Using LR5 on two computers and sync catalog

Hi,
I have LR5 on my iMac and have purchased a MacBook Pro for travelling - how do I get the photo's I've edited in LR5 on my MBP back into my LR5 on my iMac when I return home.Q

On your travel laptop, in the LR Library module, select the images you want to transfer, "export as catalog".
On your main computer, "import from catalog" using the exported catalog.
This all assumes you have a way to transfer the files from one computer to the other (network, external HD, etc).

[HELP] I use Skype from two computers and i notice...

Sorry for reposting this topic, but it didn't appear on the forum.
Hey there.
I use skype from two computers.
Last week i blocked a contanct from computer1 and yesterday i unblocked it from the same computer.
So i noticed that after i unblocked this contact, it still appears at my homepage with his picture, info and everything, BUT only from computer1.
When i use computer2, this contact appears at my contacts, but only with his skype name (the one he uses to log in) and not with his display name. Also, i can't see his picture or any other information. It just appears offline, with his log-in name and with no picture. That's all.
So what's going on? Why can i see everything normally from computer1 but not from computer2?
P.S.1 99% he blocked me too, but i have no idea whether he unblocked me or not.
P.S.2 I know my english is horrible, sorry for that.

Using itunes on two computers and ...

Hi there
i got my mum an ipod for her birthday, i also got her a itunes voucher as well so she could buy some songs
but because she didnt want to put her bank detail in to set up an account, (it wouldn't let her use the voucher with out setting up an account)
she used my account, but on her computer, it now wont let her tranfer the songs to her ipod or burn them onto cd.
i just log onto my account from my laptop
and it says
3 machines are authorized to play music purchased with this account, so i though that it would work,
it there anyway i can get this songs to work, and tranfer the songs to her ipod?
many thanks for the help!

it wouldn't let her use the voucher with out setting up an account
You set up an account using the voucher.
Go to the main iTunes store screen.
Select Redeem at the top right under *Quick Links*.
Input the card number, then select *Create new account*.
When it gets to the Credit card info, select None.
If you select *Create new account* and not Redeem, you are required to input a CC number.
You should be able to transfer the songs from your iTunes to her iPod. If they do not transfer, play one of the purcahses in iTunes first.
Then authorize her computer using your account (whatever was used to purcahse the songs).
She plugs in the iPod and she can transfer the purchases from the iPod to her computer.

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.

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.

Proper setup for using two computers and backup drives?

I've just purchased Aperture 3 and want to fix a longstanding problem I've had with my workflow and setup in Lightroom. I've got an iMac and a MBP and what I'd like to do is use the iMac as my main computer for Aperture. My plan is to import my existing files into Aperture and copy them to an external (non-portable) hard drive for back-up purposes. Based on this, I'd have two copies of each file, one each on the iMac and the back-up drive, right?
I also use my MBP for a lot of photo editing work while on the road, but don't have a lot of drive space on it. I've bought a 750GB hard drive and I'd like to have the Library on this drive as well for use on the MBP. I know this would give me three copies of each file, but it would also give me some peace of mind in the event I somehow lost the info on the 750GB drive. I don't want copies of the images on the MBP directly as I don't have enough space.
Can this setup be "easily" done and if I make a change in an image on one computer will it be synchronized between the two computers and the two external hard drives? I guess in plain English, what I'd like to achieve is the ability to work on either computer and have the most recent versions synchronize when I attach the 750GB drive to the iMac, with the non-portable external drive as the back-up for the synchronized Library.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kevin

No, vaults only look after a managed library. A referenced library has to be backed up manually.
There are a few reasons i prefer to use a referenced set up. I use a MBPro on the road for long periods and sometimes high volumes of large image files, so the limited capacity HD is no longer a problem.
Aperture does not slow down with a referenced library as the HD fills.
The Vaults cannot be accessed like manual back ups can, there is no way of knowing what is in there, you hope it is your entire Aperture library.
With manual project backup you have a more manageable size that is much more versatile, and is viewable because of its smaller size. You can delete stuff and then restore it from the backup.
It is safer in my opinion to not have all the library in a single library folder. Much safer split up by project.
When i did use a managed library and Vaults there were times when i wanted stuff off the Aperture library but still kept in the vault, which was not possible.

I downloaded throught Adobe the Elements 13 two be utilized in two computers, one PC at home and one Mac Laptop, as I did always in the old versios. Someone knows if I buy the CD can be used in the two computeres?

The serial number for the version purchased on cd can be used for two installations: Mac and PC or Mac and Mac or PC and PC.
The serial number for the downloaded version can be used only on two PCs or 2 Macs (generally), depending upon the version purchased.

How do I easily duplicate mailboxes tree on two systems and sync rules to function the exact same way on both systems? iMAC and MACBook Pro

I have two Mac devices that I want both mail trees to be identical without having to manually configure each device....can I sync the mailboxes somehow with one machine being the master sync device via iCloud?

Synchronizing data between devices is a complex issue, and there's no really ideal solution. This comment is an oversimplification.
Mail can be synchronized by storing it on a mail server that uses the IMAP protocol, such as iCloud. The mail stays on the server, so it's automatically in sync with all mail clients.
Several other kinds of data can be synced via iCloud, such as calendars, iWork documents, photos, Safari tabs and bookmarks, and keychains. Some third-party applications can also sync with iCloud, but not many. iCloud is easy to use, for the most part. The drawbacks of using it are, first, that it doesn't sync everything; and second, that some of your private information will be in the hands of strangers. Read the iCloud feature list and privacy notice carefully before deciding whether or how to use it. There should be no privacy concerns with iCloud keychain, because the data is encrypted end-to-end and is not accessible to anyone at Apple—but you have to take Apple's word for that.
A more comprehensive solution, and one that doesn't raise any privacy issues, is to set up an OS X Server on your network and create mobile accounts on your other Macs. You will then be able to synchronize all files in the home folder automatically at logout, or at any other time manually. The main drawback here is that OS X Server would be hard for most non-technical users to set up and maintain. Another is that the synchronization only works with Macs, not mobile devices.
Third-party software such as Unison can also be used to synchronize files over a network. Unison is free, but it's not easy to set up in a way that doesn't lead to conflicts when files are modified on different devices between synchronizations. To synchronize more than two Macs in this way, you'll want to use one as the master, and sync between it and the others.

Using iPhone with two computers

Home PC - MacBook Pro
Work PC - Windows
both running iTunes 7.7
My music is on my home Mac and I manually create playlists, add music etc.
With my 3G Nano, I can connect and listen to songs on my iPod from my work PC. I can't seem to do this with my iPhone - my PC sees the iPhone but all of the music is greyed out and cannot be selected.
Is it a limitation of the iPhone that I cannot use it with two computers in this way, or is it a configuration issue?
I would prefer not to have to buy a set of external speakers just to use my iPhone to play music at work.
thanks
Shane

Actually, there are several articles on the web about the fact that you CAN
synch the itunes with two computers. Music, Video, and Ringtones can be done from one computer, and Mail, Contacts, etc. can be done from a second computer.
Just do a Yahoo search on "synching iPhone with two computers."
If you are trying to do music from two computers, you are right, that will not work. There is a program, which I think the Yahoo search above will also uncover that allows you to do a "swap," where you can have the songs from one computer show up on the iPhone, and when you swap, the songs from the other computer show up. I am not sure if this utility survived the upgrage to version 2.0 of the softweare.

My i-Pad2 won't charge after I downloaded some new stuff from i-Tunes. A note appears on the screen "Charging is not supported with this accessory". I have tried charging through two computers and with the wall socket plug (with another cable). I have

My i-Pad won't charge after I downloaded some stuff from i-Tunes. I have tried charging through two computers and using the wall socket,, with different cables. I have turned the i-Pad off & on a couple of times but it still won't charge. Any ideas will be gratefully received.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

USB commnuication between two computers and air

Hey all,
I was wondering if usb communication between two computers is possible and what I would need to get started.
I want to connect two computers and send data through a usb cable. Prior app was using wifi however signal was not consistent and I need consistency.
THanks!

I see you found a solution, but for anyone else who drops in here, if it's an Android app you would need these permissions to be set in the app-descriptor XML:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

Integrtion Scenario using BPM with two sender and multiple receiver

integrtion Scenario using BPM with two sender and multiple receiver
How many Application Components are required?

Hi Vinod,
1) In integration repository you can have one or many software components it depends on your landscape orchestration
2) In integration direcory you need at least one service for bpm and one or many for each system in your bpm
also each connection between systems and bpm must have receiver determination and so on.
Advice: Please treat BPM as a separate system.

You can have functional installations on two machines. The machines have to meet the system requirements for the software.

Using Elements 12 on two computers and sharing one catalog.

I want to put my photoshop elements 12 onto my laptop as well as my PC. I would like to know how to be able to share my photos back and forth between the two programs. I also use the Topaz plug in's on the PC and will also install them on the laptop. Let me know how I can do this.

What I suggest is to have the picture files on the external hard drive as well as the catalog folder.
The picture files are no longer on your desktop nor on your laptop, they are on the external drive.
The catalog folder is no longer in the default location on your desktop, it has been moved to the same external drive.
You have PSE installed on your two computers (you are allowed two computers with your Elements license).
When you plug-in the the external drive to any of your computers, the organizer finds the catalog on the external drive and all your picture files.
You can edit and add images to your catalog from any of your computers, the other one will find them when the external drive is plugged in.
How to do this? I suppose you have your picture files on your desktop and also the catalog folder in its default location in the desktop.
You have two external drives; one for backup, the other to hold the pictures and the catalog folder.
The first step is to do a full backup on the backup drive.
Then you do a restore to the second external drive. That will put the pictures and the catalog folder in that drive.
Now, to tell each of your organizers in desktop and laptop where the catalog is, the simplest solution is to plug the external drive to a computer. From the explorer/finder, you locate the catalog folder which holds the database : catalog.pse13db. You double click that file, which will open the organizer in the new catalog. Do the same with the second computer.
As I said in my previous post, it is necessary that the external drive has the same drive letter when plugged in in either computer.
