How do I set up multiple computers to use time machine on time capsule

I have tried to set my other macs on time capsule using time machine as the backup device. All I get is the error message "there is a problem connecting ot the server.... Check the server name and ip address. This is supposed to be easy, so how do I set the other computers up?

Whether or not this is possible will depend on the type of modem that you are using with the Time Capsule.
If you have a simple modem (with only one Ethernet port), you can likely set up the Guest Network feature. If you have a modem/router (it will have multiple Ethernet ports), unfortunately, it is not possible to set up the Guest feature and have the Time Capsule operate correctly.
Can you provide the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

    how do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?

    Interesting - I was sure I'd seen a note somewhere that it was only Mail, but this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020
    does say
    Your secondary iCloud accounts can be set up and viewed in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your iOS device, or Apple () menu > System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on OS X Lion. You may choose to do this if you have a second iCloud account and need to access its Mail, Contacts, or Calendar data. 
    Note: While you can configure multiple iCloud Mail accounts in iOS, Push mail will only work for the primary iCloud account in iOS. Secondary account(s) will check for mail based on the settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
    It's not something I can test - I suppose the second account's data gets added to the lists in iCal and Address Book?

    It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
    The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):

  • "CLOSED":How to plan inventory from multiple orgs simultaneously using MRP?

    Hello everybody,
    How to plan inventory from multiple organizations simultaneously using SCP?
    My customer found that in supply chain planning (MRP) system always plans in single manufacturing organization, say, ATC, firstly. If set in organization item master, the source type as 'Inventory' and the source organization as another trading organization name, say, ANX. if there is insufficient inventory in ATC, SCP-MRP would plan in ANX, disregard of the inventory exist in ANX for the item.
    But for some items, there are both inventory in ATC and ANX and we want plan BOTH their inventory simultaneously instad of firstly ATC and then ANX.
    Is there any standard function in Oracle that can do so? I found that the sourcing rule cannot help in this case.
    A simple test case is described in
    https://gtcr.oracle.com/gtcr-dir/gtcr_4607/5580425.992/Alternative_to_plan_multi-org_MRP.doc
    Thanks

    Catalina,
    Net the inventory simultaneously? Its not quite clear what your client wants.
    Even in the old SCP, you can use sourcing rules to first net inventory in org1 and then net the inventory in org 2 via a transfer from rule. The key point is it is always incremental based on where you place teh demand and then you provide source to fill that demand.
    One restriction that ASCP still has up to 11.5.10 is that you can only have sourcing rules going in one direction. This means that you can't have a rule that sources ORG1 from ORG2 for item A, then have the revers in ORG2 sourcing from ORG1. That won't work, ASCP will randomly ignore one of the rules.
    The best choice may be to use GOP with a sourcing split % so that yo do consider the inventory in both orgs when demanding the order, but it would still be done by checking ORG1 then ORG2.
    Hope this helps.

    Basically, if your client does not have a Mac then don't use iWeb to create the site. iWeb is Mac only and if a client wishes to make alterations, then they need the domain file.
    If your client needs to update on a weekly basis, then why not consider using one of the online website creation packages where you can log in from any Mac or PC. This would be simpler and there are lots out there - Microsoft Office Live or Google or something like http://www.wix.com where you can create a site and use a domain name with it.
    Look at the alternatives before using iWeb.

  • I have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipods. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone?

    i have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipod touches. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone or rather using my apple id? Is this possible? Does each device need its own apple ID and/or icloud email?

    Try unchecking your phone number and email address (if present) under You can be reached by FaceTime (iMessage) at in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime on their devices.  Also uncheck their email address (if present) on your phone.
    Otherwise have them use separate Apple IDs for these services (tap the ID, sign out, sign back in with a different ID).  You can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes.
