Removing 2nd account from iPhoto?

Using Lion and my wife and I each have access to iPhoto, I believe through a shared file. Any changes made by one are viewed by the other.
Rather than having 2 copies of iPhoto, which sometimes causes permission issues, we would like to remove iPhoto from her account and leave on mine which is the main computer.Is someone able to assist in getting this done?
Thanks!

Do you want to merge the two Libraries? To do this you'll need the paid version ($20) of
iPhoto Library Manager
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.

iPhoto preferences ==> accounts -- remove the email account there
LN

I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.

How to remove a folder from iphoto?

hi, i imported all my picture folders to iphoto and now trying to remove a folder from iphoto, just don't wanna see it there but i still want it in the system.
any ideas?
thanks,
tk

Ok, I am new too mac, so learning all this too but here is what i found to delete a folder out of iPhoto but not delete it from your HD.
My scenerio. I importated all my pictures from the "Pictures" in the "Favorites" within Finder. Unfortanutely, there were some iChat icons within the picture folder that i didn't want in iPhoto. What i found was that when i delete the pictures from iPhoto that they do not get deleted from the location on the mac hard drive...yipee!!! Here are some more details for deleting the folder but not deleting them from their location.
Selet the "Photos" in the left panel of iPhoto...select the folder but not on the name, this will highlight all the photos, then open the folder and drag all the photos to the trash...empty the trash on the iphoto application...the folders will be moved to the mac trash...empty the mac trash to just clean up your mac trash if you want. You can check the original location of your imported folder to make sure the pictures are still on the HD before empting the mac trash...my guess is they are.
Hope this helps,

What problem may arise if we remove "system" account from ACL on files & folders

hi friends
as wee see, in the ACL of all files & folders ,the account called "system" exist & usually has full permission.
what is the usage or benefit of this here ? if we remove system from here, which problems may occur? if possible please give me some examples.
thanks in advance

Hi,
We have an old article for explaining this question:
How the System account is used in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/120929/en-us
The system account and the administrator account (Administrators group) have the same file privileges, but they have different functions. The system account is used by the operating system and by services that run under Windows.
There are many services and processes within Windows that need the capability to log on internally (for example during a Windows installation).
The system account was designed for that purpose; it is an internal account, does not show up in User Manager, cannot be added to any groups, and cannot have user rights assigned to it. On the other hand, the system account does show up on
an NTFS volume in File Manager in the Permissions portion of the Security menu. By default, the system account is granted full control to all files on an NTFS volume. Here the system account has the same functional privileges as the administrator account.
NOTE: Granting either account Administrators group file permissions does not implicitly give permission to the system account. The system account's permissions can be removed from a file but it is not recommended.
On shared folders if there is no system file stored inside, you can remove SYSTEM account from NTFS permission.

How do I remove an account from app store

I would like to remove an account on my macpro. When I set up my mac I used my apple ID. I then gave the mac to my son and he is using his apple id. Whenever he needs to update a mac app like iphoto it asks for my apple id. I would like to remove my id for help so he does not always need to come to me.
Thank you

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The issue is that if these iLife apps came bundled on the Mac and your Mac did not come with install DVDs, then these apps have been accepted into your Mac App Store account. The only way to change this is to call Apple Care and as per Hacks previous posts, request to be transferred to the Account Support Team and request that they release the Mac and bundled apps from your account's Apple ID.

E72: Removing Email account from a restore and lar...

I removed all my push mail accounts and went manual because my battery life is longer that way. I also purged my account from email.nokia.com. Recently, my IMAP mail from google stop working. I thought it was because of some corrupted data in the phone, so I tried removing and recreating the mailbox numerous times, reboot and all but nothing works. It simply doesn't get mails past a certain date/time.
I did a hard reset, shift+space+backspace+poweron and re-setup everything. I still encountered the same problem on my E72. So I did a restore using the Ovi application. Nightmare begins.
I restored the 'push mail' accounts which no longer exist because I have previously removed them from email.nokia.com. Now when I try to remove the mailbox, it says 'you need to connect to xx to remove it.' Obviously I cannot connect because that account no longer exists. And the 2 mailboxes spam me with prompts for passwords and neither can log on. I had to hard-reset again and setup everything from scratch thanks to this stupid problem.
I eventually traced the problem to 2 emails which are exceptionally long. People just reply and reply and reply until the mail became about 20 pages long. Let's say I have 30 mails in my gmail 1-30. Mail 10 and 15 are the long ones. If I sync, it will only retrieve 1-9, then get stuck there. If I go to gmail to delete 10, it will sync until 14 then get stuck there. When it is 'stuck', it just connects and disconnects right away, without attempting to retrieve my mail 16-30.
I tried again using pushmail. Push mail works with that large mail 15 probabaly because it is retrieved server-side.
Please advise. How to solve these issues? It is quite frustrating... I don't want to use google's gmail application because you can't save attachments with that. And PDFs all become text files in gmail app's viewer.

Open Mail on the old laptop and in the Accounts section of its preferences click on your email account and then on the "-" button at the bottom. Then go into the User/Library folder and delete the Mail folder to remove all the old emails.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I remove email account from an iphone but leave it on another?

Hi
Can anyone advise me if I delete an email account from one iPhone will it still be available on another iPhone. I've upgraded my phone but am giving my old iPhone to my husband but want to remove as many emails to save on memory for him, but when I delete from the old iPhone, the same emails are deleted from my new iPhone.
I have seen that the account can be deleted, but don't want to delete it without knowing whether it will leave the account still on my new iPhone.
Has anyone had experience of this, and can you advise me what I need to do?
Many thanks

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I just didn't want to select "delete" without checking it out first...
I'll give it a go later.

How do I remove a account from the Chart Of Accounts oChartOfAccounts

Hi,
I would like to be able to remove a number accounts from the Chart Of Accounts table.
I see in the help file for the SDK that the Remove() method of the ChartOfAccounts object is Not Supported and I do indeed get an exception when I call it (Object does not support this method or method not implemented).
Is there another way to remove accounts from the SDK? I am using the SAP Business One DI API Version 8.8 SDK.
Regards

Hello,
based on help, it is really not supported. You can remove via GUI (SAP B1 Client).

Removing old photos from iPhoto to external HD but not the library

Hi I have just purchased a new external HD. I already have one which is used with Time Machine for backing up my mac. My problem is the mac HD is not that big and my extrenal with time machine is also getting full and after reading around I discovered that it will start to erase old backups to replace with new ones. My problem with this is that I have used Time MAchine as a way of storing home movies and films exteranally as they take up to much space and therefore are no longer on the mac itself. I bought a new disk so that rather than being a backup i can simply store files there and when needed plug it in if i want to use them ie videos old photos etc.
I currently have smart albums set up in iPhoto for each year so photos automatically drop into these depending on when they were taken.
I would like to move the older albums straight to an external and delete from my mac. How do I go about this as deleting the smart folder wont delete the originals and can I drag a smart folder to an external drive? If not how do I find photos taken by year move them across to the external and delete the original.
Thanks

Hello there MrCoates14,
You are correct, deleting the photos from the Smart Album will not remove the originals from the computer, and based on what else you want to do with iPhoto, heres what I recommend.
First you can export the photos in the Smart Album to an external drive, as outlined in this article iPhoto '11: Export a photo found here http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2438. Note: At step 1, you want to highlight ALL the photos in the album, not just 1.
To export photos:
Select the photo or photos you want to export.
Choose File > Export.
At the top of the Export Photos window, click the File Export button.
To specify the file type for the exported photo, choose an option from the Kind pop-up menu:Original: Exports the photo as it was originally imported into iPhoto, before editing.Current: Exports the photo in its current format. If you imported a RAW-format photo and then edited it in iPhoto, the photo is exported as a JPEG file.JPEG: If you choose this format, choose an option from the JPEG Quality pop-up menu. The higher the quality, the bigger the photo. For example, if the photo will be used on a website where optimal quality for printing isn’t required, you could choose Low to save storage space on the website.TIFF: A lossless file format that works well for transferring photos between computers and applications.PNG: Another lossless file format popular for web images.
To change the size (resolution), choose an option from the Size pop-up menu:
For photos to be emailed or mainly viewed onscreen, these settings compress the photos (making them smaller):
Small: Use for photos you email or publish to websites where you don’t expect anyone to download and print your photos.
Medium: Use when you or your recipients have a reasonably fast Internet connection, such as DSL. This setting is not suitable for making prints.
Large: Use this setting when you and your recipients have a very fast connection. This size can be used to print small to standard-size photos (2 by 3, 3 by 5, and 4 by 6 inches).
For photos to be printed or published for download, these settings provide maximum detail for final prints:
Optimized: Use for larger prints and for publishing photos to websites for others to download and print. With this setting, photos are slightly compressed to a smaller file size so that they download faster without compromising quality.
Actual Size/Full Size: Use to make high-quality prints in small to large sizes, or to upload photos to websites so that others can download and print them. This setting matches the actual size of your photo, so it may take longer to upload or download.
Specify your other options:Include checkboxes: If you choose JPEG or TIFF from the Kind pop-up menu, you can include titles, keywords, and location information with the exported photos by selecting the checkboxes.File Name: Choose whether to export photos in sequence, or by their filenames, iPhoto titles, or album name.Prefix for sequential: If you choose Sequential from the File Name pop-up menu, you can specify text to appear before each number (for example, Birthday01, Birthday02, and so on). This step is optional.
Click Export.
Choose where to save the exported photo files, and then click OK.
Then when they are all exported you can Create a New Event from the photos in each album to group them all together in Events, so that when you delete the new event with all the photos in the album in it, they will be deleted from the library. Here is the article for that named iPhoto '11: Create a new Event found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2364.
You also have the option to iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location if you just want to move the entire library to the external drive and use the library from the drive directly: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
Cheers,
Sterling

HT201493 I can't remove some accounts from "Find My Friends" app.

I want to remove one of my friend's account from my "Find My Friends" app, but the app keeps telling me it's under the maintenance. I've tried removing since last month, and I thought iOS6 as well as updated app can fix me this. Unluckily it's not.
Any solutions?

Hi kmarm,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest deleting the app from your iPhone and redownloading it:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
