Best Way To Sync School Files

Hi everybody, i am hoping to get an ipad 2 for x-mas and use it for fun and school work. i know about file browser and that other app that lets you remote desktop to your mac. i have some questions though. first can you open a word doc file from a server (external hd hooked up to router) and edit it in pages save it then go to a computer and continue working on it? if you can or can not what is the best way to access and work with a server with ipad. second if the server doesn't work what is the best way to have my school files sync on my ipad and on my mac (word docs and mabey other office files)
Last if i am not thinking in the right direction what would be the best way to use an ipad and a mac to sync and work on school documents?
I do not wish to buy a pc,laptop etc.
i want to use only an ipad 2 and a mac to do this. (apps too)

Also if i swithch to having iwork on all my devices (ipod touch, imac, and ipad) can i have an iwork folder on my computer that will sync with all of them?

Cloud Newbie: What is the best way to sync content files between locations?

Not new to Dreamweaver, but am new to the Creative Cloud. I typically carry an external drive with my web files and update site from home or work computer using those files. Now that I'm using Dreamweaver CC, I'm trying to find the most efficient way to sync content files between computers. I see that the "Sync Settings" allows for syncing of preferences - but not content. Anyone have a recommendation? Or do I simply make my changes at work. Then go home and download the page I made changes to update my home files?
Thanks,
George

The Cloud isn't going to synch your site files between 2 computers. That's not what it's for.
You might want to explore file check-in/out feature in DW.

This lets you check files in/out from your Remote server. That way, you know you're working on the lastest copy. Check-in/out is typically used in collaborative environments where 2 or more people work on the site. But it might serve your needs as well.

"Switching" Ipads... best way to sync apps/ files/ etc?

My current ipad (16 gb) is going to my mom, and I will be getting hers (64 gb) since I need the space for files/ videos/ etc.
We have our own apps and files on it already, what is the best way to "switch" Ipads?
If I restore it, can I get my paid apps back (my apps are on two devices already-- 16gb ipad and iphone)
thank you!

The iPads do not sync over wifi (except for some MobileMe stuff I think). When you switch syncing computers you should get a warning message that says that the iPad had been synced to a different computer. If you continue the contents of the iPad will be erased and replaced with those in the new syncing computer. You also may get an option to restore from backup. Syncing only syncs calendar, contacts, email songs etc but does not sync any data associated with any apps. To get back that data you have to restore from backup.

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. After a few days or weeks, I have new files on some folders on either of the machines that is not on the other machine. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

How did you transfer the files to the iMac. If you exported the files out of the MB library using Kind = Current you should get the edited version. Any other option may not.
If you want to keep the two libraries "synced" any photos you want to move to the iMac should be added to an album, connect the two Mac with a LAN, Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, with WiFi. and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album from the MB library to iMac library. It will also copy the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, etc.

What is the best way to sync media onto the iPhone using iTunes?

I know of two ways- one is be simply dragging items onto the iphone folder. The other is by clicking the iphone folder and selecting which playlists,artists, ect I want to sync.
Is there any difference between the two?

I have the same question: what is the best way to sync documents between mac devices?
But I want to be clear: normally when we use the word "synchronize" or "sync" we are referring to an automatic update to the latest version of the document, whatever the document.
Just to be clear: to "transfer" documents is not really the same as to "synchronize". I will add to the question here with my thoughts. Please excuse me if the om only wants to transfer documents.
We have tried, over many months, to use SugarSync. It worked great when I only put in about 10 files to be synced. It took the latest version and updated it on the other computers that were connected. But when we tried to sync the whole disk ... we just could NOT get it to work right. Meaning it would scan absolutely ALL of the files on the computer looking for the ones that were modified rather than just taking the lastest ones modified and syncing those. Their tech department was not much help: I followed all of the steps they told me to do but we just could not get it to work right. What a disapointment (and a loss of money).
I would love to find a software that automatically detects what the last modified files were and it will update ONLY that on the other devices (no matter what kind of files they are).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Best way to sync iTunes on 2 computers?

Hi
Can anyone suggest the best way to sync iTunes between 3 macs Mac Pro & 2 Macbook pros.
I edit and rate the music on the desktop so it's not as much about the mp3 files as much as it is not having to reinput the metadata 3x.
Also the iTunes folder on the desktop is on a secondary drive not the HOME folder.
When I DJ on Traktor it looks for the location of the mp3 files and if they are listed as being on another drive then it can't find them.
I used iTunes Ranger about 5 years ago and although it was slow it worked fairly well across 3 DESKTOPS but their website only lists up to Mac OSX 10.6.
Thanks in advance
Enio

I found this on Tuneranger page even though the site for the app creator seems dead
Q: The ratings, playcounts, etc. from my iPod won't copy over to my iTunes when using TuneRanger.
A: TuneRanger only supports syncing of iTunes metadata (tags not part of the music files such as ratings, playcount, etc) when doing an iTunes to iTunes sync over a network. We don't support syncing metadata to/from the iPod. All the tag info embedded in the files is transferred but those fields proprietary to iTunes are not.
Does anyone know how to sync BPM and Comments when iCloud is NOT an option? (I don't have internet when I am dj'ing nor would I want to depend on access from the server in a pro situation)

Before you go, move the files to I tunes and sync them down. There is no viable way to stream from your nas drive to the pad.

Best way to sync (shift to match) audio with video in FCE 1.01?

What is the best way to sync (shift to match) audio with video in FCE 1.01?
Step by step in simple wording please, since I am new at this.
Thank you so much.
Walter

As you probably know by now, DVD camcorders are not compatible with FCE or pretty well any other DV based editing system.
Possibly the simplest (though not cheapest) route would be by using an Analogue-Digital converter.
Streamclip and other similar programs are supposed to work but I have had no experience with them.
In the long run probably the best (but costly) solution would be to buy a Mini-DV camcorder - it doesn't have to be a top of the range model - even the cheapest ones can produce high quality video. Then you would not have to mess around converting DVD files with the inevitable loss of quality it entails.
A cheap DV camera need be not much more expensive than an A/D converter.

Best way to sync 2 macs

What is the best way to sync a MacBook Air with an iMac?

If you really want a no fuss solution I'll give you one that I've been using not for nearly a year. There are additional benifit's at least check it out at Synology .com
1. Purachase a Synology Disk Station (DS) I recommend for home users the DS112 ($199 + $100 for 2TB HDD) or DS112J ($149 + $100 fo 2TB HDD).
The DS has a app called Cloud Station (CS) that works just like DropBox with one exception you have 1, 2 or 3TB's of storage (depending on the space you choose) and the SYNC is much more secure since it's on your own home network. You can also set up CS to sync over the Internet which is more secure than DropBox IMO. You don't have to be a network expert by any means to set the DS up.....very simple instructions (do some reading and reasearching while you wait on your order). If you do need help Synology is very responsive to phone calls and emails. And the best thing about Synology they are very MAC friendly. And if you use Time Machine to do regular backup what's synced in CS will be backed up, because Cloud Station is just like another folder residing in your Home folder.
There are also YouTube videos on how to set up DS and CS. If you do decide to get one I'd be glad to help you set it up!!!!!!!!!
Cheers!
BTW, I used Chronosync but didn't really like it, seemed like I was always having to perform a manual sync and there were issues with some of the files syncing properly, that was my experience. Others may love it I didn't.

That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines.

Best way to handle text files in OD10g

We have a requirement to store reports in text format into a database field, to be able to view the reports, and to print them if desired using Forms 10g. What is the best way to handle this?
- define the field in the database as clob or blob?
- if CLOB is the choice, what tools to use to upload CLOBs to the database (since webutil transfer is for blob only)?
- in Forms 10g, can one use the Forms data type LONG for CLOB?
- can you do Forms search on clob and blob fields?
- how can reports that are stored in fields be viewed without first downloading to the client workstation?
- in Forms 10g, what is the best way to view text files residing in local PCs: "host notepad myFile"?
Thanks much for your reply!

Take a deep breath. Relax. All is fine.
iDVD does not look at the size of your video file, it looks at the length. iDVD can accomodate up to 2 hours of movie
iDVD gives you different options depending on the length of your movie. Although I won't agree with your friend about reducing the length of your movie to 15 minutes, if you could trim out a few minutes to get it under an hour that setting in iDVD (Best Performance though the new version may have renamed it) gives you the best quality. Still, any iDVD setting will give you good quality even at 64 minutes
In FCE export as Quicktime Movie NOT any flavour of Quicktime Conversion. Select chapter markers if you have them. If everything is on one system unchecked the Make Movie Self Contained button. Drop the QT file into iDVD

What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

(I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.

What is the best way to safeguard my files and pictures before I send off my MacBook Pro to get fixed?

What is the best way to safeguard my files and pictures before I send off my MacBook Pro to get fixed? I am running Mavericks and use an AirPort Time Machine to back-up all my files.

Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. You need at least two independent backups to be completely safe. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore to an empty drive.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

What is the best way to merge a file content into log file

What is the best way to merge a file content into log file.
In worst case, I will read the file line by line as string, then use
logger.info(lineString)to output to log file.
However, is there better way to do this?
The eventual log file will be something like:
log message 1
log message 2
content from file line 1
content from file line 2
content from file line 3
log message 3
log message 4Thanks

Thank you and let me explain:
1. What do you mean by better?
I would like to see better performance. read line by line and log each line as string can be slow. Did you measure this and determine that it is actually a problem for your application? Or are you guessing?
Regardless of what you do you are still going to need to read the file.

2.The only better way I can think of is not having to do it, but I assume you have a very good reason to want to do this.
Yes, I have to do it beacuse the requirement is to have that file content be part of logging.
Any idea?How is it supposed to be part of it? For example which of the following is better?
        File AAA - contents
                   First Line
                   Second Line XXX
        Log 1
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: First Line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Second Line XXX
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following line
        Log 2
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: ----- File: AAA -------------
                First Line
                Second Line XXX
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following lineBoth of the above have some advantages and disadvantages.
The first in a mult-threaded app can end up with intermittent log entries in between lines, so having log lines with thread ids becomes important.
The first can be created by reading one line at a time and posting one at a time.
The second can be created by reading the entire file as a single string and then posting using a single log statement.

What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?

          What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?
          I want to find a configuration file not contained within the war file I have
          created. Is there a way to pass information into the ServletContext with out
          rebuilding the ear or war files? Tomcat 4.0 can do this in its server configuration
          files. Does BEA have the equivalent?
          Regards,
          Eric


You can specify the path to the file as a system property
          eg
          java -Dconfig.file.location=./mydirecotry/myfile.txt com.test.MyApp
