Can I connect two computers to one device?

Can I connect two computers to one device? I am trying to have them control different aspects of the experiment that I'm running.

That depends upon the device. If it's GPIB, you could
use the E-NET card to convert it to LAN. That would
allow control by many computers. The only problem with
that might be sychronization. That is, Computer 1 does
its setup. Then Computer 2 does a reset. Compuer 1's
setup is now gone.
As another poster suggested, you could always network
between the two computers.

    can I sync two computers when one is using lion and the other snow leopard

    will my data be shared well using Mobile Me?

  • To save my life I can't connect two computers together.

    I have a G5 and an iBook G45.
    They both connect to the Internet easily using my cable connection. There is a DLink router that allows both Macs to use the Internet at the same time.
    But these two computers can't see each other. I've turned on file sharing and done everything else under the sun I can think of. Sometimes the IBook can see the G5 but today it has decided that the G5 server is running on the Ibook and I should access files locally.
    The G5 can't see the Ibook ever.
    I can use Firewire to connect easily.

    Hi Stu,
    Can you connect from one using the ip address of the other? The Finder command cmd-k brings up a dialog for you to enter the URI of the other machine. The first part is the protocol (e.g. http, ftp, afp) the next two parts are so unused I forget what they are. The third part is the host name or address and the last part is the filesystem or file.
    So if the machine you wanted to connect to was 192.168.1.10, and it had appletalk filing protocol turned on (personal file sharing) and you wanted to mount Applications, you'd enter
    afp://192.168.1.10/Applications
    You can leave the filesystem off. If that works, then you can connect. That means you only have the problem of seeing. Each computer is supposed to announce its services using Bonjour. There's a great utility called Bonjour Browser (free on versiontracker) which will show you what's being advertised. I have noticed that it sometimes takes a very long time before file sharing is advertised.

  • How to connect two computers in one room to a router in a 2nd room?

    I have a Linksys modem and WRT54G router in an entry panel in my laundry room.  I have newer house with cat5 cables connected from the router to computers in various rooms.  In the room that we use as an office, we want to connect a 2nd computer to the network, but there is only one ethernet jack on the wall and that jack is used for the first (existing) computer in the room.   I don't want to use a wireless connection for 2nd computer. 
    How do I connect the 2nd computer to network?  Do I connect both computers to a hub in the office and connect the hub to the ethernet jact on the wall?

    HI...
    You can definitely connect a HUB or a switch to the Wall jack and then connect the computer to the other ethernet port of the device. Make sure that the cable from the router is connected to any one of the ethernet port and not the uplink port.
    "Make sure that the cable from the router is connected to any one of the ethernet port and not the uplink port."
    So just for my clarification "You can definitely connect a HUB or a switch to the Wall jack"
    Witch port should one use? Till now I thought one should connect the wall jack to the uplink port and the 2 computers to the other ports on the switch or hub?

  • Connect two computers behind one router

    Hi,
    We have two computers at home. (One with iChat 3, and one with iChat 4)
    We have Netgear WGT624 router.
    We cannot make video chats outside with our AIM/Jabber accounts.
    How should we configure our router to use iChat video in both computers?
    Thanks,
    Yoav

    You should access the Netgear with a web Browser and confirm it is using UPnP
    UPnP allows the computers/Apps to open the ports it needs when it needs them and will allow multiple computers to use the same ports at the same time if requires.
    It SHOULD NOT be doing Port Forwarding (Services) at the same time - nor Port Triggering if that one has it or DMZ as these will clash with UPnP

  • HT1495 can you sync two computers to one ipad?

    We just got an ipad for traveling and have two home computers, mine and my husbands. Can we synd them both to the ipad for our trip? Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks.

    No you cannot sync with two computers. "Sync" being the key word. You can use an iPad with multiple computers for the purposes of transferring music.

  • Can i connect two iphones to one itunes???

    i have a iphone 4 s attached to my itunes on my laptop can i connect a second iphone but to a different i tunes account??

    You will need to be constantly logging and and out of each iTunes account with iTunes depending on which iPhone is connected and being synced.
    Create a new computer login account for this person and their iPhone keeping the iTunes library and account for each user separate.

  • Can not connect two computers to net at same time

    I have a desktop and laptop connected to router.  I can only have one on the net at a time.  If one is one and I try to connect the other it will disconect or say busy.  Any suggestions?

    Make sure your modem is connected to the "Internet" port on the router, not one of the numbered ports.
    Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses?  If so, list the addresses that you use and also list your DHCP server range.

  • Can I connect two firewire devices?

    Ideally, I need two firewire devices running at the same time: One camera to capture footage and one firewire external hard disk for the media files (about 160 GB).
    a) I've been told that I need a firewire external disc, because a USB hard disk would slow down the editing in Final Cut. Is this true?
    b) If so, can I connect two firewire devices to my MBP (74.53 GB internal hard disk), which has only one 400 Firewire port?

    1. Yes, FireWire is faster than USB. However, it would be better to edit on your main hard drive. Use the external drive just for storage and backup.
    2. You can chain up to 255 FireWire devices provided the total power requirements did not exceed the port's capabilities. A single FireWire drive and a camera shouldn't be a problem. However, you should know that some FireWire cameras may not play well with other FireWire devices. If you find apparent problems when both are connected to the port, then you may need to use each separately. In this case you may need to put the hard drive on a USB port while the camera is connected to the FireWire port unless the camera also supports transfers on USB 2.0.

    You can have functional installations on two machines.  The machines have to meet the system requirements for the software.

  • Can two computers share one iTunes library?

    I am trying to map out a new plan for how we store and play music via iTunes at home. Currently, our music is stored on a windows PC and played via iTunes and an airport express.  I recently bought a new macbook and am considering an airport extreme with the hope that I can store the music on a hard drive attached to the airport extreme and play music from either computer.  Can the two computers share one library? I already have home sharing turned on and can access my library from the macbook, but if possible, I would prefer having the hard drive separate of the desktop.  Any reason this won't work?
    Thanks!

    Yes, two computers can share the same library.
    I periodically copy my iTunes library from my Mac Pro to the Mac Mini.
    They aren't using a single library. Each computer is using its own copy and you have two sets of library files.  It can certainly be done that way but if between copy sessions you edit a bit of each library then it is a bit of a muddle trying to make sure your versions are synchronized with each other.  For example, ratings are stored only in the .itl file, so if you rate a song on your second computer it will get lost the next time you copy over from your first.

  • Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

    I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

    Hi, is  the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
    If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.
