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..

  • 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.

  • Syncing play counts between two computers

    Is it possible to sync play counts (and other settings such as favorites, playlists, backups, etc) between two computers?
    I purchased a new computer for school, but I am interested in continuing to use my old one as well.  The old one is where my info is accumulated of course, but I would like to add my counts, playlists, ratings etc. from my old computer onto the new one, and hopefully sync them between each other as well.
    As unnecessary as this sounds, I am wondering if it is possible and how it can be achieved.  Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    iOS devices sync to one computer.
    It is not possible (at least not easily) to sync to multiple computers.
    What you can do is copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the existing computer to the new computer.  Then everything in iTunes on the new computer will be exactly as it was on the old computer.
    There is no syncing, at least not within iTunes.
    Other programs do exists that will allow you to sync specific folders between multiple computers.

  • Can I sync IPhoto albums between two computers via ICloud?

    I have some pictures on my MacBook Pro, and some on my desktop.  Other than offloading to a hard drive and trying to duplicate the two drives, is there a way to create albums and have them show up on both computers via the cloud??

    No you cannot sync an iPhoto library between two macs. If you do you will corrupt the iPhoto Library file. iPhoto is a consumer level app, and this feature is not supported.
    What you can do is share the photos but not the library. Each machine will need to have it's own library file.
    The easiest way to do it this is to enable sharing (in the iPhoto Preferences) on both machines (one sharing the library, the other looking for the share). When you do this the shared library will appear in the Source (or left-hand) pane and pics can be dragged from that to the library in the other machine.

  • Sync purchased content between two computers

    Is there an easy way to sync the purchased content between 2 computers. I have a MacBookPro that I travel with, and I buy music and videos to travel. Desktop has all of my music, how do I get the purchased content to show in the purchased tab of my desktops itunes.

    Hey there!
    You can sync your items from one computer to the other by going to System Preferences > .Mac > and from then do all the processing involved that the Mac tells you to do.
    You can select some specific data to sync to your other computer (if for some reason you did not want your computers to share the same data). For your music to sync, check "Music" in the list of sync-able data (with the green old version of the iTunes logo).
    Once you have completed everything, go to your other computer and allow your music to transfer. Just remember that you can only do that sync-allow process with five other computers, it's a rule.
    Hoped I helped!

  • 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.

  • 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". 

  • 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?

  • Possible to merge email in Entourage between two computers?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to merge or sync up emails between two computers using Entourage? I have Office 2004 on one laptop, and Office 2008 in another. I would like them to have pretty much the same emails in my Entourage folders. Is this possible? Thanks for any advice you can give.
    Giles

    Are you using the same email accounts on both computers? Are they IMAP, or do you have the option of using IMAP? If so, you can keep them in sync through the IMAP scheme.
    Alternatively, you can export your email from one Entourage and import it into the other.
    Entourage will use Sync Services to sync contacts, events and notes with the Apple equivalents, so if you have MobileMe, or use another Mac-to-Mac sync program, you can enable this feature - however, it doesn't work for email messages.

  • Sync Mail between two computers

    After Leopard upgrade, I switched from Entourage to Mail.app, so I'm new to it.
    I use two Macs and POP accounts. How can I sync Mail.app between two computers in Leopard? The Sync Service of Smart Folders is not enough for me.
    May I use a sync app like Folders Synchrnonizer?
    Thanks
    Stefano

    Both my wife and I have multiple macs and work at home and on the road - we've tried all sorts, and there are 3 approaches that work:
    1) IMAP
    I know you think this isn't the ideal solution for you, but it is unbelievably simple and rock solid once you get it working.
    Set your POP mail addresses to forward all mail to your IMAP address (I use .mac which is brilliant, I don't know about Gmail).
    Your mail is server based, so your laptop, desktop, iPhone, webmail from a PC etc. are all always in sync.
    You will still get your mail from your old accounts.
    You can set rules on any of your machines to filter your mail into folders according to which address they were originally sent to.
    HOWEVER the mail you SEND will be FROM your IMAP address, so your clients / friends may get confused if you don't want them to use your IMAP address as your main address.
    2)
    Leave POP mail on the server.
    In Mail preferences, highlight your POP account and click on the "Advanced" tab.
    Select "Remove mail from server" to a 1 day if you come home each night.
    If you are away for longer, make it 1 week or Never.
    This way, if you download mail on your Laptop, when you get home that evening, your desktop will download the same mail again, as it has been left on the server.
    It's sort of fake IMAP.
    The downside is you can end up with a full mailbox at the server very quickly as you are now leaving messages on it, and you may have to empty the server yourself sometimes (in the same menu you just adjusted).
    Also, if you are away from your laptop too long, you may download and later delete-from-the-server messages on your desktop, leaving your laptop out of date.
    Use Mac Sync to keep your rules, mailboxes and preferences synced up.
    This is the way it's designed to work, so it should work fine.
    3)
    Drag the Mail folder.
    Assuming you're only using one Mac at any one time, you simply move the main mail folder to whichever machine is current.
    Quit Mail on both machines.
    On your target mac, go to youruserfolder/Library and rename the "Mail" folder to something else like "Mail Old". This is just so you have a backup.
    On your source mac, go to youruserfolder/Library and copy that entire folder (not just the mailboxes) either to a drive to transfer to your target mac, or straight to it if you have it networked.
    When you start up mail you will find the messages, folders, mailboxes etc. are the same as they were on your source mac.
    Now you use your target mac (say your laptop) for a while.
    When you are going back to your original source mac (e.g. your desktop), you now repeat the process in the other direction, replacing your desktop's mail folder with your newer laptop's version.
    It's really important you use one mac at a time and swap the folder each time you switch.
    If you rename the previous version before you overwrite it, you know you have a backup if things get out of sync.
    It works really well if you only take the laptop out occassionally, or if you use it exclusively for days at a time (i.e you go away) and you only need to do the transfer every so often.
    Also, it helps if you don't have thousands of emails - if your Mail folder is under half a gig, you can do this quickly using a USB keyring or similar. Any bigger and the transfer can get a bit slow.
    I use option 1, and felt it was worth changing my email address for.
    My wife uses option 2 when she is using her laptop in the day and she can run her desktop each evening the download the mail left on the server.
    But she sometimes gets trouble with her popmail server filling up (she gets lots of video and audio attachments) so if she's going away or not planning to use her desktop in the evenings, she reverts to option 3 and removes messages from the server "right away", updating her desktop's mail folder at the end of the week and just using her laptop until then.
    Good luck!

  • Codec missing and moving projects between different computers

    Hi,
    Im a real rookie when it comes to premiere... and i have 2 problems.
    First off i just want to know the best way to move a project between two computers... Usually when i move the folder and try open it all the links to the different movie files dont work, so i have to go through and select each one manually. There must be a way to get around this...
    Second off i have a problem with importing my mac mov (i used iMovie to move the files from the video camera, which is a Sony HDR-HC3) files into premiere on the pc, it claims the codecs are missing. I have installed quicktime on the pc and i can play the movies fine, but they wont import into premiere because of the missing codec. Why?

    FAQ:How do I transfer a project from one computer to another?

  • Sharing a project between two Macs?

    Is it possible to share an un-finished iMovie project between two different Macs?
    And if yes, how?
    And is it possible to share an iMovie 08' project with an iMovie 09' project?
    Thank you for your help :'D

    Hi
    I think an intermediat external hard disk
    • FireWire
    • Mac OS Extended formatted (MUST BE)
    Storing material and project on this should make it "Share-ably" but not
    in same time of-course. One at a time.
    and
    • iMovie'09 on both Macs (I would go for exactly same version no. and same regarding
    QuickTime and it's version no.)
    (Heart of iLife and FinalCut it's the real motor doing the job. iMovie is just an interface to it.)

  • 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

  • TS2972 is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?

    My wife and I have itunes accounts and want to be able to share music we have each bought on our accounts. We have tried setting up the home sharing on our PC but it doesn't show up on the screen. Can anyone please help?

    "Is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?"
    No. Home sharing is used to connect two running instances of iTunes across a network. When you switch users on the computer all applications running on the other profile are suspended.
    You can however share your respective media folders so that they are visible in either profile and then copy over any content that you want, or you could create a single joint library which you use when either user is logged in.
