Any update on synching catalogs between computers...

I didn't see this mentioned in the Victoria's posted release notes...
I'm wondering if there are any plans to add synching capabilities between computers? Having one catalog to use while tethering, exporting that catalog then importing it to my main catalog is just a lot of work that I wish didn't have to take place. I'd even be fine with a requirement to never have both catalogs open at once.
It would also be nice to do processing work on my MacBook Pro while away from home and then be able to easily sync those changes back to my Mac Pro (something like how ChronoSync works).

I would also like to have an easy way to work with one LRCAT set between multiple computers. With LR3 you cannot store LRCAT files on a network drive. If we could then we could use it more like a central database. Sometimes I am editing images on my main PC but other times I want to work on my catalogs elsewhere in myhome from my laptop and have to import/export to keep things in sync. I like may people that value their images like to keep my files on NAS storage to take advantage of the RAID1 protection and I belive with gigabit network equipement being the norm even for SOHO this should be acceptable performance, or at least a minor paus between image loads being much less of an anoyance than having to go through extra import/export processes.
I can also see a need for server based version of LR. Currently LR3 is conceptualy similiar to MS Access, and I can see a need for a self sufficient version of LR Server that would be conceptualy similiar to MS SQL Server. LR4 or a future version of the current LR product could be enhanced to be a required UI 'front end' or (a.k.a. fat client) to access the server based image reposator I will call LR Server.
This theoretical LR Server product would/should be licenced out of the box for single simultanious access so i lines up with the LR and PS EULA ability to use the same licence on a second portable comptuer for non simultanious use. Then there should be a way to upgrade the licence for multiple simultanous access for small companies that need one LR database accessed by multiple simultanous users. LR Server would not need security controls of its own as it can rely on usual server permissions, we just need easy central access without the anoyance of import/export processes.

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?

Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

Synching iTunes between computers

I backed up my files including iTunes from my iMac to Macbook pro.
If I add songs to iTunes on my iMac, and then update them to my iPod, how can I use the iPod to update the new songs onto my MBP?
Thanks.

A simple way to sync iTunes between computers is to turn on advanced > home sharing in iTunes on both computers.
Once activated on both computers, you can import tunes.
There is also a handy option at the bottom of the iTunes screen that will only display those tunes you don't have on the receiving computer—which you can drag and drop or select import

Is it possible to sync catalogs between computers?

I would like to sync PSE 10 catalogs (over my homegroup network) between my desktop computer (Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit) and my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit), similar to the syncing between a computer and the photoshop.com website. Is that possible?

If you're talking about synching the photos, and the photos are on the computers, the answer is "No" because the catalog keeps the location information keyed to the drive ID.
If you want to store the photos on a network storage device that's common to both computers, it can be done. See this FAQ:

ITunes 11.0.2 will not allow me to drag any files to import items between computers using Home Sharing. Help?

There are no "import" thumbnails and I'm un able to drag and drop files. I've ensured on both computers that they both have sharing capabilities. All the websites say that I should be able to just drag and drop the files into the outgoing computer linked to my homesharing network, but there is not reaction from the file when i try to grab it.Thanks everyone!

I can not find the "Show menu" button either!    I am trying to do Home Sharing between 2 PCs in the same room. The Home Sharing Libraries show up ok on each, with the various tunes displaying on each, but I can not move (or "import") tunes from one computer to the other!   It also won't allow me to drag from my husband's library to my library, and vice versa.    I can play them ok on each computer, but the dragging or importing is not happening.
Apple, please fix this!   Both PCs are up to date with iTunes 11.0.2.26.
Anyone have any suggestions?   I just want to move legally purchased music from one computer to the other. This shouldn't be that difficult.     It's supposed to be the point of Home Sharing!

Synch itunes between computers

Is it possible to synchronize itunes between two computers? I have a one computer which is backuped to an external drive. On my MacBook, I have some different songs including my wife's ringtone for my iPhone. If I just replace the file on my MacBook, I will erase said songs and ringtone. Is there a solution other than transferring one song and ringtone at a time?

No idea?
Assuming that I have the same content/songs on both pc and mac how can I keep both libraries up to date? I am not talking about synchronizing the music files but rather their settings and ratings. When I listen to the music on my pc the counter of played titles will increase. When I switch between pc and mac (and then mac and pc) how can I transfer these attributes?

Sharing catalogs between computers which include tags

We have about 10,000 photos to scan from my Mother's old albums (80 years of photos). We each have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. We want to split the photos up and each of us tag different photos (using same tag names) and then be able put it all together so that each of us have the same photos with the same tags. How can we do this?

Since there is no feature to merge catalogs in PSE11, you'll have to use a simpler workflow.
The idea is to do the scanning and tagging separately, and finally choosing the smaller catalog to prepare the import into the bigger catalog.
A few tips :
- Choose which catalog will be the final one and which will be the one from which the files will be imported into the main catalog
- A good idea would be that on the smaller one, you create a dedicated scanning master folder. If the files are saved on an external drive, that will make the import easier.
- Do as much organizing as you can : tagging, setting capture date and adding captions (very important for scans), star rating. You may want to rename files according to various presets.
- You can start with the same tags hierarchy in both computer : it can be saved as a text file and restored on the other computer
- When you are ready, you 'write metadata' to files so that the importing computer gets them back.
- Remember that you can't get back albums, version sets or stacks by writing metadata to files. So, use tags instead of albums; for version sets or stacks, maybe flatten them to keep the last (best) version at the import stage.
- Now, you can import all the files in the final catalog. If the files to import are on an external drive, there is no copy needed to the final computer. Otherwise, you have to transfer them as you prefer. In that case I would favor a full backup of the smaller catalog to an external drive and a restore on a new master folder on the final computer.
- Once you have done the import on the final computer, you'll have to share your work (catalog and full picture collection) with the owner of the first computer : I recommend a full backup to external drive of the final catalog and a restore to the smaller one.

How to synch app tab between computers

How do I get my pinned app tabs to synch between computers?

This is what the Adobe help file says about syncing site settings: (http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/synchronizing-dreamweaver-settings-creative-cloud .html)
Site settings: All site settings (except username and password) are synchronized between computers running on the same operating system. username and password cannot be synchronized.
The path and name of the local site folder is synchronized if a folder with the same name exists in the same path.
If a site does not exist on a machine, Dreamweaver creates a new site folder in the default location and all the paths are relative to this folder. You can change this path at any point in time. For all subsequent synchronizations, only the changes in the site folder are synchronized.
The only point here I can see thats might be relevant is "running on the same operating system". Are your two installs of DW CC on the same operating system?

I am unable to drag songs from a shared music library between computers. This was working until about a month ago. I have updated to the newest versions of Itunes on both computers (a macbook and an older Toshiba satellite). I have also rebooted both.

I am unable to drage songs from a shared music library between computers.   This used to work perfectly until a month ago.   I have installed the newest version of Itunes on both computers and have rebooted them, but nothing happens when I try to drag a song to another playlist or another shared folder. Any ideas how to fix this?

Any way to sync between computers?

I can't sync my Tungsten E2 to my Vista 64 computer. But I can sync to my XP Pro computer (32). Is there a way to sync between the computers? Or to use the files on the XP on the Vista 64?
Thanks,
Chas

This question was solved.
View Solution.

You cannot sync between computers, What can be done though, to get the data from your E2 to the Vista 64 bit PC is to sync by bluetooth. You can check in your device manager to see if the PC already has bluetooth installed. If it does just find the bluetooth port on your PC, put the E2 a couple of inches away from the PC and in hotsync manager choose to hot sync by bluetooth. If you don't have bluetooth already installed on your PC you will need to purchase a USB bluetooth dongle, install the drivers that come with it and then sync. The first time you sync it could take a little while depending on how much data you have on the device. Hope this helps.....

Problems with synching calendars between iPhone and Outlook 2007 on Windows

I recently purchased a copy of windows 7 ultimate 64. It was an English version, but since it is ultimate I downloaded and changed it to Danish - so far so good...
I have synch'ed between outlook and iPhone on a Vista platform without problems, but now on windows 7 when I sync - the result is, that on my iPhone the meetings, work schedules and birthdays I have in my calendar is shown a day too soon!!
I have checked that both iPhone and Outlook start the week on Mondays, so that is not an issue - I have updated my iPhone to the newest software with out any luck - so now I try and write here instead - hopefully someone can help me...
thanks in advance

yes they were set to the same timezone - which puzzled me a lot...
I lost a lot of sleep, but I can now say that I have solved the problem...
What I did was, that I un-installed microsoft office (desperate I know!) - then ran a sync with the iPhone choosing to overwrite the Calendar in the phone - as there was no calendar present - it deleted what was on the phone. Then I re-installed Microsoft office, by doing that, I didn't loose anything because the user files was still present including mail setting etc. - resynced the iPhone - and now it works...
Just can't figure out what went wrong in the first place...
thank you for your answer

Error in updating ALV field catalog in selection

Dear all,
I'm trying to use the standard transaction /SAPAPO/TSKEYFMAIN in order to check the TS values.
After filling the selection variant, the system shows the following error:
'Error in updating ALV field catalog in selection'
Could you please provide me with further details about the error? What could be the possible solution to avoid it?
Many thanks,
SM

Hi Marius,
thanks for your answer.
I would like to use the /SAPAPO/TSKEYFMAIN transaction to check massively the values in the time series KFs and not just the consistency of them.
So do you know any other transaction to do it or do you have an idea about the error of /SAPAPO/TSKEYFMAIN?
Thanks for your help!
SM

Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines

I have use of so many cloud services including the 20gb that Adobe gives me. Is there a way i can sync my catalog on the cloud so that i can have all my metadata on both my laptop and desk top? I also have 300gb of cloud storage though Copy. I would just like some recomendations on how best to go about it. Thanks

Hi Pat,
Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines
If you’re running Lightroom on a laptop during your location shoots, you might want to take all the edits, keywords, metadata, and of course the photos themselves, and add them to the Lightroom catalog on your studio computer. It’s easier than it sounds: basically, you choose which catalog to export from your laptop, then you take the folder it creates over to your studio computer and import it.
You need to decide whether you want to export a folder (all the imported photos from your shoot), or a collection (just your Picks from the shoot). In this case, we’ll go with a collection, so go to the Collections panel and click on the collection you want to merge with your main catalog back in your studio. (If you had chosen a folder, the only difference would be you’d go to the Folders panel and click on the folder from that shoot instead. Either way, all the metadata you added, and any edits you made in Lightroom, will still be transferred over to the other machine.)
Please refer to http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1930499 for more details.
Thanks!
