How did my desktop appear on another computer after Leopard install?

I have a Mac G5 connected by ethernet to a cable company. I bought a MacBook for Chicago which is 2,000 miles away. After upgrading my G5 with Leopard I physically took the Leopard CD to Chicago and installed it on my MacBook in Chicago where I have wireless (router) After the install, my desktop was duplicated on this MacBook from the G5 in California. I never had these two computers connected, nor have I ever done a file sharing manipulation between these two computers.
One of the files on the desk top on my MacBook, when opened reveals all my files just like the one in CA except I can't open any of them because the program cannot be found. That is not suprising at all because I never installed any of these programs.
One program did open and can be used however and that is PhotoShop which I use lot on my G5. I never installed that program on my MacBook.
How did this stuff get on my MacBook? I believe there is a bug in the Leopard CD that performs all the functions I could do manually to get this desk top to duplicate.
What do you say?

Lizard33, Welcome to the discussion area!
Do you have a .Mac account? If so you are probably seeing the new Leopard "Back to My Mac" feature in operation.

How do sync my iPad with another computer?

How do I sync my iPad with my new computer? I have imported all my songs, books, apps, etc. but did not do it by dragging over the old iTunes folder because the file structure is different and I did not want to mess up the new file structure with the old one. Now how do I get my new computer to become the "one" that my iPad syncs with?

Have you ever synced with this computer before? If you did, have you synced with another computer since then?

How to export and import on another computer whole database connection

Hi
how to export and import on another computer whole database connection with all contents ?
step by step

From the "source" computer do this:
1) Open SQLDeveloper.
2) Right click on the main connections node and choose export connections.
3) Select the connections you want exported and choose a file name and location to save them.
4) Save the file by clicking OK then copy it to the destination PC.
On the "destination" PC assuming you have already installed SQLDeveloper do this:
1) Open SQLDeveloper.
2) Right click on the main connections node and choose import connections.
3) Browse to the connections file you copied earlier and select the connection you saved.
4) Complete the import by clicking OK and you are done.
Mind that this is sufficient only if you have only basic connections, if you have TNS connections you will also need to manually copy the Tnsnames file from the "source" PC to the "destination" PC and set the
Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> Advanced Tnsnames directory
to the directory where you copied the Tnsnames file.

You'll want to enable Manually Manage Music and Videos. Once you do that you'll be able to drag and drop the music from the computer to the iPod.

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

How do I find Lightroom on my computer after I have refreshed it?

How do I find Lightroom on my computer after I have refreshed it? I needed to refrecs my comp and now I can't find Lightroom and photoshop; I do see the photo files but the LR is where?
Thx

Refreshed is a function similar to reboot I think/ Maybe I need to download the 8.1 version for windows? Right now I simply don't have LR and PS on the start page or in programs...?
OK, understand that you:
"Refresh: This option allows you to keep all your personal files and purchased Apps from the Windows Store, whilst removing all downloaded and installed programs such as Java, Adobe and Games. Your PC settings will also revert to default."
In other words you have reinstalled Windows 8 thereby wiping all programs except those from the Windows Store.
You will need to reinstall all other applications but your data, e.g. catalog etc, should still be there.

Yes. The other computer will have to be running Snow Leopard or Lion and sign into the App Store with the same Apple ID used to purchase Mountain Lion.

My wife has an NOKIA E71 and she syncs with iSync. Everything works well, but when she adds a meeting on her phone, it does appear on the computer after syncing. Anyone? We have an iMac 24" with the latest MAC OS.

Hello Kerrigaj,
After a re-install of OS X 10.5.8 uninstalled the E71 in iSync and moved it out of the bluetooth-device list first and completely re-installed it using the bluetooth manager (SystemPreferences/Hardware).
No extra thirdparty-software involved and ever since no problems.
Goodluck - hope it works for you.

How to mutliplexe my files on another computer in a network

First of all you should have the network connection between the system with enough Access Right without of probing for user name every time you do Access. As we don't which OS you are using.
Mutliplexing ;-
Shutdown
Copy the Control to the Required destination
Rename the file appopriately.
Add the path and new control file in the initialization file.
startup.
But I could not able to what is the use of multiplexing on different systems, as moragan you do it on Single Server but different Drives, that makes life easier.

How to view aperture library from another computer on network?

Hi,
I'd like to simply view (not edit) my aperture library from another computer on my home network. The aperture library resides on a mac pro, and I'd like to see the images on a macbook pro to show family members. On the surface, this seems like a simple concept - as Apple TV can do this with home sharing. Further, itunes can share it's library in this manner. Is this possible?
thank you,
T

You don't mention which OS you're using and I understand that Lion has changed some of the sharing features but what you are looking to do is doable.
Be warned that accessing an Aperture library over a network is slow and definitely not something you want to do if editing except in an emergency and you want to make triple sure that only one user is accessing the library at a time. But I regularly access libraries over wireless when I'm to lazy to walk across the house and need to check somthing out.
If you are using Snow Leopard go into System preferences->Sharing and tune on file sharing on the the Mac Pro. If you have the same user name on both systems you should have no problem accessing the library from the MBP.
If you're on Lion, you'l need to lok up how to enable file sharing. I haven't swithced so I can;r help you there.
good luck
