How two Macs with FCP can see the same F/w drive.

Hi there,
Does anyone know of a way I can have a PowerBook
and a PowerMac Dual both have access to the same Firewire
drive? _ Doesn't have to be at the same time..
"what the h%*# for ?"
The P/b is an older/slower CPU and takes over three times
longer to render (i.e. 36 hours instead of 10 on my quicksilver) so if I can edit on the P/b while the P/m is rendering the big stuff, I won't have so much downtime.. (trying to avoid the constant copy back and forth sinario)..
Thanks much,
Nick(alf)...

Please DON't Kill me - I only asked... (-:
But we got too far off topic (shame on me) so thanks for getting us back.
you can move the drive back and forth between the two
computers. You just can't have both of the them access the
drive at the same time.
The way I'm currently doing it - I have the 2 F/w drives connected to both Macs and I either power up only one at a time or mount/dismount/swap cables as needed. I was hoping there would be a way it could be done - NOT to write to the same files at the same time, that's a given, but to be able to continue working on another project, or part of the same project, while the Q/s (which is dual and much faster than the P/b) is rendering..
Thanks,
Nick. . .

Do you have v10.7.2 Lion installed on the second Mac?

You could partition the drive into 2 partitions. One formatted as HFS+ for Mac OS X back, and one formatted as NTFS for Windows backup.
You would have to move the drive from system to system to do your backups. If there are 2 systems, I would suggest just getting separate drives for each, unless they are both laptops, then you will be disconnecting the drives all the time anyway.
Unless Windows is running in a virtual machine on your Mac. Then a partitioned drive would be fine.

You likely have iCloud turned on in at least Safari. If you don't want Safari to sync between these devices turn one of them off. System Preferences - iCloud - Safari (uncheck the box)

HT201250 can I back up two different Macs using time machine to the same external hard drive?

I have a MacBook Pro and a Intel Power Mac Tower. The Power Mac is backed up to a 4 TB external hard drive using Time Machine. Can I also back up the MacBook Pro to the same 4TB hard drive using its time machine without altering any of the Power Macs backed up files on the 4TB hard drive?

Yes, as long as the backup drive is large enough.

Two sons with IPods who want the same playlist

Just bought my youngest son a Nano. Older one has a Mini. Younger one wants what his brother has as a playlist. I already set older brother up with ITunes and he's got about 100 songs purchased to date. Any way I can set up both of my sons to share the same playlist on their respective IPods?

Paul,
You can sync the same library (if there is enough room on the iPod) or specific playlist(s) to multiple iPods. With the iPod connected, click the iPod icon in the bottom right of the iTunes window, then choose the iPod icon in preferences and select to auto sync the library, or specific playlists there.
The setting is saved on the iPod, so you could set each iPod individually if you like.

Do people with separate accounts see the same pictures

If you have different user accounts set up on the same machine will each person see the same iPhoto library, or will I have to share the library on one account for the others to see it?

The whole point of using separate accounts to is keep everyone's data separate from everyone else's. So, each user account has it's own iPhoto Library. So, yes, if you want other users to see your Library you will need to share it with them.

iTunes will remember the settings for each device after you set them up for the first time.

Is there a Mac app that can do the same as DriveSort does for Windows?

I am considering moving from Windows to Mac, but first, I need to make sure that I can still do all I need to do in the Mac world as I do with Windows today.
One question, I can't seem to answer is a silly one, but important to me.
I keep my music in my car on a flash drive with 700+ songs on it. However, since the flash drive is formated in FAT, it sorts the music by the order the computer decided to save them in.
To fix the order, I use DriveSort (http://www.anerty.net/software/file/DriveSort.php) but it only runs in Windows.
Is there a Mac application that does the same? I don't care if it is free or not.
Thanks.

It's not a question of how you can sort in the Mac. It's a matter of how it writes files to a FAT based flash drive. The cars stereo will sort the flash drive by the order the files were written in and not by any order the OS has sorted it. This is the same in Windows and Mac, so a utility to "sort" the flash drive. DriveSort does this perfectly, but they don't have a Mac version. I'm looking for a Mac version of this type of software. Surely someone in the Mac world must have run into this flash drive problem and found a fix......

Whether two session with for update at the same time will wait for another?

Will this scenario happen?
One session executes: select ... for update/select ... for update nowait
The other session also executes: select ... for update/select ... for update nowait
Two sessions happens at the same time unluckily. Whether they will all stand by because of "for update" or quit immediately because of "nowait"?
Thx a lot.

No, it's not.
A deadlock is when sesson-A has a lock on something that session-B needs in order to continue, and at the same time, session-B has a lock on something that Session-A needs in order to continue. They BOTH have something the other needs.
In the OP's case, at least as he described it, it is simple serialization. The one with the lower scn will go, then the next.
PS.
Why don't you try? You can setup a small table with some records, open 2 sessions to the same database and for example issue UPDATE statements:
session 1: update where id=1
session 2: update where id=2
session 1: update where id=2 - this will hang waiting for session 2 to commit and free lock
session 2: update where id=1 - ORA-00060
You may also read about deadlocks in chapter on "Data Concurency and Consistency" of "Oracle Concepts'.

Webiste shows Temp. Unavailable on my Mac but I can access the same webiste on my iPhone

I am trying to access a website that I have accessed many times before. Now it shows "site temporarily unavailable" . I am able to access this site from work as wellas from my iphone. Not sure what changed. Can anyone help me with this?

Using Safari ??
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Now empty the Safari cache.
Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit then relaunch Safari then try that website.
If that didn't help either, since you can access the site on our iPhone, restart your router.

HT5622 How many different apple IDs can use the same credit card?

I am setting up a bank of 12 iPads for school use. I have created a unique ID for each iPad. When first signing to each account/ID the credit card details are required. I have done his successfully for first 3 accounts but can't seem to use this same credit card for any others. How do I proceed with the other nine accounts?

This is not the way to go about this. You are creating consumer accounts for these iPads. Those may not be the proper accounts for an institution.

How to play with 2 keyboards at the same time?

Hello,
I would like to play live (recording is not the target) with 2 keyboards connected on 2 separate tracks
That requires a multipart USB...but how to assign each keyboard to a different track?
Thank U for your help
Pierre

Hi Japib
Alternative solution with an iPad?
Do you know if it's possible to connect (by USB or BLUETOOTH?) 2 keyboards to an iPad, running "MainStage" application
Becose during a live performance :
- multitouch control is much more comfortable than a mouse
- it's easy to place the iPad on the keyboard
I understand that an iPad can be used as an instrument or as a multitrack recorder, but professional musicians say that physical connectors (câbles) are better than bluetooth ones
Thank you again and best:)

It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.
