Can I edit a project on one Mac remotely from another Mac?

As far as I know, you can access and control a Mac from another Mac that is not on the same network, say if you are travelling with a MacBook Air and need to access files and applications on your iMac at home.
I'm wondering if it's possible to work with Final Cut Pro X in this way. So you could access the project on an iMac from a MacBook Air, see the screen of the iMac and enjoy all the power of the iMac for editing and exporting in FCPX while controlling it from your MacBook Air.
If so, that would be so convenient, whether it be while travelling or even when at home and wanting to make a quick adjustment to something from the MacBook Air resting on your lap.
Has anyone here ever done this or know if it's possible?
Thanks!

There are ways you can access the iMac and the screen and the software but it's not useable as an editing platform. The response time over the Internet is way, way, way to slow. Plus no keyboard shortcuts work. Everything has to be mouse driven.

  • How can I edit calendar reminders that still pop up from old .mac account?

    Can anyone help me?  I have 3 repeating, pop-up calendar items from my old.mac calendar that can not be edited in any way.  I can't get to them to delete them.  The calendar items do not show up in any other calendar, including icloud.

    thanks for the feed back - that sounds a bit involved - have retrieved the files and placed them in a folder on my desktop - will have them if they are ever needed, excepted that I will have to look at them individually as all the names are EMLX.

  • How can I make a member of one class accessible from another class?

    I thought by making a data member protected it was available to all members of the package, but the compiler is giving me an error. If I put the class name dot the data object it thinks it is a function and gives an error.

    I can't post actual code or I'll get in trouble.
    I can't create an instance of A because the class
    needing to call the structure is a Thread and there
    will be multiple instances of it.
    I need one solid structure and it can't be static
    because it has to be ablet o change.So you can't use a static and you can't use an instance. So how exactly do you ever access A?
    BTW you are describing the impossible so you need to take a deep breath and give an explanation that makes even a modicum of sense. Hint: what you have described thus far is nonsensical enough that nobody is going to want to steal your precious code trust me.

  • Cannot connect remotely from another Mac

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro from a reseller which was on display because it was the very last one in stock. Because of that fact it came with the store's user settings, usernames, etc. I changed all the settings (at least I think I did) and installed all my software without any complications but just recently I tried sharing my MB Pro screen on my wife's iMac and OS X Lion does not recognize my user name and password.
    I tried sharing my wife's iMac's screen on my MB Pro and that worked without problems. I also tested sharing my old MB Pro's screen on her iMac and it worked properly! I don't know what the issue is and I'm afraid I'll have to install Lion on my new MB Pro from scratch. I mean, I don't want to go through the hassle of installing all my software, transfering my files, etc. Please help!
    Thanks!!

    I'm gonna give iChat a try and will let you know of my results. Thanks.
    By WiFi Band do you mean "are they on the samen network"? Because if so, yes they are on the same network. I'm going to try creating a new user or logging in as Guest to see what results I get and will also let you know.
    Thanks again!

  • I can't edit my Project in iMovie 11-Gray Screen

    I completed importing all the clips into the PROJECT window from the EVENTS window that I needed.  Everything was working well until I imported a song from iTunes.  I tried ducking the song during a portion of a clip in the PROJECT window then all he(( broke loose.  It would not duck so I decided to delete the song from the PROJECT window.  It won't allow me to delete the song.  Now I can't edit the project.  I tried to rename the project and it allowed me in the PROJECT but has a gray viewing screen.  I still have sound in the clips but nothing but gray in the viewing area. If I close the project and close iMovie11 and then reopen iMovie 11 it will not allow me to Edit the Project.  If I change the name again it will allow me into edit but it will not allow me to edit and of course I still have the lovely gray viewing screen.
    Coaches at eleven (11) Division 1 universities are wanting this Recruiting Highlight Video of my son playing soccer and they want it in the next week or so.  I MUST get this thing finished. A scholarship maybe riding on this video or at least a second look at him in person.
    Can ANYONE help?  PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm using iMovie 11 9.0.4 (1634)
    Keith

    I had the same problem and did all of the suggestions such as deleted certain files (com.apple.imove....and com.apple.iapps....) from the preferences folder...didn't really help my situation so I decided to view "rejected only" clips and saw that a clip that was in my project was in the list.  So I deleted the clip and everything is working fine.  You will just have to import that clip again.
    Hope that helps...

  • I get the message "Install Adobe Flash" can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store. This is the first time I have gotten the message. What do I need to do?

    Hi Sandra,
    you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
    Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy.  There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:"  The default selection is 'Mac App Store'.  Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".

  • Can I restore backup from another mac with time machine?

    I would like to restore files from a TM backup from another Mac - is this possible? Thanks.

    I'm not sure I know how to help. I use OS X Server's Time Machine services from a Mac Mini to do my back ups to a drive connected to that server. I have the same user account on one MBP Retina that does not do back ups as another MBP Retina that DOES back ups. However, I can't even open the sparse bundle from the one that doesn't do back ups of the one that does (if that makes sense).
    You might try and see if this link helps. This guy was the TM guru around here. He might have addressed a solution to what you're trying to do.

  • I can not save any data to external hard drive from my mac pro. Is there anyone can help me in this regard?( note, when i first plug my ext. drive to mac i chose option to backup later)

    I can not save any data to external hard drive from my mac pro. Is there anyone can help me in this regard?( note, when i first plug my ext. drive to mac i chose option to backup later)

    The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

  • Can Acrobat be made to verify one form field against another?

    Here is an interesting problem, and I'm wondering if Acrobat has the functionality to solve it.
    The sales department is holding up application processing time.  They either forget to fill in blocks of information, or they misspell the buyer's name (Billy on page 1 and William on page 4). 
    Can Acrobat be programmed to verify one form field against another in order to eliminate these errors?
    Thank you.

    I had considered this as well.
    That solution would work in an ideal situation.  In this situation, however, it would probably not be a final workable solution.  Consider the case above.  This organization needs the full legal name on the application.  However, in the first field our friendly sales department enters Billy (instead of William).  If the "duplicate field" solution was embraced, Billy would automatically be embedded and a denial instantly triggered.
    If one form field can be verified against another, then can I assume various formulas could be generated from that?
    If field A then (B and C and D)
    If not field E (then no B and no C)
    Is this also correct?

  • ""Install Adobe Flash Player.app" can't be opened because... not downloaded from the Mac App Store"

    I jsut upgraded to 10.9 and it is up to date and also my safari is up to date (no updates available for it). My safari is saying that my flash is out of date. when I follow the links it lets me download but when I double click to install it tell me "“Install Adobe Flash Player.app” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.". When I install the flash UNinstaller and try to install that, it tells me the same. I ALSO found the exact same problem when I tried to install the acrobat installer (some tried to download a pdf and the page told me that my acrobat reader 'might' be out of date). Any thought?

    You're running up against the GateKeeper.
    Download the offline installer: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X) by right clicking and choosing "Download Linked File As".
    Mount the DMG and when it opens, right click the installer and choose "Open".
    You'll see a warning. Click "Open" again.
    It will run from there.

  • USB install from another mac?

    Hi, quick one if I may, I am looking to reinstall snow leopard on a new hard drive so my question is can I copy the necessary files from a friends Mac mini onto USB and boot from there? Obviously I'm not going to do this if it's illegal or whatever, thanks in advance

    If you own a retail DVD installer for Snow Leopard 10.6, but do not have an optical drive in your computer, or the internal one has failed, it is possible to use another computer's optical drive to install OS X into a Mac.
    {A copy from another Mac would not be correct or legal, also it likely won't work directly as the Installer puts correct parts into the machine it was installed into, such as hardware drivers, etc. And the disc is a license for one Mac to run it at a time.}
    Under this circumstance, there are a few methods of using another Mac to perform this task; one is Target Disk Mode, if both Macs have FireWire &/or Thunderbolt ports and correct cables. Another is to use a utility in the Mac by the name of 'remote install Mac OS X' in the Utilities folder. There may be other similar means, depending on the version of computer and OS X your system(s) are running.
    If only parts of the system are damaged or missing, you could use Pacifist utility from charlessoft company to extract the parts you need from a system disc, and it will install them from the desktop of the computer that needs them. The utility is a download and has a demo mode that should work adequately for this task.
    You should own the retail DVD 10.6 Snow Leopard, if you have a computer that runs it. The disc (as needed) is proof of the License to use the software. With later computers, the Apple ID and the mac/app store has a record of your activity in regard to permissions of use and end user license.
    Sorry to not be of much help.
    I have antiques & most DVD media for each system.
    And a few clones on external hard disk drives.
    PS: Not sure about the copy to USB recovery idea; later Lion 10.7 and Mt Lion
    had this, I'd seen info about it online. A cloned system, if your computer had one
    could be used to extract or copy parts from. Some don't like drag/drop install.
    Good luck & happy computing!
