Problem possibly with actionListener

Hello,
I am developing a GUI appplication with Java 1.4.2 and Netbeans 5. I have created a jtree whose status changes from visible to invisible. The first time that it is visible it works correctly, the second time (after making it invisible and again visible) it doesn't work at all!!I guess that the problem is related with the actionListener. Do you have any idea how can i solve it?
Thank you.

Try using CardLayout.
or add the JTree to a panel, and make the panel visible/invisible.

Problem is with my iPhoto on my Macbook air. I am trying to move my library from my airbag onto my passport drive. I did it and deleted it from the airbag but it simply re appeared possibly from the cloud. Not sure what to do next.

Sorry - we can not see you
what do you have? Version of iPhoto? Of the OS? How is the passport connected to your Mac? What format is the passport (for the iphoto library it must be Mac OS extended (journaled) )? The iPhoto library is not and can not be on the cloud (maybe later with the Photos Application)

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

Solution to problems synchronizing with Mercedes C...

Warning: this is long but worths reading if you have trouble synchronizing your Nokia's phone book/addressbook with COMAND APS.
I have spent hours looking on Mercedes and Nokia forums for my problem and did not find a posted solution. I have now found a solution myself so I decided to post here hoping it will help other people.
First my issue: I have an E-Class W211 (Apr 2005, UK) with phone pre-wiring, the Mercedes SAP v2 cradle and a Nokia E61i (S60 3rd edition). Till about a week ago the whole was working perfectly: was able to make/receive calls, read/send SMS, synchronize the phone's and SIM contacts to the COMAND, etc.
About a week ago I upgraded the firmware on my phone to overcome some other (irrelevant to this) issues I had. When I got into my car after the phone's firmware upgrade I naturally needed to pair the phone with the COMAND/SAP Cradle. I did everything according to the manual that came with the SAP v2 Cradle and thought all would be good again. Then, I try to re-sync the COMAND's address book with that of my phone's by following the manual's procedure (dial 0000).
The synchronization started ok: phone exited Remote SIM mode, got indication "Please Wait" on Comand and phone went into Sync mode. Almost immediately though I get on the phone "System Error" and just the option to press ok. I pressed ok and few seconds later the synchronization process ended, Remote SIM was activated again but phonebook was not loaded to COMAND. I repeated the same process over and over again, removed pairing and went over the whole pairing process from the beginning but still no luck. Unfortunately neither the phone or the COMAND would give any information on what the problem was.
I checked for many hours on Nokia and Mercedes forums, on Google, etc. but still no luck. I found quite a few people facing the same problem mainly with N95 and E-series phones but no solution. Strange thing was that all were facing the problem from the very first time they tried to transfer their phone's contacts to COMAND while in my case in the past it was working and stopped working after upgrading my phones firmware.
After hours of trial and error (removed recently installed phone applications, restored old phone backups, etc.) without luck I thought the problem would be the new firmware on my phone. But... I had no way to go back to the old firmware but even if I had I would cause the same issues that the new firmware solved again (so "rolling back" the firmware was not a real option). So I started going through every possible "core" phone setting that could have changed with the firmware upgrade to see what could be wrong and voila: if you go to the Connect->Sync menu on your phone you will see there a sync profile called PC Suite. Select it, click Options, Edit Profile and then, Connection. You will see that one option is Server Version. If selected Server Version is 1.2 underneath there is another option called Server ID. These two (Server Version and Server ID) are what cause the problem. You have the option to edit the PC Suite profile and set Server Version to 1.1 (then Server ID option disappears) and synchronization with COMAND will work. But as you might have side effects with PC Suite in this way, the ideal thing to do is to create a new sync profile, copy the settings from the PC Suite profile (you are prompted for this) and then, go and change this new profile so that Server version is 1.1. That was it (at least in my case) and I hope this will be helpful for others too. I also had Mail For Exchange installed on my mobile and removed it but I don't think this was the issue (will actually re-install MfE on my mobile now).
Obviously, this Server Version 1.2 option did not exist on the old firmware of my phone so there was nothing to configure and all was working ok seamlessly but when it came out and set as the default by Nokia caused the incompatibility with Mercedes COMAND.
Good Luck!

Thanks for a thorough description of your problem and devised solution.
I was getting very happy with your description of facts, for I recognized them all. However, in my case your solution did not work: I did change back to Server Version 1.1 of the synchronization profile and still get the "System Error" message.
I have no doubts whatsoever that this happened with the 110.07.127 firmware upgrading.
Do you have any other clue on how to proceed from here?

There is a problem communicating with the printer.

I have a Lexmark Interpret S405. I am using a MBP laptop with WiFi, running 10.5.8. I have a cabled (non-wifi) Linsys router. I am using an Airport Express.
I was finally able to get the WiFi light on the Lexmark to be static green after reinstalling the Lexmark WiFi setup and reconfiguring my Airport settings so that both the computer and printer see each other.
In fact, I even updated the driver from Lexmark's Web site last night and I watched the WiFi light on the printer blink green indicating that the installation of the driver update was being communicated to the printer.
However, when I print, it opens the print window and says first "Looking for S300-S400", then it says "Printer is now online". Then after about 10 seconds, I get this error: "There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
I've exhausted Lexmark's technical databases and couldn't find the answer here.
I've read that one possible solution was to delete all the printers from the "Print & Fax" system preferences window and re-add. That didn't work.
Lexmark says for: The printer communicating on a network; however, the printer is not responsive. Possible causes could be:
1. Your printer is associated with a network, router, or access point, but it is not your network.
2. A software process is blocked by a system security firewall preventing network communication.
3. You are logged into Virtual Private Network (VPN).
4. You are connected to a network but have decided to switch to a USB connection.
I don't have a VPN and have removed the USB cable, then restarted both printer and computer, and deleted printers in Sys Prefs, restarted, and still no solution.
I can print directly via USB cable, but want to print wirelessly.
Lexmark also says to enter my PIN (which I have pulled out from the print menu screen on the printer) in the System. That tells me a lot...
Network settings on the print window on the printer also tell me Signal strength is 5 (excellent) and that I am on the network my airport is on.
Message was edited by: Macman17

I bet this is too late but...
Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

The "gig" is not up. IMHO the problem is with software, not hardware

There very well could be a few iPhones that have hardware problems but my opinion / findings say it is sofrtware rather than hardware.
Case in point. I have owned my iPod Touch (32 GB) for over 6 months now and have had no problems with it until I installed 2.0 software. The problem got even worse on the Touch when I upgraded to 2.0.1. The problem was freezing up which required a special rest proceedure and a complete restore. I had the same problem with not one but two iPhone 3G's (I returned the first one). Same scenario. Speical reset and complete restore solved the problem. I have now had no problems except for a little instability (such as slow keyboard from time to time) for the past 4 days. Bear in mind this is on BOTH the iPOd Touch AND the iPhone 3G. ONe would think that if the problem was with hardware that the problem would not be with both the iPhone 3G AND the iPOd Touch.
Would love to hear the opinions of others.
Ken

If your question is "Is the 2.0/2.01 software buggier/slower/flakier than the 1.0/1.1/etc. software for iPhone/iPod Touch", then the answer is of course SMS typing slows down on occasion now, weird pauses, freezes etc. are all new to 2.0/2.01.
This doesn't mean that the iPhone 3G hardware isn't possibly flawed as well-that still hasn't been answered. But its pretty common knowledge (I think) that 2.0/2.01 is much less stable than the 1.0 OS. (on the flip side, look at all the new stuff we get to play with in 2.0/2.01 )

Multiple usage of Source System is not possible with installed DMIS version on source

Hello folks!
I`ve got a problem trying to adjust the Data Replication to SAP BW (on HANA) using SAP LT Replication Server.
I`ve deleted one connection and after that I`m trying to create new one through Configuration & Monitoring Dashboard (transaction LTR) with the same source / target systems.
As result when on the second step (Specify Source System) I specify RFC destination of the source system it appears an error with text
"Multiple usage of Source System is not possible with installed DMIS version on source".
But there`s no any adjusted connection in system now..
Please, help me to understand how to fix that problem, I can`t find a solution

Hi,
When you say that you 'deleted one connection', did you delete the RFC connection or the SLT Configuration? If it is not a real multiple usage scenario, then deactivate the 'allow multiple usage' flag, else install the correct DMIS version on both SLT and source.
Thanks

No logon possible with "Administrator" Account

Hi,
since a few weeks it's not possible for me to log on with the Administrator account via the Explorer like http://<server>:<port>/irj or /nwa or /useradmin etc.
It's still possible to log on at the visual Administrator with the Administrator account.
But when i want to log on to the portal (/irj) the logon mask appears again after correct logon.
If I want to use an other account for logon after trying to logon with administrator account the message comes up, that "Authentication failed. User is already authenticated as a different user."
We are using EP 7.0 SPS 23 incl. actual patches.
User store is the UME DB + LDAP (read access)
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Roland

Hi Anja,
yeah i just checked out the note. But it doesn't fit to me. I neither get the mentioned error in the traces nor do i have a problem connection with other users except the ones with "administrator" in their name.
Additional info: I have the problem throughout my Portallandscape. So dev, qas and productive engine are affected. So it would be a big coincidence that all three ticketstores are corrupt or something like that.
Thanks anyway!
Kind regards
add. info:
I had a look what's in the security log of a portal system where the logon with the user "administrator" works and what's in the security log of the portals where i get the logon screen again.
Portal where it works:
LOGIN.OK

Authentication Stack: ticket

So you can see at the "createTicketLoginModule"        is the difference ==> ok true true | ok true false

Ipod update freeze, firewire problem, possible fix for many.

Hello all,
I've been having a problem with my ipod 3rd gen updating in much the same way as many in this forum have throughout a number of topic threads.
PROBLEM:
During song/playlist/content (not software update or restore) updating function one of two things would happen:
- update would freeze at some point of the transfer (5, 74, 687 songs in to the update) and I would have to force quite itunes and, not being able to dismount the ipod through recommended procedure, I would physically dismount the ipod and receive a scolding for improper dismounting of device.
- system would crash at some point of the transfer yielding the shaded screen and a prompt to restart the computer by depressing the front panel button for two seconds.
In each of the above cases, no matter how many songs that itunes thought it had transferred, I would only have about a dozen songs on the ipod itself, perhaps indicating a bottleneck on the G4 end of the transfer.
DEADENDS FOR ME THAT MAY STILL SOLVE PROBLEM FOR SOME:
- swaping out cables
- ipod software restore or restore to earlier version
SOLUTION:
After contacting Apple support, I was led to the opinion that the problem was with the firewire port itself. This was confirmed by attaching my ipod with my cable to a roomates G5 resulting in a faultless transfer of his song library. I was ready to go out and purchase a new firewire PCI card but decided to research firewire problems in the G4 folder of Discussions. This is where I found the fix to my problem (see links at bottom of document). It would seem that Mac ports, both firewire and USB, have a tendency to bog down after awhile and need to be reset. This can be a addressed by one of three possible solutions. The first and easiest was the solution that worked for me (for other solutions please follow links at bottom of page):
- powered down and disconnected all firewire and USB cables from the G4
- disconnected power cable from G4 (for laptops I would guess that the battery would need to be removed, not sure if that causes any other problems though, please research)and let sit for about 30 minutes.
- reconnected all cables and restarted computer. Ports should be reset at that point
- I took the added measure to restart my computer once with nothing attached to USB and firewire ports and then powering down with front panel button before connecting cables and proceding with final restart.
RESULT:
Faultless transfer of 37.6 gigs of content in less that 45 minutes.

Good Luck

This worked perfectly for me!!!
SOMEBODY PLEASE TAG THIS POST!!!
i have had the problem that everyone has posted about (i.e. - updated iTunes/iPod software and had the update/freeze problem, tried all solutions, to no avail, and was pretty much screwed.)
JUST DO EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS TO DO (powermac g5, by the way):
1) power down the computer
2) unplug EVERYTHING (usb, firewire, power, monitor, etc.)
3) leave unplugged for 30 minutes
4) plug power back in
5) power up from main power button
6) wait for computer to start back up, then shut down from power button
7) plug everything back in and power up
8) restart once more for good measure
9) update your ipod
10) take a sigh of relief!
you are seriously a godsend...only one thing...I BOUGHT A NEW ONE ALREADY!!! i literally bought it the day that you posted this solution. After a month and a half of trying to fix this problem, i finally gave up and bought a 20GB iPod Photo with applecare...cost me about $380.
no matter, i think i'm gonna sell my "older" ipod to my mom or dad. they'll use it doing whatever they do. plus, that way, if there's any problem, i can fix it for them without feeling bad about screwing over some stranger.
thanks again, this solution worked perfectly.

HT2506 Is there anyone else who is having problems printing with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X?

Since upgrading to Lion OS X, I have not been able to print any of my documents that were created in Adobe PDF. All calls to customer support have been a bust.
When I try to print anything it comes out looking like this:
Apple PREVIEW team!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi Linc...
Here is a copy of your prior post to me on a different forum...
Still no resolution...

Re: Anyone having problems with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X? When using a pdf form that allows multiline text, I am finding that the printing is completely illegible. The lines are stacking on top of each other.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, selectHelp from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mar 11, 2012 4:13 PM (in response to Linc Davis)
Did all of that yesterday, with the Apple Representative on the phone, and nope, still a problem...it was kind of exciting, really, they kept going up and up the tiers of support until I got disconnected...Fortunately I had the email address of the gentleman who was helping me so that I could email him back and let him know that we got disconnected...as you might imagine, he still has not emailed me back. They were able to receive a copy of the form that I use for charting and try it in their facility on their computers, so we know:
1- it is not just my computer.
2- it occurred only after installing Lion OS X, not sure if they have tried it on Snow Leopard, but that's what I would have done if I was them...assuming that somewhere in Apple someone has not upgraded to Lion.
3- it is not just my software.
I think the problem is with the newer iteration of Preview not communicating well with the Adobe .pdf. probably some line of coding that needs to be written and insertedinto their program for multiline text.
:-) Thank you for your help!

Goods movement not possible with mvmt type 109

Hello All!
I have following problem. I try to book the goods receipt with VL32n and movement type 109 and get following message: M7096 Goods movement not possible with mvmt type 109
- First I created a PO with Confirmation Control Key Inbound delivery
- Goods receipt ist booked with movement type 107 with MIGO
- I created an inbound delivery with movement type 109
Finally I want to book with VL32n the goods receipt, but the booking fails with error message 109. Any idea why.
Regarding some OSS notes, I thought that it could work this way.
Hoping for help,
Barbara

i am not sure that i read you correctly
the process for inbound delivery is
create PO; in PO conf control key set to inbound del.
create inbound del in vl31n
do MIGO on inbound del
if the inbound del is with 107 mvmt type the GR will bring it to valuated block stock
do 109 to move it from valuated block stock to unresticted stock.

Ipsec tunnel possible with Checkpoint ngx 6.5 and Cisco ISR-dual ISP?

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to fulfill in that there are 2 sites that I need to create an ipsec tunnel. A remote site running a Checkpoint ngx 6.5 and a local site with 2 different ISPs and 2 x ISR 29xx routers for both ISP and hardware redundancy. I have only done the vpn setup with one ISR and ISP1 so far.
I am planning to have just 1 ISR (ISR1) and ISP1 being active at any given time. If ISP1 or ISR 1 goes out, all traffic should fail over to ISR2 with ISP2.
is this possible with the ISRs?
Checkpoint does not appear to allow seeing the different ISRs with 2 possible WAN ip addresses with the same encryption domain or 'interesting traffic', so i am not sure if this work at all.
BGP won't be used.
I have looked at ip sla, pbr, and it appears that the best I could achieve would be vpn traffic via ISR1 and ISP1, and could failover only the non vpn traffic to ISR2 and ISP2. Please correct me if I am wrong....many thanks.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated..

Audio (and other) problems noted with Keynote version 4.0.1

Since installing Keynote 4 and the 4.0.1 update, I have noted the following situations and/or problems:
1) When doing a "save-as" the filename is appended with the suffix ".key" but when I subsequently "save" this file, the suffix disappears. The file seems to open and operate OK nonetheless, but this puzzles and somewhat concerns me that someday Keynote may not recognize the file. This happens whenever I "save" a slideshow after I have made any changes to it.
2) When playing back a "soundtrack," the audio "glitches" frequently at slide transitions: this occurs repeatedly on my G5 desktop system but not on my MacBook Pro-17. The "glitches" always seem to occur at the same places in the track - which, of course, is also at the same slide transitions. (This problem has spawned several similar questions and threads in this forum.)
3) Related to #2 above, the "glitches" also interrupt or corrupt the "recording" of that soundtrack, so that the synchronization is off when the slideshow is played back.
4) If I want to have an audio track play under a series of slides, the only way I have found to accomplish this is to create a separate slideshow with the audio track running as a "soundtrack" and "record" the Builds and Transitions in sync with the audio. If I want to incorporate several of these shows together, I can create a "master" slideshow and Hyperlink each segment to the next. HOWEVER...
5) When I "record" a "soundtrack" and "synchronize" the Builds and Transitions within the slideshow, everything plays back properly in sync ONLY when the slideshow is played as a stand-alone presentation (i.e. a cold start from the desktop). If I initiate playback of the slideshow via a Hyperlink from another presentation, the soundtrack plays but NONE of the synchronization works at all.
6) The only way I have found to have an audio track "fade-in" or "fade-out" is to use off-line editing software to record these fades prior to importing the tracks into Keynote. The "Start Audio" Build function is simply a hard "cut" in, and the end of the track is a hard "cut" out.
These problems are consistent and repeatable facts. Whether they are "bugs" in the software or "design shortcomings" is uncertain. Nonethtless ...
At the risk of offending the moderators of this forum, I feel compelled to comment that these problems render the audio operations of Keynote less than satisfactory and should be addressed as soon as possible with another update to this visually stunning but audio-challenged application.

Well Ron S, I re-confirmed why I prefer not to look to tech support for support.
It seems to me that support's main function is to deflect any critical comments and push the blame back to the user.
Frankly, I have better things to do with my time and money than try to help a multi-billion dollar enterprise learn about itself.
So, for the benefit of you and the nearly 400 who have followed this thread, I offer you my latest and probably last attempt to have Apple acknowledge in some small way that "Houston, we have a problem".
I expect this reply will result in this thread being yanked as well, since I'm expressing negative thoughts about Apple's product and wishing they would do better, which is a non-technical gasp of utter frustration and disappointment. Note that "product" is singular, defining Keynote. My other Apple products serve me loyally and superbly, which is why my huge disappointment with Keynote.
So here is my correspondence with Tech Support. I've removed names except mine.
I think it speaks for itself. They have notes from my conversations with them that I have current Apple computers, including a MacBookPro, not an old PowerBook, nevertheless, they have told me that the problem is mine because the fabulous hyper-performing Keynote software is choking my poor old machine (paraphrased muchly).:
Hi (support),
That's disappointing news, especially since this test was done on 3 machines: an old G4 400, a 2.0G Dual G5 and an Intel core duo MacBookPro which yielded identical results.
It is not a hardware issue.
I do not accept a brush-off that it is my hardware that is causing Keynote to be problematic.
I will assume that Apple is not interested in addressing these issues in public and that Keynote is substandard software that is in need of re-authoring.
Sorry to be so blunt, but Apple has set this tone with Keynote, and used its considerable reputation as a leading a/v technology innovator to imply that Keynote will deliver the excellence we Mac users have come to expect.
I have been a loyal mac user since the SE series and have enjoyed success with the machines and software offered by Apple, and depend on them for my livelihood. I'm currently using FC Studio6 and know that Apple is capable of maintaining its high standards.
However, Keynote fails to do that, instead behaving like a product that was invented in a teenager's basement and is in beta. I realize that it's not designed as a FCP level product, but it fails at the basic tasks that you advertise it will complete.
A version 4 product should work as advertised. Keynote certainly does not.
I'm deeply saddened that Apple seems to have become an iPod entertainment company, interested mainly in profits from entertainment rather than serious useful technology.

Hello Sir,
Unfortunately, this does look like it's mostly a case of some of the new Keynote features slowing down the performance on the PowerBook.
At this point, there isn't much else we can do in the way of troubleshooting.
If you are not satisfied with the performance on the PowerBook, using the previous version of Keynote is probably his best option at this point.
We will continue to research this issue, but at this point it's unlikely I'll be able to find additional suggestions for improving performance, as it looks like it is is reproducible and limited to older models.

Hi (support),
Thanks for your recent followup calls. I'm directing a video shoot so am a bit preoccupied.
Here are the tests I mentioned.
These are as simple as it gets, and I think highlights the synchronization problem with Keynote.
Test 1 is straightforward, and demonstrates that a single unedited recorded audio track will maintain mouse click synchronization.
Test 2 is the same file, but with audio modifications applied to each slide in succession.
This demonstrates a dramatic synchronization slippage.
The visuals occur before the click (and audio) markers. Keynote seems to be create delay in audio at each "record and replace" point. This accumulates as the audio is revised in successive slides.
These tests demonstrate that there is a fundamental flaw in how Keynote handles audio in its most basic application.
This does not address the slim toolset available, such as lack of insert capability and other basic audio tools, which is a separate design issue, and I suppose subject to "request for enhancement" feedback.
I've reluctantly abandoned Keynote for my project work at present until these basic issues are addressed and it can be demonstrated that Keynote can successfully execute its feature set.

Managing 1 library from iMac and Macbook Pro....possible with 1.5?

Hi everyone,
I still haven't firgured out if this is entirely possible with 1.5 or not.
At the moment I (on my iMac) have moved my images out of the Aperture Library and onto an external 500GB USB drive. On the MBP I have imported the images as referenced files.
So, I have all my images appearing in the library of both Macs but I have a sneaky feeling that what I've done is create two libraries rather than sharing the one library between the two machines.
I want to be able to sort/rate images on either machine and have the changes show up on the other machine the next time I run Aperture, is this possible?
Does anybody know how I achieve this?

I do indeed have a solution for this, and it works for both Aperture 1.1.x as well as 1.5.
In terms of my workflow: I have two copies of my Aperture library. The primary copy exists on my MacBook Pro, while the secondary copy exists on my PowerMac G5. I make all changes on my MBP, and then synchronize the library to my PM.
(Notably, the copy on my PowerMac is used for perusing only. Any changes I were to make would be overwritten the next time I synchronize from my MacBook Pro.)
In terms of implementation: I synchronize my library using the 'rsync' command-line utility. For the uninitiated, 'rsync' -- with the appropriate options enabled -- synchronizes a directory hierarchy. It does this by determining which files exist, have changed, etc., and then copies only the differences.
'Rsync' works well, however it is anything but user-friendly. Unless you are an "Uber Geek" like myself, I recommend a third-party graphical synchronization tool.
And finally, a few "gotchas" -- and disclaimers:
* I only synchronize my library when Aperture is not running on either Mac. Otherwise, problems could occur.
* I maintain an offline backup of the primary library, via Aperture's Vault feature. (Given that I am not using an officially-sanctioned synchronization method, I do not depend on the secondary copy as a backup. Nor should you.)
* And finally, I want to stress that this is a one-way synchronization method. Attempting a two-way library synchronization via 'rsync' -- or any synchronization tool for that matter -- may cause irreversible library corruption!
Comments/questions/concerns are all welcome.
Cheers,
-Chris
