2 HP laptops appear to be connected...cannot download updates to one while the other is on

Hello...I am stumped.I have 2 hp laptops (one is an envy ts m7 and the other is a hp stream), both are currently running windows 8.1.  I recently movedand since the move it seems that the laptops are connected, as in I cannot seem to use one while I am also using the other. I do not remember this being an issue before my move. I was having difficulty connecting to the internet at the same time, however that seems to have resolved after some updates installed. I did look up my IP address and both laptops seem to have the same IP address (but I did not get an error saying that there was a conflict...my printer however does give me an error saying that another computer is connected). The whole reason that this issue came to my attention is because I have been trying to get the windows 10 update. I was using my hp stream and got a notification that it was ready. I started installing it and decided to check my envy to see if it too was ready (i requested the update on the envy first). The update was not there on the envy, but i did have some other updates waiting. I got an error saying that other updates were installing...ie on the stream. I checked the update history and it gives me a sequence of updates from both the envy and the stream as if they were installed on the same computer. I concerned that this will interfere with my update to windows 10 on my envy (the envy is my main computer), because it will think I have already installed it. It is also annoying not be able to use both laptops at the same time. As a side note, we decided to purchase our own router/modem (instead of renting one through our cable company) I did a search on this topic here on the forum and found a few similar things, so I tried to release/renew my ip address on one of the laptops, but that did not change the ip address at all. I also tried to log in to my windows account thinking that they were connected through that, but it has no other devices listed in my account. Thank you for your help!!

Check the Apple web site. They are supposed to have a USB flash drive with Lion on it available in August for $69USD, but I don't know the international availability...

    Hello,
    see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html  here >>> How many computers can I install on
    I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
    Good luck!

  • Forcing a Mac with 2 connected ethernet ports to use one over the other

    I have a G5 Quad and a Mac Pro that are connected to a large network (including internet) on ETHERNET 1, and they are also directly connected over ETHERNET 2 (using Jumbo Frames). I need to ensure the G5 uses ETHERNET 2, and not ETHERNET 1, to connect to the Mac Pro. They must use both connections. How do I do this?
    Tim

    I've solved the problem. When connecting to the other computer, don't map the drive from the Finder sidebar. Instead, go to the Finder, hit Cmd+K, or select Go > Connect to Server..., then type the IP address of the other computer's ethernet port that you are directly connected to. Then write an Applescript to automatically mount the drive on startup.
    Example Applescript:
    +mount volume "afp://192.168.1.1/"+
    Compile and Save the script as an Application with none of the Options checked. Place the script on the remote computer (the G5 Quad in my situation) in a suitable location like the Documents folder for your Username.
    Next, on the remote computer, open System Preferences > Accounts, and select the correct account. Select the Login Items tab, and click the + to add your Applescript application to the list. After adding the Applescript, check the Hide checkbox so the script runs in the background. Close System Preferences and you're done. Reboot the computer to verify it connects, and voila!

  • Cannot download updates in SCCM after SP1 Updrade

    Hi all,
    I have upgraded my SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 last week and since then I cannot download updates.
    It gives the error message "Error: Failed to download content id 16779439. Error: Access is denied
    I have tried reinstalling WSUS onto the server which seems to be working fine, but I still cannot download the updates in SCCM.
    I am a full administrator of SCCM and a domain admin on the Server itself.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Richard

    Im not sure what permissions I should be looking for, Everyone has read access to the foler, there is a Network Service account with full access, and other than that WSUS Administrators and Administrators groups have full access also.
    Here is a sample of the logs:

  • I cannot download Mavericks. Every time the file download stops a message appears that says the file is damaged and cannot be used to install Mavericks. I delete the file, download again and the same message appears. What can I do?

    I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
    I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
    Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

  • HT4356 I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb.  All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing.  Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

    I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb.  All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing.  Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

    Rufus Cat-
    Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
    I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>  Therefore you need to take another approach.  To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz.  It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
    There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
    Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint.  Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.  <Printopia for Macintosh>  <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

  • I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6.  However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook.  I have read other threads but have not found answer.  help!

    I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists.  My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6.  I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone.  I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6.  However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook.  I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists.  Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes.  However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes.  I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists.   I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show.  Please help me.  I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists.  Thank you!

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

  • Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

    Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

       Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

  • Cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store

    Hello,
    I cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store.
    I says "Failed to download" and error has occurred
    What is wrong?
    is it my Macbook?

    I had a problem way back in the olden days, i.e., FCPX 10.0.2, and finally gave up and called the Apple Store using a land-line phone.
    Anyway, (this was a couple years ago), if I remember right, they passed me off to someone in the FCPX group and I got the App. However, this was not a really goo way to go because for many updates afterward, everytime I wanted to update I had to go thorugh the same ritual.
    Finally, probably around 10.0.8, things got "fixed" and since then I've been able to go direct and download it from the App Store without having to make a phone call.
    My suggestion would be to try calling the App Store. Maybe, if there is a "global problem" and they get a lot of calls, they will fix it.
    Heck, maybe write a Knowlede Base (KB) article about it.
    Disclaimer: I didn't check to see if there was one.
