Same photos stored on two drives with one Catalog?

That's probably not clear to what I'm asking but here goes.
I have my main LR Catalog of images on an external drive at home. The LR catalog/database itself is on my MacBook Pro.  That way I can do database 'stuff' with the photos offline when I'm away from home.  I have a backup of the images, including full folder structure, on a portable drive that I keep off-site at my office.
Is it possible to access the images from the backup drive on the MacBook with the LR catalog?  Will LR recognize that these are two different drives even though the images are identical?  Anything I should be aware of before attempting to do this, or watch for if I do?
Thanks

Well, there are many out there, but I'm using Synchronize! Pro ... hm...
http://www.qdea.com/synchronize_pro_x_intro.html
I've only had to call them once on support, and they were quick about it.  Turns out if you use a PC formatted portable disk, you have to set the compare time to greater than 1 second because PC's use a 2 second clock, or something like that (don't remember exaclty why), but it solved the only problem I had with it.
Been working for me for awhile now, and I'm quite happy with it.  Easy to add exclusions (I didn't need to sync the previews, for example).
Cheers!

  • How to print two sides with one page?

    I have a PDF that is one page long and I'd like to print the same thing twice (front and back) on one page. Can I do that?
    I've tried printing two copies with the printer set to double-sided, but it just printed two sheets with one side on each sheet.

    Well sure; Go back to the authoring application that created the documents and do a 2-UP page. Make the existingg page large enough to accomodate the extra content. Is that what you're asking or do you really mean print to a printer with a back up ? In that case just flip the page over and print page 2 on the other side.
    Or are we missing something ?

  • Print to two printers with one command?

    Is there a way to print the same document to two printers with one command? I'd like to have every document I print automatically saved as a PDF at the same time.
    Thanks,

    That would be a good use of the PDF Services available in OS X. You can use PDF Services with AppleScript or an Automator workflow.

  • How to run two programs with one PC and two monitors

    Good Morning,
    I have a requirement to run a parallel loop and update the progress in two monitors with one computer.
    For ex: its a two test stage, the process and progress of the 1st stage needs to displayed in monitor1 and similarly for 2nd stage to monitor 2 with program running with one computer.Would it be possible to do that.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Parker,
    yes, it's possible. You also have properties to set windows to specific monitors...

  • Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

    I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

    Hi, is  the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
    If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

  • How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications

    How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
    We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

  • Can we perform two actions with one button with two clicks one after other?

    Sir,
    can we perform two actions with one button with two clicks one after other?
    I want that when I click an Add Button first time it add data to the database and when I click again this button it clear the form data to empty fields.
    Regards
    Tanvir

    In code it should be easy.
    The following code adds a button called butman with a text "ADD".
    It then registers a listener that will be called if the button is clicked.
    This listener then calls the runAddData method if you clicked on butman while it contained the "ADD" text and it will call the runClearData method otherwise.
    Therefore it will swap the button's functionality between ADD and CLEAR on every click.
    final Button butman = new Button("ADD");
    butman.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
              @Override
              public void handle(ActionEvent t) {
                        if (butman.getText().equals("ADD")) {
                                  butman.setText("CLEAR");
                                  runAddData();
                        } else {
                                  butman.setText("ADD");
                                  runClearData();
                        } // END IF-THEN
              }});I hope this is what you wanted.
    Some extra food for thought.
    You might want to run the ADD and CLEAR methods in their own threads so that it can run in the back ground, without slowing down your user interface.
    I also like to rather reuse one button for multiple functionality in stead of making an application with hundreds of nodes only used rarely with masses of code to show and hide them if needed.

    Hello
    I assume you want to create multiple instance of your class.
    Assuming that you class is NOT a singleton then simply repeat the CREATE OBJECT statement as many times as you need.
    TYPES: begin of ty_s_class.
    TYPES: instance   TYPE REF TO zcl_myclass.
    TYPES: end of ty_s_class.
    DATA:
      lt_itab      TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_s_class
                     WITH DEFAULT KEY,
      ls_record  TYPE ty_s_class.
      DO 10 TIMES.
        CLEAR: ls_record-instance.
        CREATE OBJECT ls_record-instance.
        APPEND ls_record TO lt_itab.
      ENDDO.

  • HT204053 Use two phones with one iCloud account?

    Can you have two iphones with one iCloud account?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Absolutely. There is no problem whatsoever in using a single iCloud account for two phones. However, saying that, if the two phones are used by different people, it may well not be the best of ideas.

  • Syncing two iphones with one computer

    A co-worker and I share a secretary. We'd like to be able to sync our individual calendars (in Outlook '03) on our secretary's PC.
    Is this possible?

    UPDATE:
    Well I thought I figured it out when I realized iTunes gives you the option of syncing only selected calendars. My plan was to check only my calendar to sync with my phone and Gary's calendar to syn with his phone.
    Unfortunately, the option to sync only selected calendars is grayed out in iTunes. I can only check the "sync all calendars" box.
    Surely others have figured out how to sync two phones with one computer and only have the data you specify synced to the specific phone.
    Do I have to create another Windows user account where only Gary's calendar is maintained and then switch back and forth between user accounts whenever syncing?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Two drives with the same backup

    Is it possible to have Time Machine make the same backup on two drives?
    I like to have to backup sets, one stored in some other location for extra security. Ideally, I could swap backup drives every now and then, one being connected to my computer, the other being stored somewhere else.
    What do you think?

    I think i managed to trick OSX 10.5.1 to accept the second Drive.
    here is what i did.
    went to Disk utility and asked to verify disk ( the external drive ) of course it went thru the motion and reported that everything is ok.
    when i ran TM again, it took the job and did the backup
    thing is, i do not know why we cannot repair permissions on external drives !!

  • Photo library has two albums with same pics.

    Hey guys, I am having a problem... not really a problem but an annoyance. I have two photo albums on my Ipod touch 4g with the same pictures. I have tried to restore, resynch, anything I could think of too only have one but no5hint worked. What I mean is when I open photos it goes to albums which shows   Camera Roll, Photo Library, and My Pictures. The problem is Photo Library and My Pictures have the same exact pictures. How do I get rid of one so Its just like Camera Roll and Photo Library. Thanks for any help.

    You cannot.
    This is how Apple handles photos.
    ALL photos sycned to the iphone will be in Photo library.  You can access those exact same photos from the folders/albums thta you chose to sync.  Just as one song can be accessed from itunes library and a playlist, the one pic can be accessed from Photos library and the album.

    My user folder has suddenly disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it comes up as still being there with all its data. Can drag a duplicate copy from the find window back onto the hard drive but don't want two copies there with one of them hidden. Any suggestions anyone?

    Did you update to 10.9.3?
    If you did then update to iTunes 11.2.1.
    That is the fix for that problem.
