Can two Mac's share info back and forth?

Hi,
We have two computers in the office (an IMac and an IBook G4), and we're just wondering if it's possible to share files between them -- open Itunes on each other's computers, see files on one another's desktops, etc. We're not the most compuer savvy people here, and any help you can provide would be most appreciated!
Cheers!

Hi MainMusic, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sure can, are they connected to a Router perchance?
In System Preferences>Sharing Pref Pane>Services tab, turn on Personal File Sharing & Personal Web Sharing.
Try in the Finder>Go Menu>Connect to Servers, then the Browse button. If you see the other Mac, click on it and enter that Mac's username & that Mac's password.
We can do other stuff later if this works for you.

How can I work on same image back and forth from LR 5 to PS CC without constantly creating copies?

I make basic corrections in LR then "edit copy with changes" in PS. Once I save it back to LR it shows as a second file marked Edit. How can I go back to PS with that file to work on it again? I don't want a bunch of numbered copies, I want one final copy with as many changes as needed.

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I process all of my film scan images in PS initially for crop, dust removal, content aware fill and other "destructive" pixel editing. I then import the files into LR and do most of the tone and color correction with LR. Many times I need to edit the image back in PS to remove more dust spots with the healing tool or content aware fill, etc. To do this I use Edit in PS and choose 'Edit Original.' Of course I don't see the toning and color adjustments made in LR, but for these types of changes it really doesn't matter. After the PS changes are made the file is saved from inside PS and appears inside LR with the new PS changes applied AND the LR adjustments applied.
You can use the same processing workflow with ACR, PS, and Bridge, but then you lose all of the other features available inside LR.

Switching BW authorization concept back and forth on the fly

After upgrading to BW 7.0, we are currently developing the BW authorizations from scratch with the new analytical authorizations. The system is currently set to the legacy RSR authorization objects. The idea is now to define two timeframes on our development system, one for the users working with old authorizations, and a second timeframe for testing the new analytical authorizations.
Can we switch the authorization concept back and forth on the fly, or are there any obstacles?
Thanks in advance!

Andreas,
The latest version of BW is 7.3 which is also Analysis authorization concept like 7.0. So please clarify from the system status what level are you upgrading to.
Under 7.0, the RSR objects were still available i.e. you can switch the concept back and forth on the fly, it will trigger a transport. AFAIK - In 7.3 however there is no support for RSR anymore in fact even the object class is not visible and so does the switch for the concept and even RSR objects (Z-objects) do not show up in PFCG either.
So if you are moving to 7.0 switch is possible, 7.3 it is not. But in either case, you should be upgrading using a dual landscape with upgrade work being done & tested in separate boxes than daily production support landscape. It will come in handy at the time of testing also.

Best way to pass data back and forth from multiple NativeProcess threads

Hi all,
We have an application that requires multiple concurrent accesses to mulitple instances of a java NativeProcess. The input and output is XML data. I can see how to shunt this back and forth with only a single listening thread on stdout, but with multiple threads the whole thing is going to get rather jumbled. At the moment we are looking at using temporary files to read and write data from each instance, but I wonder if there might be a better way ... any suggestions?
Thanks.

I may not be completely understanding your issue...however you should be able to check which NativeProcess instance is giving you stdin/stdout/stderror data by checking the target member of the ProgressEvent. If that is not helpful, could you please provide some additional information about what you are trying to do, and what trouble you are running in to?
Thanks,

How can I use Mac OS 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 back and forth?

I installed Mac OS 10.5.5 onto my G4 Sawtooth, which is running on an upgrade processor at 1.3 GHz and 2 GB RAM. The machine also has been running with Mac OS 10.4.11. I love both Mac OSs. But it is cumbersome to restart the machine back and forth. Is there anyway that I do not have to restart the machine for switching the Mac OSs?
Thanks.

I'll check with OWC and see what they say. I have an ACARD 6880M AEC Controller attached to two internal HD. It caused two Maxtor HD,on e after the other, click-to-death. Since that, I removed the ACARD and have been using one HD without any more "clicking" noise. I posted in the thread below about my experience. Nobody had similar experience. Nevertheless, if OWC feels that ACARD can work with both Mac OS 10.5 and 10.4 at same time, I may consider to put the ACARD back and place another HD in and see if it works.

I use my ipod for audible books downloads. In the past I have been able to move books back and forth from library to ipod according to what I was listening to. I can no longer retreive books in the library. Any suggestions?

I use my 6th generation Ipod strictly for Audible downloads. In the past, I have been able to move titles back and forth from the Ipod and my Itunes library, to control the amount books on the ipod. Recently, an exclamation mark has appeared next to the titles as I try to transfer to the ipod, and the book does not transfer. Any suggestions on how to regain access to my purchased library?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Can two iTunes accounts share the same appleTV simultaneously ?

can two iTunes accounts share the same appleTV simultaneously ?

This should help:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder, but you can place the music elsewhere if you change the access permissions manually (don't start tinkering with permissions unless you're confident you know what you're doing and can reverse things if they get messed up).

Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
This is great. I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad. If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy. I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer.
I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad. I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad. But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad? I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud. I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be.

How can I toggle back and forth from a main pdf to its attachments?

I have a main document that I created in word and inserted hypertext to either link to 1) websites 2) a series of appendices, 3) 6 large format pdf maps or 3) a series of reference documents.
In Word, I have everything in a thumbdrive directory with the main file and three folders holding the individual files of the maps, appendices and references. All the links work but the file can't be copied to another drive without redoing all the links to the files (there are about 40 files all together).
I saved the word main document as a pdf. All the auxiliary files are also pdfs. All the weblinks came through in the pdf of the main document but the links to files need to be re-established.
1. I tried to create an acrobat portfolio with the main file and the folders of maps, references and appendices but I can't seem to make links in the main document to open up specific files in the folders.
2. I compiled all the files together into a binder and tried to use bookmarks to link the main part of the document to the first page of the 40 supporting files but at 700 pages the document is just too cumbersome to recreate the ~100 bookmarks I would need to add.
3. I tried adding everything as attachments and created links but once the link is activated from the main document and the new window opens, the main document has closed up. I need the reader to be able to toggle back and forth between the screen with the main document and the supporting documents.
What I am trying to create is one main document with links to the maps, appendices and references that will open a new window when each link is activated. Then the new window can be closed and the reader is back at the screen of the main document on the page with the link they just used.
This doesn't seem to me like it should be difficult since it almost works in Word except for the file structure.
I would really appreciate any guidance on how to make this work. The document and supporting files have already taken more than a year to put together and I'm stuck at this last step.

I think that the number of clicks to open a file is a rather shortsighted way to compare two operating systems.<<</div>
Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse ME!
I happen to think it's a pain to click twice on files when I'm used to clicking just once.
But Tiger is a nice operating system. I enjoy that it has much more capabilities than the OS9. I mean, Tiger keeps up with the advancing internet. My beef is really against OS9. I can open OS9 in Tiger but not Tiger in OS9.

On my imac, All of a sudden I am unable to send original emails with any attachments. I can attach the file but when I try to send it, it won't send. Also, if I am emailing back and forth as it gets longer, it no longer transmits

On my imax, all of a sudden I am unable to send original emails with attachments of any size. I can attached the file but when I try to transmit, it will not go.
Also, if I am emailing back and forth, once there gets to be several threads, it will no longer transmit. Any suggestions. I am using gmail in the apple mail system

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

Can photos be transferred back and forth from/to iPhoto and an external drive? If so, how?

Can photos be transferred back and forth from/to iPhoto and an external drive? If so, how?

When in iPhoto for iOS you can share your photo to iTunes and then connect your iPad to your computer and use the file sharing window to move the photo to any connected hard disk. Sharing to iTunes is the only way to maintain original file size when sharing a photo in iPhoto for iOS.

Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

Using vitual machine programs (VirtualBox, Parallels, VMWare Fusion) you can run both at the same time.
Load Windows under BootCamp. Then load the VM software and select the existing BootCamp partition as the "virtualized space".
But ... BootCamp first, following Csound1's advice about backups. And you will wantto boost RAM most likely because you need to allocate certain amount of system RAM to each "virtual machine", as well as leaving some for OSX.
But ... BootCamp first.

The screen on my MacBook goes black often. I can still see a faint image of what's on the screen, and can only get it to illuminate by moving it back and forth. What could the issue be? How can it be fixed?

The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

When I start it up it shows two two nested windows on the screen, has a Firefox yellow tab in the corner, does not display the toolbar bookmarks, the back and forth buttons do not work and there is no page refresh. No clue what is going on.

Every time I open up Firefox it appears to open two nested and linked windows, each with their own minimize, maximize and close buttons but the both work the same. The homepage does not come up, the back and forth buttons do not work. Both the refresh button and F5 do not work. The Bookmark Toolbar does not show up until I disable it in View and then re-enable it and this causes the outer nested window to disappear or close.

This issue can be caused by an extension or theme that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
