GUID or APM? For two different Mac OS X - PPC and Intel?

I need to backup two Mac OS X systems for just in case situations. These two systems have to be bootable with the respectively Macs.
I intend to partition a spare FireWire hard disk into two partitions.
First partition will be for an Intel-based MacBook Pro.
Second partition will be for a PPC-based Mac mini.
Should I partition the hard disk either in GUID or APM? I know GUID is for Intel-based Macs and APM is the older partitioning scheme. I guess I can't have one GUID partition and the other APM.
After partition, I will use Disk Utility's Restore feature to clone my old Mac OS X systems to the respective partitions. And hope they will boot with my two Macs.
Help? Advice anyone?

I suggest that you take a look at the following links as they may provide you with an answer :

MRP type for two different types requirments( Sale order and PIRs)

Dear All,
We have requirment some materials we have sales order and PIRs. For sales order we want to consider with "MRP type" as PD and PIR we want to consider "MRP type" as VB manual reorder point planning.
Is there any stadard solution.
If standard solution not possible also poivde some inputs on enhancement.
Regards
Sailendra

Sailendra,
your post is confusing, how you want to different MRP type for same material?
and why its needed?
1) you can use MRP type PD , and incoming sales order will search in existing stock or will create procurement proposal ( depends upon what strategy you are using)
2) If you are using VB then when ever you stock will fall below the reorder point you maintained in material master , system will create new procurement proposal, here the manual means the value you need to maintained manualy for reorder point and safety stock.
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
hope it will help you.

JInitiator - 2 versions for two different systems

I had a requirement of having two differnt versions of Jinitiator loaded on a single client system. This is requiremnt for two different applications say application 'a' and application 'b';
Will browser recognise which one to choose depending upon application ?

Yes, the confirguration information on the application server defines which version of the plug ins to us and so the correct one will be loaded.

Same Apple ID for two different country accounts?

Is it possible to use just one Apple ID for two different iTunes accounts? I've recently located to Australia from the uk and want to run an iTunes Store account in each but with just one apple id and email address. Can it be done?

You have to be in a country to use its store (and an account can only have one billing address on it), so whilst you are in Australia you can only use the Australian store, you cannot use the UK store (including redownloading past purchases). You can either update your billing address on your existing account to have your Australian address on it, or create a new account with your Australian billing address on it
Changing country on an account : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - Apple Support.

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

HT201250 Can I use Time Machine on two different Macs to back up to one external drive?

Can I use Time Machine on two different Macs to back up to one external drive?
I have one 1T Western Digital backup drive that works well with Time Machine and my MacBook Pro. I now want to back up my wife's MacBook Air using Time Machine on her Mac and want to know if I can use the same WD external drive or if I need to get a 2nd back up drive? If I can use one external drive for the two Macs do I need to do something special on the drive or will Time Machine do it automatically?

Yes. You will need to configure Time Machine preferences on each computer to backup to the same drive. Note that you cannot connect the backup drive to both machines at the same time.

I'm sorry I just saw the last post. I had two users on my hard drive, one for me and one for my daughter, but I am not sure what you mean by partioning my external????? I have heard the term before, but don't know how to do it. I am having serious crashing issues with this computer and believe I really need to do a clean install. I just want to make sure everything for both ipods is safe (is???? I think so, everything is......I hate when the English language does this to me!)

Is it possible to edit my website with web '08 from two different Macs?

Is it possible to work on iWeb on two different MACS?
I've attempted to move my domain.Site folder from my laptop and place it on my Power PC in the iWeb folder, but I continue to receive a familiar error message can't read the Domain.Site.
Does anyone have any answers?
Both are running iweb 08'

You could make the file available for download via your public folder and when one user updates it they could change the title to include the date of editing and upload it back to the Public folder and delete the original file. . To do that you'd want to archive (zip) the file (control-click on the file and select "Make archive of file xxxx" so it would upload without problems. Not as convenient but doable. You would just have to make sure to identify the date of editing so there would be no problem.

FCE HD 3.5 Crashing at Startup on Two Different Macs

The software started crashing on my Power Mac a couple of days after install. I tried trashing the preferences--but It still crashes again every time I open the application.
Then on the advice from someone on this forum, I trashed everything associated with FCE, Soundtrack, and LIvetype.
Yet the problem persists.
Then we got a brand new iMac last week and installed FCE HD 3.5 (from a different disk) and I am having exactly the same problem.
I am trying not to pull my hair out.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Basically, whenever I click on the application to open it, it will start opening, and then will crash within 5 seconds.
The only way I have found to rid this problem is to trash the preferences folder. Then afterwards, the application will work fine for one editing session. But then the next time I try to launch the application, it starts to crash at start up again. And will crash continually at startup until I trash the preferences again.
This is occuring to me on two different Macs where I have installed FCE 3.5 HD separately using different disks.
Both Macs are purchased within the last year, have tons of RAM, Quicktime Pro, the latest OS etc. etc.
My intuition tells me that it is some kind of FCE software problem, since I am having the exact same problem on two different systems.

Time Machine to Backup two different mac computers on a single firewire 500

I have a new generation MacBook and iMacG5 and a single Maxtor 500 GB external hard drive which has two firewire inputs. I connexted both macs by firewire to this external hard drive. I used Time Machine on both computers which are on at the same time. However I can see Time Machine works well on one mac - where I can see each hourly backup but the other mac backups don't show up. I called Tech support and was told that I cannot have both macs on at the same time accessing the same external hard drive. I see two different files for each computer's backup so why can't both computers be running Time Machine at the same time?
So...I thought I should buy the new Time Capsule 1 TB BUT I worry the same access issues will occur. How does the Time Capsule drive wirelessly operate with two macs simultaneously when I was told that Time Machine would not operate via firewire with multiple computers on a single drive.
Any suggestions...are the Tech Support folks incorrect about using Time Machine with firewire access simultaneously with two different macs?

What you cannot do is connect two computers to a single FW drive enclosure at the same time. You can connect the drive to each computer separately. Time Capsule functions as a network drive thus any machine on the network can access the shared network drive. This is not the same as using an external FW drive.
If you want to use your single FW drive to backup two computers, I suggest you first partition the drive into two equal partitions. Use one partition for the TM backup of one computer, and the other partition as the TM backup for the second computer. However, you will need to physically move the drive from one computer to the other in order to perform backups.
Alternatively, if you have a local network set up you can physically connect the drive to one computer, then set up file sharing so that the other computer can mount the shared drive and use it for backup via the Ethernet network (or wireless if it's a wireless setup.) Unfortunately, I'm not positive this will work because TM is known to have some problems backing up to network devices although it is supposed to be able to backup to network drives.
Nevertheless, you should set up two partitions on the drive for each computer in order to keep the backups separate.

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Same number range for two different series groups?

Dear all,
There are two scenarios
1.Normal export under bond case, series group is 20 and number range maintained,running number is 300016
2.Another scenario,where ARE1 document generation for Deemed exp customer(already customised) , series group is 30.
But, client requirement is , for this second scenario also, system should pickup running number range of series group 20(under bond case) as per excise legal requirement
Ie running number is for series group 20 is 300016
For the above deemed exp case (second scenario)it should pickup 300017
And again when they do under bond case(first scenario), it should pick up 300018 like that
Is it possible to maintain the same number range for two different series groups(20 and 30)?
Even if you maintain the same number range for 30, as per running number range of 20
Will the system update simultaneously the same number range for 20 and 30 series groups?
Please suggest the way.

With two different series groups, it is not possible to have the same number range. Even if you maintain it, they will be treated independently.
Normally, you should not use different series groups if the same number range has to be used. In fact, the concept of series group has been developed to ensure that number ranges can be maintained separately.
