Moving my Final Cut Pro X events and projects to portable HDD, want to access them from both my iMac and MacBook Pro.

I recently moved my video files over to a portable HDD and performed a clean Lion installation on the iMac. Instead of moving my files back, I want to keep them on the portable HDD so that I can not only access them via the iMac but also on my MacBook Pro when I'm out of the house. How do I go about setting this up?

Simple as that? Thanks, guess it wasn't at complicated as I expected.

    Movies are not stored in iCloud. However, they may be available for re-download through iTunes in the cloud if they were purchased and iTunes in the cloud is available in your country. Same applies to music.

  • TS3989 I have automatic upload etc. turned on in my iCloud and Photostream but after having just uploaded new photos from my camera to my MacBook Pro, none are getting into. My Photostream, either on my iPad, iPhones or Apple TV. Any suggestions?

    I have automatic upload etc.  activated in Photo Stream.  I just uploaded new photos from my camera to my MacBook Pro, but nothing is sowing up on my iPhones my iMacs iPad or on Apple TV.  Does anyone have. Any suggestions as to what I can. Do?  I am currently on permahold with. apple Help.
    THANKS!

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • HT5085 I have 1700 songs on my old iPad 2 that I would like to upload them to my iCloud music file so that I can access them from my iPad 4 and my iPhone 5.

    How can I load the songs out of my old iPad 2 in to the iCloud so that I can then access them from my newer iPad 4 and my iPhone 5? I have updated the iPad 2 software to the latest iOS available?

    You can only subscribe to iTunes Match, and upload your music to it, from your computer's iTunes library - you can't do it from an iPad.
    If they are iTunes purchases then you might be able to redownload them on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (and on your iPad 4 and iPhone via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store apps on them). For music that you got from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if it's no longer on your computer and you don't have it on a backup, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • TS2972 I would like to share my iTunes libraries with my Apple TV from both my iMac and Macbook Pro, but I use the same iTunes account on both devices. Is it possible to link my Apple TV to both devices at the same time?

    I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I currently have it linked to my iMac with my iTunes account. I also have a newer MacBook Pro that has some different iTunes media on it than my iMac does, but they share iTunes accounts. Is it possible to link both devices at the same time, have access to media on both computers, and use the same iTunes account on both computers?? It seems Apple TV will only link to one iTunes account per computer, but can access multiple computers if different iTunes accounts are activated on those computers.

    You can share multiple libraries with the Apple TV, they don't even need to use the same iTunes account. Just make sure that you use the same ID for homesharing on all devices.

  • How do I pull backup files (pictures) from another device to my new device, and merge multiple backups that are on the same iCloud account?  I have an iphone4 and iphone5 backup.  I want to pull photos from both into my new iPhone5

    Have multiple iPhone backups across 2 iPhones and 3 iPads.  I need to pull backup files and pictures off of backed up devices that are not my current in-use device.   How do I do that?  They are all under one apple ID.

    If you still have the devices, import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your current device.  If they are only stored in backups, the only way to access them is to restore the device to the entire backup.  Note: you can only restore photos in an iPhone backup to another iPhone, and from an iPad backup to another iPad.  If the backups are on your computer, you may be able to extract the photos from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • Accessing email from BOTH your iPhone and your MacBook

    So, two devices accessing the same POP email. I have all machines set to NOT delete messages on the server - but it seems as though some mail comes to my MacBOOk and some to my iPhone. At least it seems that the ones that do not come fully to my iPhone say that "this messages was not downloaded from the server."
    I'm certain that I haven't set something up right.
    Do I have to switch to IMAP???
    I'm using a Pro Gmail account
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    iCloud calendar are all connected.  If you deleted a calendar from one device, it would erase it across all devices. Do you use time machine?? 

  • How come clients have to return to the original machine to access their photos and files? Why can't they access them from any client?

    When students login & upload images onto a client, they have to return to that same client. They cannot see their images if they log into another client the next day.
    Currently, I created uses as Local only on a server dns of ---- .server.private. via the "internet" not VPN. (as advised by a Apple Rep phone call).
    Do I change it to server HD? When I tried "Users" , they could not log into any client.
    Is it a permission issue on the client?  
    Are they pictures stored on the Client HD or the Server HD under users home folders? When I had Snowleopard, I could create folders outside their homes and see them on the server HD. Now I cannot see any folder created "ouside" the main Doc or Pictures Folder on the SERVER HD. They can, when they log into the same client each day.
    Advice?

    From what westhighphoto said "When I had Snowleopard, I could create folders outside their homes and see them on the server HD" it sounds like users have been saving files outside their home directory. In that case it does not matter whether they are using full-blown Network Home Directories or Portable Home Directories (with syncing) the files will not be copied back to the server.
    The users should be saving the photos inside the Photos folder inside their home directory. These will then be saved on to the server.
    Note: iPhoto if still being used should default to this.

  • Can I save files from my pc onto iCloud and access them from my iPhone?

    Hi, I'm new to iCloud. Just set it up on my iPhone and PC. Can I save files on my pc onto iCloud so I can access them from both my iPhone and PC?

    StoneMountainGirl,
    No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time.  If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

  • How to access same Artist Lessons on both my iMac and MBP

    I can access Garageband on both my iMac and my MBP but when I try to access the artist lessons on either, I cannot download any lesson that's not on the other.

    You "access" GarageBand, the artist lesson or any other apps or files because they are "installed" on a specific machine.
    You have installed GarageBand on both machine but it seems that you have not installed (downloaded) all the lessons on both machines.
    On whatever machine you want to use the artist lessons you have to open GarageBand and download the lessons on that machine. GarageBand stores those files in a specific location. You can actually check if they are there. They are in the system Library. Here is the path:
    Hope that helps

  • Transfer calendar and contacts from iPhone to iMac and Mobileme

    Hello
    I know this question is touched upon regularly, but I am overwhelmed by the richness of the information!
    The address book and calendar on my iPhone are complete and up to date. I want to transfer them to my new iMac and and to my MobileMe account, replacing (or adding to) the incomplete subsets on these. Can some kind person explain in noddy terms what I do? I am confused whether my starting point should be iTunes, settings on the iPhone or preferences on MobileMe.
    Once all three places have the same information, I hope to keep the three in sync - if I can work out how.
    thanks in advance

    Hi
    After much struggling the problem has been solved. Although the solution did not come from this list, I thought I would tell you what I did, in case it helps someone else in the same situation.
    I think the two things which helped were:
    - deleting all entries from the Mac and MobileMe
    - creating a new MobileMe account on the iPhone settings (it was exactly the same as the old one, but, who knows...)

    FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.
    but which one..
    due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
    my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
    (example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
    for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
    Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
    .. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
    if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

  • I'm finally moving my photos from my PC to my MacBook Pro.  I have 8 years worth of photos organized into very specific albums.  Can I import the album structure directly into iPhoto or am I going to have to recreate everything in iPhoto?

    I'm finally moving my photos from my PC to my MacBook Pro.  I have 8 years worth of photos organized into very specific albums.  Can I import the album structure directly into iPhoto or am I going to have to recreate everything in iPhoto?

    If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
    Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
    You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
    However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
    If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.
