This is incorrect you should read the agreement. One License One machine. Read the agreement PDF I linked to. I also showed the item that pertains to what you said. It is not legal to have it on more than one machine, run time has nothing to do with most software agreements. Some allow it Apple does not.

    I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

  • Can this be used with out a internet connection?

    Can this be used without WiFi? Like be used as an external hard drive?

    You cannot plug in to the USB as many people would like to do. It can only be used as network drive.
    If the TC is not going to be part of the network.. just in bridge to the main router is fine.. then it is very hard to set two networks. It is possible but as g_wolfman has stated, it is far from great in that role.. USB drives are cheap as, faster than TC and more reliable with TM.

  • Can this be used to backup Physical Switches

    I'm being told that this
    can this be used to backup the configuration Physical Switches, is this true?
    If so where is this done?

    Agree with Dktoa & Roger, SCOM is monitoring tool not backup solution.
    if you mean SCDPM, you can't use it in backup Switch configuration. Also you can use ask this question in
    DPM forum.

  • I currently use Snow Leopard and Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage o my Mac.  If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

    I currently use Snow Leopard with Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage on my iMac.  If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

    If the Microsoft Office is 2004 then no.
    Mavericks System requirements.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5842
    Note I would recommend a minimum of 4GB RAM.
    You need to check all you software and hardware including any peripherlas you use, printers etc that they are compatible with Mavericks.
    Any software that is PPC and uses Rossetta will not work with any OS X verson later than 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
    If you decide to upgrade have a tested backup of your current system in case of problems and you could return the computer to its previous configuration.

  • Running 10.6.8 on mac mini. ethernet port quick. I can not print using wireless

    Can not print using wireless. It printed fine using ethernet
    Running 10.6.8 on mac mini. Ethernet port has quit. (lighting strike I think, it fried two routers, did not get anything else)

    Nothing to go on here.
    Do you have a wifi capable printer? If so, what model? What happens when you try to set it up?

  • Mac mail version 4.5(1084/1085) can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8(Build 10K549)

    At some stage today I did an update which has killed Mac Mail.
    I have read the forums, performed a combo update 10.6.8 with no result, I still get the error
    You have Mail version 4.5(1084/1085). It can't be used on OS X Version 10.6.8 ( Build 10K5489)
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks mate but Software update is indicating that I am all up to date.
    I have booted off an older clone and mail was fine. I may have to go for a fresh install of the system but it annoys me to have to do that. It's gotta be something simple!

  • 24" imac, can this be used as a second monitor

    Hi All,
    I have a 2007 iMac and on the verge of buying a new Mac Pro Desktop.
    So i was wondering if I can use this imac as the monitor for the New Mac Pro.
    This will save me money for buying the new monitor. Can some1 pls be able to tell me how this would work?
    Many thanks,
    Apurva Shah

    Only Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and Mid 2011 and newer iMacs can be used as an external screen with Target Display mode, so your Mac is not compatible.
    However, you can use an application like ScreenRecycler to use the iMac as an external display through the network. You just need that both Macs are connected to the same network

  • Airport Express - Can this be used to connect my wired Xbox360?

    Hi
    I currently have a Timecapsule set up as my main internet and network hub. I wanted to connect my Xbox360 and Mac Mini to the internet and network but they are in a different room and I wanted to use ethernet cables (the Xbox doesn't have wifi).
    Could I use an Express for this - i.e. connect the express near the xbox and within the signal from the Timecapsule and then run an ethernet cable from the express to the xbox - would this work? Would I get close to 802n speeds this way. My Mac Mini only has 802g so if I connected this way would I get closer to 802n speeds when transferring data across the network etc.
    Let me know - my other option is to just an ethernet cable from the Timecapsule to the Mac Mini and Xbox - flat ethernet cable - but this would need to be run under the carpets.
    I'd like to know which option would give me good speeds etc.

    With regards to plugging your XBox into the Airport Express, then yes, it appears this is possible - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1515 (Although I don't have an xbox or an Airport Express so I can't guarantee this).
    In theory you should get 802.11n speed between the wireless points although your speed via the ethernet cable is slower (in theory) than n-mode. In practice, the n-mode won;t connect at full speed all the time and you're likely to get a better speed from a cable running from the mac-mini to the TC.
    I use my Macbook over the air to my TC in n-mode and while the speed isn't lightning fast, it gets the job done.

  • Can i backup using a cable, can this be used as a external hard drive?

    i have 2 macbook pro's running mt lion, ipad iphone ipod running io6 and a exsisting network, i would like to know if i can use this as a external hard drive where there is no network, can i use it as a ex hard drive while it is only connected to my laptop, can this extend my exsisting network??

    Let's start with the last question first.
    The Time Capsule can only  "extend" a wireless network if your main router is also an Apple device.
    If it is, the Time Capsule can be configured to "extend a wireless network" by connecting using wireless only....assuming that it is located where it can pick up a good wireless signal from the main Apple router.
    In this type of setup, the Time Capsule will provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located and allow you backup using either wireless or directly using an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
    If your main wireless router is not an Apple product, you must connect the Time Capsule to the main router using a wired Ethernet connection. You can run the cable virtually any length that you need in a home. In this type of setup, it is also possible for the Time Capsule to provide more wireless coverage.

  • A question about Maveric installer created on a USB key? Can this be used multiple times?

    I have downloaded Maveric on a Mac Book Pro.
    Then without installing utilising Diskmaker X as suggested using a USB key have created Maveric installer.
    My question is that I wish to know if the above created USB installer could be used in more than once to install Maveric?
    If I put that above created USB on a Mac Book Air and do the install, and could I use the same USB installer on a second Mac Book Air to install Maveric OS?
    This will help not needing to use broadband downloads where restrictions apply?
    Regards

    Thank you Lanny.
    That is great to know about Mavericks.
