  • Practical way to use iPhoto on both desktop and laptop?

    I have my iPhoto library on the internal hard drive of my iMac desktop machine. I also have a Mac laptop, and occasionally when I take this away I like to take a copy of the current iPhoto library so I can show photos on the laptop.
    I've never found a way to do this easily, and generally copy over the entire iPhoto Library from the desktop to the laptop - a long and tedious job.
    Recently when I tried to do this, I got a message telling me this was not possible because "some data in 'iPhoto Library' can't be read or written". I tried exporting and importing the photos, which caused massive headaches.
    My current plan is to get a large-ish flash drive, maybe 16 or 32gig (my Library is about 11 gig at present), and simply move the library to there when I want to take it with me.
    Or am I overlooking a more obvious method?

    There's an application, iPhotoSync
    that can keep both of your libraries identical as far a which photos are in them.
    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.
    5 - it can be password protected to prevent unauthorized use.
    It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired.
    It will not copy keywords, albums or other keepsakes. Just photos.
    If you need to include the metadata then you will need to purchase and use iPhoto Library Manager. However, you will have to manually select the events or albums to copy from one library to the other.

  • Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
    Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use.

  • I have Firefox installed on both desktop and laptop. Firefox is NOT recognizing my settings (to open with previous tabs, etc) on the desktop only. How do I fix this.

    I have opened/closed browser numerous times, after "updating" and resetting my preferences. The settings "match" on laptop and desktop. Laptop works like a charm; desktop not at all.

    Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
    Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
    If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.

  • Access Printer from both desktop and laptop

    Can i install a  HP Photosmart 5510 on my desktop using the usb connection, and access the same printer from my laptop using wifi?  Desktop is XP Pro and Laptop isn 64 bit Windows 7.

    You can, but why?  The 5510 is a network-able printer.  Connect it wirelessly to your wireless router and be able to print AND scan from both computers.  
    Sharing via USB will only sharing printing, not scanning.  It is hard to set up and the host computer can never go to sleep!

  • I have Photoshop Elements 13 on both desktop and laptop and need help

    The one on my laptop has more calendar themes than the one on my desktop. How do I get all of the themes on my desktop version?

    How did you try to install ACR 8.8.  The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
    There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma.  This one tells you what your camera needs:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html   This one tells you what version of software you need:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6.  (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
    To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13.   Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
    The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter.  Download and install it from here for FREE:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890  Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use.  That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom.  DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless.  There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

  • How to work on the same iMovie project on both desktop and laptop?

    I would like to transfer my unfinished iMovie project from my desktop to my laptop, so I can work on it while traveling. I know I could export it as a movie, but it's not finished, so what I'd really like to do is transfer all the elements of the project in its current state so I can continue to work on it.  Anyone know a way to do this? Thanks!

    See this User Tip by AppleMan1958:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
    In particular, follow the instructions in the last paragraph regarding using the FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA feature (after moving the project as described earlier in the Tip).

  • Can I use pages on both desktop and iPad

    If I purchase Pages for my Mac book air can I use it on my iPad or do I need to purchase separate versions?

    You need to purchase separate versions...the iPad version is stripped down considerably from the Mac version, but at $10 quite reasonable.

  • Using Win 7 64bit on desktop and laptop. OK on laptop; desktop does not load graphics in broswer with/without exts/addons. Any ideas?

    Browser loads text on page but not full graphics - some - sometimes; sometimes none. I use same search engine on both desktop and laptop. I've tried disabling add-ons and extensions but it makes no difference. As I didn't know which version of Shockwave Flash to install I've installed both!!!

    Thanks for this. I could not select Shockwave Flash 9.0.45.0 - but downloaded the uninstaller from Adobe which removed the newer Flash 11 version. I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode and yes, Flash 9 was still there. I ran the uninstaller again - after closing Firefox. It said that Flash was removed however when I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode - Flash 9 was still there - disabled - but there. Nothing appears in the Control Panel/Programs list. So how do I uninstall this older version?
    Graphics problem continues in Safe Mode.
    After reading: Flash 9.0 r28 and below: Your Windows list of installed programs may have an entry for "Adobe Flash Player ActiveX" but this will only remove the Flash Player for Internet Explorer and AOL. To completely remove Flash from your system, download the Flash uninstaller from Adobe.com. To remove Flash from Mozilla browsers only, delete these Flash plugin files from all locations. [17]
    I searched for but did not find:
    NPSWF32.dll
    flashplayer.xpt
    This sort of stuff is out of my comfort zone!

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version.  I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues.  During the installation process it gave me an error message that said: 
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer.  I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I did not leave anything out from the error message.  It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..."  Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
    How do I repair this issue?  I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse.  I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi lustyln,
    I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
    For reference, here are your product specifications:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
    To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
    I hope this helps.
