Is there a way of sharing a single library on multiple laptops?

Merry Christmas to me, I got a new MPB!
I got this MPB because my girlfriend hates when I wait till she comes home and pounce on her MBP to make photo albums and share them with family. She takes the photos (hundreds of them) and then loads them and edits them and gets rid of ones that we don't need to keep...that's her sacred role as the family photographer and she doesn't want me uploading the pics before she has a chance to edit...but then she just lets them sit! I take them and make prints or upload them to the web or email them for all our family.
What she wants is for me to be able to access her entire iphoto library and play around in it - share all the photos and the metadata - so if she uploads "thanksgiving" I can see the cropped and edited shots from thanksgiving. However, most of the time she is not at home, so sharing over a network won't work - we need two synced copies of the same library - or a web-based networking option.
Suggestions?
Can a library file for iphoto live on a cloud?
How do I make this work?
Thanks!

Thanks, Terence, but if she was inclined to upload things, I wouldn't need access!
Here is an example: we go on vacation, she takes 250 photos, edits twenty of the best shots, and uploads three to facebook. I want to make an album including some of the edited shots and some of the less perfect but still fun shots - so I need all 250 photos - uploading that many photos to a photosharing site takes forever even if she did it - but she won't. I used to just hijack her computer for a day, but I'd like to be able to hijack her iphoto library without stealing her computer...if possible!
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Is there a way to use a single bitmapdata for multiple images with GPU mode?

With GPU mode is there a way to bring in a single 1024 X 1024 png containing all my sprites and then slice it up into multiple display objects all refering to the original BitmapData?
I have an app that runs in GPU mode - but I want to optimize the image management.
I am making three sets of images in the orders of 2048, 1024 and 512 px.
The app is a book app and each page has around 4 to 5 bitmaps. I would like to bring in one single image and slice it up - but just refer to the original bitMapData in the memory.
Is there a way to do this - e.g. using a masking technique?
I think it is possible using textures in direct mode - but that is not an ideal solution for me - as the app is already in the appstore - and I would have to entirely refactor it for stage3D. Also I use very large bitmaps which have some masking animations applied to them dynamically: http://youtu.be/Nm0T1jLCTz8?t=42s
Currently, I use jpgs and a jpeg mask file for each image which I composite to get the alpha - then I scale them.
PNGs may be better for GPU - (no compositing) but they make for a huge app file.
Now I am converting it to use diffent sized assets depending on the device, then scaling them if need, and then compositing them for apha. What I was hoping was to find a technique that could reduce the number of bitmapdata objects used and reduce the operations in general.
Any thoughts on optimizing would be appreciated. I can add my code here if it helps.

Is there a way to break my iTunes Library into multiple libraries?

Hi,
I have a huge library...53,000 songs, 585GB of music. I'd like to use iTunes Match, so I'm wondering if there's a way to create a different library, where I could copy 25,000 songs from the "Master" library, to have iTunes Match use?
Any help appreciated,
Geoff

Check the instructions provided with the player. You may need to convert the music to MP3 first and/or locate it in the Finder.

Is there a way to add a single jar to an existing shared library (war)?

Hello,
Is there a way to add a single jar to an existing and already deployed shared library (war) in weblogic directly?
Basically, instead of building and deploying the war each time a new jar should be added to the list of jars present in the war and deploy it in weblogic, is it possible to make the process more automatic and efficient by just adding the new jar to the existing deployed war (no matter if the consumers must be reloaded)?

Extract the WAR file and rearchive with theJAR file included.

4 people in our family have an iphones or ipod on the same apple id ..so that we can all share the itunes library. however this means that we all get each others imessages. is there a way of sharing itunes library with 4 separate ids?

4 of us in the family with iphonesor ipods share the same apple id so that we can share the itunes library . However , this means we all receive each others imessages, unless we disable imessaging. Is there a way of sharing itunes library (ie.g with 4 separate ids) that avoids the sharing of imessages? .

Is there any way to delete a single occurrence from a repeating event in Calendar?

I've got an event that repeats every week...except for next week. Is there any way to delete a single occurrence, or do I just have to stop the repeating event the week before and restart it the week after?

it depends on the system load as well as the number of records that ur present request is carrying.. if the number of records are huge then obviously the time of deletion will also takes longer time...
The only way is to maintain the multiple Wp assigning to ur activity.. and thus the deletion will takes place quickly.. and this also needs to be taken into the consideration of the other loads as well..
Thanks
Hope this helps

Home Sharing, which seems to be what you're describing, needs iTunes 9 or later.

Sharing a single session among multiple portlets for single application (e.g. wInsight)

Does anyone know the best practices way for sharing a single Session for an application (running on a single Porlet server) among multiple portlets on a page?
For example, the application wInsight uses 3 frames (navigation, search results - tabular, search results - chart) which need to communicate via the application's session scope. It is not just that we do not want for a single user to be running multiple sessions, but they really do share variable parameters this way.
So far I can only think of trying to build a one true portlet and two empty containers on page load. I would use the portlet to establish the session with the Portlet server and then transfer the session information to the other two empty containers to instantiate their respective portlets. I haven't tried this yet, but will do so soon...
Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Karen,
You can easiliy create several portlets out of a Struts application. For detailed instructions, refer to the Struts section of the Portal Developer's Guide.
Good luck,
Peter

I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in. Is there a way I can tell which library I am in?

No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

Is there a way to use iCloud Photo Library WITHOUT syncing?

The idea I had of iCloud Photo Library was that I could upload my pictures to it and access them from all my devices WITHOUT having to sync them.
At the end of every month, I move all the photos from my phone to my computer. It helps me save space and keep things tidy. With iCloud Library, I want to access all my photos, but it looks like I must sync them through iCloud, and then to save space in my phone, I have to select "optimise space for iPhone". Is there any way to use iCloud Photo Library as a mere cloud storage? I don't want to keep photos on my phone, neither full resolution or "optimised" ones. I want to put them on iCloud, and when I need them, then I want my phone to download them.
I realise I could use other cloud storage providers for this, but I have always liked Apple's integration with their own services, so if possible, I would like to use iCloud Photo Library without syncing to my devices. Just keep my stuff in iCloud, and when I tap it, download it.

Doesn't work well in IE8 (9 I would think is ok), but is fine in the current version of Chrome.

Is there a way to share one music library with two seperate icloud accounts?

Is there a way to share one music library with two seperate icloud accounts? I have over 12,000 songs in my library and my son likes the same music, but recently his ipod touch is picking up the texts from my wife's and my phone? I was told the only way to stop this is by giving him his own icloud account which would mean he wouldn't have access to my music library. Any ideas?

He can still use your Apple ID for iTunes content, no issues. He just gets a separate ID for everything else.

Is there a way to send and receive SMS on multiple cellular devices without using iMessage?

I currently own a cellular iPad mini and an iPhone 4s and would like SMS to be the same on both devices as well as my desktop.
After many months of struggling with iMessage, I decided to turn it off entirely. I discovered that my best friend did not receive dozens of my texts over the span of a few months (I compared our message history side by side). Seems like it had something to do with traveling in and out of wifi zones or possibly conflicts between our two carriers, ATT and Verizon. Regardless, I am not willing to dive into iMessage fully until this gets sorted out. Further, SMS is the standard message format for everyone outside of the Apple sphere, and I do not feel comfortable lumping them together into one app. If I decide to switch to Android, will all of my contacts with iPhones continue sending me iMessages?
Thank you for your help!

Search the iTunes App Store for any 3rd party SMS apps that may be available.

Android phones don't receive iMessages, they can recieve SMS messages sent through the iOS Messages app. The app that your contacts choose to use to send you messages is completely up to them.

Your itunes library should be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
