To share your data:
m Turn on the appropriate checkboxes in the Bonjour or .Mac columns.
 .Mac column: All settings of the enabled type on your personal iDisk in /Public/
MusicAudioData are shared.
 Bonjour column: All settings of the enabled type in the corresponding ~/Library/
Application Support/Logic folders are shared.
Note: Your .Mac 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/DOTMACUSERNAME/Public/MusicAudioData
To access shared data on the local network:
m Turn on 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 machines.
To create a backup of your personal data on your .Mac account:
m Turn on the Backup all my settings on .Mac checkbox.
This creates a copy of all of your settings data on .Mac, as a personal backup solution.
Note: The sharing master can be different to the one used for backups. To explain: 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 .Mac uses a simple and straightforward push/pull concept:
Data being backed up (or shared) always overwrites the data that exists on the .Mac
account.
 When you backup to .Mac for the first time, the machine being used becomes the
master of the .Mac content.
 When you try to back up/share data from another computer, a warning dialog
explains that only the master machine can “push” data. This dialog includes an option
to make the current machine the new master.
 When you switch off the Backup all my settings on .Mac preference on the master
machine, all backup data is removed from .Mac and the “master” is set as undefined.
Note: When you switch off the Backup all my settings on .Mac preference, all backup
data is removed from the .Mac account.
