Sharing iPhoto with another user on my computer?

I have iPhoto 9.5.1, and I'd like to know how I can share events, albums or just photos with another user on my computer.

The most successful is to have the library on an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) with ownership ignored

  • 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?

    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?

  • How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my computer

    How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my Macbook pro?

    You may have to set up different user accounts in the computer if you wish to
    continue sharing the computer among other people, and only use the Mail app.
    Otherwise, if you use a webmail such as yahoo, gmail, or other, just use a browser
    and login each time; then there is no saving of your email to the computer as such.
    I've never used an email client software, nor had an ISP based email account. So
    my numerous computers have never downloaded email into software. No loss.
    But the answers do include setting up extra user accounts, not admin level, so the
    other users do not mess with the operating system; a standard account or just a
    guest account to use a browser to access web-based login email accounts, works.
    There are third-party email client for OS X, some are free applications, others are
    part of a larger browser product, such as SeaMonkey, & other Mozilla derivatives.
    They provide an email segment or client aspect; unlike Firefox that's a browser.
    Setup information should be within the Help viewer in the computer itself. Or by a
    simple search online, including the OS X version and any email client software
    your computer may have installed. Some browser software includes email client.
    Also there are several ways to go in this matter. I don't see questions, only answers.
    To learn how the Mail application works, if you want to import everyone's mail, then
    figure how to set up user accounts in the OS X. Or use web-mail & login by browser.
    Hopefully you can find the best solution for the unasked question.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • IPhoto is currently a shared file with another user on my Mac and I am the Admin and no longer want to share it. How do i undo this completely?

    Iphoto is currently a shared file on my Mac and I no longer want to share it. How do I completely remove access to it if i am the Admin to the computer? Thanks in advance...

    I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!
    Article ID: GEN82981      Updated: 8/11/2011 |
    Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
    Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files.  Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile.  When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
    You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users.  However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
    SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

    My wife and I use Windows XP Pro. We imported all of our CDs to the iTunes on her user account. How do I access or import the library to the iTunes on my account? I want to avoid logging into her account to listen to the music.
    The help index has info on sharing music for multiple computers on a network but I didn't see an answer for sharing music between multiple user accounts in XP on one computer. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Use tweakUI, google on it to get it and install it.

  • Sharing iTunes with new user on same computer

    Hi--
    I'm adding a user to my computer and I want him to be able to access my music. I've moved the music to a public folder, updated everything; however, when I try to add to library in his account, the music folder has a minus bar on it, even though share music is turned on in MY user account.
    I figure I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what it is, and followed all the suggestions on the apple page.
    Any other ideas? Thanks!

    I don't suppose there's anyway I can just "UNDO" everything and start all over?
    Unfortunately no, however we can try to resolve this. Inside your username home folder is the sub-folder labeled Music. Did you just move the iTunes Music folder that's inside the iTunes? If so then you'll need to put it back into the iTunes folder and move the entire folder to your username music folder. The iTunes Library & iTunes Music Library.xml file within the iTunes folder contains your library & playlists info. They need to be kept in the main iTunes folder.

  • Sharing IPhoto among multiple users on ONE computer. Question about article

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304890
    Does anyone have an idea why the article doesn't mention using users/shared instead of creating a separate partition. It seems much easier, though from some of the other posts it looks like Permissions on users/shared may not work properly.
    This seems awfully complicated for the machine that advertises itself as easy to use. It was much easier to share files on Windows.

    I have followed the famous Apple article and have created a disk image with permissions ignored and the iphoto library in it. But in order to have the other user access the disk image, I have put it in the users/shared folder. As a result, when trying to access the library from the other user account, it says that I do not have enough rights to access the library. Any thoughts ?
    Thank you.

  • Sharing iPhoto with other users

    I am working hard to make a conversion to my new iMac, learning as I go along. I have set up separate login accounts for each member of my family, but want to have a single repository for iPhoto for my wife and myself. I have downloaded a number of photo already, and so I moved my iPhoto folder into the shared user folder on the Macintosh HD, and was able to point the iPhoto application in my login to the photos without issue.
    When I log in as my wife however, and try to point to the same iPhoto folder in the shared user folder of the Macintosh HD, I get a message that states "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it."
    It seems like this should be fairly easy to solve, but I have not figured it out yet. Can someone help me out?
    Thanks!

    These instructions are only valid for Tiger. It doesn't seem to be as simple using Leopard. I wanted to share my library with my husband's login and had to go in using Terminal to set the permissions correct after moving my iPhoto library to an external FW drive. What I did was copy the entire iPhoto library to the external drive and then opened a Terminal, cd-ing to the FW drive and into the "iPhoto Library" directory. Then to change the permissions, I did:
    find . -type d -exec chmod a+rwx {} \;
    and
    find . -type f -exec chmod a+rw {} \;
    The first command gave read, write, and execute permission for the directories and the second gave read and write access to the regular files. The only thing I'm not sure about is what is going to happen when I add new pictures. Am I going to have to go through this again?

  • Sharing Itunes with another party on same computer

    I am currently sharing my itunes with my younger sister, on the same laptop, and she has her own different tast in music, as do I. So now, instead of listening to Death Cab for Cutie, I am stuck with her Pussycat Dolls, and Ludacris. I have tried different ways to resolve this, but I keep getting stuck with her music..Is there something I should be doing differently, or am I stuck listening to her terrible music????? Any ideas???

    Hey Boca Jr.,
    the easiest way will be starting iTunes 7 holding shift, this will let you create or select another library. Another option is create seperate playlists to sort the music.
    This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432 also has some tips that may help you.

  • Sharing music with other users on same computer...possible?

    I'd like to be able to share music between users who can log in on the same computer. Is this possible and how.
    I currently have all the music in the admiistrators log in and can't see it when I log in as a regular user.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi,
    Follow the instructions given in this article. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195
    You might also want to uncheck the preference in the other Users accounts to prevent them from adding the song file to the hard disk when importing music. This means that only YOU as the admin can add files to the Library. You will find this preference under iTunes in the menu bar, Click on the "Advanced" tab and then the "General" Tab.

  • HT201077 I added 500 photos to my photostream and shared them with another user. However, as soon as the other user accepted, the photos in my stream starting removing themselves until I only had 150 left, this is the number they received. Why did this ha

    .

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • How do I move organized photos from dropbox to iPhoto and share with another user on the same mac?

    I have about 3,500 photos sitting in dropbox and just purchased my first mac yesterday.  My husband and I each have our own Ipad and our own user id's on the mac.  I moved two of the folders to Iphoto and it shows up on my screen in the right folders.  However, on my Ipad, it shows all of them under one Photostream and not organized.  They don't show up on my husband's "side of the computer" at all. 
    So my questions are:
    1.  How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
    2.  How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
    Thanks!

    1.  How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
    If you use the Photo Stream, the organisation in iPhoto will be lost - there is just one endless stream.  YOu could sync your photos using iTunes. Then you will see the synced albums in the Photos.app on the iPad.
    See this link:   iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
    On the same iPad?  Do you mean on the same mac?
    If you want to share an iPhoto library between two users on the same mac, the iPhoto library should be on a separate disk partition or even better, on a separate external disk. Then you can set the flag "Ignore ownership on this volume" to avoid permission problems. Both of you will be able to browse the iPhoto library and can edit the photos within.
    See this support document:  iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    If both of you want to keep separate iPhoto libraries but share the photos, you could share selected albums as Shared PhotoStreams and invite each other to browse them. This would require iOS 7. Do you have iOS 7 on your iPad?  Each Shared Photo Stream will be shown as a separate album on your iPad .

  • Sharing address book with another account on same computer

    How do you simply share the Lion 10.7.1 address book with another user account on the same computer?

    miniman,
    I just double checked on my laptop that I share the music files with.
    When I did the steps from the above post, my music showed up just fine.
    The other account was blank as I didn't have any music in there anyway.
    All I had to do after the steps above was to "Add to Library" under the "File" menu. I then selected the entire "iTunes Music" folder in the shared library and added all the songs to it... Now you would not have to add all the songs if the other account didn't want them all.... So, you could be selective.
    Bottom Line.... It does work and then you only have one copy of the "iTunes Music" folder on the one hard drive... No duplicates....
    I did NOT have to have the box checked that said "Copy files to iTunes Music folder"..........
