How to Share Dropbox folder of Pr CS6 project between two computers

I have one computer that has a dropbox folder and project as c:\dropbox\prproject\proj1 and another computer with z:\dropbox\prproject\proj1
When I open the project for the first time on the second computer, some of the assets are there and some are not. I want to be able work on computer 1 for a while, close it, go home, then continuje to work on computer 2, close the project, then go back to computer 1 the next day.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Yes, thanks for asking. I do have a solution. My directory structure on the two computers is quite different so making them the same so I can work with the same premier project is awkward. I was just hoping I would not have to go through that for each project. To me, it's like telling us that we can not move the project from one computer to another unless the directory below the relative path is identical. I would have thought a sophisticated product like Adobe Premiere would have a better way to handle that.
Say for example I send a project to a colleague who does not have the same name as me and has something like "elena/mydocs" instead of peter/mydocs. Seems like we would be stuck then.

How can I best keep a current iPhoto file between two computers?

I currently have an iMac and a Macbook Pro. I would like to be able to use iPhoto on both computers, but what I do with one computer, it doesn't sync with the other (sorry I didn't get Mobile Me when I could!!). Anyone have an idea of how best to manage this? Mainly I spend time organizing the photos (1,000s of them, getting them all in order) on the Macbook, while I would edit and make albums on the iMac. THANK YOU!

This is an age-old question, and a tricky one. In theory, you could store the iPhoto library file on Dropbox or another service shared between both your Macs. However you'd have to be very diligent in making sure to never have both iPhotos open at the same time. I'm not sure what would happen if both Macs accessed the same file simultaneously, but let's just assume the universe would collapse.
Alternatively, if you primarily EDIT on one Mac, but only VIEW on another Mac, and if they're both on the same local network, you could set up local sharing between the two computers. You can do this in the iPhoto preferences > Sharing.
I'm sure there are other methods too, but the fact is iPhoto just wasn't designed for this.

Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode?

Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode? Grab a drink and let me tell you my story.
I purchased two computers... an iMac 27" i7 3.4 16GB RAM and a Mac mini 2.3 i5 8 GB RAM. Both have Thunderbolt capability and are in fact connected by thunderbolt. I have 3 problems...
1. My Mac mini WILL NOT recognize any bluetooth keyboard. Let me back up for clarification. I set my iMac up first. No problems there. I then went on to set up my mac mini. A couple of interesting things happened concering bluetooth activity. First thing is that the keypad, which was already paired with my iMac wouldn't be recognized by the mac mini, and yet my bluetooth mouse which was paired with my iMac became paired with my mac mini and thus wouldn't be recognized by my iMac anymore. I had to go to my back room and dig out my other bluetooth mouse so that my iMac would at least recognize my second mouse. So now I have two "mice"presently. One for the mac mini, the other for the iMac. Thankfully I also had a USB keypad for my mac mini. My bluetooth keypad is still paired with my iMac but won't pair with my mac mini, which brings me to another question....
2. CAN 1 KEYPAD AND 1 MOUSE PAIR WITH TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTERS SO THAT WHEN I GO INTO TARGET MODE VIA THUNDERBOLT I CAN USE THE SAME KEYPAD AND MOUSE FOR BOTH COMPUTERS? Anybody have some thoughts on that problem?
3. WHY IN THE WORLD IS MY MOUSE CURSOR DISAPPEARING EVERYTIME I EXIT TARGET MODE VIA PASSWORD AND COMMAND F2. I'm using target mode to access my mac mini. But when I exit target mode to get back into my iMac I'm looking at my iMac screen but I can't see the mouse pointer! I can move the pointer around even though I can't see it. Wierd. And this has apparently been going on for some time with other users for over a year. I am presently completely up to date on Lion updates. Both systems are running 10.7.4. Does anyone have a solution or heard a rumor of a solution coming soon regarding the invisible mouse cursor "curse". I hate having to restart my iMac everytime I exit out of target mode just so I can get my mouse cursor visible again.
Food for thought.... Wouldn't it be really cool to have a target mode capability to see your other computers desktops in seperate window screens on your main display. You then could go back and forth from each window by just double clicking or by certain key commands. You could drag and drop from desktop to desktop. Tell me this is coming soon.
Thanks

How do I sync the same library between two computers?

I have an iMac and a Macbook Air, and I am constantly buying music betwen the two computers, and my iPhone. I want to be able to sync up my iPhone on both computers, but it keeps telling me I have to resync my entire phone, which is just crazy. How can I sync up itunes? I have .mac to sync my contacts, mail, etc.

I have an iMac and a Macbook Air, and I am constantly buying music betwen the two computers
Constantly? The MacBook Air is brand new.
Even if you sync iTunes between two computers With something like this -> syncOtunes, you will still get this message if you sync to the other computer. The libraries may be have the same music but they are not the same library.

How to Best Share Music Between Two Computers

My wife and I have two computers with two different iTunes libraries. We'd like to share music. What's the most time efficient way to authorize our respective computers for each other's songs?
I think I could go to the various folders in the file system on my wife's computer, copy each song I want, and store it in a new folder on my own computer. But this seems really time consuming for 500 songs. Is there a faster way, like importing directly from her library after I've enabled it to share?
Thanks.

Unless both computers are on all the time then each computer will need its own copy of any music in the iTunes library. An external neetwork drive may be a good option. Set both computers' iTunes to store music there then the files will be available to both at any time. If that is not an option then you will need to continue copying files from one machine to the other.

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

How do i share files between two computers using the ethernet?

i have bought a cord that is ethernet to ethernet. i do not understand how or where to go after the two computers are seemingly connected. i have a bunch of photos on iphoto id like to transfer. thank you.

Out of curiosity do you already have a home network? If so do both computers connect to the network? In this case just use File Sharing which is enabled in the Sharing preferences.

IWeb projects from two computers. How do I combine onto one machine.

Hi,
I have been working on five sites in total. Three of them were satrted on my iMac G5 and recently I have just started two more but on my new MacBookPro.
They are all published, but I now want to combine all of the projects onto my MacBookPro. After some research it seems that iWeb saves one file called Domain in the iWeb folder. I can't have two Domian files in the same folder (one replaces the other)
Question is, how do I combine all of my iWeb projects together into one Domain file?
Any help appreciated.
Keith

I was wondering the same thing, for the same
reason...it sounds as if the separate domain files
must be maintained separately [maybe in separately
named folders in AppSupport/iWeb? and then just
switch between the separate folders to be able to
edit on one machine....but then be careful when you
do an Announce, because it'll only send
http://web.mac.com/nameofuser to the people and it
might open up Site #2 and not the one you sent,
right??
This is the reason there are applications like iWebSites (http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/) that help you to switch in and out different domain files. With multiple sites, you must specify the longer URL in order to get people to the specific site. I don't think the Announce email function is really up to snuff in this regard.
Any easy way to cure this issue of being able to
easily announce Site 2 to some and Site 3 to others?
without visiting sites and sending the LONG link????
that's inelegant.

Help.. best way to share FC projects between 4 computers

Hi There,
We are a small video production company and we use four computers to edit, one Mac Pro, two iMacs and a Macbook Pro.
The problem we have is that we often need to move the projects from one computer to another, so different members of the team can pick up on a project on a different computer... we need a solution to be able to share the projects so that they are all held on a central storage device, and then we can edit them all off there.
The problem is that we work in uncompressed 1080p format, so file sizes are high.
We dont currently have any kind of network set up, and have to upload it onto a hard drive then download it to the next computer, which all takes hours to do!
What are the different options that we have with regards to networks, speed, and central storage devices?
I have read a lot on the apple website about Xsan, Xserve and Final Cut Server, but don't really understand how it all works and realistically howe much approx. it will cost to implement something like this in our company?
any help or advice is greatly appreciated about how you share projects and store data centrally.
Thanks
Tom

Your question is very loaded! You really need professional integration support to properly arrive at an answer, but I'll attempt to cover the highlights.
I'll skip the part where we might consider not adopting Xsan and Final Cut Server. For collaborative workflows like yours it is an excellent, if relatively expensive option. I'll also skip the part where I explore your use of uncompressed 1080p in a world with ProRes 422 HQ; I'm sure you have your reasons (though I'm puzzled as to how you can edit that format on an iMac or MacBook and not drop frames constantly).
First, with Xsan, Mac Pros are your only choice for workstations. Xsan requires a fibrechannel connection to the client and that is only possible on a Mac Pro tower with a fibrechannel card installed. Yes, many have had some success "resharing" their Xsan over AFP or SMB or NFS, but for uncompressed 1080 that is essentially impossible. Each member computer needs a £491 fibrechannel card.
Xsan requires a dedicated computer to act as the "boss" of the SAN called a metadata controller. Many Xsan deployment shave two of them for redundancy (for the sake of thrift we'll only look at one for you). An Xserve or Mac Pro will work, so for the sake of argument we'll repurpose your existing Mac Pro for MDC duty.
So you will be replacing your four edit stations with £3,000+ Mac Pros (depending on how many goodies you put in them). You'll also need some monitors for them since they are not built-in as with your existing Macs. Let's call that another £3,000 to be safe. We'll avoid the AJA or Decklink cards, HD broadcast monitors, and other accessories since they are not really part of the SAN-scape.
You will also need a copy of Xsan software for each member computer, including the metadata controller(s) at £816 each.
You will also need a second gigabit switch for Xsan's filesystem metadata, you should be able to get one for around £100. This switch must not be shared with other network traffic!
Of course there is the RAID storage. Apple sells Promise RAIDs, and a 32TB chassis will store about 50 hours of your footage. Off the top of my head I'm not sure how many streams of that it will be able to support. Figure on needing at least two of these I reckon. £15,000 for the first one and £13,000 for the expansion chassis.
Lastly, you need a fibrechannel switch. The popular Qlogic 5600 with 8 ports active will cost £2,200.
And since you posted here, clearly you want Final Cut Server. Again, an Xserve or Mac Pro will do, and a properly spec'd one will cost about £7,000 for the hardware and another £816 for the Final Cut Server software itself.
You're already over £60,000 and you still need expert help setting it up, you'll want UPS batteries to keep the SAN stable, and we haven't touched on backing it all up.
You could easily spend £100,000 before you are done. It might be an intimidating figure, but that's the ante for this game.

Syncing Aperture library between two computers using MobileMe and DropBox

I'd like to have my Aperture library automatically sync'd between my MacBookPro and iMac.
I have MobileMe and I'd ideally like to use it to sync, however I believe Aperture sees the library as a large single file, and so is not really practical to do this.
I believe DropBox does handle this better, but I only have the 2GB free version, and don't want to upgrade while I'm paying for MobileMe (which I use mainly for iPhone syncing).
So, I was wondering would keeping the RAW and JPEG images in my iDisk (outside the library) and using a library in my DropBox folder using referenced master files to the images seem like a workable solution?
I appreciate I need to only use one system at a time and make sure it's all sync'd before using the other computer or risk corruption.

Just curious - why do you think it would be slow?
With iDisk sync turned on the master images would be on the local hard drive, as would the library in the DropBox folder. Might have to use a symbolic link or mount to make the local hard disk iDisk folder appear in the exact same location on both machines, though maybe not even that?

Can't share between two computers, and I've tried everything in this forum

Two Computers - iMac G3, Intel MacBook Pro, both running 10.4.9 and iTunes 7.1.1. I've got iTunes Firewall through port 3689 turned on on both. Both are on a wireless connection on the same subnet. I've got Share library" turned on in iTunes and also "look for shared libraries". Still can't get the libraries to show up. This has worked in the past, but I haven't used it much. The MacBook is new and this is the first time trying to do this, but it did work with the PowerBook it replaced.
Could it be an authorization thing?
At my wit's end on this, and wife is getting P.O'd that I'm spending so much time on it instead of what I should be doing. Save my marriage and help me out.
MacBook Pro, G3 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) iTunes 7.1.1
MacBook Pro, G3 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I've got a similar problem. I have just copied my music library to an external HD connected to my Airport Extreme Base Station. I would like for both computers to share a single library so that I could import a CD, or buy a song from the iTunes Store, on either computer and the library file would be updated. At the moment, both computers can play songs from the external HD, but, for example, if I add a new song to the library from my G4, then turn on my MacBook Pro and open iTunes, the new song doesn't appear.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Both computers running OS 10.4.9 with iTunes 7.1.1. I've tried sharing the libraries as Micalk mentioned... no dice.

CS6 + Creative Cloud + two computers = interminable mess

I am so fed up with Adobe right now. Every supposed 'solution' leads to another dead end. I contacted a guy on chat earlier and his advice sounded good at the time ("You have to sign up your laptop to Creative Cloud, then download and install") except I can't find any way of doing what he said. How do you 'sign up your laptop to Creative Cloud'?
Look. I upgraded from CS3 to CS6. I did so using the Creative Cloud join monthly for a year option. It worked - for my desktop computer. Today, for almost six hours, I've been trying to get it to work on both my desktop and laptop, as CS3 did, as I'm told the license for CS6 allows. In fact, I can find plenty of confirmations on the site that I can use the software on two computers (allowing for deactivation/activation) but I can't find any sensible instructions on how to go about it.
And in the process of trying to follow the arcane suggestions and lack of suggestions, I find that all the CS6 components on my desktop computer have now changed their minds - they believe they are trial versions. Even though I've paid, and have the receipt. So I found instructions for how you're supposed to overcome that problem, downloaded the supposedly patched version of AAM, and tried to follow the next steps, which include deactivating a component by choosing 'Deactivate' under the 'Help' menu. Guess what? You can't access the Deactivate instruction under the help menu; it's greyed out. Another dead end.
I HAVE WORK TO DO! THE WORK I HAVE TO DO IS SUPPOSED TO BE PAYING FOR MY UPGRADE TO CS6! YOU ARE STUFFING ME AROUND AND COSTING ME MONEY, ADOBE! YES, I MEAN TO SHOUT! I AM VERY PISSED OFF!
Does anyone have any idea what I should do from here? Is Quark Express still available?

The trial problem remains insoluble. I've tried going through the steps at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/trial--1-launch.html without success.
Firstly, that page says "You also have Creative Suite 5 (CS5) products installed on the same computer." As far as I know I have never had any product from CS5. I've had CS3 and I've upgraded to CS6. That's all.
Ther page also says "Acrobat displays the error, "Configuration Error 130:10." Not that I can see. There's no error message when azi try to use Acrobat.
Anyway, I try to do what the page tells me to. I download the patched version of AAM, install it, then open a CS6 component. I've tried each of InDesign, Photoshop and Acrobat. According to the instructions, once I've opened them, I should choose 'Deactivate' from the 'Help' menu. In each case 'Deactivate' is greyed out, so I can't choose it. So I'm at Step 4 and can't go any further.
