Two computers: how to sync plugin export presets?

Apologies if this question has already been dealt with, but I did not find it from the forum.
How should I deal with the following situation. I have two computers (desktop and laptop), and the desktop works as my "master". I want to copy export presets to my laptop for on-the-road work, including the presets that include settings for the export plugins (namely LR2/Mogrify and MetadataWrangler)?
I can easily deal with having identical versions of the plugins in both computers, but how to sync the export presents? Is it as simple as just copying the contents of ...\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Presets\User Presets? Before just testing it I would prefer to hear if the solution is that simple, or if manually copying presets would mess up the LR setting on laptop?
Running Windows XP and Lightroom 2.3.
Thanks is advance.

Thanks. There should not be problems with the drive-letters due to "managed" setup on both computers. Have to test if I could set SyncToy for easy copying of setting while on home network.

Started Itunes on my home computer and added some CDs that were made from old albums and I had to manually inpt titles..then took a stack on a trip and did the same on my laptop. But when I tried to update my Ipod with the laptop it asked did I want to replace the library.

ITunes on two computers, how can I sync from both

I guess what I want to do is sync Itunes amongst two computers.
When I got my Ipod for Christmas, at the outset I set up Itunes on my son's laptop. And up to this point I have been syncing from this computer.
Now I want to start to sync from my own laptop (actually I want to be able to sync from both computers) and not loose any content.
I do have the January software update and it was installed from my son's computer. I don't want to loose this update if I sync with my computer.
To date, my Ipod has worked flawlessly. I am hoping not to create a problem by introducting my Ipod to my laptop and trying to sync the Ipod from both computers.
I am not too technically inclinded, so I would appreciate any response to take this into account when replying. Thanks.

There is also an option in iTunes. Go to File>Back up to disc. It will then give you some options of what type of back up you want to do. And don't forget hat if you have music on your iPod that is a form of a back up as well. If it is purchased music from the iTunes store, and you loose your music from system crash or whatever. You can re-install iTunes and then connect you iPod and go to Store >Authorize Computer > enter password and then go to File> Transfer Purchases. Now if you have ripped music and loose it you can use any search engine and search for Ipod Ripper programs. These are third party softwares, so basically it means that they work but Apple does not endorse or support them. But trust me when I tell you if you get one that you have to pay a fee for they work.

Help! How do I install export presets into CS4 (Mac)?

I'm technologically impaired, and attempting to install my school's export presets for Premier Pro CS4. I have two exec files ending in the file type "sqpreset", and no idea where to put them or what to do with them. I'm trying to solve a moire problem with my animation exports. Hellllllp!

>believe the files were created at the school
I have never tried to install something created by a person from a group of presets (I am also on Windows, not Mac) so I think you are going to have to hope that someone comes along who knows how presets are copied to external file(s) on a Mac, to then be installed or placed on a different computer
What does the help file and/or online user guide say about exporting and importing presets?

PSE6- Using 2 computers how to sync?

I have PSE6 installed on a desktop and laptop. I want to sync the catalogs.
Will this work to sync the catalogs?
If I backup the catalog on the desktop to an external drive and then restore the catalog on the laptop from the backup on the external drive, then backup the catalog on the laptop (which I have restored) to the external drive and then restore to the desktop, would this work?
Or would I lose some data from the catalogs?
Also how can I get the MY Picture folders synced?
Thank you for any help you can give me.

I also have two computers, a laptop and a desktop. And while I use a backup program (Carbonite) to protect against disasters, it doesn't really help with keeping the two computers in sync.
So I use another product to keep both my photos and other documents in synch.
Its a free program, available for download, called Allway Sync, available to download for free at allwaysync.com. This program will sync directories on command, and will also do it on a time scale (like every four hours), or even whenever a directory changes. I use it for the "Pictures" directory where I store all my photos. Note that the two computers must share a network connection for this to work.
In order to keep the index up to date, I also sync the "My Catalog" directory. By default, in Vista, that is stored in Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My Catalog. You can choose, in Photoshop Elements, to store it elsewhere if you choose.
This works great for me. I can edit photos on either computer, and I can import pictures from either computer, and not worry that the work has not been done on the other system. At least once an hour, I know that the computers are perfectly in synch.

I have an Iphone 4S and two computers, can I sync with both computers? When I click on manual manage it says I have to delete songs from phone

I have two computers, my desktop has much more music on it, but my laptop is 10 times faster. I originally sync'd my iphone 4s with the desktop to try and keep the hard drive on the laptop from bogging down. My desktop is on it's way out and I'm trying to sync with the laptop but itunes won't let me. When I go into my iphone on the computer I check off to manual manage music and when I hit apply it tells me that the iphone can only be sync'd to one computer and requires the contents of the phone being deleted. Is there anyway around this or am I going to have to delete everything and go through my laptop?

This is from article on device with multiple computers:
iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices.

ITunes on two computers, how to interact

How do import songs from one mac to the other with iTunes.
I can't find a way to solve this.
Both iTunes contains about 4000 songs. It's a **** of a job adding a song to the library looking in the finderlist for a particular song.
I download on two computers and I like the two iTunes libraries identical. So anyone with a quick and smooth fix.

Two computers won't sync address books anymore

I have these two computers with related software:
One G4 1 GHz dual processor, OS 10.3.9, iSync 1.5 (v139), Address Book 3.1.2 (v321)
One G4 1.5 GHx Powerbook, OS 10.3.5, iSync 1.5 (v139), Address Book 3.1.2 (v321)
In the past I've always been able to sync the address book contacts between the two through my .Mac account and iSync. Today it won't work--although oddly enough the Safari bookmarks DO sync up. But not the address book stuff. Anybody know what might have happened that would change this?

How to find old export presets on an old Mac backup?

Hey,
I have just bought a new computer MBPR and have started from scratch with everything, instead of loading it from my last backup from my last MBPR. However, I had a load of export presets with different watermarks etc that I would like to load onto my new machine.
How can I do this?
At first I thought I could find where the presets sit on my current system: /Users/Mikeys/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Export Presets/User Preset).
So I tried finding this folder on one of my backups, but there is NO Users/Mikeys/Library folder?
The only similar folder is this: /Volumes/Mac Mac/Backups.backupdb/Mike’s MacBook Pro/2014-01-07-204958/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
Which doesn't house the presets, only the Registration information
Help please?

Is it possible to sync to/from two computers but only sync from a third (no upload to third/work computer, but download from it)?

Is this possible:
Two directional sync (to/from) of history, bookmarks, etc on two computers and only unidirectional sync (from only, not to) on a third? I have sync set up on my work computer and I like knowing my work history when at home or on my laptop, but I don't want all of my home history being sent to the work computer. Is there a way to have a two directional sync between 2 computers but only send history from, but not to, a third computer?
As it stands now, if someone at work would get on my history it would look like I have been looking up flights and buying things on the internet at work, but I only do that at home.
Thanks.

As far as I know, you can only access the iTunes store of the country you are currently in.

Two computers, how to encrypt/secure mail on both?

Hello All,
Apologize if this has been answered before. I have two computers: a laptop and a desktop, and I use Apple Mail on both. I would like to send signed/encrypted mail from both. I got myself a Thawte personal certificate and installed it on my desktop machine. So far so good, have had no troubles signing/encrypting mail through Apple Mail on the desktop machine. I now want to do the same for my laptop.
Do I need to get another unique certificate from Thawte or can I somehow copy the certificate on my desktop to my laptop? I wish to use the same gmail account on both machines so I don't think a second unique certificate of the same email address is possible. Anyone do this before with success? Thanks for any help.
- Ben

You can just download the certificate(s) from the Thawte site again on your laptop, then import it into Keychain Access and set it up that way.

Two Computers, Two iPods - how to sync between all of them?

I have four Apple products:
Mac Mini, OSX 10.6.4
Macbook Pro, OSX 10.6.4
iPod Touch 8gig, 3G iOS4
iPod Touch 32gig, 3G iOS4
I have different apps on the Mac Mini than I do on the Macbook Pro, and different apps on each iPod Touch. I want to sync them. I want to be able to put the apps from my Mac Mini on my 8 gig iPod touch, and put apps from my Macbook Pro on the 32 gig iPod touch. (My husband has bought some apps I want on my iPod, etc.)
How can I do this? When I plug my 8gig iPod touch into the mini (the 8gig has previously been synced with the Macbook Pro) it tells me that in order to sync apps from the Mini it has to delete all the apps on the iPod.
They were all bought using the same account.
How can I put all the apps on all the machines - or, at least, both iPods?? Is it possible? Click and drag for apps doesn't work.
Thanks!

Thank you - homesharing is exactly what I wanted. Never noticed this before. (Never owned two Macs before!
Thanks!

Ical on two computers - how to keep calendars in sync properly

My setup includes a MacBook Pro and an Imac G4. Until one month ago the G4 was my only computer and I used Ical to publish my work schedule. Now I use the MBP primarily. My desire is to have Ical sync my work schedule on both computers, and also continue to publish it online.
As of right now whichever calendar is changed first overwrites the online calendar - I think I need to only have one machine publishing the calendar? Also, new events sync nicely through .Mac, but changed or deleted events do not always seem to get updated on the Imac. Any thoughts?

Stephen,
It seems to me that you have correctly determined that it makes sense to only publish an identical calendar from one of the computers.
After appropriately backing up your calendars, you might want to consider Resetting .Mac Sync. It appears as if both of your computers are using 10.4.6, but just in case..."If you sync between computers with different versions of Mac OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible."
Make sure that "Synchronize my calendars with other computers using .Mac is checked in the General Preference of the iMac.

Two Macs: how to sync A3 libraries?

Have a main Mac and (very soon) a MacBook.
I plan on copying the pictures from the main to the book, then work on the book (no new pics, just keywords and adjustments).
At the end of the day, I'd like to sync the book with the main, so that the main gets updated with the keywords and adjustments added to the book, ie the main's Aperture library gets updated from the book's Aperture library.
What is the easier way to achieve this? I don't mind scripting if necessary.
(there are some answers that are quite old... just hope there is new info in this department)

Sorry to have to disappoint you: Aperture 3.3.1 still does not sync libraries.
But, if I understand you correctly, in your case the "merge" should suffice; it will work, when you only change one library:
When you are done with editing on your MacBook, export the changed projects as a new Library: File > Export > Project/Folder as Library.
Import this library into your main library; use the "merge" option, not the "add" option.
When prompted how to resolve conflicts, select the imported library; this way the edited images from the MacBook will replace the older versions on your main Mac.
That is what I use when I am travelling with my MBP and need to get the changes back into the main library on the iMac when I return.
The prompt when importing the library "Leuchttuerme"
and the prompt how to resolve conflicts:
Regards
Léonie
