Draft slideshow on one Mac, then edit on another?

I am working on a 10 min slideshow in iMovie 8.0.6 on my MacPro at home. The staff at our church has sent me a bunch of pictures and I want to create a lively slideshow to show at a service. I can do the initial draft (picture import, transitions, music) at home; however I need help with clever/informative captions for some of the pictures from other people at church. Is it possible to:
     1. Compose the initial slideshow draft here at home,
     2. Save a functional version of the movie onto a flashdrive,
     3. Import the draft off the flashdrive on a friend's MacBook Pro, having a "working copy" on the laptop
     4. Edit on the laptop (ie, go around the office getting advice on captions, then type them in)
     5. Save the edited version back on my flashdrive
     6. Import the edited version back into iMovie on my home Mac Pro
     7. Then do final editing, send to iDVD, the web, etc.?
Thanks for any advice! Jeff

This question can only be answered by yourself. If you are craving for composing music do not wait a second.
To make the switch to your new MB easier I would recommend:
Save all your projects on your external HD. When your new MB arrives, copy your key commands and other preferences to your new machine. But sometimes its easier to start from scratch.
If you have personal plug-in settings and sampler instruments you will have more work to import everything to your new mac.

How to create a slideshow on one computer and edit on another?

I have created a slideshow on my home computer but need to be able to edit it on my work computer. I have all of the photos on both computers, but I don't see how to transfer the slideshow. It is an extensive show with a lot of editing that has already been done.
Thanks

How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Move or copy iPhoto '11 slideshow from one Mac to another

How do I move or copy a slideshow created on my iMac to my Macbook Pro

Export it as a QuickTime movie.
If you want to move it in an Editable format then you'll need to copy the Library that contains it over to the other machine.

Can one extract (then edit, modify, etc.) paths created from an image trace? (CS6)

Hiya Adobe community,
This may date me a bit, but long ago I used to use freehand as my defacto drawing tool until I switched to AI. Back in those days, I also used "Streamline" (http://www.adobe.com/products/streamline/) to perform the functions image trace does today. While it's results were somewhat crude, the software provided me the vector points, paths and acnhors i needed. After every trace, I could manually edit the resulting vector traces.
I have been using CS6's tracing feature, but the one thing I cannot figure out for the life of me is the "Bounding box" issue for an imported image. Everytime I trace a drawing, AI's tracing results always place a bounding box around the traced image area. My goal: To trace an item, get rid of the bounding box and extract the outlines and paths so that I can then modify these to my linking.
Can this be done? Im sure it can,... I just cannot find out how. (Or am I making crack wishes?) All I'm saying, if Streamline allowed me to edit paths from a trace, then it'd be a shame if AI CS6 does not.
Check out the attached image for some content. Thanks in advance for any help!

Sriegel,
Thank you my friend. For future reference to anyone else who may be mystified by this, here is the actual location of the command:

Yes you can:

Also there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists directly from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.

Moving album with data from iPhoto on one Mac to iPhoto on another one

I have a photo album in iPhoto on MacBook Pro where all of the photos have been edited, rated and titles and descriptions have been added. How do I move that album to my iMac without losing any of the data?
Thanks!

Well assuming that none of those things are the case, iPhoto Library Manager is telling you that the Library is damaged in some way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why can't I accept iCal invites on one Mac but can on another?

I have three Macs: 1. an iMac which sits on my desk. 2. An older MacBook Pro and 3. a brand new MacBook air which I bought a week or two ago to replace the older MacBook Pro.
All three are running Lion, the first two upgraded from Snow Leopard, the MacBook Air was purchased with Lion. All three are fully updated using software update. All three are synchronised using mobile me.
I am not using any server capability.
Here's my issue:
When one of my customers sends me an invitation to a meeting I get the invite in an email of course. These invites come exclusively from Outlook as that's what all my clients use but that should not be relevant.
When I double click on the invite the appointment goes to iCal; mobile me then syncs this across all three Macs. Irrelevant of which Mac I double click from the mail invite the following happens:
On the iMac and Macbook Air the meeting is inserted in my calender. The meeting is coloured blue (my default calendar colour) and no matter whether I click on accept or decline nothing happens and no response is sent through mail to the meeting organiser.
On the MacBook Pro the meeting is inserted in the calendar in grey with a dotted line border around it. When I open the meeting and accept or decline the meeting on the MacBook a mail response is sent to the organiser - this is the correct version of what should happen.
Every single setting that I can find in both Mail and iCal is the same on all three Macs as far as I can see. Has anyone got any ideas why the MacBook Pro would work and not the other two machines - it's a little annoying to have to fire up the old MacBook every time I want to accept a meeting request!
Many thanks for any help.
David.

I think I've solved this.
In address book only the Macbook Pro had my own card set as 'My Card'. Although Mobile Me was syncing the address book it obviously doesn't carry the My Card attribute across so this wasn't set on the other two Macs.
Weeks I've been looking at this and then I find the answer a few hours after posting the question

IOS updates always fail on one Mac, but succeed on another

Hi,
unfortunately there is no general iOS subforum, so I post it here in the iPad forum in hope that someone has an idea.
Whenever I am trying to update one of my iDevices from my Mac Pro (10.6.4 and iTunes 9 or 10, both have the same problem) the update runs half way through and then gets stuck on the apple logo, progress bar at about half way through.
This is reproducable with any iDevice (tried iPhone 4, iPhone 3G and iPad).
If I plug the same devices into my Macbook Pro, the update (or then: restore) works without any glitches.
So it must be something with my Mac Pro, but I have no idea what might cause this.
Has anyone else experienced something like this before?
Thanks
Sascha

Boot from install disc, run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairing and check for free disk space.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free space.

Can I clone one Mac and restore to another?

My wife has a 2005 17" CD MBP running Tiger which has seen better days and will probably soon give up the ghost. As a short term solution I was thinking of making a clone of the hard drive and restoring it onto a spare 2007 15" C2D MBP that we have.
Will this work or will the different chipsets cause problems?
I intend to use superduper as I already have a licence for this but was wondering if the clone that is made is machine specific, or will it not work because of the different chipsets.
If this doesn't work would another option be to load Tiger onto the spare MBP and then use migration assistant to copy?
Thanks in advance.

Looking at http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/index-macbookpro.html it seems that the MBPs in the year you provide could boot to 10.4.9 As long as you have it at least at that then you probably stand a reasonable chance. While installations are nominally machine specific, I am not sure how much they are really. I have taken drives from one machine and put them in a similar machine (e.g., Quicksilver 2000 to QS 2002) and had them run for years with no issues appear. The only thing you can do is try, but I'd say it had a good chance of working.

Download Mavericks on one Mac and install on another

Just a couple of questions here. From what I read you can do this. My internet is much faster than my sons. So I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac and then went to his house and installed it on his Mac. Clean Install because he has been having some issues with an older iMac. Followed directions on how to do this and installed on a USB flash drive. No problems it all worked.
My question now is how does his Mac recognize Mavericks? It does not show up in his purchases in the App Store. He may need to re-download or who knows what sometime in the future. An how about Updates? All his other purchases such as iPhoto show up fine.

No need to re-download. It's not in his Purchases as it was installed via USB.
But, no need to have it show there, he'll get future Update's through ->SoftwareUpdates (you can set notification settings in ->System Preferences->App Store)

OMG: Putting one Mac on top of another puts the top one to sleep!

I just spent an hour trying to debug an interesting non-problem, that I thought worthy of report as many people seem to be reporting this sort of thing: My mac would boot to the apple, then go to blue screen, then to black. It didn't fail, it just seemed to go to sleep. I did all sorts of things trying to resolve this, hard booting, smc reset, pram reset, blah blah blah. NOTHING. So I gave up and closed the cover ... at which point it occurred to me that it might be just ... well ... alseep. So I opened the cover. Nothing. Then I noticed that I had it sitting RIGHT ON TOP OF A SECOND MACHINE OF THE SAME KIND...oh %^$#! Took the bottom machine away, et voila! Instant on!

There is an Apple KB article about this.

Is there a way to sync music from one mac and podcasts from another mac?

So I have all my music (CD Ripped and iTunes Store purchased) on an iMac at home. I sync a shuffle, nano, video and touch with it. Works great with playlists..
Now, I have a MBP that I use for work and have been downloading podcasts to iTunes. Can I use one of my iPods (thinking of the Nano), to sync ONLY the music from the home iMac, and ONLY the podcasts from the work MBP?
Thanks!

Okay, I said what the ****, and connected the Nano to my MBP.. A breeze, I told it not to sync anything.. Went to the Podcast tab, and told it to sync and overwrite everything.. Seems to work perfectly.. Now lets see what happens when I connect it back to my iMac.. I think I just have to disable the syncing of the podcasts...

Replication articles read-only in one publication and editable in another

We have many users with a mobile application
running SQL Mobile and using merge replication to get data back to the SQL 2008 R2 database. This has worked very well for many years.
We now have a requirement to have this data reported on using Reporting Services. This is where it gets messy.
Due to a limitation of Report Builder(see this blog)
we cannot provide access to users for creating their own reports. The report database is remote from the host and there is no VPN.
We hit upon the idea of creating an almost identical publication but the articles as read-only. It was only after this was done that we started having trouble with our existing mobile users.
It seems that a published article is EITHER Bi-directional OR Read-only even if they are in separate publications.
I then thought of using Transactional Publication but this too is blocked on creation with "automatic identity range support is useful only for publications that allow updating subscribers"(Merge and Transactional publication are mutually exclusive)
So in the final analysis is there a way for me to have merge replication AND some other form of SQL replication/data transfer that can have the same data transmitted readonly to a separate full SQL server database?
Your insights, ideas and advice appreciated.

What you described is not possible.
You may consider to combine replication and log shipping or republish the data.

"Use this mailbox for" not working for Spam on one mac but fine on another

I have Mail running on my Macbook Pro using IMAP. I have a business email account and a personal email account both with the same mail provider. When I create the account it creates a folder under the IMAP folders for Sent, Trash and Spam. I highlight each of these and use the "Use this mailbox for" command to set them for Sent, Trash and Junk respectively. This moves the folders up under the Mailboxes section at the top of mail. Everything is great.
Now, exactly the same on my brand new iMac. When I get to the part about "Use this mailbox for", Sent and Trash work exactly the same as on the Macbook Pro but Spam stubbornly refuses to change and I am left with an extra folder under the IMAP folders.
I am using the same version of OS X, the same version of mail and exactly the same setting in mail preferences. I don't understand why I can't get the Spam folder to be used as Junk? ANyone out there got any ideas?

I have the same problem on my new MBP with Snow Leopard. I have multiple gmail accounts in Mail with IMAP. I can set the Sent/Drafts/Trash mailboxes to be used by Mail. But when I do the same with the Spam mailbox nothing happens at all.
This is really annoying as I now have to go through all of my Spam mailboxes manually to check if there is a false positive. This seems to be a bug in Apple Mail? I also tried to set up all my accounts again but it didn't help, same problem.
