Sharing iPhoto Library from HD on iMac with SSD/HD

I'm looking for guidance on how to share the iPhoto library among users on a single iMac from the HD drive, as opposed to the SSD.  The shared folder appears to only extend to the SSD and I'd prefer to set up the machine so photo content resides on the HD.  I'm also still exploring the possibilities of restricting some user's levels of access.  I've seem helpful threads suggesting setting up a media account access and allowing other users "read" access only, which appeals to me, but I guess I need to verify that will work if the library resides on the HD drive.  If I need to allow all users full access rights, so be it.  I'm running the latest version of Mountain Lion and iPhoto (and also using the latest version of Aperture on the iPhoto library and all photos are maintained in the library (no reference photos yet, though I suppose I'd prefer not to foreclose that possibility).  Thanks in advance.

Put the Library on the HD. In your set up the HD will perform just like an external. So:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the HD.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your SSD to free up space.
Now you can share it as you wish. For Read Only access:
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.

  • Transfer iphoto library from MacBook to iMac

    I need to know the best way to move my iphoto library from my MacBook to my iMac. I have over 4000 pictures on my MacBook, and I tried to upload them to MobileMe but it takes forever the way I am doing it. (I am probably not doing it correctly, I have to click on and select each jpeg file to upload it.) I am getting very frustrated! I am sure there is an easier way to do it, I just don't know how. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Trying to transfer iPhoto library from MacBook to iMac.

    I am trying to transfer one iPhoto library from my MacBook to desktop iMac to create more harddrive space on laptop.   I successfully transferred photos to external harddrive.  When I plug harddrive in to iMac, the iPhoto icon appears and the pictures are there, but I am not able to select it in order to import the library.  I was able to drag the icon to the desktop and the pictures are there - but when I try to dump in to iPhoto - it only gives me the option to launch and replace a new library.  I am seeking to combine the two libraries.  I would be so grateful for any guidance this community has!  Many thanks in advance!

    Hello:
    You need to export the photos and then import them to the new library.

  • Sharing iPhoto Library on an external HD with 3 macs

    I had this all set up very easily at first. I had the iPhoto Lib on my external HD and was sharing it with my G5, iBook G4 and Powerbook G$ all with iPhoto 08'all running 10.4.11. Then I upgraded my G5 to a new iMac running 10.5.5 and I can choose the library on my iMac but when I tell the iBook and powerbook to chose that library it is "grayed out" in the browser and it will not allow me to choose it. Also i have always had "connect 360" working off my computer for my xbox 360 to see my photos downstairs on my tv but now that too will not reconize the library. My external drive has the "ignore permissions" selected and I have tried to create a new library to test it but I am still having the same bad luck...
    Any thought and help would be greatly appreciated.
    Than you

    1 - sharing in a very limited sense is possiible -  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198  -  IF and only if all versions of iPhoto that will access it are the same version
    2 - since you have different versions of iPhoto on different systems you can not share amoung them - only amoung ssytems using the same version of software
    3 - I have no idea what XDrive is - but note tha tthe iPhoto library must always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and should be on a drive that is directly connected with a wired connection

  • Sharing iphoto library on 4-users imac

    Hi all,
    4 people use our family imac.
    since each of us has downloaded photos on their iphoto library, it's quite hard to see all picture at the same time.
    Is there a way for each of us to see every body else's photos on their i photo?
    Thanks 

    If you want the other user(s) 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.

  • How can I transfer/copy my entire iPhoto library from one iMac to another iMac whilst keeping all the folders and subfolders intact?

    We recently purchased a new iMac for our office (8 GB memory, 2.7 processor, version 10.9.2) and we need to copy the iPhoto library from our other iMac (version 10.9.4) onto the new one. The photos are essential for our work and there are around 53,000 of them all organised into folders and subfolders and then the photos are manually ordered within the albums.
    We have tried connecting the computers but when we tried to access the iPhoto library on the new iMac it says that iPhoto is locked and we do not have permission to view it. We updated iPhoto on the old iMac as we thought that might be the problem but the message still appears. We've been advised to use an external hard drive but we're worried that will corrupt the organisation of the library. We have also been told not to do it over AirDrop / the Server because of the sheer quantity of photos.
    Any advice on how to safely do this would be much appreciated.

    No idea exactly what you did
    if you followed the instructions
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    then you have exactly the same thin on your new system that you had on the old
    If you do something differently - like import the library instead of simply opening it - then it will not work
    did you dimply drag the iPhoto library from the pictures folder of the old machine to the pictures folder of the new machine and then launch iPhoto on the new machine?
    and to help it is important to use word correctly since that is the only communications method we have - in iPhoto folders do not contain photos - you view photos in events and you can organize them using albums (which view photos) and folders (which hold either albums or other folders - folders never have photos in them) so your description of the problem is not at all clear since it uses folders incorretly

  • How can I move an iPhoto library from from one Mac to another?

    How do I take a 30 GB iPhoto library from my home iMac (OSX 10.6.8) to work and combine the data with my my iPhoto Library on my work MacMini?

    Put the iPhoto library at work on an external hard drive, take it home and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to merge it into your iPhoto library on the Mac Mini assuming they both are the same version

  • I opened original iPhoto Library (from iMac 10.8.5) on new MBP and now it won't open on iMac

    As my main computer I use an iMac which is not yet updated to Mavericks and I'd rather not update for now. I recently bought a MBP retina which has Mavericks on it.
    Whilst I was using the shared network to copy over some files to my new macbook I opening the iPhoto library off my iMac onto my MBP. Everything worked fine. However when I tried to open that library on my iMac it doesn't work. I just get a pop up saying:
    The library “iPhoto Library” cannot be opened.
    To open it, you must upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto.
    Quit
    I've tried updating but of course I cannot. I can't even double check what version of iPhoto I am running as everything is greyed out. When I go to the app store and click update I get:
    Download an older version of this app?
    The current version requires OS X 10.9 or later, but you can download the last compatible version.
    When I download the older version it doesn't do anything unfortunately. Is there a way to get my iphoto library back on my iMac as there's a LOT of images on there that I need.
    Thanks

    You will need to restore your iPhoto Library from a back up of your iMac prior to when you opened it on your new MBP Retina.
    The iPhoto app for OS X Mavericks upgrades the iPhoto Library DB and you can't go back. There should have been a message displayed when you first tried opening it from your MBP Retina warning you that the libary will be upgraded.
    So, as long as you have a back up of the library prior to opening it with an OS X Mavericks Mac, you can continue using it with your iMac running OS X Mountain Lion. What this means is, until you upgrade your iMac to OS X Mavericks and the newer version of iPhoto, you will have to maintain 2 iPhoto Libraries and not share it.

  • How do I restore my iPhoto library from my old macbook (stored in time machine) to my new iMac?

    I have my old macbook backed up on my time machine.  The problem is, when i enter time machine on my new iMac, I can only restore files from the current iMac's backups.  I can go to finder, and find my files under the "shared>airport time capsule" menu, but I don't know how to safely and accurately restore the iPhoto library to the current iMac's iPhoto.
    Most of the searches I did on this topic kept advising to enter time machine, find your file and hit restore, but I can not select files from my macbook's backup in time machine on the current iMac.

    While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.
    If you need to restore from a backup of the hidden user Library folder, first select a snapshot, then press shift-command-G. A Go to Folder dialog will open. In it, you'll enter the path to the folder. The dialog will help you by automatically completing the parts of the path when you start to type them.
    The path begins with slash character ("/"). Enter that. The rest of the parts will be separated by slashes.
    The next part is the date and time of the current snapshot. Enter a "2", and the rest of the date should be filled in automatically. Press the right-arrow key to jump to the end of the path. Enter a slash to start the next part.
    Next is the name of the volume (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you gave it a different name.) Start to type that, then jump to the end and enter a slash.
    The next part is "Users", followed by a slash.
    Next is your (short) user name, which is also the name of your home folder.
    Finally, enter "Library", then press return. You should now be in the Library folder. From there you can get around as in the Finder.
    This seemed to do the trick.  I found the iPhoto library file and chose restore.  The question now is where to put the iPhoto library file.

  • Move entire iPhoto library from iMac 10.6.8 to new iMac 10.9.4

    I'm trying to move my iPhoto library from old iMac 10.6.8 to new iMac 10.9.4. I have connected the 2 Macs with Ethernet cable as suggested in post #23676031 but cannot find a way to have the connections show up on the screens so I can make the move (I had "drag and drop" in mind).  Could you please help me as I do not have a lot of computer experience.

    In the Finder window Sidebar, look for the other Mac in the Shared section. If you don’t see anything in Shared section, hover over the right side of the sidebar next to Shared. If “show” appears, click it.
    While this article has been archived, I think the steps will still work: OS X Lion: Connect two computers using Ethernet
    Make sure you connect from the new iMac to the old iMac.
    While not listed there, you will likely need to turn on File Sharing on the old Mac. When you log into the old Mac, use the username and password of the old Mac’s user account where the iPhoto Library is stored.
    Sorry, I don’t have two Macs to test this out and give you cleaner directions. Perhaps someone will stumble upon this and try to clean it up.

  • Importing photos from shared iPhoto library

    I have all my photos on my Macbook and have home sharing set up to share that iPhoto library with my iMac (within iPhoto…easy enough). Does anyone know if it's possible, from iMovie on my iMac, to access that shared iPhoto library on my Macbook to select photos to add to an iMovie project on my iMac?
    I hope that's not confusing. And you might ask why I don't just do the project on my Macbook. I could, it's just a little more user friendly to work on my iMac.
    Thanks!

    Two ways to do this:
    1. Export from the other library to the finder using the File -> Export command. In the dialogue be sure to tick the box at 'Titles and Descriptions., then import to your Library
    2. Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the files plus all associated versions and metadata between libraries.

  • I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook to the iMac?

    I own a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac and I have different iPhoto libraries for each one of them.
    How can I copy the iPhoto library from the MacBook to the iMac without losing the pictures I have on the iMac library?
    Is it possible to merge the libraries?
    Can I do this without using an external HDD? (e.g. connecting them through an ethernet cable?)
    Thanks for your help!

    1. By eirher a: renaming one of the Libraries or b: copying them to another folder
    2. If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    3. Yes.

  • How to use photos from a *shared iphoto library* in iWeb's Photos page

    I have a large library of pictures in iPhoto. I am sharing it with my wife's Mac on our LAN. She would like to use many of these photos on my Mac in an iWeb page. We're both using 10.4.10 with G5s.
    When we try to drag them over from my shared iPhoto library, we get the following error:
    "Some items can't be used because you don't have enough access privileges or because they contain no content or they are corrupted.
    unable to add object
    unable to add object"
    Sometimes it imports only the name of the picture to the iWeb page.
    Is there a way around this? I tried messing with the Get Info "Permissions" section of my iPhoto folder. But nothing seemed to change.

    iPhoto can not merge libraries
    And you must NEVER Import an iPhoto library - it does not work and creates a massive mess
    To merge libraries you must either use Aperture (being phased out this year) or the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    Or continue to have two libraries and switch between them

  • How to transfer an iPhoto 6 library to a new iMac with Lion OS?

    I'm upgrading from an old iMac with OS 10.3.9 to last year's iMac and want to make sure I transfer my photo library correctly without creating any conflicts between the new and old versions of iPhoto. I've moved my photo library to an external hard drive and from there I want to move the photo library to the new iMac. Is it as simple as dragging and dropping? I want to make sure that when I open my photo library on the new computer, it doesn't have every single version of every photo in the library. That happened to me once before.
    I've already checked, I CANNOT use Migration Assistant to accomplish this task, nor do I want to.
    Thanks.

    That's because you imported one Library to another.
