How do I add a mac to my TMachine / TCapsule backup?

I have a Time Capsule for Time Machine back-up of an iMac. Now I want to back up a MacBookPro on the same TC. I have heard about "sparse bundling" but don't know how to set this up on my portable. Any ideas please? (Pondini ??).
Thanks.

Hi again. That's exactly my point. I know it's on the same physical volume, but in the Apple Store, when the technician showed me how to set launch the back-up for the portable, there was a display showing the two separate bundles (one with the name of the iMac save area and one with the name of the portable save area - using the portable's name as a prefix. Now (at home) I cannot seem to find that display. I thought it was in Time Machine Options (where you are asked to select the storage disk) but I no longer see two bundle names, just the name of the TC. Where would I find the names of the sparse bundles?

    Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to Store > Authorize this Computer... Once you have authorized the computer, go to Store > Sign In... and sign in with your Apple ID (the one used on the windows iTunes). To get your purchases on the Mac, click on Store (upper right corner) and nder Quick Links click Purchased. Download the songs that you want to have on your Mac.

  • How do you add a MAC address to air port so it will recognize a Nest thermostat

    How do you add a MAC address to anAir Port

    In a v5 utility it looks different to a v6 utility.. and you should not be using MAC restrictions anyway, unless you have time controls. MAC filtering is not adequate security.
    There are only two options Timed Access or Radius.. you cannot use Radius without a Radius authentication server.
    Clcik the + symbol and add the MAC address.
    Make sure the time limits are not restricted if you want permanent access.
    BUT this is just the wrong way to do things. Use proper security WPA or WPA2 with a password. not MAC filters which are next to useless.
    If you have issues getting your NEST to connect to the Airport, set the wireless name to correct SMB standard. That means short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. The current name is probably not compliant to SMB network standards hence the NEST cannot connect.

  • I have multiple macs yet I only see one mac listed.  How do I add another mac to the cloud account and have the find my mac enabled?

    I have more than one mac.  I have moved my account to iCloud but I cannot seem to enable the Find my Mac to recognize the second mac.  Any ideas as to how to accomplish this?

  • How do I add a Mac to a Windows Server 2003 or 2008 domain?

    I recently started working for a public school district that runs Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2. There are several faculty members, myself included, that would like to get their Macs onto the domain and capable of file sharing, printing to network printers, etc. I cannot find decent instructions anywhere. Could someone please point me in the right direction or give me some directions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm also new to the MAC world - I trust you were able to join the MAC's to the domain - I finally figured it out. However, I have not been able to get the MAC's to save to the Windows 2008 server where I have student folders setup. Have you been able to do this? If so can share the info with us.
    Thanks,

    iCloud on your Mac requires OS X 10.7.5 or higher.  If your Mac has this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID (or your Apple ID if you don't have an iCloud account yet), and check the data you want to sync with iCloud.
