Is it possible to sync catalogs between computers?

I would like to sync PSE 10 catalogs (over my homegroup network) between my desktop computer (Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit) and my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit), similar to the syncing between a computer and the photoshop.com website. Is that possible?

If you're talking about synching the photos, and the photos are on the computers, the answer is "No" because the catalog keeps the location information keyed to the drive ID.
If you want to store the photos on a network storage device that's common to both computers, it can be done. See this FAQ:

Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines

I have use of so many cloud services including the 20gb that Adobe gives me. Is there a way i can sync my catalog on the cloud so that i can have all my metadata on both my laptop and desk top? I also have 300gb of cloud storage though Copy. I would just like some recomendations on how best to go about it. Thanks

Hi Pat,
Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines
If you’re running Lightroom on a laptop during your location shoots, you might want to take all the edits, keywords, metadata, and of course the photos themselves, and add them to the Lightroom catalog on your studio computer. It’s easier than it sounds: basically, you choose which catalog to export from your laptop, then you take the folder it creates over to your studio computer and import it.
You need to decide whether you want to export a folder (all the imported photos from your shoot), or a collection (just your Picks from the shoot). In this case, we’ll go with a collection, so go to the Collections panel and click on the collection you want to merge with your main catalog back in your studio. (If you had chosen a folder, the only difference would be you’d go to the Folders panel and click on the folder from that shoot instead. Either way, all the metadata you added, and any edits you made in Lightroom, will still be transferred over to the other machine.)
Please refer to http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1930499 for more details.
Thanks!

Is it possible to sync numbers between iPad and iPhone and mac

Is it possible to sync Numbers between iPhone and iPad and IMac. I work in a school and want to keep test scores for my class in the one place without having to manually update the spreadsheets each time I enter scores.
Thanks in advance
Conor

Yes, Numbers syncs (very well) via iCloud. You need to activate Numbers iCloud sync on all of your devices.
On the Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure Documents & Data is checked. Also click the Options... button next to Documents & Data and check Numbers.app.
On each iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > and turn on Numbers. Also go to Settings > Numbers and turn on Use iCloud.
After you've got things working, it's best to close down the Numbers document on one device before you use it on another.

Is it possible to sync calendars between two different users?

Hi
Installing the drive into the older machine may work, you WILL get a lot of driver errors and the unit may even fail to boot. The other problem is that the drives may not be compatable, the drive in the broken PC is a SATA drive, older PCs had IDE drives with very different connectors.
Your best option is to do as you suggest and obtain a USB caddy and extract the data that way.
Make sure that the caddy you get will support SATA drives (all new ones will).

Any update on synching catalogs between computers...

I didn't see this mentioned in the Victoria's posted release notes...
I'm wondering if there are any plans to add synching capabilities between computers? Having one catalog to use while tethering, exporting that catalog then importing it to my main catalog is just a lot of work that I wish didn't have to take place. I'd even be fine with a requirement to never have both catalogs open at once.
It would also be nice to do processing work on my MacBook Pro while away from home and then be able to easily sync those changes back to my Mac Pro (something like how ChronoSync works).

I would also like to have an easy way to work with one LRCAT set between multiple computers. With LR3 you cannot store LRCAT files on a network drive. If we could then we could use it more like a central database. Sometimes I am editing images on my main PC but other times I want to work on my catalogs elsewhere in myhome from my laptop and have to import/export to keep things in sync. I like may people that value their images like to keep my files on NAS storage to take advantage of the RAID1 protection and I belive with gigabit network equipement being the norm even for SOHO this should be acceptable performance, or at least a minor paus between image loads being much less of an anoyance than having to go through extra import/export processes.
I can also see a need for server based version of LR. Currently LR3 is conceptualy similiar to MS Access, and I can see a need for a self sufficient version of LR Server that would be conceptualy similiar to MS SQL Server. LR4 or a future version of the current LR product could be enhanced to be a required UI 'front end' or (a.k.a. fat client) to access the server based image reposator I will call LR Server.
This theoretical LR Server product would/should be licenced out of the box for single simultanious access so i lines up with the LR and PS EULA ability to use the same licence on a second portable comptuer for non simultanious use. Then there should be a way to upgrade the licence for multiple simultanous access for small companies that need one LR database accessed by multiple simultanous users. LR Server would not need security controls of its own as it can rely on usual server permissions, we just need easy central access without the anoyance of import/export processes.

How do you sync files between computers

I want to sync files between Macbook Pro (2011) and IMac. File structure for Pictures needs to be Identical, not sure what is best method. Do not want to try until I have a good plan.
Ashleyriverman

Hello AshleyRiverman,
It sounds like you have a directory of folders that contain photos in a specific organization that you want to copy to another computer. You can enable File Sharing to be able to access the photos from one computer on another, and even allow the viewing computer to be able to add photos or delete them, thereby keeping them the same across both computers. This article will help you get that set up and configure the permissions for it:

Sync Mail Between Computers

I am running 2 macs. I have one problem...is there any way that I can have my mail sync on both computers without .mac ... It can be quite a pain having to check then delete the mail on one computer, and then come on my other computer and have to delete all the same messages. Again, I would not like to have to subscribe to .mac ... I know it is a great program from mac, but the fees can be a pain, so if there is any way to do this, I would thank you!!!!
Thank You.

Hi.
With .Mac mail, it allows you to run it as a IMAP mail, which stores everything on the mail server.
That is the kind of mail you probably looking for, to "sync" between two or more macs, you basically access your entire mail account, which is on a mail server, via an email program like Mail or Entourage.
So if you do not wish to subscribe to .Mac, then you would have to look for another mail account, that supports IMAP.
Incidently, if you are looking for a free email account, and don't mind accessing it fromt the web, (i.e. web-based mail) then there are a lot for you to choose from: GMail, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail
Cheers

Syncing documents between computers?

When I had MobileMe, I used my iDisk to move files back and forth between my home and work computers. I've just "upgraded" to iCloud, and based on what I'm reading, it looks like iCloud only lets you keep documents in sync if they're produced in Apple's own document suite (Pages, Keynote, Numbers). Is that correct? Is there no way in iCloud to sync other documents?
Thanks in advance!

Never mind, I've figured it out. Apparently now I can use my Time Capsule as a self-hosted iDisk equivalent, which seems to work just as well as iDisk did.

Is it possible to sync files between OS 10.4.11 and ML?

Migration and Setup Assistant won't work, the OS' are too distant in technology. Syncing the PPC G5 to my new iMac was only possible via drag and drop(6 days for 700 GBs!!).
I'm hoping there's an app out there...?
TIA

No, there is no way to do it at this time. I don't know what Apple is playing at in this respect.http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

.Mac failing to sync Contacts between computers--what do I need to Copy?

I have two computers syncing everyhting via .Mac but today after making a lot of changes on one (the Quad), the Powerbook is blowing up with the following statement (which I see is not an uncommon error after reading a lot of post):
.Mac Sync Notice
An inconsistency was detected on .Mac for your Contacts data. You may want to reset .Mac from a computer with good data.
I have tried following the .Mac support ideas:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/2.0/en/isc9.html
The 'Reset Sync History" did not change the error.
So now, I am thinking of going back to the old fashion way and just manually copy the file from my Quad over. Other than AddressBook.Data in Library/Application Support/AddressBook do I need to copy anything else to get back to a steady state????
PB 17 1.33 GHZ & 12 1GHZ & new Quad Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I manually copied over entire Address file and then reset Quad first to overcopy .Mac and then PC to reset to .Mac.
Had to do it twice, but eventually I was able to get it to work again.

Firefox won't sync passwords between computers

Hello,
I recently got a new desktop computer and would like to move my Firefox data from my laptop. Using sync, I have successfully transferred my bookmarks. However, my passwords are not syncing.
I do not have a master password enabled and I have clicked the option to sync passwords on both devices. When I use the Options menu to view my saved passwords on both computers, I can definitely see that the many passwords I have saved on the laptop have not made it over to the desktop. I have tried restarting Firefox on both devices. I do also have the latest version of Firefox on both.

and what really pissed me off was he said that he would make sure that all my information would copy and paste over to the new firefox.. yeah NOT, I'm having to go back and add all my tabs/websites. what I do love about Firefox is the pinning of tabs and remembers passwords/information. again Thanks

Is it possible to sync mailboxes between iMac and iPad

I am trying to sync up my mailboxes between my iMac and my iPad. Using Apple Mail App on both devices. Using non-mac email on App. The only place I have previous messages stored is on my iMac. Is there a way to sync them up?

The folders that you set up in Apple Mail on the Mac are for local storage only and will not sync to the iPad.
If you had an IMAP email account, any folders that you had in the account on the server would have already synced to the iPad when you created the email account in the mail app.

Is it possible to sync Notes between Mail (10.5) and iPod Touch?

The Mail app in 10.5 includes the "notes" feature; and there is a "notes" app in the upgrade for iPod touch; but when I perform a sync, the Notes items do not transfer.
There is a menu item in iTunes to set up which apps will sync -- but Notes is not on the menu. Am I missing something? Is it possible to make them sync? not very useful this way.
Many thanks.
Tony

Photoshop CC - Can't sync settings between computers

Hi!
I have Photoshop CC both on my desktop computer and on my laptop. Now I want to sync the settings to my laptop. But it doesn't work.
Here is a screendump from my desktop computer:
As you can see I'm logged in to my account. But shouldn't I also be listed as logged in under Settings > Syncronize Settings?
Is there something I have overlooked?
I would be thankful for some support.
Thor

I went into the help menu and signed out of PSCC 2014, and then signed right back into it and it was available for me to save my settings. This worked for me - Hope it works for anyone who finds this post.

I have had ipad and iphone for a while and my mail, contacts and calendar are all synced up so that when I add or delete an item on one device it mirrors that on the other.
