Sync AddressBook between iBook and iMac

Hello everybody,
I am using an iMac and an iBook. On both machines I am using Mail therefore it would be nice to use the addresses which I have already entered into AddressBook iMac at the AddressBook iBook and vise versa.
Exist any tool which will do the job, or can I use the Automator of Tiger?
Kind regards,
Michael

On the iMac:
Open the Sharing preference pane, click on Internet and enable sharing from Internal modem to Ethernet.
In the Sharing preference pane ensure that the firewall is off or enable web sharing.
On the iBook, configure the Network preference pane to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address.

Syncing PDFs between iBooks and iOS devices

Hello everyone,
I just ordered an iPad Air. I wanted one for a long time, and one of the things that I am most after is the ability to read PDF documents anywhere I want. I have been organizing my eBooks and PDFs in iBooks, and I was under the impression that this meant I would be able to see the collection on my iOS devices and download them to those devices when I needed them. But I guess it's not that simple, is it?
As I don't yet have the iPad with me, I have been trying to sync what I see in iBooks to my iPhone 4S, but I only see one mqtching book on both the Mac and the iPhone, and that's one book purchased from iBooks itself. Then there's one free ebook that was also downloaded inside iBooks, from the computer, but does not show in the iPhone. Adding to this, none of the PDFs I have organized inside iBooks will show up on the iPhone.
Am I doing something wrong? Any of you successfuly organizing ebooks and PDFs in iBooks and seeing them on your iOS devices? What should I try?
I'm on the latest Mavericks update and all the mentioned apps are updated. Also, the iPhone is running the latest update of iOS7.
Thank you so much.

Well, nevermind. It suddenly decided to start syncing, somehow! Not sure what I did to make it work though.
Anyway, this is still not what I was expecting. The only way to synchronize what I have in iBooks with the iOS devices, is through iTunes, and I need to be in the same network, right?
I thought this would be something more like iTunes Match, where I could have all my ebooks and PDFs up in the Cloud and download them to my devices whenever I needed them.
Do you know if there's any app providing this type of system?
Thanks a lot.

HT1386 After last syncing between iPad3 and iMac, many books I have purchased have cloud symbol and won't open. Afraid to resync as one very large book didn't sync to iMac and afraid of losing it. How do I get these books back?

1. After my last synching between iPad3 and iMac, most of my downloaded books have a cloud/arrow symbol and won't open. Most PDF files in iBook just disappeared. I am afraid to resync as a book I recently downloaded, which took up a big chunk of my 5GB download limit, doesn't appear on my computer and when I try to sync, I get the message that all my books will be replaced.
2. Is there any way to read the books downloaded to my iPad on my iMac? Can I download an Ap for that?
I am really disappointed in the interface between my iPad and iMac and the fact that I can't selectively delete items (music and photos) that I have synched to the iPad. It seems like Apple if going toward the Microsoft method of trying to do everything for you, rather than allowing the user to manually do things.

In iBooks on the iPad every book you purchased will be on the Purchased Book collection. Those books that you have purchased in the past but for some reason are not actually on your iPad are still available in the bookstore. They will have the cloud symbol on the corner. You can tap on that book to download it again. You will not be charged for doing this.

Synchronize files in iBook and iMac

Is there a program or a process that would allow me to synchronize my word files between my iBook and iMac. Both systems run OS 10.3.7. I use the iBook in the field and the iMac in the office and need to have all my files synchronized in both computers.
ibook Mac OS X (10.3.7)

BenMiami:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If your Word files on one Mac are in the same folder or overall container folder and the same is for the other Mac, you can use a synchronization application like Synk to sync those two container folders. You can have it use the latest version of duplicate files to be the one to be copied to the other Mac in case you use the same file on both Macs. There are a number of options to consider but you can do the job. All you'd need is to connect the two Mac with a ethernet cable or FW cable (Target Mode) and set the two folders to be synced. There are other applications that can to the job but I liked Synk's interface and it was pretty easy and complete. Personal preference.

Simple way of transferring files beween iBook and iMac?

So far, I have burned CDs to transfer files back and forth between the two machines. I also am considering using a portable back up drive.
I'd prefer a simple transfer of files between the machines via fire wire cable!
However, I have been discouraged so far to explore the "networking" solutions further, because of the (for me) complicated protocol and addressing issues in the networking preference panel....
A simple solution would make me happy!
Thanks,
PP

If you boot the iBook into FireWire target disk mode it will act as an external FireWire drive.
Then all you need to do is connect the iBook and iMac with a 6 pin to 6 pin FireWire cable. The iBook will appear on the iMac's desktop as a hard drive. You can then easily drag and drop files between the 2 machines.

Is it possible to sync numbers between iPad and iPhone and mac

Is it possible to sync Numbers between iPhone and iPad and IMac. I work in a school and want to keep test scores for my class in the one place without having to manually update the spreadsheets each time I enter scores.
Thanks in advance
Conor

Yes, Numbers syncs (very well) via iCloud. You need to activate Numbers iCloud sync on all of your devices.
On the Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure Documents & Data is checked. Also click the Options... button next to Documents & Data and check Numbers.app.
On each iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > and turn on Numbers. Also go to Settings > Numbers and turn on Use iCloud.
After you've got things working, it's best to close down the Numbers document on one device before you use it on another.

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
How to do this, without iCloud?

You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want. Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way. While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe.
Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

Hello,
How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
Hope this helps.

Transfer iPhoto between Macbook and iMac

I just managed to transfer my iPhoto contents from MacBook to iMac and thought I would share this.
I needed to do this because my Macbook hard drive is full and I have plenty of space on my iMac.
Connect MacBook and iMac with Ethernet network cable (I found this the fastest way but you may connect via your home network wifi connection as well)
In MacBook, Open Finder and on the left pane under Shared, click on your iMac.
show items as Columns by clicking on third icon on the top pane.
Make a folder somewhere on your iMac by right clicking on white space. (I made a folder under Pictures)
Click on this new folder (which should be second column in the view) and third column will be empty as there are no items in this new folder.
In MacBook, Open iPhoto application, on the left pane click on Photos which will show all your photos in the view.
Now adjust the size of this iPhoto window and above Finder window so you can see them next to each other.
To test, just drag one or two photos from iPhoto window to Finder window in the third column (which is empty as there are no items in this new folder)
If successful, drag other Photos or Videos as required and test by opening this new folder on your iMac. that's it. hope this helps.

I'm afraid your explanation of what you've done is not clear.
Did you copy the Library from one machine to the other?
or
Did you back up the Library to another Library?
The distinction is important:
In your title you ask about
synchronize iphoto between MacBook and iMac...
If you mean one direction copying - that is, backing up Library A to Library B, then you'll have no problems.
However, if you try +bi-directional copying+ - that is changes in Library A reflected in Library B and changes in Library B also reflected in Library B you will corrupt one or both Libraries. No syncing software can parse the Library database to do bi-directional copying.
Is there something not working if you have the iPhoto library stored as a folder instead of a package?
No.
Isn't it easier to have the iPhoto library as a folder instead of a package to synchronize it with another Mac using rsync?
iPhoto is a consumer application designed to be manipulated in the GUI.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
So, by running it as a Folder you facilitate this.

TD

45 min long session of log file sync waits between 5000 and 20000 ms

45 min long log file sync waits between 5000 and 20000 ms
Encountering a rather unusual performance issue. Once every 4 hours I am seeing a 45 minute long log file sync wait event being reported using Spotlight on Oracle. For the first 30 minutes the event wait is for approx 5000 ms, followed by an increase to around 20000 ms for the next 15 min before rapidly dropping off and normal operation continues for the next 3 hours and 15 minutes before the cycle repeats itself. The issue appears to maintain it's schedule independently of restarting the database. Statspack reports do not show an increase in commits or executions or any new sql running during the time the issue is occuring. We have two production environments both running identicle applications with similar usage and we do not see the issue on the other system. I am leaning towards this being a hardware issue, but the 4 hour interval regardless of load on the database has me baffled. If it were a disk or controller cache issue one would expect to see the interval change with database load.
I cycle my redo logs and archive them just fine with log file switches every 15-20 minutes. Even during this unusally long and high session of log file sync waits I can see that the redo log files are still switching and are being archived.
The redo logs are on a RAID 10, we have 4 redo logs at 1 GB each.
I've run statspack reports on hourly intervals around this event:
Top 5 Wait Events
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wait % Total
Event Waits Time (cs) Wt Time
log file sync 756,729 2,538,034 88.47
db file sequential read 208,851 153,276 5.34
log file parallel write 636,648 129,981 4.53
enqueue 810 21,423 .75
log file sequential read 65,540 14,480 .50
And here is a sample while not encountering the issue:
Top 5 Wait Events
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wait % Total
Event Waits Time (cs) Wt Time

log file sequential read 98,310 18,848 5.15
db file scattered read 67,584 2,427 .66
Yes I know I am already tight on I/O for my redo even during normal operations yet, my redo and archiving works just fine for 3 hours and 15 minutes (11 to 15 log file switches). These normal switches result in a log file sync wait of about 5000 ms for about 45 seconds while the 1GB redo log is being written and then archived.
I welcome any and all feedback.

Lee,
log_buffer = 1048576 we use a standard of 1 MB for our buffer cache, we've not altered the setting. It is my understanding that Oracle typically recommends that you not exceed 1MB for the log_buffer, stating that a larger buffer normally does not increase performance.
I would agree that tuning the log_buffer parameter may be a place to consider; however, this issue last for ~45 minutes once every 4 hours regardless of database load. So for 3 hours and 15 minutes during both peak usage and low usage the buffer cache, redo log and archival processes run just fine.
A bit more information from statspack reports:
Here is a sample while the issue is occuring.

Sync config between active and standby CSM

Is there a way to sync config between active and standby CSMs? Just as one that in CSS.
How about two SSL Service module in two different 6500 chassis?
Thanks.

HI,
there is right now no command to commit redundancy between two CSM-Modules. Maybe in the future there will be one. Okay in regards of sync the only way is to check for redundancy is the show mod csm x ft command. But be aware that some slight differences like a real not being in service are sometimes not recognized.
In regards of the SSLModule there is no way as far as I know to sync them. This won't be present in the future in my opinion as there are certificates which require a password or something like that and one won't be able to do redundncy without those passwords. So In my opinion no way to sync two SSL-Module because of security issues.
Kind regards,
Joerg

Syncing styles between Word and RH HTML 7

Question about syncing styles between Word and RH HTML 7.The
printed Word format has Hdr/Ftr, TOC, Title Page stuff.
I understood that, when importing a Word .docx, RH creates
books for Heading 1s and Topic headings are Heading 2. That is why
both Word and RH templates use the same paragraph style names
(though the format in Word/print differs from that in RH/online).
I imported my Word file into a new RH HTML 7 project. The TOC
has the expected books/topics/subtopics. I imported the .css and
the .htt from the RH 5 template project. I selected all 160 topics
in the Topic List pod and applied the corporate .htt template
(Topic Properties > General) AND (to be certain), the corporate
.css stylesheet (Topic Properties . Appearance).
This project doesn't have the same characteristics as the
base/master from RH 5 that uses those same format files. I even
imported the same skin. I get the banner, but not the styles.
All the topic headings in the RH 7 project (were transformed
to) are Heading 1 styles, even though they were Heading 2s in Word.
(this breaks with my tribal knowledge of how RH imports
Books/Topics from a Word doc). The heading colors (navy blue, royal
blue, etc.) have taken on their own definitions--dunno where from,
tho.
Since I'm OCD about creating and using one style for each
type of paragraph (procedurehead, syntax, procnum, procnonum, note,
bullist) in Word or in RH, Peter Grainger's suggestion to "clean
up" styles before importing shouldn't apply.
RH instructions omit any detail about what to specifiy in the
Conversion Options and Split On Style. I took a couple of swipes at
the SOS--OK, split on Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3. So I get
Books for Heading 1, separate topics for Heading 2 and Heading 3,
but the "topic titles" have become Heading 1 in name but not in
format. In fact, the format doesn't match anything I've specified
in Word or RH. I thought by "attaching" the .htt and the .css to
each topic (select all topics, , I'd have the look and feel I
specified in my corporate RH(5) template. The banner imported, the
navigation pane and icons imported. What happened to the styles?
Here's the missing link that someone may need to explain
(explicitly in Help somewhere). When I open the .htt template
(sample topic) that I imported from RH 5, the topic title shows as
Document > Heading 2 > in the Design view. The HTML view
labels this paragraph as h2:
<!doctype HTML public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0

<h2>NameOfPackage: NameOfMethod</h2>

Hi Jim,
Don't know how useful my question is now, given that you posted over a year ago.
Do your RH X5 Word source docs use styles? If so, take a look here, and I detail how I have been able to import from RH X5 for Word to RH 7 HTML. (I'm currently still working on a leftover issue with Keywords and Subkeywords.)
One thing I have done which probably helped: while applying new standards to our documentation, we have removed almost all images (screen shots, etc.), and have only retained those images which don't have a text equivalent. The drastically reduced the import file size of my Word source docs. All my images were referenced via TrueCode, but upon importing to RH 7 HTML, there was so much less to be processed by RH 7 HTML, that the import went much more easily and quickly.
I hope this helps,
Marjorie
