Best practices for sharing iPhoto libraries across multiple Macs

I have a pair of iMacs running 10.6.x. and iPhoto 11 connected via Ethernet to an Airport Extreme. I am looking for a way to share my iPhoto library between the two Macs.
I found an Apple Support note on the topic (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198) which states that a disk image is a supported location for a shared iPhoto library (with limitations acceptable to me) and it strikes me that this would be a way of hosting a shared iPhoto library onto a NAS device.
Am I missing a simpler solution or, more importantly, am I missing any blindingly obvious caveats? I'd love to hear from anybody who has tried this (successfully or otherwise) or anybody who has a better idea. I haven't bought a NAS device yet, so I'm open to alternative suggestions.
Specific requirements:
Members of my family use either one of a pair of iMacs.
The only user who edits the iPhoto library is me and I only need read/write access from one machine.
iPhoto library access limited to one user at a time is acceptable and practical in my case.

Easiest:
If the other users only get to see the Library then just use iPhoto Sharing.
Enable sharing in the iPhoto Preferences on the Host machine, then go to the other macgine and in the same location enable 'Look for Shared Libraries'
Other forms of sharing will give the users read/write access to the Library.
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

  • What is the best strategy for sharing iPhoto libraries between two macs?

    I have an iMac and a new Airbook.  I want to keep my iMac as the"main" iPhoto location, but want to also keep copies of the photos on my Airbook. 
    I could copy the library from one to the other to get the photos into the Airbook initially, but then how would I get subsequent ones in there?  Is there a way to sync these two computers so that the photos flow from one to the other?  One-way syncing would be ok...
    Thanks.
    Oh - and I use MobileMe if that helps.

    There is an application that can sync two iPhoto libraries.  It's SyncPhotos
    Here's how it works: 
    1 - it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B. 
    2 - the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.  
    3 - it then does the same for B. 
    4 - metadata is not copied nor are Faces or Places. 
    It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.
    If you want to copy selected Events or Album from one to the other and keep the metadata, faces and places intact, you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager.  You would have to manually select the event/album to copy from A to B and do the same for B to A.

  • Best practice for TM on AEBS with multiple macs

    Like many others, I just plugged a WD 1TB drive (mac ready) into the AEBS and started TM.
    But in reading here and elsewhere I'm realizing that there might be a better way.
    I'd like suggestions for best practices on how to setup the external drive.
    The environment is...
    ...G4 Mac mini, 10.4 PPC - this is the system I'm moving from, it has all iPhotos, iTunes, and it being left untouched until I get all the TM/backup setup and tested. But it will got to 10.5 eventually.
    ...Intel iMac, 10.5 soon to be 10.6
    ...Intel Mac mini, 10.5, soon to be 10.6
    ...AEBS with (mac ready) WD-1TB usb attached drive.
    What I'd like to do...
    ...use the one WD-1TB drive for all three backups, AND keep a copy of system and iLife DVD's to recover from.
    From what I'm reading, I should have a separate partition for each mac's TM to backup to.
    The first question is partitioning... disk utility see's my iMac's internal HD&DVD, but doesn't see the WD-1TB on the AEBS. (when TM is activity it will appear in disk utility, but when TM ends, it drops off the disk utility list).
    I guess I have to connect it via USB to the iMac for the partitioning, right?
    I've also read the benefits of keeping a copy of the install DVD's on the external drive... but this raises more questions.
    How do I get an image of the install DVD onto the 1TB drive?
    How do I do that? (install?, ISO image?, straight copy?)
    And what about the 2nd disk (for iLife?) - same partition, a different one, ISO image, straight copy?
    Can I actually boot from the external WD 1TB while it it connected to the AEBS, or do I have to temporarily plug it in via USB?
    And if I have to boot the O/S from USB, once I load it and it wants to restore from the TM, do I leave it USB or move it to the AEBS? (I've heard the way the backups are created differ local vs network)>
    I know its a lot of question but here are the two objectives...
    1. Use TM in typical fashion, to recover the occasion deleted file.
    2. The ability to perform a bare-metal point-in-time recovery (not always to the very last backup, but sometimes to a day or two before.)

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    You can, but you really only need a separate partition for the Mac that's backing-up directly. It won't have a Sparse Bundle, but a Backups.backupdb folder, and if you ever have or want to delete all of them (new Mac, certain hardware repairs, etc.) you can just erase the partition.
    The first question is partitioning... disk utility see's my iMac's internal HD&DVD, but doesn't see the WD-1TB on the AEBS. (when TM is activity it will appear in disk utility, but when TM ends, it drops off the disk utility list).

    Right.
    I've also read the benefits of keeping a copy of the install DVD's on the external drive... but this raises more questions.
    Can I actually boot from the external WD 1TB while it it connected to the AEBS, or do I have to temporarily plug it in via USB?
    I don't think so. I've never tried it, but even if it works, it will be very slow. So connect via F/W or USB (the PPC Mac probably can't boot from USB, but the Intels can).
    And if I have to boot the O/S from USB, once I load it and it wants to restore from the TM, do I leave it USB or move it to the AEBS? (I've heard the way the backups are created differ local vs network)
    That's actually two different questions. To do a full system restore, you don't load OSX at all, but you do need the Leopard Install disc, because it has the installer. See item #14 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    If for some reason you do install OSX, then you can either "transfer" (as part of the installation) or "Migrate" (after restarting, via the Migration Assistant app in your Applications/Utilities folder) from your TM backups. See the *Erase, Install, & Migrate* section of the Glenn Carter - Restoring Your Entire System / Time Machine *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    In either case, If the backups were done wirelessly, you must transfer/migrate wirelessly (although you can speed it up by connecting via Ethernet).

  • Best practice for sharing LOV's over multiple Application Definitions?

    We want to define/generate (complex) LOV's in 1 place and use them in multiple sub-applications (different application definition files).
    What is the best practive to accomplish this?
    Frank

    Frank,
    Here is what you do:
    - Generate the LOV the "normal" way using your first app def file
    - In all other app def files, you create a "dummy" LOV group by the same name with the same items, so you can associate items with the LOV and specifiy return values
    - For each "dummy" LOV group uncheck the checkboxes "Generate Pages", "Generate Page Definitions" and "Generate Controller Group". (only visible in expert mode)
    - Make sure you first generate the first app def file before you run the [ages generated by other app def files.

  • Best practices for referencing external video across multiple computers

    I have made a .swf that references an external .f4v .  The swf plays fine on my own computer, but does not play on a colleagues computer, or another computer which we tested.  The file is not for upload to web , it is for local playback.  I assume this is a file path issue, but I have tried many different things including specifying a path and then recreating the same directory structure on the other computer.  What am I missing?  The f4v file can playback on the colleagues computer (I did install ffdshow , although another tested mp4 also plays back fine) but not the .swf.  Please , any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

    This could be a security context issue, is it possible on your own machine you have allowed access to that file or folder containing the F4V file, maybe using the global-security-settings in flash player? Have a read of the following just in case:

  • Best practice for sharing data with model window

    Hi team,
    what would the best practice for sharing data with a modal
    window be ? I use a modal window to display record details from a
    record list, but i am not quite sure how to access the data from
    the components in the main application in the modal window.
    Any hints would be welcome
    Best
    Frank

    Pass a reference to the parent into the modal popup. Then you
    can reference anything in the parent scope.
    I haven't done this i 2.0 yet so I can't give you code. I'll
    post if I do.
    Oh, also, you can reference the parent using parentDocument.
    So in the popup you could do:
    parentDocument.myPublicVariable = "whatever";

  • Best Practices for sharing media with iMovie and FCPX

    So I've a large iMovie Events directory, and would like to use that media with both iMovie and FCPX projects.
    I'd rather not duplicate the media, so would prefer to import as references into FCPX.
    The dilemma is that I see that it's possible to modify or move media from within the iMovie application, and therefore break the reference to that media with FCPX.
    I only see two options:  (1) Never Ever modify the location/name of media in the iMovie Events file (even from within the iMovie app) since I would break an FCPX link if that media is referenced, or (2) always import (copy) the iMovie events into the FCPX Event Library making an independent original so that I can confidently operate on those media files in either application.
    I'd surely rather not have to do (2 )(e.g. doubling my storage demands) to gain the flexibility of using either application to edit the video, but really don't want to live with the restrictions of (1).
    Thoughts / Solutions?  What might you consider as options or best practices?

    Unless there is some other reason, users should own the right to share their mailboxes - it shouldn't be something that demands administrator management (if only so that the administrators aren't swamped by user requests for sharing their mailboxes). 
    For true shared mailboxes, when the mailbox is created, full access is granted by an administrator.

  • Best Practice for re-usable forms in multiple Countries

    Dear experts,
    i'm seeking for suggestions about the best design which could help saving time on development for multiple forms i should produce for a multi-national client.
    In more details, the client is asking to create a number of forms in the SD area (Order advice, delivery note/Bill of Lading, Payment slips and in particular Billing outputs) for different Countries in North and South America.
    I'm striving to avoid creating separate forms for separate Countries, as ideally i'd want to create just one form per type (i.e. one form for Billing, one form for Delivery note...) and re-use the same forms for all Countries, where specific data should differ from one Country to the other.
    We've been working on similar topics in the past, adding some logic behind some texts which we've made "parametric", meaning different standard texts are printed in the same box depending on some organizational values (i.e. sales organization or company code), but we're looking for something "smarter", where having different pricing structures in different Ctries, for instance, might still work if those Conutries use the same billing form
    Is there any best practice you'd like to share with me with regards to this? Is there any new functionality SAP has delivered recently which helps in this direction?
    Many thanks to all who will want to reply to my weird question.
    Regards,
    Fabio

    Hi Scott.
    Storing two columns of spatial data is fine in SQL Server. And you are correct that there is no built-in reprojection in SQL Server, most folks do that as part of data loading. There was talk of porting parts of ogr2ogr to SQLCLR, but I don't think anyone
    did that.

  • Best practices for sharing mailboxes

    Hello,
    To share mailboxes, I am not sure of the 'best practices'. 
    From my point of view, there are two scenarios :
    classic mailbox : an user A wants to share his mailbox so it assigns rights on his mailbox for an userB via Outlook. The userB will add the userA's mailbox to his profile
    shared mailbox : the rights are managed by the administrator
    Is it correct to divide the management (i.e classic user manages his own mailbox and the administrator manages rights on shared mailbox) or is not ?
    And the delegation functionnality in Outlook is not really what I want because the userB must have only access to the mailbox (+calendar+contacts) but he hasn't to manage the appointments, etc.
    Thanks for your help

    Unless there is some other reason, users should own the right to share their mailboxes - it shouldn't be something that demands administrator management (if only so that the administrators aren't swamped by user requests for sharing their mailboxes).

  • Best Practice for Shared Contacts available as an Address Book in Outlook??

    Yep so crazy that Microsoft still refuses (by design) to enable address book option for Shared contacts!!!!!!!  So I am asking what do they suggest then for my clients to have a shared contact list that is available as an address book and available
    to sync to your phone?
    Problem:
    I have a client that the boss has a contact list in his outlook that he has synced to his phone that is shared so that everyone else on his team can see the contacts, since it is a shared contact list users are not able to add it to their address book (by
    design..nice design)
    Solutions I know of:
    1.Use public folder for contact list...= Nope public folder contact list will not sync with his iphone/ipad...(yes there are 3rd party tools but I would prefer to not go this route)
    2.Sharepoint....I have heard this one but don't know much about it.   How does it sync to outlook and phones?  Is it seemless?  can user add contacts in outlook?
    3. ??
    Seems like this would be a huge issue that microsoft would have fixed by now.  Let me know if anyone has any ideas... 
    Sbs 2003 I will miss you !!!!

  • Best Practices for viewing home video on my Mac

    Come on people - THERE HAS TO BE A BEST PRACTICE out there for storing and viewing family video!!
    I'm the typical dad out there taking photos and video of my kids playing soccer, family trips ect ...
    When I get home I hook my camera up to my MacMini (which is hooked up to my Plasma TV - and backed up to an external HD) and within mere seconds, my photos are nicely captured in iPhoto. Friends and family come over, I flip on the MacMini, select iPhoto (or Front Row) and we enjoy great slide shows.
    I want to be able to have the same easy access to my videos -flip on my MacMini, start Front Row, view my various home movies, pick one and enjoy the show.
    What is the best way to do this?
    Current Technology
    Canon HV20
    iMovie 08
    iPhoto 08
    Front Row

    Thanks for the welcome WC! And thanks for the initial help.
    I have never exported video before (sad but true), so I have a couple "Workflow" questions for you or anyone else that knows this stuff
    1) Should I assume I just hook my firewire up from my Canon to the MacMini and everything just starts to export?
    2) Once exported into iMovie, I assume I can edit out some of the garbage (example - my wife sometimes forgets to turn off the camcorder and she'll video her leg or the ground for minutes at a time - I'd like to trash that.
    3) Once edited, how do I move it into iTunes?
    I will probably need to take an iMovie class ...

  • Is there a best practice for multi location server setups including mac mail server?

    Afternoon all,
    Last year I setup a client with Snow Leopard Server including hosting his mail on the server with Mac Mail Server and calendaring.  He now has plans to open other sites with the same setup, how can this be done using Mac Server?  The implementation of a new server on the new site would be straight forward my concerns / question are:
    1. How would the two servers communicate?
        a.)Do they need to communicate?
    3. How will mail across the two sites work?
        a.) How will DNS work for email internally?
        b.) How will DNS work for emai externally?
    4.  How will calendaring work across the two sites?
    Is Mac Server the best platform for moving ahead with this type of business need?
    Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Anthony

    Camelot,
    many thanks for the speedy reply.  Your comments are very helpful thank you, if I may I will give you some for information and some other questions.
    The offices will be from 5 miles to 25 miles apart, the new office and ones that follow will be considered as branches of the main office for example the company name is Sunflower and it serves area 1, then new will office will serve area 2 and so on.  So in theory I could leave the main server domain and mail mx record as sunflower and then add further servers as 2.sunflower.com, 3.sunflower.com as domains and mx records? This would then provide unique mail records and users within the organisation such as [email protected] and [email protected], which doesnt look to good I would prefer all users to be name@sunflower how can this be acheived?
    With regard to user activity in the whole users will be fixed but their will be floaters such as managers and the owners that may at times float from one office to the other and would beneift from logging into any machine and getting their profile.
    I have thought about VPN's as I have acheieved this type of setup with Microsoft server products, I have found speed issues in some cases, how can this be acheived using OS X, are there any how to docs around?  In the Microsoft setup I acheived this using netgear VPN Firewalls which ofcourse adds an overhead, can this be acheived using OS X propietary VPN software?
    So ultimatley I would prefer to have the one domain without subs "sunflower.com" and users to be able to login to their profiles from either location. The main location now will remain as headoffice and the primary location and the new will be satelites.
    I hope that covers all of your other question, again many thanks for your comments and time.
    Kind Regards
    Anthony

  • Best practices for sharing a SAN-attached tape loader between servers.

    When configuring zones to allow a tape loader to be shared by multiple servers, is there a preferred zoning method?
    For instance, I have my primary fabric configured so that the zone for each data server using a LUN on my array consists of the primary port of the HBA on the server and the primary port of the HBA for each controller on my array.
    My backup server does not use any LUNs on the array, so its zone consists solely of its primary HBA port and the HBA port of the tape loader.
    If I want give my data servers access to the tape loader, should I add the tape loader's port to the zone of each server, or should I add the port of each server to the zone that currently consists of only the backup server and the tape loader?
    Or does it matter?
    The network is small:
    One Windows server dedicated to backup, three NetWare servers handling data storage and 12 other VM servers running a mixture of Linux, NetWare, and Windows that handle various services but don't contain any significant amounts of data.
    My intent is to give the 3 data servers access to the tape loader directly, so that their backup streams don't involve the LAN.
    The remaining servers are small enough that backing them up over the LAN is not an issue.
    I doubt that it matters for this, but the SAN switches are MDS9124's and the SAN array is an HDS AMS2100 with active/active controllers.
    All server HBA's are dual port, as are the HBA's on each array controller.
    In addition to the primary zone, each server and the array controllers are attached to a failover zone via the 2nd port of the HBA's.
    Unfortunately, my backup software doesn't support NDMP, so I can't back up the array LUN's directly to the tape loader.

    NDMP is for backing up NAS platforms.
    Does your backup software support "LAN-Free" backup ? Typically enterprise backup software like Netbackup, TSM, Networker require a special license/agent that gets loaded on server where you are going to implement LAN-Free backups. Without that software/license servers will be fighting for tape resources and it will be a mess (if it works at all). Also you want to use dedicated HBA or port on dual HBA for tape traffic, do not mix tape and disk traffic on the same HBA/port. In big shops people configure dedicated "tape" VSANs but that would be an overkill for your current environment.

  • Best practice for dividing IPhoto library

    My wife and I have been using IPhoto since 2004, and are faced with the prospect of dividing the 40,000 photo library into smaller libraries. A Genius Bar session was only partially helpful. Last year we moved IPhoto off the IMac hard drive to an external harddrive. The Genius Bar employee created four new library folders on the external drive. We are thinking we need to get the IPhoto original library back on the IMac, so that it is accessible to ICloud. We are looking for a source of print guidance that can help us navigate these kinds of questions. We are also looking locally (in Tucson) for a coach who can help us get the logistics of library development started.

    Why do you thing you need to divide the library into smaller ones?  The  latest version of iPhoto can handle libraries with up to 1 M photos.  There's no need to move the library back to the boot drive to have it accessable to iCloud.  iCloud works with the library that's active. 
    What do you mean by library development?  You have a working library on an EHD so that's all you need. This Apple document gives the system requirements for iCloud: iCloud: System requirements
