Network logins from both 10.3 and 10.4 workstations?

I have an OSX 10.3.9 server running in a design studio environment. Permanent staff have their home folders on their local machines and freelancers have home folders on the server so that they can all share a bank of machines set aside for freelancers. Some of those machines run 10.3, and some run 10.4.
Is it going to be a problem when people log in and work on a 10.3 machine one day, 10.4 the next, and then go back to a 10.3?
I ask the question because I had a problem with someone's mail the other day. He had a local account on one of the machines, which I transferred to the server (forced permissions on everything so that it was owned by his network account) and all seemed to be working fine: his mail was there as well as desktop picture and all files.
The other day he was working on one of the 10.3 machines, and halfway through the day logged out of there and started working on one of the newer 10.4 machines. When he logged in there, all the mail he'd received that day on the 10.3 machine was gone!
So, is this a stupid question? Am I incredibly foolish to think that running 10.3 and 10.4 workstations interchangeably is a good idea?

Check the system requirements of an application to determine whether it will run on the PowerBook. Some Mac programs require an Intel Mac.

    I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes.  I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

    Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

  • HT204291 Airplay Icon lost from both my iPhone and Macbook Air

    I've lost the Airplay Icon from both my iPhone and Macbook Air, so I assume there's something up with my AppleTV setup (connected via LAN ).
    Airplay was working fine until recently.I've checked all settings and they seem ok. Anyone any further ideas?
    All other functions work ok, streaming video off the net , playing iTunes (installed on Macbook Air) from AppleTV etc
    I've just lost Airplay from 2 devices.
    AppleTV was updated in the last few days, but the Icon was lost before that.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Doug

    OK. Solved !
    A simple reboot of my modem/router (the fibre one from BT - BT Infinity) fixed this for
    both my iPhone and Macbook Air.
    I can also mirror my iPhone screen to the AppleTV now too.
    (mirroring only worked from my Macbook Air before)
    That must be a new feature. Excellent !
    I guess I should have tried that before, but maybe this will help someone

  • I have recently erased all content and settings on my iPad2 and performed a restore from both icloud backup and iTunes. On both occasions I am missing some photos. It tells me I am downloading 1641 photos but only does 903 starting at no.738

    I have recently erased all content and settings on my iPad2 and performed a restore from both icloud backup and iTunes. On both occasions I am missing some photos. It tells me I am downloading 1641 photos but actually only starts downloading from photo 738, only giving me 903 photos. where have the first 737 photos gone? Can anyone help

    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • HT201317 i have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream.  You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.

  • Multiple Airports with private and isolated guest wireless networks available from both

    Hi,
    I've been searching online for some equipment that can do what i want to do without going into the enterprise grade and spending $5000 on Cisco gear.
    Consider two locations approx 80m apart - Primary is a house, and secondary location is a garage. A Cat6 run exists between the two.
    The goal would be to have a wireless primary router in the house for wired and private wireless internet access, with an additional Guest wireless that is isolated from the private network that I can turn on and off if guests are coming over.
    In addition, the second location should also support both wired and wireless connections.
    It seems simple to me, one device in each location. The WAN port on the garage device would connect back to the house device. The two devices should be smart enough to know that one is extending the other. Someone on the guest wireless that is connected via the garage AP would not be able to see the wired devices even though it's traffic is going across the same wire back to the primary router.
    Can I do this without spending a fortune?
    Thanks

    Two Apple AirPorts would do most....but not all...of what you want.
    A few notes.....
    In order for the guest network feature to work correctly on an AirPort router, the "main" AirPort in the house must connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway device.  That is a deal killer for some users right there.
    When the guest network is activated in the garage, it must be activated for both AirPorts....house and garage.
    You could actiivate the guest network for the house and leave the guest network off in the garage if you wanted, no problem there.....but.....you could not activate the guest network in the garage without also activating it in the house first.
    "Guests" can only connect to the guest network using wireless. Up to you to decide if you want to leave the guest network open or use a password that would need to be used to connect to the network.
    But.....If "guests" had physical access to the AirPort in the garage....and they connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the AirPort in the garage, they would be connecting to your main or private network.
    So, if something like this was a concern, you would have to either hide the AirPort in the garage and trust that users would not find it....or....find some way to limit access to the back panel of the AirPort so that users could not connect to it using an Ethernet cable.
    If the features and installation limitations are acceptable, you could spend as little as $100 for each AirPort Express.
    If you wanted better performance from the AirPort in the house, you could use an AirPort Extreme there...about $200 and an AirPort Express in the garage.
    The deluxe option would be to use two AirPort Extremes.
    Finally, you would want to make sure that you understood the store's return policy before you buy.....in case something unexpected crops up, as can sometimes be the case.

  • How do I sync music from both my mac and pc?

    Okay...here is my problem.
    When I bought the first ipod all the music went on my pc. I then bought a second ipod and, using the same account, bought other music on my imac.
    Now I can either put the music on my ipod from the pc, or the mac, but not from both. When I try and sync the two, 30 of the songs say they won't transfer.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks!

    Maybe you should switch from auto sync to manually manage music. Then you can click and drag the items/playlists from either computer to the iPod when it's connected.

  • Read from both load cell and accelerome​ter

    Hi,
    I'm trying to collect data from both load cell (which doesn't need excitation) and accelerometer (which needs 4 mA excitation). As you can see below, I wrote a simple program to collect data from both devices. However, my program provides 4 mA of excitation to all channels, one of which shouldn't receive any current. How can I selectively provide the excitation to specific channels?
    Any suggestions?
    Solved!

    Good morning jeongho20000,
    Both aeastat and falkpl have provided excellent solutions for this.  I also wanted to mention a good KnowledgeBase article found at ni.com by searching for "daqmx channel same task" in the internal search bar.  This helps to outline both solutions.  After searching, you can then select multiple entries, but the best that I found was the 3rd choice, titled: Using Different Types of DAQmx Global Channels in the Same Task. 
    You can download from the article the attached example VI titled Multiple Channels Created.vi, and modify the block diagram to fit your needs.  Wiring the Task Out to the Task In of two DAQmxCreateChannel VIs is the programmatic equivalent of adding multiple Global Virtual Channels created in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to a common Task in MAX.  Either method works, it is only a user preference.  Feel free to reply if you need further clarification/explanation. 
    Best,

  • Can I save messages from both my new and old iphone

    I was unable to set up my new iphone 6 right away due to computer issues where my itunes and phone backup are stored. Now I have messages on both my new and old iphones that I don't want to lose, but I need to restore my new phone with the backup of the old. Is there any way to add the messages from the new iphone to the backup of the old?

    Not really - but at least you are thinking about it in advance which is good
    The restore from backup as you know is a snapshot in time of your phone
    So if you restore from the old - you lose the new messages after that point
    You may be able to use software like TouchCopy to get the messages off your phone - either old or new

  • Simultanious audio output from both mini Displayport and Audio Output port?

    Hey guys,
    I was wondering if someone who already has audio+video output through the mini displayport set up can be so kind and answer the following questions for me:
    Can audio be output simultaniously from 3.5mm audio port as well as the mini displayport? That is, if I output both video and audio to my reciever through the 2010 iMac's mini Diplayport, can i use the standard audio output port to provide line input for a further set of (active) speakers (analog would be fine)?
    In the case both outputs CANNOT work simultaniously, which one will work if i have both plugged in? If the mini displayport has higher rank (or priority or what whatever i should call the one that works when both outputs are plugged in), and the reciever it is plugged into is switched off, will audio automatically switch to the standard audio port? Same question goes if the standard audio output port has higher rank/priority?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Just in case you are wondering why the heck i would wanna do that, here's some background:
    I am planning on setting up my new 27' iMac on a 'work' desk in my bedroom, where i can comfortably sit and work on the computer as well as use the beautiful screen as my bedroom TV. Since i also wanna use my mac for all my living room multimedia needs (movies, tv shows, music, etc), i plan on running a long (15m) audio+video HDMI cable all the way up to my reciever in my living room. Furthermore, i am also planning on running a USB cable to the living room (through something of this sort: http://www.coolgear.com/images/171632pro.jpg) plugged in to a usb hub mainly for mouse/keyboard availability in the living room, but also for other things such as external hard drives and so on. The problem is that, apart from having my audio play in the living room, i also want to provide line input to my reference monitors that will be located at the iMac desk and i obviously much prefer i get the line input directly from the mac rather than running a third cable from reciever back to the speakers.

    Anyone?
    Is that so few people are using the new mini displayport for audio, or did i ask the wrong way?
    Help will be greatly appriciated as i need this info in order to plan my purchases!

  • Audio coming from both TV Speakers and external soundbar - how do I suppress the TV audio output?

    Just after my warranty expired, my Toshiba 55TL515U started to play sounds through both the TV's speakers as well as outputting audio to my external Polk Audio soundbar, which is connected to the TV via the Digital Audio Output line. The TV never did this after I connected the external soundbar until a few days ago.
    I don't want any sound to come out of the TV speakers, I only want sound to come out of the soundbar. There's a horrible echo effect that occurs when both sound systems are active.
    I don't see a setting on any of the TV menus to control this. I would assume that if the TV senses an external audio device, it would no longer output any sound to the TV's speakers.
    Is there a setting on the TV I'm missing, or is this something broken within my TV?
    I called Polk Audio tech support, and they claim it's not a problem with the soundbar, but with the TV.
    If anyone can comment on this, I'd be very thankful.

    I have the same problem. When I mute the TV, I get sound only from Soundbar which is fine. But, everytime I turn on my tv, I had to mute my tv. And if I accidently press the volume button on TV, then both TV and Soundbar plays sound and that sucks.

  • Best way to acquire data from both serial port and D/A board in real time?

    In my experiment, I have 2 kinds of data: analog and digital. Now, I have to write a programme to acquire both data not only in real time but also in sychronicity. My colleague tried to write a program for this purpose. However, the digital part was failed. For example, the data length found from "data buffer" is correct in the first 10 seconds; however, the format became wrong later.
    Is it one program involved two different data acquisition methods? 

    Hi,
    You need to figure out when the serial port sample occured by some technique and then obtain the equivalent sample from the aquisition board, probably from a circular buffer. If you know the sample rate (pretty implicit really) you can 'cherry pick' the appropriate measurement from the buffer to be synchronus with the serial port measurement.

  • Can my ipod download music from both a windows and mac based computer.

    My son and I have new video ipods. He works on a Mac and I have a windows computer. He would like to load some music from my computer (windows) itune file onto his (Mac based) ipod. Can he do this? If so, how?

    Not sure what you are saying. You can install and activate on 2 systems, but generally standalone installs have platform-specific serials and can only be installed eitehr on Windows or Mac, not both. However, your description seems to indicate a TLP volume license, so that would be possible.
