How do I sync folders with different files?

I have two identical folders with identical folder trees
example:
SCHOOL-1 (root)
- Class A
- Class B
- Class C
SCHOOL-2 (root)
- Class A
- Class B
- Class C
In SCHOOL-1 folder, I want all my open office files and in SCHOOL-2 folder, I want all my pdfs. I'm looking for an automator function (or hazel) to copy any pdf files from a subfolder in SCHOOL-1 and move them to their corresponding subfolder in SCHOOL-2.
I don't want to make a separate action for each subfolder, because there are about 200 of them.

This is the basic breakdown of root folder
Root folder
- 8 subfolders
- 11 to 20 sub-sub folders
- 2 sub-sub-sub folders
Which breaks down to roughly 300 folders.
At the lowest level, I have all my files, in which something is updated on a daily basis.
Folder actions would be nice, but I often have problems getting them to work, so an application might be my best best.
I don't want to delete the target folder's contents either because there are multiples sources for PDFs. Nor do I want to overwrite anything.
Thanks in advance ...

How to securely share Folders with different People inside one Network

Hey there,
I'm working with different people on different projects. All are connected to the same network. Most users have 10.6, some 10.5. I'm providing them with Files. My idea is to setup Folders inside my public folder for each of them to pick their files up. But it is important that only the appropriate person has access to his Folder. Is there a way to set this up easy?

Click on the Folder in question. Go the word File in the top right-hand corner. Click on More Info. Then at the bottom you can set the access for individual users, i.e. read and write access, no access, read access, etc. That way you can limit if people can even get to those folders and who can. Also you want to be sure you hit the little cog symbol when your done managing the permissions and hit "Apply to Enclosed folders" that way everything in that folder is guarenteed to have those permission limitations.

How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

How do I move folders with subfolders (containing pdf files) from my pc to ipad 3 to use in adobe reader

You need to connect the ipad to the computer and open itunes.
Open the ipad and go into settings, icloud. Tap on "Documents and Data" and turn that on to sync to icloud.
Now go back into itunes and it should pick up your ipad already and tap on the ipad connection. There will pop up some taps on the center screen for sync options. Go thru each one (summary, info, apps, music, tv shows, podcasts, itunesU, books and photos).....you want to click on "Books".
To the left click the arrow next to the ipad under Devices.
The arrow will point down and open the sub menu, click on the "Books" sub menu here. You will see in the center window current books, PDF currently on the ipad.
Next go to the top and click on "File" (file, edit, view, controls, store, advanced, help) and click on "add folder to library"...... it will bring up your computer file system in a seperate window. File the folder your looking for and add it. This should get the folder set up to sync onto ipad thru itunes.
For additional ease in doing things on the middle window of itunes click back on summary, scroll a bit and you will see "Backup", click on "Backup to icloud". Then under "Options", check "Sync with this ipad over WiFi".
This will allow you to wirelessly sync your itunes and your ipad without having the ipad connected to the computer with a cable. You just have to be on the same wireless network.
If in itunes you add something like a pdf or photo, when your on your ipad open the Ibooks or Iphoto app and it wull update the file system to match your itunes account. The sync with with anything you do in itunes and it works the other way around also. If you save files, photos, books on the ipad, using the ipad (app store purchases, games, books)....the ipad will update to itunes next time your on the same network.
FYI - both the ipad and the computer have to be on.
Itunes updates (changes you make thru itunes), does not need itunes to be open for update content to update to the ipad. This is because it updates to the cloud.
Updates from the ipad to itunes will need itunes open on the computer. So it can sync with the cloud info.

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
The second is a bit trickier.

How does pfile sync up with spfile

When the parameter changed through :
alter system ... scope=spfile
when does pfile sync up with sp file? what process make that happen, or does this has to be done manually?
Thanks

This has to be done manually via the following command:
create pfile from spfile;
- this will create a file named init[SID].ora in your $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory, by default.
In this way, you can 'backup' your current spfile settings by using the command:
create pfile='?/dbs/initSID.2009-05-30.ora';
If you wanted to know how to startup the instance using your pfile settings, you'd need to using the startup PFILE command (otherwise it would automatically default to using the spfile). For example, to start the instance using the backup you just created:
startup pfile='?/dbs/initSID.2009-05-30.ora';

I've downloaded two adobe cs6 files to a new computer. How do I activate photoshop with these files?

I've downloaded two adobe cs6 files to a new computer. How do I activate photoshop with these files?

i said the 2nd file name you listed in message 6 was incorrect, not the file name in message 8.
but if the file name message 8 is correct, both names in message 6 are incorrect. or you just might have a typo for the first file name.
in any case, make sure both file names are exactly the same but have different (a 7z and an exe) extensions, put both in the same directory and then click the exe.

How do I write harmonies with different note values?

I'm new to GarageBand and have been working with the score on the software grand piano. At first, I'll write a melody line and then go back to add harmony. When I try to add a harmony that has a different rhythm, GarageBand automatically changes the melody to match the rhythm of the harmony. I'm trying to write the parts in the same staff so that the piano part can all be printed on the same page. Any thoughts/help on how to write the piece with different rhythms in one measure?

Have you tried to click the clef to get two lines of notation? I enter the chords in the bass clef line, if I need a different rhythm, for example: Or make the edits in piano roll.

How can I sync lightning with iphone calendar?

how can I sync lightning with iphone calendar? I saw online that I need to use a google calendar? I added the google calendar as they described but I have no idea where to go from here

To sync with iPhone's calendar (also called iCalendar) you need to use a cloud-based calendar. If you already have lightning, install the Google Provider addon and setup Google Calendar. If you have already done that, go to settings on your iPhone. In the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars area, add your Google account, and turn on Calendar. This will sync your Google Calendar with the iPhone.

Connecting the two routers was done via ethernet. It now appears that I need to do something "else" as the LAN ports on the now relocated airport extreme are nonfunctional.
With both base stations interconnected by Ethernet you have the basis for a "roaming" type network. If properly configured, both base stations' Ethernet ports would be enabled for wired clients.
The key configuration items for a roaming network are as follows:
All base stations used must be interconnected by Ethernet.
The "main" base station; the one connected to the Internet modem, must be configured to provide both NAT & DHCP services; all other base stations used must be configured as bridges (NAT & DHCP disabled.)
Each base station must have a unique base station name.
Each base station must use the same wireless security type and password.
