How to use multiple computers (mac) and an ipod ???

Ok, i am very very new to mac's and ipods, i just got one yesterday. Me and my girl both have one and use it on 2 different macs. She had purchased some tv shows, and i would like to put them on my ipod as well. they are purchased so we do own them correct??? So i finally figured out how to add them to my ipod from her mac, by switching to manual mode. But than once i hook my ipod up to my mac, it automatically delets them. Because i am guessing i am in automatic mode. Can someone help me to prevent this. I do not want to change my mac out of auto mode, because it is a pain in the rear to manually add everything to the ipod. Please help???
Also since i had changed my ipod out of automatic mode once and placed it into manual mode once, and back again to auto i always have to eject my ipod. How do i set it up like it was out of the box, in auto mode and that i do not have to eject it from itunes.
Thanks so much, i know that i am a nube at all of this...

You can't do this. If you want to update your iPod from multiple machines, you NEED to be in manual mode on both computers. There's no way around this.
Here's an article from Apple which explains how to do it.

When you switched to manual mode, it automatically enables Disk Mode on your iPod.
If you don't want to keep ejecting the iPod, then you need to disable Disk Mode. You can do this in iTunes preferences.
Then again, one you go back to manual mode... which you need to do to use you r iPod with more than one computer... it's going to enable disk mode again anyway.

    Yes, you can use it for Mac computer > Mac computer or iDevice > iDevice. It's because they have different operating systems.

  • How to use iPhoto on Mac and iOS in conjunction

    I'm using iPhoto on both my Mac, iPhone and iPad. After the new Photo Stream and the new iPhoto iOS app has been released I think it is all started to get a little confusing. Here is some of my thoughts.
    1) When I delete a photo from my Photo Stream the photo gets deleted on all my devices. Nice. On my Mac, iPhoto is for instance creating a "mar. 2012 Photo Stream" event, where all photos from the Photo Stream is keept -- also the deleted once. That's OK. On my Mac I can cleanup these events by deleting the unwanted photos. All my photos are synced to iPad but it seems, that I cannot cleanup these events on iPhoto on my iPad. Is that right? I'm able to "hide" the photos from the events, but that does not delete them -- and they are still visible on my Mac after their are synced.
    2) I have an "Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit" making me able to import photos from my camera to my iPad, which I do daily when I'm on vacation. I thought that I could just import the photos to my iPad, put them in an event/album, edit/retouch them -- and when my iPad gets near my Mac the events/albums gets synced to my iPhoto on my Mac (without having to import them to the Mac manually). But it seems that the Camera app on my iPad is just putting the imported Photos in the "Last Import" album. How is Apple thinking we should do this? I cannot find a way to move them to an Event.
    3) Generally, the difference between Albums and Events in iPhoto iOS seems unclear. After the new iPhoto for iOS was released, I was hoping that I could edit, retouch and choose the best photos from an Events and put them in an Album. I can create a Journal with these photos but that is not always what I want. For instance if I would like to make a slideshow for my TV, it would be nice to have a clean album where only the best photos from an event. How is Apple thinking this should be done?
    Please tell me how you are using iPhoto on Mac and iOS. For me it does not work perfectly.

    Not only do they not work perfectly, they do not work together at all. Pretty much the only thing they share is a name. They are quite independent apps. Editing history on one can not be carried over to the other, so you can't start working on shots on one device and continue on the other. Events, Albums etc have no relation with each other and so on. Perhaps the next version of iPhoto (for either OS) will move them closer together but at this time they have no relationship at all.

  • How to use HDD for Mac and PC?

    Hi everyone,
    I may be a bit off topic or in the wrong forum or out of line on posting my issue here but I AM using a MacPro. I purchased a Western Digital 1TB FireWire HDD (My Book Pro II RAID). It is already supposed to be pre-formated so it was plug and play after using the Install disc for OS X. I then proceeded on filling it up with some files which serves as my MacPro back-ups.
    However, I was going to use it as well to transfer some files from a Dell (PC) from the office to my MacPro. I followed instruction of the Install Disc for Windows XP that came with the HDD so that it would show up in the Dell but had to stop: It asked me to format it to Raid. Will I lose all the files that I already copied on it from my MacPro if I do format it for Windows XP?
    Any help, suggestions or directions to other forums or threads would be greatly appreciated.
    Rio.

    Take a look at OWC FireWire and FW + SATA
    http://www.macsales.com/firewire
    I picked up a $24 NewerTech kit (taps into two SATA internal ports and runs it thru PCI plate) to connect to a $68 dual drive SATA case and put a couple 500GB drives in one.
    Then I picked up a $79 (there are cheaper but I like Sonnet a lot and trust them) PCIe SATA controller. Another $68 dual drive case and a pair of 320GB drives ($65 ea).
    Four drives $375.
    Two dual drive cases $139
    Two PCI kits $100
    Total: $640
    Storage: 1.5TB - scratch RAID and two 500GB drives for backups and media files.
    But I also did it over a long period and gradual, learn as I go and test each step.
    I would 'google' MacIntouch for "MyBook" before you go further, and use the search button/field here also.

  • How to use multiple JREs (1.5.0_20 and 1.6.0_07) with Internet Explorer 8?

    Hi!
    Question about the problem mentioned in subject.
    I have configured that JNLP opens with 1.5 version, both versions are enabled in Java Control Panel Runtime Settings but when I try to start a desktop java console says:
    Java Web Start 1.5.0_22
    Using JRE version 1.6.0_07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
    And the opening of the desktop creates an exception:
    Java Web Start - Invalid Argument Error
    TooManyArgumentsException[ Too many arguments supplied: {C:\WINDOWS\Temporary, Internet, Files\Content.IE5\....
    I'm trying to open my desktop with 1.5 version and other programs with 1.6 version. What is it that I still need to do? I'm kind of confused with this. Some of my collagues have succeeded with this and some doesn't, with the same configuration.
    So the question is, how to use multiple JREs with IE8 so that one application uses 1.5 version and others 1.6 version?

    Once you can come up with an actual question, I might look at this more closely.

  • How to use multiple VCI strings for lap 1300 and 1200 (option 60) in one pool?

    Hope to you a very happy new year,
    I have two differnt LAP 1300 and 1200 in my network and I need to add theme to the WLC,
    I successed to add one of theme by the option 60 in the DHCP pool at the Core SW,
    So my quetion is below:
    How to use multiple VCI strings for lap 1300 and 1200 (option 60) in one pool?
    Thanks in Advanced,
    Ahmed,

    To add to Scott's post.  Option 60 would be useful if you needed to put certain types of AP on specific controllers.  Otherwise, no real need to use it for the most part.
    Though, I do recall an issue a few years ago that some windows machines had issues getting DHCP if option 43 is being returned.
    Now, on an IOS switch, you can only configure one option 60 per DHCP scope

    Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • How to use multiple selection parameters in the data model

    Hi, after have looked all the previous threads about how to use multiple selection parameters , I still have a problem;
    I'm using Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.3.2 and I'm tried to define more than one multiple selection parameters inside the data template;
    Inside a simple SQL queries they work perfectly....but inside the data template I have errors.
    My data template is the following (it's very simple...I am just testing how the parameters work):
    <dataTemplate name="Test" defaultPackage="bip_departments_2_parameters">
    <parameters>
    <parameter name="p_dep_2_param" include_in_output="false" datatype="character"/>
    <parameter name="p_loc_1_param" include_in_output="false" datatype="character"/>
    </parameters>
    <dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="bip_departments_2_parameters.beforeReportTrigger"/>
    <dataQuery>
    <sqlStatement name="Q2">
    <![CDATA[
    select deptno, dname,loc
    from dept
    &p_where_clause
    ]]>
    </sqlStatement>
    </dataQuery>
    <dataStructure>
    <group name="G_DEPT" source="Q2">
    <element name="deptno" value="deptno"/>
    <element name="dname" value="dname"/>
    <element name="loc" value="loc"/>
    </group>
    </dataStructure>
    </dataTemplate>
    The 2 parameters are based on these LOV:
    1) select distinct dname from dept (p_dep_2_param)
    2) select distinct loc from dept (p_loc_1_param)
    and both of them have checked the "Multiple selection" and "Can select all" boxes
    The package I created, in order to use the lexical refence is:
    CREATE OR REPLACE package SCOTT.bip_departments_2_parameters
    as
    p_dep_2_param varchar2(14);
    p_loc_1_param varchar2(20);
    p_where_clause varchar2(100);
    function beforereporttrigger
    return boolean;
    end bip_departments_2_parameters;
    CREATE OR REPLACE package body SCOTT.bip_departments_2_parameters
    as
    function beforereporttrigger
    return boolean
    is
    l_return boolean := true;
    begin
    if (p_dep_2_param is not null) --and (p_loc_1_param is not null)
    then
    p_where_clause := 'where (dname in (' || replace (p_dep_1_param, '''') || ') and loc in (' || replace (p_loc_1_param, '''') || '))';
    else
    p_where_clause := 'where 1=1';
    end if;
    return (l_return);
    end beforereporttrigger;
    end bip_departments_2_parameters;
    As you see, I tried to have only one p_where_clause (with more than one parameter inside)....but it doesn't work...
    Using only the first parameter (based on deptno (which is number), the p_where_clause is: p_where_clause := 'where (deptno in (' || replace (p_dep_2_param, '''') || '))';
    it works perfectly....
    Now I don't know if the problem is the datatype, but I noticed that with a single parameter (deptno is number), the lexical refence (inside the data template) works.....with a varchar parameter it doesn't work....
    So my questions are these:
    1) how can I define the p_where_clause (inside the package) with a single varchar parameter (for example, the department location name)
    2) how can I define the p_where_clause using more than one parameter (for example, the department location name and the department name) not number.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion
    Alex

    Alex,
    the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
    So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
    create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters
    as
    p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
    p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);
    p_where_clause varchar2(1000);
    function beforereporttrigger
    return boolean;
    end bip_departments_2_parameters;
    create or replace package body bip_departments_2_parameters
    as
    function beforereporttrigger
    return boolean
    is
    l_return boolean := true;
    begin
    p_where_clause := ' ';
    if p_dep_2_param is not null then
    if instr(p_dep_2_param,',')>0 then
    p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME in ('||p_dep_2_param||')';
    else
    p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME = '''||p_dep_2_param||'''';
    end if;
    if p_loc_1_param is not null then
    if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC IN ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
    else
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
    end if;
    end if;
    else
    if p_loc_1_param is not null then
    if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC in ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
    else
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
    end if;
    end if;
    end if;
    return (l_return);
    end beforereporttrigger;
    end bip_departments_2_parameters;
    I've written a similar example at http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/bip/tipps/Dynamische_Queries/index.html ... but it's in german.

  • How to use multiple WSDL operations in One BPEL process Recieve Activity ?

    Is there anyway to attach multiple WSDL operations with a Single BPEL process ? How ?

    Thanks Melvin for your quick respond.
    When I create a BPEL process, It asks me to give the XSD as an Input. When I import the XSD it asks me to select an operation not more than one. Let suppose I select addRequest and finish the wizard.
    Now what I can see, It create Recieve activity with an Input msg of Add operation. Well what I understand from your statement is that, I remove the recieve activity and put the Pick activity.
    Now my question is How to mention the other operations like update and delete ? And how to test them ?? The link provided by you is just tell me what Pick activity can do for me, But its not telling me how to use it ?? and how the give the operation to it. Where should I need to change in the BPEL ???
