Color calibration files - move between computers?

This isn't exactly a G4 specific question, but here goes:
I have a Samsung SyncMaster 740 display which I usually use with my PowerBook G4. I have a very well calibrated Color Sync profile which I use with this display. However, since I'm limited in space now, I'm using this display with both my PowerBook and my PowerMac G4 Sawtooth - the DVI connected to the Powerbook, the VGA to my G4. It has an input selector, so it works fine.
However, the G4 does not have the correct color sync profile. I'm using the Adobe RGB profile now. I have a Color Sync profile on my Powerbook, which I've transfered to the G4 and placed in the Macintosh HD>Library>ColorSync>Profiles>Displays folder. No luck, while ColorSync utility can open it properly, System Prefs won't allow me to set it as my display profile. Is there any way around this?
Thanks a bunch,
-Dan
PS: I'm running a 400mhz Sawtooth G4, with the standard Rage 128 card, and 10.4.9. The Powerbook is a 15", 1.67 model, with 10.4.9.

Thanks useless,
This would work, I think. I don't have the Thuderbolt/Firewire connection I would need, although I could buy the required converter. I was hoping to do it wirelessly. Can I do the same thing wirelessly through my modem/router?

Windows 8.1 ICS with file sharing between computers

Can someone help me get ICS working with file sharing between two computers (directly connected), without enabling file sharing on the internet network (on a public untrusted network)? Is this possible? I have set up ICS between two Windows 8.1
machines, but i can only get file sharing to work in one direction (from machine B to machine A)... UNLESS I turn on file sharing/discovery with the entire network from machine A (which i do not want to do). I am not sure this exact question has been
asked, so my apologies if it has.
Here is my configuration.
Machine A: win 8.1 (up to date), two NICs: a wireless card (connected to internet) and a gigabit NIC (connected to machine B)
Machine B: win 8.1 (up to date), one NIC, a gigabit card connected to machine A
What i did:
On Machine A: I enabled ICS on machine A's wireless card, which automatically assigned the IP address 192.168.137.1 to the second NIC
On Machine B:DHCP was enabled so it automatically got an ip address (192.168.137.62), internet sharing works fine (i can open a browser, get email, etc.)
On Machine B: I enabled "Find devices and content" on the network device
On Machine A: Going into "view network settings" it lists my wireless network and the gigabit NIC. The wireless under 'Wi-Fi' says 'Connected', and i can click on this and I have the option to turn on "Find devices and content".
On the wifi connection, i leave 'Find devices and content' turned OFF (so i don't discover computers on the wireless network, which is a public network). My gigabit NIC shows up as "unidentified network"/"Limited".
When i click on the gigabit NIC, it does NOT give me an option to turn on "Find devices and content", it just shows some properties of the NIC (manufacturer, description, driver, mac address) and button that says "Copy". On
the gigabit connection's properties (which is listed as "unidentified network/limited"), the option for 'Find devices and content' is missing.
On Machine A: I open a file browser and type '\\192.168.137.62' and it works correctly, i can see the computer and move files around.
On Machine B: It doesn't work. I open a file browser and type in "\\192.168.137.1", and nothing happens.
If i enable 'Find devices and content' on machine A's wifi connection, everything works, but now everyone on the public network can see my computer.
Question: How can i enable file sharing between machine A and machine B ONLY?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

The whole point of public networks is that they are unsafe, so file sharing is not permitted for your protection.
If you have a network which you know is safe, the way to get file sharing working is to change your security policy so that it is set to private, not public. You do this from the local security policy (on the ICS computer).

Export/Import file ratings between computers

I've tried to find a way to export and import file ratings between my laptop and my desktop. I have the photos stored on both machines. I take my laptop to the client and rate the photos. How do I copy just the ratings without having to copy the entire directory?
I have Bridge CS4 on a Windows XP machine.
I've tried copying the xmp files. I've tried exporting the cache. But neither of these give me rathings on my desktop.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

It depends on your type of files.For DNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF and others, the rating is stored in the image file itself (like other EXIF, IPTC or XMP metadata).
For most RAW formats, it may be stored in the XMP sidecar files. Have a look at your images with a tool like ExifToolGUI and look for the XMP field called "Rating". It's either in the image file or in the sidecar file. If it's in the image file, I'm afraid you'll have to either copy the images or find a way to export the ratings to a seperate (text-)file and re-apply from there, but I don't know how to do that.

So there is no way to move a rented HD movie between computers?

I just rented a HD movie on my 13" MacBook, but I really want to watch it on my 24" iMac. I can't just move the file, my iMac won't play it stating it has been locked to another computer. Some threads are saying that I can move it by syncing it to my iPhone, but the iPhone won't recieve the movie because it's in HD.
So... Is there REALLY no way for me to watch this film on my iMac without paying the $4.99 again??? I wouldn't in my wildest dreams suspected that I couldn't move the file between my approved computers, otherwise I wouldn't have rented a HD movie onto a 13". (why the heck would I do that??)

Is there REALLY no way for me to watch this film on my iMac without paying the $4.99 again?

Moving iWeb domain file among/between computers?

Greetings:
I'm working with a student who started his iWeb on a campus library computer and is trying to open the resulting 'domain' file to another computer, in another lab. He seems to have trouble opening it in order to continue working on it.
Is that possible: to begin an iWeb site on one computer and then move it among computers to work on it?
Thanks very much, in advance --
Best,

Aperture File Transfer between Computers.

How can I transfer files from the Aperture Library (or individual projects/folders/image files) from my field laptop (MacBook Pro) to my main Aperture Library, which is located on a 2 Terabyte Buffalo external hard drive connected by USB 2.0 to Aperture on my iMac Desktop. My computers communicate on a wireless network. I would like to make adjustments in Aperture on the laptop prior to transfer. Therefore, I need to preserve the XMP sidecar data along with the master file. On my wireless network, I can open the Picture folder on the laptop from my iMac. Is there a way to import the contents of the laptop Aperture Library directly into my active Aperture library on the iMac?

Thanks, RWB and WL. The program exporet, transfer, and import worked perfectly. Just had to turn Airport off on the laptop before importing the .approgram file into Aperture on the desktop, since I have used the same copy of Aperture on both computers. Apple license allows primary owner to install and register their copy of Aperture on 1 desktop and 1 laptop. However, Aperture cannot be active simultaneously on both computers on the same network, since Apple detects the same serial number and locks the .approgram file.

File transfer between computers?

1) When I transfer stuff by FireWire & Migration Assistant from one computer to another, does it all go in a folder, or is it scattered throughout the recipient computer?
I have not found this answer so far in Apple Support.
Also, there seem to be slightly differing instructions in Apple Support regarding how to transfer files this way.
This is to be just a temporary transfer while I change out (add) memory in my very-disturbed iMac.
2) Does this process remove everything from my source computer, or does it just make a copy of it all?
Thanks for the help.
Txgrandmater

Migration Assistant transfers to the same location as the data reside on the other computer. MA is not intended to be used as a way to sync files from one computer to another. It also isn't a backup utility. Given what you intend a better choice would be a backup utility that can transfer selected files and folders across a network connection. Possible candidates are:
1. Transfer the data manually by drag and drop.
2. Deja Vu
3. SilverKeeper
4. Tri-Backup
5. Synk (Standard or Pro)
Look for the above at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.

Bluetooth file sharing between computers will not connect with my iPad 2. Any help will be nice

I have been trying to send files through bluetooth and cannot get the ipad to receive. Does anyone know how to fix this? Can it be fixed?

That depends.
If you have Pages on your iPad and Pages on your computer they should both support iCloud. Setting up iCloud and turning it on for Pages will allow Pages documents to be sync to both devices simultaneously.
I do this all the time. Changes I make on my iPad are automatically synced to my iPhone and computer.

Bluetooth Connection between computers

I have a question concerning file transfers between computers. I know how to use the file sharing via the ethernet connection but is there any way to transfer files from my computer to a fellow Mac users computer via Bluetooth?? I don't always have a cable on me so that would be a great way to transfer stuff!! Thanks to anyone that can assist in this area.

See here and here for information; if the destination machine has Mac OS X 10.5 installed, turn on Bluetooth Sharing in the Sharing pane of System Preferences.

How do i move adobe licences between computers

I need to move adobe versions between computers, can I uninstall and re install on the computers I need using the same serial numbers?
Also Can I also have a record from adobe of what our organisation has purchased?

You will have to manually transfer the files from one computer to the other using whatever method is easiest for you. (network, DVD, CD, hard drive) Or, put files on network drive. That's what I do.

How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

Hello cacalenni,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you wish to learn how to import songs using Home Sharing in the new iTunes. The following resource should assist you in doing so:

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

How to share files between computers and TC

What is the best way to share content/files between computers (iMac and MacBook Pro)?
I thought about using Time Capsule for this...is this NOT wise?
Thanks

What is the best way to share content/files between computers (iMac and MacBook Pro)?
The simplest way to do this would be to enable File Sharing on both Macs.
On each Mac....
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Sharing
Enter a check mark next to File Sharing
Now when you open the Finder or Macintosh HD, you will see the "other" Mac and you will be able to access files/folders, etc. on the other computer.
I thought about using Time Capsule for this...is this NOT wise?
The Time Capsule was designed to work with the Time Machine application to back up your Mac(s). As such, the TC will make a complete copy of each Mac on the first backup and backup any changes after that to keep a complete timeline of each Macs files. Each computer normally will only be able to access the backups for that given computer.
While it is possible to store normal files or folders on the Time Capsule disk, this is not generally recommended as there will eventually be a struggle between Time Machine and the files on the disk as the drive begins to fill up. The other thing to keep in mind is that access to the drive for "normal" files will be quite slow.

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this

The Creative Cloud application becomes inoperable continually on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems. I'm tired of re installing the application after deleting the OOBE file to get updates and syn settings between computers for Photoshop. Is this an endemic problem with others? I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. Is this an issue with the problem?

Similar problem just happened to me with the Creative Cloud Update 1.7.1.418—slightly different so I thought I'd share. I have multiple Adobe Creative Cloud programs installed on my computer, all working just fine. I updated the Cloud App to the latest version and then it shows me that I have only one program installed! All my previously installed programs (Photoshop and the like) still work but show as "install" instead of "Up to date". Initially I thought I'd have to re-install the Cloud app or recreate the OPM data base but then I noticed that some of the Cloud app preferences (Apps > Settings > App Language) were different to what I had set previously. I use English (International) language, the update had reverted the app back to English (North American). I flicked back to my previous language and bam, all my apps now show as being installed correctly.

PS file in illustrator changes color when I move it??

When I open a ps file in illustrator some objects change color when I move them and are displayed correctly in preview and Photoshop, why and how do I fix this?
Also the object seems to be duplicated. It should have the same and only the colors of the scale bar. In another file the image part is correct and the scale bar is incorrect.
Should look like this:

It is an odd problem. The "good" screen shot is from opening the PS file in mac's preview. As it is, I use several tools in illustrator to get the final image where I need it to be; several layers and what not. I have tired 5, 5.1, and 6 with the same problem. Again I have a different problem when I use a different figure:
As you can see just the opposite problem is the case. The map part is good while the color scale if off. Both parts are made in the same way and more or less in the same sequence, I don't think it is purely a problem at birth and other software can "see" it correctly, so I don't think it is a hardware problem.
