Got my new imac and i love it!! Just a few questions:
1/ I would like to set up shared music folder for all users so instead of using the default users>[user name]>music>itunes>itunes music i'd like to use users>shared>music>itunes>itunes music. This would mean that all users of the computer had the same itunes library which would be good for me. At the moment I have added the shared music folder but only one user has read/write access to all the folders within it. I changed the sharing settings through system preferences but this doesn't change the settings for all the artists/albums/songs within the itunes music forum, only for the whole folder!! Driving me crazy. If I was to go back to keeping the music in each users folder, it would be an exact copy so more HD space would be used up - pointlessly!
Can you also do the same for iPhoto (i have not tried out iPhoto yet) and have like a family photos folder with read/write access for every user.
I would like the above to kind of work a bit like Shared Documents in Windows if anyone is familiar with it.
2/ How do I add my iMac to an existing workgroup with 2 PC's on it?
3/ I asked this elsewhere but i'll ask here again - How do I share the address book between users? Without using .Mac. Also is it possible to do the same for iCal so that you can have a shared calendar that anyone can change?
I will probably have more questions sometime but answers to the above would put my mind at peace!
Thank you all. I'm grateful for any replies!
