Moving projects between laptop and PC

We have a server in the home where all the photo's are stored. My wife wants to be able to tag and manipulate the photo's on the server but also wants to be able to take her lap top outside of the home and show people whats she's working on.
What is the best way to do this to maintain a sync between laptop work and server work?
Does she need to move EVERYTHING off the server into her lap top then move it back when she is done working on it away from home? That seems time intensive and makes me nervous if she is rewriting over the contents on the server.
Or can she only move the current "project" however that is defined in elements to her computer and only that portion would be updated on the server when she got back home? My primary concern is that the server copy remains relatively error free and there are no mistakes that would wipe out years of photo's. Although the server has redundancy if the mistake wasnt noticed and the server ran it's backup routine I would not be able to roll back changes.
Perhaps getting her an external hard drive to carry around with a copy of all the pictures on it then having her just back up that hard drive to the server is a good answer but I don't know if there is an easier solution.
Thanks for any help,
Elements noob

There is a simple solution:
It seems to me that when your wife is showing the photos on her notebook, the tags are completely irrelevant -- it's only the photos that matter.
She can keep a copy of the photos on her notebook and show or edit them there, then simply upload any changed photos to the server.
You can use Organizer's Edit...Update thumbnails to update the display in Organizer.

  • Intel Macs & G5s: Problems when moving projects between them

    An earlier post* suggesting complete compatibility between the latest FCP in a G5 and in an Intel Mac may be in error.
    We are experiencing continuing crashes using our Intel Mac when we work on projects that were originally either imported or partially rendered in the G5.
    It has gotten to the point where we feel we must keep projects completely isolated from each other: Either it is a "G5 project" or it is an "Intel Mac" project. Moving projects back and forth between the two leads to problems such as:
    The Intel Mac does not recognize any renders done in the G5...
    The Intel Mac crashes when rendering 'G5' projects...
    The Intel mac crashes when compressor goes to work to export sequences to mpeg...
    The G5 works fine with Intel Mac-originated material: It is only in the Intel Mac where we have these problems.
    Both systems are up-to-the minute on their OS, security updates, and FCP versions. We are using variously 720p/30 from the JVC GY-100UA and 1080i/30 from the Sony Z1U.
    Our questions are:
    Is anyone else experiencing similar problems moving projects between a G5 and an Intel Mac?
    Is anyone moving projects between the two platforms and experiencing NO problems at all? That information would be just as valuable, and very welcome.
    Apple FCP development team: Is our experience unique or have you had other reports like this? Any idea what could be causing our problems -- and what we can do to fix them?

    Scott,
    Welcome to the discussions!
    I have had no problems moving my G5 projects over to my MP.
    You can not move render files between machines.
    When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Final Cut 5.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
    In the System Profiler app. under Software/Applications
    Final Cut Pro "kind" should be Universal on your MP.
    The FCP development team do not read these posts, only users do.

  • Moving Pr 5.5.2 project between PC and Mac?

    Will this work:
    I've started a project on Windows Pr 5.5.2 and would like to also work on it at the college Macs also running 5.5.2.
    On the PC my scratch files are set to: C: programes   E: Project files, media cash  G: scratch preview files.
    So can I just copy over the Pr project file, media files to an external FAT32, and then move the Pr project file to the Mac harddrive, and tell it to reconnect media to the external drive? Will it rebild the scratch preview files?

    So long as all of the Assets are < 4GB, that external should be OK. PrPro will ask you "Where is file _____ ?" but will allow you to navigate to the new location. Now, I am not sure if one can set drive letters on a Mac, but that might simplify things a bit.
    Archiving your Project with Project Manager, to that external, and then testing it, will likely be the best route, but do check the archived Project carefully.
    One consideration will be whether any PC-only Effects, or Transitions were used in the Project. There are several of each, that do not exist on the Mac. You might want to check those out. I only have a link to PrPro CS4 differences between Mac and PC, and CS 5.5 will probably be different.
    Good luck,

  • Codec missing and moving projects between different computers

    Hi,
    Im a real rookie when it comes to premiere... and i have 2 problems.
    First off i just want to know the best way to move a project between two computers... Usually when i move the folder and try open it all the links to the different movie files dont work, so i have to go through and select each one manually. There must be a way to get around this...
    Second off i have a problem with importing my mac mov (i used iMovie to move the files from the video camera, which is a Sony HDR-HC3) files into premiere on the pc, it claims the codecs are missing. I have installed quicktime on the pc and i can play the movies fine, but they wont import into premiere because of the missing codec. Why?

  • Moving Music Videos between laptop and desktop

    I have purchased 4 music videos from iTunes store. They are on my laptop. I was travelling on business and wanted to try out the new music videos.
    Now that I am home and using my Dual G5 desktop, how do I move or share these videos off my laptop top to my desktop? Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this.
    I really just started using iTunes when the video part was released, so I maybe overlooking something really easy to fix this issue.
    I have turned on iTunes music library sharing on the laptop but only audio music is shown when viewing from my iTunes desktop. No videos are listed. I event made a playlist folder on my laptop called Videos and copied the videos into this list.
    The list "Video" shows up when looking from my desktop, but no vidoes are listed in the playlist.
    thanks

    Bill,
    "Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this."
    I have the very same situation as many others do, so I've asked the very same question to an Apple Genius at the Manhattan Village Store in CA, and the answer is no. Why? You can have multiple iPods connected to a single computer, but not multiple computers connected to a single iPod. The reason for that is DRM.
    Your best bet is to keep both libraries synched using apps like "You Synchronize" or "Folder Synchroniser", this way you'll have the same library across both Macs, and you can use any one as a Master for your iPod. Works for me!

  • Moving projects between external hard drives lose clips

    Sorry for the unclear subject line, but I really can't think of a quippy way to say what the problem is.
    Short version--I moved project from external hard drive A to external hard drive B. Worked on A. Worked on B. Moved it back to A (still have copy on B). No longer works on A. Clips show up in the timeline, but on screen is white. Transitions, titles, audio don't work. Still works on B.
    Ideas?
    Long version--I'm using 10.3.9 on my old Powerbook. iMovie 6.0.3. I am using Lacie Porsche 250GB external and a Mercury Elite Pro 500 GB hard drives. When I started, the Lacie, which I was using for my speaking career videos, was NOT formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled). So, while working on another project, I had issues with the infamous Ken Burns bug with pictures.
    After consulting with the experts here (thanks Karl), I determined that I must reformat. So, pain and anguish, I moved the various movies off of the Lacie (Drive A) to the Mercury (Drive B). On both, the movies worked fine--all transitions, everything. The Mercury was and is Mac OS Extended (but NOT Journaled).
    So, I wipe the Lacie with Disk Utility so it is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Once finished, I begin the process of moving projects (3 in total) back to the Lacie. Two of the projects are completed works with transitions, audio file, titles and the like. One is just clips in the clip pane, none in the timeline. I moved them all at once.
    When I did, I checked them before I would delete them off the Mercury. When I did, both of the completed projects loaded properly--the clips do show in the timeline. But, in the preview window, all I have is a blank white screen. When I play, nothing happens.
    I have not erased anything, changed anything, thrown anything away--nothing. And, they still work perfectly on the Mercury (same computer, obviously).
    This one really has me stumped. I am really irked that iMovie has apparently become such a messed up program. Worse, this has been out for some time now (I had not used it yet, but I got iLife last year some time). I can't believe there are all these issues all this time later and obviously Apple has done nothing or little to correct these problems. I consider iMovie a real flagship program to model the ease of use and blah blah blah that we all know concerning Apple.
    OK, sorry for venting---anyone with any ideas? Did I mess up the drive when I wiped it? Is this merely the program? Something between the fact that the Mercury is NOT Journalled? Any help will, as always, be appreciated.

    Thanks David---
    The Permissions are the same for both, on both hard drives.
    I have not repaired permissions on either.
    I did shut down the computer last night and this AM, upon starting again, had the same problem.
    I did attempt a few fixes--I moved the clips from the timeline back to the preview pane. I had one clip already there and it would play perfectly. When I did that, with a clip from the timeline and then moved it back, it would show up and play. But, upon hitting the next clip, it would stop playing at the first transition.
    Some of the transitions are from a Third Party (Gee). Remember, though, they played perfectly fine from Drive B. I have not attempted, however, to put the Gee effects into iMovie 6. As I said earlier, I haven't used the program on my computer since the Fall. Now, using 6.0.3, I don't see my GeeThree effects anywhere, nor have I tried to put them in. But, from the Drive B (and originally in the drive A), the movie plays fine even though the added clips are not present for me to use in any new project.

  • How to sync Projects between Sharepoint and Project server 2010.

    Hello,
    My project is saved in SharePoint and I am trying to save and link my project from Sharepoint to Project server 2010 so that they will be saved in Sharepoint and Project Serverwill both and synced.Users can edit or update from Sharepoint
    and Project server.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Prashant
    Thanks, Prashant

    Hi Prashant,
    It is a bit unclear how you have a project in Sharepoint AND a project in Project Server 2010.
    The basic process is :
    you have EPT, associated with a Sharepoint template
    You create from Project Server 2010 (project center) a project choosing an EPT
    a project plan (mpp) will be created, editable from PWA or MS Project Pro2010
    a Sharepoint site associated with the project plan will be created, based on the EPT WSS template
    In server settings, you can sync permissions between the project plan and the sharepoint site, and also check for the url and eventually update them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Bluetooth filetransfers between laptops and other iPhones and iPods fails.

    I am really disappointed about the poor implemention Bluetooth services on the iPhone 3GS. It should act as a wireless connection method between devices supporting bluetooth.
    My laptop is Hewleth Packard NX6325. The laptop does find my iPhone, but because my iPhone seems not to support PAN (personal area network), so my iPhone reports "No connection".
    I would like to transfer files (mp3's) between my laptop and my iPhone.
    Connection with a second iPhone fails also.
    This is really a missed opportunity!

  • HT1692 Syncing calendar between laptop and iPad mini

    I can't sync my calendar between my laptop and iPad mini. I don't want to use iCloud, especially as when I tried it, all my entries were duplicated, which took up the whole calendar. Other apps will sync, but the calendars refuse. What can I do?

    YOu can sync via iTUnes and not use iCloud. When you connect your iPad to your computer  look for the 'info' tab. Then when you scroll down you should see the option to sync your calendar. Tap on that and sync and you can sync your calendar without messing with iCloud.
    Alternatively, its not quite syncing, but you can export your calendar from the calendar program, e--mail it to yourself, open that mail on your device and then save your calendar info from there.
    I've had to do it both of those ways because I export my work calendar and can't sync with my work computer, also when I upgraded to windows 8.1, iCloud wasn't compatible for about a month or two so I would have had a blank calendar for that time.

  • Share one copy between laptop and desktop Macs?

    I intend to do recording with Logic Express on location using my MacBook, then to transfer the projects to my desktop Mac with the good studio monitors and work on them at home. Do I have to buy a 2nd copy of LE8 to do this legally?

    The package showed up today, and yes, it explicitly states in the license that I can install one copy on my laptop and one on my desktop.
    I wasn't sure if the fine print differed across the Atlantic. Thanks Fox!

  • Share iMovie project between iMac and iPad?

    Is it possible to share and continue a iMovie project between a iMac and iPad?
    Or the share is only possible between iOS devices?

    In general the simplest way would be to store the document in iCloud, and use iCloud to access the document from both your iMac and iPad.
    But your post above says you're running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4).  Snow Leopard is now two years old.  I'm not sure it supports iCloud.

  • Syncing Lightroom between laptop and desktop

    I  did large, two day studio shoot last week.
    I do the majority of  my work on my desktop, and for the first time I used a laptop for this  shoot.
    I used an exteranl hard drive that I plugged into the laptop, and I kept my catalog and all my images on that external hard drive. I shot tethered directing into Lightroom. I did a little  work at the shoot, changing things in the develop module, cropping, and  adding metadata.
    Now, I'm at home, I've got my external hard  drive still plugged into my laptop, and on my  laptop I selected all my images and chose 'Save Metadata to file'  (command S) so all my changes would transfer.
    A window popped up that said 'One or more of these  photos has been changed in an external application. Should Lightroom  overwrite the Settings on disk??' I then have the option of hitting  'cancel' or 'Overwrite Settings'.
    I'm confused by this as I have  only amended these images in Lightroom. If I say 'Overwrite Settings',  will I loose information? For example, every image has been cropped, but  I would like to be able to retain access to the full image, and I'm  nervous if I hit overwrite settings I'll lose this.
    Am I being crazy?
    Ellen

    Ellen,
    This is a long-standing bug that seems to get better but never completely go away.  There is probably one or two images that LR "thinks" have been changed from somewhere outside of LR and when you select all images it is just telling you that at least one is in this state.  Unfortunately there is no way I know of to sort or automatically isolate images with potential metadata conflicts except to browse the grid display looking for conflicting icons.
    I usually select less than all (say 40 or 50 at a time) and keep saving until I isolate the image or images that is in question such that I save data to all the other images that are not in conflict first, then attack the error images one at at time.  In all cases though, I end up overwriting the data since I trust the database of LR to have stored the most correct data.  I just want to know what images were at risk so I can review them immediately after overwriting the data to make sure indeed they are alright.  I generally use a temporary quick collection to isolate them.
    The good news is I have never had a result that required me to go back in and re-develop an image.  The bad news is I still am not comfortable hitting "overwrite" after selecting all images and just letting it rip.  Hmmm ...

  • Using FF7; Syncing my data between laptop and desktop; everything syncs fine, but for the tabs. I have no history of the open tabs of the other device, nor can I find an option to let start a session the latest session of the other device

    FF7.0 beta
    sync on laptop and desktop
    no tab history of the other devices
    solution to start session with latest session of synced device?
    win 7 64bit

    Good instinct not to shut down!
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Copy all sessionstore files (e.g., sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.js) to a safe location (e.g., your Documents folder). Whatever was saved before is in one or both of those files.
    This problem of a window sometimes loading the correct number of tabs but the tabs not being navigated to the corresponding pages has been mentioned before, but I do not recall anyone identifying what causes it or how to solve it. If Firefox saved the URLs of those pages, they will be in one or both of those sessionstore files.
    These threads have suggestions on how to "mine" the old file to extract the URLs:
