I'm a new Mac user (iMac) who is diving in "heads first" into the new world (for me, at least) of OS X, Tiger, Mac Apps, etc. Things are going great - but I have an annoying question that I'm sure there is an easy answer for - but I just can't seem to find it.
On my iMac - I have my account (Administrator) and my wife's account (standard). I like the fact my wife can't "mess" with the operating system - but I would like for her to have access to our gallery of pics and movies - which is currently housed in my iPhoto and iMovie. Is there a way she can access these specific applications (with all the data therein) without giving her complete access to my account (login, password, etc)? I suppose I could "copy" all data into her personal iPhoto and iMovie applications - but that seems like a lot of wasted memory to me. I've read a little about "sharing" pics, etc - but that would require my account to be open at the same time (I think).
Anyone got any advice? I appreciate the help. Thanks!!
