Moving and editing slideshow between MACs

I'd like to move an existing (uncompleted) slideshow from an iMac to a Mac Book Pro and complete the project on-site (a wedding reception). What is the best technique to complete this without messing with the hours of work that have gone into the project thus far??

There's only one way to do it: Move the Library that contains the slideshow.
A Slideshow is really an instruction in the iPhoto database: "Show me Photo A for 5 seconds then cross fade to Photo B over 3 seconds and show me for 5 seconds etc etc etc"
The only way to move the slideshow +in an editable form+ is to move the database - and that database is the Library.

  • Moving OS hard drives between Macs of different makes/models

    Is it okay to move the operating system hard drive (E.g. the Boot drive) from one mac to another? What about from one model of mac (E.g. a Mac Mini) to a different model. (Mac Pro) In the PC world, this is an absolute no no due to drivers, registry issues, and other problems. However, I've spoken to a couple of mac technicians who say it's perfectly acceptable and works "flawlessly."
    The reason i'm asking is because we recently built a new boot drive for one of our Mac Pros (2010 model) using a Mac Mini (2012). The tech installed the OS and all the applications using his mac mini and then moved the hard drive to the mac pro. Now we are having a bunch of weird issues with this specific mac pro such as lock ups and other glitches. We are now wondering if perhaps the issue is related to the build process used.
    Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    I'd say only if you're really lucky, but since you're having issues, you apparently weren't.
    ...We are now wondering if perhaps the issue is related to the build process used...
    As The hatter has said, you'd need the machine-specific installer (i.e., Mac OS 10.6.4) for a 2010 Mac Pro which wasn't what was done.
    However, since it looks like you're using Lion now, if you download and install the 10.7.5 combo updater,  a good portion of the operating system will be replaced and customized for the Mac Pro. You can try that to see if the various glitches are cured. There are similar combo updaters for Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion which can accomplish pretty much the same thing.

  • Moving pages created documents between macs

    I need to move pages created documents from imac to air lap top (running new pages in Mavericks) and to ipad (running ios pages). Get message on Imac (running pages 9) that xml document missing. Moving these documents is important for writing and editing them.  I hesitate to upgrade the imac (snow leopard) to the new pages for fear I will lose all my previous documents created in pages 9.  Help!

    Thank you, I checked the IPad and sure enough I do have version 2.01 and it makes the documents unreadable in Pages 09.  It will transport them if they are made into Word documents and then they are read as Page documents in Pages09.  Unfortunately if they were not created as word processing documents in the first place, this won't work.  Is there a way to back up IOS pages to v.1.71 on my IPad and IPhone?  If not, will know that IOS will not work for documents.  You would think Apple would have not created this mess since I am surely not the only person writing documents on these devices and needing to move them around for changes and editing!!
    Thanks for your help and Peter, your comment about ICloud is also helpful.  I have never used it, was tempted, and now will not use that either.  Again, Apple getting ahead of themselves and their customers. Love them but get frustrated by them often.:--))

  • Air Drop and File Sharing Between Macs Please HELP

    I have a 2011 Mac Book Pro running Mavericks and a 2010 Mac Pro running mountain lion and I am having trouble air Dropping and file sharing between them.
    My MBP works fine. It can see other macs and share with them on my home network. My MP on the other hand cant see any other computers under the shared devices location in my finder. I have turned on file sharing for my MP as well as screen sharing. Neither works. My Mp used to be able to Air Drop and File share.
    When I try to Air Drop to my MP it wont receive the item.
    Has someone been through this before and know how to fix the issue? Ive been trying to research this for a while and haven't been able to find a solution.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks

    Are you using a frieWall on individual Macs?
    If you are using a Router you control, individual computer FireWalls are not needed.

  • Moving and editing photos on 2 computers

    I have an iMac and my husband has a MacBookPro. All photos end up (vie photostream/icloud) in the iPhoto on the iMac. However, I want to be able to use his laptop to edit photos (delete as well as tag and edit) while lounging on the couch but I want all edits to be saved on the iMac. Is this possible? I am confused by the prior posts on similar issues. We currently do home sharing if that matters,

    No it's not possible, except by using screen sharing, and that's extremely slow.

  • I'm Moving and I need a Mac Box!

    I'm moving and I'm taking my iMac DV on a plane, (It's the old kind from 1999) and I need to know how to get a box and packaging for it. Anybody have any ideas? does anyone sell boxes like that? I hope this is in the right forum...

    Ryan Stevens1...
    I think air travel for your iMac is rather risky and you should use ground shipping in my opinion. Reguardless make shure to insure it.
    In getting a box I have no problem because we have a local box and shipping company that is willing to help the average consumer. They are independent of their services so you use any shipper if you so desire. You may need to check for local area for them. (For the life of me, I cannot remember the trade names of some of those companies (Post Offices Boxes -N- More?))

  • LabVIEW 8.5.1 Student edition - differences between Mac and Windows version?

    Hi,
    I've just bought the student version of LabVIEW 8.5.1 and am using Mac OS X 10.4.11. What are the biggest differences between the Mac and Windows versions since the box came with a Mac installer CD and a Windows installer DVD?
    Cheers 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Looks like you got the LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite DVD.
    It comes with 6 toolkits, and from the product spects, some (or all?) of those are windows only (at least in 8.5), e.g.:
    Digital Filter Design Toolkit
    Modulation Toolkit
    SignalExpress
    Since you have 8.5, you are also missing a few basic things that only recevied MAC support in 8.6, such as Mathscript, Control design and Simulation, and Native 3D graphs.

  • Can I sync & edit calendars between Mac & Lumia 92...

    I'm swapping home and work computers to Apple but would like to keep my lumia 920. One important feature for me with windows is the ability to edit my calendar on any of my devices - laptop, home computer or 920 - and it automatically syncs with them all. Despite hours of surfing and Apple expert advice, I still haven't found a post telling me if it's possible to edit and sync any type of calendar between Apple and 920 without me needing a phd in computing. Can anyone help please ?

  • Sharing and commenting pics between Mac and PC

    I am looking for a software solution for this business problem. My customer needs to go thru thousands of small photos files, divide them into categories, give them rankings,  comment them. I have the original files on my Mac, I can do the same dividing, ranking, etc. So he can send me his list of comments and categories and me in return. 
    Here are the questions: What is the best software for my customer’s PC / Mac (I never know what computer my client has) to allow this exchange? I am working with Bridge because it feeds so well into Photoshop and inDesign. But I believe one cannot buy a stand alone Bridge. And even if, the problem starts already here. When I send a file I worked on in Bridge from my iMac to my MacBook, identical set-ups, only the star-ranking survives the transport. The colour category is gone and the text I put into the meta data as well.
    When I send an iPhoto file between iMac and MacBook, the stars are gone, but a comment in the meta data survived. And then there is Aperture which I haven’t tried. All very unsatisfactory.
    Thanks for your help

    I am on iMac OS 10.7.5 and the Creative Suite 5

    Yes. Accessing Mac formatted disks from Windows requires MacDrive, and writing to NTFS disks from Mac OS X requires a tool such as this one.

  • Moving and Editing in iPhoto '08

    Two features appear missing from iPhoto '08, which were present in older versions. First, I can't seem to grab and drag photos to albums when the photo is maximized. It worka fine when the photo is in thumbnail size. Second, older versions allowed me to edit photos both in iPhoto and an external program, in one instance by using the "alt" key while pressing the "edit" icon. Now, it seems the "Preferences" pane forces the user to select one editing option only. Is there a workaround to these two issues?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    First, I can't seem to grab and drag photos to albums when the photo is maximized.
    This was introduce with v7. iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    older versions allowed me to edit photos both in iPhoto and an external program, in one instance by using the "alt" key while pressing the "edit" icon.
    Never saw that one myself, but if you right (or control-click) on a pic you can select from
    Edit
    Edit in New Window
    Edit in Full Screen
    Edit in External Editor
    among other options.

  • ITunes: How can I sync my podcasts between Macs and iDevices?

    Hi,
    Using iTunes for a decade now, I still having the same problem that I don't know how to solve:
    How can I sync my podcasts subscriptions and play states between Macs and iDevices?
    I am having two MPBs and one iMac, as well as an iPhone and iPad (yes, making someone rich in California), all of them are linked to the same iTunes/Apple account, they are not in the same Wifi.
    What I would like to have that all these iTunes (plural) have the same Podcasts with the same played/unplayed states...
    Is there any way to do that now, possible with iCloud? I am completely confused now that they have introduced podcast.app for iDevices...
    Thank you for any idea for good solution!

    From what I can tell, the Podcast app should do for your iOS devices what you're describing--as long as they all use the same Apple ID. Here's an article with some helpful information about the app:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5295
    To keep your subscriptions in sync across all devices, the article says this:
    "To subscribe to a podcast on your device, tap the Subscribe button from the podcast provider's page from the Podcast catalog. Enable subscription syncing to keep your subscription up-to-date across your iOS devices. On your iOS device tap Settings > Podcasts > Sync Subscriptions > ON.
    To sync playback position, the article says this:
    "Playback Sync automatically allows you to sync your playback position to all of your iOS devices with the Podcasts app installed, using your Apple ID. In order for Playback Sync to sync your playback position, you must be signed in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID on your iOS devices."
    As for keeping playback position on your iOS devices in sync with iTunes on your Macs, you'll need iTunes 11 on all your Macs. So if you're still using iTunes 10 or earlier, you'll need to run a software update to get the latest version. Incidentally, I came across this discussion, which offers some helpful setup/troubleshooting tips about using this new podcast playback syncing feature:

  • Is it possible to sync Lightroom and LR Mobile between two desktops?

    I have an Ipad, iPhone, Mac and Windows 7 PC.  I can sync LR Mobile between the iPad, iPhone and Mac OR between the iPad, iPhone, and Windows 7, but LR will not let me sync between all four.  Whenever I open LR on my Mac after syncing with my PC, it says that I either have to switch catalogues (which then deletes all of my mobile collections) or stop syncing that machine altogether.
    It seems like it should be possible to have a catalogue on my PC and then download my collections from LR Mobile.  Can I do this?

    Is it possible to check whether this functionality is in the roadmap for LR? I would love this feature - I have LR installed on 2 Windows machines and would like to sync my photos (and edits!) between these. It may be possible using Dropbox or similar service but it feels like this should be built-in to CC.

  • What is the EFI boot option for mac, and why is my Mac having problems with it?

    I just updated my 2012 Macbook Pro to 10.9, and I am having some problems with it. I have a bootcamp partition on it and regularly awitch between mac and windows, and 2when I went to switch nack to my Mac side, It said EFI boot nstead of the regular Macintosh HD. When I choose that option, the aple logo comes up and progress bar appears. Once the progress bar finishes, the computer shuts off and doesnt do anything. When I turn it on again, it just starts the efi boot again and shuts off when it finishes. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix this. All help is extremely appreciated.

    That usually happen because the OS X partition got corrupted. Abiotu the only fix for that is to reinstall OS X and to do that you might have to completely erase the drive or repartition it as one partition. Which will wipe out the Windows side. So backup everthing you can before you start.

  • How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc?  I need to create and edit between both.

    How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc?  I need to create and edit and exchange between both types of operating systems.

    Your Windows system will not open any Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents. No applications exist for Windows that can open those formats. You will need to export your documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats, respectively, before you'll be able to view and edit the documents on your Windows system. The iWork documents can natively open Word, Excel and PP documents, though there are limitations on what can be imported (for instance, Numbers does not support all possible Excel functions). Consult the documentation for the relevant iWork application for details on importing and exporting.
    If you are asking how to get the documents from one system to the other, then there are several ways to do that, including file sharing, using an external drive (hard drive, USB flash drive), or emailing the documents to yourself. Which would be best for your situation I can't say without more details about your usage.
