Lightroom 3.6, two Mac users on same computer, sharing same catalog?

Lightroom 3.6, Mac 10.7.4, images storred on networked 3TB RAID 2 hard drive, trying to use program and same catalog by two different users on the same machine. Installed program on my wife's user account, moved catalog into her Public folder, set file sharing to allow me to Read/Write all files in the folder. Quit Lightroom, logged off as her, logged on as me, started Lightroom. Lightroom asks me to selecet a catalog, I navigate to her Public folder and select the catalog created under her login. Lightroom will not open catalog, stating that the file isnot writable.
Have looked under System Preferences and confirmed file sharing status that allows both her and me to Read/Write to all files in her Public folder. Confirmed that I quit Lightroom under her account (not just minimized) and logged off as her (not just switching users).
I sure hope that this is possible - I don't want to log on as my wife every time I need to use the program and have to look at her wallpaper and file organization. My bigger goal is to set things up so that I can buy another Mac for me, buy another copy of lightroom, and access the same catalog from the other machine via our LAN.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
jtk

I suggest you ask specific usage questions in the LR forum....

  • Two mac users on same computer

    I have searched the forum on this one but I am obviously entering the wrong search terms: we have a macpro with two users and one licence running cs3. does this create an issue with licencing? It is the same machine doing the same job. We only have two users for different email settings but could just as well have a single user.
    Thank you

    No, it does not.

  • Can I instal Lightroom on my two mac book pro?

    Can I instal Lightroom on my two mac book pro?

    Apple decision to remove iDVD will deter me from recommending Mac to fellow Windows users.
    Many other Mac users feel the same way.

    Now that my newly bought Mac does not provided a avenue for me to burnt DVDs, I am
    really disappointed.
    If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • Mime attachments in Mail from two mac users

    I've been receiving mime attachments in Tiger Mail from Ebay and members for a while and I've searched the forum for answers but haven't found a viable solution yet. I end up using TextEdit to open them. I've contacted ebay about this and they have no clue, and think it's spam even though I tell them I get them from Ebay tech support, however they do show up ok in my RCN webmail when I check there.
    Anyway that's not the problem now, I was trying to troubleshoot my father's mail problem who is Panther Mail and it mysteriously stopped working for him a couple days ago both sending and receiving. However he is getting them from his webmail at SBC/Yahoo formerly Ameritech. I checked his account settings over the phone and they seemed correct to what he had before but I had him contact his provider.
    They don't seem to know what's going on and wanted him to contact Apple.I had him contact them again and they finally did have him change his outgoing mail server from Ameritech to SBC/Yahoo. So he is able to send from there now but not receive emails. ( he still still sends and receives ok at his webmail site) . Since they changed the outgoing mail server however, the email he sends me (all plain text) is coming now as a mime attachment.
    I've never seen this before from two Mac users using Mail and plain messages. I had him try changing back to the Ameritech outgoing sever but that still doesn't work. And again if I check my RCN webmail I can view these messages fine in the body of the email there, just not in Mail. Any ideas what may have caused this? Is it because of the Yahoo outgoing mail server? He's about givin up and has resorted to his webmail only for now. I generally like Mail but this is a pia.

    <Where is it designated as a "mime-attachment" & where does the "27bytes" text appear?>
    It shows mime-attachment(27bytes) just below the little plain document icon. This shows up both in the body of the email and also the little attachment drop down menu below the To / subject area.
    <Also, if you go to Mail's View > Message submenu when one of these messages is open, which (if any) 'alternate' menu choices are available (not grayed out)? >
    All are greyed out except Long headers and Raw source.
    Here is the header info in the message if that helps any:

  • How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • HT1491 two ipad users on one computer, now i have update the wrong user on my ipad

  • Is it possible to share the same iCal on two MAC users?

    Please help me. Is it possible for me to share the same iCal on two different MAC users? I know that you can sync it to an ipod or iphone, but can you share it on the same MAC with another user?
    If anyone knows, please tell me! Thank you!

    I think the easiest way to share calendars between the two users on the same Mac is by using Google Calendars/Calaboration.
    (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358#ical)
    After following the instructions in the link, export your iCal calendar and import it into the new Google Calendar. All events will appear in the new Google calendar which you can see in iCal or gmail. Set this up with the same google account information used when configuring the first user account and both users will be able to write and/or remove events in the calendar using iCal.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. can two macs have the same library?

    I am running iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have an iMac and a MacAir. How do I have one photo library, say on the iMac, that is then replicated onto the MacAir?

    There are two ways to "sync" the two libraries.
    #1 - with the two Macs connected download and use  SyncPhotos
    Here's how it works:
    it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B.
    the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.
    it then does the same for B.
    metadata is not copied.
    It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.  This method does not require you to make the decision of which photos to sync. 
    NOTE:  this method does not sync keywords, titles, ranking or descriptions.
    #2 -  download and use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to copy the Events in Library A that are not in LIbrary B to Library B.  Then select those Events in Library B that are not in A and copy to A.
    This method requires you to make the determination which photos (Events) to copy between libraries.  It does copy all metadata, keywords, titles, etc. as well as Faces and Places.

  • Same query takes different time for two different users with same privileges

    Hi,
    Just wanted to know if it is possible for an INSERT query to take different amount of time for two different users for the same volume of data. If so, what could be the reason? I would like to add that we are not executing the query simultaneously. But it is always faster for user1(within 10-20 seconds) and slower for user2(takes around 8-10 minutes).

    Show execution plan for each user. I think there is other reasons which you didn't not tell

  • Two ssl users from same client machine

    Hi all,
    We are using oracle database 10.2.0.3 EE and have a ssl user set up from the app server to the database based on metalink note 736510.1. That being said I have been asked to create another ssl user but how is that possible. I tried in the database but came back with:
    ORA-28026: user with same external name already exists
    So I created a second wallet for the second user but is it possible to define two wallet locations in the oracle client sqlnet.ora file? I can point the location to either but is it possible for two.
    Here is what is in client sqlnet.ora file:
    WALLET_LOCATION =
    (SOURCE =
    (METHOD = FILE)
    (METHOD_DATA =
    (DIRECTORY = /path1/ssl)
    How can I tell it to also check for the other (i.e. /path2/ssl)? Any ideas for this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Troy

    Hello Troy;
    There is a restriction that a single SQLNET.ORA file can contain only one entry of WALLET_LOCATION or ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION.
    This notes explains how to get by that restriction :
    How To Maintain Multiple Wallets For A Single Database Instance [ID 759226.1]
    I think you can do something like this too, so in theory you can use an alias.
    ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION=
      (SOURCE = (METHOD = HSM)
         (METHOD_DATA =
           (DIRECTORY = /etc/ORACLE/WALLETS/<$ORACLE_SID>)))Best Regards

  • After creating two mac users do not see when I turn on the second

    Hello , after installing Yosemite I created two administrative users , turn on the computer but I do not see you and the other , I have to get into the first and by this move to the second . how do I fix ? thank you very much

    Hi jpacchioni,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact issue you are describing. If you are saying that you are not seeing a login screen or the second user on startup, thereby forcing you to go into the first user and then switch to the second user, you may need to check your Login Options. You may find the following articles helpful:
    Customize the login experience
    If you are an administrator, you can specify how the login window looks to all the other users.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Click the lock icon  to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password. 
    In Users & Groups preferences, click Login Options.
    Click the “Automatic login” pop-up menu, then choose a user, or choose Off.
    If you choose a user, then whenever the Mac starts up, that user is automatically logged in. If you choose Off, then at startup the Mac opens a login window showing all the users. Automatic login takes effect the next time you restart the Mac. For better security, don’t set your Mac to automatically log in an administrator. If FileVault is turned on, automatic login is disabled. 
    Select the options you want. If you have any questions, click the Help button for detailed information.

  • Need help with 2 users accessing same catalog in pse12 organizer mac

    I recently went from pse7 windows to pse12 and pe12 mac version, as my old pc ran out of space, and lots of photo projects to do. I installed the programs, and started using under both my and my wife's user names.
    Now, I would much prefer that we use the same catalog under organizer, but don't know how, short of using the Revel "cloud" feature, which neither of us want.
    I tried managing catalogs, and moved my user catalog to the "shared" area, but cannot get my wife's pse12 organizer to see it.
    Any help would be appreciated- I have put a LOT of effort into the organization of about 3,000 family photos in my catalog, and would hope that both of us could access the fruit of this effort.

    Thanks for the input. I do not want us to access it at exactly the same time, as we share one imac. I would just like to have us both see the same catalog when we are logged in, when the other is offline. Does your answer still apply? Thanks again!

  • Misrouted emails to .mac users with same name as person at different ISP?

    In the last 6 months I've received emails from strangers with .mac addresses whose prefix (eg jimbo@) is the same as the actual name of someone in my address book who isn't a .mac user. It looks as though mac is looking at the name, searching for a .mac user with that prefix, and misrouting the email to them instead!
    Any ideas? Is it possible? Any fixes?
    iMac & Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I wrote an email to a friend nicknamed Alleycat. I had not put
    Alleycat in the name fields in address book, but it is the prefix
    of the email address, which goes to her website. Forgetting this,
    I carelessly typed 'Alleycat' in 'To:' and it came up as the blue button
    which indicates mail knows the address (which it should not have done),
    so I hit Send.
    The Mail.app stores all message recipients in the list of Previous Recipients in Mail by default and the Mail.app autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
    At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients. A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address. You can add a previous recipient to the Address Book or remove a previous recipient from the list. Removing a previous recipient from the list of Previous Recipients in Mail has no effect on Address Book entries.
    A week later I got a worrying personal response from a totally
    unknown (but real) [email protected], and the friend Alleycat
    had not received my mail.
    Do you save all sent messages? If so, is this sent message still available in the account's Sent mailbox to view the email address in the To: field?
    The Mail.app autofill feature does not make up an email address. As previously provided, the autofill feature pulls from contacts in the Address Book and from the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
    Regarding being infected by a Trojan written for OS X, this would require opening an attached file that is masquerading as something legitimate and you would also be prompted for your admin password before the malicious script is installed.
    You cannot be infected by anything targeted at OS X (which are few and far between anyway) by opening an email message alone.
