Can you have the same smart object in two files?

The situation:
I have a 'base' file A, with two (different) smart objects B and C. Now I want B and C to both contain a third smart object D, and I can't get that to work.
I can place the same file as a smart object in B and C, but it becomes two different smart objects, which are seperately editable. I would like to be able to edit smart object D and the changes to be visible in both B and C and in turn in A.
Is this at all possible?
and please, I'm not looking for workarounds. I have plenty of those, but it would save me a lot of time time if this were possible.
thanks

That's exactly what I need,
but,
some technical issues prevent it from working in Windows Vista or Windows 7
, I'm on win7

That's no problem. just 2 times a ctrl-s. Takes no time at all

  • HT204053 Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices ?

    I have an MacPro and I am buying an iPad.  Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices or should I create an new AppleID for the ipad?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Apple ID purpose is to have the same data in all your devices and share your purchases among all your devices, so you can use your Apple ID in both devices

  • HT4759 can you use the same apple id for two phones on the cloud?

    can you use the same apple id for two phones on the same verizon account and if so can you keep there contacts etc. separate?

    If you want to keep your contacts and other data you sync with iCloud separate, you'll have to create separate iCloud accounts, which will require different IDs.  If you share the same iCloud account/ID on multiple devices, the synced data will be merged and will appear on all devices syncing with the shared account.
    You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't have to be the same as the one used for iCloud.

  • Can I have the same iTunes library on two computers?

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro with two different iTunes libraries. I want to have the same library on both computers with playlist and all, so that if I do anything on the iMac, the macbook will sync. Anybody who can tell me if this is possible and how to do it? I also have a timecapsule if that matters?

    Hello henrik100,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Home Sharing in iTunes is designed to let you easily share your iTunes media libraries between up to five computers in your household.

  • Can you have the same song on 2 different albums ?

    I would like to use the same track on 2 different albums.
    For example, one track on the original album and the same track on my own compilation album.
    One way would be to make two copies of the track and call them different names.
    e.g. UseSomebody1.mp3 and UseSomebody2.mp3, then these two tracks can be added to the library.
    But this seems a waste of space.
    I have an existing compilation album with odds and sods of my own tracks. But I want to pick and choose a few tracks from other albums and add to my existing compilation album.
    I know about playlists but this isnt the ideal solution either, because I have an existing compilation album already and I want the album to be in the main library (i.e. not have to go thru the playlist menu on the iPod).
    I just wondered if there was a way of having 2 seperate tracks in iTunes that point to the same file.

    I made a copy of this mp3 file on my desktop and called it "Kids_MGMT.mp3"
    I added the file to library but the second copy does not appear, even after a refresh and a search.
    Find the original library entry and change something in the metadata, e.g. add an Album Artist even if you don't need it. Then go back to the renamed copy and move it into your iTunes folder at an appropriate location, right-click the file, and choose Open With > iTunes. It will immediately show as a separate library entry.

  • Can you transfer the same iTunes library to two laptops?

    I have a really slow PC, with my whole iTunes Library on.. Is it going to be possible for me to transfer my whole library to a new PC but keep the library on the slow PC as well? Thanks in advance.

    In itunes if you enable Home sharing you can log in to the same exact account you can import your songs from 1 library to the secondary library

  • I am looking to change my apple ID because my e-mail is changing. How can I do this? or Can I have the same e-mail for two computers?

    I am looking to change my Apple Id (changing my internet profider), which is my e-mail, How do i do this? or, can i have two computer using the same gmail e-mail as a apple id ?  thanks!

    My iTunes appleID is an old defunct e-mail address - it does not have to be functional.
    Do what Winston says to ensure you keep getting correspondence related to that ID.

  • Can i have the same itunes acct for two ipods (one nano and one shuffle)?  the shuffle is new and i want to duplicate the music. how do i do this?

    I have a nano that's a couple years old with an itunes acct.  Just got a shuffle and want to duplicate the playlist on the shuffle.  When I plug in the shuffle to the existing acct nothing happens.  How do I copy that music onto my shuffle.  thanks.

    Yes.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphone/ipads as you like to one computer/library.  This has nothing to do with your issue.
    Itunes does not "see" the ipod?

  • When you have 1 itunes library.. and 2 ipods.. different names.. how can you share the same library???

    When you have 1 itunes library.. and 2 ipods.. different names.. how can you share the same library???  All of the songs that were put on there from a CD will sync, but the songs that were purchased.. "cannot be found"   How can we merge them?? or how can we share all songs.. purchased or not!

  • Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

    We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID.  Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine?  I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.

  • Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

    Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

    you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

  • Can you use the same Apple Id on different devices.

    Can I use the same Apple ID on two different iPads? My kids just got school issued iPads and they need to have an Apple ID. They have iPhones with there own Apple ID's. We use one Apple ID for purchases for our family. Can they use there current Apple ID with the iPads without the purchase Apple Id being associated. Will they be able to load music and apps that were purchased with the family Apple Id?

    I am just a little confused about the way that you asked thes questions. But here is my take.
    1. Yes - You can use two Apple ID's on an iPad.
    2. You can use the same Apple ID on up to 10 total devices - but there is a five computer limit in that total of 10 devices.
    3. If you use one ID for some things and then use the family ID to download past purchases for free - you will lock themselves out of the other ID for 90 days.
    4. When you download a past purchase on an iDevice using a different ID - you associate that device with that ID and you are locked into that ID only for 90 days.

    How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini ?

    Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want.  iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.
