Is there a way to have multiple users collaborate in lightroom from different computers

Hello,
First post... Be gentle.   I've been using lightroom for my personal photography since I switched to digital photography several years back. I'm currently using a Canon 5DIII, lightroom 5, running on a recent generation IMAC and it all works together very intuitively.   I've tried using a HP laptop in the past when traveling but I find that I have problems when trying to sync up the images between the laptop and the IMAC and seem to always lose something or lose my image tweaks or something... so I've since returned to just waiting until I return from the trips to tweak my photos on the imac.
Ok The question: I've recently started a outdoor gear review site Rugged Individual and as you will see if you check out the site, I'm having a hard time with photo management between all the different authors, and so have some horrible stock pics on the site.   My dream is to be able to have all the collaborating writers and photographers manage the images for their reviews in Lightroom or in a way that I could centrally access them from lightroom. This would make tweaking the images to look consistent SOOOOO much easier.
Is there a way to have 10 or more individuals use the same lighroom database? There would be a mix of different OS's.
I've searched the forums but haven't figured out how to do this effectively.   If there is another product that could be added to lightroom, or a cloud solution that lighroom could leverage, I would be very interested in trying it out.
I appreciate your help.

No need for apprehension Heath.
Unfortunately Lightroom does have certain limitations:
A particular catalog can only be accessed by one instance of Lightroom at one time.
(ie it is not designed for multiple simultaneous access.);
As far as I am aware a catalog cannot be accessed remotely although images can be.
Victoria Brampton has a solution using Dropbox where both the images and the catalog are stored on Dropbox.
Individual users download the catalog to thier workstation and work on images etc and then shut down Lightroom and update the catalog back to Dropbox.
No one else should acessing the catalog or images while one user is using the catalog and images otherwise a conflict will arise and someones work will be erased.
Disclaimer: this sort of setup is NOT supported by Adobe and is not risk free (for more reasons than I have elaborated).

Is there any way to have multiple user names/accounts on Icloud for families sharing an apple account?

MY husband just got a iphone 5s last night, I have an iphone 5. We sharean apple ID. When he backed up to icloud he got all of my pictures and contact numbers. Is there any way to create seperate icloud accounts so when one of us back up we are only backing up our own data??

You both need, & should use different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime. You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content.
Your husband needs an Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud.
The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
Then on his phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

Is there a way to view all favorites on one page from different albums?

is there a way to view all favorites on one page from different albums?
I can't seem to figure out how to view all favorites at one time.
nothing (thus far) is shared.
paid membership to revel, also.

oops - apparently you can do this from the app,
but not from the web login view.

Is There a Way to Have Multiple Address Books?

I would like to have 2 separate address books -- one for personal addresses, and another for business. Other than setting up a separate log-in account on my Mac, is there a way to have 2 separate address books? That way, when I look at all the entries, I wouldn't have to scroll through as many.

Michael Superczynski wrote:
A group for work contacts is a perfectly viable solution.
It might have been a viable solution if only the groups in Address Book were hierarchical, i.e if one could have e.g 50 groups in a Work "master" group, and 50 other groups in another Private "master" group, etcetera.
I currently find it difficult to deal with Address Book simply because I need and want to have many groups, many of them representing a list of people I have sent a group mail to, others representing other form of groups.

Just started using Lightroom 5. Is there a way to have imported photo changes in Lightroom automatically happen on my hard drive (MAC), this includes develop/editing changes and location changes. Do I have to import them a specific way or have a change se

Got tired of iPhoto and finally committing to using lightroom. Using the Lightroom 5 i purchased last year and want to commit to making it my primary way of managing and editing all of my photos ( about 8K). Is there a way to have imported images from my hard drive/Finder (MAC) show as the edited or moved image when i am working in lightroom? Basically want what i am doing in Lightroom to be reflected on my hard drive and vice versa so that i don't have to "add" or "copy" every time I want to work in lightroom.

Is there a way to have 2 users - but neither have to log in everytime?

Hi,
A couple I know want to use 1 computer - have separate "accounts" so they can just see their email in MAIL, their own documents in DOCUMENTS, etc...
However, neither want to keep putting in passwords to log in.
Is there a way to get rid of passwords all together, but still have fast user switching in the upper right hand corner?
Thanks in advance...

It is possible to remove passwords from their accounts; so that they are not needed to log in.
A passwordless admin account is a very bad idea. So if either of them are using admin accounts now (which they shouldn't be anyway), have them create a third account, make it admin, and then remove admin privileges and passwords from their own two user accounts. Keep a password on the admin account.

Is there a way to have multiple pass codes on a singe iPad or iPhone?

I would like to have multiple pass codes on my iPad2s. I need a separate pass code for the 'Reset" functions. I want to use one pass code for when the iPad is "booted' or woken up then a different passcode for when the "Reset" funtions are accessed. Is there any way to do this? During my testing I have not seen away to have different pass codes for the different functions.
i am using the iPhine configeraor but have not havd any luck setting up diferent pass ciodes when restrictions is runed on.
What I would really like is to completely disbalte the "Reset" function from within iPhone onfigurator.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry but no, that's not possible, at least not with the current version of iOS. You can have a different passcode for the screen lock and for the Restrictions, but that's all, and the Reset functions cannot be restricted.
Regards.

Is there a way to have multiple libraries/iPods on iTunes?

I only have one computer, but two iPods for two different family members. One iPod has its library currently loaded on iTunes. The other library is backed up to the computer from another computer that broke. All of the folders are in the correct order and I have the .xml file. With out another computer, is there another way to update the backed up iPod and library as well? If I were to connect the non-active iPod, that would just erase what is on it and sync the songs from the other library, right?
Windows XP

There is an article about it here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
There is another alternative which seems clunky to me which is to set two separate libraries on the same account and switch between them by starting iTunes with the shif key held down and choosing the other libraries. This is only possible with iTunes7.

Is there a way to have multiple responders work on the same form?

I am creating a form that multiple people need to answer.
For example, I work on a team where multiple people need to complete their part of the checklist for one employee. Is there a way multiple people can work on a specific for that was already started??

Yes, they could with the save web form data feature. You can enable it by going to Options -> Save Web Form Data and check "Enable respondents to save progress". The catch is that once a respondent completes and saves his responses, the link to retrieve his form data will be sent to his email, he may forward over to next person who needs to continue to fill out the form.

Is there a way to have multiple columns of questions on my form?

I'm trying to find if there is a way to have a segment of my form in a two column format because I have a lot of one line questions to ask (of which many will be left blank) and I don't want to overwhelm our clients with an excessive amount of scrolling.
The format I am looking for would be roughly like this:
Item One      [text input]        Item Five      [text input]
Item Two     [text input]        Item Six        [text input]
Item Three   [text input]        Item Seven    [text input]
Item Four     [text input]        Item Eight     [text input]

That's excellent news! Everything else about Forms Central is perfectly intuitive and just what we need. Once the multi-column capability is out, I think we will be set for a long time to come.
