Sharing calendars between different macs but same .mac account

I need to share ical calendars between 2 store locations and my home office. I have only 1 .mac account, and I created a new calendar on each machine and sent the publish email from each machine to the other ones to invcite them to subscribe. That was working fine, but now, when i loggon to one machine it has the wrong calendar as read only. so it seems, that .mac doesn't know which computer is the owner of each calendar.
has anyone encountered this?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You need to start over:
.Mac is for synchronising, not for publish/subscribe. You need to keep the original calendar(s) and unsubscribe from the remote locations. Next, [on each machine] enter your dotmac account details in the dotmac System Preference Pane. The click on the second tab "Sync", choose to "Synchronise with .Mac Automatically" after you have checked the box next to Calendars.
You will be prompted on your first sync to establish which is the master data: on the machine with your original calendars choose to overwrite .Mac with data from this mac; on the others choose to overwrite data on this mac with data from .Mac.
You should then have read/write access to all the calendars on all the machines (provided each of them is using the same dotmac account).
Make sure you back-up valuable data before starting.

  • ITunes Library between different users on Same Mac

    Hi,
    If I create multiple users, say one for me and one for my wife and probably another for a guest, How do I share the music library among all the users? I am a new Mac user and would appreciate your help.
    Thank you

    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer describes two methods.
    Each method has it's (dis)advantages.
    Fast user switching enables listening to each others music, but iTunes of the acount you're listening to, has to be active.
    By using this method, you can't mess up each others library.
    Putting the music in a shared folder (second method) gives each user full access. If one user adds or deletes files, the others have to do the same.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT3819 How do I share downloaded tracks between different users on same mac?

    Hello.  I bought my new Mac a couple of months ago.  I set it up with three different users, one for myself as admin, one for my wife, and one for our daughter, all on the same Mac. My wife and I both have our own Itunes account.  I spent a couple of days downloading almost all of our CDs into my Itunes library.  Now, I want to know how my wife and daughter can access these songs in their libraries so that they can put tracks on their Ipods.  So far, the only option that I have been able to see is the downloading of the CDs all over again into my wife's library.  Wouldn't this just make duplicate tracks on the Hard Drive?  If anyone can help, or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It works for "initial sharing" but the described solution includes some drawbacks;
    - songs added under one account don't show "automatically" for other users
    - if added there is a copy of the song-file (* 2.mp3)
    - no "bulk" import withoud re-adding already present songs
    Any workarounds for these problems known? 'caus I'm getting tired to keep the 3 iTune Libs of my girls in synch

  • Sharing files between different users on same computer

    how do I go about sharing files between two users on the same computer?
    also, what about iTunes, can I transfer songs between users, or do I have to pay for it everytime, even though it's on the same computer?

    You can control sharing of a user's itune library in the sharing preference. It is good for users on the same computer and the same local network (usually your house of small office).
    As for files on another users folder, they have to either change the permissions of the parent folder (get info) or put the file to be shared into the public folder.

  • Problem sharing media between multiple users on same Mac

    My wife and I have an eMac, running Mac OS 10.4.11, with iTunes 9.2.1(4).  We each have separate user accounts.  Previously, I had imported several albums into my iTunes library.  Now, my goal is to be able to share the albums that I had imported with my wife.  Simultaneously, our available hard drive capacity is getting limited, so I decided to put my iTunes media on an external fire wire drive by Iomega.  I followed article HT1449, transferring my media (and, not the other associated library files) and that part, at least, seems to be working fine.  The folder "iTunes media" is now located on a partition of the external drive.  As far as I can tell, both my wife and I have "read and write" permissions for this partition.  Ownership of the partition volume is "ignored".
    Now, as for setting up my wife's iTunes library and linking it up to the iTunes media folder on the external drive, I have followed HT1203 as a guide, changing the path of the media folder to the partition on the external drive.  But, it simply doesn't seem to have any effect.  There are no songs available within iTunes from her user account.
    I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this.  Thank you.

    Chris, won't this copy the music contained in the external media folder, to the media folder under his wife's account?
    They are both using the same media folder so iTunes won't copy it anywhere.

    Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
    iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

  • Move an iTunes library between users on the same mac

    How do I move an iTunes library between users on the same mac?
    I accidentally created a secondary user on my mac some time ago when using the migration tool and am now going back and transferring all my files from the secondary to the admin user profile.
    I wanted to know which itunes files/folders need to be copied over.
    Is the process as simple as replacing the itunes folder on admin with the copied itunes folder from my secondary profile or do I need to delete the admin folder first and then copy the old folder over or do I delete the contents of the folder and replace with the copied contents?
    I am using shared folders to move between users, but want to make sure that I am picking the right files to transfer.
    Thanks in advance.

    Assuming you have left iTunes to default settings so everything is still in the iTunes folder the way iTunes likes it to be, copy the whole of the iTunes folder to the new location.  If it is in the default directory (Home > Music) for iTunes the application will automatically use it there for the new account.  If you put it elsewhere you will have to start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key to direct it to the new location.
    It is just possible you will have to change permissions.  If you encounter those issues read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

  • Sharing photos between multiple users on one Mac

    I'm trying to figure out how to easily share photos imported in by one user to other users in my family on my mac. I'm assuming we don't have to import them multiple times. It seems cumbersome to this new mac user to share them. I find the issue with iTunes. Any help?

    HI Darien,
    Here are all the links I have for the different kinds of sharing:
    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....

    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.

  • Sharing calendars between 2010 and 2013

    Is there an incompatibility issue when sharing calendars from Office 2010 and Office 2013?

    Hi Dave,
    I'm not quite sure what kind of incompatibility issue you mean here. But as far as I know, there is not so much difference with the Calendar function between Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013.
    Calendars that shared from Outlook 2010 should work well in Outlook 2013 and vice versa.
    If you have any specific issues regarding sharing calendars between Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, please feel free to post a question in our forum, we'll be happy to help you with it.
