If I have two laptops connected to a single wireless hard drive, what happens when one laptop wants to go on a trip and the other one needs to stay home?

if I have two laptops connected to a single wireless hard drive (i.e. Time Capsule), what happens when one laptop wants to go on a trip and the other one needs to stay home?  I'm afraid I know the answer, but I'm hoping Apple has a great solution to my problem.

What if this little piggy goes to market but this little piggy stays home?
The computer on a trip will do snapshot backups on the hard drive that will then be incorporated into the Time Machine backup once you get it back home. See
OS X Lion- About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and enter or paste the appropriate command line. Press RETURN and enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed.
To turn them ON: sudo tmutil enablelocal
To turn them OFF: sudo tmutil disablelocal
Note that turning them OFF will also delete all existing snapshots.

  • Two laptops - one will connect to the internet and the other one will not

    I have two home laptops.  Both show as connected to my network with full signal.  However, when you attempt to open the internet, one laptop will not open and the other one will.  I have tried connecting with just the cord from the router to the laptop and it doesn't work; I have tried looking up the IP address and one laptop address is different from the other - I don't know if this should be this way or not; I have tried doing the start, run, cmd, ipconfig, and I got 4 replies, but when I typed in ping space yahoo.com, I did not get the replies on the computer that will not go on the internet, but did get the replies on the other laptop.  I don't know what else to do - please give me some ideas.

    Make sure the IP address is set to DHCP, and browser is not configured for any proxy server.

  • Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and  Time Capsule (for music and videos)

    Not via Time Machine.   It cannot back up from a network location.
    The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
    EDIT:  And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port.  Second TC not required.

  • Two http ports - one in 8080 and the other one in 3034 - How to remove 8080

    Hi!
    I have two http ports - one in 8080 and the other one in 3034 - How to remove 8080.
    Listening Endpoints Summary...
    (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<ip address>)(PORT=<port number>)))
    (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<hotname>)(PORT=3034))(Presentation=HTTP)(Session=RAW))
    (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<hotname>)(PORT=2102))(Presentation=FTP)(Session=RAW))
    (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<hotname>)(PORT=8080))(Presentation=HTTP)(Session=RAW))
    Services Summary...

    You get check which is the current dedicated HTTP port by using DBMS_XDB.getHTTPPort(). There can be only HTTP port active per database (not taken into account the HTTPs one). If two or more exists than there is still a process claiming that port (in this case 8080). It will be cleaned up after one or more processes are not claiming that port again. New connections will be redirected to the new port.

  • We have 2 versions of Portuguese in our application. The problem is only for Brazilian Portuguese and the other one is working just fine. Locale for portugese-brazil (pt-BR) is not working

    No. Something else is going on.
    Your son may be hogging all the bandwidth but your wireless network should never simply disappear. Moreover, if your son isn't doing anything the available bandwidth for other devices should remain unaffected.
    I suspect that something is miswired, and from what you describe I suspect that link is between the Extreme and the "other computer".
    The way to accomplish what you propose is
    Modem > Ethernet cable to Extreme's WAN port
    Extreme's LAN ports > wired Ethernet devices.
    There should be nothing but an Ethernet cable linking an Extreme LAN port and any other wired device. If you run out of available LAN ports on the Extreme, you need to by an "Ethernet switch" - they are not expensive, but don't call it a "splitter" or you will only confuse yourself. The switch would be connected to one of the Extreme's LAN ports, and you would connect additional devices to it. You can also use one of your Expresses for that purpose, assuming it is the current generation model with two Ethernet ports.

  • HT1583 When I render my project in IDVD, video and audio runs properly, but when I burn it in professional quality and burning is finished there was no audio on the last two chapters, one audio is attached to the clip and the other one is from itunes, pls

    Hi, please help me When I render my project in IDVD, video and audio runs properly, but when I burn it in professional quality and burning is finished there was no audio on the last two chapters, one audio is attached to the clip and the other one is from itunes, pls help

    Hi
    My first two thoughts
    • Shared to Media Browser - BUT as Large or HD - try Medium !
    • audio from iTunes - use to go silent
    - in iTunes
    - Create a new PlayList with needed audio
    - BURN this as a standard Audio-CD (.aiff) - NOT .mp3
    - use the files on this CD in Your Movie project - I ALWAYS DO - and only use .aiff ever - never .mp3'
    My notes on this:
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin. 
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    Minuscular - - 176x144
    Mobile - - - - - 480x360
    Medium - - - - 640x480
    Large - - - - - - 720x540    960x540
    HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
    6. Ed Hanna
    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
    • OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
    Yours Bengt W

  • How can I align two different text row in the same table in two different way (one centered and the other one on the left)?

    Hi,
    I want to center two different text row that are in the same table but one on the center and the other one on the left. I put a <span> tag hoping that it has been overwhelmed the table's class properties The .bottomsel's font-family and the .Cig84's font-family and colour work but the text-align don't: they're both on the left.
    These are my source and CSS codes:
    Source:
    <table width="600" border="0">
      <tr>
        <td class="bottomref"><p><span class="bottomsel">| <a href="index.html" target="_self">Main</a> | <a href="about.html" target="_self">About</a> | <a href="clients.html" target="_self">Clients</a> | <a href="contact.html" target="_self">Contact</a> |</span><br />
          <span class="credits">Credits: <span class="Cig84">Cig84</span></span></p></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    CSS:
    .bottomsel {
      text-align: center;
      font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    .credits {
      text-align: left;
    .Cig84 {
      color: #F00;
      font-family: "Comic Sans MS", cursive;

    Use paragraph tags with CSS classes.
    CSS:
         .center {text-align:center}
         .left {text-align:left}
    HTML:
    <table width="600" border="0">
      <tr>
        <td class="bottomref">
              <p class="center">This text is center aligned</p>
              <p class="left">This text is left aligned</p>
        </td>
      </tr>

  • I was wondering if you could have one desktop audio playing through your speakers and the other one playing through your apple tv at the same time?

    i was wondering if you could have one desktop audio playing through your speakers and the other one playing through your apple tv at the same time?

    Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
    And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
    If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
    No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
    Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
    Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
    Good Luck

  • TS3276 I have two email accounts set up on Mail.  One shows the unread messages and the other one doesn't... how can I get it to show both account's unread messages?

    I have two email accounts set up on my Mail application.  Both pull in and send just fine but ever since I upgrade the exchange sever and re-setup the account It won't show the unread (number) to the right of the inbox?  The other one shows up just fine.  Any clues would be great!  Thank you.

  • I have two Airports, one connected to the router and the other one in another room where the connection is bad. How do I get better connection in that room? Merry them?

    in another room, where the connection is bad to say the least... How do I get the airports to work together? To marry?

    If you have not already done so, configure the AirPort Base Station not connected to the router to "extend" the wireless network created by the other AirPort Base Station. Read this for a more thorough explanation:
    Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations
    Take note of the following in the above, which I recommend:
    If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.
    As well as the following:
    The physical location of extended Wi-Fi base stations will vary according to the building environment and may require some experimentation.
    If feasible for your installation, a "roaming network" is the ideal configuration, and precludes the need for experimentation.

  • Subtracting two waveforms, one aquired using DAQ analog voltage input, and the other one being internally generated

    Hello NI Community,
    I am new to LabView and was hoping someone might be able to help with a question I have. Right now, I am using a DAQ unit to sample an externally generated sinusoid and I would like to alter that signal by adding to it another signal that I could control using the front panel. Whenever I try to just connect the input with something like the sine waveform vi and put a subtraction sign between them it doesn't work (I get an empty waveform graph). To get around this, I have resorted to sending out a signal (through an analog output) and then reading the signal on the Daq, and then finally I add the two together. Doing it that way works, but it wastes two channels and I imagine there is a better way. I have attached my VI, and I labelled the location of interest  "Where the Signals Get Subtracted", which is currently shown using the two inputs.
    Thanks,
    Leo

    What a mess.  I have no idea where you are trying to do the subtraction.  Can you make a very small VI (one whose Block Diagram fits on a single screen) that shows what you are trying to do?  Include the Sine Wave Generator, and you can include a "Black Box" that says "From DAQ".  But thank you, at least, for posting code, not a picture.
    Here's a suggestion that may help make things less messy -- do you know about the Diagram Cleanup tool?  See the icons at the top?  The right-most one looks like a broom next to a VI.  Save your VI first (in case you don't like what it does), Select All (Ctrl-A), then click this button -- you may like the result.

  • It says Login failed. it shows error code: -1 . we have 2 ipads and the other one is log in

    My ipad shows Login failed, error code: -1 whereby my husband's ipad is working fine

    Well, I wanted to have the audio come from one camera scource and it seemed to be the only way that I could acomplish that by duplicating the cam 2 track.  One thing that helped me trouble shoot this was to create a new event and project and optimize all of my media instead of using the proxy, (I don't know why but it worked)
    I was able to edit the multicam track with two camera angles and it used the camera 2 angle's audio... as soon as I finished my project and exported the files.. my hard drive crashed.  I don't know if it was a buggy software, or a failing drive that caused the blank angles in the original multicam edit.  I guess I will have to find out weather or not this new hard drive crashes during my next job.
    I appreciate your reply to this post Tom.
