My wife and I each have an iPhone. We share iPhoto and iTunes libraries. I can sync my iPhone without problems, but she can't sync photos. It keeps saying that she doesn't have permission. If we tell it not to sync photos, it will sync everything else fine.

We put our iTunes library into the Shared folder, turned on ACLs, and assigned both users to be able to read/write. We then aliased the appropriate files into our ~/Music/iTunes. This works great. We have identical music libraries, playlists, etc and it works just fine. We did the same thing with our iPhoto library.

I think it must have something to do with the way we have our libraries set up to share, but there must be lots of people that do this.


Any ideas?

My wife and I have a similar setup except we have seperate iTunes libraries but share an iPhoto library. I receive the same error if I try to sync any photos to her phone. I haven't tried further modifying the permissions but that was going to be my next step. In General I find Apple's lack of support for multiple user accounts sharing content between the iApps pretty poor. For all the talk about the easy to use multi-user interface they have very limited support when it comes to sharing content like this.
