Hi guys,
How do I do this in Leopard's Guest Account?

I have my iLife content in my main account (Admin account), but I want the content (iTunes, iPhoto, Garageband, iMovie stuff) to be accessible by the Guest account as well.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Much help would be appreciated! Thanks

You keep iTunes and iPhoto running in your regular account and fast user switch to the guest account.

What about the iMovie and my stuff in Garageband?

How do I share it to the new Guest Account as well?

You need to get info on the pictures and music folders and change permissions to make them accessible to the guest account (normally other accounts do not have access to other accounts).

Then launch iphoto with the option key held down and point iPhoto to the iPhoto library on your main account instead of the library on your guest account.

Do the same with iTunes,
