Link to more than one Mac?

Can I link my ATV to more than one Mac?  We have two in the house.  It would be handy to link both, rather than deleting one and setting up with the other.

If they are using different home sharing ID's then you can only do one at a time. However, multiple Macs can be used when using the same ID.

  • IChat with NAT for more than one Mac?

    I am a bit confused about firewall settings for iChat AV. I have a netgear FVS328 router. Obviously to have iChat working, I first open the firewall on my mac (Tiger) for the appropriate ports. Then I defined a service on the router and a rule to open those ports. It works... however, I have an issue.
    In the router firewall setup I had to give an LAN IP Address to which packets for those specific iChat ports would be forwarded. Now, I understand this when a connexion is ignited from the Internet and (for example) you would want all HTTP trafic on port 80 to go to your web server. But here I have more than one mac behind my firewall. Moreover, they get there address by DHCP. I can't change the firewall setting each time I want to chat from a different computer!
    I tried to have a look at port triggering, but it doens't seem to exist on the netgear. But even though, I would have to specify an IP address on my LAN.
    Why is this needed since basically both iChat parties are already connected to .Mac so the connexion is made!
    I am also wondering how they manage that kind of problem in Internet cafes where they certainly do not have a fixed Internet IP address for each PC or Mac available!

    HI Alexander,
    This page shows the set up for Port Forwarding for just the login/Text chatting port.
    You may be able to repeat this for another IP address (depends on device if this is allowed).
    You also have to repaet the process for the other 22 ports
    These are all on UDP (5060, 5678, 16384-16403) The group of twenty ports at the end may have to be entered one at a time
    Port Triggering is a method on some routers and modems that has data arriving on one port Trigger the opeing of other ports. I can not see that you have it from the Pics in the link. (newer Firmware if available may have it).
    ANother option on some devices is UPnP where the ports are opened by the Application when they are needed.
    Both UPnP and Port Triggering Allow for multiple computers to use the same ports.

  • Why is all my icloud account linked with more than one apple id?

    why is my iphone 5 merged with more than one account?

    What do you mean by "merged with more than one account" and "linked with more than one Apple ID"?  What exactly are you seeing on your phone?

  • Can I back up more than one mac to the time machine:

    Can I back up more than one Mac to a time machine? I have a laptop and a Mac Desktop computer can I back up both on the same Time machine

    Absolutely.
    However, quoting from ASC contributor Pondini's excellent Time Machine FAQ:
    It is advisable, though, to partition an external disk that will be connected to your Macs into one volume for each Mac ...

  • How do I install Lion on more than one Mac

    How do I install Lion on more than one Mac?  As I have a MacBook Pro and a iMac?

    Purchase Lion on one of the machines.
    Log in to the MAS with the other machine, using the same Apple ID you originally bought Lion with. Go to the Purchased Tab and Lion should be available for download. It should say Install.
    It's possible that you will be asked for credit information as a form of verifying who you are.

  • Synching with more than one mac?

    I want to synch my Touch with iCal and Address Book on more than one mac. Is there a way to do this? Can I somehow rename the iTunes on each mac the same name so it thinks all the macs are the same mac?
    Thanks.

    This is kind of annoying. Well, actually it is VERY annoying. I admit I don't quite understand this concept.
    So if I go to my friend's house for a party and I want to play my tunes on his computer I, how does that work? I have to erase my iPod to be able to talk to his computer?
    I know I could travel around with a cable with a mini plug at each end but sweet marie. My iPod Classic can speak to whichever computer I please.
    If I had actually paid for my iPod I would take it back.
    Am I over reacting?

  • Can I photocast to more than one .Mac account?

    Is there a way for me to choose which .Mac I'd like to photocast to from iPhoto? I have more than one .Mac account and would like to share different albums to different .Mac accounts.

    I believe that iPhoto uses the account which you have entered in the .Mac section of the System Preferences
    In order to make iPhoto use the other account it seems like you will need to change the details in the .Mac Preferences

  • Is purchase of one copy allowable on more than one mac?

    is purchase of one copy of OS X allowable on more than one mac?

    Ex, purchase OSX Mountain lion once, insstall it on 10 devices.
    There isn't a limit. That 10 device limit is for content from the App Store (ie iTunes Store), not the Mac App Store—two different places; two different license agreements.

    It is not possible to port forward the same port number to more than one computer on any router that does NAT. It is impossible for the router to know which of the computers to send it to and sending it to both would confuse the software.
    Think of it another way all post for a particular house is delivered by a postman. Once posted in the mailbox someone picks it up and ensures it reaches the correct person by the name written on the post. Now if you have 2 John Smiths in the same house nobody will know which one it is for. The same applies to the port numbers on the router. Some applications allow you to select a unique range of ports for each computer so you can organize a unique port for each computer but iChat doesn't.

  • If I own more than one Mac, do I have to purchase lion for each one?

    If I own more than one Mac, do I have to purchase lion for each one?

    No... u can click on your purchases holding down the option key and it will allow you to download lion again
    copy this from your applications folder to your other mac's application folder and just click install
    that's what i did.
    i also made a usb key of lion following these instructions...
    using Lion DiskMaker

  • HT1522 Restricting using Remote on more than one Macs.

    My Apple remote works with more than one Macs. Is there a way to restrict that? Meaning, can my remote be made not to work with any other Macs except my Mac to which it is paired?

  • If I have more than one Mac, what do I need to do for the apps to be on both machines?

    If I have more than one Mac, what do I need to do for the apps to be on both machines?
    Also, what can be done about an app that doesn't work as promised?

    If you mean iPod/iPad apps then you need to have a replica of your iTunes Library on both machines. You can backup your iTunes library - Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive - then restore it on the other computer. Also, see iTunes- How to move your music to a new computer.

  • Can I use a magic trackpad with more than one Mac at a time?

    I am attempting to pair a MTP with a second MacBook Pro.  So far I can't get system preferences to find the MTP.
    I am wondering whether the MTP can be paired with only one Mac at a time, and that this is why my MBP won't find it.
    The reason I am thinking this is because the little booklet that comes with the MTP says 'after you pair your MTP with a Mac, you can pair it again with a different Mac.  To do this, you first remove the existing pairing and then pair the trackpad again'.
    Can anyone advise, please?
    If it can be paired with more than one MBP at a time, any suggestions why my system preferences search for the MTP is not producing any results?
    Thanks

    Yes, your keyboard, mouse or trackpad can be paired with multiple Macs.  You can even have multiple keyboards, mice or trackpads paired with one Mac.  The caveat is that the device can only be connected to one Mac at a time.  The device can't be paired or connected with a Mac while it's currently connected to another.
    Pairing a device with 2 Macs will be troublesome if the Macs are located within 33 ft of each other.  The device will connect with the first available paired Mac and then unavailable to the second.   If the Macs are located outside the 10meter range, it's quite easy to power off the keyboard (forcing a disconnect) then walking the keyboard to Mac 2 and powering the keyboard on.   I do this with a keyboard from my iMac to a Mac Mini in another room.

  • Can a position be linked to more than one org unit by A012 relation in SRM?

    Hi All,
    In the HR Org structure in ECC, a position (S) can have more than one A012 relation with different organization units (O).
    For example:
    S 123 has a A012 relation with Org unit A; validity date: 04/04/2006 to 12/31/9999
    S 123 has a A012 relation with Org unit B; validity date: 06/01/2006 to 12/31/9999
    org unit B falls under Org unit A in the Org unit hierarchy structure.
    But, in SRM I find that only one relation A012 linking S to O can be maintained, which is:
    S 123 has a A012 relation with Org unit B; validity date: 06/01/2006 to 12/31/9999
    I tried passing the data again through PFAL transaction (update mode), but the data in SRM does not change.
    Is this standard behaviour? Can't a person manage more than one org unit in SRM?
    I am currently working on SRM 5.0 with ECC 6.0 as backend.

    Hi,
    This functionality only relates to users who are professional
    purchasers. It means that they can be responsible for more than one
    purchasing group. In past releases, they were responsible for the
    purchasing group that they hung from in the org structure. Since some
    customers wanted that they could be responsible for more than one
    purchasing group, but the system would not allow the purchaser to belong
    to more than one org unit. Hence they introduced the new functionality
    that I described above. However it is not technically possible for a
    user to belong to more than one org unit since this would lead to
    inconsistencies in the way that the attributes work.
    I hope this helps.
    Kind Regards,
    Edel.
