Can I share a FW disk between two computers OS-9 and Tiger?

I would like to access the same volume from an OS-9 computer and from a G4 running Tiger at the same time, is this possible? The OS-9 station is attached to a scanner that runs in the background and would create the files, while the G4 would open the files to retouch the scans in CS2 and resaves them where they are. What is the best way to do that? Of course there is the possibillity to network through Ethernet, but this would considerably slow down the transfers and save times. I could also use the internal disk of one of the computers if I can set it as a FW network disk, but it should be the G4 in that case. Thanks for any help!
G4 Dual 500 - 1.5GB RAM - Cinema 22 - OS9.2.2 Mac OS X (10.4)

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

Can i share an iPhoto library between 2 computers ???

Can i share an iPhoto library between 2 computers, it I store my library on a AS drive connected to an AirPort Extrême Base Station ?

on a AS drive
Do you mean NAS drive? No.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
Will it be wireless? That's good for viewing but...
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

How can I share my itunes libraries between two users on different log ins on the same PC?

Ive recently bought my wife and iPhone 4, and we have a shared library. But she clearly downloads her own apps and music choices direct from the store to her phone, so wants to maintain her own log in etc. How can I share the library in my iTunes on my log in on the same PC to her iTunes on her log I'm on the same PC. its windows Xp machine with latest itunes version.
Ive followed the online instructions for sharing thus far, and the share library does not appear in either iTunes. ie It aint working!
Thanks in advance

When you say you have a shared library... you mean you have a networked external hard drive that you are sharing?
In iTunes, generally...when the term Shared Library is used, it's speaking to sharing a specific computer's library over the network with different computer.
I would think it would be better to do what ya'll have been doing (one log in acct/one computer) and have her create her own Apple acct and each of you log in and out whenever purchasing music apps etc. and then setup individual playlists and pick specific playlists to sync with each individual iPhone.
If you don't want each other to know what you're buying then...disregard what I just said

Can I share one itunes account with two computers?

I have an itunes account set up with one email address. It was originally set up on a PC and my two daughters have Ipods that are synched to this computer. I finally got my own ipod (yea!) and want to use it with my macbook. I tried to download songs using the same email and my purchased songs were not able to be played on the macbook. Can I share this account or do I need to set up a separate Itunes account for the macbook?

eyeinit,
You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93063
This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

Can I use the install disk on two computers?

I haven't actually installed it on my computer yet, I just allowed whatever was going to install itself to come up. If I have another computer, can I use the install disk to put OSX on there or not? If so, can I still use it in case I need a backup load of my computer?

Only if you get a family pack license newer than the installer disk which came with the computer(s) can you install it on multiple computers. Check your license agreement.
You can't use the disks which came with another computer on a second computer. These articles explain more along those lines:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25784
As for backup, I recommend looking at these various procedures:

Can i share a storage directoy between two air apps?

hi there... I'm developing my thesis in Flash CS4 AIR 1.1
I have two applications, the main application and the administrator app...
in the administrator app I can add files to the data base... I'm using the browse for open property... to save in the database an swf file
if the user selects the swf file from a pen drive, it will save in the database that URL f:/swf_file/example.swf
so, the main application when it starts looking for that URL, and there is not such url as f:/swf_file/example.swf, it will have an error
i was wondering if i can have a app-storage directory for both apps.. so that when the user selects a file it will be copyTo the shared appStorage directory
is it possible?

You can have the same dir for both apps' storage directory.
But you can figure out the other app's storage dir and use it.
Or you can just use a common directory in Documents directory to share files.

Can you share an external disk between OSX and Linux?

I am using both Linux and Mac OS X computers at work. I have found a need in some cases for backing up very large files and/or moving them between systems that are not necessarily on a saf network. At least not at the same time.
For this purpose I wanted an external big disk that could be mounted on a Linux system as well as a Mac. To my dismay there seem to be no common modern journalling file system between these two, well dialects of, unix.
I am not going to use and old Windows file system such as FAT32 and the only possibility so far has been Apple's HFS+ with the journal turned off (as Linux does not support writing to a journalled HFS+ file system). Darwin does not support any of the file systems that I regularly use on Linux.
Perhaps I am mistaken - is there really nothing good and useful out there?
/T

I was under the impression that having a journal would be safer, not just for the boot drive. Any volume that is not properly unmounted before removed (or the couputer is turned off) might be left in an incomplete save state, since data might have been saved to buffers only, not to the disk proper.
To me safer would be better. Apple has added journaling to HFS+ which is good, and there are several journaling file systems for Linux. Nothing in common. Not even with Windows. I guess I will have to use HFS+ with the journal turned off, but it seems suboptimal to me.

Can't get homesharing to work between two computers on same network

we have been using homesharing for a long time and now all of a sudden homesharing isn't working. Turned it off on both computers and then turned it back on, but still doesn't work. What do I do now?

Have you tried restarting the router.

Syncing Aperture library between two computers using MobileMe and DropBox

I'd like to have my Aperture library automatically sync'd between my MacBookPro and iMac.
I have MobileMe and I'd ideally like to use it to sync, however I believe Aperture sees the library as a large single file, and so is not really practical to do this.
I believe DropBox does handle this better, but I only have the 2GB free version, and don't want to upgrade while I'm paying for MobileMe (which I use mainly for iPhone syncing).
So, I was wondering would keeping the RAW and JPEG images in my iDisk (outside the library) and using a library in my DropBox folder using referenced master files to the images seem like a workable solution?
I appreciate I need to only use one system at a time and make sure it's all sync'd before using the other computer or risk corruption.

Just curious - why do you think it would be slow?
With iDisk sync turned on the master images would be on the local hard drive, as would the library in the DropBox folder. Might have to use a symbolic link or mount to make the local hard disk iDisk folder appear in the exact same location on both machines, though maybe not even that?

USB commnuication between two computers and air

Hey all,
I was wondering if usb communication between two computers is possible and what I would need to get started.
I want to connect two computers and send data through a usb cable. Prior app was using wifi however signal was not consistent and I need consistency.
THanks!

I see you found a solution, but for anyone else who drops in here, if it's an Android app you would need these permissions to be set in the app-descriptor XML:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
