Access imovie library from two computers

I have my imove library with all my footage on one computer. but I would like the option to use either of my imacs to edit imove projects. ie either imove accesses the same imove library

It works for me, I have multiple libraries on external firewire drives and swap them between my MacPro and Macbook Pro depending on wether I am working in the studio or at home.

Can i access my library from two hard drives at the same time?

hello!
i have way too much music on my hard drive and would like to move some to my external drive and leave some on my local drive. that way when i'm writing papers at the cafe, i can access some music and when i'm at home, i can get it all. is this possible? if not, how should i deal with a 20 gig music file?
thanks!

The best way to do this is to attach your eHD, then in your iTunes Preferences "Change Location" of your iTunes Music folder to the eHD; from then on all music you add will go to the eHD but what's on your HD will stay there, and iTunes will keep track of what is where.
Two things : when away from home, your eHD tracks will all have ! next to them as iTunes will not "see" them; also when you are at home, make sure the eHD is attached before you launch iTunes.
A second strategy is to move your entire iTunes Library to the eHD (read this article first : http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive). Then, on your Mac, launch iTunes with the Option key pressed down, then Create Library.. and set up a new Library with a subset of your favourite tracks you keep on your Mac. In future use the "launch iTunes with the Option key pressed down" trick, then Choose Library.., to switch between them.

Accessing itunes library from two separate systems (10.4.9 and 10.6.5)

Hey all
I searched and searched for the answer to this question but couldn't find it.
Perhaps it's a little unusual.
I am running two separate operating systems on a mac pro.
The first is my trusty old 10.4.9 (and probably itunes 7?) on an internal drive.
The second is a firewire drive running 10.6.5 and itunes 10.
I'm wondering if I can access my itunes library (stored on a separate internal drive) from the new 10.6.5 system without compromising access via my old operating system and old itunes program.
I don't want the xml file, or file system, or any other back-end thing to update my library to the point that my older system can no longer use it correctly.
Thanks!

I think iTunes 10 would almost certainly make changes in the iTunes.itl file that would render it inaccessible to earlier versions of iTunes, especially one as old as 7.

Syncing the same library from two computers

If I have both computers with the same music for each library, can I somehow sync from both of them?

As Katrina says the iPod family is designed to sync with a single library. I clone my library to a portable drive using SyncToy 2.0, a free tool from MS. I run this both at home & work so that I essentially have three identical copies of my library for backup redundacy, any of which I can use to update my iPods. I use iTunes Folder Watch occasionaly in case I've managed to download, for example, a podcast at one location but overwrite the library with a newer copy updated at the other. It can be done but you need to take considerable care...

Can I access the same library from 2 computers?

I just purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my main computer at home. Awesome tool!
I just loaded up over 25,000 pictures taken over the last 12 years and am slowly going through the task of tagging them. My question is as follows:
If install on a second computer, how do I access the library from the main computer? I am thinking that I can tag come pics during my lunch hour and get through this faster at the office but how do I move the library from one computer to the next?
I don't think the library is actually "moveable". Does it not just sort what is already on my main computer?
All suggestions welcome!

If your photos and catalog file are on an external HD, then you would have to bring the external HD wherever you want and PSE will work, provided that the drive letters are the same on both computers. (Example, if the external HD is E:\ on your home computer, it would have to be E:\ on the other computer).
You can move the catalog file and everything else in that folder via Windows. If you need to move the photos, this must be done in PSE (Folder Location View).

Syncing iPhoto library on two computers

My wife wants to have access to her VERY LARGE iPhoto '08 library on two computers - the desktop (her preferred) and the laptop (when the boys are doing homework on the desktop).
Rather than try to share the same library (i.e., networked drive), I set up the two to sync the library. Using +Folders Synchronizer 3.6.2+ (which is able to read and sync the package contents), I have the two libraries syncing so there is a duplicate of her library on both computers (also provides a bit of a backup).
The sync seems to be working well - EXCEPT the changes are not showing up in the iPhoto viewer. In other words...
...she added pictures to iPhoto on the desktop and then synced the laptop.
...Looking inside the iPhoto library (show package contents...) on the laptop and the new pictures were copied to the laptop.
...HOWEVER, when she opens iPhoto on the laptop they don't show up in the window.
I'm sure I'm missing something brainless. I thought it might be that the library needed to be updated but can't figure out how?
Any ideas? Thanks.

Danktuft:
If you have an external HD connected to the Mac then it's a very easy thing to do. See Apple's KB document on iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users. Trying to get a library in the Shared folder to accept two different users is difficult. There is a site describing how to do that using Access Control Lists in Tiger: Share an iPhoto Library in Tiger Using ACL's. It may not work if you upgrade to Leopard at a later date. By far the easiest way is the external HD method.
Happy New Year
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Sharing aperture library between two computers in same house

How do I go about sharing the same library between two computers in the same house? I would like to take some or all photos around with me on my laptop and be able to have them also at home for use by my family. Will I have trouble with changes and keeping things in sync? Would I locate the library on a portable drive on our home network? Thanks,
Todd

cut and dry ???
are you wanting to constantly move the external around from machine to machine ??? or are you looking for simultaneous access ???
if you had a library on an external and moved it between computers, it could work ... just be careful to always have the external connected before starting aperture, else it will create a new null library for you ...
you could have db issues if you tried to have two people access it at once ... i dont believe that the aperture db could handle multi access at once ... not robust enough ... no locking of records, etc ...

Can I have same Itunes library in two computers?

I would like to have the same library in two computers.
If I use home share to import the whole library, Does that mean the library will disappear from the "old" computer? or
Will I be able to keep the same library in both computers?
What will happens when I add music to one of the libraries? Will they update? or Do I have to do it manually? Can playlist be imported from home share too? and can I have same playlists in the two computers?
Thanks!

Again without firsthand experience my understanding is iTunes copies (not moves) just the media from the Home Shared drive and adds it to your other library as a new item. It will not affect the original library.
As for syncing idevices, they are intended to sync with just the original library and only one library at a time. Apple deliberately designed it this way, and not so you could plug them into a new computer and transfer the contents from the device to the computer (see exception below). More information:
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?

Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?
I have a catalog with 7000 images we have to process / crop / etc. and I was trying to find a way that two of us could work on the images at the same time.
Thanks!

No, the LR catalog is not multi user capable (and cannot reside on a network share without tricks). What you could do is
export part of the catalog (a subset of all images) into a separate catalog ("Export as Catalog", without exporting the negatives)
work on different images in the two catalogs at the same time
re-import ("Import from Catalog") the exported work after adjustments on it is finished

Has this ever worked? If so, restart your EPMA web service and the EPMA process manager service.
If this has never worked, can you goto http://EPMAMACHINE:19091/awb
where EPMAMACHINE is the ip address or name and see if you get the login prompt. If the login prompt here is working and you can login properly then I suggest you re-deploy workspace and the web server configuration from the config tool.

Can access c++ library from flash action script by using SWC lib?

We want to develope a Flash application based on Windows CE 6.0 R3. The application aims to communicate with middleware libraries written in C/C++. Is it possible to create SWC file using the c++ library file so that we can load this as a component in fla project for accessing the library functions from flash action script 3.0? OR Is there any simple way to access c++ library from action script?
Thanks,
Saumini

I don't think Alchemy will help you. The reason is Alchemy does not give socket capabilities beyond what Flash provides.

When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

Hi!
Yes, the way Sync works is that it puts all the Bookmarks together and pushes them to all your devices. Same with History.
You will not loose any information in any of your computers.

[HELP] I use Skype from two computers and i notice...

Sorry for reposting this topic, but it didn't appear on the forum.
Hey there.
I use skype from two computers.
Last week i blocked a contanct from computer1 and yesterday i unblocked it from the same computer.
So i noticed that after i unblocked this contact, it still appears at my homepage with his picture, info and everything, BUT only from computer1.
When i use computer2, this contact appears at my contacts, but only with his skype name (the one he uses to log in) and not with his display name. Also, i can't see his picture or any other information. It just appears offline, with his log-in name and with no picture. That's all.
So what's going on? Why can i see everything normally from computer1 but not from computer2?
P.S.1 99% he blocked me too, but i have no idea whether he unblocked me or not.
P.S.2 I know my english is horrible, sorry for that.
