Ssharehare files between different users on the one Mac

How can I share in read/write directories (e.g. documents, pictures. I got an iMac with an SSD and a hard drive. Shared and Public are located in the SSD, which I want to avoid to use.I want shared directories on the hard drive.  I also looked at a previous response recommending Sharepoint, which doesn't work either, at it states in the doc that sharing applies only to the directory shared, not including subfolders. 

i got arround it by emailing it to my yahoo account and then going into her user area, and accsessing my self sent email from her safari, then chose save attachment to desktop and bingo. But that sure seems like a lot of work to me..
But it has worked.

  • How do i move photos between differant users on the same mac

    I am trying to copy some photos from iphoto and move them to another user on the same mac. Can anyone help please?

    Hello Whigged-out,
    It sounds like you would like to share one library between two different users on your iMac.  I found an article with steps you can take to accomplish this:

  • Sharing files and iCal events between different users (accounts) on one Mac

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac with Leopard. I have two accounts on this machine: one for myself and one for my girlfriend. I want to share files with her such as iPhoto events (so I don't have to import photos twice), iCal events (so I don't have to send her an email to synch our calendars), music from iTunes and other files.
    Does anyone know how to easily do this? I have tried the drop folder for sharing but it only appears across a network if I am logged in and won't transfer to different users.
    Daniel

    thanks, zevoneer. apparently, I gave up too early in my own search. I'm trying it now - the copy process is taking some time. Well, I had hoped to narrow the access down to only one other account but at least this should provide the access that is needed.

  • HT3819 How do I share music between different users on the same computer?

    I understand Home Sharing helps me share music across different computers.  How do I share between different users on the same computer?  We have a few instances of iTunes on a single computer and have to download from the same CD each time.  I must be doing something wrong - seems crazy to have several copies of the same song on one hard-drive when Home Share allows for sharing across computers - how do I share within the same computer?  Please outline specific steps.  THANKS.

  • 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.

  • Share a library between two users on the same mac?

    It is possible to share a library between two users on the same mac?

    It's doable. As it's been pointed out Aperture has no provisions for file locking so you can't have two users accessing the library at the same time. This includes having one user having the library open only for browsing. Aperture doesn't have a +Read Only+ mode, when it opens the library, even if you make no changes to any images, the library will be written to.
    This also means you can't have one user open the library and then stop using Aperture but still have the library open and then have another copy of Aperture open on the library.
    Of course if you have two copies of Aperture running even they are on different libraries you'll be in violation of the license and you'll have bigger problems to worry about then a toasted library.

  • How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
    The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
    The second is a bit trickier.

  • Is there a way to be able to Edit pictures between different accounts on the same Mac?

    Is there a way to be able to Edit pictures between different accounts on the same Mac?

    What does 'edit pictures between different accounts' mean?
    You can edit photos in each account. You can share the Library so the same library is available in all accounts. But I'm not sure what you're asking for.

  • How can I sync the same iTunes 11 library between 2 users on the same Mac?

    With iTunes 10 I was able to have one main iTunes library under one user and have a second user (on the same Mac) access it by putting an alias of the iTunes Libray.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml files in the second user's iTunes folder.  This ensured that the library remained synced regardless of which user added or made changes to it.  With iTunes 11, I am no longer able to do this.  If I try I get the following error pop up:  'The iTunes application could not be opened.  An unknown error occured (13014)'.  If I delete the aliases in the second user's account the error message goes away but nothing shows up in the main iTunes window.
    I've been able to at least access the iTunes library (which is stored on an external drive) with the second user by changing the iTunes media folder location in advanced preferences to the main iTunes library and then selecting file/add to library and selecting the iTunes media file which (eventually) pulls up all the song/movie/apps etc. information.  However, the 2 libraries do not remain synced (i.e. a change in one does not show up in the other).
    Anyone know of a way to get one library to remain synced between 2 user accounts on the same machine with iTunes 11 or am I going to be forced to delete and recreate the second user's iTunes info frequently to 'catch up' with the original?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm surprised the alias method worked, and it certainly isn't the prescribed method.

  • 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)

  • How can I share a folder between two users on the same mac?

    Hi all,
    I would like to share a folder between multiple users on the same macbook without having to transfer the folder to the Public/Shared folder.
    Is there not a way, using the the folders shared permissions, to allow shared folders from one user to be visible and usable by another user on the same mac without having to move the folder to a designated shared location?
    Regards,
    Caleb

    Thanks, but do you have to do that every time you share a folder?
    No, you just need to do it once and that's it. Anything that is in the Shared folder is accessible by all user accounts within the same Mac.

    I've read numerous 'how to share a folder' blogs and they just say it's as simple as clicking 'share' and allowing specific users to access it...none have mentioned this (not saying your advice is wrong at all, just don't get why no-one else has mentioned what appears to be a key step!)
    Can you give me an example of such a blog. I suspect you may have mis-understood what they were saying but if you can provide a link, I'll look at it.

  • How do I copy backed-up files from an external hard drive back to my MBA, but under a different user than the one from which they were backed up?

    On the advice of the Chicago Mac Genius Bar, in order to get better performance on my few years old MBA, I copied my Home folders (but not Library) to an external hard drive, created a new user, deleted the old user, and tried to copy the Home folder contents from the external hard drive back to the MBA under the new user. However, I get an error message and can't open most of the folders on the external hard drive (e.g. "The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.") Help! Thanks.

    As captfred says, yes (as long as the drive is formatted for a Mac, not Windoze).

  • Share the same files to different users over the network

    Hi,
    I have a server running in my home network and want to share my photos accross the network. The photos have to be accessable from linux and windows clients and from different user accounts. The filesystem to share is btrfs right now. I would like to stick to it, but if this should turn out to be an issue, I will change it to s.th. else. I could use samba with a dedicated samba user or ftp, but both solutions feel hacky to me. Is there a better approach to the problem?
    Thanks,
    Wolfgang

    Personally I'd go with an ftp server since I got that to work in the past but samba might do a decent job, too (don't know, never used it). But you can also just set up a web server to share your pics (maybe with a nice gallery web app?). The technology used itself does not matter that much.
    Now, on to the important question: What about security? Do you need some kind of authentication or can you get away without any login stuff (since no bad guys can connect to your network anyway)?
    FYI I used vsftp and pam as described at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/centos-re … users.html to get my ftp server running. You might be able to expand this to other solutions as well. I had to password protect my ftp server since I wanted to have write permission, too. For read only I might have been fine with anonymous ftp back then.
