What's the best way to be able to access and work on files between new iMacs?

One is used in office downstairs and other is for personal. We want to be able access office documents and work on them upstairs.

There really is no best way, without knowing what you want to do more in-depth it's difficult to recommend.  You can turn on iCloud on both machines, you can use Sharing on both and/or  you can use a Dropbox account. Please explain in-depth what kind of files you will be sharing and what you are thinking of.

  • What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file

    What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file. I shot the play and it is in final cut and I rndered it so now I have a 22gb file that I need to put on a dvd . Any suggestions
    Thanks
    Macbook Pro
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    with Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
    using Lion as operating system

    Presuming your menus aren't complicated(include audio or video) the total size for the MPG-2 and AC3 files should probably be under 8GB for a dual layer disk. The inspector will tell you the estimated size. 2-pass varible bit rate would be recommended.
    Trying to fit 3 hours on a DVD-5 will only bring very noticable quality hits. Compressor will let you change the average bit rate so that you can fit 174 minutes but trade-off isn't worth it in my opinion.
    Be aware that dual-layer -R and +R media may not play well for everyone everywhere.
    I presume you are not making 1000 or more copies? If you were replication could solve this.
    One other alternative would be to break-up the show into two parts and spread it across two DVD-5s.

  • What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

    What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

    Well it seems that you did not explain to us the full story.  Did you change ISP's or something? Why would it not show up anymore?
    What colour is the light on the time-capsule? If it's blinking amber, then you probably need to do a factory-reset. That should get it to show up again in AirPort Utility.

    Hi,
    If you want to APPEND data( add data to an existing excel file) from SAP, then use GUI_DOWNLOAD fm with APPEND = 'X' paramter.

  • What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air?

    What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air?  I don't know very much about Microsoft (almost nothing).  Does she need to plug into one of the USB ports on her Microsoft computer (about 5 years old)?  I also have an iMac (that I use for syncing but she needs her contacts from Outlook.  She doesn't really want all of them...there are 1,000's of teachers that work in her district and she does no tent to add 1,000's of contacts.

    If she only has a few she can e-mail those contacts to herself, open that mail on her iPad and save them from there.

  • What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

    What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

    You can copy your iPhoto Library to an external hard disk, USB flash drive, or other media (depending on the size of your iPhoto library). Then, you'd copy the iPhoto Library from that media to the same location on your iMac.
    Using the Finder, navigate to your Home folder (or click on Go from the menu bar and click on Home). Open the Pictures folder, select your iPhoto Library and then from the menu bar choose "Edit" and then "Copy". Then navigate to your external disk, click on "Edit", and then click on "Paste".
    Then, insert your media on the iMac, and copy the iPhoto Library from your external media to the same location on your iMac (the Pictures folder located under your Home folder).
    Hope that helps, have a great day.

  • What is the best way to be able to run certain websites that aren't supported by safari, firefox, and chrome, in other words only internet explorer?

    I really need to do a class online but it wont save progress because it is not supported by safari and only works with internet explorer. What is the best way around this?

    Try this with Safari ...
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:   Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the menu bar again click Develop > User Agent
    Try IE 9, 8, or 7.
    An alternative is to create a  partition on the Mac hard drive and install Windows using Boot Camp  but that is a long and drawn out process and you would need to purchase an Window install disc.

  • What is the best way to move multiple formats of songs/photos/podcasts to a new computer?

    For most of my life, I have used my family's home Windows desktop to establish my iTunes account with my iPod Classic (5th gen). On this computer I have:
    iTunes store purchases
    CD imports
    Other MP3 files
    Podcasts
    Photos downloaded from online
    Now I am in college in another city, and I won't be able to come home much, so I'm setting up iTunes on my laptop as my new "home base", as it were. I've already authorized it under the same account that I use on my desktop. What is the best way to move all of this stuff from my old computer to my new one? I'm thinking an external hard drive is the best decision, but I want the input of the Apple community. You guys are much more knowledgable than I am! Thanks!

    Hey Alayna,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question! I'm not really in a position to recommend a "best" option, as there are several different ways to go. You can read over your options in the following document and decide which one works best for you:

  • What's the best way to set up my iPad and iPhone through I tunes

    I have an iPad and now an iPhone what's the best way to sync these in iTunes I'm assuming I'll use the same account and as such the same music aps etcwill sync on both devices? Also it is best to back up to the cloud and would this allows instant transfer of data between device ie pictures? Thanks

    You can use the same Apple ID, iTunes will still be able to tell them apart. If both are on IOS 5.x, you can use backup from the iCloud. To have pictures across all you devices, switch Photo Stream to ON.
    Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.
    (Note: Photos that are already in Photo Library will not stream, only those you take after Photo Stream is switched on)

  • What is the best way to clean up your mac and make it faster and run to an optimum level?

    Hi Everyone, Hope all is well
    Iv been running my mac pro for a long time now, its a Mac pro, 2x 2.26 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon. 12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Ram
    Over time now it has become slower, at the moment its still running fine but im sure over time it has probabally collected unwanted data etc. i just dont want it to become a problem as its only going to be used more and more... i now notice that some of the regular programs which i open do take a little while longer to open and i sometimes see that little round Mac loading the sign (the round multicolor wheel).., is there a way to clean the mac up? so that it can run more smoothly and just a better over all feel.,,, the machine is still running beautifully but its time i give it more care and revive it a little more..
    What are the best ways to do this, i dont trust any of these non apple based products which claim they can clean ur Mac etc.
    Any solutaion and advice that u guys can give would be great and i would be very thankful
    Thanks in advance

    For immediate speed improvements, upgrade to a Solid State Drive and upgrade your conventional hard drives to new ones, because the newer ones are faster at reading and writing than the ones from 5 years ago.
    By Re-installing your OS onto a solid state drive, the system will boot much faster, and your programs will launch much faster.
    I use a small SSD (only 60GB) which contains only OS X and all my apps.  All of my personal files are on the large mechanical hard drive.  If you still use the drive that shipped with the Mac, then it might be a good idea to replace it.
    Depending on what kind of work you do, then additional RAM will help.  Swapping CPUs should only be done if you are really in need of the improvements they would bring. 
    You appear to have the 2009 dual-CPU Mac Pro, which is the most challenging model to swap CPUs into.

  • What is the best way to save data from GPIB Device in a file?

    HI!
    I have a Keithley SourceMeter and want to save readings in a File along with settings on the front panel and timestamps plus several other infos. What is the best way to do this? Which file type? Any recommendations or hints could help me?
    Thanks

    Hi Andy,
    There are 3 main file formats that you can consider writing your data out to in LabVIEW:
    ASCII
    Binary
    Datalog
    ASCII
    ASCII files are useful because every operating system and almost every application can read/write ASCII format files. Use ASCII files when:
    Other users or applications will need to access the data file.
    You will not need to perform random access file I/O
    File I/O speed is not crucial
    Disk space is not crucial
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write to Text File.vi and Read from Text File.vi
    Binary
    Binary byte stream files are more specific to data storage and retrieval. Use b
    inary files when:
    File I/O will remain in LabVIEW only -- no other applications will be needing to write/read that file. There is no standard formatting for binary files and thus other applications or operating systems may be unable to read the file.
    Files are smaller than ASCII files
    Easier and faster random access to data
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Binary File.vi and Read Binary File.vi
    Datalog
    When to use datalog:
    If you need to record data with a mixture of types, it can be cumbersome to convert everything to ASCII or to keep track of the binary formatting.
    Datalog format is binary and internal to LabVIEW, so again only use this format if no other applications or operating systems will be needing to perform file I/O on the file.
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Datalog File
    Example.vi and Read Datalog File Example.vi
    Good luck!

  • What is the best way of reading a browser cookie and writing to sessionbean

    Hi,
    So far I have happily written a cookie in the visting browser and happily can display with a browser using a servlet println etc
    But what is the best way to take that value and put it into say getSessionBean1().setCookieValue("Cookievalue");
    I was thinking on the lines of calling a forward from the servlet "nexpage?cookievalue=stringetc".... or is there some nicer way?
    Thanks
    James

    In the page I simply referenced the facescontext directly... no need for a custom servlet.
    public void createcookie() {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse)fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("cookiename", "cookievalue");
    userCookie.setMaxAge(-1);
    userCookie.setMaxAge(3600);
    resp.addCookie(userCookie);
    return null;
    public String readcookie() {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
    Map cookiemap = ec.getRequestCookieMap();
    if (cookiemap != null) {
    Cookie cookie = (Cookie) cookiemap.get("cookievalue");
    return cookievalue;
    For reference I could not get getCookies() method of HttpServletRequest to work.. it would only return JSESSIONID.

  • What's the best way to copy a big poster and print it out?

    I'm doing a big art project (around 5ft by 5ft), where I'm going to draw stuff out by hand, and would like to make a copy of that project by scanning it into the computer, or taking high-res photos of the project and compiling them together in the computer, and then printing the image out at that size, or bigger. So, I will have the original, 5x5ft, and a printed copy. 
    What's the best way of doing this?
    I hear that vector images are ideal for this, so is Illustrator recommended for this?
    I know it's a vector graphics program, but is there any way I can take a bitmap image from a scan or photo, and somehow turn it into a vector? If this is not possible, what recommendations would you have?
    I have Illustrator CS2.

    Take the photo in one shot by a camera with 24MP, e.g.
    http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d3x.htm
    This should be sufficient for a poster reproduction 5ft square
    as a raster image.
    For vectorizing one doesn't need high resolution (it's often
    recommended to blur the source image).
    Perspective and lens corrections can be applied by Photoshop,
    but the lighting should be well balanced.
    Barrel distortion by wide angle lens is really no problem.
    Plenty examples:
    All photos here were taken without tripod by a 170 Euro camera.
    http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/andalusien13032010.pdf
    Especially see p.20, a photo (with flash) of an exhibition photo,
    viewing direction not orthogonal to the object, then perspectively
    and lens-distortion corrected.
    (The PDF shows the photos heavily downsampled).

  • What is the best way to preorder multiple iPhone 6s and take advantage of the $200 trade in deal?

    Here's my scenario.
    Currently: I have 2 iPhone 4 and 1 iPhone 4S
    Plan: Upgrade all three to iPhone 6 Plus (16GB)
    What is the best way to do the $200 trade in deal for each of the old phone?
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/faqs/Equipment/trade_in_program.html#iPhone Trade-in Promotion
    1. When I preorder at 12:01 AM do I have to pay $300 or $100 for each?
    2. Do I have to send the old iPhones first in order to get the $200 gift cards?
    What should I do to make sure each preorder can be discounted?

        Vice_Actual,
    Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We are super excited about the launch of the new iPhone. In order to get the trade in deal you would need to trade in the device and then you would get a Verizon Wireless gift card mailed out to you. If you pay for the devices with a credit card on pre-order the card will not be charged until the devices are shipped.
