One mac account, two computers

I have one mac account and two computers. When I get up in the morning, I check my email. When I come to the office I recheck my email.
With my pop account through my ISP, my mail downloads at both places.
With my mac account, once I view it at home, I cannot see it at the office. Is there a way to resolve this issue.
What am I doing wrong?

it's IMAP. then it really should show the same messages on both computers. you can try rebuilding the mobileme inbox (mailbox menu->rebuild). but mobileme is a weird animal and is handled separately from all other accounts in Mail. I don't use mobileme so can't comment further on this, sorry. maybe somebody else who does can chime in or you could try the mobileme forum.

  • One .mac account, 4 computers - does screen sharing work?

    Hi there,
    I have one .mac account, however I have multiple computers running Leopard at home. Is it possible to have multiple ichat accounts on one single .mac account? Or do I have to get a .mac account for each computer of the household in order to be able to have them as separate entities on my contact list and therefore share the screen?
    If it's possible with one .mac account, how would I have to set up my machines?
    Thanks for information,
    Christoph

    Hi Tony,
    I am trying to access one of the machines from the outside. (I've installed a port forwarding accordingly). Would that mean I'd have to setup a VPN?

  • ICHAT NEWBIE--ONE .MAC ACCOUNT; TWO PARENTS

    Hi all,
    I am separated from my family and we bought two iSight cameras and hoped to use iChat AV to keep in touch. We have a full .Mac account, and I thought that the 'multiple logins' feature would allow us to both logon and do video chat. But this doesn't seem to work. We can both see ourselves, but cannot invite each other to 'chat'.
    Any advice on how to fix this is highly appreciated.
    Jim

    Hi Janes,
    iChat 2.x could by defualt allow you to use the screen nmae on multiple computers in different locations amd text chat.
    It would not let your do Video chats (or Audio ) only chats.
    iChat 3.0 through 3.0.1 did not allow multiple logins.
    iChat 3.1 does givee you the option of Mutiple logins but you will still be able to onlt Text chat with that.
    You will need a separate screen name either a Trial .mac account which will work in iChat afteer the 60 days or an AIM name.
    Links to both access points are on this page http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/work/11/

  • One .Mac account, several computers

    I have a .Mac account. I travel and want to use ichat to communicate with my wife. I have 2 iMac's and a Macbook Pro. How can i chat with my wife when I am on the road and use my .mac account. Do I have to set up an AIM account for her or can I use my .mac account. Do I have to buy another .Mac account?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    Get separate accounts.
    Free 60day trial(click on free trial on the top) here http://www.apple.com/dotmac/ keep your .mac name(for iChat) after the 60days.
    or free AIM name here http://www.aim.com/ click on "get a screen name" no need to use their software.

  • One .mac account two iphones multiple email address through .mac....help

    HI.
    I have the .mac account in my name. I added a second email address for my fiancee. have used the .mac address for me for years and recently got an iphone which the address works fine on. My fiancee just got an iphone and want to use the email address I set up for her on our imac (I sync my phone with my powerbook). However I can't get her iphone through the .mac account set up using her address. Any ideas?

    You don't need to purchase a Family Pack for this.
    .Mac members can purchase up to 10 additional email-only accounts for US$10.00 each, per year. (Email-only accounts include 512 MB of storage, which can't be increased.)
    If you use an alias, all messages received by your finance will be delivered to the Inbox mailbox for your account. You can't create an alias as a separate email account - it uses the user name and password for your primary account.
    If you purchase an email only account for your finance, it will be a separate email account - kept separate from your email account.

  • One iTunes account, two computers...

    Dear community,
    My first post: I'm looking for some advice regarding my iTunes account. Can anyone solve this conundrum?
    My ex-girlfriend and i used to share a computer (windows vista) with my iTunes account on it. I used to sink my iPhone 3G on it.
    We went our separate ways, still friends, now she has the computer. I bought a laptop (Windows 7), loaded iTunes on to it and opened my account but no sign of music etc.
    I'm borrowing the old computer for a week to see if i can sink my phone for the first time in a year but chiefly to duplicate our music collection using an external hard drive. I would like to be able to sink my phone on my own computer in the future and return the old computer with her music still intact.
    Do you think i will need to start a new account for her or de-authorise her computer and load a copy of the music back on to her computer?
    Can anyone help? Very many thanks. (I'm about to receive an iPhone 4S so really should be ready).

    You can copy the entire iTunes folder from the old one to the new one. Recommend you change the password to your account if you haven't done so already, but I guess you can leave her machine authorised until you find you need all five authorisations for yourself.

  • One .Mac account, 2 iWeb Sites, 2 Computers.

    Ok, I know a lot of questions have been asked about how to manage multiple sites, but I can't seem to find any information about 2 people sharing one .Mac account.
    My husband and I share a .Mac account. We each have our own Apple laptops. We each want our own iWeb site.
    Everytime I create a site, it takes over the one that he already created from HIS computer, and vice versa.
    There doesn't seem to be a way for both of us to have our own sites on one account from 2 separate computers. SO FRUSTRATING.
    Any help would be great, and try to leave as much technical jargon out of it. I'm a self-proclaimed idiot when it comes to computers.
    Thanks, everyone.

    Neisha,
    Another way to achieve what mp is talking about is for you and your husband to each create a one page "site" in iWeb and move it to the top of your site organizer. Put links (image or text) on that page to direct those who visit your short url to the correct site. I would recommend that you each have slightly different names for this site and page.
    You can see an example of what I'm talking about http://web.mac.com/hoovmoss/iWeb/" target="_blank">here.
    If you plan on building additional sites and splitting the domain files on one or more of the laptops to do it, though, you are probably better off using the method that mp suggested above.
    I've been keeping a sites index "site" at the top of each domain file (I have one for each site on the index page), but I'm beginning to find that inconvenient, as I plan on adding at least one more site. Someday soon I'll create a domain file containing only a sites index and then manually replace the index.html file in my idisk as necessary to keep the site index linked to my short url.
    If this is more confusing than helpful, let me know and I'll see if I can be a little clearer.

  • Two apple TVs, one Mac account

    I have two ATVs in two separate houses but one mac account. if i buy content on one ATV, i do not seem to be able to see it on the other. I am guessing this is not allowed which is annoying but typical. However, if i buy on ATV - can i see that same content on my laptop (i seem to be able) and iphone (does not seem to be there)??
    What are the rules? Or have i made an error?
    for reference, the content i bought is a TV series so i keep getting the updates on my itunes account but not the ATV nor iphone (which connects to the laptop).

    Niel, thanks for your reply. i cannot get your thread to open, i will try again later. I see it as http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1860 so let me know if not.
    I have sync'd the ATV though I think (will confirm when i can load that page). I get the content I bought on my itunes account. So, I bought/ordered the TV show on ATV and it automatically downloads on my itunes account (i have actually stopped that now as i would prefer to get it on the ATV if i must choose). Once on my itunes on my PC i can see it on my sync'd iPhone but not on the ATV.
    I would have thought that (ideally) it just comes up in "my tv shows" but, if necessary, i would have to buy it again and when i tried, it just gives me the message like on "applications" that says "you have already bought this, do you want to download it again". However, it does not, i need to buy it again.
    I understand copyright issues but i would have thought that, as a minimum, i should be able to share purchased content like music, across five different machines.
    Maybe this is will all be resolved once i can load that link you gave me - will keep trying.
    thanks, jon.

  • Multiple users on computer - one .mac account

    ok, I've seen other posts addressing similar issues, but not this specific one:
    I have two users on my computer and one .Mac account. I would like each user to be able to edit and post to the same website using iWeb.
    I thought that I could move the Domains.sites file to a shared location, but I can find no way of pointing iWeb to that location and then remembering that location later.
    any thoughts??

    This might not be the right way but since I was having similar issues today, this something that worked.
    I placed the domain.site file on my time capsule and the Imac which I created the pages with remembered the site.
    On my mac mini I can access the site it if I open the domain.site file directly using the finder and it will then open iweb on my mac mini. If I open iweb directly, it seems to remember previous iweb sites that I created but not the current one.
    Hope this helps.
    If anyone else has another way please let us know.

  • 2 Site in one .mac account

    Can iWeb publish 2 sites in one .mac account?
    Example:
    Site 1
    http://web.mac.com/myaccount/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
    Site 2
    http://web.mac.com/myaccount/iWeb/Site2/Welcome.html (protected with password)
    Can anyone advise me? Thanks

    How do you keep the two sites seperate?
    Do you have two Domain.sites files?
    If you have them in seperate folders, see this thread:

  • Ichat with one .mac account

    My wife and I have one .mac account. Can we both use ichat at the same time to talk to each other or do we need two seperate accounts.

    2hooks
    You do need 2 accounts, but you can either get a free AIM screen-name or a free .mac account (a free-trial account will still work for chatting after the trial period).
    Check this tutorial for how you get free AIM names:

  • Hi all - is it really possible to use one license for two computers or is it just a rumor?

    I heard that it would be possible that you can use one license for two computers. Is that the truth? And if so - how does it work?
    Thanks
    K

    Adobe CC or any perpetual previous version allows you to install & activate it two times (on the same computer or other different one).
    As per End user license agreement, only one computer can be used at one given time.
    Please refer to:
    Licenses and terms of use | Adobe
    Adobe - Adobe product license agreements
    Hope it helps you.

  • How to use ONE IPod on TWO Computers

    I have an Desktop-PC using ITunes 5.0 and an IPod 20 GB. When I connect my IPod with my Laptop, the complete IPod is deleting by the ITunes on the Laptop. How can I use ONE IPod on TWO Computers without deleting the music hole time?!

    I think you need to manually update on at least the computer that has the smaller music selection.
    it may be best to turn off automatic updates on both machines and manually add and delete songs.
    or you could network both computers to share one music library

  • Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?

    Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?
    I have a catalog with 7000 images we have to process / crop / etc. and I was trying to find a way that two of us could work on the images at the same time.
    Thanks!

    No, the LR catalog is not multi user capable (and cannot reside on a network share without tricks). What you could do is
    export part of the catalog (a subset of all images) into a separate catalog ("Export as Catalog", without exporting the negatives)
    work on different images in the two catalogs at the same time
    re-import ("Import from Catalog") the exported work after adjustments on it is finished
