Can I have the same library on two different computers

I have my iTunes library on a external drive linked to my work computer. Can I link it to my home computer too?

If it is only the media files that are on the external drive, with the library files in the default location of User's Music\iTunes then see Make a split library portable.

Can I have the same library on two computers?

I would like to run iTunes off two computers..work and home with my same library. Can I? How?
Thank you much

I have seen the same info in a few different threads, but I'm still confused. My daughter has ITunes on an older computer, and wants to back up all the info for a new computer. I have ITunes on my computer, and tried to save her files on a flash drive (1 GB) and here's what happened: When I save either or both the .xml or .itl files, and tried to import them to my itunes, I got folders but no songs. When I saved the ITunes Music folder, that gave me the songs, but its more than 1 GB, so I guess I need more flash drives. [However, I was able to import a song that had been downloaded from a CD onto my daughter's computer while the drive was in place on my computer, but when the drive was gone, so was the song......is that always the case?] Do I need to copy the entire ITunes folder (including the .xml, .itl and Music) to the flash drive, and then copy that to the hard drive on the new computer? Help!

Can i have the same application in two different oc4j containers?

Hi,
I have developed one J2EE application and still the updation is going on. So i wanted to to deploy the application in two different oc4j containers. so that one will be having the working version of my application and the users can use that application. I want to use the second container as my test application, in that i can modify and test. The deployment of my application in two different containers went fine. But when i try to access the web application with the context, it is serving from the latest deployment for my request.
My question is :
1) Can i use both applications with different Oracle HTTP server port numbers??
2) All the HTTP requests are passed to the oc4j containers by AJP13 protocol through AJP port to the OC4J containers. where is the mapping between the OHS and AJP protocol defined ??? ie., the requests from this http port have to be transferred by AJP protocol through AJP port to this OC4J container ???
3) Or i have to have two different installations of Oracle9iAS ???
Please help me to solve my issues...
Robert D

Different ohs port numbers would not help as there is only 1
$iashome/Apache/Apache/conf/mod_oc4j.conf
You can pick a different context_root name for your test app.

Can I have my iTunes Library on two different computers? One pc and one mac

I have my iTunes library on my office pc. I just bought a MacBook Air and want to have my library on there as well. I have an iphone that I have synced to both, but it will only let me keep my songs on my work pc. Is there a way I can have it on both?
Thank you.

How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini

How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini ?

Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want. iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.

Yes and no it really depends on what information you are putting on the devices.

How can i use the same id on two different laptops?

When trying to use the same login on two different laptops so that i can connect my nook to either depending on which one is free, i get the error that the id is already in use on another computer?

The issue is embedded in the way the software works. To comply with the
Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 2000, all software companies in this
business keep track of where their software is installed, making
information about the computer and ereaders part of an ID file. So, your
user ID is embedded in the ID file of each computer, but each computer has
a different ID of its own that is also embedded in that file. Adobe's
master server (yes, there is one that you connect to even if you didn't
know it) also has that information, and when you try to use an ID on one
that's embedded in the file of another, Adobe's server blows the whistle,
and as you can see, you can't do that....

Can I have the same itunes on two computers?

I want to have the same info on one computer, mine as i do on my husbands. He doesn't use itunes & sometimes we only take one computer with us. I would like for them to be able to sync together with mine & his laptops.

Welcome to AD!
Yes, you can do this. It takes a little setting up. Here is a CNET video that I thnk explains it very well:

Can you have the same song on 2 different albums ?

I would like to use the same track on 2 different albums.
For example, one track on the original album and the same track on my own compilation album.
One way would be to make two copies of the track and call them different names.
e.g. UseSomebody1.mp3 and UseSomebody2.mp3, then these two tracks can be added to the library.
But this seems a waste of space.
I have an existing compilation album with odds and sods of my own tracks. But I want to pick and choose a few tracks from other albums and add to my existing compilation album.
I know about playlists but this isnt the ideal solution either, because I have an existing compilation album already and I want the album to be in the main library (i.e. not have to go thru the playlist menu on the iPod).
I just wondered if there was a way of having 2 seperate tracks in iTunes that point to the same file.

I made a copy of this mp3 file on my desktop and called it "Kids_MGMT.mp3"
I added the file to library but the second copy does not appear, even after a refresh and a search.
Find the original library entry and change something in the metadata, e.g. add an Album Artist even if you don't need it. Then go back to the renamed copy and move it into your iTunes folder at an appropriate location, right-click the file, and choose Open With > iTunes. It will immediately show as a separate library entry.

Missing files using the same library on two different macs and other minor problems

Hi everybody,
I'm working on a long documentary and I'm new to FCPX (coming from Avid NC and Edius)...I have and external HD where I stored all the media I'm working with (about 1/2T - 1000 clips)...The library (about 100gb) is stored on the internal drive of my iMac and into the iCloud.
Yesterday, I received my new MacBook and today I tried to work on it. I followed this steps: I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with, I put it on the same folder (movies) it was stored on my iMac and I connected my external HD with all the media...Results? All the clips where gone and the red missing file warning was all over the place.
FIRST QUESTION: How can I work on both computer overcoming this missing files problem? I know I should have put the library on the same external drive but It was a move aiming to
SUB QUESTION 1:
I went back to my iMac and everything worked fine except for a warning about one of my events (the exclamation point) as you can see from this pic:
I tried to relink the file...but no files to be linked popped up in the relink file window....HOW CAN I KNOW what's wrong in that event in order to fix it?
SUB QUESTION 2:
I checked the Library info and - as you can see in the pic below - there are 43mb of media in my internal HD...is this maybe the problem preventing me from working on different macs? I tried to consolidate everything to the external HD but still the 43mb thing persist in being on the internal HD. How can I find where exactly it is located? How can I move it to the external HD given that the consolidate option isn't working?
Thank you in advance for your help
Nico

1) Don't know why this is happening. It may have something to do with
I downloaded from iCloud the same library I was working with
I'm not clear what procedure you're using here. Using a cloud for storage might change some file tags. Generally users I think keep the library on the same drive as the media, keeping the library backups on the system. There is no real benefit in keeping the media in a separate location. Often users will keep the library in the same folder as the media. It makes backing up using tools like Carbon Copy Cloner very efficient.
1a) This can be difficult to find as there sometimes is no obvious indicator. It might be a missing element in a compound clip, a missing or altered layer in a graphics file, a missing font, a missing effect. These will show up inside the item involved, but may not be apparent in the browser. A missing transition for instance will not be seen until you skim over the project or try to export it.
2) The 43 MB is a small amount of optimized media. This never prevents relinking. The library is always looking for original media, or proxy media if you're in proxy playback. It never looks for optimized media. If it has it, it uses it, if it doesn't, it uses the original media. If you are using original/optimized playback, you must have the original files. The optimized files are not enough.

Working on the same website from two different computers

So I have a mac running iweb09 at work and a macbook with iweb08 on it and I would like to be able to work on the web page from both of these computers. Any suggestions or am I wishing for too much?

you can transfer Domain.sites2 between the two machines.
but you should have the same iweb version on both machine. otherwise, you will run into hassle of this:

IPhoto 11 - Is it possible to have the same library on two machines

I have a replacement imac 27 on which after three weeks of hard work I have finally got 40k of photos in but I have also just purchased a 6 months old macbook pro. As I will use the mbp when away in the motorhome, I would like to be able to keep the libraries the same.
My thoughts are these, Presently the size of the library is 24.27GB and I have a 32GB cruzer usb flash pen. If I copy the library to this, and then use it to import the library - both the same now.... but away for 6 months or so, and libraries now different..... what happens, if I do the same in reverse?
Or I suppose... I could just MOVE the library to the usb pen - and then move it to the MBP and back again.... would that be better.
My concern then comes when the library is too big for the usb pen.
OR is there another way. I have seen mention of an iphoto sync programme, does anyone use this and does it work? (It is not Apple obviously, it is Haystock Software).
Really appreciate some thoughts as I have a 1-2-1 booked for Tues 8th, and I can't take the imac with me, but I want to take the MBP... as I have a lot of questions.
Carol

Thank you! Would I be better off buying the full version rather than just the free download?
THat depends on what you want to do - if you need the paid version features thenyou need the paid version - if you do not then there is no reason - see their web page to see the features - iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -
What is your opinion of Aperture?
Higher end than iPhoto - quiet a bit harder to learn
IF I purchased that, would I still use this other program?
Again it depends on what you want to do - I believe that IPLM has an Aperture version - again check their web site for information
From what I've seen, I'm ready to step up to Aperture. I have thousands of photos and have been exporting them to my desktop and then importing them to Photoshop Elements to 'work with them'. It looks to me like Aperture would do away with that troublesome step.
Or learn to use iPhoto - any photo editor (including Photoshop Elements) and be fully integrated into an iPhoto workflow by making it the external editor in the iPhoto preferences - iPhoto has the capability to directly interface with any external editor - simply go to the iPhoto preferences (iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> General and set the Edit photo option to in external editor - select the desired external editor and you are set - now when you edit photos they are sent to the selected external editor and when you are finished editing you save (not save as) and the edited photo is returned to iPhoto, the original is maintained in iPhoto and the iPhoto database is correctly updated.
If you want the option of editing in either iPhoto or the external editor after selecting your external editor simply set the edit in back to main window - now when you right click (control Click) on a photo you will get a menu which allows you to select either. - this feature may or may not be available in Aperture and it may work differently - I do not use Aperture

Can I put the same songs on two different ipods?

My first ipod mini got stolen last week, and a new mini is on the way now. Most of my cds that I used before are unaccessible and I want to have all of the same songs on iPod #2 as I did on the first one. Is that possible? How? Thanks a lot. (I'm sort of new to this)
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Well assuming the songs are in your iTunes library, then you just connect the new iPod and the songs will be transferred automatically as this is the default setting.
It really is that easy!

You'd need to set-up your account as IMAP on both computers.
