How do I share data between my MBP and iMac?

I have two Genealogy programs on my iMac that I would like to share data between my MBP and the iMac. I would like to gather the data on the MBP and then share new data to the iMac which is where I basically do all of the Genealogy work from, since it is much easier with the larger screen and better keyboard.
Can someone please explain or direct me to a tutorial or procedures if this is possible? Thank You!

Click Apple>System Preferences>Sharing
Check File Sharing. In File Sharing add the folder you want to share with another computer. Then add users. Then proide access previledges such as Read & Write, Read Only, Write Only or No Access.
Now in the System Preferences, Click iCloud, sign in to iCloud. It's free and you can access your Macs from anywhere.
In iCloud, check Back to My Mac.
Do the same to another computer. You're all set by now.

How can I share data between WinXP Pro and Mac OS 10.8.3 via wifi

How can I share data between WinXP Pro and Mac OS 10.8.3 via home wifi.

~/Home/Library folder that may be incompatible?
Yes, big time. Mail, for sure, has a different file/folder structure, and would not be happy.
Plus, a number of apps (Apple and 3rd-party) are "Sandboxed." That's a security feature, to prevent malware or bad coding from affecting things it shouldn't. Some of their files, including the preferences files, aren't even stored in the same places!
Or to other places I'm not aware of?
Probably. If you have two versions of the same app, they may or may not expect the same data setup.
To have one User folder for both OS's would save a lot of drive space
Not if you use some or all of woodmeister50's suggestions.
But I'm also not sure how I'd use Time machine with such a set up.
Just as you do now. By default, Time Machine backs-up everything (except things like system work files, most caches and logs, trash) for all users and all internal drives & partitions. By default, it excludes external drives.
You can change those defaults, of course, via TM Preferences > Options.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for details and considerations of multiple drives.
Presently I backup with . . . clones to other HD's
Good. Yes, clones are different. You need multiple "tasks" to back up multiple drives/partitions. But once set up, that shouldn't be a big deal.

How can I share data between two forms on different lists

Using a custom content type, I created two lists that I want to share the same data - one is a calendar. Our employees complete a form from the "Out of Office Request" list that has workflow functionality that sends an email to that person's
manager. If the manager approves the request, the item automatically populates the "Out of Office Calendar." The problem is that the only information from the request list that populates the calendar is the Title field and date/time fields.
I need the manager name in order to create a view for each manager.
How can I connect the other information in the request list to the calendar list. It seems to me that if the title and date fields carry over the information, there should be a way to connect the other information. I'm using Designer.
I've tried to connect the two lists' webparts with the wizard, but when I get to the page that maps the two lists, there are no column names and the "Next >" button is grayed out. This seems like the logical place to connect the two lists,
but it isn't working.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted share data between two forms on different lists.
To show external information on the calendar event, there are two methods: Calculated column, workflow. You can refer to:
A Simple Guide to Show More Information on a Calendar Event
I recommend to use workflow to achieve what you want. But you need to create a people column to display the manager.
You can create a workflow associated to the "Out of Office Request" list, add action to Start Approve Process. If the manager approves the request, you can create a item in the calendar, and then update the people column and the title column.
Then the calendar will display the Title, date/time and the manager.
To create a view for each manager, you need to modify the Filter. You can use the people column is equal to the manager name or the Title contains the manager name.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,

How can I share photos between my iphone and ipad?

I want to automatically share photos between my iPhone and iPad. I use iCloud and I setup Photo Stream but my photos are not moving from one device to the other. My goal is to have all my photos on both devices- automatically. How can I accomplish this?
Thank you!

Photos will Not go between iPad & iPhone..they have to go thro' iCloud as a provider or sync via your computer individually...you need Wireless on both or a direct USB connection..
On each iPad and iPhone you can initialize via the Summary/Photos when they are connected via iTunes..

Can i remotely share files between macbook pro and iMac

Want to know if I can do remote file sharing between macbook pro and imac.

Yes, absolutely. She can access her iMac from anywhere that has an Internet connection. If Screen Sharing is enabled, she can log in and use it as if she were seated at the iMac.
Provided the iMac's router supports the Bonjour Sleep Proxy (obviously all Apple AirPort Base Stations do), the iMac can even be asleep, and BTMM will wake it upon the router receiving a request to access the iMac.
The speed of her available Internet connection will be a limiting factor. Slower connections will be a bit laggy.
Her iMac will appear in a Finder Sidebar, under "Shared".

Not sure what type of files you are trying to share, but you can't use Bluetooth.
Emails/text the files to each device.

How can I share music between two computers and two accounts?

My wife and I each have our own devices. I would like to purchase an album and have it on both accounts so we do not have to buy the same album twice just because we both like it. I have seen many articles on how to achieve this on a single computer but nothing that talks about multiple computers and multiple accounts.
TIA

Sync Data between Macbook Pro and iMac

Hi!
I've finally junked my Dell laptop and bought a Macbook pro. Most of my data is already on the iMac that I have at home.
My question - what is the best way to sync all my data (mail, addresses, calendar, documents,photos and videos) between the iMac and the Macbook?
thanks,

Drop Box and Sugar Sync are also alternatives, both of which are free. MobileMe definitely makes syncing contacts, calendars and bookmarks easier, as using the two other sync programs will require digging for where those files are located. Theoretically, you can sign up for the free MobilMe trial, use it to sync and then cancel the trial (if you don't like it).
Personally, I use it and I'm a big fan, especially as Orange indicated it's perfect for syncing. But I will say that Drop Box has proven to be a much better resource (for me) when it's comes to file/folder syncing across multiple machines and the ability to easily share files. For whatever the reason, WebDav is just painfully slow on all the networks I routinely use.

How can i merge data between two tables and then insert to another table

Hi ,
Could pls help me,
I have two tables i need to merge this tables for a single column then need to insert the records to a third table
Ex-
Suppose emp, dept two tables , merge this two tables for empid then insert that value to emp_dept table.
I am using oracle 10g.
Thanks

Hi,
too many values comes from the select clause. I stated you have to match the columns from the emp_dept table to the columns in the select. In my example I return all the columns of emp and dept, but I think you have only one empid column, the select for example will give 2, one empid from emp and one empid from dept. So best is to match:
insert into emp_dept
(column1,column2,column3,empid)
select emp.column1, emp.column2, dept.column3, emp.empid
from emp, dept
where emp.empid = dept.empidAbove is an example how you can match, so the number of columns in the insert should match with the number of columns coming from the select.
But better for us to help you is give your definitions of emp, dept and emp_dept.

Transferring Data between MacBook Pro and iMac

My husband has a MacBook Pro as well as an iMac. He uses the laptop when we travel. when we bought the laptop, we transferred all the data on the iMac to his laptop using a firewire connection. It was months ago and I am having trouble remembering just how we did it. Now, though, he wants to copy data from his laptop to his desktop and I need help working that out. He has Entourage installed and that is what he uses for his mail, documents, etc. Where do I go to find those folders and how do I get them onto his iMac. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

It would be a mistake to replace a new fully functioning system on your iMac with a potentially dysfunctional one on your MBP. If you need to transfer personal data then you can connect the two via FireWire cable and use Target Disk Mode to transfer your data manually. If you have a MobileMe account, then you can sync your Mail accounts, iCal calendars, Address Book entries, and Safari bookmarks that way.
You can use ordinary backup software to sync two computers connected by FireWire and using Target Disk Mode. You can use a USB flash drive depending upon the amount of data you need to move between the two computers. You can use an external hard drive as intermediary. However, Time Machine is not a utility intended to keep two computers synced.
You should give thought to what you need synched, as your question seems to imply you think that means everything, but I doubt that's what you had in mind.

How do i sync numbers between my ipad and imac. i dont even know how to do this via itunes

Hi,
i just downloaded numbers to my ipda, thinking that as i use it on my mac, i would be able to use it on my ipad, and that the lates version would be saved automatically, however i have no idea how to sync the numbers on both devices

Thanks, I've reset it a lot, but nothing changes. I can get the iPhone and the iPad to talk with each other, I want to have the iMac in the loop.
I got a note on another forum to change the "Send & Receive" setting. I now have 2 Addresses - my cell phone and my email. I'm hoping that will work. When DH gets home I'll have him test it.
