Best way to have multiple emails across multiple Macs with Mail?

So I have 2 Macs, and 3 email accounts (GMail, GoDaddy, and my university)...and I have all accounts set up on both machines, but I only receive email on one of them...if both are open, they randomly go to one, and if only one is open, it goes to the open one. How can I set it up so that all emails go to BOTH computers?
Thanks!

Scott,
Looking for some support/advice on a multiple-computers/same account issue.
One group that I do some IT for have about 12 staff members, each armed with a laptop (Mac of course). Their mail accounts are set up as POP (as recommended by our hosting company ((paetec)) due to the volume of messages). Everyone likes POP.
There are three administrative assistants at the main office who monitor/check the POP accounts for the staff who are off-site with laptops. So "joe" is checking/sending e-mail on the road from his MacBook, and his assistant is also checking/saving "Joe's" mail back at the office. The staff want it set up this way and depend on this double checking system (no sales/customer inquiry is ever missed)
Is this a recommended use of Mail.app? Anyone else use a similar set up?
So, let's say the admin staff have about 10 to 12 accounts on their iMacs, constantly fetching the same mail the POP users may or may not have read yet.
A big problem I have is a bulk of junk/spam/old messages that are piling up on the server. I don't know why their are so many (in the GBs), because I try to keep everyone's Mailbox Advanced settings the same (download to the local machine, remove from server, after so long). But it is not working.
The messages on the server pile up and I don't know why. Without having everyone's laptops in front of me, or checking all their settings through Remote Desktop, I'm not sure where the problem is?
Another problem is the occasional re-download of duplicate messages from the server to a specific POP account. What triggers Mail.app to do that? A date, a file size, a bug? That is when the tons of un-removed mail from the server really ties up/slows down the admin assistant's mail.app.
(which I thought was removed!)
Any advice/thoughts welcome.
Thanks

Best way to achieve multiple paths with quizzes using Captivate 6?

I’m looking for the best way to achieve multiple paths and quizzes using Captivate 6.
Here is the scenario: The learner watches general slides 1 – 3 and then chooses between Path A, Path B, or both paths combined. If they choose Path A then they watch the A portion only and take the A Quiz only. Same happens for Path B and for the two paths combined. The learner would only have to go one path to complete the course.
What I’m finding is Captivate only has one Quiz results page (even if you create two separate quizzes, it merges them). I was trying to avoid having three separate projects for the same module to keep it simple. I see if I have three separate projects I could use the Multi-SCO Packager to merge them for use on my Moodle LMS. But wait, I don't have the elearning suite, so I don't have access to the Multi-SCO Packager...
My question is: What is the best approach way to accomplish this goal? Any recommendations?

Captivate 6 has Branch Aware quizzing. Turn on that option in Quiz Settings and then your Quiz Results page should only show results for the branch your user visits.

What is the best way to have multiple devices on the same account so we can still share the same library. Right now I have 7 and I believe it's causing them to malfunction.

I have multiple devices on the same itunes library and they all starting to have the same issues. Not recognizing numbers previously stored, not sending/receiving tests. Do I need to get everyone separate itunes accounts?

What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network?
One iTunes library per person. One iTunes account per person.
If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
When the inevitable day comes when the kids get older, you will not have to come back here and post asking how all that stuff can get separated!

Best way to have multiple arrangements in one project file?

Hello everybody,
I am trying to figure out a smart way of having multiple arrangements associated with one project. More importantly, this would allow me to have multiple arrangements associated with the same pool of audio files in one audio window -- without needing to import/export audio.
In DP this is achieved with multiple "sequences". I am aware this feature is not in Logic. However, perhaps there is a way to achieve a similar process?
I guess a not-so-elegant approach would be to simply save a new song; however, if I want to use new song audio files in the old song, i'd have to import the new song audio files to the old song. Not a big deal, I guess.
Thanks,
D

Thanks for responding Justin & David,
Let me to try to better explain what I am trying to achieve.
(Currently my problem is that I am thinking in the "workflow language" of DP, trying to figure out an analogous "translation" in Logic. For those familiar with DP, I am simply wanting to create a new sequence, within the same "song" file.
Let's say I create a bunch of audio tracks, and compile them into arrangement A. I would like to work on a new idea that may be part of the final piece; So, I would like to have a clean, new arrangement page where I can put some of the previous audio files generated & used in arrangement A, as well as make some new ones. I'll call this arrangement B. So, in other words, arrangement B is a fresh new arrangement page that uses audio files from arrangement A as well as new ones.
If any previous/current DP users know the best way of approximating DP's use of multiple sequences, I'd love to know what you do.
I will explain what I am able to do if I were in DP (for the sake of communicating my problem, but not intended to begin a DP vs. LP thread).
I will use Logic terminology, but DP concept:
In DP, one can have multiple Arrangement windows that share a pool of audio files from one Audio Window. This allows one to try different arrangements, without keeping track of new/old audio files; and without needing importing and exporting them between songs.
I have been reading the Project Manager section in the Logic manual. (By the way, I am not seeking a DP functionality in Logic; I am seeing how one achieves a similar workflow approach in Logic.)
I realize I cannot even explain myself well. Perhaps I should consider the concept of sub-arrangements, and master arrangement. I guess, sub-songs, and work-in-progress master song. The master songs should have all audio files, and sub-songs have whatever audio files were created while working on that particular sub-song. So, with this, whenever I want to go back to master song, I've got to import the audio files from the sub-song.
This may make sense - & may work smoothly. I've got to try it out.
(Btw, David, I captured a screen shot, but I don't know where/how to post it.)
A major thanks to all who have the patience to read so many words for a one word sentence.
Thanks,
Danny

What is the best way to add multiple images with links into an email signature?

I created an email signature with five linked images by:
* creating new message
• attached the image
• adding link to the image
• copied new email signature
• under Preferences/Signature added the new signature
It all works, but some of the emails bounced back. When we removed the images, the email went through.
I tried putting all the images into Photoshop and making it all one image, used the slice tool to create a link for each image and brought that single image into the signature, but that didn't work as separate links.
Any suggestions?

Hi Bob.
So what I should have done on my PC for all my files is gone to the File menu and used the Package command which would have converted it into a file with the images in it so they wouldn't need to be relinked.
From now on I will only be working on Mac (I gave away my PC) but I'm sure I could use a friend's pc (or at a later point install Windows on my Mac). But to use the Package command on PC I need to actually have the images in the correct folder on the PC right?

What is the best way to manage multiple devices with one iMac - different users with seperate itunes accounts or one mac user with different itune logons and libraries?

Hello
I have just purchased an imac which I am very happy with. In our household we also have two iphones (one mine and one husbands) and one ipod (my sons). We all have individual itunes accounts set up on our previous computer (not a mac). We have sepereate apps and music, although there may be the odd occasion where we would like to share a song (if this is possible) across devices.
I am just wondering the best way to manage these devices using the new imac. Should I create individual accounts to logon to the imac, then from within these launch our own itunes accounts and sync our devices with these. Or should I be using one version of itunes, logging on to this with our different itunes usernames and storing things in libraries.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.
Regards.

Best way to mix multiple songs with same template?

From what I gathered, I know I can save a particualar session as a "user" template, that way I can mix another song retaining all the same EQ, comp... etc, as well as arrange layout. Is this the best way to accomplish what I aim for? I've finished one song, now i am using a song from the same recording session, (same mic placement, and track assignment). Now, I want to start fresh with another song, using different effects and such, but I'd like to keep the same basic EQ and such.......
Let me know my Logic gifted friends!
-Mike

From the Manual 272:
Channel Strip Settings Menu
If you click on the word Insert on any channel strip, the Channel Strip Settings menu
opens. This menu allows you to load and save the entire routing configuration of a
single channel strip, including all loaded plug-ins and settings.
The ability to save an entire routing configuration can be used in a number of ways,
such as:
• Setting up and storing complex multi-effect configurations—on any type of channel.
• Similarly, the configuration of a particular routing configuration for use with multi-
output software instruments.
• Copying a routing or effect configuration between Projects.
• The rapid creation of new Templates.
The Channel Strip menu offers the following items:
• Next/Previous Channel Strip Setting: Loads the next or previous Channel Strip
Setting in the list.
• Copy/Paste Channel Strip Setting: Allows to you to copy and paste Channel Strip
Settings between channels or Projects.
• Save Channel Strip Setting as: Saves the Channel Strip Setting, and allows you to
name it.
• Once you have created one or more Channel Strip Settings, a list of settings will be
shown below the menu functions. The active Channel Strip Setting is denoted by a
bullet.
So it recalls all the inserts and settings in 1 convenient preset (as well as if the track is M or S) but where it is routed or sends info is not recalled - nor Pan or fader, though there is a gain plug.

What is best way to manage multiple projects with limited HD space?

I am running Premiere Elements 3 on a HP desktop with a 250 GB hard drive. I also have a 500 GB external HD attached. The main desktop HD is filled up with programs, photos, and current video projects for PE 3. PE seems to work best when it can access files from the internal HD and not have to access them from an external HD. Since I have many video projects going now, I cannot keep all the clips on the desktop HD so have put them on the external HD. I used to keep just backups on the external HD, but now have to keep some of the original copies of clips and projects as well. So when running PE3 I have to copy things back and forth to the desktop computer HD so I can run it without it needing to access the external HD. This takes alot of time.
Is there a better way to do things? What is the best strategy for running PE when HD space on your computer is limited? Do I need to free up much more of my 250 GB internal HD space so I can run all current projects from there? And what is the best strategy for backing up my clips and projects. Multiple external HDs? Thanks for any advice on file and project management.

First, welcome to the forum.
I do just as Steve suggests, though for slightly different reasons. I need each Project to be portable between my laptop and my workstation. I have a couple dozen 1 - 2TB FW-800 external 7200RPM HDD's, so each Project goes onto one of these. Obviously with the size, I can group several normal Projects onto the same external.
In my case, most of my Assets are stored on a NAS drive, and I will copy these over to the appropriate Project folder structure on the externals. If I have done Capture, those files will be in the Project's folder structure too. My stock stuff is always a copy, as will be my still images. Each Project has a root folder with its name and then appropriate sub-folders, i.e. Stills, Music, etc. below that root folder. All stays together.
One trick for my case is that each external has the same exact drive letter assignment in the OS of each of my computers, so that external Z:\ is Z:\ on all computers. This must be done at the OS-level for all computers. I use labels on each external, so I know that I have Z:\, or Y:\ plugged in.
For editing, this is not the most efficient way to handle Projects, or Assets. In a perfect world, one would have their OS and programs on C:\, their media on a RAID 0 D:\, their Projects and Scratch Disks on E:\, their Exports on F:\ and maybe their audio on another RAID 0 G:\. All original Assets would be backed up to maybe a NAS unit. This would give the greatest efficiencey, but would kill my portability. I pay a price in efficiency, so that I can spend much of the day by the pool on the laptop and then move the complete Project, along with all copies of all Assets and Scratch Disks upstairs to the editing suite. The workstation is setup like my ideal, but if I have a Project on it (using all of the resources of that machine and it's multiple HDD's), I cannot easily move down to the laptop - so I sacrifice the speed for the portability.
One comment on using externals: FW-800 works fine for me. All of my newer external HDD's have that connection and each computer has either a FW-800 card, or ExpressCard. The use of eSATA would be even better, but I have a major investment in FW-800, so I have to consider that legacy. Someday, they'll all be eSATA, or whatever comes next. I found that FW-400 was too slow for me, so I relegated those older externals to just archive. Years ago, I tried USB externals, but found that I have problems with them, plus the connection speed was painfully slow. I gave up completely on those. I do not think that I have any USB only externals left. Goodwill got them all. I also tried to edit to/from my gigabit NAS and gave up on that because of the speed. It now is a storage unit for stock Assets that are copied over to the Project folders.
If you have USB externals, give them a try. Just be a bit careful, especially if you have a faster computer, as that connection can cause problems if the data stream gets too big and too fast for the connection. Things will definitely go wrong at some point in a read/write cycle. Be very careful and keep copies of all irreplaceable Assets and also your Project files. Little is worse than having something get corrupted because the USB connection could not keep up. I've even had overloaded USB's shut down the entire system in a BSOD. Not very comforting, when you just completed 6 hours of editing!
Good luck, and hope that some of this helps,
Hunt

What's the best way to send multiple objects with a message?

I'm considering using an ObjectMessage and storing a Map as the object. Each
          of the objects I need to send will be bound in this Map. Is this the correct
          approach?
          Also, if this is the correct approach, where should I store the constants
          for the Map keys? If I put them in the MDB consumer, it ties the client to
          the consumer and vicea versa. I guess I could declare them in my main
          interface.
          Thanks,
          Bob


OK.
          But for what it's forth, if you were to need to put a Map in an
          ObjectMessage, you might find that MapMessage gives you similiar (if not
          better) functionality, the resulting message will be smaller, and your
          system may perform better. The various implementations of java.util.Map are
          pretty hefty objects to serialize, whereas a MapMessage (at least, the
          MapMessage from BEA JMS) has been optimized to be pretty compact and fast.
          On the other hand, the only kinds of objects you can put in a MapMessage are
          Java primitive types (int, String, and so forth), whereas in a java.util.Map
          you can put any kind of object.

Best way to send multiple emails

Hi,
what is the best way to send different emails in batches in one
smtp session? Lets say 50 emails in one smtp session.
Is the smtp session closed after I call Transport.send() ?
In general I can not find a hint when a smtp session gets established and when
the session gets closed.
Thank you for any suggestions,

What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

(I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.

What is the best way to manage multiple ipods using the same itunes?

Hi Everyone
i am trying to manage three different ipods through the one Itunes, all with very different tastes, not sure if I am doing it the best or easiest way so does anybody have a simple solution on what you're supposed to do, to keep it all simple!
Cheers
Liv

If you have created a new Windows user account you need to log out and then log back in with your original user name. By default each Windows profile will have an independent iTunes library.
If instead you managed to create a new library within the same profile. click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. Click Choose and navigte back to your original which should be at <User's Music>\iTunes.
Your question as posed was:
What is the best way to manage multiple iPods using the same iTunes {library}?
in which case Selected Playlists is probably the best approach. Simply create a playlist for each device, Alice's iPod, Bob's iPhone etc. and sync the device with the appropriate list.

Best Way to Aggregate Multiple Announcement Apps and Possibly External RSS Feed

Hello,
I have two separate announcement apps (one in sub-site A, and one is sub-site B). I am trying to create a webpart that will display content from both apps together.
I have tried to setup a CSWP and have been able to set the query to pull in the data (Although it shows expired announcements, which I would need to eliminate). Now, I am trying to customize the display of the CSWP, including the property mapping values
to display the announcement title (currently working with the URL as a link) and body (truncated like the announcement summary view if possible).
How can I get the body from the announcement to display? The 'body' field isn't listed as an option in the drop down list of mapping values. Do I need to toggle an option on the separate announcement apps, create a column, map a field, or some combination?
Also, I'd like to know if it is possible to add in an external RSS feed. Or, if there is a completely different way to approach and accomplish this, please let me know.
Thank you

Best Ways to Handle Multiple Users

First post....heres my question. Can anyone help me determine the best way to handle multiple users in itunes? Some Background:
My family shares one computer. We have on folder on the hard drive where we keep all our music files. I got an ipod and itunes and added some of the music to itunes and have pretty much used itunes for my music.
Now my girlfriend got an ipod and I am hoping to somehow keep her music away from mine so to speak. So that I can keep synching my ipod without adding a bunch of music I dont want.
Is there a way to handle this? So thankfull for any help!

There is an apple article on this here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
It sounds as though method 1 would be best for you.
Also see how to keep the music files in one place to avoid duplication:
