Sharing Projects (Again!) But now on Windows

OK, so, we finally moved all but one edit station to Windows.  We're keeping one mac around for legacy projects on FCP, but all future work will be on Windows.
Now, I've asked this before, but it was in a Windows <-> Mac situation, now we're all windows it's still causing me problems.
What EXACTLY do I need to do (as in settings in PP and/or projects) to be able to copy a project from one PC to another PC and have it NOT need to conform again, generate peak files again etc etc.   This is driving me crazy.  All the files are just getting replacted over again (even though they are already there in the directory).
The PCs are IDENTICAL in every way.  Same mobo, cpu, hard disks, paths etc.  The only thing that's different is the Windows key and the Production Premium key. 
All project files are on E: (Raid) in identical folders (we cloned the HDDs!!!).
HELP!

I don't have an exact answer, but here's what I would try (in case you haven't already).
Delete all of the cache files for a project -- all of them.  Start a new project then immediately clean the media cache database.  Load an existing project on one system and let Pr regenerate the cache files there.  Move the project over to another system and see what happens.
You may also want to try relocating the media cache database via Preferences before loading that existing project, but that's kind of an off-the-wall suggestion.
I don't have better answers because I've never had this problem.  I move projects between my RAID-equipped desktop system and the eSata external drive I use for my laptop and Pr doesn't regenerate the cache files.  I keep the cache files next to the media.

    If you have access to them anywhere, restore them from it. If not, click here and ask, or redownload the applications freely.

  • Hi.my computer crashed.had to download itunes again.but now my computer rejects my iphone.what do i do

    hi my computer crashed and i had to download itunes again. but now my computer rejects my iphone.what do i do. even my stuff on iphone i can't import.

    I'm not sure what you mean by your computer "rejecting" the iPhone.
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Content sync is one way, computer to iPhone. So in general you cannot copy content from an iPhone to a computer. The best thing to do is to restore a backup of your computer from before its crash. This will put the content back on the computer, which you can then sync from computer to iPhone again.

  • I tried to make a second library, but my first one was deleted so I did it again but now I have doubles of every song. How do I restore my itunes back to the way it was before I tried to make a 2nd library?

    Like I said I tryed to make another library, I did what Itunes told me to do but it only erased the library I had and made a new one. So I did it again but I now have duplicates of every song. How do I get my it back to the way it was, before I tried to make a second library?

    C:\Users\Cheye\Music\iTunes should be the original library. You should be able to connect to it as follows.
    Close iTunes, wait a few seconds, click the icon that starts iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the file C:\Users\Cheye\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
    Depending upon exactly what you did this has either restored your library, or done absolutely nothing at all. That was the reason for asking you to check using the script.
    Assuming you still have a library full of dupes there are a number of ways to go. I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates which I discuss in some detail in this  thread. While it should work it will be ideal if it discards the copies that are outside the media folder C:\Users\Cheye\Music\iTunes\iTunes\iTunes Media. I've a feeling it will do exactly that, but it depends in part on exactly you got into this mess. It would be worth doing a few sample runs of just a few sets of duplicate files first.

  • File Sharing was working but now isn't

    Hey folks -
    Some time ago I had quite a sruggle getting my MacBook Pro visible to my home network. I found this threa - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6198136 - and blew out the files and reset things and poof - there it was. For the rest of that day, and a few other times later in the week, I had no problem accessing the Mac from other computers and seending files happily back and forth.
    Since then (February 08), I know that there have been a number of updates that I have allowed on the system. I have also just installed VMware Fusion to run and use Win XP while in the OS X environment.
    I just discovered that while my other computers can see my MacBook - they can only see the printers share - and even there I don't see the actual printers, just the folder (but both printers are checked for sharing).
    I have tried blowing things away again as in the link above and restarting, but no dice. I have unshared and reshared - but still no dice.
    Under the Sharing / File Sharing / Advanced option I have made sure that the box for "Share files and folders using SMB" is checked. The default box for "Share files and folders using AFP" I have tried both checked and unchecked - this is the only Mac on the system - All other computers are Win XP systems, save for the server which is a CentOS 5 system. I can see the other computers in my network from the MacBook and I can connect to the shared folders on them - so I know I have local network access, but not the other way round.
    I also have no idea how or why the Printer Share folder is showing up, but contains no actual printers. In VMware Fusion when I bring up XP Pro and try to install my networked HP 2300D by visiting it's URL, the ever so helpful IE tells me that it won't install the Active X component - so I thought I would just use the Printer share - and that's how I discoverd that the folder is there, but nothing is in it. Sure enough, the other systems in my network can see the MacBook, and they get a folder for the Printers - but nothing is in there.
    Back in February this was working (file share and printer share) - no idea what changed or when it changed, but it is frustrating.
    I have read through a number of other postings but none seem directly on point to this issue, so I have not found any solutions that have worked.
    Hoping that someone can offer a suggestion that will work.

    the same thing is with me too. me and my brother both have 2GB nanos, i got mine just after christmas. It kept doing this weird symboling thing, i couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. so, i took it back - to best buy. they gave me a new one. now i have this second one and it has been working fine until one day i asked my mom to plug it in and charge it for me. it still had about 1 red bar left. about 2 or 3 hours later, i went to unplugged it [safely unplugged it] and it had all my BROHTERS music updated on it [i always uncheck his songs first so they dont go on it, they WERE unchecked on itunes! i dont know how they got on!!!] so then i look, and it didnt even charge at all. it still had the same amount of energy. my brother rarely updates his ipod, just charges it. but, he did update it earlier that day, and since then...i cant CHARGE my ipod, i cant update it, nothing works. now i just tried plugging it in to charge, and it was on hold, so i slid the button so that it wouldnt be. There is still a little lock on the top left corner, like it shows when its locked. EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT LOCKED! it wont let me do anything. ive been trying to figure it out for HOURS, ive followed the 5 steps and NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK i need help so badly.

  • I have had to restore my PC to factory settings. I have downloaded in tunes again but now cant find my previous purchases

    i have had to restore my pc to factory settings. i have downloaded i tunes again and cant find my purchases ?  wendy13

    You ought to have backed up your data before nuking Windows...
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • TS1363 I tried to print off some of the iTunes advice but my computer froze. I re-booted the computer and ran the diagnostic test again but now "Secure link to itunes store failed"  AND " itunes helper not running."

    I just tried to print off some itunes advice but my computer froze.  I re-booted it and ran the ipod diagnostic test again to get back to the screen I was on. This time "Secure Link to  i tunes store failed" AND "i tunes helper not running" both appeared.   Please help, all I can see is "Appears in Windows but not iTunes" at the top of the screen.  Even though I only vaguely know what that means, I don't think that's the help I need.

  • I am complete novice as far as ipad air is concerned I have got lots working but Ihave gone to app store again but now the page is greyed out with a bright centr to get a game i do not want how do i get rid of this please

    I am having trouble understanding my ipad going to the app store it comes up with  a greyed out page withe a bright centre for installing a program i do not want
    How can I get rid of this? it is bugging me
    Herbette

    I'm not exactly sure what you are seeing and what is happening, but try closing the App Store app, and then reset the iPad. See if that takes you out of that screen and allows you to navigate freely again.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the App Store app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I downloaded Guitarist's Reference Pro when it was free one day and now the file is missing, so I try to download it again, but now it's charging me money. What happened to 'Restore Purchases'??

    I thought that if you bought a product under a certain name, and you needed to buy the same product again, you should be able to get back the same product without having to pay more. I thought that that was the concept of 'Restore Purchases'. So why is the iTunes store charging me now?

    Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links

  • Again but now in Lion Finder don't show art cover on the songs

    As happened on Snow Leopard and some updated fixed it, now i have the same problem in Lion. I did a clean instalation. Anyone else have the same problem?

    Yeah, Christiantf is right, I think I was encountering the same issue.
    I solved it installing Itunes 10.5.1(42), even if I'm not using Itunes at all.
    Albumarts will now appear in every folder from the finder.
    I closed my topic because I solved it :
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16640910
    Is it the same for you ?

  • TS1718 Since I upgraded to ITunes 11 now My Movies that are on an external drive has no sound.  Is anyone having that problem?  Before it was the movie cover now that seems to be working again but now it is the sound

    This is especially true with my Blu-Ray movies

    I have this same problem too - thanks for the heads up that all my NOTES will get wiped.  Going to have to workaround by dumping all my notes from Outlook to ONENOTE on the cloud.  Then not really using NOTES on my iPhone and iPad.  Apple is slowly becoming more and more successful in getting me to NOT use MS products, like Outlook.  Actually, my cloud strategy will be to keep my longer notes on ONENOTE and relegating NOTES on iPhone/iPad to just quick hits that I jot here and there.  I guess iPhone/iPad notes will then get synced over iCloud but will not end up in Outlook.  What a pain in the arse!  I need a seriously freaking flow chart to keep track of all of my cloud activity.  It's making my head spin.
