Transfering and opening files between two rooms

Hey guys,
Hope everyone is having a good week. This is an odd one. Just started on this most recent film...
We have two rooms that are identical to eachother, purpose being that themes can be written in one room, and then smaller cues can be assembled from these themes in the other room. We normally transfer cues between the two rooms over our network. This system has worked fairly well for quite some time. But recently, we've experienced odd issues.
We'll call the main room "A", and the second room "B".
If a cue gets copied from A to B, and it has Stormdrum in it, when playback is started, a loud high pitched buzz comes from the Stormdrum channel. The only thing that fixes this is taking out the Stormdrum, saving, closing Logic, restarting Logic, opening the cue, and then reinstantiating Stormdrum and it's multi preset. The buzz thing is weird.
If a cue gets copied from B to A, and it has Kontakt 2 in it, while the cue is loading, the following error message is displayed:
"Kontakt 2: Error parsing input file at line 522"
Never seen that one before. I am going to try repairing and verifying permissions, and see if that helps. Maybe a little zapping of the PRAM?
Any suggestions? Anyone know what error parsing input file means? That's a new one. And why all of the sudden would Logic have a problem with copied sessions between the two rooms? The last film was so smooth, no errors, no copying problems. It was so nice. Now we're back to kooky error messages and buzzing plugins.
Many many thanks as always.

Anyone have an idea what these error messages mean?
"File is busy; one or more files are open
Result code = -47"
"Fade Update Failed
(Error -47)"
Ok, there are two issues here, which may or may not be related.
The first is the NI issue (is it just the NI plugs (Kontakt, Intakt, Kompakt) that are giving you these errors btw, or do you get similar funky behaviour on non-NI stuff?)
The second is almost certainly a permissions problem.
Those two errors are indicating the same thing - that the file write failed. This could indicate that Logic didn't have the correct permissions when trying to write to the disk, or that it was trying to overwrite a file that it didn't have the permissions to overwrite - for example when using crossfades, Logic writes out the little overlapped transitions as fade files, and needs to refresh them under certain conditions (like, when you changed some fade settings, or you first hit play, when Logic updates the fades before playback etc).
Permissions can be a pain, or they can be easy to deal with. I would suggest you have a look at the main song folders and do a get-info in the finder, and have a look at whether your user has permissions to overwrite them - you can change the permissions back to your user and "apple to enclosed" to reset all the permissions on the current folder down (recursively).
This is primarily to do with writing files BTW, rather than reading them, so if you are writing things anywhere else, such as settings files, audio files, and so on, take a look at the permissions of their locations as well.
Also, you might want to try running a "repair permissions" from disk utility, as sometimes things can go a little screwy.
If you really get problems, sometimes there can be some odd stuff going on with your user account on your Mac, so if things get bad, it's often worth checking whether you still get the same behaviour when logged in as another user (this is a last resort step, as you'll probably need to reinstall or move some stuff, depending on how you set your machines up.)
The NI think might be a little more tricky, as NI stuff still has some, er, "colorful" behaviour on Macs, although it's much better than it used to be. I'd probably run some tests of some sample new songs, moving the files to the other room and opening them up - do they always give the errors you are seeing, or is it only on some songs? Do they error when only using single instances, or only multiple instances of the plugs? That kind of thing.
Also, try these tests after you looked at the permissions stuff, because the two problems may be related, with the NI stuff not being able to load or access certain files giving random problems - I'm not saying that's what it is, but it's worth checking on the offchance...

How to drag and drop files between two JFileChooser

Sir i want to drag and drop files between two JFileChooser i don't know how to do that. So is there any reference code for that so that i can able to do it. I have enabled setDragEnabled(true) for both the jfilechooser now i don't now how to drop files in them means drag file from one jfilechooser and drop it to another JFileChooser,.
Plz help me this is the requirement in my project.

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Working and moving photos between two open libraries?

I'm not sure if it is possible, but can you work in and transfer photos between two open libraries at the same time? It is more an organizational question...i.e. I want to have some photos only appear in a particular library...

nk3:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can only have one library open at a time but with iPhoto Library Manager (in the free mode) you can transfer 20 photos at a time between libraries and keep keywords, comments, etc.

Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

File Sharing failed between my Mavericks iMacs. The console logs showed that the target iMac saw the ntlmv2 protocol as unknown to the kdc. I fixed it by enabling Windows File Sharing on the target Mavericks iMac. I had tried disabling SMB on both iMacs and leaving AFP on, but then nothing happened when I tried to connect. Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

When you enable file sharing you need to have either SMB (Windows) or AFP (historically Apple-native) file sharing checked. The default in Mavericks is SMB, and not AFP.
If you uncheck both, then the system will turn off file sharing. Apple supports the use of both SMB and AFP connections in Mavericks, so with only AFP enabled you should have been able to establish a connection, but there could be a small bug or configuration-specific snafu that you're encountering.
With AFP enabled only, try pressing Command-K in the Finder to open the Connect To Server dialogue, and in here enter the address to the system using afp:// as the protocol, such as the following (the name can be looked up in the Sharing system preferences):
afp://my_imac.local

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link

You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.

Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook.
Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this. So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up. Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
Thank you.

you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has. Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

Can I put my library on an external hard drive and use it between two computers?

Can I put my library on an external hard drive and use it between two computers? I have two MBP; I will refer to one as computer A and to the other as computer B. I would like to be able to plug in my external hard drive, boot up iTunes, and if there were any changes made to the library previous to its last time accessed on this compluter, they show up on that computer, regardless of being imported on the other.
A hypothetical example: I import three albums called 1, 2, and 3 on computer A over a week or so. I take the external hard drive and plug it into computer B. The entire library which was visible on A, is visible on B, including albums 1, 2, and 3.
Is this possible? If so, what files need to be copied onto the external? I'm trying some different combinations, trial and error basically. Hopefully someone knows and can answer before I mess up my library. I also want to do this to free up space on my computer. All importing will be done from disc.

iTunes/Preferences/Advanced : point your iTunes to the new location of the Library.
Set "Share on local network" in the Sharing tab, and you or everyone on the local network can play your music.
You make a backup first of the Library.
Move the follwing to the new location:
/Users/your username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
have fun.

How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

Drag and Drop images between two listviews

I need a help for listview drag n drop opretion on winform. where listview1 hold the images and i want to drag images from listview1 to listview2
and then when i click any button i want all paths of Images which is in the listview2. and also i want to set the image size on listview2. Please help me.

Hi Ajay Kumar,
According to your description, you'd like to drag and drop listviewitems between two listviews.
Here is my example for dropping items between listviews. You could add one imageList control to your form.
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
this.listView2.AllowDrop = true;
this.listView1.AllowDrop = true;
this.listView2.View = System.Windows.Forms.View.LargeIcon;
this.listView2.DragDrop += new System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler(this.OnDragDrop);
this.listView2.DragEnter += new System.Windows.Forms.DragEventHandler(this.OnDragEnter);
this.listView1.ItemDrag += new System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventHandler(this.OnItemDrag);
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"D:\Material\Emoticons");
foreach (FileInfo file in dir.GetFiles())
try
this.imageList1.Images.Add(Image.FromFile(file.FullName));
catch
Console.WriteLine("This is not an image file");
this.listView1.View = View.LargeIcon;
this.imageList1.ImageSize = new Size(32, 32);
this.listView1.LargeImageList = this.imageList1;
this.listView2.LargeImageList = this.imageList1;
//or
//this.listView1.View = View.SmallIcon;
//this.listView1.SmallImageList = this.imageList1;
for (int j = 0; j < this.imageList1.Images.Count; j++)
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
item.ImageIndex = j;
this.listView1.Items.Add(item);
private void OnItemDrag(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs e)
DoDragDrop(e.Item, DragDropEffects.Move);
private void OnDragEnter(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
if (!e.Data.GetDataPresent(typeof(ListViewItem)))
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
return;
var items = (ListViewItem)e.Data.GetData(typeof(ListViewItem));
if (items == null)
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;
else
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move;
private void OnDragDrop(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
ListViewItem items = (ListViewItem)e.Data.GetData(typeof(ListViewItem));
if (items != null)
this.listView2.Items.Add((ListViewItem)items.Clone());
Results:
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Slideshow - How to insert music file between two existing files.

I have a lengthy slideshow with different music files dropped into the background (that is, they display behind the images when in Slideshow Split View). I need to insert an audio file between two of these background music files, but Aperture is not allowing it. Removing all of the music files (1 hour slideshow) and re-adding them is not an appealing option.
Certainly we should be able to rearrange (or insert) background music without have to remove all existing music and reapplying? Or, is this, in fact, not possible presently?

IFF you legally own the tune, you may be able to do it, but using a computer and iTunes to sync the devices.

Permissions problem copying files between two Macs

I've run into a strange problem when trying to copy files between two networked Macs. Some background facts: We have two Macs at home each with three accounts. Two of the accounts are regular user accounts (my wife's and mine, call them "K" and "B" for short) and the third is an administrator account (we'll call it "A"). I have a .Mac account, which I use to sync between the two Macs. The other accounts do not. The user accounts B & K were initially set up on the second Mac via the Migration Assistant, copying over files and settings. The administrator account was not.
The problem I've run into is that if I am logged in as either user B or K on the local Mac, connect to the remote Mac as the corresponding user, and try to copy files into a folder owned by that same user on the remote Mac, I get a series of three dialog boxes with error messages:
1) "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named ..." (stop/continue)
2) "The item ... contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?" (stop/continue)
3) "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
If I go all the way through this hitting continue / OK on each, what shows up on the remote computer at the end is an empty file with the name and filetype of the local file that I was trying to copy, but of zero length.
This only happens when I'm copying from (local.B -> remote.B) or (local.K -> remote.K). It does not happen if I try any of the other pairwise combinations (assuming that I've authenticated properly): (local.B -> remote.K or remote.A), (local.K -> remote.B or remote.A), (local.A -> remote.B, remote.K or remote.A). It happens regardless of which Mac is local and which is remote.
I'm a little baffled. I've tried to search for this on Apple Discussions and other forums, but either haven't been using the right keywords or am coming up blank.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob

borbye is correct that this will remedy the problem but there is a way to do it and have your account work. after changing the user UID and group UID to 501 you will have to restart. then when you log on your home folder will still be your default but you will not have any access. Since you are still an admin you can change that. right click on the home folder and select get info click arrow for sharing and permissions. Your old UID account will show up as _unknown delete this user and add your user to it giving yourself read and write privilege. click on the cog on the bottom and select apply to enclosed items. A warning box will appear stating that this process cannot be undone do you wish to proceed? click yes and a status bar will come up. once the bar is gone the process is complete. since you didn't have access to your home folder you cannot save your settings, this is a good thing since your account will not look remotely the same as yours most likely. all you have to do now is logout and then back in. Your account will look as it did before the change with all the access settings and so forth as before the change... minus some permissions due to the overwrite. It's a minor repair to the permissions to some shares considering you will be able to now move files to and these shares without the permissions alert that only creates a 4kb file instead of the real thing. Takes 5 minutes at most. Have fun.

How to transfer files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

I heard you can transfer selected files between two Macs running Tiger. I'm not talking about setting up a new Mac w. files from an older one, if that's different? Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to a "how-to" link? Thanks.

Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.
