Facetime on multiple computers on LAN with NAT?

This seems that it would be a common question, but I haven't found it by searching the forum.  Please forgive if it was staring me in the face.  Here's the question:
I have several Macs, all running Lion, on a LAN routed by a NAT (Dlink DIR-655).  I wonder if I can run Facetime on more than one of those Macs.  Apple publishes a list of ports that need to be forwarded, but of course port forwarding only goes to one IP address in the LAN.  Apple Remote Desktop will let you specify different ports to use for different computers, but there's no such preference for Facetime.
Is Facetime actually clever enough to work around this (the few Apple support documents indicate that it isn't) or am I stuck?
Thanks for any help.

No ports need to be forwarded. The gateway merely needs to allow outgoing connections to certain ports. Unless you've blocked outgoing traffic, you don't have to do anything.

  • How can I sync Bridge between multiple computers at work with keywords/collections/search?

    We've been trying to find a digital asset management platform at work for a while now and I recently came across Bridge (we have the Creative Cloud). It's perfect! Except we're all on a bunch of different computers and would need to be able to search the same keywords/collections all from the same server (the photos are in many different folders though). Is there a way to be able to sync all keywords etc on multiple computers? Or if someone opens Bridge and can search right away without having to make all the keywords persistent by finding each photo and clicking on it? We're all on the same Creative Cloud team.

    I actually did already create a book with all the files in it, but I couldn't figure out how that was helpful. The hyperlink panel doesn't seem to have any "book" options (unless I'm looking in the wrong place?) and just linking to the different files (after creating the book) didn't have any different results than linking to the files before I created the book.
    I thought maybe linking to the different files in the book would work if I could export the whole book to pdf at once (which would be super-helpful in and of itself), but that doesn't seem to be an option either.
    I guess what I'm asking is for you to elaborate on what to do after creating the book.
    Thanks!

  • Separate Apple accounts for Facetime on multiple computers?

    I have an iMac, and an Air (as well as as two iPads).  Do I need to have separate Apple accounts to run Facetime on each of these machines?  I have run into some confusing logins with them and am starting to wonder.  I have yet to successfully use Facetime.

    No ports need to be forwarded. The gateway merely needs to allow outgoing connections to certain ports. Unless you've blocked outgoing traffic, you don't have to do anything.

  • Can I Facetime to multiple computers simultaneously?

    My wife has three siblings: a sister in Texas, and another sister and a brother in Spain.
    Can all four talk simultaneously through Facetime? (IPads)

    Hi williampascoejr,
    You must have OS X Yosemite on your Mac and iOS 8 on the iPads/iPhones.
    After a conventional FaceTime Audio call is made between two parties, additional users can be added to a call in progress.
    Please note that Face Time Video calls are not yet possible. I also did not test the describe workflow yet by myself.
    On iOS 8 the command to add a user is called "add call" and is marked with a plus(+) in the lower left corner of your facetime overview.
    I can not tell you how the command on the Mac will look like.
    I hope this answers helped you

  • ARD won't save multiple computers with same IP and different port!

    I'm trying to access multiple computers over the internet behind a firewall with port forwarding.
    I can access each computer, but ARD won't save the IP address and port (in IP Address column of ARD 3.1) of multiple computers with the same IP address. It will only save ONE. I've tried 'add by address', adding a list for each computer or adding a list for all those computers. Nothing has worked. ARD will actually change the first computer's IP address to 0.0.0.0
    Example: Static IP address
    Computer 1 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:51 (public port 51 is forwarded to port 5900 on computer 1)
    Computer 2 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:52 (public port 52 is forwarded to port 5900 on computer 2)
    Computer 3 xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:53 (public port 53 is forwarded to port 5900 on computer 3)
    Has Apple really overlooked this or am I missing something? Isn't this how most people would remotely manage multiple Macs offsite?
    Thanks

    ARD cannot do this as you're asking. 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 VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD
    client cannot listen on any port other than 5900
    while VNC servers 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:
    Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number
    for a VNC client
    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.
    That definitely helps. I have ARD installed on my MBP and on a workstation on the LAN. I have used ARD from the MBP to control ARD on a workstation on the local network, but it can get a little tricky. I already have VNC setup on all the workstations. I used to use COTVNC prior to purchasing ARD 3.1.
    I guess what I'm really asking is...
    How do I add a list of workstations and save the settings (same IP address for each workstation with different ports?) to control/VNC via ARD?
    I simply want a list that shows each workstation, so I can control/VNC them using ARD offsite.
    Name: Computer 1 IP Address: 123.123.123.123:5901
    Name: Computer 2 IP Address: 123.123.123.123:5902
    Name: Computer 3 IP Address: 123.123.123.123:5903
    I don't want to have to manually type in the IP address into ARD every time.
    Will ARD simply not add another computer to the list if it has the same IP address but different port number as a computer already on the list? I haven't been able to find a way to make ARD do this.

  • Chicken of the VNC and conneting to multiple computers on a single LAN

    I've successfully got Chicken of the VNC operating so that I can reach my iMac (running Leopard) from outside my LAN using my iBooks (running Tiger). And I can also connect to all computers inside my LAN by using Bonjour in chicken of the VNC.
    What I cannot figure out is how to setup Chicken of the VNC and port forwarding to access my other three computers from outside of my LAN.
    I suppose it is simply configuring the port forwarding correctly and apparently I'm not doing that.
    I've got each Mac configured with a fixed IP as follows...
    iMac is at 192.168.0.100
    iBook is at 192.168.0.102
    iBook2 is at 192.168.0.103
    Acer is at 192.168.0.120
    Right now the port forwarding on my Linksys WRT54G looks like this...
    VNC1 5500 to 5500 Both 192.168.0.100 enable
    VNC2 5800 to 5800 Both 192.168.0.100 enable
    VNC3 5900 to 5900 Both 192.168.0.100 enable
    VNC-iBook 5502 to 5502 Both 192.168.0.102 enable
    VNC-iBook2 5503 to 5503 Both 192.168.0.103 enable
    VNC-Acer 5504 to 5504 Both 192.168.0.120 enable
    Enabling Bonjour in Chicken of the VNC lets me connect to all computers on my LAN. And I can connect to my iMac outside of my LAN using the WAN-IP:5900
    But I cannot connect to any of the others except the iMac (at internal IP address 192.168.0.100 or outside IP of xx.xx.xxx.xx:5900) outside of my LAN.
    Any quick tips?

    If you have all of your Macs inside the LAN operating okay with remote access by CotVNC, then 3/4 of the battle is done. But first thing I would do is tunnel your VNC through an encrypted ssh tunnel, unless you don't mind the possibility of a sniffer outside your home network being able to intercept every one of your vnc packets in plain text and monitor your every vnc move.
    The easy way to do it would be to connect via ssh to one of the computers inside the LAN with a bunch of ports tunneled through the encrypted ssh connection. I've got several posts that talk about tunneling vnc through ssh. Do a search on posts by me (j.v.) since last year with search terms "vnc ssh 5901". Port forward port 22 through your home router to, for example, your imac, and turn on remote login (ssh login) on your imac. You do not need 5900 port forwarded through the router, only port 22.
    To access multiple computers, modify your ssh login command, that you type in Terminal on the computer outside your LAN, to add additional "-L" port forward switches, for example, "ssh -L 15900:127.0.0.1:5900 -L 15901:192.168.0.102:5900 -L 15902:192.168.0.103:5900 -L 15903:192.168.0.120:5900 [email protected] Then in CotVNC, you connect to 127.0.0.1:15900, 127.0.0.1:15901, 127.0.0.1:15902, or 127.0.0.1:15903, in order to connect to imac, ibook, ibook2, or acer. All the VNC traffic is encrypted and tunneled inside the ssh connection. All traffic to all computers is delivered to the imac's localhost interface, and depending on which port you specified in CotVNC, it goes to the computer specified in the "-L" switches for that port.

  • Using Messages with Multiple Users and Multiple Computers

    I have two users who share two different computers, switching between them during the day.
    I'd like to use messages on them for us to send text messages in the office, however, it asks them on logging in (most, but not everytime) to re-enter their apple id password.  It seems that using icloud for messages among multiple computers like this isn't good.  its like it wants each computers to be linked with a particular user, and doesn't like it that the users are moving around from computer to computer
    Options to avoid this nuisance?
    1.  Would bonjour messaging work, and then just remove the icloud account from messages?
    2.  How about setting up the message server on my ML Server, would that avoid this problem?

    I'd say probably make sure that in the advanced tab under edit>preferences you should make sure they both point to the same file.
    My turn now, how to i post a thread, there's no button.

  • How to sync with multiple computers?

    I have my iTunes library on my MacBook and all of my Apple devices synced accordingly. My family also has an iMac, and I would like other family members to be able to sync from the iMac. I know I can use Home Sharing to allow the iMac to view/play the music when my Macbook is active on the network. I also know I can purchase iTunes Match so I can access the music when my MacBook is offline and edit the playlists. Yet, I would love to be able to set up the iMac so the iDevices could actually by synced with that computer as opposed to mine. How can I go about this?

    Yes, you can sync your device with multiple computers.  Only that one is set to AUTO SYNC whilst the rest is set to "MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC".
    Refer to this article:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
    However, issues may occur leading to data corruption or data loss if you regularly sync Contacts, Calendars, Notes, or bookmarks between multiple computers using iTunes and your iOS device. Syncing once to move your data to a new computer should not cause these issues.

  • Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?

    Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?
    note: one library universally shared, not Home Sharing (one library each, shared to each.)
    I want to share one library stores on my server and access it through various local computers. When I buy a song from a computer (non-server), I want it to be added to the library (stored on server). I want it to auto copy to my server, for organization. I want to be able to sync my phone from any computer.
    Most of this I can do, if i figure out how to use one universal library for all my computers.
    Any ideas how I can do this?

    eyeinit,
    You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
    However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:

    Chris here again, from the iTunes Support team. I want to thank you for your quick response.
    First off any computer this applies too needs to have the Mac App store on it, to share the app that you purchased  you will need to log into the account that you first purchased Mac OS X Lion on in the first place to and then redownload the app onto the new computer and install it. This applies  to any app that you wish to share on another computer.
    Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for personal use. You may be asked for your Apple ID and password the first time you use an app. You won't have to provide them again unless you use the app on a different computer or there is an update.
    This does not apply to purchasing other apps as you can have multiple account on one compute, once again, the only exception would be if there was an update, then you will be require to provided the username and password of the account that the app in this case Mac OS X Lion was purchased on.
    I hope that I have been able to clarify things for you.  If you have any further questions, please let me know and I would be more than happy to address them for you.

    So wait. To download other apps I wouldn't have to be logged into the computer using the initial os lion accounts I'd? If I get lion and i log into the other computer and select install from the purchase history, after authorizing of course, I won't have to log into my account, the one initially used to buy and install lion, to buy and install other apps onto the other computer?

    Moving forward,  I understand that you would like to get some answers about installing OS X - Lion onto another computer. I can definitely appreciate how eager you are to get some answers to your questions. I would be happy to assist you today in this matter.
    I do first need to mention that I was unable to open the link that you have provided  and thus unable to address any concerns related to that discussion.
    You can redownload any apps including Lion that  you have purchased from the Mac App Store without incurring additional charges.
    To learn how to redownload apps on the Mac App Store, please refer to the steps in this article:
    Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4482
    If you continue to have difficulty downloading any applications, please reply to let me know or consult this article:
    Troubleshooting the Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3624
    So in summary, yes after you have initially downloaded it you can then goto another computer that you have access to and redownload it and install it there. That computer will have to be apart of your authorized computers which again is up to 5 authorized machines at one time per account. This is shared with iTunes so five maximum for both, as far as what I believe the store rep meant fur OS updates you would need to log into the account the OS was purchased to get upgrades.
    Other than taking up one of the authorized computers this should have no other affect on your purchasing ability. If you have any issues with this or more questions, please let me know and I would be more than happy to address them for you.

    INITIAL EMAIL SENT: by me to apple representative
    : So I had questions about os lion. Here is what an apple store representative told me.
    https://storechat.apple.com/hc/6964264/?cmd=file&file=chatFrame&site=6964264&SV! chat-button-name=chat-us-consumer-sales-english-1&SV!chat-button-room=chat-us-co nsumer-sales-english-1&referrer=%28button%20dynamic-button:chat-us-consumer-sale s-english-1%28Help%20-%20Apple%20Store%20%28U.S.%29%29%29%20http%3A//store.apple .com/us/help%3Fmco%3DNzc1MjMwOQ&sessionkey=H4163946581421609647-4030035787087660 883K3438618
    (note) for some reason this link doesn't work...
    sorry for the gigantic link....
    Basically, to download on multiple macs without buying 3 times I would :
    1. buy and install on my mac
    2. log into my account (the one i bought lion on)
    3. authorize my account for use on my parent(s)' computer(s) (do i need to do this? didn't get this question answered)
    4. either check purchase history for os lion or click buy now while logged into the account I initially bought it with and install on that computer
    From what i've gathered from the store representative I've found that I need to use the account I got lion under for any further purchases on that computer. Is this true? If so does it affect iTunes at all (buying music and such)?
    Are these steps valid and legal? There has been talk about doing it like this
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15676536#15676536
    here is a discussion on the matter.
    END OF EMAIL SECTION
    HERE ARE THE SUMMERIZED STEPS:
    1. go ahead and buy/download os lion on the account of your choice (make sure you know that this account needs to be used whenever you want to download os lion on multiple computers)
    2. before going on, perhaps backing up the installer file upon completion of download would be good. This applies to people who have spotty internet as the installer file apparently disappears (self destructs) after installation but you can always re-download for free using the account initially used to install/buy/download.
    3. Go to the computer you wish to install os lion on. Open up itunes then log into itunes using the same account that you used to purchase lion on. then go to the store tab at the top left of the screen (there should be an apple symbol, then iTunes in bold then there should be a tab further along the right side called store. and, under that, go to authorize this computer. If you do this and it says it's already authorized then thats good.
    4. Open up the mac app store. Log into the account used to initially purchase lion. Go to purchase history and click install.
    Now here is the catch. According to an email sent by an apple representative for the mac app store, there are limiations:
    "This is what i had said before receiving the email: what i mean is that the computers in question belong to family members and not to me. I would not use them."
    In this matter, I will quote you the terms and conditions of the mac app store that the Mac OS X Lion is bound by,  Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for personal use. You may be asked for your Apple ID and password the first time you use an app. You won't have to provide them again unless you use the app on a different computer.
    Since you are indicate that there will be no use or control and then no it would be a violation of the terms and condition, if there was some personal use well then it would meet the conditions  If you have any further questions, please let me know and I would be more than happy to address them for you. Thank you very much for being part of the iTunes Store family, Dylan, and I hope you have a great day.
    This means that if you are not using this method for personal use on your OWN computer it is a violation of terms of service. For example: there is a feature in OS lion that allows you to drag and drop files from one computer with lion to another computer with lion. If you were to do that so you could store files on another family members computer (and then proceed to access them now and then) it is ok.

    yes you would have to log onto her computer using your own apple id if you want it to update (assuming your id was the one downloading lion) and no for the second question. The itunes Representative said it shouldn't have any impact on your purchasing ability.....
    By the way, i don't think you're allowed to install lion on your friend's computer. Unless you are using it for yourself. As the rep said "if there was some personal use well then it would meet the conditions." so if you were to transfer, say, pictures for storage on your friend's computer then i think it'd be fine.

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • How to use iPhone with multiple computers on iTunes 11?

    Both of my computers are Windows 7. I try to manage my music and videos on both iTunes. I used to be easy, like you just check the "Manually manage music and videos" square, and everything is fine... But after I update to iTunes 11, it just doesn't work. There is no resulting dialog box coming up where I can click "OK" after I checked square, and no matter I click "apply" below or "done" above, the iTunes asks to erase and sync with the iPhone. After it syncs, the "Manually manage music and videos" is checked. But if I move to another computer another iTunes, then it says I'm already syncing with one iTunes, and it needs to erase and sync with my iPhone again... and of course, the "Manually manage music and videos" is unchecked on this iTunes... If I try to check that on this one.. it's the same story happened before... Basically, there is just no way I can use one iPhone on two iTunes 11, is it?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

  • ITunes on multiple computers with shared external library?

    Hey guys. I thought I might pick everyone's brain here. I just purchased a MacBook Air with just 128GB SSD but that should be fine as far as local storage. I have an iTunes library that is over 350GB and it grows everyday so even the 256GB storage wouldn't have been enough for me. I have multiple computers and also have an iPod, iPad and iPhone. They all sync via my MacBook through an external hard drive right now and this is the only computer I currently sync to.
    Since I have a Mac Mini as well as a iMac, I want to see if there is a way that I can wirelessly share the external hard drive with the itunes library in it and all the computers would be hooked up to it going off that one source and itunes library. I buy music from not only itunes so I import music all the time to itunes and also want to make sure that it will update to the computers that are connected to the library automatically as I wouldn't want any inconsistency's when I need to sync one of my devices to one of my computers.
    I hope there is a way to do this, and if there is can you please help me out and explain or point me in the right direction at least to where I can find out about this?
    It would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
    both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
    to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
    for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
    Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
    no need.

  • Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
    You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.
