Workflow with two machines

Just wondering how people out there manage working from two machines. I have an MBA that I take on the road and use when I'm sick of my office and want a change of scenery. And, I work on an iMac at my home office.
I'm new to Aperture, and am wondering how people work between a laptop and desktop. How do you sync up files? My MBA hard drive is obviously small, so I'd like to just just keep some core photos on it or maybe even just my most recent photos to work with along with a few older albums.
Any suggestions or techniques for workflow and syncing between machines?

Although various user workarounds exist, the issue of synching your laptop Library with your desktop Library has not (yet) been addressed by Apple. IMO Apple's failure (still) to address this key issue is a travesty; Apple's single-user Filemaker has had that capability since the 1980's.
I suggest going to "Provide Aperture Feedback" under the Aperture menu and requesting that Apple provide single-user synch capabilities for two Libraries (such as the laptop/desktop setups that you and I both have). Note that it is important to specify single-user, two-Libraries, because multi-user scenarios are entirely different solutions that - unlike single user solutions - are usually very complex and expensive.
Laptop drives are now available with up to 500 GB capacity, so you may want to consider upgrading the size of your internal laptop drive and using the removed stock drive for backup in an external case. In addition to added speed, the extra internal drive space can allow temporary internal storage of Referenced Masters while in the field if that is desired; or for help with whatever workaround Library-synch methodology is chosen.
Some workarounds include
• Exporting total projects that include Masters from your laptop Aperture for usage on your desktop Aperture.
• Keeping a single Aperture Library on a large external hard drive, and moving the external hard drive among computers. Obviously not ideal for portability, and substantial slowdown usually occurs because in most cases connection is by some method much slower than SATA. New Macbooks with their limitation to only USB are the worst.
I ask that Aperture users with two Macs go to "Provide Aperture Feedback" under the Aperture menu and advise Apple of our need for single-user synch of two Libraries.
Thanks!

  • Internet load balancing with two machine (NLB)

    i have install two TMG 2010 and one is manger and one managed , but seems once manager down , other server not passing the traffic with vip , my question is does it supported like NLB with two machine ?

    Hi,
    Coud you confirm you can ping sucecssfully both of two machine before?
    To check if the NLB status is green:
    In the Forefront TMG Management console, in the tree, click the Monitoring node.
    In the Alerts tab, check that NLB Started for each array member.
    In the Network Load Balancing Manager (nlbmgr), check the status of the current node for all clusters define. Repeat this for each member.
    Run nlb display to view the current state of the NLB cluster and hosts. Repeat this for each membe

  • Urgent : Workflow with two steps

    Hi All,
    i am doin a workflow in which i am using a activity step first to display the PO/SO and then a user decision step for either approving or rejecting it.
    bt once the activity step (work item in SAP inbox) is executed, the workflow is terminated.
    the user decision step is not executed.
    can anyone assist how can i make both step work synchronously?
    Thanks in advance.

    it is difficult to understand the issue. I request you to just do Business Business Object binding from Wflow to task in the decsion step. By doing that you will get the link of the PO/SO and you can use the decision also.
    By the way are the present task in sequential fashion. I dont think so. It appears they are in a fork of 2 parallel branch and 1 necessary branch wich should not be the case change it 2 necessary branch
    Thanks

  • Sync iPhone with two Macs or change main sync computer

    Hi there,
    I have only been using my iMac to sync my iPhone with over the last 4 years.  However, recently I have been away from home a lot and have my Macbook Air with me.  I've connected my iPhone to the Macbook and been able to backup my phone to it.  My iTunes account is authorised to this computer too.  However, when I download the latest updates to my apps on my Macbook and hit sync, it won't sync the apps onto the phone.  It says sync complete but nothing happens.
    Is it possible to sync with two machines?  FYI, I don't sync any music or movies, just apps.  I also have a few photos on my iPhone which were transferred from my desktop.
    If I can only sync with one machine, how do I make my Macbook the main machine without losing anything from my phone?
    Many thanks.

  • Syncing iPhone music with Two computers is not happening

    I had the iPod touch and sold it in anticipation of the iPhone. On the iTouch you could sync it perfectly with two machines even three or four.
    My beef is that the music libraries can't be read or added to from more than one computer. I work in a recording studio and am always adding songs from different computers and this feature is crucial. What I always loved doing was plugging in my phone to my home computer and listening to my days work through its speakers. This is very frustrating as every time i want to add a song from home i have to erase all my songs on the iPhone. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!
    Does anyone know a work around for this?

    I'm having this problem with purchased ringtones. Unaware of the fact that you can only sync iPhone from only one computer, I purchased several ringtones on another of our authorized computers (same account) while I was literally in another state. When I tried to add them to my iPhone, I got the message telling me my existing iPhone ringtones would be deleted/replaced if I proceeded, so I didn't. Now I have purchased ringtones sitting on a computer that can't be used on the only iPhone I own. This seems an irrational policy.
    Since there is only one purpose for ringtones, you should be able to 'add' them to your iPhone when purchased on any of your authorized computers - you have paid for them after all. Is there a way to export them from one authorized computer to another (the one you normally use to sync your iPhone)?

  • How can I split a backup on two hard drives with Time Machine ?

    Back-up of my Imac with time machine is 1,3 TB. I have two 1 TB external hard drives but even if I had both as available in Time machine, it seems it doesn't allow to split the backup between the two hard drives. Any way to resolve this without buying another hard drive with more space?
    Thanks in advance

    You cannot directly split a backup. Your only option would be to open the TimeMachine preferences from System Prefs. and add things to the exclusion list for one of the backups. Then, when you go to do the other backup you would reverse the process and add everything else to the exclusion list and remove the things you had on there in the first place.
    Seems fairly intensive though when you could just go and buy a 2 or 3TB external drive and do it all in one...Black Friday is coming up

  • Operating system not found when deploying to machines with two hard drives using MDT 2013.

    Computers with two hard drives will not boot after the install OS step in the task sequence.  I get the "An operating system wasn't found.  Try removing drives that don't contain an operating system" error.  I am able to get the
    machine to boot by swapping the hard drives' boot order, but the  task sequence won't complete after this.  The deployment works fine on machines with one hard drive, and I'm not getting any errors from the task sequence.  I'm deploying windows7
    enterprise x64 using MDT2013.  This is a new custom image and task sequence generated using MDT2013.  I can't remove the second hard drive because there are scripts that run on the second hard drive during deployment and also because I don't desire
    to remove and re-install 250 hard drives.  I've not experienced this problem with earlier versions of MDT.

    The bdd.log file you sent does not show two internal drives, it shows only one.

  • Sharing a hard drive between two Macs with Time Machine

    can I use the same hard drive to back up two different Macs with Time machine? I'm ok with hot swapping the cables.

    Yes, but TM, Leopard and external drives are not OK with hot-swapping. Never unplug a drive without properly ejecting it first.
    Each computer will have it's own backup folder on the drive and each computer will recognize its own backup folder. There is no limit other than HD space on how many computers can be backed up on an external drive.

    In SCCM 2012, when I do a search for a computer, the results bring up two machines with the same name and mac address.
    Why is the machines in SCCM 2012 twice?
    How do I resolve it?

    You should have one machine mark as obsolete.
    A record that is marked obsolete typically was superseded by a newer record for the same client. The newer record becomes the client's
    current record, and the older record becomes obsolete.
