Library editable from two computers

I have a desktop and a laptop running on a wireless network. Currently, I have the itunes shared library setup on my desktop. Is there anyway I can have the ability to edit the library from my laptop as well?

Editing from two computers

I have an iMac at home that I have been editing and publishing a site from iWeb to .Mac. I now have a macbook and would like to work on pages or blogs with that computer also. I vaguely understand the issue now with the files stored on my iMac and editing and publishing from there.
If I were to store the files say on my iDisk, could I access them from both computers, edit and publish from both, and keep them in sync?
Is there another/better method of doing this without actually moving the files from one computer to the other?
(obviously, one option might be using Back to My Mac, but I would like to work locally if possible)

You can store the domain file on your iDisk.
But you have to double-click it to open it. Otherwise iWeb won't find it .
Depending on the size of the file, expect slow updates. And be prepared that when you loose connection, your file may be damaged.
But that isn't really an iWeb issue. It applies to all files you edit over a connection.
All the if suggestions you can easily find out by doing it.

Can users have one iTunes library deriving from two drives?

Hi everyone,
I keep my 4 & 5 star songs on my C drive and the rest (all stars, 1,2 3, etc.) on my exhternal hard drive.
Whenever I want to listen to my music, all I can readily play are the tunes on my C drive.
I'm guessing the issues having one library for tunes stored on separate drives is insurmountable?
I say that because I'm guessing that my iPod (4th gen) is only capable of importing from one library?
I think the biggest issue is either I don't know how to (or maybe users can't) list a second drive so that iTunes can load all songs from both drives whenever I do have the second drive up and running.
Adding to the second drive library issue, I can't figure out how to permanently tag my external HD's (I've got 6) so that their drive letter is not automatically defaulting to their order of prescence.
I can deal with that issue by simply not opening iTunes while I the second drive has been assigned a drive letter other than what iTunes (hopefully) is set to (i.e.; hopefully C and F drives).
But can users have one iTunes library deriving from two drives?

Seems I've over come what is something I'd hoped/expected iTunes would be capable of (ie; reinitiating the pathway for external HD music files when their drive letter is the only thing that changed).
I tried the obvious by going to iTunes's Edit>Preferences>Advanced and clicking the change button for "iTunes Music folder location", then entered the current drive and pathway (as the drive is currently assigned, F as opposed to the original G) and of course iTunes still couldn;t find the missing tunes.
Giving up on the hope that iTunes was designed smarter than it is (ie; each and every single missing tune req's manual redirection of pathway, as opposed to a preferable tick box for something like 'use the last redirected pathway').
And I finally figured out how to properly changed drive letter assignments, but still uncertasin if that means permanently tags my EHD's with that drive letter.
For that to be permanent, maybe I need to name each drive regardless that Windows already has unique inforamtion on each HD. Suppose I'll soon find out if the drive at this point has fianlly stored its drive name and whether or not Windows will contiue to change the EHD drive letters simply by the order which I am introducing them to the os.
No real luck with rats nest USB hubs as they crash my os alot, so I'm left to trying to find an easy way of managing the EHD drive assignments. THe following is the closest I've yet to come to doing that:
Click Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management, and then in the left pane, under Storage, click Disk Management.
Right-click the drive, partition, logical drive, or volume for which you want to assign a drive letter, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Click Change.
Click Assign the following drive letter (if it is not already selected), click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.
Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the drive letter change.
Again, too bad iTunes doesn't afford a 'find' feature for 'missing' files such that one might be afforded a tick box for 'do not prompt again, instead use the last indicated location for "iTunes Music" folder as the base storage location'.
This drive renaming thing is a real hassle. Not like somebody couldn't have guessed it and Windows and/or iTunes can't afford some script, etc. to better manage 'tagging' EHD's and/or re-locating 'missing' tunes.
But then what would we have to complain about, not that they listen anyway.

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?

Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?
I have a catalog with 7000 images we have to process / crop / etc. and I was trying to find a way that two of us could work on the images at the same time.
Thanks!

No, the LR catalog is not multi user capable (and cannot reside on a network share without tricks). What you could do is
export part of the catalog (a subset of all images) into a separate catalog ("Export as Catalog", without exporting the negatives)
work on different images in the two catalogs at the same time
re-import ("Import from Catalog") the exported work after adjustments on it is finished

When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

When setting up sync how does sync manage information from two computers? Does it merge the information?

Hi!
Yes, the way Sync works is that it puts all the Bookmarks together and pushes them to all your devices. Same with History.
You will not loose any information in any of your computers.

[HELP] I use Skype from two computers and i notice...

Sorry for reposting this topic, but it didn't appear on the forum.
Hey there.
I use skype from two computers.
Last week i blocked a contanct from computer1 and yesterday i unblocked it from the same computer.
So i noticed that after i unblocked this contact, it still appears at my homepage with his picture, info and everything, BUT only from computer1.
When i use computer2, this contact appears at my contacts, but only with his skype name (the one he uses to log in) and not with his display name. Also, i can't see his picture or any other information. It just appears offline, with his log-in name and with no picture. That's all.
So what's going on? Why can i see everything normally from computer1 but not from computer2?
P.S.1 99% he blocked me too, but i have no idea whether he unblocked me or not.
P.S.2 I know my english is horrible, sorry for that.

Working from two computers

How do folks work from two computers? I use an MBA on the road and out of the office and an iMac at home. Is there a way to sync my site on both computers? Or to download changes to my site onto the other computer? I haven't seen an obvious method for managing the site and keeping it on both computers.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Aaron ~ I haven't used Dropbox, but it offers file syncing and gives you 2GB of storage free. The problem is that iWeb's Domain file is a single unit, so that even if you change just one character on your iWeb site, the whole Domain file will be re-synced — not just the changed page.

Can I put an aperture library on a network drive and edit from multiple computers?

I have an Imac desktop and a macbook pro. I want to be able to edit pictures from multiple computers. If I simply put the aperture library on a network server drive in my home, can I edit the same aperture library from both the Imac and the macbook? Rather than always having to sit in my office making changes to files I would love to also be able to do this with my laptop sitting ont the couch or in the kitchen. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Get yourself a small portable external drive for your Aperture library.
An Aperture library needs to be on directly connected drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). network access is not supported and can lead to data loss and library corruption.
See Apple's support document: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library

How Can I Combine Podcasts from Two Computers Into One ?

I download podcasts on two computers - my home PC and my work/travel laptop. My IPod syncs to my home PC. What I would like to be able to do is transfer all the podcasts I have downloaded from my laptop to my home PC (as my internet speed at home isn't great), then sync it all to my IPod. Is this possible ?

Well it works.....sometimes. It works OK with audio podcasts, but not with *.mov video podcasts. It DOES work with *.M4V video podcasts. I found this out by trying to add all the Tiki Bar TV files, and only the Boomerang episode transferred OK.
The strange thing is this - while the *.MOV vpodcasts don't show up in the Podcast window in ITunes, they DO transfer over and show up in Library>Genre 'Podcasts'>. How can I force them to appear in the Podcasts window ?
Cheers

Editing on two computers with Premiere

I have two copies of premiere elements. One on IMac and one on Macbook. Video files on external drive. I want to be able to edit same project on both. I originally started the project on macbook but IMac doesn't see the exsisting project. Can I do this? thanks for the help

As long as you have your +source media files+ (video clips, audio files, stills, etc.) and your +FCE Project file+ on your external drive, you will be able to switch from one computer to the other for editing. Just make sure you are using the exact same version of FCE on both computers. And it will certainly help if you specify the same FCE scratch disk location (ie, your external drive) on both computers.
As for +render files+ and +cache files,+ forget about trying to use them on two computers. When you move from one computer to the other, they are unlikely to be usable. Trash them and plan to re-render when you switch from one computer to the other.

How to have the library updated between two computers?

I have two computers. One is running Windows XP(always on) with iTunes and the whole library in it. I share this iTune library wirelessly so that my MacBook Pro can access it. The problem is - whenever I update my library from one of this computers, it's not updated while accessing from another. Is there a script or something to help me with this problem?
Thanks.

if you want to try this

Almost perfect, except that this method limits me to have one iTune runnning at a time. My Windows XP's iTune is always on, always running, serving as a streaming source for my Apple TV. My MacBook Pro shares its iTune Library and uses with Airport Express in another room. I almost never do anything on my Windows PC, so I'd like to manage all the stuff from MBP.

Administrating iTunes Library by from multiple computers pc/osx

Hello.
I need to find a way to administrate same Library from multiple computers. What I need is a opportunity not only to listen my media (that's why original iTunes sharing suit me), but to Add, organize, create playlists e.t.c.
I want my Playlists be available and editable ( ! ) for all my computers.
I want to add music from any of my computers and to have all the rest app to date.
All the data will be stored on a Server computer. So what the OS is needed for the solution?
In addition I have both PC and OSX computers at home and It'll be bettor if the solution will suit this.
Thanks.

iTunes doesn't support this much syncing. Yes you can have all machines saving media files to same location (server) but each machine/account will have different iTunes libraries. Changes made on on will not be reflected on others. This is intentional so that different people would not interfere with libraries of other users.
This is especially needed for podcasts. Each account downloads/deletes podcast episodes independent of other accounts. This allows one to delete an episode without making making another account lose the file.

How to import songs onto iPod from two computers?

this probably was posted before, but is there anyway to upload songs from two different computers?
i have songs on my mom's computer that i dont have on my dads.

Try turning off auto-update. Right click your iPod, and go to iPod Options. Under music, click 'manually manage songs and playlist.' It should work after that. You will probabl have to do it on both computers.

Can I swap the CS2 registration numbers from two computers?

Is there a way to swap two CS2 registration numbers on two computers without reinstalling the whole lot? Thanks!
Paul

I'm not so sure it can't be done. I don't remember the way CS2 worked
but once you deactivate you may be prompted to remove the serial number
from the machine. Go ahead and do that for both and then reactivate
entering the correct serial number on the opposite machines.
