Sharing calenders on one computer

My wife and I share a mac via Fast User Switching where I am the administrator. However, there doesn't appear a way for us to share our iCal information. We don't need to be able to write to the shared calenders (however, that would be nice). Is there some way to do this?

Hi Dennis,
Caution is always understandable.
Yes, this software is designed to be used with OS 10.4 and iCal 2 as well as OS 10.3 and iCal 1.5. I should point out that I have nothing to do with the author of this software, but it does work on my machine.
There are other ways of doing this. You could start webdav on your machine's Apache server and both subscribe to it locally (instructions - http://www.shawnwall.com/teach/webdav-ical.php ), or some people have got making symbolic links work. Both involve playing around in the Terminal. There is also .mac.
Best wishes

  • Can you now have multiple Itunes accounts sharing content on one computer?

    Hi - I was trying to find this information on line but cannot.
    The last "big" Itunes update (11.2?) prevented multiple Itunes accounts from sharing content on one computer.  Well, you can, but with consequences. For example, my husband purchased a movie rental with his Itunes account on our computer when he logged on to Itunes, but then I could not download any Itunes content for 30 days when I logged on to my account. I no longer purchase any content from Apple because of this. I was hoping this feature has been discontinued – it prevents households from purchasing Itunes.  We never pirate or steal any content at all. In fact, this feature forces us out of the Itunes universe to purchase movie rentals and music elsewhere.
    Not just trying to complain, really. Legitimately want to find out if this rights policy still exists before we both try to rent or purchase anything from Itunes.
    Thanks.

        "Won't it present problems if the daughter needs to reauthorize the computer for her own use before 90 days,"
    No. The 90 day limit ONLY applies to redownloading purchases from iTunes..
    So if she were to redownload purchases from the father's account then she'd have to wait 90 days to redownload form her own account. and the computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes account (pretty sure it's 5) . You don't need to later reauthorize for first account if you authorize for a different account.
    More discussion on 90 day wait period - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6094005 - disable automatic downloads so message doesn't appear when using multiple accounts.

  • How do i transmit shared libraries from one computer to apple tv?

    how do i transmit shared libraries from one computer to my apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The same way you share a non-shared library. If it isn't working check that you have the content checked in iTunes Preferences > general > Show.

  • 4 ipods sharing music on ONE computer GET one UP the others GO DOWN

    We run windows and have 4 ipods connected to the computer all with different log on accounts
    We share all our music with each other
    Problem
    when we search for a song and click on it (so we can get it in our individual itunes) seems when you log on to a different ipod theirs is all messed up with a exclamation point on the song just previously shared.
    Also, I have noticed when I search for a song I find we have up to 6 and at times 10 copies of the same song. Is there a easy way to clean up this mess and still keep all 4 ipods running?

    Well, the fiirst option wasn't working because nothing will sync unless iTunes is running. Since iTunes no longer warns you before it starts syncing, when you move your iPod to a different computer, that means any kind of auto-syncing of my music was not an option.
    I also got an error message each time I synced with my iMac after removing iPhoto from it (could not find a compatible photo program), which was already getting annoying. Removing Address Book from the iMac did allow me to sync contacts with the PowerBook and not lose them when syncing to the iMac.
    Still, this was only 1/3 of what I was trying to accomplish, and I was getting the feeling that I was just fighting against the way this was supposed to work. So I switched to the second option.
    This isn't too bad with the help of Sync Pro X, which I already have installed on my PowerBook for daily backups. What I'm doing now is that whenever I update my photos or contacts on the PowerBook, I run a Sync Pro X script that connects to my iMac and copies my changes in those two programs. Then I can do a full, automatic sync of my iPod to my iMac. Under this plan, I'll never try to sync the iPod to the PowerBook -- it's just a one-computer, one-iPod situation.
    I've been following this plan for a week, and it's pretty smooth. It's not exactly what I had in mind, but I've come to think that it's the best approach given how the iPod is designed to work.
    I hope this little experiment helps someone, if anyone is trying to do what I was doing.
    Cheers,

  • Can't load home shared library on one computer

    I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and a Dell Studio 15 with Windows 7. Each has the very latest version of iTunes 9 on it and a 500 GB HD. The library I want to share is slightly more than 200 GB in size.
    My home sharing problem seems to differ from others' issues and I have not seen a discussion of the problem anywhere on the Web. Basically, both computers see the other's library as a home share and, when I try to access each, I get the appropriate screen with the "settings" and "import" buttons on the bottom. However, only the Mac actually gets access to the other computer's library. (On the Mac, I can both see and import from the Dell library.) The Dell, however, will just display the message "Loading [library name]" and does not complete that task. Eventually, it appears to time out, since the "loading" message stops displaying and I get dumped back to the main library listing. This happens whether the McAfee firewall is running or not. (When it is running, I've enabled the two ports referenced in the Apple Home Sharing Troubleshooting Guide found at Apple.com. but that has made no difference.)
    I thought the issue might be a memory one, since the library is so large. However, the Mac is running with 2 gigs of RAM and the Dell has 4 gigs. I understand that the OS X and Windows 7 overhead requirements are about the same, so, if anything, there probably is more memory actually available to iTunes on the Dell. The other thought I've had is that the Mac may have a better wireless receiver than does the Dell, so it is better able to pick up the Dell over the network than vice versa. However, both machines' network strength indicators suggest they see excellent signals.
    Any thoughts from the experts here? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Just to flesh this out a bit, the problem persists when I connect both computers to a wired network that includes an XP desktop system. The Mac can see and import from both PCs, but neither PC can see the Mac or the other PC. The latter fact suggests to me that the issue lies with the PCs and not with the Mac's transmission of data. Anyway, this still does not work as advertised.

  • Shared music from one computer and library to two ipod touches

    so here is my issue. i once had an ipod nano and was full\ of music. christmas last year, my bf got us both the new ipod touch, and so we shared his laptop. i was able to transfer the old music from the nano to the computer and it shows up. however, since we live together and share the media library, i want to know how to get the info for both ipods into my ipad. i tried everything, and long story short, the two ipods both contain our shared library, but the library says the files from the nano and cannot be located. the music i needed is on one of the new ones. so question is, how to i get my entire media library from icloud accounts, devices, and what not transferred to my ipad. can someone help me?

    Apparently, nobody is doing something similar...
    As an FYI, Podcasts are still automatically updated even when you check the "Manually Manage Music and Videos" checkbox.
    I plan to see if I can indeed sync my music with the Mac over the weekend...

  • Home Sharing More Than One Computer

    I'm relatively new to Apple TV, but I don't understand the "Computer" tab in the main section. I setup the Apple TV with my wife's account info so when I pass over "Computer" I see her account. Last week I added my account expecting to see both accounts in the drop-down, but it seems that I have to log out and then back in to switch. There are some things on my computer that I would like to show via Apple TV, but this logging on and off of the Home Sharing is frustrating with that joy-stick dial. Did I do something wrong or is this the way it works?

    Hello WanderNotLost,

  • Sharing itunes on one computeR??????

    hi, me and my sister use the same computer so we have to use the same program of itunes, but we have different tastes in music... so is there anyway you can have two seperate libraries on itunes so we don't have to worry about having eachother's music on eachother's ipods?
    thanks in advance!

    Hi Marty,
    Welcome to Apple Support Discussions!
    There is actually a very simple way to do this that Apple has added in iTunes version 7. Before you open iTunes, hold down shift. If you held shift and then hit enter when the iTunes icon was selected, a dialog should come up that says, "iTunes needs a library to continue. You may choose and existing iTunes library or create a new one." And it will display three options. If this is your first time doing this, select "Create Library..." Now you can create a library for yourself separate from your sister's.
    iTunes will now load into the library that was last loaded, so just Shift + open iTunes to switch to the other by selecting "Choose Library..."
    That should do it! Good luck! Leave a message if you need any more help.

  • Will home sharing work if one computer is turned off?

    I have 3 users on one computer with 3 unique user accounts.  Each of us have separate and unique ITunes accounts.  How do we share our music libraries using Home Sharing?  Everything that I can find talks about sharing between networked computers, but this is all on the same computer.  I just want to share between ITunes accounts.  Thanks!

    Hi b noir, I also have two users on one pc with two different iTunes libraries.  But I also want to put them onto an external hard drive so that I can free up some memory on the pc.  So I figure I need to consolidate the two users iTunes libraries first before moving to hard drive?  But not quite sure how to do that on the iTunes 11?  Thanking you in advance!!

  • ITunes sharing among iPhones with different Apple ID's one computer WITHOUT home sharing, shared folder, etc...

    I feel like I am losing my mind, here. A few things I want to clear up before you read my question:
    No, I am not new to Apple. Yes, I understand that Home Sharing works for any group of devices authrized with my Apple ID. Home Sharing is not my issue.
    1. My wife and I have different iPhones with different Apple IDs.
    2. We only have one computer, on which iTunes is running under my Apple ID.
    3. My iTunes library is far too large to paste into a shared folder. I keep my source folder on a 1TB external hard drive (not enough space on my iMac).
    I just want her to be able to plug in and copy music onto her phone from iTunes. Home sharing is great while she's at home on the wifi, but not when she leaves. I created her own user name on my computer, set her iTunes (under her Apple ID) to pull from my library source file, and she can play everything fine, except that she cannot click and drag files onto her phone.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store Apple ID and country-specific store. The service cannot be shared between Apple IDs.
    Indy Apple Guy wrote:
    If we sign up for iTunes with the one account with the majority of the songs, is Home Sharing no longer available to the other two accounts? 
    Of course it is. iTunes Match has no affect on Home Sharing.
    Indy Apple Guy wrote:
    A.  What happens to the songs on the other two libraries?  Can we never use them?
    It is possible to consolidate the tracks from the other iTunes libraries into one and use that for iTunes Match. Make sure the one computer that hosts the library is authorized to play any protected content.
    Indy Apple Guy wrote:
    C.  If we purchase songs/albums while in iTunes Match, and then decide not to use Match in the future, do we lose all our music?
    Of course not. Any purchases go to the purchase history for the Apple ID that bought them and as long as the tracks are downloaded and backedup you'll have them as long as you maintain them. Keep in mind that iTunes Match is a service; you don't do anything "in" iTunes Match. It simply "is" in the background.
    Indy Apple Guy wrote:
    D.  If we associate our child's iTouch, will it still keep the parental controls in place so it won't play certain songs that are not appropriate f
    Yes, parental controls should continue to work as they have. Although I do not use them, perhaps someone else with experience will weigh in.

  • I have windows, one computer but multi users. home sharing is on. how can i share music between users on one computer?

    I have windows.  One computer but multi users.  Home sharing is on. 2 apple accounts-1 per user. 4 devices-2 iphones and 2 ipods per user.  How can we share music  on one computer between 2 users?

    Hi Justinece, I've solved the problem in this way:
    In my wife user profile I've set in itunes settings/advanced the path to my music library: /Users/"MY NAME"/Music/iTunes/Itunes media.
    Than, from my wife profile using my administrator user and password I've set the "read/write" privileges on the above mentioned folder.
    Finally I've added the folder in my wife's library taking care to not duplicate it ( leave blank the flag in itunes setting/advanced).
    I really don't understand what's the use of home sharing...

  • ITunes Shared library with all users on one computer

    I am trying to share my iTunes (version 8.2) library with all the users on my computer. So far, this is what I have done:
    1) I have moved the music folder into the shared folder.
    2) I have selected "Add to Library" in all three accounts.
    3) I have tried checking and unchecking the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library."
    Since then, I have added some CDs that had some songs that I already had. When I loaded these CDs, I deleted the duplicates that had the worse sound. Since then, everything is unwinding. The additions on one user account are not being added to the others. When I delete a track, iTunes (obviously) says that it can't find the song anymore. What's odd is that I then delete the one that is missing, and both are missing now: the one that I deleted on the original account and the one that I did not delete on the original account.
    I am starting to think that I need to start from scratch. So, to make a long story short (too late), how can I share my iTunes library with all users on one computer, where I can make a change in one account that will update automatically on the other accounts. If it can't be updated automatically, how can I add/delete files without causing the headaches I am currently having?
    Brian

    I actually followed this, but I still had problems that I listed above. Is there any way that when you make changes to one account (even if there is only one main account where changes are made), the changes are automatically (or at least easily) applied to the other user accounts?

  • Sharing Libraries across accounts on one computer

    I'd like to know an easy method to share iPhoto libraries across accounts on one computer. It looks like iPhoto is more or less ignoring this topic. I have searched the web for tips, found some, yet the instructions are complicated and what seemed to be the best one didn't work. Anyone in this forum that can help me?

    haha, brian has a hidden message in there.
    Anyway, here all the links I have for sharing. The last link for using ACLs is the one I think you are thinking of.
    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.
