Will the new iCloud feature sync Aperture libraries between different computers?

If there was a Cloud section in the forums i would post this there but there isn't so here it is. Syncing my Aperture libraries between my laptop and imac is a big problem for me right now. Does anyone know if the new Cloud air synching feature coming this fall will sync photos between aperture libraries on multiple computers?

There is now an iCloud community iCloud
But I believe the answer to this question is no, iCloud is not meant to do this type of syncing.

Will the new iCloud provide storage/backup/sharing for all my files on all my devices?

Will the new iCloud be able to:
Allow me to share/backup/view all my files on all my devices.
Use a public folder to share with staff, friends and family like Mobile Me could do.
Thx much

PV,
Thx for your commercial on Apple's iCloud.
Been and Apple user since 1977 and iCloud STINKS!!!!
Let me be clear....I spent $100-125 for MobileMe and would be very, very, very happy to continue to spend that and more for storage/backup/sharing of my files/photos/videos on iCloud.
It is now much worse than Mobile Me, yes Mobile Me was great!!
Very, very sorry that iCloud is very, very bad.
Apple has done a great job providing us with many devices to share our files and documents, but Apple's iCloud does not allow us to share/back-up/view our files.
This is sad, very, very, very sad.

Sync aperture 3 between 2 computers

How can I sync Aperture libraries on 2 computers (my laptop and my desktop)? Apple says:
"Merge and Sync Libraries
To merge two or more Aperture libraries, simply drag one Aperture library into another. If any of the merged projects match those already in the library, Aperture automatically updates those items with the most recent changes."
Question--Will this drag-and-drop method work between 2 computers?
Thanks for any help.

Hey everyone,
I've been using iPhoto on my laptop (which was my main computer) since like 2004 when I first started on Mac. The iPhoto library reads as 150gb... so quite a lot.
I also have a desktop that I use for work (mainly Video editing station) but over the last year, my projects have gotten me into using Aperture on the Mac Pro and now any time I happen to go back to iPhoto... it feels "small". So i'm gonna be moving that over to Aperture as well.
Now... a fair amount of my personal stuff over the last year has been making it onto the desktop with aperture due to its better editing capabilities... but I'd like this stuff to be on the laptop as well. Last few months I've been using PhotoStream to push back the best selections that I can view now on iPhoto... but that has limitations (ie, video, large files)... so after doing some reading (and this thread)... i think I know the workflow that I want to setup, but I'm not entirely sure of the best way to go about it.
What I want is this:
Desktop (Mac Pro)... to have EVERYTHING... all the masters, RAW files, projects, libraries etc (due to expanded hard drive bays, plus easy to keep external drives just connected and mount/unmount as I need).
Laptop (Macbook Pro).... to basically be a mirror of my aperture library... but at a much smaller scale. I don't need the RAW files, or the huge masters etc. I just want the images that 99% of the time will be for viewing or emailing, but I'd like to do this abroad when i'm not at the desktop.
I've figured out how to import my iPhoto library into Aperture on the laptop... then I need to move that onto the desktop so I have the last 8 or so years of photos on there... and then I can just merge it into my current on-going aperture library.
So I have 3 questions:
a) use different libraries? will it make things better? on the desktop... i just have one library, that has my personal photos and work-related photos... i split them simply by Project and that works fine enough for me. Will I gain anything if I split into a work-only library and a personal-only library? I dont really want to have to continually switch between the 2 depending on what I'm doing
b) How do I have everything stored (referenced? im still a bit unclear as to how the referencing works in aperture...i just know that sometimes i have the "show in finder" option on a photo... and sometimes I don't).... on the desktop (whether it be an external drive or internal for the RAW/masters).... and then how do I only bring over what I need (including the aperture edits) over to the laptop? If I make changes on the laptop and desktop... how do i sync them to "merge" the changes/which edits does it take preference? from all the reading ive done (including the 2 links above), i'm still really unclear on this.
c) I use some plugins which ive noticed just create new files in aperture... how/where exactly does aperture store those (ie, i often use a de-noise plugin), that will then bring it over to the laptop as well.
Thanks for the help!

Syncing iTunes libraries between 2 computers

Does anyone know how to sync iTunes between 2 computers? I have 2 macs in my home (one with an external drive that holds all of my music). I can get both computers to see and operate from the music files in a single location but I can't seem to figure out how to have any changes to my library, playlists, etc. made on one computer to automatically show up on the other in iTunes. Does this have something to do with the iTunes library.itl file?
If so, do I have to copy the iTunes library.itl file from the computer on which I have made the most recent changes and then delete this file from the other computer and drop the recently modified iTunes library.itl file into the music folder on the unmodified computer? Will this effectively sync both libraries? If so, is there a program that will automatically schedule this procedure for me. I am in the process of sorting through 5000+ duplicates (fun, I know) and I don't want to do it twice.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks guys. The shared music works fine but as noted in the second response, playlists, etc. are not available on both computers at the same time. I like jase's suggestion, but since I will only need to copy one iTunes library file & paste over another to keep both libraries in sync, I think that will be the way to go. I will give the alias library file a whirl because that may work fine since both computers can make changes. I do not have the concern of both computers using the files at the same time. Only one computer will every use it. My mac mini core duo is in with my theater rack stuff. Everything is played from there. My iMac G5 is at my desk. I just need them in sync because it is infinately easier to make changes sitting at a desk than it is with a keyboard and mouse on my lap on a couch from 15 feet away from the screen.
Thanks for the feedback.
Chris
P.S. - Has anyone heard of the bluetooth trackball called "The Ball" from Chwang Yi? I want to buy it, and the website claims to sell it - I just can't seem to find a single link leading to a purchase page of any kind. Any thoughts?

Syncing Aperture library between two computers using MobileMe and DropBox

I'd like to have my Aperture library automatically sync'd between my MacBookPro and iMac.
I have MobileMe and I'd ideally like to use it to sync, however I believe Aperture sees the library as a large single file, and so is not really practical to do this.
I believe DropBox does handle this better, but I only have the 2GB free version, and don't want to upgrade while I'm paying for MobileMe (which I use mainly for iPhone syncing).
So, I was wondering would keeping the RAW and JPEG images in my iDisk (outside the library) and using a library in my DropBox folder using referenced master files to the images seem like a workable solution?
I appreciate I need to only use one system at a time and make sure it's all sync'd before using the other computer or risk corruption.

Just curious - why do you think it would be slow?
With iDisk sync turned on the master images would be on the local hard drive, as would the library in the DropBox folder. Might have to use a symbolic link or mount to make the local hard disk iDisk folder appear in the exact same location on both machines, though maybe not even that?

Oops my bad...I see that during my troubleshooting I inadvertently left Ringtones unchecked in iTunes.

Have iTunes version 10 .3 but do not understand cloud in iTunes 11.03 can someone explain it and also how do you find duplicates in new version and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which I have had for 4 years

I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

Are there Mail changes in Mavericks? Are the new iCloud keychain features like LastPass?

It's a pleasant surprise that Mavericks - OS X 10.9 was released as a free upgrade. There are some nice new features, like Finder tabs. I don't see any mention of Mail enhancements though. Are there any? I see tagging for files. Tagging for mail would be nice as cross-references.
What about the new iCloud keychain features. Does that do most of what LastPass does? Or is it just Safari specific?
Anyway, off to upgrade!

Will LR get the new brush feature added to the graduated filter and radial filter like the latest version of Camera raw?

Will LR get the new brush feature added to the graduated filter and radial filter like the latest version of Camera raw?

OK, at least I can look forward to it and use Photoshop & CR instead of LR for these filters until then.

I currently sold my iphone 4s to someone else and I think I forgot to delete the icloud on its account. Will the new user of my old iphone be able to download apps and use my money? Apparently, I cannot buy new apps on my ipad.

Help? Will the new user be able to use my account to buy apps?

If you did not sign out of your Apple ID in theory the new owner could use your account. However, they would also have to know your password in order to use the account.
What do you mean by you can't buy apps on your new iPad? That is such a broad statement. You are not signed into your account in Settings>Store? The new owner tried to use the Apple ID and and your account was disabled?
I would get in touch with the new owner if you have concerns. You will need to work this out somehow. I suppose that you could wipe the device using Find My iPad if it's not too late and all of the conditions for doing so are still in place.

Love the new iCloud Drive!

I am very happy with how the new iCloud drive works.
It makes a lot more sense to me that I can now select where I want a file to be saved,
rather than having to make that decision before hand, and then having to resort to all
sorts of tricks to move a file from iCloud onto my desktop.
Nice Work!

The iCloud Drive wasn't designed to hold an iPhoto Library. It probably is designed to hold the master photos for the new Photos application that is currently being developed for Yosemite and will be released early next year. We won't know how it will integrate with the new app until it's released.
iPhoto libraries require a local volume that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled)l

I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space. How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology?

I redirected iTunes to an external drive and moved my iTunes library and folder, but my hard drive is still low on space. How can I be sure that my music is all on the external HD ONLY, especially with the new iCloud technology? It doesn't look like I created any more space by doing this, AND I totally lost all my iTunes playlists. I'm not sure if because I added old library materials manually if this messed up my playlists, or if the new location is just not reading my moved library. In any case, I followed step by step instructions and found a few holes and thought I'd just "figure it out" but I guess I'm not as smart as I thought since I'm still scratching my head many hours later.
Thanks for any support ;-)

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

Will the new lightning to 30-pin adapter support.... ?

Will the new lightning to 30-pin adapter support a cord at which the 30 pin goes and splits into a RCA cable for audio output and USB for charging, this is what is used in my car currently to feed my former iphone 4 into the cars stereo while also charging? My question is there is no video output only audio and charging, will it work?

doubt it as it would be as easy for the old charger to do that as the new ligthing
when a feature is removed then it would not make much sense to remove it and then reinterduce it later on with no benefit to the producer of the product

Will the new iCloud feature sync Aperture libraries between different computers?
