Instead of using an external drive, I repartitioned the hard drive on the Mac mini because I only have a hundred gigabytes or so of photos. IPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users I've tried the hack Apple suggested for iPhoto, too. There is the solution listed above to create an Access Control List and put the Photos library in the Shared folder, but I don't think I'm alone in having serious permissions issues resulting from trying to use the Shared folder to. Only if indifference is an oversight, I think. So short of using the same AppleID, is there really no way for families to share a single iCloud Photo Library? Seems like quite an oversight. My guess is that this is what will happen with Aperture as well (hopefully with same solution). Clicked that, and iPhoto 9.6.1 downloaded. Iphoto 9.6.1 no favorites download#I deleted iPhoto, opened the App Store, then Purchases showed Download for iPhoto. Iphoto 9.6.1 no favorites update#It appears the update function on the App Store is borked (at least regarding iPhoto). So now I'm really reluctant to update the rest of my machines where we actually do use iPhoto and Aperture for fear that we'll be forced into using Photos right away, despite Apple's apparently Obama-like promises ("If you like your iPhoto, you can keep your iPhoto"). When I click the Update button, though, the Update button just turns lighter gray and the spinner in the upper left window corner spins for a few seconds and goes away. However, when I go to my Purchases in the App Store on the MBA, I see iPhoto listed, with the Update button next to it. Now, it was my understanding that if you had "bought" (in the case of iPhoto) or really bought Aperture, you could still download it, even if you couldn't purchase it in the App Store any more. iPhoto had been on this machine, even if I hadn't used it on there. Today I updated my Mavericks MBA to Yosemite (10.10.3). OK, here's another question: I've held off on updating to Yosemite until some of the bugs were addressed. IPhoto still works, just don't launch Photos until you're ready to switch: it will only import your iPhoto library the first time you launch it, and any changes you make in iPhoto after that will be invisible to Photos. I don't want to force myself into a corner until this thing settles down. One thing to note is that both iPhoto and Photos seem to only pull down from Photo Stream for the appleID of the user that is currently running the application.Ĭan one run iPhoto on 10.10.3? I want to update the OS, but this thread is not giving me the warm fuzzy feeling about Photos. This is what I wrote up for a previous similar question. I have previously had it in /Users/Shared and used ACLs to allow us to both read/write to our old iPhoto library, but I swapped out for an SSD and library was too large. Currently our library is on an external drive with ignore ownership enabled in the volume's Get Info window. ![]() As long as we are careful not to both run Photos at the same time, it works fine for us. My wife and I share an iMac using Fast User Switching. Iphoto 9.6.1 no favorites plus#On the plus side, Apple can gouge even more people for online storage of photos, so there is that. The bone we get tossed is the joint album in Family Sharing. It's like Apple is overrun with solipsists. Only your primary account can use Photos, so you can't create a second account like I did to share a family address book. It looks like multiple machines can access an iCloud photo library, but what if the other people have their own icloud accounts? ![]() If we could share a photo library we'd both be a lot happier. I have about 300Gb of pics in aperture libraries that are currently somewhat useless because Mrs un didn't like the Aperture UI, and made me get the photos she wanted. One question I haven't seen answered is what if you have multiple people who want to access the photo library. ![]()
