Missing files using the same library on two different macs and other minor problems

Hi everybody,
I'm working on a long documentary and I'm new to FCPX (coming from Avid NC and Edius)...I have and external HD where I stored all the media I'm working with (about 1/2T - 1000 clips)...The library (about 100gb) is stored on the internal drive of my iMac and into the iCloud.
Yesterday, I received my new MacBook and today I tried to work on it. I followed this steps: I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with, I put it on the same folder (movies) it was stored on my iMac and I connected my external HD with all the media...Results? All the clips where gone and the red missing file warning was all over the place.
FIRST QUESTION: How can I work on both computer overcoming this missing files problem? I know I should have put the library on the same external drive but It was a move aiming to
SUB QUESTION 1:
I went back to my iMac and everything worked fine except for a warning about one of my events (the exclamation point) as you can see from this pic:
I tried to relink the file...but no files to be linked popped up in the relink file window....HOW CAN I KNOW what's wrong in that event in order to fix it?
SUB QUESTION 2:
I checked the Library info and - as you can see in the pic below - there are 43mb of media in my internal HD...is this maybe the problem preventing me from working on different macs? I tried to consolidate everything to the external HD but still the 43mb thing persist in being on the internal HD. How can I find where exactly it is located? How can I move it to the external HD given that the consolidate option isn't working?
Thank you in advance for your help
Nico

1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.

  • How can i use the same id on two different laptops?

    When trying to use the same login on two different laptops so that i can connect my nook to either depending on which one is free, i get the error that the id is already in use on another computer?

    The issue is embedded in the way the software works.  To comply with the
    Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 2000, all software companies in this
    business keep track of where their software is installed, making
    information about the computer and ereaders part of an ID file.  So, your
    user ID is embedded in the ID file of each computer, but each computer has
    a different ID of its own that is also embedded in that file.  Adobe's
    master server (yes, there is one that you connect to even if you didn't
    know it) also has that information, and when you try to use an ID on one
    that's embedded in the file of another, Adobe's server blows the whistle,
    and as you can see, you can't do that....

    Yes.  Technically there will not be any conflict as long as the private addresses used by the 2 clusters do not collide, and provided that the switch's port capacity and bandwidth will not be exceeded.
    Your NA (netadmin) can also configure the switch to separate the 2 Interconnects from one another (called partitioning when using Infiniband) - if the switch supports such features.
    A major consideration is not to make the switch, public. That typically cause a range of problems and can have a serious impact on an Interconnect. But using 2 private networks on the same infrastructure should not have the same problems - if configured and implemented correctly.

  • Can two people use the same computer with two different ipods?

    I was just wondering if me and my mother can use the same computer with our ipods?

    Glad you asked. Before you get rid of the old one move its iTunes Library to the new one:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    "Deauthorize" the old computer too. Go to the iTunes Store menu and select "Deauthorize This Computer..."
    I hope you get a Mac this time

  • How can I get iCloud to use the same Apple ID on my Mac and iOS devices

    I have an Apple ID that syncs between my iPhone and iPad. The Apple ID on my Mac is different and I cannot change it so it uses the same Apple ID and iCloud account.

    Sign out of the Apple ID on your Mac and sign in to the one you want to use. Go to System Preferences>iCloud>Sign Out
    Then sign in to the Apple ID you use with your iPhone and iPad.

  • Duplication of Entry when we use the same view in two different components.

    Dear Experts,
    We have created a z table in Activity Screen (component: ORDERADM_H)
    and
    later on we have reused the same table on Lead screen (component:
    BT108H_LEA) as required by Business.
    To reuse the table- I did the following steps
    1. Used AET Web UI configuration tool ->Display Enhancemens
    2. Selected the z table I want to Reuse
    3. Under -> Reuse in Object tab, selected, Lead and checked the box
    and finally generated/activated the table.
    4. Went to Lead AET configuration screen, AET table appeared into
    available assignment block and moved to it displayed assignment block
    The problem is for Lead transaction, system is creating duplicate
    records
    when I have populated values on both Lead and as well as follow up
    Activity transactions.
    When I save both the Lead and follow up Activity and I log out and
    login
    back into Lead screen, I see two duplicate records as follows:-
    OPT1, Option 1
    OPT2, Option 2
    We have not written any custom code for this requirement and we believe
    there is a bug in SAP standard. Please refer to screenshots attached.
    How can i avoid duplication issue with the component workbench.
    points for quick and help full answer.

    Hariharan.

    Dear Nariharan,
    Today I faced a simlar issue, and this SAP Note helped me fix it: 1966807 - Duplication of AET table records in change processing
    In my case, cardinality of AET table was 1:1, and I was getting duplicate PARENT_ID every time when trying to create a subsequent service request for my activity.

  • HT204053 How do I use the same email for two different apple IDs?

    I have inadvertently created two different Apple IDs throughout the years but now need my most recent one to use my email, but still want access to my old apple ID (if I can find it). The old apple ID has priority (the new one is not allowed to verify my email as it is linked to my old ID) with that email - can someone help me have the two IDs linked to the same email?
    Thank you

    AFAIK this is Not Possible. Each ID requires a Unique address

  • Can I have the same library on two different computers

    I have my iTunes library on a external drive linked to my work computer. Can I link it to my home computer too?

  • Working on the same site on two different macs?

    is it possible to work on my iWeb site from my desktop on my laptop?

    Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
    I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). http://iweb.varkgirl.com

  • Can several members of a household use the same library with different log ins

    Once you have downloaded the latest version of iTunes to a computer, can different members of the same family use the same library but with different log ins or do you need different computers?

    exactly:) you first gotta transfer the apps from your devices by connecting them and going to file and "transfer purchases" and it should bring the apps over
    PS: do make sure that the computer is authorized for all of the purchases do this
    -go to store at the very top of the page (usually up there with file,edit,view,and controls)
    -choose authorize this computer
    -enter the email address and password associated with the purchases you are transferring and hit authorize!!
    -quick transfer and done, you guys can share whatver you transfer to the library
    hope this helps:)

  • HT2498 If I use camera window to download my pictures to my computer, and then I copy and paste the pictures to iPhoto. Would I be ending up having the same pictures in two different files in my computer, and so wasting space in my hard drive?

    I recently bought a canon camera. The instructions of the camara recommend to use the canon software (camara window) to download pictures to my computer.  I would like to have my pictures in i-photo because it syncs them to my ipad.
    I want to download the pictures from my camera to camara window, and then drag and drop the pictures to i-photo. If I keep my pictures in both programs would I be wasting space in my computer hard drive by having the same pictures in two different files?

    Yes.
    Ignore the Canon software. It gains you nothing and adds complexity. Just use iPhoto for the lot.

  • How To Use The Same Library - MacBook Pro's And Windows XP Pro?

    Background:  I have a fully configured MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.3. Also, I run Windows XP Pro SP3 using Parallels Desktop. My primary iTunes Library and all content is stored on an external hard disk and the iTunes is "pointed" to that location by setting the iTunes' Preferences' Advanced Settings to the full path where the Library is located. Everything I have inside iTunes works perfect - the size if the Library is over 225GB!
    BUT, when I install and use iTunes on my Windows XP Pro operating system (under Parallels), the contents of the Library SEEMS to work okay (while I'm in Windows) but the Windows' iTunes Library location in Preferences' Advance Tab is NOT THE SAME LOCATION AS IS THE MAC's LIBRARY LOCATION! It is not at the same location as my main/primary iTunes Library is "pointed to".
    The problem occurs when I close Windows and return to the Mac OS X and then try to use my primary iTunes. All of the contents (and any content) within iTunes no longer work! When I attempt to play ANY song, movie, TV show, music video, audiobook, etc., a message pops up saying in effect "Location of 'x' can't be found, do you want to locate it?" I can then click 'yes' and navigate to the Library file that contains the song's file and it will then play fine, as it should. BUT, ONLY THAT SINGLE SONG WILL WORK - THE REMAINING 225GB STILL DON'T WORK!!!
    So, I am forced to go into iTunes' Preferences' Advanced tab and click on "Change Location" then navigate to the proper library file (NOTE, THE LOCATION HAD BEEN CHANGED TO THE LOCATION FOR THE WINDOWS' LIBRARY LOCATION!!!)! Doing this corrects the primary iTunes functionality, but only after being forced to deleting the "iTunes Media Folder", quit iTunes, restart iTunes and Consolidate the Library - a whole bunch of steps and time to get back to "normal"!!!!!
    Again, this all happens by going into Windows, opening its iTunes, then THAT triggers the entire scenario I've described above - EVERY TIME!
    Thus, I avoid iTunes when I go into Windows, but I should NOT have to avoid using iTunes inside Windows! I hope I have described the problem/issues well enough that someone of you experts can provide a practical solution for me.
    A potential remedy I've thought of is:  Go into Windows' iTunes then go into its Preferences' Advance tab and change ITS location to be the exact same location as the primary Mac OS X's, click OK, then immediately close that iTunes.
              DOES THIS SOUND LIKE IT WILL WORK - I.e., USING THE EXACT SAME LIBRARY LOCATION FOR BOTH iTUNES?????
              IF THIS WOULD WORK, WHAT ELSE MUST I DO TO EITHER iTUNES OR TO BOTH iTUNES TO USE BOTH iTUNES
              USING THE SAME LIBRARY???
    Thank you for any suggested solutions - VERY MUCH!

    Note that sharing a folder between different OS that use different file paths is not recommended as some files can have an absolute path or other OS specific data.
    You can click the Choose Folder button if you want to create or use a folder in a different location.<br />
    Make sure to select an empty folder (you need to create this folder in advance) and not a folder that already has files as Firefox will use the specified location in this case.

  • Load multiple files using the same data load location

    has anybody tried loading multiple files using the same load locations. I need to do this as the data in these multiple files will need to be exported from FDM as a single export file. the problem i am facing is more user related. since these files will be received at different points of time, users will need a way to tell them what has been loaded and what is yet to be loaded.
    is it possible to throw a window on the web broser with OK and Cancel buttons from an event script?
    any pointers to possible solutions will be helpful

    was able to resolve this. the implementation method is as follows
    take a back up of previously imported data in the befcleardata event script. then in the beffileimport event append the data to the import file. there are many other intricacies but this is the broad implementation logic. it allowed my users to load multiple files without worrying about append or replace import type choices
