How can I keep an iPhoto library, update on two Macs without copying the entire library every time?

Sorry if this has been asked several times before, I looked but could not find an answer to my specific questions...

Currently, I keep my iPhoto on two different Macs library by periodically copy the package to the main computer entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then loading into iPhoto on the second machine.

The problem is that it takes a lot of time and I find myself doing less, which means that I am often without recent photos I want to join the second Mac. Is there a way to copy only the new pictures/videos added since the last copy was made on the hard drive, which I can then add to the library on the second machine without replacing the entire library?

I was wondering if it was possible to use the software of incremental backup to backup on the external drive that I could then use to update the second mac. In this case would be that I have to replace the entire library on the second mac every time, but at least it would be a faster process that also copy entire library since the first mac in the first place.

Or I can just select the most recent photos and videos in iPhoto and batch export via the external hard drive to the second mac? I think I read that this is not copy all information such as good changes? Or am I wrong?

If none of this is possible in the way that I'm demanding, could someone suggest an alternative photo storage software for Mac that I can have more control on?

Yes, you can use an incremental backup or clone (like Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper) program for updating the second library - this will not libraries merge in order to not do that is you make changes to the second library on this machine - it only makes library 2 exactly as 1 library each time that you run

  • Move from Mac to PC/Windows 7: How can I move my iPhoto library on PowerPC Mac to a Windows 7 PC?

    I'm a Mac... soon to a PC?  My Apple iBook G4 is in need of a replacement, and I think to move to a Windows 7 laptop.  There is virtually no information online about the passage of a Mac to PC.  Given all the ads of MSFT, I expected more help.

    My main concern is transfer my photos easily without having to reorganize everything.  I currently use iPhoto and there is no version for the PC.  I'd appreciate any help advice with this process.  Is there a good program similar to iPhoto, which is recommended?

    More tips or advice on failover in general would be also greatly appreciated.

    After importation, Windows Live Photo Gallery will recognize the organizational structure that iPhoto had or will I have to create new folders and spend time re-organizing?

    Unfortunately, you will need to spend some time of reorganization. If you have metadata attached to photos, Windows Live Photo Gallery will recognize it. If you have currently organized in folders in OS X, it will make the organization process much easier to copy them into the images folder in Windows 7 and they will be automatically entered in the photo library.

  • How can I get rid of a 'sidebar' (an additional site without on the left of the screen) that is still there after restarting Firefox and even cold, start the computer?

    I opened a Web site of the library without specifying "in a new tab. I expected to crush the existing active tab. Instead, he opened in a demi-fenetre on the left, without tab and without all the icons "Min/Max/Close. I can not close it even by restarting Firefox or stop and start the computer. He now appears on each screen in Firefox with each tab. I note the address of the site to be replaced, but the offending site is https://servicing.capitalone.com/c1/login.aspx.

    There is an 'X' in the top right of the sidebar.
    You can replace it with a different sidebar; Therefore, you can use "Ctrl + B" to bring up the sidebar bookmarks, use "Ctrl + B" once more to turn it took off.

    Click on the star to bookmark to bring up the bookmark, in the lower left corner, if you see the following, uncheck the box.

    [X] load this bookmark in the sidebar.

    You can right click a bookmark to display the bookmark properties, uncheck the "load this bookmark in the sidebar".

    In the sidebar

    1. Right-click to bring up the Page Info
    2. Triple - click the url
    3. use "Ctrl + B" to bring up the Bookmarks Sidebar
    4. Paste the url in search, then right click on the found object to bring up the bookmark properties

    In the list of Favorites library there is unfortunately no column in the list of library of favorites for this feature, but you can click on the bookmark and properties will be displayed on the box under the same information, if you see a drop-down list "gone" click to view the list of properties.

    If you want to see the extent that you have these bookmarks you export our bookmarks in bookmarks.html file and then view the source and use of find for WEB_PANEL = "true" - I have the extension 'Search all', so I can see how many times the string occurs and where.

    It has a turbulent history, it is useful as a reference column, but it was destroyed in Firefox 3, after use in a link, use, restoration of use later but not keyworded bookmarks and not places links both where it makes sense to break. Remained at does not not for keywords because they wanted to destroy the mot-cle--Word key lost for a year in the beta version of Firefox 3. Now, it must be eliminated because few people (can) use it (properly), but they will make this inaccessible box first - someone ' else see the additional error with that.

  • How can I keep my iTunes library to a new installation of iTunes?

    Hello

    I got a new SSD and re-installed Windows 7 and all my software, including iTunes.

    I have my iTunes Library (iTunes Media folder) on a data reader and now I reinstalled iTunes and I want to keep the old library, so in the preferences, I put my iTunes library to the path leading to my old iTunes library, but the music still does not appear in iTunes. The only music that shows it's the music purchased from the iTunes store, but no CD-imports are shown.

    I hope someone can help me with this,

    Thanks in advance!

    Lars

    If you have the iTunes database files, launch iTunes with the SHIFT key pressed and select the library that contain. If you can't seem to them, made the iTunes Media folder inside the application window open iTunes or automatically add to iTunes folder; all the old library metadata that are lost.
