Shared Photo & Music Libraries for Multiple Users on Same Machine

I've setup multiple users on a single machine and I'm trying to have a common shared folder for photos (w/ Adobe PSE) and music (w/ iTunes). First, on photos:
-Tried setting up a folder on /users/shared/pictures. How can I "share" the main folder and have permissions carry down to all subfolders and files?
-I've given the other user permission, but when logged on, Finder window only displays icon, not preview of image? In cover flow mode, image shows up, though?
-Is this the best approach or is /me/public the better way or /me/pictures (shared) a better way?
And then on music:
-recommendations on best approach to have a single library with multiple users and multiple iTunes accounts.
Thanks in advance

The iTunes sharing is for sharing music between computers on a network.

  • How to restrict login for multiple users having same Role

    Our Web Application is deployed on Tomcat 5.5
    The requirement is ?
    There are roles in application like "operator", "admin"?
    There are multiple users created for each of the above role.
    When one user of "operator" role is logged in, then
    It should not allow to login for another user of "operator" role.
    Also, if user did not log out & application gets close, then
    It should not allow to login for another user of "operator" role.
    Also, it should not allow to login for multiple requests of same user
    (using another browser instance...)
    Is it possible using session object?
    But, using session object, it will create separate objects for different users,
    So here I will not be able to restrict session object creation rolewise.
    Also, how to retrieve these multiple session objects created for different users on server?
    If anyone is having the solution please reply as soon as possible,
    Thank you.

    To tell you the truth, this is a stupid requirement. It must be an extremely fragile application.
    In any case, you will have to write your stuff for that. Probably a filter that on login, logout, and session expiration checks, makes, or removes entries in a DB (using a synchronized resource to prevent race conditions) or possibly even simply in an application context object.

  • Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

    I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
    This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
    How can this be achieved?

    Tyr to do like this,
    1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
    2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
    3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
    4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
    5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing  assign the multiline container element name in the   for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
    &COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]&   -------->     &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
    Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

  • Shared Photo Streams - uploads from multiple users?

    Hi all,
    Quick question regarding the new Shared Photo Stream feature in iOS 6 and OS X 10.8.2 on iPhoto. You can invite others to be a part of your shared Photo Stream, but if this just so they can view the photos you put in there? I was wondering if others could add their photos in there too, or would they need to set up their own Shared Photo Stream? I'm fairly sure this isn't possible yet but just wanted to check.
    Thanks in advance!

    They can only comment on your photos, they can't add to them.  They would have to set up their own shared photo stream.

  • Home sharing to Apple TV with multiple users on same computer

    I have two different users on the same computer.  To facilitate sharing their music and movies to eachother, they are each using Home Sharing with the same Apple ID.  As long as both users remain logged in, this works with no problem.   Except for Apple TV.  The Apple TV can see each library, so they both show up in the list under Computers, but only one is accessible.  It's either the first one that broadcast itself, or the first one that Apple TV connected to, I'm not sure which.  But, once that's established, the second library will remain in the Computers list, but any attempt to connect to the library will fail.  It appears there is a limitation that Apple TV can only connect to a single library per physical computer, even though it can tell there are multiple libraries there.
    Does anyone have any idea how to work around this without consolidating the libraries?  Being able to connect to multiple libraries is the goal, not consoludating them.

    I don't have that set up anymore, but used to. I had no problems sharing from either library. Of course it may have changed since I used it, but wouldn't see why.

  • App updates for multiple users on same Mac with maverick

    Background.  I have a single iMac that I have been using since ~2007. It's a family computer and there are three(3) accounts/users on it.  I am the administrator for them.  The operating system has been kept up with each OS upgrade since its purchase.  We are currently using Maverick.
    Problem - In the past with all the other operating systems (pre-Maverick), when a application needed to be upgraded I could log into my account (administrator rights) and perform the necessary upgrade and it would propgate to ALL the users on this computer.  However, since upgrading to Maverick I can no longer just upgrade on the administrators account (i.e. mine) and it propogate to the other users.  I now have to log into each individual account (i.e my wifes and sons) and perform the upgrades to their account.
    Question - Does anyone know if there is a way to allow the administrator to perform the single upgrade that propogates to others users in OS Maverick without having to log into each individual accounts and updating each account separately.  Also does anyone know why OS Maverick no longer supports the capability like ALL previous OS's have in the past? 
    Thanks

    Ok thanks.  The apps that I'm referring to are: Pages, keynote, numbers, iMovie, and iPhoto.  Each of these were originally purchased or came (iLife / iWork) with the machine when I purchased it.  All of those apps are located for each user under HD/Applications folder.  Each user does have a apple iD for itunes and itunes purchases for songs etc. but all applications are purchased by me the administrator and placed in the HD/Applications folder.  So I'm not sure why I now (since upgrading) to Maverick need to go into each account and perform the updates to these apps.  All previous OS updates never had this problem. 
    Does this now mean for each user that I perform the update my HD is getting multiple downloads and installs and increasing the amount of usage per application.  For example if "pages" takes 1 Gb and I install it for each user will it now take a total of 3Gb for the 3 users?
    Thanks for your help

  • Flash Player For Multiple Users On Same Computer

    While surfing. I got a message to update Flash Player. When I
    did, issues began to occur for other users on my home computer. The
    adminstrator could view web pages with Flash content, but no other
    users could, including other adminstrators on the computer. After
    looking at support documents, I uninstalled the flashplayer - then,
    reinstalled using a different administrator id. Now, that id can
    view Flash and no others can. I have tried changing screensavers as
    suggested in another support document, but no luck. How do I get
    Flash to work for all users?

    It might be a permission problem in the Flash Player install folder.  Try a clean install on the original machine.
    If that does not resolve your problem, can you tell what Windows version & edition you are using?
    Also check the permissions of all files in
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash

  • Can I set a default Playback preference for multiple users on same PC?

    I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user?  In particular, as we have dual monitors, we want to save the preferences - Playback to always appear on the second monitor. This is really important for us - I need an answer before building more suites.
    (Adobe won't let me ask them directly, so I have to wait for someone to provide an anwser on the forums... not great customer support in my book)

    Firstly...is  this editing suite for the purpose of teaching editing or something else?
    Next ...what is your experience with PPRo?
    You can set up the machine(s) initially exactly how you want them  in regards to hardware and screen layouts etc.  Thats easy and can be called..'University of Waikato Default Edit Workspace' for example. That is  only part of it though.
    You can set up and share a common Key Board Short cut Preference File.  Same as Export Presets.
    There is no way you can "Default" all the USERS stuff for individual unique projects  though without creating a massive potential for disaster and confusion.
    Each will need to have access to many separate drive locations for their media (audio, graphics, footage) and the knowledge to create, access and locate it.
    THey will each need a separate Location for their Projects as well as their media.
    If they are editing students...they should be taught how to set up everything for themselves so they have an understanding of the fundamentals and basic s of NLEs

  • Sharing Itunes Music Library among Multiple User Accounts on One Mac

    I have 3 user accounts set up on the computer and one itunes account authorized on all 3 user accounts. I have the music library files placed in the shared folders and permissions set up to allow all users to read & write the music. However, only my user account (the main account with admin privileges) is able to access the music unless I log into my user account, run iTunes with sharing enabled, then exit to the login window. Then the other users can access the shared iTunes library. I have preferences setup to use the same library folders.
    An earlier version of iTunes used to allow me to do this, and iPhoto still does allow a similar setup with my photo library.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I have an iMac at home with 4 users. I've recently struggled with this and thought I had a working solution ...
    I created a new iTunes folder off of root. I then logged in as each user and set the path on their Advanced Tab to /iTunes/iTunes Music/ and dragged and dropped their local iTunes Music folders (~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/) into iTunes. This copies files that aren't there but skips anything that might be in two peoples library.
    Then iTunes 8.1 came out and now things are broken. I've rebuilt the index by doing an Add to Library but my Podcasts don't download any more. 8-(

  • Sharing iTunes Library for multiple users on SAME PC at home.

    I am running Windows XP. I want to get my wife a Shuffle for Christmas, and I'd like us to be able to share the same music library. Because of paranoia over what the kids can get to on the net (my oldest is 10) and because my wife keeps here files in a mess, we all have separate accounts on my home machine.
    I turned on sharing in iTunes in my account, but none of my music library if visible when I launch iTunes in her account. Is there a way what I want to do?

  • Sharing two iTunes Libraries for different user accounts on one Mac

    How can I upload or share my wife's iTunes library? She is listed as a different end user on the same Mac as I use but we have different libraries. If I sync my iphone to her account, will it erase my existing applications and downloaded songs? Also, she only uses the iTouch. And yes, I have a mobile me account if that matters. (The $99 package)

  • Multiple Libraries for Multiple Users on iTunes

    Is there a way - using iTunes 7 - to have multiple libraries? Our family shares a computer and I would love to have separate libraries.
    Thanks.
    Tas804

    Hi there
    Hold down the 'alt' key for a couple of seconds when you launch iTunes from the dock.
    You should get a prompt to create a new library, or choose another library to launch.
    Good luck

  • Sharing library for multiple users on same computer

    I have 2 non-administrator accounts and an administrator account on one Mac. (G5 running Tiger). I have tried various ways of sharing songs between all of these accounts. What I am trying to do is have the 3 accounts show the same songs when they open iTunes. I want to be able to add songs to any of the individual accounts, and have it show up in all 3. I do not want to make 3 copies of each song. I can't seem to get this to work. I had this working before I upgraded to itunes 9. Now no matter what I do, can't get it to work. Can someone let me know how I can set this up?

    Use tweakUI, google on it to get it and install it.
    More details are here or do a search discussions for "TweakUI" if you need more.

  • How to setup for multiple users accessing same share?

    Hi!
    Recently picked up Mac Mini Server and have some configuration questions related to sharing files & information over the internet. Whenever possible, prefer to use the built-in features & tools, not 3rd party tools.
    My setup & needs are this:
    - Have folders & sub-folders with files to share.
    - Wish to give individuals access to the shared folders, each with their own account (and access logging).
    - Shared folder and files should be visible via web to authenticated users only (so no special client or setup is needed).
    Right now, have added a Website via Server.app that points to the folder with files to share, and that works somewhat, but doesn't support individual user accounts separately?
    Thought maybe to setup VPN but that seems like massive overkill for this (and is a pain in the butt for non-technical users to setup).
    Editing httpd.conf for user support is a possibility, but seems /etc/apache2/httpd.conf only applies to the default web server (on port 80) not the one i set up in Server.app?
    Can anyone recommend the best approach, given the above needs?

    I have a related question. i created 2 websites/domains then i went to users and created 2 seperate "network" users then i went to ftp and selected each website and added only user A to site A and user B to site B. what's weird is that when i try to ftp using either of the users it seems to land on the same site. i looked at shared security for the folders and it only shows user a on site a folder and user b on site b folders. am i doing somehitng wrong or is this how it works in mountain lion server? i just want to give the domain owner ftp access so they can manage their files and only thier files. i also had to turn on open directory so that it would not create a local user but a network user. do i need to turn that off and just deal with having a bunch of local users as ftp user? i want to host multiple websites on the server and NO users remote on to server besides ftp.
    edit 1: i only have 1 IP running on the server which i don't think it has any affect on this but thought i mention it :-)
    edit 2: i just noticed one more thing that may help. i used filezilla to remote in using both users, one at a time. it seems to allow both users in but then it shows same directories. i then created a file using the one that was not supposed to have acces and it never sows up. but if i remote desktop to server i can see the new file in the correct folder. so it may have something to d o with the directory listing.

  • Trying to get access to iPhoto for 2 users on same machine

    I have a new MacBook and I set it up so that my wife and I have different user accounts and use Fast Switching. Here is what I would like to do but I am having difficulty with it. I am the administrator for the machine. I set sharing to on and put the iPhoto library into the Shared folder. I would like my wife to be able to open iPhoto and download photos. Is this possible or can she only see the photos in the Library? In iPhoto preference I have checked off Look for my Photos and Share my photos. I have File Sharing turned on in System Preferences. Now when I go into my wife's account using Fast Switching and try to open iPhoto, I get a prompt asking me to locate the file where the photos are stored. I navigate to the iPhoto Library in Shared Folder and click on it. However, I get a message that says "The main photo library appears to be locked or in a read-only cd." Is there a workaround for this so that both my wife and I can add, edit, etc. photos to the same iPhoto library or is this not possible? I hope I was clear. Thanks.
