Can I have two installations of TBird on my Mac?

Hello,
I am running Thunderbird and I have a need now to separate my email accounts to different software.
Can I have Thunderbird installed twice on the Mac and they will work side by side?
If I do something as simple as to change the name?
Thunderbird1
Thunderbird2
Will they each have their own profiles and work independently?
Thanks!
Joseph

You need multiple profiles rather than multiple installations of Thunderbird. Even if you copy and rename a second instance of Thunderbird so that you have two distinct Thunderbirds, they will both refer to the same default profile location.
Personally I run private and work accounts all in the same instance of Thunderbird. I think most people who run multiple profiles are unnecessarily making life hard for themselves. I'd be curious to see the wording of any rules that you interpret as necessitating separate profiles.
You can set Thunderbird to run with a named profile, so you can set up two shortcuts/links/batches/scripts each of which invoke Thunderbird with a specific profile. You ''can'' use Thunderbird's own profile manager to select a profile but it's a bit clunky for routine use. Use it to create a second profile, then set up scripts or whatever to launch your two separate instances.

Can I have two private mail accounts under one Mac account?

Hi. My wife and I share one MacBook Pro. We have one user account set up on the MacBook Pro (i.e., when we turn the computer on, we both use the same sign-on ID and password). We do not want to set up separate accounts.
With this set-up, can we each have our own Mail account? We want to be able to use Mail to access our respective gmail accounts, each of which has its own separate password. We do not want to consolidate both gmail accounts into a single Mail account. Is this possible? Thank you

This is not possible if you wish to prevent each other from seeing the other's email? If you set both email account up in Mail, they will have separate Inboxes (seen by clicking on the small black triangle to expand to show each one), and if you enter the Gmail SMTP twice, taking care each time to give it a different name, and use each account respective email address to Authenticate it, then they will coexist nicely, but not with complete privacy.
Complete privacy is only available with separate User Accounts. In one User Account the underlying files could be read even if two Mail folders were allowed.

Hey does anybody know how to set up 2 apple ID on mac imessages? Because i have 2 different iphones and i would like to send imessages fron both accounts on my mac...

Associate your mobile numbers with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

HT204053 can I have two cloud accounts on one mac. Different i tunes accounts and users

Can I have two ic;ouds on the same mac. This is a ridiculous set up. Why do I need to create a user name and insert all of this information just to get a simple answer. its no wonder people end up googling stuff rather than using this website.

If you prefer to Google, then Google. On here you stand a good chance of getting a direct answer from experienced users. And the login is necessary because without it we'd get more spam and stupid posts than we do now. Pretty well all online forums require an login for the same reason.
To answer your actual question. Firstly, you can use different Apple ID's for iTunes (and iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) and iCloud itself, with email, Calendar and Contacts syncing, PhotoStream, and so on. There is no conflict about doing this.
If you want to use two separate actual iCloud accounts you can do one of two things:
1. You can set up a second user account on your Mac: then each user account can be separately signed into and iCloud account with all its facilities.
2. Having decided which iCloud account is to be your main one, and having signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it (and enabled Mail, Calendars and so on) you can sign in with the other account in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars. The email, calendars and contacts will appear alongside those belonging to the first account. The only differences from the primary account are a) Email is not 'pushed' but checked at intervals, and b) you can only use PhotoStream with the primary account.

Can I have two versions of firefox at the same time?

Hi,
Probably a dumb question but can I have two versions of Firefox on my system at the same time?
The reason is because of Add Ons that are not compatible with v4. I'd like to be able to close v4 when I need to use an Add On in v3.
Thanks.

You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
When you install Firefox 4 use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profiles synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
The following links show how to do this:

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync (only needed for Firefox 3.6, it is built into Firefox 4)

Can we have two instance of OHS running in a box

Can we have two instance of OHS running in a box with single installation of OHS server.
Something like running multiple apache instance with using different conf file for each.
-Ram

It is true that creating more than one instances of OHS out of one set of binaries (install) is NOT supported by Oracle. But is it possible if you don't care about what's supported by Oracle? You betcha! Yes it is possible (even in 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 OHS) to create and run more than one instances of OHS out of one install.
This is basic Apache concept which Oracle does not disable. But I would again mention, this is something Oracle does not support. How would you achieve this? There is planty of information on internet, google can be your friend:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=run+multiple+apache+instances
If you do this route, note that not just httpd.conf, you will also need to make another copy of dms.conf and ssl.conf. And if you want to have this another instance of OHS managed by opmnctl, you will also have to duplicate (with necessary changes) the section in opmn.conf about HTTP_Server too.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Can i have TWO seperate libraries on seperate disks in the SAME computer ??

1)sony viao, running vista business.
2)partitioned hard disks, "C" drive ( 105 GB ) has the vista OS and everything else, "I" drive ( 121 GB ) has just the itunes media files.
3)"C" drive has 72 GB still free, while "I" drive is practically full of music.
4)my systems person tells me i cannot "shift" the partition, to increase size in "I" while reducing size in "C".
5)one option is to fit a new, larger hard drive, buti rather not take the risk unless absolutely necessary.
6) can i create a "new" user, with his own library +in "C" drive+ ? this way, i can :
.. use the excess space in "C", and not have to change to a larger hard drive
...keep my classical music on "I" and sync to my 120GB ipod to play thru the home set up.
... keep my easy listening music on "C" and sync that to my 80 GB ipod and 3G iphone for use in the jeep and at the gym.
would this work ? would i have two installations of itunes , or just two libraries ?
many thanks to the experts out there who can figure this one out .

Personally, I wouldn't change the prefs to copy music to a different iTunes music folder everytime.
As long as it is playable in iTunes, it doesn't matter which drive it is located on.
Just change it to the C: drive and add music.
1) i create a new folder in "C" for the music i want to store in C , and point itunes to this folder.
Yes.
2) i can move some of the current music in "I" to this new folder in "C".
Yes but it's not quite that simple. Once you move a song in iTunes via Windows Explorer, iTunes will ikely lose this link and ask you to point to it. Not aproblem if you move a few songs but if you do a lot, since you can only do them one at a time.
3) depending on the type of music i'm downloading, i set the path in the advanced settings to either "C" or "I".
If you want.
But I wouldn't.
If you start getting close to full on the internal (as a general rule you should keep at least 10%-15% free space on boot drive) and get a larger drive, set iTunes prefs to the new drive then File Library -> Consolidate to copy everything the new drive.
Then you can delete the iTunes music folders on the C: and I: drives.

Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
If so do you know how to do it?

It depends on what you want to do.
You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud. Is this possible?

No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

iTunes will remember the settings for each device after you set them up for the first time.

Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.
