Sync various profiles with different preferences across two computers with one account

For security reasons I added a second firefox profile on my machine for banking, taxes etc with very restrictive permissions.
I set up sync with the new profile and another name in sync preferences (first sync names were 'hostname', I called the new 'hostname'_bank.
Now different settings get mixed up. In my user profile I find settings from my bank-profile, and with my bank-profile user-preferences show up, which is quite annoying.
Any suggestions (except using different accounts)?

Don't sync '''''Preferences''''' in that "bank" Profile.

I want to sync all my mailboxes and preferences between two computers via iCloud

I have created a folders under iCloud ~/Library/Mobile Documents called My iCloud Documents and it works like a charm to sync non-icloud app docs between my iMac & MBP. What I did was creat this folder on both computers and add it to my Favorites in the left column of my finder window, on both computers. Now I can simply save to it or drag & drop docs/files to have access on both.
Note: you should add Mobile Documents folder to your side bar for easy access by creating an alias of Mobile Documents folder and draging it over to the sidebar. Once you have done this you can delete the alias from the ~/Library folder
I would like my MBP to mirror my iMac with my Mail.app, specificly all my non-icloud mail boxes and folders and also the preferences...
On My iMac:
1) duplicate the files/folders so I have a backup on the iMac
2) create aliases of the original files/folders and leave in place
3) move the copied files/folders to my newly created ~/LibraryMobile Documents/My iCloud Documents/Synced Mail Stuff
4) rename the files/folders so I dont overwrite them on the MBP
5) create aliases of the files/folders that are now syncing on the MBP in the ~/LibraryMobile Documents/My iCloud Documents/Synced Mail Stuff
6) create the aliases and move them to the appropriate location on the MBP
This is where I am stuck, if there is anything in the files or folders on the MBP that I need... how would I then be able to access it for syincing?
I guess I can export and then import once I complete my syncing...
Any help would be great on this matters!

This does not work. I tried to move the folders to the iCloud folder leaving the Alias, but the system only recreated the mailboxes in the proper place. Still looking for help on how to achieve this task.

I am using Sync to merge all my bookmarks across my computers. One MacBook is set to Dutch language, my work MacBook Pro is set to English language - is there a way to prevent double instances for 'Most viewed' (it's both in Dutch & English)

Sync should kind merge these two automatically. Right? :)

iPhoto is a consumer based software thus very limited, likely to about 10,000 is reasonable before performance starts to degrade as it lumps and loads everything at once.
You sorely need Aperture or Lightroom which has much better support for managing your huge library into managable chunks.
Also you should be looking at using a external hardware based RAID 0 as a working/speed drive in addition to several clones of the data on other drives.
Most commonly used backup methods
something like this on a fast connection, two 7,200 drives working together gives great drive performance.

If your going to be creating addiitonal large amounts of photo's, you likely should be looking at a RAID 5 setup with spare drives.

Technical question: Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

Technical question:
Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers. I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

Why the **** can I only sync my phone with one itunes program. Perhaps I have two computers with music on them that i'd like to add to my iphone,ipad,itouch,ipod. Fix this please thanks.

Becasue that is the way the ****** iphone is designed.
You can only sync with one ******computer.
There is nothing to ****** fix.
It is the ****** design of the iphone. It is ****** by design.

Is it possible to Have a Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet?

Is it possible to Have a Elements 12 Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet? I have a laptop I use in the Field when I take pictures and a Desktop at my house that I use to Edit the Photos. I would like the Catalog Synced across both computers. IE I download pictures from the Camera onto the laptop and they automatically sync over to the desktop then when I edit the pictures on the Desktop they go back to the laptop.
Is this possible?
What would I need to have it work?

You could put the pictures in the field on your laptop
Send them to Dropbox from your laptop
At home, when you are on the desktop, access the pictures from Dropbox and put them in a folder of choice
Enhance the pictures in PSE, then send them to a destination folder, to preclude overwriting the orginals
Populate the organizer from the destination folder
This requires that you install Dropbox (free, with quite a bit of storage) on both machines. I have the app on my ipad as well, and it synchs perfectly (no catalog, however).
One advantage to this type of work-flow would be that you can get rid of the non-keepers and save the pictures that you fixed at home, prior to any organizer machinations. The old axiom: It's a virtue to be selective.

Synchronize Mail Across Two Computers

Hey everyone!
I have two iMacs running 10.5.7 with Apple Mail set to download email from my own domain with a POP server. I have a gigabytes of locally stored mail that I would like to have synchronized to another, iMac also running 10.5.7. I don't have the option of IMAP, but even if I did, the gigabytes of saved mail would go over my quota.
I tried using Live Mesh, but it does not support files in the /library directories, and MobileMe does not support IMAP/POP accounts.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!

there is no good way to keep POP mail synced across two computers. one time syncing is possible by exporting a mail archive and moving it to another computer but it's not something you want to do on a regular basis. the best i can suggest is to check the option in mail preferences->accounts->advanced to keep messages on the server after retrieval. this way you can download them to both computers.

I have two computers with home sharing on, but I can't transfer music. What do I do?

What do you mean by "won't pick up the songs"?
You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage mauic and videos among different computer by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
You can transfer iTunes purchases to a computer by:

Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

Hi, is the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

Problems sharing across two computers on home lan

I must be doing something basic wrong. The instructions for sharing a downloaded digital edtion sound very easy in the help manual but following those directions I am not able to share a book across two computers on my home lan.
Both computers have been authorized by my user id. When I open the menu item on Library menu/Authorize computer
I'm told the computer is authorized and my UID is shown. However when I attempt to `add' the book I get a message saying:
> This document cannot be opened on this machine.
> Please contact the site where you obtained the document
> to download another copy.
I just bought the book today not more than 2 hrs ago
The `knowledgbase' help for digital editions is completely useless and returns no hits regardless of what I type in the search field.
What else do I need to do to share a book across two home computers?

Harry
You shouldn't need anything else. The common problems (after you have gotten past the authorization) for sharing are:
- You copy over the .etd file instead of the .pdf file.
- You copy over the .pdf file from /Digital Editions/ebx_backup instead of /Digital Editions. (My best guess, given the error message).
- The file was purchased with only rights to view it on a single machine.
The not so common and more worrisome case would be if the License was not being correctly written into the file after you purchase it.
I would suggest that after verifying you are copying the correct file, you should open up a web support case, so that Bentley can track this, and help us gather all the correct information so we can figure out what is going on.
Sorry you're having problems

PLEASE HELP. Two computers with the same External IP Address

I have two computers with the same IP address which is causing problems. I tried to ipconfig/release ipconfig/renew but I get the error "No operation can be performed on a Local Area Connection* 11 while it has its media disconnected.
I tried resetting router/modem, made sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" are all enabled. DHCP is enabled.
Two of the computers have the same one and the other IP is completely different (not 1 or 2 off). When I open the router settings and click DHCP Reservation it shows the IPs 1 number off and all different like you said. i.e ***.***.*.106, ***.***.*.107,
***.***.*.108. But with the proxy service I'm using, when trying to allow each computer to use them it shows different IP addresses than what is shown in the DHCP Reservation.
If I clone my MAC address the identical IP of the two computers changes but they'll still share the same IP. The third doesn't change.
I tried ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew - ipconfig /flushdns nothing yet. Not sure about your #2 and #3. And I just updated my firmware.
Anyone with expertise? Thanks.

Cyber_Defend_Team and ZigZag3143x I powered down all three computers and turned off/reset the modem and router.
I restarted them one by one and after, the two computers with the conflicting IP address changed their IPs but their IPs are still conflicting. The third computers IP stayed the same.
What else can we do?

The Early 2011 MacBook Pro shipped with Snow Leopard, so these are not the Mac App Store versions of iLife, they are the boxed software versions.
If they are in an iWork '09 folder take them out and let them loose in the Apps folder. Then reindex your HDD.
