How to share photos with other users

Hi Achim,
You have to open that port on your Mac. Usually when you go to sharing prefs there is a checkbox to allow iPhoto sharing (thus opening that port)
Here are all the links I have on 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.

If you have iPhoto on an iOS device rather than a Mac, you can create a 'Photo Journal', which is an online gallery hosted on iCloud: details here -

This facility is not as yet available in iPhoto on a Mac. If you don't have an iOS device you will need to find a third-party alternative. This page examines some options:

Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:

How do I share contacts with other family members?

Click on the Sharing button in Contacts. Several options:
You can also select a bunch of contacts and Export them as vCards. Deliver them to the Family members via disk, thumb drive, email, Airdrop, etc.
If you mean "share" as in Calendar sharing, then that is not possible.

How to share photos with multiple iPads

I am looking to share my photos with other family members who have iPads. How can I "publish" photos that will sync to multiple devices over WiFi? In other words, I want to push photos of my children to their grandparents (as simple as possible for the grandparents)

Wifi will only work if they are al on the same wireless network. An easier solution might be dropbox. You can post your pictures there, share the link with anyone who you want to see the pictures, and they can bring them onto their machines. This will work with family members who do not have pads, on any device that can acccess the web.
I believe you can set up an account for free.

Share itunes with other users, windows 8

I have just bought a new PC running windows 8. For each member of my family I have set up individual user accounts. I have then installed iTunes and attempted to follow the instructions located at iTunes: How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer - Apple Support to ensure that we can all access my centrally stored iTunes media/libraries. I have followed the instructions to the letter but it does NOT WORK on Windows 8. It may have worked on other versions, but not windows 8. Please, do not respond with the above link - it's already driven me crazy that this is the only result google turns up.
In iTunes, I have used 'edit preferences' to select the public music - 'iTunes media' folder on all accounts, and keep checking the actual public folder (C - Users - Public - Public Music - ITunes - ITunes Media) to make sure all the data is there. Indeed it is there. But for each other user, iTunes won't display any of the songs in my library, or any of the playlists.
I have even tried holding shift, opening iTunes and then selecting the central library. This just results in the music all being displayed, but iTunes displaying the message that it can't find any of the songs.(I have over 30,000...).
I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes several times, and have deleted and reinstalled the iTunes data - music. libraries etc (currently backed up on an external HDD) several times. I can get iTunes to work on my account only (administrator) - but whenever I try to set up other users to access the public content, iTunes won't cooperate.
As far as I can tell, with Windows 8, there is NO WAY TO SHARE YOUR ITUNES LIBRARIES WITH OTHER USER ACCOUNTS. I have read all the previous threads on this topic, have googled everything, and have looked on youtube
Apple - this not good enough.

Was it these directions?

Did you read the line at the bottom?
+When another user of the computer has imported new music from CD, repeat steps 6 through 8 to add the music to your library+ .
You need to drag the public folder over into those user's itunes window.
Alternatively, itunes menu > file > add folder to library
When you download or rip new CDs, each user has to add it manually to their library list.
Or use something like itunes folder watch.
When you changed the other users itunes preferences, that will affect FUTURE additions. Now you are in the future and they need to add those songs to their itunes database list.
With itunes 9 you might have success putting new music in this *Automatically Add to itunes* folder

But I haven't tried it.

How to share dashboards to other users?

Dear All,
I have a created dashboards in My Folders.
Now i need to share dashboards to other users with read only.
How can i do it?
Please share some tutorial or advice.
BR,
Eba

Hi,
This is really bad idea but I will provide solution for you.
Give me user permission like administrator means (whom want to access those dashboards give me permission like administrator).
ex: Administrator can able to see all dashboard right-- same way you can asign permission like administrator.
Create user in your rpd and select group Administrator. then try to login answer he can see all the dashboards.
Method :-2
Using Catalog Manager go to the user folder you want to share and change the ownership recursively to the account you are logged on Catalog Manager with. Then change and cascade the permissions recursively to add the other user/group that wants to see the user's dashboard. After doing that you will be able to reference the user's dashboard with a URL like this one (assuming the dashboard the page is named page 1 as per the default user's dashboard):
/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard;PortalPath=/users/user/_portal&Page=page%201&Action=Navigate
Hope this help's
Thanks

How to share iTunes with two users on the same mac.

My wife & I use the same iMac with different user accounts. How do we share one iTunes account on that computer. I tried moving the iTunes folder in music on my user account to shared user, but it seems like new iTunes folders are created in the original location when I do this. What am I doing wrong.

Then hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder in /Users/Shared/ folder.

Best way to share photos with PC users?

I'm a new mac user so have been using my pc and kodak gallery for quite some time now as a tool to share pictures, however,I woul like to continue sharing photos with mostly pc users. I usually share about 100 at a time. On my PC, I was able to change the name of a picture into a description that would then get imported into kodak gallery so I had the description on both the site and the pc. On the Mac, I love the ability to assign a comment to the picture but is there anyway to bring this comment into the title of the pictures in any of these photosites (such as shutterfly, snapfish or kodak gallery).

You can do this with the title field in iPhoto, rather than the comments field. Changing the title in iPhoto does not rename the file; it is only used within iPhoto. However, you can select all the photos you want to share, then do File > Export to a folder on your desktop. Where it says Name you have the option to export by title. The original files inside iPhoto will be untouched. You will get a copy (outside iPhoto) of each selected file, and the file names will then match their iPhoto titles. During the export is also where you can choose to resize the files, so that you are uploading smaller photos (necessary for email and some websites).
Kodak Gallery has a batch uploader for Mac, called Ofoto, that you can download onto your Mac. You can drag the whole folder of exports from your desktop to the Ofoto window and upload at once. When you have finished uploading, you can trash the desktop files, since they are only copies.

How to share iphoto with two users in the same imac maverick

I can´t find the way to share iphoto/itunes with two users in the same imac with maverick software

In conclusion, the new software is worse than the old one, really? Because in my old mac I could share easily without copy with an external USB
It's not iPhoto that dropped the ball but the system. I believe it was Mavericks that broke the Shared folder compatibility for iPhoto, not iPhoto itself.
Also having the library on an external HD is a good way of freeing up space on the boot drive to assure optional system and application performance.
