Mail bounces between two accounts

I have two email accounts on my macbook pro - Earthlink and Gmail. I have Earthlink set as the default account from which mail should be sent and this works fine. The problem is when someone replies to my original message and then I reply back, the message always comes from Gmail. How can I correct this?

The easiest way to accomplish this is to *create a new admin account* in the System Preferences/Accounts Pref Pane. Once the new admin account *(make sure the Allow user to administer this computer is checked in the new account)* is set up and performing like it should (by logging into it and verifying that you can actually administer the computer), change your primary account (the account that owns your emails) to a standard account by un-checking the *Allow user to administer this computer* in the Accounts Pref Pane. You can still administer the computer with your standard account, you will have to provide your admin login and password in the Authentication dialog boxes.
Hope this helps.

Share iPhoto Library between two account

I’m am new in MAC world and I want to share pictures between two account in my iMAC. Rather than have the iphoto library on my account I was wondering if it's possible to share iphoto library with account of my wife.

Hi There,
I was told to follow a different course to share my iPhoto Library. I put it in the Shared Folder and changed the permissions to read right for everyone. Now all account holders can access the iPhoto library in the Share folder.
There's a problem though when User A logs in and accesses the iPhoto library a warning comes up that says 'You don't have permission to access some files. Would you like to repair the permissions' If ou click on 'Repair' User A now has full access.
When User B tries to access the iPhoto library they get the same message. Once permissions are repaired again, they have full access to the library. When User C tries, same thing again.
When User A goes back again to use the iPhoto library they must repair the permissions all over again. How can this be avoided. When I attempt to change the permissions on the iPhoto Library to Read and Write for everyone the file becomes locked and inaccessible.

What makes my default project location to bounce between two places in FCP X?

I wonder what makes my default project location to bounce between two places in FCP X?The project I am working on is on my local disks which are backed up (daily) to external eSATA enclosure. If I run FCP X just by clicking its icon (not a project file) in most cases it opens FCP X with a project but in event library there is not files linked.Sometimes it expands the project’s library located on backup station.
To make active the the local version (get it expanded and access all the files related to the project, I have to: close FCP X, launch FCP X by click on a project or a library file, close FCP X again and then I can get the project and its content displayed correctly just by clicking on a FCP X icon.
After backup is made (I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup this volume) if I relaunch my FCP X, I have to start the procedure mentioned above all over again. What I am doing wrong?

Munas, what you describes sounds a lot like the problem I've been experiencing.
I have two matching external drives mounted. Drive 1 is the primary, Drive 2 is an identical back-up. Both identically formatted.
FCPX randomly opens drive 2 when I start the program, even when I click on a sidebar link to a project on Drive 1. The clips are often, nonsensically, shown as off-line.
I really don’t care if FCPX recognizes drive 2, in fact I wish it wouldn’t. I don’t, obviously, want to unmount Drive 2 just to use FCPX.
My workaround for this was to rename the Final Cut Events and Final Cut Project folders “FCE” and “FCP” respectively on Drive 2, and configure my back up utility accordingly.
Now, although Drive 2 is listed in the Events and Project Libraries on start up, FCPX doesn’t recognize any events or projects on it, and it sits there as an icon that can’t be expanded. I can live with this until a fix comes, in fact I rather like it.
Cheers

Sync contacts between two account iCloud

Hi everyone,
Me and my wife both have iphone. We usually used just one iCloud account, so we had shared calendar, contacts etc. etc. which is very useful for us.
Since Siri has arrived it begun to create troubles with the contacts, because the contact marked as "me" is the same for both iphones, so on my iphone siri calls me with the name of my wife...
Now with the new "family" function with iOS 8 i can finally separate the iCloud accounts on our iphones, and still have the same apps, calendar etc. on both of them.
My problem is with the contacts, we would like to keep the same contacts on both iphones and synched, but i can't do that with the "family" function.
Anyone can suggest me a way to sync contacts between two account iCloud selecting which information to share?
Thanks

Thanks. You said: "When you setup iCloud the On my Mac contacts should've been moved to iCloud I think (can't remember what happened in my case)."
Actually that does not happen, or at least it didn't happen to me.

Sharing One iPhoto Database Between Two Accounts

Re: Sharing Photo's on the same iMac between two user accounts

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
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.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) 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.

Sharing between two accounts on the same Windows Vista PC

Is it possible to home share between two different accounts on the same computer?
On my son's account, iTunes for some reason won't connect to the iTunes Store. So I would like to enable him to purchase stuff on my account and then use home share to access it. We both use the same Apple ID at home.

By accident I came across a solution that may work for you. This works on a Mac but I think it should work in Windows as well.
On the Mac, if I log into a user account and launch iTunes and then use Fast User Switching to log into another account leaving iTunes running in the first account. I can then launch iTunes in the second account and access all the media stored in the first account's iTunes library using Home Sharing.
I believe Windows has the same ability that allows one user to log into their account while another user is already logged in. If so you may be able to do the same thing in Windows. I'm not sure what happens in Windows to running application when the second user logs in though. If applications are allowed to continue running then I don't see why this shouldn't work in Windows as well. If applications are paused then I can see this not working. The key here to to not log out of the first account therby forcing the applications to stop running.
The downside is that your son would first have to log into your account and launch iTunes before logging into his own account. If giving your son access to your account password is not ideal you could also create a third computer account that both of you have access to that would be used only to store and buy iTunes content. That account could be used as the sharing account that you both can have access to while logged into your own respective accounts.

Sharing iPhone apps between two accounts on a single mac.

Firstly, apologies if this topic has been covered many times before, I've tried to look, but can't find the exact answer I need.
I have recently purchased two iphones and want to use them on seperate apple ID's - I want different iCloud storage for each phone.
I have a macbook which has two accounts (one for me and one for my wife). When I login to my account I have access to my itunes account and when my wife logins into her account she has access to her itunes account.
I have followed the instructions for sharing musics between two users on the same mac - by moving the itunes media folder to the shared folder on my mac. I have copied everything in that folder (music, movies, apps etc). I have also set up home sharing as I believe that you can share apps between itunes accounts using it. Everything seems to have worked ok in terms of her itunes being able to access the music, movies etc, but the apps don't seem to work properly. I went through the subfolders of the itunes media folder and changed the folder permissions to read and write for everybody (because I was getting a permissions error) and she now has access to the apps that are there (on my itunes account), but the apps that she has downloaded on her phone are not being transferred to the macbook. I've tried the reset warnings suggestion and that hasn't solved the issue.
Am I doing something wrong? Should the apps folder within the itunes media folder not be moved with the music when transferring to the shared folder? Any ideas why music and movies sharing is working ok, but not apps?
Thanks in advance!

Split gift certificate between two accounts?

I received a gift certificate for 50 songs on itunes. Can I split the gift cert between two different accounts ie half for me and other half for husband?

You can't. Once redeemed into one account, the whole balance is put there and can only be removed by spending it from that account or asking Apple to clear it; the balance can't be used to gift content or buy gift cards or certificates.

Mail Migration with two accounts with one BT ID

Has anyone been migrated to BT Mail that have two separate BT Accounts associated with just the one BT ID ?
Is this allowed under the new regime or if not what changes had to be made.

If you mean two or more BT mail accounts associated with one BT ID, then yes.
Though you can also separate one or more of your BT mail sub accounts to a completely different/new BT ID as well.
It's one of the options when you signed in for the first time once you were migrated to the BT mail system.
What's the problem you are having?
If you mean two different BT Retail (Consumer) accounts, ie with two different account numbers, then I'm not sure you can associate them with one BT ID account. However I could be wrong.

How to share files between two accounts on the same Macbook Pro???

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Macbook Pro and have created two accounts, one for me and one for my wife.
I have all the itunes music on my account and my wife wants to load some of the songs nto her Itunes on her account but I don't want to start copying files into the "shared folder" in the "users folder" which will obviously take up more room on my hard drive.
I have noticed that I can see my folders when she is logged in but the ones that she needs to access (like the music folder) have a red dot on them and when you double click on them it brings up the message "the folder "music" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient privileges".
Can anyone help me with these problems?
Please help me!!!

Hi, remember to set the ownership & permissions for files/folders if you want to be able to amend files or change them from both accounts. If a file is created in one account. it may only be viewed in the other account. but if you change the ownership & permissions from "read only" to "read and write" then files can be amended from both accounts. To get the info, simply click once on the folder or file then command-i to get the file/folders info. you can change things there. Permissions can only be change from the account the file/folder was created in.

Sharing iTunes library between two accounts on a single iMac

My wife and I are using the same iMac but through 2 separate accounts, which is quite neat to separate files, preferences, etc.
We have 'ripped' our home CD collection into the iTunes library of my account, and I am now looking for a way for my wife to belisten to the same music on the same computer from her own account.
I have tried the 'Share' functionality in iTunes, but this seems to open access to the library to other iMacs on the networkd, which we don't need.
Any pointers?

Trasnferring MAIL settings between User accounts

I have 2 user accounts on my Powerbook, PERSONAL and WORK.
I use Mail in my personal account, but would like to transfer the settings and the messages into the work account to avoid switching the accounts just to check the delivery of mail.
How can I transfer the account settings and the messages?
Patrick

Patrick,
As you have framed the question, I don't think this can be done. While you can always "clone" an entire Mail setup, you can add a setup to one existing quite so easily.
I think you will need to set the personal account up, and then Import your account folder mailboxes in the Work User account. The import can run into permission problems, unless you copy first to an external drive, the Shared folder or a CD or DVD. Once you import the personal account Inbox and Sent, let's say, then you can transfer their message content into those mailboxes that resulted when you set up the account in the Work User account.
In any User folder the Mail folder is located at ~/Library, and in this Mail folder you will find one account folder for each account you have.
Ask any questions, as needed.
Ernie
