Linking two computers together

Can I link two macs together so I have access to both but the other computer doesn't have access to mine?

If you own both and have admin accounts on them, yes. On the "other" computer, go to System Preferences, Sharing, and turn on File Sharing.
When the two computers are on the same network, you should see the other computer appear in your sidebar in Finder. Click it, authenticate with your admin details (from the other computer), and you now have access to its files.

  • Linking two computers

    so i've got one computer at 10.3.9 that's been our workhorse. we're purchasing another computer that has 10.4 on it. they'll both have final cut pro and be able to do stuff. like make dvd's, export videos, etc... how do i go about linking the two computers together? or is it possible? i'd also like a fast solution since i'd be working with large file sizes (in the gigabytes.)

    Not quite clear what your needs are, to do a one-time migration of files so you can retire the old computer, or to use both computers and continually share files so you can work on projects with either one. Some good suggestions for both situations already posted here, so you may want to implement both techniques to perform an initial migration using FW target disc mode or physical media for large files then use network file sharing through a high-speed wireless or wired router to access smaller files on a daily basis. Using Chicken of the VNC you can even use one Mac as a console to perform work on the other Mac, with a slight network lag in the display.
    One thing to consider in sharing work between a 10.3 and 10.4 machine: you might find slight differences in the apps versions and their data files, you might consider upgrading the older machine to 10.4 or at least make sure you use the same version apps on both machines so the project files will be truly interchangeable.

  • Linking two accounts together

    Are you able to link two accounts together.  For example, I have had an account for a long time, but now my husband has one as well as my son.  My son is currently signed in with my account but I would like to give him his own as well as share what I have with my husband.
    Thanks,
    Stephanee

    Sorry, but it is not possible to merge iTunes Store accounts. You can, however, use content from multiple iTunes Store acounts on any given system or device. You just have to authorize the device to each account. You will have to use the account though which any item was purchased for redownloading, app updates, etc.

  • Linking Two Folders Together

    Hi,
    I have a 13" MacBook Air Mid 2013, 128GB, 4GB RAM, 1.3 GHz, OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
    When I put a folder in iCloud Drive, the folder is in iCloud Drive and on my Desktop. What I want to do is link the two folders together so when I save a file in the folder on my desktop, it puts it in the folder that's in iCloud Drive too. I hope I have explained this good enough.
    Please help.
    Thanks

  • Linking Two Macs Together?

    Hello,
    I've been thinking of getting two PowerMacs probably a G4 and a MacPro. My question is:
    Is there a way to have one of the two, be the computer I use and have the other connected to it?
    Essentially so that I could use the Superdrive, processor and Ram on the other mac. Somewhat to create one computer with another connected to it so I can use all of the computers features through one.
    If it is possible How?
    And what do I need to do it?
    Also is this just a waste of money to get two?
    I'll be using it for professional Final Cut Pro editing.
    Thank You!
    eMac 1ghz 768MB Ram SuperDrive 80gb HD   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I'm not quite sure that this question was answered but I too have the same type of question. I have two Macbook Pros, 1 Core Duo and 1 Core Duo 2. I would like to know if these two computers can be connected together where all hardware can be used, especially the Superdrives. Can 1 be used as the read and the other be used as the write for disc copy purposes?
    Further, can all ports be utilized from 1 machine such as the firewire and USB ports where I may have a mouse connected, can the mouse be used for both machines. If an external HD is connected, can the HD be accessed by both machines? Thank you in advance for your knowledge

  • Linking two switches together.

    hi Guys ,
    quick question in relation to joining two switches together,
    can I link a 2950 switch with a 1000 BASE-SX with a 3560G with 4 SPF ports with fibre and what pitfalls should i look out for .
    Thanks in advance
    Kevin

    Hello,
    So you would like to connect GBIC to SFP, you need Multimode Duplex Fiber Optical cable with SC-LC connectors. If SFP to SFP you need the same cably type with LC-LC connectors.

  • Linking two jtrees together

    Hello all,
    i want to link two elements in two JTrees
    so when i add a child to one of them at run time
    it will appear in the other too???
    thanks in advance.

    well then all you have to do is to make sure that you add the same "MutableTreeNode" object, (the element you want to link) into both models. adding a child to that node will then fire the update events to the view, i.e. the tree.

  • To save my life I can't connect two computers together.

    I have a G5 and an iBook G45.
    They both connect to the Internet easily using my cable connection. There is a DLink router that allows both Macs to use the Internet at the same time.
    But these two computers can't see each other. I've turned on file sharing and done everything else under the sun I can think of. Sometimes the IBook can see the G5 but today it has decided that the G5 server is running on the Ibook and I should access files locally.
    The G5 can't see the Ibook ever.
    I can use Firewire to connect easily.

    Hi Stu,
    Can you connect from one using the ip address of the other? The Finder command cmd-k brings up a dialog for you to enter the URI of the other machine. The first part is the protocol (e.g. http, ftp, afp) the next two parts are so unused I forget what they are. The third part is the host name or address and the last part is the filesystem or file.
    So if the machine you wanted to connect to was 192.168.1.10, and it had appletalk filing protocol turned on (personal file sharing) and you wanted to mount Applications, you'd enter
    afp://192.168.1.10/Applications
    You can leave the filesystem off. If that works, then you can connect. That means you only have the problem of seeing. Each computer is supposed to announce its services using Bonjour. There's a great utility called Bonjour Browser (free on versiontracker) which will show you what's being advertised. I have noticed that it sometimes takes a very long time before file sharing is advertised.

  • Link two computers to one image...

    How do I use two computers in Photoshop CS6 Extended to view panels on one screen and the image being reworked on the other computers screen? Thank you.

    You would have to set up the machines as dual Monitors. It would depend on the machines and the OS on exactly how to do that. You may want to Google to find description of how to proceed. Once done, Photoshop will span across monitors.

    sure, any card that has the output for 5. has that capability. i am not sure about the inner power supply tho. the only thing to do is to get a adapter so you can plug it both in. dont know why would you do that to be honest since you would have 0speakers and 2 sbwrs playing the same stuff at the same time. and if u were asking if its possible to get card and use it for 2 independent computers- hell yea, but why in the world would you do sucha thing- to make it running would cost you 0 times more than buying two new audio cards. just think of what would you all have to get - extra power supply, extra slot adapter, output adapters and you would end up figuring out that this is only a half of what you would need and ultimately you would end up like i said with 500bucks having a whole bunch of junk cords and boxes outside your case since you wouldnt be able to fit it in.
    another words- bullshiz, get 2 cards, SBAudigy sells for 50bucks.

  • How to link two keyevents together ?

    I need to detect “Shift + 1 “ and “1” separately, as these two will trigger different tasks. Normal keys like “1”,”a” can be detected in KeyTyped function (KeyEvent.KEY TYPED) and Shift can be detected from keyPressed function (KeyEvent.KEYPRESSED).
    But how can I link these two together ?
    It is possible that user gives “Shift + 1” and then gives “2”.
    But in my program how can I make out that this “Shift” is linked to “1” and not to “2” ?

    tech_cheetah wrote:
    From the APIs I have figured out that I can use this method to check if shift was pressed
    public boolean isShiftDown()
    The problem with this is that it will still catch sequences such as
    [shift down] 2 1 ...
    So you wouldn't have the sequence you were looking for, but maybe that's ok?
    If you search for my KeyboardCommands class, you'll see there is a way to map arbitrary character sequences (not just shift/control, etc) to an Action. This might be what you're looking for

  • Link two switch together?

    Hi
    I have two switchs (cat3750) and both them back to cat6500.
    one of our client, accidentally link one access port on one machine, and to another access port on another machine.
    the access port configuration is:
    interface FastEthernet1/0/2
     description standard Ports
     switchport access vlan 006
     switchport mode access
     switchport voice vlan 906
     switchport port-security maximum 2
     switchport port-security
     switchport port-security aging time 2
     switchport port-security violation restrict
     switchport port-security aging type inactivity
     srr-queue bandwidth share 1 30 35 5
     priority-queue out
     mls qos trust device cisco-phone
     mls qos trust cos
     auto qos voip cisco-phone
     macro description cisco-phone
     spanning-tree portfast
     spanning-tree bpduguard enable
     service-policy input AUTOQOS-STANDARD-POLICY
    And this link cause big multicast storm. and case eigrp routing unstable until the link is removed. I hardly to believe link a cable between two switch on access port will cause such big issue; only thing I know is at same time a multicast application also running in this area. and after I broke the link the application is still running without any problem.
    Could I get advice? if there is any possible to make configuration on access ports more secury on this case?  Could I get advice, priciply what is possible reason for this case?
    Any comments will be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    both same. there is standard configuration. no different.

  • How to link two rows together? Weights should be tied to returns!!

    Hello CB experts! I have a question. It may be simple or it may not; not sure. So, I’m looking for some guidance here. I have historical return on my sheet named ‘Symbols’. In my ‘Returns’ sheet, I have Shares, Return, Volatility, and Weights, along with a Covariance Matrix and a Correlation Matrix on the sheet. I put an Efficient Frontier curve in there and the top performing components of the Dow. I also, have a sheet named ‘Returns-CB’; this is where my CB analysis is. So, from E6:AH6 and E8:AH8, I have defined CB assumptions (they are pretty much all the same). Anyway, my question is this: how do I link the items in row 6 to the items in row 8? If I have 12% return and 30% return for stock AA and stock BA, I should NOT have 0% weight; I want to invest in these stocks. Similarly, if I have a weight of 15% for stock CAT, I should NOT have 0% return. This doesn’t make any sense. Can someone please tell me how to link the returns and weights. It works perfectly fine in the ‘Returns’ sheet; I used MS Solver to get this working. I was trying to do something similar in the ‘Returns-CB’ sheet.
    You can download the file from here:
    http://www.mediafire.com/view/?5lk0gtcd261cy3c
    Thanks everyone!!

    I know this has something to do with constraints. For instance, Cell C8 must = 100%. Cells E8:AH8 will change, depending on the weights of the stocks (this is contingent on risk; defined assumptions and parameters of the distribution curves). Likewise, Cells E6:AH6 must change, depending on the potential future returns of the stocks (this is also contingent on the risk). It seems like, if I define an assumption, it wipes out any formula that I have in the cell. So, I'm not sure how to 'link' the E6:AH6 range and the E8:AH8 range. Does anyone here have any ideas on this?
