Ichat with same .mac account?

Quick question. I have a powerbook and an iMac. I'm on the road a lot and want to be able to chat with the fam while away. Am I able to do this with just one .mac account? If so how? If not, any suggestions? Thanks for the help.

Hi Martin,
The ISP gave a free account when user in any trouble, ms upfront. Antwerp, Belgium, BlackiBook,virgin, Skynet provider. Default.
Yesterday: iMac24" clean from manuf. User had Linksys only started after Mac request, start and initiation, (.Mac account existing) network connection by start procedure mac.
IMS upfront. iChat not yet initialised. iChat does video, IMS does not, I see
more simularities. Both occasions, same result. I was not excpecting this.
I have not understood this bit.
What MS Upfront ?
(It is probably dead obvious but it escapes me at the moment)
What is IMS ?
Do you mean you get a pop up from AIM Pages ?
What exactly is in the Trash can ?
What IM Application ?
<Late here may be sometime before I get back>

Use multiple Macs with same .Mac account to edit different sites

Last year our school purchased a .Mac account to host our school website. All of the teachers had been using the same .Mac account and using iWeb to publish their own sites. Because all the sites had different names, there were no publishing problems. That changed with iWeb 2. We experimented with the new iWeb 2 on a couple workstations and discovered that publishing to the same .Mac account on different Macs resulted in sites being overwritten by the computer that was published the most recently. What's confusing to me is the that sites were being overwritten even though the sites had different names. In other words, teacher "Jones" publishes their web named "jones" to .Mac. Teacher "Smith" then publishes their web named "smith". The result... the Jones web gets deleted and overwritten by Smith. In iWeb 1x, all the sites had their own named folders organized nice and neatly, now, no matter what we do, we still get the same overwritting issue. I can understand this happening if the sites all had the same name, but this is not the case.
This had been a great way for our teachers to easily publish their own pages, unfortunately they won't be able to take advantage of the new features in iWeb 2, if this isssue isn't resolved. Any help would be very much appreciated.

You've got a mess on your hands with only one iDisk being used and dozens of versions of the Domain.sites2 (made by iWeb) in use.
If all used the same version of the Domain.sites2 package things would work. That would mean sharing that same file each time anyone edited it between all users.
You could do that but eventually someone will make a change and fail to move to all users and the Site could get messed up at publishing.
If all of the teachers used the same machine and user account they could also upload to one iDisk.
Last would be to publish to folder and upload using the Finder for each user. Those pages would not include some .Mac specific features.

Ichat with one .mac account

My wife and I have one .mac account. Can we both use ichat at the same time to talk to each other or do we need two seperate accounts.

2hooks
You do need 2 accounts, but you can either get a free AIM screen-name or a free .mac account (a free-trial account will still work for chatting after the trial period).
Check this tutorial for how you get free AIM names:

I cannot to log in by iChat with my .Mac account!

I tried many times, but when I’m logging in with my AOL screen name or Netscape screen name it is EVERY time successful! When I changing to my .Mac account ([email protected]) - it doesn’t work! Why?! Could you explain me what should I do to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance!

Hi SINtez,
Does you @mac account have a passwors longer than 16 characters ?
If so make it shorter. AIM/AOL does not allow passwords as long as @mac does and this can cause problems.
I take it the password works properly elsewhere like MAil and iDisk stuff ?

Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?

Hi all,
Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?
For example, I have a single .MAC account and create a website with multiple Podcast pages...or within iWeb I create multiple sites, and each has a podcast.
Is there a problem?
Thks

Its not possible for the same development object. Only 1 person can access an object at a time and if mutiple users modify an object new TASKs are created under the same TRANSPORT.
Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

Cannot access shared external hard drive with other mac accounts

I cannot access a shared external hard drive with other mac accounts (all accounts are on the same macbook Pro). The shared external drive is shared via time capsule and is connected (of course) in USB. I see well this external hard drive as a shared disk with my main account. Yes shared option has been activated with the Airport Utility .. but when I open other account these othe accounts can see the external drive but cannot access to its content that is flagged with a no way sign. Strangely enough when I close my main account and start opening a new session with one of the other account then fine I can access the external hard drive and its content .. BUT then it is from my main account than I cannot access its content the no way sign showing ..
Looks like only one account at a time can access the content of this SHARED external hard drive .. any one as an idea on how to really make it a shared hard drive so that all accounts on the same mac can also access it ? I am at my wit ends on this case. THANKS ..

Results of my enquiries at Apple Genius Bar .. the guys found the problem interesting. They've been unable to provide a fix neither to give any explanation as to the reason why. To be fair I was not much impressed by the technical level demonstrated ..
In the mean time I have found that if account no.1 can see the shared external drive content and in such case account no.2 (same Mac computer) cannot see its content (only the external HD with a no way sign) this account no.2 can UNMOUNT (by ejecting) this external HD from account 1 and then remount it (just clicking on the TC shared part in a finder window) and .. see and access its content ; whilst account no.1 cannot see its content anylonger. Unless it unmounts the shared external HD and remount it .. then account no.2 can see its content anylonger. This can goes on an on.
So eventually YES the TC can allow to share a USB external drive between several accounts and a same Mac .. BUT this require to unmount and remount EACH time the external drive is accessed from a "no.2 account". So OK to share files with seldom access but not practical in case of frequent access needed.
I just I have now to figure how iTunes can automatically unmount and remount a shared external HD when it needs to access one of this shared HD content from on time account no.1 and then next time from account no.2. May be I am asking too much ..

.Mac login failed | Computers no longer registered with my .Mac account

Ever since the new year 2007, I can't sync my two computers with my .Mac account. The account, ID, and password still function. However, the computers no longer show up as registered. I have 302 days left on my .Mac account.
I always get a ".Mac login failed" error message. Does this have something to do with the date change.
Any help? I need this function urgently.

I too am having this very same problem. Have you found out how to fix this yet? I cannot sync with my Powerbook laptop or my .Mac account either. It also shows no registered computers when I know I've registered 3 of them. We pay alot of money to have the .Mac account and right now it is USELESS. VERY FRUSTRATED right now!

Can I add my MSN contacts to iChat using my .Mac account?

I was wondering if there is anyway to add my MSN contacts on to iChat using my Mac account. I know that it is possible using a Jabber account and using my MSN account on iChat, but since I am paying for a .Mac account I might as well maximize its capabilties.
Please help,
shivsensarma

You can not add MSN Buddies to the AIm Buddy List.
You can however create a Jabber ID and then with a Third Party App link to what is called a Transport that will connect you to the MSN Service for Text Only chats.
Read the first two links in this section
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_jabber
The third link is the most up-to-date List of Jabber Servers with Transports I have found.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my link to my website.

Two Switches with same MAC+Priority running STP

Hi
what will happen if two switch with same MAC-ADDRESS and same STP priority will run STP , how will elect to the root bridge ???? how the STP process will handle this situation?
thanx

Well, first off, no two switches (or switchports) will have the same MAC (if they do, you're buying switches from the wrong, very bad place).
Every port of the switch will have (at least) one MAC of it's own.
Given the same priority for all switches/bridges on the LAN, the lowest switch/bridge MAC on the LAN will win as the root.
VLANS take on the MAC of the administrative interface ("CPU"): i.e., xxxx.xxxx.5000, the first port (i.e., fa0/1) is xxxx.xxxx.5001, the second (fa0/2) is xxx.xxxx.5002, and so on
If you do a "show interface", the MAC / bia is displayed in the second line.
Good Luck

Multiple controlling area with same chart account

Hi Experts,
can we consolidate multiple controlling area with same chart account in SAP BI?
for example, if in R3 I have 4 Controlling Areas with the same chart of accounts, I can get an standard BW reports summarizing them.

Hi
Chart of accounts i.e. 0CHRT_ACCTS is an attribute of Controlling area. This means each Controlling area will have it's own chart of accounts. This chart of accounts could be similar in terms of content values. So it is possible to consolidate and produce a report which provides a summary of the chart of accounts.
Cheers

Advice about creating a website(s) with a .Mac Account - Newbie

Hello,
I need some advice about creating a website with a .Mac Account.
The Situation
For my media course we need to create a short film, then brand it, and distribute it along with press releases and press packs. No other group have thought about setting up a website - where it has all the company details, info about the Cast, Crew, Film, and maybe a link to the finished product.
The Problem.
I'm the only one who has an Apple Laptop. We don't want to use the computer at the university as A LOT of students use them and every month or so they're given a clean install.
I've designed my own 'virtual series' website to showcase my screen writing work, but I haven't uploaded it. I was waiting until I finish university in the summer before I activated my 1 year .Mac Account. I have a .Mac Account, which has still got to be activated.
How do i go about creating my 'video production' site, if I've already got my own created and sitting in iWeb?
How could I just 'launch/upload' my 'video production' site without putting my own up as well?
Should we buy a separate .Mac Account?
Oh, and what would the address be, so that we can put them on business cards.
THANKS for any and all help.

Lots of questions... you've come to the right place!

Does remote sync work on a P990i with a .Mac account?

As there is a sad lack of iSync for the above phone does anyone know if remote sync works on a P990i with a .Mac account?
And if so, what are the settings?
TIA
Alix

The version from Microsoft is very buggy and crashes a lot for me. I've had better luck with CoRD (which crashes on rare occasions) and have compiled the Linux rdesktop, which runs like lightning but doesn't have the nice features of CoRD.

Mail won't sync with my .mac account - won't accept password

I have a MacBook running the OS X 10.6.8. Recently I have found that I cannot sync my Mail with my .mac account. I can log on through the internet to iCloud and read emails (I know my password is valid), but when I try to get them synced to my Mail account it won't accept the password. It looks like this may be a conflict with Mail not being updated to iCloud, but I am unsure. I have not found an update that will update the Mail to link with iCloud. My computer is also not new enough to update to the new Lion OS. Am I stuck? This has been very discouraging and I have been wasting hours of valuable time trying to figure out how to fix this.

Did you turn on iCloud Drive by any chance? If so, then until Yosemite comes out, you won't be able to sync your documents and data to your Mac:

Change name associated with my mac account

The name associated with my mac account is presently showing as "First Last" when the main account is used for e-mail. I would like to change it to "The Last Names" to connote that this address goes to the family in general. Is there any way to change the display name? I have tried in iCloud browser mail preferences, user accounts system preferences, and have no luck.

Yes I log in directly to iCloud mail on my PC
By that you mean you log into the iCloud.com website? Or are you using an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird?
If you log into iCloud.com in your web browse, What name Appears at the top right corner when in Mail?
If you use an email client which one?
