Iphoto multi user account issues

Hi all.
I recently created a seperate user account for my wife. We want to share/modify the same iphoto library. We're using iphoto 9 v.8.1.2.
I've pretty much completed this by:
moving iphoto library from /pictures/ to /users/shared. Logging out of my account and into hers. Launching iphoto, holding down option key and pointing to the library in /shared/. She can now see the whole existing library I originally created. And has total access to all existing pictures and movie files. Job done!
However, she has since added new photo's to the library. BUT if I launch iphoto in my account and go to the photo's she has added, I can see the thumbnail of them but have no access/permission to do anything with them. Including viewing them. If its a picture (.jpg) I double click andit just goes black. if it's a video (.mpg) it says:
You do not have permissions to open the document **********.AVI
it seems to be only to do with photo's she adds under her account.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Each iPhoto in the two accounts must be running in order to share libraries. (Just another way of stating what hlumbard said).

Windows XP: multi-user accounts - one works, another doesnt!

Hi all,
I have installed the JRE many a time, but never on an XP machine with multi-user accounts...
my problem is that a jar file I have will run on one XP account, while the other account won't run, I just get Null Pointer Exceptions if i try to run it using "java -jar myApp.jar" or a Fatal Error JVM error if I double click the jar.
Any ideas? I tried installing the JRE from both user accounts, but no luck. Please help! :(
Scott

edit: sorry guys, n/m..it wasn't a JRE issue after all :)

Corporate or multi-user accounts?

Hello,
Does Adobe offer corporate or multi-user accounts for the CreatePDF or ExportPDF services? In other words, the ability to create user accounts for employees to use. Ideally there would be a console from which we could provide or remove access to the system for users.
If so, is the pricing model the same or are there discounts available depending on the number of accounts purchased?
Thanks for any help in answering these questions.

The CreatePDF Team option is no longer offered by Adobe.
The monthly and annual subscriptions options for CreatePDF can be found here.
The annual subscription option for ExportPDF can be found here.

Iphoto user account issues

Hi all,
I use my user account on my MacBook to copy pictures from phone, camera etc. When we try to view them using another user account, we can see the thumbnails but can not run slideshows, etc. The first image appears as you would expect, but the main screen then goes blank. At the bottom of the screen, it appears as though the slideshow is running as the yellow frame moves across the images, however nothing appears in the main view.
Any thoughts? I have tried to share the folder, but maybe haven't done it correctly...
Thanks
KJ

The Library is in the shared folder. I am not sure if I need to do anything other than place it here, so any guidance gratefully received.
Thanks
KJ

Sharing photos (in Iphoto) between user accounts

Hi, I am a new Mac user, so nothing is obvious to me at the moment and I therefore apologise for the simplicity of this question.
I have a new black MacBook OS X I have set up two accounts on it, one for myself and one for my wife. However there are some applications which we would like to share (IPhoto and ITunes). I can see that there is a shared drive and I have tried to move these applications into there, however my wife's account still can't get access to these files/applications.
I KNOW there is an obvious solution to this, but can't find it!
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks for any help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are two ways to share, depending on what you mean by 'share'.
If you want your wife 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 her account. In her account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in her source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
This will work with iTunes too.
If you want your nearest and dearest to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the Users/Shared (or an external HD)
Make sure the file permissions are set to allow read/write access to everyone
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Help... multi user accounts wont recognize ipod

I purchased the ipod nano for my husband as a present. We have one computer, running XP with multiple users. I installed the ipod under my user account and installed itunes6 fine. I was able to add music and pictures under my account. When my husband logs in under his user account. Itunes is there but the ipod does not show up under sources. It does show up in his account under my computer as a hard drive. How do I get itunes to recognize the ipod in his account?
Also I purhased additional ipods for my kids can we all use the same computer?

Tracy - I have the same arrangement as you do - I have 2 IPODs (wife's 5th gen 30Gb and my 4th gen 60Gb). You have to install the IPOD software and drivers (not ITunes) under BOTH user accounts and install the USB drivers and restart windows after it finds the new hardware and mass storage device.
XP is very user specific, so software and drivers loaded for your account do not all transfer to your husbands account on the PC. You will have to install the drivers / software for each IPOD for each new user individually.
After you get XP happy with the new hardware added, open ITunes, register the IPOD through ITunes, and point to where you want to store the library for each IPOD. If you intend to boh share the same library, point there and all should be happy.
Also note, if you have ITunes open in one account, and switch users and attempt to open ITunes again, it may give you some issues relating to library locations open from other users, etc. I would recommend that you log off each user, and use ITunes as a single user under your own log-in.
Hope this helps, and keep us posted...

User Account Issues - cannot open certian programs!!!

I have a MacBook Pro 3.1 operating 10.5.8
it is set up on an active directory and the network admins are set to administrate the machine.
However, the user has administrative rights but cannot open itunes or iphoto because of the error
"The folder "+program name+" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder"
how do i get rid of this and allow the user to have full control of the machine?

AzN Invasion wrote:

That sounds like another user has the same iPhoto or iTunes library open in his own account. iTunes and iPhoto libraries can only be accessed from one user account at a time, unless one is using the built-in sharing features (iTunes or iPhoto preferences -> sharing).

How to share iPhoto among user accounts

Could someone please tell me how to share the iPhoto pictures among all user accounts on my iMac? Thanks.

The iPhoto Application stays in the Applications Folder.
The iPhoto Library gets moved to the external disk.

Creating another User Account Issues

Hello-
I recently created another user account because of of corruption issues and need to have the same functionality in the new user profile. I transferred all the old user profile data to the new user profile as per instructions posted here:
Locate the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and Old_Username is the name of the profile
you want to copy files from.
Select all of the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:
Ntuser.dat
Ntuser.dat.log
Ntuser.ini
Click the Edit menu, and then click Copy.
If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt.
Locate the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and New_Username is the name of the new
user profile you created.
Click the Edit menu, and then click Paste.
If you don't see the Edit menu, press Alt.
Log off, and then log back on as the new user.
After doing this I have noticed some programs not launching the same with missing info. For example TeamSpeak3 launches but opens as a new user with none of my saved bookmark profiles even though they are listed in the directory file. To me
it has to be a permissions thing or User data transfer issue, because I have the user data in the old user app data file but none in the new user app data.
I am the only user of this computer so there is no user issues with other people and would like full functionality. Thanks in advance.

@ Kate Li thanks for responding and yes I did follow the instructions in the folder options to unhide and show all the files I didn't copy>paste that portion just to save room on the post. The link is the same as the one I used:
Click the View tab, and then click Show
hidden files, folders, and drives.
Clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, click Yes to
confirm, and then click OK.
One mistake I did make was to copy>paste the shortcuts when I know now to just create them from the program directory (send to desktop) context.
Would you happen to have a link explaining how to go about transferring or importing registry files?

I'm on an iMac for work and I'm having network/user account issues?

I'm on an iMac for work and have my own user account. I usually shut down the mac at the end of the day. Recently, in the morning its started to not let me login at all. When I enter the *correct* password, the box does the shakey thing and not let me in. The IT people here are primarily PC, but they've discovered if I unplug the network cable for a couple seconds and plug it back in, it will then accept my password and let me in. It only happened once in awhile, now it happens every time I log off and try to log back onto my user account. What is causing this and why do I need to constantly unplug and replug the network cable?

Error while trying to publish 2013 workflow via designer. Probably a workflow manager backend user account issue?

Hello, I am getting error while publishing the 2013 workflow via designer. Also, under sharepoint designer if I try to delete any workflow then the page just refreshes and the workflow does not get deleted.
I checked the services.msc and found that the workflow backend service was stopped. (this happened as the password of the user under which this serivce was running had changed).
So, the network admin changed the service user to LOCAL SYSTEM and started the service.
Now, the workflow backend service is started. We have run the iisreset also.
However, I am still getting the same error:-
System.IO.InvalidDataException: A response was returned that did not come from the Workflow Manager. Status code = 503:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Service Unavailable</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"></HEAD>
<BODY><h2>Service Unavailable</h2>
<hr><p>HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.</p>
</BODY></HTML>
Client ActivityId : ee94689c-4e08-b055-fe9c-268d7a94
Please find attached snapshot.
Is the error as a result of the change in service user? Can you tell me what priviledges should the account running the workflow backend service must have?
UPDATE 1:-
We have set the workflow service backend account user as farm admin and also tried to set it to site admin. The service is re-started. Now, for a new web application,
I can delete workflows. However, for existing site, I am not able to delete the existing workflows.. Also, I am not able to publish workflows (present under new and previous sites) and the error is same as described earlier.

Hi Nachiket,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error while publishing the 2013 workflow via SharePoint 2013 Designer.
As you have changed the password of this service. Please open IIS and make sure identify of the WorkflowMgmtPool is correct, you can re-type the identify. Then make this pool is started.
Open Services, find Service Bus Message Broker service and Windows Fabric Host Service. Make sure they are running. If not, firstly, start Windows Fabric Host Service, then start Service Bus Message Broker service. If Service Bus Message Broker service is
started, stop and re-start it.

Creating multi-user accounts

I need to purchase a Forms Central subscription. I work for an organization, and there is one person in my department who has a credit card to be used for software purchases. The person with the credit card will NOT be using the Forms Central subscription.
When she purchases the subscription, she will have to create an account using her email address. But she is not actually going to be using Forms Central and it's a security violation for me to access her Forms Central account (using her user ID and password).
How do I (the person who will be using the software) access this account? Is it possible to have a non-user create an account for others to use? Is it possible to add a person to the account?
Please help! Thanks, Nora

Hi;
The other person can purchase the subscription using her email address and then after the account has been set up (and has been "Verified", she can sign into FormsCentral) she can change the email for the AdobeID to be your email address.
One caveat - the Email address that you plan to use cannot already have an AdobeID, you have to create a new AdobeID with an email address that is new to Adobe for this to work. See this post where I describe the steps to change the Email associated with the AdobeID: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5987096#5987096

User account issues in school please help urgent

currently have 15 emacs on school network running 10.3.9 and the rest are windows machines the macs are standalone machines yet have the same logins for each. The issue is with setting up accounts for the students I dont want to use simple finder as the account type i want to use managed but the problem with that is students can select go connect to server and they can access all the servers on the network is there anyway of greying that out or getting rid of them being able to do that please help as this is urgent as students are in the process of doing coursework

Hi Craig
When you say you want to stop...
them being able to look at the computers on the network
is ambiguous.
I am presuming you are not concerned about students accessing other computers on the network, as there are ways of preventing that, but you simply do not want them to be aware of any machines on the network.
Using Simple Finder which presents a limited Finder menu without the Connect to Server showing will achieve this, but you say you don't want to do this.
Elements of the Finder menu cannot be turned on and off with Terminal. Terminal can modify network settings but it cannot as far as I know disable a menu item in the Finder. If that was effected, it would be called a hack.
I don't see a how to be networked and be blind to the network at the same time. Perhaps others may have a creative solution for you.

Remote Management Multi-User security issue

Hello,
This issue concerns both Mountain Lion and Lion servers. If I'm not mistaken, the issue is also officially described by Apple in the Lion release about Remote Managemenr vs Screen Sharing features.
My question is simple and yet unanswered after hundreds of Internet searches:
Why on earth a non-Admin user has the right to Share and Control the screen of another (Admin) user being logged-in a (Mountain) Lion server? It looks like the trick is that "Remote Management" instead of "Screen Sharing" is active. So what? Why a non-Admin should be allowed at all to view another users desktop just by typing-in his/her own credentials?
Am I missing something or is Apple really out-of-security context? Our admin devoted significant effort to arrange access for the shared directories. For what? To find out that the Screen Sharing security under ARD Management (Remote Management) is non-existent?
Am I terribly wrong?
Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
D.

Migration & multi user accounts

Just migrated to my new MBP from my Powerbook and all my old data is under a separate user. I'll only be using my new machine and I want the data available to my main user, and stuff like music migrated into iTunes and photos to iPhoto which it hasn't done. Have I missed a trick?
