IDVD burning one project on multiple macs? where are project contents?

How do I burn one project on multiple macs? I have a idvd project I created in keynote, added music to it in Garageband, exported to quicktime, and now is in iDVD burning just fine. However I have tons of these dvd's to make, I would like to put all my mac's to work.
last night i tried to share the file, and it is just an alias when i drag it over from the macbook it was created on to my imac. the file says it is in use and locked, since the macbook that created it is burning it. If I wanted to brun on the imac, I had to wait until the macbook was done.
is there a way around this? What if I copied all files I used to make the idvd project to my imac or any computer i wanted to burn on? woudl it hen allow two macs to be burning the same project?
I figured I could do this just like on my PC, drag the file over and voila...no such luck, its like if i had dragged a shortcut over to another pc...if the first one is using the file, its locked. Basically how do i get to the actual contents of the project, so I can also bring them over and hopefully it will allow me to burn on multiple macs at the same time?
my next solution if that didn't work was to start copying dvd's using popcorn on the other macs while the macbook continues burning through idvd.
Any opinions on how i can duplicate a dvd fast...need alot of copies!

Also as to where the files are.
I-DVD project bundle: This is the file created when you save the project.
• [user]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located in your home folder.
• [root]/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is located at the root of your disk.
• /Network/Library/iDVD/Favorites: This folder is on a network system specifically
configured by your system administrator for this purpose. (This is not the same as
having a server networked into your computer.)

  • Transferring photos from ipad2 to mac - where are photos?

    I took my ipad2 on vacation and used the camera connection kit (CCK?) to download my SD cards. (many people, many cameras)
    I used iPhoto to transfer my photos to my mac but can't find them anywhere except within iPhoto.
    On my pc, the photos are treated as individual files that you can move around, rearrange and duplicate.
    Where are the individual photos on my mac? Finder shows the images in iPhoto Library, but I can't manipulate it at all.

    You can export them out of iPhoto.

  • Where are the contents of GPnP profile stored?

    On my 3 node RAC setup using SCAN with GNS,
    I renamed GPnP profile on one node , stoppped clusterware on that node and tried to restart it. The c/w started and GPnP profile file was automatically recreated with name pending.xml. The moment I changed the value of ASM_DISKSTRING parameter using SQL, pending.xml was automatically renamed to profile.xml and ASM_DISKSTRING value was updated in it. I presumed that GPnPd copied the profile from one of the other nodes.
    Next I renamed the profile on all the nodes, stopped clusterware on one of the nodes and restarted it. But now again the same thing happened as earlier i.e. it was created as pending.xml and was renamed to profile.xml when updated via SQL. From where were the contents of the file read? Is it OLR?

    I am renaming ghome/gpnp/hostname/profile/peer/profile.xml
    Following post explains all I did:
    http://oracleinaction.blogspot.in/2013/01/LOSEGPNPPROFILE.html
    Pls also clarify why do we have gpnp profile in two locations?

  • Where are tasks/content of UWL stored?

    Hello folks,
    I'd like to know: Where is the content (e.g. tasks) of the UWL stored? I nearly found everything in the CM (discussions, feedback, and so on), but no UWL-content.  Where are the items stored, that can be generated with the following iView? =>com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui.UWL
    Regards
    Steffen

    Hello Steffen,
    I don't know how much this will help you, but the workflow repository in KM seems to contain (at least some of) the UWL information.  However, when attempting to view the UWL content directly from within KM, the content isn't displayable.  To test, I created a subscription on that repository and updated the progress of a task assigned to me.  A new item was created in the workflow repository at that time, but to reiterate, it contained no displayable content.
    Other than that, I know of no other avenue within KM through which any kind of UWL tasks can be accessed.  If there is a way, hopefully someone else can shed more light on this topic.
    Cheers,
    Fallon

  • Older version of Thunderbird suddenly updated itself to 13.3.0; where are the contents of my Personal Address Book - HELP!

    Last night my old old version of Thunderbird suddenly updated itself to Ver. 13.3.0. I've finally fixed it to show my messages, but under "personal address book" there are no contents (and I had a lot of contacts). I back up my Profile files every night so I know which files are involved, but WHERE in the the Ver. 13.3.0 do I point it to see my collected contacts. I must admit that the "old" version of Thunderbird was very old (perhaps 7.6.0?) but I have had no need for any of the changes since the so have not updated; BTW, I do not like 13.3.0 as everything seems to be hidden. I cannot "export" from the old Thunderbird to the new version because I now don't have the "old" version. I cannot "import" from some other email program as I was using Thunderbird and I can't find any files in my Profile with the extensions mentioned in the "import" wizard. I hope someone can help me who understands where the secrets are hidden in the Profile files. Also, the information in the "Profile Manager" article don't seem to apply to my computer (Windows 7 Pro) so I wasn't able to pursue that. I'm not a programmer but I was really enjoying the older version of Thunderbird and hope someone can help me get my contacts back. Thank you so much.

    This would be totally unsupported. . .
    I suspect that the format of how PAB is stored would be incompatible with what Mozilla wants.

  • Working iWeb project on multiple macs

    I have an iMac at work and a powerbook at home (i know, backwards). I have started building a site in iWeb at work and would like to be able to work on the project at both locations (home and work). Is there any simple way to do this?
    I did find a suggestion to transfer a "domain" file from the one computer to the other, and presumably this would do it. But I have other iWeb projects on my home computer and do not want them to be overwritten either.
    I tried to publish as a folder and then to open it in iWeb but--to my astonishment--there does not appear to be any way to open up files/folders... What could apple have been thinking?
    If anyone knows a method for me to transfer the project to my other computer *without overwriting* my existing projects on that computer i would be very grateful.
    Many thanks,
    Mark.

    Nothing gets overwritten as long as you don't give sites the same names. Moving the Domain file is how one uses multiple computers:

    If the ability to open published html files is essential for you, best to use another app to create your web sites.

  • Idvd burns one dvd, then hangs?

    I'm working on a larger project, 6 segments totaling a little over 3 hours, twice I've made a new project in idvd which burns the disc fine but on the 2nd disc burns partway then hangs. From the good info on here i deleted the prefs file and then repaired permissions which I tried after the first time, but no good, one disc then poof! I am using double layer discs.
    I didn't work from a disc image which I wish now I would have done and will try next, is this happening because of the size of the files?
    I think the dv files are a total of 40-50 gigs.
    I had trouble copying the original in toast, so I thought maybe it was the superdrive but I've gotten 2 good dvds.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    I am using x.4.8 so it's not the 4.9 problem, and 4 gigs of ram.

    iDVD does not ask how many copies you want to burn at the start. When it has burnt the first copy, it then asks if you want to burn another one. Toast, at the start, asks how many copies you want to make. Thanks for replying

  • Sharing one library across multiple Macs on a Home Network

    Firstly apologies if this has already been dealt with. I have searched but cannot find exactly what I am looking for.
    My set up is as follows. I have a Mac Book. I run iTunes and my iTunes database is currently on my Mac Book. The actual music and video collection is all on a Home Server that is connected by cable to an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    When I log into my Mac, the server is auto-mounted, and my iTunes library points to the folder on the server.
    So here are my issues:
    1. I am so impressed with Macs that I am about to purchase a Mac desktop. Is there a simple way that a non-technical person can understand, to ensure that I see the same iTunes library whether I use the laptop in the garden or the desktop in the study? I do not want to have to keep updating two separate libraries with changes (that's what the computer should do) rather I want the IT to do it automatically for me.
    2. I also share my entire music collection with my partner. Now sometimes one of us buys a CD we both like from the iTunes Store. If my partner does this and does not tell me, we end up with different libraries that do not match. Is there any way around this problem?
    Looking forwrd to any help you can offer.
    All the best

  • How to share or synchronize one account on multiple macs?

    My family uses one account on iTunes on our central iMac. I would like two of children, who each have their own macs, to be able to access the same music library & purchase songs on their own. How is this done?

    I think the best way would be to make different user accounts on the mac, and then just share the library. Then they should be able to see the shared iTunes library, and have their own accounts on iTunes personal to them as well.

  • Is there a way to work on the same project from multiple macs?

    I was hoping to save a project that I was working in to the Cloud and then downlpad it to my other Mac. Can't seem to figure it out.

    Not sure what your question has to do in respect to Apple networking, but if you're asking can you use your Xbox 360 on a wireless network (regardless of the router's manufacturer) to access different Xbox Live! accounts, then the answer is yes.

  • Time machine on one external drive, multiple MAC's

    Dear all,
    I have connected a external drive "LaCie" to my Imac. Time machine on this Imac works fine.
    I am trying to get my Macbook's Time Machine to use the LaCie drive as well, but it just won't work. I know there are similar topics on this forum dealing with the same issue, but the solutions described just do not work. What is going wrong?
    My Imac is called ImacHans. My personal account "Hans" is the same on the Imac as well as on the Macbook. Passwords are identical. On both machines I am administrator. My Macbook connects to the Imac wirelessly. From my MacBook I can see the ImacHans in the finder. I can browse it's contents. In the finder I can see the "eject button" behind the ImacHans, so I guess that means the ImacHans is mounted? Within the finder I can browse to the LaCie drive. I can add new folders and delete them. Which means I have read and write access rights.
    In Time Machine's preferences (on the MacBook) I can select the LaCie. So far so good, but when I ask Time Machine to "back up now" it fails within seconds. The error message is "Time Machine Error, the backup volume could not be found".
    What is going wrong?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    kind regards,
    hans.

    This may do it from my original idea:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1329
    Symptoms
    If you back up to a Mac OS X 10.5 Server volume or Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard computer using Personal File Sharing via Time Machine, and the password to access the network volume is changed, Time Machine will report "The backup volume could not be mounted" in Mac OS X 10.5.
    Products Affected
    Mail, Time Machine
    Resolution
    Mount the network based volume va the Finder's Connect to Server option. Go to Time Machine preferences in System Preferences, click "Change Disk" and reselect the mounted volume as the backup disk.

  • Learning to use a Mac- where are the video tutorials?

    I am an old PC user, converting to this sleek machine after loving my iphone. but I am really struggling to understand all the new conventions, keystrokes, and shortcuts. I can't even really understand safari- there is no "web address" window at the top, so I go to google for everything.
    Are there not video tutorials somewhere on my machine? reading the articles is hard to do if I don't see the interface.

  • CS3 Mac: Where Are Crash Reports?

    Hello Forum,
    Has anybody noticed where InDesign/InCopy CS3 create crash logs on Mac (release build)? If crashes happen seldom, it is hard to catch them using the debug build or gdb.
    I have the "Developer" setting set in the CrashReporterPrefs, but it seems to be ignored as nothing appears in the CrashReporter log folder in Console. Will I have to press "Send to Adobe" in the crash report dialog and intercept network traffic? Is there a simpler way? I beleive I must have overlooked something really simple...
    Thanks,
    Pavel.
