Can 2 Mac Mini's share the same wireless keyboard

I have just purchased a 2nd mac Mini and tried to get it setup but it would not accept my keyboard. It took a wahile but did recognoze the mac address but did not seem to accept it and kept on searching. Does it need it's own keyboard? It accepted the mouse.

In simple terms, no. You can use a kvm A/B switch to select which mini the keyboard and mouse will control. Think of this, if both minis always listened to one keyboard and mouse they will both be doing the same thing together.

Can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?

I'm looking at getting an Intel iMac which will let me throw away my old PC - Yeah!
I will have a couple of Win apps that I will need to hang on to (Quicken - Quicken for Mac is horrible, but that's another tghread). Anyway, can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?
My thought would be to allow my wife to access Quicken from Parallels and not have to reboot. She will only need lightweight access and the overhead of running virtualization wouldn't impact her. I, on the other hand, would want to occasionally boot natively into Windows and run the same application with the same datafile. Is this possible?
Thanks and looking forward to joining the MacIntel world!

Thanks for all of the freplies. I suspected that BootCamp and Parallels could not shar ethe same partition, but wanted to verify. To address some of the other posts:
Re: Quicken vs MoneyDance - I looked at MoneyDance a while back and while it is comparable to Quicken for Mac, it isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows (ergo, Quicken for Mac isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows!). But, as I said, that is a topic for another thread!
Re: Using Bootcamp/Parallels for only one app: I actually have several apps that I still need access to on Windows. I work with many business applications than only run/are supported on Windows as well as receive some complex Office documents which Office for Mac cannot handle. Quicken (for Windows 2007) was just the best example of a consumer app where I could see wanting access from both OS X and Windows.

Can two iTunes accounts share the same appleTV simultaneously ?

can two iTunes accounts share the same appleTV simultaneously ?

This should help:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder, but you can place the music elsewhere if you change the access permissions manually (don't start tinkering with permissions unless you're confident you know what you're doing and can reverse things if they get messed up).

Can 2 apple ids share the same library..ie music, videos,apps ect

I have an apple id and my wife would like to get her own as well, but we would like to share the same library, music, apps, books, ect. We are trying to avoid paying twice for same items but want our own id for ichat and personnel devices. Is this possible and if so how can I do this?

If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there. You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password. In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).

Hello gdufour,
Actually i've got this configuration:
1.) One serverfarm (farm1).
2.) In this serverfarm, i have two real servers des1 and des2.
3.) The real servers are using VIP 10.24.16.10.
4.) The loadbalance is roundrobin using http with headers.
I want to have:
1.) One new server (a.b.c.d), it can be in the same subnett.
2.) This server don't know if can belong to serverfarm farm1.
2.) When i reach to http://index/url/url1, this has to be to VIP 10.24.16.10.
3.) When i reach the link, the VIP 10.24.16.10 redirect to server a.b.c.d.
4.) When the server a.b.c.d down, the serverfarm farm1 have to take the load of the url.
Is posible this configuration?
Thank you.
Best Regards

Can two Portal install share the same Ap Server?

Portal 3.0.9
Solaris 8
Hi All,
Is it possible to install two versions of portal on separate machines and configure it to share the same
application server where one of the Portals is installed?

Correction:
In my previous post I meant to say Apache HTTP Server
instead of Application Server.

Can mac books and mac book pros share the same accesories?

I am getting a mac book but I have a friend with some accesories like a keyboard cover and a hard cover for her mac book pro that she is getting rid of. Does any one know if it would still fit? She has a 13'' mac book pro.The only reason why I am asking is because I wont have my mac book for another 2 months.

The difficulty with these particular accessories is that it's difficult to judge whether the sizes are exactly the same, or at least close enough to work. There's no guarantee and I don't think there's any easy way to tell.
In your situation I would buy the accessories from your friend, then when you get your MacBook see if they fit. If they DON'T fit then put them on eBay and get your money back for them.
Or maybe ask your friend if she will hold off selling them until you get your MacBook and can try them.

Can two apple IDs share the same library?

Mac newbie here needs some advice...
I just got a new iMac and have created separate accounts for my husband and me on it. We used to share an apple ID for music, but now I'd like for us to have our own apple IDs especially with the iCloud capabilities I don't want my iPhone stuff going to his Mac account, etc. Problem is that all his music is in my library and he doesn't want to have to re-buy it again. So I figured out that I can share my music library with his account on the iMac, and I have him signed in to iTunes with his separate Apple ID... good so far... but what's going to happen when he buys something? Will it go into my library (as some sort of combined one), or into a separate one?
The other issue I encountered is that when I went to enable automatic synchronization across devices for him, I got a message saying that it was already logged in with another apple ID (I'm assuming it was referring to mine?). That's not good.
I want us both to have totally separate IDs etc, especially for iCloud backups etc, but I wanted to be able to share music libraries. Is that possible? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Can 2 different iphones share the same apple ID?

Can my husband who just got a I phone use my apple ID? He wants to get our Itunes from the computer on his phone.

You can share iTunes content using the same Apple ID, but for everything else...iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime...your husband needs his own Apple ID. If you don't set things up that way, you'll have a mess on your hands. You can create an Apple ID here:

Must be a verified email address.

HT201178 I have a Mac mini with Magic Trackpad and wireless keyboard. The keyboard and track pad got wet so I have purchased new ones. Problem is how do I get past the log in screen to set up the pairing of the devices? The old ones do not work

How do I get past the login screen to pair my new wireless keyboard and trackpad when the old ones are water damaged and don't work

Have you tried pulling the batteries out of the damaged ones so that they are completely off; then shutdown your Mac Mini via the power button on the back right. Turn on your new keyboard and trackpad then power your Mini back up? The auto detection should find your new keyboard and trackpad.

Can iPhoto and Lightroom share the same master file?

I have loaded all my images into iPhoto. Lightroom cannot see the files until I made alias folders and placed them in Pictures. Now lightroom can see them. Lightroom is non destructive and should not damage the masters. Is that the same for iPhoto? Any problems in sharing the same master file?

I have 20k images that take up 100G. Eighty percent are JPEG and have already been edited. iPhoto seems ideal for this group. Kids and grandkids like to go down memory lane and this seems to be easy to navigate. The remaining 20% are mostly raw files and need editing. I already have Lightroom and had been using it in my old PC. I am new to modern Mac’s having changed over to PC from Mac 10 years ago. I loaded all my photo files to iPhoto not knowing that the master file was hidden.
Lightroom is a great editor. Almost all the advanced photographers in our club use Lightroom for 90% of their images. Ten % require layer capability so they use Photoshop CS5 or Elements. By the way there is now a layer plug in for Lightroom that works pretty well.
The work flow I envision, if possible, would be to enter new raw images into Lightroom and edit. The master raw images could go anywhere. Could they reside in the iPhoto master file? The export would be jpeg to iPhoto. For existing images I would use the iPhoto master list to import the 20% group to Lightroom. You don’t really import the images but borrow the image. The masters are never altered. When you export an edited jpeg, the master stays unaltered in it’s original file. Does iPhoto operate the same way.
I read where Lightroom jpeg images cause a problem for iPhoto. Still a problem?

I need to sync my laptop and iphone to my bosses laptop and iphone. Can two apple users share the same icloud? If not, any suggestions on how to make this work? We need to be able to pull files, etc

Yes you can both use the same iCloud account.

Can multiple apple ids share the same computer?

Would my children have the same access to music and apps we've downloaded if they open their own and login with their own apple i.d. account?

Only if iTunes is using a "shared" folder for EVERY user's library under EVERY user account. Even then, you will probably encounter problems with "authorized" content for one account being unavailable for others.

Can multiple apple IDs share the same library on the same computer?

We have four devices using the same apple ID. Kind makes same time and messaging all messed up. So I want to create a separate ID for my wife for her devices, but use the same library and applications. Is that possible?

Can win7 and winxp share the same library?

I have a dual boot Dell pc. XP and Win7. iTunes on XP uses a lib on an external device defined as Drive M:. iTunes on Win7 sees the same external device as drive N: and won't acknowledge the iTunes library.

See make a split library portable. You want the library files as well as media on the external drive. You should probably tweak things so that both systems use the same letter, but once the library is in the correct shape it should work regardless.
