For multiple computers (3) three, do we need to pay $29. for each machine?

For multiple computers, 3 (Three) to be precise, do we need to pay $29.00 for each computer you want to upgrade to the new operating system X-LION?

As Linc points out you do not need to purchase a separate copy for each computer.
In order to update all three follow these steps:
All of your computers must be running OS X 10.6.7 (better is 10.6.8)
Pay for the update and download it and install it on one computer.
On each of the other computers, go to the Mac App store and sign in to it using the same account that you used to purchase the upgrade to the first computer.
In the App store, at the top of the page look for the Purchased icon and click it.
You will see a list of apps you have purchased including Lion. Select Lion and look for the INSTALL button to the right of it. Click that button.
Let it install Lion on the other computers.
Enjoy.
Hope this gets you where you need to go.

Having one iTunes music library for multiple computers via TimeCapsule

Hi there,
I'm just wondering how to best set-up my iTunes library. I want the library on my TimeCapsule wireless hard drive, and to be able to set this as the library for multiple computers at home. It's a waste of space to have duplicate libraries on both computers.I had this working with an earlier version of iTunes, but its not working now.
I also want to know how I can get the wireless device to fire up simply by pressing the iTunes icon. If I do this without, iTunes says it can't find the library.
Thanks.

Frank, yes. Only one library of the songs and content if it's stuff from the Music Store.
If the music is your own CD rips, then you can put all the music on a central server and have all the computers connect in on your home network.
You do NOT set your iTunes to share their libraries, or look for shared libraries, you manually do the drag-and-drop with your networked music folder into the iTunes library window and each copy of iTunes behaves as if the network volume is it's own.
The only shortcoming to this is if you add music with one machine, the others will NOT have the new songs added to their own library lists unless you drag and drop the songs into the iTunes library manually for each computer.
I have enough music that I have broken down the library list into five folders, A-E, F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z. When I add new songs, the folders they're in will be added at the root Music Library folder level, so I can refresh the libraries with the new music THEN manually file it into one of those five correct folders.
This is what my network library looks like:
http://home.comcast.net/~foodandart/Network%20Library.jpg - you can see that I haven't added the Clapton, BBC, Roxy Music, etc, to the library lists for the entire house.
The G4 frankenbeast computer in our living room, is the media server for the house and has the stereo system rigged through it and is used to rip vinyl and watch the video. I still have to refresh the libraries in my husband's laptop, and on my main internet computer, so those albums haven't been filed yet.
Of course the caveat here is that I haven't a single item that's purchased through the Music Store and thusly locked down, since I rip my own LP's and CD's, so everything is much more flexible in how I can handle it.

Using one library for multiple computers and accounts (not store accounts)

Okay, we currently have four macs in the house. One was recently bought: i7 iMac (late 2009), another is dying: (mid 2005 iMac), another is going somewhere else: (late 2006 iMac) and another is a laptop: C2D MBP (late 2008). We might add another computer into the mix some time later.
Anyway, what I want to do is have one iTunes library which all of the computers can access (even guest's/friend's computers). We have a Time Capsule, and as I have heard one can make the TC the HDD for the iTunes library, I thought it best for it to be there.
The only thing is, how can each computer (and the possible multiple accounts) each access the same library, without duplicating and messing anything up? Is that possible? If it is too hard for multiple computers to do this, I would still want the (late 2009) iMac to be able to use the same library for the two accounts on it.
Thanks.

Make sure everything you want to share is on the centralized drive (music, video, and books, but if any of you have mobile devices, keep the apps on your local drive). Mount the drive on your computer. (Remember, from now on you must do this before starting iTunes.) If iTunes isn't running, start it now.
At the moment iTunes thinks the library is on the local computer and has all the music on it so that has to be changed. Click on Music in the left window pane, select all, and delete. This deletes all the music from the library and, if you choose, from the computer too. (Until you are sure this set-up is to your liking, don't delete the music from the drive.) Now go to Preferences and select the Advanced tab. Set iTunes to look at the music folder on your shared drive. And finally, select File>Add to Library to repopulate your iTunes library. This could take a while if you have a large music collection.
Since you changed the music location, anything that is added to one person's library will be saved onto the shared drive so it isn't too much of a hassle to manually add music. You'll have to rebuild playlists which is a minor hassle but it’s a one time deal.

MBAs do not have user replaceable batteries. I'm not sure you could even buy third-party replacement batteries. You may be able to purchase an Apple part through places like ifixit.com.

I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business. The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me. Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts. Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates. There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work. I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently. Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates. I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

Why I still need to pay for the apps which I purchased when I downloaded in my 2nd iPad? For example the flashcards, I need to pay again for the additional games... Please help.

I have paid for the additional games in my first iPad, when I download it again from purchased history, and execute it, it prompt me a request payment dialog. The truth is, I have paid it previously? Is it a normal for this kind off apps which is lite (free), and paid for upgrade would not have the previlage for second device?

Hi John,
I agree with you, I downloaded it using the same apple id, and it is free even though for the first time downloading. We need to pay when we wanted to buy additional game/flash cards, but for my ipad2, when i select the one I have been purchased before for the additional cards, it prompt request payment... I am doubtful whether it will charge or not.....
Regards,
Anthony

How do I open the same ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station for multiple computers at the same time?

As the title suggests...
I have a mix of five Mac and PC's at home using an Airport Extreme Base Station as the router.   I need many ports opened on the AEBS for all of the computers- not just one computer. (for example: three people want to play TF2 on Steam at the same time; each machine needs the correct ports open on the router).   Port forwarding only allows me to forward a given port to a single IP, yet I need that port open for five differnt IP's, all at the same time.
How do I do that on an AEBS?
In the same way, I have a small office of four iMacs using an old airport with the same exact issue.   I would like to be able to connect to all of them remotely with Apple Remote Desktop, but the port forwarding on the airport only allows a port to forward to a single IP.   I want to be able to tunnel into the office network and log onto any machine behind the Airport extreme... not just a single IP.    I currently have it set up where I can tunnel into the office from my house, I can find the one machine that the port forwarding has been assigned to, I can log on and everything is just fine... with one machine.    How do I open the firewall for the other machines?
TL,DR version: How do you open ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station instead of forwarding ports?   Forwarding ports doesn't work for multiple IP's.

You can open a single or multiple ports to a single device or different ports to different devices, but you cannot open the same port to multiple devices via the AirPort Utility for the Apple routers.

Install disk for multiple computers

Hi,
My wife just got a new mac book pro today with the Leopard install disk.
I have a mac book pro with Tiger on it. Can I use her disk to install Leopard on my computer, or do I need to buy a separate Leopard install disk for me?
Thanks!

You need to purchase Leopard. Not only are you not legally allowed to use her disk to install on your system it may not work and could mess your system up
Only Family Packs are authorized to install on multiple computers

Program to organize/edit images for multiple computers

Hi!
I have an image bank I need to organize and share with multiple computers at work. Right now, it's all sitting on an external drive where all the image files are in folders. I'd love to use Lightroom, but I understand it only works for one computer??
I would appreciate anykind of guidance and advice.
Thanks in advance!

Lightroom is a single-user application. Multiple user access on a network is not supported.
Daminion is a true multi-user application, supporting networked access. (This is not an endorsement of any kind, as I have never used it, I simply state that is has the feature you are looking for)

Making space for multiple computers

I have a year or so's worth of backups of my computer & my daughter's computer on my TC. My husband recently got a mac, and we want to back up his computer on the TC as well. However, when I turned TC on for him, he got a message saying that there is not enough space for his stuff. I would like to delete a few of the old backups we don't need to make room for his stuff, but I can't figure out how to do it. Do I need to delete the entire TC and then back up all three computers from scratch again? Thanks.

Do I need to delete the entire TC and then back up all three computers from scratch again? Thanks.
If you don't really need all the backups of how your other computers looked months ago and would not mind start a new set up backups again for each computer including your new Mac, your simplest and best option would be to erase the TC drive and start over again with Time Machine backups for each computer.
Next best option would be to add more disk space with another drive and back up the new Mac to that drive.
Post back if you need instructions on how to erase the TC drive.

Using single iTunes library for multiple computers

With the new Airport Disk utility, can I attach an external hard drive with my iTunes library and have multiple computers point to that library as the library for each?

just to clarify...
Use ONE computer and ONE COMPUTER ONLY for purchasing / adding new content to the 'master' iTunes library area. Use ANY OTHER COMPUTER that's looking at that 'master' iTunes library for reading (playing back).
Yes. If you can enforce it by "persuasion", not software
Would there be a conflict if someone rates songs from other computers etc?
Yes. If they both rate at the same time.

Looking For Actual 'Sync' Tool For Multiple Computers

When I saw that syncing music via the iPod between computers was a new feature, I was Very Excited. I have music on my home machine and on my work machine. Each machine has about 3000 songs, with roughly 70% overlap on content, and only about 10% purchased through the iTunes Music Store. My iPod only gets synced to my home machine because of this.
I was hoping that this new feature would, in fact, synchronize the libraries of both machines into one cohesive library.
Sadly, this is not the case.
Any suggestions for combining both libraries into one *that don't require several hours of manual transfer* are welcome. Barring that, I guess I'll have to do the syncing myself.
Thanks!

I am not familiar with any product that has functionality to track 'source' metadata at the column level. But I have helped architect and implement several data warehousing ETL systems that had to track the source of data for Sarbanes-Oxley, financial and auditing purposes.
All of these tracking mechnisms involved ETL of record-level data from a source system to staging tables to hold the data. The staging tables had columns to indicate the data source, whether it had been cleansed or not and what you refer to as 'confidence level'. This tracking and audit information was not carried forward into the production tables but was maintained securely for auditing purposes to prove what data and values had been originally transferred from source to target.
Once data is in the production system the original source of the data was no longer tracked since that data could be modified by app users or batch processes.
Your design will need to reflect whether you need to track the changes only within your ETL processes or even after it gets to production. If you are talking about column-by-column audit history then you will may want to look into Oracle's fine-grained access control.
