Is it Possible to Sync Certain Projects Between Macs?

It would be very helpful if my wife and I could synchronize certain Aperture projects (not our entire Aperture libraries) between the Aperture libraries on several Macs. Is this possible? We both use the .aplibrary scheme to store our photos.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Aperture is a single-user application, designed to be used by one person in one place at one time. It provides no multi-user functions, nor is there any automatic way to sync Libraries for use in different locations.
There are work-arounds involving exporting and importing/merging, or putting the shared Projects on a Library on a (literally) shared disk that only one of you opens at any time. That's it, afaik.
You can add your voice to the chorus asking for some sharing/syncing via "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".

Is it possible to Sync logic projects between two computers?

Hi All,
I've never had to do this before, but now I have two Macs running Logic Pro (X). As stated above, how would I go about syncing projects? I use Dropbox to sync some data from apps back and forth, and it works pretty well, but that seems impractical with the large file sizes. (Not that I've written it out, but I'm just sayin...) There's no iCloud support, right? Okay, and if this a repeat question, my apologies.

If the two Macs are on the same network.. Use a shared network drive to store and access everything?
There is no iCloud support.. I'm guessing simply because of the size of files that would be stored up there.. which would in essence, have the same issues as using Dropbox would..

There are two standard protocols for receiving email, POP and IMAP. In the POP (Post Office Protocol) when messages are "read" by your email client (Mail) they are downloaded and stored on the reading computer and deleted from the POP server. When you are using IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) the messages remain on the IMAP server until they are deleted. IMAP was created for exactly the situation you are trying to achieve. For example Apple's iCloud (formerly me.com, formerly mac.com) uses IMAP protocol. So whether I access my email on my Mac, my iPhone, my iPad, or via webmail I have access to all the files in all the various mailboxes automatically because they are all seeing and using the same online mailboxes. If I delete a message on any of the varioius devices it is deleted on all of the various devices.
Whether you can use IMAP protocol or not depends on your email host and whether they have an IMAP server or not. Many ISPs do not offer IMAP because they do not want to bear the expense of the additional disk space required to store the IMAP messages. As I mentioned before Apple's free email service is by default IMAP. Google Mail offers a somewhat non-standard IMAP service. It works with Apple's email client, Mail, but it is just a bit "different".
Personally I resisted using IMAP for years. Largely because I had always used POP and was comfortable with it. Once I got an iPhone and needed to synch my email between my computer and iPhone I realized IMAP was "the only way to go."

Syncing Mail Notifications Between Mac and iPhone

Hi
I been having this problem with the mail notifications not syncing between the Mail.app on my MacBook Pro and iPhone. Let me explain:
When I get a new email, I hear the sound and see the red notification icon appear on both the MacBook and the iphone. When it comes to checking the new email, here are the two possible scenarios:
a) If I check the new email on my phone, the red notification icon disappears from BOTH the iphone and the MacBook.
b) If I check the new email on my MacBook, the red notification disappears from the MacBook but DOESN'T disappears from the iPhone (that is until I open the app). This happens with both cases, when the app is "running" in the background or when it is complety closed.
I don't know if I am crazy but I am pretty sure that both of the notifications used to disappear before, no matter where I checked the mail.
I tried deleting and creating the email again on my phone, and it didn't work.
Here some info that could help find a solution:
- I'm using icloud email (@me.com)
MacBook
-Mountain Lion
iPhone:
- iOS 6 (this problem started before the upgrade)
- Push is on.
- Fetch (that suppodselly would be used only if push is off) is set to Manually.
- On the "Advanced" sub-menu inside the Mail settings, Push is also selected.
Hopefully this can actually be fix and I can prove myself that I was not crazy!!
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Anyone find a fix for this problem? I've been waiting for this since notification syncing was announced a couple years ago with iOS 6. I use iCloud for my email and find it very frustrating that when I read an email on my Mac or on iCoud.com that it doesn't automatically dismiss the notifications for those emails on my iOS devices until I open the mail app on each iOS device. Notification syncing works great with other apps. With iMessages, for example, when I read a message on my Mac running Yosemite, the notifications disappear on my iOS devices without opening the messages app (badge app icon, home screen notifications and notification center). Why can't they figure this out with email? I remember at my old job, I had an exchange account that properly synced mail notifications between devices, but it has never worked with my iCloud email. I wonder if I am just missing a particular setting or if Apple just blew it here. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

ITunes: How can I sync my podcasts between Macs and iDevices?

Hi,
Using iTunes for a decade now, I still having the same problem that I don't know how to solve:
How can I sync my podcasts subscriptions and play states between Macs and iDevices?
I am having two MPBs and one iMac, as well as an iPhone and iPad (yes, making someone rich in California), all of them are linked to the same iTunes/Apple account, they are not in the same Wifi.
What I would like to have that all these iTunes (plural) have the same Podcasts with the same played/unplayed states...
Is there any way to do that now, possible with iCloud? I am completely confused now that they have introduced podcast.app for iDevices...
Thank you for any idea for good solution!

From what I can tell, the Podcast app should do for your iOS devices what you're describing--as long as they all use the same Apple ID. Here's an article with some helpful information about the app:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5295
To keep your subscriptions in sync across all devices, the article says this:
"To subscribe to a podcast on your device, tap the Subscribe button from the podcast provider's page from the Podcast catalog. Enable subscription syncing to keep your subscription up-to-date across your iOS devices. On your iOS device tap Settings > Podcasts > Sync Subscriptions > ON.
To sync playback position, the article says this:
"Playback Sync automatically allows you to sync your playback position to all of your iOS devices with the Podcasts app installed, using your Apple ID. In order for Playback Sync to sync your playback position, you must be signed in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID on your iOS devices."
As for keeping playback position on your iOS devices in sync with iTunes on your Macs, you'll need iTunes 11 on all your Macs. So if you're still using iTunes 10 or earlier, you'll need to run a software update to get the latest version. Incidentally, I came across this discussion, which offers some helpful setup/troubleshooting tips about using this new podcast playback syncing feature:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4555757
Hope this is helpful!

The only way to move a print project is to move the Library that contains it.

How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

Hi,
May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
MANY THANKS!
Pierre

Cannot sync FireFox bookmarks between Mac and Android

Hi!
I do not succeed in syncing FireFox 29.0 bookmarks between my Mac (10.9.2) and the latest FF for Android on my Android phone (4.2.2)
What I did:
• Made an account on the FF-site, activated account both on Mac and Android.
• In FF prefs, both on Mac and Android, selected bookmarks for syncing.
• Synced FF actively on Mac. Blue wheel takes some time and then seems to be ready.
• Synced FF actively on Android. Both from the FF-account as within FF. States a 'most recent sync' as being done. Seems to be OK too.
• However, on Android, FF, under the tab 'bookmarks' nothing pops up. What do I do wrong?
• Also started up FF in save mode. No difference.
• Deleted my account en signed up again. No difference.
After trying everything, it looks like signing in is the problem... the sync wheel it turning forever...
Thanx!

Sync wheel turning forever there is a bug for this: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1006360] and we could use the steps to reproduce this. Can you please provide an example sync log from the continual sync.
Please go to <b>about:sync-log</b> in your desktop connected to the android device or on the mobile device as well.

Sharing projects between macs (iMovie 2014)

Hi guys, I just want to ask... how can I share my projects between my iMac and my Macbook air? I started one project in one of them and now I must finish it in the other one.
I found this (in spanish) but is for iMovie '11 and it doesn't work. (iMovie '11: Copiar o mover un proyecto a un disco rígido externo) and I've iMovie 10.0.4.
Thank you in advance.

Hey Espartak
I've retraced my steps and I think I missed a stage in my instuctions above, so here is some revised instructions. Item 4 has changed from my original
I am using iMovie 10.0.4
1. Create a new iMovie library and savedit on an external hard drive with a different name to the current Library. File>open Library>New
You will then see the new library and the old library in the left hand panel.
2. Drag your movie events from one library to the other and this then copies the files into the new library.
3. Ctrl click on the event you have just copied and click “Consolidate Event Media” this will make sure the files are copies to the new library.
4. In the left had column there is “ALL PROJECTS” but there is also an item called “UPDATED PROJECTS” mine appears in my library list under 2013 ?? I don’t know why that is, maybe it is when I updated iMovie? Anyway in here you will find all of the projects again only from here you can move them around. Select the project that you want to copy and drag and drop it over the name of the event in the new library. Then when you click on that event you can see that the project is also there.
5. Once finished click on the new library in the left hand panel Ctrl click and click close library
6. Plug in your external drive to your other Mac. You can either copy your new library from you external drive or leave it there. Open iMovie
7. Find the new library on your external drive/or mac and double clicked it. This then openes iMovie and it imported all of the projects as well as the events.
See if that works for you

Syncing a project between two computers

I just got a new MacBook which I use when I travel every week. I have a project that I started at home on my 24" iMac. When I'm at home I would like to continue using the iMac because of the big screen. However I would still like to work on the project when I have time on the road.
So the question is "Is is possible to copy / sync a whole project with clips between two computers and be able to go back and forth between the computers?" I realize I might have to copy the whole file.
Better yet is there a way to keep the project on an external drive and use iMovie on each computer to open up and work on the project.
Thanks,
Alan

Yes this is possible.
First, make sure your external drive is formatted as MacOS (journalled) or HFS+ (journalled)
Go into iMovie and from the Project list, drag your project to the External Drive by dragging the project name to the icon for the external drive in the project list in iMovie.
Now select File/Consolidate Media and choose Move (not copy). Everything will be consolidated to the external drive where the project is. You can open it on another Mac.
See the iMovie Help for further details.

Sync Entourage Projects between computers?

I'm running OS 10.4.8 and Entourage 11.2.5 and I'd like to be able to sync/share the Entourage Projects I create with my laptop. I haven't seen any specific instructions on how to do this.
I have a .Mac account, too. I know that might come in handy.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I do not believe that sort of synchronization is currently supported with Entourage under the Sync Services framework, but one of these two links should send you in the right direction…
This is a link to an overview of Entourage and Sync Services:

Possible to sync zoom position between images?

Say you have a group of photos taken on a tripod from from the same position, and you want to flip through them in 100% zoom view, with the zoom at the exact same spot on each one. For example, you might be evaluating corner sharpness on a lens at different apertures.
If you open the set of images for the first time, and position the zoom box where you want it on the first one, then stepping through subsequent images will in fact zoom to the exact same spot. But Lightroom remembers where you put the zoom box on each image, so once you move the zoom view on one of them, you can never get it exactly coordinated with the others again, except by tediously trying to eyeball it.
So is there a way to coordinate the zoom position on a group of pictures? Or if not, a way to make Lightroom forget the zoom position, so you can start fresh with a new one? I suppose I could drop them from Lightroom and then re-import, but that would be a hassle to do every time I want to check a different spot.

Thanks for the quick suggestion. Compare mode is helpful, but I really find it much easier to make comparisons by flipping back and forth, rather than looking side by side.
What I always did in the past was open all the images I am comparing in photoshop, then paste them all as layers into the same document, then turn layer visibility on and off. Differences in sharpness really jump out much more clearly that way for me. I am hoping to find a simpler way of doing this by staying in Lightroom.

Is it possible to sync text messages between 2 iPhones

OK this is a long shot but I figure if you guys cant help then no one can.
Basically i have 2 iPhones, an iPhone 5s and an iPhone 6. Im a bit fussy and can't decide which i prefer to use so i sometimes swap my SIM card from one iPhone to the other. However, by doing this i never have an 'up to date' set of text/iMessages. is there any way to have the same up to date messages on both handsets so when i swap phones i have all my messages?
Cheers

You can try this:
from iMessage enable your email to receive on both devices
For SMS enable message forwarding

Can I sync & edit calendars between Mac & Lumia 92...

I'm swapping home and work computers to Apple but would like to keep my lumia 920. One important feature for me with windows is the ability to edit my calendar on any of my devices - laptop, home computer or 920 - and it automatically syncs with them all. Despite hours of surfing and Apple expert advice, I still haven't found a post telling me if it's possible to edit and sync any type of calendar between Apple and 920 without me needing a phd in computing. Can anyone help please ?
