Workflow for Sharing Library between Desktop Laptop and Server?

I am trying to figure out how to best accomplish the following. I believe that what I want is not supported by Aperture (by reading these forums). Until it is, what is the best workflow or workaround to do something like this?
Linux server stores raw files on samba share. Photos are placed on server straight from camera card.
G5 Desktop is main editing computer for Aperture, which imports from linux server via gig connection.
MacBook Pro will also be used to edit photos when I am off (the server) site and imports images from linux server when connected or from camera when off site.
One user, myself.
Right now I am using the G5 as my main computer, and pretty much not using my macbook to its full potential because I am worried about losing things in the workflow.

Feedback to Apple (under the Aperture menu when in Aperture) asking for one-user, two-computer support.
In the meantime, a Library on each Mac with Referenced Masters. Export Projects as needed from whichever of the two Macs you choose to use for a given set of images. Relocate Masters from the laptop to the server when connected.

Trying to organize a new workflow for travel using a desktop, laptop and IPad using LR mobile

Apologies in advance as I'm sure this has been asked but I am swamped with information on the web.
OK for travel I want to upload images to my laptop from my CF cards. I then want to be able to make basic edits and flags on the laptop (which I am yet to purchase) and then have this reflect on my desktop. I have LR mobile so figured the laptop access would allow me to do the same things as if I was viewing on the IPad but apparently not...Please help!
I have read about some people exporting the catalog backwards and forwards between the 2 devices and this seems messy and I don't think I want to get into that. A main attraction was to be able to upload and edit on the road (I'm taking a 3.5 week trip to Cambodia) and then on my return to my desktop have a lot of the work done to then make final detailed edits and subsequent books, prints etc.
I love photography but I'm not a tech geek so any help/suggestions appreciated!

On the laptop start a new catalogue for the trip. Import all new photos into it. At the end, copy it and the images to the desktop and in, your main catalogue, use File > Import from Another Catalog to bring in all the work in the trip catalogue. Maybe practice this workflow now and return with other questions?

I'd like to know tips for sharing apps between my wife and myself on two iPads with two apple IDs and one computer.

I'm new to iTunes, app store, and managing content on two iPads and an iPod. I manage both iPads and an iPod on one computer, but we have two apple IDs. All my music is on a home-theatre pc. I don't really understand home sharing yet, and I am hoping for some tips from experienced users to keep me from losing content, or mixing up apps and confusing digital rights etc.

You cannot share apps, or any other content purchased from the iTunes Store, between two different Apple IDs. Those purchases are tied to the Apple ID.

DierreMax, welcome to the forum.
If you provide a model number for the Pavilion and Envy I will tell you the difference. Normally, the Envy is a newer model than the Pavilion. Also, the Pavilion models are less expensive than the Envy models.

Sharing Library Between PC and Mac

Hello all,
I recently transferred my iTunes library from the PC to an AirDisk. The annoying thing is that when I open iTunes on the Mac, it does the "Updating iTunes Library" which takes a while to complete. When I open iTunes on the PC, it does the same thing. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or is this the nature of sharing an iTunes library between PC's and Mac's?
Thanks
Mac mini (1.42 GHz PPC) | MacBook (2.0 GHz C2D) | Mac OS X (10.4.9) | PC with XP SP2

Sorry I should explained it better. I'm talking about how it seems the OSX iTunes is doing some converting when the library was last opened with the Windows iTunes. It takes 30 minutes for this coversion to complete. If I open the library in OSX, and it was last accessed by the OSX iTunes, there is minimal delay. I assume there is some conversion because (1) the iTunes Library file increases in size; and (2) the kind of file reported by OSX changes from iTunes Database File to a Unix Executable File.

Can I share my itunes library between my laptop at home and my computer at work using homeshare?

can I share my itunes library between my laptop at home and my computer at work using homeshare?

Can I rip my CDs to only one of the iTunes instances and share this iTunes Library between both instances of iTunes?

Hw do I share files between my laptop and my desktop?

How do I 'share' files between my laptop and my desktop?

Set up a Network:
If each of your computers can access the Internet without changing cables, your Network is already in place.
The rest is just configuring as Niel suggests.

Can I use multiple computers eg. my desktop, laptop and iPad on an individual subscription?

If I buy a individual subscription can I use photoshop on multiple computers eg. my desktop, laptop and iPad?
If so, what is required on each device? If I am on my laptop away form home can I log onto photoshop and still access documents Ive been working on?
Sorry for the stupid questions, I do not fully understand how the 'Cloud' works and what it offers me if I need to use photoshop on several devices.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you

You have 2 activations, meaning you can use it on 2 computers. Mobile devices are treated separately and are not tied to the activation limit. Whether or not you will be able to work on your documents across will depend on syncing them or making them otherwise available through some shared (web) storage.

HELP Deciding between Windows laptops and OS X MacBook Pro!

I'm going to college this coming fall and am in the market for a new laptop to bring with me. I've been debating between PC laptops and Apple laptops for months now. This all started with the release of the MBP and its Intel Duo processor. In short, the new MBP's intrigue me.
So, I ask for help with deciding between the two. I'm very used to Windows XP; I have a Dell desktop and a Sony Vaio laptop. I do know the basics of
OS X because we use them at my high school.
My main question is, Why should I make the jump from Windows to Apple/
OS X?
Also, I have looked at several other notebooks, comparing features with prices. The 15.4" MBP is running at $2000. For the same price, I can get a similar Windows laptop with more technical features (more GB hard drive/more RAM).
MAC-80GB HD ; 512MB DDR2 RAM
SONY NOTEBOOK-100GB HD ; 1GB DDR2 RAM
Is the Apple notebook slower? I just have many questions, and I hope someone is able to answer at least a few and "teach me" the Apple way. Any help is appreciated!!
Windows XP

Hi, eightnotes. welcome to the forum.
In my opinion, there are several reasons why you should make the jump.
The first and biggest reason is the user experience, i.e. ease of use and low-maintenance OS. You're familiar with Windows, so you know you almost need to have a degree in computer science to properly secure, protect and maintain a Windows pc against internet threats. The Mac OS is not so threatened, so you will spend less time and energy worrying about it, securing it, and fixing it when it breaks.
Another reason is the way that Mac OS X is well integrated to fit the hardware that runs it. I've always believed that one of Windows biggest weaknesses is the fact that computer manufacturers must properly engineer their hardware to conform to the requirements of Windows OS. Of course, some are better than others, and God help you if you have a problem. "Who ya gonna call?". If it's OS X on Macintosh, you're gonna call Apple.
And finally, I think Apple provides the best suite of software that a consumer can get for everyday use. iLife (with iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie, iDVD and Garage Band) is simply the best at digital photos, music and video. If you need more than that, add iWork or MS Office for the writing and publishing... add other third party apps for other things and you're still using excellent, solid apps.
There you go! Three very good reasons (IMHO) why you should make the jump.
And here's one more for good measure. The ability to run Windows XP natively (and maybe Vista next year) on the newest Intel-based Macs. If you make the switch and just can't seem to tear yourself away from the dark side that is Windows, then you can always visit it from the comfort of your couch and your lap with your new MacBook Pro and Boot Camp.
So, even though the price may seem greater for the MacBook Pro, once you factor in all the advantages and factor out the hassles, the MacBook Pro is the way to go.
I hope this is helpful.

Sharing resources between parent FDO and children PDO

Hello,
I 'm developping a WDM driver for a FPGA that embeds several uarts and a CAN controler in one PCI slot.
I use the DDK Toaster sample as a basis.
Has someone already shared resources between parent FDO and children PDO ?
One way will be to export a direct-call interface between tha parent and the children. Is there something better to get the interrupt trigger in the child and the memory as a direct access ?
Thanks
Marco

Can I sync a desktop, laptop and iPhone?

I want to sync my desktop, laptop and iPhone - I am able to sync 2 of the 3 - but not all 3 of them.
Is it possible to sync them all?
If not, if I bookmark something on the one that isn't synced, then it won't be added to my iphone (for example).
Thank you!
Kayci

You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

Is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad. We share the same email and itunes account.

is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad...we share the same email and itunes account.

You can keep the same Apple ID for purchases, but set up her own iCloud account for email and syncing.
You can easily and effectively use the same ID for purchases.
What you do is use the apple ID you have been using for app/book/movie/music purchases. In Settings > Store, make sure you are using your usual apple ID.
Then, set up an icloud (@me.com) account for you on your phone, and one for your daughter on her phone. In Settings > iCloud, make sure each of you are using your new iCloud accounts, and not your Apple ID.
Also, in Settings > Messages > Receive At, make sure you are using your iCloud accounts
This way, all of your purchases are using one account, and you can effectively use iCloud.

Initial sync between Desktop Manager and 8320 does not recognize internet connection

Am unable to do an initial sync between Desktop Manager and BB Curve 8320. Am getting error The computer must be connected to the Internet in order to initially configure synchronization settings. Please ensure that you are able to connect to the Internet and try again. Tried with version 4.3 and 4.6.0.12. I have a broadband connection that is always on and have also tried wirelessly. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,
First we need to do a clean install of the DM you have on, this will clean up the other installation as well,
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
After you are down download DM 4.5 with NO MEDIA MANAGER from here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Just for trouble shooting purpose, turn off firewall and virus checkers,
Bring DM, go through the setup wizards, connect your BB and do a BACKUP first
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks

how can i get my 2nd laptop to read home sharing with my other laptop and mac mini.

if I take the laptop off site, i loose the connection
Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.
Connect to your work's VPN connection and then share the files

Why is there a charge for apps on the mac laptops and computers

Why is there a charge for apps on the Mac laptops and computers and not on the Ipad or Iphone? And the same apps are cheaper on my Nook?

Kind of unfair. I get the cheapest ones on my Nook and all my friends that have Iphones and Ipads are free.
Thankyou for answering me though
