Can two computers use the same backup??

I restored a seperate Macbook pro from the Time machine backup of MY Macbook. So I have two computers operating from the same backup. Is that recommended??

Yes, it should do. Once you change the name of the computer make sure you reset TM
See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
When you start the backup it will create a new sparsebundle.. (like a virtual disk that holds the backup on network drives) and you will be able to check that it is correct because it should be a new full backup.
Then you can do a full backup of one of the machines.. the other machine can continue to use the original backup.

Yes, READ the article from which the question was posted as it explains how to do so in detail.

Can two players use the same game app without erasing each other's scores?

Can two players use the same game app on the same device without erasing each other's scores? My two sons build up their characters and progress in their games, then the other one wants to play, erasing the first son's progress.
Is it possible to create two player identities in the Game Center?
Is it possible to have two different Apple User ID accounts on the same device? Is that even desirable?
Many thanks!

You can create as many individual user accounts on a Mac as you like. Then, any one or more of those users can remotely log in from another Mac and use that Mac as their own, simultaneously. Each account will remain separate from all others.
However, since each user needs to have a Mac to do that, I'm not sure how you could effectively double the number of users as you describe.

How to fix the "Two computers using the same IP address" issue on the airport express

I just bought an airport express and got dsl at my apartment, and I haven't been able to set up the wireless connection. My DSL works just fine but whenever I hook up the AX I get an error message saying that there are two computers using the same IP address on the network, but I only have one computer.
I know this is probably a simple fix, but I've never had this issue when I set up the Extreme at my parents house and I haven't been able to find a thread on this.
As of right now I have it set to Factory settings.
Help please!

This modem was designed to connect directly to a computer and you are trying to connect it to a router.
Unfortunately, this is not a simple fix as both the modem and your AirPort Express will need to be configured differently to work together correctly.
Connect the modem directly to your computer.
Open up your browser and type the default IP address for the modem into the address bar. Check your documentation on the modem but it is likely 192.168.1.254
That will bring up the configuration page for the modem.
You may need to enter the modem access code which is on a label on the back or bottom of the device
Look for an Advanced tab, then look for a tab labeled something like PPP Location
Right now, you will see that "PPP is on the modem"
Chance that to "PPP is on the computer or router"
Click to save your new settings and the modem will restart
If you ever need to get the modem back to its original settings, you will need to hold in the reset button on the back of the modem for 5-6 seconds and then enter in the default IP address to be able to access the settings on the modem
Connect the modem to the AirPort Express with an Ethernet cable
Open AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Continue to follow the guided setup to "Create a wireless network"
You may be asked to "switch" networks when you do this. You want to switch
Select the "Connect Using PPPoe" option when it appears
Enter your user name and password with your provider. Leave the Service Name area blank. You want to always stay connected if you see that option
Continue to follow the guided setup and Update to save settings
Pull the power cord from the modem, wait a moment, then restart the modem
Log on to the wireless network that you created during the setup and you should have an Internet connection

Two computers using the same display

Can I use one cinema display with two computers ate the same time. that is, can i have my MBP and a Mac Mini connected and switch between the two?

Try Gefen and have a look in their Apple Section.
I think a 2-1 DVI KVM switch is all you need. But of course the HD Mate Scaler will do everything.

Can two bands use the same name on iTunes?

Hi, I'm in a band that uses the same name as another band listed on iTunes.
Can two bands with the same name be listed on iTunes? We hope to eventually have an album for sale on the site and I'd like to know now if it's going to be a problem.

Of course it will be a problem. You simply can not have two bands with the same name. I can think of MANY bands that had to change their names (either completely or just for certain countries) because the name was already taken. Blink (Blink-182), Bush (Bush X), The Beat (The English Beat), Yazoo (Yaz), and the list goes on and on.
Your band better start brain storming for a new or modified name.

Can two frames use the same SessionInfo object?

Hi,
I have some questions on using InfoBus Frame.
Do parent frame and child frame HAVE TO make use the same
SessionInfo object?
I tried to show Master table and Detailed table in seperate
frame without login twice. I am lucky it works since I happened
to make two frames have the same SessionInfo object which is
sessionInfo1 and conmment out sessionInfo1.publishSession()in
Detailed frame.
But when I tried to pass Master frame SessionInfo object to
Detailed frame there is nothing showing up in the detailed frame
it is just blank frame.
So two frames have to use the same SessionInfo object . Dose it
make sense?
I would really appreciate anyone who can enlighten me on this
subject.
Thanks you so much for the attention.

1.Use wizard and test the frame
2.pass the sessioninfo object in parent to child(put method in
child, call from parent e.g ..getsessionInfo(SessionInfo ss)
3.pass the sessioninfo object to rowsetinfo in child
4.add Database authentication (username/password is sufficient)
methods right before publish method
*publish activates RowSetInfo and connects to db
5.add methods in parent to call child
That should work though depending on how you have set up your
wizard generated java form, might tweak
Thanks

Can 2 computers use the same external lacie hard drive?

hi thanks for any replies.
working on some fcp projects ,we were wondering if its possible for 2 computers to be using the same external lacie terrabyte (lacie d2)
cheers
simon

Not at the same time, if that's what you mean, unless you connect the drive to one computer and share it via file sharing to the other computer. To have a drive connected to more than one computer at the same time, the drive has to have special circuitry to arbitrate the multiple requests; such drives are usually marked as SAN (storage area network) drives.

Can two people use the same computer with two different ipods?

I was just wondering if me and my mother can use the same computer with our ipods?

Glad you asked. Before you get rid of the old one move its iTunes Library to the new one:

"Deauthorize" the old computer too. Go to the iTunes Store menu and select "Deauthorize This Computer..."
I hope you get a Mac this time

Can two computers view the same album?

I have all of my important files, including my photo album, on a network hard drive. If I have two laptops with Adobe Organizer, can they both be directed to the same photo album on my network hard drive?
I understand there will be two separate catalogs on each laptop, but does that matter? Will anything bad happen?
I just want all the computers in my house to be able to look at the photo album, and would like to use Adobe organizer to do it.
Thanks.

Having two separate catalog files will necessitate that some person keep them in synch. Extra work for you. But it should work. Also, neither computer could move or rename the photos or folders, and the shared drive must have the same name on each computer.
Another approach is to put the catalog file on a shared disk, but there are issues here as well, as explained at http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Storing_the_catalog

Can two people use the same Nike plus and Nano?

Or will we each need our own. My husband purchased one and I would also like to use it. We work out at different times and it would be nice not to have to purchase different units, but will it upload both or our workout information or does anyone know if we can pick which workouts to upload. Thanks!!
rachel

All the workout data would get uploaded to the Nike+ website into a single-user's data.
However, if you really don't want to buy two units, the Nike+ website does offer you the ability to "name" your workouts. So, each time you work out, the two of you could give your workouts a name that would allow to differentiate whose is whose. For instance, "His Workout #1" and "Her Workout #1," etc. The combined totals would represent both "His" and "Her" workout totals, but you could at least tell the difference between individual workouts.
Hope this helps!

Can two users use the same ipad for their personal email?

I have one email account assigned to my ipad and I would like to have my girl friend use it while we are traveling. How can she set up her account?

Depends on how much you trust your girlfriend. iOS does not support multiple user accouts at this time. You are not limited to just a single email account. Your girlfriend can add her account to the mix but you must realize she can also get and read email from YOUR account too because she is using your iPad. You cannot set up a different iPad user account that only she can see. Everything is open and available for her to use.

HT201209 Can two iphones use the same itune gift card?

My husband and I are new to iphones, and would like to purchase one itunes gift card and both use it on our iphones. I have an apple id set up, he does not yet have one. Can we share an itunes account if we have different apple id's?

Related question... I have read mixed reviews on whether or not families with multiple apple products should have a single or many apple ids. This site is interesting... http://gigaom.com/apple/how-many-apple-ids-should-your-family-have/comment-page- 2/
Is there a general consensus on this issue? Since my husband has not yet set up an apple id, this is the time we need to decide.
Thanks so much!

Have the project, events and media on one drive which is common to both macs.
You can download FCP X to both macs using the same Apple ID that it was purchased with.
