Files to copy so laptop and desktop are similiar

I want my laptop version of Firefox to be the same as my desktop. What files do I need to copy so this happens.

Your user data and settings are stored in the profile folder, for details of how you can copy the profile data from the desktop to the laptop see [[backing up your information]]. Another article that covers this, but also gives more information on the suggested files to copy see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10868/ Firefox Sync] add-on may be of use to you. It can be used to sync the bookmarks, passwords , history, tabs and preferences between different computers.

Share one copy between laptop and desktop Macs?

I intend to do recording with Logic Express on location using my MacBook, then to transfer the projects to my desktop Mac with the good studio monitors and work on them at home. Do I have to buy a 2nd copy of LE8 to do this legally?

The package showed up today, and yes, it explicitly states in the license that I can install one copy on my laptop and one on my desktop.
I wasn't sure if the fine print differed across the Atlantic. Thanks Fox!

Laptop and Desktop PC Problem

Hi,
My daughter and I use Lightroom on a laptop and desktop PC, laptop when on holiday and desktop at home.
Having adjusted photos on the laptop whilst away we then want to transfer the image files to a home server but the adjustments made in Lightroom are not copied when we copy the image files across. I appreciate that the Lightroom adjustments are not part of the image file but I don't know how to get the adjustments from the laptop and onto the server. I assume there is a way to share / copy the adjustments made but we can't see how it is done.
I suppose I'm asking if there is a way for two people (or machines) to share the same Lightroom adjustments (file / catalogue - not sure of the correct term).
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Mike

On your laptop, select all images you want to transfer and Export as Catalog, with the option to include negatives. On the desktop, Import from Catalog.

Moving Music Videos between laptop and desktop

I have purchased 4 music videos from iTunes store. They are on my laptop. I was travelling on business and wanted to try out the new music videos.
Now that I am home and using my Dual G5 desktop, how do I move or share these videos off my laptop top to my desktop? Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this.
I really just started using iTunes when the video part was released, so I maybe overlooking something really easy to fix this issue.
I have turned on iTunes music library sharing on the laptop but only audio music is shown when viewing from my iTunes desktop. No videos are listed. I event made a playlist folder on my laptop called Videos and copied the videos into this list.
The list "Video" shows up when looking from my desktop, but no vidoes are listed in the playlist.
thanks

Bill,
"Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this."
I have the very same situation as many others do, so I've asked the very same question to an Apple Genius at the Manhattan Village Store in CA, and the answer is no. Why? You can have multiple iPods connected to a single computer, but not multiple computers connected to a single iPod. The reason for that is DRM.
Your best bet is to keep both libraries synched using apps like "You Synchronize" or "Folder Synchroniser", this way you'll have the same library across both Macs, and you can use any one as a Master for your iPod. Works for me!

Using FF7; Syncing my data between laptop and desktop; everything syncs fine, but for the tabs. I have no history of the open tabs of the other device, nor can I find an option to let start a session the latest session of the other device

FF7.0 beta
sync on laptop and desktop
no tab history of the other devices
solution to start session with latest session of synced device?
win 7 64bit

Good instinct not to shut down!
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Copy all sessionstore files (e.g., sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.js) to a safe location (e.g., your Documents folder). Whatever was saved before is in one or both of those files.
This problem of a window sometimes loading the correct number of tabs but the tabs not being navigated to the corresponding pages has been mentioned before, but I do not recall anyone identifying what causes it or how to solve it. If Firefox saved the URLs of those pages, they will be in one or both of those sessionstore files.
These threads have suggestions on how to "mine" the old file to extract the URLs:
* Using Firefox's Browser Console (formerly known as Error Console): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/969046#answer-471950
* Using Firefox developer tool "Scratchpad": http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=622036&start=60&p=12098147#p12098147
* Using a third party website: https://firefox-session-restore.herokuapp.com/
Can you recover them?

Should I use a macbook pro as my laptop and desktop, or have a macbook pro and an iMac?

i was wondering if i should use my macbook pro as a laptop and desktop, or if i should go ahead and buy a mac desktop too?

Just look at how many posts are on this forum, let alone the Boot Camp forum, about Windows on a Mac.
Got to any of the virtual machine software forums and take a look. Why do you thing there are 3 different virtual machine program available for the Mac to run Windows, let alone Apple's own Boot Camp system.
If it wasn't needed do you think Apple would have there own system for installing and running Windows on all Mac computers.
I personally don't know of any Mac users, and I know quit a few, that do not have a version of Windows installed on there Mac computers. Either in a boot camp partition or in one of the virtual machine programs.
There is some software that has just Windows versions. If you need that software and you own a Mac you need Windows to run it.

Apple TV2 can see my laptop but it can't access the files in on my laptop. Home sharing is turned on. I'm using Windows7 64bit. ATV2 can access the files on my other laptop and PC. I've updated my iTunes and ATV2. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you taken the step of restarting the laptop.
Have you checked your security software is allowing access for iTunes, which security software are you using.

Transferring photos between a laptop and desktop

I am using Lightroom 3 on a laptop and desktop. I am trying to export photos with adjustments that I have made to my desktop. I have selected the photos as tried to export as a catalog and have checked the boxes for export negative files and include available previews. I saved the files to a portable hard drive and then tried to import the files into lightoom on my desktop. Only the original photos (with no adjustments show up). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of importing the files try importing the catalog. The catalog contains your information about the adjustments. The catalog you exported can be moved to your desktop machine and you can use your master catalog on you desktop to import the record from it.

49$ / month suite, can I install this on my laptop and Desktop?

49$ / month suite, can I install this on my laptop and Desktop?

Hi Jimmy,
From the Creative Cloud FAQ, found here: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html#purchasing
"You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information."
So to answer your question, yes you can install on your laptop and your desktop!
Cheers,
Michael

May i load photoshop on my laptop and desktop computers

I am wanting to know if I am allowed to load photoshop on my laptop and desktop computers

Yes as long as you are the only user and they are not used at the same time.

Have synchronised iPad, iPhone, Windows Laptop and Windows Desktop. iPhone holds 500 Contacts whilst other devices only sync 170 Contacts. I have Shared several Contacts to get them over to iPad, Laptop and Desktop. Contacts then appear twice

Synchronised iPad, iPhone, Windows Laptop and Windows Desktop. iPhone contains 500+ Contacts whilst other three devices only display 170 Contacts. I have Shared several Contacts via Message from iPhone. On creating new Contact from each Message, each Contact appears twice on iPad, Laptop and Desktop via iCloud. Assume that a Setting has locked out the Contacts other than the 170 that do appear as duplications indicate that each Contact already exists on the three devices. Appreciate any advice to see all 500+ Contacts on all devices.

Audiobooks normally only allow one download per purchase; this is also the case with alert tones, ringtones, and some movies. They need to be moved manually; if desired, you can network the computers and use file sharing instead of a thumbdrive.

Recommendation on laptop and desktops capable enough for full Adobe suite

To: Adobe Community
BACKGROUND:
I've been using Creative Cloud for about 1 year now, and many of the CS6 titles. One thing this has exposed with my
laptop and my desktop is that they no longer have the memory or GPU horsepower to keep up with the software. For
example, Photoshop has many very GPU intensive features, and my sad little Dell Latitude D630 (yes, a 4 year old
laptop) doesn't even have a GPU that will work, and I can't really add one on for this sad little laptop. I also have
a Dell XPS with 2 older nVidia GPUs, and I can use all the new features, but my GPUs sound like they are going to take
off when the processing gets intense. So, I'm looking to get 2 new systems (a desktop and laptop).
I've looked at some of the higher end gaming systems, but I'm not really a gamer. My preference would be to
get a laptop and desktop that have similar specs so my work can sync through my cloud account as I work on it.
Too bad this syncronizaton agent is out and won't come back until June 17, anyway, I digress.
I've been looking at some of these new Intel inspired systems, but haven't really dug into what GPUs they have.
For the desktop, I need to drive 4 displays.
QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY:
- If anyone has been in a simular situation, and have acquired a new high end system (desktop, laptop, or both)
to use the Adobe CS6 suite to its max, what system configuration did you go with?
- Make/model/price, and specs would be appreciated.
- If you are like me, you probably spend more time and energy researching a system than what it is worth, and compare
specifications, reviews, etc. So my goal of this post is to see if folks that have done this research and are
very happy with what they acquired would be willing to share with others who want to make similar IT upgrades.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can contriute this info. Yes, you would be giving away your homework, but making
others very happy in the process.
John

I suggest you go to the Adobe Hardware Forum and see what has been asked many times. Also consult the FAQ section there and look at the popular discussions on the right hand side. Lots of info there. Another source for some ideas may be Intro Part 1 and all of the following pages. Also look at Adobe Community: What PC to build? An update...
The basic information lacking in your post is available budget for the desktop and budget for the laptop. Without that info, it is impossible to suggest a high end system, also because you don't mention what kind of workflows you have in mind.
What is high-end for what purpose and with what budget? If the bulk of your work is with Illustrator and PS then high-end means something completely different than using mainly AE and PR. In the latter case the nature of your source material makes a huge difference. Editing 4K material and using multicam edits quite often means a completely different high-end system than single track HDV or P2 material. It can mean the difference between a $ 2K, $ 7K or even a $ 25K machine.
General advise: Don't buy from a tier 1 company like Dell or HP unless you have a big budget. If you want to save money, build it yourself. If you think you need to buy a system, consider a custom builder. (I have a high-end DIY system, I think, at around € 7K and getting a system with the same performance from HP would cost around € 25K).
If you want to get the best 'Bang for the Buck', BFTB, you need to build it yourself, assuming video editing is part of your workflow.

Synching Itunes Account Content on HP Laptop and Desktop

In my home office I use an HP desktop and when travelling use my HP laptop. I have one Apple account that has all my music on as well as purchased movies from iTunes. I also have a load of "Home Movies" that are from my DVD collection. Some of the Home Movies do not appear when I am in my account on my laptop and the others do not appear on my desktop. I don't understand why this is as i have uploaded Videos using both laptop and desktop? Any clues how to synch the two? I have also now purchased Apple TV and when I go to Home Share, two separate accounts are shown with the same name? Surely there has to be a way to sync?

You can have a maximum of two installs. Can be PC/PC, Mac/PC or Mac/Mac; any combo.
Should be no need to register as long as you've signed in with your Adobe ID? (Best way to do all this is via the Creative Cloud Desktop app.)

TS3367 FaceTime not working on my ipad. Also iPlayer on the ipad tells me insufficient bandwidth and so I presume it is the same problem. However, iPlayer is working well on my Apple laptop and desktop. Any suggestions.

From what I read, this issue is affecting mostly users with iOS 6 installed on their devices. If you are able, upgrade to iOS 7. My mom called me yesterday with the same issue, upgraded, then it worked fine for her.
If you are not able to upgrade, you'll probably have to wait for Apple to fix whatever is affecting iOS 6.
