I can't figure out how to use my iLife programs between 2 different user accounts & it's driving me crazy. The current one that's bothering me is iWeb where one acct created a website but User B can't do anything to it.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm sure it's blaringly obvious, but I'm a newbie.

Thanks,
SCStevens

You should make sure that all your iWeb created user files are in a shared folder. Since users cannot access each others private folders, you need to save those files in a folder on the HD which everybody can access. Also make sure that the user permissions for everything in that folder has read/write on them.

Thanks for the help, I may be fixed up now for iWeb.

My next biggest thorn in User A setting up iPhoto on her ID, but User B not seeing on his logon. Similar solution?

Is it the same for Garageband, iMovie?
