Two users, one library - how to share Mobile Me Galleries...how?

I have managed to get 2 users (both as admin) sharing my Aperture Library, which is great. But, given that we both have different MM accounts, the MM Galleries created by one user dont appear in the other users' Aperture. Any ideas on how to get not just Aperture libraries shared between 2 users, but the MM galleries as well?

I think the following will work, but it's a bit of a kludge:
1)User "Able": prior to publishing the MM Gallery, make an album with an appropriate name (example: "Portfolio1")and gather all of the images into the album, them publish as a MM Gallery. Quit Aperture.
) User "Baker": Open Aperture, select album Portfolio1 and publish as a MM Gallery.

  • Two users, one computer, can we share?

    Hello and thanks for any help. We got a new computer for Christmas that has two user "accounts" on it. My husband loaded iTunes into "his" side with no problem. I have iTunes, but can't get any of the music to show up on it, even though the computer shows that the files are being shared between the two users. I can add music to it with no issue, but can't access what was already in the library. It seems silly to load all the music in twice, but I will if I have no other option. Any ideas? Thanks.

    1 Quit iTunes.
    2 Drag your entire iTunes folder from /My Documents/My Music/ to a Shared directory.
    3 Log out.
    1 Log in on your other account(s).
    2 Start iTunes and immediately press an hold the Shift key.
    3 iTunes will ask to Create new library or Choose existing library. Select Choose existing library.
    4 Select the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder in /Users/Shared.
    5 Now go to File -> Add Folder to library and select the iTunes music folder located in /My Documents/My Music/iTunes.
    6 - iTunes will add all the music in from this account to the main iTunes music folder/library.
    7 Delete the iTunes folder in /My Documents/My Music/.
    8 Restart iTunes normally (don't hold Shift). Everything should be there.
    9 Quit iTunes and log out of the account.
    10 Do the above steps for all users. Don't do the first 1-3 steps. Start at the second series.
    Log into your account, start iTunes normally and all music should be there.
    Whenever any of you do anything in iTunes, it will be seen by all since you are using one and the same iTunes library file.
    Create a "main" playlist for each user with their own music. Create a smart playlist and set it to Playlist is not the playlist you created above. Select this and it will show you everything NOT in your playlist. Do the same for the others. This will help when adding only the music you want your own playlist.
    Note that iTunes can only be opened by one user at a time.

  • Two ID's, Two iPhones, One Library - Can they share Match?

    My wife and I have different ID's on our iPhones, but share the same music library.  Can we use the same iTunes match account with both iPhones while still maintaining separate ID's? 
    I would even be willing to pay for two accounts, if I had to, but that doesn't seem like that's an option, either, with one library.
    We are all figuring this out as we go, if anyone is trying to do what I'm doing, please let me know what solutions you have come up with.
    Thank you,
    Kevin

    I can only assume based on what you have said in your post that you and your wife have seperate iCloud accounts but use the same iTunes ID for purchases.  If this is the case, then yes you can use iTunes Match for both phones based on the one library.  Clarify some of the details and I can hopefully help you further, especially the details of phone accounts.  Do you share the same iTunes Apple ID for making purchases (music, apps, etc.) and have separate iCloud accounts?
    I hope this helps.

  • Two Users, One Library?

    My wife and I share a computer, and to make it easier for email and such I've created a login for her and one for myself. I moved the iTunes music folder to the Users/Shared directory so we both can share it from either login. But, is there any way to auto update each of our libraries when one of use imports new music. So if I import or buy a new album on my login, I want the new music to also show up in my wife's login.

    I have set up two users, one for myself and one for children.  The computer automatically logs in for the children with no password required.  When the children go to spotlight and type in a search criteria all of my files show and open up.  How do I prevent this?

    Log in to your account, and move all your files to your home folder. No other users should be able to access them there and they won't show up with a Spotlight search.
    Make sure your kids' account(s) do not have admin privileges.

  • HT1386 How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?

    How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?

    Try connecting the iPad to the computer that you do not want to WiFi sync with and uncheck the WiFi sync option in iTunes. Then click on Apply. Reboot the iPad and see if that does the trick.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Have two users one is a test one is mine all the sudden mine lost the applications folder and now when i open my user it opens but wont respond to anything and i have to power it down and restart any clues

    I have two users one is mine, one is a test i set up with apple care. Everything was working fine then i lost my applications folder icon on my user. I have been using the Finder to open applications, now when i open my user the mouse travels but i'm not able to get a respond from anything ,it's almost like its frozen. I have power off and restart and use the test user. Anyone have a clue or any ideas?

    You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
    If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive. 
    You can also boot into Safe mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
       1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
       2. Press the power button.
       3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
          Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
       4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
    Please post back with results,
    To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

  • One Computer, Two Users, Shared Library?

    I have searched around and haven't been able to find a direct answer to this...
    My wife and I have different user profiles. I use aperture for all our photo management. She just wants to have access to the library to make slideshows and DVD's (from her user profile).
    Can we set it up so that both users can have access to one, central, aperture library?
    If so, how?
    If no, why?
    Thanks for any help.

    WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
    ONE IMAC TWO USER ACCOUNTS WELL 4 IF YOU COUNT THE KIDS. THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO LIMIT ACCESS.
    I'VE BEEN USING APERTURE UNDER MY USER PROFILE. I THEN SET UP APERTURE IN MY WIFES DOCK. SEEMED TO WORK AT FIRST, THEN PREVIEWS WOULD NOT OPEN GRAYED AND RED ? MARKS. THEN IT STARTED TO OPEN PREVIEWS AT A SNAILS PACE. WHEN I WENT BACK TO MY USER ACCOUNT THE FOLDERS AND PROJECTS HAD ALL BEEN CHANGED.
    WE WANT THE LIBRARY TO BE THE SAME FOR BOTH OF US, SO WE CAN BOTH WORK ON IT A DIFFERENT TIMES FROM OUR OWN USER ACCOUNT. ONE COMPUTER ONE LIBRARY ONE USER AT ONE TIME. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER HARD DISK AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE A 500GIG AND THAT'S BIG ENOUGH TO DO WHAT WE WANT .
    I THOUGHT OF SETTING UP AN ADDITIONAL USER CALLED APERTURE4 BUT THAT'S NOT HOW WE WANT TO USE OUR PHOTO'S. I THINK IPHOTO WAS ACTUALY WORKING BETTER. WE ARE USING VERSION 1.5.2
    I GUESS THE OTHER BIG QUESTION IS HOW SHOULD WE SET THIS UP. WE ALREADY HAVE OVER 1100 PHOTOS AND IT'S BEEN ONE WEEK
    THANKS , MARK

  • How do I create separate playlists for two ipods/one library and them sync them?

    I have an older classic ipod, my daughter has an older nano.  I got new laptop and have managed to sync my ipod and ipad with success, as well as move my library from old pc to new laptop.  Now I am trying to update and sync my daughter's ipod.  It says that it is synced but nothing changes.  I believe I had set up two different libraries on the old pc, and so certain cds had been copied into her library.  I can't find them in the earlier mentioned transfered library.  That's not a big deal, as I can just use those cds to add them back in later (more work though).  I've read older community posts on my issue, but any article links on how-to are too old, I guess.  I like the idea of using just one library and creating playlists for each ipod to sync to, but cannot figure out how to do this.  Also, do I need to restore my daughter's ipod to get the ball rolling?  She's taken a couple of videos she likes and I'm not sure I want to lose it in the restore.  Any advice greatly appreciated. 

    Hey puckaluck8,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The following article provides different methods for managing multiple devices with one computer:

    You mentioned syncing separate playlists, which is definitely a good method. The other option you may want to consider is called "Manually Syncing", which you can read about here:

  • One Mac, Two Users, One shared Aperture Library

    Hello
    I recently bought a new DSLR camera. As the camera is much more advanced comapred to my former one I also wanted to improve my editing capabilties by switching from iPhoto to Aperture.
    I (USER 1) started Aperture, created a new library in the same directory my iPhoto library is stored in, chose "Import -> iPhoto library -> keep files in the original location"...a couple of hours later the library was indexed and usable.
    Now I wanted to take the next step. To optimize disk storage and to avoid duplicates the iPhoto library was used by two users, the imports, edits... one user made were available to the other user (on the same Mac) and vice versa. The idea was to do the same under Aperture. So USER 1 assigned "read & write" rights on my library file to USER 2 as well (as I said, file is stored in the same location as the iPhoto library where 2 users, 1 library already worked). I signed in as USER 2, started Aperture and first had to create a new library file. Then I changed the library file to USER 1's (shared) library. This worked in prnciple, however "Projects", "Faces"... were not displayed. Aperture showed as many blank fields as USER 1's library contains pictures. Some pictures were displayed after a couple of minutes but the system didn't appear as if it would also try to make the remaining pictures available. So I checked access rights on the library file again (USER 2 had all rights required), closed Aperture on USER 2, reopened Aperture under USER 2 and got the message, that access rights are not sufficient to access the library file of USER 1.
    What am I doing wrong? Could it be that what is possible under iPhoto (2 users, 1 Mac, 1 shared library file) is not possible under Aperture?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Update:
    I installed Windows via Bootcamp, added a second partition to the system. It worked, Windows took ages to download all the required updates but anyway, it worked. So I started up again with OS X Lion, now splitting my OS X partition into two (than had 2 OS X and 1 Windows partition) and adding all my iTunes content to the second. Then I created a new Apperture libary on that second partition, imported all the projects into it and, hey, it worked as well, no files showed "unsupported file format" anymore. So I thought I was through it all...but only until I tried to start from the Windows partition again, it didn't work. Under OS X I could see the Windows partition and all it's content, however the Bootmanager didn't provide the option to startup with Windows. So I had to clean the second OS X partition again, deleting the Bootcamp partition and then doing all the painfull Windows installation again. Now I'm at the point where I have 1 Mac OS X Lion partiton and a Bootcamp partition containing Windows 7...
    Now my question: Could it be, that Bootcamp 4 under OS X lion can not run Windows on another partition than the second one? In other words: If I now split my OS X partition into two to have all the iTunes and Apperture content on this second partition, will the third partition (Bootcamp) again not work anylonger? The Bootcamp help is not very precise in this point, it only talks about the installation process of Windows 7 that is only running when there is only one OS X partition, it does not at all say that - after installing Windows on the Bootcamp partition - the OS X partition must not be changed to prevent Windows from "dying". Does anyone out there have any experience on this, what will happen if I now split my OS X partiton into two with the second partition only containing iTunes and Apperture content and "ignore ownership" enabled? WIll Windows die again or did I do something wrong with my first try?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
