Need help with iphoto 8 and two users on same computer

Let's me start by stating I'm brand new to Mac. My wife is putting all our photo's under her user name, but when I open my iphoto program I don't see the same photos. I thought I set up my iphoto to share from hers but I've obviously done something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are two ways to share, depending on what you mean by 'share'.
If you want to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter the library, then enable Sharing in your wife's iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open your account. In your account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Her Library will appear in her source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
IF you want to have the same access to the library: 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.

Need help with iphoto and dragging to external hard drive

Hello,
I have my iphoto very organized into Events and I recently just moved them to be in folders. I would like to have only certain Events (or folders/albums) on the external hard drive. The apple store rep said to go to Finder, Pictures, Iphoto, then right click to "Show Package Contents." Then go to either "original" or "modified." From there I can drag into the hard drive. However, I'm very confused because the "modified" or "original" are not organized at all by folders or events. There are dates only. What can I do to find, drag the events (each are named)? Please help!
Katie

1. Ignore the Apple store rep.
2. You need to clarify:
I have my iphoto very organized into Events and I recently just moved them to be in folders
Moved them to be where in folder? In iPhoto? In the FInder?
I would like to have only certain Events (or folders/albums) on the external hard drive.
In an iPhoto Library? Or in the Finder?
Do not access the Library via the Finder or any other app. You risk damaging your Library and you will lose data.
If you want to have some Events/Albums on an External Disk within iPhoto:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
If you want to have them in Folders in the Finder
Use the FIle > Export command to get photos out of iPhoto.

Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

Need help with rebuilding and iPhoto folder

I'm new to this Apple support thing, but sort of desperate. I was an idiot and renamed some photographs in the iPhoto folder that is accessed from Finder.
**(side note: it would be nice if there was something with iPhoto that informed users this is a bad idea. I didn't like the number format used in the iPhoto finder folder, and found it hard to find anything when trying to upload something to the internet, so I tried to change this- using actual iPhoto first, which didn't work- and have now discovered the consequences the hard way.)
All of my photographs are backed up to an external hard drive, but unfortunately they are all still goofed up, as well. (I can open them in Preview, but not in iPhoto). I've gone through rebuild, which didn't work, and am now trying something suggested here, which is to rename the folder "iPhoto Library_old" and then create a new library. This is working to an extent. When I am done, a window pops up telling me that I have unreadable files and that "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
I have definitely learned from this and will never touch the folder in the future, but if anyone has any idea of how to fix this problem, I would be incredibly grateful.

That is an incredibly helpful suggestion; thank you very much! I think the unreadable files are actually thumbnails. Another post explained that iPhoto doesn't re-import thumbnails from an old library because it creates its own.
Just one last quick question- when I've uploaded pictures from my "iPhoto Library_old" folder, for each roll there are the regular pictures and identical ones (unless they've been cropped, turned, etc.) called originals, presumably because they look like the original photo did. Can I delete these originals without hurting my library?
Thank you so much for your help!

What's the problem you're having ???

Need help with trim and null function

Hi all,
I need help with a query. I use the trim function to get the first three characters of a string. How do I write my query so if a null value occurs in combination with my trim to say 'Null' in my results?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. What am I doing wrong?
SELECT trim(SUBSTR(AL1.user_data_text,1,3)),NVL
(AL1.user_data_text,'XX')
FROM Table
I want the XX to appear in the same column as the
trim.The main thing you're doing wrong is not formatting your code. The solution may become obvious if you do.
What you're saying is:
SELECT trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
,       NVL ( AL1.user_data_text, 'XX' )
FROM    Tablewhich makes it clear that you're SELECTing two columns, when you only want to have one.
If you want that column to be exactly like the first column you're currently SELECTing, except that when that column is NULL you want it to be 'XX', then you have to apply NVL to that column, like this:
SELECT NVL ( trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
            , 'XX'
FROM    Table

Two users on same computer how to use the same program and data

Two users on one computer how to share a program and it's data

As Kappy said, each of you should have your own account. By default all programs are installed in the Applications folder so all users on the computer will be able to use the software. With a few restrictions data you want to share between two users can be placed inside the Shared folder - look inside the Users folder for it. Data that gets placed in the Shared folder will retain the owner/creator's rights so if you want other user(s) to be able to do more than open the document you'll need to change the permissions of the file to include that user.

Problem running iTunes for two users on same computer, one works fine, the other keeps locking up and shutting down iTunes

I have two users on one computer. I have iTunes set up for both users. For one user (mine) iTunes works just fine. For the other user (my wife), Itunes opens up but then locks up and shuts off. Any suggestions? Thanks

How do I share my iPhotos w/other Users on SAME computer?

I give up! I've looked at Help and everywhere. Tried (Share/)Exporting to other users but it doesn't seem to work. What am I not doing? Help!
THANKS.

Hi sherman,
Here are all the links I have for sharing your iPhoto Library.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.
Sharing links from Apple....

About shared photos
Turning off photo sharing
Looking for shared photos
SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.
if you need more help with one of the methods, post back and tell me exactly what you tried (all the steps) and what happens or doesn't happen when you try to share your library.

Need help with deleting and resetting admin user

I have a problem with the admin user on my computer. Here's the background: My computer started making popping noises. I found that the popping stopped when I switched to a different user account. I have repaired permissions and reset the PRAM, but this did not fix the problem.
Can I fix this user problem by deleting some or all preference files, or by some other means?
Or...how do I set up a new admin that has all my old settings and files from my original admin? I have never done this before and am very nervous. I have charged ahead to fix things before and then discovered that I erased important files! so I am going to be patient (sort of) this time.
I have a backup of the drive that my user data is on, as well as a clone of it for booting.
Any suggestions on ways to make this less painful are appreciated.
Nathan

Nathan:
Here is what I suggest:
1. Create an admin account that will be strictly an admin account. i.e. you won't be using it for anything else but to administer your computer. Here's how:
Go to the Apple Menu, System Preferences, and open up the Accounts panel. Click the to add an account, and check the box to let that user "Administer this computer." You are temporarily creating a second admin account. Be sure you give it a good password and that you remember it! Now, log out. Don't just do a fast user switch. Log out completely, then log into the new admin account you just created. Go back to System Preferences, Accounts, and find your original user. Uncheck the box for that account that allows it to administer the computer. You've now changed your regular account into a Standard account and you've created a new admin account that you'll hardly ever use. That's the point: only use the admin account when you absolutely need to.
Log out of the new Admin Account and into your former Admin Account, now Standard account. Check your access to the folders in your account. If you get notes telling you that you do not have sufficient privileges that can be corrected.
Post back and let me know.
Good luck

Need help restoring iphoto and iphoto library

Hi, I have been trying for over a year to restore my iphoto library which was lost when my hard drive died. Since I often go months between attempts, I kind of forget what we have already tried. I think we have tried rebuilding it as suggested in other posts. When we have done this, I think we have ended up with about 6 copies because when we search in spotlight, it says we have 19,196 jpgs!
When the hard drive died we had about 3000 photos. I believe all of them are still there in the mom and dad user, and they seem to be undistorted-yeah! However, when I click on the iphoto icon, I only get the task bar, no window opens up, and almost all the options are gray.
So basically, if I want to find a photo, I have to go through a long path, locate the thumbnail, drag it to the desktop and then I can use it.
I have read many of the similar posts, but I was still unsure what to try first in my situation. I imagine I need to get rid of about 16,000 copies of my original photos before I do anything else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to make a family album, and I really need those photos!
Thank you all in advance. This is a wonderfully suportive community.
I don't know what version of iphoto I am running (or was running?), but I think it is an older one, since my g4 is several years old, and I don't think I ever purchased ilife. If someone can tell me how to check, I will provide the info.

Hi, thanks again for your reply.
I looked through some of the jpgs from spotlight, and I found at least 1000 that weren't photos, just some weird random stuff I didn't recognize.
Yes, the rebuild did work for awhile, but then it was gone again. It doesn't seem like it lasted very long. Also, I had the same problems others described with all the albums lost, and it seems like there were some photos I thought were lost as well. Like I said, I go months between my attempts to do this because it is so time consuming, so that is why I can't remember all the details.
Anyway, I thought that when I had it restored for a short time that I had backed up my photos, but now I can't find the disks, so maybe I never got around to it. You can bet I will be doing it this time!
For the sake of my book I am trying to get done for Christmas, would it be bad to just search through my jpgs, make a folder of some of them on the desktop, and then import them to shutterfly?
Also, I am wondering if buying the new ilife w/iphoto 8 would be a good idea right now or if it would just make a bigger mess of things? Would it have any way to search for my photos?
Sorry for all the questions. Hopefully if there is a solution, I will be able to get there soon.

Need help with iPhoto, Need help with iPhoto

Hey there!!!
When I plug in my iPhone I go to iPhoto and can choose to import the pictures. I also tried Image Capture as it seemed easier to organise my pictures, making folders, sub-folders, etc. The problem with this is everytime I plug my iPhone into the computer click on Import the system automatically makes second, third, fourth, etc copies of each picture. This also means that there is a copy of my pictures on iPhoto and on Image Capture - which I do not really need.
I have tried to make Albums and Folders on iPhoto. Sometimes when I delete a picture as it has been saved in two albums it gets deleted from both albums. Why is this? How can I make Albums or Folders to organise my pictures. If my pictures are transferred directly onto iPhoto, can I find them anywhere else in my computer? If I wanted to burn pictures from various albums on a disc how could I do that on iPhoto? Also I dont want events to create themselves. How can I avoid this?
I would like help with either using iPhoto or know how the stop the duplicating of pictures on Image Capture.
Maybe there is a better way I can transfer the pictures onto my MacBook??
Thanks a mil!!!

Are you running a "referenced" or "managed' library?
Image Capture does not store phortos in it. It's an application for uploading photos to wherever you tell it to, either a folder on the hard drive or into iPhoto. If you want to use only Image Capture to upload your photos to iPhoto then set iPhoto's General preferences to the following:
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurances of that photo in the library.

Need help with links and fill color

Hi all, I just recently discovered liveCycle and am very impressed with it! I have been trying to make myself a homework calendar for a while now, and I have it done mostly, but there are a few more things I'd like to add that I don't know how to do.
I have some HTML and Java experience, but very little XML or JavaScript experience. I have a feeling that what I am trying to do is relatively simple, but I just can't figure it out! I have spent hours pouring over Google and the help files, and I feel like I have gotten close, but no joy yet.
I have attached my calendar so far (truncated to fit 5MB max attachment size). I'd like it to do two more things:
1. Have the background color of the table cells change from white to green when the check box is checked.
(Alternately, I'd really like to get rid of the check boxes all thogether and just have the background of the table cells turn green with a keyboard shortcut, like "ctrl + D" for 'done'. But if that isn't possible, then the color change with the check box is fine.)
2. I'd like the button called 'WORD DOC' in the upper right of the form to open a word document on my local computer. Where I just push that button and a work doc opens right up in Word in another window.
I was able to get .PDF documents to open up with those other two buttons there ('Big Java' and 'Beginning Java II') by adding the script
app.openDoc("Big Java.pdf");
and
app.openDoc("Beginning Java II.pdf");
to each of the buttons respectively, but those PDFs need to be in the same folder as the calendar for that to work. I tried just altering that script by replacing the name of the PDF file with the name of a Word doc file like this:
app.openDoc("test.docx");
but the button doesn’t work at all, it just does nothing.
So that’s what I am trying to do. I have spent hours messing around with anything I could think of to get this to work, but unfortunately I just don’t know the language well enough to get it to work.
I would really appreciate any advice on this at all. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Hi,
Thanks very much for your response! I was able to use the code to make the box turn green by adding that script to the 'click' event of textbox and changing the language from FormCalc to JavaScript. So what happened was that when I clicked in the textbox, the color turned green.
I couln't firgure out how to add it to the checkbox though. When I tried, it didn't do anything. The problem now is that when I click in the textbox to add my homework, it turns green. I need it to turn green once I finish my homework.
This would work great if the texbox turned green when I SHIFT clicked the box. Is there anything I could add to that scipt to do that?

Extreme with shared disk and two users on same mac issue

Hi,
just got my airport extreme + a 1TB hard drive for disk sharing and everything worked great until my wife came home (not her fault )
My setup: I have 1 mac which we both share with two user accounts plus I have a Windows 7 machine. I setup the Airport Extreme drive sharing with 'accounts' as I thought/know this will work with Windows (smb I think) which it sure enough did and I could connect to my share from both my Windows machine and my macbook air and was rather pleased how easy it was.
My wife then came home logged on and she could see the drive and even see the root folder in Finder but saw no files whatsoever and instead of the 'sharing icon' (not sure what to call it looks like a hard disk with wifi signals) she gets a circle with a red bar in it in the finder title... so I disconnected the shared disk in finder and reconnected entering the account details again and things worked for her. I then signed into my account and now I had the same issue... I could see disk but see nothing on it which means I have to disconnect and reconnect etc. etc.
I even setup two seperate accounts now in the AirPort Utility for disk sharing and use one for my account and one for my wifes but the issue remains, by the way no issue on the Windows 7 box.
HELP the whole reason why I got this is so we can share our pictures and videos etc. on 2 machines and 2 computers with 2 accounts.

Yes, I'd like a solution to this one as well! Did you ever find the answer?
