How best to synchronize?

I have two clips in the time line ; one on top of the other, which I would like to synchronize. How best to do this?

Okay, I will make an assumption here:
On clip is sound and the other video?
If so and you haven't used any clapper or other sound hinting methods, then we have to do this manually by looking at the video and marking specific sound events in the video track (using Markers for example) and then doing the same thing on the audio clip (also using a Marker). Having 2 Markers and snapping on, position the Markers on top of each other and you are in sync. You may need to tweak some frames here and there but that's the manual way of going about it.

  • How do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders

    Hi everybody on this line...
    I am using a Powerbook + a Mini mac and I would very much like to read/delete/save all my incoming e-mail on both machines without doing the work twice (on each machine). So how do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders (when I delete on e-mail on one of the mac it will also be deleted on the other machine or if I move an e-mail to a folder, it would also me moved to the same folder on the other machine).
    I am award of the possibilities that .mac give me but as far as I know I can only use .mac for my mac e-mail account ([email protected]) and not for my other accounts that I have from my internet provider ([email protected]) which is a pop account.
    I hope you understand my question.
    Thanks in advance

    Minimac + Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    You're welcome.
    Could you please make a totally run down (step by step) of
    how to synchronize one mail account between to machines.
    There is nothing else to say, really. Locally stored mailboxes cannot be synchronized, period. Mailboxes stored on the server are synchronized automatically without you having to do anything else. If there is something you don't understand, you'll have to ask specific questions.
    The only way to have an exact copy of all your mail in both computers for locally stored mailboxes is to copy the entire ~/Library/Mail folder between them every time. Mail shouldn't be running on either computer while you do this, and it would be a good idea to copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist as well.
    right now the inbox of my Imap account is showed
    together with my other e-mail accounts inboxex
    As it should be. Mail organizes the standard mailboxes by type instead of by account, so that you can look at them both individually and combined as if you had just one of each type.
    ut it is also showed futher down in my "menu" wtihin
    the mail program, with a logo as a black ball,
    together with two folders that I have made (Prut
    mappe) and (choir OF young believers).
    This is also normal. I assume the "menu" you're talking about is the mailboxes list. Since Mail organizes standard mailboxes by type, the rest of mailboxes must be shown separately. In Mail 2.x, local custom "On My Mac" mailboxes are shown ungrouped at the root level of the mailboxes list, and an account group is displayed for each IMAP account to organize custom mailboxes stored on the server.

  • Installing New Primary Hard Drive: How Best to Transfer all Data?

    Hello fellow Apple'rs,
    I own a Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5 running OS 10.4.11.
    I am ready to swap out the original 250MB internal hard drive for a larger one (1TB HD Seagate Barracuda 7200.12) and transfer my data over. I'm unclear the best way to do this.
    The OS, as well as my docs, and applications all reside on my main older 250MB drive (I’ll refer to it as ‘Drive A’). I want to transfer them onto the new 1TB drive.
    For backup I’ve been using a program called _Synchronize! Pro X_. I have all the data from Drive A backed up to my G5’s second internal HD (this second drive is a bootable backup and I’ll refer to it as ‘Drive B’). I was planning to remove Drive B and install the new 1TB drive ([I’ll refer to this as 'Drive C') in its place in the computer bay. Once Drive C is installed, then I plan to do the transfer from Drive A to Drive C. Afterwards, I’ll remove Drive A permanently and install Drive B in its place, whereupon Drive B will continue to be used as the primary backup HD (now obviously backing up the new main Drive C).
    The mechanical installation should be no problem, but I’m unclear what the best method is of transferring over the OS and all my files and applications from Drive A to Drive C. Of concern is that the creation date of all my files are preserved and also that the links to all my aliases are maintained after the transfer. I once did a transfer between Powerbooks and only discovered at a later date that the creation date for ALL my files had changed to the date of the transfer! A huge loss for me.
    Any suggestions how to best effect this and to maintain all integrity and attributes of the original files? Should I just do a straight ‘drag and drop’ copy onto Drive C? Or, is using Synchronize! Pro X a good method of doing this (I’ve fortunately never had cause to actually restore data with Synchronize! Pro X so I’m uncertain of how it performs). Conversely, should I be looking at other software to do this (I can’t really afford money outlay for new software at present)?
    Is it best to just copy everything over or is it best to re-install the OS and applications? I want to maintain all my OS settings and also want to minimize the labor involved in the swap.
    One last thought: this computer runs noticeably slower than when I first purchased it in 2006. As I am now starting with a fresh HD, is there anything I can vis-à-vis the transfer improve performance?
    Thanks a bunch for any advice or observations!

    This last post raises the question: does it matter which HD bay (upper or lower slot) the new Drive C is installed in?
    I know the startup disc is selected in System preferences, but is there a reason to chose one slot over the other (ex., startup sequence in the event of system boot problems, etc.)?
    I'm slightly delayed in effecting the new HD installation.
    There are a few items in my system organization that I've uncovered and wish to resolve (then do a fresh backup) before doing the HD swap. I notice my 'Documents' folder, which contains most of my personal files, is located in my 'MUSIC' folder(!) and it is different from my user 'Document' folder (the latter has the 'folded corner paper icon' located in my home folder. The Document folder in my user home folder has non of my personal files, but instead has a few application support files of some sort.
    I may need to inquire in the OS section of this forum.
    Also, I'd like to rethink, and get some opinions, regarding my HD functions, i.e., how best to organize either whole drives and/or partitions for the OS, virtual memory(?), apps, docs, Photoshop scratch disc to maximize performance and stability.

  • How can we synchronize UOM between ECC and APO?

    Hi,
    We have configured new UOM (unit of measurement) in ECC. How can we synchronize UOM in APO with UOM in ECC (table T006)?
    Thanks and regards, Jose Oyon.

    Jose,
    Synchronizing the config is simple.  Run program RSIMPCUST in SCM.
    Synchronizing changes to affected master or transactional data (if required) is much more complex.  The best method by far is to create the new UOM config in ECC, and synchronize the config into SCM.  Only then do you begin to use the new UOMs in ECC Master data and ECC transactional data.  Existing transactional data, depending on what is is, will be very difficult to change UOMs and have the UOMs in SCM synch, without quite a bit of manual effort.

  • One Computer, Two Accounts - How Best to Proceed with MacOS 10.8.2?

    My wife and I want to share our new iMac, and I'd like some advice on how best to do this without messing things up.
    We both have iOS devices to sync, and we both are using the same iTunes Store Account. However, we each have our own iCloud account. We each have our own email accounts, Hotmail accounts, and Yahoo accounts. We each have our own account for the iMac, which I assume you would need if you wanted to maintain two different sets of Mail accounts and two different Facetime "accounts," what to speak of different desktop customization options. 
    Things we would like to share without duplicating files include: iPhoto library (~100 GB), iTunes media files (over 300 GB), Contacts list, (maybe) Calendar, and (maybe) Safari bookmarks. We do NOT want to share e-mail, Reminders, Facetime. Ideally, I would like for her to be able to sync her devices entirely through her iMac account. However, I am not opposed to her syncing her iOS devices through my account for some things and through her account for other things, if that is not easily avoidable.
    Regarding the iTunes library, I could go either way on her having separate library files with separate ratings & playlists or just sharing the same library setup that I have. However, I would want her to have access to the same metadata that I have for all music and video files, since I have lots of custom album art as well as lyrics loaded in. Do we have to use the same library file in order to have access to the same metadata, which will be updated on a regular basis?  If so, then is there a way to do that via two different computer accounts, or does she pretty much have to sync with my account?
    Now regarding iPhoto libraries, I wouldn't mind us sharing the same "library" as well as the files, including ratings and albums. I would like for the "faces" setup to be the same for both of us, if possible, so that she does not have to repeat the process of face tagging. I read in an older article that sharing the iPhoto library could be accomplished by sending the iPhoto library file to an external hard drive, but as that seemed to be an older approach, I thought I would ask here if that is still the ideal approach. I might want to send the iPhoto library file to an external HD anyway for space considerations. But if I do this, and we are both using the same library file for viewing photos, then does she still see the same albums, events, and tags that I have created already?
    Is there a way to share contacts and calendars without having to share other things like Notes and Reminders? I suppose I could have her sync this information via my account, but I'd be greatful to learn of a better way if there is one.

    You can share out both the iTunes library and the iPhoto Library in their respective preferences. However, the sharing account must have both iTunes and iPhoto running. You can keep the account running with those things open in the background using Fast User Switching. Enable that in the Users & Groups system prefs and then never log out, just switch to the login screen or the other account using the Fast User switching menu.
    I haven't done much actual use in either, so I don't know what the limits are (like making a playlist out of the shared tracks, syncing with iPhone/iPod, etc). For iPhoto, all the photos are available, but if you want to edit one, you have to import a copy into your own library. Another option might be to not keep the media inside the Library, but store it in the /Users/Shared folder. Then, set up your Libraries to leave the content where it is (Preferences). However, I don't think you'd get the metadata for the iTunes music. I believe that is all stored within the iTunes Library.
    You can share iCloud calendars so the other person can see your calendar by right-clicking on the Calendar name. There will be an option to share the calendar, there. Also, you can do so from the iCloud web interface.
    I've got nothing on sharing contacts. Not sure of a good way to do that besides maintaining two sets. You can start from the same source, but it will diverge over time as contacts are added and removed individually.

  • How best to use TWO Time Capsules, Airport Express and Apple TV?

    Hello
    I have the following Apple equipment and am wondering how best to plug it all together. At the moment I am not using some items at all because I do not know how to best use!
    1. MacBook Pro (2012 model) 'Mac1'
    2. MacBook Pro (2009 model) 'Mac2'
    3. MacBook Air (2011 model) 'Mac3'
    4. Time Capsule 1TB (model A1355)  'TC1'
    5. (another!) Time Capsule 1TB (model A1355)  'TC2'
    6. Airport Express (2008 model)
    7. Apple TV (2013 model)
    8. LaCie 1TB USB Hard Drive
    9. Apple iPhone
    10. Sonos system
    CURRENTLY
    TC1 is plugged into the Virgin Media modem to provide a WiFi network called 'Amer's Apple Network' around the house. The Virgin Media wifi has been switched off to reduce interference.
    TC2 is not being used. The Airport Express is plugged in upstairs (or sometimes near garden) to extend the 'Amer's Apple Network' and this seems to work fine.
    Apple TV is plugged into main TV and is plugged into 'Amer's Apple Network' directly using Ethernet to TC1 but often runs slowly and does not work if Mac1 is not awake (or iTunes is not running on Mac1).
    LaCie is plugged directly into TC1 and currently has a old copy of my iTunes library stored on it which my Sonos system access. However, there seems to be a problem in that iTunes randomly uses that LaCie library and/or local Mac library. Often we get a pop up message on Mac1 saying "Library cannot be found" and we have to manually navigate to the LaCie drive (via the TC1 folder) to open iTunes. Also connecting iPhone to Mac1 seems to work very slowly as it appears to be trying to back up to LaCie drive.
    QUESTION
    What would be the best, most efficient way of using all (or if some is redundant equipement then which), to set up the following:
    1. A shared home network which enables all three computers (and any future Macs and/or iPads etc) to access one master shared iTunes library, which is the one that is updated with any new music, films etc added via any of those machines
    2. A shared home network that enables a shared files folder but also allows each user to keep their own personal hard drive (eg locally on whichever machine they are using).
    3. A fast (as possible) iTunes back up process when connecting iPhone to computer
    4. Usage of both TC1 and TC2 (and Airport Express) to extend network around the house (several weak spots exist) and also to maximise storage using the 1TB of each TC1 and TC2.
    5. Would it then also be possible to attach the LaCie USB drive for an additional 1TB storage? If so how and would it be very slow? From existing usage it appears to be very slow when used as a regular access drive, so perhaps better as a 'slow' drive that is just occassionaly used for back up and nothing else
    Main question is (to the networking experts!), how would you personally set up all above to give best wifi coverage, fastest back ups, access to Sonos for iTune library, access to Apple TV, and shared folders etc etc. I basically seem to have lots of kit (albeit some quite old) and nothing seems to be working together particularly well.
    Happy also to ditch any bottlenecks in the above equipment list (eg LaCie USB drive?) and add something which would better bring together the other components?
    Any thoughts much appreciated!
    Best

    So ... FINALLY ... I found some time to implement this!
    Steps taken and results:
    1. Moved my entire music library to Mac1. Used the opportunity to also share my other Mac2 onto HomeShare and copy across any music files from Mac2 onto Mac1 that were not already there.
    Result:  Mac1 now holds my whole music library locally. Works incredibly fast whenever playing a track, adding a new track or updating info on existing track. Good!
    2. LaPastenague's instructions for bridging TC1 with TC2 worked a dream. Only thing is they are basically next to each other as I don't have the energy (or cabling expertise) to install (cleanly) long runs of ethernet cable.
    Result: Got a clear Wifi signal, not sure if any faster than before but I assume two TCs next to each other both sending out the same network signal can't be any worse than one. Main thing is that I have an extra 1Tb network drive (i.e. TC2) connected to TC1 which I can access from all my Macs now.
    3. Copied the entire Mac1 Music library over to TC2 drive into the Data folder. This happened relatively quickly (I think!) ... but would welcome any comments on whether slower than expected, to highlight if I might be able to improve the connection. 12,000 songs in 2 hours, with Mac1 sending the files to TC2 wirelessly. I know I could probably have connected Mac1 to TC2 by ethernet cable to speed up, but I had run out of Ethernet cables by now!
    Result: All my music (as of today anyway) now on Mac1 AND on TC2 in normal readable format (i.e. by Sonos and as a simple back-up that can just be carried around and copied anywhere in the event of loss of Mac1 drive
    4. Set up TC2 Music Library in Data folder to be the networked music folder for Sonos using "\\TC2\Data" (ps. why doesn't Sonos allow a simple click and select option for choosing drive and instead force us to go back to the 80s and type in drive path which isn't always clear, especially on a Mac!)
    Result: Sonos can access all my music (as of today anyway) on TC2 and no need for Mac1 or any other Mac to be open.
    BUT: As you may have guessed, the issue with the above set up is that as soon as I buy a new song, it will get added to my Mac1 quickly and smoothly ... but the area where I really use my music (i.e. Sonos via TC2) will have the older music library.
    QUESTION: Is there any way in which I can adjust the above set up, so that whenever I add new music to my Mac1 it also copies across to TC2? Don't mind if this is done slowly and later (eg in middle of night) but of course don't want to have to copy across manually each time. Would prefer it to just update newly added tracks regularly.

  • How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

  • How best to setup a Mac Pro with two hard drives for 1st hard drive or OS failure?

    My first Apple, a Mac Pro,  is to arrive on Monday (1/7).  I will be putting Win7 on Bootcamp and installing Parrallels.  It will have two 1T hard drives.   I would appreciate
    any advice on how best to set it up for best recovery in case of a hard drive or OS crash.   You can tell I have experience with Windows.    It looks like my best choices are
    either disk cloning software or just installing OS X from the recovery disk  on the second drive.   Apple says it is legal to do another installation.   I know the disk cloning will not work on the bootcamp partition which I plan to use for the Parallels program.  Can OS X have an option to boot from two differnet disks and OS installs?
    What I am really wanting to do in the event of a crash,  is to just boot up on the other disk and keep working.     I try to keep data on a separate partition  with backups so
    that a disk or OS crash doesn't cause any data loss.

    I do not use windows.
    However on my Mac Pro for cloning/backups/bootable backups i use Carbon Copy Cloner.
    It has an ability to clone entire disk (unless specified differently) so I can boot from another disk or restore back if I want to.

  • How do you synchroniz​e accesses to a LabVIEW Shared Variable?

    I would like to create an ad-hoc weather station program (I'll explain more in a bit).  I am using LabVIEW 8.0 Full Edition, and I would like to share data over a network between stations with the LabVIEW Shared Variable.  Here's what I want to be able to do:
    A node would start up, and begin publishing data to a network via a shared variable.
    The shared variable is an array of clusters
    The cluster information would hold things like:
    Station Name
    Station Location
    Weather information cluster (temperature, rainfall, windspeed, wind direction, etc...)
    Timestamp of last update
    When a new node would like to enter, it would bind to the shared variable, grow the array, and add its information.
    If a node's Station Name and Station Location is already in the shared variable, it would merely update the information in the cluster.
    Viewing nodes could pop in, bind to the shared variable, and read/display the information at any time. 
    I am trying to enumerate problems with this before implementing, and I have run into a stinker of a problem that I am not sure how to solve.  How do I synchronize accesses to the LabVIEW Shared Variable?  If I read the variable, modify it, and write it back, I will undoubtedly run into a race condition where 2 nodes attempt to update its data and I will lose the data written by the first node - Node A reads, Node A modifies, Node B reads, Node A writes, Node B Modifies, Node B Writes, and thus the modifications made by Node A are lost.  In my specific application losing some data isn't critical, but if not remedied this type of problem could cause massive amounts of data to be lost when there are numerous nodes, and that is definitely not acceptable. 
    Does anyone have any recommendations on how to synchronize the read-modify-write operations on the data in the Shared Variable?
    -Danny

    Wendy,
    I am afraid Semaphores are not network-shared objects (to my knowledge), they are system-level objects that use operating-system synchronization mechanisms.  If I were synchronizing on a single machine, a semaphore might be a valid mechanism; as an aside, most user-mode semaphores are designed to synchronize within a single process - to synchronize between processes you need to store the semaphore in the Kernel, and to synchronize over a network you would need a network node to handle serialization of requests.  My Shared Variable is published over a network, and to my knowledge there are no network-published synchronization mechanisms available - mostly because there is no way to currently perform an atomic test-and-set on the Shared Variable (am I correct?) and there isn't a mechanism for blocking access to a Shared Variable from another network device/machine (or is there?).  I've been looking for some way to implement an atomic test-and-set but I am running into a wall; I know that if I select the "single writer" attribute of the Shared Variable I can get LabVIEW to force a single writer allowing me to have an atomic "set", but I need more than that.
    If only there was a network-shared Semaphore or some way to block other network accesses to the Shared Variable I would be in business - something like what I want doesn't exist, does it?
    Thanks!
    -Danny

  • How best to migrate from MacPro to iMac w/ SSD and extrenal drives

    Currently I have a MacPro with 4 drives - 3 1TB and 1 2Tb, the 2TB drive is my main hard drive, so it has system, apps, documents, itunes etc....and it has been upgraded and migrated from one computer to the next as long as apple has had the ability to do so (and before that by moving over targeted drive manually). I currently am running 10.6.8 on the machine. I have ordered a new iMac w/ an internal 512gb SSD drive, and after speaking with an Apple rep, I got a THunderbolt enclosure to house my current 4 hard drives. Now my question is how best to get my preferences etc into the new computer w/o dragging along all the old stuff...(ie old apps not compatible w/ Mountain Lion, old system folders, etc). Here is what I would like to do:
    1. setup SSD with OS, fresh installs of Apps, and my fonts (i am a designer and i have a gazillion fonts and they always take way to long to load into my font app).
    2. I would like my 2TB drive to eventually just include my home directory where all my files, and such will be stored. But I would like to keep the drive as is to make sure everything is working just in case, I dont want to have any down time during the upgrade process (ie if a client calls me and needs something while I am still setting up I could boot off the 2tb drive and work). But after all is working properly then I would like to make it just the home directory and main place for all files etc
    3. My remaining 3 drives are broken up for manual backups of my work on 2 of the drives, and then photos and mp3s on one, and movies and tv shows from itunes on the other. I dont currently run Time Machine or Retrospect or RAID....
    I see most people saying to create 2 admin accounts, one that would stay on the SSD drive and the other which could be mapped to the 2TB drive and have its home directory there...but what do I do about moving preferences etc? is there a way when setting up that will let me import my current account and let me keep it on the external drive as is? should i move the files that i want to keep off the 2tb drive, wipe it to get rid of the old apps and system and then put back the home directory??I don't want to run into trouble with permissions, and I really dont even want to create 2 accounts because I hate having to close everything and log out for simple installs and updates...i have 2 on my macbook pro now and i run into errors all the time of i cant update this or that because of admin account...even though both accounts are set as admin.
    I want to keep the whole upgrade simple, but I would like to keep this fresh system clean as  am sure there is way to much left over garbage from upgrades past. So just not sure how best to do any of it.....

    I purchased the DataTale RS-M4t SMART 4-Bay Thunderbolt RAID storage enclosure. But it can do both RAID if you get their data manager software download, or it can just mount the drives and be used normally. So basically I can plug all 4 of my current drives into it...and it into my iMac and it will be same as if I had it in my tower....so really not moving over a ton of stuff. I will load all apps fresh onto the brand new iMac - so the SSD will be a clean install...my worries are trying to get access to home directories etc on the current main drive and have things get setup correctly, keychains, bookmarks, etc...as well as my iTunes which has iPad and iPhone backups, etc. I am just not sure as how to best setup the SSD to get the most of its speed while being able to get my current account working but on the second external drive.

  • Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How Best To Install Snow Leopard For A Non-Techy?

    What is the best route to go down to install Snow Leopard please? I received my copy on Saturday but I'm apprehensive at installing it!
    When I installed Leopard I ended up with a lot of problems, some of which are still not resolved, such as the non-recognition of log-in passwords etc. I still have to provide a password when switching back and forth between users and in order to close down I have to log out all users individually!
    As a keen Mac-user (but by no means a technical expert) I would like my Snow Leopard experience to be as painless as possible, so how best to install it please and at the same time eliminate my old Leopard problems outlined above?

    For the most painless upgrade possible, I suggest you just follow the instructions under the heading "Upgrading Mac OS X" in the Snow Leopard Installation Instructions document.
    As a precaution, you may want to run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk" step first. You can also run the "Repair Permissions" step if you want but I doubt that is necessary.
    Your 'old problems' aren't problems, AFAIK. You must always provide a password to change accounts & all accounts must be logged out to shut down or restart the computer. These steps insure the privacy of each user's account & make sure each user has a chance to save any open documents before the computer shuts down. IOW, they are desirable features, not problems!

  • I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC

    Copied from a post else where, any help greatly appreciated!!
    I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC for my needs & wondering how others do for similar needs....
    I have a 2TB TC that I have set up so that all of mine & my girlfriends photo's, music, movies & documents are on the one location so that we can access it wirelessly from both our MacBooks & also from a MacMini which I'm going to buy in a month or 2. Changing the location for where iTunes & iPhoto look wasn't a problem but browsing through iPhoto in particular is really slow due to the number of previews I presume, and also we are now unable to have any of the media with us when traveling about, synching phones on the move is a disaster as well!
    Anyway,
    is there an easy way of setting up iTunes / iPhoto so that we can have all the data on the TC managed on the MacMini but import small iTunes Playlists & iPhoto Albums to our MacBooks without having to change in preferences where the applications look for data each time we get home?
    Any help anybody can offer would be grand!
    Thanks in advance.........

    You topic might be better suited for the iPhoto or iTunes forums, since your question seems to be with the application(s) functionality, not really the Time Capsules. However, if you start iPhoto or iTunes while holding down on the "option/alt" key, you can manually select a library to access. When you want one of your computers to access the library on the Time Capsule, make sure it's mounted as a shared volume on your Desktop and then open iTunes and point it towards the library on the Time Capsule. If you want to use a smaller library on your computer, open iTunes and point it to the library on your Mac. I've never switched back and forth multiple times between multiple libraries, so you might check in the iPhoto or iTunes forums to see if any issues may arise from doing this repeatedly.
