Hello there,
I am getting my first mac for christmas (a 24" imac) and am planning to set up 3 accounts :
1 for me (admin)
Another one for me (standard)
1 for my brother (standard)
I plan to use the standard one for me as my main account but when installing apps and the like plan to switch to the admin one. What i was wondering is, as far as a i can tell from apple is that if i put music on my standard account my brother would not be able to see the music files, the same for pictures and movies. I would like to be able to share the music files and some pictures across both of our accounts. Would putting the music in itunes from the admin account make this possible and what about pictures? I would also like to keep some pictures private, as would he. What can you suggest i do as apple cant seem to give me a straight answer.
Many Thanks, Jack
