How do you connect multiple devices to the mac?

I have a mac desktop and a laptop and two external hard drives. I would like to connect them so that I can use the laptop and desktop simultaneously and save to either of the hard drives. Also, would like to retrieve files off of one EXT, work on it, and save it to the other EXT. Is that possible or am I trying to do something that can't be done? Thank you.

All of what you want to is very possible and done by many people every day. You connect over your network, your home or busines LAN (Local Area Network) to share files, folders, drives and connect both externals to either one Mac or one external to each Mac then when you want to save a file to the other Mac, or to an external drive connect to the other Mac, or to another drive connected to the same Mac you Broswe for that other Mac, drive, folder over the network or on the same Mac. You do all that from a Finder window or the Save As dialog box that opens when you select Save As in a program you are using.

How can I connect multiple speakers to the Mac Mini?

Just received and setup up my new Mac Mini (Dual-Core i7, 8GB memory, 750GB disk) with OS Lion. Still in newbie phase. I have a set of 3-way Boston Acoustic speakers (w/ subwoofer) from an old Gateway computer. Is there any way/adapter available to connect them to the Mac Mini in order to improve music played within iTunes. Appreciate your responses.

How do you connect a microphone to a Mac?

How do you connect a microphone to the Mac? I'm trying to record vocals onto Garage Band. I tried to use an adapter (XLR to MONO 3.5 mm) to connect directly to the port on the side of the MacBook Pro.

I prefer USB mics - a really cool and nice one that I used to have was the Blue Snowball, available at Amazon for a great price. It got lost in a move but I intend on getting another.

HT1311 can you see which device bought something on iTunes where you have multiple devices on the same iTunes account?

is there any way to find out which device dowloaded apps when you have multiple devices using the same itunes account?

The purchase information does not include the device used, but does include the Apple ID used for the purchase.
Apps downloaded on one device with the same Apple ID can be downloaded on another device with that Apple ID.

Solaris 11 IPS: How do you post multiple versions of the same package?

How do you post multiple versions of the same software package on a single IPS instance(port)? Oracle was able to do it here with versions 151 and 175 of S11:
http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
Unfortunately, based on my searches, no where in the documentation (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/technologies/ips-323421.html) does it explain to the development community how this is done. The best I can do is create pkg repo instances on different ports to host each different software version.
We are trying to deploy an IPS repository for our drivers and utilities that our customers can link to and pull updates from. We have been able to post a software package to the repository using the command:
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 -d ./ Appv1.p5m
This posts the package on the IPS repository instance at port 1234 on the server. However, we would like to post multiple versions of the package on the server at the same URL. Why the same URL? So that our customers and end-users need only point to a single URL to pull down our software rather than having to add a new URL to the publisher list each time we have an update. We want at least 5 of the previous software versions to be available on the server. Posting each version of the application or driver on a different IPS instance on a different port will require customers to add multiple URLs to their publisher list and they also will not be able to initiate remote scans for updates.
Has anybody been able to do this? Is any documentation forthcoming?

dhduvall: Thanks for your response. Yes, one would think that as long as the version numbers are different, you should be able to accumulate multiple versions of a package in a repository. It looks like Oracle has done it in their S11 repository unfortunately, as far as I know, they have not shared the steps on how to do this. I would like to publish two versions of the same package. I.E. two different manifests with two different fmri.pkg version strings and two different binaries.
If I publish one package after another like this:
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv2.p5m
Then only the second package shows up in the repository, as if it over-wrote the first one.
Running pkgsend with two manifest, like this:
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m Appv2.p5m
Will cause pkgsend to combine the packages and manifests as if they were a single package... not what I am trying to do.
Both approaches are complete without errors but neither achieves what I am trying to do.
alan.pae: Thank you. Unfortunately, the link didn't really help. I've read Oracle's white papers and IPS developer guide so I'm familiar with the topics covered.
Lex: Yes, I know. I specified the versions in the pkg.fmri value string.

How do you add multiple effects to the same clip

How do you had multiple effects to the same clip. I have tried for hours
I would like to add sepia and aged movie to the same clip. I heard it can be done, but have not figured out how to do it.
anyone please.

Normally you can apply only one video effect at a time. But for Sepia, black and white, and others that can be done through the video Adjustments tab, you are in luck.
Aged Movie should already have a bit of a sepia tone.
If you want more of a sepia tone or you want to fine tune the sepia effect you can do it with the Clip Inspector/Video Adjustments tab.
Note: Thanks to Jeff Carlson of MacWorld for this tip.
If you're looking for a washed-out sepia appearance, first open iMovie's preferences and turn on the Show Advanced Tools option, which adds more controls to the Video Adjustments HUD and other areas of the program. Select the clip you want to alter and press the V key. Set Saturation to 0 percent, and then drag the Red Gain slider to 143 percent, the Green Gain slider to 90 percent, and the Blue Gain slider to 53 percent (feel free to tweak these settings to customize the results). Click on Done when you're finished. Note that the clip thumbnail still appears in color, as the video was shot, but the preview reflects your changes.--JC
If you need to apply the same settings to all clips, first select the clip you have adjusted. Then Edit/Copy. Then Edit/Select All. Then Edit/Paste Adjustments.

How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1?

How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1? We just upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, and we see no way to be able to open multiple screens at once. Before, there was a small button in the upper portion of any window. That button would take you from a particular window to the place where multiple windows are open at once. Does it do it differently? Is there a special setting button that we have missed? Thanks!
One more thing: We are only talking about Safari.

Guitaristica-
I don't think I've seen a way to have separate Safari screens visible at the same time. The small thumbnails were deleted in one of the iOS updates, and replaced with a multiple "Tab" system.
You can open an additional screen in a new "tab" by pressing and holding on a link until a new menu comes up.

How do you make multiple folders in the photo app-

the question speaks for itself.also, how do you sync multiple albums onto the phone?

The way I sync folders is this (I know it may not be what you are looking for).
But in iTunes you can pick a folder to sync to. For me I made a specific folder just for my iPhone.
Any pictures I want on my iPhone I put in that folder (copies).
And then in that folder you can create subfolders (to organize). Note though you can only go 1 subfolder deep. You cannot put a subfolder in a subfolder.
So for example:
C:\DATA\iPHONE This is the folder for my syncing.
I can create
C:\DATA\iPHONE\FAMILY
C:\DATA\iPHONE\FRIENDS
C:\DATA\iPHONE\ABSTRACT
C:\DATA\iPHONE\NEWYEARSPARTY
But I cannot create
C:\DATA\iPHONE\FAMILY\WIFE
Then you just put pictures you want sycned into them. Sort of better to work with copies and have a folder specific for the iPhone I think. At some point you will want pics removed from your phone and far easier to just delete them from the iPhone specific folder than if you went to route of syncing to the folder you actually store photos you want to keep forever on your computer. Having a specific folder with copies means you can delete and add at will and know your real memories are elsewhere.

How do you post multiple personal domains to .Mac sub accounts?

I was assured by .Mac tech support that .Mac will host a different personal domain on each of five accounts of a family pak. Now I discover that iWeb is a one-trick pony. I'm stunned that I can't create separate sites and upload them individually. I've never heard of an application that can only create one document!
And I can't even find the data for that ONE document; ~/Library/Application/Domain.sites2 is only 20kb no matter how many photos you've added to the site.
So I guess I have two questions: How do you post multiple domains to sub accounts?
And, where's my data?

The tilde (~/Library/etc.) indicates home folder; that is where I was looking. I did a Spotlite search and discovered that in attempting to backup my data, I'd moved it; Spotlite found it and it was all intact.
Then I discovered I could duplicate Domain.sites2, change the names to Domain de.sites2, and Domain daru.sites2, open daru's site and delete de's, then open de's and delete daru's, and I had two separate sites that I presume I'll be able to upload separately. Once I get .Mac sub groups created...
Seems like a stupid bit of programming; must have hired some windows guys to code it...
Problem I'm having now is, .Mac won't let me set up a sub account in my wife's name because she already has a .Mac ID and a trial account because she joined a .Mac group. Awaiting a reply rom .Mac tech support.
So my question isn't quite answered yet, but it does look like I can post several sites without having to set up separate user accounts. Seems like this could be explained in the help file in plain English...

How do you "Add a Device" from the iOS remote app multiple times?

Anyone know a way to trigger the "Add a device" feature in the iOS remote app after you've already added one?
I have multiple Apple TVs scattered around the house and multiple people who would like to use them. I have home sharing set up through my Apple ID so this works great for me. For everyone else, I'd rather not sign my account in on their devices, even if its just for home sharing. They can "Add a device" in the remote app to connect to one of the Apple TVs, but only one.
I'm using iOS 8, iPhone 5s and 6, Apple TVs 2nd and 3rd Gen

I would rather not sign my account into other people's devices.
As I mentioned, I already have my own devices signed into home sharing.
Alternatively, is there a way to get an Apple TV attached to multiple home sharing accounts?
If there is, I could have each of the people in my household set up home sharing on their own accounts.

HT3406 HOW DO I USE MULTIPLE DEVICES ON THE SAME ACCOUNT WITHOUT CONFLICTS ESPECIALLY USING FACETIME ?

Please help,
My daughter has an Ipod, I have an Iphone. Both are on my account. When she facetimes me, I will not go through. It looks to her Ipod like I am calling myself. How do I fix this?
Thanks, kniproduction

An iPhone can only be connected to a single copy of iTunes at a time for music, movies and videos, whether or not you set it to be manually managed. Manual management only allows you to control what you put on the iPhone; unlike with other models of iPod, it does not allow you to connect the iPhone to multiple computers. If you move the iPhone to another copy of iTunes, it will erase all the content and there's no way I know of to get around it. The only way to have all the same content on your iPhone when you connect to another computer is to get all that content into iTunes on the computer first.
Why that is I don't know, but that's the way it is.
'm well aware that there exist programs where I can pull everything off my phone and put it back on once its resynced, but I'm looking for different options.
There are no other options that I've heard of.
