How do I have the same "events" on two Macs?

I have the "family pack" and just installed on both Macs. I have the same exact pictures on both Macs. I organized all the events on one Mac and now I would like to have the same events on the second Mac.
On the previous version of iPhoto, I simply would copy com.apple.iPhoto.plist from the first Mac and copy it to the next Mac. Then all my preferences (e.g., file names, roll names, etc.) would match. This method does not seem to work on iPhoto 08.
Any suggestions?

John:
You could use iPhoto Library Manager and copy the events from one library to another like this. The demo shows an event being copies but it works the same for albums.
You'll need to connect the Macs so you have access to the libraries and then IPLM will do the job.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini

    How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini ?

    Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want.  iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.

  • How do I make my laptop Mac communicate with my iMac so that the calendars have the same events

    I am trying to get my Macbook Pro to have the same events on the calendar that are on my imac as well as the contacts be the same.  Is it not iCloud that is suppossed to be doing that automatically?  If so, it is not on mine.  What do I have to do? 

    Hi vinobeeno,
    You have to make sure that you are signed onto the same iCloud account on both Macs, and that you have Contacts and Calandars turned on in iCloud on both Macs.
    If the checked information is not getting pushed to both Macs, then try signing out and then back into iCloud on each one.
    Cheers,

  • How can I use the same event case for different controls dynamically

    OS: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Sat Apr 19 00:37:55 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
    LabVIEW: Version 8.2
    I have a lot of (about 50) controls (numeric, boolean) on my front panel. If a "Value Change" event will be fired by any of them the same event case shall be executed. As I do not want to add all 50 controls to the same event case manually I am looking for a way to do it at run time. Additionally the VI is still under contruction, i.e. controls will be added and removed.
    Thanks for any help here.
    Regards,
    Johannes
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Johannes,
    collect all your control references (you can use the FP property for it) and create a user event. Connect this user event to your event structure. Now you have one event case for all your controls. See the attached picture.

  • How do I sync the same library between two computers?

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Air, and I am constantly buying music betwen the two computers, and my iPhone. I want to be able to sync up my iPhone on both computers, but it keeps telling me I have to resync my entire phone, which is just crazy. How can I sync up itunes? I have .mac to sync my contacts, mail, etc.

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Air, and I am constantly buying music betwen the two computers
    Constantly? The MacBook Air is brand new.
    Even if you sync iTunes between two computers With something like this -> syncOtunes, you will still get this message if you sync to the other computer. The libraries may be have the same music but they are not the same library.

  • Can I have the same itunes on two computers?

    I want to have the same info on one computer, mine as i do on my husbands. He doesn't use itunes & sometimes we only take one computer with us. I would like for them to be able to sync together with mine & his laptops.

    Welcome to AD!
    Yes, you can do this. It takes a little setting up. Here is a CNET video that I thnk explains it very well:

  • How can i use the same id on two different laptops?

    When trying to use the same login on two different laptops so that i can connect my nook to either depending on which one is free, i get the error that the id is already in use on another computer?

    The issue is embedded in the way the software works.  To comply with the
    Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 2000, all software companies in this
    business keep track of where their software is installed, making
    information about the computer and ereaders part of an ID file.  So, your
    user ID is embedded in the ID file of each computer, but each computer has
    a different ID of its own that is also embedded in that file.  Adobe's
    master server (yes, there is one that you connect to even if you didn't
    know it) also has that information, and when you try to use an ID on one
    that's embedded in the file of another, Adobe's server blows the whistle,
    and as you can see, you can't do that....

  • Is it possible to share the same iCal on two MAC users?

    Please help me. Is it possible for me to share the same iCal on two different MAC users? I know that you can sync it to an ipod or iphone, but can you share it on the same MAC with another user?
    If anyone knows, please tell me! Thank you!

    I think the easiest way to share calendars between the two users on the same Mac is by using Google Calendars/Calaboration.
    (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358#ical)
    After following the instructions in the link, export your iCal calendar and import it into the new Google Calendar. All events will appear in the new Google calendar which you can see in iCal or gmail. Set this up with the same google account information used when configuring the first user account and both users will be able to write and/or remove events in the calendar using iCal.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I have the same Itunes on 2 computers?

    I used to do everything from work so I use my itunes there. 
    But when I want to do some changes/backups during the week-end, I can't since it's not the same itunes on my laptop.
    I use the same Apple ID though.   How can I make it the same ??
    The one on my laptop is older and I only update the one from work.  I wish that all my purchases and everything were reflected on my laptop one.
    I now just switched and am fully in Apple mode : Iphone4s, ipod, ipad2...  but can't seem to have all of them working on the same itune on 2 computers.
    Thanks!

  • How can i have the same files on my iMac as i do my Macbook Pro?

    Im no computer whiz but i know more than the average joe. But when it comes to things like this im not an expert. I am a Photograher, Graphic Designer, and Videographer. I use my Macbook Pro on the go and my iMac in home. I would like to be able to have a matching folder structure for all my files and have both computers running the same aperture libraries and final cut libraries. Essentially a mirrored machine. Or just a directory that i can acsess from both of them. I assume this would be the work of a server? I just dont know enough about how fast would it be if i had my aperture library referenced off of a server attached to my home network and i was connected via wireless N "i could do ethernet but that would require me to venture to the basement" Also i assume that i would be able to connect all of these external drives i have to it? Say i had drive A1 and B1 A1 would be the master and B1 would be the back up and so on for A2 and B3? kinda like a raid set up so i can have a drive for photographery thats backed up one for video thats backed up and so on thanks.
    Also could i use such server to remotely render files for my applications? Such as Final Cut, After Effects, or Cinema 4D?
    Also this is all based around a Mac Mini Server as i dont have the money to be spending thousands of dollars. "I already did with my computers haha."
    Thanks i appreciate it in advance!
    If any of this was confusing i can re write it all thanks!

    I'm trying to do something similar with my iMac set up as an Open Directory server with network accounts, and then having my MacBook bind to it for login and home folder syncing. I still don't have it working the way I would like, maybe someone here could help me. I'm no expert, I found an up-to-date book at my university library, but it doesn't mention mobile accounts.
    What I did:
    1. Installed Server on my iMac and configured it for network accounts. I made a few test accounts.
    2. Configured the test accounts for mobile home folder and mobile syncing. I also configured the path to the home folder to be the server (iMac).
    3. Under Users and Groups preferences on my MacBook, made my iMac the network account server.
    What I got:
    1. I could login to any of my test network accounts from either computer.
    2. I could could create files on my MacBook and have them automatically sync with my iMac, and vice versa.
    What I didn't get:
    1. When I removed my iMac from the network, I could not log in to ANY account on my MacBook, not even local user accounts.
    2. If I made a change, such as in iPhoto on my MacBook, then made some other changes in iPhoto on my iMac, the sync can sometimes produce the wrong results, i.e. imports added photos, but not changed foto albums. (This would not be a problem on a dedicated server, but this could be a show stopper for the parent unless there is a good work around.)
    For me the show stopper is not being able to login without the iMac on the network. I remember NetInfo from the NeXTSTEP days and I thought the reason we went with OpenDirectory was so we could login without the server being connected. If anyone knows how to get OpenDirectory to work without a network, please let me know, and no - I do not want to install Server on my MacBook and make a clone directory.

  • How do I have the same clip playing in reverse and forwards

    So essentially when I try to reverse one clip of two of the same clips it reverses both of them instead of just the one I selected. I've tried renaming it too and it didn't work. Thanks so much for your answers!

    This happens because multitrack mode in Audition is essentially a very posh file player. If you have a file that plays in one direction, then it's simply not possible for the same file to play backwards at the same time - the engine can't do that! When you think you're playing two separate clips, you almost certainly aren't - this is just two playback instances of essentially the same file/clip.
    There is a simple solution though; create a second (physically unique) copy of the clip and place that as the reversed one. Then you can have one clip playing in one direction, and the other clip playing in the opposite one.
