Is it possible to have 2 Apple computers connected to one ISP line?

I just purchased the latest iMac, and instead of selling the old iMac (4 years old), my wife wants it for her desk... (both computers for home use).  We have one ISP line that comes in... (fiber optics DSL).  Is it possible to connect both computers to just the single ISP line?
Thanks,
Jim

I currently have the Cisco Linksys WirelessN Router with 4Port Ethernet Switch E1200 which you indicated..
So, I can just hook a cable from one of the empty Linksys Ports and run it to the other computer?
Yes, you can use an Ethernet Cable for both or go Wireless to one if it's setup in a different room.

Also, we currently have both of our email address's on the old computer.  We want to separate that also to each computer.... would one of us need to get a new email address to do that?

Not if the accounts are already different, beside most Internet Service Providers allow for several Sub Accounts.
You could remove one account from the old iMac for privacy if you wanted, but it's really not necessary.
Personally when I passed down my old iMac to the Wife and Grandkids, I left most everything intact on it and then personalized the new Mac just for me.

  • Is it possible to have two apple id's on one computer?

    I have an ID and my daughter has one as well. I would like to share music with her. Is this possible if we both have our own ID's? Essentially I want to connect both of our Ipods to my computer and keep all of our music in one place.

    Hi Tigerlily89,
    welcome to Apple Discussions,
    I would suggest that you don't have your iPod set to automatically download all your contents of iTunes to your iPod, this way you are free to control what goes onto each of your iPods from the same Library.
    When your iPod is connected to your computer and appears in iTunes goto Preferences iTunes and select iPod. You should see a little box at the bottom with words Enable Disk Use.
    Tick this box.
    You should see that your iPod's contents in iTunes has now turned black rather than grey. This means that you can now manually drag songs out of your iTunes Library onto your mounted iPod icon on the side of your iTunes.
    Eject your iPod via the little eject symbol to the right of your iPod pic in iTunes.
    Now connect your Mini to your computer and wait.
    Now drag from your main iTune library whatever you wish into the iPod Mini little pic.
    You can delete whatever you want to off your iPods by just clicking on the icon then viewing the contents of the iPodusing the top right Browse button.
    Hop this helps you.

  • Is it possible to have two apple loans under one account?

    So back in June my mum took up apple finance so I could get a macbook and pay her each month (I was under 18 at the time and have no credit history) and that went through within a minute no issues..
    Now I face another issue, I want the new iphone 5s but still within my current iphone 5 contract I can't get out of but that aside my question is:
    Is it possible to have two apple loans under one bank account? (the iphone one being much smaller than the existing mac loan)
    If not, I'll simply have to save up £700.
    Thanks~

    Hi babowa,
    The reference to two Apple loans led me to believe it was two Apple finance deals in conjunction with, for example, a Barclays Bank tie-up as we appear to have here in the UK.   As you suggest, the payment is a matter between the poster and his mom, but I think that behind all this is the question of whether the poster's mom can have two separate accounts in this way.   Which of course, she can.

  • HT204053 is it possible to have 2 Apple ID ?

    is it possible to have 2 Apple ID ?

    Yes, but generally not a good idea.  ID content cannot be merged, or transferred so you would be left having to always manage two accounts to maintain your content.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can use two Apple IDs on the same computer, but you will need to use separate user accounts for each user.

  • How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
    While Im logged in I plug in  my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
    Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
    Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

  • In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file?

    In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file, similar to WebHelp where the use can select the language from a drop-down list? In Webhelp output you could create multiple Content categories. Is there something similar with the responsive output, or am I forced to have a completely separate set of output files for each language (for example, English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic)?

    As Rick, mentions, there's no default way.
    Having said that, there's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. You can add a kind of language selector to the layout and set that for every html5 output. With some JavaScript, you can have the user switch between your outputs. It would look like content categories, but you'll have build it yourself.

  • I have 2 Apple ID's and one is disabled, it's not letting me update my password.

    I have a problem and it's making me lose my mind. I have 2 Apple ID's and one is disabled. So I have like 7 apps to update and I typed in another password for my old Apple ID. When I typed it in, I knew it was disabled but it wasn't associated with my iPhone. Then it says that my Apple ID is disabled and I started to research and nothing is related. This is my only thing, please help me it's making me really mad and tired of it.

    Perhaps one of these links may assist you:
    Forgotten passcode or disabled because entered incorrect passcode too many times:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    You can also delete the apps associated with the disabled ID and redownload
    those apps with your valid ID. If they are paid for apps. you will have to purchase
    them again. Game progress and other in-app data or purchases will be lost.

    All content and data is forever associated with the Apple ID you used to download it. You should have reset the password for the original I'd.

  • HT204053 I have two apple ID's.  One is an old one I no longer wish to use, but it is the one associated with my iPhone.  How do I change to my newer apple ID on my iPhone?

    I have two apple ID's.  One is an old one I no longer wish to use, but it is the one associated with my iPhone.  How do I change to my newer apple ID on my iPhone?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    If you have used your old ID to purchase content from iTunes or the App store, you may want to continue to use this ID for iTunes only to avoid losing your content.

  • HT204053 Can you have multiple apple ids that access one itune account??

    I need to know if I can have multiple Apple Ids attached to one itunes account.  Trying to set facetime up on these separate devices and it keeps failing.  Any help would be appreciated.  I tried to add additional emails, but I all I get is verifying and it never verifies it.

    yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
    Music:
    If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
    If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
    Apps:
    I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
    Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
    Since I also have young kids using these devices:
    I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
    Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have 2 apple ID's and one I could not access that had $15 and for some reason it made me create a new apple id, I now have $25 on both accounts. how do I take the money and put it on one account?

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc.  When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

    Is it possible to have two versions of Muse on one Machine?  WhenI open Muse from my program menu in WIndows 7 it comes up the way I am used to.  I did an upgrade a week or so ago and now I have an Adobe Muse CC 2014 on my desktop.  WhenI open the application that way the GUI interface looksw totally different, more like Illustrator.  What is that all about?

    Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
    However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
    Two large book stores have said using my account with them to download books to our two separate Adobe IDs is OK, but I don't want to find my husband is unable to open his downloaded books.
    Thank you folks for any advice you can give,
    Sue
