Sharing/working on the same files?

Sorry if this is rookie question, but I'm in the US and my buddy's in Scotland. Is there a way we can share GB files, work on them and send them to each other?
I guess simultaneous recording is out of the question...
thanks in advance.
Jon

Assuming you have the same version of GB, yes.
A couple of other considerations would be the same Software instruments, same loops, and same effects, if you've added something that the other doesn't have.
You can get around the loop issue by using the Save As and Archive feature, but if you use Software Instruments or Effects that don't come standard with GB, you need to both have them installed.
If you're both using standard installs, then there is no issue.

  • Stoping people working on the same file on RAID

    Is there anyway to stop or warn two people that accidentally open and work on the same file on a Xserve RAID. Some applications like Quark and Word have this feature built in. If I open and work on a Freehand MX or Photoshop CS file there is no warning to say that someone may also have this file open. Obviously the last save by either party will overstrike the other person work.
    Many thanks
    Andy

    The Xserve RAID is connected to a Xserve via Apple Fibre Channel card, which is connected to a AIT-3 tape library for backup. This is all running off of a APC smart UPS. The studio workstations are connected via gigabit copper switch. I share the RAID via AFP, but it does not seem to have any options in the sharing section of workgroup manager to enable locking of files when they are open. Two people had the same Freehand MXa file open and were both working on the file independently, one must have saved closed the file down and the other person carried on working. Of the course the first person opened the file again and was shocked to see it was totally different to how he had left it.
    I'm running Panther server and most of the studio workstations are still on panther. I'm aware that Freehand MXa is a carbonized application therefore it has not been natively written for MAC OS X.
    Hope I have explained myself and it makes some sort of sense.
    Many thanks

  • 2 computers at home working with the same files i keep on an external hard drive to free up space the internal drives. I have an airport extreme time capsule to back up both computers. how can i get it to back up the hard drive plugged into time capsual?

    I want to run both my macbook pro and imac from a single external hard drive.
    i bought a time capsual and set it us as my network and plugged my external hard drive into it. so now both my computers can access it and work on the same image and film files. the time capsual does a lovely job of backing up both my computers and my wifes. but i cant get it to back up the external hard drive that is conected to it. ive looked on the forum and it seems to me that its not possible, which seems odd to me that mac would enable you to plug a hard drive into the time capsual but not let you back it up, what is the point in that!?
    so my question is can i back up the external hard drive with time machine, and if not how do i set up my home network so that all my computers can access the same files and time machine will back everything up?
    I did the upgrade to maverics on my imac which has caused me a major headache as now all my apature albums have been updated to 3.5.1 but my macbook pro can no longer open them because im unable to upgade it to maverics, but thats another story.
    If anyone can help me with my time machine issue i would be very greatful.

    The TC for whatever it is promoted as,, is still a simple hard disk in a router. It was designed for laptops to use as a backup. A desktop can use a USB drive, faster cheaper and more reliable than a network drive but the laptops need a network wireless storage. Hence the TC. It is NOT nor was it ever designed to do the job you are trying to use it for.. it is not a NAS.. it has no internal backup.
    What is more Time Machine has no ability to backup network drives no matter what their format.
    So the solution is to either use a real backup software.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner which can do far more than TM can or ever will. It is around $40 so hardly expensive. But since the TC was never designed for it, this will be slow.. and the next question is where are you going to back to. Using the TC as backup location for your files is less than great. Primarily because all your files are still on the same device albeit on different disk. It is also because mixing data and TM backups is not so great. The TC cannot be partitioned although you can alleviate some of the issues..
    See this info.
    Q3 here http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Let me go back to the question.
    so my question is can i back up the external hard drive with time machine, and if not how do i set up my home network so that all my computers can access the same files and time machine will back everything up?
    Fundamentally the TC is the wrong place to do this.
    The right place is to plug the USB drive into the iMac.. since it is a desktop machine and you are probably not lugging it around. Simply share the USB drive to the network.
    The MBP can then access the USB drive, and it will be around twice the speed of networking to the same drive on the TC. TM on the iMac can then also backup the USB drive to the TC as part of the normal TM backups.
    The only thing is the iMac needs to be turned on to allow MBP access.

  • Is it possible to work on the same files/catalog from two different computers?

    My wife and I are photographers and work on two separate iMacs.  We just purchased an NAS and would like to know if we can both access the same files AND the Lightroom catalog from our respective computers.  All of the files are on the NAS but I can't figure out how to get her computer to recognize the catalog.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    -Brent

    Another option, since you already have the nas, is to get something like "Synchronize! Pro X",and use the nas to transfer the catalog back and forth.  You don't have to USB the catalog, just transfer it to the nas each time you are done, and before you start...
    Of course, I think both solutions are based on you not editing at the same time... i.e., both of you are making changes, as neither approach will work for that!
    Cheers!

  • How can we enable multiple people to work on the same Xcelsius file

    I want to enable multiple people work on the same file as I am working on. How Can I achieve this task?

    Hi Jain,
    I dont think there is a logic behind your requirement.  If multiple persons are allowed to work on one file, then whose modification has to get saved as a final copy.  Even in MS office documents also, you will be notified/prompted if you are opening at the same time some one else is already working on the same.  Please clarify your requirement more.
    If i presume that if you are talking about the Xcelsius output file such as word, pdf, etc.,. then it is clear that all can open the same file in read only mode except the one who is opening the same First.  Anyhow they cannot modify the SWF contents.  Only header or footer can be inserted.
    Hope this is clear.  Please revert on your exact requirement.
    With best wishes
    BaaRaa.

  • Multiple users working in the same document and same time.

    Hello Guys,
    and thanks for looking into this
    At our company we're still in doubt wether or not to update our software to CC or just update to CS6. Currently we all have different versions (going from CS3 to CS5), and that's really time-consuming.
    The most important question would be if it is possible in the CC to work in the same file at the same time.
    Working on magazines, catalogues or books this would be a major time-saving option!
    For example I could work on chapter 1 and 6, whilst my collegues are working on the other chapters.
    The other users could then see how far I am on my chapters, change things (make notes) etc.
    Is this possible in CC or not?
    Thanks for your answers and time.
    Best regards,
    Sam
    PS: If there are major setbacks working on the cloud (between multiple users/computers) please let us know.

    Let me attempt an answer.
    Short answer, no. Multiple users cannot edit a the same file at the same time.
    You'll need a content management system, to enable check in/check out, prevent overwrites etc. But (there's always a but), Creative Cloud offers several workflows and tools that can be used to help streamline multi-user publication workflows.
    Using Creative Cloud will ensure that all users will be on the same version of the software, and there won't be any accidental lockouts due to format changes, and no need to run arounf to get the document downsaved. All users also have access to the latest features as soon as they become availble.
    For products, such as books and magazines: InDesign needs to be the primary software that you use. When you design the content architecture of your publication, you can employ the following techniques and tools:
    Break up your publications into several INDD files, let's say for file for each story.
    Compile the individual files into an InDesign book.
    Link Ps and Ai or other files when you place them in the InDesign layout. That way whenever a designer updates an asset, InDesign will notify you that a linked file has changed and you can choose to update the link.
    InCopy was recently added to the Creative Cloud. Authors can can edit stories without actually having to open the InDesign files. For details see the InCopy help. InCopy has several workflows that can help out in this kind of setup.
    Other than the Creative Cloud apps, you'll also need to setup folder and directory structures on the shared storage location.
    Setup a shared location/drive so that all users have access to the linked files.
    Control read/write access to individual files using the OS commands on the file directory/server. For example, Layout designers only have edit permissions on the layout (indd files); while Photographers can only edit .psd files, and so on. For small teams this might not be necessary, but for larger teams this may help.
    You could also consider storing your files using a Content Management System. You'll need to evaluate the cost and benefits properly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Corrupting files when 2 premiere stations accessing the same file

  • Mac on Windows SMB Share- IDLK files disappearing allowing several users to access the same file

    Hi,
    We have a volume licensing agreement with Adobe and have around 16 Adobe CS6 licenses all used on Macs. The network is based around Windows servers and shares which the Macs connect to via an SMB connection to the server. The issue we're having is that when an InDesign file is opened, sometimes it will not create an IDLK file (or sometimes it will create one but it will disappear seconds later) and it allows several people to view the same file at the same time. Obviously two or more people working on the same file can, will and has caused issues with overwriting documents without knowledge of doing so.
    Has anyone else encountered this or have any ideas as to what might help us resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    When you open a file from a previous version (you'll see converted in
    the file name) there is no CS6 file in existence, yet. Once the file is
    saved as a CS6 file, the lock file is created. The whole procedure is
    designed so that you must make a fully conscious decision to overwrite
    the old version file with a new one.
    This is no different than creating a new document that hasn't been saved
    yet.

  • The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file.  Does Snow Leopard Server File Sharing (AFP) provide similar features?

    The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file.  Does File Sharing (AFP) on Snow Leopard Server provide similar services?

    Were you ever able to solve this problem. I'm having similar issues since upgrading to snow leopard. Four macs connect to a Windows Server 2003 for shared files. Each user has full permissions & when we "get info" it shows read & write permissions. Two of the computers were running 10.4, two were running 10.5. Everything worked properly until upgrading to snow leopard. Some files let me copy, move, delete. Others either just hang up or we get a "no permission" error. Also getting a "pdf is in use" error, even when the file/folder doesn't contain a pdf. We had our IT rep check the server who said everything is in working order. They don't represent macs any longer but feel that it's a mac problem. I would have to agree since this problem only started after the upgrade, and the one machine that was not upgraded (still running 10.5.8) is not dealing with these problems.
    Lastly, I would install 10.5 back on all of the computers if I could, but the leopard disk that came with one of the computers wouldn't work with the 2 machines running 10.4 and I didn't see it available at the apple store. I'll buy it if it's still available, but why wouldn't the disks that I have work?
    Thanks for any help

  • When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

    When I try to save an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

  • Can home sharing function work in the same school wifi environment?

       I'm wondering can I use home sharing function on campus (same building, same school wifi) between two mac (mac mini & macbook pro)? I truned on both home sharing funciton using the same Apple ID, but it didn't work. Does it mean I cannot use this function in school? If it's workable, how should I do?

    That is really crappy. Oh well thank you

    Hi Tracie,
    I upgraded to Maverick OS X 10.9.5, numbers spreadsheet is saved. Upon re-opening, it appears to be frozen, a warning "file is invalid as index.xml file is missing". I checked, and the file is not "locked". This appears to occur only with using the new numbers app. When I open previous spreadsheets from old iWorks, no such problem occurs.
    How did you resolve your problem?
    Would appreciate any help here.

  • OSB File polling working twice with the same file

    I have a problem executing a proxy service that get files from a file system. Everything in the flow works as expected, but at a certain point I must wait an update on a database and the process awaits for that change. Everthing goes normal if the update comes within the next 1-7 minutes, but after that if the process is still there(generally 9-11 minutes), a second process is called and the file processed is the same. After the first process is called the folder is empty so I can not understand why the proxy is called again with the same file, since there is nothing on the folder. This can happen since I am doing database modifications.
    The process is only invoked twice with the same file, no process is called again(A Third one) if the two processes are still working, wich is weird. since nothing in my proxy logic returns to the beginning.
    Does "Weblogic/OSB" tends to free resources on a specified time, such as "Max Stuck Thread Time" but for files or other resources?
    Any ideas why this is happening
    Thanks in advance.

    I think this is due to transaction timeout. The PolledMessageListenerMDBEJB under File Transport provider has a transaction timeout of 10 minutes. So if you are having a very long running transactions which spans more than the 10 minutes, you might see the rollback happening due to timeout.
    To confirm is this is the case, when this issue occurs, Go to JMS Modules >jmsResources >wlsb.internal.transport.task.queue.file_auto_n >Monitoring. You should see messages in messages pending column.
    click Show Messages. Click on a message and check Delivery count. This should have a value 1 or more which should mean message has been rolled back atleast once before.
    if it is the case you can try modifying the transaction timeout value of PolledMessageListenerMDBEJB under File Transport provider in deployments and then update the file transport provider deployment. Parallely check with support on what is the official recommendation for increasing timeout.

  • Linking Questions cs5: Linking within the Same file, Sharing links, file size bloat

    I have to make print cards for my job. Print cards being a 1 page version of the Larger package layout that the place I work manufactures. On this print card is a section for customer info on top, and the print representation on the bottom. What I've been doing is using two files. The first file is the full-scale art on one artboard, and the customer info on the second artboard, but both within one file.
      On the second file, I combine the two. I still use two artboard because it's a front and back print-off. The front page (1st art board, 2nd file), is the customer info at the top (linked from the 2 art board, 1st file) and the full art shrunk to fit below (also linked).  the back page (2nd art board, 2nd file) is the individual elements of the artwork, zoomed in for easier viewing. For the second page, I use masked links from the fullsize art, sized appropriately. The reason it's important that they all use links, is so if I update the art, it will update the print cards as well.
      I've been trying to stream-line this process. This works ok, but the numerous links bloat the file size, and I have to email these to customers. I've started using "Flatten Transparency" on all my Print cards (2nd file) and saving it as a separate .pdf. This cuts out the links, but then all of my masked images are hiding the whole original file behind their mask. So then I started manually cropping each individual masked area, which helps, but once I've gone through this whole process, I don't think I've saved any of the time my template was supposed to save.
    file://localhost/Users/troubleinthemaking/Desktop/PRINT%20MINI%20EXAMPLE.pdf
      My questions are these:
    Is there any way to link to elements within the same file? Like from a different artboard?
      I've successfully 'Placed' an artboard from the same file, back into that file (but a different artboard), but this creates a never-ending Save/Update loop. I'd like a better way to do this.
    Is there a way to have all instances of a linked file, draw from the same place? i.e. When you update a single link, all instances of that Link would update. plus this would, in theory, cut down on the file size.
    Is there any way to automatically have every masked link crop itself after using the flatten transparency command?
      Even if I had to select them first. I haven't had any luck selecting them all and then using the pathfinder crop tool. I've had to do each one individually.
    I know this last one can't really be answered without seeing everything on my machine. I don't even know what info I'd need to give...
    WHY MY FILE SIZE SO BIG!
    Thanks ahead of time.
    -Jefferson

    Jefferson:
    There's a few things you can do to make your files smaller, such as using the Action "Delete All Unused Panel Items" which will removed all unused Symbols, Graphic Styles, Brushes and Swatches from your Illustrator files. Those little items add up to bloating a file.
    You also need to examine the images that you place into your Illustrator file. Any unnecessary layers or channels? Can the files be flattened before being placed in Illustrator? You can always keep a "working" Photoshop file of all that extra goobledeegook and then flatten the file and do a "Save As" and place that in the Illustrator file. And that could be a Photoshop EPS saved with a TIFF Preview and JPEG Encoding (Maximum Quality), which will save some MBs.
    But, you should never sacrifice file size for quality. If these files are going to print, you should be using an FTP program to transfer the files and not email them. Email should not be used for files over 5 MB. If all you want to do is send the customer a Low Resolution PDF Proof for approval via Email, that's fine and dandy, but send the final large size files to the Printer via FTP.
