How to share documents between two macs,

I NEED TO SHARE documents between two macs....keynote dcts.....and I always want to be working with the last dct, what is the esiest and safer way to do it ?

Ok I have three macs sharing mobile me. One at work that´s a imac,at home my old Mack book Pro with a big monitor and now I got a beautiful Mac Book Air.
The two computers at home can be connected wireless,I have a time capsule disk that at this moment is only backing up my MBPro. I will use my MBA for everyday use,mails,navigating and for lecturing....with keynote. Basically the documents that I need to share daily will be keynote dcts. And may be some apperture projects.
All the mails calendars etc work beautiful with mobileme.
I don´t really need to conect the imac at work.
Any ideas to make things easy?
If I work only wit dcts does are about 400 KB. If I use my folder of preentations is about 42 GB, I think I just need to work with dcts....

How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

How to transfer files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

I heard you can transfer selected files between two Macs running Tiger. I'm not talking about setting up a new Mac w. files from an older one, if that's different? Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to a "how-to" link? Thanks.

Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

How do I share files between two Macs using ethernet?

I have two Macs, both running OS X 10.4.11. How can I connect them using ethernet in order to transfer files back and forth?
Pete

I have an ethernet hub with both computers connected to it. You may be able to just connect the two computers with a cable, but it might have to be a "Crossover cable"
Go to your system preferences>>Sharing and turn of file sharing for each or both computers.
Then go to the Finder>>Go>>Network and the other computer should show up there. Click to connect.
You will have a choice to connect under a password or as a guest. If you want security, set up passwords, otherwise just use guest.

Sharing Keynote documents between two macs.

I am Sharing Keynote documents between my two macs via wi-fi, so my question , is there a potential problem of data lost when going back and for from one computer to the other. It is very important that no possible problems may happen for important lectures.....
Thanks

Ok that sounds good, Both computers should have all the fonts, no music at the moment.
I was wondering that I had data lost when transferenig keynote documents using usb memory sticks, lost of pictures, the trick that avoid that was compressing the document before placing it into the usb memory stick.....I undertood that was because of the memory stick format. So going from computer to computer through wifi should be fine...just does recomendations that you were saying. Right ?

How to sync documents on two Macs?

Hi,
I have two Macs and want to sync the documents on a specific folder on both of them. In these folders I collect a lot of PDFs from the Internet.
I want to periodically update the "superset" of the documents on a specific folder on both macs.
How can I do this? Is it possible to do this with a batch script that is run in the background?
Best Regards

OSX apps are not "synced", neither the ibooks, music or apps from iOS are. They are held available for you in iOS' appstore and Mac Appstore to re-download them later again. Apps,books,etc do not appear in your personal cloud at all. They are not part of your 5GB account.
Music/Video purchases from iTunes in the cloud are not available in every country.
Question: How can I sync my mac mini to the same iCloud account? Other than logging in with the same Apple ID. I am not sure what else I can do.
using the same Apple-ID you use on your other iCloud devices, this is the way to sync. Nothing wrong there.

How can I synchronize Documents between two Macs

My early 2007 iMac has been hospitalized for over two weeks waiting for a new logic board from Apple. I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro to use in the meantime, but have never synchronized the two machines, so many files that I want/need are not available. When the iMac gets back home, I would like to copy the complete Documents fiolder from the iMac to the MacBook and then find some way of keeping them synchronized in the future. (Both my machines are running OS X 10.7.2.)

you can check out syncmate - it syncs data between Macs. According to information at their website, folders can be synced in real time - seems like it's what you were looking for.
According to information on their website you get 50MB for free and 200MB if you pay $40, I don't know about you but I fill 50MB very fast.

How to share internet between two Imacs

Hi I just got me a new Imac and I want to share the internet with my other Imac
(two years old) useing the built-in airport extreme. Thanks boscoman

Hi boscoman
Assuming that one iMac is receiving its internet connection through the ethernet cable, here's how you do it.
On the Mac that's sharing out it's connection, go to System Preferences, Sharing, Internet, and set the options as:
Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
To computers using: Airport
Then click "Airport Options" and set the name of the network you want to create, and an encryption and password (optional). Click "Start".
On the other Mac, go to the Airport menu, and locate the new network. Log in with the password you just set. That should do it!

Can I share documents between two computers?

Hello All:
I have two computers (MB Pro and MB Air), an iPad and and iPhone, and now I have converted everything over to iCloud. My calendars and mail sync across all devices no problem. But, I want to be able to sync my documents the same way across all devices. Is this possible?
As an example, I want to create a Pages document on my MB Air and save it to iCloud. Then, I want to be able to open in from my MB Pro without having the iPad in between.
Please tell me this is doable.

How to share library between two people on one computer

The only way to do this would be to move the catalog and photos to a removable drive. PSE is just not designed for multi-user situations.

How to Share music between two libraries / Apple ID's?

So my boyfriend and I have moved in together and will soon be utilizing the same computer. I have an Apple ID and music library, he has an Apple ID and music library. I would like to create a separate login to the computer so we can still keep our separate ID's / libraries for syncing purposes (making sure we each have our own Calendars, Contacts, Photos, etc...) but would like to Share music with one another and be able to add it to our iPhone's without having to buy or download it twice.
A couple of things below
What's the easiest way to transfer all of my current information to his computer? External hard drive?
What's the easiest way to share music and / or apps while keeping individual Apple ID's?
Will the Home Sharing option work here?
OR, will we have to create a new Apple ID, transfer our information to that new ID, and create two separate libraries off of that?
Any and all advice is appreciated. Trying to make this as easy and painless as possible

Thanks so much identd! So with that first option, we won't have to double download the music correct? I just want to make sure it's not taking up too much space on our computer either. It will always be updated b/c the iTunes library folder's will be public now correct?

How to share files between two accounts on the same Macbook Pro???

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Macbook Pro and have created two accounts, one for me and one for my wife.
I have all the itunes music on my account and my wife wants to load some of the songs nto her Itunes on her account but I don't want to start copying files into the "shared folder" in the "users folder" which will obviously take up more room on my hard drive.
I have noticed that I can see my folders when she is logged in but the ones that she needs to access (like the music folder) have a red dot on them and when you double click on them it brings up the message "the folder "music" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient privileges".
Can anyone help me with these problems?
Please help me!!!

Hi, remember to set the ownership & permissions for files/folders if you want to be able to amend files or change them from both accounts. If a file is created in one account. it may only be viewed in the other account. but if you change the ownership & permissions from "read only" to "read and write" then files can be amended from both accounts. To get the info, simply click once on the folder or file then command-i to get the file/folders info. you can change things there. Permissions can only be change from the account the file/folder was created in.
