IPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. can two macs have the same library?

I am running iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have an iMac and a MacAir. How do I have one photo library, say on the iMac, that is then replicated onto the MacAir?

There are two ways to "sync" the two libraries.
#1 - with the two Macs connected download and use  SyncPhotos
Here's how it works:
it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B.
the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.
it then does the same for B.
metadata is not copied.
It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.  This method does not require you to make the decision of which photos to sync. 
NOTE:  this method does not sync keywords, titles, ranking or descriptions.
#2 -  download and use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to copy the Events in Library A that are not in LIbrary B to Library B.  Then select those Events in Library B that are not in A and copy to A.
This method requires you to make the determination which photos (Events) to copy between libraries.  It does copy all metadata, keywords, titles, etc. as well as Faces and Places.

  • Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

    Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

    No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
    I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use  heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

  • TS3899 Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

    Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

    I guess so.    But the email content will mirror on both phones.
    If you are talking about your Apple ID and iCloud email, yes, it is possible, but again the phones will mirror.   You should not have the same Apple ID and iCloud both.  
    Why?
    If you explain the reason for the question we may have a solution that works for you.

  • Can two people share the same library?

    I installed a new mac mini which we're planning on using as a media hub and as a machine to sync my iphone from.  I want to have a "Server" login on it just for itunes to run the backend for Apple TV.  However, I'd also like my itunes library on my "Personal" login.  Can I share the same library betwixt the two (if put into the Shared folder?) or do I have to set it up in my Personal and then share it to the Server login?  If I do that, don't I have to login to both and run itunes before it'll work?  I'd like to avoid anything like that because I travel often and want something my family can leave on and reboot easily while I'm away, without giving my kids access to my Personal login.

  • Can two iPhones have the same number?

    Can I have one phone number work simultaneously for two phones? I'm always forgetting to take my phone with me, and would like to keep one permanently in my purse. The idea is to keep my old iPhone4s and buy an iPhone6, but assign both of them the same phone number. Can it be done?
    Thanks!

    As @Csound1 mentions Google Voice, I will mention that my primary phone number is my Google Voice number. It is set to forward all of my calls to my cell, my home and my office simultaneously. When I answer on any of them it drops the remaining connections. It can also send and receive texts (and forward them to my phones), and it transcribes voicemail to text and emails the transcript to me. There's an iPhone app for it. When you make outgoing calls with it your GV number is what appears in Caller ID. It can also record calls and make conference calls. There is no monthly charge for using it, and it is free for incoming calls and outgoing calls to the US and Canada. International calls are phenomenally cheap, typically 2¢ per minute. When you sign up you get to choose your number, including choosing your area code.

  • How can multiple computers have the same library?

    My family has one iTunes account, but our iTunes library is different on every computer. Our iPods are each synced with a different computer. How can we have one library with all of our purchases together? We use the same account, so it doesn't make sense that the music purchased on my laptop won't show up on our home desktop. Each of our iPods are synced to a different computer.

    No.
    Iphone will sync with one and only one computer a a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.

  • I just bought a second mac, should/can both macs have the same "name"?????

    Hi, I just bought a second mac and need to know what I should do regarding the "naming" of the new one. Should the name be different.....or just the "short' name? Will the files I migrate over not open if it's not the same name as my first mac? when it comes to the new "mobileme", shouldn't my macs have different names in order for it to 'sync' properly? I'm very confused over the entire issue....

    It shouldn't. After migrating files from the old computer to the new one, repair disk permissions. If you're using Mac OS X 10.5.4 or 10.5.3, you might get permission errors, but you don't need to worry about them unless you're having problems running a particular application. I consistently get a "cups" error with 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 but it doesn't affect the computer's performance. It seems to be a bug in the operating system.

  • Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  Yes, there is more to the story.

    I have an iMac, and iPhone.  I've had my Apple ID for a few years. 
    My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password.  I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
    So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID.  When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
    The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
    If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
    You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
    You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.

  • Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?

    Hi Barney,
    That's exactly what I want. I have a personal user and a business user on my MacBook Pro. I want both users to have the same contacts so if I add a contact while I'm logged into my personal user, it will show up when I'm logged into my business user. I want both contacts books to be exactly the same; like you said. So, I used my business user AppleID when I enabled iCloud for my personal user and I enabled iCloud for my business user with that Apple ID as well. For my personal user, I selected Contacts and Calendars to sync with iCloud. For my business user, I selected everything to sync with iCloud. The problem is... it didn't change anything. I restarted my computer to see if that would do anything but nothing happened. I'm not super savvy with Apple products, so maybe I'm completely confused.
    Hi Xeni,
    Thank you for your response, as well.

  • HT5177 How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.

    How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.

    Have the project, events and media on one drive which is common to both macs.
    You can download FCP X to both macs using the same Apple ID that it was purchased with.

  • Can two frames use the same SessionInfo object?

    Hi,
    I have some questions on using InfoBus Frame.
    Do parent frame and child frame HAVE TO make use the same
    SessionInfo object?
    I tried to show Master table and Detailed table in seperate
    frame without login twice. I am lucky it works since I happened
    to make two frames have the same SessionInfo object which is
    sessionInfo1 and conmment out sessionInfo1.publishSession()in
    Detailed frame.
    But when I tried to pass Master frame SessionInfo object to
    Detailed frame there is nothing showing up in the detailed frame
    it is just blank frame.
    So two frames have to use the same SessionInfo object . Dose it
    make sense?
    I would really appreciate anyone who can enlighten me on this
    subject.
    Thanks you so much for the attention.

    1.Use wizard and test the frame
    2.pass the sessioninfo object in parent to child(put method in
    child, call from parent e.g ..getsessionInfo(SessionInfo ss)
    3.pass the sessioninfo object to rowsetinfo in child
    4.add Database authentication (username/password is sufficient)
    methods right before publish method
    *publish activates RowSetInfo and connects to db
    5.add methods in parent to call child
    That should work though depending on how you have set up your
    wizard generated java form, might tweak

  • Can two bands use the same name on iTunes?

    Hi, I'm in a band that uses the same name as another band listed on iTunes.
    Can two bands with the same name be listed on iTunes? We hope to eventually have an album for sale on the site and I'd like to know now if it's going to be a problem.

    Of course it will be a problem. You simply can not have two bands with the same name. I can think of MANY bands that had to change their names (either completely or just for certain countries) because the name was already taken. Blink (Blink-182), Bush (Bush X), The Beat (The English Beat), Yazoo (Yaz), and the list goes on and on.
    Your band better start brain storming for a new or modified name.
