How do I set up a chat between 2 of my own computers?

Hi,
I am wondering if someone can help me. I am a travelling speaker. I have a new iMac at home and I use a new MacBook Pro. I would like to be able to chat with my wife and kids when I am on the road but I am confused as how I can do this as I only have one .mac account.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Brett:
Congrats on your new purchase of a MacBook Pro!
The key to holding chats between 2 of your own mac's is having a seperate screen name for each of the mac's. You can sign-up for another .Mac account screen name that you are able to keep after the free trial, or you can sign-up for a free AIM screen name at: http://www.aim.com.
Once you have a seperate screen name for each of your macs, you'll be able to conduct a video chat between the two.
This should also be of some help: http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html

For the process, I want to input data at the screen and save the data in the table, please give me the guide line like these:
1. How can I set the data binding between Web Dynpro and Database table ?
2. Are there any nescessary steps that I will concern for this case?
Sorry if my question is simple, I had try to find solution myself, but it not found

Hi,
You can write your own connection class for establishing the connection with DB.
Ex:
public class ConnectionClass {
static Connection con = null;
public static Connection getConnection() {
try{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/TSPAGE");
con = ds.getConnection();
return con;
}catch(Exception e){
return null;
You can place the above class file in src folder and you can use this class in webdynpro.
You can have another UserInfo class for reading and writing the data into the DB .

How do you set up the passkey between the Mac & Palm?

Hi all,
I need help with a couple of things relating to bluetooth and Mac;
a) when I try to HotSync the Palm TX and iBook(OS 10.3.9) using BT, I get an error message saying "can't initiate Hotsync because port is in use by another application'.
b) how do you set up the passkey between the Mac & Palm? I can't work out how to input anything on the Palm at the step where it asks for the passkey.
thanks
iBook 1.2GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Palm has this to say about the issue:
'Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application.'
This error can occur on the Palm™ Zire™ 72 handheld after setting up a Bluetooth® HotSync® connection. When you configure the Bluetooth application on the handheld for synchronization (or when you set up a Bluetooth connection in the Connections preference screen), the HotSync button in the Writing Area may try to launch a Bluetooth connection, regardless of the connection selected in the HotSync application on your handheld. The HotSync icon in the Writing Area will always try to connect using whatever method was last used. When you set up Bluetooth HotSync, it used Bluetooth, and now tapping the icon in the Writing Area will result in a Bluetooth connection.
The issue arises if you launch the HotSync application on your handheld, and select the "Cradle/Cable" option from the pulldown menu, and then tap on the HotSync icon in the Writing Area. Your handheld will still try to perform a Bluetooth HotSync operation, because that was the method last used. You will see an error message, and won't be able to synchronize.
Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application.
Why does this happen?
Because your handheld was set up for Bluetooth, tapping the HotSync icon in the Writing Area should launch a Bluetooth HotSync. But if you select a different method in the HotSync application, your handheld will try to connect using that method as well. The HotSync application is unsure which method to use, and you will see the error message.
What should I do?
If you see this error, here's how to correct the issue:
1. Launch the HotSync application on your handheld.
2. In the pulldown menu at the center of the screen, choose the connection method by which you wish to synchronize.
3. Then, instead of tapping the HotSync icon in the Writing Area, tap the large onscreen HotSync icon in the middle of the HotSync application screen.
4. Do this every time you wish to synchronize using Cable/Cradle.
5. Whenever you want to synchronize using Bluetooth, exit the HotSync application and tap the HotSync icon in the Writing Area.
6. This will allow you to keep multiple connection methods for synchronization, and the flexibility of alternating between them.

How do I set up wireless printing between my desk jet 2542 and my computer?

Hello danamaple,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Depending on the Operating System installed on the computer, setting up the Deskjet 2540 can be done different ways. The easiest and most popular method is to use a USB cable and the printer software to setup wireless on the printer.

I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7, and I use a Roland RD700GX keyboard to input midi data into Logic. How do I set up Logic to record the Roland's own internal Grand Piano sounds into Logic, while retaining the ability to make midi edits? By Eggie

I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7 on a mid-2011 Intel iMac running OS10.7.4. I use a Roland RD700GX as my midi input keyboard. How can I set up Logic to record The RD700GX's own internal Grand Piano sounds, while retaining the ability to take advantage of Logic 9's midi editing capabilities. I am a relative newcomer to Logic, and I haven't been able to find an answer in The Logic 9 User Manual. A step by step procedure would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Eggie0379

Create a new External Midi Track, set the MIDI port to the one being connected to teh RD700. Now,create a new Software Instrument track. Select the external instrument plug-in. Set the MIDI destination and the audio input inside the Plug-in. Now, you can record the MIDI notes and hear the sound of the RD700. Once you've editied, you can bounce the track.
Best,

I have multiple users & devices on my apple account. How do i set up icloud so we can have our own emails?

I have multiple devices$ users on my apple account. How do I set up icloud so that we can have our own emails?

iCloud isn't designed for multiple users. Everyone involved should have their own separate iCloud account, which means they need a separate Apple ID to create it: and each should be using a separate user account on the Mac to sign into their iCloud account.

How can I set a time limit... on my own account?

I've been getting sick of staying up until 3 AM then waking up at 11 AM every day. I think the best way to solve it without sheer will is to just set a time limit on my computer. I know you can do it in Parental Controls, but it only lets you to it to non-admin accounts that aren't yours. Is there a way to set them for your own account via some sort of workaround? Thanks.

Hello Chuck67322,

How do i set up calendar sync between iphone and iMac?

My iphone syncs nicely between my ipad and imac, but my wife's does not and, far as I can tell, they're set up the same way. What are the basic steps so I can get her wet up - WITHOUT losing her current iphone calendar data?

Have them copy their contact to Exchange/Office365 contact. All contact at once place. Once you have all contact copied or imported to Office 365 they will be synced to Andorid or another mobile device. You can use Ms Outlook to drag and Drop the contacts.

Problems Setting Up Audio Chat between Panther and Tiger Powerbooks

Hi,
My pal Colin just bought a 1.67ghz Powerbook running Tiger 4.3 (I think). I'm on 1.33 ghz PB running 10.3.9. I've managed to have an audio chat once (with Ralph! ) but I don't use ichat much as most friends don't use macs. But Colin and I want to use audio chat - in common with an earlier attempt with a different friend, it isn't working. Colin's name appears in my buddy list with the green/white phone - OK. My name appears in his buddy list with a phone - OK. When we invite each other to audio chat, we get connections timing out - looks like the UDP SIP invite to (IP address):5060 isn't getting through on Colin's machine. His ichat bonjour is enabled but only mentions the two Bonjour ports, not 5060. We configured two ports to handle 5060 and 5190. Still didn't work. Do you need to restart after configuring ports in order to benefit from opening them? Or is there some other problem? Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mark,
Iin his Mac Firewall if On he needs:
TCP 5190
UDP 5060, 5190, 5678, 16384-16403
See here for these ports and the Jabber ones an d Bonjour ones as well.
IF he has a modem that is in default set up he may have to open the ports there as well.

Apple Doc on Subject http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208
NOTE: note 1 is wrong. It should read
1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP and UDP; and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only.

How t o set up a network between G4 and a PC running XP

I read with interest the responce to a recent topic on a similar theme. I already have a home network involving 1 x G4 PowerMac running OS X 10.4.9, 1 x G4 PowerBook running OS X 10.4.8, 1 x G5 PowerMac running OS X 10.4.9 and a PC running XP. My problem is accessing the Macs from the XP and I though I might have solved it by visiting the mac-connect.com site refered to in the topic. However the set up procedure outlined at mac-connect involves input by editing the user account data through systems preferences but I'm not able to see those screens on any of my Macs? Consequently, I'm wondering if they are based on an older version of OS X and if so, whhat is the procedure now?

Hi John,
You wouldn’t believe how long it’s taken me to find a satisfactory solution to this particular facet of my networking issues. Then just recently I discover this forum and bingo! – in a quiet sort of way, you’ve given me what looks to be the answer. Well all I can say is award yourself the CDM, or whatever is your favourite sweet or tipple. I’m not so sure about the sharepoints yet, I seem to be swapping the files I need to ok, but I haven’t tested it to the full yet.
Thanks again
Geoff

How do I set up file sharing between iMAC and MacBook Pro?

I am unable to use "file sharing". When trying to connect as a "registered user" it asks for my server password. What is that? I have tried every password I think it could be. I also can not connect as "using an Apple ID"

You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents. You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

How do I set up Home Sharing between two different libraries / users on the same computer?

I am transferring my library to a new computer and want to share it with my partner who has her own sign-on and iTunes library on the same PC. Does Home Sharing work in this situation? And how do I just transfer individual albums or playlists from my library to hers?

I'm not sure this is possible.
It would be far simpler if they are on the same computer to put the files into your dropbox (or whatever it is called on a PC and simply drag and drop them into your library.
