See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
Multiple iPod installations.
How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
One is to manage the songs manually.
With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.

Can adobe software be shared across more than 1 persons computer?

I was wanting to know if I buy the complete package can it be shared with more than 1 persons computer, possibly up to 3 people?

If I read your intentions correctly, the answer would be no. A single user license/subscription allows for working installations on two machines, only one of which can be in use at a given time. It is not intended to be shared by a group.

May (free) Quicktime 7 only be installed on more than 1 home computer?

My family has several home computers, and would like to:
Have (free) QuickTime 7 installed on more than one of those computers at a time.
(Potentially) use (free) Quicktime 7 on more than one of those computers at the same time.
However, the QuickTime 7 EULA (End User Licensing Agreement) clearly says:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a
single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and
you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.
Are the
"install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time"
and
"may not make ... [allow it to] be used by multiple computers at the same time"
restrictions meant to apply to free software such as QuickTime 7?

In my opinion no, the quoted statements only refer to software purchases made independently by the end user such as a QT Pro license since by reductio ad absurdum one might conclude:
QT is a software download to be used as both a free multimedia player and a system "structure" which is required by other applicatiuons such as iTunes and QT "Pro," as well as, all current Mac operating systems along with Mac specific apps like iMovie or GarageBand. To apply the general EULA interpretation to all sytems and platforms would literally mean users can only have a single operating platform in any given household and also implies that Apple is breaking their own licensing agreement every time they sell more than one computer to a family since they would be including illegally installed softfare to an end user. (Brings up another interesting question: If operating multiple systems with iTunes illegally installed by Apple, does that make Apple guilty of illegally selling products through the iTunes, App, Book, and other stores accessed by iTunes?)
However, if you really want to carry this question on to a logiocal conclusion, then you can always apply for a QT developer or site license which will allow you to either distribute or install QT to/for others and, since the software is free, the cost of these licenses are also free.

How to access more than one client computer behind router

I am new to ARD and have successfully logged on to a client machine at the office. I would like to access another machine behind my router. I am using pors 3283 and 5900 to access initial computer which works find. Can it be done with another computer. I have a fixed IP and run an ethernet network. Not sure what else I can tell you. Hope somebody can help?

If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, as of today you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
to connect.
The only other options available now are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
Hope this helps.

More than one editor (computer) for iWeb and using paypal

I am not a full-time Mac user, but have been asked to complete a website for a client who has started one in iWeb. She wishes to continue her site in iWeb so that she can make future changes to it. Currently, we have different versions of iWeb on our computers (hers is 2.0.4, mine is 1.0.2). It is my understanding so far that we would need the same version to be able to edit the site on both computers.
Before I can agree to finish the site for her, I would like to confirm that if I upgrade my computer to iLife 08, and she publishes the website to MobileMe, I would be able to retrieve the site and work on it from my computer and vice versa.
Also, she wishes to incorporate paypal in her site. Would this be an issue?
Thank you.

Yes, that's right. For transferring iWeb's Domain file you could use iDisk's Public folder. The general address is:
http://public.me.com/membername
And here's an example:
http://public.me.com/emily_parker
But before transferring the Domain file, read "NOTE 1" here:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebTwocomputers.html

I had not heard of the PayPal rule for MobileMe - I will look into this. If you have a link to the documentation for it, please let me know.
+"The Service is designed for personal use and not intended to be used for commercial business purposes, including, but not limited to, *transacting online sales* or software distribution via an e-commerce site."+ ...Quoted from the _MobileMe Terms of Service_.
So yes, you could upgrade to iWeb '08 in order to be able to open the Domain file transferred via iDisk. But if the site is using PayPal, you are not supposed to publish it to MobileMe — instead, publish it to a folder and then FTP to another host.

HT4007 Using Aperture 3 on more than one home computer

My family has 5 Apple computers in use around the house - if I buy Aperture 3 as a download can it be used on all of them at no further cost? Is there a different key code that has to be entered each time? How does it work?

If you buy Aperture from the AppStore for personal use, you are entitled to install it on any Apple branded computer you control without any additional cost. Just sign into the AppStore with the Apple ID you used to buy it, and you will be able to download it again on your other machines. You do not need to enter a licence key.

Struggles with more than 1 device/computer using.....

I originally posted about issues i was encountering re regular drop outs in our internet.
These could range from beign fine for hours then dropping out to at one point dropping out every 3.5minutes
Its hell trying to get anything done. We were told that there might be an issue with the box outside etc etc but nothing has worked after we reported a fault.
We are still encountering problems until i stumbled upon something which ive realised could be the main issue for these problems.
These problems i have seen since i moved in 3 months ago - they are constant daily and its hell at times to do work online or hold a facetime with people because the connection is constantly dropping out but on friday the computer was working fine, only 1 drop out in hours .......until my partner came home. i was watching an online video and as soon as he stepped through the doorway, the connection dropped and began to drop every 5 minutes.
I thought this was coincidence .......until another night alone, my flatmate came in....turned on his computer......and the connection dropped once again and once again every 5 minutes, sometimes less.
Thinking back on all of the issues, they always happen at night time when both of us are in, we both use computers but often he is on his ps3 and im on the pc and i just realised that ps3 is connected by ethernet to the internet but again my flatmate confirms that it has regular dropouts and has also admitted its usually when im online.
With regards to my partner, his iphone connects via wireless to our wireless - my connection is off until night time or when im out so its not purging on the wireless.
Also ...and this is a test i am doing atm while my flatmate is at home.....are the results of how 2 computers are online at the same time - my results when he is not at home are nearly double. We live in the middle of the city centre and i have lived close to here before and my internet was amazing with high speeds...
http://www.speedtest.net/result/2515235770.png
My flatmate doesnt do anything except go on facebook, whereas i am the one who plays online games so his connection really shouldnt be a problem.
As stated before, i have tried several different dongles as did my flatmate as i originally thought it was my wireless dongle. when the connection goes down (and always goes down for 3 minutes) it brings up the standard broadband "can not connect to broadband" screen whereas the hub - centre icon for broadband always glows orange.
Is there a setting which might improve this - i know about channels and changed this several times - atm at channel 11 but its not made any diffence, the DMZ has been activated for PS3 connections for my ps3, firewall is default, configuration is set to allow my game warcraft priority...
Everything has been checked but unsure if there might be something im overlooking.
This is becoming painful to use now and pretty much unusable when 2 people are at home.
Any advice if possible

As you say that "broadband light always glows orange" when there is a drop out, then that shows either you have a faulty homehub or there is a problem with your Infinity line.

The computer see's the router, but the router does not seem to see the computer. please help. the linksys easy link does not see the second computer. no matter how often i type in the wep key, the second computer just will not sign on to the router.

Check the Ip address on first computer .... ideally it should be 192.168.1.1 ..try to ping the gateway address ..... if getting proper replies .... try logging to setup page of router ..... let me know how far it works ....

How do I install Lion on more than one family computer?

Q: What is the best way to load Lion on to multiple family computers? We have 2 iMacs, one Mac mini and one Mac Book Pro. I downloaded Lion to the newest iMac but now I need to bring my other machines into line preparing for Mountain Lion.

Hi..
You can re download Lion on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID for free.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps (Lion in this case) you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

Getting LR 5 on more than one Apple computer

I just downloaded LR5 to my iMac desktop but would really like to also have it on my MacBook Pro laptop. Can that be done without buying a second copy at full price? Thanks very much, in advance.

As others have indicated you can have two activations. I have Lightroom 5 on my iMac and my MacBook Pro Retina. However, you cannot share a catalog between the two over the network. So what I do is maintain my images on an external Thunderbolt drive which is accessible to both Macs. Then I use the synclr shell script below to clone my ~/Pictures/Lightroom folder between the two Macs. I run the script from my Macbook and just type "synclr -i" to sync from my iMac to Macbook, or "synclr -m" to sync from my Macbook to my iMac. Works very well!
synclr shell script
#!/bin/bash
set -u
umask 022
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo; echo "Usage: $0 -i imac->macbook -m macbook->imac"; echo
exit 1
fi
typeset -i ctr=0
thishost=$(hostname)
if [ $thishost != 'macbook' ] && [ $thishost != 'MacBook.local' ]; then
echo "This script must be run on the MacBook!"
exit
fi
while getopts im opt
do
    case $opt in
    i) echo "Syncing Lightroom library from iMac to Macbook..."
       rsync -azhE -e ssh --delete --stats \
           bernie@imac:"${HOME}/Pictures/Lightroom/" \
           ${HOME}/Pictures/Lightroom
m) echo "Syncing Lightroom library from MacBook to iMac..."
       rsync -azhE -e ssh --delete --stats \
           ${HOME}/Pictures/Lightroom/ \
           bernie@imac:"${HOME}/Pictures/Lightroom"
esac

Connecting more than 1 Shuffle

Can Anyone help with this? I installed our Shuffle and it works fine BUT how can I use another Shuffle on the same computer? After the software is downloaded, it seems to only recognize the first iPod. I bought 3 shuffles and now I can only download music to the first! The iTunes program doesn't reconize the others.Is there a way to use more than 1 per computer?

Can I have more than one ipod with more than music library on one computer

I was just wondering if i could have 2 different ipods (one a 5th generation and the other ipod touch) with 2 different music libraries on the same computer and itunes? because right now im using my parents computer and my fiance is using my laptop and we're moving so we'll only have one computer in the next few weeks. So if anyone could try to give me an answer or have a solution that would be fantastic lol!

How Can I Update More Than One Ipod on the Same Computer?

I've had my 30G Ipod since April 2006. For Christmas 2006, I bought my sister a 2G Ipod. I cannot figure out how to put songs on her Ipod as we both share the same computer and Itunes Library. I've already asked Ipod Corporate for help via their FAQ section regarding more than one Ipod operating with the same computer, but their advice (which told me to create a playlist small enough for her Ipod and checked as a shared playlist) did not work for me. I'd really appreciate any help with my problem. Owning an Ipod but being unable to listen to it, as I'm sure many people would agree, is quite annoying.

There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
Sharing a Library
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
However since you seem to have a problem with that method you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
If you are unfamiliar with setting up Windows user accounts you can read more here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

Can I use more than one iPod with one computer?

Howdy,
I have a (hopefully) quick question. Can I use two iPods with one user account on one computer? Can iTunes keep two different iPods separate with different syncing rules for the same user account and iTunes library? I'm interested in the answer for both Mac and Windows machines.
Thanks!

Can't use the iPod on more than one computer!!!!!!!

Ok, This has got me so frustrated! We got an iPod and installed iTunes. We thought we had it figured out - we purchased music from iTunes, played it on the iPod and everything was great. Then plugged the iPod into my other computer to listen to our music and it won't freakin' play! says the computer is "Not Authorized" and suggests that by 'authorizing' the 2nd computer, it will overwrite the songs that are already on the iPod. This is NOT desirable. We've downloaded and installed iTunes onto the 2nd computer and used the same login account that we used on the first computer.
What gives!?!?! I thought this was supposed to be easy, but it's not! I was hoping for a quick and simple "plug it in and start listening to music." This is definately not quick and simple. Albeit, I'm new to this iPod craze, but this shouldn't be so difficult. I've poked around on the website and cannot seem to find an answer to this.
HELP!!!!
Thanks
oh btw, Is anyone else getting annoyed by Apple's rediculous attempt at monopolizing this market by forcing us to use thier own proprietary software?!?!

First of all, any computer that plays purchased content must be authorized. This can be accomplished by opening iTunes, then store>authorize computer. If you wish to use your iPod on more than one computer & not have your iPod content erased, you will have to have your iPod preferences set on "manually manage". See the following link.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61675
Also, it's not only Apple that uses proprietary software. How about Zune players, & several others?
