Consolidate two sites from two machines

I have two sites under the same .Mac account. They were set up using iWeb on two different machines. Is there a way to consolidate the two sites on to one machine?
Thanks,
Ken

I don't you can do that. Each of your machine has its own '~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites'
You may keep both of them on one machine, and use 'Domains Juggler' to work on one at a time.
You can find 'Domains Juggler' here

Maintaining an iWeb site from multiple machines?

After a reasonable amount of research I am pretty sure the answer is "no" but here we go...
I have both a Laptop and a desktop and would like to be able to update and maintain my site from either machine. From the looks of things this isn't as easy as it looks. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

James,
I already posted a "thank you" after the next post. I am anxious to try using the Flash Drive with my desktop and laptop.
I found out the hard way and lost a few entries. I had done my original blog and photo pages on my desktop. I copied all the "Domain" files onto the iDisk and then uploaded them on my laptop. (That took too long!) But everything was working fine. Then I added a couple more pages via the desktop, and forgot to put them on the laptop. I came to Ireland, with the laptop and published several new pages and lo and behold those couple of pages had gone missing!! I realized fairly quickly that I had overwritten those pages.
Before I go back to the US next week, I am going to load all the "Domain" files onto a flash drive and take it with me and transfer to my desktop. I have to leave the laptop here in Ireland with my husband.
Could you tell me exactly what I have to copy onto the flash drive? I had the instructions printed up somewhere, but they are not with me now!
Now another question for you!
Obviously I have all my .mac information on both of my computers. I will be visiting my daughter's after I return. Can I plug my flash drive into her laptop (an Apple, of course) - log into my .mac account and then add and publish to my iWeb sites? Or are there some other adjustments I have to make to my daughter's iWeb before I can publish to my web site. We all have the same edition of iLife 06 - I had bought a family pack.
Any advice?!! Thanks

Opening an exisiting file or site on another machine

I have macs, a desktop and portable. I would love to edit my site from both machines. I use the idisk to transfer file and keep both system update. I can see the site and it's files on my idisk, but iWeb will not import or open the files. I know there are other design application that will allow for me to edit the site but the lack the theme and sometimes iWeb can't re open the file created in another app. I don't understand why there isn't a simple save as or opening an existing site command in iWeb like yo would find in similar applications. If anyone has founded a work around please let me know

I believe you can store your domain file in a remote location, such as a file on your iDisk, so that iWeb accesses that domain file from each computer that you use. The secret is to double-click the domain file from each computer, so that the iWeb software then looks to that location. I haven't tried it, but here's the scoop:

Working one iWeb site from two Macs

I have two Macs, and use my desktop for working at home, and my laptop for working away, or when on holiday for working with photographs and, hopefully, blogs. I set up my iWeb site initially using the desktop, and then tried to edit the site using my laptop, only to find that it cannot, seemingly, be done.
Help! Does anyone know how to edit one iWeb site from two machines, or is there, perhaps, a practicable workaround?

The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on your desktop machine at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on your laptop. Launch iWeb and you'll see your desktop site structure in the Site Organizer.
Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect:

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?
I started creating my site on a PB 15", but when I'm home I like the speed of my iMac and I'd like to continue the editing process on my iMac but I can't find the files that iWeb saves.
I'd ideally like to save my site on my 30gig iPod using it as a hard drive between both. I would love for this to happen but I can't find the files saved by iWeb. Is this even possible?
I've even tried linking my PB to my iMac via firewire as a hard drive. No Luck.
Please Help . . .

I think iWeb only recognizes the 'domain.sites' file so while you can set up more than one site, they are in the same project.
Of course, the workround is to move the domain.sites file out of the default location, which them makes iWeb create a new one. You can then work on any number of projects, only moving the correct file into the default location for work on each one. Not elegant by any means, but until someone suggests a better way (or Apple produce a more flexible version of the software) it works fine that way.

Bookmarks have disappeared on two machine unable to restore from backup folder in Firefox. How can I restore my bookmarks?

All my bookmarks have disappeared on two machines. I tried used the restore function it did not work, and I tried to updated my Plugins and for some reason Firefox would not register the updates . How can I restore my bookmarks?

Immediately backup the profiles on both machines. Keep the profile backup files and folders somewhere safe outside the Firefox program and profile paths. The Windows Desktop would be a suitable location.
* see [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* also note the information on bookmarks [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Do you use Firefox sync ?
*[[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
that is not itself a backup, but you may consider the synced second device to be a backup
Restored bookmarks overwrite the existing bookmarks. You may still have some left, but unfortunately you could have overwritten most or all of them with corrupt copies. If you backup the profile at least you have access to copies of whatever automatic backups were made. Note in future that it is good practice to periodically make backups.
Post back again once you have backed up the profiles, and read the linked articles.

Migration from MBP to MBA: tips on using two machines at once?

Hi folks,
Seeking wisdome of the community here. I am retirng a long serving MBP-2010, moving over to a new MBA-2013.
For lots of reasons, I'm setting up the new Air manually, rather than use Setup Assistant. I'm planning to continue using the Pro as a media player, at home, for emergency backup. The Air will be my main work device. I'm manually migrating my data, and will reinstall software on the Air selectively, as needed, to minimize some of the messiness that slowed down my old unit.
So here's my question, concen: Are there any concerns, pitfalls, or tricks to using two machines, connected to the same Apple ID, in parallel? Should I uninstall any of the software in the old unit, or disconnect it from my iTunes, or anything else?
Thanks for any reference, advice, or URLs. I searched the boards, but had no luck finding similar queries.
All the best, Adam

No, you can connect many Macs (and IOS devices) to the same AppleID, in fact for iCloud useage, you have to.

Update the sites from two computers

hi,
i created my sites from a mac in my office. now i want to update it from home, or - if that is not possible - get it completely on my computer at home. how can i do it??

This is asked so often it really should be included in an FAQ. The secret is on your office Mac at Users/yourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. There you'll find Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). Make a copy and move it to the same location on your home machine. When you launch iWeb you'll see everything you created in the office.

Restored from Time Machine - Now have two separate users account

Hello,
I was having problems with Leopard, so Apple support told me to do an erase and install and then restore all my data from time machine. After restoring from time machine, I was asked whether I wanted to merge my user accounts (considering that they have the same name) or create separate accounts. However, the option to merge them could not be selected. So, I created a separate account and simply kept the same name for my Time Machine account but added the #1 on the end to distinguish it.
Now I would like to merge the accounts, or delete one of the accounts while still retaining all of my data (from Time Machine). How can I go about doing this?
Thanks.

Log into your restored account. Be sure it has admin authority. Delete the account you created during reinstallation.

Dangers of Working on Two Machines?

Are there any inherent problems in maintaining a copy of my iWeb "domain" file on two machines? Do they both get updated every time i open iWeb?
Must the "second" copy be saved in my home folder's Library/Application/Support/iWeb/ folder ??
All is working well ... I just would like to update my iWeb site from my mini ....

Are there any inherent problems in maintaining a copy of my iWeb "domain" file on two machines? Do they both get updated every time i open iWeb?
No, they don't. They are on different computers. You have to devise a strategy to use the same file on both computers.
In the old days I used a floppy to transport a file. Now I use a USB Stick. You can also put the file on the server and work from there. Just double-click to open it in iWeb.
Practice.

Keeping two machines 100% synced

Here is my setup:
1. MacBook Pro with 128 Gb SSD boot drive and 1 Tb secondary drive (using a caddy in place of SuperDrive)
2. Mac Pro desktop with 128 Gb SSD boot drive and 1 Tb secondary drive (have additional drives in remaining 2 slots, but they aren't relevant to this)
I use the MBP in the field when shooting video and photos to dump files, do quick views and minor edits, even some minor word processing if I am on a client site and need to generate a form, and email/web searches, etc. At home, I will sometimes use the MBP for full editing in a secondary office.
I use the MP for pretty much the same thing apart from the portable aspect.
Here's my question/desire/wish:
Is there a method or application whereby I can keep these two machines 100% synced once the MBP rejoins my home network?
Example 1: I store the video/photo files on the 1 Tb secondary drive of the MBP. When the MBP arrives home, it should immediately start syncing those files over to the MP's 1 Tb secondary drive in the same folder structure.
Example 2: I install a new application on the MP. That application (or files which the installer puts into place on the MP) get automatically installed or copied to their respective locations on the MBP.
Example 3: I begin editing a Premiere project on the MBP. I save it, get up and walk to the other office and sit down at the MP and open the same project and pick up where I left off on the MBP. And vice versa.
Essentially what I am looking for is a "roaming profile" set up but with the redundancy of having two locations for everything, kept in total sync with each other, and reflecting changes as I make them, near simultaneously.
Ideally, and to make matters even more complicated, I would like this same set up to work with an additional machine, my wife's iMac. She shoots alongside me in the field and we could both dump our files into the MBP, do whatever initial work needs to be done, and then pick up at home, she on her iMac looking at her photos, and me on the MP editing video.
I'm suspecting a possible solution involves a series of Automator scripts and folder actions, but I was hoping to find a more elegant, one-click idea. Thoughts? Suggestions? Flame for requesting an entirely unreasonable feature?

Synchronizing data between devices is a complex issue, and there's no really ideal solution. This comment is an oversimplification.
Mail can be synchronized by storing it on a mail server that uses the IMAP protocol, such as iCloud. The mail stays on the server, so it's automatically in sync with all mail clients.
Several other kinds of data can be synced via iCloud, such as calendars, iWork documents, photos, Safari tabs and bookmarks, and keychains. Some third-party applications can also sync with iCloud, but not many. iCloud is easy to use, for the most part. The drawbacks of using it are, first, that it doesn't sync everything; and second, that some of your private information will be in the hands of strangers. Read the iCloud feature list and privacy notice carefully before deciding whether or how to use it. There should be no privacy concerns with iCloud keychain, because the data is encrypted end-to-end and is not accessible to anyone at Apple—but you have to take Apple's word for that.
A more comprehensive solution, and one that doesn't raise any privacy issues, is to set up an OS X Server on your network and create mobile accounts on your other Macs. You will then be able to synchronize all files in the home folder automatically at logout, or at any other time manually. The main drawback here is that OS X Server would be hard for most non-technical users to set up and maintain. Another is that the synchronization only works with Macs, not mobile devices.
Third-party software such as Unison can also be used to synchronize files over a network. Unison is free, but it's not easy to set up in a way that doesn't lead to conflicts when files are modified on different devices between synchronizations. To synchronize more than two Macs in this way, you'll want to use one as the master, and sync between it and the others.

Two Machines on Same Modem - One IP address !?!

This isn't actually a Mac question, but all the smart people are here...
I have a cable wireless modem (Linksys) with one (iMac) machine plugged into it via Ethernet, and another (Mac) "attached" via wireless Airport.
When I go to WhatIsMyIP.com (or grc.com, or any other site that detects my IP address) from either machine I see the SAME IP address for both machines.
How can this be? I though addresses were unique. The machines certainly behave as if they were on different addresses - email goes to the right place, &c.

jstackpo,
You are dealing with two things here: The internet as a whole, and the "intranet" that your router creates and manages.
As far as the internet goes, you are correct in the assumption that a single, unique IP address is necessary. However, it is your router, and through the router your entire "intranet," that receives this unique IP address. When the router is powered on, it connects your your ISP's "DHCP" server to request an IP address. When granted, this becomes your "public" IP address, and it is assigned directly to your router. The router then uses a protocol called "Network Address Translation" (NAT) to share that single IP address between all of the connected computers. How does it know to send some information to one computer, and something else to a second computer? Without getting long-winded about it, it knows this the same way your computer knows to send a song you may be downloading from the iTunes store to iTunes, while at the same time sending a Youtube video to Safari.
You can think of your own network (your "intranet") as a mini internet, in that all the computers within it must have unique IP addresses. This same principal applies to your router, as it is seen from other computers on that network. Typically, routers use the IP address range of "192.168.x.x" for the entire network, but there are many choices an administrator can make is this regard. In creating this "private" network, the router acts as a DHCP server in it own right, granting these internal IP addresses as machines connect to the network and request them (just as the router does when it connects to your ISP's DHCP server).
So yes, there are at least three IP addresses involved: 1) Your "public" IP address, requested by your router and granted by your ISP's DHCP server, which applies to your router, and through it every other machine on your network (as they are seen by the internet at large). 2) Your router's self-assigned "private" IP address, as seen by every computer on your network. 3) The additional "private" IP addresses given to the various computers on your network, assigned by your router via its own DHCP server.

Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines

I have use of so many cloud services including the 20gb that Adobe gives me. Is there a way i can sync my catalog on the cloud so that i can have all my metadata on both my laptop and desk top? I also have 300gb of cloud storage though Copy. I would just like some recomendations on how best to go about it. Thanks

Hi Pat,
Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines
If you’re running Lightroom on a laptop during your location shoots, you might want to take all the edits, keywords, metadata, and of course the photos themselves, and add them to the Lightroom catalog on your studio computer. It’s easier than it sounds: basically, you choose which catalog to export from your laptop, then you take the folder it creates over to your studio computer and import it.
You need to decide whether you want to export a folder (all the imported photos from your shoot), or a collection (just your Picks from the shoot). In this case, we’ll go with a collection, so go to the Collections panel and click on the collection you want to merge with your main catalog back in your studio. (If you had chosen a folder, the only difference would be you’d go to the Folders panel and click on the folder from that shoot instead. Either way, all the metadata you added, and any edits you made in Lightroom, will still be transferred over to the other machine.)
Please refer to http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1930499 for more details.
Thanks!

Two machines saving the same file as different sizes?

My coworker and I both have the same version of Illustratir (CS6) and both use Lion on iMacs, but today noticed something weird. He saved a file similar to a file I had done before as both an eps and a pdf and his file size was more than twice what my file sizes usually are. I thought it was odd, so I copied everything from his file into a new file (same dimensions) and saved out an eps and pdf (default settings), and like I thought, my files were less than half the size of his.
Why would two machines be saving identical files at different sizes? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Everything in the file is vector, if it matters. There's not even any editable text.

See the mechanism of saving here: http://superuser.com/questions/66825/what-is-the-difference-between-size-and-size-on-disk
The size of the "blocks" depends on the size of the disk and how it's been formatted.

Migrate 8.1.6 to 8.1.7 between two machines

on linux rh 7, I have installed 8.1.7. On another machine I have a database called chem on 8.1.6.
How do I export the table structure from 8.1.6 in an sql file that can be used to recreate my structure in the new version?
How do I EXPORT the data...will the file created by the export command in 8.1.6 be compatible with 8.1.7?
Is there a better way to do this?

I hate to answer my own question...
Upgrades of lower versions of Oracle to higher versions can be handled directly by the export/import. I found by going to the usenet oracle group, they had many posts which covered this issue.
If its not on the same machine, and you need to essentially copy you database from one to machine to the other, these are the steps:
1. In the lower version machine, execute an export. You can do this from the sql*plus prompt, or on many os's just type exp blah-blah, and you will have exported your database. These can be quite large files, and enterprise data could be in the multi-gigabyte size. Obviously, this can be an os issue.
2. On the other machine with the higher version, create the various empty tables and the same users for the database with the same name as the database on the older version.
3. Use the import command on the sql*plus or imp blah blah in some operating systems, and this will import your data into the new version of the database. Go have a cup of copy, because this is going to take awhile.
You can probably write a script to do this, but I couldn't find one anywhere...if anybody has one, please post it here.
A faster alternative would be to use jdbc/java and use metadata to create the new tables in the new database, and then use selects on one database, and inserts on another database to insert the data. This only works if the two machines are networked together.
The migration assistant seems to work only if the versions and databases are on the same machine.

Workflow with two machines

Just wondering how people out there manage working from two machines. I have an MBA that I take on the road and use when I'm sick of my office and want a change of scenery. And, I work on an iMac at my home office.
I'm new to Aperture, and am wondering how people work between a laptop and desktop. How do you sync up files? My MBA hard drive is obviously small, so I'd like to just just keep some core photos on it or maybe even just my most recent photos to work with along with a few older albums.
Any suggestions or techniques for workflow and syncing between machines?

Although various user workarounds exist, the issue of synching your laptop Library with your desktop Library has not (yet) been addressed by Apple. IMO Apple's failure (still) to address this key issue is a travesty; Apple's single-user Filemaker has had that capability since the 1980's.
I suggest going to "Provide Aperture Feedback" under the Aperture menu and requesting that Apple provide single-user synch capabilities for two Libraries (such as the laptop/desktop setups that you and I both have). Note that it is important to specify single-user, two-Libraries, because multi-user scenarios are entirely different solutions that - unlike single user solutions - are usually very complex and expensive.
Laptop drives are now available with up to 500 GB capacity, so you may want to consider upgrading the size of your internal laptop drive and using the removed stock drive for backup in an external case. In addition to added speed, the extra internal drive space can allow temporary internal storage of Referenced Masters while in the field if that is desired; or for help with whatever workaround Library-synch methodology is chosen.
Some workarounds include
• Exporting total projects that include Masters from your laptop Aperture for usage on your desktop Aperture.
• Keeping a single Aperture Library on a large external hard drive, and moving the external hard drive among computers. Obviously not ideal for portability, and substantial slowdown usually occurs because in most cases connection is by some method much slower than SATA. New Macbooks with their limitation to only USB are the worst.
I ask that Aperture users with two Macs go to "Provide Aperture Feedback" under the Aperture menu and advise Apple of our need for single-user synch of two Libraries.
Thanks!
