SOLVED: How to move XFCE4 config between computers

Hi
In a severely optimistic moment I decided to create identical XFCE configs on my laptop and desktop computers, by copying my desktop ~/.config/xfce4 directory to the same location on my laptop. I assumed this would work, but now my panel application launchers, while showing up on the panel, are all broken. They contain no information about the linked application.
Both my desktop and laptop have the same apps and are running XFCE and Arch.
Any ideas how I can copy my XFCE desktop/panel from one computer to another? Especially how do I fix my launchers without having to manually recreate all of them?

How do i move adobe licences between computers

I need to move adobe versions between computers, can I uninstall and re install on the computers I need using the same serial numbers?
Also Can I also have a record from adobe of what our organisation has purchased?

You will have to manually transfer the files from one computer to the other using whatever method is easiest for you. (network, DVD, CD, hard drive) Or, put files on network drive. That's what I do.

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

Help me understand how to move pdf's between iPad and MacBook.

I use the iPad 2 as a electronic reader of research articles. When reviewing this material I desire to keep the annotations I make to the pdf via the PDFReader app. I review enough material that I need the MacBook as a storage space. But I haven't been able to figure out how to move pdf's that I've made annotations to, to the MacBook while maintaining the annontations I've made. These annotations are maintained while the file is stored on the iPad.
It seems as though for files not generated by Numbers, Keynote, or Pages the iCloud sharing of files between devices is a bit of a gimmick. I'm using Mountain Lion and iOS 5.1.1. Suggestions???

Yes, if you drag from the iPhoto Window to the desktop you’re getting the current (edited) version of the pic. You’re also missing any added metadata, such as keywords etc.
Yes, when you import to the other library you are missing the original file too.
The only way to move pics/albums/Events (including metadata) between Libraries (and all versions) is with iPhoto Library Manager.

How to synch app tab between computers

How do I get my pinned app tabs to synch between computers?

This is what the Adobe help file says about syncing site settings: (http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/synchronizing-dreamweaver-settings-creative-cloud .html)
Site settings: All site settings (except username and password) are synchronized between computers running on the same operating system. username and password cannot be synchronized.
The path and name of the local site folder is synchronized if a folder with the same name exists in the same path.
If a site does not exist on a machine, Dreamweaver creates a new site folder in the default location and all the paths are relative to this folder. You can change this path at any point in time. For all subsequent synchronizations, only the changes in the site folder are synchronized.
The only point here I can see thats might be relevant is "running on the same operating system". Are your two installs of DW CC on the same operating system?

How to move photo's between libraries?

I have been moving photos from one library to another by dragging them to the desktop from a library and then using the Import command to place them in the new library. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere as a way to move photo's between libraries. I didn't use the Export command simply because it was easier not to. The new library works ok, but did I lose something by using this method? When I use my method, I am only copying the edited version but not the "original" photo that may be in the library. Therefore, I don't have the original in the new library if I need it. This is ok since I no longer need the original. Do I understand this correctly. I would appreciate any explanation about this so.
I am using iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5.

Move iweb file between computers

I created a blog website on my laptop and now want to move those files to my iMac. How do I do that?

The file you need to move to the other computer is names Domain.sites2 and is located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
If you play on switching computers frequently to maintain the site this online MacWorld article might be of interest to you: Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.

Move edited photos between computers

I often edit photos on my Mac Air using aperture while on road. Once home, I need to move those edited photos to my IMAC. How can i move the photos from the Mac Air to the IMAC - retaining the original photos and edited versions?

If you're using Aperture in both locations, then typically you would export the project containing the new files from your MacBook Air and copy it to your iMac, where you would then import it.
Aperure supports this, but you need some sense of sanity about how you do it. If you're editing photos all the time in libraries that started the same on both machines, you won't be able to merge/reconcile the effort.

How to move/share photos between libraries?

I recently learned how to create a new iphoto library (in addition to my default library) so I can organize my photos into distinct groups. I would like to move some photos from the original library to the new one. How do I do this?
Thank you!
CJ

You can move the photo by exporting it from one library, switching to the second library and importing it- this will not keep faces or all metadata - the best solution to managing multiple libraries is iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - If you want or need multiple libraries it is a great $20 investment

[solved] How does Pacman handle config files?

Hi,
I've read that Pacman handles config files by comparing their hashes in 3 different statuses.
(which are in current status, new status, and original status)
The current config file's hash is easily obtained, and so does the new ones'.
But how does Pacman get the original one's hash?
Can someone tell me, please?
Thank you, and happy new year,

It is stored in the pacman database. e.g. look at /var/lib/pacman/local/pacman-3.2.1-2/files

How do you sync files between computers

I want to sync files between Macbook Pro (2011) and IMac. File structure for Pictures needs to be Identical, not sure what is best method. Do not want to try until I have a good plan.
Ashleyriverman

Hello AshleyRiverman,
It sounds like you have a directory of folders that contain photos in a specific organization that you want to copy to another computer. You can enable File Sharing to be able to access the photos from one computer on another, and even allow the viewing computer to be able to add photos or delete them, thereby keeping them the same across both computers. This article will help you get that set up and configure the permissions for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How to move master files between projects (within Aperture)

I've imported 6,000 files into Aperture - all into one project, imaginatively named "Photos". Since I imported from a directory structure, underneath this Photos project is a nice structure of folders and albums organising my photos as I did on my hard disk. (I imported references, and then relocated the actual files on disk to a new structure based on year-month-day, ready for amalgamation with 4,000 other photos from iPhoto. So the original disk structure no longer exists.)
Since 6,000 files are too many for one project, I want to split this project into many. I've created some new top-level projects, such as "Macro" and "Flowers", and I now want to move the relevant masters into those projects.
From what I've read, it seems the only way to do so is to drag images from the top level project - certainly when I drag from the albums, only the versions move. But with 6,000 images at the top level, this reorganisation is going to be slow and tedious, and not take advantage of the organisation I'd already done in my folder structure.
Is there anyway to copy from an album, but to move the version's master to the new project too? I've tried option and alt-copying, but it doesn't seem to work.
...Jane

As you said, you can only move masters from project level, won't work if you are in an album. To help you find and select the images you want to move you can use keywords.
For example let's say you want to move all the images you have in the project 'photos' within the album 'macro' to a new project called 'macro'.
Go to the album called 'macro' and select all the images. At the bottom of the browser you have the keyword controls, if you can't see it press shift+d to show them. You can create a temporary keywords group to help you classified the images by project, in this case we create a keyword named 'macro' and apply to all the images within this album.
Now go to the project 'photos' and on the top right of the browser enter the word you wanna look for, in this case macro. Select all those images and drop them to the new project 'macro'. They will be moved.
