Can one 'copy' Shadow\Stroke settings from one graphic to another?

I'm always juggling hundreds of stills. I'd love to be able to just copy the Shadow settings from one still to another. Or to be able to 'lock' the setting so that they are all they same when applied to a set of stills.
Is something possible here?

Yes:
- select your shape you want to use as a "style model"
- <pre>Format > Copy Graphic Style</pre>
- select all the shapes you want to apply the same graphical style to
- <pre>Format > Paste Graphic Style</pre>
You can also adopt it as a default graphical style forever:
- select your shape you want to use as a "style model"
- <pre>Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style</pre>

Can you copy Modern-app settings from one computer to another?

Has anyone tried copying settings of Modern apps from one computer to another?
Example: let's say that I wanted to copy the settings from the Photos app on one computer to a thousand other computers. Would this work? Are settings for Modern apps in a format that can be easily copied?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Thank you! It's so obvious now that I've given it some thought (hindsight is 20/20, right?) Wish the Apple tech at the store had thought of it before I was sent on my merry way and was under the impression I had what I needed.
Def appreciate the quick answer from you tho'

You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

I can't copy iTunes media files from one external hard drive to another.

Hi, I am running the latest iTunes and Mavericks software on my MacBook Pro. My iTunes library is stored on an external Seagate 2tb hard drive and it is almost full. I want to transfer the files to a WD Elements 3tb external hard drive and have made that new volume the destination folder for my iTunes library. However, even though I have enabled read/write on both volumes and made the iTunes media folders on both shared folders, I can't copy all the files from the Seagate drive to the WD drive. It comes up with an error message that says "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)". I can transfer files from my MacBook hard drive to the new volume, but can't copy files from the old Seagate volume to my MacBook hard drive; it makes the "boing" sound that indicates it is copying but nothing transfers. Files that won't copy include all music files, some video files and all podcast files. Some transferred with no problem. Any ideas out there?

Hi Limnos, thanks very much for your reply.
both external drives came preformatted for Windows but I erased each and reformatted them for Mac before using them.
i made the destination folder on the new WD drive the new iTunes folder using Advanced preferences in iTunes.
my original iTunes folder on the first drive contained all my iTunes files, as that, also, was the destination folder that was linked via Advanced preferences.
If I download new content now with the new drive attached, iTunes has no trouble finding where to place the files.
in Preferences I have both boxes checked (copy files" and "organize") that deal with copying iTunes files.
When I first attempted to copy all iTunes files from one media folder to the other on the external drives, I just did a drag and drop of the whole iTunes media folder from one to the other while both were mounted on my desktop. It started copying immediately with no problems, but as it progressed it started skipping files, each time displaying the error message I reported earlier. that included my entire Music folder. When I open, for example, a season folder that contains files that would not copy, eg, Modern Family Season 5, the episodes that won't copy are there and visible but any attempt to drag and drop them into the correct folder on the new drive results in the error message. There is no pattern to it; it will choose some episodes from some seasons but not others, and no music at all.
when I look at the "missing" files in iTunes they have the small exclamation mark that indicates the file is missing, but when I locate it through iTunes it doesn't copy the file on the old external drive to the new one. It just plays it having found the file on the old drive.
originally I had to make the iTunes folder on the old drive into a shared folder using the Get info window after either a software upgrade or an OS upgrade (I can't remember which, it was several years ago). For some reason the upgrade changed the preferences of that folder to a Read Only folder and after researching the problem found the only way to keep using the drive was to make the folder a shared one. I can't remember why and I apologise for that but it was a long time ago.; I can tell you that at the time it was necessary.
thanks again for your time; I have a good working knowledge of iTunes and Macs in general so I truly believe I have done everything according to how it should be done,, but clearly I've done something wrong!

How can I copy an iPhoto book from one Mac to another?

I'm wanting to copy an iPhoto book from one MBP (OS 10.7.3) to another (10.8.3). Is there an easy way to do it?

You will have to copy the entire iPhoto Library to the other Mac as the library is a virtual entity in the library recorece in the database files.
Once it's been copied launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the libary in the window that appears. I
NOTE: if the new Mac has newer iPhoto version than the old Mac check to make sure it has the same theme that you used in the book. There were some changes in themes from iPhoto 8 (09) to iPhoto 9 (11). If your new iPhoto doesn't have the same theme you may want to complete the book on the old Mac.

Can I copy a Backup file from one PC to another and use it?

Can I copy a Photos library from one Mac to another?

I have upgraded an iMac and MacBook Pro to Yosemite 10.10.3, and am switching to the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library. I want to keep full copies of my Photos library on both the iMac and MacBook Pro, with an Optimised version of the library on my iPhone.
My iMac has the master Photos library. It is slowly uploading the 28,000 photos in the library to iCloud Photo Library, and they are slowly appearing on my other devices.
The question is, can I copy the Photos library from the iMac to the MacBook Pro via a USB hard drive, and expect iCloud Photo Library to work out that each photo is duplicated in the two libraries, or will I end up with duplicates in iCloud Photo Library? What would be the effect if I were to change the MacBook Pro to Optimised after copying the Photos library?
If I can do this, it will mean I can see my Photos library on my laptop much sooner, and I might be able to get my MacBook Pro to the office which has much quicker upload speeds. I don't fancy taking my iMac in to the office, and my boss might ask an awkward question or two...
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, and no. Yes, if the plist(s) don't contain any pathname info. Obviously, no, if they do, unless of course the other system has the exact same directory structure and filenames.
I should add a little caveat about preference panes. User prefpanes may store plists in ~/Library/ByHost. And the plist filenames in there usually have a long code and letter sequence which I think is machine specific. So they probably would be problematic moving to another machine.

Can I copy and past iPhoto from one computer to another?

I just bought a used Mac Mini to give to my in-laws. I used the original boot disks to reinstall the software. I then upgraded to Leopard. When all was said and done, everything was wonderful except that iPhoto was nowhere to be found. Going back to the original install disks in Tiger I tried to install via the 'bundled software' but got a 'failed install' because disk 2 apparently is faulty.
Can I copy my iPhoto application from my iMac Intel Core 2 to the MacMini? I have tried several other strategies involving install disks, etc. It's iPhoto 6.06. I'm stymied.

Thanks, Terence. I thought probably that was the case. I guess my only choice is to go back to the beginning with the Tiger install and see if it comes out right.

Can I copy a Master Page from one document to another?

Hi - this might be a basic question, but I haven't figured out the answer yet. I have one .muse site with a Master Page that I used... I want to use that same Master Page on another .muse site that I'm working on. Is there a way I can copy the Master Page from the finished site into the other one that I'm working on?? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Blair

Hi Blair,
You should be able to do this by simply selecting (Ctrl+A) and copying (Ctrl+C) all content of the Master page of Site1 and Paste in Place (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V) in the Master page of Site2.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Can I copy and paste the texts or graphics to another project?

Hi folks, I am working on several movie clips which share the same graphics and most contents as beginning intro. Just a few sentences are different. If would be so much hassle if I had to type everything and import the images to every clips. I noticed that I can't open two projects at the same time. So I am wondering if I can group them, copy and paste them to another project? Is it doable?
Thanks a lot for your time!

Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is a repository for articles on how to do things in PrE & PrPro. Maybe Steve Grisetti, our tireless MOD, can move your post to the main forum, where more folk will see it, and can comment on it.
In the meantime, you are correct - one cannot have two Projects Open at the same time, and you cannot Copy/Paste between Projects, without an additional program, like the Clipboard extender, ClipMate. That is one way to get what you want.
Possibly there is another way to do what you want, without any additional programs. If you have Titles, and they will only change by a bit, you can create a "master" Title with graphics, text, Styles, etc., and then Save each as a Template, which can be used in multiple Projects, and also altered/edited in those Projects, as is needed. Everytime that I create a Title, with potential for reuse, I just do the Export as Template (the exact syntax might differ by version, but the result is the same - a PRTL Title Template file, located where you direct the program), and then those will appear in my Title "organizer" to be chosen. When one Imports one, they can be edited, as needed.
If one has an Intro, that will be reused, then one could create that, with any audio, images and Titles, and Export/Share as a DV-AVI, or similar, for later use. Note: with this method, one could not directly edit any Titles in such an Asset, as they would no longer be official Titles, and would be footage in an AV Clip. One could Cut out a Title, and replace it with a real Title, but then one would have to adjust for Transitions, if any were used. Still, I have some Intros, and Outros, that are constant, like The End Outros, and I use the Exported AV Clips there. In some cases, I leave the Intro, or Outro slightly unfinished, so that I can just add in, say a Title for each use in other Projects.
Good luck, and when the post is moved to the main forum, there will probably be some additional comments on slightly different workflows.

Can i copy an email folder from one Mac to another?

I have some emails (in an email inbox folder) that i need to copy from my iMac to my Macbook Air. I don't need ALL the emails from inbox etc.. just that certain Mailbox with about 15 emails in it.
Is there some way i can copy them to a USB thumb drive ? I tried dragging the emails to the thumb drive but it didnt work.
Or any other way to copy them maybe, like wirelessly or something.
If it helps, the iMac is running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard and the Macbook Air is running 10.5.8 Leopard.
Thanks in advance

From Mail's Help File:
You can archive (create a backup copy) of a mailbox so you can retrieve messages if needed.
To archive a mailbox:
Select one or more mailboxes to archive.To select mailboxes that are next to each other (contiguous) in the list, hold down Shift as you click the first and last mailbox; to select mailboxes that are not next to each other in the list, hold down Command as you click each mailbox.
Choose Mailbox > Archive Mailbox, or choose Archive Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) at the bottom of the sidebar.
Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the archives, and then click Choose.Mail archives the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you’ve already archived a mailbox, Mail does not overwrite the existing file but appends a number to the filename to create a new version of it.
If you need to recover messages, you can import an archived .mbox file as “Mail for Mac OS X.”
ALSO
Mail can import messages from other email applications, or messages that you’ve archived using Mail.
To import messages:
Choose File > Import Mailboxes.
Select the mail application you want to import messages from.If you’re importing a mailbox archived from Mail, choose Apple Mail.
Follow the instructions that appear onscreen.
Make sure the application you’re importing from is open and running, because some of the options require this.
If you’re importing messages from a Windows or UNIX computer, select “Files in mbox format” and locate the folder containing the files.
If the email application you’re switching from isn’t listed, click Cancel. Consult the documentation for the other application to learn how to export your messages in mbox format (most email applications can). You can then import the mbox format files.
Your imported mail is stored in a new mailbox called “Import.”

How can I copy/paste a page from one pages document into another pages document?

I have read the directions in the manual, but when I go to the document where I want to put the page the paste function is greyed out. I assume this has something to do with styles, but can't find what to do.

You got it.
Paste is greyed when we try to paste a page from a WP document into the thumbnails area of a Layout one.
It's active if we try to paste in the pages area.
In the document's tool bar, there is an icon with a + symbol at top left.
In WP documents it's named Sections, In Layout ones its named Pages.

Can you copy music and apps from one iTunes account to another?

My nephew got an iPod touch for Christmas and for some reason my husband decided to add it as a new device to my iTunes account and purchased games and music and put these onto the iPod. So now he has access to my password, etc.
What I really want to do is set up a new iTunes account for my nephew, but will I be able to transfer his games and music purchased under my account onto his new account or will we lose them all?

Can I copy a meta outline from one model to another model in EIS?

Hi All,
I have 2 OLAP models in my EIS Essbase Integration Services. In the first OLAP model, there is already a meta outline.
I want to copy this outline to the 2nd OLAP model. Can I do it ? If yes, then how?
Kindly Advise.
Thanks in Advance.

Sorry Avishek - I really can't. It's been a very long time, and I don't even have an instance of EIS installed at the moment! Stating the obvious, but I would assume you're looking for the name of the model in there. My recollection is that at least the fundamental features of the XML aren't too hard to decipher.
