Copying Adjustments from One Work Station to Another

I have several computers, three of which are Macs and two of which I use for image processing. They are all networked but I can't figure out how to copy the work I do at one workstation to another workstation. Each has its own Aperture library and it seems impractical (perhaps impossible) to use a library on a network drive.
While I can easily export a version as an image, I can't see a way to export the adjustment information for a selected image and transfer it from one Aperture library to another. In Lightroom, this is easy. I just export the information to an XMP file, transfer the XMP file to the other workstation, open Lightroom there and import from the XMP file(s). Viola! I now have all the adjustments I had made at the previous workstation and can continue exactly where I left off. I can't find an equivalent of this in Aperture. It seems the only way to do this is to export an entire project and then import it to the other library. Is that correct?

Correct. With Aperture the only way to share adjustments is to export projects from one machine and import them on another.
Having 3 machines where you work on Aperture independently is a way to have a complicated workflow. It's best to have a primary machine, and perhaps a laptop you take for field work, where you export projects when you return to the studio and import them to your primary machine. That works great.

    How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

    It's because of the extension of the hard drive is a Windows extension ( most likely MSDOS or Ex-FAT), meaning you can only read but not write. If there are no important files (or you can copy the whole thing to your computer/mac) you can just reformat the hard drive and change the extension to NTFS (readable and writable on both windows and mac) or Mac OS Extended (readable and writable on Mac, readable on windows).
    Go to DISK UTILITY
    Choose the Hard Disk you intended
    ERASE
    You can choose either

    Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

  • How do i copy contacts from one apple id to another?

    how do I copy contacts from one apple id to another?

    I assume you mean you want to copy them from one iCloud account/ID to another.  If they're synced with iCloud go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose to Keep on My [iDevice], then delete the iCloud account, sign into the other iCloud account, turn Contacts back to On and when prompted choose Merge.  Note: when you delete the account it only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.  If you then want to go back to your previous account, delete the iCloud account from your device, when prompted choose Delete From My [iDevice], sign back into your other account, turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge.

  • How do I copy recordsets from one database table to another?

    I am using the Database Connectivity Toolset, and would like to copy either one recordset or multiple recordsets from one Access table to a table in a different database. I would like to do it directly with the data in variant form, but I can't get it to work. I can get it to work(on a small test table) if I first convert my source variant data to a cluster, then insert that into the other database table. My real database has many items with a variety of date types. Can I copy directly variant to variant?

    Is it necessary to read all the data back into LabVIEW first? The reason I'm asking is that it is much more efficient to just use SQL statements to get the data you need and write that directly to the second database. I did a quick Google search on it and came up with lots of responses on what the correct syntax is for setting that up. Using an SQL command to copy the data back and forth is analogous to copying data from one file to another using the Copy file function rather than reading the entire contents of the file, converting the file string to the data arrays, converting back to a string, and then writing it back to another file.
    Chapter 5 of the Database Connectivity Toolset User Manual describes how to execute SQL queries.
    If you do need to actually
    see the data in LabVIEW first, then the only way to get it back into the other database is to convert those variants to LV datatypes and then cluster those values again and write them back out to the second database.

  • How does one move or copy emails from one IMAP folder to another without loosing tags?

    I am using Thunderbird 31 with an IMAP server (one that I control) and I'm wanting to move some emails from one IMAP folder to another (within the same account) which works just fine, but I noticed that tags are not retained. Is there a way to copy/move emails without losing tags?
    Thanks:

    I think there are some misunderstood.
    I do not suggest to "Switch" devices.
    I suggest the safest way how you can do it.
    Connect device, where you have needed Address Book, buckup it (only Address Book)
    Then connect second device and just recover Address Book, after from Second device you can delete not needed contact.
    I have 6 devices for separate issue and in all of them same contact, with small changes

  • Copying simulation from one CP file into another...issues

    Hi,
    I am trying to copy slides from one simualtion into another, but when I do, all the objects et are covered with a background. For example, I copy some slides that are instructing to click on the Start menu, then selecting the program from the start menu that comes up, the start button and menu are covered with another image, like all objects have been placed behind the slide background....
    .....seems really strange and a bit frustrating to say the least.
    Any help appreciated..
    Cheers
    Rossco

    Select one of these slides in the filmstrip and check the Properties > General accordion. 
    For simulation slides, make sure the boxes for Master Slide Objects On Top and Use Master Slide Backround are unchecked.
