IPhoto '09: Two Facebook users on one machine

Hello,
My wife and I each have a Facebook account. When I want to upload pictures on my Facebook page, I get an error message saying iPhoto cannot connect to the social network. This happens afer a session where my wife added pictures in her own Facebook account. Then, I have to reenter my Fb username and password in iPhoto.
When my wife wants to upload pics to Facebook, she has to deal with the same situation.
Is there something we're not doing the right way? Can't we just provide both accounts' details in iPhoto and live a happier life???
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
I'm sure there would be a better way to ask an user to provide the necessary authentication information, instead of the actual error message...
Maybe someday Apple will consider the fact that more than one member of a family can use a computer and online services.
But I appreciate the reply. Thanks

  • Sharing iPhoto library among multiple users on one machine

    Take mercy on a newcomer to the Mac ...
    Having recently acquired an iMac I'm now trying to set up iPhoto 8 so that the same picture library is accessible from the three user accounts I created on the machine, for the three members of the household.
    I've seen some postings on this issue, which suggest rather convoluted solutions, such as using an external hard disk. I don't want to buy an external disc for this purpose; I just want to figure out a way to put my pictures in one place, and one place only, where I can organise and change them from my user, and where the other two users have at least read access.
    I have tried putting my pics in the shared folder, and redirected iPhoto there from my user, which worked fine. But then from the other users I get error messages that they don't have the required priviliges.
    Grateful for any advice!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Easy: there's no need to move the library at all.
    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.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • How to create an default profile for every user on one machine? Deployment of configurations?

    On firefox 3.5.X i can copy an configured profile from an user-folder to the programm folder of firefox. \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles.
    After an new user log in to the machine the default profile will get the actual profile of the new user. With all bookmarks, configurations and so on.
    But this doesn't work with the firefox 3.6.10? What changed? What will be the way i can get an default configuration for every user on one machine? I want to deploy the firefox with an default configuration in our enterprise? Why does the behaviour change?
    What to do?
    Thanks...

    No - there are no missing data, because nothing will be copied. The profile - folder does not work.
    There are the standard first start behavior.
    There might be another trick? Hint? Todo?
    Thanks.

  • Two ASM instance on one machine

    Can we have two ASM instance on one machine ? My Manager is saying he is positive and I don't have anything to show him that we can not do that. Is there any link, document anything available for this ?
    Thanks

    Keyur,
    This is an interesting question. I have seen references where in it clearly says that only one ASM instance is required per node irrespective of number of databases on a node. But, I haven't seen a clear indication, wherein it is mentioned that you can't start more than 1 ASM instances on a node. Therefore, I thought, I would give it a shot, by attempting to bring up a second ASM instance and here is what I get:
    SQL> startup nomount pfile=init+ASM5.ora
    ORA-00304: requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy
    SQL>
    If I shutdown my ASM1 (first ASM instance) then it allows me to bring up the ASM5 instance. This leads me to believe that you can't startup up more than one ASM instance on a single node.
    Here is a note, which mentions that you need only one ASM instance per node. https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/docs/ASM%20best%20practices.pdf

  • Which is better?    Two Oracle user in one instance OR  in two instances?

    Which is better?
    I could not find any benchmark for number of instances per user
    in the same machine.
    suppose that you have two major Oracle user, from performance
    point of view it is better to make separate instances in same
    machine or keep these two users in the same instance.

    Hi.
    I understand that you will use oracle for two different
    applications on the same host.
    Each instance has its SGA and background processes. So, using
    two different schemas(users) in one instance you can share
    phisical memory between the applications. Concerning background
    processes, you can start as many of them as you wish, so it's
    not a problem. If you decided that one DBW is not enough, you
    could configure oracle to use two or more.
    best regards,

  • Two ipod users on one computer

    Does anyone have any info on how to set up different iTunes for two different users? My wife and I both now have nanos, and very different tastes in music. How best to handle? Two different iTunes on one computer? Thoughts?

    The best way to have completely different iTunes libraries would be to set up separate accounts in Windows for each of you. That way you can each maintain completely separate music libraries.
    If you just want to have different sets of music on your iPods, set them either for manual updating or to update only selected playlists, then keep individual playlists for each of your iPods.

  • Can i have two iTunes accounts on one machine

    i have recently moved in with my partner and we both have our own iTunes accounts. is there a way to have both these accounts linked so that they can be kept seperate and still sync them both to our iPhones from one iMac. it is important that they are kept seperate as we have verry different tastes in music i want to be able to re split them should i need to.

    iTunes accounts are not linked to an OS X user account..

  • Easy way to migrate users from one machine to another?

    I have an iMac lab where students have their own local accounts. The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD. New school year, new seating charts, some users must move. Is there an easy way to migrate a user and all their stuff from one machine to another? We do have Remote Desktop BTW. I'm not finding an obvious answer so I guess there isn't but I sure wish there were. I suppose they could copy anything they want onto the server. set up a new account on the new machine and pull it all back off the server, but that's not "easy".

    Hi
    +The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD.+
    This could be a telling statement although without further information it would be hard to say?
    What I'm assuming from this is that current mac clients are bound to Active Directory. This would mean that user accounts exist on the Server and not locally. In which case there would be nothing to transfer other than the local admin account - again assuming you want the applications installed on the current client macs transferring over to the new client macs.
    To be honest it would be easier and less hassle to create a new local admin account and install compatible software fresh. Use the same tools you used to 'bind' the old client macs to Active Directory for the new client macs.
    +We do have Remote Desktop BTW+
    You could utilize this to (a) name all the new mac clients with appropriate hostnames and (b) 'bind' new mac clients by issuing dsconfigad from the command line. If this seems like too much hard work then you could simply exercise your legs and walk round each one in turn.
    Even if your current mac clients are configured with Mobile Accounts (locally cached network accounts) this would still not be a problem as you can manually or automatically sync the locally cached networked home folder back to the server and then log in with that account again on the new mac clients. The home folder should then be cached locally.
    This assumes you've configured Directory Utility in the appropriate way.

  • Use my user on one machine while someone else is on it?

    Hi, just wondering if this is possible.
    My kids have taken over my iMac LOL! and I am wondering if it's possible for me to login into it via my Macbook Pro and use my user on that machine while they are doing their thing, effectively having two users being used at once. Is this possible somehow?

    Sorry maybe I wasn't clear enough, I use file sharing all the time so I know about that, what I want is to be able to actually use the Imac while my kids are on it, basically like having 2 users at once, because I only run certain programs just on that machine I want to be able to login and use the machine while they are still using it. I think this may be possible via vnc or something.
    So basically my son is using the iMac playing a game but I am
    Also logged into the iMac using the machine, so simultaneous users on re machine at once.

    Dear Sadiq,
    From DB point of view there is no problem to install two separate databases     
    of DB2 on one machine. The DB2 source files are installed into different directories and will not                      
    impact each other.
    After installing the software, the DB2 instance called "db2<SID>' is   
    created with the DB2 version you choose. The installation procedure    
    depends on the SAP release.                                            
    Whether of not your machine is able to handle both systems running on one server depends on         
    the hardware and settings.                                             
    Regards,
    Paul

  • How do you merge two different users on one computer?

    I created a user account on my computer, then when I used Migration Assistant to transfer some of the files off my old computer onto my new MacBook Air it transferred them into a new user account.  How do I merge the two different users? They are both me.

    You can't "merge" users, you have to transfer the files using intermediate steps to deal with Permissions issues.
    You found out first hand that you should use Setup Assistant, rather than Migration Assistant to perform the action that is now causing trouble, and time.
    1) Log in to the A account.
    2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
    3) Log in to the B account.
    4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
    5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
    6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
    Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
    Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

  • Two different users.  One Time Machine Backup?

    I have two user profiles on my iMac. I'm just wondering if Time Machine backs up both profiles when I'm logged into one or do I have back up each profile individually?
    Thanks.

    B.C
    It will backup virtually the whole contents of your internal hard disk, so no worries. That's whether you are logged into a specific user account or not.
    Cheers!

  • Multiple users on one machine access iPhoto. Can I switch from external drive to partition?

    Multiple users share my iPhoto.  My iMac has a 1TB internal drive. I have a 250GB external that I've been using for iPhoto.  If I create a partition on my iMac's main drive to use for iPhoto, will this work exactly the same as it does now with a physically separate drive?
    I used to do this with ACLs, but for some reason that solution doesn't work for me with the new iPhoto.

    Yes. You don't need ACLs just set the partition to ignore ownership and permissions.

  • What is the best practice for setting up and migrating two notebook users on one desktop

    My wife and I have just purchased a desktop iMac and would like to migrate our 2 notebooks to it.  I plan to use the Migration Application to achieve this.  I am trying to gather information on the best ways to establish a main music library merging ours together, multiple photo libraries keeping ours apart and maintaining unique user log ins.  I'm sure alot of this stuff is may appear to be pretty straight forward setting up multiple users and all, yet we individually have never established multiple users on our personal notebooks, so there will be some bit of learning.  Any advice on the hang ups or tricks users have encountered would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Step one would be to the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and migrate your account, apps, and settings from your machine, using the Setup Assistant on first boot. Then, use the Migration Assistant to migrate your wife's account to the machine. That should carry over her photos and music. Merging those libraries should be detailed in the respective help files for iTunes and iPhoto. I don't share anything and only have one account, so I can't help with those details.
