Cannot connect to more than one computer at a time

I have a G4 running on 10.2.8 and up until a few weeks ago worked fine. Now when I try to connect to other computers on our network (imac G5s) it will only connect to one at a time. At a minium I need to connect to 2 at a time from the G4. If someone could give me some help as to doing that...or resetting something that would be great.

double check on the mac addresses that you have saved so that your wireless computers can connect properly to your netwok, or you could just disable the mac filtering so that all of your computers can easily connect, just secure your wireless network

WRT54GX4 Router Will Not Connect to More Than One Computer at a Time Wireless

I have a WRT54GX4 and cannot connect wirelessly with more than one laptop at a time. Each laptop I have will connect if I disconnect the other one. I have upgraded to 1.00.20 firmware and tried to find a setting for the router to address the problem without success.

Connect more than one computer to a time capsule volume?

Hello. I am considering buying an old time capsule (500G, 2nd generation) as a little in-house server to store data that need to be accessible for more than one work station. Is it possible to connect more than one work station to one time capsule?
Thanks

While it is possible to connect more than one computer to the Time Capsule......I would not recommend that you buy the Time Capsule that you are looking at.....unless you know that the owner has replaced the hard drive and power supply.
Most of these models never made it much past a few years of operation, so if this is an "original", you have a hint of what will happen not long after you purchase the product.

Switched from DSL to cable modem. My Airport light won't turn green. Keeps blinking orange. No wireless now and can't connect to more than one computer! ?????

Hmmmm.
If you reset the AirPort Extreme by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds and then releasing, the AirPort should be back in default settings which would allow mutliple computers to connect to the LAN ports on the AirPort.
Power off the cable modem for now and leave it off at least 15 minutes.
With the AirPort Extreme still powered on, hold in the rest button on the back for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking abmer light.
Then, power off the AirPort Extreme.
Check to make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
After the modem has been powered off for at least 15 minutes, power it up and let it run for 5 minutes by itself.
Now, power up the AirPort Exteme and let it run for 2-3 minutes
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Express
Click on the AirPort Exteme, then click Continue to follow the guided setup tp configure the AirPort Extreme. You can use the same wireless network name, password, etc that you used before, or set up a new name and password, etc.

File open on more than one computer at a time

I maintain a network of four Macs (Cube, G4 Tower, Mini, and G5 Tower) all running OS 10.4.11. Recently two people working on the network discovered that they both had a certain file open at the same time. In order to determine the extent of the problem, on each computer I created and kept open a TextEdit file. I then attempted to open each TextEdit file from the three computers on which the file was not stored. To my dismay I received no error or warning message of any sort. I was able to open all four files on all four computers at the same time!
Each of the computers has a single user, and each computer is logged into the other computers as the user on that computer (i.e., each guest is logged in as the host). I wonder if that might be the source of the trouble.
I never noticed any file being open on more than one computer at a time when all the computers were running 10.3.9, only after I upgraded to 10.4.
Any ideas?

This is absolutely standard behavior and I don't expect this to change any time soon.
Let me try to explain based on a model of a file stored on Server1 and being accessed by Client1 and Client2:
Here's what's happening:
Client1 connects to the server and opens the file for reading.
Client1 reads the file and closes it
Client2 connects to the server and opens the file for reading.
Client2 reads the file and closes it
Since Client1 closed the file there's nothing to indicate to Client2 that the document is in use anywhere else because, in fact, it isn't.
There's nothing on the server that knows whether Client1 opened the file to look at it, to copy it, to back it up to some other media or to actually edit it. It is only that last step that should prevent another client from opening the file.
If you think about it, that makes perfect sense. If you copy the file over the network to Client1 you do not want the server to think that Client1 has an exclusive hold on that file and to prevent Client2 from opening it.
The only time the file is in use is a) when the file is being read, and b) when the file is being saved. When it's just being viewed the client doesn't have an active hold on the file.
The actual fix here is for the application to set a flag that the file is in use and for the server to honor that flag. It's supported by the networking protocols but it's rarely implemented in applications except those that expect a multi-user setup.

Connecting to more than one computer?

Anyone know if you can connect the iPod touch to more than one computer? I'm aware that you cannot use the Touch as a "hard drive", which is ridiculous, but I'll live. As far as connecting it to another computer, anyone know if it stays from mac to mac if it will work? I tried today (and it could be because there was no battery life) but it only was able to charge, no icon and didn't show up in itunes.
Thanks.

Ah, you need to have the latest version of iTunes...that's definitely something they should tell you!

How can I connect to more than one computer from external ip

Hi
I have been using remote desktop for some time and have a port forward set so I can connect to our mail server from anywhere else externally from my macbook pro, but how can I connect to other macs in the office when there only seems to be the two ports available for use 5900 and 3283. I can only port forward to one computer? How can I connect to multiple computers when not within the same network? are there other ports available?
Cheers
Tony

If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install third-party VNC software on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while other VNC systems can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=RemoteDesktop/3.0/en/ARDC715.html to connect.
The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
Hope this helps.

FINAL CUT WON'T ON ON MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER ON A NETWORK

I have a Mac Pro, a MacBook Pro, and a Powermac G5 all connected via airport. I am using all three computers to do video editing using Final Cut Studio, but if I try to open Final Cut on more than one computer at a time, I get an error message syaing that there is already an application running on this network with the same serial number. If I disconnect the computer already running Final Cut from the network, then the other computer will open it, but I need them all connected because I am sharing different photo/music/media files between all three computers. I Paid for Final Cut Studio, and I don't see why I can't use it on more than one computer at a time. Is there a way around this without disconnecting them from the network?

I Paid for Final Cut Studio, and I don't see why I can't use it on more than one computer at a time.
Actually you licensed Final Cut Studio and agreed to the license agreement when you installed those programs.
As it states:

This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop

Can I install photoshop cs5 on more than one computer, if "owned" by a different user?

I want to install my recently purchased photoshop cs5 on my macbook, as well as my imac. The only thing I worry about is that the macbook is in my name and the imac is technically in my dad's name, even though he only uses it to surf the web. The only reason he even bought the imac as opposed to anything else is so that I'd have a great place to edit photos. I really need it to be on both, will this work? Anyone have experience with this?

This is what I was able to dig out
May I use the software on more than one computer at a time?
The activation process supports installation on two machines. The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously. While the activation process supports installing and activating Adobe software on two machines, the usage of the product on the second computer is restricted to the user who licensed the software. Allowing others to use a second copy of the software violates the product license agreement.

Can my iPhone 4 be synced to more than one computer?

I don't have access to the original computer that my iPhone 4 was synced too. I have a new iPhone 4s due to a contract upgrade, and want to transfer the information from my old phone to my new. However, when my boyfriend has tried to synch it with his computer, by choosing the backing up option in iTunes nothing actually happens. I really don't want to lose the information on my old phone. What can I do please?

The short answer is no. You can't sync to more than one computer at a time.
The longer answer is contained in one of the many many threads about this exact same subject that are already posted in these forums.

Keyboard error tone is beeping when observing more than one computer 3.7

Just installed 3.7 on Mavericks and when I observe more than one computer at a time I get beeping like I am sitting on the keyboard. Also I can't control some computers in my list and others I can. All the clients are upgraded to 3.7. Any Ideas?
