Can two users on two separate computers share their screens?

I often conduct training sessions and demos in a conference room with a large monitor mounted on the wall. I often have remote participants, so I use Lync or Live Meeting, along with a dial-in number for the audio.
Lately I've been wanting to share not just my screen, but also another participant's screen, so I can demonstrate what's happening at both my end and at the participant's end.
This is not the same thing as sharing two monitors connected to the same computer. This is sharing two separate monitors connected to two different computers, both of them using Lync.
Is this possible? If so, how?

Lync will use the MCU fro your conference. You will be able to show both screens but not at the same time.
You can only show a screen from one presenter at the same time and you have to switch to the other presenter.

One Mac, two users and two Time Machine drives / backups

I have a MacBook Pro with two user accounts, home and office.
I want my differnet user accounts to have separate Time Machine backups. The problem is that if I go and make changes in the Time Machine settings, they affect both users. I don´t want to manually tell Time Machine what it should back up at home and what at work. Is somebody following? =)
@ work I want the Mac (logged in as the work user) to backup to my office TM drive
@ home I want the Mac (logged in as the home user) to backup to my home TM drive

I have exactly the same situation - my employer and I have made a deal where I get paid for using my private laptop at work. Both me and my employer want my work to be backed up at all times, but the company does not want to pay for an extremely much larger backup disk than necessary for my work, and I don't want my private data to be on the company backup disk.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Perhaps there is some third party software with this functionality?

Can't connect to mac mini leopard shares or screen share

i'm having problem connecting to a mac mini that is on my network (running leopard 10.5.8) and is wired to the network via an AEBS.
previously when my MBP was also running 10.5.8 i had no problems using screen sharing and connecting to 2 shares on it using "afp://10.x.x.x/sharename", or browsing to them via finder.
i did a clean install of SL on the MBP and now even though the mac mini shows up in finder, when i select it it just sits there trying to connect and eventually the beach ball appears and fails saying it can't connect to it.
when i try to connect to the shares using command-K, again it won't connect to the shares.
if i try to connect to them using the samba share that is also configured on the mac min then is does connect to them.
i can ping the mac mini using network utility.
any ideas what the problem is? everything worked fine before i wiped and installed SL.

HI,
Make sure screen sharing is turned on and you have set up sharing permissions on the computer whose screen you want to share.
To set up screen sharing:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users: Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users: Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.
Click Add + at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Accounts preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list and click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen: Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password: Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.
It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

Adobe Connect will not allow presenter to share their screen

Hello,,
I need your help.
I had to cancel a virtual Photoshop users group meeting last week because Adobe Connect had some problems with allowing our presenter to share his screen. By the way he was using a Mac OS.
We could hear him but Connect crashed every time he tried to share his screen. We tried on every browser to include Safari. Opera, Firefox and Chrome. His bandwidth was impeccable for a home user at 63 megs/sec .
Any suggestions and help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to assist on this.

Hi Nikhil Sharma,
We had another Connect meeting today and I need some insight from you on Adobe Connect. For the last 3 meetings that I conducted using Adobe Connect my presenters audio just drops away in the middle of the guest’s presentation. This issue has been consistent for all of my Thursday evening meetings. By the way, my presenter’s bandwidth surpasses the expected speed that Adobe Connect requires.
I have used Adobe Connect quite a bit and love it but my last 3 User group meetings were frustrating due to the presenters audio just dying . Once again, all had more than acceptable bandwidth. Most were 30 gbits on up. One person was 60 and higher and the same thing happened to them.
During the meetings I have myself and one other person as hosts and our audio is never affected. It’s only the presenter who is affected.
Are the User group managers being limited to a certain bandwidth? I have had this consistent issue for the past 3 months.
What do you think is most likely going on?
I hope that you an assist with this. My cell is 901 494-0553.
Thanks for your help.

One computer, two user accounts, two libraries - how to share??

My husband and I each have an account on our Dell computer. We each have an iTunes library and would like to have the two libraries shared with each other. We've put them in the shared documents, shared music folder. We also set our preferences in each of our iTunes accounts the location of the library. My library updated to the shared account, but without any of the music purchased from his account. His library shows no music at all - it won't update to the shared file. When we open the shared music folder - all the music is there. It just doesn't come through to iTunes. Help!!!

Hi Lou18,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
If you have used iChat to enter two .mac account screen names then you have to view it as one iChat. Whichever settings one of you sets then that will be the settings the other sees.
However if you mean you have set up two Mac User Accounts on the Mac you will need to check that she is actually opening her Mac user account and has not added her .mac details to your iChat.
There is a possibility that you are talking about Family Accounts or a email Alias for one .mac account in which case one of you will need to use a different screen name for iChat.
Now this new Name can be AIM or a trial .mac.com name as these will work after the 60 days is up. It is the Linked .mac accounts that do not work for iChat.

Can two users of the same iMac have their own "space" and how is this set up?

My wife and I will share the same new iMac. Can we each have our own "space" complete with personal background preferences, tools, etc.? How would I set this up?

As PrDm indicated, you can indeed each have your own user account in Mac OS X. But you do not have to log out for the other person to use their own account in Mac OS X. You can use Fast User Switching:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8672.html
That makes it a lot easier to share a single computer.
Regards.

I have one Mac, two users. I wish to share a iBook with my wife, the other user. I move a copy of the book folder to "public" folder, and in her account "added to library". Does not show even though cue claims it is in her library. No book.

I find sharing books within my one computer near impossible - not easy as music is. It used to be easier, but now with iBooks and some other changes this has become difficult. Also - I can use the search feature to find the "books" folder, and use "Get Info" to find the supposed address, and then not find that folder location at all using a manual method stepping through Finder. So a second question is: where is this file hiding? It is not under User/Library/Containers.... as claimed by "Get Info". It seems that if I buy a book, the family can use it to put on their iPad.

Part of me understands the need to have purchases protected. I hope this does not get more and more complicated for "within family use". It is nice to buy music and share it with my wife, as we used to do with books prior to the iBooks "upgrade" - which mostly consisted of making it impossible to share books. Thanks though for your response; I was hoping for some luck and that maybe I had missed some simple step. To Apple: lighten up.
Best regards and thanks again for taking the time -

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.

Two Users/Accounts: Want separate views of purchases. Possible?

Hi!
Grateful for advice on setting up iTunes/Store so that when I purchase music my tracks appear in one list, and when my wife signs in on her account she can see her own songs.
We have just set up an account for my wife, but when she signs in the 'purchased' list shows the items I bought through my account. So, it looks as though our separate purchases will all pile in together and appear in the same list as time goes on. We really need to keep things separate for the sake of sanity.
Can this be done?
Help save our marriage!
Cheers

The best way (and perhaps the only way) would be to have separate accounts in Windows and each of you log into Windows using your own account. That would keep your iTunes libraries completely separate.

Two users, one library - how to share Mobile Me Galleries...how?

I have managed to get 2 users (both as admin) sharing my Aperture Library, which is great. But, given that we both have different MM accounts, the MM Galleries created by one user dont appear in the other users' Aperture. Any ideas on how to get not just Aperture libraries shared between 2 users, but the MM galleries as well?

I think the following will work, but it's a bit of a kludge:
1)User "Able": prior to publishing the MM Gallery, make an album with an appropriate name (example: "Portfolio1")and gather all of the images into the album, them publish as a MM Gallery. Quit Aperture.
) User "Baker": Open Aperture, select album Portfolio1 and publish as a MM Gallery.

10.4.11 Install with two users working but one with a blue screen

On installation of 10.4.11 two of the users are working just fine but one give only a blue screen. My next thought is to try going back to 10.4 and doing an archive and install. Any other thoughts? Thanks.

If either good user account is an admin user, log into it, delete the bad user account, saving user data (that creates a /Users/Disabled Users/disk image), recreate the account, using the same username/password account, log into it, mount the disk image, and merge the data.

Can 2 users on a macbook pro share an iPhoto library?

We have 2 users on the one laptop and would like to be able to share the iphoto library between us. Is it possible?

Generally having the shared library on an external drive with ignore ownership ignored is considered the best way - option 1

Two Users? Two Libraries, two everything?

Ok, recently I noticed I have a MAC and the main say library is computer name, in this case Music...
So, its MUSIC>Library>preferences, etc and that's where everything goes for the most part....
On the other hand there is also a generic LIBRARY, Pro Apps stuff and was wondering how I can just have the ONE account, not more than one.
Does this make sense?
Its as if some of the folders are duplicates.
Thanks!

musiccomposer,
Do not attempt to rearrange merge or combine the folders/libraries between your Macintosh Hard Drive or your User account.
The basic folders in a User Account will be:
Pictures
Library
Movies
Documents
Music
Desktop
Sites
Public
The basic folders in the Macintosh HD will be:
Applications
Users
System
Applications (Mac OS 9)
Documents
System Folder
Library

Two users with two libraries

I have 2 libraries with 2 users ( didn't notice that one of my CDs was on other account until now ). So I'm asking if there is a possibility to move all songs from my first account to my second, without authorizing new computer?
Thx.

Heres what you will do in a nutshell
Moms Account
We will start here since she is the one with mostly all the music.
1) Open iTunes and selct the main library. Look at the bottom of itunes and take note of the size of the whole library. Just for example lets say its 10GB.
2) Open "My COmputer" and highlight the C drive (Or whatever drive windows is on) and make sure theres 10GB of freespace or more.
3) Go back to iTUnes. goto edit>preferences>advanced>general sub tab and make sure both "Keep files organized" and "Copy files to the itunes music folder" are UNCHECK.
4) goto Advanced>consolidate library. this will COPY the songs to the "iTUnes Music" folder. Once done.....
5) Open "my Music" and delete all songs here. make sure you DO NOT delete the itunes folder. You will do this to save disk space and get rid of copies.
6) Goto edit>pref>advanced>general beside the location of the "iTUnes Music" folder you will see 2 buttons, reset and change. hit the "Chage" button and move the location of the iTUnes music folder here
C drive\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents
Now you have created a centralized location for music. We will now link the other 2 accounts to this central location
Dads account
Since he has no music you just repeat step 3 first then step 6 on his account.
Sons account
Being he does have music you need to first repeat step 3 then consolidate his library, gointo "My Music" or wherever he had music files, delte the copys to save space THEN repeat step 6 on his account.
