Not finding library from shared folder across user accounts

Hello all knowledgeable people. Hopefully one of you will tell me what I am doing wrong.
I recently moved my iTunes Media Folder to a Time Capsule. In iTunes (10.0.1) on the user account where the collection was and subsequently moved, I can see, listen & watch all iTunes media. However when I added two other user accounts to my iMac (OS X 10.6.4) I can not get either user account to attach themselves to the iTunes library. I have changed the prefs and to tell it the collection is on the Time Capsule, and yes it is connecting with the username and password saved.
Any ideas on remedying this will be very welcome
Many Thanks
Tim

I've sorted it

Share files from the Library/Application Support folder between user accounts?

I am using Mac OS 10.10.2, and am having trouble with allowing my son's user account to see his Minecraft files which are on my user account (User/Library/Application Support/Minecraft) how do I make it so that Minecraft will find and use these files rather than the empty folder on his own user account?
thanks!

Thank you! I should have thought of that. So, what I actually did was go into finder, "get info" on the Minecraft folder, and check the "share folder" box in the info window. I was then able to open his saved worlds on his account, and doing it this way will mean any changes to them can be accessed from my account as well.
Thanks again!

Sharing media across user accounts on the same iMac

My partner and use the same iMac but we have to different user logins. We are often at the same events and like to use the clips, photos or footage taken by the other in our iMovie projects. Is there an easy way to access those media files while working in iMovie?
We both set our movie and photo folders to allow sharing but this doesn't seem to allow access when we try to import footage from one of those folders.
Of course we could always drag and drop files to the Public folder but that seems like a way to loose files or become very unorganized.

Hello everyone
I would be interested in doing the same thing: let iMovie 8 store its media in the shared drive. Like that my wife and I (with two different logins) would have access to the same media and events.
As iMovie 8 doesn't let me chose where to store my media, I have copied the folder iMovie Events and iMove Project into the shared folder, then making aliases which I put in the account's place where the original folders were. Doesn't seem to work.
Any other suggestions?

Unable to have same library from two different windows user accounts

I recently spent about a week organizing and getting info correct on all my "millions" of songs. All of my music is in my itunes music folder, and organized.
I went over to my wife's windows user profile, and on itunes the library was incomplete. so i used the "add folder to library" function, to update her library to include all of the songs in the itunes music folder. It worked fine. but when i went back to my windows user profile, i got the "original file could not be found" message, on the majority of my songs. as a quick fix I deleted my library and used the "add folder to library" function, to update.
now I get the "original file could not be found" message on her library.
the files don't move, the just are not recognized by itunes on more than one "side" of windows.
it goes back and forth like this.
how can i get itunes on both windows user profiles linked to the same library, or pointed in the same place?
thanks for the help

If I understand correctly, your library file is the good one.
The default path in XP is
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Try this article about multiple libraries, and see if you can open your library in her account:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.6/en/15502.html
You will need to brwose to the path in your account. She needs enough windows privileges to read/write it.
She'll need full access if you're on Vista, and it will be a sightly different path.

Windows 2008 : How to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder

Hello All,
I need to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder. Please let me know is there any method to achieve this requirement.

If user have Read permission, they can copy it. So actually you cannot restrict user from copy your files if they could read/edit.
Some programs could help restrict users from edit/modify/copy the content of their files such as Office files, PDF files etc as Oscar said above.

HT201302 How do I delete a photo from my camera roll and not delete it from a folder

When I delete photos from my camera roll, it also deletes them from the folder I've saved them in. How do I delete from the camera roll and not lose them from the folder?

"When I delete photos from my camera roll, it also deletes them from the folder I've saved them in. "
Correct. There is only one photo and it is in the camera roll. The folders you create are just a way to organize the pics. it does not create a duplicate pic.
Just as a song is in your library and a playlist, a pic is in the camera roll and the folder.
If you delete a song from the library, then it is gone. The same is true of pics.

Can not find library error

Hi,
Forms 9.0.4.0.19
I put FORMS_PATH in default.env file to point to all the plls.
When opening a pll I am getting
PDE-PLI018 Could not find library FNDSQF
Just in case I also created env var FORMS_PATH to point to the same place. Doesn't work either.What am I missing?
Thank you
Anatoliy

Thanks so much, Andreas, this was it.
I thought may be you help me with the next error tjhat I am getting now - PDE-PEP006 Encoded Program Unit has an unknown format.
The thing is that the custom.pll that I need to make a change to was last developed with Developer 10G Forms Builder 10.1.2 (as I was told).
I downloaded Developer 10G from OTN last week, installed, but the forms builder version there is 9.0.4.
So I guess that may be a problem, I wonder I can get the right one on if there is any workaround.
Regards,
Anatoliy

Installed BC InfoObject 'X' - Can not find it from RSA1, but from RSD1

Hi all,
    I have installed the Business Content InfoObject 0ME_REVO_PA. I could find this InfoObject from RSD1 and it is active. I could see it in Business Content section also with Active status, but I can not find it from RSA1 under InfoObjects section. I have to find under which InfoObject Catalog it has been created.
    What could be the problem, please ?
   Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi Bhanu,
   As per Edwin Harpino's suggestion, ran function module (se37) RSDG_IOBC_REORG
with following Import parameter :
I_OBJVERS A
I_PROGRESS
I_IOBJTP *
I_ALL_IOBJ X
I_T_IOBJNM 0 entries
I_BYPASS_BUFFER
   Now, I could see it in RSA1 also.
Thanks.

Best way to manage media (photos/music/videos) across user accounts in Lion?

Yesterday I clean installed Lion. I copied only that what I need from my TimeMachine backup. The apps were reinstalled as well. Now, I've set up iPhoto to link to my library in the Users>shared folder so that its available across all user accounts shared with my family members. Same is the case with iTunes library. But with integration with iCloud and @me.com or @mac.com accounts, I'm not sure how each one of us can have out own accounts configured in these libraries while they are shared. Keeping this in mind, what is the best way to share music, videos and photos across user accounts and yet have the apps... iTunes, iPhoto, etc, know our individual settings in out respective user accounts?
For iTunes should I just create a referenced library? Will that let me sync my photos and videos to my iPhone 4? If so, how?
For iPhoto I guess i''ll have to create separate libraries for each user account and then have one common for our shared photos. But thats just plain complicated for users who aren't tech savvy in my family.
Please advice before I create a mess with my media again!

Thanks for the idea, but that strategy introduces problems of its own. Now I have two iPods (a 5G and a touch) that sync with one library and an iPhone that syncs with another. This makes my life workable on the road, but at home, it means I have to change iTunes libraries when I sync different devices. It also means that, when I download new content, if I want to take it with me on my MBP, I have to synchronize it between two libraries. That sounds like an ugly situation.

How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?

How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?...without having to manually do something every download?

Pardon me, I am brand new at using an iMac. I understand the concept but I don't know exactly how to "move" the library. I found a shared folder under users on the hard drive. If I move it, won't I have to redirect each iTunes user to the new shared location?
If I point iTunes to anything other than the music folder under that user name, it shows as a "shared library". Preferences still shows it as that users library, regardless of where the advanced gear button says it is pointing to.
Am I asking for too much to have each user control the exact same music files, apps and playlists? I just want the two different itunes sessions to mirror each other without any frequent updating or copying.
We use the same id for itunes music and apps so we could just sync all devices under one iMac user id and not use it under hers.

Basic File Sharing question between user accounts on my iMac

I don't understand how to be able to share and download to one common folder among User Accounts on my iMac. I am trying to use a Clean Account as a test, and wanted to copy a file I downloaded from the web in one account into this clean account folder, and install the file.
I went to Sharing and thought I turn File Sharing on. Logged into the Clean account and Apple+I the folder, changing access priviledges to the folder. Then copy the file into the Clean User Account.
But it doesn't work that way. Can anyone help me understand sharing between accounts?

File Sharing is for sharing files between two different machines, not between different accounts on the same machine. If you want to share files on one machine, you just need to put them in a folder everyone has access to, like the /Users/shared folder. Also, don't go fooling around with folder permissions... that's a good way to mess things up. If I had a nickel for every time someone messed up their system using the "Apply to enclosed items" option when changing permissions, I'd be a rich man!

TS3981 After migration files are now shared between two user accounts. How can I combine them into one account?

After migration, from PC, files are now shared between two user accounts.I have to switch users to access files. How can I combine them into one account?

See Pondini's Transferring files from one User Account to another, for starters

TS1717 Itunes will not open, it just brings up a user account window which if ok alters shortcuts?

Itunes will not open, it just brings up a user account window which if ok alters shortcuts?

I have followed instructions found elsewhere to do the following:
•“C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove (Note: delete the quotes displayed here and type again using keyboard)
•Navigate to the following folder in Windows Explorer: C:\Program Files\Bonjour
•Rename the mdnsNSP.dll file in that folder to mdnsNSP.old
•Restart your computer
•Delete the the Program Files\Bonjour folder
All successful, now there is nothing that has anything to do with iTunes , Quictime, Apple Software Update, Bonjuor,...etc on my machine, now what do I install so I can get iTunes to work on Win 7 x 64 bit edition... ?
Thanks,
Rick
