Sharing the same data on two macs

Hello, I have two Macs and would like to keep the same data on each laptop. I don't think iSync is the tool for the job. Can anybody out there advise of an easy affordable method of ensuring both my machines are sharing the same data; itunes, photo's, files, etc.
Many thanks.

Get FoldersSynchronizer You can set up a selection of folders and sync them between two Macs.

    How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini ?

    Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want.  iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.

  • Is it possible to share the same iCal on two MAC users?

    Please help me. Is it possible for me to share the same iCal on two different MAC users? I know that you can sync it to an ipod or iphone, but can you share it on the same MAC with another user?
    If anyone knows, please tell me! Thank you!

    I think the easiest way to share calendars between the two users on the same Mac is by using Google Calendars/Calaboration.
    (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358#ical)
    After following the instructions in the link, export your iCal calendar and import it into the new Google Calendar. All events will appear in the new Google calendar which you can see in iCal or gmail. Set this up with the same google account information used when configuring the first user account and both users will be able to write and/or remove events in the calendar using iCal.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I have the same "events" on two Macs?

    I have the "family pack" and just installed on both Macs. I have the same exact pictures on both Macs. I organized all the events on one Mac and now I would like to have the same events on the second Mac.
    On the previous version of iPhoto, I simply would copy com.apple.iPhoto.plist from the first Mac and copy it to the next Mac. Then all my preferences (e.g., file names, roll names, etc.) would match. This method does not seem to work on iPhoto 08.
    Any suggestions?

    John:
    You could use iPhoto Library Manager and copy the events from one library to another like this. The demo shows an event being copies but it works the same for albums.
    You'll need to connect the Macs so you have access to the libraries and then IPLM will do the job.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Using the same photos on two Macs with iPhoto'09

    Hi there,
    I took a few hundred of photos during my vacation and imported them into iPhoto on my MacBook Pro (10.6.1). Now I would like to have these pictures on my MacPro, too - but all the photoinfos, places etc. should be preserved. How can I do that? Does the "export"-command work? I took the photos in RAW and would like to export them in RAW.
    Thanks for any advice,
    Stefan

    The only way to do this is to link the two Macs together and use iPhoto Library Manager to move the files plus the associated metadata and versions between Libraries.
    If you want to export the Raw files then you will not get the Metadata You have added in iPhoto. To get to the Raw you'll need to export the Kind as Original, and this is not part of the Original file.

  • Sharing the same library with two users

    Hi,
    I want to share my iTunes library with another user on our iMac.
    I followed the steps as discribed in iTunes: How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer but this is not working.
    The folder is made public, and when I browse in finder al movies and music files can be found.
    Does someone have any tips on sorting this one out?
    Many thanks,
    Timo

    Correct, iTunes does not add files automatically.  The point of the Shared folder is so they can be read by another user and get around file permissions issues of a specific user account, but iTunes will not add them to another user's library.
    Things may start to get complicated at this point.  When your wife adds one of those files to her library iTunes will want to make a copy of the file in her media folder.  I think you can get around this by using preferences to set her media folder to be the shared media folder the way you did for your library.  Old material will not be relocated unless she chooses to "organize" her media to this location too.  That's okay for now, but you will be back here with questions when the day comes you decide you want to relocate all your iTunes things to an external drive.

  • I currently have one input but need to run two loops. I cannot get the two while loops to run so that they both pick up the same data, they are both picking up alternate samples. How can I get them to both pick up all of the values?

    The system I am trying to create calculates a number of values based on an input. I need to make the calculations and display the values for an entire production run and for each hour. The only way I know to do this is to create two while loops, one looking at all the values that are received and one looking only at the values for hour long periods.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks
    RossH

    Why do you think that you have to have two loops to accomplish this task? Why not use one loop and accumulate the same data into two data sets based on the two sets of criteria?

  • Filling a range with the same date in Numbers '09

    I know if you type a date in to a field and then drag the corner it will fill successive dates, but is there a way to fill a range of cells with the same date so I don't need to retype them each time?

    Create a pattern of what you want, then do "fill"
    Enter the same date in two or three cells, in a row or column, then drag to fill the range. Numbers should recognize the pattern you created and continue it.

  • BAM Combo Chart showing data in 2 graphics for the same data object

    Hi all,
    I’m trying to show 2 views of the same data object in a Combo Chart (e.g. orders created today as a bar chart and orders created yesterday as line chart grouping by hour of day). It was pretty easy adding the same data object twice but the data type of the horizontal axis seems to be lost and it gets sorted as a simple string, leading to strange grouping of the hours with 05:00 representing 5 AM sided with 05:00 representing 5 PM. Also, I’m not able to format such fields using the format values tab.
    Is using the same data object two times in the same report an unsupported scenario?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    why you want to add the same data object twice? Your use case can be achieved with single data object only.
    1) Create combo chart and select the data object.
    2) On "Choose data fields" page group by datetime field.
    3) You will see UI changed to 3 sections - left one with "Group by" section, middle with "Chart values" and right one with "Time Groups".
    4) In the right "Time Group" section, uncheck checkbox for continuous time series. Time Unit as hour, quantity as 1.
    5) In middle "Chart values" section ,select the fields that you want to display as chart values and respective chart types , in your case orders created today as a bar chart and orders created yesterday as line chart.
    5) Click Next and Finish.
    6) Then you can go to Value format tab, and change the format for the datetime field as timeunit and required format.

  • Two Web-tiers Sharing the same business layer - oc4j

    I am trying to produce a web application that effectively has two parts. The initial part is an administration system that is used for data entry, it is used within the intranet and must be hidden behind the firewall. The second part is a data search system that is accessible via the internet (i.e opened up through the firewall). Both these web apps should share the same data (one for add/edit of data and one for searching of data) My question is, how can two web applications share the same jar file (business layer - session and entity beans). Is it possible to setup the oc4j appserver to get the applications to us the same jar file?
    Also any ideas how I can hide one of the web applications from the public access, if I open up the port number on the firewall that the oc4j http server uses surely all of my web-apps will be visible via the internet.
    Not sure if this is the right forum for this kind of question as it is more of a design issue but any help would be most appreciated.

    Eddie/403640, you have probably solved your problem of sharing the same jar files. How did your solve it? As I see it, there is no problem at all.
    One way, the ordinary way, is to create an application with ejb modules and web modules. Your business layer are the ejb modules. Your web applications are the web modules. By default, all classes in a jar that is specified to be an ejb module in the application.xml of your application are visible to all your ejb modules and web modules; so are the libraries referenced by the Class-Path attribute in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of that ejb jar. If you have connector modules, all jars in the root directory of your .rar file will be available to all modules.
    In a word, the business layer is automatically shared by the web tiers in a j2ee application.

  • 2  Mac's sharing the same itunes library?

    2 Mac’s sharing the same itunes library?
    I would like to use the same existing itunes music folder I have on a external drive, connected to one of my machines?
    I can share without any problem the drive from my laptop and can share/view the other machines itunes music through itunes on my laptop, but can not set the music folder on my laptops Itunes to be the same as on the machine that the external drive is connected to.
    I have heard and seen this operation before but how do I do it ?

    You lost me on which machine is which and where the library is stored. If the library is on an external drive connected to Computer 1 and you want to access it on Computer 2 then:
    1. Connect to computer 1 using the Finder on Computer 2 and mount the external drive
    2. Open iTunes on Computer 2
    3. Select iTunes -> Preferences
    4. Select the Advanced tab
    5. Select Change next to iTunes Music Folder Location
    6. Navigate to the folder where the music is stored.
    7. Quit iTunes
    8. Open iTunes with the OPTION key held down.
    9. When prompted navigate to the Library file on Computer 1.
    That should do it. As always, back up the Library file before you start this process. I would also recommend you back it up regularly as if you have a network issue while accessing the library file remotely, it could corrupt it.

    I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
    My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
    We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
    Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
    In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me  from her, if that makes any sense.
    Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
    Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    MacBook
    I have this question too (0) Reply

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

    No, a Lightroom catalog cannot be on a networked drive, and can only be accessed by a single user at a time.

  • If i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    if i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    Yes, but if you want these devices to have complete capability of calling each other they each must have their own separate, individual e mail address.  If they don't have individual e mail addresses, the i phones will be able to call each other because you'll be using their  individual phone numbers -- the Mac mini will be able to call the i phones, but, the iphones will not be able to call the Mac mini.  This is because the iphones will be using the mini's e- mail address to make the call, and if they have the same e mail address, they will think they are calling themselves, so the call will not connect.
    So, the way I see it is,  if you keep all of the email addresses the same, the only thing you'll loose is the ability of the iphones to call the mini.
    EDIT:  Thinking about it, my first sentence needs to be modified.  Your iphones can share an email address but it must be different from the Mac mini address.
    This isn't rocket science, but it can make your head spin. LOL

    hi, the app is not "shared", it works as if you bought the app twice with different accounts, only you paid it once. they should have 2 different villages since they're on 2 different devices.
