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
In general, PSE was not designed to be a multi-user or multi-computer application.

  • 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.

  • HT5177 How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.

    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.

  • One again, "can I use CC on two computers at the same time?" - in practice.

    I know this has been asked before and all those threads are locked. Many asked the question, but I haven't found a satisfying answer yet.
    Can I multi task with CC?
    I want to have my laptop next to my desktop. And while I render, export or whatever my newly shot documentary on the laptop I want to work with a music video project on my desktop. Then when the render is finished I render the music video and go back to the laptop and continue on the documentary. Or maybe I just work 5 minutes on the desktop music video, then come up with something brilliant for the project on the laptop and switch. Back and forth. Will that kind of activity result in any kind of limitation, usage-wise?
    So, working on Premiere on my two computers at the same time.. is it possible? Technically? I know the EULA says "only one person". But will it let one person mutli task?
    I need to know this before I buy. sorry for asking this again, please bless me with a clear answer

    Hi Jimmy Crim,
    Yes in case of Creative cloud subscription you are allowed to install and use the cc apps in any two machines.
    Even if you want you care allowed to use these apps together in both the machines.
    Thanks

  • I downloaded two versions of the same album by mistake can I get a refund on one?

    I downloaded two versions of the same album, one staight after the other, I've been charged for both, can I get one removed and a refund?

    Carol,
    William Lloyd said it all, but perhaps Kirby Krieger's User Tip will explain a bit more the different uses of albums and projects:
                       The Well-Trod Path: a Beginner's Guide to how Aperture's major parts inter-relate
    Then I imported into Aperature, created new versions, one for each snapshot, then cropped each snapshot, so each snapshot is seperate in Aperature.
    You want to find each snapshot separately in Aperture? Perhaps you could explain more, how you want to organize your photos. William pointed out albums to group versions of an image. You could also assign keywords to mark special occasions like birthdays, weddings, etc.  You could assign faces to find photos of persons by name. You can use the search field in the browser to search for photos by face, date, keyword, etc.  Aperture is really great for accessing images in many different ways. There must be a way to access the images in your Aperture library just like you want to.
    Then, I tried to organize the ton of photos into projects and it won't let multiple versions of the same original photo be in separate projects.
    That is, how Aperture works. All versions of an image need to be in the same project, because they are sharing the same imported original image file. Aperture tries to save your disk space, by by not creating image files for the edited versions. Versions are just a set of instructions how to produce the rendered image, when you want to edit it or to export it. Unless you are working with the version, it will live in limbo and it will not exist as an image file. So all versions are kept together in the same project with the original image file that is necessary to render them as an image.

  • Cannot connect two computers to the same game server HELP!

    I have a Linksys WRT54G Router.  I have two computers and I want to be able to use them on the same gaming server.  Unfortunately, the game only have one port, so I can only port forward one of my computers.  How can I configure my router to have two external IP addresses to the server so it won't kick one of my computers out.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am in a gaming community and many members have a Linksys at home (but I don't know which kind exactly). Many of us try to connect two computers to the same server (many have a family). It seems it is a common problem that no one can connect two computers to the same game server.
    I have a BEFSR41 V3 Firmware version 1.04.8
    I use fixed IP address and no connectivity problem on Internet.
    I have win XP SP2 on both computer.
    I am using a DSL modem
    I can connect the two computers to two different game servers at same time, but not the same server. Default port for this game is the same for all servers I use. I tried with both port forwarding enabled (in that case one PCs can connect the other not) or not (in the second case, whenever the second PC connects, the first one lose his connection to the server, no mater the order I try to connect my PCs).
    Now the weird thing is that one member in my community just decided to throw away his Linksys router and he bought another brand (which I won't name to remains politically correct). Now, without changing anything in his PCs or his connection type, he can now play with two PC on the same server.
    I am seriously thinking doing the same move. Since more and more game are now using Internet (and servers that controls piracy, $$) and family want to play together, not being able to connect two PCs on the same game server makes Linksys in bad situation from marketing point of view.
    For example, in my gaming communtity, we now all know that Linksys can't handle two PC on same server, but other brand can...
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • 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.

  • Two computers share the same wi-fi Modem . When computer A reads a message it is marked as read on both PC's, not allowing computer B to see what must be read.

    Two computers share the same WI-fi Modem . When computer A reads a message it is marked as read on both PC's, not allowing computer B to see what must still be read. Email is Thunderbird.
    Please help, Thank you for this online support option

    Imap wasn't designed for this kind of multi user situation. It assumes that you the account owner will be using it to manage one account via multiple devices. So once you have read a message it has been read, regardless of which device you were using at the time.
    You appear to be describing a situation where you want more than one user to read each message, without anyone knowing if anyone else has read it or even dealt with it. Frankly, I can't imagine a set of circumstances where this workflow would make sense or be useful.
    You can do various things such as manually setting messages as unread, or moving them from one folder to another to indicate that they have been processed, but much of this relies on users being thorough and conscientious.
    You may need to be running your own server to do this sort of email message managing, if you really need to fork a message so it gets to multiple recipients. Managing which users see a particular message is a job for a server, not the end-user's email client.

  • 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.

  • PLEASE HELP. Two computers with the same External IP Address

    I have two computers with the same IP address which is causing problems. I tried to ipconfig/release ipconfig/renew but I get the error "No operation can be performed on a Local Area Connection* 11 while it has its media disconnected.
    I tried resetting router/modem, made sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" are all enabled. DHCP is enabled.
    Two of the computers have the same one and the other IP is completely different (not 1 or 2 off). When I open the router settings and click DHCP Reservation it shows the IPs 1 number off and all different like you said. i.e ***.***.*.106, ***.***.*.107,
    ***.***.*.108. But with the proxy service I'm using, when trying to allow each computer to use them it shows different IP addresses than what is shown in the DHCP Reservation.
    If I clone my MAC address the identical IP of the two computers changes but they'll still share the same IP. The third doesn't change.
    I tried ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew - ipconfig /flushdns nothing yet. Not sure about your #2 and #3. And I just updated my firmware.
    Anyone with expertise? Thanks.

    Cyber_Defend_Team and ZigZag3143x I powered down all three computers and turned off/reset the modem and router.
    I restarted them one by one and after, the two computers with the conflicting IP address changed their IPs but their IPs are still conflicting.  The third computers IP stayed the same.
    What else can we do?

  • Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  Yes, there is more to the story.

    I have an iMac, and iPhone.  I've had my Apple ID for a few years. 
    My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password.  I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
    So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID.  When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
    The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
    If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
    You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
    You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.
