How to share the movie library

My mac is networked with another mac in the house. I want to share my movie library with that mac. So I went to the iTunes Preferences and checked Look for shared libraries and Share my library on my local network. I did the same on the other mac, but I can't see my movies on that mac. Is there something else I need to do, maybe having to do with a firewall? I'm stumped. We each have our own iTunes installed, so it isn't one that is on a shared drive specifically.
Thanks -

Click on the name of the shared library in the itunes source pane on the left hand side. Wait for the library to load. click on the black triangle next to the name of the shared library. There should be a movies playlist listing all of the movies that are referenced through itunes on the other computer. Also from the look for shared libraries preferences, check that share entire library is checked.

How to share the Photos library on iCloud Drive with other family members?

I have uploaded our family photo-library to iCloud drive (136GB+). It works great!
But how can my wife (with her own iCloud-account, but within the family) see and use our library?

Tnx for the reply, though I already feared this was the answer.
Family sharing works well for keeping contact lists separated and we do not need to see all the crap the other half shoots with their iPhone.
But as family-members, we DO want to use our communal photo-library.
It would be great if you could share your entire library with family-members or at least select which albums to share with who.
Also it is silly that you can share a photo only to one other iCloud-album. If I shoot a nice pic of the kids I would want to share it with my wife AND with others.
The same would work for contacts. The family-head should be able to assign which contacts are shared and which are separate.
I hope Apple will update the family-possibilities so that this is fixed.

One mac mini, 2 users, how to share the itune library?

I just got a mac mini, and have two accounts. one is the admin and a second for another person. I'd like to be able to use the same itune library without having to have two separate files (each at 12.9GB).
I tried to put the itune music file in the shared folder and tell the second account's itune to play from it, but it does not work.
how to do this?
thanks

HT5622 My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share the music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID. How do I set her up to share the music library that exists in iCloud?

My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share our music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID. How do I set her up to share the music library that resides on the iCloud under my Apple ID?

You would need to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap her ID, sign out, then sign back in with your ID. However, if she has turned on automatic downloads, download previous purchases or signed into an iTunes Match account using her current ID, she would have to wait 90 days from when she first did this to change to another ID. She can, of course, sync your music to her device using iTunes without changing her ID association.

Imovie 10: how to move the (movie) library to an external drive

Hi all,
using imovie '11 it wasn't any problem to move the (movie) library to an external drive following these instrcutions: <http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2289?viewlocale=en_US>. After updating to mavericks and imovie 10 I can't find the hard drive icon to pull down the drive list any more.
Maybe I missed something very obvious but would be very happy for any suggestion.
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Stephan

Your events and projects now reside in an file or files with extension .imovielibrary. You can create a new library wherever you want from within iMovie and drag and drop events into it from an exisitng library. If you want to move the complete library, select the library then go File - Consolidate Project Media. This ensures the library is self-contained and doesn't have any links to external media which could break when it is moved. You can then move the library to the external HD using the Finder. When you restart iMovie you will have to select File - Open Library - Other and navigate to its new location.
There are a lot of changes in imovie 10 and its really necessary to study the help file (http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov3fa25bae7)

Can two people share the same library?

I installed a new mac mini which we're planning on using as a media hub and as a machine to sync my iphone from. I want to have a "Server" login on it just for itunes to run the backend for Apple TV. However, I'd also like my itunes library on my "Personal" login. Can I share the same library betwixt the two (if put into the Shared folder?) or do I have to set it up in my Personal and then share it to the Server login? If I do that, don't I have to login to both and run itunes before it'll work? I'd like to avoid anything like that because I travel often and want something my family can leave on and reboot easily while I'm away, without giving my kids access to my Personal login.

I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

How to share administrator iPhoto library with other users on same iMac?

How to share administrator iPhoto library with other users on same iMac?

This is the part I'm referring to:
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
The library stays in the Pictures folder for this.

How to share a object library

Dear Adobe Community,
I am using the Adobe (JetForm) Output Designer Version 5.4.0. 130
As we are working in a team on several forms (IFDs), which include
some objects from a object library, we would like to share the same library
within the team. I could not find any option to export / import objects from one
library to another one.
Is there a possibility to share the same library with multiple users, for example on a
network-share-drive? If yes, how can we implement this?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Best regards
Jan

hi Michel,
Here is all the info 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.
Sharing links from Apple....

Looking for shared photos
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.

Why do two iPods need to share the same library? Is there any way I can change it?

I owe one iPod and brought another today, and I just set up the other one. They're both the same model - iPod touch 8GB - and I've set the second one up. I've had the first one for some time, about an year, and I only bought another for a family member. I was wondering why do we need to share the same library and how can we change it. Help would be welcomed since we really like different kind of genres and we disagree on them, so we really really want to change this. I can't even say how much we need to change the setting. Thank you!

Sherlocked, There are a few ways you can solve that problem.
If you do want to share the same library, use the capabililty to "Sync Selected Playlists," so that each iPod will only get the music that its owner wants.
Alternatively, you can set up two separate libraries. This is easiest if you use two different Windows user IDs on the computer. Then each iPod owner can sync to his own library.

Can 2 apple ids share the same library..ie music, videos,apps ect

I have an apple id and my wife would like to get her own as well, but we would like to share the same library, music, apps, books, ect. We are trying to avoid paying twice for same items but want our own id for ichat and personnel devices. Is this possible and if so how can I do this?

If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there. You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password. In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).

How to share the same Database Connection when using several Task Flows ?

Hi All,
I’m using JDev 11.1.1.3.0.
I’m developing ADF Fusion Applications (ABC BC, ADF Faces…)
These applications are deployed on a Weblogic server.
Each application has only one Application Module.
All Application Modules have the same connection type defined: JDBC DataSource : jdbc/GCCDS
It is working fine.
I’ve also developed Task Flow Applications for small thinks that are reused in multiple main applications.
Each Task Flow Application has also one Application Module with the same connections type as main applications.
All these task flows are deployed to JAR file (ADF Library JAR File) and are reused on my main applications. (drag and drop from the Resource Palette to ADF Regions….).
There are some parameters passed to Task Flows, so that they can filter data depending on which main applications they are called from.
Everything is working perfectly.
All my main applications are using more and more task flows. Which is nice for the reusability etc…?
Only ONE PROBLEM: DATABASE CONNECTIONS.
Every Task Flows service made a database connection. So one user may have 10 database connections for the same adf page. And when there are 100 users that are working at the same time, it becomes a problem.
How to share the same database connections for the main applications and all task flows which are used in the main application?
Best Regards
Nicolas

Hi John,
When I open a ADF Library JAR file of one of my task flow. (gcc_tf_recentSites.jar)
I can see TF_RecentSitesService.xml and TF_RecentSitesServiceImpl.class in gcc_tf_recentSites.jar\mu\gcc\tf\recentSites\model\service folder
+ bc4j.xcfg in gcc_tf_recentSites.jar\mu\gcc\tf\recentSites\model\service\common folder.
bc4j.xcfg details are
+<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>+
+<BC4JConfig version="11.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bc4j/configuration">+
+<AppModuleConfigBag ApplicationName="mu.gcc.tf.recentSites.model.service.TF_RecentSitesService">+
+<AppModuleConfig DeployPlatform="LOCAL" jbo.project="mu.gcc.tf.recentSites.model.TF_RecentSites_Model" name="TF_RecentSitesServiceLocal" ApplicationName="mu.gcc.tf.recentSites.model.service.TF_RecentSitesService">+
+<Security AppModuleJndiName="mu.gcc.tf.recentSites.model.service.TF_RecentSitesService"/>+
+<Custom JDBCDataSource="jdbc/GCCDS"/>+
+</AppModuleConfig>+
+<AppModuleConfig name="TF_RecentSitesServiceShared" ApplicationName="mu.gcc.tf.recentSites.model.service.TF_RecentSitesService" DeployPlatform="LOCAL" JDBCName="gccdev" jbo.project="mu.gcc.tf.recentSites.model.TF_RecentSites_Model">+
+<AM-Pooling jbo.ampool.maxpoolsize="1" jbo.ampool.isuseexclusive="false"/>+
+<Security AppModuleJndiName="mu.gcc.tf.recentSites.model.service.TF_RecentSitesService"/>+
+</AppModuleConfig>+
+</AppModuleConfigBag>+
+</BC4JConfig>+
So, it seems that the Application Module is packaged with the task flow....
Is it normal ?

I purchased moveis from my ipad through ituens. They downloaded, but now I can't find them. When I open itunes and click on movies I just get the movie library to buy movies. If I click on Purchased it takes me to my. Where are my purchased movies?

I purchased moves from my ipad through itunes. They downloaded and I synched them to my computer. I cannot find them on my ipad. I open itunes click on Movies and it takes me to the movie library to purchase more movies. Where did my purchased movies go on my ipad?

They should have downloaded into the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
If they aren't in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ?
