024*1024 ( or even larger
I don't know if I HAVE TO use threads in order to
share the data, however, threads are not preemptive as
processes I think, is that true?
Not really sure what that has to do with it.
I believe the VMs for most common OSes use preemptive thread scheduling. I know windows does and I am rather certain that solaris/linux also do that.
A number of suggestions were made above for your problem. Memory mapped files allow multiple VMs if memory mapped files work for your VM/OS. Or you can use a single VM.
Given that your dataset is 1 gig or larger you might want to keep in mind the limitations of modern OSes. Windows for example will not normally allow any application to have a process space larger than 2 gigs. And on all OSes the VM heap limitations for 32-bit VMs are below 2 gigs by several hundred mega-bytes.

How to share HttpSession between different web application ?

I have two web application ( ie two different war files), I discovered that the jsp in the two war files are not able to share the HttpSession, may I know how to you share the HttpSession between two different web application ?

From the api doc:
"Session information is scoped only to the current web application (ServletContext), so information stored in one context will not be directly visible in another."
You can not share a Session object between web apps. You can create your own sessions using a database, textfile or hashmap. Do a search on the O'Rielly web site for psuedo-sessions.

How to share files between two accounts on the same Macbook Pro???

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Macbook Pro and have created two accounts, one for me and one for my wife.
I have all the itunes music on my account and my wife wants to load some of the songs nto her Itunes on her account but I don't want to start copying files into the "shared folder" in the "users folder" which will obviously take up more room on my hard drive.
I have noticed that I can see my folders when she is logged in but the ones that she needs to access (like the music folder) have a red dot on them and when you double click on them it brings up the message "the folder "music" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient privileges".
Can anyone help me with these problems?
Please help me!!!

How to share files between user accounts

I have used the shared folder but I must duplicate the file every time - how can I get it to use 1 file on both users and saving it to the shared folder?

When you say "Shared folder", do you mean /Users/Shared, or the public folder of your user, or some folder you are file sharing?
If the file is read-only (for the other user), then that's why you're getting the Duplication request.
I would put the files in /Users/Shared, and that should work.

How do I share music between user accounts on the same computer?

My wife and I have separate user accounts on the same MacBook Pro so that we can both sync our phones to this computer. My account is the primary user account, and my iTunes library is stored in this account. My wife would like to put music on her iPhone so she can run, but I can't seem to access the music library thru her account. I know the files are all on the hard drive regardless, so I just need to know how I can make iTunes on my wife's account access the library that's there. I've tried the steps I could find on Apple's website, but I can't seem to make it work. I'm running the latest versions of everything - even tho the post says I'm running 10.9.1, I'm actually running 10.9.4

Sharing music between different accounts - is this how it works?

The way iTunes shares music between different users seems a bit poor.
I have two user accounts set up on the same PC, with music files accessed by each from the same folder (as described here: How To Share Music Between Different Accounts On A Single Computer).
My main issues are:
1) I have to manually add new music added by the other user instead of it just appearing in iTunes.
2) iTunes doesn't recognise if a music file is already in the joint library, so we end up with two copies of things (particularly tiresome for podcasts).
Am I doing something wrong - maybe there is an easy way around this?
... or do the people at Apple need to do a bit of work here?

By default, any new file or folder created is set to be read+write for the creator, and read-only for everyone else. The file creator can grant write access to other users by changing the permissions on a folder and its contents, as Neil suggests. But you'll have to repeat that process every time a new file is added.
Fortunately, there is a way to automatically grant read+write access to all files created or copied to the folder. First go to System Preferences -> Accounts. Click the + button under the users list. Then, make a new group; calling it "sharegroup" or something similar. Add the users you want to the group.
Then put all the files you want to share into a commonly-accessible folder, such as a subfolder in /Users/Shared.
Then log in to an admin account and open Terminal. Paste in the following two lines:
sudo chmod -R +a "sharegroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
Press return, then drag the folder into the Terminal window, and press return again. Enter admin password when prompted and press return. That should do it. Everything there now should be fully writable by all users in sharegroup. New files that are *created in* or *copied to* the folder will be the same way.
Files that you *move in* from a different location on the same hard drive won't be, though. So make sure you copy previously existing files into the sharefolder instead of moving them (hold down option key while dragging to copy) so that they get the custom permissions applied.

HT3819 How to use homesharing between different user accounts on the same iMac?

I find plenty of articles about homesharing on iTunes between computers, but not between two different user accounts on the same iMac. Any advice or direction to an existing artical is greatly appreciated. I'm knew to the Mac and still have Windows on the brain.
I am trying to share iTunes music and movie purchases between my user login and my wife's.
Thanks

Hello careymp1017,
This can be achieved, but will not utilize HomeSharing. Further information and steps can be found in the following article.
