Transfer/copy photos with edits to another computer or harddrive

Hi,
How can I make this process work?
1. My partner and I both have lightroom : she's on a PC and me on a Mac.
2. We both take photos together at a shoot.
3. We then go back, make edits to our own photos.
4. Then we need to share them with eachother in order to make a contact sheet that contains both our edited photos.
ANy ideas?
We were trying to use an external hard drive and then importing them to the other's machine, but I cannot find a way to export the files with the edits. Should I export a catalog based on a selection of photos? Would she be able to import these into her library with deleting her own photos?
Anybody in the same situation?
Thanks,
Nicole

I want to expand a bit on this topic. I've got 3 production computers and two laptops; sometimes I need my assitant to work on some things while I work on stuff (or I'll need to work on them remotely via laptop). So, my thought is to put my catalog on my 2 TB networked server. Then have either the Mac, or 2 PC's (or download the catalog to the laptops) to be able to open it. How efficent is LR2 in working across a network AND...
What about images that are on the network server. Can LR2 work effectively with that? My production boxes are exactly that production computers... the serer is where I store my images (and backup on another system/series of removeable HD's. Which I'd love to have that linked in one master LR catalog.
I almost want to ask Matt K. or Scott K. this question... they work with tons of photos all the time.

How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

Do you want to transfer the entire library? If so just connect the two Macs together and copy the iPhoto Library from Mac A to Mac B and put it in your Pictures folder. Be sure to rename it if you already have a library in the destination folder so as not to overwrite.
Under no circumstances should you import a library into another library.

How do I copy Camera RAW defaults to another computer?

I use Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Camera RAW to process RAW files (D700). I have ACR preferences set to make the defaults ASA specific, which means I have 41 defaults for ACR. I have a folder of images shot with the D700 that includes one image for each ASA the camera can select when auto ASA is activated in the D700, that's where I get 41 ASA values. I use the images in this folder to set a default for each ASA value and then select one at a time in Camera RAW and click to set a new default for ACR (Adobe Camera RAW). These defaults are saved in some location on the computer, but I don't know where. I would like to copy these saved defaults to another computer that is also running Photoshop CS6. Does anyone know where the defaults are located, or is there a better way to accomplish this task?

If I understand what you said, I think this will only save RAW Defaults for that specific image conditions. I have the RAW converter set to make it specific to image ASA and for the D700 it can set 41 different ASA values for the image. I have 41 Camera RAW Defaults for the D700 and would like to transfer all to the second computer, that's the reason I am looking for options to accomplish this task.
I have a folder with 41 D700 NEF files with each having a different ASA value. I select this folder of images in Camera RAW, adjust each image to the defaults I want - the main difference is noise settings. When I have the settings I want, I click the Done button. I then open the images again in Camera RAW, select one at a time and select the "Save New Camera Raw Defaults". Now when I open new NEF files for the D700 it will automatically apply the Default I want based on the image ASA.
I currently copy the folder with the 41 images that was saved with the defaults I want and open them one at a time and save a new default on the second computer. If I copy the "Camera RAW" folder it should give me all the same defaults, custom camera profiles, custom curver, settings, etc.
I have not tried this yet, but if it works it will save a lot of time keeping the two computers in sync relative to these parameters.

How Can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer

How can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer without connecting the two

As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.

I want to transfer my entire itunes account to another computer. how can i get all of the music i put on my computer on a new computer?

So my family had a computer that kept all of the songs and videos on it for itunes. how can i transfer all of that data to another computer and put that new computer as our home computer for the home itunes computer? please help me. i have been trying to figure this out for 2 months now.

open itunes on the new computer and go to the itunes store
make sure you are signed in with the apple id of whoever purchased all of music from the itunes store
on the right hand side of the itunes store home page, under quick links click 'purchased'
you will be able to download anything you have previously purchased for free

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

Code in a domain file - really? That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08? If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

Thanks; however, I was really referring to this: if it is preinstalled on a Mac, I believe the license is for that computer only (unlike an MAS purchased version which can be used on any Mac owned). Has that requirement changed?
At this moment, that's correct. The OS X license included with a Mac can only be used with that Mac. However, in the case the OP has purchased OS X Mountain Lion in the past, this may change

When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around.

How do i transfer my edits to another computer

i have transferred my music by copying and pasting the entire itunes folder onto the hard drive of another computer and importing it into itunes there
how do i transfer the edits in comments and groupings, playlists, ratings, etc
or is there another way to pick up all the songs and tranfer them with edits ?

First, when you say "Store" you mean the "Store" option on the menu bar not the iTunes Store in the source menu. And if you want to transfer music from computer to computer its harder than just authorising the new computer. You have to transfer the files manually. I do hope you have an external HDD or a FireWire 400 cable (if you have two Macs). Basically copy and paste the iTunes folder (not the iTunes Music folder) onto the external HDD and from the HDD to the other computer. If its a Mac make sure that its in the Music folder. Open iTunes with the option key down and click Choose Library. Navigate to the Music folder and select the iTunes folder.

Can I open a E-book, which is linked with Adobe Digital Editions On another computer of Mine?

I Have an Ebook, Which can be opened only by using Adobe Digital Editons,
Thus, i downloaded the adobe digital Editons, and authorised it without Adobe id and Passdode..
But now, i found out that i cant open the file in another computer of mine...Is there a possibility for me to open the ebook in another computer of mine
Any Help is appericiated...Thanks in advance :

You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
