Moving a book between two catalogs?

Hi all,
I have 2 machines: one is a Mac and one is Windows. Each has a copy of the photos (identical directory structure) and its own lightroom catalog.
All the individual photos/xmp are perfectly syncronized.
If I create a book on machine A, can I copy it to machine B?
How? Export as catalog without the originals/Reimport? Does it work for books?
Thanks,
MH

I have done it about a hundred times in the last few weeks, before finally
finishing and uploading my book last Tuesday.
All in all, book exporting/importing works well. Even if I have manually
edited some layout template resource files on one of the machines.
At some point, a few images were missing from the pages after import. I
couldn't figure out why, and after a few more import/export sessions the
problem resolved itself.
Also, as in any other collection, Import adds, but not removes from a
collection. So, if you have removed files froma collection on one machine,
delete the book on the other before importing.

How do I share iCal Address book between two iPhones?

I have 2 iPhone 4S and currently 1 iCloud & iTunes accts.
What I want to be able to do is share the address book, notes, iCal, reminders between the two phones so if i enter a phone #, email &/or event it is visible on both phones, imac @ home & on icloud.
Do I need an 2nd iCloud acct for her?
Also for apps, music, etc would I have to purchase twice for each phone?

Thanks so much for your detailed reply. Much appreciated!
Just to confirm my understanding that 100% clear on the solution, if my wife gets her own iCloud account, on her phone she'll receive her own emails & iMessages (makes sense) but not contacts. Calendars though we could share.
Without two separate iCloud accts though -- iCloud on my phone, and her email through Gmail on her phone -- we could share all the common iCloud data (contacts, calendar, notes, reminders, etc.) by enabling the appropriate settings on her phone.
Am I correct to conclude then that the sole benefit of her adding own iCloud acct is email through iCloud (and I guess the free 5GB)? It would not be possible to simply and easily have one common 'family' address book (i.e. since while Calendars are share-able, contact libraries are not)?

Moving application windows between two monitors in Mountain Lion

I have a Macbook Pro that sits on my desk below an external monitor that is hooked into the laptop. I use the Displays setting to arrange my external monitor on top of my laptop monitor. Unitl I install Mountain Lion, I used to be able to move windows between the two screens. Now, all application windows get stuck at the menu bar. This is not a problem if the external monitor is placed to the right, left, or the bottom of my Macbook Pro screen in the Display setting. The problem occurs only when it located above the laptop monitor. Has anyone else experience this and is there a quick fix?

Hi Jerry,
The arrangement in the displays setting does show correctly.
If I restart the laptop, it will let me move applications between the two displays but as soon as it wakes up from sleep, I can no longer move applications to the external display if it is positioned on top (it will work if it is postioned on either sides or bottom).
I did a fresh reinstall of the Mountain Lion operating system (reformatted the hard drive) but this did not fix it.

Can I Share/Sync my iCal (and Address Book) between two Macs?

I have my Address book and iCal on a MacBook.
I also have a MacMini on my desktop.
Is there some way that I import the MacBook Addresses and iCal into the Mini - AND synchronize them so that when one is changed, the other also changes?
Does this require a .Mac account or is there some way to do it just across my network?
Thanks,
--PS

You might be interested in Address Book Server (http://www.addressbookserver.com). It allows you to sync either the entire Address Book or selected groups between several macs on the same network or over the internet.

IPhoto - moving an album between two computers

Hi,
I have an album I have created in iPhoto, and want to move those selections to my other computer without having to export the pictures again. Basically hundreds of images would need to be transferred. Since the second computer has these images already, is there a way in iPhoto to export the ALBUM info, and then import into the second computer iphoto library?
Since the images are numbered, I could just handwrite them all, but that seems a lot of work.
Any ideas, much appreciated.
M

If the two libraries are identical except for that one album try copying the AlbumData.xml file from the A library with the album and use it to replace the same file in the B library. That would create the new album in the B library.
However, all events in both libraries would have to be identical. All existing albums, books, cards, slideshows, etc. in library B that were not in library A would be lost and replaced by those in library A.
Also I would make a backup copy of library B before trying this if you don't already have a backup of it.

Sharing address book between two macs

I have a powermac g4 agp and a titanium powerbook. I want to have the same contacts on both machines. How do I transfer the address book info from the powermac to the powerbook?

I went to the above message and it answered the question. I also found out that you can export vcards. You can export the entire contents of the address book and save it to the desktop then transfer that file to the address book of the other computer. Just go to edit/select all/file/export vcard. That will export all the files in the address book to wherever you want to save it. I saved to my desktop and then trasfered the saved files to my powerbook. Then you just have to import the vcards.

Moving a project between two versions of FCP- Home and College

Hope someone can help. We're editing a project on an iMac at home, and a G5 at college. Our iMac is running FCP 5, the college ones are still on FCP 4. If we open the saved files, from an external HD, that we have been working on in college, we cannot then open those files in college again. We don't have version 4 to install on our machine, and the college won't buy version 5. Is there any way artound this problem, or do we have to work on the project in sections, then assemble the final peice on the iMac? We can get advice and help in college, and we need our teacher to help us with certain sections, so we need to be able to open up the project in college too, after we've worked on it at home.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, no XML in version 4.0 - it was introduced in 4.1 (which, unlike the upgrade from 5.0.x to 5.1, is simply a download from Apple, if the school will let you update).
In terms of what version of XML you should use:
Version 1 for FCP 4.1 to 4.5 (aka FCP HD)
Version 2 for FCP 5.0.0 to FCP 5.1.1
Version 3 for FCP 5.1.2 to 5.1.4
(Version 4 for FCP 6.0)

Sharing iCal between two users

Problem: Need to know how to share calendar (and address book) between two users. We both have iphones that we'd like to sync to so we'll have 'home' calendar. It seems like it should be an easy process but so far, no luck.

Right, seems the answer is 'Not really'. You can publish an ical calendar - but that is read only.
Which is really quite terrible. Not what we expect from an apple solution.
2 adults with 2 iphones can share one life and one mac - why can't we build a shared calendar?
BUT.........
There is an alternative that isn't TOOOO hard to set up.
Google calendars will sync with ical, so if you both have gmail addresses you can create a calendar you can share in iCal.
It's a bit faffy but not too taxing
1 open your gmail and set up a calendar
2. look under My calendars/settings
/share this calendar
and add the gmail address of your sharee
select "make changes"
this means they can add to it when they accept the invitation.
3. go to the first tab and select
/calendar details
look for
/Calendar Address: ICAL
copy this address and mail it to the new user.
when they log in they can then use that ical url to add to their calendar list.
Phew...
This may not be the exact way to do it, and some steps may be superflous - but i now have a shared calendar between 2 people's ical diaries on one mac and visible on two separate iphones as a google calendar (the iphone ical however will only update when you sync)
Boo:
1. having to use googlecal to set up or edit events - iCal will treat the shared calendar as 'read only'
2. iphone ical not updating automatically - you need to use the calendar in google to see if any new dates have been added since your last sync
Yay:
1. as its google - it will ACTIVELY share any new events on your iphone - at least in the google calendar (see 2)
So - all in all, a flawed 'pc-style' workaround sticking out conspicuously in an otherwise 'apple standard' experience.
At the moment it seems google calendars are a better bet than ical - this will not do.
Apple! Deal with it please - shared calendars between users first - then you can worry about 'push' updating later.

How do i sync the books on two iPads

how do I transfre books between two ipads with a mac?

You can enable iCloud syncing on both devices, making sure hte calendar is part of the 'on' part and then what you change on one should change on the other too.

Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines

I have use of so many cloud services including the 20gb that Adobe gives me. Is there a way i can sync my catalog on the cloud so that i can have all my metadata on both my laptop and desk top? I also have 300gb of cloud storage though Copy. I would just like some recomendations on how best to go about it. Thanks

Hi Pat,
Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines
If you’re running Lightroom on a laptop during your location shoots, you might want to take all the edits, keywords, metadata, and of course the photos themselves, and add them to the Lightroom catalog on your studio computer. It’s easier than it sounds: basically, you choose which catalog to export from your laptop, then you take the folder it creates over to your studio computer and import it.
You need to decide whether you want to export a folder (all the imported photos from your shoot), or a collection (just your Picks from the shoot). In this case, we’ll go with a collection, so go to the Collections panel and click on the collection you want to merge with your main catalog back in your studio. (If you had chosen a folder, the only difference would be you’d go to the Folders panel and click on the folder from that shoot instead. Either way, all the metadata you added, and any edits you made in Lightroom, will still be transferred over to the other machine.)
Please refer to http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1930499 for more details.
Thanks!

HT1379 The USB ports on my 30" Cinema are not working. The monitor has not been used for a year or so, and the computer is a Mac Book Pro, 1012 model running OS Mavericks. I need to move the computer between two locations, and the other monitor is a 27"

The USB ports on my 30" Cinema HD display appear to not work. The monitor has not been used for almost a year, when I upgraded to a new Mac Book Pro and the 27" retina display. Now I need to move the computer back and forth between two locations using the two displays. The need for operating USB ports is essential. Any ideas. The display appears entirely normal. Am running OS X 10.9.

Disregard, problem solved.

Working and moving photos between two open libraries?

I'm not sure if it is possible, but can you work in and transfer photos between two open libraries at the same time? It is more an organizational question...i.e. I want to have some photos only appear in a particular library...

nk3:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can only have one library open at a time but with iPhoto Library Manager (in the free mode) you can transfer 20 photos at a time between libraries and keep keywords, comments, etc.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module. I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC. There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
Why does the image size change?
I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
Help!...Please?

The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
Now when exported it can be set to export at
100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
Hope that helps somewhat..

Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook.
Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this. So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up. Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
Thank you.

you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has. Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

Using the same photos and music between two user accounts in the same Mac

Hi,
I think this question might have already been asked in the forum.
1. I have one MacBook Pro and two user accounts (One for me and one for my wife)
2. We are having two seperate iPhones with seperate AppleIDs
3. We want to maintain the apps / calendar / mail / reminders / contacts as seperate - Through iCloud (Seperate Apple ID approach) - All this is fine
4. All we want to have it shared is the Music files and the Photo library without duplicating
I have tried the shared folder approach for the music and having the iTunes point to that directory for the libary location in the preferences but unfortunately if she adds a folder to the library mine does not get updated unless I do a add folder to library and vice versa.
Whats the best way to deal with the Photos / Music sharing between two user accounts on the same mac
Thanks
Shas

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.
