Remote: cannot access Library if another user is logged in

hi all
Remote works fine for me, no firewall issues, a great solution! But if someone goes to the computer and switches users, then I cannot connect to the Library. Is it only me? Any ideas for a workaround? My daugther uses the other Mac and it means I still have to go to the iMac and switch users back to mine before I can control the music. Defeats the purpose somewhat...

If its a fresh installation, RDM might not work at first.
1. You need to check firewall and allow Remote Desktop. To be specific, communication to port 3389 TCP
2. Right click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab
Enable Remote Desktop
Allow connections to this computer
Click users and grant the permissions for the users. By default, Administrators do have the permission. An also, the users who are members of the 'Remote Desktop Users' security group also have the permission

  • How can I share the FCPX library so another user on the same iMac can access and edit it?

    I need to let another user access our Library file to add some subtitles to a video I'm editing.
    This is a breeze with iMovie now, as I moved the Library to the Users/Shared folder and changed permissions so the other user can read+write.
    I tried the same with FCPX and then tried to launch FCPX from the other user's profile, but it wouldn't work saying it needs permissions, even though I did the thing with permissions.
    After some playing around, I broke it and had to use that Preference File eraser because the Library stopped working even on my account.
    Is there a way to ensure the library can be accessed by both of us, on the same iMac? (Note: I was logged out while trying to get the second user to work).

    Thanks.
    If it's in the Shared folder, then for whatever reason FCP is busted and won't work?
    Have a 1TB Fusion drive, wouldn't this make editing stuff slower if it's an external drive?

  • Move an iPhoto Library to another user account on the same computer - File Permissions Error

    I am having trouble moving an iPhoto Library from one user to another.   I copied the library to a shared location, then on the same computer I switch to the other user only to find that there is a little red - in a circle on the folder.  I am unable to do anything with the folder.  I have checked the "Get Info" and permission to read and write is selected for all users.  From everything I have read I should be able to just copy the Library to any location I would like and then open the Library on other computers.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Further information: I am running on OSX Lion (10.7.3) with iPhoto 09 (8.1.2).  I have my iPhoto Library working in the account of an admin on the computer. Unfortunately I have redundant users on the computer and want to consolidate everything to the original user on the computer, or the user that set up the computer originally.  This "original" administrator cannot be delete so I am moving everything from user "B" into the "original" administrator on the computer.

    Because I had no idea what I was doing! :-P
    I see now that I needed to move the library into the new user's Pictures folder, not import it.
    My biggest problem was that I couldn't get rid of that dumb red circle. I think this happened because I just moved the user's Picture folder into the Shared folder before adjusting the permissions. Of course, I'm a bit like a kid trying to explain how the rocket got the moon. I could be mistaken...
    Still, here was the work-around that worked for me:
    - go into the user with the iPhoto library ("first") that I wanted to move to another user ("new")
    - right click on the iPhoto library file, located in the in "first" user's Pictures folder
    - unlock the folder and then change the permissions to allow everyone to "Read & Write"
    - copy the iPhoto library into the "Shared" folder
    - copy the iPhoto library into the "new" user's Picture folder
    Because I didn't want two copies of that library, I then deleted it from the "first" user's Pictures folder. I assume iPhoto will just create a new one, which in my case will remain empty because that user doesn't use iPhoto.

  • How do I share iTunes access privileges with another user on my mac?

    My wife and I use the same Mac. I recently created a separate user account for her after upgrading to Mountain Lion (so that we can get full functionality out of the new features). I gave her user account full administrator access as well as read & write sharing ability in certain folders... So why can she not purchase content on iTunes? What is the best way to extend the same iTunes account across different users on the same Mac?

    I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!

    Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
    Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files.  Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile.  When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
    You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users.  However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
    SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

  • Aperture 3 - share library with another user account?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to share the aperture library with my wife (another user account on the same computer).
    I started to give her permissions to the file in <My User>/Pictures/Aperture Library. but it kept having permissions issues. So i changed the library to /Users/Shared and gave both of our users full read write permissions... but i keep having the same permissions error.
    I know that we can't both access the lib at the same time but even though, accessing the same library would be a major breakthrough for us.
    What am i doing wrong??
    Please help

    This is what I did, and I did not get permission errors.
    1. Use Aperture 3.02 to create a new aperture library in the Shared Folder. I called it *Aperture Share.aplibrary*.
    2. I added a few pictures just for fun.
    3. Quit Aperture.
    4. Go to the Finder and set File Privileges to Everyone Read/Write on the *Aperture Share.aplibrary* file.
    5. Using Fast User Switching, switch to another user.
    6. Open Aperture 3.02.
    7. Switch to Library... >>Other/New...>>Other Library...>> . Navigate and select the *Aperture Share.aplibrary*.
    That worked for me without permission problems.
    Another question. Are all your pictures stored in an Aperture Library? If you have any pictures that are just referenced in the Aperture Library, this would most likely lead to permission errors.

  • Sharing an iTunes library with another user

    My wife and I both got iPad2's recently.   I would like to add some of my photos from iphoto and some of my music from iTunes to her iPad.
    I have one iTunes account.   I have built it over the years and it recognizes my iPhone and my iPad. 
    Can she sync content (photos, music, movies) from my iTunes account on to her iPad?
    I am really confused about how iTunes deals with multiple users on the same iTunes library.
    Hopefully this is enough information for someone to give me an iTunes 101 lesson on multiple users (with different Apple ID's) and sharing of one iTunes library, and syncing photos, movies, etc.... with each user's devices.
    Both my wife and I are in the cloud, but we really haven't done anything for her to access content in the cloud.  I am fully set up for the cloud with my iMac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV2.
    Appreciate any help offered or references to help me understand the link between one iTunes library and multiple users.

  • How can i share my iphoto 11 library with another user on the same mac?

    hi
    i recently added a new user account for my wife on my macbook pro. now we want to share the existing iphoto 11 library, which is on my account, with the new user account. i'm using os x lion.
    many thanks!

    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.

  • IMovie cannot access library without location services - Why?

    So this is the error message I get when trying to use iMovie for iPhone - "iMovie cannot access your photos or videos" "To enable access, open the settings app, tap General, then tap Location Services and then set the iMovie switch to 'On'." (pic - http://twitpic.com/2269ze ).The question is "Why?" What if I don't want my videos to include geo location data? Why does iMovie need location services to start a project? It doest make any sense to me. I understand that some of the themes may have features for using location data, but shouldn't that be at the users discretion?

    I find this rather odd as well. I keep location services turned off for the camera so why iMovie would need to access data that isn't there is beyond me. I think it's just poor programing on Apple's part. It would be just as easy to ignore any location data if you have that turned off and you happen to pick a picture or video that has it embedded.

  • When I tried to log into to itunes today, I got a message that states "cannot access library because it was saved in a newer version." I cannot figure out how to access itunes or restore it.

    I tried opening itunes today and got the message that I cannot access itunes because it was saved in a newer version.I have been using itunes for 10 years and never gotten this. I cannot restore an earlier version...any suggestions?

    Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • TS2972 AppleTV cannot access library

    After following the Apple Support kbase article, I still cannot see my music on my AppleTV.  I have upgraded to Lion on my iMac, moved my music to my internal hard drive, reset the Airport Extreme and restarted my AppleTV.  My Firewall is off, my iTunes software is updated and restarted. Nothing changes.  My AppleTV cannot access my iTunes library.

    No, I am just getting a blank itunes library,

  • Cannot access library folder

    I saved a file accidently in my outlook temporary file.  I cannot access my library file, get:
    The folder “Library” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.

    I didn't know that iTunes had a 64bit download. I have Windows 7 Home Premium with 64bit operation system. I downloaded the iTunes for 64bit and it seems to have corrected the problem. I haven't received the message yet since I did this.
