Sharing is essentially broken down into two tasks:

Data Access: Browse your, or other user, data on a local network or a MobileMe account.

Data Sharing: Share your data over a local network or via a MobileMe account.

You can access data shared on a MobileMe account even when the user who provided
the data is not online.

When data is shared over a local network, the user who provided the data—or more
accurately, the computer (user account) that the shared data originated from—must be
online.

To share your data

µ

Select the appropriate checkboxes in the Bonjour or MobileMe column.

Bonjour column: All settings of the enabled type in the corresponding

~/Library/Application Support/Logic folders are shared.

MobileMe column: All settings of the enabled type on your personal iDisk in

/Public/MusicAudioData are shared.

Note: Your MobileMe URL can be accessed through a web browser, if you want to browse
outside of Logic Express. Typically, this address will take the following form:
http://idisk.mac.com/MOBILEMEUSERNAME/Public/MusicAudioData

To access shared data on the local network

µ

Select the “Look for shared data on the local network” checkbox.

This will automatically search the local network for the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic
folders of all networked computers.

To create a backup of your personal data on your MobileMe account

µ

Select the “Backup all my settings on MobileMe” checkbox.

This creates a copy of all of your settings data on MobileMe, as a personal backup solution.

Note: The sharing master can be different from the one used for backups. For example,
you may have a studio computer that is the master for backups, and also use a MacBook
to share (and edit) data while on the road.

Backup (and sharing) via MobileMe uses a simple and straightforward push/pull
concept: data being backed up (or shared) always overwrites the data that exists on the
MobileMe account.

• When you back up to MobileMe for the first time, the computer being used becomes

the master of the MobileMe content.
