Can I use a magic trackpad with more than one Mac at a time?

I am attempting to pair a MTP with a second MacBook Pro. So far I can't get system preferences to find the MTP.
I am wondering whether the MTP can be paired with only one Mac at a time, and that this is why my MBP won't find it.
The reason I am thinking this is because the little booklet that comes with the MTP says 'after you pair your MTP with a Mac, you can pair it again with a different Mac. To do this, you first remove the existing pairing and then pair the trackpad again'.
Can anyone advise, please?
If it can be paired with more than one MBP at a time, any suggestions why my system preferences search for the MTP is not producing any results?
Thanks

Yes, your keyboard, mouse or trackpad can be paired with multiple Macs. You can even have multiple keyboards, mice or trackpads paired with one Mac. The caveat is that the device can only be connected to one Mac at a time. The device can't be paired or connected with a Mac while it's currently connected to another.
Pairing a device with 2 Macs will be troublesome if the Macs are located within 33 ft of each other. The device will connect with the first available paired Mac and then unavailable to the second. If the Macs are located outside the 10meter range, it's quite easy to power off the keyboard (forcing a disconnect) then walking the keyboard to Mac 2 and powering the keyboard on. I do this with a keyboard from my iMac to a Mac Mini in another room.

Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair, i.e. multipoint, with more than one device at a time?
Are the MacBook and iPhone 4 capable of multipoint bluetooth technoloagy?
The goal is for my wife to be able to watch her Korean TV soap operas on her MacBook and still receive a call on her iPhone 4 via a stereo bluetooth headset.
I was looking at the Motorola S10-HD but after further review saw that it only pairs with one device at a time.
Appreciate any and all input. My Googling has returned no results.

You can only pair one device at a time to your 8330, or any other phone for that matter. The "pairings" are saved to the phone, you can use one or the other and you won't have to pair it again. Once you turn your bluetooth device on and the phone is on, they will find each other again.
Hope this helps,

Can we use same program ID for more than one RFC scenarios

Hi experts,
            I am working on a RFC to FILE scenario. I have created one TCP/IP connection in SM59 with a program ID. Can we use this program ID for more than one scenario. I have written code as below
data: iquote type standard table of ZIQMD initial size 0,
      IPRODUCT type standard table of ZPMS initial size 0,
      wa_quote type ZIQMD,
      wa_PRODUCT type ZPMS.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'
TABLES
    I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
'ID4'
TABLES
    I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
COMMIT WORK.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'
TABLES
    IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
'ID4'
TABLES
    IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
    COMMIT WORK.
when i am executing the code like this. i am able to send the data to 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' , but iam not getting data for 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' interface. ID4 is the connection that i have created in SM59. with program ID as ABCD.
              Can i use the same connection for all interfaces.Please help in this, if we can use same connection for all interfaces. then how to make changes in XI.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Poorna.

Just tried this and I can confirm that my earlier understanding was correct!
One of my colleagues confused me out and the conclusion is,
1. You need a separate TCP IP Connection for every interface with a Unique program ID.

Hi, China6450.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend setting up Manually manage music. This will only allow music to be synced from the computer to the iPod nano. Here are some helpful articles that will walk you through the process.

Only if you have more than one device running FaceTime at your end.

Can my iTunes library be associated with more than one iCloud account?

No, but as mentioned in my answer to your other post, you can share the same iTunes ID with your family and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs.

HT1040 Is there a way to place an order with more than one item at a time? For example I am going to make a few books and have them all shipped to me. Do I have to order and pay shipping for each one individually?

Is there a way to place an order with more than one item at a time? for example I am making a few books and having them all shipped to me. Do I have to order each one separately and pay shipping each time?

You have to order each book separately, if the books are different. Only multiple copies of the same book can be ordered in the same order, see here

while texting with more than one person at a time the incoming texts scrolls to top of conversation. anyone having this issue?

I've heard claims it can be done, claims some have done it, and claims that it didn't work for them. This thread is interesting, some indications it should be possible, complaints that it didn't, and also an interesting work-around:

You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:

Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

Can I back up more than one mac to the time machine:

Can I back up more than one Mac to a time machine? I have a laptop and a Mac Desktop computer can I back up both on the same Time machine

Absolutely.
However, quoting from ASC contributor Pondini's excellent Time Machine FAQ:
It is advisable, though, to partition an external disk that will be connected to your Macs into one volume for each Mac ...

Synching with more than one mac?

I want to synch my Touch with iCal and Address Book on more than one mac. Is there a way to do this? Can I somehow rename the iTunes on each mac the same name so it thinks all the macs are the same mac?
Thanks.

This is kind of annoying. Well, actually it is VERY annoying. I admit I don't quite understand this concept.
So if I go to my friend's house for a party and I want to play my tunes on his computer I, how does that work? I have to erase my iPod to be able to talk to his computer?
I know I could travel around with a cable with a mini plug at each end but sweet marie. My iPod Classic can speak to whichever computer I please.
If I had actually paid for my iPod I would take it back.
Am I over reacting?

Can I use the redemption code for more than one machine for Photoshop Elements?

I want to use the Photoshop Elements that I bought on more than one machine. Is that
possible using the Redemption Code? It says it was used with another Adobe ID.
Thanks

Hi Stover,
Typically you use the redemption code to retrieve your serial number for Elements products. The licensing for Elements allows the owner to install on two of their computers.
See these for reference:

Can't add a goods-issue with more than one item and one is serial managed.

Hi,
We are trying to issue more than one item to a production order using the DI API. If none of the items is serial managed, they all are accepted and the goods-issue Add is successful. If one the items is batch-managed, the goods-issue Add is also successful. I am able to add the goods-receipt if I it contains only one item and it is serial-number managed. However, if Im issuing more than one item and one or more of the items is serial number managed, then the DI API will not add the goods-issue. The error message that appears refers to an item that is not among the items being issued. The message is:
-10: (IGE1.WhsCode)(line: 3), Item A00006        with system serial 1 is not in stock.
Again item A00006 is not even in the group of items being issued.
The code I am using for the serial number part is:
With oGoodsIssue.Lines.SerialNumbers
          .SystemSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("SysSerial").Value
          .ManufacturerSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("MfrSN").Value
          .InternalSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("IntrSerial").Value
          .SetCurrentLine(n)
          .Add()
          rs.MoveNext()
          n += 1
End With
The rs is a recordset that the code is looping through as the serial numbers are being added.
The error message does not occur during this code. It occurs when it tries to add the full goods-receipt. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Try to do the ".Add" only if you need it. Doing a ".add" without assignation may cause the error you have.
I guess your n variable start at 1 or 0, so you could put code like this :
With oGoodsIssue.Lines.SerialNumbers
if n = 0 then (or 1, also I don't the correct syntax of your programming language)
.Add()
end if
.SystemSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("SysSerial").Value
.ManufacturerSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("MfrSN").Value
.InternalSerialNumber = rs.Fields.Item("IntrSerial").Value
.SetCurrentLine(n)
rs.MoveNext()
n += 1
End With
