Ahh, the neverending questions of a n00b Mac user. New iMac G5 20", gig of RAM, Tiger.
I want to share my iPhoto library with another account on my iMac, and so I looked online and found that the easiest way to do it was to have one iPhoto library in a folder instead of two separate ones that I would have to be constantly updating (uploading photos to one, switching over to the over, uploading photos to that, wash, rinse, repeat). So I moved the iPhoto Library to Shared documents, made sure that everyone on the computer has permission to "Read and Write" it, and all was fine. I could easily access the same library from the two accounts. But today when I fired up iPhoto from one account, it worked all right, but when I switched back to my account and opened the app, I got an error message that said "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." before promptly quitting. The iPhoto library is in the shared documents, and the permissions are the same as they were before. What happened? |

Oh crap, I'm so stupid. iPhoto was just open on the other account, and once I closed it, it worked fine.
Still was a pretty tricky message though. Admins, you can delete this if you want. |
