I just bought a second mac, should/can both macs have the same "name"?????

Hi, I just bought a second mac and need to know what I should do regarding the "naming" of the new one. Should the name be different.....or just the "short' name? Will the files I migrate over not open if it's not the same name as my first mac? when it comes to the new "mobileme", shouldn't my macs have different names in order for it to 'sync' properly? I'm very confused over the entire issue....

It shouldn't. After migrating files from the old computer to the new one, repair disk permissions. If you're using Mac OS X 10.5.4 or 10.5.3, you might get permission errors, but you don't need to worry about them unless you're having problems running a particular application. I consistently get a "cups" error with 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 but it doesn't affect the computer's performance. It seems to be a bug in the operating system.

  • I just bought my kids Ipod Nanos - can we all use the same Itunes or do I have to load I-tunes for each Nano?

    If you have multiple I-pods/Nano's does each one need their own Itunes icon?  How do you handle I tunes with multiple products?  I tries opening my current itunes and plugging in my kid's Nano.  Itunes just says "doesn't recognize" and instructs me to unplug.
    Please advise

    It does not. See here for different ways to manage multiple iPods.

    So iTunes is telling you unrecognized device or Windows telling you this?  You may need to uninstall and re-install the Nano's drivers.

    Not without buying them from the new iTunes Store account.

    Hi again,
    this may be old news to some people, but I just realized we can have the desired benefits I originally listed (encapsulation, reuse, maintainability, security) TODAY by using pipelined functions and using the table() function in Apex report region queries.
    So the report query basically becomes, for example (if get_employees is a pipelined function)
    select * from table(my_package.get_employees(:p1_deptno))
    The only downside compared to a (weakly typed) sys_refcursor is that you have to define the type you are returning in your package spec (or as an SQL type). So it's a bit more coding, but it's still worth it for the other benefits it provides.
    I like Apex even better now! :-)

  • Can two bands use the same name on iTunes?

    Hi, I'm in a band that uses the same name as another band listed on iTunes.
    Can two bands with the same name be listed on iTunes? We hope to eventually have an album for sale on the site and I'd like to know now if it's going to be a problem.

    Of course it will be a problem. You simply can not have two bands with the same name. I can think of MANY bands that had to change their names (either completely or just for certain countries) because the name was already taken. Blink (Blink-182), Bush (Bush X), The Beat (The English Beat), Yazoo (Yaz), and the list goes on and on.
    Your band better start brain storming for a new or modified name.

  • Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

    Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

    No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
    I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use  heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

  • TS3899 Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

    Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

    I guess so.    But the email content will mirror on both phones.
    If you are talking about your Apple ID and iCloud email, yes, it is possible, but again the phones will mirror.   You should not have the same Apple ID and iCloud both.  
    Why?
    If you explain the reason for the question we may have a solution that works for you.

    I have an old I pod that was syncd with a windows computer, now i am trying to sync with my mac itunes account.  We have the same i tunes account but it is saying i will lose all my songs if i sync now.  Help?

    I would recommend you use a program called senuti that allows you to copy your songs over to a new computer from an iPod. Unfortunatlly you have to pay for the full version but it allows you to have 1000 free song capacity of copying over and a movie counts as the capacity of 1 song.

  • My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac which is current running Leopard.  Does she have to buy SnowLeopard for her Mac first?  Both computers use the same apple ID and password.

    My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.  Does she have to first buy a SnowLeopard upgrade for her desktop?  And will the upgrade from SnowLeopard to Lion then be free?  Both computers use the same apple ID.

    She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.
    She needs to purchase Snow Leopard but she can re download Lion on the desktop for free after Snow Leopard is installed.
    And definitely use the same Apple ID to download Lion on the desktop.

  • Can 2 different podcasts have the same name?

    My friends and I have recently created a podcast and posted it to Itunes
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-get-a-life-podcast/id529624848
    After we had posted for a while a member of our group discovered that another podcast had the same name:
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/get-a-life-podcast/id398385612
    Is it possible for both podcasts to exist? Will one of us have to change our name? Can they force us to change our name? I'm hoping neither one of us will have to do that. Any and all help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

    If you mean can they both exist in iTunes, clearly the answer is yes since they are both there now.
    Look at this:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Get-a-Life-Podcast/107052592671571
    If you do a web search on "get a life" podcast you will find even more.
    It could be confusion if someone is looking for your podcast and finds one of the others.  Also, if one of you Get A Lifers gets famous (and I hope it is you), there will be legal action for sure.
    You may want to consider adopting a more unique name.  Just my opinion.

  • Ipod touch genre duplicates itself in my music list. So both genres have the same list of songs.. how can i correct this?

    My ipod touch music genre has duplicated itself, with both list having the same sets of songs. this is very annoying as i have multiple genres that i listen to. how can i fix this

    Now, is it synced via wireless or USB?
    When I upgraded my 4 to iOS 7, I had that very problem. The phone said all my music was on it, but when I tapped on a song, it would show the icon as though it was playing and after a couple if seconds, it would skip to the next song.
    Here's what I did: Reconnect and do another sync. Or, back-up your phone, do a restore and then trying syncing your files again.
    I hope this helps
