Sharing the iweb website creation between two macs in the same house?

I have an imac. Just purchased a macbook for the wife that arrives tomorrow. She wants to be able to update our website using her imac (a website I've started and maintained on the imac).
My question is...is it possible to "sync" the iweb application or to otherwise let her have access to the same info I see on the imac so she may update the site as well from her own mac?
We are connected in the house via a wireless network.
Thanks.

Sharing files between two macs over the internet

I'm trying to work out how to connect two macs across the internet and am wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a "very basic , step by step, how to" file or manual.
I've browsed some of the discussion in this forum and some are more helpful than others but none seem to start with the very basics of what should or should not be turned on in the firewall settings and the the security issues mentioned in one ot two threads.
I'm not looking for " hold my hand tutorial" just a pointer to where I can do some more reading so I can inform myself and possibly ask some emore intelligent questions
I'm trying to connect a B&W G3, OSX 10.4.6, connect to the internet through a dsl modem over an ethernet network, to a remote Imac G5 , OSX 10.4.6 also connected through a different dsl modem over an ethernet network.
Thanks
G3 B&W Mac OS 9.2.x

Sharing iPhoto library over network between two Macs

I would like to edit/create albums via sharing.
I can easily share photos between my two Macs via sharing, but I can't move photos between albums, can't create new albums, etc. (I would like to be able to use my laptop in our home network to modify the albums on the PowerMac in the basement.)
I don't want to move files from one computer to another; via sharing, I essentially want to be able to modify the host library's albums. I don't want to edit the photos as much as I want to move them. Is this possible?

Hi there,
There are two ways that I have tried to share a Library. The first method was to delete the empty library on my laptop and start iPhoto. The application could not find the library and asked me where it was. I linked it to the library on the other computer over the network. This method works but can be very slow when editing or scrolling (especially when using AirPort). It is also safer to only have one iPhoto accessing one library at a time.
The other way that I have been able to relibaly access and edit an iPhoto library on another mac was by using Virtual Network Computing (VNC). Essentially it provides the user the ability to see and controll another computer on the network from their machine. It does work and is alot faster than the first method but the downsides are that the host computer cannot be used at the same time and VNC software does not resize the desktop when, for example, accessing a 20" screen from a 12" laptop. This means that you have to resize the iPhoto window to fit on the smaller screen.
For the host computer (server) I used Real VNC and for the network client I used Chicken of the VNC.
The software works well and is usefull to access emails on the computer in the office from the living room. I have to say that I have stopped using these methods as they both tend to hogg the network and other users in the family are stuck for long periods of time trying to load a web page.
Hope this helps,

Transfer large files between two Macs over the web

I would like to transfer a number full quality photos from a DSLR between two computers located in different states. Both machines are Macs, running Tiger. I would prefer a direct transfer method rather than breaking the files into email messages, which would be quite time consuming given the size of the files.
What is the best way to accomplish this? If the two machines were on the same local network it would be easy, but they are not so simply enable file sharing doesn't solve the problem (as far as I know). Can I enable FTP access on the host machine and access if from across the web? How would I figure out the proper address from outside the local network (assuming NAT is used on both ends). Is there a program I could use to make the process simpler (some sort of Bittorrent or DC++ program)?
Or is there a good online service that is free that allows large amounts of storage?
Thanks for the suggestions.

You could...
...turn on port forwarding in the destination router, forwarding port 22 for ssh to the destination computer
...turn on remote login on the destination computer
...turn on file sharing on the destination computer
...open a Terminal window and type ssh -L5548:localhost:548 [email protected]
where "user" is a valid account name on the destination computer and "IP.of.dest.Computer" is the IP address assigned by the destination computer's ISP to its broadband modem. The destination computer can get this information from http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ as BDAqua said. Then, so long as the ISP doesn't change the dynamic IP address before you actually do the transfer, you're okay. It's possible to get a free dynamic host name which circumvents this problem.
After all that, then on the source computer, you would just do a ⌘k and enter localhost:5548 and select the shared user account and login, then the remote computer will mount like an icon on the desktop of the source computer, as if it werre a local external drive. Then it's just drag-and-drop. ⌘e when done, then in terminal, type exit and then ⌘q.
I would not leave port 22 forwarded in the router any longer than I had to, unless you do a little work to harden your ssh remote login. However, even if you do nothing to harden it, it is way better as is than leaving ftp open.

Keep the audio signal digital between two Macs?

I have a MacBook (2GHz, 2GB RAM) running Logic Pro 8 and an iMac G5 (2GHz, 2GB RAM) that I use for Guitar Rig. I have an MBox 2 Pro connected to the MacBook. My current solution is to use the audio outputs of the iMac as inputs to the MBox 2 Pro, introducing another stage of D/A -> A/D conversion. The iMac has optical outputs and the MBox 2 Pro has has S/PDIF connectors; is there a way to keep the signal from the iMac to the MacBook completely digital, preferably without buying another audio interface?

Hi Axel,
I just bought the CO2 as well... it does work well. Although I have been having some other issues not related to the CO2 but more the iMac and its digital ins and outs. I posted this in another:
I'm having a similar problem / issue with the digital outs...
I'm sending a digital signal via a mini-TOSlink adaptor to my MOTU 828mkII ADAT IN... first problem is that unless I set the MOTU's clock to ADAT IN... (and not use it's only internal clock) then I get digital noise when I playback anything on my iMac... since there is no way to set the iMac clock in Audio Midi Setup to External... it's greyed out.
The larger issue is that playback works fine as long as the Audio driver is being used... i.e. iTunes playiing something back. When I stop any audio playback... about 30 seconds later, the MOTU sync light starts flashing as it's NOT receiving a sync signal from the iMac anylonger. Then if I start playback again it takes about 2-3 seconds for the playback to sound. Totally unacceptable...
I noticed a few things... first off... I also send a signal from my MOTU BACK to my iMac through the iMac's digital IN. With the Digital Output on the iMac, plugging in the TOSLINK cable will automatically change the OUTPUT in Audio Midi Setup to Digital Out... when plugging in the 2nd cable to Digital In, Audio Midi Setup DOES NOT change to Digital In unless you start audio playback, and that's where the 2-3 seconds lag comes in. When you actually hear the playback, if Audio Midi Setup is open... you can see the INPUT switch from Line In to Digital In... and if you stop playback, you can see the Digital In go BACK to Line In about 30 secs later... which should NOT be happening... although technically the Digital in should have NO effect on the Digital Out here anyway... and in truth it doesn't... taking the Digital In out of the equation totally - I still see the same issues... just find it interesting that this is happening.
I was wondering if you had noticed anything similar. Could you try to replicate my issue?
Any help would be appreciated... I'm wondering if the iMac's sound card is bad. Thanks so much

File Sharing problem between two macs on the same network.

Have a iMac and a Mac Mini and a MacAir on the network. We have file sharing turned on on all 3. The Mac Mini keeps popping up a error message that states "There is a problem connecting to a Server "iMac". However the Mac Mini is connected to the iMac and is sharing files between the two.

Sharing a Time Machine backup between two Macs

Hi
So I was running my music production software on a first gen Mac Mini. I would store all of my project files on an external drive and backup that external drive to a second external drive using Time Machine. I had Time Machine set so that it excluded everything on the Mac Mini except my original external drive.
Now I've stepped up to the latest and the greatest Macbook Pro 15 inch. I'm running the same music production software on it and loading up all my files from the same external drive. When I go to back it up with Time Machine, it wants to start a separate backup for the Macbook Pro, even though it is only backing up the same stuff from the Mac Mini. The thing is that there aren't any system specific files being backed up, just my project files. For the life of me I can't get it to continue the original backup. I plan on using both Macs for music production and plan on using the same drive for both. I would like to back up every time I finish a session on either computer.
Is there anyway I can get Time Machine on each computer just continue one backup??
I know I can access the backup from each computer by "Browsing Other Time Machine Disks", but I want to backup, not restore.
If not, is there any other software you can recommend? Although I would hate to lose the backups that I already do have...
Thanks!

That's probably a good option for you. It's not easy to keep a 3 way sync.
If you really want to keep certain files synced on your Mac Mini, you might want to look at ChronoSync. It appears it's a good backup-sync program. Don't know if will keep synced between the 2 computers and external drive without a little manuel effort, but would be easy to sync at least 2 devices, such as MacBook to Mac Mini, or MacBook to external.
If you don't need to keep synced files, then best option is to do a full TM backup of both computers. Since you have 2 externals, use one for each. You can still use TM to access files if you need, and if you have a hard drive failure, it's an easy replace drive and restore the whole computer from TM.
And don't overlook the option of File Sharing between the 2 computers to access each others files or a shared folder. That's a real easy way just to copy a few files when you need them.
Anyway, Good Luck and Happy Holidays

Simply connect the drive to one of the two computers and there you are!
Use your network and turn on file sharing. It's that simple.

How do i transfer files between two macs over the net (FTP)

Hi,
Couldn't find a thread like this, apologies if its been discussed already recently, I'm trying to enable two iMacs both Intel, both running 10.4.10 to be able to swap files (quite large 350MB) over the net just using Tiger.
We both have .Mac accounts but the files only upload properly to our iDisk 1 out of 3 times and its getting annoying, I basically want my mate to be able to drag a file off my HD onto his via the net using no other programs just Tiger, is this possible?
If not, what's the best free program to use.
Thanks

You'll have to get an FTP client as the Finder only reads, not writes to an FTP server. I can't suggest a free one. You will also need to open your computers up to the world. If you don't know how to do that, search for Port Forwarding and your particular router. You'll have to open up port 21 for FTP.
Plain old FTP is not very secure, so you shouldn't leave it open all the time. SFTP is Secure FTP, and you can use Fugu to use it. You'll still need to set up Port forwarding, but you can pick whatever port number you want. Fugu lets you pick the port number. You should set up standard users on each machine and make a sftpTransfer folder in the /Users/Shared/ folder. This will allow each of you to access the files. sftp allows anyone to see the directory structure, but still maintains the permissions from OS X. So, as standard users, you can look into each other's Home folder, but you won't be able to get into the subfolders or transfer files to or from any unshared locations.
By the way, I wrote an entire post describing how to use sftp from the command line before I decided to look for a client app for you. Then I found Fugu and changed it all.
Edit:
I forgot to mention you must turn on Remote Login in the sharing pane, and you'll have to use port 22 as this is the only one Mac OS allows remote connections on.

Can you use Airdrop between two Macs witch the same Apple ID?

Hi everyone,
you can see my question above. I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac but airdrop doesn`t seem two work between those two. They both use Mountain Lion. Its an iMac late 2012 and the MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. This means that from a technical standpoint this would have to work but it doesn`t, so I figuered that maybe it is because of the fact that I use the same Apple ID with both of them. Can anyone confirm this or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance!!

It is not necessary that the computers connect through a Wi-Fi router or access point.
The following steps are only to exclude a possible third party device interference.
Turn off Wi-Fi router and or Access Point.
Check that iMac and MBP have their Wi-Fi turned on.
Select Finder, Go, AirDrop, wait a few seconds.
Can you see the other computer inside the AirDrop window?

Sharing external FireWire drive between two Mac Pros

I know that sharing an external FireWire drive between two machines (i.e. both connected at the same time) is a very bad things as both will assume that they have exclusive write access to the drive and quite quickly write over what the other machine has just written.
Would it be possible though to mount the drive as read-only on the first machine and in read-write mode on the second? Would this preserve integrity as the second machine would in fact have exclusive write access or would other problems arise?
Thanks for any responses to a stupid question!
Peter

Mmm, Connect the drive to the private secure network Mac. Connect the two Macs by FireWire and create a network over the firewire connection, configure it to use class C addresses, ie. 169.x.x.x manually and then share the firewire drive to the other Mac (also on a class C network address over firewire).
Both macs will still have their own ethernet network addresses and each network will not be visible from the "other" network (unless you choose to share your internet connection over firewire).
The only caveat here is that the firewire drive will be visible to every other Mac on the secure network that you allow to connect to it (which is why I chose that one, rather than the public Mac). Or can you restrict sharing to only one network ..... didn't think so.

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

Share a library between two users on the same mac?

It is possible to share a library between two users on the same mac?

It's doable. As it's been pointed out Aperture has no provisions for file locking so you can't have two users accessing the library at the same time. This includes having one user having the library open only for browsing. Aperture doesn't have a +Read Only+ mode, when it opens the library, even if you make no changes to any images, the library will be written to.
This also means you can't have one user open the library and then stop using Aperture but still have the library open and then have another copy of Aperture open on the library.
Of course if you have two copies of Aperture running even they are on different libraries you'll be in violation of the license and you'll have bigger problems to worry about then a toasted library.

TS2972 is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?

My wife and I have itunes accounts and want to be able to share music we have each bought on our accounts. We have tried setting up the home sharing on our PC but it doesn't show up on the screen. Can anyone please help?

"Is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?"
No. Home sharing is used to connect two running instances of iTunes across a network. When you switch users on the computer all applications running on the other profile are suspended.
You can however share your respective media folders so that they are visible in either profile and then copy over any content that you want, or you could create a single joint library which you use when either user is logged in.
