Can I connect two macs with thunder bolt ?

can i connect two macs with thunderbolt like I do with firewire and IP? I don't want to transfer files by using the control "T" at startup . I want use VNC to control one mac from the other and use thunderbolt vs ethernet.
thanks for any help

You can connect the two.  Whether you can use VNC, I have no idea.

    You can connect two Macs with an ethernet wire, or conect two Macs using Firewire if one is placed in target disk mode, but that is it.

  • Can I control two Macs with one keyboard & mouse simultaneously?

    I'm presently the operator and head audio tech for a major Off-Broadway show. I'm running the show on Ableton Live 6 through a Mac Mini, using a MOTU 828mkIII as the Firewire audio interface to the console. "Show control" is basically straight music playback, plus arming and disarming loops, triggering sound FX cues, and stopping and starting playback. The show has been exceedingly stable, no real reason to worry - but the fact that I don't have a redundant backup system concerns me. Theoretically, I can use our Denon CD players to run the show off of discs I've burned, but it's only viable for me because I know the show; a sub running the show would be up the creek - and if we hit a snag and run out of loops, forget it. Furthermore, those of you who've worked with Live know that in a performance based/show control situation, you can remain in an audio loop indefinitely, without any worry of a CD running out of prerecorded loops. (This is a specific reason why we're using Ableton for this show - the music can keep "vamping" until automation and rigging give me the clear to proceed.)
    Considering that I'll be taking some time off this summer, I don't want this to be a concern for my sub(s), so I've charged myself with the task of building a redundant backup. Problem is, I'm not sure how to do it.
    What I've been looking at is a dual Ableton Live/Mac Mini/Firewire interface system. Basically, to duplicate what's running the show presently, and have it running in tandem while the main playback system goes to the house - but for both to be controlled by only one mouse, keyboard and screen, so there's no delay in the event of a crash. If one fails, I send the audio from the backup into the theatre. There would be no disruption of playback, except for the operator`s response time in switching to the backup`s audio output.
    Software like Synergy and Teleport let me share a single keyboard, mouse, and screen over two or more computers - +but only control one computer at a time+. And I've looked for KVM switches and USB "splitters" but they also seem to be toggle devices between one or another computer - which leads me to think I may have to network the two...
    Any ideas are appreciated, even the obvious ones, as I may have overlooked some or assumed some to be out of the question.
    That`s basically it - *simultaneous realtime* control of two computers from one keyboard and mouse. Both Minis performing the same task at the same time.
    Is there software/hardware that can do it, or can I network the backup as a "slave" that mimics the master?
    Thanks.

    Perhaps you could setup a parallel processing network:

    The website was last updated 5 days ago according to Google. Hopefully their server will be back up soon. I noticed it wasn't connecting when I tried.

  • Connecting two macs with afp

    Both a friend and I got brand new Mac Book Pros for college but he is going to a different college so were trying to get it set up so that we can transfer files between each other and access each other's computers. I started toying with afp but have been unable to get it to work even after checking my sharing settings. On another point I have thought about creating a VPN but have soon come too realize that that could be more complicated to setup and use. Can anyone see a problem, a I missing something?

    Hi RustyBoltz,
    Welcome to the forum.
    You'll both need to forward (map) port 548 in your respective routers to the internal IP of your respective Macs. Port 548 is the Apple Filing Protcol (AFP) over TCP port. Forwarding it to a computer's internal IP enables a remote user to simply click on the Go menu in the Finder menubar, select Connect to Server..., enter the ISP assigned IP address (if not known can be found by going to www.whatismyip.com) and then, after entering their username/password be able to access the files on the remote Mac and upload/download files.
    Alternatively, you can use an online server like .Mac to upload files to a Public folder that can be accessed by both of you.

  • Can I sync two macs with iCloud?

    Just thinking about icloud and at the moment this is the only reason I could think about using it.

    Yes you can but they both must be running Lion v10.7.2 at the minimum and requires a Wi-Fi network.

    Why WiFi? it works with any internet connection, wired or wireless.

  • Can I use two Macs with one iTunes library?

    I currently have an iMac with my iTunes library stored on an external drive, and a shiny new MacBook Pro waiting for me at the Apple Store. If I transfer my entire library from the external drive to a new MacBook, can I still access my library seemlessly on my old iMac [possibly using Home Sharing]? I would like to use both computers to access the same content, in an office and then mobile setting.
    Also, if I continue to make purchases on my old iMac from Amazon or eMusic, is there a way to automatically store/transfer those on the new MacBook, the same way they are automatically stored on the external drive now?
    I do have the capability and plan on connecting my external drive to my AirPort Extreme after the transfer, if that makes any difference.

    See I wouldn't want to necessarily make a copy, but rather copy the library itself; so it is no longer stored on the external drive, and it's new home would be the MacBook Pro. I was wondering if I could access the MacBook library from my iMac the same way I access the external drive on my iMac. Or if I'm overthinking the Home Sharing service and really have nothing to worry about.
    I do have my entire library in the iCloud, and am a Match subscriber, but it is important that I have the songs actually stored on my MacBook so I can access them when I am without an internet connection.

  • How can I connect two macs in the same network?

    Both are connected to the same network. One via ethernet and the other via Wifi (Airport Extreme). Both share the same Internet conection. I have followed instructions for files sharing. I can access only the computer linked to my home network via ethernet, but not the other way. It does not found the server address provided in file sharing by the computer conected via Wifi. Any clue? Can it be that the IP address of the Wifi conected is DCHP?

    Are you using Connect to Server or Shared sidebar in the Finder? What OS X versions do the two machines run?

  • Sharing Vanished - Can't Connect Two Macs

    iMac G5 and MacBook 13" - trying to just share files between the two. Was working fine two days ago. Now, the machines on the same hub can't see each other. Go into Finder>Network and can't see the "Shared" server. Tried to connect direct via IP address...just hangs and times out. Have reconfigured Sharing again and again and again...no progress.
    What should I be checking?

    Restart all your networking devices.
    Computers and router.
    See if that makes difference, let us know if it works.

  • Can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    I retract my previous "No." If you can live with limited performance (slow refresh/choppy action video/no gaming) on the second external monitor, you could use a USB video adapter and a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

    Just a note about the system information that appears below your post: iOS 4.3.3 does not run on Macs, only on iPods, iPads and iPhones. When you're posting about your MBP, it would be more useful to those responding to know which version of Mac OS X you're running. Doesn't matter for purposes of this post, but something to remember for future posts.

  • Can I connect two monitors to a Mac Mini?

    Can I connect two Monitors to a mac mini

    Yes, but how depends on what model of Mini and what kind of monitors.  Early models only had one monitor port.  Later models had a Mini-DVI port and a Mini-Displayport.  Current models have a Mini-Displayport and a HDMI port.  The Mini-DVI and Mini-Displayport can attach VGA or DVI monitors, whereas the HDMI port can't use VGA monitors.
    Beyond that, you can get Matrox's DualHead2Go or a USB->VGA or USB->DVI adapter.  The Matrox product is a bit expensive and the USB adapters are a bit to slow for games and such.  So, again, the answer is "yes", but with limitations

    Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal?
    For example, telnet <ip address of other machine>
    I m a networking student and I have learned to connect 2 machines on Red hat Linux OS on same Ethernet LAN which has same subnet mask. As Mac OS X is also a linux based OS I m trying to connect my Mac with my friends windows based machine using telnet <ip address of his machine>. However, I get a message "unable to connect to remote host".
    Can anyone please tell me is this the problem because of different OS or it is something different!
    Please reply...it will of great help..

    The machine you're trying to connect to needs a Telnet server running on it - telnetd listening on port 23 (usually).
    Incidentally, Mac OS X is not a Linux based OS, it is based on BSD Unix.
