Call between 2 computers on the same account

I have two computers on the same account. One is my home office desktop, the other is my mobile. This is useful as both computers use the same credit account. In addition, if I am travelling, or I am at the office, people are still able to contact me at the same address.
I am able to make phone and video calls from both of my computers to other computers but I am unable to set them up so that the computers can communicate with each other.
Is this possible?
If so how?
I hope that if what I am asking is impossible I don't have to set up a separate account on my mobile in order that my two computers can communicate with each other using the same account.

You can't for example chat to the other computer using the same Skype names on both.
That said, if you have online numbers, you can call those Online Number(s) and both computers can ring, however only one can answer the call.

It seems that the new version of iPhoto will no longer share photos between computers on the same network. Can anyone confirm this?

You might also need to turn Preview generation off for any existing Projects. Select the Project in the Projects pane and use the cog button at the top of the pane to uncheck 'Maintain Previews For Project'.

Can I upgrade a computer from Snow Leopard to Lion by using an already upgraded account? I have multiple computers on the same account.

I already have an upgraded desktop, but I also have a MacBook Pro that I want to update from 10.6.8 to 10.7. They are registered under the same account, but the MacBook Pro is under a diferent email. Is there a way I can use the software I have on my desktop to upgrade the MacBook Pro, or do I need to take it to an Apple Store?

Launch the Mac app store on the computer you want to update.
To use your Apple ID at the Mac App Store
Choose Store > Sign In from the App Store menu.

HT1657 Can I transfer a standard definition rental between two computers with the same account?

So, I rented a movie on my work computer and haven't had time to watch it just yet and it's expiring in 4 days. So, naturally, reading the documentation here that says the following:
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
I moved the rental to my MacBook Pro, expecting to be able to watch it there. However, when I add it to my iTunes library on my MBP (with the same iTunes account), I get an error saying that it isn't authorized to play the content.
What's the deal? Am I missing something, or doesn't it seem like I should be able to transfer it between computers? Do I need to delete the one off my work computer first?

Sorry but no. Rentals cannot be transferred from one computer to another. As the instructions said, you can only move a rental from a computer to a iOS-based device or back from that device to the computer on which the rental was first downloaded.
Regards.

Is it possible to use Adobe Illustrator in multiple computers with the same account?

Hi guys,
So our company is a small designing tile company,
we wanted to purchase the Adobe Illustrator and was wondering if it was possible to use it in multiple computers with one account, as we have two computers that are frequently use for designing, or do we have to buy two separated Adobes Illustrators for each computer?
Thanks

Merging multiple computers with the same account

Hello,
One of our clients has a home in Belgium (a PC) and one in the United States. They have an older computer there that is connected to the internet and has a several year old iTunes library.
The one in the US (Macbook Pro) has newer content. They would like them to be able to be merged. Is this possible? Will home sharing allow us to do this if we setup a VPN? Anyone know?
Thanks.

HT3819 Why can't we transfer songs between computers on the same home network? None of the threads on the support page have worked!

My shared account will not allow me to transfer a song my wife purchased on our account. Yet every song that I purchased on our account from my computer transferred to her computer with no problem.

Why can't you move the files? What happens when you try?

Switching phones between users on the same account

What would be the easiest way to do that? My brother is handing his iphone over to me and he is just going back to his old phone, just to make things clear

Yea i was thinking the online would work best, where would i go for that? I currently don't have a smart phone, so i would be switching to one and he would be switching back to his old non smart phone

Will iTunes 10 & iTunes 11 work together? If not, how do I combine 2 libraries with the same account?

My 2005 iMac (which can't be updated to Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion and so is stuck with iTunes 10) has thousands of my songs, over 80GB of music mostly from CDs and other uploads/downloads. In 2008 we got an iMac for the family room; somehow although we have the same iTunes account for that computer, we started fresh with no tracks, and built up its own library for family use. Now we've bought two iPhones which aren't recognized by the '08 iTunes/Mac OS, so I want to upgrade the '08 iMac (the only one I can) and I have the Snow Leopard software to do so.
But I'm concerned that once the two computers have different versions of iTunes, I will lose the ability to home-share the music library from the '05 iMac on the '08 iMac, and because of that I won't be able to store any of my older Mac's tracks on the iCloud or access them on my iPhone. (Of course I don't want to have to pay for 80GB+ on the cloud!)
Has anyone got two versions of iTunes on two computers with the same account and are you able to home-share together and access tracks on your iPhones from an older version?
What do Apple users recommend? I'm thinking my best bet might be to combine the two libraries, which as I said are on the same account, but I don't know how to go about doing this. How much time would it take with 80GB? (I could probably do without 15% or 20% of those tracks, but it's still a lot, I don't know if it's instantaneous or if it uploads each track one at a time, I can imagine that taking two days.)
The older Mac's tracks, the 80GB, are the ones I really want, it took years to collect and upload all that, finding photos for some of the more esoteric albums/songs, etc. The newer Mac only has 2.5GB in its iTunes and I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing if I had to reload those, if the 80GB library had to wipe out the 2.5GB one.
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me! If I can start this tonight and have it run overnight (if necessary) that'd be great, otherwise I'm hoping I can get this done Sunday. By the way, technologically, I have the '05 iMac hooked up to a 1st Gen Time Capsule and the '08 iMac getting WiFi from that.

Thank you for replying. Both of the accounts are Admin accounts. The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account. However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1. One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD. However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2). It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load. AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Anyway to solve this problem?

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called. If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through. Anyway to solve this problem?

Hey David Koh TP,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity

Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
Thanks,

Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
E.g from the sugarsync website
Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

HT1495 I have just purchased a second ipod and have 2 computers can i use one ipod on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks,

I have just purchased a second ipod and have two computers w7 and xp, can i use one on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks.

Sorry to ask, how do I do it please. I have my first ipod with the same account on both computers that have different libraries one of which I am building now. Do I have to de-authorise my original ipod on the computer that I want to use my new ipod on with the new library and then register my new ipod. I would rather do this than have 2 libraries on one itunes, but keep the same account details.

Can I swap sim cards between 2 phones on the same account?

I have an iPhone 5 AT&T still in contract and a second phone iPhone 4 out of contract. I want to upgrade the 4 to a 5s and then swap the SIM cards between them. I know Verizon lets you move the phone upgrades bewteen phones within the same account. Does ATT?

I have an iPhone 4 ATT out of contract and upgraded to an iPhone 5s ATT. The iPhone 4 is still on iOS 6 and I'm leaving it there for testing purposes. I have been taking the SIM out of my 5s and putting it into my 4 (using adapter purchased on amazon). This has been working perfectly so far.
Note that both phones were purchased under the same contract. When I say the iPhone was "out of contract" I mean it had been more than two years so I was month to month at the time I upgraded to the 5s -- at which point I went to a 2 year contract again.
Hope this helps.
