iPhoto 6.0 Help
Sharing your photos between computers on a network
If your computer is connected to any other computers over a local network, you can share the photos in your library, albums, slideshows, books, calendars, and cards with up to five of those computers. The computers need to be in the same subnet as your computer (see the Network pane of System Preferences to see what subnet your computer is in).
To share your photos on a network:
- Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
- Click Sharing at the top of the Preferences window.
- Select the "Share my photos" checkbox, and then choose your entire library or only the albums, slideshows, or books you want to share.
- Type a name for your shared items in the "Shared name" field, and a password if desired.
The shared name you enter appears in the iPhoto Source list on computers set up to look for shared photos on your network. If you select "Require password," users will need to enter that password before they can see your shared photos.
You need to leave iPhoto open for users to see your shared library and albums on other computers.
