How do I copy a playlist from one Mac to another?

I just bought a MacBook and have transferred some of my music from my iTunes folder on my older MacPro using wireless file sharing. How do I copy the numerous playlists I've got on my older computer? Do I copy the iTunes library file?
I've got the new aluminum MacBook which has no FireWire for some inexplicable reason and so can not connect to my MacPro as an external hard drive.
Thanks

I guess I could do that if it's the only way and then delete the music I don't want on my laptop. The problem is that I've got over 35 GB of music in my MacPro's iTunes folder and I really only want to copy a fraction of that to my MacBook. Are there any other options? If not, I'll go ahead with your recommendation.
Thanks

How do I copy my playlists from one computer to another? Both Acer.

The playlists are contained in the iTunesLIbrary.itl file.
If you are moving your library from one computer to another, simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

How do I copy an album from one mac to another without duplicating the photos

When I try to copy an album of photos from my wife's mac to mine, I just want the "album". I already have the photos. But I want to have that subset in the order she put them in. However, all I can figure out to do is "copy" that album, importing all the photos again as duplicates, then taking Last Import and making the album from that. And it doesn't necessarily preserve the order that the photos were sorted into. Surely there's an easier way. Is there?

You can not have an album with out haveing the photos so it is impossible to do this
You can use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to move albums between iPhoto libraries

How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another?

How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another, including text fonts, colours, borders, etc., so that, for example, I can reuse a formatted reconciliation table again in different parts of a sheet?

Hi George,
Wayne found the Spinning Beachball of Death, and you will find it too.
Numbers is not good at handling large datasets. Might I suggest that you group your data into smaller sets (each month, perhaps?) and save each group in a separate Numbers document. Numbers will not link between documents, but you could have a summary Table within each document. Then comes the "clunky" bit of copying all those summary tables into a master document where you do the final processing of the data.
Regards,
Ian.

Can I copy my iTunes from one Mac to another to a distant location?

I have 2 homes one in NYC and the other in upstate NY. I have multiple Macs at both locations all using Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes(9). I only have 1 iTunes library I maintain at the upstate location and have to bring my iPod to the NYC location to play my music. Can I not copy my iTunes library to the NYC location using Home Sharing or using some other method? I often forget to bring my iPod and am left without my music.

Since I had a problem with my Mac's drive that suddenly failed (I am able to read ONLY), I replaced the internal HD with my emergency HD that I had backedup a few months before. I would like to know if there's a way to copy my settings from one mac to another? Is there a specific folder for all apps or do I have to find out each and every single file for each app?
I need the settings for
System (view, font, color,)
Finder (view, etc)
iTunes (that include all library, playlists, etc),
Firefox (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
Safari (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
Address Book (contacts)
Thuderbird (emails accounts, contacts, passwords, etc)
Stickies (stickies on the dock - i have info on there unsaved)
Filezilla (FTP infos)
Would appreciate.
Thnx.
All that info is found in your user/library folder, I just did a 60 machine rollout and copied all those settings from user/library, just be forewarned that if you upgrade software those setting will not take on the machine, for example Adobe CS 3,4 will not usable by CS5. let us know if you need more help. Also make sure you copy most of your preferences in the user/library/prefences folder.
Note: If you are using an identical backup with all apps and user settings, you can just copy all folders from user to your new home folder. Remember that only if the image or backup is identical to your production OS.

How do I transfers iphoto pictures from one Mac to another?

How do I transfers iphoto pictures from one Mac to another?

Just snaps?
Export from one and import to the other
Snaps and all the versions and edit history?
Network the two machines together and use iPhoto Library Manager
Something else? You'll need to explain in more detail.

How to move songs in one playlist from one mac to another?

I am running the current version of iTunes on my MacPro and my MBAir, both of which are authorized computers in my iTunes account. I would like to copy the tunes in one playlist on my MacPro to my MBA, so that I can take them on the road. Some of the songs are purchased from the iTunes store, and some have been ripped in from CDs I own. I have found numerous links explaining how to move an entire iTunes library to a new computer. But, I simply want to copy a few files from one Mac to another so that I can play them on either machine. How do I do this? Thanks!

There are no shortcuts with the way your iTunes libraries are set up. You'll just have to go to each individual song, use "Show in Finder" to locate the actual file and copy and paste them to your other computer's iTunes.
What I suggest for someone who has multiple computers is to designate one computer to store all of your iTunes content and use the Home Sharing feature to stream to the other computer. iTunes was not designed for an individual that has multiple computers.

How do I copy a photo from one folder to another one in Aperture

I'm old and feeble I cannot figure out how to copy a photo from one folder to another folder and my 13 year old grandson can't figure it out either, so I feel better about it
thanks
canonmick

Um ... that doesn't seem ... like a useful workflow. When you say "folder" do you mean a Folder in Aperture (shown on the Library tab of the Inspector) or a folder in Finder? They are not at all the same thing.
Aperture is an image manager, with the requisite file management built-in. Finder is a file manager.
If you provide a full description of what are doing, and what you are trying to do, someone here can set your straight.
Fwiw, IME, the learning curve if very long and uphill, but gentle. What's unusual (esp. for Apple products) is that the landmass of Aperture is separated from the rest of your computer knowledge by a moat. What I mean is, the first leap is the hardest. After that, you'll be on firm ground, ready to explore.

How can I copy GPS information from one image to another?

I bought a Canon S100 specifically for its GPs and movie capability. On a recent vacation, I used the S100 and a Nikon D300. In cases where images were taken with both cameras in approximately the same place, I would like to copy the GPS information from the S100 CR2 files to the D300 NEF files. Does anyone know how to do this or if there is any plugins that will do it?

The added benefit of using GeoSetter to copy the information from one photo to another, is that you can see where every already-tagged photo is on a Google map to make sure the location is actually correct. Sometimes the camera clock is off a few seconds or minutes and you can easily figure how what offset to use by watching where the existing photos show on the map.
Using the MS Pro Photo Tools to generate a track from the existing S100 photos and then using that track in GeoSetter to assign the rest, with interpolation enabled, seems like the best course of action if the S100 track information is no longer available.
When using an external program to Geotag images that are already in LR, to be safe you should first save all the metadata to XMP files in the folder you’re going to tag, then exit LR, then geotag the photos, then restart LR and read information from all the XMP files.
Another benefit of GeoSetter is that you can assign the locality information to the photos that already have just coordinates in them.

How do I copy the style from one control to another?

I need to programmatically copy the style from one graph to another. I'm currently using the importstyle and export style functions but I'd like to avoid that since: 1) I'm creating >100 of the same graphs in a scrolling window and execution time is a concern, and 2) it makes it harder to redistribute the application, and 3) you shouldn't have to import/export from disk just to copy a graph style.
I noticed the copy constructor was disabled so you can't just create a new one from the original. I suppose I could iterate through all the styles and transfer them from the master graph to all the copies but is there an easier way to do that? If not, is there some sample code for that?
I'm using MStudio 7.0 for C
++.
Thanks,
-Bob

One way that you could do this would be to create a helper method that configures your graph rather than configuring it at design-time, then use that helper method to apply the settings to the new graphs that you create. However, this would only work if you wanted all graphs to be configured exactly the same way - this would not work if the settings of your master graph are changing at run-time and you want the new graphs to be configured with the current settings of the master graph.
Another approach is to query each control for IPersistPropertyBag, create an IPropertyBag, pass the IPropertyBag to the master graph's IPersistPropertyBag:ave, then pass the IPropertyBag to the new graph's IPersistPropertyBag::Load implementation. I'm not aware of any implementations of IPropertyBag that are readily available for use in applications, so the tricky part is creating the IPropertyBag. Below is a very simple implementation of IPropertyBag that should be enough to get the job done for this example. First, add this to your stdafx.h:
#include <atlbase.h>
CComModule _Module;
#include <atlcom.h>
#include <atlcoll.h>
Here's the simple IPropertyBag implementation:
class ATL_NO_VTABLE CSimplePropertyBag :
public CComObjectRootEx<CComSingleThreadModel>,
public IPropertyBag
private:
CAtlMap<CComBSTR, CComVariant> m_propertyMap;
public:
BEGIN_COM_MAP(CSimplePropertyBag)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IPropertyBag)
END_COM_MAP()
STDMETHODIMP Read(LPCOLESTR pszPropName, VARIANT* pVar, IErrorLog* pErrorLog)
HRESULT hr = E_FAIL;
if ((pszPropName == NULL) || (pVar == NULL))
hr = E_POINTER;
else
if (SUCCEEDED(::VariantClear(pVar)))
CComBSTR key = pszPropName;
CComVariant value;
if (!m_propertyMap.Lookup(key, value))
hr = E_INVALIDARG;
else
if (SUCCEEDED(::VariantCopy(pVar, &value)))
hr = S_OK;
return hr;
STDMETHODIMP Write(LPCOLESTR pszPropName, VARIANT* pVar)
HRESULT hr = E_FAIL;
if ((pszPropName == NULL) || (pVar == NULL))
hr = E_POINTER;
else
m_propertyMap.SetAt(pszPropName, *pVar);
hr = S_OK;
return hr;
Once you have a way to create an implementation of IPropertyBag, you can use IPropertyBag and IPersistPropertyBag to copy the settings from one control to another like this:
void CopyGraphStyle(CNiGraph& source, CNiGraph& target)
LPUNKNOWN pSourceUnknown = source.GetControlUnknown();
LPUNKNOWN pTargetUnknown = target.GetControlUnknown();
if ((pSourceUnknown != NULL) && (pTargetUnknown != NULL))
CComQIPtr<IPersistPropertyBag> pSourcePersist(pSourceUnknown);
CComQIPtr<IPersistPropertyBag> pTargetPersist(pTargetUnknown);
if ((pSourcePersist != NULL) && (pTargetPersist != NULL))
CComObject<CSimplePropertyBag>* pPropertyBag = 0;
CComObject<CSimplePropertyBag>::CreateInstance(&pPropertyBag);
if (pPropertyBag != NULL)
CComQIPtr<IPropertyBag> spPropertyBag(pPropertyBag);
if (spPropertyBag != NULL)
if (SUCCEEDED(pSourcePersist->Save(spPropertyBag, FALSE, TRUE)))
pTargetPersist->Load(spPropertyBag, NULL);
(Note that "CreateInstan ce" above should be CreateInstance - a space gets added for some unknown reason after I click Submit.)
Then you can use this CopyGraphStyle method to copy the settings of the master graph to the new graph. Hope this helps.

How do I copy a list from one site to another that has a column that appends changes to existing text?

I want to move a list from one SharePoint site to another, within the same collection. I have created a template and included the content but the column that is selected to append changes to existing text, has not copied in all cases, although it has for
some items.
I have a limited knowledge so won't be able to implement any solutions that require the use of code.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy a list from one site to another that has a column that appends changes to existing text.
I recommend to use the custom workflow activity Copy List Item Extended Activityto
copy list items and files cross site.
You can do this with codeless SharePoint Designer workflows as long as you can install the
Codeplex Custom SharePoint Designer Workflow Activities.
These activities are also built-in to SPD2010.
To install the custom activities, please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form
Useful Sharepoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
Run the command: add spsolution c:\ dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the SharePoint designer, add action from Custom Actions.
