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.

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.

How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

Only for the very brave......
Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
Pull the hard drive
Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
For the rest of us.....
The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the New Image tab
Navigate to the Time Capsule
Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve

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.

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

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.

Why can't I connect more than one computer to my wifi?

It will allow me to connect one at a time, but I have to take one off in order to connect the other.

When the AirPort Express is in Bridge Mode, it simply passes through the IP address information from the Westell router to connected devices.
The Westell is in charge of assigning IP addresses to every device on the network, but does not appear to be doing this correctly....or it needs some changes to its settings.
If you can find the model number of the Westell device, we'lll try to find a manual online.
Otherwise, you might want to check with AT&T to ask about this. They will probably try to blame it on the AirPort....but in Bridge Mode....it is not doing anything other than passing through the info that it gets from the Westell.
I don't like to recommend setting up a network in the wrong way, but you could try changing a setting on the Express....that will result in what is known as a Double NAT error. This can cause conflicts as well, and will slow down the network a bit as well.
Post back if you want to try this.

Airport extreme cannot connect more than one computer

Hi,
I just got a new cable internet connection but have major problems with my airport extreme. I can be online via airport but I can not connect any other devices wirelessly (including other laptops).
The connection works only when 'distribute a range of IP addresses' is selected in airport utility. Choosing 'share a public IP address' results in no internet access whatsoever. I tried soft- and hardresetting the base station with no luck.
Any ideas?

It sounds like your cable modem needs to be reset.
Most cable modems require that you power them off/on whenever you switch the Ethernet connection from one device to another. When the cable modem is powered on, it finds the new device and talks to it.
Some cable modems have a button on the back to do the reset. Some cable modems have an internal battery which must be removed to do the reset. Some cable modems must be off overnight (or at least several hours) so that equipment back at the ISP can be reset.
"Share a public IP address" is the setting that you want to use.

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:

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.
