Access iMac files from macbook

Hi, I am considering buying a macbook pro, so i can access and edit aperature files on the go.  Is it posible to retain the master files on an imac, transferring them to macbook to edit, then back to the master library on the imac.....  So I can retain the main library on imac, but amend and edit things from the laptop??

What you could do in Aperture is the following:
You can select the projects you currently are working on in your main Aperture library on your iMac and export them as a new partial Aperture library, then transfer this library to your new MacPro, edit them there, then merge the edited library again into the main library on your iMac.
Or simply move your Aperture library to an external drive and connect the drive to the Mac you are working on.

  • The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine.  I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

    The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine.  I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue.  Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

    There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
    Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

  • I cannot access PDF files from my current BT Yahoo...

    Since downloading an updated version of Yahoo Mail a few months ago, I cannot now access PDF files from old e-mail messages which are located in the "Folders" section on the mail screen.  When trying to open them the message "Scanning Attachments" is displayed.  After about 60 seconds a Message is displayed "An Error Occurred whilst Downloading". This never used to happen with the previous version of Yahoo Mail.  I have tried to save the attachments to my laptop and the message reads "Scanning Attachments" which would signify that they had been saved due to no subsequent Error Message being displayed.  I have trawled all through my laptop and cannot find any of the alleged saved PDF files.
    I am an old chap and not very computer literate and am hoping you professionals can come up with an answer and fix to this problem, which I believe, was not of my own making.
    Whether this has any bearing on the matter, I changed about four months ago from BT Total BB to Infinity Opt1 which includes McAfee security built in as standard.  I have also, as an on-screen reminder, recently updated my Adobe Reader programme to version 11.  I cannot think of any other changes, apart from the new version of Yahoo Mail, that has made this problem come to light as it has. 
    Your help and assistance in this matter would be most welcome and appreciated.
    Thanks You
    Ian.

    Your problem is typical of the many problems reported with McAfee, and that may well be the cause. McAfee is free with Infinity but isn't built-in in the sense that you have to take it. Is your previous anti-virus still installed? If so, you should get rid of one of them anyway, and the usual advice here would be to ditch McAfee.
    Even if McAfee is the your only AV I would replace it. If your previous AV is no longer available there are plenty of free options, and Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is as good a choice as any. There's advice on uninstalling McAfee here.

  • How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

    Hi guys and galls,
    How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
    Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
    Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

    How can I tell whether my External HD is formatted NTFS?
    Attach the HDD to your MBP.  Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
    How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
    Do this on a PC.  You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility.  I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this.  I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
    Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
    Use ExFAT.  FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.

  • I have LR2 but not able to access nef files from my Nikon D800

    Unable to access nef files from my Nikon D800.

    You need Lightroom 4.1 or later (the current version is 5.7.1 but will not run on Windows Vista or XP and certain Mac operating systems, if that's an issue)
    You could also download the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 7.1 or later and convert your RAWs to DNG and import those into your Lightroom 2.

  • How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

    Your iPad 2 will see the video if:
    It's in a DCIM folder on the top level of the card (which is how most cameras do it)
    It's name is 8 characters, no more, no less (CKDI9483 for example)
    It's a format that the iPad will play
    I've made mp4's of things, folderized them right and named them 'right' and can transfer them to my iPad, so you can use a computer to make the files conform to what the iPad will see.

  • Access XML files from HTTP

    Hi,
    I need access XML file from HTTP. Server need parameters in the URL to generate XML files. For example, http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321.
    I created a XML Data Server in ODI 11g. The JDBC Url should be jdbc:snps:xml?f=<filename>&s=<schema>&d=<DTD>.
    However, it reports error when replaced the <filename> with "http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321".
    I found it's caused by ampersand of the HTTP Url. I guess ODI treat custid=321 as JDBC parameter rather than HTTP parameter.
    How to fill the JDBC Url in this situation?
    Thanks,

    i solved my problem by using the Socket object and controlling my file access by writing requests to the outputstream

  • If i create a partition for Windows 7, and boot up in Windows using Boot Camp, can I still access the files from the Mac partition (Photo's Music etc.)

    Ok Great,
    Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
    This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.
    Jon
    No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible)

  • How to access PC files from iPad

    How can I access PC files from my iPad?

    Depends on what kind of files. You have to have an app on your ipad that can open those files and share them.
    You can download the icloud control panel and use that on your pc.
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    itunes also supports file sharing:
    To transfer files from your computer to your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad:
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices), and click the Apps button.
    Below File Sharing, select an app from the list, and click Add.
    In the window that appears, select a file to transfer, and click Choose.
    The file is transferred to your device, and can be opened in the app you selected in step 3.
