Log in on another computer with your mini

Hi, I have a mac-windows network. i have two windows connected to one mac(mac mini). On the login screen, i can select "account x" "account y" and "Other" when i click on other, i get to type in the username and password. i have seen this on my computer network, which has 4 macs, and like 100+ windows. i have tried typing in my windows computer username and password, but it doesn't work. at my school, it did. any help on how to login onto a windows account, but on mac os x, would be greatly apreciated.

I assume you are trying to access files on your Windows machines over a network from your Mac. You don't do that via the Mac's log in screen. You do it using the Network Browser in the Finder.
First, make sure you have file sharing enabled on you Windows machines. Then click on the Network icon in the Finder's Sidebar. You should see your Windows machines in the list. Double click on a machine and enter your username/password.

  • Protection Error - This application cannot continue because another application with an identical serial number is already running on another computer on your network

    I attempted to open Final Cut Express this morning and got the message, "Protection Error - This application cannot continue because another application with an identical serial number is already running on another computer on your network".
    I have no other FCE on any computers...this is the only mac running (iMac 2008 model).  I used a preference manager app and deleted preferences...didn't work.  I uninstalled and reinstalled FCE...didn't work.
    This is the first time I have used FCE since installing the Yosemite OS, so I'm thinking perhaps that has something to do with it.
    Any ideas?

    There have been recent posts appearing about your problem. I'm not sure if anyone has found a solution.
    FCE was abandoned by Apple years ago, and they are currently making Operating Systems without regard to how it impacts FCE.

    That is what I would try - a fresh install - but your need to use FCS remover (from the same software source as Preference Manager) to make sure you get all traces of your existing installation off the drive prior to doing the installation:
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    If you use FCS Remover, and reinstall the other problem may be that Apple has apparently removed the Software Upgrade to FCE 4.0.3.
    So unless you have a 4.0.3 install disk, or you hadn't upgraded past the version number of the install disk you do have, you legacy projects may be tagged as being created with a later version than you have and not open.
    Hope it works out for you.

  • I don't want the 'chat' option. how can I disable it? I often get the message that I am being disconnected from chat because i've logged on from another computer. I never use chat, and it just seems to be a problem. How can I get rid of it?

    Don't expect any wonders. If you use it heavily with multiple applications running at the same time, nobody can help you. It's physics: more usage => higher energy consumption.
    Here you can find some tips to reduce the battery consumption. My tip: close applications if you don't need them right now and reduce screen brightness.

  • I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?

    I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?  I get an "X" when trying to copy to the "automatically add to itunes" folder on the 2nd computer.

    ok... so i i just made sure all my music is all together in 1 folder and i am going to trash my old music folder that is in the itunes folder... and follow your directions - let itunes start w/new library and bring my music in. Well, last little hurdle/question. I noticed that the place where my itunes library is - on an external drive doesnt have much space left on it. The place where i gathered all my music together in order to start fresh - is a different external drive and has LOTS of free space on it.
    SO... i now would like to just keep all that freshly compiled clean music right where it is but in advanced preferences I want to point to that new folder on the drive that has so much more space. So... should i delete the old music then go into itunes with a blank library and change the folder in preferences - quit and go back in and then follow your steps to loading my music? If i change the setting of where itunes looks for the music - that doesn't wipe out the old stuff... it just mixes it all up together right? I dont want that!!
    i promise this is the last question - i would love to fix this problem tonight and just be DONE!
    Thanks in advance for your patience and knowledge!!

  • HT2433 what does the error message that says " You are logged out because another computer is using this IP address." mean?

    what does the error message that says " You are logged out because another computer is using this IP address." mean?

    Some other piece of network ghardware on your home LAN (Local Area Network) is using the IP address your Mac is trying to use.
    Reboot both your modem and router, or the Modem/Router combo box you have, and all pieces of networking equipment, computers and printers, you have connected to your LAN.
    If you continue to get that error then it is a bug in OS X or you have your Mac set to a Static IP address that is being handed out by the routers DHCP server to some other device.

    Besides repeatedly asking the same question in thread after thread, you are not providing enough information to answer the question. You have been given answers already stating that operating systems do not make this very easy to do using programs for security concerns. In addition, the authentication process varies depending on what service you are communicating with. You really need to provide more information if you want to get meaningful answers to your questions.

  • Problems logging in to another computer as a user rather than a guest

    I recently installed OS 10.5 on one computer of a network with all the other computers running OS 10.4. Before I installed 10.5 I was able to log in to another computer as one of the users of the computer, but from the computer running 10.5 I am now able to log in only as a guest. From the computers running 10.4 I am still able to log in to all of the other computers, including the one running 10.5, as a user on the computer.
    From the computer running 10.5, how can I log in to the other computers not as a guest but as a user on the computer?
    Thanks,

  • I have applied the icloud on my sisters id accidently. How can I no w remove this information and set up my own Icloud on another computer with out loosing either of our information from the phone

    I have applied the icloud on my sisters id accidently. How can I no w remove this information and set up my own Icloud on another computer with out loosing either of our information from the phone.

    Please read before going through with this procedure.
    If you really want your contact back and you did not do another iCloud backap since you deleted some of your contacts, you can do a hard reboot on both devices with iClouded contacts by holding down the home and lock buttons on each of them for 10 seconds ignoring the slide to turn off thing. Make sure you have iCloud contact services off before doing so. You can then go through the whole set up process until you get up to the backup part. You then press to restore from an iCloud backup (make sure you choose the right backup for the right phone). If you didn't make an iCloud backup before the contact incident, you will have to use your two-month-old iTunes backups. Each phone should have their contacts the way they were from your last backup. You then go into Settings>iCloud>and turn off contacts. You then can choose if you want to keep your current contacts or not. Turn this off on both phones just incase you add another iCloud device to the mix later on. Now your contact lists are no longer linked (Caution: side effect may include lack of edit button). You may now add and delete contacts as you please without it happening on your other phone.
    Thank you for choosing Apple.

  • I'm trying to sync a playlist onto my phone through the computer and it says my device is already synced with another computer with my iTunes account. It only lets me cancel or it gives me the option to erase my contents and sync. Help.

    I'm trying to sync a playlist onto my phone through the computer and it says my device is already synced with another computer with my iTunes account. It only lets me cancel or it gives me the option to erase my contents and sync. Wondering how to get my device from the other computer especially since I don't even know what computer it's connected to.

    At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes.  It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time.  Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
    If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
    If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back.

  • I have bought a access to PS CS6, can I activate my another computer with this code?

    As same as the title,I have bought a access to PS CS6, can I activate my another computer with this code?
    Or, I have to pay if I want to activate the product on my new computer.

    If you should not use the old computer anymore you may want to deactivate Photoshop there, though.

  • I can connect to DM if I log in under another computer user (guest user) but not my own computer account?

    I have tried a lot of installs/clean uninstalls of DM to get my Bold 9700 to connect with the Desktop Manager.  It did once a week ago but never did a proper sync?  Since then I've done a ton of reading and trying to get this darn thing to synch.
    I'm running Windows Vista SP2, Dell laptop and trying to use version 6.0 of Desktop Manager. The odd thing that I run into is that if I log on to my computer as a guest and open the Desktop Manager it recognizes the BB.  I'm almost thinking to move my outlook and all my settings there and delete my current windows account...  There has to be a setting on the computer system that is not allowing the connection on my current login.  If I can login as another user and get DM to work than that shows the USB connection is good and device manager drivers are working, other software is not the cause (firewalls, virus checkers etc.).  What computer setting am I missing???
    I've done a clean uninstall and reinstall of the software, I've done the hard reset on the BB,  I've done the new USB cable and different USB port.  Can you lead me through some other ideas or suggestions?  I'm at a lost and next to never post for help because most times I can find a resolution on these types of forums.  Haven't found anyone mentioning the fact of logging into another computer account to see that the BB is connected and recognized.  Completely stumped but in my defense I'm new to the Blackberry world and any suggestions are greatly appreciated!  If someone figures this out I will be sure to give a glowing review!!!

    Hey tferm78!
    I have a couple of options for you to consider. First, you may simply want to authorize all of your computers for your iTunes account and turn on Automatic Downloads, so that when you download something on one computer, it will automatically download to other computers:

    You could also look into iTunes Match, a service that would seamlessly link all of your iTunes libraries:

    Lastly, here is an article that will help you move your library from one computer to another, if you so desire:
