Please help me share my decentralized files between 2 computers!

Hi all,
So this is kind of complicated. Here's the setup:
MacBook
PowerBook
External hard drive connected to & shared via Airport
The MacBook has all my music and pictures on it. The external drive has all the videos, as well as backups of all the music and pictures from the MacBook. All content is DRM-free. The PowerBook has no content on it.
On the MacBook, I have very carefully organized libraries for all the music, videos, and pictures. All these files are stored, as originals or backups, on the external drive, so it's easy enough to see them on the PowerBook even when the MacBook isn't networked. However, I'd also like to have access to the organization of the MacBook libraries when I'm on the PowerBook. I obviously can't just copy the iTunes/iPhoto libraries from the MacBook to the PowerBook, since the MacBook library points to MacBook/Users/user/Music, and the PowerBook would need to access External/Backup/user/Music. The same would be true for the iPhoto library.
Is there any way to accomplish what I'm trying to do here?
Thanks for any and all advice!

Thank you for the iFelix link. Unfortunately, the instructions did not work. The break down happens in the step where I am asked by the Printer Utility to input the user name and password for the PC printer. Since the instructions say that the user name and password are supposed to be the same as the Windows XP log in, I assume the same holds for Vista, so I input the user name and password for the Vista computer. Then, the printer is supposed to show up in the Printer Utility window, but it doesn't. Nothing does, even though the drop-down box says "Mark-PC" (the name of the Vista machine). Any other suggestions will be much appreciated.

How to share a GB file between different computers (using dropbox).

Me and a friend are trying to share Garageband '09 files using a shared folder with dropbox. He saves a .band file and then saves it to the shared folder. After it loads on my side I open it, but it is empty. Does GB even have this capability? Can it save a file with no dependencies? I do not want to export to mp3 or other format. I am trying to share the actual GB file. I don't want to zip or archive at all. We have the space and the forum for sharing, I just need to know how to save it properly in GB, if GB even has this capability. If not, does Logic Express?

You should be able to save the file with no (external) dependencies and share the actual GB file. The .band file is actually a collection of components.
Why not Save As Archive and Zip it? It might travel better when zipped. It can be unzipped and reconstituted upon receipt.

Put the file in a folder that both users have access to, such as /Users/Shared or one user's Public folder. You may also need to change its permission settings in the Finder Info window.

I don't understand; two days ago you wrote that you have it, now you don't...?
If you don't have it, then why not deploy the current version 12.1.3.153 - I don't see the point of installing an old, unsecure software version.

Need help to share Number/Pages file visa Mail option. Cannot do with iPad Air (iOS7)

Need help to share Number/Pages file visa Mail option. Cannot do with iPad Air

Oh, okay. After selecting the format I want to send, it says "creating... ". Then irrespective of the format I choose the message e.g. "creating spreadsheet" disappears, and so does the choice window (where I earlier chose Mail). I am taken back to the Numbers (or Page) where I had started from. Diavonex's note indicated that after "creating ... " stage I should be taken to an option where I can type in email address where I want to send the file, if I want to copy it to another address etc. I cannot arrive at that page - no matter whether I am working with Pages or Number, or which format I choose for the file to share !
I will try to close as you have suggested and try. However, I have switched on and off several times by now, but nothing changed!
Will look forward to any ideas to solve this !!!
Thanks much!

I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer. What exactly is OEM. Is it a full version? Can I transfer files between different computers?

@

OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

Can i share an iPhoto library between 2 computers ???

Can i share an iPhoto library between 2 computers, it I store my library on a AS drive connected to an AirPort Extrême Base Station ?

on a AS drive
Do you mean NAS drive? No.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
Will it be wireless? That's good for viewing but...
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

How to share/transfer files between household computers?

My wife and I would like to share photos, documents, music, etc. between our computers in the home. Is there an easy way to do this using Time Machine? Is it possible to just copy & paste (or drag & drop) a file from one computer to another?
This is a simple question, I think. I just don't know how to do it. THANK YOU.

Not with Time Machine. Use File Sharing and Home Sharing. Select Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "sharing."

PLEASE HELP! iMovie and .MPG Files

Hello. Please help me. I'm on a G5. 10.5.3. iMovie 7.1.2 (577) I have a series of .MPG files that I need to import into iMovie to edit, arrange and then export over to iDVD, etc. iMovie does not see the .MPG files. The Apple site states that iMovie sees only MPEG-4 files and DV files. I also own Quicktime Pro 7.5 (149.5). When I open the .MPG file in Quicktime Pro, even though the file plays perfectly, when I select "Export to MPEG-4" so I can create a readable file by iMovie, I get an error message that say's "Failed: Export process terminated unexpectedly (10). Complete frustration. Is there another way I can convert these files so iMovie can see them? What's wrong with my Quicktime Pro? I bought DivX Pro last night. I thought maybe that program would make an iMovie readable file. No luck. I used DivX to convert and it created a DivX file with NO SOUND. Wasted money.
If anyone has any solutions for my problems noted here or possible alternatives so I can achieve what I'm trying to do successfully, PLEASE ADVISE as soon as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and THANKS, in advance, for your help.

I'm still wondering why QT Pro is failing to convert with that error message.
Well, if the video codec used in the .MPG container is MPEG2, QuickTime cannot export with a source of this format; it can only play it.
I remember reading about the reason for Apple doing this, and I forgot exactly why it is, but I think it had something to do with some legal issue. I also read that this is why Mac OS has a separate DVD Player instead of just playing DVDs right inside of QuickTime.

Share airport disk file between multiple user accounts

I am attempting to share my original airport disk file between the users on this computer. When I setup file sharing With Accounts the original file can no longer be seen.
I have an existing file, I just want other users to access that same file.
How can this be done?

As noted, this confuses the issue, since a possible answer was posted in the OTHER thread.. Check your server logs, you are probably timing out.. From prior threads with a similar issue:
Have a look at the httpd.conf file (or get your system administrator to look at it) and see what the value of TimeOut is set to. You may need to increase it in order to export large tables via APEX.

Bad news: It sounds as if you were sold a jailbroken iPhone.
Good news: File a SNAD with eBay. Make sure all your correspondence has been through eBay Messaging. The fact that the seller has been ignoring you will not sit well with them.
You will get 100% of your money back, including shipping. Paypal will simply seize his funds and return what is yours.
Lesson: Don't buy a used iPhone.
It's much worse for the seller. His PayPal and eBay accounts will be frozen. Until he squares up with both you and eBay, he's out of money and out of business.
