Can 2 different podcasts have the same name?

My friends and I have recently created a podcast and posted it to Itunes
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-get-a-life-podcast/id529624848
After we had posted for a while a member of our group discovered that another podcast had the same name:
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/get-a-life-podcast/id398385612
Is it possible for both podcasts to exist? Will one of us have to change our name? Can they force us to change our name? I'm hoping neither one of us will have to do that. Any and all help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

If you mean can they both exist in iTunes, clearly the answer is yes since they are both there now.
Look at this: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Get-a-Life-Podcast/107052592671571
If you do a web search on "get a life" podcast you will find even more.
It could be confusion if someone is looking for your podcast and finds one of the others. Also, if one of you Get A Lifers gets famous (and I hope it is you), there will be legal action for sure.
You may want to consider adopting a more unique name. Just my opinion.

I just bought a second mac, should/can both macs have the same "name"?????

Hi, I just bought a second mac and need to know what I should do regarding the "naming" of the new one. Should the name be different.....or just the "short' name? Will the files I migrate over not open if it's not the same name as my first mac? when it comes to the new "mobileme", shouldn't my macs have different names in order for it to 'sync' properly? I'm very confused over the entire issue....

It shouldn't. After migrating files from the old computer to the new one, repair disk permissions. If you're using Mac OS X 10.5.4 or 10.5.3, you might get permission errors, but you don't need to worry about them unless you're having problems running a particular application. I consistently get a "cups" error with 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 but it doesn't affect the computer's performance. It seems to be a bug in the operating system.

2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

Jdcap, two different libraries with the same name?

I am looking for a network packet capturer and I have found two libraries, both called "Jdcap":
1) [http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/jpcap/doc/index.html]
2) [http://jpcap.sourceforge.net/]
What are the differences between them? Why do the have the same name? Their APIs are totally different. Which one should I use?

What are the differences between them? Read the docs for one. Then read the docs for the other. The stuff that's not the same will be the differences.
Why do the have the same name? Probably because that's an obvious name for a Java library that does packet capture.
Which one should I use?The one that best suits your needs, which you can determine by having well-defined requirements, reading the docs for both, and writing some proof-of-concept code with both.

Album Shuffle Doesn't Work Properly When Albums Have The Same Name

I'm using the latest versions of iTunes 7.0.2 and 5.5G iPod v1.2.1, but this problem has existed in (as far as I know) all iPods to date. It certainly still continues to occur on the latest iPod.
Example of the problem: I have many Albums by different Artists. I listen to them on my iPod by using "Album Shuffle" which plays the contents of an album in sequential order, but successive albums in random order. This is good when it works. However, iTunes and iPod have a problem when more than 1 album has the same name. So, let's say you have 3 albums by 3 different groups (Band A, B, and C), all called "Greatest Hits". The expected behaviour is that "Greatest Hits by Band A will play tracks 1-10, then another random album, and then sometime later, the album "Greatest Hits" by Band C will play tracks 1-15. That would be good, but this does not happen. Here's what actually happens:
Some Album / Band X / Track 14
Some Album / Band X / Track 15
Some Album / Band X / Track 16
Greatest Hits / Band A / Track 1
Greatest Hits / Band B / Track 1
Greatest Hits / Band C / Track 1
Greatest Hits / Band B / Track 2
Greatest Hits / Band A / Track 2
Greatest Hits / Band C / Track 2
Greatest Hits / Band B / Track 3
Greatest Hits / Band C / Track 3
Greatest Hits / Band A / Track 3
... (until all "Greatest Hits" tracks by Bands A, B, and C have finished)
Another Album / Band Z / Track 1
Another Album / Band Z / Track 2
Another Album / Band Z / Track 3
As you can see, the iPod treats all 3 "Greatest Hits" as one humungous album. Now, until version 7, even iTunes appeared to be pretty confused about this, but with the latest version added the "Album Artist" tag (which I've applied correctly to all tracks in my Library), so that it can identify albums as separate entities properly, even if they have the same name. (This was necessary for Cover Flow to work.) Sadly, this logic has not made it to the iPod, and we still have the crazy playback situation above.
Since the first day I bought my first iPod back in 2002, I've always used Album Shuffle, and this has always been a problem. I was surprised to find that even the latest iPod still hasn't fixed this, even though iTunes seems to have. Apple, please could you fix this?
iPod 5.5G, iTunes 7.0.2 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

BTW, I'm not looking for workarounds that involve renaming albums. What if I have 158 "Greatest Hits" albums?

Smartform: windows in different pages having the same name

Hi all gurus,
first of all, please forgive me if I'm missing something, I'm quite new on the Smartform argument.
Shortly; I have to modify some smartforms made by someone else in order to meet customer's desiderata.
These smartforms are all different but share a common "structure", which is:
2 pages definition, P_FIRST and P_FOLLOW, which have actually the same internal "structure": they have a LOGO window, then a TITLE window, then a MAIN window, then a FOOTER, and so on.
In order to do my task, I added a new window in both P_FIRST and P_FOLLOW, let's call it CERTIFICATION_LOGO.
Moreover, I inserted a new graphic element under the LOGO window.
Modifying the smartforms, I noticed I have two different kind of behaviour:
1) in almost all these SF, I add a window called CERTIFICATION_LOGO in P_FIRST, then I have to add a windows to P_FOLLOW which cannot have the same name ( e.g. I called it CERTIFICATION_LOGO_FOLLOW);
2) in just one SF, when I add a window P_FIRST, then the exactly same window is added to P_FOLLOW. When I modify CERTIFICATION_LOGO window in P_FIRST, also CERTIFICATION_LOGO in P_FOLLOW is updated.
I can't find a reason why such different behaviour. Actually I'm testing my solution and found that the only smartform that does not work is the only one which I have described with 2). So my guess is that there's some setting anywhere which leads to that different behaviour and this could be a cause of a raised exception... but maybe it's just a case, also because I found in debug that in this standard call in the form PROCESS_TEXT_WINDOW:
perform xsf_window_open using docentry-tdwindow
docentry-tdwtype.
where docentry-tdwindow = 'LOGO' and tdwtype = 'T', the system exit the process at the first execution of:
check xsfop-xsf = c_true.
check not xsf_obj is initial.
What does xsfop-xsf should mean? In my case xsfop-xsf = false and xsf_obj is initial... then the SF is not generated.
What am I missing gurus?
Thanks in advance,
Matteo

When you have common windows (LOGO on page first and logo on page next, etc.) you actually have one window definition. What you put in the window is therefore always displayed for all pages. In your case, instead of creating your new window and copying it into the follow page, you have two different windows, which now must be separately maintained, as to content, placement, borders, shading, conditions, etc.

How to import images that have the same name as images already imported

I am trying to import images into LR3. I have a number of images with duplicate names. Some of them are duplicate images that I simply have stored in different directories and some are images that are not duplicates but have the same name. LR3 refuses to import any images that has the name of an image that has already been imported. Is there anything I can do about this. If not, it kind of makes the softwares useless to me.
In hopes of a solution . . .

Thanks. I'm sure making sure all file names are discrete makes sense. I guess I need to find some kind of bulk re-name utility.
Additionally, I am dealing with a very large set of unorganized images and one of the uses I would like to put LR3 to is to organize the images into directories and get rid of duplicates while inspecting them to make sure that I don't trash differing images with the same names. One of the challenges is identifying these images so I can re-name them.
I have been working with Apple's Aperture, which doesn't rely simply on the name to identify images since it uses a more complicated algorithm to differentiate images from each other. It is one thing I really like about Aperture. What I like about LR3 is that it lets me use actually file directories to store images rather than moving them into its own file system like Aperture does. I don't like having files locked into a system that is software dependent.
Also, I finally found the checkbox that tells LR to import "duplicates." I couldn't find it before. I don't find LR3 as intuitive as I'd like. I've always had to spend more time figuring out how Adobe software does things than I would like. I've had little luck with Adobe's support site, aside from this forum.
Thanks for you helpful suggestions.

Can two bands use the same name on iTunes?

Hi, I'm in a band that uses the same name as another band listed on iTunes.
Can two bands with the same name be listed on iTunes? We hope to eventually have an album for sale on the site and I'd like to know now if it's going to be a problem.

Of course it will be a problem. You simply can not have two bands with the same name. I can think of MANY bands that had to change their names (either completely or just for certain countries) because the name was already taken. Blink (Blink-182), Bush (Bush X), The Beat (The English Beat), Yazoo (Yaz), and the list goes on and on.
Your band better start brain storming for a new or modified name.

Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

TS3899 Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

I guess so. But the email content will mirror on both phones.
If you are talking about your Apple ID and iCloud email, yes, it is possible, but again the phones will mirror. You should not have the same Apple ID and iCloud both.
Why?
If you explain the reason for the question we may have a solution that works for you.

There is no key because that is an important dialog. Why would you want it to go away?

We have three Apple devices. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address will they create two separate Notes flies on the cloud or merge?

We have three Apple devices 2 IPhone 4's and one Ipad2. Only the Ipad2 is running the latest OS. They are all have the same name and are on the same apple ID. We would like to back up our Notes to the cloud. If we each create our own Apple email address (we don't have one yet) will they create two separate Notes flies on the Cloud or merge them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Separate Apple ID's will result in separate notes. However when you first start with separate ID's unless one of you erases the notes you have, you will both start off with the same set of notes, but from then onwards each set won't sync with each other.

Can 2 different podcasts have the same name?
